After dinner, Ruan Xingyao got ready to start her livestream.
You Huan had originally planned to leave once the meal was over, but since Ruan Xingyao was about to stream, she hesitated for a moment and decided to stay.
Seeing this, Ruan Xingzhou wanted to head back to his room, but Ruan Xingyao insisted that he stay and eat some fruit with them.
With no choice, Ruan Xingzhou had to remain in the living room.
Ruan Xingyao set up her phone, fixed her appearance a little, and started the stream.
“Hello, welcome to Starry’s livestream! Today we still have three link-ups, and I’m releasing the first lucky draw now.”
【Wow! Starry’s stream today came out of nowhere! I’m so happy I caught it!】
【Did Starry change her background? It looks so much brighter now! Our Starry is really doing better!】
【You guys are all caring about whether she changed places, but I only care about whether I can win today!】
【Pick me pick me pick me pick me!】
Ruan Xingyao quickly released the lucky draw, and before long, someone won.
This viewer’s screen name was “Starry’s Dog.”
He was a greasy-looking man with slicked-back hair, and his peach blossom eyes carried an almost syrupy affection, even through the screen.
“Hello, “Starry’s Dog”, is there something I can help you with?” Ruan Xingyao asked.
Starry’s Dog: “Not really, I just wanted to come and chat with the streamer.”
For the first time, Ruan Xingyao was left speechless during a stream.
She blinked, then said helplessly, “Starry’s room is a livestream for reading animals’ thoughts, you know. If you don’t have a little animal, then Starry doesn’t do casual chatting.”
The comment section instantly exploded in anger at “Starry’s Dog”.
【What’s wrong with you! Why come here to mess around without an animal?】
【Exactly! Hogging someone else’s spot, you’ve got some nerve!】
【Get lost already! No one wants to see you acting crazy here!】
Even as the comments grew nastier, “Starry’s Dog” remained completely unfazed.
He just kept staring straight at Ruan Xingyao.
“Starry’s Dog” said, “Streamer, I really like you. Can you add me on WeChat? Once you add me, I’ll log off.”
Ruan Xingyao was left even more speechless.
Streaming really does bring out all kinds of weirdos.
The live chat grew even nastier because of “Starry’s Dog.”
【Damn! Is this lunatic from my neighborhood? Coming into Starry’s stream acting crazy! Disgusting!】
【It’s guys like this—slimy and gross—that make the air itself feel disgusting! He even dares to harass the streamer, shame on him!】
【Starry, hurry up and kick this creep out, don’t waste any more time!】
【Yeah exactly! But Starry, can you draw another lucky bag? This one doesn’t count!】
Ruan Xingyao was indeed planning to do that.
After all, being interrupted like this had already affected her mood.
However, just as she was about to kick “Starry’s Dog” out, she heard the sound of birds chirping from his side.
Ruan Xingyao let out a helpless sigh.
She really didn’t want to waste time on him, but her conscience wouldn’t let her ignore something she knew was happening.
If something bad really happened and she had done nothing, she would definitely blame herself.
【What’s going on? Why hasn’t Starry kicked him out yet?】
【Something’s off! Starry’s expression looks different.】
【Could something have happened? Forget it, I’ll keep watching!】
Just as more and more viewers began questioning what was going on, Ruan Xingyao finally spoke:
“Starry’s Dog, there’s a fire in the apartment across from yours. No one’s home right now. You’d better call the fire department, otherwise the flames will spread to your place soon.”
“Starry’s Dog” froze, staring blankly at the camera, seemingly not believing her words.
Ruan Xingyao said, “If you don’t believe me, go check yourself—you should already be able to smell the smoke.”
He asked, “Starry, how do you know that?”
Ruan Xingyao replied, “Just now, some birds flew past your window. They told me.”
Although “Starry’s Dog” still doubted her, his body acted on its own as he got up and walked outside.
The moment the door opened, thick smoke was already visible on camera.
It was clear the fire across the hall was serious.
Even though he still didn’t want to disconnect, he had no choice but to deal with the emergency first.
However, instead of ending the call, he went back inside, grabbed another phone, and dialed the fire department.
Many viewers in the chat forgave his earlier behavior because of the sudden turn of events.
【Our Starry is incredible! She saved someone again!】
【Confession time—Starry, I adore you! Sending a Dream Castle gift to show my love!】
【Me too! Sending a Dream Castle! Starry deserves it!】
【I don’t have that much money, but I’ll send a Dream Bouquet! At least Starry can have some milk tea!】
At that moment, “Starry’s Dog” seemed to suddenly think of something, and he abruptly lifted his foot and rushed toward the apartment across from his.
No one knew where he got a hammer from, but he started smashing at the door opposite.
This action immediately drew everyone’s attention back to him.
【Wait, what the hell! Is he really insane? Why is he smashing someone else’s door?!】
【Lunatic! Can someone just call the police already and get him arrested!】
【Harassing a female streamer online, and now smashing people’s doors in real life—he’s seriously deranged!】
However, while the barrage was still full of curses directed at “Starry’s Dog”, he had already broken the door open and charged inside.
The fire inside was already so fierce that thick smoke had filled the rooms, and visibility was extremely low.
Just then, the livestream chat was stunned into silence as the sound of a baby crying suddenly rang out.
【What’s going on? Did I mishear that? Why do I hear a baby crying?】
【Weren’t we told no one was inside? How can there be a cry?】
【Oh my god! I’m seriously getting chills right now!】
【Hold on—don’t you guys realize he’s just charging in there like that? What if he can’t make it back out?!】
【Stop jinxing it! He must come out safe and sound!】
【I’m too anxious right now! What the hell is happening?!】
Following the sound of the baby’s cries, “Starry’s Dog” finally reached a room.
The fire here was even fiercer than outside, clearly the point where the blaze had started.
Covering his nose, he finally located the source of the sound—inside the wardrobe.
He rushed over and tried to pull it open, but because of the sustained heat, the wardrobe handle was scorching hot.
The moment he touched it, he was burned and instinctively pulled his hand back.
But Starry’s Dog didn’t give up.
He tried again, enduring the pain of being burned, forcing the wardrobe open.
Unfortunately, the high temperature had already warped the wood, and he couldn’t get it open in one go.
After trying again and again, his hands peeling from burns, he finally managed to wrench the wardrobe door open.
