17: Come on, try to lie to me! - 2

Sure enough, a few minutes later, the WeChat notification sounded; the friend request had been accepted.

The other party's WeChat name was "Yaoyao," and her profile picture was a beautiful woman with a hot body and a pure face—at a glance, it was clearly just a random photo found online.

Yaoyao: 【?】

Jiang Ye: 【I'm here to give you some business.】

Yaoyao: 【?】

Yaoyao: 【Whose alt account are you?】

Yaoyao: 【Forget it, doesn't matter whose. Come and gift some stuff.】

Immediately after, she sent over a link to a TikTok live stream room.

Jiang Ye looked at the message, a row of question marks slowly appearing above his head.

What the hell did she mean by "gift some stuff"?

Gift what?

Are scammers so bold and confident nowadays?

Or is it because I came to her voluntarily that she didn't even bother pretending and went straight to the point?

He habitually copied the link and switched to TikTok.

The page jumped, entering a live stream room named "Wen Yus Girlfriend."

A notification floated across the screen: 【Brother Ye has entered the live stream room via Yaoyao's shared link.】

There were no real people on camera in the live stream room; instead, there were eight anime Girl avatars lined up, each with a name and a score labeled underneath.

A pleasant female voice with a strong youthful vibe rang out: "Oh, you're here?"

Following that was a slightly lazy mature voice: "Hmm? Calling for backup? Is someone coming for revenge?"

The youthful voice chuckled: "I don't even know who this is. He added me out of the blue. Probably some big brother's alt account, right?"

Jiang Ye was a bit dazed by this unfamiliar live stream format.

He clicked the chat box below and began typing:

Brother Ye: 【What is... this?】

As soon as he sent that, several female voices in the room giggled simultaneously, their tones teasing:

"Yaoyao, is your little brother pretending to be a newbie?"

"He even specifically used a Level 0 alt account. He really knows how to play."

"Tsk, he's the type who likes foreplay."

Jiang Ye noticed that whenever someone spoke, a light ring around their corresponding anime avatar would light up.

And that Yaoyao was the third avatar in the first row.

However, her current voice was completely different from the cold female voice he had heard in the elevator that day; it was sweet, enthusiastic, and full of vitality.

Yaoyao ignored the Sisters' teasing and let out a long "Oh~~": "I know who you are! You're Brother Chu! Right?"

Jiang Ye typed: 【No.】

Yaoyao: "Is it Phoenix then?"

Jiang Ye: 【No.】

"Ajie?" "Young Master Kai?" "Brother Long?" ... Jiang Ye: "..."

Good grief!

This Girl has quite a few clients. Is she the top salesperson?

He didn't know if these names were her online "big brothers" or her offline "patrons"... Jiang Ye interrupted her: 【Alright, stop guessing. It's my first time here.】

Yaoyao pressed further: "Then how did you add my WeChat?"

Jiang Ye didn't bother answering and opened the gift menu at the bottom of the screen.

He had been a bit dazed just now, but now he roughly understood. This "Lili/Yaoyao" didn't seem to be doing traditional online dating scams, but was actually a streamer.

Specifically, a no-face voice chat room streamer who relied purely on her voice and chat interaction.

However, in essence, there wasn't much difference; they were all out to get money from big brothers.

Seeing that he didn't reply in the room, Yaoyao sent another WeChat message: 【How did you add my WeChat?】

Jiang Ye looked at the gift menu and rubbed his chin.

He had heard that streamers were all about "emotional value" and "the long game." He might as well spend some money to test the waters and see what this "Lili offline, Yaoyao online" Girl was really about.

He clicked the recharge page and topped up 10 yuan.

Returning to the room, he clicked Yaoyao's avatar and sent a pair of Sunglasses.

A small Sunglasses special effect immediately popped up on the screen.

"Wow! Thank you, Brother Ye, for the Sunglasses!"

Yaoyao's voice instantly rose, sounding as surprised as if she had never seen money before: "Waaa, Yaoyao is so touched! Big brother chose Yaoyao on his very first visit~"

The other Girls in the room also let out a chorus of exclamations, giving him the full VIP treatment as if Jiang Ye hadn't just gifted Sunglasses, but a whole house.

