Chapter 230: What's Wrong with Shearing a Little Wool?
Speak of the devil.
Lin Sui had just been implying things about those two teammates who not only held Yan Xing'ai back on the show but also shifted the blame onto her during their interviews.
A random Live Streaming PK match led them to run into one of them.
Cloud Puff was the one who had previously suffered a ligament injury.
The moment she connected with Lin Sui, the first thing she noticed was Yan Xing'ai.
Perhaps because she was too recognizable, and coupled with her own guilty conscience, she greeted Yan Xing'ai immediately.
"Hahaha... Captain... how come you've started doing Live Streaming PKs too?"
Cloud Puff's expression was somewhat unnatural.
It was as if she had done something shameful and was terrified of being found out.
She had just been crying and complaining in her own Live Streaming Room, hinting that being Yan Xing'ai's teammate was difficult and that she couldn't tolerate even the slightest flaw in her eyes.
She never imagined she would run into the person in question.
"I'm doing a commercial gig," Yan Xing'ai explained simply.
She glanced at the number of people in Cloud Puff's Live Streaming Room; there were actually over twenty thousand.
It seemed that in the Live Streaming circle, this already counted as a lot.
"It looks like you've been doing well since leaving the show," she remarked with a sigh.
To Cloud Puff's ears, this sounded like a jab at the fact that she had already been eliminated by the show's production team.
"It's nice not to have to train every day, so of course things are going well."
Cloud Puff said, "After leaving the show, I realized it wasn't raining outside at all."
She had originally wanted to say "after leaving your side," but that felt a bit too targeted, so Cloud Puff changed it to "the show."
Hearing her words, Yan Xing'ai was silent for a moment, then nodded, "You're right."
If someone complained about her, she might retort, but if they complained about the show, she would only agree.
Cloud Puff: "..."
It felt like punching a cotton ball.
"It didn't seem to be raining when you were on the show either, did it?" Lin Sui, who had been quiet until now, suddenly spoke up.
All of her various situations, including her elimination, were of her own making; she couldn't blame anyone else.
Cloud Puff acted as if she had only just noticed Lin Sui; she had been too guilty and focused on Yan Xing'ai to realize there was another beauty beside her.
She curled her lip, realizing that Yan Xing'ai was doing a commercial Live Streaming.
She was suddenly a bit confused, "If it's a commercial Live Streaming and you're not selling products, why come here to do a PK?"
"This Live Streaming Room enjoys playing PKs," Lin Sui said.
"Isn't this kind of behavior disallowed?" Cloud Puff looked at Yan Xing'ai.
"It's not a problem for the big star; it's purely the Live Streamer's personal behavior. The Live Streamer is short on money and wants to borrow some of the big star's light—what's wrong with shearing a little wool?" Lin Sui adjusted the microphone.
Cloud Puff: "..."
Wouldn't Yan Xing'ai's fans scold her?
"..."
They wanted to scold her, but in Lin Sui's Live Streaming Room, Lin Sui's fans were clearly more numerous.
Although they were all typing that the Live Streaming Room was full of Yan Xing'ai's fans on the surface, in reality... once they started complaining about Lin Sui's behavior, this group stopped pretending.
They started distancing themselves, stating they belonged to Lin Sui's side, and the money Lin Sui wanted to earn was theirs anyway.
This left Yan Xing'ai's fans with no way to attack, but they had already decided to post and complain fiercely once this Live Streaming ended.
"So, shall we play?" Lin Sui smiled slightly at her.
Cloud Puff glanced at Lin Sui's Live Streaming Room.
There were over five hundred thousand viewers online, approaching 600,000.
She even suspected she had misread it, wondering if she had counted an extra zero.
What had they been streaming just now to have so many viewers?
Her own total follower count didn't even add up to that much...
"Let's play. I'm an acquaintance of Yan Xing'ai, so it's perfect to play a round."
Cloud Puff sighed, "It's just a pity that we aren't on the same team this time."
She still wanted to play the "team bond" card.
Lin Sui said, "Don't worry, I won't hold her back."
Cloud Puff: "? What are you implying? You're just a tiny Live Streamer, what do you know!"
She assumed Lin Sui's Live Streaming Room was full of Yan Xing'ai's fans, as information had been too restricted while participating in the show.
Not only did she not recognize Lin Sui, but she also always felt that Yan Xing'ai was the most popular, otherwise she couldn't have been number one.
Therefore, in her eyes, Lin Sui was just a tiny product-selling Live Streamer.
Lin Sui looked innocent, "I just said I wouldn't hold her back; how is that an insult? I didn't mention anyone else."
Cloud Puff: "..."
"Ahem..." Yan Xing'ai coughed lightly, turned her head, and whispered to Lin Sui, "Calm down, she was eliminated on her own and didn't affect anyone else."
Lin Sui squinted at her, "She didn't affect you because there were people carrying the burden forward for you!"
Yan Xing'ai was shocked, "What do you mean by that?"
Lin Sui was dead serious, "Do you know I've always been number one on your voting leaderboard? The Company employees are almost vomiting from drinking so much milk every day."
"I didn't expect you... I'm moved to tears, Sui Bao." Yan Xing'ai's expression was almost enough to make her bite a handkerchief.
"That match where they held you back and your group lost, leaving you with the fewest points and almost losing your first-place spot—do you know how much milk I bought to keep you in first place?"
"That is all my money!"
Lin Sui narrowed her eyes, "So, may I fleece your fans a little?"
Yan Xing'ai's fans in the Live Streaming Room: "……?"
Is the person ranked first on the voting leaderboard actually her?
Yan Xing'ai was truly teary-eyed this time.
She knew how much Lin Sui cared about money.
Was she actually willing to go this far for her?
No wonder she felt that Sui-Sui was acting strange today.
She almost never badmouths others behind their backs; she says whatever she has to say to their faces.
This is the first time such a situation has happened today.
Is it because these two made her spend more money, so she is unhappy and is gossiping behind their backs?
It really is hard on her.
"Let's play! But let's agree on what the penalty is first!"
Yan Xing'ai patted the table; she had to let Sui-Sui earn something today no matter what.
Cloud Little Puff twitched the corners of her mouth; she had heard everything they said just now.
This isn't even talking behind someone's back anymore; she's saying it to their face too!
She gritted her teeth, "If I lose, I'll buy out all the remaining products in your Live Streaming Room!"
Lin Sui: "Where would such a good deal come from? My own fans aren't even getting enough to snatch up, and you still want to eat and take everything."
Cloud Little Puff: "?"
Is her ability to sell goods really that strong?
It's already sold out? No wonder she didn't see any products displayed in the Live Streaming Room.
"One hundred Flower Gifts! If you lose, you gift the other person one hundred Flower Gifts!" Yan Xing'ai shouted loudly.
This is Lin Sui's favorite penalty.
"Are you crazy? One hundred?" Cloud Little Puff shrieked.
Unfortunately, not everyone is a rich sister or a rich young master.
If Cloud Little Puff had money, she wouldn't have come to the Live Streaming to play PK.
"I'm not crazy, that's how we play in our Live Streaming Room," Lin Sui said to her.
"Then I won't play, I have no money," Cloud Little Puff finally said something sincere.
She wasn't so foolish as to force herself to play for the sake of face, only to be even more embarrassed when she couldn't pay up in the end.
Yan Xing'ai glanced at Lin Sui, as if asking her what to do in this situation.
