Chapter 432 Little Flower (Page 12)
The live stream interface was divided in two by a cold white line, creating a visual contrast so stark that it almost made people squint.
On the left is Tao Zhi Yao Yao's live stream. In the camera, she holds the microphone between her fingertips, her eyes are adorned with tiny sequins, and her eyes sparkle when she looks up. Even the way she lowers her eyes to adjust her earpiece has a touch of nonchalant glamour. The curve of each eyelash is exquisite. Just looking at her makes you hold your breath a little, and you just feel pleasing to the eye.
The image on the right, however, looks like it has a cheap filter applied, with Diamond Lao Gao's face taking up most of the screen.
In his forties, his eye sockets were sunken, and his eyes were cloudy as if covered with a layer of gray. He always unconsciously squinted when looking at the camera, which must be due to severe myopia. Even his gaze was unfocused.
His face was covered in cratering marks that couldn't be hidden, even with skin smoothing. Yet he loved to grin, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth stained with indescribable dirt, which was particularly glaring.
His striped shirt was wrinkled from washing, and the collar was rolled up. He slumped back in his chair as he spoke, his tone nonchalant and his words trailing off. He was the very embodiment of the word "loser" that had stepped out of the dictionary and come to life on the screen.
On the screen, Diamond Lao Gao slumped back in his chair, his legs crossed so high they almost touched the camera. His sleazy voice, dripping with spittle, came through: "Oh, it's Yao Yao? As long as you kneel down and say 'Lao Gao Daddy, I was wrong,' and shout 'Lao Gao is the best in the world,' and also call each of the big brothers in my live stream 'Daddy,' this matter will be over. How about it?"
His arrogant demeanor, even the way he curled his lips, was disgusting, as if making this request was some great favor.
The comments in his live stream were even more unbearable to look at.
Gao Ge is right.
This is how women should be treated.
The text was filled with obscene and vulgar language, so much so that even a glance was offensive.
Backstage, Mu Zhirui's fingers tightened slightly as she gripped her phone, a chilling smile playing on her lips.
Very well, the last streamer who made her feel this bad is now completely unable to make a living from streaming.
This was the first time she had ever realized that this stupid software harbored so many brainless idiots.
Peach Fairy in front of the camera wasn't intimidated at all. She rolled her eyes indifferently, her disdain almost overflowing. Her voice was clear and crisp but carried an icy edge: "If you want to fight, then fight. Why all the nonsense? Besides, your voice is really awful, like a dead duck."
"You!" Upon hearing this, Diamond Lao Gao's cloudy eyes flashed with anger. He sat up abruptly and shouted in broken Mandarin, "Brothers, this bitch is provoking our male dignity, what should we do...?"
Before the word "say" could even be uttered, the screen on the right suddenly went black—Diamond Lao Gao's figure had vanished.
Peach Fairy was stunned for a moment, blinked at the microphone, and looked completely bewildered: "What's going on? Why did the connection suddenly drop?"
She didn't think too much about it, assuming it was just a network problem, and quietly waited for the connection to be restored.
The chat exploded with speculation:
I just switched to his live stream, and it showed that he had ended the stream!
【Wow, so suddenly? Is the internet down at home?】
[It shouldn't be a network outage, right? A network outage would show buffering, not an immediate end to the stream. There must be an emergency?]
[Hahaha, could it be that he was scared off by Yao Yao's one sentence and is now hiding?]
While people were still speculating, Diamond Lao Gao's fans were in an uproar.
Unable to see their own streamer's live stream, a group of people swarmed into Taozhi Yaoyao's live stream room, filling the chat with arrogant remarks:
[You little brat, just you wait! When Lao Gao gets back, he'll beat you to tears!]
【Afraid? My brother Gao is afraid of you? Do you even know how to spell "Old Gao" on this platform? How interesting!】
[Can't you just obediently submit like Xiaohua? Who would like a woman so domineering? You're out of your mind!]
[Qingqing Lingling (Disillusioned with the World): Where do so many ordinary men come from? They have no ability of their own, so all they do is act tough towards women?]
