Aren't You Cold?

Since Yuuka had no objections either, Zhao Yu naturally would not miss this opportunity. In truth, he was also curious about what Yuuka looked like.

Although Yuuka's profile picture looked like a selfie, Zhao Yu had never confirmed it with her.

After all, if he asked something like, "Is that really you in your profile picture?" Zhao Yu felt it would sound a little too sleazy.

After simply changing into a slightly more presentable outfit, he started his stream again on his phone.

"Ahem, brothers, you're here to watch the stream again?" Zhao Yu said to the camera.

This was his first time showing his face on stream, so he was a little unaccustomed to it.

Unlike the long-distance video he had filmed for the Sound platform, this time Zhao Yu held the phone in his hand, exposing his entire face clearly to the stream.

[So damn handsome? I underestimated the streamer a little.]

[Don't you guys use the Sound platform? The streamer already blew up there once.]

[Why not become a looks streamer from now on? Why play games?]

[You're the one today.]

[Are you serious, person above?]

Looking at the Bullet Screen in the livestream, Zhao Yu secretly felt pleased. He was looking forward to Yuuka's reaction when they connected.

"Actually, you can't judge people just by appearances. I still hope everyone can get to know me more deeply."

Once he had more or less gotten used to it, Zhao Yu continued speaking and sent Yuuka a message.

[Get to know you more deeply? Hiss, streamer, something's not right with you.]

[Huh? What's wrong with that... oh~]

"What? This is a livestream, not some nightclub. Restrain yourselves!" Zhao Yu could not help complaining.

"Yuuka should be showing her face soon. I'll head to the kitchen and get things ready first, so look forward to it."

As he spoke, Zhao Yu placed his phone on the kitchen counter and started checking the ingredients in the refrigerator.

There was still some butter and eggs left. He remembered buying low-gluten flour, but he had barely used it. Naturally, he had sugar prepared as well.

Okay! He would take out the butter and let it soften for a while. Now he just had to wait for Yuuka's reply.

After taking the block of butter out of the refrigerator, Zhao Yu returned to his phone.

But the moment he looked at it, he spotted a comment hidden among the others.

[jackeylove: There's so much food and meat in your fridge.]

"Didn't Shuizi Ge say he was going to play ranked? Why are you still lurking in my stream?" Zhao Yu immediately dragged A Shui out into the open.

Before deciding to stream on his phone, he had asked A Shui whether he wanted to stay on voice chat with him, but A Shui had refused on the grounds that he was going to play ranked.

Yet before Zhao Yu had even gotten started, A Shui had exposed himself.

[jackeylove: ??? Your eyesight is that good? I specifically sent that when the Bullet Screen was crowded.]

On the other side, A Shui froze while watching Zhao Yu's stream from his own. He had not expected Zhao Yu to be so sharp-eyed just because he could not resist sending one comment.

A Shui recalled the red packet that a big spender from Zhao Yu's livestream had sent him on WeChat. He could not really be blamed for making an excuse to leave; some people simply gave too much.

[jackeylove: I'm in the ranked queue, so I'm watching your stream to kill time. When is Yuuka coming out?]

Although it was the big spender's request, A Shui himself also felt that being a third wheel was not very appropriate. He still preferred being a viewer.

"She should be here soon, right? By the way, don't you keep food in your fridge?" Zhao Yu asked after glancing at the comments.

[jackeylove: The fridge at the base is full of drinks. We don't need to cook for ourselves.]

"Tsk... having meals and accommodation provided is nice."

Zhao Yu had nearly forgotten that A Shui was at the club. Invictus Gaming's food had always seemed pretty good, or else A Shui would not have gradually gone from a handsome guy to becoming rounder.

As the two chatted idly, Yuuka finally sent Zhao Yu a message.

"Lord Yu, I'm ready. We can start now."

"Yuuka is ready, so I'll video call her first."

After seeing the message, Zhao Yu picked up his phone and sent Yuuka a video call.

Moments later, the call connected, and a beautiful young girl with a hint of nervousness appeared on the screen.

Her slightly wavy brown hair and dress made her look like a doll. A few loose strands fell casually over her shoulders, adding a touch of lazy charm.

Her face was delicate and petite, her skin as fair as snow with a faint rosy glow, like newly blossomed petals.

Her large eyes were lively and bright, fixed tightly on the screen at that moment, with an unusual glimmer shining within them.

[Woohoo! Just as I thought, she's as cute as her voice!]

[Now that I've seen Yuuka, I only have one thought: why wasn't I the one who hired Yuuka to play with me?]

[Got it. I'm placing an order for Yuuka right now!]

"L-Lord Yu, what do you think?" Yuuka asked nervously, blinking her eyes.

The reason she had taken so long to appear was because she had been touching up her makeup and choosing clothes. After all, this should count as the first time Zhao Yu had seen her, so she cared a great deal about it.

"Just as I thought, Yuuka looks exactly like her pictures," Zhao Yu praised.

"Huh? Like my pictures? Lord Yu, have you seen my pictures before?" Yuuka froze.

She had thought this was Zhao Yu's first time seeing her. She had even imagined the surprised look in his eyes, only to discover that he had already seen her photos.

"Even though you never sent me any pictures, your profile picture is a selfie of yourself, right?" Zhao Yu said.

"Ah! That's right." Yuuka froze for a moment before realizing it. She had wanted to give Zhao Yu a surprise, but she had forgotten that she used a selfie as her LINE profile picture.

"Still, even though I've seen your picture, I think you're even cuter in person." Zhao Yu noticed the flash of disappointment on Yuuka's face and roughly understood why.

"Hehe, it's not as exaggerated as you say." Yuuka smiled, her eyes curving like crescents, making it difficult for Zhao Yu to look away.

"Other than my face, did you notice anything else, Lord Yu?"

As she spoke, Yuuka placed her phone on the table and moved farther away from the camera.

She had searched for a long time before finding this favorite dress of hers today. Yuuka wanted Zhao Yu to praise her more.

Anything else? Zhao Yu carefully looked Yuuka over from head to toe.

"This outfit suits you too. You look like an elegant young lady."

"Hehe, Lord Yu is even more handsome than I imagined." The smile on Yuuka's face grew even brighter.

What could make someone happier than being praised by the person they liked?

"It's just..." Zhao Yu suddenly changed the subject.

"Aren't you cold wearing so little?"

Silence... Not only Yuuka, but even the livestream fell silent.

"There's heating in the apartment, so it's fine," Yuuka said flatly.

Although Lord Yu was usually quite socially aware, he still said unexpectedly strange things sometimes... Yuuka could not help sighing inwardly.

[I'm dying! The girl went through all that effort to dress up, and you ask her whether she's cold?]

[I kill without blinking, and you ask whether my eyes are dry?]

[All of a sudden, I feel like I actually have something in common with the streamer.]

Even A Shui could not help laughing. It seemed Zhao Yu was not as perfect as he had imagined...

Zhao Yu gave an awkward cough and quickly changed the subject.

"Um, let's start now. You should have prepared the ingredients for the cookies on your side, right?"

Heaven knew how those thoughtless words had come out of his mouth. Was it because Yuuka was too cute, so he had gotten nervous? Zhao Yu could not quite figure out what was wrong with him.

"I prepared them ages ago."

Yuuka picked up her phone again and looked at Zhao Yu's bright red earlobes, the corners of her lips lifting slightly. So that was it. Lord Yu wasn't as calm as he acted either. He seemed kind of cute...
