Chapter 16: True Love is Invincible
Looking at the ID sent by Number 66, Chu Yang felt he really didn’t need to ask if it was a guy or a girl because the person’s game ID was: [Chu Yang’s Hubby]
Chu Yang clicked start. He was playing on his alt account, with the ID: [The Fifteenth Sheep]. When creating an alt, he was too lazy to think of a new name. Aside from his main account, [Yang], the others were [The First Sheep], [The Seventh Sheep], and so on.
He was very much like a cute baby who counted sheep when he couldn’t sleep.
However, it was hard to tell which sheep he was later on because some fans took sheep-counting names just like his.
The chat went into another frenzy seeing Number 66’s game ID.
[LMAO! A ‘Hubby’ fan is playing it big right in his face…]
[How did you dare? When you made that ID, did you expect to be in a duo with Xiao Yang while he’s still a straight man?]
[Wake up. You won’t be able to turn him gay.]
[Xiao Yang’s hubby is like a lump in my throat (joking LMAO)]
[Xiao Yang’s hubby: one moment of boldness in exchange for…]
[I’m so worried Number 66 will say something predatory in the game. I’ll protect Xiao Yang’s hubby! I’m already prepared to mute Number 66!]
[Holy crap, you dare mute our Number 66! 66 tipped ‘Xiao Yang Hubby’ 2,000; his love is deep!]
[Adding two watches for ‘Xiao Yang Hubby.’ Applaud!]
Two thousand was exactly the price of two “Watches” in the gift options.
Just as these comments passed, the four borders of the livestream room suddenly flashed with purple electric light. It was beautiful, but they had never seen this before. For a moment, everyone thought their phones were malfunctioning.
“Crap—my phone’s about to explode!”
But after flashing for several seconds, the purple light didn’t disappear. It didn’t emit a dazzling light like before, however. One person tentatively touched their phone—it wasn’t hot at all; there was no problem. Looking closely—
“Crap! Is someone playing at being a sugar daddy?!”
This purple light was the special effect for a gift in the livestream room. Since they had never seen anyone tip this gift before, they didn’t know its effect was like this—like the “Purple Lightning” of a breakthrough in a cultivation novel. It was incredibly cool!
The price of the gift was also incredibly “cool.” It was called a “Villa,” and the price was 100,000! Although 100,000 couldn’t buy a villa in reality, someone who could tip 100,000 definitely had a villa in real life.
[CRAP!!!! A big boss!! What the heck???]
[Rich woman? Rich guy? What are you trying to do to our Xiao Yang Hubby? I won’t allow it! I’m incoherent! I’m breaking down! Holy crap!]
[Tonight, there’s another heartbroken person…]
[Dammit, why can’t I be one of the rich people in this world!! I’m secretly cursing you all!]
The one who tipped the “Villa” was an initial account, with only one follow and no profile picture. Even the name was just random gibberish: [CJNLSK FF DF].
There had always been many gifts in Chu Yang’s stream. The original first place had tipped about 50,000 in total. The second and third were also around 50,000.
Those three had been competing for a while. Every time they entered the stream, they’d first drop money, and only after reaching the top of the leaderboard would they stop.
Later, all three were present at the same time and fought it out on the leaderboard. Only after Chu Yang strictly forbade them from being impulsive did they stop for a while. Who knew someone would now settle the matter once and for all?
100,000. Many people were still in a daze.
In reality, giving a partner a gift worth 100,000 was normal—among the rich.
But in a livestream room, for something virtual, and for a streamer netizen—it was too extravagant. It was so extravagant it seemed fake.
So some people began to wonder if this person had other designs on Chu Yang—for example, trying to “keep” him as a kept man, or if this person was Chu Yang’s real-life partner.
Some people had previously seen the forum posts about Chu Yang’s university, and some were even his classmates. Two weeks ago, people had discussed whether Chu Yang wanted to get into a relationship.
Someone immediately remembered this and said: [Could it be his partner? Jealous of Chu Yang playing with others, so he’s venting by dropping money? Declaring sovereignty?]
[Venting jealousy by dropping 100k? I want to be that kind of rich person too. I also want to declare sovereignty over Xiao Yang Hubby.]
[You guys are overthinking it. If it were really his partner, would they be that stupid? The platform takes a cut. It’d be better to just give it directly to Chu Yang.]
[Exactly, exactly. They must want to ‘keep’ our Xiao Yang Hubby~ Hubby, you must never agree…]
[Wifey, just agree! Use the money you get from being kept to support me. I’m your little baby. Mommy, Mommy!]
[Floor above, have you read too much ‘Mommy is working the streets to support me’ literature? Share a copy with me?]
[Stop it, guys. I’m really worried my hubby will be kept. What if the sugar daddy is especially rich and won’t allow Xiao Yang Hubby to stream?]
[Will the sugar daddy imprison Xiao Yang Hubby? Tee-hee, I love this episode.]
[The sugar daddy xxxx-ing Xiao Yang Wifey and streaming it for us. Cold, red-eyed, pinching his waist: ‘Don’t you love streaming? Stream it.’]
The user [CJNLSK FF DF], who had made the tip, wasn’t angry at being called stupid. His ears turned slightly red seeing the “Sugar Daddy xxxx Chu Yang” literature. It did indeed lean toward declaring sovereignty, but not quite.
He was just very unhappy seeing the ID “Chu Yang’s Hubby”…
Being the number one tipper of the hour, he was pushed directly to the front page of the app. Chu Yang’s livestream room was suddenly flooded with newcomers.
[Crap?? The streamer is this good-looking?]
