Once they had settled everything, Xiao Xinran went to the wardrobe and began searching through her clothes. She spread all her favorite outfits across the bed.
As she was choosing what to wear, she suddenly remembered that she had not yet told Lu Yichen she intended to bring Fang Chuxia along.
She quickly picked up her phone and sent Lu Yichen a message.
Xiao Xinran: “By the way, you don’t mind if I bring Xia Xia along, do you?”
Lu Yichen: “Not at all. I was planning to invite her to dinner and apologize anyway, but she turned me down.”
Xiao Xinran detected a hint of gossip in his words, but she did not ask any further. After all, her best friend had personally told her that she felt nothing for Lu Yichen.
Xiao Xinran: “All right, then. I’ll get ready first~”
After replying to Lu Yichen, Xiao Xinran continued rummaging through her clothes. At last, she pulled out a white blouse and a short Japanese-style schoolgirl skirt.
Sailor socks, or white stockings?
White stockings, then. They would be a little more lethal.
She just wondered whether he preferred black stockings or white ones.
After choosing her outfit, Xiao Xinran sent Fang Chuxia a message.
Xiao Xinran: “Xia Xia, what are you planning to wear?”
Fang Chuxia: “I’ll just throw on whatever.”
Xiao Xinran: “How can you just wear anything? Come to my house right now. I’m going to dress you up and do your makeup.”
Fang Chuxia: “Please, have mercy on me. Lu Yichen has already seen me without makeup, so why go to all that trouble?”
Xiao Xinran: “I don’t care. Come on, come on.”
Faced with her best friend’s wheedling, Fang Chuxia could only indulge her. She sent back an exasperated reaction image.
Fang Chuxia: “Fine. I’ll come over after I finish with my students.”
Xiao Xinran had known all along that Fang Chuxia would agree. She replied with an adorable pet image captioned, “Love you.”
Meanwhile, Lu Yichen took a shower, then lay on his bed and idly scrolled through his phone.
As he was scrolling, he came across the livestream of a sweet-looking young woman with a lovely voice.
The streamer went by the name Little Peach Bunny.
She was livestreaming a makeup tutorial. Lu Yichen was not interested in makeup, but the name felt strangely familiar, as though he had seen it somewhere before.
“Babes, let me show you how to apply this eyeshadow. You’re supposed to draw it like this…”
“How do you apply lipstick? Hang on, girls. I’ll get to that step in a moment.”

“If any of you want to learn how to do makeup, feel free to follow me~”
Although the streamer was teaching makeup, there were actually more men than women in her audience.
That did not matter, though. Lu Yichen had only entered because the name seemed familiar.
Besides, countless people used the same online name. It was probably just a coincidence.
Including the men, Little Peach Bunny’s livestream had barely more than thirty viewers.
After all, it was difficult to attract an audience by doing nothing but livestreaming makeup tutorials.
Lu Yichen watched for a while, then stopped thinking about it. He was just about to leave the stream and go to sleep when a comment appeared at the top of the screen.
“Your livestream is so dead. Teaching makeup alone isn’t enough. Your voice is so nice, so put it to use. Call me ‘husband,’ and I’ll send you a luxury yacht.”
The viewer who posted the comment was called Arrogant Brother Li. His account level was astonishingly high, a full level seventy. Clearly, he had already spent millions watching livestreams on Douyin.
Little Peach Bunny ignored the comment completely and continued explaining her makeup techniques with utmost seriousness.
Arrogant Brother Li still refused to give up. He sent her a luxury yacht and posted another comment.
“Streamer, call me ‘husband,’ and I’ll send you something even bigger.”
A single luxury yacht cost six hundred yuan. Lu Yichen wondered whether the streamer would actually do as he asked.
Little Peach Bunny set down the makeup brush in her hand and slowly said, “Call you husband? Not a chance. Don’t even think about it.”
No one expected the streamer to reject such a major supporter outright. Lu Yichen suddenly became interested. He did not leave the livestream; instead, he found himself admiring Little Peach Bunny.
Little Peach Bunny fumbled around, trying to find a way to kick Arrogant Brother Li out of the room.
But with an account level in the seventies, he was a high-ranking VIP and a big spender. She could not kick him out. She could not even mute him.
Arrogant Brother Li continued bombarding the stream with comments, refusing to let her off.
“Well, aren’t you a little firecracker? I like that. But before long, you’ll be calling me husband obediently.”
Arrogant Brother Li sent five Carnival gifts. [Emoji]
A Carnival gift on Douyin cost a full three thousand yuan.
This Arrogant Brother Li truly lived up to his name. He was trying to use money to force Little Peach Bunny into silence.
“Well? Are you going to call me husband now? If you do, I’ll send you another Carnival. The more times you call me, the better the reward.”
In Arrogant Brother Li’s opinion, as long as he spent enough money and offered enough benefits, no small-time streamer would refuse to obey him.
This time, however, he ran into a wall.
The Carnival gifts had not made Little Peach Bunny call him husband. Instead, they had only made her angrier.
“Could you leave my livestream already? If there were any way to get rid of you, I wouldn’t have let you stay this long.”

It was clear that Little Peach Bunny was utterly exasperated. She had run out of options and energy; after all, she could not break the platform’s rules.
Those words instantly piqued Arrogant Brother Li’s interest. He had sent gifts in the livestreams of countless female streamers on Douyin, and every one of them had treated him with deference and done exactly as he asked.
Even streamers with some degree of fame showed him respect and addressed him as Brother Li.
Yet a tiny streamer like Little Peach Bunny actually dared to resist him, making him lose face. That was absolutely unacceptable. No matter what, he was going to make her call him husband today.
“Oh, I get it. You’re pretending to be coy, hoping I’ll spend more money, right? Then I’ll show you exactly what I can do.”
Arrogant Brother Li sent five Carnival gifts. [Emoji]
Fifteen thousand yuan!
He had really sent that much just like that?!
“Come on, call me husband. I’ll send you thirty thousand yuan. Stop pretending.”
Little Peach Bunny’s face darkened with displeasure.
“Who wants your gifts? Could you stop sending them and leave already? Don’t come back. You’re seriously annoying!”
“This is a makeup tutorial livestream, not a place for you to throw tantrums.”
Arrogant Brother Li did not leave. Instead, he continued sending gifts.
Arrogant Brother Li sent ten Carnival gifts. [Emoji]
Thirty thousand yuan!
Thirty thousand! He had just given away thirty thousand yuan like that?!
“Call me husband. My patience is limited. Don’t take advantage of my generosity and then refuse to cooperate.”
As Arrogant Brother Li continued sending Carnival gifts, a large crowd suddenly flooded into Little Peach Bunny’s livestream. Everyone had come to watch the spectacle and see whether she would call him husband.
Comments began appearing nonstop.
“Wow, Brother Li is incredible! He’s spending like money means nothing!”
“How many Carnivals has he sent already? Why is the streamer being so ungrateful?”
“She can make this much money just by calling him husband once? Brother Li, don’t be so strict about gender. How about me?”
“Husband, look at me! I can call you that. I can call you anything you want! I can even change my voice. I promise you’ll be satisfied.”
“…”
