So what if she's an ordinary girl? She still gets her older brother to fight for the top spot o

Zhang Xiaoyu and Shu Han spent two or three hours browsing clothing stores, picking out several outfits for each other. When they got tired, they went to a coffee shop to sit down and enjoy the air conditioning.

"Xiaohan, there's something I need to tell you," Zhang Xiaoyu said earnestly.

Shu Han cut the dessert in front of her in half and gave one half to Zhang Xiaoyu, who reciprocated.

"Well, you said."

Zhang Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed but also excited, with a bright light in her eyes: "I'm doing a live stream this week."

Shu Han was taken aback: "Live stream?"

"Yes, I'm a live streamer on the Starlight app."

Shu Han was indeed somewhat surprised, but she was more interested in understanding why Xiao Yu wanted to become a streamer, her feelings, and whether she had encountered any difficulties.

Hearing Shu Han's concerned inquiry, Zhang Xiaoyu happily began to explain: "It was one of my roommates. She happened to see that her high school classmate made money doing live streaming during the summer vacation, and then she shared the news with us..."

"Xiaohan, you know my dad has been unemployed for over a month, so I want to do what I can. If I can find some part-time work to cover my living expenses, that would be great..."

"Then I saw how to make money through live streaming, and I got a little envious, so I gave it a try without thinking. The result exceeded my expectations!"

Seeing the smile on her friend's face, Shu Han felt a little relieved and asked, "Did you make any money?"

"The people watching the live stream on Starlight are so rich! Xiaohan, you can't even imagine it. I wouldn't have dared to imagine it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes!"

Zhang Xiaoyu thought about the amazing gifts she had received in the past few days: "To receive tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan worth of gifts in just one PK, such a scene is truly shocking!"

Shu Han: "So how many gifts did you receive?"

Zhang Xiaoyu raised her index and middle fingers, somewhat excitedly: "Two million! I received a gift worth two million!"

In front of her friend, Zhang Xiaoyu made no attempt to hide her emotions, revealing all her feelings. She was just an ordinary person, and a college student who hadn't even left the ivory tower yet; it would be a lie to say she wasn't excited.

Shu Han, who was usually calm, was surprised at this moment, but after her surprise, she smiled and said, "Xiao Yu is very capable."

When her best friend praised her, Zhang Xiaoyu happily shook her head: "No, it was really just luck, because I met a really awesome older brother."

Shu Han didn't understand much about live streaming, but in this information age, she understood terms like "big brother," "big sister," and "super rich"—these were wealthy people who could spend a lot of money on gifts.

"Won't doing live streams be very tiring?"

Zhang Xiaoyu: "I don't feel it's too hard. I just sit in front of my phone, chat with my viewers, sing some songs, and sometimes play against other streamers."

"That's about it. I was incredibly lucky. During my second live stream, I met a really generous guy who gifted me over 170 million RMB worth of gifts in just one week!"

"I was terrified! I feel like I don't deserve so many gifts at all."

Shu Han: "The fact that he's willing to spend so much money means you're worthy of him."

Shu Han had some doubts and hesitations. Of course, she hoped that her friend could earn a huge sum of money by doing some easy part-time jobs, and it would be even better if it were as simple as winning the lottery.

But such a huge return does sound a bit unsettling.

"It just sounds like your income is a bit unstable. Little Fish, you can receive two million in gifts this week, but next week... if not, I hope you can get through it with a calm mindset."

Zhang Xiaoyu chuckled: "You don't need to worry about that, Xiaohan. I know all this. Live streaming is probably one of the most unstable industries in the world. Right now, my revenue might be in the millions, but the next moment it could be zero."

"I would say that the results so far have exceeded all my expectations, and I will not take them for granted in the future."

Shu Han nodded in relief upon hearing this, but there was still one thing she was concerned about: "Xiao Yu, what kind of person is that big brother who gave you over a million yuan worth of gifts all by himself?"

"Ah, this question... I feel like it's really hard for you to answer," Zhang Xiaoyu wrinkled her nose and thought, but in the end she shook her head.

"We only interact online. The other person can see my image on their phone screen, while I can only see their comments through text. Does that mean we know each other?"

Zhang Xiaoyu felt that if she only had some online communication with someone, and even if it was for a very short time, she wouldn't think they knew each other.

However, she was somewhat different from Zhiyan Ge because she received a huge sum of money from him.

Shu Han: "I don't think this counts as knowing each other."

"Yeah, I think so too. Maybe if we have more time, we can be considered to know each other."

Shu Han: "I heard that the audience on these live streaming platforms is actually not stable, and they may leave at any time."

Shu Han frowned and said softly, "Actually, I'm a little worried. What if you experience something like this in the future and get hurt as a result?"

Zhang Xiaoyu was stunned, then grasped Shu Han's hand that was resting on the table. Their warmth passed between them, and she looked intently at Shu Han as she spoke:

"Don't worry about me getting hurt. Actually, most streamers are prepared for this from the very beginning, and so am I."

"Even if they leave one day, and my eldest brother leaves too, I might be a little sad, but after all, the most important purpose is to make money."

"I've already earned a lot of money for me, so even if I suffer some setbacks, I'll ultimately be happier than hurt, so I haven't lost out."

Zhang Xiaoyu felt she had a talent for comforting her friends, and Shu Han felt much more at ease after hearing her words.

But I still repeatedly told her that she must remember to call me anytime, especially when she is injured.

Zhang Xiaoyu nodded seriously in agreement.

They went out for hot pot for dinner and had a great time. In the end, they reluctantly parted ways at the bus stop.

It was quite late when she got back, so Zhang Xiaoyu didn't go live again until Tuesday night.

But this time only the Queen was there, and Zhang Xiaoyu didn't think much of it. After all, some people had to go to work and some had to go to school, and it was impossible for everyone to watch her live stream.

The Queen and Fanzi arrived the next evening, but Lonely Island and Paper Inkstone were still absent.

Suddenly, several strange comments appeared in her live stream.

Is my older brother not here today either? Did he run away a while ago?

[Maybe they regretted spending over a million last time.]

[I checked and the guy didn't delete his account, he just hasn't been online for the past few days.]

[He might have quit the internet, or he might have registered a new account. Maybe he's at home drinking and feeling frustrated.]

[Could it be a fake super-rich person? I got excited for nothing.]

[Queen Arrives: Maybe President Yan is just busy. Big Brother and Big Sister also have careers in the real world; they can't be online all day.]

[Fan is really useful: Yes, don't worry, host. You see, I'm a student, and sometimes I'm busy with classes and can't come sometimes.]

"I'm fine. Brother Gudao and Brother Zhiyan are probably busy, much busier than I am as a student," Zhang Xiaoyu said with a smile.

But deep down, she couldn't say she had no worries at all.

They didn't come on Thursday and Friday because they had too many classes, they didn't come on Saturday, and we didn't see them on Sunday either.

Zhang Xiaoyu pursed her lips, feeling somewhat lost. Had they really left?
