Chapter 45: The Livestream Battle
As Cao Shaoyang lowered his head to relish the cool sensation of her lips, a series of urgent ding! ding! ding! notifications interrupted him.
At such a critical moment, he wanted to ignore it and continue, but the persistent chime refused to stop.
The mature woman beneath him gently pushed him away and murmured during a brief pause, “Maybe it’s urgent. Why don’t you check your WeChat?”
Cao Shaoyang frowned, reluctant to let go of the cool, wonderful feeling. “Ignore it,” he muttered irritably and leaned in again to kiss her lips.
But the ding! ding! ding! continued, insistent and unrelenting.
Once again, she nudged him away. “The messages sound urgent. It might not take much time to check, and it could be something important.”
Irritated, Cao Shaoyang reluctantly climbed off her.
He reasoned that if it were truly urgent, his stepmother or Aunt An Yu Wei would have called him directly. Neither of them would bombard him with messages.
“Let’s see who’s so persistent about interrupting me,” he grumbled, unlocking his phone.
On WeChat, the sender’s name caught his eye: [Cow Doesn’t Drink Milk].
Over a dozen unread messages lit up in red, and the count was still rising rapidly.
“Hmm? What’s going on? She never messages me this late,” Cao Shaoyang thought, intrigued by her sudden persistence. He opened the chat.
[Cow Doesn’t Drink Milk]:
“Ahhh! Master, help me!”
“Master, are you there?”
“Someone is causing trouble in my livestream!”
“They’re demanding my WeChat and have already spent tens of thousands on gifts!”
“My livestream chat is filled with people telling me to add this person on WeChat.”
“That person is so annoying. Master, please save me!”
“Master, are you there?”
“Master, where are you?”
“Master, help me!”
The rest of the messages were scattered phrases starting with “Master” and random emojis.
A vein throbbed on Cao Shaoyang’s forehead. “Who’s this reckless fool? Of all days, they had to pick today, now, to cause trouble?” he muttered, frustrated at having his mood ruined.
Though irritated, he didn’t blame her directly. Instead, his annoyance turned toward the troublemaker disrupting her stream.
He tapped into the chat bar and typed a short reply:
[Wei Wu The Great]: “Got it. Wait for me.”
Exiting WeChat, he opened the Douyin app and navigated to his list of followed streamers, entering Cow Doesn’t Drink Milk’s livestream.
Just as he joined, an animation of a rocket launch lit up the screen.
[Zuo Shan Diao] had just sent a Rocket x1 to the streamer.
Cao Shaoyang immediately locked onto the target. “It must be this Zuo Shan Diao causing trouble,” he thought.
“One look at this username, and I can tell he’s not up to any good. Throwing rockets one by one to flaunt his wealth and demand attention? And even then, he’s stingy about it. How embarrassing.”
Without bothering to check the troublemaker’s total contributions, Cao Shaoyang selected the rocket gift option. He maxed the number to 99 and clicked Send.
Before he could say anything, the livestream chat exploded:
[“Whoa! What’s this animation? A rocket barrage?”].
[“Unbelievable! 99 rockets?! Did the real boss just arrive?”].
Some of the streamer’s regular fans recognized the sender’s ID and chimed in:
[“Heh! This is going to be good. That Zuo Shan Diao guy, thinking he can bully my favorite streamer while her big brother isn’t around, trying to steal the spotlight? He really should take a good look at himself in the mirror first.”
[“Wei Wu The Great is here! You’ve got to teach this guy a lesson, especially after how much he’s been harassing our dear Cow Sister while you were away!”
These messages, likely from loyal fans, stood out. They even remembered Cao Shaoyang’s ID. However, that wasn’t his focus right now.
After sending the 99 rockets, Cao Shaoyang immediately posted an eye-catching comment:
[“Who the hell decided to pick today, of all days, to stir up trouble? I’ve got things to do! Hey, you—the one begging for the streamer’s WeChat! You want it? Fine. If you can outspend me on gifts, I’ll personally make sure she adds you on WeChat.”].
[“You in or out? If you’re in, hurry up. I don’t have all day. If not, stop wasting everyone’s time and get lost!”].
Barely a few seconds after his message went through, the opposing party’s gift animation lit up the screen. Another set of 99 rockets shot into the sky.
[Zuo Shan Diao]: “So, you’re the so-called ‘Wei Wu The Great’ the streamer keeps talking about? You’re quite the tyrant, huh—setting rules about who she can and can’t add on WeChat. If you’re so high and mighty, why don’t you just sponsor her outright instead of letting her flaunt herself online and reel in men every day?”
[Wei Wu The Great]: “I don’t have time to argue with you. Keep up.”
