Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

"A gentle and humorous older brother type, with a slightly 'straight man' vibe. He sings very well, and this impression didn't change after I got to know him. The only difference is..."

"What's the difference?"

Xu Lin asked curiously.

"It's just that we discovered that Brother Ruoye has actually mastered the Qiankun Great Shift to a state of perfection. He's also very discreet when we chat, which is just ridiculous."

"So that's the difference?"

【Hahahahahaha】

【Look at you, Ruoye-nii!】

"So, next up is my impression of Jiji, right?"

Xu Lin sighed. She didn't want to avoid fire or practice Tai Chi, but what could she do?

She's really not with Xu Youyue yet? Why doesn't anyone believe the truth anymore?

"Yes, Brother Ruoye, tell us quickly, the demon is very curious!"

"Jiji, when I first watched her live stream, I felt that she was an interesting person. She can create funny content, sing, and often does good deeds. She's really amazing."

"She's still the same now; she's a really lively girl."

"The devil doesn't do good things!... No! The devil does do good things sometimes... Still no! The devil does good things, but he doesn't do anything lewd!"

Zaodao retorted frantically, but after going around in circles for a long time, she finally said what she wanted to say.

However...

"Chirp, take off your yellow glasses when you're not doing anything. You've just self-destructed again."

"what..."

"It's all Wakaba-nii's fault! The devil didn't wear yellow glasses!"

[Shut up and start babbling]

[Didn't you do anything right? Look at your first submission and say it again?]

嗯，早稻叽刚刚投的那个视频叫做【恶魔GHS又双叒被家长抓了】（BV1Dg4y1B7F6）

. . .

That would be self-destructive.

"Speaking of which, Jiji is doing her live stream from home, right? Her parents live together."

"Um..."

Zaodao gave a shy, soft "hmm," which was why Xu Lin took the initiative to change the subject for her.

It's really embarrassing to be caught being stubborn on the spot.

"Does that cause any inconvenience for you, like having to stagger your livestream times with your family? I've been living alone since I became a VUP, so I'm curious about that."

"The timing isn't too bad. Demon's livestream schedule is fairly consistent, and my parents know this so they won't bother him. But it can still be a bit of a hassle on other days..."

Chapter 101, Section 100: Brother Ruoye's Life Lecture

"Trouble? What kind of trouble?"

Xu Lin asked curiously, but then suddenly recalled the video he had seen when he was looking through the girl's submissions the day before yesterday, and a sudden realization dawned on him.

"Oh, you mean your family watches your live streams, so sometimes there are limitations when you want to create entertaining content, right?"

Xu Lin put it very tactfully; she couldn't say anything too blunt to a girl she was collaborating with for the first time, as it was a matter of politeness.

Could she really say that Jiji was being inappropriate in the live stream?

"Yeah, Ruoye understands me. Even though there's a generation gap with our 'devil dad,' some of the internet slang and entertainment we're used to are a bit hard for them to accept..."

You're used to driving, right?

Vertical grip and stuff, bending it by hand and stuff, do you really think I haven't watched your live streams and submissions?

Xu Lin was internally ranting, but on the surface he remained calm and gave Zaodaoji face.

These were not part of the topics they had discussed during the live stream; they were off-topic. Both of them were improvising, so Xu Lin naturally wouldn't reveal them to avoid embarrassment.

"Indeed, no matter what, there are big differences in ideas and values ​​between our parents' generation and our generation of young people. This is not only true for us VTubers, but I believe that viewers will also have similar experiences when they get along with each other."

"For example, when we say 'Holy crap!' we think it means we're shocked, but to our parents it might be a swear word. Not to mention some internet slang, like if you tell your dad 4396 2200, they might think you're reciting some formula."

Indeed, the generation gap is too severe.

[So, does Brother Ruoye have any solutions? I'm really struggling with this communication problem with my parents right now.]

"As for solutions, I don't know how Jiji usually solves them. Why don't you tell me first?"

This is a collaboration after all, and Xu Lin is still very careful about the arrangement of the conversation between the two sides. She just talked for so long, it's time to hand the topic over to Zaodaoji.

"The devil's father is relatively open-minded. We often chat. Because I sometimes stay up late for live streaming and my health is deteriorating, he also cares about me and says some things. Actually, he's not as hard-working as the food reserves seem."

"As for the key, it should be to communicate more and understand each other more. Adjusting your mindset is the most important thing."

The problem is, my mom won't listen to me anymore!

My parents often treat me like a child, never asking for my opinion on anything, which is really annoying.

"Well, Jiji's point about communicating and understanding more is one thing, but I think the key is the mindset behind that."

