17: What kind of moves do you like?

Yu Heng, sprawled on the sofa, waved his hand, "You handle it, just don't blow up the kitchen."

Bai Xinran put on an apron, rummaged through the fridge, and muttered, "Tomatoes, green peppers... Should I make Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes, shredded pork with green peppers? And cook some rice?"

Yu Heng pursed his lips, listening to the clatter and bang coming from the kitchen.

This girl is quite virtuous. I wonder how her cooking compares to He Mengyao's.

After a while, the dishes were served. Yu Heng tasted them and found they were genuinely good.

"Not bad, classmate A Ling!" Yu Heng praised without reservation. "Your cooking skills are excellent!"

"Right?" Bai Xinran smiled proudly. "But why call me A Ling? It feels weird when I'm not streaming."

"Then what should I call you? Classmate dog?"

"You should just call me A Ling!"

After dinner, Bai Xinran quickly cleaned up the dishes and checked the time: "It's almost six. I'm getting ready to start the Streamer."

At exactly six o'clock, the Streamer began.

Bai Xinran cleared her throat, her voice slightly softer than usual: "Good evening everyone~ No games today, let's just chat!"

The barrage instantly flooded the screen:

[A Ling is so cute today!]

[Chat session! I love it!]

[Wife, look at me!]

Bai Xinran tilted her head, looking at the barrage, and said with a smile, "What should we chat about today?"

Just as she finished speaking, a Super Chat (SC) floated by: "What type of guy does A Ling like?"

Bai Xinran read it aloud and chuckled lightly: "The type I like... hmm, they have to know how to cook, right? Otherwise, I'd starve."

Yu Heng, standing by the door, curled his lip, thinking, "Aren't you quite good at cooking yourself?"

Another SC popped up: "A Ling's skin is so hot, is she just as open in real life?"

Bai Xinran's skin wobbled. Her voice was teasing: "Boss, the skin is the skin, and I am me~ But..." She deliberately drew out the sound, "Being a little hotter online and a little sweeter offline—isn't that contrast more exciting?"

The barrage immediately exploded:

[Hahaha, totally reasonable!]

[I get it! Contrast is the best!]

[A Ling is so skilled!]

Another SC floated by: "What does A Ling like to do besides streaming?"

Bai Xinran adjusted her microphone while saying, "I like exercising, like running and playing ball... Oh, right, I've also practiced Chinese Kickboxing!"

The barrage was filled with astonishment:

[Holy crap! Fierce woman!]

[This contrast, I love it, I love it!]

[Chinese Kickboxing? I'm even more excited!]

Halfway through the Streamer, the number of viewers was close to two thousand.

The barrage was scrolling rapidly, so Bai Xinran could only pick and choose which ones to reply to.

"Thank you to 'A Ling's dog' for the SC!" She read the barrage. "'A Ling, can you curse at me?' Boss, what kind of fetish is this?"

The barrage was once again filled with laughter.

Yu Heng grumbled internally that these people definitely had masochistic tendencies.

He glanced at Bai Xinran, who was smiling with pursed lips.

Suddenly, an SC caught her attention: "Does A Ling have a boyfriend?"

Bai Xinran clearly paused, then laughed: "No way~ Why would A Ling need a boyfriend? I need provisions, though. Boss, would you like to introduce me to some?"

[Me, me, me! A Ling, eat me first!]

[My vitality is high, eat me first!]

Bai Xinran couldn't help but burst out laughing upon seeing these SCs.

The dog skin swayed slightly with her movements: "Oh my, this boss is so enthusiastic~ But A Ling is full today. I'll eat you another time!"

The barrage instantly filled with teasing comments:

[A Ling is picky!]

[I have a large amount, eat mine!]

[Wife, look at my SC!]

A new SC floated by: "Will A Ling meet fans offline?"

Bai Xinran paused, then laughed: "Boss, A Ling is a virtual Streamer, you know~ If we meet offline, I'm afraid you might be disappointed when you see the real person!"

She blinked, "After all, the skin is the ideal, and reality is reality."

