Chapter 115 - 108: It’s Impossible Not to Be Excited

Chapter 115: Chapter 108: It’s Impossible Not to Be Excited

Meanwhile, Xiao Ran frowned, staring at the computer in front of him. He couldn’t help but zone out. ’Once some things start, there’s really no going back.’

Just like him and Yan Xici right now.

Their relationship had only just begun.

He just couldn’t bring himself to say such hurtful things to a girl whose eyes and heart were so full of him.

Nor could he accept the reality of losing her.

He thought, ’Maybe if Dad really gets to know Yan Xici, he might change his mind?’

In any case, there was basically no chance he would change his own feelings.

The oblivious girl sat in her hanging chair, watching the video she had just finished editing several times over with great care.

She hadn’t even posted it yet, but just watching it made her see pink, heart-shaped bubbles everywhere.

The more she watched, the more handsome she thought Xiao Ran was!

She licked her lips. For some reason, she just had a gut feeling that if she posted this video, everyone would love it!

After all, her viewers weren’t just guys; there were plenty of girls, too.

She opened up Little Broken Station, logged in, and then uploaded the video she had so carefully crafted. She even added a title: "This daily vlog is a little sweet~"

Today was the first day of their relationship.

Even though they were just "giving it a try," in her heart, it was as good as official.

She had decided on him long ago!

After posting the video, she slipped on her slippers and PITTER-PATTERED into the kitchen.

She took two cartons of milk from the fridge, poured them into mugs, and warmed them up. She’d heard that drinking milk improves sleep quality, and she hoped both of them would get a good night’s rest.

Carefully carrying the milk to Xiao Ran’s door, Yan Xici thought for a moment before knocking politely. Standing at the doorway, she asked, "Brother Xiao Ran, can I come in?"

Even though Brother Xiao Ran was her boyfriend now, this was his work time.

She couldn’t just disturb him whenever she wanted.

She didn’t know how to write novels, but she always felt it was a job that required inspiration and quiet, and absolutely could not be interrupted.

In reality, that wasn’t always the case. After all, as the industry evolved, many authors learned to write not just general outlines but also detailed ones. Those were meticulously planned out, and all one had to do was follow them while fleshing out the plot to make it more vivid and engaging.

Xiao Ran wasn’t writing anyway; he was just sitting at his desk, feeling annoyed.

Hearing the girl’s voice, he subconsciously turned around. "Of course, you can."

’This girl,’ he thought. ’Why is she still so cautious? It’s not like I’m doing anything shady. Why would she even need to ask?’

Permission granted, the girl PITTER-PATTERED inside in her little slippers.

She placed the warm milk on Xiao Ran’s desk, her face full of concern. "Brother Xiao Ran, drink this while it’s warm. If there’s nothing urgent, you should get to sleep early. Staying up late is bad for you."

’As a proper girlfriend, it’s my duty to make sure he stays healthy.’

The girl before him was so thoughtful and considerate. Her eyes revealed a sweet obedience, and they were filled with nothing but him. The sight nearly melted Xiao Ran’s heart.

He reached out, took her hand, and held it in his. His voice was gentle. "You don’t have to ask to come in from now on. This is our home."

At his words, a touched glimmer appeared in the girl’s bright eyes.

Her heart filled with warmth and sweetness.

’Brother Xiao Ran said this is our home.’

’A home that belongs only to us.’

She pressed her lips together, suddenly feeling like they were truly starting a life together.

It felt blissful and secure.

"I... I understand, Brother Xiao Ran. W-well, I’ll go to bed then!"

With a look of secret delight and shy embarrassment, the girl finished speaking and ran out.

Although sleeping with him was wonderful, Yan Xici knew that you could have too much of a good thing. Sleeping like that too often wasn’t good for the body.

Using his arm as a pillow once in a while was fine, but doing it day and night... she was afraid Brother Xiao Ran would end up with cervical spine problems one day!

Back in her room, she carefully arranged the plushies they had won during the day one by one on her bay windowsill. She admired them fondly for a long time before reluctantly drawing the curtains. Then, she lay down on her bed and picked up her phone to check the comments on Little Broken Station.

The video hadn’t been up for long, so there weren’t many comments yet, and the likes had just barely reached one hundred.

The girl hugged her Hello Kitty plushie and closed her eyes.

The next morning, Xiao Ran left early for work.

When Yan Xici woke up, it was already nine in the morning. She sat up groggily, rubbing her eyes with her small, fair hands.

Instead of getting out of bed right away, she scooted over, turned around, and grabbed her phone from the nightstand to open the video she had posted yesterday.

Just as she expected, after only one night, the video already had 80,000 likes. In another day or two, it might even hit 100,000!

There were also several thousand comments, and she had even received gifts. The results were even better than Yan Xici had anticipated.

The girl blinked, her expression gradually turning to excitement.

’This is my most-liked video in years!’

’If it’s always like this from now on, I can really make it as a vlogger!!!’

With that thought, her small, fair hand started scrolling slowly on her phone as she began to read the comments seriously.

After brewing overnight, her video’s comment section, just as she’d hoped, was now buzzing with activity.

Dongdaoxiwai: Does my Cici have a boyfriend?

IHaveASecretICantTell: Oh my god, oh my god, this handsome guy is amazing at claw machines! Can I rent him?

DontSpeak: Same question! 800 for rent isn’t too much!

Seeing this, Yan Xici wrinkled her delicate nose. ’Rent him? In your dreams!’

’I haven’t even had enough of him for myself, how could I possibly rent him out?’

After grumbling to herself for a moment, she continued scrolling down.

IAmXiaoXin: Aiya, damn, this is so awesome.

MiniXiaoHong: I wonder when she’ll do a livestream. This short clip is not enough at all.

IAmLaughing: Seriously not enough! Five minutes is way too short. Other streamers do livestreams!

CuteAndBrainless: I wanna ask, where did Cici get her bracelet? I love it.

Everyone was chiming in with their opinions under Yan Xici’s video. The scene was incredibly lively.

But most of them were demanding to rent Xiao Ran. After all, having a boyfriend who’s good at claw machines is a wish for many young girls.

Yesterday was just a whim, but looking at these numbers now, she suddenly felt that maybe, just maybe, streaming with Brother Xiao Ran was her secret to going viral!

Nowadays, a lot of young people love watching relationship vlogs, and she was one of them.

If she could post vlogs about their daily life as a couple, she would definitely get a ton of likes. And that way, maybe more people would read his books too.

It would be a win-win for both of them!

The more the girl on the bed thought about it, the more excited she became. She couldn’t help but flop onto her bed and roll around several times.

After her excitement calmed down a bit, she sat up again, casually smoothed her hair, and picked up the phone she had tossed on the bed.

Then, she eagerly pulled up her chat with "Xiao Ran Ah."

Her fair fingertips flew across the screen, typing out a line of text.

Yan Xici: Brother Xiao Ran, you’re famous!!!!

Yan Xici: [Screenshot]

Yan Xici: Look, 100,000 likes! This is the first time I’ve ever gotten so many likes!

She had been posting videos since her freshman year of college—for a full three years. One hundred thousand likes—a first in her entire life!

She felt like she was floating. This was amazing, truly amazing!
