Chapter 27 A fleeting glimpse, utterly captivated.

Lin Xingche casually raised his eyes, his gaze falling on the large screen in the lounge.

On the screen

Su Jiaojiao was standing up, preparing to dance a group dance with her other apprentices.

The music started, a fast-paced pop song. Her movements were fluid and full of tension. Her long, cherry-pink hair flew with her dance steps, her waist was so slender it seemed it could break at any moment, her long legs had beautiful lines, and every movement was perfectly precise.

Her eyes shone with confidence, radiating beauty.

That moment

Lin Xingche's steps came to a complete stop.

The world seemed to have been muted before his eyes, and all the surrounding noise disappeared.

His gaze was fixed on the petite figure on the screen, his amber eyes instantly filled with her image, his clear, pure pupils reflecting only her likeness.

Her agility when dancing, her sweetness when singing, and her gentle charm when interacting with others.

Like a blinding ray of light, it struck his heart unexpectedly, leaving a deep mark on it.

He forgot the family affairs he had just finished dealing with, and he forgot the purpose of his coming in.

They even forgot to breathe.

His fingertips clenched unconsciously, his knuckles turning slightly white.

My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of my chest.

"Xingche? What's wrong?"

The streamer next to him, noticing that he hadn't reacted for a while, nudged him in confusion.

Lin Xingche didn't respond, his eyes still glued to the screen. It wasn't until Su Jiaojiao finished her dance, slightly out of breath, and gave the camera a sweet smile that he snapped out of his daze. A faint blush instantly spread across his cheeks, and his ears burned.

"Her...her name is Su Jiaojiao?"

His voice trembled slightly, with a faint upward inflection at the end, carrying the soft, youthful quality characteristic of a boy.

"That's right! He just joined, and he's Master Yueyue's star pupil. He's really amazing!"

The anchor nodded

"When she sang that song a cappella just now, the number of viewers in the live stream surged to over 1 million, and the gifts went crazy!"

Lin Xingche's heart pounded faster and faster. He strode to the screen and leaned closer to look at it carefully.

On the screen, Su Jiaojiao was chatting with fans. Her eyes were captivating, her smile sweet, and her fingertips rosy. Every detail was so perfect that he couldn't take his eyes off her.

Her heavenly voice as she sang kept replaying in his mind.

The stunning appearance while dancing

An unprecedented surge of emotion welled up within me, rapidly spreading to every part of my body.

He liked her; it was love at first sight.

The thought appeared in his mind with perfect clarity.

It can never be shaken off

At that moment, Su Yue's voice rang out in the live stream.

Looking at Su Jiaojiao's outstanding performance, she felt gratified and said to the camera:

"Jiaojiao has just joined the team and is performing exceptionally well."

Come on, Jiaojiao, connect your account to the live stream, and let your mentor's fans pay more attention to our talented little apprentice.

Su Jiaojiao smiled and nodded, then immediately began operating the machine.

Connect with Su Yue via live stream using your own account.

Instantly, millions of fans from Su Yue's live stream flooded into Su Jiaojiao's live stream, causing her fan count to surge again, and the chat was flooded with comments.

"Master Yueyue's recommendation was definitely right! Jiaojiao is so outstanding!"

"Followed! From now on, I'm a die-hard fan of Jiaojiao!"

"With such good looks and talent, she has a bright future ahead of her!"

Tuanzi screamed in Su Jiaojiao's mind: "Host! Host!"

Our follower count has surpassed 18 million! Our "love points" have increased by another 3 million, reaching a total of 54 million! That's amazing!

Just as Su Jiaojiao was about to thank Su Yue, a striking gift effect suddenly popped up in the live stream—100 rockets neatly arranged, instantly dominating the entire screen.

The gift giver was Lu Jinyuan.

Following closely behind, Jiang Yi's gift also went viral, with 50 carnival gifts flooding social media.

The live stream chat instantly went wild.

Fans flooded the screen with comments like "The boss is so generous!" and "President Lu and President Jiang are so doting!"

