"Master Xiao (the scoundrel), who pretended to be banned, finally got unbanned (went live)!!!"
"Master Xiao is lying through his teeth. If he really missed us, he would've streamed the next day!"
"Let the whole world celebrate!"
"Please fasten your seat belts, comrades. Woohoo, we're taking off!"
"LMAO!"
"My youth is back!"
"Hubby, boohoo, your wives missed you so much!"
"Reporting in, hubby! Your harem group has officially passed three thousand wives, all waiting for Master Xiao to grace us with his favor!"
"LMAO! At one a day, we'd be waiting ten years for our turn!"
"Wow! My tears of envy are flowing out of the corners of my mouth!"
"I spent this whole week trading insults with those assholes online. Haters were everywhere, calling Master Xiao a fraud, saying it was all scripted, and claiming he got banned because the platform decided he was a scammer! I was furious, but it was also pretty satisfying. Really made me feel like everyone else was drunk and I was the only one sober."
"Hahaha, same here! I was still fighting with keyboard warriors just a minute ago!"
"You think that's bad? I'm the king of freeloaders, and they actually called me a brain-dead fan. Now I'd feel unworthy of that title if I didn't send a few gifts today..."
"There are actually freeloaders in Master Xiao's stream? Before I even hit follow, I'd already broken the no-gifting code I'd painstakingly stuck to for twenty years."
Today's Lucky Winner: "Here's a quick rundown of the numbers. Master Xiao probably has the most incredible fans out there: 162,000 followers, over 161,000 viewers online, and a gifting rate above 99%. He's made streaming history!"
Today's Lucky Winner: "For perspective, other streamers with ten million followers are already doing amazingly well if they get a hundred thousand or so viewers! Never mind having everyone send gifts."
"Awesome! Off-the-charts awesome!"
"Master Xiao is incredible!"
"Wait, there are actually people freeloading without sending gifts? How stingy can you be? You won't even send free gifts?"
"Reporting in! I've got two accounts open, and my alt is idling for experience! Sorry, I'm dragging Master Xiao's numbers down!"
Feeling his viewers' overwhelming enthusiasm, Xiao Yu couldn't stop grinning.
As for the haters, he didn't care at all. No matter what kind of hater someone was, once they watched his stream, they would eventually become a die-hard fan.
As for paid trolls with ulterior motives who attacked him just for the sake of it, they were simply muted and banned.
Xiao Yu: "I can feel your enthusiasm, everyone, but streaming and telling fortunes every single day really is exhausting. I'm revealing heaven's secrets here, and warding off heavenly punishment takes a lot of energy!"
Xiao Yu: "By the way, I've worked things out with Miss Xia Mo. Starting today, we're trying our first joint stream. And we won't just be collaborating remotely-we'll be streaming together in person. She's on her way to my place now and should be here soon."
Xiao Yu: "After all, if we did it over video, with me telling fortunes on one end and her singing and dancing on the other, it would feel a little awkward."
"OHHH, that's exciting!"
"Fantastic!! We've finally got the good news we've been waiting for!"
"Master Xiao, I love you! Momo, I love you too!!"
The viewers in the stream erupted in cheers.
Xiao Yu: "All right, it's time for today's fortune-telling session!"
"Let the fun begin!!"
"Bring on our first lucky viewer who's about to change their destiny!"
"Jin, get out here! You should give us an update!"
Changshan Zhao Ergou: "Master Xiao, let me go first!"

The video call connected.
Jin Hong: "Thank you so much, Master Xiao. These ten rockets are just a small token of my gratitude. I hope you'll accept them!"
As he spoke, he bent forward in a deep bow to the camera!
Xiao Yu: "You're too kind. That's twenty thousand yuan. Why wouldn't I accept it?"
Jin Hong: "Let me give everyone an update first. Back then, I beat the hell out of that scumbag and took him to the police station. Since I kept thinking about Master Xiao's prediction, I followed what happened afterward closely for the next few days. Sure enough, two days after I took him to the station, that bastard killed himself. That more or less brought things to a close, and I finally avenged the girl I loved."
"Good news! That's really good news!"
"Queue up the battle anthem!"
"BGM 'Good Days' is now playing!"
Looking at the grief Jin Hong couldn't hide beneath his calm expression, Xiao Yu couldn't help sighing.
"Mr. Jin, would you like a reading on your love life?"
Jin Hong: "I don't think that's necessary, is it? I still haven't fully come to terms with things. If I start pursuing another relationship this soon..."
"If you miss this chance, it'll be gone. Why not take my advice and at least see what the girl looks like?"
"Well..."
Jin Hong was still hesitating, but some sharp-eyed viewers had already noticed Xiao Yu's attitude.
"Jin, don't be stupid! When has Master Xiao ever been this eager? Go take a look. There's bound to be a huge surprise!"
"Exactly, Jin. What's the harm in taking a look?"
"That girl wouldn't want the man she loved to stay miserable forever either. Taking a look won't hurt!"
Jin Hong: "All right, then, Master Xiao. I'd like a reading on my love life."

Xiao Yu: "Drive to the main gate of Yanjing University right now and park there. You should be nearby, right?"
"Yes. I'll head over and take a look, then."
Although Jin Hong was completely confused, he didn't dwell on it and drove straight over.
About ten minutes later, he parked at the intersection.
"Master Xiao, I'm here. This really takes me back. This is where I went to university. If I'd come out to celebrate my birthday back then, everything would've been different. Sigh..."
"Mr. Jin, starting now, watch the timer on your phone. At 17:52:35, open the door and get out. Then you'll discover something truly amazing."
"Oh? Got it."
Jin Hong scratched his head in bewilderment, his mind full of questions.
The viewers were also discussing it among themselves, letting their imaginations run wild.
"Maybe Jin will hit a girl when he opens the door, and then romance will blossom?"
"That's way too clichéd. Besides, why does he have to hit a girl?"
"Haha, maybe Master Xiao has a twisted sense of humor. Or maybe that's what he foresaw?"
"Here's my wild guess: when he opens the door and gets out, he'll end up face-to-face with a girl and accidentally kiss her!"
"I'll take a guess too. Master Xiao is being so mysterious and going out of his way to persuade him. Maybe Jin's new love looks a lot like that girl!"
"You've cracked it. Now that you've said it, I suddenly have that feeling too!"
Inside the car.
Reading the viewers' chat, Jin Hong's heart lurched.
But after that sudden flutter, he shook his head.
What would it matter, even if she looked exactly like her? She'd still be a different person.
A faint bitterness tugged at the corners of his mouth.
His childhood sweetheart was already dead. That was a fact.
Knock, knock, knock.
Jin Hong looked up and saw a security guard.
"Sir, you can't park here. Sorry for the trouble, but please move your car."
Jin Hong checked the time. There were only a few dozen seconds left, so he said hesitantly, "Hey, just give me a minute or two. I'll leave right away."
"All right, then."
Five, four, three, two, one.
He counted down silently.
He opened the door and got out!
The instant he stepped out.
He froze!
