"Cough, cough, this issue is a bit too sensitive. How about we change the topic?" Although he thought this, Zhao Yu still considered the sensitive topic and suggested to Yuuka.

He didn't know about others, but Yuuka was studying at Ochanomizu University. With the prestige of that school producing female politicians, it was hard to say.

"What do you mean? I think my idea is pretty good. Japan is terrible right now anyway," Yuuka complained.

Girl, your ideas are dangerous!

[Good heavens, after all this, the Japanese girl is an international friend?]

[Haha, the streamer is really amazing, to actually find such talent.]

"Cough, cough, didn't Yuuka say she was a video blogger before? How are the videos coming along?" Zhao Yu changed the subject subtly.

Although Zhao Yu actually agreed with Yuuka, he didn't want to be bothered by some Akita dogs.

"Ah! I was just looking at the comments!" Yuuka got excited as soon as this was mentioned, completely forgetting what they were talking about.

"I edited the video of us playing games together, and it already has tens of thousands of views!"

"Yuuka, you're amazing!"

Tens of thousands of views? Are Japanese people actually very interested in China?

"It's not that amazing. Actually, many people came for Lord Yu," Yuuka said shyly.

"I'm sorry for uploading your live stream content online without permission."

"You don't need to apologize. You can record it whenever you want in the future. This can be considered expanding my business," Zhao Yu said.

He couldn't control the foreign internet anyway, so he might as well let Yuuka make highlight clips for him.

"Huh? Really?" Yuuka was a little surprised but quickly calmed down and continued, "Then I'll give 80% of the video revenue to Lord Yu."

"Ah? There's no need, really... You worked hard editing the videos, just keep it for yourself. Aren't we friends?" Zhao Yu replied, stunned for a moment.

It probably isn't much money, right? My own live stream is already picking up. It's better to let Yuuka keep this money for herself.

"No, the video became popular because of you, so I can't take all the credit!" Although Yuuka was a bit silly, she was surprisingly persistent about this.

"And aren't we friends? If you say that, it makes me feel like you're looking down on me!"

"Alright, alright. Then let's split it fifty-fifty. You don't need to refuse any further," Zhao Yu finally decided.

"Mmm... I understand," Yuuka agreed reluctantly.

[Huh? What's going on? The Japanese girl is actively giving money?]

"No way? There are people like that?"

"Thank you, streamer, for letting me see that there are still people in the world who value morality."

Indeed, such people are too rare. Zhao Yu looked at the bullet comments in the live stream, feeling a sense of emotion.

Yuuka could have said nothing and kept the video's profits for herself. After all, Zhao Yu wasn't primarily developing on foreign platforms. Many small video sites even edited his videos without asking him.

But Yuuka still brought it up and was willing to give him 80% of the income. This level of morality surpassed many, including Zhao Yu himself.

"I'm a bit curious, why are they interested in me?" Zhao Yu asked.

He didn't quite understand why foreign audiences would be interested in a small streamer like him. Was it the game? Or his witty remarks?

Could Japanese people even understand his jokes? Zhao Yu wasn't sure himself.

"Because Lord Yu's voice is very nice, and you sing very well too!" Yuuka answered without hesitation.

"Your popularity is even higher than mine... Everyone is discussing you."

"That exaggerated?" Zhao Yu couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's the reality, which is why I wanted to share the video revenue with you, because it's all thanks to you," Yuuka said.

Zhao Yu could sense Yuuka's reluctance and quickly comforted her, "Actually, my situation is the opposite of yours?"

"Huh?"

"Yuuka is extremely popular in China. Most people who come to my stream are here to see Yuuka."

"Is... is that so?" Yuuka stammered.

"Everyone likes me?"

"Yes, everyone likes Yuuka very much," Zhao Yu affirmed.

"That's strange. I'm clearly ordinary, and I can't sing like Lord Yu. How could people like me?" Yuuka said with insecurity.

"That's because Yuuka has always been a very cute person. You're gentle, have your own principles, and are a very kind girl," Zhao Yu said.

Cute... kind? Yuuka stared at the computer screen, her face flushing.

"C-cute and kind, I-I'm not like that at all! I'm just a very ordinary person!"

"No, you're not ordinary at all. In my eyes, Yuuka is very special," Zhao Yu said again.

Such a girl was indeed someone Zhao Yu had never met before. Moreover, she was the first girl to call him Lord Yu, making her absolutely more special than other girls.

But in Yuuka's ears, these words seemed to have a different meaning. Yuuka felt that the entire room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere, making her flustered, her heart pounding.

"Don't tease me! If you do this again, I won't talk to you anymore!"

"Okay, okay. In any case, we have a mutually beneficial relationship, so you don't need to feel burdened," Zhao Yu said helplessly.

"I... I understand," Yuuka mumbled softly.

"Since Lord Yu's audience likes me so much, should I say hello to them again?"

As if wanting to respond to everyone's feelings, Yuuka suggested.

[Yay! It's the Japanese girl's greeting segment again!]

[I'm ready to record, hurry up!]

[I've been waiting for this day!]

At this moment, the bullet comments also started to stir in unison, but Zhao Yu's eyes darted, and he had another idea.

"Just saying hello is a bit too ordinary. How about singing a song?"

"Huh? Singing? Can I do that?" Yuuka hesitated.

"It's okay, it's just a simple children's song. I'll teach you, and you can learn it in a few minutes," Zhao Yu said.

"Then I'll trouble you, Lord Yu!" Yuuka said.

"Everyone, please look forward to it." Zhao Yu glanced at the livestream and muted the call with Yuuka.

[??? Eating alone?]

[No, why is there no sound all of a sudden?]

[What is the streamer preparing to do? I'm unfollowing if this continues]

The bullet comments scrolled wildly until a few minutes later, Zhao Yu turned the sound back on.

"Ahem, don't call out! I just went to teach Yuuka how to sing. Now I'll show you guys my talent!"

[I knew the streamer was a good bro and wouldn't eat alone]

[No need to say more, good bros for life!]

Hearing Zhao Yu's words, the bullet comments immediately changed their tune.

"Then let's begin, Yuuka," Zhao Yu said to Yuuka.

"Okay, okay! Next is a children's song that Lord Yu taught me. I hope everyone likes it." Yuuka's first sentence was in Japanese, but she quickly coughed lightly and began to sing in Chinese.

"Elephant, elephant, why is your trunk so long?"

"TMD, fuck your mother, I'm a giraffe."

Yuuka's other words had a Japanese soldier's accent, but only TMD and "fuck your mother" were spoken with perfect pronunciation.

[?????]

[I knew it! The streamer always comes up with ridiculous things!]

[Give me back my pure and cute Japanese girl!]
