"Hey, are you still there?"
Lin Shuo spoke slowly.
They talked for quite a while.
The boy on the video call slowly replied with an "Mm".
From his voice.
You can hear a great deal of despondency in his voice.
It must be because the girl who just called spoke too harshly.
Lin Shuo pondered for a long time.
He asked:
"Bro, I want to ask, what's your purpose in asking me to connect on video?"
"Of course I want to get back together with my girlfriend!" the guy blurted out without thinking.
"Well, you've already tried, haven't you? Even if the outcome wasn't ideal," Lin Shuo comforted him.
"Yes, I've already tried to win him back... but I'm still so unwilling to give up." The boy's voice was already trembling with tears as he said this.
Hearing what the boy said...
The viewers in the live stream were all disappointed and frustrated.
"Dude, they've already said that. They're calling you a dog, why don't you tease them? They're practically calling you a dog, and you're still shamelessly sticking your nose in there!"
"Can't you have some backbone? You're such a good person. Even if you break up, you'll definitely meet someone better later."
"I'm really fed up. Can't you be a little stronger and take it easy?"
I glanced at the comments.
Lin Shuo continued, "It's not just about love; life is like that too. Not everyone and everything has a happy ending. This isn't a novel or a movie."
Sometimes, as long as you've tried your best and had a clear conscience, that's enough.
after that.
Lin Shuo added:
"From our video call just now, I could tell that you must be a very good person in real life."
There's no need to cry over spilled milk, so please look ahead.
As Lin Shuo finished speaking.
The number of comments in the live stream suddenly surged.
"The streamer has finally shown some humanity; that's a decent thing to say."
"I'm starting to regret it now. I shouldn't have called him a clown. He just hasn't met the right person yet."
"Yes, his love is passionate for everyone, so the boy shouldn't be the one who's sad."
"She should be the one who feels bad, because she lost someone who only had eyes for her."
Listening to Lin Shuo's voice in my ear.
The live stream chat was filled with encouraging comments from the viewers.
The boy sniffed and said calmly, "Thank you everyone, thank you host. I think I understand. I will look forward."
Lin Shuo nodded and said, "Some roads you can look back on, but you can't go back on them, understand?"
He closed his mouth.
The boy was taken aback and asked, puzzled, "Huh? What does that mean?"
He doesn't understand.
However, there were some sensible people in the live stream.
They directly stated the stakes involved.
"The host is quite something. What the host means is that this girl might come back and want to get back together."
If that day ever comes, I hope the boy will firmly refuse.
"The girl is coming back wanting to get back together? Why is that? If she wants to get back together, shouldn't they do it now? Why are they dragging it out?"
"Upstairs, you look quite young. This kind of thing is very common. I've encountered several of these things in real life myself."
"My ex-wife is a case in point. She was tricked into divorcing me by her best friend. Later, she was scammed out of money and came back to me, saying that she would forgive and forget for the sake of the children."
"My ex-boyfriend was the same. He was two-timing me while we were dating. When I found out, I broke up with him immediately."
"Having no better options, and unable to find anyone as good as me, they came back all over the place, crying and begging for my forgiveness."
The boy who was on the live stream didn't understand at first.
But then I saw the comments section.
I understood immediately.
So he slowly said, "Okay, thank you, host?"
"Okay, then I'll go next." Lin Shuo nodded and then disconnected the line.
〔bite…〕
[Congratulations, host, for successfully rescuing a boy caught in a whirlpool of emotions.]
[Current task progress: 20%]
Listening to the mechanical synthesized voice in my ears.
Lin Shuo picked up the water glass and took a small sip.
I glanced at the data in the live stream.
3500 online.
"So many people?" Lin Shuo murmured twice.
During his last live stream, the highest number of viewers was only 4000, and it was only for a short while and the viewership was unstable.
But now.
The number of online users has stabilized at 3500.
He had only been broadcasting for a short while.
Currently, I've only connected with one person via live stream.
I'll connect with a few more people on voice chat later.
That means there must be over 10,000 people online.
Seeing Lin Shuo in a daze.
The audience began to urge them on.
"Host, host, hurry up and move on to the next person!"
"Yeah, this is so interesting. I've never seen this type of live stream before. It's so much fun, wow."
"Me! Me! Me! Me! I sent gifts!"
"I sent you a heart-shaped bunny as a gift, streamer!"
"I swiped the sports car!"
I glanced at the comments in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Lin Shuo immediately started the next person to connect via voice chat.
A live stream session has just ended.
Logically speaking...
You should take a break now.
Let's chat.
But that would definitely cause people to fall.
People are drawn to your emotional connection during the live stream.
You don't connect via voice chat, you just go and have awkward conversations.
In today's society...
Everyone's time is precious.
No one will be foolish enough to wait for you forever.
So Lin Shuo struck while the iron was hot.
They immediately started the next person to connect via live stream.
Double-click the mouse.
A soft female voice came from over.
"Hello...?"
I heard a female voice on the live stream.
Lin Shuo smiled in response and then said, "Hello, miss, what can I do for you?"
"Here's the thing, I'm thinking of what to give my boyfriend for his birthday, but I don't know what to get him, so I wanted to ask for your opinion, host."
The young woman said calmly.
"Oh, you're giving me something..." Hearing this, Lin Shuo pondered for a moment, then asked, "Does your boyfriend like anything?"
"He often goes out drinking with friends and occasionally smokes a couple of cigarettes, but he's not a heavy smoker. As for other things, I don't think that's all."
As the young lady finished speaking.
Everyone in the live stream was incredibly envious.
"Wow, this guy is so lucky! His girlfriend even asked someone else to ask before giving him a gift, just in case it wasn't good. I wish I had a girlfriend like that."
"It makes me so upset. I want to stand on the 28th floor and see whose head is harder than the concrete floor."
"That's not called a contest of who's tougher, that's fucking jumping off a building!"
"Wishing him a long and healthy life. As for what to give him, I think a lighter would be better, since he's addicted to cigarettes, isn't he?"
"Lighters are so outdated, they're so easy to steal."
"If you ask me, why not send a bouquet of flowers? There's a saying that goes, 'The only time a boy receives flowers is at a funeral.'"
Looking at the various random suggestions in the comments section.
Lin Shuo waved his hand and continued:
"If you're giving your boyfriend a gift, it should either be meaningful or practical."
Let me give you an example. If you gave him computer peripherals, wouldn't he think of you every time he plays games?
Hearing Lin Shuo's words.
Everyone quickly realized what was happening.
"You know what, what the streamer said actually makes a lot of sense."
"Exactly, exactly. When giving gifts to boys, they should either be memorable or practical."
"Okay, I understand, thank you, streamer," the young woman said, expressing her gratitude.
"Do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll move on to the next one?" Lin Shuo said gently.
"There's one more..."
The young woman hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.
