Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

On the phone, Jiji's messages were full of teasing. She always used emojis when chatting, which made their work conversations less dry.

"I'm listening."

"You're lying, I didn't even see your account."

"I used the smaller size."

Xu Lin replied calmly.

She leaned against the bed, wearing a Bluetooth earphone in her left ear, listening to the live stream of the two girls next door.

But a faint singing voice came through her right ear. Due to the live stream delay, the two singing voices were slightly out of sync, which was quite interesting.

"Hey, does Ruoye-ge have a secondary account? Which one? I'll go follow it."

"It's best not to expose my private account to the public."

Xu Lin thought about his collection and the anime he was following on his alternate account. The huge amount of yuri anime and philosophical videos made him give up the idea of ​​telling Zaodaoji about the account.

"I understand, it's a secondary account~ I have a secondary account too, I use it to look at things that interest me."

Perhaps people who appear in the public eye all have this kind of trouble, especially since they are in such a special profession as VUPs. Sometimes they can only secretly use alternate accounts to watch some private hobbies.

Both of them have less than 100,000 followers and they already have to be so careful.

"I really don't know how those celebrities who have to be chased by paparazzi to photograph their private lives manage to get by."

Jiji was somewhat sentimental.

If even VUPs like them, who haven't been exposed yet, have to learn to hide themselves online and create a persona, then wouldn't celebrities have an even harder time?

"They earn more too."

"You reap what you sow."

Making money isn't that easy, is it?

People like Xu Lin and the young lady, who come from well-off families and can be considered second-generation rich, are fine. But there are also some people in VUPs who don't come from such good families and rely on this job to make a living. They are the ones who work the hardest.

Because the psychological pressure can be really high.

Every captain and every donation has to be carefully maintained with a sense of gain and loss. In comparison, ESC's Liver is fortunate to have encountered a good company.

"Does Jiji have any ideas about joining ESC?"

Xu Lin asked jokingly.

She thought the girl was really nice, and there were precedents of individuals joining companies with their own skin, so she wanted to try to recruit someone for the boss.

"Me? We'll talk about it later~"

Zaodaoji played it safe, saying that no one would easily agree to poaching someone so soon after they'd just made contact.

"Hey! Lin Mu-chan and the young lady seem to be up to something."

"what?"

Xu Lin opened Xu Youyue's live stream; the two had probably just finished singing a song and were chatting.

"By the way, Miss, is Senior also at the company?"

The two had agreed beforehand that the live stream would be broadcast from the company, and they haven't forgotten that.

"I don't know, I don't think I've run into her before."

Xu Youyue pretended to be naive. She knew that this junior wanted to cause trouble, but she didn't want to talk about it.

"Eh*罒▽罒*, I don't believe it. Senior, you must know. Maybe you all came together."

Lin Mu, however, was relentless and showed no intention of letting the young lady off the hook.

Having finally come all this way and learned such important information as the two of them living together, Lin Mu felt it would be a real shame not to make a move.

As a liver from ESC, it would be unacceptable not to support Sakura Wakaba's passion!

Unqualified!

"Ugh, this is so annoying! Hurry up and sing the next song!"

Xu Youyue patted Lin Mu's head, her face slightly flushed.

"But I want to hear the young lady and senior Wakaba sing together!"

Lin Mu's image in the live stream was quite clear before; his cunning and scheming nature was never revealed.

But today, she felt it was time to tear down some of the established rules.

This is V's traditional skill!

It's also one of ESC's traditions!

The show has been tearing down its premise every month since it started airing, and viewers have gotten used to it. They even thought ESC was doing it on purpose, and were quite surprised that Lin Mu had stuck to the premise for so long.

"What chorus? If you want to hear it, wait until our new song is released the day after tomorrow!"

Xu Youyue still disagreed.

"But I want to hear a live version from both of you! Please! Seniors~"

But in the end, she still lost to Lin Mu's coquettishness.

"I really can't do anything with you. I'll go check if Ruoye is still there. If she's not, then don't blame me, okay?"

"The senior is definitely there! Good luck, Miss!"

. . . . . .

"You heard everything."

It was only a few steps, but Xu Youyue dawdled for almost three minutes. Lin Mu had almost finished singing a song by then, and she finally arrived at Xu Lin's room with a blush on her face.

I immediately noticed her live stream on her phone.

"You're so soft-hearted~ so soft-hearted~ You take all the blame yourself~"

Xu Lin smiled and sang two lines of a song for her, then stood up on his own initiative.

Before leaving, I sent a message to Zaodaoji.

"I'll go make a brief appearance for the young lady first, and we'll talk again when I get back."

"Okay, okay! Wakaba-nii, go quickly! Looking forward to it (?˙ー˙?)"

Jiji didn't seem to feel left out at all; instead, she replied instantly with this message.

"Who are you chatting with?"

The young lady asked curiously.

"Chirp, she and I are watching your live stream."

Xu Lin replied calmly.

"Oh"

Xu Youyue gave a dry "oh," and the two pushed open the door to the room. Lin Mu had just finished singing a song.

"Yay! Senior Wakaba is here!"

The pink-haired girl cheered.

Xu Lin then delivered a karate chop to her head.

"All you do all day is cause trouble for your seniors."

"Awoo!"

Lin Mu let out a mournful cry.

"Alright, viewers, I'm here. What would you like to hear?"

"Hurry up, after this segment I still need to prepare for my live stream. I'm collaborating with Zaodaoji later, so being late is not good."

Xu Lin didn't sit down; he just stood there, bent down, and greeted the viewers in the live stream.

Chapter 97, Section 98: Have you ever seen a VUP (Voice Anchor) who sends their own comments and requests songs for themselves?

Because of love

Mercury

His cat!

There were quite a few people requesting songs via live chat, but very few actually wanted to listen attentively to Xu Lin and the young lady's singing.

This group of people were all thinking about how to seize this rare opportunity to stir up trouble.

As mentioned before, the first generation of our ESC company members were all focused on singing, but after Xu Lin and a few others debuted, they gradually reduced their singing episodes and started to focus on doing talk shows and gaming episodes instead.

Part of this is due to a change in company policy, but there's also an element of making room for younger employees.

When Xu Lin and the young lady weren't as close as they are now, their collaborations were mostly casual conversations and games.

Once they got to know each other better, they only sang together at the end of the month, so they rarely sang a song together, which could be considered an unintentional form of scarcity marketing.

"Young Miss, what would you like to sing?"

Xu Lin initially considered whether to choose a song from the comments, but after looking for a while, he could only find a few serious ones, so he could only helplessly turn to look at Xu Youyue.

"Well... let's just pick a song from the comments that the audience requests, since it's a rare opportunity to sing together."

The young lady chuckled softly, clearly determined to maintain her persona.

She portrays herself as a slightly arrogant but extremely doting girl during her live streams, so even if she doesn't want to sing those Chinese songs with a strong ambiguous atmosphere now, she can't help it.

"Oh, this..."

Xu Lin frowned, about to say something to salvage the situation, but then he suddenly saw the young lady pointing at her phone, smiling like a Nike that had stolen some beef, and he instantly understood.

"Let's choose from the songs requested by the audience, but I'd like to sing a Japanese song... How about some Japanese songs from the audience?"

As Xu Lin spoke, he didn't even look at the screen. He took out his phone and sent a comment directly using his alternate account.
