Chapter 6: Crossdressing is in the works~ After this live stream...

This live stream made Ning Buyi a minor celebrity in the gaming community, gaining tens of thousands of followers overnight.

He turned off the live stream, opened the backend to check the data, and found that he had earned quite a bit that night. Even after withdrawing the money into WeChat, he still felt a sense of unreality.

Just yesterday, Ning Buyi was carrying bricks out under the scorching sun, one stack after another. At that time, he only felt that the sunlight was burning through the polyester fiber, and the sweat was sticky and uncomfortable on his neck.

Unexpectedly, he earned more money in a single day than he might earn in a year, not only because of Li Chang, but also because of his face.

The moonlight from outside the window spilled into the small, closed room, illuminating his fair and delicate profile. Even his eyelashes were bathed in moonlight, and his stunning beauty was finally hidden behind his bangs.

After leaving the private room, Ning Buyi went to the front desk to report the day's results to Li Chang, which surprised Li Chang so much that he chewed up sunflower seed shells and swallowed them.

How come he has such good judgment? Is he some kind of genius at judging people?

"You really didn't do anything like calling him 'brother' or 'husband,' did you?" Li Chang scrutinized Ning Buyi from every angle.

He was genuinely afraid that this girl would be tricked into doing something immoral for money.

"Brother, didn't you say you were straight?" Ning Buyi asked him.

Li Chang popped a sunflower seed into his mouth and asked suspiciously, "You really suspect I'm gay?"

What exactly makes him look like that?

Ning Buyi shook his head: "No, brother, it's because you always think I'm gay."

If Li Chang isn't gay, why do I always feel like he is?

The man opposite him had sunflower seed shells hanging from his slightly parted lips, staring at him speechlessly. Did he not know how attractive his face was?

Thankfully, his hair is long enough to cover it up a bit now. If he were to style himself properly, he could easily be a star who only relies on his looks. He's not good at using his brain.

Some people treat him like a son, while others see him as a fantasy object. The internet is so chaotic, who can say for sure? He has to protect this minor.

Li Chang patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Aren't you afraid you'll get scammed out of money?"

Are you treating him like an idiot?

Ning Buyi: "I'm so old, who would I be fooled by?"

Li Chang glanced at him and quickly asked, "Would you do something for a lot of money?"

"Let's do it, as long as it's legal." Ning Buyi said decisively, while Li Chang gave him a look that said, "You decide for yourself."

No, actually he wasn't that fond of money.

However, if you give him money, he'll do anything that he's capable of and that the law allows.

Ning Buyi: ...

Just as he was about to fall silent, Li Chang issued an ultimatum: "No inappropriate chatting with men. If I find out, I'll smash your precious phone."

Haha, actually the only thing you could smash on his whole body is his phone; the rest is him.

Upon hearing this, Ning Buyi patted his chest and assured him, "No, I definitely won't."

Li Chang was relieved after hearing his assurance and sent him back to his room to sleep, while he stayed to guard the shop.

Now this internet cafe is essentially having an extra manager. Before, Li Chang had to stand guard at the front every night, but now Ning Buyi and Li Chang can take turns doing so.

The moonlight was mesmerizing, hanging crescent-shaped before the curtain of light, with stars dotting the sky. Ning Buli rested his hands behind his head, gazing at their images.

A sudden ringing broke the tranquility that belonged only to him and the starry sky. His eyes, which were about to close from sleep, opened instantly, and all sleepiness vanished in an instant. A refurbished machine, that's awesome.

The screen light, comparable to a flashlight, shone brightly for a long time. Ning Buyi could only pick up the phone. As soon as he opened it, an ad popped up. He wanted to close the ad, but he accidentally clicked on it. He asked if he wanted to watch it.

After waiting for five or six minutes, Ning Buyi finally clicked on the source of the sound. It was a message from Jingjing.

Jingjing: Honey, I'll add you to our game streamer group.

Jingjing: I would like to invite you to join the group chat.

Ning Buyi glanced at it, wondering what the point of joining the group would be. He remembered Li Chang's words, so he didn't want to join if it was useless.

Ning Buyi: What's the use?

Jingjing: ? I don't understand.

Ning Buyi still chose to send a voice message, since typing a complete sentence on this crappy phone keyboard would be missing seven or eight characters.

Ning Buyi: What's the use?

Jingjing: They often organize to shoot videos together and share traffic. The more traffic they have, the more money they make.

The boy locked onto the keyword: money, and the next second, a line of welcome messages appeared in the group chat.

Jingjing: Come and welcome my baby @Ning Buyi.

Chestnut: Welcome newcomer~

Guoguo: Welcome, Jianjian~ I've been secretly watching your live stream~

Kenshin: Welcome.

Ninth Brother: Welcome.

...

There are so many people.

The group is full of well-known streamers. The youngest one is Ning Buyi. Most of them have hundreds of thousands or even millions of fans, but he only has tens of thousands.

Ning Buyi: Thank you.

After that, he lurked in the group and watched them chat. What Ning Buyi didn't know was that this small group had already discussed him before they pulled him in.

Chestnut: Wow, I've found a new streamer! So cute and adorable!

Chestnut: [Share Link].

Guoguo: I saw it, I saw it! I'm already a fan of Jianjian! He's so cute!

