CH 44

Xie Yao’s phone had a front camera, and his face was fully captured by the camera and displayed on the phone screen, including all his facial expressions.

Jiang Song held up his phone towards the filming location, staring at Xie Yao with a helpless expression mixed with a hint of undiscovered joy.

His lips curved upwards, “What do you want me to write in the autograph?”

Since Jiang Song asked, it meant that he could definitely get one. Xie Yao’s eyes immediately lit up visibly to the naked eye.

Jiang Song noticed Xie Yao’s brightened eyes and his hesitant expression, clearly considering what to write in the autograph. Jiang Song suddenly felt like teasing the young anchor.

He laughed, “Why don’t you write something like ‘I hope my little fans can make their dreams come true’?”

Of course, by “fans,” he meant Xie Yao’s husband fans.

Xie Yao clearly caught on to Jiang Song’s implications and his face immediately turned red. His expression was almost instantly filled with anger, mixed with a hint of guilt towards Jiang Song, but mostly embarrassment. He tried to interrupt Jiang Song, wanting him to stop talking.

“I was just joking! Brother Jiang, are you so childish? You always tease me with this!”

Jiang Song clearly enjoyed teasing Xie Yao and not only did he not stop, he even intensified it, “I admit that I’m childish, I can’t compare to your maturity as a praise husband fan.”

Xie Yao’s eyes widened in anger. He was so angry that he hung up the video call.

Jiang Song was left speechless and regretful, and he rubbed his nose a few times.

He had gone too far this time.

On this side, Jiang Song sat on a stool, looking down and typing on his phone with his fingers. He promised to pay a hefty price for three autographed pictures, but the little anchor only replied with a period. Meanwhile, a group of people had noticed his suspicious behavior and were now watching him closely, causing his heart to race and his eyes to widen.

Not long after, Jiang Song, who was still messaging the little anchor on WeChat, noticed a shadow looming over him. A inexplicable sense of low pressure filled the air and pressed down on him.

Jiang Song lifted his head to find Manager Chen standing in front of him, grinning with a twisted expression on his face.

Manager Chen made a gesture to invite him to leave and smiled at Jiang Song. “Get lost.”

Jiang Song sneered and replied to the message on his phone before lazily leaning back in his chair, looking quite arrogant.

“Give me a reason,” he said.

Manager Chen gritted his teeth, showing his teeth in the cold light. He pointed to the location where they had paused filming because of the abnormal behavior of the group of people.

“If you want to be an ass, then go back to your base and be an ass. Don’t shatter their worldview in front of them. It took us three times to redo the shoot because of your laughter.”

The female star’s time was valuable, and so was the time of the group of people. Manager Chen was now looking at Jiang Song, who seemed to be a nuisance.

Jiang Song squinted his eyes and looked towards the group of people who were secretly observing him. The five people were immediately scared and turned their heads away, even trembling and pretending to be nonchalant. They were all clearly trying to avoid him.

On the WeChat side, Xie Yao was not angry, but felt embarrassed and guilty. This emotion had long since dissipated when Jiang Song offered to sign three autographed pictures at a high price.

At this point, he was saying goodbye to Jiang Song, as he too needed to start livestreaming and accumulating points.

Without a chat partner, and knowing that the group of people and the female star, combined with the power of praise, were not comparable to his own feelings of happiness, Jiang Song stood up from the stool and turned around with his hands in his pockets.

Manager Chen’s eyelids twitched. “What are you doing?” he asked.

Jiang Song raised the mobile phone in his hand and grinned, “Let’s chat at the base.”

As Manager Chen leaned on the chair, his hand slipped and he almost fell to the ground.

After Jiang Song disappeared from the doorway, the five SUS members behind him and Manager Chen exclaimed, “Holy shit!”

This is actually Jiang Song?!

On the other side, Manager Chen and others began to discuss calling Jiang’s father to ask if the usually serious Jiang Song had a twin brother who was a playboy. Meanwhile, Jiang Song confidently took the car keys he had taken from Manager Chen and drove away in his car.

The exhaust fumes of the car were full of joy, and they wafted all the way to the base.

As Jiang Song got out of the car and before he could lock it, he received a call from Manager Chen, who was urging him as if it were a matter of life and death.

Jiang Song picked up the phone and put it to his ear, “What?”

“I’ll give you a fart!” Manager Chen cursed him and then got to the point, warning him, “I’m telling you, when you go up to the building in the base, be sure to keep your usual cool and serious look and don’t let your playboy image pollute the good kids in the training camp!”

