Chapter 13
"Search it on your phone, and you can learn and dance at the same time," Jiang Yan was always persistent when it came to things she wanted, and now she was surprisingly serious.
Shen Annian had no choice but to take a phone, feeling at a loss, and searched for videos of an unbeatable cutie's dance.
As soon as he saw the pile of children on the cover, he knew something was off. He reluctantly clicked into the video, and the childish and cheerful music burst out of the phone.
"Naughty dark cloud riding on my head~"
"Naughty stars staring all night~"
"Naughty time machine running so fast~"
"Crying nose naughty~"
Shen Annian was dumbfounded, while the fans were overjoyed.
["Oh my god, I'm dead, I'm laughing to death."]
["Children's songs, children's dance, Jiang Yan, are you serious?"]
["I declare the award for the best punisher goes to Lin Jiangyan."]
["I'm genuinely curious, how did Jiang Yan manage not to laugh?"]
["I can't hold it in, hahaha, I'm laughing myself to death."]
Jiang Yan focused her gaze on the helpless Shen Annian, making his face even redder.
The fans chimed in: So, Lin Sister is into this.
Jiang Yan was still watching the screen when suddenly the door behind her opened, and a lively girl wearing a pink bunny apron walked in. Her voice was naturally sweet: "Yan Yan, the late-night snack is ready. Secret sauce for the dumplings, pork and corn filling, no green onions for you."
"Hey, are we live?" Halfway through, Lu Shushu realized something was amiss and wanted to leave.
"No worries." Jiang Yan didn't mind and pressed the camera, hiding her face.
"What are you doing?" Lu Shushu curiously asked when she saw the boy dancing on the screen. "Is he a preschool teacher? Teaching dance?"
Jiang Yan made a sound of agreement and nodded.
Both sides of the fans burst into laughter.
["Little preschool teacher Shen Annian."]
["Laughed until I vomited."]
["Never expected that Shen has this hidden identity."]
Shen Annian stopped dancing, and before ending the stream, he remembered to say hello. But he didn't call her sister anymore, his tone was stiff, saying, "I'm done dancing, I'm signing off." Jiang Yan sensed a hint of frustration in his voice.
A small boy with a delicate appearance and quite a temper.
Jiang Yan just closed the PK. She didn't see it, but the fans saw it clearly, and their ears turned as red as paint.
Shen Annian left, and they shifted their attention to Lu Shushu.
["Who's this little sister? She sounds like a sweet girl."]
["The dumplings look really delicious."]
They were indeed delicious. Jiang Yan took a bite—thin and tender skin, sweet corn filling, savory meat, and a sauce made from soy sauce, vinegar, oyster sauce, and sesame drizzled on top, enhancing the flavor.
Her hidden foodie nature erupted, and Jiang Yan gave Lu Shushu a thumbs-up.
Lu Shushu stood by, smiling.
["I want to eat too."]
["Wife looks so beautiful while eating."]
["So, who is she?! Why do you live together?"]
["Suddenly panic!"]
["My wife always claims she doesn't have a boyfriend, but she probably has a girlfriend, right?"]
As they continued to add more drama to their speculation, Jiang Yan put down her chopsticks and reached out to hold Lu Shushu's hand, explaining, "My best friend, college classmate, and roommate. Are you satisfied now?"
However, fans are fickle, and after she explained, they started acting all fragile and whining.
["She scolded us again."]
["All this fuss over a woman."]
["A woman who made her a bowl of dumplings."]
"They are so adorable," Lu Shushu laughed.
Jiang Yan snorted and commented, "Overly dramatic."
Her fans felt hurt once again and turned to communicate with Lu Shushu.
["Sweet little sister next to you, is our Sister Yan in a bad mood today?"]
["Yeah, why is she so aggressive in her speech?"]
["She's even become aloof."]
["She used to be so gentle and spoke softly to us."]
"Gentle?!" Lu Shushu widened her eyes in surprise and was pulled by Jiang Yan's hand, but she couldn't help but say, "Does Yan Yan have that quality? Hasn't she always been aloof?"
"She has the worst temper among us in the dormitory, she's practically a demon queen. Because she's the dorm leader, our dorm is always clean."
"When she used to participate in debate competitions, her aura could overwhelm others..."
As Lu Shushu spoke more excitedly, the fans also got hyped.
["Was the previous Jiang Yan just a figment of my imagination?"]
["Could it be that she wanted to portray a gentle image, but couldn't keep up with it today? It's so hilarious, sisters."]
["A woman who always strives for success."]
["I can already imagine the glory of Jiang Yan's university days."]
Jiang Yan didn't interrupt, as her original personality was an accident, but it explained her change in demeanor today. It's not that she couldn't act gentle, it's just too exhausting to keep it up. Taking advantage of the fact that the system hadn't demanded it yet, she quickly changed her temper.
From now on, she would be a aloof girl.
Jiang Yan sat at the computer and played with Lu Shushu's hand. She had a petite frame and naturally fair skin, but her hands were covered in calluses.
Lu Shushu had previously mentioned that she had been cooking since she was a child.
When the live broadcast reached the end, Jiang Yan mechanically let go of Lu Shushu's hand and faced the screen, saying, "Alright, that's it for today's livestream. See you all tomorrow."
A few barrage messages pleaded desperately: ["Yan Yan, can you keep it on for a little longer?"]
["Sister Yan, just ten more minutes of chatting, only ten minutes."]
A clear-minded person said: ["You all forgot, she's no longer the old Lin Jiangyan."]
["Now she's Lin Jiangyan, the aloof one."]
Some observant fans saw her letting go of Lu Shushu's hand and sincerely commented: ["How can her temperament deteriorate along with her character? She's so trashy, using and discarding people."]
After ending the livestream, Jiang Yan turned her chair towards Lu Shushu and asked, "How was it?"
Lu Shushu and Jiang Yan had just graduated from college. Finding a job was already difficult for their majors. Jiang Yan had switched careers early on and became a live-streaming anchor, relying on her youthful appearance to make a living. Lu Shushu, on the other hand, had reservations about live-streaming and was currently working as a temporary employee with a low salary. When she wasn't working, she would go to various job fairs to look for employment opportunities.
However, as expected, this time was also fruitless. Jiang Yan lazily advised her, "Why don't you become a food anchor? You cook well and you're beautiful. I can even help you."
Lu Shushu quickly shook her head and said, "No, that's not for me. I can't do it well. It's not suitable for me. I'll continue looking for other jobs."
Jiang Yan had already done her best with one or two words of persuasion, so she stopped and quietly ate her dumplings.
In the evening, the system chimed in, "Today, you didn't strictly follow the character setting of the malicious supporting female role."
Facing the system, Jiang Yan once again became the weak and pitiful one, saying, "I think it's okay if the malicious supporting female role has a worse temper. It will make more people dislike her."
The system found it reasonable and only said, "It won't be allowed next time."
The two girls in the rented room entered their dreams with their respective worries.
Little did Jiang Yan know that the live stream she did that night ignited a tremendous wave of popularity.
