章 16: Watching Chaoyue's Live Stream

編集者: Dragon Boat Translation

Upon returning to The Palms Residence, Zhou Chao immediately called the property manager, Yang Mi, and asked her to have the pre-ordered delicacies delivered to their home.

Curiosity filled Guo Yan's eyes as she entered, looking around in awe. "Wow, bro, you're really amazing. I just checked online, and this house is worth nearly 300 million. Are you being sponsored by a wealthy woman or something?"

Zhou Chao's veins popped out in anger upon hearing her words. He playfully tapped her forehead and retorted, "Which rich woman would spend 300 million to keep me? I've achieved all this through my own efforts."

"Well, I guess that's true, but with your good looks, what if a wealthy woman actually sets her sights on you!" Guo Yan exclaimed, running off to the balcony.

"... " Zhou Chao was about to tap her forehead again, but she had already run away. He could only helplessly smile.

Shortly after, property manager Yang Mi arrived with a chef, bringing the meals. In the meantime, Zhou Chao had Yang Mi input Xiaoyan's information into the system so that she could come and go freely.

"By the way, choose your own room. However, I'm sleeping in the master bedroom upstairs. You can pick any of the other rooms and take your luggage there. Let me know if there's anything else you need, and I'll have the property staff deliver it."

"Brother, I don't need to buy anything. I already brought everything I need!"

"Alright, I'll transfer some money to you then. When you go out to play, buy whatever you want, just don't spend recklessly."

"No way! I have my own money. It's enough for me," Guo Yan hurriedly replied when she heard her brother offering her money.

"How much money do you have? Was the money given to you by Third Dad?"

"No, I made some money occasionally by taking short videos on a certain platform with my best friend."

"What's your username on that platform? Let me have a look." Zhou Chao opened the app and saw videos of his sister and her best friend documenting their life at school. She had about 200,000 followers.

"So, how much money do you have?"

"Well, I have about 10,000 yuan. It's enough for me," Guo Yan replied, glancing at her phone.

"You should focus on studying. The college entrance examination is next year. Work hard and come to Modu for university. I'll buy you a house."

"Really, bro? Don't worry, I'll definitely come to Modu for university." Zhou Chao smiled upon hearing his sister's assurance. Her academic performance had always been outstanding, so he was confident in her.

"Alright, let's eat quickly!" Both of them were hungry after a whole morning of activities. They devoured the food on the table, competing with each other. Soon, their bellies were slightly rounded.

"Bro, it's so delicious. If we continue like this, I'm afraid I'll become chubby when I go back to Fog City!"

"One day, I'll let you taste my cooking, and you won't be able to stop eating," Zhou Chao said, feeling self-assured.

Guo Yan rolled her eyes and then got up, taking her phone to capture photos all around the house. Zhou Chao shook his head as he watched her.

Just as Zhou Chao was cleaning up the table, he heard laughter coming from the terrace upstairs. He went up to take a look and found Guo Yan video-chatting with her friends.

"Hey, sisters, starting from today, I can consider myself half a wealthy woman. Hehe, come... let me show you my brother's house."

"Wow, Xiaoyan, your brother's house is so big. The view is beautiful, and there's even a swimming pool. I love it!"

"Look, this is the Huangpu River, and over there is the Bund in Modu. Isn't it beautiful? It looks even better at night."

"Ah! Xiaoyan, ask your brother if he needs a wife. If he does, introduce me to him."

"Hmph, keep dreaming! Just look at your figure, Xiaoman, and you still think you can be my sister-in-law."

Listening to these little girls' conversation, Zhou Chao couldn't help but shake his head in amusement. "Are young girls nowadays so open-minded?" He turned and walked into the study.

Zhou Chao lounged on the recliner in the study, idly swiping through short videos on a particular platform. Suddenly, a notification popped up, indicating that his followed friends had posted new updates. Curiosity piqued, he opened the message and realized that Chao Yue was live streaming and engaging with the audience.

"Brothers, I've locked the door to the live stream room. I'm going to start singing now. Don't you dare leave, hahaha! Let's start with a song I loved when I was little."

"I'll spend my whole life nourishing you, hoping to stop your fleeting gaze."

Wow, as soon as she started singing, the live chat exploded with messages saying, "You sing well. Don't ever stop singing again!" Zhou Chao burst into laughter reading the barrage of comments.

"Chao Yue, stop singing. Peach Sister is on her way here."

"Chao Yue, change to another song. This one doesn't suit you."

The study was filled with Zhou Chao's laughter for a while.

"You people! You listen for free without spending money and still complain about me," Chao Yue said with a slightly aggrieved tone as she looked at the barrage of comments.

"In that case, I'll sing 'Heavenly Road' and take you all on a journey to paradise. Today, it's a matter of life or death. No one should even dare to consider leaving my livestream. I'm making sure everyone stays, and any attempt to exit will result in their phones being locked," Chao Yue declared with unwavering confidence.

"Hahaha."

In an instant, the entire barrage was filled with laughter, making everyone in the livestream room burst into laughter.

Zhou Chao also joined in, typing in the chat with the other viewers.

"Chao Yue, be careful not to strain your voice by singing too high," Zhou Chao cautioned.

Chao Yue looked determinedly and responded, "My voice won't get hoarse. I didn't speak enough in my previous life, so in this life, I want to express everything. I want to talk wildly, say as much as I can. Hey, isn't that amazing?"

Zhou Chao was taken aback by Chao Yue's words, and the whole livestream room erupted with excitement.

Joyful moments are always short-lived. Chao Yue sang a few songs and chatted with the viewers before ending the livestream.

Upon seeing Chao Yue's livestream ending, Zhou Chao sent her a message: "Do you have time in the evening? Let's have a meal together, me and my sister." Zhou Chao placed his phone on the table, thinking that Chao Yue might be busy since she didn't reply immediately.

"Bro, what's wrong with you just now? Were you possessed? Laughing like a fool by yourself in the study." A little head popped out from the bedroom doorway.

"It's something adults do. Little kids like you shouldn't pry. You finished talking with your friends?"

"Yeah, we finished a long time ago. I was taking photos outside. Bro, your house has such a beautiful view!"

"Well, you took an early flight. Aren't you tired? If you want, you can rest for a while, and I'll take you out for dinner in the evening."

"Then I'll go take a nap. Remember to call me when it's time, bro." With that, she turned and went back to her bedroom.

"Ding..."