When kids are still impressionable, if Jiang Song flashes his playboy image in front of them like that, tomorrow the aunties will be sweeping up dust that they’re unhappy about, and the kids worldview will be shattered.

Jiang Song didn’t want to listen to him anymore, so he hung up the phone.

Manager Chen on the other end of the phone cursed and complained for a while after being hung up on.

In the “King of Glory” live broadcast competition, the first round was all about who could play longer, earning points by broadcasting for extended periods of time. Winning a round earned ten points, losing a round deducted ten points. Unless they were one of those god-like players, everyone had to accept their fate.

After hastily eating lunch, Xie Yao didn’t even wash his bowl and just sat on his chair all afternoon, playing games on his computer or switching to a new phone when the battery ran out.

To ensure that he didn’t lose time due to phone issues during the upcoming competition, Xie Yao bought a spare phone.

After all, there was a great risk of playing and charging the phone at the same time, so it was safer to switch between them.

This time, Xie Yao was prepared to play as long as possible. After all, the benefits of an A-level contract were more than just a little better than his C-level contract. In addition, he was also eyeing the prize money that he could win if he placed in the competition.

When Jiang Song arrived at the base, the aunt had left some food for him. After finishing his meal and taking a nap, when he picked up his phone again, the live broadcast room was still on, and the game sound effects were still ringing. The small anchor was staring at the phone with a very serious expression.

Jiang Song glanced at the time and it was already 7 pm. It had been five hours since the small anchor started the live broadcast in the afternoon, and judging by his appearance, he had no intention of ending the stream anytime soon.

Jiang Song scanned the broadcast screen and saw a corner of a bowl and chopsticks. Great, the small anchor hadn’t even moved from his position since before Jiang Song went to sleep, apparently still not finished with his meal.

Jiang Song looked at the time again: 7:45 pm.

Xie Yao’s game was heating up. The team fight had just erupted and all ten heroes were battling each other with skills and special effects flying across the screen.

Xie Yao was lucky this round. His teammates were decent, while the opposing team had two weak links.

During this team fight, Xie Yao’s team wiped out four of the opposing team. Xie Yao got a double kill and was about to secure the last kill when his backup phone, which was charging on the side, suddenly lit up and made a notification sound.

Xie Yao was determined to get the last kill, so without thinking, he quickly unlocked his backup phone with one hand while still playing the game with his other hand. He glanced at the game screen while also opening WeChat’s voice message.

“Are you not eating dinner on time and not listening to me?” a familiar voice came through, sounding reproachful and helpless.

The voice message continued, “I ordered food for you, and it’s on its way. Remember to…”

Xie Yao was initially confused for a second, but when he realized what was happening, he immediately muted the voice message. His heart was racing as he disregarded the last kill and turned to the barrage of comments.

Damn it, he accidentally played the voice message on speaker! As he had expected, the barrage exploded with comments.

: Oh my god, is that Boss Jiang’s voice??

: This conversation is so stimulating, have you both entered old couple mode in private?

: ‘Not listening again’, sorry, my blood sugar is low, I’m getting all mushy!!

: No, are you sure that’s Boss Jiang’s voice? I remember his voice being deeper and more magnetic??”

: Hiss, now that you mention it, I do think it sounds a bit like a retired pro player…

: F*ck, does that mean the streamer is two-timing??

: …Once you accept this premise…

…

The barrage of comments was like a thunderbolt hitting Xie Yao’s head directly. He looked at the barrage with a style that had been taken away and was full of “two-timing” all over the screen, which made him numb all over.

He clasped his phone tightly. In the game, the four teammates had already taken advantage of the fact that the other side was almost dead and directly pushed the crystal down. The base exploded in less than two seconds, and a big “victory” popped up.

They won the game, but Xie Yao felt that he had lost his innocence.

When he returned to the team page, the phone with the frequently used SIM card popped up another call, with the keyword “take-out” in the notes.

His phone was connected to the computer’s live broadcast room, and now, the live broadcast room’s hundred thousand viewers had all seen it.

: Yo yo yo, your take-out is here, why don’t you answer the phone and get your loving dinner~

: Remember to behave and eat everything~

After being called out by the barrage, Xie Yao was taken aback and muted the live stream. He got up, answered the phone, and went to get his takeout.

It was rare to find a delivery man who could find his way in the complex, so Xie Yao went downstairs to open the door for him. Finally, he went upstairs carrying the takeout with a strange look from the delivery man.

At this point, Xie Yao didn’t know why the delivery man made such a strange expression. But when he opened the takeout bag, a note fell out, and he finally understood.

It read:

── Missed Qixi Festival, but I won’t miss you~
