36: Tsundere Lolita

Qin Lu's eyes widened from the side: "Qin Ya!"

Qin Ya, however, seemed to have flipped a switch, continuing: "What does whether I go to school or not have to do with you? Are you my dad or my mom?"

Yu Heng cursed inwardly.

This girl... she gets into character quite quickly.

He gestured to Qin Lu that it was fine, just for show.

Then he quickly sent a bullet comment: "Yo, quite a temper, aren't we?"

"None of your business." Qin Ya pouted, "Watch if you want, scram if you don't."

The number of online viewers became 3.

Two more people came in. Yu Heng gestured to Qin Lu to stop talking; there were outsiders now.

A bullet comment floated by: "The Streamer is so fierce."

Qin Ya saw this and smiled instead: "What's wrong with being fierce? Did being fierce eat your rice?"

"Hahaha, interesting." Another bullet comment said.

"Is the Streamer a real person? Or AI? Is AI that smart now?"

"Guess," Qin Ya said, "No prize even if you guess correctly."

Yu Heng looked at the screen and clicked his tongue inwardly.

This dialogue really had an unexpectedly good show effect.

A few more minutes passed, and the online viewers became 7.

Bullet comments started to increase.

"The Streamer's skin is so cute, did you draw it yourself?"

"No," Qin Ya said, "It's free. It's ugly, like it has Hyperthyroidism."

Yu Heng sent a bullet comment: "Don't complain about free stuff."

"What if I do complain?" Qin Ya said into the microphone, "If you're so capable, buy me a nice one?"

"Oh, now you're asking for gifts?" A bullet comment said.

"Who's asking for gifts?" Qin Ya retorted, "I just said it casually."

"The Streamer's voice is so tender, really eighteen?"

"Believe it or not," Qin Ya said, "If you don't believe it, go check my household registration."

"Checking household registration is illegal."

"Then why are you asking?"

The number of online viewers rose to 12.

Although not many, the bullet comment interaction rate was quite high.

Qin Ya also gradually relaxed, speaking more and more fluently.

"Does the Streamer sing?"

"No."

"Can you dance?"

"No, I can't."

"Then what do you stream?"

"What's it to you?" Qin Ya said, "I stream if I want to stream, and I don't if I don't want to. Do I need your approval?"

"Hahaha, well said."

"I love the Streamer's personality."

Yu Heng looked at the bullet comments, pondering.

This "Mesugaki" persona actually appeals to some people.

Especially those with masochistic tendencies, who enjoy being talked back to.

He sent a bullet comment: "Streamer, aren't you afraid no one will watch if you're so fierce?"

Qin Ya saw this, paused, then said: "If no one watches, then no one watches. I don't lack a few viewers."

But Yu Heng noticed that when she said this, her fingers scratched at the table.

This girl, though she speaks tough, actually cares about the numbers.

"Does the Streamer play games?"

"Yes," Qin Ya said, "LOL, Gold Rank."

"Gold? It's pretty good for a girl to reach Gold."

"What do you mean 'a girl can reach Gold'?" Qin Ya was displeased, "Looking down on girls?"

"No, no, I'm just complimenting you."

"That's more like it."

The live stream went on for over half an hour, with the number of online viewers stabilizing at around 15.

Although no gifts were received, the bullet comments never stopped.

Qin Ya also got more and more energized with her retorts.

A viewer asked: "Does the Streamer have a boyfriend?"

Qin Ya: "None of your business."

"Just asking."

"No," Qin Ya said, "And even if I did, I wouldn't tell you."

"Why?"

"Because you're not worthy of knowing."

"Hahaha, beautifully put."

Yu Heng leaned against the wall, looking at the Pink-haired Loli skin on the screen, then at Qin Ya sitting in front of the computer.

The little girl's profile had soft lines, long eyelashes, and a slightly upturned nose.

Her lips were slightly pursed when she spoke, looking very displeased.

But her eyes were sparkling.

She was clearly enjoying herself.

A thought suddenly popped into Yu Heng's mind.

If this Tsundere Loli were properly trained... "Yu Heng." Qin Lu suddenly called him.

Yu Heng snapped back: "What is it, Counselor?"

"I think she's streaming quite well?" Qin Lu's tone was a little uncertain, "But isn't her way of speaking too aggressive?"

"It's fine," Yu Heng said, "Audiences nowadays like this. Look at the bullet comments, they're all praising her for her retorts."

Qin Lu leaned over to look at the screen, and indeed, the bullet comments were full of "Hahaha" and "Beautifully put."

"This works too?" Qin Lu was still a bit uneasy.

