Li Bin looked at the fan chatter on the public screen; it was all meaningless.
Sun Yining, on the other hand, was alone, holding a headset, chatting idly with fans, also saying meaningless things.
Wen Lan was probably hiding nearby, watching. Li Bin suddenly wanted to sneak into Wen Lan's room right now and experience what it was like to participate in a live stream with a female anchor.
As the number of people online in the live stream surpassed 10,000, Li Bin suddenly felt a little bored.
This kind of boring and meaningless live stream—I really don't know why these people like to watch young people. There are so many boring people in this day and age.
Just as Li Bin was about to turn off his phone and open WeChat to chat with Yan Xiaoli and Liu Jiayu, a flash screen suddenly appeared on the public screen.
The exaggerated gift effect made Li Bin pause.
Principal Wang: Give the anchor a unicorn (8888 Douyin coins)!
Ceice: Wow, a rich guy tipped in!
Principal Wang: Give the streamer a helicopter (2999 Douyin coins)!
Principal Wang: Give the streamer a heart beam gun (1314 Douyin coins)!
Principal Wang: Give the streamer a heart beam gun (1314 Douyin coins)!
Principal Wang: Give the streamer a heart beam gun (1314 Douyin coins)!
Principal Wang: Give the streamer a heart beam gun (1314 Douyin coins)!
…The constant stream of gifts filled the entire screen with colorful gift reminders.
The popularity of the livestream room exploded, soaring from over 10,000 to over 30,000! And this popularity continued to grow rapidly thanks to the tips from the person named Principal Wang.
The comment section was completely blown up.
The chat box flickered so quickly that Li Bin couldn't even make out what anyone was saying.
Often, a sentence was immediately interrupted by the next one.
The situation didn't improve until the netizen named Principal Wang stopped sending gifts. By this time, the livestream had already attracted over 100,000 people! Sun Yining's expression wasn't great, and he remained very restrained. Initially, he'd even gone out of his way to thank Principal Wang, but later, he was simply yelling at him to stop sending gifts.
Zhayu: Holy shit, who's this? So awesome?
Bobo: Awesome! So many gifts! How much did it cost?!
Liu: So many gifts, it must have cost tens of thousands!
Youlan: Principal Wang? ??? Could it be the real Principal Wang? ?!!
Sixth Master: No doubt about it, it's Wang Sicong! Principal Wang has given Yining many gifts before.
Panpan: Wow! Is it really Principal Wang? My dream man! Principal Wang, please follow me!
Ai Chi Xiyangyang: Principal, Principal! I love you, Principal! I'm your fan! Look here, look here!
Meimeida: Principal! Please follow me! Gifts please!
...Watching the rapidly flashing conversations in the chat, Li Bin couldn't help but feel a bit bewildered.
It was actually Wang Sicong? Sun Yining had just started streaming when Wang Sicong came in, and right off the bat, he showered her with gifts worth tens of thousands of yuan.
The gift-giving scene had even Li Bin, a relative stranger to livestreaming or TikTok, getting his blood boiling.
With so many people licking his lips, Li Bin suddenly felt the urge to give it a try.
It's no wonder that those middle-aged men with a bit of money wouldn't spend on new clothes for themselves, or even smoke a 10-yuan cigarette, yet could spend tens of thousands of yuan on female streamers.
This kind of tipping—the kind that draws everyone's attention, draws everyone's licking and applauding, and makes the beautiful streamer endlessly thank and flatter—is truly intoxicating.
Principal Wang: Sun Yining, where are you now? At this point, Principal Wang finally spoke.
Li Bin noticed that Sun Yining's expression, which was being broadcast live, was becoming increasingly grim.
"Thank you, Principal Wang, for the gift. I'm flattered, but I still hope you won't spend any more money. I appreciate your kindness," Sun Yining said to Principal Wang, a bit embarrassed and forcing a smile.
Principal Wang: "Sun Yining, answer my question!" Principal Wang pressed again.
Seeing Sun Yining's awkward and fearful expression, the fans in the livestream gradually quieted down. Only a few occasionally joined in the fun, while the majority quietly watched the excitement.
"I'm with my friend. I won't tell you where exactly. After all, it's my friend's privacy, and mine too," Sun Yining replied, still forcing a smile.
Principal Wang: "Sun Yining, you're great! I'll give you another chance! You know my temper! Do you really think the internet has no memory? Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit!"
Seeing Principal Wang's threatening words in the chat room, the entire chat room erupted in flames once again.
Li Bin, who had been merely watching the fun, finally felt he could no longer bear it.
