Why Do Single People Watch This Video?

"Wow~"

"Those are the Dark Repulser and the Elucidator, right?" Dao Dao Zi curiously examined the display case on the wall of the craft room and asked, "Can I take them down and play with them?"

"Sure." Chen Wen reached out and took down the two swords, helped Dao Dao Zi put on the sword belt, then slid the swords into it.

Dao Dao Zi immediately transformed into a scruffy wandering swordsman with twin blades on his back. He struck a couple of poses in the open space of the craft room, then went to draw the swords behind him—

Only for them to get stuck halfway out.

"What a flop, what a flop!" Chi Hun De Tu Zi and Si Jiao Ji clapped and laughed from the side. "The whole thing fell apart. That was so lame!"

Dao Dao Zi awkwardly took the swords off his back and returned them to the display case. "This length is way too unfriendly for me."

"Is this the Demon Blade Thousand Blades you're making?" Si Jiao Ji leaned over the messy craft table and looked at the resin fragments scattered all over it.

"Yeah." Chen Wen thought for a moment, switched off the craft room lights, then walked over to the window and drew the curtains.

The craft room curtains were thick. Once they were closed, the entire room was plunged into darkness, leaving only the fragments on the table to emit a faint purple glow that reflected off everyone's faces.

"Holy shit!"

"That's awesome! It glows?"

"Are you going to glue all of these back together one by one?"

Chen Wen pulled the curtains open again and walked over to the craft table. "I need to label each fragment with a number, then piece them back together and glue them with 502."

"Then I'll fill the gaps with resin. I might need a vacuum pump too, otherwise there'll be bubbles, and it'll break easily."

"I'm making the hilt too. I just finished the pattern, but it still needs more polishing."

The trio only half understood, nodded, wandered around for a bit, then planned to head out and wait for the delivery.

Just then, Dao Dao Zi, who was walking at the back, suddenly stopped Chen Wen and asked, "When do you think this blade will be done?"

Chen Wen paused. "Probably by the end of the month. If things go quickly, around the twenty-fifth or twenty-sixth."

"Then can I come find you and film a video when it's done? And borrow the blade, while I'm at it." Dao Dao Zi said, "I've recently been collaborating with Momo on a shut-in challenge, and I have an idea for your blade."

Chen Wen fell silent for a moment. Remembering Jiang Qiuyi's earlier reminder, he nodded. "Sure. Contact me if you need it."

The group left the craft room. Since the delivery had not arrived yet, they sat on the sofa for a while.

After chatting for a bit, Si Jiao Ji, who had been scrolling through Bilibili, suddenly went, "Hm?" She looked up at Chen Wen, then lowered her gaze to her phone again.

"What's up?" Rabbit asked curiously from beside her.

"Uh... isn't this Gu Wen?" Si Jiao Ji showed the others her phone. A video was displayed on the screen—

[Boyfriend Gives a Dagger as a Children's Day Gift; Last Time, It Was Wu San...]

Uploader—Xiao Yi and her Wood.

"This username... Qiuyi's real name is Jiang Qiuyi, right? Is this your alt?" Dao Dao Zi turned to Jiang Qiuyi and asked.

"Huh?" Jiang Qiuyi, who had just changed back into her normal clothes, ran over and immediately broke into a delighted smile. "Yeah! Did it get recommended?"

"Not sure," Si Jiao Ji said. "But it got pushed onto my homepage. It's already passed ten thousand views."

"Not bad. It's only your first video," Rabbit remarked. "Didn't you promote it with your main account?"

"No. Don't tell anyone either." Jiang Qiuyi shook her head. "I'm just having fun with this alt. For now, I don't plan to reveal its connection to my main account."

"You're opening up a whole new field—the top influencer in the couple-content category!" Si Jiao Ji teased.

Jiang Qiuyi sat down beside Chen Wen and laughed. "It's been out for a whole day and only has ten thousand views. Top influencer, my ass."

"It's the first video on a new account. That makes it different." Si Jiao Ji shook her head and gave her assessment. "I think this direction really has potential."

The delivery arrived.

