Chapter 38 Live Streaming Pregnancy: Husband Makes His C-Position Debut
Ye Chuyi turned to look at him, but Wei Sibei's gaze was fixed straight ahead, selectively ignoring her gaze from the corner of his eye.
Ye Chuyi carefully reviewed the trolls' rhetoric and had the bureau quickly investigate the IP addresses behind them. 70% of them came from the same place and pointed to the same building.
His ear was pulled again, and Wei Sibei gasped repeatedly, "Ouch—it hurts!"
Ye Chuyi asked sternly, "Did you do it?"
Wei Sibei stuffed potato chips into his mouth, one cheek puffing out, without saying a word.
"You won't talk, huh? Fine!" She stood up to leave, but the leg that Wei Sibei was using to pin her down was suddenly thrown off and slammed against the corner of the table.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Wei Sibei finally spoke, squeezing the vacuum bag so hard it made a sharp popping sound.
Ye Chuyi remained standing, a waiting gaze fixed on him.
Wei Sibei tore open another bag with a clatter, cleared his throat, and said, "This does seem like something I would do."
“What if I said,” Ye Chuyi snatched the potato chips from his hand, “that Li Zihan is a signed artist under my brother’s company?”
Wei Sibei's lower eyelids twitched slightly, his eyebrows arched asymmetrically, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. A blush of shame welled up from his jaw to his neck, and even his voice changed: "Ah? Oh dear, look at this, it's like the flood washed away the Dragon King's temple..."
He rubbed his hands together, then curled his knuckles defensively: "Why didn't you say so sooner?"
"I only found out yesterday." Ye Chuyi looked at him, suppressing a laugh. "My brother just loves to joke. It's no wonder you mistook him for someone else that day. He was wearing a hat and mask, pretending to be a kidnapper, but I recognized him at a glance. We hadn't even exchanged a few words when you showed up."
Wei Sibei quickly drank several large gulps of water, and Ye Chuyi continued, "He just decided to start a talent agency on a whim, and unexpectedly, Li Zihan took the initiative to contact him and wanted to sign him. The contract hasn't even been in effect for two months yet. Because of this, the former company that made Li Zihan famous was furious. The haters on the day of the endorsement promotion were bought by the former company."
Wei Sibei immediately understood; this was the same tactic he was using. To win over Ye Chuyi, he first had to win over her brother. Using his own agency contract to pledge allegiance—Li Zihan was quite daring.
Ye Chuyi sat casually on the sofa, propping her elbows on the backrest and resting her cheeks on her hands: "Knowing that the endorsement was for your brand, I thought my brother had already discussed it with you. Who would have thought that you two didn't even know each other?"
However, the key point is not difficult to understand. Besides Wei Sibei, there is another person in the Wei family.
Li Zihan probably got in through Wei Bowen's connections. The two used to be at odds, but as the old saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and Wei Bowen had met Ye Chucheng.
Wei Sibei was getting restless: "Well, should I hire another wave of online trolls to praise him, or pay to get him trending on social media? I don't really know anything about this..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Chuyi's finger accidentally swiped across the screen and scrolled to another live stream.
In the video, a vibrant young man is playing the guitar and singing folk songs, while the comments section is filled with messages.
Wei Sibei knew this song; Ye Chuyi often listened to it at home. This person's voice was somewhat similar to the original singer's. There was also another voice, not shown on camera, that perfectly complemented the lower harmonies, a truly delightful surprise. The narrator's control of rhythm and breath was also excellent, conveying emotions with a gentle, flowing delivery.
In particular, his warm and mellow voice, his relaxed and laid-back narrative style, and his unique nostalgic filter and healing quality can instantly pull people into a faded art film scene.
Wei Sibei was about to praise someone when he glanced at the person playing the guitar—wasn't that He Muchen?
Why is he also live streaming? And he's even trying to seduce Ye Chuyi here, with gifts from viewers popping up on the screen every now and then.
Upon seeing his sudden change in expression, Ye Chuyi quickly withdrew.
Wei Sibei was too exhausted to say anything more. Suddenly, he bent over, squeezed his stomach, and let out a low shout.
He was at a loss for words to comfort her, overwhelmed with pain and helplessness. He looked at her hopelessly, seeing that she remained unmoved, her gaze deep and unfathomable.
