Chapter 81 Sweet Seventh Day: The Daily Life of a Young Couple (7)
Xiang Di chuckled sinisterly and excitedly clicked into Xiang Sheng's popular online account. Sure enough, his profile picture showed that he was live streaming.
It was already past midnight, and dawn was just a few hours away, yet there were still over 10,000 people watching her brother's live stream.
Xiang Di could tell at a glance that her brother had been drinking, and quite a lot at that.
He and Bai Jiangxin each only drank two bottles at the hot pot restaurant, so it looks like they drank two cases.
Contrary to her expectations, the live stream didn't flirt with fans or even have any special decorations. The background was Xiang Sheng's room, and he was just lazily lying on the table, tilting his head and resting it on his arm. He didn't interact with the fans at all. Despite this nonchalant attitude, the gift effects kept updating and the chat kept refreshing.
- Just this broken feeling of intoxicating beauty.
- Bro, you're really handsome when you're mute, so handsome that I want to call you husband.
-I came from the popularity rankings, what kind of streamer is this? Why hasn't she said anything for five minutes, yet her fans are still sending her gifts non-stop?
- Judging by her appearance, she's a beauty streamer; judging by her work, she's a borderline streamer; in reality, she's a stand-up comedy streamer.
Xiang Di was even a little jealous.
No wonder everyone wants to be an internet celebrity these days; the money comes too easily.
She scrolled through the comments and roughly understood that Xiang Sheng's live stream had been going on for over an hour, and he hadn't said a word since it started, looking like he was drunk.
This live stream was started on short notice without prior notification to the fan group, so the fans are currently confused and asking Xiang Sheng in the chat what happened.
- How much did you drink?
-Did you break up with your boyfriend?
Upon seeing this comment, Xiang Sheng smirked and lazily said, "Love is nothing! Is there anyone in this world worthy of making me lose love?"
-Good, good, as expected of you, you narcissistic maniac.
-Aren't you going to do a stand-up comedy routine today, bro?
"I'm not going to say it anymore, I won't say it again."
A barrage of question marks immediately filled the screen. Then, one comment guessed: "I get it, he's had another fight with his sister."
As soon as these words were spoken, a row of comments echoed them.
-Nooooo! I love listening to the daily life of the siblings. I watch their live stream clips every day. How can I live without you two?
Seeing the barrage of comments asking what happened between him and his sister, Xiang Sheng frowned, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, and cursed, "Damn sister."
Xiang Di frowned. Xiang Sheng didn't want to scold her, otherwise she would immediately start exposing his dirty secrets.
Just a second ago, Xiang Sheng was cursing, but now he suddenly lowered his eyes in melancholy, sighed, covered his forehead and said, "Let me tell you, my sister is in a relationship."
Xiang Di blushed. It really was her! What happened to protecting her family's privacy? How could this person reveal her private information?!
The comments section was first filled with question marks, then ellipses, and finally "hahahaha".
Amidst the laughter, someone revealed the truth: it turns out that Meikong had lost her composure.
In Xiang Sheng's live stream, "sister complex" is a prohibited word, so it can only be replaced with pinyin.
"Break down my defenses, my ass!" Xiang Sheng cursed. "What did I break down? What defenses did I have? What is there for me to break down?"
Xiang Sheng started arguing with the comments section. The more the comments laughed, the angrier he became.
Xiang Di's expression was complicated. She watched her brother's verbal battle with the fans for more than ten minutes through her phone. But her brother was all alone, so how could he possibly argue with more than 10,000 people in the live stream? So her brother finally exploded.
"Don't send me gifts, and what do you mean by 'don't cry'? Are you all blind? When did I cry?"
"What do you mean by 'looking like the kind of shady, crazy guy who would hire someone to assassinate his brother-in-law'? You're the crazy one, kick him out."
"What terrifying possessiveness! May I ask, what am I possessing? Did I ever say my sister wasn't allowed to date? I wish my sister all the best, okay?"
"Then what are you talking about? I told you I wasn't!" Xiang Sheng roared. "I changed my sister's diapers when she was born, and I fed her with porridge and milk. When she was in elementary school, I was the one who braided her hair for her talent show. I'm unhappy that she's dating, but what did I do wrong?"
Xiang Sheng became more and more agitated as she spoke, and finally covered her face in front of the camera, swallowing hard, her voice suddenly choked with emotion: "I watched her grow up, what's wrong with me being sad for a moment?"
Seeing that he was completely overwhelmed, his fans laughed and comforted him at the same time, turning into caring older sisters and starting to coax him.
Xiang Sheng's eyes grew redder as she spoke.
- A man's tears are indeed his greatest weapon; I actually feel a little sorry for my sisters.
- This video is going to go viral today. I can already imagine what those marketing accounts will say.