Everyone sat down at the dining table to eat.

Jiang Qiuyi went to the restroom, and Chen Wen opened her spicy chicken meal. Using his chopsticks, he picked out the peppers one by one.

"What are you doing?" Dao Dao Zi asked in confusion.

"She doesn't eat peppers. She always has to pick them all out before eating," Chen Wen replied.

"..."

Si Jiao Ji rubbed her arm. "I feel like deciding to eat lunch here was a mistake."

"Seriously." Rabbit nodded in agreement. "If all this lovey-dovey stuff makes me fat, I'm coming after you two."

Dao Dao Zi patted Si Jiao Ji. "If we get stomach problems from overeating couple content, does that count as a workplace injury?"

"Sure. I'm not reimbursing it anyway."

After some joking around, they quickly finished lunch, said goodbye to Chen Wen and Jiang Qiuyi, and headed for their next stop.

After seeing them off, the two returned to the bedroom, intending to take a short nap.

Lying on the bed, Jiang Qiuyi held her phone and read the comments on her alt account's video.

[Half Obsessed卍Double Madness]: Do you guys think I'm pathetic? I'm single, yet I came here to watch couple content with this auntie smile on my face. Am I sick?

[Breeze Brushing Robes]: A seasoned single person really does know how to find their own couple content to consume.

[King Zhou Loves Daji]: Burp~ I'm stuffed~

[Dragon LOL]: This reminds me of the mental arithmetic flash cards I gave my third-grade cousin. (Smirk)

[There Is a Bear in the Northern Abyss]: Giving a dagger as a gift—Jing Ke Assassinating the King of Qin, carrying two hairy legs on his shoulders~ (Dog Head)

[Uploader—Wild Goose Feather Flying Swan]: This boyfriend is a certified conversation killer! (Shocked Cat.JPG)

[APTX3869&Fate]: Xiao Yi: I'm never playing this stupid game again! A few minutes later, Xiao Yi: Ah, it really does smell great~

[White Sugar Isn't Sweet QAQ]: I get it now. The difference between me and this Wood is just one face. It has nothing to do with whether someone is a straight man or not!

Jiang Qiuyi looked at those comments, her face beaming with a sense of accomplishment.

She had not experienced this feeling in a long time.

Her main account felt like a child she had raised to adulthood. Once it grew too large, it became hard to fuss with.

But the alt account was like a newborn baby, making her especially want to tease and play with it.

"Time for a nap. Put your phone away."

Chen Wen lay down and pulled the blanket over himself.

"Look, look." Jiang Qiuyi held the phone in front of him and leaned almost entirely against Chen Wen. "The comments are all so funny."

"...Yeah." Chen Wen had no response.

He glanced at the stats. In just over half an hour, the views had already reached twenty thousand. It had probably really been picked up by some recommendation on the site.

And then there were these comments...

How strange. Why did single people watch this video?

Unable to figure it out, Chen Wen took Jiang Qiuyi's phone, set it on the bedside table, then tucked her in. "Take a nap. I still need to keep making the Demon Blade Thousand Blades this afternoon."

"Okay." Jiang Qiuyi pulled Chen Wen's arm over and rested her head on it. "Give me your other hand."

Chen Wen closed his eyes to sleep and held his right hand out over his chest for her.

Jiang Qiuyi clearly was not very sleepy yet. Her two little hands held Chen Wen's large hand as she traced circles and doodled across it.

Taking off the ring on her hand, Jiang Qiuyi used one hand to hold Chen Wen's finger and make him hold the ring. With the other, she reached out and slowly used Chen Wen's hand to put the ring back on herself.

After putting the ring back on, Jiang Qiuyi curled up against Chen Wen's shoulder and secretly giggled for a while. Once sleepiness came over her, she held Chen Wen's hand and gradually fell asleep.

[Pu Jie Ri Ji]: Yesterday's recommendation votes: 1500+. Current chapters owed: +2. I regret it a little. I thought you guys might only manage that once every day or two, but... at this rate, by the time it goes premium, I'll probably owe more than twenty chapters...