The sofa cushions were soaked with sweat, and Wei Sibei shivered, "I'm not lying to you this time, it really hurts."
"Where does it hurt? How does it hurt? Did your daughter kick you again?" Ye Chuyi asked calmly.
"No, it hurts inside, it's a cramping pain, coming in waves." Wei Sibei spread his legs wider, pressing his belly hard between his legs, accompanied by suppressed panting. "I think I'm about to give birth."
Seeing that Ye Chuyi didn't move, he composed himself and said seriously, "I swear, I absolutely didn't say it hurt to distract you because I saw Li Zihan and He Muchen earlier. It really hurts, ouch, it hurts..."
Ye Chuyi picked up her phone to make a call, but Wei Sibei saw the two big characters 'Jiejian' on the screen and trembled even more violently: "Don't—call her."
"Why? She was the one who came to see you last time, or should we go directly to the hospital?" The dial button hadn't been pressed yet.
Wei Sibei shook his head violently: "Even if it hurts to death, I will never let a female doctor deliver my baby. I, I..." A flush started to spread from the base of his neck to his cheeks.
Ye Chuyi glanced at it quickly and immediately understood: "Hey, you're just overthinking it. Who cares about men or women? In front of a doctor, they're all just pork."
"You!" Perhaps it was just his imagination, but his stomach churned even more. "You called me a pig, and you even said your daughter is a pig!"
"This isn't what I said, it's what Sister Jianjie said." Ye Chuyi stopped indulging him and dialed Jianjie's number.
Wei Sibei was too exhausted to respond to her, and hummed softly, "Anyway, I only want a male doctor."
As the beeping sound continued, Ye Chuyi said, "Why only male doctors? Why the best doctors? Sister Jianjie is the best obstetrician in the country."
Wei Sibei suddenly tilted his head back, released his stomach with both hands, gripped the edge of the sofa tightly, and let out a long groan: "Ugh—I'm in so much pain, can't you just go along with me this once? Jianjie was really rough. That night, she pushed and pressed my stomach left and right, just to get back at me for kicking her glasses."
"Sister Jianjie is not that kind of person."
Wei Sibei, completely exhausted, leaned back on the sofa: "I'm begging you, find me a doctor with gentle hands to deliver the baby, uh..."
Fortunately, Jian Jie wasn't in surgery at the moment, and the call connected quickly. Ye Chuyi's tone was somewhat anxious and distressed. After hearing the situation explained on the other end, she put the phone to Wei Sibei's ear.
"W-what? You ate too fast?" Wei Sibei's face fell.
Ye Chuyi hung up the phone and helped him up from the sofa: "Did you hear that? You might need to go to the bathroom now."
Wei Sibei was pushed forward by her: "No, why do you listen to her so much? I'm not only in pain, I'm also feeling nauseous."
"If you eat too much and your stomach can't hold it all, you'll feel nauseous all the time." Ye Chuyi pushed him to the toilet and closed the door behind her.
Ye Chuyi had been feeling unwell in her stomach for two days, and with the bureau busy, she instructed Xiao Ji and Lao Si to keep a close eye on him and notify her immediately of any issues.
Wei Sibei was still unconvinced. What was so great about that pretty boy? He was just doing a live stream, and tens of thousands of people were watching.
Ye Chuyi praised him, saying that a pregnant man is more pleasing to the eye, with a full belly, smooth lines, and a beautiful curve.
If he were to start a live stream, wouldn't his little fan Kuku be showering him with gifts?
When he has more fans, Ye Chuyi will definitely be jealous.
She needs to experience what it's like to have someone steal from her.
Wei Sibei was very efficient and quickly instructed Xiao Ji and Lao Si to set up the live broadcast at the boxing gym.
Everything must be the most expensive and the most professional.
Professional camera + CCU + switcher + synchronization system, high-quality condenser microphone with professional sound card, main light, fill light, contour light, background light, everything is ready.
Still in the private room on the second floor, overlooking the entire boxing ring, the ball rolled under the table.
As soon as the camera was turned on, Wei Sibei stared at the androgynous figure on the screen for a long time. The figure was fair-skinned, had bright red lips, and soft features.
"Whose live stream is this? Where am I?"
The fourth brother adjusted the equipment and said, "Boss, so this is you."
