175: Points penalty - 2

After venting for a while, Sister Zhi Xia tentatively steered the conversation back on track:

"Brother Ye, are you planning to just listen in quietly today, or are you here to support our Yao Yao? You have no idea, Yao Yao has been having a really tough time lately. The room has been flooded with a bunch of haters constantly questioning her skills."

Yao Yao quickly took over, sighing with a mix of grievance and understanding:

"It's okay, brother. They're just sour grapes! As long as you know that Yao Yao is your cute little baby~~"

"Pfft—"

"Oh my!"

"Cough, cough, cough..."

A chorus of coughs immediately erupted on the mic.

After saying it herself, Yao Yao also felt a bit embarrassed, especially since the person in question was right there in the master bedroom not far away.

But... well! Since there's a wall between them and he can't see her expression, she'll just pretend she doesn't know anything!

The online 'simp' persona must not crumble!

Brother Ye's comment paused for a few seconds, seemingly also choked up by that overly bold "cute little baby" remark. He simply ignored it and directly @'d Sister Zhi Xia.

Brother Ye (Lv42): [@Sister Zhi Xia Does your room have that PK Punishment Chart? Send it to me.]

Sister Zhi Xia was taken aback for a moment but quickly caught on: "Brother Ye, are you going to help Yao Yao with a PK? Yao Yao, quick, send our room's punishment chart to Brother Ye!"

Yao Yao's heart immediately sank.

Punishment chart?

This guy... Could it be that he wants to... settle a personal grudge under the guise of official business?

Hesitantly, she picked up her phone, found the image listing various point-based punishments, and sent it to "Brother Ye" on WeChat.

Then, she cautiously added a few voice messages: "Brother, you can look, but you're not allowed to punish Yao Yao, okay~?" "Brother cares about Yao Yao the most, right~?"

However, "Brother Ye" maintained his aloof online demeanor, completely ignoring her coquettishness.

Anxiously, she looked at the computer screen. The next second, a sports car effect streaked across the screen.

Brother Ye (Lv42): [Point punishment. Let's start with 'Evil Dragon Roar.']

Yao Yao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, followed by a surge of secret delight.

Hehe, as expected, that Dog man still cares about me!

He probably doesn't really want to punish me. He just wants to hear me act cute or use this to warn me about my 'misbehavior' this morning, right?

She cleared her throat and, facing the microphone, mustered her cutest, sweetest voice with all her might:

"Evil! Dragon! Roar! Awoo~~!"

"Evil! Dragon! Roar! Awoo~~!"

"Evil! Dragon! Roar! Awoo~~!"

After completing the punishment, Yao Yao giggled and seized the chance to act cute:

"Brother, if you want to hear Yao Yao go awoo awoo, just call me directly! I can awoo for you every day. No need to send gifts specifically~"

If any other host in the room said something like "advising the big brother not to send gifts," Sister Zhi Xia would definitely have cursed them out as a "big idiot" on the spot.

But since it was Yao Yao saying it, she not only didn't find anything wrong but even actively played along:

"Yeah, Brother Ye, wouldn't it be better to have Yao Yao awoo for you privately? Forget awooing, you could even switch to other words~ Like... hmm? Whatever makes you happy!"

Yao Yao immediately pretended to be utterly embarrassed: "Oh, Sister Zhi Xia! What are you saying~! I don't understand~!"

Amid this slightly ambiguous atmosphere, Brother Ye's comment appeared again:

Brother Ye (Lv42): [Nothing special. How about trying 'Crying and Laughing'?]

Another sports car streaked across the public screen.

Yao Yao's smile stiffened again, and she started to wonder.

Crying and Laughing?

This punishment isn't too harsh either, but the direction... feels a bit off?

Is he... trying to make me look foolish? Or just thinks it's fun?

She scratched her head. Though a bit puzzled, she obediently complied:

"Hahaha... haha... wuwuwu... hahaha... wuwu..." She struggled to seamlessly switch between Crying and Laughing, persisting for 30 seconds.

After finishing the punishment, Sweet Girl chimed in with a laugh: "Brother Ye~ How was that? Our Yao Yao's professional skills are pretty good, right? If you're still not satisfied, you can have her..."

Before she could finish, another sports car effect rose, followed closely by Brother Ye's comment:

[Next, three 'Head Flicks.']

This time, the room fell silent for a moment.

Even the other hosts on the mic sensed something wasn't quite right.

This big brother... doesn't seem to be here to cheer Yao Yao up, but more like he's here to punish her?

"Sigh... okay..."

Yao Yao pouted, looked around, and flicked the head of a cartoon figurine next to the computer three times—"tap, tap, tap"—then covered her own forehead, pretending to be in pain as she cried out:

"Ouch! Oh my! That hurts so much! Brother, you're too cruel!"

The other hosts quickly joined in to enhance the effect:

"Wow! Yao Yao, you're too honest! You actually flicked it?"

"That sounded pretty loud!"

"Brother Ye, show some sympathy!"

Brother Ye's comment drifted in again: [Didn't feel it... What's this 'Iron Pot Head Smash' for 3000 points on your punishment chart?]

Neither Sister Zhi Xia nor Sweet Girl on the mic responded immediately. The atmosphere grew a bit delicate.

Seeing no one explain, the newcomer Qing He spoke up honestly:

"Brother Ye, 'Iron Pot Head Smash' means using a small stainless steel pot to hit your own head five times. It really hurts! We've tried it before!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a 3000-sound-wave plane "whooshed" across the screen.

Sister Zhi Xia facepalmed in the background, quickly switching to WeChat to privately message Qing He, giving her an urgent crash course on when to chime in and when to let the host handle the big brother themselves.

Watching her points surge because of that plane, Yao Yao finally understood completely.

That petty man!

He's just using his online "Brother Ye" identity to settle a personal grudge and plans to thoroughly "educate" her!

But well... Yao Yao pouted and said to the microphone in a pitiful tone: "Okay, brother... Since you want to hear it... wait a moment, okay? I'll go to the kitchen to find a pot."

With that, she got up, opened the secondary bedroom door, and walked out.
