Chapter 116

【Mmm, I know, thanks for the reminder, I'm a sister.】

【I've set off!】

Ling Yue looked at the dots on the screen; Nainiumao was already panting from exhaustion, it raised its head, its little feet tapping on the ground, wanting to lie down beside its master, but Ling Yue restrained it: "Dian Dian, what you need to do now is just protect yourself."

Nainiumao looked at her and meowed: "Why? Dian Dian wants to stay with its master."

Ling Yue furrowed her brows: "Someone has already come to rescue the master; what you need to do now is stay conscious. When someone comes, lead them to help."

"You should know, if you worry about the master, the master will also worry about you; if anything happens to you, the master will surely be heartbroken, and besides, who will show them the way?"

Nainiumao Dian Dian instantly understood, shook its head, held its head high and chest out, and said: "Okay, I, Dian Dian, will guard the master's safety~"

After Ling Yue finished translating, the viewers in the livestream all cried.

【Waaah, I'm so moved!】

【Waaah, I feel terrible! I looked at my little troublemaker at home, just told it to be sensible and obedient, to come over for a hug and kiss from Mom, but it actually gave me a white-eyed stare!】

【Could this be the rare, hard-to-find other people's kitten?!】

The livestream discussion was lively; Ling Yue lowered her gaze, looking at the big face glaring at the screen, which was Nainiumao Dian Dian lying on the ground guarding its master.

She sighed, and the next moment, a female voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone: "Dian Dian? Dian Dian?"

【Waaah, the sister who came to save has arrived!】

Dian Dian jumped up and ran quickly to the door; the viewers could no longer see what happened next, but they could hear the girl who came to rescue, accompanied by her family, prying open the lock, followed shortly by the sound of tap-tap-tap footsteps.

"Found her, it's her!"

"Brother, hurry and help, I've wrapped her in a blanket, you carry her out, 120 should already be downstairs by now."

"Hmm, I understand."

The livestream viewers only saw two pairs of long legs; suddenly, a pair of legs bent down, and it was the rescuing sister picking up the phone that had fallen on the ground, with chestnut-long hair, red lips and white teeth, a sweet-looking sweet girl!

Judging by appearance alone, no one would have guessed she could be so decisive and efficient, decisively summoning people to pry open the door.

"Hello, streamer, I am Nanchao Sibai Bashi Si."

【I know, I know, that's the rescuing sister mentioned earlier, her nickname is Nanchao Sibai Bashi Si!】

【The person has been rescued, I also breathed a sigh of relief.】

【The person who was just arrogantly vicious, does their face hurt now? They've been slapped in the face, right?】

【Hahaha, you couldn't even imagine our streamer's abilities!】

【What witch? She's clearly a fairy!】

Ling Yue: ……

Actually, there's no need for that; she really can't afford it.

Ling Yue really wanted to cover her face; this is too embarrassing!

She didn't notice her cheeks flushing, blinked her eyes, and wanted to change the subject.

Nanchao Sibai Bashi Si excitedly looked at Ling Yue and suddenly spoke: "Streamer, what you said is correct, it really is her; I've already had my brother send the person to the hospital, and now I'm with Dian Dian."

She crouched down, delightedly looking at Nainiumao Dian Dian, this super cute little thing, having watched the whole process of it saving its master, Nanchao Sibai Bashi Si was simply dying of envy.

But, this is all thanks to how well the sister raised it.

She wanted to pet Nainiumao Dian Dian, but it suddenly stepped back half a pace and began meowing, leaving everyone startled.

Nanchao Sibai Bashi Si: "Is it that it doesn't like me, resisting me?"

"Meow~ meow meow meow meow~"

"How could it be? You are Dian Dian and its master's lifesaver; Dian Dian wants to thank you!"

After hearing the whole story, Ling Yue couldn't help but smile; the next moment, the livestream viewers and Nanchao Sibai Bashi Si could see——

Nainiumao suddenly lifted its upper body, its two white-gloved little paws pressed together, lifelike, resembling a human bowing in thanks: "Thank you, thank you for saving the master and Dian Dian~"

【Wow wow wow, what an amazing little cat!】

【What kind of adorable human-world creature, other people's kids 【envious】【envious】】

Nanchao Sibai Bashi Si excitedly covered her mouth, Nainiumao Dian Dian rubbed against her calf, its soft, smooth fur lightly brushing past; even through clothing, one could almost feel that silky sensation.

