Chapter 26
is about sisters?
"With your looks, you'll definitely pass," Yu Heng said casually, looking at her excited expression. "Alright, let's go back?"
"Aren't we going to have dinner together tonight?" Ning Yutong looked up at him, her voice filled with obvious anticipation.
"I have things to do when I get back," Yu Heng refused without hesitation.
After dealing with these two women all day, all he wanted to do was go back to his villa, relax, watch Bai Xinran's live stream for a while, and then go to bed early.
"What's wrong?" Ning Yutong asked, pursing her lips and looking aggrieved. "Is it something important?"
Yu Heng looked into her eyes and clicked his tongue inwardly.
This girl is really good at acting cute.
He thought about it and figured there was no need to hide it anyway, and Shen Yueling already knew about it. Keeping it from Ning Yutong would seem like favoritism.
"I rented a place outside," he said slowly, looking at her, "and started a business, running a virtual live streamer."
Ning Yutong blinked, then her face lit up with surprise and curiosity.
"Startup? Virtual YouTuber? You mean one of those on YouTube? Wow, that's amazing!" Her eyes lit up as she looked at Yu Heng, as if she had discovered something incredible. "What's the name of the streamer you manage? Is it on YouTube? Or Bilibili? Is it popular? Can I check it out?"
This reaction was completely different from Shen Yueling's.
Shen Yueling's first reaction was to scrutinize, while Ning Yutong's eyes were full of curiosity and admiration.
"Can I come see your rented apartment?" Ning Yutong shook his arm. "I promise I won't disturb your work!"
Shen Yueling has already been there, and Bai Xinran also lives there, so it doesn't seem like a problem to have Ning Yutong go and take a look.
Perfect, let them meet in advance to avoid trouble later.
He was quite curious to see what would happen when these two girls with completely different styles got together.
"Okay," Yu Heng nodded, "Let's go."
"Great!" Ning Yutong jumped up happily and clung to his arm even tighter.
The two crossed the road and walked towards the villa area.
Throughout the journey, Ning Yutong kept asking questions, all about virtual streamers.
"Are the streamers you manage male or female?"
"A woman."
"Is she good-looking?"
"good."
"So what kind of content does she stream? Playing games or singing?"
"We play games and chat."
Reaching the villa's entrance, Ning Yutong looked at the two-story building before her and gasped in surprise, covering her mouth: "Wow, you rented a villa?!"
"Okay," Yu Heng said, taking out his keys to open the door. "Come in."
Ning Yutong followed him into the entryway, curiously looking around the spacious living room.
"Boss, you're back?" A clear, neutral voice came from the kitchen. "I'm not eating dinner tonight... You'll have to order takeout if you want."
Before she finished speaking, Bai Xinran came out of the kitchen carrying a glass of water.
She was wearing a large T-shirt and shorts, and her short hair was messy with damp ends, as if she had just taken a shower.
She was barefoot on the floor, looking in this direction.
"Bai Xinran, the streamer I mentioned to you." He then turned to Ning Yutong and introduced her, "This is Ning Yutong, my high school classmate."
Bai Xinran paused for a second, then broke into a big smile and extended her hand to Ning Yutong: "Oh~ so you're my high school classmate. Hello, I'm Bai Xinran."
Ning Yutong also reached out and gently shook hands with her: "Hello, Ning Yutong."
The two girls smiled at each other.
One is dashing and heroic, the other is sweet and lovely; the scene is quite pleasing to the eye.
"So," Bai Xinran took a sip of water and looked at Yu Heng, "Boss, are you bringing a new friend to tour the work environment?"
"Yutong is quite interested in virtual YouTubers, let's bring her to see." Yu Heng sat down at the other end of the sofa.
"Yeah, I think it's amazing! What do you usually stream about?"
"Playing games and chatting," Bai Xinran shrugged, "basically just chatting aimlessly with netizens."
The two girls chatted for a while and got along quite well. They even asked about each other's birth months and started talking about being sisters.
"So... does Sister Xinran live here?" Ning Yutong blinked and asked seemingly casually.
"No, but sometimes when the broadcast goes too late, I just sleep here."
"I see..." Ning Yutong said softly, "That's wonderful..."
"Would you like something to drink?" He stood up. "There are drinks in the fridge."
"I'll just drink water," Bai Xinran said.
"I want to drink juice," Ning Yutong raised her hand.
Yu Heng went to the kitchen, and when he returned with the drinks, he found that the two girls were actually chatting.
"Really? Your major requires studying human anatomy?" Ning Yutong's eyes widened in surprise.
"Well, it's just drawing anatomical diagrams," Bai Xinran gestured, "You have to memorize all the muscles and bones so that the drawing is accurate."
"Wow, that's amazing..."
Yu Heng handed the juice to Ning Yutong, the water to Bai Xinran, and opened a can of cola for himself.
"Xinran, your drawings must be really beautiful, right?" Ning Yutong took the juice and thanked her sweetly. "Could I see your artwork?"
Bai Xinran took a sip of water: "I mainly focus on comics, and my art style is more anime-like, which you might not be interested in."
"How could that be! I love reading comics!" Ning Yutong immediately said, "I've followed the entire Naruto series!"
Bai Xinran raised an eyebrow: "Really? Then I'll show you next time you have the chance."
"Oh, by the way," Ning Yutong suddenly turned to Yu Heng, her eyes full of expectation, "Could I come here to hang out sometimes? I promise I won't disturb your work!"
Before Yu Heng could speak, Bai Xinran chimed in, "Of course! It's usually just me and the boss here anyway, so it'll be more lively with more people around."
"That's great! I'll come visit you guys often!"
Come here often? Are you planning to use this place as a social gathering spot?
"Whatever you want," Yu Heng said, taking a swig of cola. "Just don't let it affect your work."
Ning Yutong immediately beamed, "Okay!"
"Boss," Bai Xinran suddenly remembered something, "I haven't decided on tonight's live stream content yet. Do you think we should continue with casual conversation or switch to a different game?"
"Whatever you want, as long as the data is good."
Ning Yutong curiously leaned closer: "Is Sister Xinran going to do a live stream tonight? Can I watch?"
"Sure," Bai Xinran readily agreed, "but I need to prepare first; I need to test the equipment before the live stream."
She stood up, smiled at Ning Yutong, and said, "Please sit down first, I'm going back to my room."
After Bai Xinran closed the door, Ning Yutong immediately moved closer to Yu Heng and whispered, "Has she always lived here?"
Yu Heng found her gossipy expression amusing: "What, you want to move in too?"
"No, that's not it!" Ning Yutong punched him lightly. "It's just that you two are alone together and I'm worried it might be inconvenient for you!"
"We're just work partners. We don't even sleep in the same bed, so what's inconvenient about it?" Yu Heng smiled and said casually, "She can make money from her live streams, and I can get a cut. It's that simple."
"That's good..." she muttered softly, "I thought..."
"What did you think?"
"It's nothing!" Ning Yutong immediately shook her head, changing the subject, "Then can I really come here often in the future?"
"Come if you want," he shrugged. "Just let me know in advance when you're coming."
It's better to be prepared in advance, in case we happen to catch him being intimate with Shen Yueling.
"Okay!" Ning Yutong replied happily, then glanced at the time, "Ah, it's almost six o'clock, I have to go back to the dorm, I have a class meeting tonight."
She stood up, straightened her skirt, and said, "I'm leaving now!"
Yu Heng walked her to the door: "Do you need me to see you off?"
"No need, no need," Ning Yutong waved her hand, "The school is right across the street, it's very close."
She walked out the door, then turned back and gave Yu Heng a sweet smile: "See you tomorrow!"