[Does the streamer sleep with fans?]
[Stop playing games. Hurry and chat with us.]
[There are too few people who play well and look good. Stop putting on a show; we aren’t here to see that crappy game.]
[How did this suddenly appear on the front page? Did he buy traffic?]
[Such a cool livestream appearance. Is it a new beta feature?]
[Getting more and more gaudy. All the cut money is used for these features. I’m really fed up…]
[You bunch of uncultured people, this is a ‘Villa’ livestream room, okay? If you haven’t seen it, just say so. Take a look at our Xiao Yang Hubby’s tip leaderboard (beckons)]
[Can’t you see the line of text at the top of the stream? The ‘Villa’ our Xiao Yang Hubby received!]
[Exactly! This is the lightning triggered by a ‘Villa’! Only our Xiao Yang Hubby has it!]
[Xiao Yang Hubby is breaking through!]
[Stop it, don’t make our little straight man baby shy~]
[LMAO, a certain little straight man only has the game in his heart. I really want to interview him later to see how he feels about the tip.]
[Xiao Yang Wifey just made 70,000 for his account in a single glance!!]
[Chu Yang: Life is so easy!]
Chu Yang was indeed immersed in the game, picking Luna to jungle. He had the team voice chat on but didn’t say much. Number 66 didn’t speak either, picking Yao to follow him.
As soon as the game started, Chu Yang cleared his own jungle’s “Three Little Pigs” and headed straight for the enemy’s jungle. Number 66 followed him, the deer girl waving her staff to help scout the way for him.
In the enemy’s jungle, Chu Yang looked as if he were strolling through his own backyard. He didn’t forget to ping his own jungle to have the Mage go check it out. Halfway through, they were discovered, and a team fight broke out in the jungle. Number 66 blocked a few hits for him and was taken down.
Chu Yang clicked “Recover” and quickly cleared his own jungle. Then he took the Dragon and went to the bottom lane for a gank. Luna glided in and out with her sword, and everyone she marked had a crescent moon icon above their heads—truly the Moon Goddess. Double kill!
He was very busy and hadn’t had a chance to look at the stream.
Chu Yang’s expression was serious, yet carried a hint of nonchalance. When he killed an opponent, he would even curve his lips in a smile, looking like a little fox that had caught its prey. His dark, bright eyes were exceptionally eye-catching.
The enemy team was wiped out by him. With the Yao attached to him, he stood at the turret, taking a sip of his fruit tea with one hand as his eyes narrowed.
After pushing all the way to the crystal, Chu Yang finally spoke: “It seems the people I’ve drawn recently all really love playing Yao. This game was a bit quick. Let’s go again.”
He returned to the room, waited for Number 66 to come back, and started another game.
While waiting, he looked up at the stream and gave a confused “Hmm?”. “The page upgraded automatically?”
[Livestream Room]
[Stupid Xiao Yang, it’s because everyone wants to play Yao to pretend to be your partner. Too bad only the Firstborn Friend has the Couple tag! Jealous!]
[My baby who hasn’t seen the world, take a look at the very top. I wonder how long that ugly thing will stay there.]
[That’s the most expensive font on the internet. I want to see how long that 100k banner will stay there. It won’t stay as long as my tombstone without rotting for decades, will it??]
Chu Yang looked up and was stunned. ‘…..’
He immediately clicked into his backend to take a look. Today’s revenue: [76,543.21]. It was practically on par with the allowance Chu Yuanzhou gave him…
Chu Yang’s reaction was fast. He immediately canceled the game preparation and said to Number 66, “Wait a moment. I have something to handle.”
During the game, Number 66 had also been watching Chu Yang’s stream. As a man, his reason for picking Yao was the same as Yin Lianchuan’s. Not only so he could openly be with Chu Yang for the whole game and have others think they were a couple, but also so he could watch Chu Yang at the same time.
Men were different from girls. Girls playing games with Chu Yang might do so from a “girlfriend’s perspective,” wanting to be carried by him. When they were killed, Chu Yang would offer some comfort and then avenge them.
Men were different. When they liked someone, they wanted to lick over every inch of him with their gaze; the game wasn’t that important anymore.
Looking at the massive tip in Chu Yang’s stream, he was also unhappy. He had irrational thoughts (dropping money), but his pockets were shallow, so he restrained himself.
Chu Yang frowned and sent a DM to [CJNLSK FF DF]: [Hello, the gift is too expensive. Was it a mistake by a minor? Give me a card number and I’ll transfer it back to you.]
It had been fifteen minutes since the tip. Any heated impulse should have cooled down by now. If the other party wanted the money back, they just needed to follow Chu Yang’s lead.
Furthermore, Chu Yang said in the stream: “The friend who made the mistake, I’ve DM-ed you. If you see it, reply with a card number. I’ll return it to you later.”
A string of comments passed by, all saying how beautiful and kind he was. If it were them, they’d have taken the money and run, cashing out in a second for fear of the system swallowing it. How could they return it?
Chu Yang didn’t pay attention to the chat. He refreshed his backend messages, but there was still no reply. He tapped the desk a couple of times in anxiety. The next second, his movements stopped.
[CJNLSK FF DF: Not a mistake. I am an adult. I like you very much. It was voluntary, no need to return.]
Not only did he reply to Chu Yang’s DM, but he even copied it and posted it in the stream.
Since his level was the highest, the text remained suspended at the very top of the stream.
[TRUE LOVE IS INVINCIBLE!!!!!]
Chu Yang wanted to say something more, but 091’s voice suddenly rang in his head: [Keep it. It’s Pei Xilin.]
Chu Yang: “???”
