Zhang Daxian: "Don't stir things up in the chat. You need to understand our different levels: what's Brother Yi's status, and what's mine? Stop comparing me to him. I'm not even fit to carry his shoes. Now that Brother Yi's streaming, I've got to send him a Carnival gift."
Feng Timo: "I'm not doing an outdoor stream today. I'm going to watch the game in Yi's livestream and send him a Huazi while I'm there."

One by one, they found themselves yearning to experience it.
