After the stream finished on Friday night, maybe it was because the interaction between Lin Jin and Xia Tian was genuinely entertaining, or maybe it was because Lin Jin's crossdressing looked stunningly beautiful, Lin Jin’s livestream channel had somehow reached nearly two hundred followers by the end.
Even though there was only a day and a half left until the end of the task and these follower numbers were practically useless, Lin Jin still felt a growing sense of accomplishment as he watched the follower count rise.
Maybe livestreaming wasn’t so bad after all?
It was past ten when they finished streaming. He looked visibly tired after reading chat and answering questions all day. Even though he brushed off most questions with an “I don’t know” or “no comment”.
“I’m heading back" Xia Tian lazily stretched and stood up. He left his chair in Lin Jin’s room and turned to leave.
“The stream starts tomorrow at noon and goes until the day after tomorrow at noon. Get some extra sleep when you go back so you don't end up dozing off" Lin Jin propped his cheek up with one hand and reminded Xia Tian “If the platform doesn’t offer a contract after tomorrow's stream, then we'll stop streaming in the future.”
“A contract?” Xia Tian yawned and dug at his ear with his pinky as he mocked, “You just started streaming and you’re already thinking about signing a contract.”
“If you don’t make money, why bother streaming? Isn’t it just a waste of time?”
Watching Xia Tian leave with his white cat in his arms, Lin Jin also stretched and posted a photo of today’s crossdress on Weibo. He then collapsed onto his bed.
Although he had only streamed for a few hours, Lin Jin wasn’t just sitting back and reading comments like Xia Tian. He was continuously playing games while also interacting with the viewers and Xia Tian to create an engaging livestream. As a result, he was now so tired he started doubting his life choices.
Lin Jin used to be the kind of young person who could game all night. But since he started feminizing, he felt like his endurance was getting worse and worse. Normally, just two or three rounds of gaming would leave him feeling sore and tired, but today he had played five rounds. Even now, he still felt his hands were trembling and his back aching.
Maybe it was really time to start working out?
He should just do it. Lin Jin was never one to procrastinate something for another day. So he stood up and walked barefoot to the door. Glancing at the shoes he had on the shoe rack, he hesitated.
His shoes were just casual shoes, bought back in the senior year of highschool when he went shopping at a mall with a girl. Of course, it was the super run down type of mall. These shoes were only 30 yuan, and he even got a free pair of socks.
Such cheap shoes obviously weren’t of good quality. After wearing it for a year, they were now extremely worn out, especially at the tips. Though it was not to the point where his toes were exposed, but the fabric was noticeably torn.
“Hmm, the shoes are damaged to this degree, I think it’s better to not exercise?” Lin Jin muttered to himself before flopping back onto his bed, “The platform shoes that the black cat gave me aren’t suitable for exercising in either, so…”
So it was better to now exercise!
Contentedly lying on his bed and playing with Braised Pork, Lin Jin pushed aside his fleeting thought of exercising and started to brainstorm about tomorrow’s noon livestream, thinking of how he could make it entertaining while still being lazy.
Maybe he should buy some fun local two player games? Playing Dota all day for twenty four hours would be just unbearable.
As for why buy rather than using pirated versions, Lin Jin simply disliked giving the chat fuel to spout nonsense about.
Living in a rental was not particularly enjoyable for Lin Jin. Aside from the first two days where he thought it being quieter than the school dormitory was quite nice, he now found it too hard to sleep in the silence.
Especially since someone had once installed hidden cameras in this rental room. This caused Lin Jin to feel even more uneasy living alone.
Eh, having one person in this place was not comfortable at all.
Back when Lin Jin lived in the school dormitory, he'd usually be in bed and asleep by around nine o'clock, which was when he slept most comfortably. But now, no matter what, he just couldn't fall asleep.
Regardless of what he thought about, he couldn’t help but recall that this room had once had hidden cameras installed, making him feel like he was constantly being watched.
“Lin Jin, open the door.”
After lying in bed unable to sleep for half an hour, Lin Jin was startled by a knock at the door. He got up and opened the door for Xia Tian.
“What’s wrong? It’s so late.” Lin Jin looked at Xia Tian, who had left just over half an hour ago but had now returned, “Is there something urgent?”
“The police sent a message.” Xia Tian took out his phone, switched to the messages app, and handed it to Lin Jin, “They called me, then just sent a text.”
“Hmm.”
Lin Jin took the phone and carefully read the text. The text message was similar to a police report sent to Xia Tian before. The main point was: the cameras had been installed by a local resident, nearly all rental rooms around the school had hidden cameras install, though they’re now all removed with the person responsible arrested.
Well, it sounded like a great thing.
But didn’t the black cat say it was the landlord who did it?
Lin Jin looked up and asked Xia Tian, “It wasn’t the landlord?”
“It’s related to the landlord.” Xia Tian frowned, slightly displeased, “It was the landlord’s nephew who was responsible for installing the cameras here. Since he wasn’t experienced, the placement was off, but it’s not really directly related to the landlord.”
So, it was a group involved?
“Why would they install hidden cameras? Surely not just for peeping?” Lin Jin handed the phone back to Xia Tian, feeling a bit uneasy, “These hidden cameras must be expensive, right?”
“Well, the police told me over the phone.”
Xia Tian paused to recall, then explained to Lin Jin: “It’s a gang operation. If the hidden cameras caught something incriminating and the person involved looked rich and cared about their reputation, they’d extort money from them, as much as possible. If the incident was compromising but the person was poor, they’d sell the footage online.”
Huh? It sounded like it could be quite profitable?
“Anyway, it’s all over, now you should be able to sleep better.” Xia Tian yawned and waved at Lin Jin, “I’m going back to sleep, we still have to stream tomorrow.”
“Eh? I didn’t say I wasn’t sleeping well.”
“I couldn’t sleep well after something like this and you can?” Xia Tian gave him a look, “By the way, the landlord said because of this incident, we'll get two months’ rent free.”
“Okay, got it.”
“Go to bed early, I’m heading back.”
