Because the desserts he was offered didn’t fall under the category of company lunches, they would cost extra. Yan Chuan was financially strained and couldn’t afford to spend money on treats. However, he didn’t quite understand why this colleague, whom he had no connection with, would kindly offer him something to eat.
Yan Chuan politely declined, saying, “Thank you, but I—” Before he could finish his sentence, his colleague blushed and ran away, just like last time.
Yan Chuan: … What’s going on?
Author’s Notes:
Evan: He’s so innocent and unpretentious, a resilient little flower that I really like.
Yan Bao: Don’t interrupt my edge-cutting streaming; I’m busy here.
P.S.: There will be some scenes where Yan Bao’s behavior might lead others to think he’s shy, but then they discover he’s actually wearing stockings for others to see on the platform.
In this chapter, Yan Chuan, as a junior employee, struck a unique agreement with his immediate supervisor. He allowed Evan, who had a leg fetish, to enjoy his legs while retaining his job, refusing any demands outside of that and requesting that Evan not change his position, allowing him to remain in his original role.
Yan Chuan also declined the card Evan offered, looking down with a neutral expression and saying, “I don’t need this, I have a job.” Although he was referring to his daytime office job and nighttime as a female streamer.
After work, Yan Chuan crammed into a bus to go home, but this time he brought back a set of documents to handle. The colleague who had suggested he act as a ghostwriter seemed to think that bringing him more desserts and snacks would make him drop the commission fee. Yan Chuan took the initiative to seek him out and asked for the documents.
The colleague hesitated, perhaps ignited by Yan Chuan’s enthusiasm for work. He immediately transferred the full fee to Yan Chuan and said that there was no rush and it could be delayed.
Yan Chuan observed the commission fee had more than doubled and nodded in approval. He thought to himself that the treatment in this group was really good; colleagues could casually take out nearly a month’s salary.
Of course, it was also possible that this little worker’s salary was just too low. Yan Chuan refused to dwell on that possibility.
He climbed the stairs to his rented room. After one night, he had become accustomed to this excessively cramped space. He took some time to tidy up the room and even had someone replace the light bulb with a brighter one; otherwise, the audience wouldn’t even be able to see his face during the live stream.
Of course, Yan Chuan had no intention of showing his face right away.
Last night, he browsed through most of the recommended videos on the live streaming platform and estimated which channels were likely to attract fans.
A note about the city where Yan Chuan lived, K City: it had a highly developed economy, and the entertainment industry thrived. However, people’s inner lives were very empty, craving some thrilling, eye-catching content for entertainment, and they relished it tirelessly.
In short, it was a society where entertainment reigned supreme. The live streaming platform Yan Chuan was on was the largest in K City, having signed a vast number of streamers; there were plenty of small streamers like him.
As for the content of the streams, the most popular divisions were roughly gaming and lifestyle. The gaming zone consisted of live game streaming like yesterday’s “Kori,” where skilled players could attract a good number of fans. As for the lifestyle zone, besides those specializing in high-risk extreme sports, there was Yan Chuan’s newly acquired identity, a female streamer.
This was skirting the edges, yet the boundaries were still quite broad, and his streams hadn’t been shut down at all. When he saw it, he doubted what he was witnessing.
After careful consideration, Yan Chuan decided to take that route too. He had no choice; he wasn’t good at playing games, and he figured he would just get berated for being a terrible player if he connected with someone. Furthermore, given the identity assigned to him by the escape plot, female streamer… it seemed he would likely have a close relationship with cross-dressing in the future.
More importantly, he had even seen a live stream titled “Killer Online Taking Orders” on the streaming platform.
When he saw it, he was puzzled that such dark content could blatantly appear on a public platform in modern society. But when he clicked in, it was indeed what he thought.
Within the rapidly changing shots, he glimpsed outdoor running and frantic cries for help, followed by scenes of blood flowing like rivers. The viewer count for this stream reached a terrifying six figures, and surprisingly, there were still people cheering and tipping.
Yan Chuan closed that live stream, gaining a new understanding of the tricks in the escape plot. He also realized that in escape plots, even if a social setting looked entirely normal, there would definitely be something abnormal lurking beneath the surface.
Obviously, he couldn’t handle that sort of work either, so after repeated consideration, Yan Chuan chose the path that escape plots provided for him. He aimed to become the most famous streamer on the platform in a short time, at most within three to five years.
How? It was self-evident: by relying on “cross-dressing.”
After adjusting the lighting and tidying up the messy background, Yan Chuan opened the live streaming room.
He finished washing up in the bathroom and changed into a very ordinary dress. Since he was a female streamer, he had to wear female clothing, which was also quite common for streamers on the platform and highly sought after.
In his rented room, there were various female clothing options; Yan Chuan chose a light blue sailor suit to wear.
The fit was perfect, but it came with a pair of white stockings, which Yan Chuan didn’t put on, thinking that probably not many people would watch him today.
As soon as he opened the live stream, he was stunned by the number of likes he received.
There were over ten thousand likes, along with several thousand comments, all based on the photo he posted last night, and his follower count had increased by more than three thousand.
Yan Chuan slightly frowned and opened the comment section to take a look.
Then, his eyes widened in shock.
[Hand control benefits, come quickly! @a @b]
[So delicate and white! I’m going all in, going all the way!]
[Want to send clothes to my wife, any addresses?]
[I declare this is my new wife, muah muah muah muah]
