20: Come on, try to fool me! - 5

At that moment, the avatar of Yaoyao, which had previously shown as temporarily away, lit up again, her tone carrying a hint of grievance:

"Brother Ye, why aren't you replying to my WeChat again? I was waiting over there with bated breath, only to turn around and see you'd run back to the living room."

Jiang Ye ignored her and continued typing in the public chat: 【So what exactly is this living room for? Just pure chatting?】

Yaoyao immediately jumped in to answer: "Yes, Brother Ye, we just chat with the brothers, play games, watch movies together on voice calls, and stuff. We're a green living room, very wholesome! Our main focus is providing emotional value~"

Hearing her repeatedly emphasize "green," Jiang Ye couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Thinking of her "offline business," the word sounded so weird coming from her mouth?

Jiang Ye: 【Which green? The green on the hat?】

Yaoyao immediately cooed in protest: "Oh, Brother Ye, you're so mean! It's the healthy, sunny, positive green! What are you thinking!"

Zhi Xia couldn't help but interject: "Brother Ye, don't listen to her nonsense, she's the most yellow of all, hers is 'fake green'!"

Minnie: "Right! Yaoyao is famously the 'High-Speed Yao' in the living room, even when the wheels are rolling over her face she says she's wearing a seatbelt!"

Sweet Girl: "Exactly, exactly, Brother Ye, be careful! She's the craftiest! She'll give you a rubber band and tell you it's ultra-thin, then ten months later come carrying a baby calling you to fight a Hall Battle!"

Yaoyao was furious: "Sweet Girl, you little brat, itching for trouble again, huh? Who's craftier than you? Sitting on Pinocchio's face, telling the truth one moment and lies the next!"

Sensing the challenge, Sweet Girl immediately went "Oh yeah?" and entered battle mode:

"Who could be craftier than you, Yaoyao? On 'If You Are the One' you'd choose Meng Fei; handing out milk at an orphanage you'd say you need a parent's signature to receive it; pushing a vegetative patient to the morgue to watch 'Plants vs. Zombies'; finally doing a good deed saving someone drowning, giving mouth-to-mouth for ages only to realize their mouth was on the other side!"

Yaoyao: "..."

Yaoyao: "I... I just!"

Yaoyao: "%#@￥%..."

Zhi Xia and Minnie were immediately shocked, hurriedly muting her microphone in a flurry, trying to calm her down:

"Calm down! Calm down, Yaoyao!"

"Why did you have to provoke her? You know how her mouth is!"

Jiang Ye, who had been watching the whole thing, was stunned.

Damn, this Sweet Girl is really talented!

That reaction speed, that ability to catch jokes, that train of thought, it's so damn entertaining!

He couldn't help but open the gift bar and, for the first time ever out of admiration for such "professional skill," sent her a pair of sunglasses.

Seeing the gift effect, Sweet Girl thanked him happily: "Wow!! Thank you, Brother Ye, for the sunglasses! Brother Ye is generous! Brother Ye is the best~~"

In the public chat, the muted Yaoyao immediately typed a string of exclamation marks: 【!!!!!!】 plus an 【Angry】 emoji.

Yaoyao: 【If you take my brother's gift, shut up! Otherwise, refund it!】

Sweet Girl said smugly: "Oh~~ I took a pair of sunglasses from my brother-in-law, sister can't be jealous, can you? You're not going to fight with brother-in-law, are you? Not going to divorce right after remarrying, are you? No way, no way?"

Yaoyao: 【Ahhh! Unmute me!】

...Just as Jiang Ye was watching their entertaining antics with relish, a WeChat notification suddenly popped up on his phone—a few pictures sent by Ye Cheng.

A Very Big Orange: 【Picture】

A Very Big Orange: 【Picture】

A Very Big Orange: 【Picture】

A Very Big Orange: 【Got them! 'Victoria's Secret' Bare Leg Artifact, extra thick fleece, cost over 400! Let me show you!】

The pictures were three photos from different angles, all of a pair of flesh-colored leggings still in their packaging, clearly showing the "Victoria's Secret" logo.

Jiang Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly left the live stream.

Here it comes, here it comes, this woman has finally caught on!

Over 400! If she could give them to him, wouldn't that be a direct cashback of over 4000?

Suppressing his inner excitement, he replied reservedly: 【Oh, I see. So?】

A Very Big Orange: 【?】

A Very Big Orange: 【So what so? Just showing off to you! (Hands on hips.jpg)】

A Very Big Orange: 【But seriously, this thing is really warm, I'm wearing it to class tomorrow.】

Looking at the messages, Jiang Ye's mouth twitched.

Seriously... sis?

What's there to show off about this thing?

Why the hell are you keeping it for yourself to wear? How about giving it to me!

He tried to guide her: 【Looks good. But with things like this, you really have to see them in person to know if they're good, right?】

A Very Big Orange: 【Right, I'm wearing them tomorrow!】

A Very Big Orange: 【Huh? You don't want me to wear them for you to see, do you? Tsk tsk, Jiang Ye, your Pervert level has upgraded? From feet to legs?】

Jiang Ye: "..."

Communicating with this woman is such a hassle!

Who the hell wants you to wear them for me to see? I want you to give me this thing!

Even though he knew Ye Cheng had misunderstood, with the system monitoring 24/7, he couldn't be more explicit, so he just closed WeChat and returned to the live stream, out of sight, out of mind.

Yaoyao's side is simpler and more direct—pay up and get things done.

During the short time Jiang Ye was away, there weren't many new visitors in the living room, and the Girls were taking turns singing to pass the time.

Yaoyao was singing an ancient-style song called 'Sighing Clouds,' her singing skills were average, occasionally off-key, but her voice was indeed ethereal and pleasant, full of emotion, giving it a unique charm.

Jiang Ye quietly listened until she finished, then typed in the public chat: 【Sang well.】

Then, with a tap of his finger, he sent another pair of sunglasses to Zhi Xia, who was idling.

Both Yaoyao and Zhi Xia, who showed she'd received the gift in the public chat, were taken aback.

Zhi Xia asked, somewhat puzzled: "Brother Ye? Was it a mistake? Why send it to me?"

Jiang Ye: 【No mistake, it's for you. I'm leaving, got things to do.】

After saying that, without waiting for any reaction from Yaoyao, he directly exited the live stream.

Since he didn't plan to have more contact with Su Ning offline, there was no need to spend too much time and effort on "Yaoyao."

The next strategy was simple: occasionally drop by the live stream, give small gifts to other streamers in front of her to stimulate her "competitive spirit."

When she actively offers compensation like sending milk tea or inviting him to eat, then give her some sweet rewards appropriately.

After a few back-and-forths, this Girl should learn how to maintain him as her "brother."

Having set the plan, Jiang Ye stroked his chin, reopened his social media feed, and edited a new post:

"Sigh, this weather, my legs are really cold."

Settings—Visible to Ye Cheng only.

Post!

Then he tossed his phone aside, turned on his computer, and played games to relax.

When fishing, you need patience, can't keep staring at the float all the time.