Nianqing: Isn't the top fan the boss? Does the boss like this kind of person?

Chestnut, Fruit, and Crystal: !

Zhu Yanhe used to comment on live streams, randomly entering one, hitting the streamer's pain points, sending a gift, and leaving. But today, he actually stayed in this new streamer's live stream the whole time, and even became the number one gifter.

Envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Jingjing: I didn't even notice, I was just playing with Jianjian. But he's really cute, and also pretty bad at it...

Guoguo: Thanks for the invitation. My alt account is already ranked third on the leaderboard, hehe. Can I let him in? Can I? Can I?

Chestnut: I support it, I support it. The baby looks very kind.

The three girls in the group had all praised Ning Buyi highly and begged Jingjing to add him to the group.

But the other male anchors seemed to have caught a whiff of competition, and some openly expressed their dislike for them.

Ninth Brother: He's a sissy. It seems like anyone can stream games these days.

Nianqing: I'm not against it, but our group has at least double-digit numbers of fans, right?

In the end, it was only after Jingjing and the others insisted on leaving the group and playing with the boys on their own that Ning Buyi was allowed to join.

They look down on Ning Buyi, after all, they still need to rely on their skills and creative ideas to gain attention, and many of them have worked hard for a long time before they have any success.

Ke Ning Buyi has only been streaming for one day and doesn't even know how to play games, yet he can do things that others might not be able to do in a year just based on his looks.

And the seeds of jealousy will quietly take root and sprout when they touch polluted soil.

However, no one paid attention to them. After this incident, Jingjing turned around and created a small group chat, which only contained a few girls and Ning Buyi.

Jingjing: Jianjian, you can ask us any questions you have about your live stream.

Guoguo: Yes, I'm your little fan!

Ning Buyi: How can one earn money?

Guoguo and Lizi were stunned for a moment when they saw this sentence. Where did this ancient scholar come from? Isn't this the 21st century?

Fortunately, Jingjing explained to them in time that it was actually Ning Buyi's phone that was too bad, which made them feel even more sorry for him.

Chestnut: I think your face is good enough for women's clothing; you could make a fortune selling bags.

Ning Buyi: But I am straightforward.

Guoguo: Baby, you've poke me! Even I want to see you in cute women's clothes, and you have a lot of female fans.

Ning Buyi: Really?

Chestnut: Indeed, cross-dressing live streams are quite popular; even professional gamers have dressed as women.

These words did indeed reassure Ning Buyi. He had always thought that men dressing as women was meant to attract men, but it seems he was still short-sighted.

Jingjing: Then what else is there to say? Give me your address and I'll send you two sets.

Guoguo: I have one too.

Chestnut: Me too.

Actually, they wanted to dress up their daughters properly, and the clothes they prepared had their own personal reasons. Who wouldn't want to see an adorable "little sister"?

Ning Buyi was completely taken care of. He replied "okay" and tossed his phone aside. Today felt unreal; he now had money and friends.

These are things he hadn't dared to imagine these days.

The boy tucked the blanket in, a smile playing on his lips, and closed his eyes. Sleepiness enveloped him as he drifted off to sleep into the night.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhu Yanhe looked at the information his assistant had sent overnight and smiled. This little dog has quite a few secrets.

In the following days, Ning Buyi continued to stream, but his popularity gradually declined. Zhu Yanhe would occasionally tease him in the live stream, and then Ning Buyi would dare not speak out against him. He would then send a gift to see Ning Buyi turn his anger into joy. It was so pleasant to have such a stream during work hours. He had completely taken Ning Buyi as his little pet.

Ning Buyi himself realized that his live stream was mostly just fans entertaining themselves, with far fewer casual viewers than on the first day, which meant no new money coming in!

Although he has been doing live streams with Jingjing and the others these past few days, he is starting to feel a sense of loss. Desire is a terrible thing.

The iconic loud ringtone in his pocket sounded, and Ning Buyi took out his phone to check. It was a delivery text message—a timely reminder when he was feeling sleepy.

Zhu Yanhe, who had just finished signing a contract and was resting for a while in the office, looked at Ning Buyi and saw that he was still using that old, beat-up phone. He was speechless and typed a few words.

Is this phone a family heirloom?

Ning Buyi looked up and replied, "No, I wouldn't bear to transfer my precious phone."

My precious phone...

Zhu Yanhe: "Are you referring to that brick on your keyboard that you can't even type out all the characters with, and whose screen has cracks denser than the lines on your palm?"

Ning Buyi frowned again after reading these words: "You can't talk about my precious phone."

Since the start of the live stream, Zhu Yanhe has consistently held the top spot on Ning Buyi's leaderboard, and Ning Buyi has begun to feel a strange sense of arrogance towards him.

The calendar has already marked the beginning of autumn, but the temperature shows no signs of dropping. It's still the kind of day where you'd die without air conditioning.

After lunch, Ning Buyi and Li Chang rode Li Chang's electric scooter to pick up the package.

There were three huge boxes at the courier station, each as tall as a man when pushed. He could only carry them back one by one, which showed how much the three women cared for him.

After he finished moving the last box, he was soaked in sweat, his hair sticky with sweat and hanging down his forehead. Exhausted, he collapsed onto the box like a turtle.

Li Chang had been squatting in front of the two boxes for a long time. When he saw its owner finally return, he asked, "What's this?"
