[Tsk! You think you're so great now?]
[The streamer really knows how to describe things.]
[As expected, as soon as the Japanese girl shows up, the entertainment value skyrockets.]
The viewers who were about to leave because Yuuka wasn't coming stayed after she arrived.
With the help of the unofficial subtitles, they were able to watch Zhao Yu and Yuuka's conversation in real-time.
As a result, Zhao Yu, whom everyone thought was a master of emotions, actually said something so straightforward that it made everyone chuckle.
"Mmm... Anyway, it's all Yu-kun's fault!"
It took Yuuka a while to understand the meaning of "inflated" and, unable to find a suitable retort, she could only mumble softly.
"That's really sad, Yuuka..." Zhao Yu's voice sounded a little dejected.
"Huh?" Yuuka noticed the change in Zhao Yu and let out a soft, uneasy gasp.
"We were having such a good time earlier. I thought you, who were interested in China, would also really like Chinese food, so I sent you that picture late at night." Zhao Yu paused, then continued as if deeply hurt.
"But you're blaming me for making you gain weight. It's too heartbreaking. I thought we were friends, but this is how you see me."
Hearing Zhao Yu's words, Yuuka clearly panicked. She quickly and anxiously explained, "I didn't really mean to blame you, it's just... it's just..."
In reality, the reason she hadn't replied at first was partly due to her resentment about gaining a little weight, but more so due to some unwritten rules.
It was a common habit among Japanese people not to reply to messages too quickly, as they felt it would put too much pressure on the other person. So, Yuuka naturally did the same.
She even felt a little shy thinking about her reply speed yesterday, wondering if it made Zhao Yu think she was an overbearing girl.
Yuuka forgot that Zhao Yu was Chinese and had no idea about these unwritten rules in Japan. After waiting only a few minutes, he said he would find another companion player.
This made Yuuka anxious. She thought Zhao Yu had a great time playing with her yesterday and genuinely considered her a friend.
Now, Zhao Yu was turning around to find another companion player, and Yuuka felt like she was just overthinking things.
So, she borrowed Zhao Yu's behavior from last night to vent her dissatisfaction.
But Zhao Yu's move now completely threw Yuuka off.
She didn't know how to explain to Zhao Yu. If she said she was angry because of something like this, wouldn't it seem very childish?
So, she really was a friend in his heart? And she had been so willful. What should she do? Yuuka's mind was in a mess, and she couldn't think of how to explain.
Wait, she actually believed him? Hearing Yuuka's flustered voice, Zhao Yu was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.
Isn't this girl too naive? She believes anything he says.
In fact, Zhao Yu's original intention last night was to tease her with late-night food pictures. He thought Yuuka had figured it out and was just making up an excuse.
He didn't expect Yuuka to actually start explaining to him because of his nonsense, and she even seemed extremely anxious.
[Be a human, streamer.]
[You're still explaining? Who would believe it wasn't late-night food teasing?]
[Are Japanese girls that easy to fool? She believes such an absurd reason.]
The bullet comments weren't like Yuuka; they understood Zhao Yu's true intentions after listening for a short while.
After all, in China, who doesn't have a mischievous friend who constantly posts late-night food pictures? Everyone has probably done something similar to some extent.
"Ahem, alright, no need to explain. I'm actually not angry with Yuuka." Seeing Yuuka still anxiously explaining, Zhao Yu quickly stopped her.
"Yu-kun isn't angry?" Yuuka asked weakly.
"No, why would I be angry with you?" Zhao Yu said.
"Yu-kun is truly a good person!" Yuuka breathed a sigh of relief and praised Zhao Yu.
"Pfft..." Zhao Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Zhao Yu was sure that if Yuuka were in front of him, he could probably trick her into coming home with him.
"What are you laughing at, Yu-kun?" Yuuka asked, a little confused.
"Nothing, I just thought of something funny," Zhao Yu said.
"Something funny?"
"Nothing, what should we play today?"
Zhao Yu didn't explain further to Yuuka and changed the subject.
"Mmm, I have exams coming up soon, so I'm not really in the mood to play games," Yuuka said somewhat sheepishly.
"Then why did you accept my order?" Now it was Zhao Yu's turn to feel guilty. He just remembered that the end of the semester was approaching.
"But, didn't Yu-kun say that if I didn't accept the order, you would find someone else?" Yuuka said softly.
[Tsk tsk tsk, case closed, the Japanese girl is secretly crushing on the streamer!]
[No way? My Japanese girl is taken by the streamer just like that?]
[This is fake, hahahahaha, stop trying to trick me!]
The bullet comments seemed to sense something was off and immediately started flooding the screen.
"Yuuka, do you not like playing games with me and other people?" Zhao Yu asked.
"No, don't misunderstand! I just... I just think others wouldn't click with Yu-kun as well as I do... No, I mean... it's just..." Yuuka began to explain incoherently.
"Okay, I actually do care a little about this."
After explaining for a long time without getting anywhere, Yuuka seemed to give up resisting and revealed her true feelings.
"Since you care so much, then let's make a promise. I'll only play games with you from now on," Zhao Yu suddenly said.
"Huh? Yu-kun... why?"
"Aren't we friends? Listening to a friend's thoughts is only right, isn't it?"
"Thank you, Yu-kun," Yuuka said.
Immediately after, Zhao Yu seemed to hear a very quiet murmur.
"I've made another friend, that's nice..."
It seems this Yuuka has a story that he doesn't know about, Zhao Yu thought to himself.
He had actually vaguely sensed Yuuka's inexplicably soaring affection for him. While others might not think much of this situation, Zhao Yu, who used to work in foreign trade and often dealt with Japanese people, understood these awkward individuals very well.
They were actually very introverted. Even if they appeared friendly on the surface, they would always maintain an appropriate distance in their hearts.
Sometimes, you might think you're friends, but in reality, it's just their normal politeness.
Yuuka's situation was definitely an anomaly among Japanese people. After only playing games for an afternoon, she had become this familiar with him. Any other Japanese person wouldn't be like this.
"If we can't play games, should we find something else to do?" Zhao Yu asked.
"Okay, Yu-kun, what do you want to do? If it's just chatting, it won't delay my studying later," Yuuka said.
"Let me think..." Zhao Yu pondered for a while, looking at the comments in his livestream, and suddenly had an idea.
"How about we ask each other questions about things we're interested in?"
"Huh? Ask each other questions?"
"Yes, actually, many new viewers have come to my livestream, and everyone is very interested in Yuuka. If you don't mind, I'll randomly select some questions to ask you," Zhao Yu said.
"Of course, after I'm done asking, you can ask me some questions too."
"Ask Yu-kun questions?" Yuuka's eyes gradually lit up.
"Okay! When do we start?"
