Chapter 84 The Inferior Dog in Relationships
The rules for this online singing competition are extremely simple, and can even be described as having no restrictions whatsoever.
There were no complicated rules or regulations, no professional judges to scrutinize the performance; the only criterion for judgment was Bai Li's personal preference. This was a musical feast tailor-made for her.
After all, whoever pays the money is the boss.
There are no gender restrictions; both boys and girls are welcome to participate.
There are no requirements for the singing style; whether it is a natural vocal performance or one that uses electronic embellishments, it is all allowed.
As for musical styles, they accept everything from popular melodies to traditional Chinese tunes, even rhythmic rap and unique shouting styles.
Professional singers can showcase their talents here, and amateur enthusiasts also have the opportunity to perform on stage.
Pure appreciation and exchange.
The unrestricted rules attracted numerous singers to apply, and the company's email inbox was overwhelmed with requests.
Fortunately, Bai Li didn't need to do the selection process herself; she just needed to wait for the audition and enjoy the songs.
So Bai Li continued to work in the Jedi Continent without any psychological burden.
Does anyone know?
It's very tiring for one person to work two jobs.
Especially the night shift, which is fraught with danger and requires constant vigilance, is very tiring.
Moreover, in order to continue to enjoy chicken dinners without pain, one must find a way to cling to Ying Xiangyang's coattails.
Trying to curry favor with someone powerful is a mentally taxing task. Not only do you have to make Yang Ge happy so that he will carry you to higher ranks without complaint, but you also can't let him get too happy, lest he take advantage of you and make unreasonable demands.
When Ying Xiangyang first reunited with Bai Li after a long separation, he completely concealed his prickly nature and his cheeky personality, becoming exceptionally docile.
After a few days, once they became familiar with each other, he couldn't hide his true nature anymore and started subtly teasing Bai Li in various ways.
For example, deliberately pulling Bai Li along on a tandem motorcycle, suddenly pushing the speed to the limit, speeding up the highest hillside, and then doing a Thomas Flair in the air.
Bai Li was so frightened that she closed her eyes tightly and let out a sharp bang, while Ying Xiangyang laughed loudly in the earphone.
For example, he was flying the plane normally when he suddenly did a difficult falling leaf move, which scared Bai Li so much that she cursed him as a "primary school student" and a "Yang dog".
If someone else were to curse like that, Xiang Yang could retort with ten curses for every single one of their insults.
Bai Li's scolding of him will not only not make him feel bad, but will also make him feel good.
But if he senses that Bai Li is really angry, he will obediently apologize and then try to coax her back, doing everything he can to make her happy until Bai Li is no longer angry and forgets about it, and then he will come back next time!
The difference between "Brother Yang" and "Goblin Yang" sometimes lies in a single thought of Bai Li.
The viewers in the live stream were right; they shouldn't give Ying Xiangyang too much credit, otherwise he'd really get cocky and become even more unscrupulous.
Bai Li also tried to find other companions, hoping to find someone who could replace Ying Xiangyang.
But she found it difficult to find another Ying Xiangyang; no one could match Ying Xiangyang.
In terms of looks, she's not as handsome as him;
In terms of technology, the difference is even greater;
In terms of the charm of language, no one can speak as sweetly as him, and no one can curse as swiftly as him.
When Ying Xiangyang isn't acting like a jerk, he's extremely charming as long as he speaks properly.
His voice was deep and magnetic, and when it came through the headphones, it felt like it was carrying an electric current, sending a tingling sensation deep into your heart.
Bai Li had to admit that Yang Gou's skills were truly excellent, and the gaming experience he provided was top-notch.
If he doesn't use foul language and treats everyone fairly, he's undoubtedly the top gaming companion.
When Ying Xiangyang found out that Bai Li had found another companion, he exploded and panicked.
Bai Li can treat him however she wants—she can scold him, ignore him, or even treat him like a dog—but he can't stand Bai Li finding other dogs.
When Ying Xiangyang saw that Bai Li's team was full and he couldn't join, he immediately broke through Bai Li's defenses.
But he couldn't do anything to Bai Li. PUBG didn't have a spectator function, so he could only watch from outside the room as Bai Li played with other dogs.
My heart is breaking; I feel so anxious and aching.
He frantically texted Bai Li, earnestly begging for forgiveness. When Bai Li didn't reply, he waited in the game, staring intently at the screen. When he saw Bai Li finish the match, he clicked on Bai Li's avatar to send a team join request.