-If you're going to cry, don't stop streaming before you start crying. If word gets out, you'll be completely wiped out online tomorrow.
- Luckily, my sister doesn't watch live streams, otherwise, where would my handsome brother put his face?
After a while, Xiang Sheng calmed down a bit, but she was still drunk and started reminiscing with her fans about her and her sister's childhood.
He also mentioned that when his younger sister was in junior high school, she started reading romance novels, especially those about incest.
Many fans who also enjoy reading incestuous novels praised the younger sister for her good taste in the comments. Xiang Sheng scoffed and said that he was almost scared to death at the time, fearing that his younger sister might have some immoral or evil thoughts about him, her own brother.
The comments section was full of people saying he was overthinking it. Novels are novels, and reality is reality. People read novels for the thrill, but if they saw their own brother in real life, they would only want to strangle him.
Xiang Sheng chuckled softly and sighed, "My sister probably wants to strangle me too. I had her boyfriend have a couple of drinks with me today, and you wouldn't believe the way she looked at him, like she was terrified I'd do something to him."
"Her boyfriend? ...He's alright looking, I guess. I'm so handsome, would I allow her to date someone ugly? They were high school classmates, his grades...are okay, I heard his family is quite wealthy, so what more could I ask for?"
"...It's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's just that I feel like that little kid who used to have such short legs that she couldn't even climb the stairs and would say that her brother would carry her upstairs has suddenly grown up and has a boyfriend. From now on, she'll only let her boyfriend carry her."
Xiang Sheng casually grabbed a tissue, covered her nose and blew it, then said, "Does anyone here have younger siblings? Can anyone understand me?"
The comments section was filled with "I can understand having a younger sister" and "I can't understand having a younger brother." Xiang Sheng suddenly asked with concern, "What if my sister's boyfriend treats her badly in the future? Do you think my sister will blame me for meddling if I step in and intervene?"
Xiang Di's feelings were complicated.
She came to the live stream intending to expose her brother's dirty secrets, but unexpectedly discovered his true colors.
The live stream continued, and the live stream room became a gathering for netizens with siblings to empathize. When they were annoyed, they resented their parents for having another child and why they weren't only children.
But love is real love. Blood ties are an unbreakable bond. Some fans said that when they got married, their younger brother, whom they had argued with since childhood, cried his eyes out. Other fans said that their older sister was unhappy in her marriage and was harassed by her brother-in-law's family every day. She felt like she wanted to grab a kitchen knife and rush to her brother-in-law's house to chop them all up.
Xiang Sheng said he didn't know if he would cry his eyes out at his sister's wedding.
"In short, I hope Baijiaxing is a good man I can entrust my life to. Yes, my sister's boyfriend is named Baijiaxing."
With the comfort of her fans, Xiang Sheng calmed down and was able to joke around again. Xiang Di, on the other hand, quietly sniffed, and a small patch of her pillow was wet.
"Why are you crying?"
A sound suddenly came from behind her. Xiang Di quickly turned off her phone, wiped her eyes, and turned to look at him.
"...Weren't you asleep?"
"Someone is quietly crying next to me, how can I sleep?" Bai Jiangxin pulled her into his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and patted her back. "Didn't you say you don't usually cry? What's going on?"
Xiang Di smirked: "I never expected my brother to love me so much? I thought he was annoyed by me."
“Being annoyed by you and loving you are not contradictory,” Bai Jiangxin said.
Xiang Di suddenly asked, "Will you get annoyed with me?"
"If you don't go to sleep soon, I'll get annoyed with you." Bai Jiangxin sighed. "It's almost four o'clock, Miss."
Xiang Di nodded and closed her eyes.
Eighteen-year-old girls have so much energy. Even after being tossed and turned all night, she still couldn't fall asleep. There were many reasons why she couldn't sleep. First, it was the first time she had shared a bed with Bai Jiangxin. Sleeping in his arms and smelling his scent felt so new and exciting that she didn't want to fall asleep so soon. Second, she was deeply moved by Xiang Sheng's brotherly love for her.
With his eyes closed, Bai Jiangxin could still hear her muttering to herself. He raised his hand and covered her left chest with his palm.
Through the thin nightgown, he circled her left and right sides alternately, whispering in her ear, "With so much energy, how about we do it again?"
Men seem to be particularly infatuated with it, even Bai Jiangxin is no exception. Through the fabric, he could feel the fine, dense sensations, and his face flushed. He immediately surrendered: "No need, I'm going to sleep, I'll go to sleep right away."
She already had a feeling that walking tomorrow would be very uncomfortable.
Moreover, the way he treated her aroused her again. Xiang Di felt ashamed. In novels, the heroines would cry and say they couldn't finish after just one time. How come she couldn't satisfy him? Was she really that horny?
No, no, I can't let myself go, or I really won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow.
