Chapter 4: Top Star Battle 4
After playing with Xiao Nuo for an afternoon, Zeng Chen and I left the hospital. After saying goodbye to each other, it was completely dark when I returned home.
"There is a surprise in the forum, go and check it out." As soon as I walked into the room, I received a WeChat message from Guan Qiao.
I logged into the Qingning Forum and saw a post titled “Important Statement and Clarification” on the headlines. The poster was Lin Tong.
It turned out that Lin Tong had found a professional organization to authenticate the authenticity of Mi Lu's pictures, and also solemnly found a notary agency to notarize them, easily crushing the previous rumors. In addition to this, he also stated that he and Mi Lu had a conflict and he would no longer be her fan.
However, Lin Tong never said from beginning to end that the mastermind behind the smear campaign against him and me was Mi Lu. Perhaps this was his last kindness to her.
After exiting the forum, I found the Iron Man mask that had been put aside for several days, put it on, turned on the camera, and entered the "Magic Soft Live Room".
Moon Rabbit: "Welcome home, Ruanruan."
Yidian Canglan: "I know Ruanruan won't let everyone down."
Xiaoyu Loli: "You are finally back. I missed you so much."
…
I appeared for just a few tens of seconds and my fans sent me thousands of messages, which left me stunned and felt extremely warm inside.
"Thank you so much for your continued support. I just wanted to say a few words to you tonight." I took a deep breath and said, "First of all, I am too lazy to explain things I didn't do. I firmly believe that the innocent will be cleared. This matter has just passed. Please don't mention it again. I am still the same Ruanruan who brought you joy!"
"Well said!" Lin Tong also ran over, and as soon as he entered the live broadcast room, he gave me an ice castle. My name directly rose several places on the income ranking list.
The "Big Devil" also entered my live broadcast room. As if he was competing with Lin Tong, he sent two ice castles in one breath. Then...
If the "big devil" gave me 666 roses, Lin Tong would give me 999 blue roses. If the "big devil" gave me 100 small crowns, Lin Tong would give me 200... No matter what the "big devil" gave me, Lin Tong would always give me more than him.
Their competitive behavior was so childish that it not only caused other fans to exclaim in surprise, but also made me stare with my eyes wide open.
At this moment, a pink cherry blossom petal suddenly fell on my computer screen, which was very romantic. After this beautiful special effect, Mi Lu's photo suddenly appeared and the system prompt sounded.
"Welcome 'Sweetheart Elk' to the Magic Soft Live Studio!"
Milu? Why is she here to watch my live stream?
I was wondering in my heart, when suddenly, a line of huge words appeared on the computer screen -
Sweetheart Elk: "Magic Soft, do you dare to accept my challenge?"
She left me a message directly, which was definitely not a good intention!
"What challenge?" I asked.
"I'm competing with you. Next Saturday night from 8 to 10 pm, whoever wins the top must give half of all the profits to the other person, and from now on, you can only broadcast live three times a week!"
Seeing these confident words, I couldn't help but picture Mi Lu's arrogant face in my mind. Mi Lu has been live streaming for more than a year, and she is so famous that she must have earned a lot of money. If she can share half of it, Xiao Nuo's medical expenses will probably be settled.
But...what if I lose? I'll be heartbroken to give her so much money!
Lin Tong: "Ruanruan accepts the challenge, I will make you win!"
ZC Big Devil: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Seeing Mi Lu's provocation, the "Big Devil" and Lin Tong actually stopped fighting and quickly united their front. Other fans also followed suit and supported me in accepting the challenge. Mi Lu's gorgeous avatar hung on the screen, silently waiting for my answer.
Just as I was hesitating, the door was suddenly pushed open with great force.
"Yuanwan, I'm so angry! My mother has deprived me of my pocket money again!" Guan Qiao rushed into my room like a little whirlwind.
I was stunned and quickly pressed the pause button and said, "Shh! I'm live streaming!"
"Ah?" Guan Qiao looked at the still picture on the computer in horror. Although she knew that the camera and microphone would stop working after pausing, she still couldn't help but lower her voice and ask, "Did they record me ?"
“I don’t know either.” I shook my head. “Just watch the replay and you’ll know.”
All live broadcasts on "Ningbeam TV" have an automatic recording function. I clicked on the video playback and stared at the live broadcast with Guan Qiao. Fortunately, the picture stopped at the moment Guan Qiao pushed open the door but did not show her face.
After watching the screen go black for dozens of seconds, Guan Qiao and I breathed a sigh of relief. Phew… Guan Qiao’s face wasn’t shown, so even if someone who knew her heard her voice, it should be fine.
Autumn has passed and early winter has arrived. The temperature has dropped by several degrees. In addition, the sun has been on strike for several days in a row. Now under the gray sky, people are shrouded in a cold current and are struggling hard.
During the physical education class this week, when I changed into my sportswear and came to the tennis court, more than half of the students who insisted on attending the outdoor class had already left. In such weather, even Guan Qiao had left me and asked for sick leave. The students waiting for class in the cold wind all wrapped up their coats tightly, huddled together like shrimps, and seemed to be keeping each other warm.
I looked around the tennis court and found a familiar figure - Zeng Chen. He was a man who couldn't keep a low profile even if he wanted to. He was wearing a dark grey sports jacket, blocking out the "light waves of love" emitted by the girls, and practicing swinging his racket and doing warm-up exercises without paying attention to anyone around him.
As if sensing my gaze, Zeng Chen suddenly turned his head, and when he saw me, his amber eyes seemed to glow brightly. He raised the corners of his lips slightly and walked towards me.
"Yuan Wan, how about I join your group?"
At this moment, a hand patted my shoulder, and Lin Tong's voice suddenly sounded behind me. I turned my head and saw Lin Tong wrapped in a down jacket, sunglasses, scarf, and gloves, as if he was going on vacation to the Arctic.
It's a miracle that Young Master Lin would show up at school to attend classes in such bad weather!
"Ah? But didn't the teacher already divide us into groups in the last class?" I said in confusion.
"Anyway, there aren't many people coming to class today, so there must be some who are alone. Why don't you ask Zeng Chen to find someone else to partner with?" Lin Tong raised his eyebrows and patted his chest confidently, "You saw my strength last time, and I promise I won't hold you back."
Just when I was in a dilemma, I heard a few girls talking not far away.
"Ah! Lin Tong doesn't want to be a partner with Mi Lu. Is he possessed? Didn't he like Mi Lu very much before?"
"I heard that the two of them had a falling out. Isn't Mi Lu a female anchor on the Internet? Ever since Lin Tong stopped caring about her, Mi Lu's income from live broadcasts every night has plummeted."
"Do you have any brains at all? You don't even treat Young Master Lin Tong well..."
…
The group of girls chattered happily, but Mi Lu behind them was so angry that she was shaking all over and glaring at me with gritted teeth. I was really helpless. I didn't say these words, why was she glaring at me?
