"What? No way, forget it. People might think I'm Sister Wuwu's love rival, trying to be your mistress or something."
"Then be my girlfriend, Lan-baby! I've been crushing on you for ages!~"
"Oh, please, no thanks! If you try anything with me, I'll scream 'pervert!' My brother-in-law's probably right outside, and he'd rush in and… hehe… I'd let him punish you and straighten you out!"
"I'm just kidding! Geez, if I was gonna make a move on you, I would've done it ages ago. I'm not a creep—I just like women, that's all. We're the purest of sisters, and that'll never change."
"By the way, where's Sister Wuwu now? Isn't she coming to stream with you?"
"Wuwu went back to her hometown for a few days. She should be back soon, but if she comes here, there's probably no room at your place. It's such a hassle. I need to find a safe place to move to soon… Xiaolan, help me plug this in… yeah… there we go… I'm about to start streaming…"
"Yining, which platform do you stream on?"
"Lots of platforms, but mostly Douyin these days… Alright, I'm ready to start. Xiaolan, how's my vibe looking?"
"Hmm… not sexy enough. I see lots of girls on streaming platforms showing some cleavage…"
"You little brat, you're awful! My chest's too small—yours is bigger. Why don't you show some off?"
…After listening to their chat for a bit, Li Bin heard Sun Yining was about to start streaming. He left Wen Lan's door, hurried to the study, grabbed his phone, opened Douyin, and typed "Sun Yining" into the search bar.
To his surprise, the search didn't pull up Sun Yining.
But Douyin's algorithm recommended a user named "iiiis" with Sun Yining's photo as the profile picture.
Li Bin quickly tapped into Sun Yining's Douyin account, casually scrolling through her short video page.
The videos were all selfies of Sun Yining, who looked slightly better on-screen than in person but still very close to the real thing.
Li Bin figured Sun Yining was one of the more authentic influencers out there.
Still, it was a bit sad that her follower count was only 600,000.
On a massive platform like Douyin, 600,000 followers barely qualified as a small-time influencer.
The basic threshold for being considered an influencer on Douyin was at least a million followers.
But, given Sun Yining mentioned earning 300,000 to 400,000 yuan in tips from a single stream at her peak, her fans must be pretty generous.
At that moment, Li Bin noticed a red ring flashing around Sun Yining's profile picture.
Sun Yining had started streaming! Li Bin eagerly tapped her profile to enter her live stream.
She had just gone live, and the viewer count was low—only about 100 people. But the number was steadily climbing.
People were already sending her gifts.
Li Bin, who rarely used Douyin, didn't know the value of these gifts. Most were small things like hearts, flowers, or lollipops, with the occasional flashy, high-end gift popping up on the screen.
"Wuwu's not here today… Where'd Wuwu go? Oh… she went back to her hometown… Where am I now? I'm in a super secret spot… haha…" On-screen, Sun Yining chatted casually with her fans while brushing her sleek, glossy black hair.
In just a short time, Li Bin noticed the viewer count had jumped to over 500.
That was a pretty impressive growth rate.
Even more surprising, in that short span, her stream had racked up over 6,000 likes, and the gifts kept rolling in. Though most were cheap ones, Li Bin estimated they added up to a few hundred or even a thousand yuan.
"Being an influencer is such a freaking money-maker. Just blabbering for a bit in a stream earns more than a month's hard work for regular folks. What kind of world is this?" Li Bin's view of influencers remained pretty negative.
