Soon, the livestream's viewership had climbed into the double digits, then into the dozens.
Gradually, it passed a hundred.
At that point, the numbers stalled for a little while. Wang Yaoxue raised an eyebrow and said, "It's stopped?"

Hundreds of people came across the livestream while scrolling through TikTok's local feed.
"Huh? Isn't that Wang Yi? He's livestreaming?"
"Really? I just checked Brother Yi's account, and there was no livestream."
