Chapter 29 I only care about you.
It's a relationship issue again.
Nan Zhiyi suddenly regretted buying a romance-themed Truth or Dare game based on the "bromance guide".
Fortunately, this time the question was no longer an open-ended one, and he could quickly give the definite answer: "...just once."
[You guessed right, he definitely can't forget his first love.]
Has Xiaoyi ever talked about his dating experience? I can't imagine what kind of girl he likes at all.
[It might not be a girl, what if it's her boyfriend? [thinking][thinking]]
You Xin keenly noticed the different focus: "'Right'?"
"..." Nan Zhiyi had no choice but to answer again, "Just once."
"That's fine."
You Xin seemed finally satisfied with this answer.
Nan Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief. He returned to the squad room, reloaded the preparation, and vowed, "You wait... I absolutely won't hold back this time, I'll definitely win this one!!"
"If I'm taken down, why punish me?" You Xin asked, seemingly casually.
“Of course, it’s a dare,” Nan Zhiyi said without hesitation. “I remember one of the cards was about pole dancing.”
"…………"
Nan Zhiyi imagined the scene: the usually serious and carefree Xiao Youshen hanging from a steel pipe and spinning around. He laughed out loud: "If I draw this, no backing out! I'm recording a video! I'm definitely going to win this one, or else... I'm not Nan!"
You Xin asked casually, "Then should I change my surname to You?"
He successfully turned the tables on his opponent.
Nan Zhiyi immediately fell silent and began to pretend to be interested in the fine hairs on her character's ears, clicking the mouse frantically.
The comments section was filled with neat rows of 【???】
Finally, the game was queued up, and this time I was randomly assigned to the jungle map.
Unfortunately, in this game, Nan Zhiyi was assigned the extremely difficult support role.
His boastful words, spoken just moments before, vanished instantly, and his image as the "big brother who carries the younger brothers" seemed on the verge of being extinguished. And then, their team's main carry, the number one carry, started speaking.
[1L: Let's have a cat carry me!]
[1L: My specialty]
Nan Zhiyi instantly saw through the other party's identity: there was a 99% probability that he was a regular player, and a 1% probability that he was a small agent who placed orders.
He followed You Xin's example and silently locked down the [Archer].
【1L: ?】
[1L: Is this a publicity stunt?]
Nan Zhiyi also types.
[3L: I have a special skill too]
【1L: ?】
【1L：****】
Nan Zhiyi continued to imitate 1L's speech: 【Let's have a cat carry us!】
The message was sent out with a "ding".
Yu Xin in 2L locked [Catman].
"...??" Nan Zhiyi asked in horror, "What are you doing!"
“Didn’t you want a cat?” You Xin said matter-of-factly, as if she had no idea that she had randomly chosen a profession.
"I was just joking!!"
“I let you win last time, so of course I’ll let you win this time.” You Xin didn’t care at all. “It’s just a Diamond rank game.”
The implication is that you can win even if you just play casually.
Looking at their career choices and IDs, 1L immediately misinterpreted their relationship and increased the strength of their password output.
At the same time, 4L suddenly started to speak as well.
[4L: An angel's will? Is it really an angel's will?]
I was recognized by passersby again. This kind of situation is inevitable when playing on a main account.
Nan Zhiyi readily admitted: "It was me."
Immediately afterwards.
[4L: That streamer who cheated?]
[4L: How can a cheater still stream?]
Nan Zhiyi froze as he typed. He hadn't expected this answer.
...He originally thought the other person would be his fan or someone who had seen his videos.
After all, the people he had encountered and who recognized him in the past were all one of those two.
[666 close-range ultimate]
Why aren't you saying anything? Why aren't you saying anything?
4L's words were like a spark, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the haters who had been lying in wait in his live stream.
The comments section was a chaotic mess, and the moderators couldn't ban all the accounts. They had no choice but to start setting up censored words, but those people just started using homophones to continue sending comments.
Before the broadcast, Nan Zhiyi had actually anticipated that this topic would be brought up during the live stream.
Sister Li advised him to avoid discussing this topic in public as much as possible. After all, in the eyes of those who dislike him, everything he does is wrong, and any further explanations will only lead to more mistakes. Those people will only take every word he says out of context and create new points of attack.
What was clearly a fabrication from the very beginning was presented to them as a predetermined crime. They saw themselves as righteous judges, embarking on a frenzy of violence.
Nan Zhiyi lowered his eyelashes slightly. He began, "I didn't..."
“He didn’t cheat.” You Xin’s voice came through the microphone, cold.
"A mere verbal promise? What proof do you need? Shouldn't you be the ones providing proof first?"
"Banned list? The detection mechanism isn't perfect. You can get banned if you accidentally ride in a fake car, not to mention that hundreds or thousands of people are wrongly banned every year. Before the authorities provide substantial evidence, it seems like you're the ones making baseless accusations."
Nan Zhiyi pursed her lips, her heart pounding. The game was already loading on the map.
You Xin continued chatting with the viewers in the live chat.