Peach Fairy noticed this comment and quickly said, "Sister Qing, don't get angry with these people, it's not worth it. Admin, please keep an eye on them and blacklist all the people who use foul language!"
She paused, her tone full of sarcasm, "Don't you have your own homes? Instead of staying in your own streamers' live broadcast rooms, you come here to whine and complain. Isn't that hilarious?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the fans immediately chimed in:
[Hahaha, that's the truth! They're probably homeless, a bunch of orphans with no one to care for them!]
[Stop arguing with them, let's think about why your Lao Gao isn't online yet. Could he have been banned?]
To be honest, if what he just said had been reported, it wouldn't be unjust for him to be banned!
We offer a comprehensive management service, including banning and blocking accounts.
The uproar on the public chat hadn't completely subsided. People who had originally just come to see Tao Zhi Yao Yao's looks also became angry and stayed there after hearing the moderators and long-time fans' intermittent recounting of what happened.
There's no other reason than that there are quite a few normal people in the world.
The truth is obvious, and anyone with eyes can see it clearly.
"Oh?" Yao Yao's beautiful eyes, which had previously shown signs of fatigue, suddenly turned sharp as if tempered with ice. The faint smile at the corner of her mouth turned into undisguised sarcasm. "Look who this is."
She thought she would be connected with Diamond Lao Gao again, but unexpectedly, when the PK application pop-up appeared on the right, the avatar on the screen caused the public chat to explode instantly.
[Little Flower! This idiot actually dared to show up again!]
[Maya, this woman must have used eight layers of beauty filters! Her chin is almost completely blurred; if she loses any more weight, she'll be as thin as a cone!]
I feel like throwing up just looking at her now. Seriously, how can she be so shameless?
[You thought you could get away with it just by hooking up with that diamond-rich guy? I've already cut out clips of her backstabbing you, and I'll post them later so everyone can see your true colors!]
That's right.
At this moment, appearing on the right side of the screen is Xiaohua, the female anchor who betrayed Yaoyao a few days ago.
Actually, it's different from what people are saying in the chat. Xiaohua's beauty filter was set to normal parameters and didn't distort the image.
She was born with a pure and innocent look, with a small, oval face and arched eyebrows that gave her eyes a natural innocence. However, the low-cut, waist-revealing dress she wore was too eye-catching, with very little fabric, which completely suppressed her innocence and left her with an abrupt gaudiness that was very inconsistent with her own temperament.
It's hard to imagine that such an innocent-looking face could do such disgusting things.
It truly proves the saying: you can't judge a book by its cover, and you can't measure the sea with a bucket.
Xiao Hua seemed completely oblivious to the outcry in the chat on Yao Yao's side. She flirtatiously brushed a strand of hair behind her ear in front of the camera, her nails painted with glitter that matched her dress, and spoke in a sickeningly familiar tone: "Hello, Yao Yao. What a coincidence! I didn't see Brother Gao here."
Yao Yao was initially feeling resentful and bitter, but seeing her pretentious demeanor, the words caught in her throat, and she could only manage to squeeze out one: "You..."
She remembered that the little flower from before was not like this at all.
The former Xiao Hua always loved wearing light-colored hoodies and pleated skirts, looking cute and simple. Every time I saw her, she would have two fluffy ponytails and call me Sister Yao Yao with a smile. Even when setting punishments for PK battles, she would repeatedly check if it was too much. In live streams, she would always speak up for her female fans, presenting herself as a complete and loving daughter.
But now, Xiaohua...
I stumbled upon her live stream a couple of days ago.
Back then, Xiao Hua wore heavy makeup that was completely different from her usual style. Her eyes were slanted high at the corners, and she deliberately softened her voice when she spoke, calling him "brother" every time. Even when she drank water, she would blink twice at the camera. Every move she made was deliberately awkward and full of an uncomfortable, effeminate charm.
Previously, there were several female bosses who regularly supported Xiaohua in her live stream, and they would help her defend the tower during every PK. However, after she followed Diamond Lao Gao and even said in the fan group that female fans had no spending power and were not as generous as male fans, all the female bosses left within a few days. Now, most of the remaining fans in her live stream are low-class male fans who are attracted by Diamond Lao Gao and like to make dirty jokes.
