49: New tactics - 1

At this hour, the hall wasn't particularly lively. Only Yaoyao, Hall Manager Zhi Xia, and a streamer named July were on the mic.

The background music was soothing, and there weren't many comments scrolling on the public screen. The entire hall had only about a dozen active viewers.

As soon as Jiang Ye's account entered the live stream, Zhi Xia seemed to get a sudden burst of energy, her volume skyrocketing:

"Wel—come—my—Yaoyao's—big—brother!!! Brother Ye!!! Good evening!!!"

That shout blasted through the phone straight to Jiang Ye's skull, startling him so much that the grilled leek he'd just brought to his mouth nearly fell onto his pants.

"Bro! You're finally here!"

Yaoyao's voice followed immediately, full of grievance: "Why haven't you replied to my WeChat messages? I sent you so many!"

Her grievance wasn't fake.

During this period, she had truly experienced what it meant to be caught between fire and ice.

This Brother Ye—when he was doting, he was truly generous with money, giving whatever she wanted, even showering her with gifts before she could ask;

But when he was cold, he was truly heartless. Sending him ten or twenty WeChat messages might get a single "hmm" if she was lucky, and calling him on voice chat was almost always ignored.

It made her emotions feel like a roller coaster every day, swinging back and forth between "he loves me" and "he doesn't love me," to the point where she felt almost numb from what seemed like emotional manipulation.

Jiang Ye picked up another skewer of Lamb Kidneys, typing with one hand on the keyboard: 【Think about it.】

As soon as those familiar five words appeared, Yaoyao, sitting in front of her computer, instantly broke down, whining directly on the mic: "Bro~~! You're making me think again! What exactly do you want me to think about? I already gave you..."

"Yaoyao!" Zhi Xia was startled and quickly interrupted.

She was really afraid this silly girl would blurt out those private little "experiments" they'd discussed offline about "exploring human anatomy" and "improving hands-on skills" without thinking.

But even though she reacted quickly, the viewers below instantly caught the key phrase, and the comments immediately exploded:

【Huh? Gave what? Spill the details!】

【Elaborate, my friend is terminally ill and wants to hear!】

【So, the big brother's money isn't spent for nothing!】

【Got it, paid content, right?】

When Yaoyao heard Zhi Xia's shout, she also realized, but she pouted, not particularly concerned.

As for these viewers below, they'd only grudgingly join the fan club when the hall's big brothers sent red envelopes, and some even ran off after grabbing the red envelopes. So what if they misunderstood? It wouldn't affect Brother Ye anyway.

She adjusted her emotions but couldn't help adding a small complaint: "Bro, why are you always so hot and cold with me? I'm almost catching a cold."

Zhi Xia rolled her eyes inwardly.

Wasn't it obvious?

Surely, after their video call, the big brother entered his post-nut clarity phase, so of course he'd be cold. In a few days, when he remembered again, he'd naturally be enthusiasm again?

It seemed she still lacked experience, didn't understand men, and didn't know how to actively stir the big brother's interest.

She laughed, smoothing things over: "Silly Yaoyao, don't you get it? Brother Ye means you're not proactive enough! You need to let the big brother feel your enthusiasm and Heartfelt wishes!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a sports car Swoosh past on the screen.

【Brother Ye gifted Zhi Xia Sports Car *1】

This sports car was Jiang Ye's endorsement of Zhi Xia's interpretation.

Yes!

It's exactly that you're not proactive enough!

Where's my shoes? If the money hasn't been transferred, what's the use of just sweet-talking with empty words?

"Thank you, Brother Ye, for the sports car! Brother Ye is generous!"

Zhi Xia chuckled her thanks: "Yaoyao, see? What did I tell you? That's exactly what Brother Ye means! Relationships are a two-way street. You can't always let the big brother take the initiative; you need to show some effort too. Do you really expect the big brother to coax you to play every day?"

Yaoyao was practically speechless with frustration.

When had this big brother ever I comforted myself?

