The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 259 - 257: Showing Off the Thank You Gift

Chapter 259 -257: Showing Off the Thank You Gift

Planet xj7342, Xiao He’s fans, Sun Yu’s home.

Sun Yu was a full-time mom with three school-aged children, and Little River Live’s streaming time was her favorite part of the day.

Because her children also really liked the broadcast.

The kids, all in their adolescence, normally didn’t have much to talk to her about, but lately, they’d grown closer again thanks to Little River Live, a topic they all shared.

And ever since she started watching Little River Live, her cooking skills had skyrocketed, much to her husband’s delight.

Sun Yu felt like Little River Live was a sort of salvation that had entered her life.

It had made her home more harmonious, more tightly knit.

So now, she was undoubtedly a die-hard fan of Little River Live.

That day, after opening who knows how many packages, Sun Yu finally got to the Little River Live parcel.

When she opened it, she was greeted by a wooden, natural-colored, square box that was neither small nor light when she hugged it.

Sun Yu placed the box on the coffee table, and on top of it were four big characters: Little River Live, and underneath, a line of smaller text: “Thank you for your support and love.”

Just from that single line of text, Sun Yu felt a different kind of vibe, a sense of formal respect.

In fact, Sun Yu wasn’t wrong in her feeling—those few characters were handwritten by Nian Shutong, and each box was handled personally by him.

As she opened the box, she found it divided into four sealed compartments.

Sun Yu, somewhat indecisive, finally chose to start with the top right compartment.

The compartment opened to reveal deep brown strips speckled with white granules that smelled slightly sweet.

Sun Yu looked at the contents of the box, Should I try one?

Hmm, just one won’t hurt.

She picked up a strip of the snack and popped it into her mouth.

Crunchy, sweet.

The overwhelming sensation was wanting another after finishing the first.

Maybe just one more… there were so many, after all?

And like that, one after another, yet another.

By the time Sun Yu finally managed to restrain herself, there were only four left.

That was good—exactly one for each person.

When Sun Yu placed the lid back on the box, she noticed the name of the item, “Fruit Strips.”

She resealed the lid and went on to the remaining three compartments.

The second one held squid strips.

Just try one, just try one!

Not bad, there were a few more left compared to the Fruit Strips.

The third compartment, crispy little fish.

Just one! Only one allowed!

Sun Yu didn’t know how she did it but managed to eat just one, quickly closing the lid—no more temptations!

The last one, when opened: yellow and white popcorn.

After having one, she didn’t put the lid back.

There were so many—eating a few wouldn’t matter.

A few more, then a few more again.

“No more eating!”

Sun Yu struggled to put the lid back, but in the second before she completed the task, she grabbed one more.

“The last one.”

Satisfied yet reluctant, she popped the final piece of popcorn into her mouth and, with determination, picked up the outer lid to seal the box.

There we go, now she could go about her business with peace of mind.

Sun Yu got up to tidy up the house, to prepare the evening’s meal.

Their family mainly ate seafood—it was cheap and delicious.

However, she was a bit distracted, her eyes occasionally drifting to the box on the coffee table.

She couldn’t shake the feeling that the box was alive somehow, continuously waving its imaginary hands and saying, “Come on over! Come on over!”

Sun Yu struggled to avert her gaze, constantly reminding herself, “You’re a mother, you’ve got to leave something for the kids.”

As for the kids’ dad, she wasn’t even thinking about him right now.

She didn’t know how she’d gotten through the afternoon, usually her time at home flew by, but today it felt excruciatingly slow.

Finally, when the three kids got out of school, she ushered them straight to the coffee table.

“This is a gift from Little River Live. Try to leave one stick for your dad.”

Sun Yu said only this and then dashed into the kitchen.

The three children, not quite understanding, looked at their mother’s retreating back, exchanged glances, and started to open the box.

After opening the box, they suddenly got it.

Who could resist?

Leaving one stick for their dad was not very likely, let’s see if they could at least leave one for him.

Scenes like this were happening in too many homes.

Some simply snuck their share, some succeeded, but naturally, there were failures.

If the fail was a younger family member, they couldn’t escape a round of family discipline.

If it was an elder, they’d just have to endure a few nagging comments from the younger ones.

When most of the gift had been eaten, Star Network was flooded with people showing off their presents.

All of this started with He Xinchun.

He had also been found by Liu Cheng, but Liu Cheng didn’t know he really was He Xinchun and just thought of him as an ordinary netizen.

So, when He Xinchun actually posted his gift on Star Blog on Star Network, Liu Cheng finally realized he was a big shot.

Star Blog, He Xinchun’s Star Blog.

He Xinchun: Looks like I can’t hide the fact that I’m a die-hard fan of Little River Live anymore! But I want to ask Mr. Xiao He, can I get another one of these gift boxes?

[Oh my god, is my Chunchun really a fan of Little River Live?]

[I once scolded someone for pretending to be my Chunchun.]

[It’s over, looks like it really was Chunchun.]

[Who would use their real name to watch live streams!]

[Turns out, Chunchun would dare to.]

[This is called hiding in plain sight but still not being believed.]

[True to a graduate of Imperial University, playing strategic games?]

[Am I the only one envious and wants that box?]

[I’m not envious because I have one too. Like Chunchun, I’m also a die-hard fan of Mr. Xiao He.]

[Why does Chunchun still have time to take photos? I devoured everything the moment I got it.]

[Ha ha ha ha ha! Too real, the comment above. If it weren’t for the sheer force of maternal love, I wouldn’t even know what was in the box!]

Slowly, the topic “Why You Could Resist Eating This” climbed a bit on the trending list, although it wasn’t the hottest, it did make the top ten.

Netizens behind started to show off the gifts they received at home, but some faced skepticism.

[These empty boxes you’re showing off are called gifts?]

[I suspect you’re faking it.]

[I’m real!]

[No, no, no! I don’t believe it! If you’re able, show us some food!]

[Here I am, the fruit crunch is sweet and crispy, the squid strips are tough and tasty, the crispy fish crunch down to the bone, and you can’t stop eating the popcorn once you start.]

[Get lost! Who told you to say that, show us real proof if you can!]

Online, everyone was having more and more fun.

Those who didn’t believe were also fans; it wasn’t that they didn’t believe, they just couldn’t believe they didn’t have it themselves.

It’s all the admin’s fault! Why didn’t they contact me?

I too can go through fire and water for Little River Live.

While Star Network was buzzing with activity, on the forums of Little River Live and its videos, a message was posted.

“Gift boxes will be sold in the store, limited quantity, special pricing.”