"Don't dare to swear? What's there to be afraid of?" He seemed a little impatient, and read some comments on the screen. "Sure—if the official verdict is that Angel Yi cheated, I'll just announce my retirement the next day."
With a "bang," Nan Zhiyi knocked over the water glass on the table.
The thermos was covered, so the water didn't spill, but the cup rolled off the edge of the table with a gurgling sound and crashed to the ground with a deafening bang.
Nan Zhiyi didn't pick up the cup. He remained seated, as if nailed to the chair.
"I keep my word." You Xin continued speaking, in a nonchalant tone, "When have I ever failed to keep my word?"
"Stop, stop—wait." Nan Zhiyi finally spoke up to interrupt the other person, reminding them, "We're live streaming, don't talk nonsense."
You Xin: "Just chatting."
Nan Zhiyi took a deep breath: "Don't bother reasoning with those people, it's pointless. If we keep talking, the hashtag about your retirement will be trending soon."
"Take it or leave it." You Xin scoffed. "Those people seem to think that by making up a couple of entries and putting them up, they become the golden rule."
Nan Zhiyi was completely helpless against him.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, everyone." He then addressed the chat, "My assistant has already responded to everyone regarding the previous incident on his account. I've also signed up for the Juxing Cup, and everyone is welcome to watch both the online and offline competitions."
“Yux won’t retire. He’ll play his best in this year’s competition.” After a pause, Nan Zhiyi continued, “That’s what he promised me.”
By this time, most of the random chat accounts had been banned by the moderators. Amidst the uniform "I believe in you" messages, Nan Zhiyi caught a glimpse of one: "You're so stupid, streamer. If you coax him a couple of times, he'll behave immediately."
After reading the comments, he subconsciously asked, "You Xin?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the microphone, with only a faint static sound remaining, as if waiting.
Nan Zhiyi tentatively softened her tone: "Don't make oaths about things like this in the future, okay?"
For a long time, You Xin did not speak.
Only after a "ding" sound indicating the map had finished loading did a barely audible "hmm" come through the microphone.
He indeed stopped arguing with the comments.
Nan Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, the comments reminded him that this kind of stubborn creature could only be dealt with by stroking it.
Nan Zhiyi performed quite well throughout the rest of the game, securing 11 kills as an archer, while 4L, who had been jumping around earlier, only managed a 1-4 score.
He probably sneaked into Nan Zhiyi's live stream halfway through, and after discovering that he was streaming, he didn't dare to say anything more, and quickly turned off the friend-adding function after the game ended.
During this time, Youxin's cat-like creature remained attached to only the archer, allowing 4L to be surrounded and attacked by the enemy without doing anything. It even bought a damage potion and threw it on the corpse after the enemy fell.
The game is over, and our side has won. Now it's Nan Zhiyi's turn to draw a card.
He shuffled the deck of cards in front of the camera, closed his eyes, and randomly drew one card.
It's still a truth-or-dare game.
Do you care about what others think of you?
Nan Zhiyi thought to herself, "This deck still has some normal cards, doesn't it?"
He read the cards aloud.
This is practically a free point question!
Did he seem to care about anything just now, judging from his behavior?
[I'm already starting to miss the little travel god from the documentary who was spouting off witty and memorable lines.]
However, upon hearing this, You Xin asked, "Who are the 'others'?"
Nan Zhiyi was stunned, somewhat puzzled: "Others... are just others? Does this mean something else?"
You Xin calmed down.
“Of course I don’t care about other people,” he concluded, “but if ‘other people’ is you, then I will.”
As if to emphasize it, You Xin repeated himself from the beginning: "Nan Zhiyi, I only care about you."
-
Nan Zhiyi was originally scheduled to stream for three hours, including five ranked matches and a truth or dare segment. He won three matches and You Xin won two, which was just right.
However, things didn't go as planned. You Xin had no intention of competing fairly—or perhaps this was the real fair competition. After playing around for two rounds, he easily carried the remaining three games with the ID "Angel's Sweetheart Who Gets Ranked Up," racking up a total of 45 kills, a feat that Angel herself could only dream of.
On the third draw, You Xin once again drew the truth card.
Who is the person closest to your ideal type in your life?
That's great. Another incredibly difficult question.
Nan Zhiyi herself wasn't very clear about the question, but the rules of the game stipulated that she couldn't answer with "I don't know" or "I don't know".
He closed his eyes, steeled his resolve, and simply said, "Pigeon, please."
【WD.Pigeon:? ? ? ? 】
[WD.Pigeon: Bro, don't get me into this! Bro!!]
[WD.Pigeon: I just posted a double happiness symbol, why are you retaliating like this? ???]
Pigeon's colorful chat appeared in a second, and it's unclear how long he'd been online.
[Hahahaha, the real deal is here!]
[The streamer lied! He absolutely lied! I've observed him many times! He likes to close his eyes when he lies!!]
[↑Psychology Mentor]
[Redraw the cards! Redraw the cards!]