It made people involuntarily want to reach out, touch it, hug it, but the next moment, the little Nainiumao Dian Dian darted away, emitting a string of meows.

Seeing the viewers all asking themselves, Ling Yue curled the corner of her mouth: "It's saying, the master can't be without Dian Dian, Dian Dian is going to stay with the master."

【Dian Dian really is good, I'm about to cry to death!】

【Looked at the troublemaker nearby, not bad, again causing havoc, three days without a beating, lifting the roof tiles!】

The viewers were moved, Nanchao Sibai Bashi Si prepared to leave quickly; this place is toxic, as for checking the leak point, only the upcoming police can rely on.

She had taken a few steps when she realized that, due to her earlier commotion, a large crowd of residents had gathered outside; Nanchao Sibai Bashi Si's face instantly grew grim.

Suddenly, several men in black suits walked over from outside and blocked her: "We're from the property management; we heard you privately pried open this resident's door?"

Nanchao Sibai Bashi Si nodded, preparing to go out, but the man in black suit stopped her: "What are you doing? Where are you headed——"

Before the word 'run' was even finished, a police officer in protective gear suddenly approached: "We're from the City Public Security Bureau, we received an online alarm about carbon monoxide poisoning in this household; what are you doing?"

"Carbon monoxide poisoning?!"

"Not to mention the property management, even the reporting owner was startled; originally gathered in a crowd at the doorway, they all scattered in a hustle!"

"They're not stupid; there's toxic gas leaking in this house! Who would dare stay here? What if they get poisoned?"

"Just now, the arrogant property management staff instantly went weak in the knees."

Nanchao Sibai Bashi Si instantly became respectful, looking at the police and explaining: "Hello, Officer Uncle, I also came to rescue people."

Hearing her words, the countless viewers in the livestream unconsciously nodded, looking at each other, we could also testify for the sister!

The police officer nodded, evidently speaking to everyone present: "No matter why you're here, please leave quickly! Don't harm your own body!"

The property management staff repeatedly nodded: "Okay, okay, we'll leave right away, we definitely won't get in your way!"

After saying that, he turned and ran.

Southern Dynasties 480 Temples explained the matter again, then slowly pushed it open.

The police nodded, then entered the house, checked for leak points; carbon monoxide poisoning in cities is usually due to gas leaks or natural gas leaks from stoves, while in the countryside it is often from burning coal or charcoal, causing carbon monoxide poisoning, which frequently occurs in winter.

Despite the government's repeated publicity, a few cases occur every year, truly making it hard to guard against.

Therefore, these police officers are generally trained professionals.

As expected, Southern Dynasties 480 Temples waited a while, then the police came out, seeing her so worried, explained: "It's a natural gas leak from the stove, already dealt with, but the gas inside hasn't dispersed yet, so you can't go in for now; also, open flames are strictly forbidden!"

Southern Dynasties 480 Temples nodded; she would absolutely not go in!

She didn't leave, but stood guard at Lin Tingting's door, looking at the livestream viewers: "I pried open the door; later I'll help her change the lock core."

"I'll just stay here, after all it's her home; if anything gets lost, that wouldn't be good."

【Miss, you're awesome; I finally understood why I had to send my brother over—originally you two siblings had arranged everything beforehand, with clear division of labor!】

【I want to give Miss a big thumbs-up!】

Southern Dynasties 480 Temples laughed: "Thank you! Actually we're neighbors; we all live in the same community, it's just a small favor."

She said, then suddenly changed the subject: "I wonder how my brother and they are doing."

The next moment, her phone rang; Southern Dynasties 480 Temples sprang up instantly, exclaiming excitedly: "It's my brother!"

For the first time, Ling Yue experienced this kind of livestream—she was livestreaming a phone screen while broadcasting another phone video, setting this set of dolls aside.

Fortunately, the outcome was good.

Because the rescue was timely, Lin Tingting suffered only moderate carbon monoxide poisoning; after leaving the environment and receiving further medical treatment, she regained consciousness. She can make a full recovery, basically with no aftereffects!

However, to prevent a false recovery, she still needs to be observed in the hospital for at least half a month.

