Let Me See It Again! I Don't Believe It!

[IG Awesome tipped Rocket x50]

[IG Awesome: Not bad, didn't expect you to have this kind of skill. Interested in exchanging contact info?]

"Thank you to Boss IG Awesome for the tip, Boss is so generous!" Zhao Yu said as he watched the rockets fly across the screen, quickly expressing his thanks.

But exchanging contact info? Is he from the entertainment industry? Zhao Yu couldn't help but think.

It's clear he's interested in my songwriting ability since he wants to exchange contacts after hearing my song.

Although I don't really want to get involved in the entertainment industry, it wouldn't hurt if he just wanted me to write songs for him, right?

With that thought, Zhao Yu continued, "Of course! I'll send you a private message later."

[Is the streamer going to be taken care of?]

[Feels a bit like it...]

[Is the gay streamer finally going to sell himself?]

"Get out, get out, stop talking nonsense. I'm just normally thanking my fans," Zhao Yu rolled his eyes.

[Got it! Fan appreciation event, right? I'm very familiar with this]

[Oh? Something like that?]

[Quack, so the rich guy beat the streamer to his knees, probably to force him back to do Star Fury, right!]

Yuuka, who had been observing silently, saw these comments and her previously calm face instantly froze.

Could it be... Lord Yu is really going to...

"Okay, that's all for today's stream. See you all tomorrow."

After bantering with the comments for a while, Zhao Yu interacted with Yuuka for a bit longer before closing the stream as usual.

After the stream ended, he sent his contact information to the boss named 'IG Awesome' and quickly received a reply.

"Are you interested in becoming an artist under our company?"

So, this boss does have some connections in the entertainment industry... Zhao Yu showed a hint of an expected expression.

"Sorry, I'm not very interested in the entertainment industry, so I apologize." Zhao Yu quickly replied.

"However, if you need me to write songs in the future, I can offer you some discounts."

"No, I don't mean for you to step into the entertainment industry," Li Qingwan replied to Zhao Yu from her bed.

"Actually, I have some connections with Sound platform and wanted to ask if you're interested in developing with my MCN?"

Although her father didn't hold many shares in Sound platform, Li Qingwan knew very well that short videos would definitely be a major trend in the future.

So, she had been planning to incubate some influencers herself, preparing to get a piece of the pie in advance.

Sound platform? Zhao Yu's face showed a hint of surprise. MCN agencies were just beginning to develop in '18, and many people hadn't noticed this business opportunity.

I didn't expect there to be such talent in my stream, already running an MCN.

"I'm used to being free, so I still don't really want to consider this..." Zhao Yu thought for a moment and still chose to refuse Li Qingwan.

"Let's talk about it next time. Maybe I'll change my mind in the future."

After typing this line, Zhao Yu turned off his phone screen.

To be honest, he had considered the issue, but the operating methods of MCNs and entertainment agencies were actually quite similar. The difference was that one focused on personal branding, while the other focused on content production and channel distribution.

Once restricted, it wouldn't be much different from being a celebrity. Zhao Yu just wanted to be a free person and not be bound by anyone.

"So, I was rejected..."

Li Qingwan sighed. She vaguely sensed Zhao Yu's thoughts but couldn't help but want to try.

"But it's okay, you want freedom, so I'll give you freedom..."

As soon as she thought of Zhao Yu's creative talent displayed just now, Li Qingwan didn't want to miss out on such a talent.

Most importantly, shipping couples just on screen was nowhere near as satisfying as shipping them in real life, right? Once Zhao Yu was signed, would Yuuka be far behind?

At that time... Hmph hmph~ I'll ship them however I want, no one can stop me from shipping them!

But before that, she still had to discuss it with her dad and see if she could get better terms for Zhao Yu.

After thinking for a moment, she opened her contacts and dialed her dad's number.

On the other side, in Yuuka's apartment.

Lying on the bed, Yuuka tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Her mind replayed the teasing comments from earlier, and she suddenly sat up.

"Since I can't sleep anyway, I'll just edit today's recorded video."

She went to her computer, and while editing, she searched for information. She planned to include some of Huaxia's customs and traditions in addition to editing.

This, combined with her previous explanations during the stream, should allow the Japanese people to get a good understanding of Huaxia.

Yuuka hadn't forgotten the incident in Tokyo. She hoped that through this video, some Japanese people would reflect on their mistakes.

