"Haha, if you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do about it."

Lin Xuan said this as he gathered dry firewood. He even made a fork to skewer the rabbit meat onto a branch. After finishing that, he lit the fire and placed the wild rabbit meat over the flames.

When roasting rabbit meat, it shouldn't be too close to the fire or too far away. Too close, and the meat will burn; too far, and it won't cook through. The rabbit meat should be about forty centimeters above the fire.

Once that was set, Lin Xuan went to the car to find seasonings. Roasting rabbit without cumin just wouldn't be satisfying. He also took out a bottle of white liquor, planning to take small sips while eating the rabbit—this kind of life was truly wonderful. He skillfully flipped the rabbit meat and sprinkled on the seasonings.

After a while, Lin Xuan could smell the aroma of the rabbit meat and the spices. "It smells really good."

Of course, he didn't finish roasting it all; he left one rabbit leg aside, so he could feed Xiao Qing later if she got hungry at night.

Sizzle~

The oil on the rabbit meat sizzled. The meat, originally pale and bloody, had now turned golden on the surface, with oil dripping down. It looked incredibly delicious.

In the livestream room, some viewers were even swallowing their saliva in front of their screens. "Boo, this roasted rabbit looks so tasty, but I can't eat it." "Yeah, me neither, but I just ordered takeout, so I can eat along with the streamer." "No choice, I'm ordering takeout too—when the streamer eats, I'll eat with him!"

About twenty minutes passed. Lin Xuan took a knife, cut off a small piece of the roasted rabbit meat, and tasted it. "Mm, my skills are still pretty good. This rabbit meat isn't too burnt."

Wow! Amazing! His mouth was full of fiery, boiling heat, an overwhelming sense of satisfaction. The meat, refined by the fire, was already fragrant, and with the added kick of pepper salt and chili sauce, it became even more flavorful—tender, crispy, savory, spicy—all bursting and dancing on his tongue in an instant, the delicious texture reaching the tip of his taste buds, filling his mouth with meaty aroma.

"Streamer, how does it taste?" "Yeah, don't just eat by yourself, tell us too." "Seeing you eat has awakened the food cravings in my stomach."

Lin Xuan finished the rabbit meat in his hand, looked at the comments in the livestream room, and smiled with pursed lips. "Dear viewers, this roasted rabbit meat is truly delicious, very tender. Too bad you can't eat it, so let me, the streamer, finish it for you all."

"Damn, streamer, you're so mean!" "Yeah, yeah, you know we can't eat it, and you still say that on purpose." "Men who are bad are loved—girls, do you still love the streamer?" "Love, no matter what the streamer does, I love him." "Same here."

Delicious food paired with a small cup of white liquor—this scene was truly enviable. "Looking at the streamer's environment and what he's eating now, I'm really jealous." "In the city, you can't get this stuff, and every day when you open your eyes, you already know what work you'll face." "Every day is the same template, repeating over and over." "Sometimes, I feel lost and bored, not knowing the meaning of this repetition." "So, I really envy the streamer's life." "Who isn't the same? Dealing with tons of work every day. Sometimes I'm tired and want to rest, but when I think of my kids at home, no matter how hard or bitter it is, I light a cigarette and still have to work." "Sigh, if I had the chance, I'd like to travel too, relax my body, and see the beautiful mountains and rivers of our country." "We're all the same—busy with work."

Lin Xuan was eating the roasted meat when he noticed the viewers in the livestream room suddenly getting sentimental. He put down the rabbit meat and cleared his throat. "Everyone, every person has a reason for existing. Since we've come into this world, we should live well. Although it's indeed tough, when you see your family's life getting better day by day, a natural smile will appear on your face at that time. So, there's no need to be sentimental. If you don't have time to travel, you can always come to my livestream room more often. I'll share the scenery and things here with you."

"Thank you, streamer."

"Before, I was busy just trying to get by, with all the burdens weighing down on me. Sometimes, I even thought about ending it all. But then I ran into some things, and after watching the streamer's livestream room, it showed me the beauty in life again."

"At that moment, I decided—I can't check out yet. I haven't seen the magnificent mountains and rivers of our homeland. When I'm old, retired, I'll definitely go appreciate them, travel the whole country!"

"Right! It's good to have a dream. I don't have any grand ambitions—I just want to share the beautiful things in these mountains with everyone. As long as you all enjoy watching, I'm happy too."

Just then, Xiao Qing came over to Lin Xuan's side. It didn't understand who Lin Xuan was talking to.

It stood upright, flicked its tongue, and let out a hissing sound.

"Haha, look, Xiao Qing is cheering you on too, telling you to keep going."

"Haha, streamer, Xiao Qing doesn't get any of this. You're just saying that on purpose, right?"

"But thanks anyway, streamer. I feel a lot lighter in my heart!"

"Alright, let's keep chatting. I've got to deal with this roast rabbit meat first, or it'll get cold, and then it won't taste good."

"Who would've thought—streamer, are you a foodie too?"

"Faced with good food, I believe anyone turns into a foodie."

While Lin Xuan ate the roast rabbit meat and chatted idly with the viewers, on the blog, a title named [Shocking! Streamer Cheers Up Viewers While Eating!] climbed into the top ten of the trending list.

Some passersby clicked on the title. Inside was a three-minute clip, paired with the viewers' bullet comments and Lin Xuan's comforting words.

"Heh, this streamer lives quite comfortably himself, yet he comes here to comfort the audience."

"And some viewers actually think the streamer is great."

"I bet this streamer is a rich second-generation, his family loaded, so he can afford all these expensive items and whatnot."

"Upstairs, even if the streamer is a rich second-gen with good family conditions, he's not flaunting his background—he's comforting the viewers. Isn't that a good character?"

"You guys clearly haven't watched the streamer's past replays. If you had, you wouldn't be saying that."
