After having their fill, Sun Cheng took on the task of washing the dishes. He first took out his old IBM laptop for Ye Qi to use, and then went to the kitchen to clean up.

After several minutes of washing the dishes, he came out of the kitchen and saw Ye Qi sitting cross-legged in front of the coffee table in the living room, already busy on her computer.

"What are you doing, sis..." he asked as he approached.

"Just browsing the livestreaming room..."

Without looking up, she replied. They both enjoyed spicy food, so they had put a lot of hotpot seasoning earlier. Perhaps the spiciness had not yet subsided, her pretty face still looked red and tempting.

Hearing that she was going to browse the livestreaming room, Sun Cheng frowned slightly but didn't say anything.

Ye Qi was two years his senior, graduated from St. John's Women's College in Shanghai, majoring in English and minoring in Japanese. She was a genius who could proficiently read, write and sing in two foreign languages.

Sun Cheng was not quite sure why she did not choose to return home after graduating from college and work at a school in her hometown. Or perhaps she was really attracted by the bustling city of Shanghai, the magical China's first metropolis. In any case, shortly after graduating from college, Ye Qi signed a contract with the largest livestreaming platform in China, Laurel Web, and became a somewhat famous online host.

To be honest, Sun Cheng didn't have a good impression of livestreaming platforms. Because of Ye Qi, he occasionally browsed Laurel Web, only to find that there were many who showed off their sexiness, posed and acted, and made dirty jokes. There were even those who challenged the bottom line, making Sun Cheng very uncomfortable with this new social model of the 3.0 era.

But as long as Ye Qi liked it, that was good enough!

Back at their place, he naturally couldn't continue wearing sunglasses.

During dinner, Ye Qi noticed the bruise on his face, but had been holding back until now to ask: "Acheng, what happened to your face?"

"It's nothing, just had a fight with a classmate over a small matter!"

He casually replied, not wanting to continue the topic. Sun Cheng took out his phone from his pocket and prepared to play a few games to pass the time.

Ye Qi skillfully manipulated his IBM laptop and downloaded the Laurel Web livestreaming client.

Looking up at the new phone in his hand, she couldn't help but frown and ask, "Did you get a new phone?"

"No, the screen of the old one was broken. After all, it's an older model and I have to wait a few days to get the original screen replaced. This phone is borrowed from a repair shop temporarily..."

He made up a story and waved his hand without looking up. His Apple phone was still in the Decepticons' base laboratory in another world.

Although he had considered bringing his Apple phone, which had been upgraded several times with Decepticon abilities, back to reality during his previous returns, he had always made the rational choice of bringing back something more useful to his real self.

"But next time I return, I should bring it back..."

Thinking of the phone that had been upgraded with Decepticon abilities and had the performance of a high-end business notebook, it might really be a helpful tool.

Ye Qi obviously didn't know any of this. While sipping on a glass of juice, she suddenly brightened up and said, "I'm still worried about what to give you for your birthday this year. This way, tomorrow, sister will accompany you to the Apple store to get you a new phone..."

Although she was only a second or third-tier internet celebrity on Laurel Web, she still had some fame and earned a monthly income of two to three thousand yuan.

However, Sun Cheng had been too embarrassed to ask her for money before, and now it was even more impossible to accept. He immediately shook his head like a drum, "No need. After all, it was a gift you gave me when I entered college. I've had it for several years and have feelings for it. Besides, I don't play many games on my phone. It's more than enough to make a call or send a message..."

"Well, then..."

The Laurel Web client was quickly downloaded. After the software download prompt caught Sun Cheng's attention, he saw that after logging into her own host account, Ye Qi did not browse other hosts' livestreaming rooms. Instead, she went directly to her own livestreaming room from the backstage.

"Sun Cheng, come over here," she waved her hand, signaling for Sun Cheng to come over.

Sun Cheng looked at the computer in front of her with a slight frown, "Sis, it's so late, and you still want to livestream?"

"The contract specifies a daily livestream time, which we have already completed today. But before I came, I mentioned to my fans that I would be celebrating my brother's birthday, so they requested that you make an appearance tonight," she said with a sweet and proud smile. "There will be tips, at least two gardens!"

Sun Cheng looked at her with some surprise. He occasionally browsed the Laurel website and naturally knew that 'gardens' were the highest tip on this livestream platform, worth a thousand yuan. Even if the split between the host and the platform was the lowest 50-50, the host could still receive 500 yuan.

He wasn't very keen on exposing himself, but seeing her face full of expectation, he reluctantly nodded.

Only then did Ye Qi get up from the sofa next to her, took out a small set of Bluetooth earphones from her luggage, put them on herself, and fiddled with the earphones and computer for a while. Soon, she connected to the livestream and sat back down, adjusting the camera angle.

Glancing at the screen, Sun Cheng's eyes flickered. He hadn't expected that at this time, even in an unopened livestream room, there could be several hundred people lurking and hanging out. It could only be said that the internet age's otakus were truly not to be underestimated.

"Sister Qi is online, come and watch!"

"The host, please sing a song. I want to listen to Heathens' Sexy!"

"Sister Qi said she's going to celebrate her brother's birthday in Nandu. Ah, I'm so envious of having a sister who loves her brother so much!"

"Lick me, beautiful Sister Qi. If it weren't for Brother Jun, I'd unfollow you!"

Perhaps due to the boost of the host coming online, the livestream room quickly became lively, and soon had a scale of four or five thousand people. The barrage of comments also began to frantically scroll, including some comments that made people frown.

"Why did you want to become a livestream host, sister?"

Sun Cheng whispered.

Ye Qi had just adjusted the camera and was about to interact with her fans when she heard him ask, and she couldn't help but pause.

She quickly pressed the Bluetooth earphone to turn off the sound and turned her head to think. "Perhaps because I don't want to be a translator, and I don't want to go home and become a teacher... And here, I can sing... Isn't that great?"

She smiled and then pulled Sun Cheng to sit next to her, hugging his arm with one hand, and reopening the earphone's sound. "Hello, everyone in the livestream room. Today, I mentioned to everyone that I would come to Nandu to celebrate my brother's birthday... Hey, this handsome young man is my brother... Don't underestimate him, he's a top student at Nandu Industrial University... Come on, Ah'cheng, say hello to everyone..."

Sun Cheng squeezed out a smile and pointed at the camera, "Hello, everyone..."

He quickly noticed that the various dirty jokes and vulgar barrage on the screen were increasing. He couldn't help but frown, and turned to Ye Qi, "Sis, you guys have fun. I still have some work to do, so I'll go first..."

After speaking, he gently patted Ye Qi's arm and nodded slightly at the camera before picking up his ultrabook and heading to the master bedroom next door!