Wei Sibei kicked him: "You call this vixen inside 'boss'? Did you pour bleach on my face? What is this?!"
He opened his phone to take a selfie, glanced at it, and said, "I don't look like this at all, what the heck?"
Xiao Ji explained from the side, "Boss, this is with filters and beauty effects. The red lips and..." He paused awkwardly, "and the eyebrows, it's a built-in makeup effect."
"Turn it off! Turn it all off. Do I need all this fancy stuff?" Wei Sibei sat in the ergonomic chair Ye Chuyi bought for him and turned around halfway around, looking bored.
Xiao Ji chimed in, "Exactly! The old man is so dignified and handsome, does he need these enhancements? Quickly turn off the beauty filter."
The fourth brother was also aggrieved, squatting on the ground and scratching his head: "It wasn't me who turned it on, it's just like this by default when you go in. Where do I turn off the beauty filter? I need to learn."
He searched online and finally managed to find the function by following the video instructions step by step.
Wei Sibei stroked the pregnant belly, a hint of satisfaction appearing on his brow.
“This…” The sound card amplified his voice throughout the entire space, and Wei Sibei was pleasantly surprised for a moment. “Eh? My voice is actually this nice. How come your sister-in-law has never told me this before?”
He continued, "Well... no, should I say something?"
Xiao Ji stood at attention: "Say whatever you want, Boss." His heart was pounding. This morning, his boss angrily called him and Lao Si to his house to talk about the live stream. He overheard a few words, and it was nothing more than his sister-in-law giving gifts to her first love, which made him jealous. He tried to persuade him for a long time, but to no avail.
The shot was perfectly positioned over Wei Si's upper abdomen in the northern half of the bay. He was wearing a tight-fitting vest today, and his strong muscles were still visible on his shoulders and back, creating a striking contrast with the fullness of his abdomen, giving him a unique charm.
Wei Sibei started his story from when he was three years old, pulling girls' braids, to stuffing grasshoppers into his deskmate's pencil case in junior high school, and then to falling in love at first sight with a girl in red-soled high heels and a high ponytail at an underground boxing gym.
After talking until my throat was dry, I checked the data—only 3 people were watching online.
Wei Sibei slammed down his microphone, protesting: "What? Am I not as handsome as those pretty boys? Not as good at talking? Not as attractive as them?"
Xiao Ji, who had been dozing off from his earlier talk, had taken the opportunity to quickly gather information on how to build up viewership for his live stream. He then said, "Boss, this is our first time streaming on a new account, so the room name is the default. Viewers might not know what to watch. Also, focusing on a niche and specialized area is crucial. Talking about things viewers haven't seen before will increase retention rates. And..." He scrolled down his phone, "...appropriate advertising can help build up your account faster."
I didn't understand anything else, but I understood the last sentence.
Wei Sibei waved his hand dismissively: "It's just money, right? Invest! I don't believe no one will come in to see."
In addition, he changed the cover to a photo of his pregnant belly taken by Ye Chuyi. The morning light shone through the gap in the curtains, lingering on the perfect curve of his abdomen, and the contrast brought by his bronze skin added a touch of charm.
Wow, I've stumbled upon an interesting live stream, let me check it out!
[What kind of bizarre thing is this, a pregnant man? Is it for real?]
【Shahaha】
Wow, wow, I got this through sheer skill!!!
Is this something I can watch for free?
The comment section gradually became lively, and Wei Sibei instantly perked up, smugly winking at the two people on either side.
What he didn't know was that the view from the broadcaster's end and the viewer's end were completely different. Viewers could see his entire belly, and even the slightest movements inside were clearly visible to some viewers with their microscope-like eyes. Especially when he placed one hand on it, intentionally or unintentionally stroking it, it was even more exciting.
He read through the comments one by one, muttering to himself:
[The person in front of me is definitely fake; they're made of silicone. If you actually believe them, they'll sell you health supplements when you get old.]
Wow, what a new way to choose phone numbers!
[So realistic!]
I don't care, this is real.
Wei Sibei: "Tsk, of course it's true, 100% genuine. This kid has been in my belly for ten months, I'd be a dog if I lied to you."
Xiao Ji printed out a lot of scripts and posted them on the wall opposite Wei Sibei, using them as a simple script.
Wei Sibei said, "Family members, move your lucky hands and tap the red heart in the upper right corner. If we get over 5000 likes, I'll do a belly dance for you!"