Bai Jiangxin silently smiled. He didn't tell her that if he continued to rub her, he wouldn't be able to stop either. To be frank, he was far more lustful than she imagined. He hadn't had enough in just one night.
Once she obediently closed her eyes, Bai Jiangxin placed his hand on the back of her head and gently stroked her hair.
Xiang Di said she likes having her hair touched like this; it has a ticklish feeling that is very comfortable and helps her sleep.
Her body was actually tired a long time ago, but her mind was still excited, which was why she couldn't fall asleep. Now that her mind was blank and she was being stroked so comfortably, she quickly fell asleep.
Once he had made sure she was asleep, Bai Jiangxin quietly looked at her for a while by the light of the bedside lamp, then kissed her forehead, cheeks, and lips.
Pulling his arm out, Bai Jiangxin used his phone to open Xiang Sheng's live stream.
The live stream is still going on. Xiang Sheng is very excited today, and seems determined to chat with her fans all night long.
Xiang Sheng was still babbling on and on when Bai Jiangxin listened quietly for a while. He then deposited some money into his account and started giving Xiang Sheng gifts.
After spending over a dozen carnival-themed items, Xiang Sheng surged to the top of the leaderboard, stunning Xiang Sheng and the fans in the live stream.
It wasn't a familiar fan, but a new viewer who hadn't even followed him. Big fans were flooding the screen with thanks for the gift. Xiang Sheng suddenly sobered up, cleared his throat, and started to get going: "Thank you to user 22454264946. I'll follow you first, and I'll message you privately after the broadcast."
User 22454264946: No need.
User 22454264946: Don't worry, I will treat her well.
Xiang Sheng was stunned for a moment.
Fans also felt that the big shot's reply was a bit subtle. Finally, a fan with a light stick of level 10 or so trembling typed: "...Is he my brother-in-law?"
User 22454264946: Hmm.
The live chat exploded.
-Holy crap?!
-Ahhhhhhhh
My brother-in-law is so rich!! He's keeping his brother-in-law as a mistress!!
The comments section was full of praise for the brother-in-law's generosity, except for Xiang Sheng, who looked like he'd swallowed a fly, and asked in a mixed tone, "Are you one of the Hundred Family Surnames?"
User 22454264946: Hmm.
Xiang Sheng still didn't believe it: "...You're not an imposter, are you?"
User 22454264946: How do you want me to prove it?
Xiang Sheng: "Dare to connect with me?"
So, the entire live stream, with over ten thousand viewers, heard the brother-in-law's clear, deep voice, like shattered ice colliding, the moment the connection was successfully established.
- Voice control is dead.
Brother, your future brother-in-law is really great! He's rich and has a nice voice. I agree to this marriage!
Upon seeing this comment, Xiang Sheng immediately retorted: "What do you agree to? Stop causing trouble."
He then asked Bai Jiangxin, "Are you watching my live stream about the Hundred Family Surnames?"
Bai Jiangxin: "Yes, I'm watching."
Xiang Sheng: "...Why are you watching my live stream in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
Bai Jiangxin: "Watch it with your sister."
The thought that his crying had been seen by his sister, and that it was so late and the two of them were still together, made Xiang Sheng's face turn pale and then dark.
The live stream was incredibly popular, and the chat was in complete chaos.
-Hey little sister, your brother is a meikong, did you see that? Your brother is a meikong.
-My sister and brother-in-law are still together so late? Oh no, my brother is going to lose his pearls again.
-Brother-in-law, your voice is so nice, are you a voice actor?
Bai Jiangxin: "No."
-Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, what is your sister's reaction after seeing how much you love her?
Bai Jiangxin said meaningfully, "She was frightened."
Xiang Sheng opened her mouth, her face and ears turning red, unable to speak for a long time. The comments section was filled with people interacting with her brother-in-law. They didn't want to hear about the daily life of the siblings anymore; they only wanted to hear about the daily love life of her brother-in-law and sister.
Bai Jiangxin used only one move to completely suppress his brother-in-law, yelled at Xiang Sheng, "You bunch of traitors!" and cut off the connection, angrily ending the broadcast.
-
The next day, as expected, Xiang Sheng's live stream clip went viral and became a trending topic.
A well-known blogger known for his good looks, comedic talent, and sister complex found out his sister was in a relationship. The blogger was devastated and went live in the middle of the night to cry to his fans. Coincidentally, his sister and brother-in-law saw the live stream. The sister was moved, and the brother-in-law immediately sent more than a dozen virtual gifts to show his loyalty to his brother-in-law.
The news spread like wildfire among various marketing accounts, and Xiang Sheng cut off his internet for half a month. It wasn't until someone started digging into his brother-in-law's account that he finally posted a video, implying that he didn't care if netizens wanted to make fun of him, but they shouldn't pay too much attention to his family.
