As soon as she let out that shout, the crowd immediately erupted into an uproar.
"Since when did Mooncake's voice get so sweet?"
"Oh, you up there don't know. This streamer just announced her relationship today, so her words are a bit cloying. Sir, please bear with it for a while."
"After you announce your relationship, your popularity will definitely plummet. Just wait and see. I'm unfollowing. Bye!"
"Dear, it's recommended that a few extreme fans unfollow on their own. Don't deliberately speak up to seek attention. No one will care about you."
Such reactions were well within Ji Siyue's expectations.
The business of hyping up CP pairings is truly a strange one. If you believe in it, it's a peerless love story; if you don't, it's just a rumor. Generally, such relationships should never be confirmed; they should only remain ambiguous.
There were quite a few fans who shipped Ji Siyue and Qin Chengyao. But ever since they confirmed their relationship, Ji Siyue's fan count had been on a roller - coaster ride, going up and down, which was ample proof of the impact this had on her.
Ji Siyue could only pretend not to see these comments. After all, the platform would take care of moderating them, keeping them neither too positive nor too negative. Everything was for the sake of hyping up the CP.
After she played through two dungeons on her own, someone in the guild sent her a private message.
[Guild] Tofu Brain: The sister - in - law is streaming again?
[Guild] Tea Egg: The sister - in - law is here?
These two had called her like this before, but never had it made Ji Siyue blush like this time.
[Guild] What Month and Day: Yeah... I'm here.
[Guild] Tofu Casserole: YOOOO~ This is the first time you've responded to our teasing!
[Guild] Tea Egg: Is it really spring that's come?
Ji Siyue couldn't help but complain, "What's wrong with these two? I thought they were serious."
Hardly had the words left her mouth when someone else spoke up in the guild's chat.
[Guild] Tofu Brain: We are serious!
[Guild] Tofu Brain: Forgot to tell you. There's a jerk next to our dorm watching your stream. We came up to play the dungeon. Where's your boyfriend?
[Guild] What Month and Day: He went...
[Guild] Gold Coin: I'm back.
Ji Siyue quickly deleted the unfinished words she had just typed.
But everyone in the live - stream could see her screen clearly.
"Ooh? Mooncake even knows that Master went to the airport to pick up his mom!"
"After all, they live together. How could she not know such a thing?"
"Finally, this epic love story has a happy ending!"
[Guild] What Month and Day: Wanna play a dungeon together? You've seen the two new dungeons that came out after yesterday's update, right?
After that, no one said a word. Just when Ji Siyue was getting curious, she received a team invitation. When she joined, she saw it was the new dungeon on the hard difficulty.
"No one has achieved the first - kill yet. Isn't it a bit risky to choose the hard mode?" Ji Siyue murmured continuously in the live - stream.
[Current] Gold Coin: Don't worry. With us here, you won't lose.
Suddenly, one person left the team.
It was Tea Egg who logged off.
[Current] Tofu Brain: That jerk broke his computer, and his other wrist is injured. I'll switch to my main account. Otherwise, it'll be too difficult. You guys go find another reliable player to fill the team.
For the hard - mode dungeon, the minimum number of players is four, and the maximum is five. Now there were only three of them left, so they needed at least one more person.
Just as Ji Siyue was about to look for someone with good skills in the guild, someone suddenly sent her a friend request.
The name was [Feather of the Myriad Flowers].
Normally, Ji Siyue would just delete friend requests from random people.
But this person was different. In the friend request, they wrote "Gold Coin".
Strange. Why did they mention Qin Chengyao's in - game name? Could this be Qin Chengyao's alt account?
After accepting the friend request, she initiated a private chat.
Normally, when having a private chat, Ji Siyue would turn on the private mode. So when chatting with this person, she directly turned on the private mode for her live - stream. The viewers could only hear her voice but not see the screen of her computer.
[Private Chat] What Month and Day: Who are you?
[Private Chat] Feather of the Myriad Flowers: I'm Gold Coin's CP.
[Private Chat] What Month and Day: …
[Private Chat] What Month and Day: ???
What a joke! Qin Chengyao's CP was herself, wasn't it? Who was this person who suddenly popped up?
Ji Siyue originally wanted to ask Qin Chengyao, but after thinking about it, she decided not to.
[Private Chat] What Month and Day: Sister, are you kidding?
[Private Chat] Feather of the Myriad Flowers: Whether I'm kidding or not, you'll know once you invite me into the dungeon. I know you've turned on the private mode. How about we make a bet? I bet Qin Chengyao will dump you for me.
Wow! This person even knew Qin Chengyao's real name! They were really good at acting!
Although she was complaining like this in her heart, on the surface, she was so angry that she laughed. She directly agreed.
[Private Chat] What Month and Day: I've known him for so long, and I've never heard of you being his CP. Come on, I'll invite you.
Then, Ji Siyue turned off the private mode and invited this person into the team.
[Team] Amber: I'm here with my main account. Why is this person wearing a white robe? It conflicts with Lao Qin's role!
[Team] Gold Coin: It's okay. It doesn't matter. Let's just start.
Reading this message, Ji Siyue felt a surge of complex emotions.
Why didn't he refuse?
Could it be that he really knew this person?
But now that they were already in the dungeon, it wasn't appropriate for her to ask directly. She had to hold back her curiosity and focus on the dungeon.
This Feather of the Myriad Flowers was incredibly bad at the game. She was even worse than Ji Siyue when she first started playing. But her combo moves and positioning were deliberately imitating Qin Chengyao's style.
This contrast just made her look even worse.
After they finished the dungeon and were dividing the loot, Feather of the Myriad Flowers suddenly spoke up.
[Team] Feather of the Myriad Flowers: Brother Qin, you're still as amazing as ever.
[Team] Amber: ???
[Team] Gold Coin: ???
[Team] What Month and Day: …
Not only that, but the viewers in Ji Siyue's live - stream also went crazy.
"Damn! What's going on? Is a battle of the century about to start?"
"Who is this woman? Why is she calling him like that?"
"Could it be a doomed love affair?"
"Don't make a fuss up there. Isn't it more fun to ship the official CP?"
In the game.
[Team] Gold Coin: Who are you?
[Team] Feather of the Myriad Flowers: Brother Qin, don't you remember me? You once said you liked me.
Ji Siyue: "Hiss... What's going on!"
Just as she was about to ask, Feather of the Myriad Flowers suddenly disappeared from the team list.
