Ruan Xingyao observed “Wishing you peace and safety”’s expression.
From the determined look in her eyes as she faced the camera, it was clear she had regained her strength.
So, Ruan Xingyao no longer hesitated.
She said, “Xueqiu knew all of this. It knew that bowl of dog food contained poison that would kill it, but it still ate it without hesitation—because it wanted to use its own death to warn you to leave your husband and mother-in-law.”
“Xueqiu used its life to protect you.”
With that, Ruan Xingyao had relayed everything Xueqiu had said.
“Wishing you peace and safety” lowered her head, looking at Xueqiu for a long moment before leaning down to kiss it. “Xueqiu, don’t worry, Mom will avenge you!”
She then gently touched her own belly. “I’ll also protect myself and the baby.”
When she finished, “Wishing you peace and safety” looked back at the camera, bowed deeply to Ruan Xingyao, and said, “Thank you, streamer. I won’t take up any more of your time.”
She cut the connection immediately.
Ruan Xingyao puffed out her cheeks slightly, feeling a bit helpless.
She had wanted to tell “Wishing you peace and safety” that if she needed help, she could come to her.
After all, she was with the police now, and ensuring “Wishing you peace and safety”’s safety wouldn’t be difficult.
Still, seeing her so decisive and resolute made Ruan Xingyao feel reassured.
With that kind of determination, she would surely handle the matter well and not let herself come to harm.
【How could this happen! How can someone be so cruel! Just because it’s a girl, she doesn’t deserve to be born?】
【Wuwuwu! Xueqiu was too good! Willing to give up its life to save its mom! Xueqiu was such a good baby!】
【Streamer, can you follow up on what happens next? I really want to know if that scumbag and evil mother-in-law get what they deserve!】
【Xueqiu! In your next life, you must find your mom again!】
【Hah! It’s just a story, only you idiots believe it! Bet you the moment the camera turned off, that dead dog woke right up!】
【The call ended so fast—maybe the dog couldn’t keep up the act anymore!】
【Can the haters upstairs just get lost?】
Ruan Xingyao stroked the little black snake coiled around her hand and moved on to her second livestream connection.
“Alright, let’s calm down and move on to the next call!”
Ruan Xingyao sent out the second lucky draw gift.
Very soon, someone won it.
It was a girl with the username “Lucky Little Radish,” with a round face that looked utterly adorable.
Lucky Little Radish: “Streamer, streamer! Is it me you connected with? That’s great! I’m so lucky!”
Ruan Xingyao: “Hello, “Lucky Little Radish”. Is there anything I can help you with?”
“Lucky Little Radish” held her big orange cat up to the camera and said, “Streamer, I don’t have anything strange or dangerous going on. I just want you to help me talk to my Fat Orange—it’s gotten way too fat, and it can’t keep eating like this. If it goes on, it won’t live long.”
Such a simple request—of course Ruan Xingyao was willing to help.
She looked at the Fat Orange and said gently, “Fat Orange, can you tell me what you like to eat?”
The Fat Orange meowed twice, yawned, and glanced at the camera with utter disdain.
【Human! Don’t stick your nose into my business! I won’t live that many years anyway—if I don’t eat to my heart’s content while I’m alive, am I supposed to wait until I’m dead to eat?】
【Human! I advise you to mind your own business!】
This was the first time Ruan Xingyao had encountered such a defiant little animal toward her.
And honestly, the feeling was… kind of fascinating.
She relayed Fat Orange’s words to the stream.
“Lucky Little Radish” gave Fat Orange’s big head a light smack. “Fat Orange, don’t be rude.”
Meanwhile, the comment section lit up with activity over Fat Orange’s remarks.
【Hahahahaha! Fat Orange is a good cat! This is the first time I’ve seen the streamer get talked back to!】
【To be fair, Fat Orange has a point! Why worry about what happens after death when you’re alive now?】
【Why eat less in life when after death you’ll fast forever!】
【Hahahahaha! Even a fat cat lives more clearly than we do! Forget dieting—time to order spicy hot pot now!】
【Eat well, eat a lot, eat more! Just eat, just eat, just eat!】
【”Lucky Little Radish”, maybe you should stop thinking about putting your cat on a diet. Look how blessed it looks now!】
“Lucky Little Radish” saw the comments too.
She hugged Fat Orange up to cover her own face—this was just too embarrassing!
“Alright, alright, I’ll listen to reason. I won’t try to make the cat lose weight anymore!” Lucky Little Radish said.
And so, the second call ended just like that.
Ruan Xingyao’s mood had lightened as well.
Just as she was about to start the next call, the meeting room door was knocked on.
A few seconds later, Xie Lin walked in.
He was holding a cup of milk tea, which he handed to Ruan Xingyao.
Xie Lin silently said, “Have something to drink and take a break.”
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the meeting room.
Ruan Xingyao wanted to say something, but Xie Lin had already closed the door.
She reached for the milk tea, not paying attention to the camera, and directly unwrapped the straw in full view, taking a sip.
It was her first time drinking milk tea—sweet, with chewy popping pearls—it really was delicious.
After taking several more sips, the milk tea was already half gone, and only then did she set it down beside her with satisfaction.
When she looked back at the screen, the comment section was already in chaos.
【Whoa, what did I just see? The streamer has a black snake wrapped around her hand?】
【So it’s real! I’m not the only one whose eyes weren’t playing tricks!】
【Help! Streamer, why didn’t you give us any warning? That scared me to death!】
【Pfft, scared? Speak for yourself—this made me rich in joy!】
【Wait… could the streamer be some kind of weirdo? Why keep such a scary animal like a snake?!】
【Help! Streamer, next time could you give us a heads-up first?!】
Ruan Xingyao didn’t immediately bring her hand to the camera.
Instead, she asked, “If I show my hand now, will it scare you?”
Most people in the comments weren’t scared—many actually wanted to see it more clearly.
So Ruan Xingyao said, “Alright, then let me introduce it to you.”
She brought her hand closer to the camera. “This is my little friend I picked up on the mountain today. But if you come across one in the wild, don’t touch it—if it bites you, you won’t die, but it is venomous,” Ruan Xingyao explained.
The little black snake shook its head and hissed in protest, “Hiss hiss.”
【Lies! That bad woman kidnapped me! I wasn’t willing!】
Ruan Xingyao pressed her lips together, holding back a laugh.
She thought, if this little black snake could go online, it would definitely be shouting: Speak up for me! Speak up for me!! Speak up for me!!
She went on, “But don’t worry, I’m only keeping it for a few days. Once I find a suitable place, I’ll release it. Today is a special case, which is why it’s with me during the livestream. This won’t happen again in the future.”