At that moment, in the brother's camera view, Lin Tingting lay on the hospital bed, awake but still somewhat dazed; she only remembered playing on her phone before, mostly fragmented snippets, and had no idea how she had passed out.

Upon hearing she had carbon monoxide poisoning, she was startled and quickly picked up the Nainiumao Dian Dian.

The brother of Southern Dynasties 480 Temples told her: "It was Dian Dian who saved you."

He briefly recounted the events; Lin Tingting, moved, hugged Dian Dian and kissed its little head as if cherishing a treasure: "Dian Dian is awesome!"

When she heard that the livestream had saved her life, she was still puzzled until she heard the livestream's name—this wasn't her favorite livestream, but whenever Ling Yue streamed, she never missed an episode.

But Lin Tingting never imagined that one day she would be pulled back from the brink of death by the streamer.

The only regret is that she didn't witness the whole process; however, if she had seen it all, things might not have turned out this way.

"Are you tired, Dian Dian?" she asked, rubbing the kitten's head; the cat looked at her affectionately, its big, watery eyes round and cute, its round little head nuzzling against its owner.

It let out a series of meows.

Ling Yue heard clearly; Nainiumao Dian Dian was saying: "I'm tired, but as long as I think of my owner, it's not that tiring!"

Lin Tingting's heart softened: "When the owner comes home, shall I open a cat can for you?!"

Upon hearing that, Nainiumao Dian Dian's ears perked up instantly.

In the camera view, Ling Yue looked at her face; the original fate line suddenly vanished, turning from withered into a vibrant lifeline.

Ling Yue lightly grasped it; that withered, vanished lifeline was also Lin Tingting's original fate.

The scene before her eyes suddenly switched.

"Gululu——gululu——"

This is the sound of wheels rolling; several nurses pushed the cart hard: "Hurry, faster—she can't hold on much longer!"

The girl on the cart clenched her eyes shut, limbs twitching; her face and lips were completely purple—this is severe carbon monoxide poisoning.

The operating room red light turned on; under the light, doctors administered emergency resuscitation, but in repeated attempts her breathing grew weaker until it vanished completely.

In the empty house, the black-and-white spotted Nainiumao curled up beside the pillow; when someone finally found it, its body temperature was already icy cold.

Lin Tingting's parents, upon hearing the news, rushed over overnight, but only managed to see her final appearance.

On the way to the mortuary, that purple-streaked face was exposed to view.

"My daughter, Tingting, my Tingting, how did this happen to you?!"

The elderly person collapsed on the ground, wailing despairingly, her heart-rending cries toward heaven: "Why don't you take my wretched old wife's life instead! My Tingting is still so young—you're blind!"

Such a heart-rending wail, as if wanting to vomit out one's blood and tears, even doctors accustomed to life and death couldn't help but turn away, their eye sockets already moist red.

Ling Yue felt heavy-hearted; seeing the two numb elders holding the girl's photo, she withdrew her thoughts.

Outside the window, the sunset was splendid; a vigorous rose branch extended into the window frame.

Lin Tingting looked at her: "Thank you for saving me, and our home's Dian Dian."

She herself knew best what her rented place was like; as a lone female resident, Lin Tingting had always been vigilant, and with a cat she kept, the windows were fitted with wire mesh and the door had a lock—if not for the livestream, she might have died undiscovered.

Lin Tingting lowered her gaze; after recovery, she planned to return to her hometown to accompany her parents—in fact, after years of struggling, she herself had grown weary of drifting.

Ling Yue nodded: "Having survived a great calamity, you will surely reap blessings; from now on you'll enjoy lifelong smoothness and safety."

Her words were simple and sincere; falling into the livestream viewers' ears, they felt assured.

【How wonderful! Miss will surely be especially happy in the future! Dian Dian too!】

Ling Yue also prepared to close the livestream; for a moment, the screen filled with reluctant comments.

【Wuu wuu wuu, although... I still can't bear to part, streamer, can't you keep streaming forever?!】

【I really like this kind of livestream—may good people enjoy lifelong peace! Simple yet the best wish!】

Ling Yue laughed: "I'm going to shut down the livestream; see you all next week. By the way, when I have time I'll put up the link to my online shop; on days I don't stream, you all must have a good time!"

