Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

"Because I love it! I love eating hot pot in the summer! It's so exciting to sweat!"

Lin Mu didn't look at Xu Lin. She smiled, leaned on the armrest, and had a satisfied look on her face like a kitten.

"Then you should try the public bathhouses in the north; the saunas are very comfortable."

"Yes, yes! So I plan to move to a house with a bathtub later. The landlord of the house I'm renting now won't let me renovate it, and he won't even let me install one myself."

"I probably won't have the chance to experience a public bathhouse in the north, but I still want a bathtub. I love taking baths!"

The pink-haired girl jumped down the steps and took out her phone to check the time.

What time is it?

Xu Lin asked her.

"It's 1:30, I should head to the train station too."

Lin Mu looked somewhat disappointed.

She had few friends growing up, so this was a rare opportunity to go out and have fun with her friends. She was so happy that she didn't want to go home.

But she eventually had to go back; she couldn't keep bothering Xu Lin and the young lady here.

"Would you like us to give you a ride?"

"Forget it, I can go back by myself. Seniors, don't bother going back and forth. It's not far anyway."

They were in the business district, and the subway station was only a few hundred meters away. There was really no need for them to go through all that trouble with her, since it wasn't her first time in Ye Hai.

"Alright, when Miss and Li Huiyan come out, we'll take you to the subway station, okay?"

"Uh-huh!"

. . . . . .

Lin Mu went home.

The home has returned to its usual two-person mode.

It's less lively, but it feels more like home. It's a feeling that's hard to describe, but it's definitely changed.

The two of them are going to do a joint live stream today.

Although they've been collaborating quite frequently lately, there's nothing they can do about it—it just so happens that a new song was released. They still need to do the collaboration to promote the song and share some fun stories from the recording process.

Can we at least get some likes, comments, and shares?

The live stream was scheduled for 8 PM and would last for two hours. There was still some time left, so the two of them were currently watching the video comments.

The top comment was: "I think these two should get married already."

The replies below are all +1.

However, Xu Lin and the young lady found these comments rather boring.

If you really want to see something, just check out the hilarious antics of netizens.

The two sat on the sofa, the young lady hugging a pillow with her own character portrait on it, while Xu Linlai operated the tablet, both of them expressionlessly ignoring the comment.

No one spoke.

The second most popular comment is from Yan Jie: "Waaaaah, my Sakura got stolen!"

The next string of "lao" (捞) characters, including the "lao lao da jie tou" (捞拉大姐头), doesn't have much to say.

The third one is Xueyue's, and what she said was quite mischievous.

[I feel so sorry for Tobi-Hina; she didn't get to talk much with Wakaba-senpai during the team-building activity.]

The following string of "hahaha"s suggests that persecuting Tobi-Hina has become a tradition at ESC, and Yukizuki is the ringleader.

The remaining few are also livers from the same company, so Xu Lin will skip them. The only one worth mentioning is that Jiji also commented.

[Holy crap! Ruoye-san actually wrote the lyrics?! So the songs are all based on real events?!]

Jiji's comment stirred up a hornet's nest, with a bunch of cats showing shocked expressions below. It earned its place as a top comment based on its own merits, no wonder it's Jiji.

This song is based on a true story (just kidding)

Upon seeing this comment, Xu Lin and the young lady exchanged a glance and smiled at each other, everything understood without a word.

Anyway, they won't admit it themselves, so let the audience guess whatever they want.

Because the cover was a sweet song, most of the comments weren't too silly, but one ID suddenly caught Xu Lin's attention.

The attack of BT.

However, it's not too surprising, since Bing Tang is always popping up in various places. Xu Lin even saw a popular comment about Bing Tang when he was watching the show a while ago.

She hadn't even debuted yet back then. Although she was making MMD videos, she wasn't as popular as she is now. The fact that this video made it to the top comments shows that she's a veteran anime fan.

The comments from Bing Tang were also quite interesting.

She only typed three words.

I'll take it for 9.9 yuan!

Well, three words are fine, because it means "getting married soon," so rounding it up makes it three words.

The comment below reads: "Ice Sugar is now an investor in Old Dreams."

Xu Lin said thank you, as he found it funny.

After reading the comments, the two should prepare to go live.

Although they could actually broadcast using one computer, in order to deceive the audience and to prevent any slip-ups from being accidentally revealed, the two of them still broadcast from their own rooms.

They live together, less than ten meters apart, yet they still use QQ voice chat to connect. Those two are something else!

"Hello everyone, this is Lan Ruoye, a first-generation member of XP Club."

Xu Lin greeted everyone first and then immediately started working on a task.

[So it really is XP Company!]

【Brother Ruoye, are you trying to form a rebel army? Hahahaha】

"Good evening, everyone. I am Xu Ying, a first-generation member of ESC Club."

"Yes, it's strange, even though the young lady and I are not in the same club, we were classmates."

"To be honest, it's true. I don't understand why I was in the same class as this guy, and we even sang a song together."

【? 】

Why are you telling jokes again? Hahahaha

"However, young lady, do you know a secret?"

"What secret?"

"You don't know the secrets about our two companies, Miss?"

Xu Lin said with some surprise.

"Speak quickly, I have no time for playing riddles with you!"

Xu Youyue's tone was becoming impatient.

"Well then, I'll tell you, and I'll also explain to the audience that our two companies are actually owned by the same boss! How about that! Now you know why we were in the same period, right?"

Xu Lin's tone was like telling a story to a child, the kind of voice you often hear from voice actors on children's channels, which was just like... well, let's just say it was hilarious.

Wow! That's amazing!

The young lady was equally impressive, her perfect pronunciation capturing the essence of the text.

P.S.: I wasn't paying attention while I was typing, and only realized my cat had somehow gotten into my computer desk drawer when I finished and wanted to take out my headphones to listen to music. I'd even locked it inside, hahaha (?ω?)hiahiahia

Chapter 110, Section 111: What's the situation when someone adds "sc" to a live stream partner?

"Ahem, this joke didn't work today, I'm so embarrassed."

When the young lady uttered that perfect pronunciation, Xu Lin almost choked on his saliva and coughed twice.

"I'm totally speechless. What is this?! How did you write such a messy script?!"

Xu Youyue was also a little confused. In the past, the opening remarks for the two of them during their live broadcasts were written by Xu Lin, and the effect was always quite good. So this time, she didn't look at them carefully and went to search for them herself as soon as she got them.

Who would have thought things would turn out so badly today!

Hahahahaha

[So it really was a script!]

[Husband and Wife Crosstalk]

"There's nothing I can do. There have been too many collaborations lately. Where am I supposed to find so much inspiration to write scripts..."

Xu Lin felt a little guilty. Actually, she had been slacking off too much lately. She played a single-player clicker mobile game for a long time before finally finishing the script in the last half hour.

Poor quality is normal.

"Wasn't it you who first suggested the collaboration?"

The young lady gave her a disdainful look.

"I didn't say that. It's just that the operations lady suddenly contacted me today and asked me to collaborate with you on a promotion. The schedule was all arranged. It's just a company task."

So you're saying you don't want to collaborate with me?

"I'd rather play video games, okay? I haven't even played Alatreon yet."

"??? Hung up! I'm leaving right now!"

[Oh no, they're arguing, guys!]

【Wakaba-nii's mouth!】

"No, no, no, Miss, if you leave, how am I supposed to do any of the publicity work by myself!"

"Lan! Ruo! Ye! Do you want to die?!"
