Chapter 307 - 240: Continue Unboxing

The third package was very small and light.

"Do you know what I was thinking right before I opened this box? I was thinking, ’Could it be a little figurine made of ultra-light clay? Maybe a cartoon version of me.’ But when I saw what was inside, I couldn’t help but feel ashamed of that thought."

Ni Bingyan opened the cardboard box and took out a transparent plastic sleeve. Through the plastic, she could see a folded piece of paper inside.

The words "Donation Certificate" were written in large characters, clearly visible to the fans through the livestream camera.

"Compared to my fans, I’m still thinking way too small! Seriously, you guys have given me so many surprises today!"

Ni Bingyan chuckled as she spoke, opening the plastic sleeve.

Inside, besides a photocopy of the donation certificate, was a handwritten letter. The handwriting was childish, and many characters were replaced with Pinyin.

"This letter was written by a child. To praise this sweet, kind-hearted little treasure, I’ve decided to read it out loud."

The stream chat filled with voices of approval, so Ni Bingyan faced the camera and began to read the letter:

"Dear Sister Bingbing,

Hello!

My name is Li Yichen, and I’m eight and a half years old.

After school yesterday, I overheard two big sisters on the subway talking about charity. I didn’t know what charity meant, so I asked my mom.

My mom told me that charity is about helping people who are having a tough time get through their difficulties, in any way you can.

She also told me about a celebrity she really likes who is always doing good deeds like that. She told me to learn from you. I thought about it all night and decided to donate the New Year’s money I’ve saved to kids who don’t have money to buy books.

My mom said that when I grow up, I’ll definitely become an amazing person just like you. I think so, too."

The letter wasn’t long, and the formatting wasn’t perfect, but Ni Bingyan read it over and over, a smile never leaving her face.

"Li Yichen, if you’re watching the stream, please remember what Sister Bingbing is telling you: You can definitely become an even more amazing person than me! Because our era has many giants, and I’m just a tiny speck of dust in the crowd. But you, you are growing up on the shoulders of giants! So, you must be full of confidence!"

[Ahhh! She’s so heartwarming!]

[Bingbao, don’t sell yourself short! You’re amazing too!]

[I wish we could have an unboxing like this every day! My sweet Little Ice Candy, you should stop acting and just stay home and open packages! We’ll send you more!]

...

After giving the kid a pep talk, Ni Bingyan glanced at the comment section. Seeing that people were getting addicted to watching her unbox things, she quickly tried to stop them.

"Please don’t send me any more things. It was already a struggle just to carry all of today’s packages home. If you guys keep sending me stuff with all your might, I’ll run out of space in my house."

She picked up the heaviest box and was about to open it, but then she had another thought and said,

"Actually, I’d prefer it if you wrote me letters. If you like watching unboxing streams, I could do a livestream where I open and read letters instead. As long as you guys are okay with it, we can arrange it."

As she said this, she realized it was a very feasible idea and elaborated,

"We could make it an annual event. We’ll set a theme, and you can all write about that theme. That way, the letters won’t all be the same, and it won’t be boring when I read them."

She tore open the box in a couple of swift motions. Seeing the comments flooding the chat like crazy, Ni Bingyan said,

"Since you’re all so interested, I’ll post on Weibo right now. Go leave a comment with what you think would be an interesting topic. The theme with the most likes will be our letter theme for this year. Once you’ve written your letters, you can send them directly to the company, and I’ll do a livestream when I’m on break."

She had always been a person of action. Once her mind was made up, she immediately sent out the Weibo post.

Her fans were ecstatic and rushed to leave comments.

With the matter settled, the fans were satisfied, and so was Ni Bingyan.

’Having your private letter read in public? That’s total social suicide. Most people couldn’t handle that. I’m sure no one will write to me after this, which means no one will send me stuff anymore. I’m such an unassuming little genius, hahaha!’

Pleased with herself, Ni Bingyan opened the box with a huge smile.

"This was the heaviest box. I imagined countless possibilities, but I never expected this to be inside."

Holding back her laughter, Ni Bingyan pulled a thick stack of test papers out of the box.

After a quick glance at the letter included in the box, Ni Bingyan put the papers aside and explained to everyone,

"This fan plans to study abroad and is currently preparing for the IELTS exam. But she’s run into a big problem—she’s too lazy to do the practice tests.

"So now she’s sent me an identical set, saying that just the thought of me possibly doing the same test papers as her will give her all the motivation she needs."

Ni Bingyan was thrilled at the prospect of helping someone advance their academic goals.

"To this friend, if you’re watching the stream right now, please connect with me. Tell me which day you plan to take the test, and I’ll take the same exam on the same day. Do you think that would be even more effective as motivation?"

The fans in the stream chat went wild!

#NiBingyanTakesIELTSWithFan#

The topic’s popularity skyrocketed!

The fan happened to be there. When she heard this, she immediately applied for a voice call with trembling hands and excitedly told her when she planned to take the test.

Ni Bingyan carefully noted the date. In front of millions of viewers, she made a pact with the fan to take the IELTS exam together. Then, she grabbed another package and tore it open in a few motions.

"Alright, let’s see what’s in the fifth package."

Opening the wrapping inside the box, Ni Bingyan held up a piece of black fabric, a look of confusion on her face.

"What is this? A bag? But it seems to have holes in it."

Ni Bingyan looked at it again and again, an expression of horror creeping onto her face.

"I’ve always been a law-abiding citizen—I don’t even evade taxes! Why would someone send me this?"

Do bank robbers even use this kind of gear anymore?

[I’m dying laughing!]

[Hahaha!]

[Our Bingbao is just too cute~]

[That’s a facekini! A facekini, a facekini! It’s for sun protection when you go fishing! Not for you to wear while doing bad things!]

The person who sent the gift was about to have a breakdown! They kept spamming the chat.

When in doubt, check the comments section; you’ll always find an answer.

"A facekini? Does this really work for sun protection?"

Ni Bingyan was even more confused.

[It’s true! Absolutely! I’m from a coastal city, and all my aunts and female relatives use these every summer! I’m definitely not lying to you!]

"Really? It works that well?"

[Yeah! This one has a shoulder cover, so it can protect you from mosquitoes too!]

Her interest piqued, Ni Bingyan started to stretch it open to pull over her head.

She was already imagining how awesome it would be to wear this while fishing in the summer, if it was breathable and offered good sun protection.

No matter how beautiful someone is, they won’t look good wearing one of these things. Seeing that she was about to try it on in front of everyone, the fans went wild with excitement!

Even facekini sellers, directed there by the algorithm, immediately changed their ads to feature "Ni Bingyan’s Style."

Just then, Ni Bingyan’s phone rang.

The caller was Wei Shuojie.

’I’m in the middle of a livestream, it’s not convenient to answer the phone!’

Ni Bingyan was about to hang up, but the incoming call made the livestream lag for a moment.

And she accidentally answered it.

’Crap, I’m done for!’
