【67.]

In the chatting group for pushing Shortie to update.

Tingting: I have to!!! Quit drinking!!!

Tingting: Last night, I didn’t stop drinking and come back until two a.m.

Tingting: As a result, I found my face was swollen this morning.

Tangtang: ?

Tangtang: A drinking girl?

Tingting: I got screwed last night!!!

Tingting: I was a fool.

Tingting: If I had knewn it was a blind date, I wouldn’t have gone there.

Tangtang: So you drank with them in flip-flops until 2 a.m.?

Tingting: I thought we would just  eat at KFC.

Tingting: So I went there with pyjamas and flip-flops.

Tingting: Then I was hammered.

Tingting: Damn.

Tingting: As I woke up, I found myself holding the toilet. Besides, my phone was thrown into the washing machine, and there were four opened bottles of black tea on my bed.

Tangtang: ?

Tingting: I asked my brother what happened last night.

Tingting: He told me after I was drunk, I professed my love to that little boy, saying that he was super good. Then I asked him to buy me four bottles of black tea.

Tingting: What’s wrong with me?!!!!!!

Tangtang: Oops.

Tangtang: My sympathy to that little boy.

Tangtang: Whoever you like will come to no good.

Tingting: Well, now I kind of like you.

Tangtang: No, please spare me.

Xu Chi: Good morning.

Tingting: Shortie, you wake up! It’s time for you to write!

Tangtang: Shortie, you wake up! It’s time for you to write!

Xu Chi: I need to get some more sleep.

Tingting: I am starving!!!

Tingting: Crying. I want to eat steamed egg custard.

Tingting: I mean.

Tingting: The super tender steamed eggs custard.

Tingting: My mom can make it!

Tingting: She always adds some soy sauce and sesame oil to it.

Tingting: I’m hungry.

Tingting: I am gonna get up to make it.

Tingting: Forget it! I can’t.

Tangtang: But I can.

Tangtang: [picture]

Tangtang: I made this on last New Year’s Day!

Tingting: ?

Tingting: I can’t believe you can make it!

Tingting: Oh My God!

Tingting: So how to make it?

Tingting: Just eggs with water, right?

Tingting: Plus, salt.

Tangtang: Eggs with cold water.

Xu Chi: …

Xu Chi: Eggs with warm water.

Xu Chi: Then steam it.

Tingting: Cold water or warm water, which one is correct?

Tangtang: Trust me. With cold water, the egg will be more tender.

Tangtang: I once steamed it with warm water! It’s not tasty!

Xu Chi: With hot water.

Tangtang: With boiled water.

Tingting: ?

Tingting: I don’t want tough steamed egg custard.

Tingting: I want to eat tender one!

Xu Chi: Huh? I heard Guinea Pig will make a live broadcast tonight.

Tingting: Yep… X website held this activity specially for him. Besides, I heard there will be a lot of benefits for fans.

Xu Chi: Alright.

Xu Chi: I’m gonna go.

Tingting: Where are you going?!!!

Xu Chi: The broadcasting room.

Tingting: ?

Tingting: Only the fans of Guinea Pig will go there. What do you go there for?

Xu Chi: I’m his fan too.

Tingting: ?

Tingting: When did you become his fan?

Xu Chi: I just realized it.

Tingting: So how about your writing? When will you update the story? Xu Chi: To celebrate the live broadcast online of Guinea Pig for the first time, I decided to stop the update for three days.

Tingting: ?

Xu Chi: The update is just the business of Shortie. Why does it have anything to do with Short-Tailed Cat?

Tingting:?

Tangtang: …

【68.]

Looking at the increasingly large number of audience entering the broadcasting room, Tang Yanzhi sighed helplessly, “Stop coming in, or I am gonna be exited due to the poor network.”

【Hahahahhah]

【Sure enough, it’s the style of Piggy.]

【The first sentence Piggy said is driving his fans away! So lovely he is!]

