Li Bin watched the chat on the public screen, filled with meaningless drivel from fans.
Sun Yining, wearing a headset, was casually chatting with her fans, saying equally trivial things.
Wen Lan was probably watching from the side, and Li Bin suddenly wished he could sneak into her room to experience what it's like to be part of a female streamer's live broadcast.
As the live stream's viewer count broke 10,000, Li Bin started to find it boring.
He couldn't understand why people were so into these pointless, fluff-filled streams. In this day and age, there were just too many bored people.
Just as Li Bin was about to close the app and hit up Yan Xiaoli or Liu Jiayu on WeChat for some fun, a flashy gift effect popped up on the screen.
The extravagant gift animation made Li Bin pause.
Principal Wang: Gifts streamer a Unicorn (8888 Douyin coins)!
ceice: Whoa, a big spender!
Principal Wang: Gifts streamer a Helicopter (2999 Douyin coins)!
Principal Wang: Gifts streamer a Love Ray Gun (1314 Douyin coins)!
Principal Wang: Gifts streamer a Love Ray Gun (1314 Douyin coins)!
Principal Wang: Gifts streamer a Love Ray Gun (1314 Douyin coins)!
…The flurry of gifts filled the screen with colorful notifications.
The stream's popularity exploded, jumping from just over 10,000 viewers to over 30,000, and it kept climbing with each gift from the user named Principal Wang.
The comment section went wild.
The chat scrolled so fast Li Bin could barely read what people were saying.
Messages were instantly buried by new ones.
Things only calmed down slightly when Principal Wang stopped sending gifts.
By then, the stream had over 100,000 viewers! But Sun Yining's expression wasn't great, and she stayed restrained. At first, she thanked Principal Wang, but later she outright asked him to stop sending gifts.
FishBlaster: Damn, who's this? So badass?
Bobo: Insane! So many gifts! How much did that cost?!
Flow: Those gifts must've cost tens of thousands, right?
OrchidGlow: Principal Wang???? Could it really be the Principal Wang??!!
SixthMaster: No doubt about it, it's Wang Sicong! He's sent Yining tons of gifts before.
Panpan: Wow, really Principal Wang? My dream guy! Follow me, Principal Wang!
LoveGreySheep: Principal! I love you! I'm your fan! Look over here!
PrettyMe: Principal! Follow me! Send me gifts!
…Watching the chat scroll frantically, Li Bin was a bit stunned.
It was really Wang Sicong? Sun Yining had just started streaming, and Wang Sicong jumped in, dropping tens of thousands in gifts right off the bat.
The spectacle of those gifts got even Li Bin, who rarely messed with live streams or Douyin, a bit hyped up.
With so many people fawning over him, Li Bin suddenly felt the urge to join in.
No wonder middle-aged men who wouldn't spend a dime on new clothes or smoked cheap 10-yuan cigarettes would drop thousands on female streamers. The rush of getting attention, having everyone worship you, and hearing the streamer thank you profusely was addictive.
Principal Wang: Sun Yining, where are you right now? Finally, Principal Wang spoke up.
Li Bin saw Sun Yining's face grow increasingly grim as she streamed.
"Thank you for the gifts, Principal Wang, I'm flattered, but I really hope you won't spend any more. I appreciate the thought." Sun Yining forced an awkward smile, addressing Principal Wang.
Principal Wang: Sun Yining, answer my question! Principal Wang pressed again.
Seeing Sun Yining's embarrassed and slightly scared expression, the fans in the stream quieted down. Only a few chimed in for the drama, while most watched silently.
"I'm at a friend's place. I won't say exactly where—it's my friend's privacy and mine too, haha." Sun Yining kept up a forced smile as she answered.
Principal Wang: Sun Yining, you've got some nerve. I'm giving you one last chance! You know my temper! You really think the internet forgets? Don't make me force you!
Seeing Principal Wang's threatening words in the chat, the entire comment section exploded again.
Li Bin, who had been watching the drama unfold with a casual attitude, started to feel like this was going too far.
