Chapter 210 Is it just goodwill?
When Cheng Yanqing arrived, He Jinye was already there. And judging from his voice, he was watching a live stream.
The only problem is that the voice keeps changing.
"You're here." He Jinye greeted him.
"Ah."
"I've already ordered. Now, see what you'd like to add."
After glancing at the menu, Cheng Yanqing put it aside: "This will do."
He Jinye: "Want to have a drink?"
"I drove here, maybe next time."
"Please wait a moment, gentlemen." The waiter went out to prepare.
Only the two of them remained in the private room. He Jinye picked up his phone and casually sent a gift.
Watching the beautiful female anchor on the screen express her gratitude excitedly, I felt bored and immediately logged off: "Compared to Xiaoyu, she is clearly prettier, but she makes me feel so bored."
Cheng Yanqing became inexplicably concerned when he kept mentioning this name.
Why are you so focused on her? Is it because of me?
"Yeah, but you know I watch live streams anyway. It's you who's playing too, but you choose to play on a different platform than mine? That's really going too far."
"I was just browsing casually, do I have to report everything to you?"
"We can watch it together, don't you think it'll be more lively that way?"
"I don't think so, and I don't need it."
He Jinye complained a few more times, then straightened his expression and said, "So, you really have fallen for a female anchor?"
Cheng Yanqing spoke after a while: "I don't know either."
He seemed unsure himself; what might seem clear and obvious to others could be difficult for him.
Maybe this is because the authorities are obsessed with it, but bystanders can tell.
He Jinye found Cheng Yanqing's behavior quite interesting and said, resting his chin on his hand, "I've never seen you like this before. You always seem so confident and composed."
"It's such a simple thing, and you can't even confirm your own feelings? Are you a coward when it comes to love? Hahaha, that's hilarious!"
Cheng Yanqing raised her eyes, her pupils were dark, like a deep sea, very beautiful, but also unfathomable.
You will only discover the treasure beneath when he is willing to show it to you.
"Of course I'm not a coward, I just feel..."
"What do you think?"
Am I confusing this emotion with other emotions?
"How are you going to confuse us like this?"
"Seriously, I'm speechless. I thought that at least you would be able to see your own heart clearly after all this, but you still look like you're sick."
"Then let me help you, face your own heart!"
"...Stop reciting lines like that. Do you think you're reading lines from a script?" Cheng Yanqing was speechless; he was already starting to regret coming here.
He Jinye suddenly asked, "Why did you watch her live stream back then? She was clearly just an inconspicuous newcomer at first glance. There are many other streamers on the platform, right?"
"What were your special feelings when you met her?"
The question sounded quite serious, and Cheng Yanqing wasn't offended; it wouldn't hurt to answer it.
"I just happened to see it while casually swiping through the screen."
There are always times when you feel tired and need to rest. Cheng Yanqing watches live streams because He Jinye once mentioned that there are some people who are interested in this.
Even if you encounter a boring person, you might think it's worth a look since you've never seen them before.
"Then why did you watch the live stream? Was it because of me?"
"Oh well, so you agree?"
"It seems that my good friend has had a significant influence on you."
"So it really is fate."
Fate? Cheng Yanqing thought for a moment, and perhaps that was the right way to put it.
Just like He Jinye said, there are so many streamers on the platform, but he just happened to see her at that time.
He Jinye urged, "Continue, continue. You don't need to hide anything from me. Be honest."
Cheng Yanqing would never have discussed this topic with him unless he truly needed help.
"I didn't have any particular feelings. I just happened to see her playing a PK game at that time. It looked like she was about to lose, and her side was deserted with hardly anyone around. So I casually sent her a gift, and then she won."
"I can already guess what will happen next. She'll definitely be very excited to thank you, keep a close eye on your movements, and keep chatting with you, right?"
As He Jinye spoke, he thought to himself: What an old trick.
However, if Cheng Yanqing were a man who could be tricked, he would have been tricked by a bunch of women long ago, and wouldn't have waited until now.
Is he the kind of person who will stay if someone really needs him?
neither.
He's not a saint.
Cheng Yanqing can still clearly remember her expression at that time, which was mostly the same as what He Jinye said, except: "She didn't keep talking to me. She seemed a bit introverted, but she really tried hard to find things to talk about."
"Then, to thank me, she sang a song."
He Jinye recalled that during her live streams, she would occasionally sing a few songs after chatting with the viewers for a while.
She rarely knew how to do the things her older brother ordered.
"Singing? The streamer's voice is quite cute, but her singing skills seem to be just average. But for girls to sing, being cute is just fine."
Cheng Yanqing frowned. When did He Jinye start praising people like that?
He has never been interested in cute girls, and has even casually remarked that this is a typical otaku sexual orientation.
"And she seems to especially like cute and upbeat songs, which makes her even cuter when she sings them."
"But I think she would be especially cute if she did a cute dance, but she doesn't seem to be able to dance. Oh well, it doesn't matter. There are so many streamers who can dance, I just think she's average."
Cheng Yanqing: Have I already said "cute" several times?
However, he did not refute it, because subconsciously he also agreed with it.
It was just something other people said, and they kept talking about it, which was a bit annoying.
After saying that, He Jinye finally remembered his good friend: "And then? You just stayed?"
"Ah."
"Then why did you stay?"
"Does this even need a reason?"
"Of course, you've watched live streams before, right? This isn't the first time you've seen her, is it?"
"Ah."
"So this is actually very important. Why were you not interested in staying when you watched live streams before, but you stayed this time? It's because you were interested."
Cheng Yanqing lowered her eyes: "I just don't dislike her. It's okay for her to stay. There aren't many people in her live stream, and she doesn't have any big spenders."
"tsk"
Cheng Yanqing looked up and stared at He Jinye.
He Jinye tapped the glass on the table with his fingertips: "You had a good impression of her from the first time you met her. All your evaluations and feelings about her are positive."
"So many reasons were given, like her live stream is deserted and she doesn't have any big spenders. If it were any other streamer, would you care about these issues? Would you take a second look? Or linger for even a second? No."
"That's what liking someone means."
"...You just said it was just a crush."