"Thank you for the Sunglasses, Brother Ye! Brother Ye is so generous!"

"Wow, Yaoyao, your big brother is so handsome!"

"I'm seriously so jealous~ This kind of brother is just too good~~"

Soft, cute, and wen yu voices rose one after another. Although he knew it was all a routine, being treated like a star by several Girls for the first time still made Jiang Ye feel a bit lightheaded.

This feeling of being noticed and catered to was indeed addictive.

After the initial surprise, Yaoyao's voice suddenly became a bit awkward, and she cleared her throat:

"Brother Ye... is this for a voice test? Do you want Yaoyao to do an Eight-part Acting Cute for you?"

Just as Jiang Ye was about to type, WeChat suddenly went "ding-dong," and a new friend request popped up.

When he saw the applicant, he was almost fuming with rage.

No, seriously, is this woman that realistic?

I didn't reply to one message, and in the time it took to top up some money, she actually deleted me on WeChat?! Then, seeing that I spent money in the room, she quickly tried to add me back?

Jiang Ye ignored the new friend request and switched back to TikTok to type: 【Sure, go ahead.】

In the room, Yaoyao switched to an ambiguous, clingy BGM, then cleared her throat and began her "Eight-part Acting Cute" in a sweet, bone-melting voice:

"Pretty please~"

"You're the best~"

"Pretty please, can you~"

"I'm begging you~"

"Please, please~"

"Love you~"

"I don't care~"

"I want it~"

Her tone was full of twists and turns, sweet and cloying, with a breathy, seductive quality.

Especially that last "I want it," which had a slight nasal sound and a catch in her breath; it felt like an electric current running through Jiang Ye, making him shiver involuntarily.

She really is impressive!

This tone, this vibe, this emotional control... no wonder she can scam big brothers; she's definitely got skills.

After the voice test ended, Yaoyao returned to her normal tone and gave a sweet smile: "Good brother~ add me back! I accidentally slipped earlier!"

Jiang Ye: 【You were the one who deleted me; it has nothing to do with me.】

He smacked his lips, savoring that "Eight-part Acting Cute" just now, and suddenly became curious about the "service levels" of the other Girls.

Jiang Ye topped up another 30 yuan and returned to the room, gifting a pair of Sunglasses to the mature-voiced Girl, "Zhi Xia."

"Thank you for the Sunglasses, Brother Ye! Brother Ye is so~~ good!"

Zhi Xia's voice carried a unique laziness and charm as she also performed an "Eight-part Acting Cute."

It had to be said that a mature voice performing this kind of acting cute had a special flavor.

That slightly raspy, magnetic quality felt like a little hook, making Jiang Ye's heart itch.

After acting cute, Zhi Xia followed Jiang Ye directly: "Oh, Yaoyao, your little brother seems to prefer my type. Why don't you hand him over to me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Ye gifted Sunglasses to "Sweet Girl" and another youthful voice, "Minnie."

For a moment, the room was filled with "Thank you, Brother Ye" from all sides. The Girls chirped away, starting to tear each other down to compete for the attention of this "newly-promoted big brother."

Minnie's youthful voice sounded a bit playful: "Little brother, look at how badly Yaoyao treats you, deleting you at the drop of a hat. Why not come to my place? There's no one at my house; I'm usually bullied by them~"

Sweet Girl's loli voice was super energetic and boisterous:

"No way, no way! Come to me! Brother Ye, let me tell you, while it's true there's 'no one' at Minnie's house, her body is 'covered in big men'!"

Minnie immediately got angry: "Sweet Girl, are you looking for a beating again? Forgot how you were made to kneel on a keyboard yesterday? If you ruin my chances with a new love, believe it or not, I'll call someone over to thrash you right now!"

Zhi Xia tried to mediate with a lazy tone: "Oh, stop fighting. Yaoyao's mic light has been on for ages; let the 'ex-wife' say a few words~"

Yaoyao: "..."
