God Xu!

That afternoon, the production team took the rare step of suspending the broadcast for half a day to prepare for the next day's big event.

Xu Wang and the others also got some free time.

Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan planned to take an afternoon nap.

With Xu Wang there to soothe him, Pei Yanchuan, who had not taken afternoon naps for years, slept very soundly this time.

At nearly two in the afternoon, Xu Wang opened his eyes. Pei Yanchuan was still fast asleep. Remembering that he had not rested well these past few days, Xu Wang carefully lifted the covers and got out of bed.

Before leaving, Xu Wang also tucked the covers snugly around him.

Xu Wang gently closed the bedroom door.

Xu Wang headed toward the stairs. Just as he rounded the corner, he ran into Yun Xi coming from the opposite direction.

Yun Xi's hair looked like a bird's nest, and he was bleary-eyed all over. One look was enough to tell that he had only just woken up.

"Hi~" Yun Xi gave a huge yawn when he saw Xu Wang.

Xu Wang smiled and waved at him.

The two went downstairs together. There was no one in the first-floor living room. It looked like everyone was resting in their rooms, and the production crew had probably gone out with the director to set up the venue.

Xu Wang went into the kitchen and took out two bottles of soda.

Xu Wang walked over to the couch with the sodas and tossed one to Yun Xi.

"Thanks." Yun Xi opened his soda and took a big gulp. The icy, fizzy liquid rushed down his throat, leaving him much more awake. Free soda really did taste better.

Xu Wang took a big gulp too.

Once Yun Xi had woken up, he took out his phone, tapped a few times, and started a livestream.

[Our little green-tea baby actually started a livestream.]

[Aaaah, I thought we wouldn't get to see you today. Heaven really won't keep people destined to meet apart.]

[Baby, are you still filming the show?]

[Baby, are you serious about that hairstyle? You really don't care about maintaining your celebrity image at all.]

[Is my wife there? It's already been two hours since I last saw him. I miss him, miss him, and miss him some more.]

[Hahaha, President Pei is dragging a 39-meter blade over to assassinate the commenter above.]

[Film Emperor Gu, Film Emperor Gu, Film Emperor Gu.]

[Is Ranran there?]

"Welcome to my livestream, everyone. That's right, I'm still filming the show, but we have this afternoon off, so I have time to go live and chat with you. Of course, the company also asked me to." Yun Xi looked at the steadily rising viewer count in the upper-right corner in amazement. In the past, getting over a thousand viewers had been his peak. Now, after just a few minutes of streaming, he already had over ten thousand, and the number was even heading toward a hundred thousand. That should count as top-tier in the livestreaming world, right? Rounding up, doesn't that make me a top star?

The more Yun Xi thought about it, the more he could not help laughing aloud. "Hehe. (◍•ᴗ•◍)"

[Huh? Baby, that laugh is so weird.]

[Stop laughing, stop laughing. My dad's next to me, and he thinks I'm watching some weird livestream.]

[Same, same. (Covers mouth and snickers.)]

"Ahem, don't talk nonsense, you guys. This is a perfectly respectable livestream." Yun Xi coughed as he read the comments in his stream.

"You're livestreaming?" Xu Wang walked behind Yun Xi and saw his phone screen.

Xu Wang accidentally appeared on camera.

[Wife, wife.]

[Xu Wang's here too! I knew I picked the right stream.]

[Wife, look at the gifts I sent you! Hearts for you.]

[I'm sending a big one.]

[Hehe, I'm a scrolling comment with a fancy skin. (Cool sunglasses.)]

[You up there, stay up there if you dare.]

Within just a few minutes, the gift effects on the screen looked as though they were fighting, appearing one after another with none giving way.

"Whoa, you're playing favorites a little, but I'm still really happy. Thank you, Xu’s Wife, for the three Carnival gifts. Thank you, Mochi, for the five sports cars. Thanks for the Hearts for You, babies. Thank you all for the little gifts. Thank you, generous bosses. Love you, mwah!"

Yun Xi pressed his palms together and thanked them nonstop. Oh my god, this enormous windfall actually landed on me! God of Wealth, I love you.

"Xu Wang, lots of your fans in my stream sent gifts. Want to say hello?" At that moment, Yun Xi looked at Xu Wang as though he were a wealthy benefactor.