【But my greatest joy is just being able to see the streamer; streamer, hug~】

【Me too, I super like Yueyue!】

【Who is Yueyue?】

【It's the streamer's name, you fake fan—after watching so many episodes, you actually don't even remember the streamer's name!】

【QAQ】

Ling Yue pressed her lips together, trying not to laugh, then said: "I also super like you all, hug~"

Finally, the screen still went dark.

She glanced at the sky; vast swaths of gorgeous sunset clouds rendered a richly colored oil painting.

Ling Yue walked out the door; the previously drunken little animals were still asleep, even the aloof Xuan Cat Queen lay on the wine bottle, beside it was Xunbao Shu Duo Duo perched on the bottle mouth.

In the quiet atmosphere, only Da Lao Hu Junjun remained; it lay on the sofa watching cartoons, sensing Ling Yue's movement, it immediately turned its head to look.

Ling Yue: "Shhh—"

She shook her small floral apron: "Don't speak, today I'll cook, I'll make you a delicious feast!"

Ling Yue also didn't know why they especially liked eating her food; even the specially hired chef's food that the little animals ate, but compared to her cooking, not to brag, Big Black could eat five bowls of rice in one go!

Once, the gluttonous Xunbao Shu Duo Duo almost overate to the point of needing hospital!

By the time she finished cooking, the little animals in the living room had all awakened.

Ling Yue served the last plate of grilled meat patties: "Time to eat!"

Early the next morning, Ling Yue went to Yaqi's villa with a yawn; she wasn't staying up late on purpose, just playing on her phone giving the household cat bugs—no, should be kittens—they've grown quite big now.

Ling Yue showed them toys, cat climbing frames and such; she looked up and it was already twelve…

7:20.

Ling Yue glanced at her wristwatch; it wasn't late, but she hadn't expected that Ren Yaqi had been dragged awake early by the nervous younger cousin; when she saw her, the whole person was listless, like a frost‑hit eggplant.

Ling Yue asked, and Ren Yaqi gave the star‑eyed younger cousin beside her a fierce glance, saying: "It's all because of him!"

She complained irritably: "It doesn't know what madness it's gotten into; before six in the morning, before dawn, it started knocking on the door shouting for me to get up! Good heavens, what sin have I committed!"

The younger cousin Wu Peizhi shyly stole a glance at Ling Yue, his heart pounding; thinking of yesterday's livestream, his heart surged, wishing he could rush over at once to serve her.

It's truly amazing!

Wu Peizhi nervously clenched the hem of his clothes, his words stammering: "Sis, what are you saying? We, we invited Yueyue to come—shouldn't we have gotten up earlier? This is my respect for Yueyue!"

Ren Yaqi gave him a white-eyed look: "Hehe."

"Back at Grandpa's old house, even if the sun baked your butt, you never got up—"

She hadn't finished speaking when the younger cousin pitifully called: "Sis~sis~sis~sis~sis~"

Don't expose his old secrets!

Yesterday he gave his idol a bad first impression; he's already regretted it, and today, after finally mustering courage, he absolutely cannot let the idol misunderstand him again!

Ren Yaqi sighed: "Forget it, I won't say more."

She affectionately linked arms with Ling Yue: "Let's go in for breakfast; it's only just past seven—don't tell me you've already eaten?"

Ling Yue: "... Actually, I haven't."

It was also around seven, her usual wake‑up time, so hearing that Ren Yaqi got up at six, she felt a bit surprised.

Ren Yaqi: "As I knew, I specially arranged for seven‑thirty, to first enjoy a lovely breakfast, fill my stomach, then talk about other things."

Ling Yue nodded, also not being polite, after all they lived in the same community; in fact, she and Ren Yaqi kept in touch quite a lot.

Behind them, the younger cousin watched their retreating figures and reached out: "What about me?"

Ren Yaqi glared at him: "You'd better hurry up and follow, or you'll be left standing there drinking the northwest wind!"

Younger cousin: "QAQ"

After finishing the hearty breakfast, the morning sun had fully risen.

Ling Yue watched as the two cars drove further off; the roadsides shifted from the city's steel jungle to lush green mountains and clear waters—if she didn't trust Ren Yaqi, she'd have thought she was being sold off.

Finally, the car stopped at the end of the mountain road; Wu Peizhi stepped out of the door, amid a haze of dark mist, and waved at them: "Yaqi sis, Yueyue sis, we've arrived!!"