“I feel very relaxed when I’m with my parents, and I’m happy to be a child and let my parents make decisions for me on small things.”

"As for this viewer's dilemma, I believe it is a common problem for many young viewers. If you don't have enlightened parents like Jiji's dad who collect comics, how do you communicate with elders whose values ​​are completely different from your own?"

The fact that Ji's dad is a pervert who collects all kinds of erotic comics was revealed by Ji herself during a live stream, and it was even edited out by the subtitle team. So Xu Lin's words now are just a slight hint to her.

I mean, I really watch your live streams all the time, and I'm not just being polite. Don't think I don't know about the suggestive things you do on your streams.

"My suggestion is to first categorize your daily tasks. Trivial matters can be categorized into the ones where you can obediently listen to your parents. This could be as small as going out to buy a bottle of soy sauce, or as larger matters as things that are beneficial to you and do not conflict with other things, such as being asked to take a driving test."

"Be more compliant and sweet-talking in these matters so that your elders will think you have grown up and become well-behaved. This way, you will have more say in important matters."

"The second category is things that involve conflict but don't affect the overall situation. You can try to communicate about these things, keep a calm mindset, control your tone, and don't hold a grudge even if you don't succeed. These kinds of things are generally things like wanting to travel somewhere."

"The third category involves differences in dreams and future paths, such as the major you want to study in college or the city you want to work in. I think you can be more determined in this regard, be prepared, and have a good talk with your parents with the spirit of debate."

Xu Lin spoke in a very calm tone, but there was a kind of magic in that calmness that made people unconsciously believe him.

"I believe most parents are willing to communicate with their children, so they should also reflect on whether they have done anything wrong, especially in some commonplace little things."

"For example, why do we subconsciously think that doing laundry and mopping the floor is Mom's job? Everyone wants to be lazy, and everyone has grievances. From a mother's perspective, she works hard all day and still has to cook and clean when she gets home, while this little brat sits in front of the computer all day and makes a fuss. Why should he do that?"

Xu Lin shrugged, his tone gradually becoming humorous.

[Grass, real]

If it were me, I would have slapped that little brat to death.

Some working professionals have also gradually come to identify with the character.

"So, Ruoye-ge, you mean the parents are actually feeling unbalanced?"

Jiji chimed in with a laugh.

"I wouldn't say I feel psychologically unbalanced, but I definitely feel that my child hasn't grown up yet."

Xu Lin sighed. In fact, she only gradually understood these things after leaving her parents and experiencing the hardships of living alone.

Teenagers whose values ​​are not yet fully developed are influenced by strong hormones and are often blinded by their own perspectives, making it extremely difficult for them to see things clearly.

"If you want to prove to your parents that you've grown up, then at least act like that first, right? You're part of the family, not just someone who gets to enjoy the benefits. Everyone is willing to take care of children, but raising a useless adult is a different story."

“Even if you’re still in school and can’t earn money to support your family, you should at least share some of the housework, right? It’s your duty not to cause trouble for other family members, isn’t it? If you can’t even do that, then it just proves that you only think you’ve grown up, but you’re still a child at heart.”

【Oh, this...】

[What Ruoye said is so true!]

[I cried. If I had heard what Ruoye-nii said when I was a kid, my relationship with my parents wouldn't be so strained now.]

"Moreover, the main conflicts between modern teenagers and their parents are just a few: poor grades, laziness, and procrastination."

"If you want to confront your parents who raised you for so many years, why don't you start by overcoming these difficulties?"

Master, I've understood!

Got it, I'm going to go practice math now.

In reality, as a VUP (Video Up), Xu Lin's words wouldn't bring her many fans or have much impact on her live stream.

But she just wanted to say that, after all, there are so many teenagers in the live stream, and she still has the obligation to teach them a little. Whether they can listen to her is another matter, but at least she can feel at ease after saying it.

It's good to be able to help even one person.

P.S.: Yay!! 100 chapters!!! Awesome!!

Chapter 101, Section 102: Cotton Candy (Speed ​​Reading)

What Xu Lin said are principles that many people can understand.

But whether one can realize this at the right time is another matter.

In fact, these principles have already been taught to us by online inspirational quotes and classic articles in textbooks. But what were we doing back then when we were young and impetuous?

Playing around with my deskmate, secretly playing on my phone under the desk, and daydreaming about game strategies.

Enjoying a comfortable life without having to work hard, scheming against teachers to avoid copying less, and pretending to casually steal glances at the girl they like.

The book has its own house of gold, and the book has its own Yan Ruyu.

But how many people can truly understand the mindset of a young person?

Most of them probably just doodled on the portraits of people in textbooks (laughs).
