Chapter 41
"Ding dong." Yan Xi pressed the doorbell at Ji Yao's house.
It took a good while before the door opened, and Ji Yao who appeared in sight wore a simple sweater, but unexpectedly put on some light makeup, making her look more mature with a tinge of innocence.
"Ah...you came so early!" Ji Yao seemed a bit frantic, as if Yan Xi had arrived earlier than she expected.
"I brought you a gift." Yan Xi had bought a bottle of white tea scented perfume as a gift.
"Thanks."
"I remember the route when I sent you home last time was not this one. Did you move to another complex?"
The last time when she sent Ji Yao home, the houses in that area were ordinary mid-range apartments, but the location Ji Yao sent to Yan Xi this morning was a high-end complex in the city center.
The housing prices there were not cheap.
The clothes Ji Yao wore everyday were also low-key niche brands with very fashionable designs.
"Oh that one. I had an argument with my parents before, so I rented a relatively affordable place near school. But the community environment there wasn't great. My dad worried about me living alone there, so he recently bought this house for me to live in by myself."
"You just moved in not long ago?" Yan Xi took off her shoes and changed into soft slippers before entering the house.
Yan Xi saw that the facilities inside the house were very tidy, giving off the feel that no one had lived here before.
"Let's not talk about this. I said I would show you a secret right?" Ji Yao pulled her hand mysteriously.
"Hmm?"
"You sit in the living room first. I've prepared some surprises for you in the room. When I call you to come in later, you can come in okay? No peeking!"
Surprises?
Yan Xi sat properly on the sofa in Ji Yao's house.
After quite a while, Ji Yao finally called out sweetly from the room.
"Yan Xi, come in!"
-----------------------------
The instant Yan Xi opened the door, a cold camera nearly shoved right up to her face, followed closely by the blinding strong lights.
The raised camera was connected to the computer screen, with endless barrage of comments flying by rapidly on the livestream page.
"What do you think? Didn't I tell the truth? Isn't my friend very pretty?" The sweet soft voice was the coy tone Ji Yao often used.
Main Streamer Me: Damn, I thought the streamer was bragging! She really delivered! As expected, a beauty's friend is also a beauty! [Tipped 1 rocket]
Slacking To The Max: Such huge boobs, doesn't seem like a student. But in terms of face, the streamer is still more innocent, hehe.... [Tipped 1 phoenix crown]
Upper Society Choosing The Low Road: I feel this friend of the streamer is more suitable to be a streamer than the streamer herself! This face is so freaking appetizing! [Tipped 10 beers]
Cow Dung With Fresh Flowers: Aren't they the same? Speaking of which, I seemed to have seen this woman at a KTV, a few hundred bucks a night?
.......
After Yan Xi's beautiful face, designed meticulously as if by God himself, was fully exposed under the camera, the barrage of comments and tips erupted like a fountain.
The ubiquitous feeling of being monitored, as if countless eyes were peering at her through that tiny screen, marveling at her beauty and malicious conjectures about her identity were reflected back at a unbelievable speed through the live comments.
"Thanks to all the generous brothers for your tips!"
"Yan Xi, don't be shy! Just now I made a bet with the viewers that your looks were much better than mine, and they didn't believe it, saying they would tip me 10 rockets if it were true! See, they did lose right!" Ji Yao waved at her, smiling sweetly.
As if she was saying something perfectly normal.
"Come over and sit!"
Ji Yao patted the stool next to her, signaling her to come over and sit down.
That innocent and beautiful face showed a kind smile once more, not a speck of impurity in those amber eyes, yet so blissfully ignorant of malice.
For a moment, Yan Xi did not move. The audience in the comments could not wait.
You're Just A Big Rice Dumpling: What the heck? A wooden beauty? The streamer is waving her over but she has no reaction at all. Is the atmosphere that awkward?
Cow Dung With Fresh Flowers: Can't loosen up at all, how do you get clients in that line of work? Want brother to boost your sales record?!
All Pianists Are Trash: Still not as pretty as the streamer. As stiff as a statue, the streamer's smile is a bit sweeter! Just a nice face probably altered by countless surgeries!
.......
Because of Yan Xi's lack of reaction for a while, another round of critique erupted in the comments.
The smile never left Ji Yao's face over time, but her eyes took on another meaning.
As if to say, are you planning to run away?
Finally, Yan Xi's expression began to crack, her heart beating erratically again, the uncontrollable pleasure spreading once more, bringing intense tremors she could barely control.
"That's more like it." The voice was barely audible.
Ji Yao thought for a second she was hearing things.
The girl surrounded by cameras let out a faint laugh. That drop dead gorgeous face revealed an alluring expression. The girl's temperament seemed to have subtly shifted.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yan Xi, Ji Yao's good friend."
Her voice was composed and calm, like well-practiced opening lines performed countless times before, carrying a nonchalant grace as if she was an experienced celebrity facing the cameras.
The instant Yan Xi spoke her name, Ji Yao's expression turned ugly.
On the internet, almost no one would reveal their real name, but Yan Xi's expression told her she didn't care at all about this detail.
Yan Xi walked over and sat down.
This time, she took the initiative to hug Ji Yao's arm intimately.
Ji Yao's expression changed. She felt an eerie chill, as if being entwined by a brightly colored snake on her arm.
An illusion?
"So this was the surprise you had for me. How unexpected."
"So that guy No Expiry*1, he is your fan too? Hmm?"
Or should I say, your "private stalker"?
