Ch 107 : Streamer Starry, I beg you to tell me!

【But what’s going on? Why is Streamer Starry’s background such a mess? What happened?】

Ruan Xingyao didn’t notice the barrage of questions.

She smiled brightly and greeted her family in the livestream room.

“Hello! Good evening, family! A surprise late-night stream out of nowhere—shocking surprise, isn’t it?”

【Surprise! Totally unexpected! I hope Streamer Starry can always bring us surprises like this every moment!】

【Streamer Starry, is it three lucky draws again today? I’m already rubbing my hands, ready to go!】

Ruan Xingyao saw this comment, smiled, and said:

“No live link-ups today. We’re here to deal with something happening right on the spot.”

As she spoke, she looked at the woman and asked:

“Do you mind if I turn the camera toward you?”

The woman shrank back slightly, but as if remembering something, she firmly nodded.

Only then did Ruan Xingyao turn the camera to her and say:

“Don’t be nervous. You can just state your request directly.”

The woman tightened her hold on the child in her arms, lowered her gaze, and didn’t dare look at the camera.

She took a deep breath, trying hard to keep her voice steady.

“My name is Liu Jiao, and this is my daughter, Xiao Yue.

A week ago, her ear suddenly went deaf.

My mother-in-law told me that when Xiao Yue was imitating adults using an ear pick, one of my dogs jumped on her, causing the ear pick to stab into her ear.

But I don’t believe it. My dog has always been very obedient and has never randomly pounced on people. How could it possibly pounce on my daughter?”

The more Liu Jiao spoke, the more emotional she became, her body trembling violently.

The child in her arms, who had been asleep, was woken up.

The little girl looked drowsily at Liu Jiao, mumbling, “Mom…”

Liu Jiao’s voice stopped abruptly.

She slowly lowered her head, rubbing her cheek against Xiao Yue’s face, offering silent comfort.

This scene was broadcast live to everyone through Ruan Xingyao’s stream.

The comments filled with sympathy.

【Oh my god! I’m honestly tearing up! If what this woman is saying is true, then this little girl is way too pitiful!】

【Pitiful? Didn’t she make herself deaf by playing with the ear pick? What’s there to pity?】

【Shut up, upstairs! Didn’t you hear her say she suspects that’s not what really happened? Just because you have hands to type doesn’t mean you should!】

Ruan Xingyao glanced at the comments, giving Liu Jiao some time to collect herself.

Half a minute later, she finally said:

“Liu Jiao, you need to understand, this is a livestream for reading pets’ minds. If you want me to help you, but you didn’t bring your pet, I can’t do anything.”

After all, she didn’t have the ability to read human thoughts.

Holding Xiao Yue, Liu Jiao raised her tear-streaked face to look at Ruan Xingyao.

She shook her head and said, “My younger sister… my younger sister went to get my dog… She’ll be here very soon…”

As she spoke, Liu Jiao looked out toward the road, trying to spot her sister.

But after searching for quite a while, she still didn’t see any sign of her.

Just as disappointment began to fill Liu Jiao’s eyes, suddenly they lit up.

Her sister had appeared.

But as her sister drew closer, Liu Jiao’s expression shifted—from shock, to heartbreak, and finally to utter emptiness.

Because she saw that the dog her sister was carrying seemed to have completely lost all signs of life.

And as her sister ran nearer, Liu Jiao could also clearly see the tears on her sister’s face.

Ruan Xingyao had already turned her phone camera toward Liu Jiao’s sister at this point.

She looked at the little dog in the sister’s arms and quietly used her spiritual power to check.

The poor creature’s internal organs were already ruptured—there was no possibility of saving it.

Now, she only had two options: either ease its passing so it wouldn’t suffer as much, or forcefully let it hold on a little longer so that the truth Liu Jiao wanted could be revealed.

But if she chose the second option, the little dog would endure much more pain.

Even with her spiritual power to lessen the agony, she couldn’t erase it completely.

Ruan Xingyao fell into hesitation.

Her ability to read small animals’ memories was something she didn’t want to expose publicly just yet.

While she was still struggling with the decision, Liu Jiao’s sister finally reached her, carrying the dog in her arms.

She had run to the point of exhaustion, and with a thud, collapsed onto the ground, crying as she said to Liu Jiao:

“Sis, I’m sorry. On the way back, I ran into a car accident and got stuck in traffic. I was late getting home… By the time I arrived, I don’t know when they came in, but they had already kicked it until it wasn’t breathing anymore.”

Liu Jiao fell helplessly to the ground.

She reached out, wanting to touch her dog, but didn’t dare lay a hand on it.

At that moment, blood kept flowing from the dog’s mouth and nose.

Its stomach was swollen far bigger than before, and its breathing came only after long intervals.

Clearly, it was already…

Liu Jiao bent over in anguish, her tears pouring down in streams.

Her mouth opened wide, but not a sound came out.

Ruan Xingyao truly couldn’t bear it anymore.

She took a deep breath and finally made her choice.

She severed her spiritual power, allowing the little dog to leave this world more peacefully.

A few seconds later, the little body went completely limp, life gone.

Liu Jiao’s sister was the first to sense that the dog had passed.

Her lips parted, wanting to call out to Liu Jiao.

However, when she saw Liu Jiao’s state, she didn’t know how to open her mouth.

It was Ruan Xingyao who crouched down and said to Liu Jiao:

“Liu Jiao, calm down first. Let’s figure out the truth, okay?”

Liu Jiao stayed unresponsive for dozens of seconds before she slowly lifted her head to look at Ruan Xingyao.

She raised her hand and wiped her face messily.

Tears mixed with sweat made her already disheveled face look even worse.

After taking a moment to steady her emotions, Liu Jiao finally asked:

“Streamer Starry, my dog is already gone… Can the truth still be restored?”

Ruan Xingyao said:

“I already figured it out just now. Let me tell you what really happened, okay?”

Liu Jiao stared at Ruan Xingyao in shock.

Though doubtful, her heart was still full of hope, wishing that Ruan Xingyao could truly tell her the truth.

Ruan Xingyao rubbed her nose and said:

“It hadn’t completely stopped breathing just now. I heard its heart-voice.”

This was also an explanation for everyone in the livestream.

After all, she hadn’t asked anything yet, but already had the truth—naturally people might doubt her.

Now, she could only make everyone believe that, at the end of its life, the little dog had been fixated on letting its owner know what really happened, repeating it in its heart over and over.

The moment Liu Jiao heard Ruan Xingyao’s words, she immediately grabbed her hand, looking at her pleadingly:

“Streamer Starry, I beg you—please tell me!”
