The next morning, early in the day, a big and a small figure met in the bedroom.
Yaoyao saw a table full of delicious food and snacks that made her mouth water.
She happily kissed her brother on the cheek and said in a crisp, clear voice, "Seventh Brother, you're so good to me. There's so much food! I'm so happy! Yaoyao will always do live streams with you from now on."
Clearly, in her eyes, live streaming equaled delicious food.
With this mindset, Yaoyao's enthusiasm was through the roof.
"Even if we don't do live streams, if you want to eat, Seventh Brother will prepare food for you," Gu Yu said, patting his sister's head.
Then he asked if she was ready. After getting a positive response, he fiddled with the equipment for a while and started the live stream.
The large crystal screen embedded in the wall displayed the live stream. This was a lesson learned from the last time when the small phone screen made things awkward. Now, they were using a big screen for better interaction.
"Wow, Yaoyao and Seventh Brother are on TV!"
Yaoyao's big eyes sparkled as she watched herself move on the screen, amazed that the TV version of herself moved when she did.
Although she had started using electronic devices like phones and computers these past few days, she was still new to everything and found it all fascinating.
Gu Yu patiently explained things to his sister, handing her a piece of date cake to munch on while she listened. Meanwhile, the live stream started gaining viewers rapidly.
Aside from the buzz from the last live stream that had gone viral, Gu Yu had also announced this session in advance, so fans had been eagerly waiting.
As usual, Gu Yu gave a brief introduction of himself and then pointed to Yaoyao, saying, "For the next little while, my sister will be joining me for the live streams. I hope you all like her."
"Yaoyao, say hello to everyone."
"Hello, everyone!" Yaoyao obediently raised her chubby little hand, her cheeks dimpling as she smiled.
Her round, grape-like eyes sparkled like crushed starlight, full of life, and her other features were as delicate as a doll's.
The live stream went silent for a moment...
[Wow, the young master's family really has no shortage of good looks. This little sister could debut as a child star right now without any prep!]
[Looks like someone's new here. This little sister isn't just cute!]
[Remember that trending news about a single woman finding a pervert under her bed? That was this little sister's doing. She literally saved that girl's life. Little Master, are you doing the lottery today? I want my fortune told too, please! I'm begging you, wuwuwu!]
[No way! That's so cool! I want my fortune told too. Little Master, start the lottery, don't make me kneel and beg.]
The live stream was filled with viewers who had witnessed the police catching the criminal last time. They quickly filled in the newcomers on the highlights of the previous live stream.
Many people who had seen the trending news were horrified.
But they hadn't expected it to be connected to Gu Yu's live stream. Their curiosity skyrocketed, and the lively discussion naturally attracted some sarcastic comments.
[Come on, you actually believe such an outrageous story?]
[The Gu family is so rich. Who's to say this isn't just a script? Money can make ghosts turn millstones. Who can guarantee everything on the internet is real?]
However, these voices were quickly drowned out by the majority.
Gu Yu saw the comments but chose to ignore them. Instead, he smiled and said, "Today, we'll continue with the lottery!"
Thanks to the unexpected turn of events, not only had the rumors about his retirement been dispelled, but the fortune-telling live stream had also gained popularity. His manager was over the moon.
She had sternly warned him, "Gu Yu
, leave the fortune-telling to your sister. If you mess this up again, I'm quitting. Someone else can handle you."Although they were technically colleagues, Gu Yu genuinely respected her as an elder. Seeing her threaten to quit, he had no choice but to comply.
Thus, although this was his live stream, the real star was Yaoyao.
As for him?
He was perfectly content with his role as the tea-pouring assistant. No joke!
"The live stream has hit 500,000 viewers. Today, there are three lottery slots. Once they're done, that's it. Let's begin."
Gu Yu was completely nonchalant, so his attitude was blatantly obvious. He tapped a few times and released the lottery link.
With so few slots available, the live stream viewers scrambled to participate, leaving no time to criticize his attitude.
[Ahhh! I didn't get it! Stupid Android, stupid internet, ruining my life, wuwuwu!]
[Only three slots? That's like one in a hundred thousand, almost as hard as winning the lottery. Us non-lucky folks are crying.]
No matter how much they complained, the first slot had already been chosen.
"Miss 'Blossoms on the Road,' how would you like to do this? We support video calls, or you can send a recent photo to my Seventh Brother privately. Both options are fine."
Yaoyao, under her brother's guidance, had already familiarized herself with the process. The two options were provided because Gu Yu had mentioned that some people didn't like showing their faces online.
Fortune-telling could also be done with photos, so Yaoyao had set up these two methods for the winners' convenience.
"Let's do a video call. I'm not that superstitious."
Gu Yu sent the video call invitation, and the other party immediately accepted. The screen split into two, revealing a woman in her early thirties.
She had her hair tied up in a bun and wore a light green cheongsam. Her delicate features exuded a scholarly aura, and the background appeared to be a study, with many antiques displayed on the shelves.
Just from this, it was clear that "Blossoms on the Road" came from a well-off family.
[Wow, this lady is stunning! Fairy, look at me! I can cook and mop floors. Do you need a maid?]
[Hey, are you a college student? Job hunting in a live stream?]
"Hello, pretty lady! What would you like to know?"
Yaoyao ignored the lively comments and focused on the woman's face. The woman had a faint smile, and her fingers occasionally rested on her abdomen.
"Little Master, hello! I didn't expect to actually win the lottery. I didn't prepare anything, so could you tell me if the baby in my belly is healthy?"
"Blossoms on the Road" had joined the lottery for fun and was shocked to be chosen out of hundreds of thousands of people. She hadn't thought much about it.
When it came to fortune-telling, people usually asked about their own misfortunes, but her life—whether it was her family or her marriage—was going smoothly.
The only thing she was curious about was the baby in her belly. Thinking about how she and her husband had worked so hard to conceive, she cherished this child deeply.
However, Yaoyao let out a soft "Hmm?" and then said in her sweet, childish voice, "Pretty lady, you can't keep this baby."
This statement stunned not only "Blossoms on the Road" but also the live stream viewers.
[Wait, although it breaks my heart to see such a beauty pregnant, isn't it a bit harsh to tell someone to abort?]
[She's only three and a half years old. How can she say something so cold?]
[Fetuses are lives too. Telling someone to abort is inviting bad karma. What a waste of such a cute appearance.]
The live stream suddenly became chaotic, with some comments getting increasingly harsh. Gu Yu quickly banned and kicked out the worst offenders.
No way was he letting anyone badmouth his precious sister. When it came to Yaoyao, Gu Yu had unconditional faith. If she said the baby couldn't be kept, there had to be a serious reason.
"Little Master, why do you say that? Is there something wrong with the baby?" "Blossoms on the Road" was also angry upon hearing this.
But she remembered how this little girl had bravely caught a pervert last time. She believed Yaoyao had real abilities. Could there really be something wrong with the baby?
"Blossoms on the Road" couldn't help but ask. She had only just found out she was pregnant today and hadn't had a chance to go for a check-up. If there was really a problem, all her joy would be for nothing. Thinking this, her face turned pale.
Yaoyao's watery eyes stared intently at her as she said, "The problem isn't with you or the baby."
"It's your husband. He's a reckless gambler!"
