Chapter 61
The sudden male voice on the phone was already enough to excite the netizens watching the drama, but the moment the name Bai He was uttered, it was undoubtedly a bombshell, directly blasting the entire live stream room, with the barrage of comments pouring in like a tidal wave.
[Holy crap! You know what, it actually looks kind of like the real thing!]
[Is it really Bai He?! You're not kidding, are you?!]
[Bai He, if it's you, say something!]
[How could it be Bai He? There are plenty of nice male voices in the world. It's just a slight resemblance. Why would it be Bai He? You never see him all year round. How could he possibly show up in a live stream that we have no connection with?]
[But it really sounds so similar, especially that "hmm" at the end—isn't that the kind of sound Bai He usually likes to make?]
[Summer, what are you standing there for? Explain yourself! Is it Bai He?]
[I'm the only one who cares about him asking if he's dating anyone, so does he even know if they're dating or not?!]
Because of the name "Bai He", the number of viewers in the live stream skyrocketed. People from all walks of life, including those who wanted to watch the drama, those who wanted to gossip, and those who wanted to refute rumors, were all crowding into Yu Xia's live stream, urging her to respond quickly.
However, the person at the center of the controversy seemed oblivious to the storm he had stirred up. Looking at the comments scrolling by in the live chat, he asked, "Yeah, have you talked about it yet, Summer?"
Gu Yubai lowered his voice, not deliberately trying to disguise it. His voice was gentle, with a hint of a smile, and had a lazy, amusing quality.
"Didn't you just say I was pretty? Why are you silent now? Are you going back on your word?"
[With this kind of vocal talent, who else but Bai He could have it?!]
[Holy crap! That voice is so soothing!]
[I was a little unsure before, but after hearing this, I'm 100% sure! That's definitely Bai He! I'd recognize him even if he were ashes!]
[Holy crap, so Summer's crush is Bai He?!]
[What do you mean, "dating" or "not dating"?! You two are dating?!]
[Bai He's voice is so charming, his breathy tone is amazing, anyone who listens to it will be mesmerized, he really knows how to do it...]
[What?! What do you mean by "acknowledge"? Is it the kind of good-looking I'm thinking of? Holy crap, is it because Summer just complimented the studio's guy on his looks, and Bai He got jealous, and Summer even replied to him saying he's good-looking?! Okay, okay, we're just part of your game!]
[Holy crap, isn't this a massive power struggle?]
[No way, Baihe, what happened? You've become so flamboyant in just a few days...]
Yu Xia's heart was pounding. The comments on the screen were dazzling, and Gu Yubai's voice was disturbing her peace of mind. She didn't know if Gu Yubai was doing it on purpose or not. Didn't he know she was live-streaming? Why...why did he say such things? What should she do?
With more and more netizens getting closer, hanging up at this point would only make things worse. Yu Xia had no choice but to bite the bullet and whisper into the receiver, "I'm live streaming."
Originally, she was afraid he wouldn't know, and wanted to remind Gu Yubai that this was a live broadcast, fearing he might say something irreparable. But when Gu Yubai heard this, he paused for a moment, then chuckled: "Really?"
"Mmm," Yu Xia thought he would know it was a live broadcast and would restrain himself, and was ready to help him salvage the situation, so she hurriedly said, "So—"
"So, dear Mrs. Summer, have we talked?"
During those few seconds when her breathing stopped, Yu Xia was stunned.
At this moment, the live chat went wild, filled with "Ahhhhh, have they talked yet! Have they talked yet! Have they talked yet!"
In contrast to the lively barrage of comments, Gu Yubai held a quiet receiver in his hand, still waiting for her reply.
Although she didn't quite understand why Gu Yubai did this, she had already come this far. Under the watchful eyes of thousands of netizens, Yu Xia listened to her own heartbeat and followed her heart: "We talked."
Then she heard a soft laugh from the other end of the phone: "Good to know, I was afraid you'd renege on your promise."
