Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Xi Xi's gaze fixed unblinkingly on the xiaolongbao before her, and the voice of her assistant, Xiao Xia, suddenly burst from the Bluetooth headphones in her ears.

"Xi Xi, is there something wrong with your action camera lens? Try moving it a bit."

"What? The lens is broken?"

The voice in the headphones snapped Xi Xi back to attention, and the expression on her face instantly turned serious.

Her purpose for coming today was to livestream and expose the Lu Family Restaurant's sky-high priced dishes; if the lens had a problem, how could she livestream?

Right now there were over 100,000 viewers watching her livestream in the live stream room; absolutely nothing could go wrong.

Xi Xi hurriedly wiggled the action camera hanging around her neck with her fingertips, slightly adjusted the angle, then swiftly glanced at her mobile phone screen.

"Huh? The lens is fine? I just saw the xiaolongbao looking so beautiful on my phone, I thought you'd accidentally turned on a filter!"

Assistant Xiao Xia's somewhat surprised voice came through the headphones again.

Xi Xi picked up her mobile phone, glanced at the situation in the live stream room on the screen; the bullet screen was refreshing so fast she could barely make out the comment content.

"Holy crap, when the lid was lifted just now, I thought this was a staged short video, turns out it's a livestream? This boss's xiaolongbao really looks gorgeous!"

"Not considering the price of 50 yuan per steamer, I'll say it straight: these xiaolongbao really look extraordinary, the wrapper looks thin and the filling generous, I'd give the presentation a perfect score!"

"I feel like I can smell the fragrance through the screen; Xi Xi, lean in closer, let me experience it more carefully!"

Xi Xi's gaze returned to the steamer basket before her.

The xiaolongbao were still steaming, fragrance drilling into her nose nonstop, making her involuntarily swallow her saliva, her voice unconsciously softening: "These xiaolongbao... do look pretty good."

Originally, following the usual routine, she had still planned to carefully inspect whether the xiaolongbao's wrapper and filling had any "technology and ruthless stuff" added.

But with the delicious food right before her eyes, that alluring fragrance hooked an itch in her heart.

Xi Xi could hardly hold back; she quickly picked up her chopsticks, clamped a xiaolongbao, brought it to her mouth, and took a bite.

"Mmph!"

In one bite, an incomparable deliciousness instantly exploded in her mouth; Xi Xi's eyes abruptly widened, and she subconsciously let out a cry of surprise.

Once the xiaolongbao entered her mouth, the filling mixed with the wheat fragrance of the wrapper, carrying a hint of scallion and ginger spiciness; the taste was simply impossible to extricate oneself from.

The shrimp in the filling were springy and smooth; every chew burst with sweet meat juice, and blended with the soft wrapper, forming a flavor impossible to resist.

"So so delicious!"

Xi Xi couldn't help letting out a muffled exclamation of praise; the xiaolongbao in her mouth had just been swallowed when she impatiently stuffed the other half remaining on her chopsticks into her mouth.

Seeing this scene, the viewers in the live stream room instantly went off-script; comments on the bullet screen scrolled even faster than before.

"??? Xi Xi, what's wrong with you? Were you possessed? You're a debunking streamer, not a food streamer!"

A longtime fan who often sent gifts in Xi Xi's live stream room immediately earnestly urged her to stop, hoping Xi Xi would remember her identity as a debunking streamer.

"Did I enter the wrong live stream room? When I just came in, wasn't the title written as debunking high-priced restaurants? How did it turn into a mukbang scene the moment I entered?"

"Exactly! Where's the promised debunking livestream? This damn thing isn't a food livestream? Watching it made me hungry!"

"Xi Xi, did you forget today's mission? You're here to debunk, not to chow down!"

"Are these xiaolongbao really that good? The way Xi Xi looks doesn't seem like acting; I'm already drooling!"

"Xi Xi, stop eating! Watching you eat makes me hungry too! We came today to expose the high-priced restaurant, right?"

"Right! Xi Xi, hurry up and get back to debunking, okay?"

Xi Xi ate the xiaolongbao before her one mouthful after another; by now she didn't even have the inclination to look at the bullet screen comments on her phone screen.

Assistant Xiao Xia's helpless yet anxious voice also came through the headphones: "Sis, are we still debunking? The live stream room is practically turning into a mukbang livestream; take a look at the bullet screen! Stop eating already!"

But Xi Xi's side seemed not to have heard at all; eyes fixed straight on the remaining xiaolongbao in the steamer basket, her mind held only one thought: how can these xiaolongbao be this delicious?

Could this be the true taste of xiaolongbao?

No, I have to taste carefully; could it be that the xiaolongbao I ate before were the fake ones?

There's a saying: when watching others eat, one often finds it more fragrant.

But that saying is mostly used to describe those food bloggers who, in front of the camera, eat delicious food in a way that makes viewers swallow their saliva along with them.

Yet today, none of the viewers in Xi Xi's live stream room expected that in a debunking livestream, they would profoundly experience the meaning of that saying.

By now the bullet screen in Xi Xi's live stream room had already turned into a complete mess.

Fans who originally came with the mindset of watching a debunking and cursing a black-hearted shop were all now captivated by the xiaolongbao in the lens; the bullet screen was full of wails.

"Family, who understands! I'm getting married next month, I've been dieting for over half a month to fit into my wedding dress; originally I thought watching a debunking livestream would distract me from food's pull, but this streamer just eats xiaolongbao right in front of me, and eats it so fragrantly! I'm suffering! Now I can barely hold back from ordering takeout!"

"I'm still at the company working overtime; my instant noodles just finished soaking, but watching Xi Xi eat xiaolongbao one by one, my instant noodles suddenly aren't fragrant anymore!"

"Suggest the admin just change the title; is this really not a mukbang livestream? Not saying more, I'm ordering takeout first; watching this is making me crave too much!"

Fans' complaints kept flooding the bullet screen; watching the xiaolongbao in the steamer basket decrease one by one, a strong urge to complain rose in the viewers' hearts.

After all, when Xi Xi ate xiaolongbao, the action camera lens hanging around her neck pointed straight at the xiaolongbao before her.

The xiaolongbao were bitten open; the alluring filling inside was clearly visible in the lens.

Watching one xiaolongbao after another eaten up in the lens, the sound of Xi Xi chewing xiaolongbao in her mouth could still be clearly heard in the live stream room.

Under this dual stimulation of sight and hearing, not a single fan in the live stream room wasn't drooling.

Those fans who clearly came to watch Xi Xi debunk had now forgotten the theme of today's livestream.

Even separated by a mobile phone screen, they seemed able to smell the xiaolongbao's alluring fragrance.