Bai Li almost hated Ying Xiangyang to death at that time. She forgot the specifics of what happened, but it must have been that Ying Xiangyang had acted like a jerk again and completely angered her.
After trying several companion games and finding them all uninteresting, she finally brought Ying Xiangyang into the team.
For the next week, Ying Xiangyang behaved like a docile kitten, following Bai Li around and calling her "sister" softly and sweetly. She was always responsive to his requests and never dared to misbehave again for a while.
Actually, during that period, the relationship between the two had already begun to become somewhat ambiguous and unclear.
After all, normal teammates wouldn't actively follow and protect you the whole time, willingly acting as a "human shield," nor would they frequently engage in intimate interactive actions during the game.
Just then, PUBG released several new duo emotes, including a princess carry, a sexy duo dance, and a marriage proposal...
Ying Xiangyang and Bai Li tried it all together, and after it was over, they took screenshots, saved them, and posted them on their WeChat Moments, tagging Bai Li.
In addition, whenever the two of them achieve a high-difficulty kill or win a chicken dinner, they run to each other's side and do specific dance moves together, forming a unique celebration ritual between them.
Would a normal teammate do this?
Maybe, but certainly not like them, not only tirelessly trying it repeatedly, but also carefully taking photos to commemorate the experience.
Ying Xiangyang went even further, changing his phone's screen saver and computer desktop to a game screenshot of him and Bai Li, and not just any ordinary game screenshot, but one where their heads were touching.
Bai Li's feelings for Xiang Yang are complex. On one hand, she truly hates him and sometimes gets so angry that she wants to sever ties with him immediately. On the other hand, she is also very infatuated with him.
She may be short in real life, but she's a goddess in the world of anime!
This kind of emotional exchange across the internet, without the constraints of real physical contact or the responsibilities of real life, is so enjoyable with its ambiguous feeling.
The two gradually began to expand their conversations beyond simply talking about games to sharing snippets of their daily lives.
Every day, they would ask each other if the other person had gotten up, eaten, and what they had eaten.
Then, plan the next game time and maintain close contact at all times.
Ying Xiangyang was practically bewitched by Bai Li.
He already had a soft spot for Bai Li; in his eyes, the person he liked was cute no matter what she looked like—cute laughter, cute speech, and even cuter when she was angry.
But at the same time, he was also in agony, because separated by the internet, he could only depict Bai Li's current appearance through the screen and hear her voice, but he could not actually touch her or hug her.
Moreover, Shirakawa is an extremely cautious person.
Ying Xiangyang knew about her past and her status as an orphan. She was afraid that if Ying Xiangyang saw her now, he would have doubts.
Therefore, she always reminded herself to keep her distance from Ying Xiangyang, and that their relationship could only remain online.
Bai Li and Ying Xiangyang flirted online, but whenever the topic of meeting in person came up, they would brush it off.
Ying Xiangyang is too obsessed, even more obsessed than I am.
It was already incredibly amazing that I could fall in love with my bald head and my bruised face back then.
If we met in person, he might just eat me alive.
She's too innocent; Bai Li is afraid she won't be able to handle it.
She can dominate the world of anime and manga, but in the real world, that's no longer her advantage.
If Ying Xiangyang tests her too much, Bai Li will resort to passive-aggressive behavior.
The method of passive-aggressive behavior is very simple: just not reply to messages.
Ying Xiangyang was being tortured to death.
The two communicate through games and their cell phones.
If Bai Li chooses to give him the silent treatment and stops replying to his messages, then the two of them will truly lose contact.
Ying Xiangyang felt that if she were to lose her first love again after finally getting back in touch with him, she would really go crazy and break down.
All he could do was open the chat window eight hundred times a day to see if Bai Li had replied, scroll through the chat history, and click on Bai Li's voice message to listen to her voice.
He has to say sorry a hundred times a day, using various ways to apologize, and making countless promises in an attempt to win back Bai Li.
Every time a message pops up on my phone, I have to open it immediately to see if Bai Li has replied.
If not, hope is dashed, and all expectations are instantly dashed.
Ying Xiangyang knew clearly that he was completely finished.
The invincible elite in the Jedi Continent eventually became a lowly dog in matters of the heart.
------------------------------------------
Bai Li's passive-aggressive behavior usually doesn't last long. Seeing that Ying Xiangyang's apology was sincere, and besides, he has no one to carry him in the rankings this season! He hasn't even gotten the championship skin yet!
The cold war would end in no more than a day, and they would reconcile.