Yao Yao stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar face on the screen, her mind filled with only doubt.
How can a person change so much in an instant?
It's as if the little flower with the ponytail who used to share funny stories with her never existed.
"Oh, Brother Gao has something on his mind. I'll wait a bit longer then." Xiao Hua glanced at the comments in her live stream, automatically filtering out the negative comments as if they were air. She only smiled at the IDs that had sent her gifts, slowly twirling her long hair that fell to her chest. She winked at the camera and even blew a sweet kiss. "Thank you, Ka-husband~~~ Ka-husband is the best! I'm going to get in the Porsche you gave me right now~~~~"
Yao Yao frowned as she looked at it.
Although the previous actresses didn't have as much popularity as her, the sisters in the live streaming room all doted on her. She didn't need to deliberately flatter them. Every week, the exhibition hall was filled with the sisters. Carnivals and Douyin No. 1 events were common occurrences for her. Why would she need to be so humble and fawning for a 120 Porsche?
For some reason, looking at Xiao Hua, who deliberately softened her tone in front of the camera and whose eyes were full of gift effects, Yao Yao's hatred caused by the betrayal suddenly faded, leaving only an indescribable emptiness.
After Xiaohua finished thanking the gift, she swiped her finger across the screen, as if remembering something. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Yaoyao, her tone laced with a smug provocation: "It seems that Brother Gao really has something to do that's holding him up. Well, let's wait a little longer then."
"By the way, Sister Yao Yao, where are your teammates? Don't let them be late when the PK starts and drag you down, that wouldn't look good."
"I'll be there soon." Yao Yao said calmly. They were playing a team PK today. Xiao Hua, relying on the so-called face she gave to Diamond Lao Gao, kept pestering him to say she wanted to get some credit. Yao Yao herself brought along a friend she had known for many years in the live streaming industry. She was about the same level of fame as Xiao Hua before, and she was also straightforward. She knew about her and responded as soon as she was called.
"Oh." Xiaohua nodded lightly, without asking any further questions, and then turned to the camera to thank the gift in an affected manner.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face on the screen, Yao Yao felt a surge of pent-up emotions, but she finally couldn't help but ask, "How have you been lately?"
Xiao Hua paused in her movements, a fleeting hint of unease crossing her eyes as if something had struck her, but the emotion vanished in an instant, replaced by a sweet smile: "It's great, Sister Yao Yao! Brother Lao Gao and the brothers in the live stream spoil me rotten. I'm earning so much more money now than before, I can buy whatever I want!"
"Really?" Yao Yao looked at the deliberate intent that she couldn't hide in her eyes, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Seeing her like this, Xiaohua seemed to be well-intentioned, yet also sarcastic, and leaned closer to the camera to advise, "Sister Yaoyao, let me tell you the truth, how dare you go head-to-head with Brother Lao Gao? You can't possibly outlast him. Why don't you just back down and apologize, and I'll go and plead with Brother Lao Gao to reduce the PK punishment a bit, how about that?"
Yao Yao stared at the "I'm doing this for your own good" expression on her face, unable to tell whether she genuinely wanted to advise her or was deliberately showing off and making fun of her. After a few seconds of silence, she simply said softly, "No need."
"Hmph, you really don't appreciate kindness!" Xiaohua pouted, said no more, turned her head and rolled her eyes at the camera, her feigned gentleness instantly crumbling.
But the next second, she caught a glimpse of the Porsche effect suddenly appearing on the screen, and her face immediately lit up again. She quickly stood up with a smile, deliberately pulling down her low-cut dress to reveal more skin: "Oh my, thank you, Ka-husband, for another Porsche~~~ Want to see a dance? Sure, sure! I just recently learned a new dance, specially for you guys! Guys in the live stream, let's all thank Ka-husband for requesting the dance. I'll dance one for you first, and we'll watch the dance while waiting for Brother Gao!"