"Yes," Yu Heng affirmed, "This kind of personality is distinctive and easy to remember."

Qin Lu nodded thoughtfully.

After another twenty minutes of streaming, Qin Ya was visibly tired, and her speaking speed slowed down.

Yu Heng saw that it was about time and sent a bullet comment: "Streamer is tired, let's end it here for today."

Qin Ya saw this, paused, then said into the microphone: "Then... that's it for today."

Her voice suddenly softened, completely different from when she was talking back earlier.

The bullet comments immediately flooded in:

"No, stream a bit longer!"

"Streamer, rest if you're tired. Will you be back tomorrow?"

Qin Ya looked at the bullet comments, hesitated, and whispered: "Tomorrow, we'll see."

"You must come!"

"Waiting for you!"

Turning off the stream, Qin Ya let out a long sigh and slumped into the chair.

"So tired..." she mumbled, but the corners of her mouth were upturned.

"How do you feel?" Yu Heng asked.

"It's alright..." Qin Ya said, "It's just... my throat hurts a bit."

"Who told you to keep talking?" Yu Heng poured a glass of water and handed it to her, "Drink some water."

Qin Ya took the water glass and softly said: "Thank you."

Yu Heng raised an eyebrow.

This girl, she can say thank you?

Rare.

He glanced at the backend data.

One hour of streaming, highest online viewers 18, received 20 yuan in gifts.

Although not much, at least it was a start.

"That's it for today," Yu Heng said, "If Qin Ya thinks it's okay, she can come stream often in the future. The equipment is all here, ready to use anytime."

Qin Ya jumped off the chair and stretched her neck: "Then when can I come again?"

After asking this question, she immediately turned her face away, pretending to look elsewhere.

Yu Heng was amused inwardly.

This girl, clearly interested, but still pretending.

"Whenever you want," Yu Heng said, "Just let me know when you feel like coming."

Qin Ya nodded, said nothing more, and walked straight out the door.

Qin Lu glanced at the time: "Then we'll head back first, thank you for your trouble today, Yu Heng."

"No trouble," Yu Heng saw them to the door, looking at Qin Lu: "How do you feel? Should she come to stream?"

Qin Lu was silent for a few seconds, then slowly spoke: "Better than I expected? At least she's willing to sit down and do something, and she stuck with it for nearly an hour."

She paused, then added: "Although I don't quite understand the content."

"That's normal," Yu Heng grinned, "Generation gap."

"Let her try," Qin Lu nodded, "Please take good care of her usually."

"No problem! Then Counselor, please take good care of me at school too!" Yu Heng said with a smile.

Qin Lu narrowed her eyes at his words, showing a scornful smile: "Alright, but don't cause me any big trouble!"

"Definitely not!" Yu Heng raised his hand to guarantee. At this point, Qin Ya, who had already left, impatiently called for Qin Lu to hurry up, so Yu Heng quickly said, "Counselor, take care on your way!"

Yu Heng closed the door and returned to the living room.

The computer was still on, and the pink-haired Gothic Loli skin on the screen quietly looked at him.

He walked over and closed the software.

His mind was still on the live stream just now.

Qin Ya, this girl, although tsundere, sharp-tongued, and not straightforward... at least she was willing to try.

And the effect was pretty good.

With slow cultivation, she might actually succeed.

However... he glanced at his phone; Bai Xinran hadn't sent a message yet.

He wondered how things were going.

Just as he was thinking, his phone vibrated.

Bai Xinran sent a message: "Boss, I really can't stream today. I have to get another IV drip this afternoon."

Yu Heng replied: "Okay, get some good rest, don't stream today. Are your parents with you?"

Bai Xinran: "Yes, they're here. Thank you for your concern, Boss."

Yu Heng smiled and tossed his phone onto the sofa.

He walked to the window, looking outside.

The setting sun had already dyed the clouds orange-red.

It had only been about half a month since he was reborn, and things were happening one after another, keeping him as busy as a spinning top.

But at least, the direction was right.

In the virtual Streamer field, Bai Xinran was already on track.

Qin Ya also started testing the waters, and the effect was better than expected.

This "Mesugaki" persona was indeed a blank slate in the current live streaming scene.

With good management, it might even become popular.

Yu Heng stretched lazily.

Tired.

But worth it.

He walked back to the sofa, lay down, and closed his eyes.

But his mind was still working.

Qin Ya's pink skin... was indeed ugly.

He needed to quickly customize a new one for her.

To do this long-term, she needed a decent skin.

Money, money... everywhere needed money.

Yu Heng sighed.

Starting a business is not easy; cherish it as you go.
