This blogger's online name is Xinjiang. She is the same age as Baiye and started making videos in her senior year of high school.
Unlike Bai Ye, she is a vocational school student, not a regular high school student. Because of her household registration, she cannot attend a local public school, and private high schools are too expensive for her family to afford.
But she didn't waste her time. While making videos during her senior year of high school, she also studied on her own. Although she didn't get into university, her score was higher than Bai Ye's.
Even Bai Ye couldn't help but sigh, if she had her own family background, getting a bachelor's degree wouldn't be so easy.
Bai Ye felt extremely ashamed when he thought about this. He paid tens of thousands of yuan in tuition to attend a private high school, but he couldn't even get into a university.
He raised his parents' expectations, but he repeatedly disappointed them.
It feels like all those years of tuition fees, which have exceeded ten thousand, have been wasted.
The Bai family wasn't exactly wealthy.
Thanks to that period of time, Baiye and Xinjiang became good friends. Baiye would like every video of hers, and she would usually send him her videos in advance.
Bai Ye is very happy with this wave of benefits.
However, their communication was limited to TikTok, and they had no other contact.
Their relationship is like that of close online friends.
Ye Qingcheng, who was walking ahead, strode away into the distance.
Bai Ye didn't look any further. After all, they were already near the school, and if they continued to act so blatantly, they would be mistaken for a pervert and followed.
I made instant noodles as soon as I got back to my dorm.
Then I opened Valorant and started playing Valorant.
A shooting game with four types of characters: Duel, Vanguard, Controller, and Sentry.
As soon as Bai Ye logged on, he saw that a friend was also online.
Xinjiang also likes to play this game, and the two often play together in duo queue. In addition to cosplaying and making videos, Xinjiang is also a streamer, and she usually streams this game.
Like her Douyin account, her game name is also Xinjiang, while Baiye's game is about seeking a rich woman to support her.
Yes, that's the name. Bai Ye wasn't ashamed at all. Let's just say, who wouldn't want to be kept?
After Ye Qingcheng saw that he was online, she immediately pulled him into the room and turned on the voice microphone.
Is it live streaming?
A seductive, mature female voice came through the microphone: "It will air tonight, not now."
"Shall we play a round?"
"good!"
Matchmaking was quick, with Ye Qingcheng instantly locking in a duelist position (Jiefeng) and Bai Ye instantly locking in a sentry position (Healer).
Yes, that's right, a wet nurse.
Bai Ye's skills are average, and she always carries the team, so choosing a healer is the right choice to keep her alive.
Bai Ye had initially considered the idea of coming to C herself, but after a one-on-one fight with her, she was so badly beaten that she became withdrawn.
The score of 100:46 left Bai Ye completely speechless.
The game ended quickly, and his rank was once again raised to Platinum.
Another one where I got carried away.
What are you eating?
Bai Ye answered while slurping his instant noodles.
Instant noodles!
Ye Qingcheng asked in confusion, "Are you short of money? Why are you eating instant noodles?"
She also knew that the other person was still working, and theoretically it was unlikely that they would be so short of money that they had to eat instant noodles.
"I'm not short of money, and instant noodles are delicious, okay?"
Bai Ye tries to prove the worth of instant noodles.
You know, back in high school, instant noodles were an absolute delicacy! They were way better than any of the cafeteria aunties' cooking skills.
The woman on the other end seemed somewhat displeased: "Send over the Green Bubble payment code!"
Bai Ye honestly sent a green bubble code.
I quickly received a transfer of fifty yuan.
"Let's have some barbecue tonight to improve our meals."
"Thanks to the rich woman for supporting me."
Ye Qingcheng smiled, her mood instantly brightening, but her smile quickly faded.
Why does the profile picture on the QR code for receiving payments from Bai Ye look so familiar?
She opened Fetion and clicked on Bai Ye's profile picture.
I found it to be exactly the same, and then I checked the real-name registration on the QR code for receiving payments.
Because the system automatically blocks one character, the result is *night.
"White Night" is a two-character phrase, consisting of black and white, and the avatar is similar.
Her heart trembled slightly.
So... Bai Ye... is it him?
Her mind went blank, and her memory seemed to regress to that summer two years ago.
Her future was almost predetermined after attending a vocational school. She tried to change it, but it was a fact that her family had no money or were unwilling to support her education.
They valued their younger brother, who had always been obedient and outstanding since childhood, even more.
The family has always maintained a tradition of favoring sons over daughters.
In order for her younger brother to improve his studies, he went to a private school, while she went to a vocational high school.
Having already lost all hope in her life, she had actually considered taking her own life.
Her first Douyin video was a photo of the sunset.
She loves watching the sunset, enjoying the last rays of dawn before darkness falls.
That first like made her realize the importance of social media.
I had the idea of becoming an internet celebrity and making money to change my fate.
Because of her good looks, she wanted to take some selfies, but she didn't want to be recognized by people she knew, so she wore a mask, took a lot of selfies, and then made them into pictures and videos and posted them online.
But the imagination was beautiful, but the reality was cruel. A long, long time passed without any news, likes, or comments. It just hung there all alone.
She had almost lost all confidence until that comment and like.
Bai Ye: My wife has made a fool of herself.
His comments left Ye Qingcheng both amused and exasperated, but having already given up on making videos, she inexplicably clicked the follow button.
Bai Ye followed her, and that marked the beginning of their destined connection.
As the two gradually became acquainted, Bai Ye learned about her situation and encouraged her to continue filming, saying that she would succeed.
She ignored it at the time, because time and the outcome had already proven her failure.
And Bai Ye's words: I will always be your audience, don't give up.
She couldn't bear to disappoint her new friend.
So she persevered until she gradually made a name for herself.
She shared her joy with him, while Bai Ye was in his final year of high school, a time of intense academic pressure. Bai Ye disliked studying and felt hopeless, so he secretly carried his phone with him.
The two could only communicate at night.
Ye Qingcheng's words revealed her longing for his life. Bai Ye could understand her feelings, as she was not valued by her parents and was oppressed by the patriarchal concept.
So Bai Ye had the idea of advising her to study on her own.
She hesitated at that time because there were only eight months left in her senior year of high school. Was it really enough time?
Bai Ye: At least I tried my best to achieve my goal, didn't I? Even if I failed, your hard work will always be the most beautiful sight.
At that moment, a boy whose face she didn't know slowly entered her heart.
Although she ultimately failed to get into a four-year university, she was just a hair's breadth away from it and ended up here, much to the surprise of her parents who had never had high hopes for her.
That was the first time she saw regret on her parents' faces, regretting why they hadn't gritted their teeth and insisted on sending their child to a private school.
That was also the happiest time for her.
That year, I was in the prime of my life, and thankfully... I had him!
...
In some places, people can't attend public schools in the county because of their household registration status. They have to go through a lottery system, which involves connections. But with little money, how can one expect to have any connections?
So if you want to study in the county, you can only go to a private school, which costs a lot of money and doesn't care about connections.
If you don't go to the county but to the town for junior high school, I can tell you clearly that in my own town, very few people get into regular high schools during their three years of junior high. Maybe less than ten.
Don't think it's outrageous; it's really hard for people from rural areas to achieve anything these days without money. That's just the reality.
