Chapter 10
Gu Yubai glanced at the upper right corner.
Today, the only viewer in the streamer's live broadcast room is still him.
Gu Yubai thought of the pitiful state the little streamer looked when he entered the live broadcast room last time, and felt a little sorry for her, fearing that she might be as frustrated as before.
Just as I was about to say something to encourage the young streamer, my gaze shifted to the center of the screen, and I was surprised to find that the young streamer looked very relaxed and natural, and didn't seem to be affected at all.
It seems the young streamer has been cultivating a good mindset lately.
For some reason, Gu Yubai couldn't help but feel a heartfelt sense of relief.
"Sister, wait a minute, I'll finish this bread before I draw," Yu Xia said with a slightly embarrassed smile. "I didn't expect you to come so early, so I might have to trouble you to wait a while."
Hmm? Has the little streamer not eaten yet?
It seems being a live streamer is quite tough, Gu Yu thought to himself.
【Bai and Bye】: Oh, you can eat it.
"Mmm." Yu Xia tore open the packaging and was about to take a bite when she glanced at her phone, feeling a little strange.
Aside from being watched while eating by her elders when she was little, Yu Xia had never been watched while eating like this in all these years, and she felt inexplicably strange.
To reduce the eeriness, Yu Xia moved slightly outwards, revealing only a small part of her body.
But as soon as I moved it, a message popped up on the screen.
【Bai and Bye】: Why was it moved out? I can't see it anymore, is it not being broadcast anymore?
"Huh?" Yu Xia paused, holding the bread in her hand, then silently moved it back, saying somewhat awkwardly, "No, it's supposed to be broadcast, I just..."
Yu Xia paused here, unsure of what to say next.
It wouldn't be right for her to feel like she was being watched by a parent through a screen, as if he were monitoring her to see if she had eaten properly. That would be too strange.
"Never mind, it's nothing." Yu Xia gave up on dwelling on it and chose to skip it.
Gu Yubai didn't ask any more questions and just quietly watched the little anchor eat.
The young livestreamer ate with such grace and slow, methodical movements that it was a pleasure to watch. She held the bag of food with two small, white fingers, taking tiny bites, her cheeks puffing out, her eyes round and bright, like a cute little hamster.
In Gu Yubai's memory, there are two types of people who eat: one type eats like Fu Ze, who doesn't say a word and just starts eating, like a hungry wolf devouring its prey; the other type eats like Chi Ximin, who drags on and on, with several bottles and jars on the side, and can't finish a bowl of food in half a day.
Neither of these factions left him with a good impression. He even refused Fu Ze's invitation to sit at the same table in the cafeteria because Fu Ze ate too wildly. Part of the reason was that Fu Ze talked too much while eating, but the bigger reason was that he was afraid Fu Ze would spit in his bowl while eating, which he couldn't stand.
But he never knew that watching others eat would generate interesting thoughts, and he felt no impatience at all, as if he were watching some kind of small animal, and felt joy from the bottom of his heart.
Today, Gu Yubai categorizes this way of eating, as practiced by livestreamers, as the third school of thought in his own definition of eating.
—The kind that brings joy.
Furthermore, Gu Yubai noticed that the bread the little streamer was eating was the same one he had bought when they bumped into each other at the convenience store earlier that day.
Gu Yubai stared at the packaging bag carefully. Seeing how much the little streamer enjoyed it, Gu Yubai silently noted down the brand and decided to buy it and try it someday.
Yu Xia finished eating quickly. She took out a tissue, wiped her mouth, turned the canvas to face her, took out her paintbrush, and asked, "Would you like to see me paint something?"
After all, as Yu Xia's fellow fan and only viewer, Yu Xia really wanted to do something to make him happy.
Gu Yubai thought for a moment and then typed.
【Bai and Bye】: People.
It seems that the paintings I commissioned from the young streamer before were all landscapes, and I haven't seen her paint any figures yet. This is a good opportunity to see how well she paints figures.
However, given the streamer's skill level, it shouldn't be too bad. After all, some of the more difficult drawings they commissioned were done exceptionally well by the streamer.
"A person?" Yu Xia looked at this comment, frowned, thought for a moment, and murmured, "Who should I draw?"
Suddenly, a face flashed through my mind.
Perfect modeling.
Yu Xia was stunned.
Holy crap! The perfect answer is right here in front of me! What a perfect practice subject!
Just draw him!
Yu Xia seemed to be struck by a flash of inspiration, and her expression instantly became clear.
“I know who I’m going to draw,” Yu Xia snapped her fingers, looked excitedly at the screen, and said, “I’ll draw you a super handsome guy I saw today.”
Super handsome guy?
What I saw today?
Gu Yubai thought for a moment, quickly recalling the faces of everyone he had encountered by the young anchor after leaving the conference room today, as if comparing which of them matched the young anchor's description.
But Gu Yubai searched for a long time and still couldn't find a match. Could it be that the person the little streamer was talking about wasn't someone he met by chance at the studio today, but someone he met on his way home?
