Chapter 10

~5 min read 928 words

The streamer picked up a wooden guitar.

Alone, he leaned against the window of the RV.

Outside the window, the wind passed.

His fingers began to move.

The melody rang out.

In that instant, the viewers who had been posting comments all stopped in unison.

The streamer sang the first note.

Only then did the comments start popping up.

【Holy crap!】

【Holy crap?】

【Holy crap?!】

【So beautiful?】

【After all this time, you turn out to be a singing streamer?!】

【Damn! This voice, this is just too good!】

【The lyrics are great! So pleasant to hear!】

【Oh my god, is this an original song?】

【It's an original song; I've never heard it before.】

【Good heavens! First thing in the morning, you drop a royal flush on us?!】

【One second ago I was half-asleep, and now I have goosebumps all over!】

【Wow... truly wonderful, so pleasant to hear!】

【Quick, quick, quick! Record it, record it! This guy doesn't have a habit of saving playback videos!】

【Yes, yes, yes! Record it quickly!】

【...】

The song ended.

On the screen.

The streamer, Brother Shiguang, still held the guitar in his hands.

He maintained the posture of playing and singing by himself.

For a long while, there was no movement; the screen seemed frozen, just like his expressionless face.

Outside the window, morning mist filled the air as a gust of wind blew past.

It ruffled his hair, and the window screen curtain gently brushed against him.

Making his face appear and disappear.

【Damn... this song, combined with this scene of the streamer, is simply perfect.】

【Is this a live stream? If I didn't know better, I'd think it was a clip from an art-house movie...】

【This wind messed up the streamer's beautiful hair, and it also stirred my heart.】

【Isn't it strange that I've fallen in love with a male streamer just like this?】

【Truly in love...】

【I feel like his eyes are so melancholy; how can he sing such a sorrowful song?】

【Now I realize, the scariest thing isn't having money, nor is it being rich and handsome alone; the scariest thing is a man who is not only rich and handsome, but also—has a story.】

【Could he have been hurt by some scum woman? Has he still not moved on?】

【It's really so pleasant to hear...】

【Can someone help confirm if this is really an original and not a cover?】

【I guarantee you with my lifetime of experience listening to countless songs that this is absolutely an original song; I've never heard it before!】

In Brother Shiguang's live stream room.

The RV started moving again.

Once again, he was on the road.

After the stunning performance just now, the streamer gave no explanation and had no interaction with the audience.

The viewers couldn't even find out the name of the song.

Only the comment section remained filled with chaotic chatter.

The number of people in the live stream room, after this song.

Rose directly to thirty thousand.

Thirty thousand people is less than a fraction of what a top-tier streamer pulls in.

But, it is an unprecedented record for a new streamer who has only been broadcasting for two days.

Yet, the terrifying part is not just this.

It is this streamer's follower count: thirty-two thousand!

A follower count of thirty-two thousand is nothing special in the broadcasting circle.

However, with thirty thousand viewers online and a follower count of thirty-two thousand!

Such high follower retention has almost never been seen in the entire national live-streaming industry!

Moreover, right now, it is early morning!

The time when traffic is least active!

9. Everyone acting like Brother Shiguang's air is a vacuum, right?

The RV continued on the road.

As always, it was a livestream on the road.

The streamer Brother Shiguang, as always, said nothing.

The viewers in the livestream room had already gotten used to it.

The bullet comments kept chatting about the song from earlier.

They also chatted about other things.

For instance, some bullet comments said they had just gotten on the subway.

Some bullet comments said they were still in bed.

Some bullet comments said they were eating.

Some bullet comments said they had just finished working overtime and were getting ready to head home.

Others said they were changing their kid's diaper…

In short, this kind of bullet comment phenomenon could truly be called a panorama of life.

It really was peculiar.

In other livestream rooms, the core is the streamer.

The streamer can't wait to become the focus of everyone's attention.

The bullet comments naturally all talk about the streamer himself.

But in Brother Shiguang's livestream room—

The streamer Brother Shiguang, because he didn't like to talk, was actually livestreaming yet had stepped back behind the scenes.

The main characters had become the viewers.

And the current viewers of this livestream room treated this room as a pure land.

A pure land that truly belonged to the viewers.

To the point that a faint sense of belonging had already quietly taken shape.

Through chatting, the bullet commenters got to know and become familiar with one another.

It really looked like a group of friends, even a group of family, gathered together.

Everyone chimed in, chatting about whatever they wanted to talk about.

Chatting about topics in real life they feared to bring up or were unwilling to bring up because of the system, human obligations, and scheming and fighting.

This, in itself, was also a form of relaxation.

And even more so a resonance and sense of belonging of the soul.

This novel phenomenon.
