Chapter 52: After the Livestream

He Lan had a strange feeling, a feeling that her private garden had been invaded by a group of uninvited guests.

Actually, she also knew that the more people in the livestream room, the better.

Lu Yan He wanted to livestream; he wouldn't be doing it for no reason. He was an entertainer; he must want more attention.

It was just that the messages those people sent made He Lan feel inexplicably depressed, feeling that those people were speaking too recklessly and didn't seem to want to chat properly.

"Lanlan, what are you daydreaming about?" Xu Mingyue had just finished a group report and saved the file. Because she had been sitting for too long, she stood up to stretch her arms, only to see He Lan staring blankly.

He Lan came back to her senses, shook her head, and said: "It's nothing, just thinking about something."

Her eyes rolled, and she asked: "Mingyue, do you follow celebrities?"

"Follow celebrities? What do you mean by following celebrities?" Xu Mingyue didn't answer but asked instead.

He Lan: "Following celebrities means following celebrities, what else could it mean?"

"If you mean the kind of following where you pay attention to him every day and cheer for him crazily, I don't. But I have celebrities I like; I'll watch the shows they act in and learn about any news related to them."

"Then if someone says something bad about him, will you be angry?" He Lan asked again.

"Bad? Smearing him? I guess so, I'd be a bit unhappy."

"Then will you refute them?"

Xu Mingyue shook her head and said: "I never try to reason with people online, let alone refute them. It's meaningless. You don't even know what kind of people they are. 'You cannot talk about ice with summer insects.'"

He Lan nodded thoughtfully.

"Which celebrity have you taken a liking to? Are you following a celebrity?" Xu Mingyue asked curiously.

He Lan shook her head: "Not at all."

Lu Yan He's livestream that night lasted until 11:30. Because he heard the sound of the door opening and knew someone had returned, he simply turned off the livestream.

The livestream room was a bit livelier than usual today. He didn't know why, but the number of viewers stably maintained over one hundred, with people constantly coming in and going out.

People in the chat frequently typed "This streamer is so handsome" or "What is this livestreaming?", and occasionally someone would help answer.

There were also people in the chat typing "The streamer is quite impressive. I was in this livestream room an hour ago watching him organize notes, and I'm here now, and he's still organizing notes. Is he really livestreaming doing problems? Why do such a thing? With such a handsome face, doing anything else would attract more fans than livestreaming studying, right?"

Lu Yan He didn't offer any explanation.

Those familiar ID names from before didn't pop up later, so Lu Yan He said "I'm logging off, see you tomorrow" and directly turned off the livestream.

Yan Liang and Li Zhibai returned together.

"Why are you two back so late?" Lu Yan He walked out of his room and asked.

Looking closer, oh, Li Zhibai didn't know what happened, but he was so drunk his face was red, and he had no consciousness at all, being carried on Yan Liang's shoulder.

Yan Liang: "Give me a hand."

Lu Yan He and Yan Liang threw Li Zhibai onto his bed together.

Yan Liang was covered in sweat.

"I'm exhausted."

Lu Yan He asked: "Why did he drink so much?"

Yan Liang: "Tonight, Zhou Ping'an took us to eat with a show producer. Zhou Ping'an told us all to make this producer happy so we could be on his show later. Li Zhibai usually doesn't care about these things; he's popular anyway, and shows are always looking for him. But today, I don't know what happened, he insisted on drinking the guy under the table. As a result, he hurt the enemy by a thousand and damaged himself by eight hundred."

Hearing this, Lu Yan He couldn't help but look suspiciously at Li Zhibai, who was snoring on the bed.

"Let's turn him over. I've seen it before; it's better for drunk people to sleep on their stomachs. In case they vomit, it won't get stuck in their throat."

The two turned Li Zhibai over.

Li Zhibai suddenly shouted: "If I don't drink you under the table today, my name isn't Li!"

Lu Yan He and Yan Liang were dumbfounded.

"Does he have a grudge against this producer? Who were you drinking with today?" Lu Yan He asked.

Yan Liang said: "Chen Biqiu."

"Ah, him?" Lu Yan He said. "Then I know why."

"Why?" Yan Liang asked suspiciously.

"Do you remember Li Zhibai being chased and scolded by Luna's fans for a long time, saying Li Zhibai was riding on Luna's popularity and that he was a hooligan?" Lu Yan He said.

"I remember. What does this have to do with Chen Biqiu?" Yan Liang asked.

"Did you forget that Li Zhibai was scolded by Luna's fans because of his performance on the show 'Let's Go Camping Together'? Chen Biqiu is the producer of that show. At that time, the actions and expressions Li Zhibai was scolded for were all editing problems. Didn't he say those actions and expressions weren't directed at Luna at all? But they were edited to make it look like he had feelings for Luna. He even called and scolded people, don't you remember?"

Yan Liang realized instantly: "Ah, the producer of that show is Chen Biqiu. No wonder."

He suddenly understood why Li Zhibai was so abnormal in offering toasts tonight.

Li Zhibai really wanted to use the toasts to drink Chen Biqiu to death.

A proper desire for revenge.

"Forget him. I drank a bit too, my head is so dizzy. I'll take a shower and go to sleep."

"Hmm."

Lu Yan He returned to his room and continued reading.

Time was short, and his study plan for today wasn't finished yet.

He kept reading until almost one in the morning before washing his face and going to sleep.

Another rain started to fall.

Lu Yan He woke up listening to the sound of the rain, opened an app called "Wen Gu," and listened to the history audio lessons. While listening to the lessons, he got dressed and packed his things.

A lesson was fifteen minutes, just enough for him to get dressed, pack his schoolbag, and wash his face and brush his teeth.

In the subject of history, a large number of questions beyond the syllabus appear in the college entrance exam every year, so Lu Yan He searched online and downloaded this app.

The history audio lessons inside talked about some major events in Chinese and foreign history. Lu Yan He used the audio lessons to perfect the historical development context he had established in his mind.

There was a sentence history teachers often said: every period of history is closely related and has its own logic.

Lu Yan He didn't know if this sentence was entirely correct, but following this viewpoint to connect every period of history and turn it into a whole was indeed helpful for him to remember the various events of history.

When he went out, Yan Liang had just come out of his room.

"Why are you going out so early today?"

"It's raining. If I don't leave early, the bus will be crowded," Lu Yan He said.

Yan Liang yawned and nodded: "Then be careful on the road."

Lu Yan He said: "Aren't you going back to school for classes? Although you are taking the art exam, the cultural score requirement for the college entrance exam isn't high, but you still have to take it."

Yan Liang said: "I'll start going back to prepare for the exam in October."

"Hmm." Lu Yan He heard Yan Liang had a plan, nodded, and left. ===== CHAPTER 53 =====