"Thank you to 'A Ling is My Wife' for the SC!" Bai Xinran read the barrage. "'What color pajamas is A Ling wearing today?'"

She deliberately lowered her voice, adding a touch of seduction: "Is this something I can say? Well, black lace~"

"Thank you to 'Wants to be Stepped on by A Ling' for the SC!" Bai Xinran continued reading. "'A Ling, can you say something in a mature woman's voice?'"

She cleared her throat, and her voice suddenly deepened: "Like this? Are you satisfied?"

This vocal tone was completely different from her usual neutral voice, carrying a slightly husky magnetism that was quite appealing.

The barrage scrolled wildly:

[I'm done!!!]

[A Ling's voice is so versatile!]

[Say one more thing! Please!]

Bai Xinran chuckled lightly while looking at the barrage: "It seems everyone really likes it~ But my throat isn't in great condition today, so I'll play with voices another time."

She glanced at the time; the Streamer had been going for over three hours.

"That's about it for today," she stretched. "I'll answer three final SC questions and then end the Streamer~"

Several SCs immediately floated across the screen, and she picked the most noticeable one.

"Thank you to 'A Ling's dog' for the SC," she read. "'Has A Ling ever been in a relationship in real life?'"

Bai Xinran paused, and her skin wobbled slightly: "Well, not yet~ Next time, no questions about A Ling's personal information, okay~"

"Second question," Bai Xinran continued reading, "'What kind of guy does A Ling like?'"

She drew out her voice and said slowly, "Whatever the boss looks like, that's what I like."

Yu Heng clicked his tongue internally. This woman was getting bolder and bolder with her words.

"Last question," Bai Xinran read the final SC, "'A Ling, can you call me an idiot?'"

She shook her head helplessly: "Why do you guys always want to be scolded... Idiot!"

The curse was so soft that it only amused the barrage.

[A Ling is so cute even when cursing!]

[I'm done! Thank you, A Ling!]

[Say it again!]

"No more, I really have to go." Bai Xinran waved at the microphone. "Same time tomorrow, another chat session. Bye-bye!"

Turning off the Streamer software, she let out a long breath, took off her headphones, and leaned back: "I'm exhausted... How can these people chat so much?"

"Good performance, you've loosened up a lot!" Yu Heng smiled. "Did the gift revenue go up again today?"

Bai Xinran opened the backend for a look, and her eyes lit up: "Wow! We received almost twenty SCs alone! Today's revenue flow is over fifteen thousand!"

"Not bad. Steady growth!" Yu Heng laughed.

"That's ridiculous. Is streaming really this profitable? I was just streaming for fun; I was happy when someone became a Captain." Bai Xinran murmured.

"You'll earn much more in the future. Broaden your horizons!"

"Alright, time to make big money!" She suddenly remembered something, turned her head, and glared at him. "Were you secretly watching by the door just now?"

"I was supervising," Yu Heng sat down righteously. "If you said anything wrong, I needed to be ready to rush in and pull the network cable."

"Pfft!" Bai Xinran placed the headphones on the table. "Don't suddenly walk in while I'm streaming. If the audience finds out, we're finished."

Yu Heng raised an eyebrow: "What, afraid they'll find out you're living with your boss?"

"Who's living with you!" Bai Xinran grabbed a cushion and threw it at him. "This is a collaboration! Do you understand collaboration!"

"Fine, fine, collaboration." Yu Heng caught the cushion and grinned. "But where's that black lace you mentioned? Put it on and let me see?"

"I don't have anything like that! I was just talking nonsense!" Bai Xinran rolled her eyes at him: "It was for show effect!"

She stood up and stretched. The hem of her T-shirt rode up, revealing a section of her fair waist.

Yu Heng stared at that waist. If he tried to touch it, he wondered if she would really use a Chinese Kickboxing move.

"What are you looking at?" Bai Xinran pulled down her shirt. "I'm warning you, don't get any wrong ideas."

Yu Heng raised his hands: "How dare I? You're someone who practices Chinese Kickboxing."

Bai Xinran snorted, grabbed her water cup, and walked out: "I'm going to take a shower. Don't peek!"
