Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

First, there was the timing. Everyone had drunk quite a bit at the dinner table and was a little tipsy.

Then there's the location. Her spot is on the only way to the restroom, and after drinking too much beer, girls can't really hold it in, so she'll eventually need to go to the restroom.

Finally, add to that her acting skills, which conveyed both sadness and a sense of vicissitude, and wow, the effect is fantastic!

As for the sea fishing techniques he mentioned to the young lady, that was just a joke. Xu Lin's real intention was to say that he made 'fish' by sea fishing.

"Done and that's it."

Xu Lin clapped his hands, looking relaxed.

All the fish that could be caught had already been caught. The remaining few were either too clever to bite or not worth much, so Xu Lin was too lazy to stay there any longer.

Standing is tiring too!

"I really didn't expect there to be such an easy solution."

The young lady sighed, finding it somewhat amusing, and also feeling a sense of admiration.

Actually, their goal was simply to prevent their colleagues from telling the audience about the ambiguous fact that the two of them were drinking alone in a room last night. However, telling the operations team to not talk about it seemed too serious, and if they went to chat with each of their colleagues one by one, they would definitely be teased, and they might even be asked to do some strange things.

So Xu Lin's fishing technique was quite clever; after exchanging a few words, he perfectly resolved the crisis of exposure.

Well, Xu Lin and the young lady don't really want to make their relationship public yet.

【Pah! We're not in that kind of relationship at all!】

Xu Youyue blushed slightly and spat inwardly.

It's all those silly kids' fault. They kept asking her all sorts of embarrassing questions with ambiguous expressions, making her almost believe that she was really with Xu Lin!

Actually, they didn't even confess their feelings!

"Go out for a walk to clear your head? Or go back to your room and sleep?"

Just as the young lady was secretly troubled, Xu Lin stretched lazily, looked at Xu Youyue with a smile, and asked.

"I'm planning to broadcast for a little while, do you want to come keep me company?"

Xu Youyue shook her phone, asking a question that seemed to reflect either anticipation or something else.

"Ah... let's do it together then, and also promote the new song. Anyway, it was already exposed yesterday, so there's no point in keeping it a secret anymore."

After thinking it over, Xu Lin decided to start the broadcast together with the young lady.

But instead of going back to the room, we went to the beach.

The two planned to take a walk while livestreaming and chatting with their viewers.

"Hmm? You've finally decided to increase the frequency of our collaborations?"

Xu Youyue looked up, a hint of experience flashing in her eyes.

"After all, you'll be the one to announce my gender later, and you're probably the most suitable person for this role in our company, right? So I'm thinking of gradually increasing the frequency of collaborations to prepare for what's to come."

Xu Lin sighed, but still spoke truthfully.

According to the operational plan, the frequency of interaction between Xu Lin and the young lady should be gradually increased to allow the audience to accept this couple, and then the young lady should reveal this at an appropriate time.

After all, the young lady is a seasoned self-deprecating character, so it's more likely that the audience will believe her if she says it, and it's also more suitable for her.

"Eh... it's for work..."

The young lady was a little unhappy, but not that unhappy. Rather than feeling disappointed, it was more like she was being coquettish.

Her whole body was radiating the message, "Come and comfort me!"

"But I also really enjoy collaborating with you; it's very relaxing and fun."

Xu Lin smiled and gently rubbed Xu Youyue's dejected head.

"Hmph~ Fine, I forgive you then!"

The young lady gave a haughty snort and walked towards the door.

. . . . . . .

"Can you hear me? The sea breeze is a bit strong today, is it noisy?"

It's okay.

I can hear you! I can hear you!

"If you find it noisy, you can turn the volume down a bit. I'll try to speak louder later."

Plans can't keep up with changes. Xu Lin didn't expect that the seaside, which was calm at noon, would suddenly become windy in the afternoon. Fortunately, the wind wasn't strong enough to prevent the broadcast from taking place; there was just some background noise.

"Ahem, if you think it's too noisy, please say so in the comments, viewers, otherwise it might hurt your ears."

Xu Lin coughed, instantly attracting the attention of the live chat.

[Is Wakaba here too?]

[Young Miss, you actually went out for a secret rendezvous with Wakaba? www]

[Private beach, rocky cliffs, wilderness, essential oils, a man and a woman]

"What rendezvous? This guy insisted on coming with me, and we were just taking a walk on the beach."

The young lady actually dislikes the comments that interpret everything she and Xu Lin do as something ambiguous.

