Because I'm Ultra~man~

After Ren Anwen finished speaking, silence fell again. Everyone stared at one another without a word, and the atmosphere grew somewhat awkward and tense. Eventually, their gazes all landed on Fu Yanci, who silently watched Chi An fiddling with his phone, head lowered, seemingly unaware that everyone else was looking at him.

With her hand under the table, Chi Shuran secretly nudged Song Wenjing's arm. She tipped her chin toward Fu Yanci and made faces at Song Wenjing, whispering, "Can you get your brother to stop staring at mine?"

"Interact! Do you understand?! Do you know what interaction means?!"

"I'm not the one staring! What the hell is telling me going to do? Go tell him yourself!"

He whispered back just as fiercely, then stole a glance up at Fu Yanci's expression. Once he confirmed that Fu Yanci hadn't noticed the commotion on their side, he leaned toward Chi Shuran. "Do you know what happened when your brother was in college?"

"No. What are you up to?" Chi Shuran warily looked Song Wenjing up and down, then shifted toward Ren Anwen. "Don't even think about scheming against my brother, or you'll end up miserable."

She had never outplayed Chi An in her entire life. If Song Wenjing dared to scheme against him, Chi An might well toy with him to death.

"Aren't you curious about what happened between him and my brother?" A sly gleam flickered in Song Wenjing's eyes, and the corners of his mouth lifted.

"I'm not old enough to die yet. Don't try to trick me."

[High EQ: I'm not old enough to die yet.

Low EQ: I haven't lived so long that I'm eager to get myself killed.]

[Did Chi Shuran just indirectly prove that she's still scared of Chi An?]

[An eldest brother is like a father. When your brother loses his temper, even your dad can't stop him. Older siblings are even stricter with their younger siblings than parents are. The key thing is, you can't play little tricks in front of them, because they've already done all of that before. (Smile)(Smile)]

[I really want to know what happened between Chi An and Fu Yanci too. Chi Shuran and Chi An seem pretty close. You really wouldn't have guessed that Chi Shuran knew absolutely nothing about his college days.]

[Maybe because they were in different countries. With the time difference, they might not have kept in touch often.]

[That Song Wenjing really refuses to lose out on anything. Even when he's digging for gossip, he has to trick someone else into doing it.]

[Women in ancient times knew how to get things done; modern women know how to be contrary. Chi Shuran embodies that saying perfectly.]

Perhaps because Fu Yanci hadn't reacted for so long, they turned their gazes toward Chi An instead, the man who had attracted Fu Yanci.

Sensing the burning gazes around him, Chi An's hand stiffened slightly around his phone. Then he slowly lowered it and gently placed it facedown on the table.

He raised his head, his clear eyes sweeping over everyone's faces, a faint smile on his lips. "What? Think I'm so handsome that you want a few extra looks to cleanse your eyes?"

"You don't get to look at this face for free. How are you planning to pay?"

Everyone exchanged glances, at a loss for how to respond, and could only lower their heads guiltily. Ren Wuyang, sitting beside Chi An, wanted to bury his head straight in the ground.

So embarrassing. So embarrassing!

He had only meant to follow the crowd and stare at Chi An along with everyone else. Who knew he would suddenly get so engrossed and start studying Chi An's features? He was genuinely curious about what Chi An's parents looked like to have produced such beautiful children as Chi An and Chi Shuran.

"How about we stop sitting around like this? We don't know what to do anyway, so why don't we ask the production team for a computer?"

"Aren't we livestreaming? Interacting with the fans in the comments counts as interaction too, right?" Song Wenjing's voice broke the silence and brought everyone's attention back into focus.

Everyone nodded in agreement at Song Wenjing's suggestion. Lin Yuxuan was even more direct: he got up, ran over to the crew to ask for a large computer, and carried it back to the table. The eight of them adjusted their positions to ensure everyone could see the screen, leaving the two girls right in the middle. The reason was... they were the shortest.

[Quick, quick, quick! They're going to read the comments! If you don't stir things up now, what are you waiting for?]

[Heh. (Holds forehead and sneers) These men should count themselves lucky to encounter Her Majesty. I'm about to act up.]

[I've finally got somewhere to say everything I've been holding in. Get ready, you people who don't know how vicious society can be!]

[Keyboard ready. Preparing to fire.]

[Activate! Activate! Activate! Keyboard in position! Mouse too! Fire!]

Almost the very second the livestream window popped up, everyone's expectant expressions froze.

The screen lagged for a second, then huge strings of numbers swept across it, moving so fast that they couldn't make out the content at all.

Ren Anwen looked toward Lin Yuxuan beside her for help and stood up to give him her seat. Behind her, Chi An looked up and pressed her straight back down. "Stay seated. Just give it a moment."

"They know we're here to read the comments, so they're all spamming."

"How long is this going to go on? They're scrolling so fast we can't read anything."

Practically pressing his eyes against the screen, he took the mouse and clicked pause. A few conspicuous comments appeared right in front of everyone, leaving them all silent.

[Why are you ignoring me? I've sent so many messages, and you haven't answered a single one. What's that supposed to mean? It's fine if you don't reply. I just love offering you my warm affection while you give me the cold shoulder.]

[Fu Yanci, why aren't you talking? Hm? Think you're all that just because you're rich? Transfer me ten thousand and show me what you've got.]

[Where's Chi An? Do you like athletes, hm? I have PE twice a week. Answer me. Do you like them?]

[Fu Yanci, I'm going to fight you for Chi An. Any objections? Man, I order you to speak! Watch out, or I'll shoot you dead with a gaze that's thirty percent cold disdain, thirty percent mockery, and forty percent nonchalance! My gaze is Ultraman's X-ray beam! Even firing a nuclear missile at me won't work! Because I'm Ultra~man~]

[Chi Shuran, your brother doesn't want you. Come with me. With you in my hands, there's no way Chi An won't come rescue you. Without you, how would he get to show off his high IQ?]

Five comments. Three involved Chi An, two mentioned Fu Yanci by name, and one called out all of them. In short, not a single one had anything nice to say.

"Heh."

A cold laugh broke the surrounding silence. Fu Yanci stared at the two comments in the middle and firmly wrapped an arm around Chi An's waist. Raising his eyebrows, he said in a somewhat nasty tone, "Even I'm not good enough for him. What do you have that can compare to me?"

"I have money, looks, status, and standing. And you? A bunch of rattled commenters. Exit this screen and check which company owns this streaming app."

Chi Shuran: ???

With an answer like that, who was actually rattled here?