"Not bad," Yu Xia said softly.
[Aaaaaaah!!! Holy crap, they actually dated!!!]
[Aaaaaaah!!! My Summer!!! My newly-favorite artist, how did she already get taken?!]
[Is this really Bai He?! Why didn't you answer this?! Who wants to see you two showing off your love?!]
[Bai He is confirmed! That voice... if it wasn't Bai He, I'll wash my hair upside down!]
[Holy crap, Summer's face is so red...]
“Yes, she’s very popular, so don’t bully her,” Gu Yubai said.
A voice came from the phone again, and Yu Xia was startled before realizing that it was a response to the comments on the screen.
[Aaaaaah! He's watching a live stream!]
[Wait, so this means they're admitting he's Bai He?!]
Upon realizing this, netizens flooded the screen with "Ahhhhhh!" comments.
[Holy crap, who said Bai He couldn't date? He can date now!]
[I've never heard Bai He's voice so gentle in my life. Thank you, Summer.]
[Bai He, you alpaca! You haven't been out and about for the past few months, have you been dating?!]
[Bai He's first live stream was in his wife's live stream, I was totally shipping them!]
[Who would have thought that Bai He would actually demand a formal title from his wife in front of us? He's so cunning!]
[Using us to get my wife to admit her identity, I'm speechless, Bai He. How could you do this? Is this really the Bai He I know?]
[Family members, did Bai He just notice me?]
"Well, so thank you all for getting Summer to acknowledge me." Gu Yubai's tone softened when he mentioned Summer.
Yu Xia's heart skipped a beat.
Gu Yubai's answer, however, instantly opened a new world for netizens, who flooded the live stream with comments.
[Summer Summer Summer, could you ask Baihe if he can interact with us in the live stream?]
Yu Xia hesitated for a moment after seeing this comment.
Seemingly noticing her hesitation, Gu Yubai asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Yu Xia felt there was nothing left to hide at this point, so she relayed the netizen's message: "That's right, they want to interact with you and want to ask if you can."
After saying that, Yu Xia, fearing he was having trouble refusing because she was there, whispered to him, "If you don't want to, just refuse. Don't be afraid—"
They were afraid of offending me.
But before she could finish speaking, Gu Yubai said, "Okay."
His tone was almost without hesitation.
Yu Xia was taken aback.
"Do you need me to read the comments for you?" she asked.
“No need,” Gu Yubai said, “I can see it myself.”
"Oh, okay."
“However…” Gu Yubai chuckled, “I might need Mrs. Summer to turn up the phone volume, otherwise I’m afraid the viewers in the live stream won’t be able to hear my answer.”
Yu Xia blushed and her heart raced from being called "Mrs. Summer" by those women. She replied "Okay" and quickly turned up the volume on her phone.
[Holy crap, is this flirting?]
[Wow... Bai He is way too good at this.]
[Holy crap, is this really Bai He? Everyone was just guessing, no one said anything explicitly. This character doesn't seem right; isn't Bai He supposed to be quite aloof?]
The next second, Gu Yubai's voice came through the phone, "Hello everyone, this is Bai He. If you have any questions, come on over."
When the volume is turned up, it is exceptionally clear in the quiet room, and every word seems to hit your eardrums.
Yu Xia swallowed nervously.
“Yeah, he’s pretty aloof, but Summer’s his girlfriend, so it’s different,” Gu Yubai said.
[Holy crap! Could Bai He be any more direct?]
[If he dares to ask for recognition on his live stream, what wouldn't he dare to do?]
[But why do I see Bai He's account here? Isn't he watching a live stream?]
[Yeah, I didn't see it either. I've definitely followed Bai He. If he were in the live stream, I would have received a notification. I didn't see his account.]
[So Bai He was watching the live stream using a secondary account?]
small?
When Yu Xia saw this word, she subconsciously looked towards the account on the live stream.
