Chapter 36: Casual Tenderness
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Next to him, Shi Sui raised his eyebrows as his crayfish peeling movements slowed down.
After adjusting the equipment in the afternoon, the stream had been divided into several broadcast rooms.
The main livestream room was equivalent to a usual variety show, where the camera constantly switched focus between everyone present.
But each guest also has their own personal stream, where a cameraman would follow them and shoot their entire process.
At the moment, Shi Sui’s broadcast room had the largest number of viewers, followed by the program’s main stream, followed by Yan Nai and Yan Zhenhua, and last was Xiang Yi.
The comments in Shi Sui’s broadcast room were getting lively.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt—[His eyebrow raise is so handsome! It reminds me of gege’s role as the paranoid pervert in “Rainy Night”!]
—[Heh, why does Shisui look displeased? Like a kindergartener who had his toys stolen...]
—[I’m so angry. This Xiang Yi must be poisonous. She even peeled crayfish for her manager but not our Shisui?]
—[I’m already angry at the Vase Fairy for seducing our Shi Yingdi, but I’m even more angry seeing the Vase Fairy ignore our Shi Yingdi QAQ]
Xiang Yi’s dedicated cameraman was Old Zhang. His style was very similar to Li Jianyu, and he loved to film beautiful scenery. Hence, he stood a little further away to find a suitable perspective of Xiang Yi.
However, Xiang Yi was not very aware of the camera and had assumed that the main camera was still on Shi Sui and the others, so she began to chat with Ah Nan.
“Is it good?”
“Mhmm!” Ah Nan’s head bobbed up and down as he fiercely shoved crayfish into his mouth. The food made him less vigilant as he failed to notice Old Zhang in the distance. “I thought you were going to give it to Shi Sui.”
Xiang Yi didn’t understand. “Why would I peel it for him? Didn’t you tell me to avoid suspicion?”
If the cameras hadn’t been present, Xiang Yi would have definitely peeled some for Shi Sui.
Shi Sui’s figure was naturally tall and lanky, but to Xiang Yi, he looked way too thin in real life. It was like he would topple over from a light breeze.
It was like a grandma looking at her grandson, wishing to shove all the delicious food in the house into his mouth.
But Ah Nan had stated she had too many anti fans. To avoid trouble, she was advised to keep her distance from Shi Sui.
To summarize in one sentence: Minimize interactions, minimize conversation; even better, don’t even look at each other.
This way, the anti fans cannot take advantage of anything.
Ah Nan vaguely mentioned, “Why didn’t you give some to Yan Nai? The little brother has been looking at you with puppy eyes for a long time now.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“If he wants to eat, he can peel it for himself. And it seems to me like he doesn’t like crayfish.” There was another thought that Xiang Yi didn’t directly mention. Yan Nai’s dislike might not be toward the food but toward her, rather.
“Eh? Then why did you peel some for Director Yan?”
“I was looking through the info yesterday and Director Yan’s hands suffers from an old illness.” To her, it was just the act of simply peeling crawfish and was not a hindrance at all. Besides, Director Yan was a senior, and Xiang Yi’s family teachings were excellent. Juniors should always have deep respect in their bones for their elders.
Their conversation was faint, but it reached the stream.
—Time—
—[Huh? Our Yi Mei was only peeling crayfish for Director Yan because he had surgery done previously on his hands?]
—[...This must be scripted. I don’t believe that the Vase Fairy would be this kind, but whatever, she can keep up her act as long as her face is pretty to look at]
—[But wait, does the pretty lady just want to look good on her own? She even said she wants to avoid suspicion with Shi Yingdi?]
—[To be honest, I think little sister* has a good personality. After peeling the crayfish, she didn’t try to claim credit in front of the director or anything, but just handed it over with a casual and tender demeanor. It makes people very comfortable~]
Most people in Xiang Yi’s broadcast room were there because of her face. They didn’t harbor any anti-fan sentiment towards her to begin with, and, at this time, they could feel their affection for her increasing.
Translator’s Note:
* Little sister or xiao jiejie is a term netizens use to call girls, mostly pretty girls, and generally out of a position of respect. (Sister, in this case, uses the term for older sister “jie jie” rather than younger sister, “mei mei”)