"Hey guys, follow me so you don't get lost, I'll get you on the fast track!"
"Beyond the mountains, green hills rise; beyond the buildings, more buildings stand. My fans are truly amazing!"
Suddenly, a red light shot out from the center of the screen, then transformed into a red veil, which precisely covered Wei Sibei's face.
"Huh?" Wei Sibei tilted his head left and right. The red veil was still chasing after him. He subconsciously tried to grab it off, but a few seconds later, the red veil disappeared.
Wei Sibei suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and the baby's belly under his palm seemed to harden. He had experienced something similar ten minutes ago, but he hadn't taken it seriously. This time, however, it seemed even more intense.
However, in recent days, he has been experiencing occasional false labor contractions, but he doesn't show it on his face and continues his live stream.
"Welcome wxhfuwehuiewhgow to the live stream!"
"Welcome bywfwhuighiw12038754 to the live stream!"
"Welcome ewwfuwhefuiw... What did you say?"
Xiao Ji didn't dare to make a sound. He quickly wrote a line on the back of the paper and showed it to him: "The default username doesn't need to be read letter by letter."
"Oh." Wei Sibei smiled sheepishly. He knew absolutely nothing about live streaming and never even watched it.
So he chose a few interesting usernames to interact with:
"Bitter Tea Seed Feifei: [Why are you being so formal? Lift up your clothes and let us see your belly!]"
"Kick your big belly: [The trending topic has surpassed 4000! Let us see it first!]"
Xiao Ji and Lao Si both covered their faces.
The phone lying face down on the table suddenly vibrated, startling Wei Sibei.
In the spirit of a professional broadcaster, he handed his phone to Xiao Ji, indicating that he should handle it casually for now.
Xiao Ji flipped it over, took a look, and handed it back to him.
Wei Sibei waved his hand from outside the painting and stuck out his belly.
Attention surged.
Xiao Ji handed it forward again, and Wei Sibei said impatiently, "Hey, just say I'm busy."
Xiao Ji lowered his eyelashes, focusing his gaze on his nose and his mind: "Boss, you'd better accept this."
Wei Sibei glanced at it: 【AAAAAAAAAAA】
"Why didn't you say so earlier!" He immediately stood up and snatched the phone, bumping his stomach against the table, which was captured by the camera in a close-up shot of the dent.
The number of fans has increased dramatically.
As soon as the call connected, before Wei Sibei could even speak, a loud shout came from the other end: "You've started live streaming now, huh? Handsome! Pregnant! Man! Big! Belly! Tempting!?"
Ye Chuyi spoke slowly and deliberately, making Wei Sibei feel his eardrums throb. "No, in front of so many people, let's talk about it at home, let's talk about it at home."
"Right now, shut down the stream and go home! I'm already on my way. I'll get back and see how I deal with you."
The comments section is so fast it's almost blurry.
Wei Sibei was embarrassed: "Wife, didn't you watch the live stream and send gifts first? I... I have a lot of people here, I'll hang up now."
In front of his two brothers and fans, he had to regain his composure and readjust the camera as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Ji offered a piece of advice: "Boss, are you really not going to end the broadcast?"
The more he asked, the more Wei Sibei wanted to broadcast it.
Suddenly, someone initiated a live stream connection. Wei Sibei was confused again: "What's this PK (player versus player) thing?"
Xiao Ji's Quick Notes: It's a competition between two streamers, with the value of audience donations determining the winner. This can incentivize viewers to donate, and there are penalties for the loser.
"Oh." Wei Sibei seemed to understand, but not quite. "Then who could it connect to?"
After saying that, he immediately dismissed his own thoughts: "Oh well, whatever, it's just for fun anyway, let's connect and see."
As soon as the connection was established, before Wei Sibei could even get a clear look at the streamer on the other end, Ye Chuyi's voice boomed over again: "You even do belly dancing, huh? What, trying to steal the spotlight and debut as the center of attention?"
Ye Chuyi had just logged on, and her popularity wasn't as high as Wei Sibei's, but people quickly recognized her:
[Hey? Isn't that the young lady who beat up the knife-wielding thug on the street last time?]
[I know! She even filmed a promotional video with LZH, they're so cute together, I'm totally shipping them!]
