Chapter 6: Preparations Before the Broadcast

The next day was a bright and sunny day.

An Jin put on her newly bought dress, her face bare, and followed Yan Qing to the scenic area on the outskirts of the city.

Holding an umbrella, she squinted in the sun as Yan Qing took her picture, feeling like a complete idiot.

An Jin, who was photographed, was covered in sweat, and Yan Qing, who took the photos, was also quite sunburned.

Two people, sweltering in the heat, squeezed into a small, air-conditioned shop to choose drinks.

An Jin picked up a bottle of iced cola and pressed it against her cheek to cool it down. While basking in the cool air, she complained to Yan Qing, "I should have chosen a cloudy day to come out."

Yan Qing showed An Jin the photos on the camera and reassured her, "Photos look better on a sunny day."

An Jin frowned as she glanced at the photo, and seeing that she indeed looked exceptionally beautiful with her red lips and white teeth, she immediately changed her expression and said, "Your photography skills are really good."

Yan Qing, who was being praised, secretly curled the corners of her mouth.

An Jin and Yan Qing enjoyed the air conditioning for half an hour until the shop owner looked at them with a sneer, at which point they finally headed home.

Yan Qing glanced regretfully at the mountaintop; the sun was exceptionally strong today. If only it weren't so hot.

He sighed inwardly.

A friend told me that there is a temple on the top of the mountain in the suburbs of Lotus Pond that is very effective for praying for marriage.

Back home, An Jin, with her delicate skin, frantically applied skincare products to her body. Looking at her skin, which had turned red from being exposed to the sun, she worriedly patted the products onto her body.

Yan Qing listened as she slapped lotion all over her body without holding back, and frowned as she asked, "Do you need me to help you?"

An Jin shook her head: "No, I'm ticklish."

I was afraid in my past life, and I'm even more afraid in this life.

Once Yan Qing made physical contact with him, he felt that the skin on that spot was burning hot, which felt very strange.

Yan Qing said regretfully, "If it's serious, I'll take you to the hospital this afternoon."

An Jin said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? There's no need to go to the hospital."

As she spoke, she stood up after applying her skincare products and urged Yanqing to retrieve the pictures from the camera so she could see them.

To be honest, many times An Jin felt that Yan Qing was like a toad, the kind that jumps around when you poke it.

The negatives were beautiful. An Jin didn't wear makeup, and her bare face, illuminated by the sun, exuded a vibrant beauty.

Yan Qing stared at the photo for a long time before asking An Jin, "Do you want me to Photoshop it for you?"

An Jin looked at Yan Qing in surprise, not expecting that Yan Qing could use Photoshop. She quickly shook her head and said no, "It looks great, no need to edit it, just use it as is."

Yan Qing agreed and sent the photos to An Jin.

An Jin immediately changed her WeChat profile picture and Tadpole Video profile picture to the photo that Yan Qing had just sent her.

She looked at the photo with a smug look on her face, thinking: "I'm so beautiful, I'm sure I can make all the men on the internet go crazy for me."

The two of them went out for more than just taking pictures.

Yan Qing also filmed a lot of short video footage. Once it's edited, she can send it to An Jin so that An Jin can post it directly on Kedou Video.

An Jin glanced gratefully at Yan Qing, who was doing his best, and felt that she had one more responsibility on her shoulders.

As night fell, An Jin lay in bed, pondering how to film videos to successfully help Yan Qing attract more followers now that she had become famous.

After all, although An Jin has a lot of shortcomings, she is extremely grateful and repays kindness.

The next morning, An Jin got out of bed, washed an apple, and sat in front of the computer to start thinking about starting a live stream.

She decided to become a game streamer, but there are many kinds of game streamers.

There are so many types: console, online, mobile, and more.

Forget about the main unit.

An Jin is penniless now and relies on Yan Qing for food and drink, so she has no money to buy console games.

That means it can only be computer games and mobile games.

What games are good for starting an account? An Jin thought for a moment and decided that battle royale games and MOBA games would be the best choices.

Both types of games are highly entertaining, whether streamed by skilled professionals or those for entertainment purposes.

An Jin chose League of Legends, the world's most popular MOBA game, as the first stop in her live streaming career.

The game downloaded quickly. An Jin registered an account and played the game in one go. After confirming that the game was similar to the ones she had played in her previous life, she felt relieved.

She thought to herself, "In my past life, I could easily reach the Diamond rank in any game. This is just a reskinned game with a different background and equipment names. I can definitely handle it easily."

So instead of playing the game in depth, he went and registered a live streaming account and started a live streaming channel.

In the afternoon, after Yan Qing finished inspecting the hostel's work and brought the groceries home, An Jin had already spent the afternoon setting up her live-streaming room.

She heard Yan Qing open the door and happily greeted him: "You're back!"

Yan Qing: "So? What did you do at home today?"

An Jin started rambling on, "I've decided what game I want to stream..."

After saying that, An Jin led Yan Qing to the study and showed Yan Qing the backstage of her live broadcast room.

Yan Qingqing's sharp eyes swept across the computer screen as she uttered the stage name An Jin had given her: "An'an can't sleep."

When An Jin heard Yan Qing read out her online name, she felt as embarrassed as if she were being publicly humiliated by her friend.

She said awkwardly, "Don't read it out loud."

Yan Qing looked at An Jin with particularly gentle eyes and asked her, "Can't you sleep at night? Is the bed uncomfortable?"

An Jin awkwardly gripped the ground with her toes: "No, that's the name I chose."

He reached out and pulled Yan Qing to go out and cook, trying to change the subject: "Alright, alright, I've shown you everything, go and cook."

Yan Qing obediently followed An Jin out, and the two talked as they went to the kitchen.

Yan Qing asked An Jin, "Are you ready for the live stream?"

An Jin nodded and said, "I'm ready, I'm ready."

She rolled her eyes and said to Yan Qing, "Transfer me a few hundred yuan later so I can start streaming the video."

Yan Qing was always easy to talk to in front of An Jin. As soon as An Jin made a request, Yan Qing would put his phone in An Jin's hand.

Yan Qing: "You can transfer as much as you want."

An Jin opened Yan Qing's phone: "What's the password?"

Yan Qing: "It's your birthday."

An Jin looked up: "Huh?"

She sensed something was wrong. After transferring the money, she frowned and asked, "Why did you use my birthday as your password?"

Yan Qing paused briefly while picking vegetables. With his back to An Jin, he said in a very calm tone, "Because your birthday is easy to remember."

An Jin's birthday is on New Year's Day, January 1st.

An ordinary girl would naturally notice something amiss in Yan Qing's words and the ambiguity of him using An Jin's birthday as the transfer password.

But An Jin is not an ordinary girl.

Yan Qing said it casually, and An Jin believed it without thinking.

After dinner, the two went to the study together.

An Jin nervously uploaded a short video she filmed in the lotus pond, having purchased a data exposure package worth 300 yuan.

She swallowed hard, looked at Yan Qing who insisted on staying in the study, and said, "When I'm doing a live stream later, you're not allowed to make a sound, okay?"

Yan Qing smiled and nodded, his handsome face appearing somewhat somber, perhaps because he was backlit.

An Jin took a deep breath, opened the game client, and started her first live stream.