Lin Xingche in the lounge

Seeing these two gift comments, a hint of displeasure flashed in his amber eyes. He took out his phone and entered Su Jiaojiao's live stream without hesitation. His fingers flew across the gift buttons, instantly sending out 100 spaceships with effects even more dazzling than Lu Jinyuan's and Jiang Yi's.

His message carried the bluntness and possessiveness of a young man:

"Sister's voice and dancing are absolutely amazing! Xingche also wants to be her exclusive fan!"

The moment this comment was posted, the live stream chat exploded.

"Holy crap! It's Xing Che! He actually gave Jiao Jiao a gift?"

"Didn't Xingche never give gifts to female streamers or form couples with them? What happened?"

"'Sister'?! Did I hear that right?"

Xingche actually called Jiaojiao "sister"! I'm totally shipping them!

"The Xingjiao couple is locked in!"

The hashtag “Xingjiao CP” instantly became a trending topic on the platform.

Su Jiaojiao's affection value surged again, the numbers on the system panel jumping constantly, and soon broke through 56 million.

The little dumpling excitedly rolled around in Su Jiaojiao's mind:

"Host, host! Another big shot has arrived!"

It's Lin Xingche, the top idol from the boy band! He's fallen for you at first sight! His affection level is rising so fast, you should win him over!

Su Jiaojiao smiled helplessly and said to the camera:

"Thank you so much for the gifts, Brother Lu, Brother Jiang, and Brother Xingche. It's too much trouble."

She emphasized the word "younger brother".

When Lin Xingche saw this, she wasn't angry at all; instead, her smile became even sweeter.

Reply in the comments:

"Sister, just call me Xingche, you don't need to call me little brother~"

His tone was slightly coquettish, which melted the hearts of the fans in the live stream.

And at this moment, in some corner of the city

Gu Yanchen was sitting in front of the computer, watching Su Jiaojiao's live stream.

He happened to hear Su Jiaojiao's voice in Su Yue's live stream today and was immediately attracted by her sweet and soft voice. When he saw her appearance, he fell in love at first sight. Her gentle and refined face was adorned with a fascinated smile, and her blue eyes were filled with obsessive love.

He watched the three men in the live stream sending gifts and interacting, his fingers lightly tapping the table, a shadowy glint in his eyes. He took out his phone and dialed a number:

Please make arrangements for me tomorrow.

I want to go backstage at Yuejia Group's live stream as a designer and say I want to design a unique look for Su Jiaojiao.

…

The interaction between Su Jiaojiao and Lin Xingche kept the live stream extremely popular.

The "Xingjiao CP" (a popular pairing of two celebrities) has garnered increasing attention and their fan base has soared, quickly surpassing 20 million. Her beauty rating has also risen from 8.4 to 8.5 thanks to the increased love for her; her skin has become smoother and more delicate, and the curve of her eyes has become even more alluring.

The other streamers in the team watched as Su Jiaojiao's popularity skyrocketed.

Each had their own thoughts

Manny, a veteran streamer in the group's female broadcasting team, has a pure and innocent appearance and is very popular with fans. She has always been a core member of the team.

But ever since Su Jiaojiao joined, her brilliance has been completely overshadowed.

The number of followers not only didn't increase, but actually decreased significantly.

She watched the gifts and comments in Su Jiaojiao's live stream.

So jealous my eyes turned red

She felt that Su Jiaojiao was there to steal her position. Why should a newcomer have so many fans and be favored by big shots?

Manny walked outside the live-streaming booth and deliberately said loudly:

"Some people are just lucky; they get so many big shots supporting them as soon as they join the team. I wonder if they used some underhanded methods."

Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Su Jiaojiao and the anchor next to her to hear.

Seeing this, Yating, who was standing nearby, immediately chimed in:

"Yeah, Sister Manny, you're clearly the top star of the women's team."

She's only doing this because of her master's connections and the backing of a few powerful figures.

"Maybe those gifts were all bought with my own money."

Ya-ting is also a snob.

Seeing Su Jiaojiao's popularity, he had long been jealous.

She's been trying to ride on Su Jiaojiao's coattails, but Su Jiaojiao has ignored her several times. Now she's using Manny's words to smear her.
