【I’m convinced! Streamer Starry is totally just teasing us!】
【Who else but Streamer Starry would plan such a little show just to entertain us? She spoils us too much!】
【I’m certain now — Streamer Starry really dotes on her “younger brother.” Even though he’s always the last one to get a bite, his fish is always the biggest!】
【Not saying who’s jealous, but… it’s me.】
【Waaah, Streamer Starry, do you need another little brother? I can pack up mine and send him to you! My only request is — can you take in his poor, lazy, but food-loving big sister too?】
【You’re thinking too small, upstairs! If I can’t be her little brother, I can be her little sister! Streamer Starry, I’d be honored to have you as my one and only big sis!】
【No, no — being the sibling isn’t enough. I can be Streamer Starry’s one and only wife!】
【No! Streamer Starry is my wife!】
【That’s enough out of you all! Seriously, enough! Don’t you people have wives of your own? Why are you fighting over mine?!】
The barrage of comments in the live chat was getting more and more ridiculous, and Ruan Xingyao couldn’t help but laugh.
She chuckled and said to everyone, “Come on, come on! Let’s keep going!”
However, before casting the next line, Ruan Xingyao asked Yi Yang to have the boatman move to another spot.
Yi Yang didn’t understand why but followed her request anyway.
Once the boat had moved to the location Ruan Xingyao specified, she cast her line into the water.
Chen Yu, You Huan, and Ruan Xingzhuo followed her lead, casting their own lines one after another.
This time, though, the wait was much longer.
So long, in fact, that the trolls in the live chat started to crawl out again.
【Ohhh~ what happened to “never empty-handed”? Where are the fish now, huh?】
【Talk big and get slapped in the face — guess she really thought she was someone special!】
【Love to see it! Pure joy! Finally watching this woman crash and burn!】
【Admit you’re a fraud! If you can still catch a fish, I’ll twist my head off and use it as a ball!】
【I’ll do a handstand live and eat my keyboard!】
【I’ll give away ten seaside villas!】
Ruan Xingyao’s gaze swept across the screen, quickly catching all those taunting, provocative comments.
She hadn’t planned to pay them any mind, but every time she streamed, these little haters would jump out to cause trouble — and it really did affect her mood.
So, Ruan Xingyao’s eyes flashed, and she directly read out the usernames of those few people.
“‘Why hasn’t Streamer Starry failed yet,’ ‘Five bucks a fish, so what,’ and ‘Eat plum candy’ — I know you three by now. Remember the promises you made today! If I can reel in a fish within two minutes, you’d better keep your word!”
As she spoke, Ruan Xingyao raised an eyebrow at the camera, openly challenging the three of them.
“But you, ‘Why hasn’t Streamer Starry failed yet,’ need to change your promise — twisting your own head off and kicking it like a ball is way too gruesome, and your head’s useless to me anyway,” Ruan Xingyao said disdainfully.
“And you, ‘Five bucks a fish, so what,’ when you eat that keyboard live, remember to connect with me — I’ll put you on the trending page! Guarantee you’ll go viral overnight!”
“As for you, ‘Eat plum candy,’ don’t talk big. If that ten seaside villas giveaway turns out to be fake, I won’t go easy on you!”
She called out each of the three by name, and at the end, she even added, “I’m warning you three — don’t you dare try to go back on your word. I’ll come find you myself!”
As she said this, Ruan Xingyao waved her small fist — a blatant threat.
The three of them were still trying to act tough in the chat, but sharp-eyed viewers had already noticed that Ruan Xingyao’s fishing rod had started to move.
【Holy crap! Bro, you’d better apologize and kneel right now! Don’t you see Streamer Starry’s rod moving?!】
【Why did you guys have to mess with her!】
【Exactly! Why mess with Streamer Starry at all? Don’t you know she never fakes it here?】
【You guys are being too nice! If they want to dig their own graves, let them! I, for one, want to see someone twist their head off and eat a keyboard on stream!】
【Be real — you just want a shot at those ten seaside villas!】
【To be honest, same! Think there’s room for me in one of those villas?】
【Hey ‘Eat plum candy,’ if you really have that kind of money, why be a hater at all?!】
【I’ll just sit here quietly and watch all these idiots dreaming — they actually believe he can give away ten seaside villas!】
The chat was soon in chaos over the “ten seaside villas.”
And right then, “Eat plum candy” requested to connect live with Ruan Xingyao.
Ruan Xingyao hadn’t planned on doing any live call-ins today, so she had no intention of accepting the request.
Unfortunately, “Eat plum candy” seemed to know her style well — he immediately sent ten “Dream Spaceship” gifts in the stream and arrogantly typed two words in the chat:
“Connect now!”
Ruan Xingyao clicked her tongue.
Seeing as he’d just spent money in her stream, she decided to humor him and accept the connection.
In a moment, the livestream screen split in half, and “Eat plum candy”’s face appeared on-screen.
He was a trendy young man, probably in his twenties, exuding an air of arrogance and rebellion.
As soon as the call connected, he pulled out a stack of property certificates, waving them proudly at the camera.
“What’s the matter? Who do you think you’re underestimating? I really am that rich!” he said smugly.
They were indeed ten property deeds — though it wasn’t clear if they were actually for seaside villas as he’d claimed, still, if he really planned to give them away, who would dare complain?
【Wait, bro, you’re actually serious?! This is the first time I feel sorry for Streamer Starry — I really hope she blanks this time!】
【Okay, okay, I admit I was too loud earlier! Bro, you didn’t say you actually had that kind of money!】
【What do we do, what do we do?! I feel like a traitor for saying this, but these are real houses! Sorry, Streamer Starry— I really want one!】
【Come on, you guys seriously believe he’s gonna raffle off houses? I don’t buy it — unless he draws my name first as proof!】
【Get that guy outta here! Your abacus beads just flew in my face!】
【But seriously, is anyone paying attention to the fish that already bit the hook? What if this guy’s just trying to stall? He knows Streamer Starry’s about to reel it in — if she hesitates, the fish might escape!】
【Whoa, good catch! That’s seriously sneaky — he could embarrass Streamer Starry and avoid giving away the houses. That’s too much!】
The chat instantly filled with curses and outrage.
But Ruan Xingyao just smiled calmly and said,
“Don’t worry — the fish won’t get away.”