Indeed, I didn't see Baihe's account. Does Baihe have a secondary account?
What is a small trumpet?
Gu Yubai chuckled: "Can you ask something meaningful?"
But netizens wouldn't listen to him. Human nature is all about watching the drama unfold, and they certainly wouldn't let a new source of amusement pass them by.
[Watching the live stream with a fake account? I'll expose you!]
[OMG! Who is Bai He? It's time for you netizens to show your skills!]
[People like Bai He, whose smaller versions likely also have very obvious elderly characteristics, should be looked for in that direction.]
[I think it's possible that the blue avatar was a string of random English letters, and it just so happens to have that time.]
[Hey, I saw a Bai and Bye profile picture, and the name style seems to be Baihe's style, but Baihe probably doesn't use this kind of profile picture.]
Yu Xia was also a little curious, so she followed the netizens' digging and saw Bai and Bye. She was stunned and had a strange feeling.
[No, it's not Bai and Bye. You girls are new here, right? This Bai and Bye is a long-time fan of Summer. She was there when Summer first started streaming and there weren't many viewers. It's not her~]
[Let's ask Bai He and Summer some questions, okay? That's the important thing! Don't you guys want to know who pursued whom?]
Distracted like this, netizens immediately shifted their attention and started posting a string of comments like "Who pursued whom?"
Gu Yubai made no attempt to hide anything and frankly admitted, "I was the one who pursued her."
[Aaaaaah! It was Bai He who pursued her! I can't even imagine how Bai He managed to woo someone!]
[Not surprising at all, okay? Look at Summer's shy expression, it would be a miracle if she was the one who pursued him!]
[I really want to know why Bai He fell for Summer!!!]
“She’s adorable,” Gu Yubai chuckled, “and very hardworking. I like her a lot.”
Yu Xia blushed and dared not look at the camera anymore.
[Ahhh, I love it... I'm totally shipping them!]
[Summer is so shy! It's more interesting to watch other people date!]
[Am I the only one envious of Bai He? He's probably ecstatic to see his wife blushing behind the screen.]
"Be envious, mine is mine," Gu Yubai said.
[Holy crap! Bai He even answered this?]
[You can tell he really had a blast.]
[Am I the only one who thinks this tone is rude?]
[I feel like I've met a completely new Baihe today.]
Perhaps sensing that Baihe was in a good mood and easy to talk to, and taking advantage of the fact that it was Summer's live stream, netizens, relying on Summer's influence, were now speaking boldly in the live stream, saying things they wouldn't normally dare to say to Baihe.
[We strongly condemn this Bai He for not going to work and benefiting our ears, but instead running around here flirting with his wife and showing off his love!]
When will Baihe start construction?
[Bai He, give me back my wife!]
[Could you use your voice to flirt with Summer again? I really want to see it, it's so sweet!]
"We'll announce when work resumes on Weibo," Gu Yubai's reader commented in the live chat. "Want to flirt with Summer?"
Yu Xia's ears were now bright red.
Gu Yubai saw it all clearly. He chuckled and said, "She'll be shy, and I don't want you to see her."
After saying goodbye to the viewers, he ended this brief first live stream interaction.
Yu Xia also felt she couldn't continue. If she kept streaming, she could already imagine what the chat would look like later—she'd probably be roasted alive. Just then, the clock struck ten, and she quickly said, "It's ten o'clock, time's up, let's call it a day!"
After finishing speaking, I couldn't wait to end the broadcast. I've never felt so flustered before.
As Yu Xia ended her live stream, a series of comments from netizens, "No! I haven't seen enough!" were drowned out by the darkness.
Yu Xia let out a deep breath.
Luckily, I was fast enough to handle the situation.
Just when Yu Xia thought she could finally catch her breath after the broadcast ended, her phone suddenly chimed with a notification sound – a special message from someone concerned about her.
The next second, a notification popped up on the page, from just now.
[Bai He: Girlfriend @Summer]
