Chapter 105 - 98: Caught Red-Handed on Live Stream

Chapter 105: Chapter 98: Caught Red-Handed on Live Stream

He thought she hadn’t even read his book.

He never expected her to be quietly promoting it for him. Xiao Ran found it a little hard to believe.

In the screenshot, Yan Xici was sitting in a hanging chair, swinging back and forth as she chatted with everyone.

She looked especially beautiful today, and the dark circles under her eyes were completely gone.

But none of that was important. What was important was that in the comments section, quite a few people were calling her "wife."

Seeing this, Xiao Ran sucked in a sharp breath.

’These people are so shameless!’

’Calling a pretty girl "wife" the moment they see one!’

’They have absolutely no filter!’

Xiao Ran lost all interest in chatting in the group. He decisively exited the chat and quickly opened Little Broken Station.

He found Yan Xici’s live stream and clicked on it at the speed of light.

The girl in the video had almond-shaped eyes that seemed to hold fragmented starlight. Her eyelashes were curled and lovely, and her smile was brilliant and sweet, as bright as a summer sunflower.

She was happily chatting back and forth with everyone.

The sun was bright, and her voice was sweet and clear.

It had to be said that just watching her was a visual treat.

Xiao Ran stared intently at the screen, waiting to see what else she would say.

The girl continued, "I’m telling you, this book is really good. The only downside is that the updates are infrequent, but I read it every night myself."

The moment she finished speaking, the bullet comments went wild.

Mingming: Then why don’t you stream every day so we can discuss our thoughts on the book?

Baibai: Yeah, yeah.

Seeing the bullet comments, the girl’s smile grew even brighter. ’If that’s the case, it’s not a bad idea at all!’

"Sure, but you have to promise to read the book seriously."

The girl looked at the camera with a serious expression, the fragmented starlight in her eyes inspiring feelings of wonder with just a single glance.

When she was introducing his book, her eyes held an indescribable earnestness.

It wasn’t hard to see that she genuinely hoped everyone would go read the book.

At that moment, Xiao Ran’s heart melted, and an urge to hold her washed over him.

The feeling was a clear message to himself: he wanted her.

’Honestly, having someone who treats me so well appear in my life is truly a wonderful thing.’

And that was exactly what Xiao Ran was feeling now.

However, being moved was one thing, and feeling happy was another, but being angry was also very real.

’Who gave them permission to call her "wife"?!’

’He hadn’t even called her that yet!’

A sour feeling spread through Xiao Ran’s heart, leaving a bad taste in his mouth. He was jealous!

Xiao Ran decisively joined the army of bullet comments.

Yiran Zide: Stop calling her "wife," it’s not like she’ll become yours if you do.

Yiran Zide: Keep calling her "wife" and you might just end up with no wife of your own!

For some reason, seeing so many people call Yan Xici "wife" made it feel as if Xiao Ran’s inner jar of vinegar had been knocked over in an instant.

He might seem magnanimous usually, but when it came to the person he liked, he couldn’t help but be petty.

’Even if we’re not together, they can’t call her wife!!!’

When she saw that comment, the girl who had been smiling brightly just a moment ago felt her eyelid twitch.

’Why is that name so familiar?’

’Brother Xiao Ran?????’

She swallowed hard, her beautiful eyes instantly filling with astonishment. It was no exaggeration to say that even her smile had petrified.

’He actually showed up in my comment section?????’

’Stay calm. Don’t panic. What if it’s not him?’

With that thought, she clung to a sliver of hope and clicked on the person’s profile.

She desperately tried to find proof that it wasn’t Xiao Ran.

However, reality was cruel.

Because whenever Xiao Ran watched Little Broken Station, he basically only watched writing-related content, like videos about writing experience, practical tips, and things like that.

And the videos all had titles, making it incredibly easy to confirm.

Combined with that username, who else could it be but Xiao Ran?

The girl was so nervous now that the sides of her nose and her forehead were starting to bead with sweat.

It wasn’t that she was afraid of Brother Xiao Ran discovering she was promoting his book, but that so many people were calling her "wife"!

