It was evident that this new top-ranking host was familiar with the little streamer, and their relationship seemed quite close; otherwise, he wouldn’t know where she lived.
People in the live stream perked up their ears, trying to analyze from the audio who this man was.
The conversation was a bit strange, revolving around him asking the beautiful little streamer if she was still live, having an accusatory tone to it.
The little streamer responded quietly.
Then, they heard the confident voice of the unfamiliar man in the live stream, stating he wanted to participate in the upcoming event with the little streamer.
They realized that this man was indeed there to hold her accountable; up until now, they hadn’t known that the beautiful little streamer had a job as a host on the side.
Taking into account the changes in the live stream background and the things the little streamer occasionally let slip, it was highly likely that this man was her superior in real life.
He was the one who had asked her to come to his house to “work overtime” on her day off and even arranged a room for her to spend the night.
However, it seemed that this superior had discovered her little side job.
The viewers in the live stream had a sudden epiphany.
[See? I told you, my wife’s boss must have some sort of affair with her!]
[How despicable! What is his identity? How come he’s part of the team?]
[I’m going to cry! My wife is really going to participate in a love-themed live broadcast with them. I’m not part of it, sob sob sob.]
[Everyone, don’t panic; we’ll find out who he is as soon as he steps into the live stream.]
[You must be so angry, right? So many people like such a beautiful wife; what’s wrong with him coming to ask?]
[Why do I feel like I’ve been NTR’d (ntr means “netorare” – a genre in Japanese media where a partner is taken away)? I’m still listening to my wife, but another man has barged in…]
“Um…” Yan Chuan couldn’t think of anything to refute and was led away by Evan.
Evan wanted to join the event and take advantage of Yan Chuan?
Yan Chuan thought about it and realized there was one very important point.
He pursed his lips, revealing a somewhat conflicted expression: “But I might not just collaborate with one person…”
In the live stream, 99% of the votes were for him to go all in, and many individuals had been nominated.
Moreover, the answers from Keli and the others were all in the affirmative… This meant he had to collaborate with three or four people.
Yan Chuan thought of this and raised the question again.
He directed his gaze towards Evan.
“Many?” Evan seemed prepared and spoke calmly: “How many do you mean?”
The handsome yet gloomy man raised his eyebrows, his eyes deep: “Like those options given in your live stream?”
“Keli, Li, or that Spade?”
Yan Chuan hesitated a bit.
Evan’s tone was flat, and his expression was calm, but Yan Chuan felt he was… angry?
Angry enough to mention the men he had collaborated with in the live stream?
Noticing Evan’s rather unpleasant expression, Yan Chuan wisely chose to be vague.
“That was from the nominations in the live stream,” he bit his lip, his lower lip glistening slightly: “It’s not me…”
“There’s only…” Yan Chuan counted, excluding names like Zhen Chen and A: “Only three.”
In fact, that wasn’t many at all.
Yan Chuan thought for a moment and found that this number wasn’t outrageous, plus there was nothing inappropriate in their live streams.
It was all normal content, aside from collaborating more with Keli, where he played games alongside other members.
Not to mention that one live stream with Spade.
Just three?
Evan noticed the beautiful little streamer had a dazed expression, confirming that he didn’t see three as too many.
His eyes widened slightly, and he bit his lip, appearing hesitant and at a loss.
This was similar to how he usually behaved around him; normally, Evan would rush to soothe him.
But this time was completely different.
Evan felt a deep bitterness inside him.
While he was unaware, the beautiful little employee had already been in close contact with many people, even causing them to fantasize about joining the love event.
Perhaps the beautiful little employee acted the same in front of them as he did with Evan—once he showed signs of being at a loss, these men would lose their value entirely.
For example, during Keli’s live stream, he seemed to be very good at flattering, even discreetly putting others down to showcase his effort.
Even though the beautiful little streamer had no idea what they were competing over, one phrase of “wanting to win and gain points” redirected their focus straight back.
Not to mention the rugged man who could cook, pretending to be the perfect husband and father, even receiving compliments on his culinary skills.
But Evan felt even less valuable than them.
He had just returned from a business trip, tired and dusty, finding his way to her.
He clearly knew that the beautiful little employee was hiding the fact that she was a popular female streamer, and yet he insisted on taking part.
He felt like the most worthless man in the world.
Evan was more puzzled than before—what exactly made him less than those men?
In terms of time, he had definitely met the beautiful little employee first and decisively kept her by his side. As for interaction, he had spent more time with her; those other men only existed in the live stream, akin to a façade of concern that could easily change their expressions.
Evan clearly listed his pros and cons in his mind but understood even less now.
However, Evan had to join Yan Chuan for this activity; otherwise, he wouldn’t even be considered worthless.
He could only watch Yan Chuan get close to other men on screen, which felt scarier than death.
Evan didn’t want to be a man with no value, so he lifted his chin and spoke the most submissive words in a dominant tone.
