Pretty young anchorwoman: Big brother, come into my bowl!

Xu Qingyi seemed to have slept soundly through the afternoon nap.

It felt like the screen had only been dark for a short while, and the blankets, still warm from the little lion's body, had just gotten cozy when Xu Qingyi's phone started buzzing again.

She groggily reached under her pillow, squinted, and saw the words "Wan Yu" flashing on the screen.

"Hello... Wanyu?" Xu Qingyi's voice was still heavy with sleepiness, like unmelted honey.

"Oh dear, Rongrong, are you still sleeping?" Wanyu's voice on the other end of the phone was tinged with surprise.

"Ah!" Xu Qingyi suddenly woke up a little, struggled to sit up, and rubbed her eyes. "What time is it? I...I went to bed a little late last night..."

"It's almost seven o'clock, you lazybones!" Wanyu laughed on the other end. "Hurry up and get ready, have some food, and then go online. I'll be waiting for you!"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Qingyi let out a wail, shoved herself back into the pillow for three seconds, and then resignedly got up.

After a quick wash, I casually threw on a loose and comfortable sweatshirt, haphazardly tied my frizzy hair into a small bun, made myself a bowl of noodles, and then sat in front of the camera with my clean, bare face.

That's right, she didn't even bother with makeup this time.

"Hello everyone~ Good afternoon." Xu Qingyi waved at the camera, yawned slightly, and a few tears welled up in the corner of her eyes. After thinking for a moment, she realized that this was not quite right, so she changed her words: "Good evening. I was just dragged out of bed by Wan Yu's urgent call. Luckily, I'm not late."

The live stream was still quite popular, with comments scrolling by rapidly.

[Did you actually sleep until now, Hagi-kun? (Grim face)]

【Good evening, honey! Our little Rongbao is so soft after just waking up!】

[Genius Sheep: Hmm, not late, worthy of praise (solemn)]

[Rongrong's Wife's Duck: My wife is stunning even without makeup!]

[Rongbao's little tail: Haven't you eaten yet, baby?]

[Kuzifeifei: My wife looks so cute when she's not fully awake, I want to pet her!]

[Shy male baboon: Wan Yu is definitely urging us to finish work (doge emoji)]

"Hehe, I'm about to eat now~" Xu Qingyi picked up her chopsticks, stirred the noodles, and smiled at the camera. "I made an appointment with Wanyu for a two-person game today, so I can't keep her waiting."

She held the little lion cub lying on her lap, petting it while chatting with her viewers. The topics were lighthearted, ranging from what she ate for lunch to how much weight the little lion cub had gained, and then to complaining about the bizarre things that happened in her life yesterday.

Unexpectedly, many fans felt the same way.

They had finished chatting and slurped up all the noodles. Xu Qingyi glanced at the time; only half an hour had passed. "Alright, alright, the time is just right."

She deftly tapped the PK invitation and readily accepted the request to connect with Wanyu.

They were probably waiting for her invitation too, because they answered quickly.

The screen split in two, and Wan Yu's gentle smiling face appeared on the other side. Today, she was wearing a smoky gray fitted knit sweater, and her long hair was smoothly draped over her shoulders, making her look gentle and homely.

"Good evening, Rongrong! And good evening, Rongbao's babies!" Wanyu said softly.

"Good evening, Wanyu! Is everyone ready?" Xu Qingyi clenched her little fist with great energy.

Good evening, Little Fish's Wife!

Double the happiness!

[Let's fight! Let's fight! (Just kidding)]

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two quickly got down to business.

As usual, we set up a ten-minute PK round, with the loser having to perform a simple talent as punishment.

The health bar lights up, and the countdown begins!

The start was relatively harmonious, with both sides actively casting their votes. Although Xu Qingyi's side lacked a top spender, they were temporarily leading in votes.

She didn't urge the ticket seller too much, chatting casually while holding the little lion, occasionally acting cute: "The little lion says Mommy can't lose, or there won't be any more canned food, right?"

The little lion shook its head and meowed.

Wan Yu remained calm and gentle, gently appealing for votes: "Family members, please give the streamer a little heart and cheer her on."

Several familiar IDs in her family also started to rank up, and their votes steadily increased.

Coincidentally, her eldest brother, the breadwinner of her family, was also not there.

That makes sense, since it was just a spontaneous gathering at noon, and neither of them intended to go all out.

Halfway through the year, the gap has widened.

Perhaps due to the large number of viewers in the live stream, Xu Qingyi had a clear advantage in votes.

Looking at her lagging health bar, Wan Yu smiled helplessly and typed in the public chat: 【Rongbao's team is too powerful, the streamer has to admit defeat (╥﹏╥)】

【YuYu's wife, don't give up!】

[Go YuYu!]

Unfortunately, nothing unexpected happened until the very end.

Xu Qingyi undoubtedly won this PK.

Wan Yu laughed: "We suffered a crushing defeat. Please, Miss Rong, go easy on us."

A person who isn't usually mischievous can be quite effective when they suddenly act mischievous. Just like now, Xu Qingyi couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth and agreed very quickly.

"Alright, alright, is that even a question?"

[My little sister's tail is practically wagging so high, hahaha!]

[It's a pity Rabbit and the others weren't there, I missed it (laughs while covering face)]

Xu Qingyi was thinking about what cute little talent Wanyu would perform later when a comment suddenly appeared on the screen with a familiar ID—Jin Duoduo.

【Golden Blooms (Shining Version): Playing? Invite me in!~】

Xu Qingyi was taken aback: "Huh?"

The live chat exploded:

[Holy crap? Jin Duoduo???]

【What the heck is this "Shining Edition"? Hahaha】

[A sequel to the ex-husband's literary works? (bishi)]

Before Xu Qingyi could react, Jin Duoduo seemed impatient and sent several more private messages to Green Bubble: [Sister Rong! Urgent help needed! Seeking refuge!]

It was followed by a string of dazzling star emojis.

Although she has met a few streamers on the new platform in the past two days, her family is not particularly well-off, so she can't afford to play with them even if she wanted to.

But how can that be? She's hoping to make a name for herself on Douyin (TikTok), and it wouldn't be good if she ended up not even as good as Whale (another Douyin influencer).

Xu Qingyi glanced at Wanyu and decided to deal with the immediate matter first. She quickly sent a message to Jin Duoduo to wait a moment, then looked up and said, "Wanyu, do ten squats."

Ten squats is considered a lot of easing off.

Wan Yu finished quickly.

Then Xu Qingyi typed in the public chat: 【Rongbao, you should talk to her first. She seems really anxious. We can play again next time~】

After saying that, he considerately cut off the connection.

"Ah, Wanyu..." Xu Qingyi felt a little embarrassed watching Wanyu disappear from the screen, but then Jin Duoduo's request came in again. She reluctantly answered, "Hello, Duoduo? What are you up to now?"

The screen instantly split in two. Jin Duoduo on the other side had changed her style today, wearing a black camisole adorned with sequins, her hair tied in a high ponytail, and her face painted with slightly exaggerated stage makeup. She looked radiant, as if she had just run out from backstage at some music festival.

"Hello! Sister Rong! Long time no see, I've missed you so much!" Jin Duoduo waved energetically as soon as the call connected, her voice clear and bright.

"Hey sis! I just started my stream and was looking for some entertainment, and when I saw you doing a PK battle, I shamelessly came to you for help! Shall we play a game? If I lose, I'll do a handstand and wash my hair for your viewers!"

【Sister Duo's outfit... is so sparkly!】

Washing your hair upside down?! Dodo, you're really brave!

[That's great, Jin Duoduo has got the show's entertainment value figured out (doge)]