【I know her too! I live right across from their station. She's the best in the station, super cool!】
"After being robbed, I love to eat. What is this? A promotional video—Li Zihan? Why do they have to use an abbreviation?" Wei Sibei never felt that there was much of an age difference between him and them, but now he felt like an old man who couldn't keep up with the times.
Ye Chuyi's mouth sputtered like a machine gun: "Wei Sibei, what are you doing here? Do you need to earn money for baby formula by giving tips? I'll count to three, and if you don't log off, you'll never see me again in your life."
"No, give me some face, there are so many people watching." Wei Sibei finally managed to interject.
Someone else from the crowd jumped out:
[Oh, I recognize him! The male lead is a boxing champion, a big shot, and he even had a rumored romance with this girl.]
Oh right, I also follow him, but he's just sitting there gathering dust in my following list.
So, the pregnancy is real?
Sister, did you let a man get her pregnant?
The comment section exploded:
[My older sister is so cool!]
[Sister is awesome!]
[Can you please not be picky about gender, sister?]
He gradually discovered that the fiercer Ye Chuyi was to him, the more popular she became.
Do you even have any compassion for men in labor?
His stomach pain returned, this time with even shorter intervals, and his attention wasn't on it. He couldn't hold back for a moment, and the audience noticed.
Sure enough, there were a few reasonable people in the comments section:
[The boss looks so pitiful, instead of comforting him, I will!]
[He looks like he's about to give birth, female lead, please don't upset him.]
What kind of world is this? Men can get pregnant now?!
Wei Sibei sighed with satisfaction, "Look at them!"
He didn't receive a response from Ye Chuyi; the screen remained black.
"Huh, huh? What's that popping out?"
Xiao Ji rushed over and saw: "The live stream has been banned."
"Why?" Wei Sibei's stomach pain grew longer and longer. He clutched his clothes and endured it for a while. "Inappropriate guidance for minors? How am I inappropriately guiding them? It's okay to show off abs, but not a big belly. Don't you have any sense of aesthetics?!"
Ye Chuyi is still the best. Look at her, she has the aesthetic sense of a top-tier photographer.
"Ouch, no—" Wei Sibei slowly stood up, supporting herself on the corner of the table. The baby seemed to have slumped down quite a bit. "I think I'm really going into labor!"
Xiao Ji and Lao Si were in a flurry of activity. Lao Si, who was about the same height as Wei Sibei, supported his waist from behind and helped him quickly go downstairs and get into the car.
Xiao Ji quickly called Ye Chuyi back, told her the situation, and then absentmindedly stuffed a piece of equipment into her arms.
There was no one else in the car, so Wei Sibei didn't want to suffer. When the contractions came, he grabbed Xiao Ji's hand and said, "Holy crap, this kid's practicing boxing in there! It hurts like hell—"
The fourth brother was driving, not daring to turn around and look at the two people in the back seat, but he was worried and hoped to get the eldest brother home as soon as possible.
The contractions came on suddenly, and each time he felt like the baby was about to come out. He tossed and turned, groaning in pain, thrusting his belly and struggling, making no attempt to hide it.
He wiped his sweaty eyelids, and glanced unintentionally at Xiao Ji. Something in his arms was gleaming:
[Caught it while it's still hot?]
[Husband, pat your back, don't cry.]
[Rub, rub, soothe, and fly away in pain~~]
[Waaah, it looks like it hurts so much, I'm here!]
[Let the pain intensify, let it last longer! I want to see it!]
Hold your breath and strain.
"Hey, what is this? Over 300,000 views online? What's going on? Wasn't it just shut down?"
Xiao Ji jumped in fright, completely unaware: "When...when was the ban lifted again?"
And the screen was directly facing Wei Sibei's direction... Xiao Ji felt like jumping out of the car.
"So I was live-streaming the whole way here?" Wei Sibei refused to believe it, wishing he could slap himself unconscious. "How could I be so carefree as to live-stream giving birth? You better turn this off now."
Looking at the comments, his face flushed red, and he finally broke down, his voice trembling.
"Someone actually likes watching pregnant men, ugh... what kind of people are in this live stream?!"
As more and more people joined the live stream, Xiao Ji's hands trembled: "Boss, this is my first time live streaming, how do I turn it off?"
"you!"
I'm fucking saddled with Q.