But as soon as she isolated the clip of Zhao Yu singing spontaneously, Yuuka stopped what she was doing.

I still care about it, don't I... Patting her face, Yuuka hesitated for a moment before picking up her phone from the table.

"Lord Yu, are you asleep?"

Buzz buzz! Zhao Yu, lying on the bed in a daze, felt his phone vibrate and picked it up.

Could it be that boss hasn't given up yet? Huh? It's Yuuka? What does she want with me?

"Not asleep yet, what's up? Yuuka."

"It's nothing, I just… I just wanted to ask if you were chatting with that boss who sent gifts?"

Yuuka had originally planned to ask if he had already arranged to meet privately, but out of shyness, she chose to beat around the bush.

"Huh? No? He's from the MCN, he wanted to sign me but I refused," Zhao Yu replied.

"Is that so? That's good then," Yuuka replied quickly.

"I thought you were going to meet him offline."

After typing this sentence, she quickly recalled it, as if Yuuka realized she was paying a bit too much attention to this matter.

"??? You don't actually think what the bullet comments said is true, do you?"

Zhao Yu saw Yuuka's message before she recalled it at a glance and replied with a wry smile.

"No, I just… I was just afraid Lord Yu would be deceived, there are a lot of online scams after all!"

Yuuka's reaction this time was much faster than before.

"Oh~ is that so~"

Zhao Yu was amused. If anyone was likely to be deceived, it would be a naive sweet girl like Yuuka. He, on the other hand, was dark and twisted.

"Actually, I've recently found that my video income is quite good. If Lord Yu is really short on money, I'll send you a reward in a while."

Yuuka continued to reply earnestly to Zhao Yu. She was genuinely worried that Zhao Yu would agree to certain things for money.

As for why she was so worried, Yuuka couldn't quite explain it. The mere thought of Zhao Yu meeting people from the livestream privately made her feel uncomfortable.

"What are you thinking? I'm not gay, don't worry, I won't sell my dignity," Zhao Yu replied.

The livestream was just playing along with a meme, who would actually be gay? He only liked sweet and soft girls.

"By the way, aren't you paying a bit too much attention to this matter?" Zhao Yu asked.

"No wonder you weren't talking much later on, so that's why."

This girl really couldn't keep things to herself. He felt that if they met, he could guess what she was thinking just by looking at her expression.

"I'm not! I'm just kindly reminding you! Yes! Just a kind reminder! You… you shouldn't overthink things!"

Yuuka's face turned red again, her typing fingers trembling slightly, feeling the awkwardness of being caught by the teacher for making small movements in class.

"Alright, alright, don't worry, I won't be deceived. Yuuka, you too. If any such agencies approach you, you can tell me first, and I'll find someone to help take a look."

Zhao Yu recalled the boss who had added him. Although he hadn't agreed to sign, he probably wouldn't refuse to let him look at the contract, right?

"I know, goodnight then, Lord Yu."

"Goodnight, Yuuka."

After putting down his phone, Zhao Yu finally felt a hint of sleepiness. Recalling the livestream and his recent conversation with Yuuka, he felt the fluttering in his heart growing stronger.

She probably doesn't like me, does she? No, no, no… it must be my imagination, and we're so far apart, how could it be.

Shaking his head, Zhao Yu cast aside the unrealistic thoughts and closed his eyes, falling asleep.

"Ugh… Yuuka, you idiot! Why are you suddenly paying so much attention to Lord Yu?" Yuuka rubbed her face, which still felt hot.

She didn't understand what was wrong with her today; she was acting even stranger than before.

"It's definitely because I watched that video with Lord Yu!" she muttered to herself, recalling the fan-made animation they had watched together.

Fan-made animations themselves had a strong suggestive nature, and watching them with the person involved could easily lead to overthinking.

"How could I fall for a guy I've never even met? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

After calming down a bit, Yuuka's peripheral vision caught the editing software on her computer screen. The interface was paused at the recording of the fan-made animation she had watched with Zhao Yu.

"If I watch it again and don't overthink, then it proves I was just too shy watching it with Lord Yu…"

Thinking this, Yuuka clicked play.

Two minutes later, Yuuka clutched her pounding chest, a look of disbelief on her face.

"Watch it again! I don't believe it!"

Before the new book is released, it's likely only possible to update four times a day. However, once it's released, the old book will also be finished, and then it should be possible to update six or eight times a day. So, if you want to save it for later, you can do so after it's released, which would be more suitable.