【Your glowing terms make me admired.]

“As you know…” Tang Yanzhi looked at those full-screen comments and continued, “I’ve never been interested in this kind of activity. But after all, this is held by X website, my big daddy. So I have to accept it.

【The second sentence Piggy said is targeted on the organizer. So cool!]

【I have a hunch that his third sentence will be “goodbye to you all”.]

【So do I… ]

“Hmm?” Tang Yanzhi looked at the comment and said, “‘I have a hunch that his third sentence will be ‘goodbye to you all.’ ” This audience seems to have followed me for a long time, who knows me well.”

【?]

【???]

【??????]

【What the hell? Are you serious?]

“Calm down… Listen to me!” A laugh came from the microphone of Tang Yanzhi. “Wait, wait! Stop sending me gifts! Do you have enough money to do that? Are you richer than me? Ok, listen to me. Anyone who still sends me gifts will be kicked out of here!”

【Sorry I don’t have money.]

【Sorry you’re the richest.]

【What Piggy said made me overjoyed that I am gonna be blind.]

【What? The last poster, what are you talking about?]

【Piggy is so “bitchy”!]

【But I love you more!]

【Crying. Why is he so lovely even when he is dissing his fans.]

“Ah…. Where were we? Yep… About stopping the live broadcast. Don’t fret. I won’t do that. I’m sure I’ll kill the one and a half hour for the live broadcast.”

【Oh My God! Mark the key words, killing time!]

【Will he just play us a movie for one and a half hour?]

【Or let us watch him writing stories?]

【Or let us watch him revising his stories?]

【Maybe he will just leave us here and then come back in one and a half hour to stop the live broadcast.]

【Piggy, it’s been five minutes. You can leave if you are tired.]

【Are you crazy? Shut up, everyone! Are you giving Piggy advice?]

【The topic today is 108 ways about teaching idols how to stop the live broadcast.]

“I found all of you are so garrulous! Who have you learned it from?”

【You]

【You]

【You]

【You]

【Who else but you?]

【There’s no one else but you.]

“All right… As you all know, there is a part about grasping the microphone. If you don’t know how to play this name, I’ll explain it again. After I count from 1 to 3, there will be 8 seats for speaking; the first one on the seat will have a chance to ask me a question. Remember, only one question! Well, I will answer all your questions except some private ones. And this game will last for one and a half hour. Are you ready?”

【Yes!]

【Already!]

【Please grand me the highest speed for grasping the microphone!]

“3, 2, 1… All right, congratulations to this audience named “Dear He of Brother Nan”. Now you can turn on the microphone.”

【Shit! How come this fan is so fast to be the first one?]

【I have already been stuck due to the bad network.]

【With regard to wealth, I lost; With regard to speed, I lost again.]

After being silent for several minutes, an excited female voice appeared in the broadcasting room, “Good evening, Piggy! You’ve done a hard work!”

【Hahahaha]

【Hahahahahahhahahaha]

【It sounds like a leader who is talking to her subordinate. Hahahaha]

【What a lovely girl!]

Tang Yanzhi also smiled, and said gently, “Good evening! Relax. Take it easy. I am very kind. I am not a monster.”

【Hahahahahhahah]

【I’m overjoyed now!]

【I’m gonna laugh to die!]

“I-I-I-I… I’m so excited! I’ve been following you for a long time! Last time I failed to attend the Anime Expo. Well, I didn’t expect that I could be so lucky to speak to you through the microphone now. It’s… It’s  a dream coming true! My question is whether there will be more copies of “Pillow Talk”. I really like this story!! And Brother Nan and Dear He! But it’s really hard to get your book!”

【I love this story, too!!]

【+1]

【+2]

【You took the words out of my mouth!]

【Every time it’s a fierce battle to get Piggy’s book.]

Tang Yanzhi looked at the comments and coughed lightly, and then he said, “First of all, thanks for following me so long time. Secondly, I will consider this problem.”

