Chapter 231 I am Xu Xinghe
Ji Wanqing faced the camera, trying her best to maintain a smile, but her eyes were already somewhat unfocused.
"Um... thank you, Brother Lonely Island, but... I just ate some cookies and fruit, so I'm not really hungry... and... um... it's getting late..."
[It's okay, if you're not hungry, then get some rest.]
He didn't insist, but considerately offered a way out.
[Island Guy is amazing!]
[A strategic retreat! Who could resist that?!]
[Her face turned bright red even though it was sunny!]
Ji Wanqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "But anyway, thank you for the invitation, Brother Lonely Island."
She glanced at the time and quickly changed the subject, "Then let's play one last game and then end the stream. Everyone should get some rest!"
Ji Wanqing quickly opened the last game, trying to end this stressful live stream as soon as possible.
Perhaps the older players sensed her desire to end the stream, or perhaps the continuous high-intensity matches had left everyone somewhat exhausted, as this last game turned out to be unusually peaceful.
The team compositions have become less confrontational, returning to more conventional team-oriented lineups.
Blank picked a utility ADC, Finish Line picked a team-oriented map control jungler, Flying Bark picked a tanky top laner, and Clear Jungle continued to use his steady mage to hold the mid lane.
Ji Wanqing also chose a support character that was relatively easy to operate.
During the match, although the players' basic skills and awareness were still on point, the intense competitive feeling that was so strong that they wanted to set the screen on fire had faded considerably.
Finish Line no longer camps in the bottom lane, Blank steadily develops and waits for team fights, Don't bark safely tanks damage in the front line, and Qingye continues to use his signals to protect the team.
[Huh? The art style suddenly changed in the last game?]
[It seems like the guys have all become quite laid-back?]
Are you tired too?
Ji Wanqing was happy to relax, playing the support role and following behind her teammates, occasionally providing crowd control or buffs, no longer needing to be highly mentally stressed to deal with various unexpected situations.
The game progressed smoothly towards victory in an atmosphere of almost peaceful development.
The moment the enemy base exploded, Ji Wanqing spoke almost immediately, her tone light and relieved.
"We won! Thank you everyone! Thank you all for being with us tonight! Six wins tonight, exceeding our target! I'm so happy!"
She spoke a little fast, and before the comments section could erupt or the older guys could say anything more, she continued.
That's all for today's live stream! Everyone, get some rest, goodnight!
After saying that, she waved at the camera, gave a slightly tired but still sweet smile, and then quickly turned off the live streaming app.
The screen went black instantly.
Ji Wanqing glanced at the unfinished cookies and fruit from Gudao on the table, then thought of the several different but equally troublesome older brothers in the game, and finally remembered Gudao's thoughtful invitation to a late-night snack...
She rubbed her temples, deciding to temporarily put these chaotic thoughts behind her.
Right now, all she wants to do is rest.
-
Half a month passed quietly with the tapping of fingers and keyboard and the company of everyone in the live broadcast room.
Ji Wanqing's live-streaming life seems to have entered a new normal. After several people successively broke the ice, the atmosphere sometimes became increasingly strange.
The good thing is that they still respect her and won't make a big fuss.
Ji Wanqing carefully maintained this fragile balance, and her live streaming career steadily rose. However, occasionally after ending her broadcast late at night, looking at the quiet night outside the window, she would feel a sense of disorientation, as if she were juggling multiple relationships.
I had just woken up when I saw the message from Starlight.
Shining Stars [Sister Sunny, I'm back in Beijing! The platform's almost done. Do you have time to meet up today?]
During this time, Xingguang frequently updated her on the progress of the new platform, which has been developing steadily. The preliminary publicity work has been almost completed, and they are just waiting for the platform to be launched.
Ji Wanqing was deeply disappointed by Boiling Point's actions and had already signed a contract with Starlight's new platform, so there was no need for her to refuse. She readily agreed.
SunnyTuanTuan: [Okay, send me the time and address.]
Starlight replied almost instantly, sending her an address.
The stars are shining brightly! [See you at 2 PM!]
Following this was a meme of a puppy wagging its tail with bright, sparkling eyes, adding to the sense of anticipation.
Ji Wanqing looked at the address; it was a rather elegant coffee shop, which she had been to before.
She put down her phone, feeling a mix of curiosity and anticipation.
Both publicly and privately, this meeting was of great significance.
In the afternoon, Ji Wanqing specially chose a simple but appropriate dress, put on light makeup, and arrived at the agreed coffee shop on time.
The waiter led her to a booth by the window, and from a distance, she saw a very conspicuous figure.
The man was wearing a simple white T-shirt and sweatpants. Even when he was sitting, you could tell he was extremely tall, almost 190 cm, which matched his game ID.
He seemed to have just taken a shower; his hair was still slightly damp, with a few stray strands casually falling across his forehead. He was looking down intently at his phone, his profile sharp and clean, exuding youthful vigor and energy.
Seemingly sensing her gaze, he looked up.
It was an extremely sunny and handsome face, with deep-set eyes, a high nose bridge, beautifully curved lips, and healthy wheat-colored skin.
The moment he saw Ji Wanqing, his eyes lit up like stars ignited in an instant. He immediately stood up, a radiant smile spreading across his face, revealing two small tiger teeth, a mixture of boyish shyness and obvious excitement.
"Sister Qingtian!" His voice was clear and bright, full of his unique energy, as he quickly came to greet her. "You're here! Over here!"
The way he called her "sister" was so natural and affectionate, and combined with his tall stature and bright smile, it created a wonderfully endearing contrast.
Ji Wanqing's initial slight nervousness dissipated considerably in the face of his overwhelming youthful aura.
"Starlight?" Ji Wanqing smiled and walked over. "Hello, I'm Ji Wanqing."
"I know! I'm Xu Xinghe!" He hurriedly introduced himself, leading her to a seat with swift movements. "Sister, you look even better than on the live stream!"
His praise was direct and sincere, and his eyes were clear, making it impossible for anyone to feel offended.
The two sat down, and Xu Xinghe had obviously made preparations in advance, having already ordered several exquisite-looking snacks and two drinks. He pushed one of the drinks, which looked like a fruit tea, in front of Ji Wanqing.
"My sister said that girls might like this flavor because it's not too sweet. Why don't you try it?"