It's only because Xiangyang is so love-struck that he can tolerate Baili's unpredictable hot-and-cold personality.
Sometimes, Shirai could realize that she might have gone too far.
Ying Xiangyang just wanted to meet him; he probably didn't have any bad intentions.
But Ying Xiangyang hasn't gotten the championship skin yet this season!
Let's wait until we get the championship skin.
……
After the season ended, Bai Li finally got the championship skin she wanted.
Bai Li was happy, but Ying Xiangyang was not.
Because he discovered that he was being used as a tool to help others rank up.
As soon as the season ended, Bai Li was like a kite with a broken string.
He no longer plays games and replies to messages very slowly.
When asked when she would come to play games, the reply was a perfunctory three words—"We'll see," cold and dismissive.
Ying Xiangyang was so angry he was itching to get his teeth clenched, but he couldn't do anything about the white pear.
He was truly afraid that Bai Li would continue to give him the silent treatment, so he could only humbly wait for Bai Li, waiting for the day when Bai Li would be willing to play games again.
During Bai Li's absence, the other brothers in the dormitory took over as teammates, clearly sensing Ying Xiangyang's low mood, and none of them dared to utter a sound.
The sharp-eyed viewers in the live stream noticed Ying Xiangyang's unusual behavior early on.
They weren't afraid of Ying Xiangyang at all, not to mention that some people just enjoyed seeing others' defenses crumble, deliberately bringing up topics they didn't want to discuss.
"Host, why are you unhappy? Is it because your wife left you?"
"Caring for elderly people living alone brings happiness to everyone. Stay strong, anchor!"
“Besides loneliness and us, you have nothing left, streamer.”
……
As Ying Xiangyang looked at the comments, his temples throbbed. His already wounded heart felt like it had been rubbed with salt, and the pain was almost suffocating.
If it were in the past, if the comments provoked him like that, he would definitely have turned on his mic and lashed out.
This time he truly broke down, so unlike his usual self, who was just in a low mood, with empty eyes and no words, he picked up his gun and devoted himself entirely to the game, turning on berserk mode, killing anyone he saw, one shot at a time, venting all his anger on the game.
The kill effects on the screen flashed incessantly, incredibly fast.
The ridiculous thing is, he looks even more handsome when he has a cold expression.
It's a big no-no for a streamer to stay silent; otherwise, they won't be able to retain viewers.
But Ying Xiangyang's silence is more captivating than his speech.
Ying Xiangyang remained silent, yet the number of viewers did not decrease; in fact, it increased.
His cold face suddenly changed when he caught a glimpse of a fleeting comment.
"Have you watched the Pear Garden New Voice Online Music Competition? The judges' voices sound just like the voice of the rich BL girl."
He's very sensitive to the word "pear" now; the moment he sees it, his nerves are instantly on edge.
Ying Xiangyang scrolled through the bullet comments with the mouse, his gaze settling on this particular comment. He had a premonition, though it was absurd and almost impossible.
"Liyuan New Voices Online Music Competition"?
After finishing a game, Ying Xiangyang logged out and opened a webpage, searching for the name of the music competition.
The webpage redirects to an exceptionally popular live stream room with over 20 viewers. This is likely the most popular live stream room at that time, and even on the entire platform.
Inside the live stream, someone is passionately singing a freestyle song, interacting in real time with the comments on the screen.
"I want to hold you in my arms and let you feel my heartbeat and my breath. This feeling is like being poisoned and I can't resist it. Your beauty is suffocating me. If I could make a wish, I would hope that all girls would call me 'husband'."
Her voice was both raspy and sweet, instantly winning the hearts of female viewers and some male viewers.
The screen was flooded with comments saying "husband".
It seemed like just an ordinary music competition, nothing special, and he didn't find the person he was looking for. Just as Ying Xiangyang was about to leave the live stream, a familiar laugh came from the background, and Ying Xiangyang froze.
He quickly recognized it as Bai Li's laughter.
Before Ying Xiangyang could react, she watched as the person in the live stream called out "Husband" in a clear voice.
I originally wanted to listen again to confirm if it was Shirai herself.
Now that his "husband" has appeared, he doesn't need to confirm anymore.
This is a white pear.
Bai Li, who doesn't reply to messages or answer phone calls.
At this moment, she called someone else her husband in the live stream.
Ying Xiangyang was shocked. He felt a buzzing in his head, as if a bomb had exploded in his heart.
OK OK.
Although he didn't understand what was going on, he heard Bai Li call someone else "husband" with his own ears.
In that instant, his world collapsed.
