Xixi lowered her head, and large teardrops fell onto the plate in front of her.
This scene only made some viewers even more indignant, launching a new wave of attacks and curses toward Ruan Xingyao.
【What the hell! Is she crazy? She made the girl cry right on stream! Where’s the justice in this?!】
【Isn’t this workplace bullying?!】
【Can someone please ban this streamer already?! How many people has she messed with? Let’s keep the internet clean for once!】
Ruan Xingyao’s fans immediately fired back.
【Who’s really crazy here, huh? Jumping around like clowns — scared your precious idol won’t notice you?】
【Some people really never learn. The louder you bark, the harder you’ll get slapped later!】
【Exactly! How many times have they been proven wrong already? Still no lesson learned!】
【Heh! I’ll just sit here and wait to see these annoying people get slapped in the face again!】
The chat was in total chaos.
Ruan Xingyao ignored the noise and simply looked at Xixi with a complicated expression.
She gave the girl enough time to calm down.
But instead, Xixi suddenly began shoving food into her mouth in big, frantic bites.
It was as if she were a machine that never stopped, programmed with a single command — to keep eating, endlessly.
Her sudden behavior frightened many viewers.
【What’s happening? What’s wrong with her all of a sudden?!】
【This is the “cute eating streamer” everyone was talking about? This is terrifying!】
【Seriously, what’s going on? She can’t have turned like this just because of one sentence from Starry streamer, right?!】
Ruan Xingyao’s expression grew even heavier.
She said softly, “Xixi, stop eating. I can help you.”
Xixi paused for a second, but after a few moments, she continued stuffing food into her mouth as if she hadn’t heard anything.
Ruan Xingyao said again, “Xixi, your body belongs to you. You have the right to decide what happens to it. No one else has the right to hurt you — you can fight back.”
The hand holding Xixi’s chopsticks trembled.
Tears streamed down her cheeks again, falling heavily.
Finally, her emotional wall collapsed completely.
The chopsticks slipped from her hand, clattering against the table with a crisp sound.
That sound seemed to unlock something inside her.
She lowered her head and said, trembling, “It’s impossible… They won’t let me stop. It’s impossible.”
Ruan Xingyao said gently, “As long as you want to, you can. I can help you.”
In fact, Ruan Xingyao had already asked Chen Yu to contact the local police near Xixi’s location — ready to send help the moment she needed it.
But Xixi shook her head and said, “You can help me once… but can you help me forever? Even if you save me this time, what about later? It’ll just be the same all over again!”
She had already resigned herself to her fate.
Ruan Xingyao felt a deep helplessness.
She truly wanted to help Xixi, but if the girl continued to resist and give up on herself like this, then even with all her will, Ruan Xingyao could do nothing.
【Can someone please just explain what’s going on already? Stop keeping us in suspense!】
Ruan Xingyao turned to Xixi and asked, “Xixi, do you mind if I tell everyone about your situation?”
Xixi stayed silent for a long time before finally saying, “Go ahead.”
If it could really help her, she would be grateful.
Ruan Xingyao said softly, “I heard the birds outside your window. You’re sick, aren’t you? Your body has an external device installed. The food you eat doesn’t stay in your body—it flows directly into an external bag. Is that right?”
Xixi looked up in shock, her eyes unfocused as she stared at Ruan Xingyao.
She wasn’t new to streaming; she knew there was a famous streamer online who could understand animals and had helped countless people and creatures.
She never imagined that one day she’d be connected live with that miraculous streamer—and that she would really hear the animals around her being understood.
She turned her head toward the window and saw that there were indeed a few little birds perched outside.
Then she turned back and asked suspiciously, “You really heard that from the birds?”
Ruan Xingyao nodded gently. “Yes. They told me.”
Xixi still couldn’t believe it. “Then tell me—what else did they say?”
Ruan Xingyao said, “They said you’re locked in that room. You’re not allowed to do anything except stream yourself eating. They treat you as a tool to make money.”
Xixi lowered her lashes and choked out, “You’re amazing… Everything you said is true.”
Ruan Xingyao said, “They’re abusing you. You can fight back.”
Xixi shook her head and took a deep breath. “I agreed to it myself.”
Ruan Xingyao froze.
The words she wanted to say stuck in her throat.
She couldn’t bring herself to argue or persuade anymore—she just looked at the girl with even greater sorrow in her eyes.
After steadying her emotions, Xixi looked up at the camera.
She said, “Do you mind if I take a bit of time to explain everything to everyone?”
Ruan Xingyao said, “Not at all. Go ahead.”
Xixi said, “I’m sick. I probably have about a month left to live. There’s a tube and a device connected to my body—it was originally used to feed nutrient fluid into me. But last month, my parents and brother realized that I could stream using this setup. The food I eat passes straight through the device and gets drained out of my body. That way, I can keep eating and eating. So they had me discharged from the hospital… and started this ‘big eater’ livestream.”
As she spoke, Xixi stood up and lifted her clothes, showing the viewers in the livestream the medical device attached to her body.
She bowed deeply toward the camera, staying that way for more than ten seconds before straightening up and saying, “I’m sorry, everyone. My livestreams were a lie. I’m not a real big eater. In fact, I can’t even eat normal food at all. I’ve been deceiving you all.”
【Oh my god! Is this real or fake? To end up like this just for livestreaming—that’s horrifying!】
【You’ve got it backward! She was sick first, and only then they discovered this streaming niche. But still—deceiving all the viewers like this is going way too far!】