Xu Wang did not refuse. He leaned toward the camera. "Hello, everyone. I'm Xu Wang."

Xu Wang's greeting sent the livestream into another frenzy. By now, Yun Xi's stream had passed a million likes, even attracting the platform's moderators.

"Xu Wang, want to play a game? I'll carry you."

"Carry me?" Xu Wang's expression turned a little strange at Yun Xi's words.

"Yeah. Don't underestimate me. I'm a veteran gamer. Back in college, our whole dorm relied on me alone to carry them. I was practically a god in my roommates' eyes." Yun Xi said this without blushing or missing a beat. It was not exactly a lie. After all, whenever their dorm played ranked matches together, they won every single round. They never lost.

"Sure, let's play a round. Show me what you've got." Xu Wang took out his phone and downloaded a game that was popular at the moment. While downloading it, he took a quick look and found it was pretty much the same as the one in his original world. This is in the bag. The little prince of gaming is back.

The viewers in the livestream grew excited when they saw that the two were going to play a game.

[Guys, if I start playing this game right now, do you think I have a chance of getting matched with them?]

[Is our little green-tea baby that good at games? Why haven't we heard anything about it?]

[Uh... as a longtime fan, just take Yun Xi's words with a grain of salt. Don't take them seriously or to heart, or yours will shatter into so many pieces you'll never put it back together.]

[What does that mean?]

[It means if he can carry anyone, there probably isn't a single person who can't play this game.]

[Seriously? Then what's my Xu's Wife supposed to do? (￣ェ￣;)]

[Not necessarily. Xu’s Wife has a new account, after all. Yun Xi will probably use an alt to play with him, so they shouldn't run into any experts.]

Xu Wang did not see the comments, but after two rounds, he finally had a clear understanding of Yun Xi's skills.

"Hey, hey, hey, why does this guy on the other team keep chasing me and attacking me?" Yun Xi's voice was full of grievance.

As the blade fell, the gameplay shown in the livestream went black for the umpteenth time.

Xu Wang went to rescue him, but just as he reached the body, he saw the notification that Yun Xi had been killed. Xu Wang decisively turned and left.

[My wife turned and walked away without a moment's hesitation.]

[Hahaha, Xu Wang says there's nothing to hesitate over when it comes to Yun Xi's in-game corpse.]

[What do I do? Watching this little green-tea baby play is filling me with inexplicable rage.]

[Baby, how about you spare this game?]

[No, wait. Yun Xi, open the current kill log. Were my eyes playing tricks on me just now?]

[I noticed it too.]

Looking puzzled as he read the comments, Yun Xi opened the kill log.

"What is it?"

[Oh my god, Xu’s Wife already has ten kills?]

[Wait, is this right? He's a new player! Even beginner protection shouldn't work like this.]

[Then what does that make me?]

[Then what does that make me? +2]

[A total sucker? Haha.]

[This definitely isn't a matter of luck. (World-weary.)]

Yun Xi sprang up and rushed straight over to Xu Wang in disbelief.

On Xu Wang's phone screen, a little gun-wielding figure aimed at an enemy's head and instantly fired.

After firing the bullet, Xu Wang did not even wait for the result before turning and leaving.

He had his sights on another new target.

The previous target fell squarely to the ground, and a kill notification appeared on the screen.

"Holy crap, you're this cool on your first try?" Yun Xi could not even spare any attention for his own respawn now. He could not accept it. Why was the gap between people so huge?

"Isn't this really easy? Don't tell me you can't do it, expert?" A smile curved Xu Wang's lips as he looked at Yun Xi beside him.

Perhaps it was the game making him look better, but Yun Xi suddenly realized that Xu Wang really was kind of handsome.

Yun Xi stared straight at Xu Wang, his face slightly flushed.

[That move was so cool!]

[How can he look so effortlessly cool even while playing a game?]

[Baby, stop blushing. I'm scared President Pei will assassinate you.]

[Congratulations on taking the throne, God Xu!!!]

[Wife, are you planning to stream games after you finish filming the show? I'll definitely be a die-hard fan.]

[Speaking of which, did you guys hear some strange sound?]

[I heard it. It sounded like it came from the second floor.]

[Streamer, go upstairs and take a look.]

"..." A sound resembling laughter came from upstairs.

Both Xu Wang and Yun Xi heard it.

The two put down their phones and exchanged puzzled looks.
