Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

[Raise your hand]

【hand】

"Hey, there are quite a few elderly people like me in my audience. So, should I try to find some old sketches or crosstalk performances so we can all reminisce about our youth together?"

Xu Lin said with a smile.

In fact, the audience of VUPs, especially male VUPs like Xu Lin, is generally older, mostly college students and working professionals. The junior high school and high school students that people usually think of are actually a minority.

So the atmosphere in the live stream room sometimes gets a retro vibe, and many old songs actually have a good effect when sung now.

"Thanks for the SC from Qiuli. Can I request a song? Sure, but I can't if I don't know the song."

"What would the boss like to hear?"

Let's play "I'll Love You Till I Die" then.

"???"

Xu Lin slapped three question marks at his boss.

This isn't an adjective; she genuinely displayed three question marks in her livestream—the familiar question marks from League of Legends. She always keeps these on hand during her streams, just to handle situations like this.

【Grass】

【Grass】

Instantly, a vast grassland appeared in the barrage of comments.

Actually, Xu Lin could sing "I Will Love You Till I Die," but how should I put it...

This song is too high, it's really hard on her voice. She's afraid that after singing this song, she'll have to switch to the talk show section immediately.

"Boss, other people play SC to entertain the streamer and have a good laugh, but you're trying to kill me with this SC, aren't you? 'Love You Till I Die,' do you love me? Request this song."

Xu Lin said this with a smile, just for the sake of the show, and it was definitely not meant to be serious. The person who requested the song was an ID that frequently appeared in her live stream, a long-time viewer. She certainly couldn't be so dismissive of a new viewer.

[Hahaha, Wakaba's sharp tongue is still as sharp as ever.]

[Ruoye-ge, I really want to hear this song. Can you sing it? If you do, I'll make you a captain.]

To be honest, it's been a long time since I've heard this song. Every time I hear it, it's ear-piercing. I really want to hear Wakaba sing it again.

"You really want me to sing this song?"

Xu Lin asked again.

[Really, really]

"Are you sure you want me on board?"

I'm absolutely not lying to you.

"Okay, wait for me a moment, I'll get ready first."

Xu Lin was about to leave when he suddenly saw a comment on the screen and stopped.

【Wait, Ruoye-ge, what do you need to prepare for singing a song?】

"I'm going to close all the doors and windows first. I'm afraid my neighbors will come knocking on my door if I sing this song!"

Xu Lin replied irritably, then got up and left.

She really did go to close the window, and while she was at it, she grabbed a portable microphone. Singing this song while sitting in a chair would definitely make her suffocate.

[Hahahaha, so true!]

[Damn, that's amazing!]

【xswl】

After waiting for a little over a minute, Xu Lin returned after closing the doors and windows, and without further ado, he prepared to start singing.

Love even unto death!

How many men her age haven't belted out songs in karaoke?

Well, the essence of this song lies in how well it's sung. Those few lines in level tone can be sung well as long as you're not tone-deaf.

(I won't post the lyrics to this song, I feel like everyone has heard it ←_←)

【Oh oh oh oh oh oh!】

[Wakaba is awesome! My youth has returned!]

[That high note is so high! Wakaba's falsetto is really coming through!]

Actually, that wasn't falsetto; it was just that the pitch was too high, and Xu Lin almost couldn't control himself and revealed his true voice.

To be fair, Xu Lin's voice after his transformation was indeed impressive. His vocal cords felt like they were made of steel, and even singing this song in his falsetto only felt a little uncomfortable!

Moreover, her vocal range seems to have expanded considerably. Xu Lin felt that if she sang this song in her current natural voice, it would be very easy, and she might even be able to belt out the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

"Holy crap."

Although he wasn't very tired, Xu Lin still pretended to catch his breath a few times.

"I'll never sing such a high note again, even if you kill me."

That's how they trick viewers into giving them tips! Look, here comes the captain, doesn't he?