"I'm telling you, he's really handsome, like he stepped right out of a comic book." Yu Xia said excitedly to the screen, her excitement overflowing.
Gu Yubai frowned as he listened to her description.
Based on the results he retrieved from his mind, he really couldn't figure out who deserved such high praise from the little streamer. He was also a little curious and wanted to see who the super handsome guy in the little streamer's eyes was.
【Bai and Bye】: Okay, then you draw it.
Draw it out and let him see who it is that makes the little streamer emphasize appearance so much.
And they even used such exaggerated adjectives.
Super handsome guy?
Gu Yubai scoffed.
Exaggerated.
Yu Xia nodded, then moved her chair back slightly, sat up straight, and took out her pen to start drafting.
Gu Yubai tore open the butter biscuit that had been brought out, put one in his mouth, and slowly watched the little streamer draw.
Gu Yubai chewed a couple of times. It was different from what he usually ate; it was too sweet, which made him frown.
He has never liked these high-sugar snacks; he finds them too cloying and unpleasant to eat, which makes him dislike them.
But today, for some reason, when he found this bag of butter cookies downstairs, the image of meeting the little anchor at the convenience store unexpectedly flashed through his mind. Then, for some unknown reason, he surprisingly snatched the bag of butter cookies from Chi Ximin's hands and brought it upstairs. And now he has even eaten one.
Oh no, this is the second one.
Just now, while he was pondering his strange behavior, he put another piece in his mouth.
He still couldn't understand why people liked this snack, and he stared at the bag of cookies, lost in thought.
Well, the packaging design is quite girly, with a pink color scheme and a bunch of cartoon rabbit faces on the outside, as well as a fairy wand. It's simple and cute, and it does look like a style that most girls would like.
Would even a small-time streamer like it?
Gu Yubai suddenly asked this question.
I think so.
The streamer's profile picture is also a pink rabbit, which matches this quite well.
Moreover, the young streamer seemed to be someone who liked sweets.
So Gu Yubai tried another piece, once again attempting to understand why it tasted so good.
Whether it was psychological or not, Gu Yubai actually tasted a different feeling this time, and felt that it was not so incomprehensible.
Well, it seems there's a reason why it's so popular.
When sending dolls, you could consider sending a bag to the little streamer; she would probably like it.
After thinking for a while, Gu Yubai looked at his phone again and found that the little anchor had almost finished drafting it.
Gu Yubai glanced at the canvas. The little streamer had already roughly sketched out the figure and even the hairstyle. The general outline of the figure was visible.
Judging from the initial draft of the streamer, he should be a fairly tall person. Judging from the draft, his facial features are just at the level of a normal person. How could he be described as such an exaggerated person? How can he be called a super handsome guy?
Gu Yubai took another bite of the biscuit.
Yu Xia looked at the draft for a while and found that something seemed wrong, so she took an eraser and erased the bottom part.
He wiped away the lower half of her body, and Gu Yubai nodded in satisfaction.
He said this person probably wasn't that tall. See, now even the junior streamer has realized something was wrong and is starting to change things.
However, the moment Gu Yubai's satisfied expression vanished.
Because the young streamer drew her legs to be longer, making her appear even taller than before.
Tsk. Is the streamer drawing with a filter on? Why draw the legs so long? Why not just draw them all the way to the neck? Are legs that long? Does it even conform to human proportions? The streamer's drawing is so unrealistic.
Gu Yubai felt that the young livestreamer had become dishonest.
However, Yu Xia was not affected by him at all. She focused on her painting and started to draw the details after revising the draft.
Yu Xia started by drawing the facial features.
Okay, that's good. It'll let him see what this person looks like quickly, and whether he's really the super handsome guy the streamer was talking about.
If not, then don't blame him for saying later that the junior streamer has poor taste.
Who told the junior anchor to exaggerate so much? If you don't meet the standards, be prepared to accept his criticism.
He's also incredibly handsome.
It would be fun if the drawing turned out to be an ordinary, ugly monster.
Gu Yubai watched the little streamer's movements intently, already planning in his mind how he would "objectively" output the details of these facial features after the little streamer finished drawing.
For example, the eyebrows drawn by the young anchor.
The eyebrows aren't that thick, and they're drawn so thin and long. Is this a boy's eyebrows?
And that nose, whose nose is so prominent? Does it fit with other facial features? It looks like it was pieced together.
And that jawline, it's so sharp, is it meant for chopping vegetables?
Gu Yubai looked at them one by one, deciding to have a proper discussion about them later.
Almost every time Yu Xiaxiu went somewhere, Gu Yubai would complain about it.
Why are his lips drawn so thin? And the lip line is so straight. He doesn't look like a good person. And why draw such a prominent cupid's bow? We only met once. Is it really necessary to pay such attention to detail?
Tsk, why draw those eye sockets so big? Do they even have eyes that big? Why not just draw them behind their ears?
Gu Yubai's complaints stopped abruptly after Yu Xia finished drawing the eyes.
On the canvas appeared a face that Gu Yubai knew all too well.
It was him.