Xiang Sheng asked Bai Jiangxin to delete that account, and then disappeared for half a month. He said he went out to work with his mentor, but in reality he sat in the lab every day and didn't go home because he didn't know how to face Xiang Di.
Xiang Di knew why her brother was avoiding her, so she didn't bother him. During the month her brother went into hiding, everyone in the law school at R University knew that Xiang Di's boyfriend was the most handsome guy in the finance department at the neighboring Yan University.
The reason is simple: Xiang Di's boyfriend often comes to R University to see her, and he has Xiang Di's campus card, so he can freely enter and exit the teaching buildings.
The most high-profile incident occurred during a large lecture on general principles of criminal law. In a large lecture hall with hundreds of people, the professor was lecturing well when he noticed that some people's attention was outside the classroom. He looked out as well and saw a boy standing outside.
Tall and elegant, with the air of a law student, the professor mistook her for a late student and called her in.
"Which class are you in, classmate? I've never seen you in my class before."
If he had taken his class, based on criminal profiling techniques, it would be impossible for the professor not to remember this student.
Xiang Di was so shy that she couldn't lift her head. Her classmates were all laughing. Finally, someone said, "Teacher, he is Xiang Di's boyfriend from the second law class. He came to pick up his girlfriend after class."
The professor suddenly realized.
After class, Xiang Di grabbed her bag and, before the other students had left, rushed out of the classroom first, head down, and took her boyfriend's hand.
This incident made Xiang Di's boyfriend famous throughout R University's law school, and soon after, Xiang Di also became famous at her boyfriend's school.
On one occasion, she went to Yenching University to pick up Bai Jiangxin and go out to eat with her high school friends. The entrance to Guanghua College was not large. She stood quietly under the lush golden ginkgo trees, petite and beautiful, looking down at her phone. Someone took a picture of her and posted it on the Yenching University forum, asking for help to get her out of trouble.
Dozens of comments, some people said this girl doesn't seem to be from our school.
As a result, someone posted a screenshot in response to the cave owner at noon that same day.
The screenshot is from the WeChat Moments of the most popular guy in the finance department. He posted a photo of a girl standing under a ginkgo tree making a peace sign, with a very simple caption: "Girlfriend".
The girls in the photos are the same, even their clothes are identical, except one photo was taken secretly, and the other was taken openly.
#1554798: == Is this a coincidence? You rescued someone this morning, and our department's heartthrob officially announced it on WeChat Moments at noon.
#1554799: The cave owner is so pitiful, hahaha.
#1554800: Thank you, OP. I remember during military training, a senior student asked BJX for his contact information. He said he had a girlfriend who was at R University next door and rarely came to our school. OP, you provoked him, and BJX made it official. Now we finally know what his girlfriend looks like. Great, great.
Later, the owner of the forum posted another rant, saying that he felt like he had become an NPC in someone else's love story.
Only students of Yanda University can log in to the university's "Confession Hole" using their student ID numbers, so Xiang Di had no idea about it. She only knew that Bai Jiangxin suddenly wanted to take a picture of her that day, and after taking the picture, he asked her to edit it herself. After she finished editing, he posted it on his WeChat Moments.
Ye Minjia only saw the post on WeChat Moments after lunch was almost over, and then told Liang Qianqian and Wang Sichen about it.
The post received over two hundred likes. Bai Jiangxin doesn't like socializing and only has about two hundred WeChat friends. Almost all of his high school and college classmates liked it, and even Zhou Linxiao, who is far away on the other side of the ocean, liked it and left a message wishing them a long and healthy life.
After officially announcing his relationship, Bai Jiangxin asked his girlfriend to post one as well. Xiang Di readily agreed, picking and choosing among the photos. Suffering from decision paralysis, she asked Bai Jiangxin which one to post. Bai Jiangxin replied, "Post this one."
Xiang Di glanced at it, his face flushing. The photo he had chosen was from their senior year of high school, the one where they accidentally kissed in his father's car.
She firmly refused: "No."
Bai Jiangxin: "What's wrong?"
Xiang Di leaned close to his ear and said, "Posting these kinds of photos in public on WeChat Moments... feels too high-profile, I can't do it."
She can't control other couples, but she and Bai Jiangxin are the kind of couples who have to check if there are any people they know nearby before they can even hold hands in public. They can be as affectionate as they want in private, but she's really embarrassed to do it in front of other people.
Bai Jiangxin looked slightly displeased. Someone hadn't broken the bad habit of having a crush on someone, and was even hesitant to make an official announcement.
He smirked, reached out and lifted her chin, pressing it against her lips.
Ye Minjia and the others stared at them with expressions of "What are you doing?" Xiang Di also stared at him blankly: "What are you doing?"
"Let me help you get used to the feeling of being high-profile," Bai Jiangxin said casually. "Send the photos."
Xiang Di: "..."