After this fan, the game went on. Other fans who grasped the microphone also asked some questions about the stories Piggy wrote. Even if there were some questions about Piggy’s habit in real life, such as “Is there any food Piggy hates?” or “What kind of books Piggy usually like?”, these were easily answered.

The atmosphere in the broadcasting room was active and lively. Time flied. Tang Yanzhi looked at the time on the computer and then said, “This live broadcast is coming to an end. You can ask one more question. Take your last chance!”

【Crying. How come time went by so fast?]

【I am quite satisfied even if I didn’t grasp the microphone. Have you noticed that Piggy was very polite when talking with the girls who got the microphone?]

【Yep! I am jealous of them!!!]

【Piggy must be a gentle person in real life!]

【Everyone is quite polite! No one asked Piggy any private questions. As a member of Piggy’s fans, I feel so glad!]

【Hahhahahhaha The last poster, what are you talking about? Piggy has said he wouldn’t answer this kind of question from the beginning.]

【Now that you like Piggy, you should protect him! If you made Piggy unhappy, you don’t deserve to be Piggy’s fan!]

【Come on, Piggy!! I love you forever!!!]

“Okay Okay. Why are you so emotional now? There is one more chance for you!” Tang Yanzhi was amused, “Are you ready? 3, 2, 1… Congratulations to this audience named “I Am Gonna Cry”! You can turn on your microphone now.”

【I Am Gonna Cry]

【I Am Gonna Cry]

【I Am Gonna Cry]

【I Am Gonna Cry]

【I Am Gonna Cry]

【I Am Gonna Cry]

The broadcasting room kept silent for a long time. Tang Yanzhi wondered, “Excuse me… ‘I Am Gonna Cry’, are you there? If no one answer, I am gonna change…”

“Yeah. Here I am.”

【?????]

【?????]

【Oh My God! ?????]

【WTF?????]

【I’m deaf???? Am I deaf????]

【A boy fan???]

【A cute boy????????]

Tang Yanzhi was stunned when he heard the voice, and then raised his eyebrow and said, “I didn’t expect I had a boy fan.”

【Neither did I.]

【From Piggy’s voice, I heard he was quite proud of it!]

【+1]

【Piggy is gonna laugh to die!!!]

Xu Chi stared at the green light in front of his id on the screen, feeling that his id revealed his true feelings now. When he heard it was the last question, he really just wanted to have a try. But he didn’t expect that…

“Are you at home?” Tang Yanzhi suddenly asked.

Xu Chi replied confusedly, “Yep…”

“Have you had a meal?”

Xu Chi found that Tang Yanzhi had recognized his voice, even just hearing several words. He didn’t know whether he should praise him for his sharp hearing. Then he smiled reluctantly, “Yep. Already.”

【What’s up? ]

【They were actually chatting!]

【Is this the special benefit for a boy fan?]

【They know each other?]

【I have the same feelings with you!]

【Huh… Only I was focusing on his voice? I think this cute boy’s voice is so charming!!]

【I sensed it….]

【I smelt it…]

【I felt it…]

Then, Tang Yanzhi turned to an official tone, “‘I Am Gonna Cry’, what’s your question?”

Even though they didn’t face to each other, Xu Chi could feel the weird tone of Tang Yanzhi. While, he had not prepared any questions yet. So he asked in a hurry, “I’d like to ask Pig… Piggy, who is your favorite writer?”

【The cute boy is so nervous!].

【How adorable this cute boy is!!!].

【Cute!!!]

【That’s also what I want to ask. But I haven’t grasp the microphone yet.]

After it, Tang Yanzhi didn’t say anything for a long time. When fans, together with Xu Chi, suspected that Tang Yanzhi had got disconnected, suddenly Tang Yanzhi laughed lightly, which made Xu Chi nervous inexplicably as if it scratched on Xu Chi’s chest. Then Tang Yanzhi said in a solemn tone:

“It’s you.”