She was genuinely worried now that Xiao Ran would think she was a promiscuous woman!

Many fans would call her "wife." At first, Yan Xici had been quite unhappy about it, since she had never even met them in person.

But there was nothing she could do; there were just too many of them. In the beginning, she would try to explain, but later she couldn’t be bothered and just got used to it.

’God knows how much I regret not stopping them one by one!!!’

’Waaah, I could just die from crying.’

’I’m not that kind of person.’

’I should have known better than to stream today! For this to happen during this stream... just great!’

The more the girl thought about it, the more flustered she became.

The bullet comments in the stream continued to fly by.

Little Sheep: Did Cici see a ghost? Why does she look so upset?

Old Big Bro: Yeah, what’s wrong? Weren’t you just laughing and talking a second ago?

I Don’t Love You: Wife, what’s the matter with you?

The girl was already nervous, and this one "wife" made her so angry her mind went completely blank.

Yiran Zide: I already said not to call her "wife." I advise you not to be so stubborn.

’What was that name?’

’I Don’t Love You, was it?’

’I’ll make you a villain in my novel and kill you off in minutes!’

Little did Xiao Ran know, his one sentence had managed to provoke public outrage.

Chouchou’s Dad: Bro, are you just mad because you can’t get her?

Be Magnanimous: Do you really think if I stop calling her wife, she’ll become your wife?

Keke Aiai: LMAO.

Mingming Baibian: It’s just a joke, bro. Why are you getting so worked up?

Xiao Ran felt his blood pressure rising from anger. ’If she doesn’t become my wife, is she supposed to become his instead?’

The nervous girl felt things were getting more and more out of hand as she watched.

Afraid that Brother Xiao Ran would get even angrier with her, she forgot she was even live and hurriedly apologized.

"Brother, um, they’re all just messing around, please don’t be angry."

The nervous girl adopted an apologetic posture, looking utterly sincere, her voice filled with an indescribable tension.

’I really am not that kind of promiscuous woman! If Brother Xiao Ran misunderstands, all my efforts will be for nothing. The person I like is truly him and him alone!’

Seeing the girl’s nervous appearance, the bullet comments instantly erupted.

I Love You: What’s the situation here?

Darling: Brother-in-law?

Following that, the chat was flooded, as if someone was spamming the screen. In an instant, nearly everyone was greeting the "brother-in-law."

Only one bullet comment from a user named "I’m Really A Cutie" stood out.

Do you guys think it’s possible that this "brother" isn’t just a brother in the simple sense, but a boyfriend?

It had to be said, this comment was perfectly timed. It made Xiao Ran feel refreshed all over, like a breath of fresh air.

He let out a long breath. ’Finally, someone who gets it.’

On the other hand, the girl who saw the bullet comment felt her little face flush instantly. After all, the truth is always too glaring, and the more you care about something, the more you fear others will say it out loud.

She felt like she was being roasted over a fire.

The feeling was absolutely lethal; it was like being exposed in front of everyone!

On stream, she had no idea what to say. She even felt that if this continued, her "fox’s tail" would be exposed any second.

In her panic, she felt her heart about to leap out of her throat. ’This is too intense! It’s a total test of my heart rate!’ Her throat went dry and her mind went blank, her only thought a desperate need for water. She decisively clicked the "End Stream" button and then hurried over toward the dining table.

Staring at the black screen and the words "The stream has ended," Xiao Ran was lost in thought.

’Why did she stop streaming?’

’Did I say something wrong?’

’I don’t think so. All I did was tell others not to call her "wife." Why would she get angry about that?’

Actually, Xiao Ran wasn’t really angry at Yan Xici. He could understand this kind of situation. It’s easy to control yourself, but impossible to control others.

Especially fans and the like.

He just purely couldn’t stand seeing it!

She was the person he liked, after all, but he couldn’t exactly say that.

He thought for a moment, then took out his phone and sent Yan Xici a message on WeChat.

Xiao Ran: Why’d you stop streaming?