Like now, they were just out for a walk, but they were being accused of having a secret rendezvous. As for that suggestive comment? It's already been censored by the moderators!

"I had a full meal and had some drinks with the boss and the others, so I thought I'd go out for some sea breeze to clear my head. I never expected to run into Miss here."

Xu Lin continued to spout nonsense and fool the audience. The only thing he said that was true was the phrase "the sea breeze," and everything else was utter rubbish.

I get it, it's just a coincidence of fate (humorous)

Where are the others?

"Sister Yi and a few other girls have already gone back to their rooms. When we came out, Sal and Ye Jun were still drinking. I don't know if they're resting now."

The young lady answered the questions in the live chat, ignoring the ones in parentheses.

"What a waste of time! We just arrived at the beach yesterday, but it feels like a long time has passed. Hey, Miss, do you think we're stuck in an endless September?"

Xu Lin stretched out a big yawn, enjoying the sea breeze that blew in his face, carrying a slightly salty smell, and lazily started to make conversation.

"It's already 0202, why are you still using Haruhi Suzumiya memes? Are you some kind of retro old man? How's the battle for Reach going?"

The young lady glanced at Xu Lin, giving him a disdainful look. He only liked old anime and didn't watch much new anime.

"The joke doesn't have to be new, as long as it's suitable. This is an old anime, but it's still wonderful! It's wonderful!"

Xu Lin, however, didn't care at all.

Netizens these days have such weird interests. Things that inexplicably become popular are all incredibly cheesy, and they also like to make comments about deadbeats.

Xu Lin had absolutely no interest in it; on the contrary, he felt a bit disgusted. In this entertainment-obsessed era, as long as you're shameless, even an old swindler can become an internet celebrity, and someone who steals electric bikes can become the boss of an electric bike company.

The children know what they say better than they do in their textbooks; I wonder if this is a tragedy of our times.

"Is this the 'Ode to a Humble Abode'? I remember there wasn't this revised version when I was in high school, there was only the 'Loli Ode'..."

"I made it up on the spot."

P.S.: The initial subscription was over 500, which means five chapters. In addition, there are the two chapters I mentioned for the treasure chests obtained from Asahi Toumaru, making a total of seven chapters. I'll add one or two chapters every day, and it'll be alright.

P.S.: By the way, I really don't think that "Lightning Five-Strike Combo" is anything fun. I'm sick of it being pushed to me by Apache.

Chapter 82, Section 83: Live Broadcast from the Beach

"I made it up on the spot. I didn't expect that Miss had heard of 'Loli Ming'?"

During the live stream, the two of them still wore the same pair of headphones. They said they were taking a walk, but their pace was very slow, almost as slow as snails. Walking on the beach, Xu Lin held one earphone in each hand and glanced at the live stream chat every now and then.

[Damn, Loli Ming is alright, I haven't heard of this in ages.]

[This is such an old joke, but it basically confirms that Wakaba is the same age as me.]

Me too!

"I have heard of it, but I don't really remember it. I just think I heard a classmate mention it a few times before."

Xu Youyue's memory is a bit hazy, but judging from the fact that she only remembers the "Loli Ming" and not the "Lou Shi Ming," she must have been quite shocked back then, as she was a genuine loli in stature.

"Is this interesting, Wakaba?"

"It's actually pretty weird, but just forget about it."

"Oh~"

The two exchanged a glance, confirmed each other's true thoughts, and then reached a consensus.

This topic is a bit risky; reading the whole thing aloud might get me banned, so I'd better end this quickly.

"Wait, Wakaba, have we forgotten something important?"

The two were silent for a while, and then Xu Youyue seemed to suddenly remember something and tugged at the white-haired girl's sleeve.

"Huh? Oh, right."

Xu Lin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"Actually, we're here today to promote our new song. We already mentioned it in yesterday's live stream, so there's no need to keep it a secret."

Xu Lin was getting tired of standing, so he gestured to the young lady to sit on the bench over there for a while.

(OK)

The young lady gave an OK sign while continuing to speak.

"Speaking of which, this song was recorded many times, and I spent a lot of time working on things like revising the music video."

Sitting on the bench, Xu Youyue spoke with a hint of complaint.

"Yes, this new song is all thanks to Miss Zai Run. I haven't been able to find the time lately because of some things, so Miss Zai Run was responsible for all the discussions with the operations team and the illustrators. It was very hard work."

Xu Lin nodded. During that time, she had just transformed and didn't want to go out or contact outsiders, so Xu Youyue handled all these matters.

"So you know how hard I work."