Chapter 92, Section 93: What's it like when a cool, aloof straight man sings a cute song?

"Alright, alright, I sang 'I'll Love You Till I Die' for you guys with all my might, but what happened to the love you promised?"

Xu Lin blinked, giving a frantic hint.

Love? He gave his love to the young lady.

[Wakaba-ge, stop messing around. What love do we have? Do you want to fencing with me?]

That's right, all our love has been given to your wife, go ask her for it.

"No, audience, let's be reasonable. So this is what 'love until death' means?"

"Ah, the streamer is dead, go love the young lady instead?"

Three black lines drooped down Xu Lin's little head.

She's not short of money, but having a captain is one of the criteria for judging whether a VUP is popular or not, and she really wants that.

And since she's worked so hard, shouldn't we reward the river?

Uzi even rewarded himself with a game of Yasuo or Fiora!

【Hahahahaha】*n

The audience laughed wildly, and Xu Lin's chat was flooded with their "hahahaha" comments, along with a lot of small gifts.

As for the captain.

At least the girl who requested the song, Qiu Li, got on the show.

"Thank you, Captain Qiuli. Remember to check your private messages and join the captain group when you get back."

Several other captains subsequently renewed their contracts or boarded the ship, and Xu Lin thanked them all, so I won't go into detail here.

"So, the next song is also a classic old song. I still listen to it often now. I wonder if everyone will recognize it."

Xu Lin had already started playing the accompaniment when he said this.

The melody was very familiar; some audience members had heard it before but couldn't recall the song title, while others recognized it instantly.

It's Eason Chan's "Red Rose".

Actually, in terms of the charm of the lyrics, Xu Lin still prefers the Cantonese version of "White Rose," but what can he do when his Cantonese isn't good? Fortunately, the Mandarin version is also a classic, so it's not inferior in any way.

"A dream within a dream from which I cannot wake, a red thread binding me under house arrest."

Xu Lin debuted as a singer, and although his singing ability wasn't particularly outstanding, it had a unique charm.

His singing voice was languid and deep, yet his enunciation was clear and full of energy. The subtle bubbly sounds blended perfectly into the music, just like a beautiful dream woven by her.

Let those who listen attentively experience the story depicted in the song through her voice.

"All stimulation leaves only a weary pain, leaving one indifferent."

Her version has a different feel from the original singer Eason Chan's version. It has some of her own characteristics. It lacks the lingering and reluctance in the memories, leaving only a faint sadness and indifference.

Combined with her languid yet slightly aloof voice, she brought a completely different style to the song.

"The red of roses, dreams that are easily wounded."

"Holding it in your hand, yet slipping through your fingers"

"Another disappointment..."

As the last line of lyrics was sung, Xu Lin's style was fully formed. The whole song was no longer about reluctance, but rather had a sarcastic tone.

It's like saying...

Who do you think you are?

【Aaaaaaah, I'm done!】

[This really gave me goosebumps; I absolutely love Wakaba's aloof style!]

The comments section was filled with cheers for their beloved Wakaba, unaware that the girl behind the screen was wearing a bitter smile.

It was supposed to be a song about reluctance and some complaints, but she ended up singing it as a sarcastic remark about breaking up.

She didn't actually want to do this, because she felt it was somewhat disrespectful to the original singer's interpretation and didn't quite match the style of the lyrics. But unfortunately, as long as she put her heart into singing, every song she sang had the same feel to it.

It doesn't seem to be her fault; it's just that her voice gives off a certain feeling. She's fine when she's talking, but when she sings, she becomes very cold.

"Alright, now that we've finished another song, let's chat for a bit."

Xu Lin glanced at the comments, waited a moment for the delay to pass, and chatted casually with the audience.

What came to mind was the scene of recording a song with Xu Youyue that day.

Do you know why a song that is clearly simple and not difficult, which should have been recorded in one take by the two of them, took an entire afternoon to record and was repeated more than ten times?
