Chapter 304 Sorry, I have a boyfriend
While the audience in the live stream was excited, not everyone was blinded by their excitement.
Some observant people were able to extract remarkable information from just a few brief exchanges between the two.
[Just because she calls Rin-shin "Fourth Brother"? Holy crap, is this Rin-shin's sister? Wasn't Rin-shin supposed to be an orphan? Oh wait, I remember this actress was also an orphan. Were they from the same orphanage?]
[Yes, yes, that's possible! They just said they hadn't seen each other in a long time. I remember there was a media report that Rin had been in an orphanage before being adopted by a kind couple. Unfortunately, their good fortune didn't last long; Rin's adoptive parents passed away one after another due to illness, leaving Rin alone at home. They were struggling to get enough to eat and were heavily in debt, which is why they had to drop out of school and start streaming games to pay off their debts!]
So, they're siblings who relied on each other in an orphanage? I'm so jealous! Can anyone tell me which orphanage they were in? I also want a brother who gives me a trophy as soon as we meet (crying) (crying)
[Tsk, another example of "someone else's older brother." The country definitely owes me an older brother; when are they going to send him one?!]
Of course, some people were dissatisfied with Jiang Lin giving the trophy to Ye Wanxi and started making sarcastic remarks in the comments.
[Rin is powerful, but isn't it a bit inappropriate to so openly hand over the championship trophy to a nobody like that?]
[She's not some nobody; she's a spokesperson chosen by her sugar daddy! If this didn't have a script, I'd rip my head off and use it as a football.]
How ironic! The championship team fought tooth and nail to win the trophy, only to have it used to please a woman. The players must be heartbroken.
These people were subtly mocking Jiang Lin for abusing his power for personal gain and implying that Ye Wanxi had a powerful backer and was climbing the social ladder by stepping on those who were truly capable.
It wasn't just Ye Wanxi's fans who found it jarring; Jiang Lin's fans also found it very uncomfortable.
[The sour grapes upstairs are making such a fuss, don't be so disgusting. Anyone who truly loves the champion team and watched the award ceremony video at midnight knows that this trophy was a gift from all the members of the champion team to Rin. It's a gift, and they can do whatever they want with it. They don't need to explain themselves to you idiots.]
[Exactly! They even said the champion team members were heartbroken. That's hilarious! Anyone with eyes could see how happy everyone else was when Rin presented the trophy.]
Alas, some people are truly pitiful; they go blind at such a young age.
The live stream was a complete mess, but it was obvious to everyone that Jiang Lin had a really good relationship with the members of the champion team.
They showed no dissatisfaction when the gifts were given; on the contrary, they seemed to be watching the show with great interest.
"Brother Lin, is this the person you rushed back to see? Aren't you going to introduce him?"
A nonchalant voice came from behind Jiang Lin. Ye Wanxi looked up and saw the young, immature-looking boy behind her fourth senior brother. He looked no older than eighteen.
Jiang Lin glanced at him: "Ye Wanxi, my sister."
"A little sister?" the boy exclaimed in surprise. "How come I didn't know you had a little sister, Brother Lin?"
Jiang Lin glared at him, and the boy hissed, but he was not intimidated at all.
His gaze darted back and forth between the two of them several times, and he said mischievously, "Is she really a girl? If that's the case, does that mean we single guys have a chance? Miss, what do you think of me? Don't let my young age fool you, I'm actually quite manly."
Ye Wanxi glanced at the boy fiddling with his biceps and almost burst out laughing.
"Uh, sorry, I have a boyfriend."
"You have a boyfriend?" the boy exclaimed in surprise, and the other team members also looked surprised.
Like the teenagers, they thought that Jiang Lin calling Ye Wanxi his younger sister was just a euphemism or a way of saying that he hadn't caught up with her yet.
I can't believe she has a boyfriend...
Almost everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Lin, wanting to see how he would react.
These team members have been competing abroad these days, and they're exhausted every day. They simply haven't had time to bypass the Great Firewall to see what's happening back home.
Jiang Lin, however, was different. He had already seen the post where his junior sister announced her relationship and even guessed the identity of the person she was professing her love to.
"It was him?"
"Um."
"knew."
The onlookers: "???" Wait, who is this "he"? What do you know? What are you all talking about? This is driving me crazy!
Before the others could figure it out, the host, who had been completely ignored, finally remembered his duty and interjected, sweating profusely, "Um, Ms. Ye, Lin Shen, we're still live streaming, and there are still so many people here..."
"Where has it progressed to?"
The host was taken aback for a moment before realizing that Jiang Lin was asking about the current stage of their process.
"We were just about to ask Ms. Ye and Ms. Tan to each draw four lucky audience members to play a match together."
Miss Tan? Only then did Ye Wanxi notice that a female artist who had recently clashed with her in the dressing room was standing not far away.
Tan Xiehuan was furious. At first, she was quite happy when she saw Jiang Lin and the others barging in, thinking that they were there to steal Ye Wanxi's thunder.
Unexpectedly, Ye Wanxi's limelight wasn't stolen; instead, these people stole everyone's attention.
As a result, she, who came out first, was ignored, and for a long time, not a single camera turned to her!
After hearing the host's words, Jiang Lin turned to look at the team members: "Do you want to play?"
The group exchanged glances, quickly understanding Jiang Lin's meaning: "Let's play, let's play!"
Jiang Lin nodded in satisfaction: "How about replacing the lucky draw segment with me and my teammates taking the stage?"
The host suddenly widened his eyes, staring at Jiang Lin in disbelief.
He listened to the organizers' excited shouts through his in-ear monitor and swallowed hard: "This is probably against the rules."
Jiang Lin was silent for a moment, then said only, "You can ask them."
The host reacted quickly, grabbing the microphone and shouting to the audience, "Do you want to come up and fight yourselves, or do you want to watch Rin and the others fight?"
The viewers in the live stream and below were stunned for a few seconds, then erupted in even louder cheers.
"Rin-shin! Rin-shin! Rin-shin!"
"Little Jie, Little Jie, Little Jie!"
"Ah Dong, Ah Dong, Ah Dong!"
"..."
The crowd below began chanting the names of Jiang Lin and several members of the champion team, their voices so loud they seemed to lift the roof off the venue.
Upon hearing this, the host immediately thought, "Okay, no need to ask anymore, it's definitely the latter. If it were him, he would definitely choose this one too!"