"I didn't." Facing the jeers on the screen, Nan Zhiyi was both unreasonable and confident. "My ideal type is... someone who is better at games than me."
Then he grabbed Song Baiyu in the live chat and questioned him: "What's wrong with you? Can't I even praise you for being good at games?"
Is it possible that there's someone in front of you right now who plays even better than Pigeon?
[Got it, the streamer's real ideal type is someone else, he's just too embarrassed to admit it [rose emoji] This person is right here in the live stream, let's all invite him out, okay?]
[WD.Pigeon: Get lost!! I still need to find a partner!!]
[WD.Pigeon: I'm not gay!!!]
Pigeon's appalling cries continued until just before the start of the next game. At the same time, the other WD players also disappeared, seemingly taken away by the coach to play practice matches.
After the fourth game ended, it was You Xin's turn to draw cards again.
This time it wasn't the truth, but the content was that Nan Zhiyi had to imitate the old couple dancing in the Brain Gold commercial.
Nan Zhiyi: "..."
He silently got up and silently pushed the stool away.
A burst of upbeat music quickly filled the live stream: "No gifts this holiday season—"
[Hahahaha]
[Be careful not to strain your back, streamer]
[The original version is a duet! We suggest Xiaoyou Xiaoyi release another duet version.]
On the fifth draw, You Xin pondered for a long time before slowly drawing another card that spoke the truth.
"—Did you feel any regret after breaking up with your previous partner?"
As soon as he finished reading the question, Nan Zhiyi jumped up and protested: "Why do you always get this kind of card! Are you cheating?!"
Nan Zhiyi's suspicions were reasonable and well-founded—You Xin only entered the voice chat room and started broadcasting, but did not turn on his webcam; whether the card drawing was cheating was entirely up to his conscience.
He was simply using the guise of Truth or Dare to fool himself.
However, You Xin replied firmly: "No."
"..."
"If you don't believe me, you can watch the video and draw again."
Nan Zhiyi saw that the comments on her side were already making a fuss.
What's going on? I don't understand, what kind of card is it that I keep drawing "this" type of card?
[It's the Truth Cards, right? Didn't you guys notice that every single card is related to the topic of first love? Haha, I really hate answering this question.]
I'm so curious! Who was his first love? He's being so mysterious, is she some kind of internet celebrity?
The streamer has already cheated once; they can't cheat a second time.
Nan Zhiyi thought desperately that he should have set the rule tonight as "whoever has the most assists".
He sat back down dejectedly, and after a long pause, said softly, "A little."
There was a moment of silence in the voice channel.
Then, the connection was lost without warning.
Nan Zhiyi was taken aback. He checked the online contacts in the room and found that he was the only one left.
At the same time, the phone, which was lying face down on the table, vibrated.
[yux: The power suddenly went out]
Nan Zhiyi knew that he did not have a fixed address in the city and was currently staying at a friend's house, using the friend's equipment to broadcast live.
[Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi: Is everything alright?]
[yux: It's okay]
Nan Zhiyi glanced at the time. It was almost eleven o'clock.
You Xin's live stream showed as disconnected, but the number of followers below his avatar remained...
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Nan Zhiyi counted them all, then counted them again, incredulous.
In less than three hours, the number of followers of the account "yux1107" has exceeded 1.7 million.
Nan Zhiyi stared at the number for a while, then suddenly realized:
Yux clearly has that many fans; it seems... their regular live streams, or even just a casual stream he does, should easily get over 500,000 viewers...
If that's the case, why did he agree to sell this BL content in the first place?
Nan Zhiyi took a deep breath. The feeling that she had belatedly been tricked grew stronger.
Now that his goal had been achieved, he simply said to the camera, "There's been a bit of a problem with Yux... so that's all for today's live stream. See you next time, bye-bye."
Why so suddenly?
No, no, no!! I haven't seen enough yet!!
[Someone secretly ran away after winning four rounds.]
Goodnight, Xiaoyi ww Get some rest!
Nan Zhiyi said her closing remarks as she turned off the live stream, leaving only a black screen.
Just then, I received a new message on my phone.
[yux: Will you treat me to dinner?]
It seems they still remember what happened when the show first aired.
[Little Yi, Little Yi: What to Eat?]
You Xin answered quickly, as if he had already thought of the answer.
【yux: Barbecue】
Nan Zhiyi seemed to remember something. He slumped back in his gaming chair, looking dejected, and covered his face with his fingers.
After a while, it moved slightly away.
Although the live stream screen had gone black, many people were still there.
In the live chat, some people were still relentlessly spamming the screen.
Why did the host skip answering the first question? I've been wondering about this for hours! Please tell me the answer, I really can't sleep tonight! [crying][crying]
Through her fingers, Nan Zhiyi saw the wailing and howling comment on the screen.
[Honest Question: What kind of person was your first love?]
He decided to answer the question.
“Hmm…” Nan Zhiyi thought for a while and finally came to the answer, “He is a person who loves to eat barbecue.”
The live stream was then abruptly cut off, leaving only countless "???" messages futilely spamming the chat.
