Chapter 258: Chapter 256: Starting a Livestream Late at Night

Meng Xiaoyi’s face flushed red from Xu Jiali’s scolding. She had targeted Song Jiayan precisely because she thought his personality would be the easiest to manipulate.

Song Jiayan was quiet, reserved, and shy. Someone like that was sure to sympathize with her plight. Maybe during the rest of the show’s recording, Song Jiayan would even speak up for her. But she never expected Xu Jiali to get up in the middle of the night to catch her in the act.

’Is she fucking crazy?’

"Xu Jiali! Who do you think you are to Song Jiayan? What does my business with him have to do with you? You’re so eager to stick your nose in other people’s business because you want to control him, don’t you! You see he’s about to get famous, and you can’t stand it, can you? Heh."

Seeing Song Jiayan run back to Xu Jiali’s side, Meng Xiaoyi grew even more furious!

’You spineless good-for-nothing!’

"Song Jiayan, you’re a grown man! How can you just blindly believe everything she says? If the netizens find out about this, your fans will definitely have something to say about it!"

After lecturing Xu Jiali, Meng Xiaoyi turned on Song Jiayan.

Xu Jiali didn’t say anything, turning to look at Song Jiayan instead.

"Xu Jiali and I are both with Doctor Wen," Song Jiayan explained. Seeming to feel that wasn’t enough, he added, "I’m with Xu Jiali, too."

Song Jiayan blushed a little after saying this.

’Those words might have been ambiguous, but with Meng Xiaoyi acting like this, let her misunderstand it all she wants!’

’Just stop bothering me.’

’I’m just shy, not an idiot.’

Xu Jiali shot a triumphant look at Meng Xiaoyi. "Hear that? See that? Stay away from our Jiayan from now on!"

The commotion between Meng Xiaoyi and Xu Jiali naturally woke up the others who were sleeping.

A few simple lights had been placed around by the production crew. Xie Fu Yao was now sitting up on his mat, looking in their direction.

"Xiao Yi, are they bullying you?"

Hearing this, Xu Jiali burst out laughing. "Xie Fu Yao, it looks like your teammate doesn’t think much of you anymore. She’s over here trying to pull our Song Jiayan onto her side."

Meng Xiaoyi immediately grew anxious. "Don’t be ridiculous, I didn’t mean anything like that!"

"Waking Song Jiayan up in the middle of the night to chat, pouring out your woes and grievances... if you didn’t mean anything by it, then what did you mean? Aren’t you always going on about ’Brother Xie’ this and ’Brother Xie’ that? How come we don’t see you waking up your Brother Xie for a midnight chat?"

Wen Ying sat in her spot without a word. Zhao Qi had also woken up and now walked over.

He sized up Meng Xiaoyi. "Tsk tsk, I never would have guessed. You’ve really got a lot of schemes, don’t you? Honestly, you’re not a good match for Song Jiayan. You should just stop wasting your time. You two aren’t the same type."

After being told off by Xu Jiali and then Zhao Qi, all while being stared at by Xie Fu Yao...

Meng Xiaoyi couldn’t hold it in any longer and started to cry.

"Why is everyone ganging up on me? I’m just here to film a show. Don’t I have the right to make friends? Why do you all treat me like an enemy? We’re not even filming right now, so why can’t I talk to Song Jiayan? Is it a crime that I like his song, ’Dispelling Sorrow’?"

When a girl cries, guys might start to feel guilty.

But to deal with a girl like this, you really need another girl!

"Xu Jiali, come here. I’m going to start a livestream. Let’s give our ’wronged’ Meng Xiaoyi a chance to show her face."

Hearing Wen Ying’s words, Xu Jiali came scurrying over at once.

Meng Xiaoyi froze when she heard that.

’You’re going to livestream this late at night?’

’Do you even know what time it is? And you’re livestreaming?’

’Who do you think you are? You think anyone’s going to watch you livestream in the middle of the night?’

’You think this is enough to scare me?’

FLASH!

A powerful beam of light suddenly exploded overhead, illuminating the entire area as bright as day.

Xu Jiali’s eyes widened as she stared at Wen Ying. "Sister Yingying, what kind of high-tech is this?"

"A drone? That’s a secret~ But yes, it’s definitely very high-tech."

At Wen Ying’s mental command, the drone circled once over their heads before soaring high into the sky.

Meng Xiaoyi thought Wen Ying was just bluffing. ’As if people these days don’t know what a drone looks like.’

"My screen is also controlled by the drone, so I don’t need a phone to stream. But everyone can log in on their own phones and search for my stream to join."

Wen Ying said this pointedly to Meng Xiaoyi and the others.

Not one to be taken for a fool, Meng Xiaoyi actually took out her phone, logged into the Shark Platform, and searched for Wen Ying’s livestream channel.

[Holy crap! Staying up late tonight was worth it! Doctor Wen is actually live!!!]

[Why didn’t you announce the stream ahead of time! Good thing I just finished watching some girl’s dance stream! Doctor Wen, we missed you!]

[Doctor Wen, what’s the stream today? Are we seeing ghosts again?]

[Streaming this late at night... besides seeing ghosts, I can’t imagine what else it could be. How about you show us the world down below, Doctor Wen?]

Meng Xiaoyi watched as more than five thousand people instantly flooded the stream, and her vision swam!

This was surreal!

It was two o’clock in the morning!

Not eleven, not twelve, not even one!

It was two o’clock!

How could she get this much traffic just by going live?

Damn it!

The viewer count was still shooting up!

[We’ve only been able to see Doctor Wen on the reality show lately, I’ve really missed our stream. When’s the next giveaway, Doctor Wen?]

Meng Xiaoyi’s face turned deathly pale.

The viewer count had passed ten thousand!

Xie Fu Yao stared grimly at his phone. He had naturally seen the numbers as well, but he remained silent, his thoughts unreadable.

"Holy shit! Doctor Wen, you’re incredible! You’ve been live for less than two minutes and you already have over ten thousand viewers?"

Zhao Qi couldn’t help himself and cursed out loud.

And then, he clearly heard his own voice coming from the stream and saw his own face appear on the screen.

It wasn’t just him; Song Jiayan, Xu Jiali, Xie Fu Yao, and Meng Xiaoyi were all there, too!

The clarity of this drone’s camera was terrifying!

’When this show is over, I have to ask Doctor Wen what kind of high-tech this is. I’ve got to get one for myself!’

[This bro is Zhao Qi, right? He curses a lot, but other than that, he’s a good dude. He knows to stick close to our Doctor Wen. A smart one!]

[Song Jiayan’s music is so good! When is he going to record it? Does he have any other songs? I really want to hear more!]

[Xu Jiali, look at me, look at me! I’m your biggest fanboy! I love you!]

[Why is Meng Xiaoyi standing there like an idiot???]

[Is Xie Fu Yao trying to look all deep and mysterious? On this stream, the people on Doctor Wen’s side are definitely the best-looking!]

Everyone was watching the stream’s live comments, so of course they all saw these messages.

"Good evening, and welcome to Doctor Wen’s Clinic livestream. It’s been a while," Wen Ying finally said, greeting her audience.

The number of live viewers broke twenty thousand!

"Originally, I was going to use today’s stream to introduce our competitors on this show," Wen Ying began. As soon as the words were out, Meng Xiaoyi’s heart clenched. ’Is she going to drag my name through the mud?’

"But seeing as you’re all not interested, let’s switch to something else. I’m not that interested either, to be honest."

Meng Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Yingying, what do they mean when they talk about ’seeing ghosts’?" Xu Jiali couldn’t help but ask, having seen that pop up in the comments the most.