Clearly, it had always been her acting like a simp, sending good morning, good afternoon, good night, morning greetings, afternoon greetings, evening greetings, more diligent than a palace Granny, making at least five calls every day without fail (never answered), sending twenty or thirty WeChat messages (with a pitifully low reply rate)... Just as she was about to refute, another sports car Swoosh past on the screen.

【Brother Ye gifted Zhi Xia Sports Car *1】

Yaoyao: "..."

Staring at those two glaring sports cars, she began to deeply question her life.

Wasn't this proactive enough?

Did she need to video call him three times a day to report her thoughts? Or just drop by his bed unannounced?

She scratched her head, instinctively wanting to turn to her "strategist" Zhi Xia for help again, but the words died on her lips.

No, she couldn't lose face!

Just yesterday, she'd received thirty thousand yuan worth of gifts from him, even startling the Guild's Operator. In the evening, the hall had A special experience-sharing session was held for her..

She'd babbled on the mic for a long time, saying things like "sincerity is the only surefire skill" and "you need to Maintain it with care, rather than just taking from it.," portraying herself as the epitome of a high-EQ streamer.

If her Sisters found out that her so-called "maintenance" was actually constantly " tribute" to the big brother, maintaining the relationship through "gift-giving" backdoors, she'd be utterly humiliated!

Moreover, in the hall and the Guild, who knew how many people were secretly sending private messages to Brother Ye trying to poaching? She had to Hold on tight this "secret," Absolutely not letting anyone discover she wasn't his " only"!

While absentmindedly chatting with Zhi Xia and July, Yaoyao stared at that quiet avatar in the viewer list, pursing her lips.

Anyway... she'd already decided that if he sincerely Protect yourself for two months, she'd meet him offline.

So, giving him a little "sweetener" now to encourage him... seemed... not entirely unreasonable, right?

She picked up her phone and started Search through her album.

Those too spicy ones definitely couldn't be sent—they needed to be suggestive, leaving room for imagination... Finally, she selected a photo: a close-up of herself sitting by the window in shorts, sunlight Sprinkle on right leg, the light outlining her Well-proportioned leg lines, her skin looking fair and smooth.

Gritting her teeth, she sent the photo to Brother Ye via private chat.

Facing his computer screen, one hand holding lamb skewers and testis, the other holding Grilled Oysters, Jiang Ye heard the WeChat notification, casually opened the picture Yaoyao sent, and a string of question marks instantly popped up above his head.

What did this mean?

Was this... a Welfare?

But who in their right mind sends a Welfare照 of just one leg?

He Speechless, I replied with a question mark.: 【?】

Seeing Brother Ye reply instantly, Yaoyao felt a surge of joy—it seemed this move had caught his attention!

She quickly seized the moment, typing crackling to explain:

Yaoyao: 【Bro, look, didn't we agree to meet in two months? I thought of a A particularly ceremonial idea!】

Yaoyao: 【During these two months, I'll send you a photo of a part of my body every week, okay? Today, it's the right leg; next week, the left hand...】

Yaoyao: 【This way, as time goes on, it'll be like a puzzle, letting you slowly piece together the headless me! On the day we finally meet, we can reveal the mystery of the head! Isn't it Super romantic, Super meaningful!】

Brother Ye: 【...】

Reading this text, Jiang Ye's The corner of his mouth twitched..

He understood sense of ritual.

But this sense of ritual the sisters had Concept... a weekly "human fragment," To piece together a complete person after eight weeks?

Was this Sure a Little pleasures between couples, and not some criminal case Clue Collection?

He could already see the headline on "Legal Report": "Young Female Streamer Mysteriously Disappears, ' enthusiastic' Big Brother's Phone Shocks with Human Puzzle"... Brother Ye: 【Skip all useless steps, send chest directly, thanks.】

In front of her computer, Yaoyao's Breathing pause. Staring at that simple, Brutal demands on the screen, her A sudden inspiration, Thinking it was incredibly romantic "puzzle plan" Shattered in an instant.

really... with this Straight ball big brother, you couldn't Doing all that empty talk!
