A live stream that dramatically transformed a depressed schoolgirl shocked netizens across the count

The salty sea breeze filled my ears.

Chen Lang led Shen Qingci back.

Barefoot, he stepped across the pebbles, water droplets flowing down the grooves of his shoulder blades to his waist, disappearing into his trousers.

After a burst of energy, the muscles become congested and bulging, and the V-line rises and falls with each breath.

Shen Qingci's gaze fell on his side waist.

Water droplets trickled down the skin, slid over the ribs, crossed the grooves, and disappeared into the edge of the belt.

Shen Qingci turned her head away, her ears burning.

The silver sphere is suspended three meters away.

The camera was pointed directly at Chen Lang, and the entire network of 200,000 people watched the high-definition live stream.

Ahhh, those defined abs! That V-shaped waist!

[Honey! Look at the camera! Turn around so I can give you a thorough critique!]

[Does that V-line even exist? I don't believe it unless I can touch it!]

[Sisters, go for it!! High-definition, uncensored, wet and wild male god! Tonight's live wallpaper is here!]

Shen Qingci released Chen Lang's hand as if she had been electrocuted.

The tactical vest, still warm from his body, was ripped off his shoulder, crumpled into a mess, and shoved into his arms.

"Put it on." The voice was strained.

"Now."

"immediately."

Chen Lang glanced at the crumpled fabric in his arms and looked up.

Shen Qingci's ears burned as he glared at the camera lens of the levitating sphere.

The comments section paused for a second, then completely exploded.

Wait a minute? She changed back into her clothes??

[Shen, what are you doing?! I haven't finished taking the screenshot yet!! What right do you have?!]

[Waaaaah, my wallpaper is gone! Shen Qingci, you have no martial ethics!]

A group of female fans, whose hopes had been dashed, directly criticized the fans in the live chat.

[Hilarious! Who was just putting on that aloof, fairy-like persona? And then they get all worked up seeing the comments drooling over the screen? That's such a disgusting display of greed!]

[This is clearly possessive of her food! Will it cost her a piece of meat if she looks at the comments for even a second longer? She stuffed her clothes in so quickly, as if she's afraid someone will look at her man's abs for even a second longer.]

[It's chilling to think about... Think back to the first aid just now! Brother Lang was able to drag someone back with one hand against the rip current—with that kind of superhuman physical ability and reaction speed, how could he not know CPR?!]

[Yeah! Just as Lang Ge grabbed the girl's chin to clear her airway, School Beauty Shen rushed over and took over performing CPR! She just didn't want Lang Ge to touch the girl's mouth!]

[Holy crap, the blind guy upstairs hit the nail on the head! This woman is incredibly possessive; she won't let her man touch another woman, and now she won't even let us see her abs through the screen!]

The CP (couple) fans quickly launched a counterattack and controlled the online comments.

[Sour chickens, begone! The queen is furious! What's this called? This is called asserting sovereignty!]

[Class representative highlights: Lang Ge didn't perform CPR; he voluntarily gave up the last step for the school beauty! This is the epitome of male virtue! What's wrong with the school beauty being possessive of her food? Her protection is legal and reasonable!]

[Didn't you guys see the way the school beauty was looking at you? Doesn't it look like you got caught peeping at her husband showering? Hahaha!]

Chen Lang stood there, chuckling softly.

He didn't refute, but slowly unfolded the crumpled tactical vest.

The arms slipped through the cuffs, the fabric clinging to the damp torso, concealing the view that had driven female fans across the internet wild.

He bent down to pick up the tactical boots that had been lying on the ground and fastened them with two "clicks".

Finally, he pulled the black titanium steel earring from Shen Qingci's clenched fist and tucked it back into his left ear.

The moment the earring was put back in place, that nonchalant, sinister aura once again enveloped his eyes and brows.

The docile appearance of obedient dressing and the untamed wildness that cannot be suppressed in the bones create a suffocating contrast in the same person.

The comments section went out of control again.

[Holy crap! He actually put it on?! Who are you, Lang Ge? You used to be the kind of guy who wouldn't even acknowledge a thank you from fans even if they threw money at ten carnivals!]

[Shen, the school beauty, must have saved the entire universe in her past life! Taming a max-level beast only requires four words?!]

[This contrast is unbelievable! I'll gladly accept this dose of PDA!]

Shen Qingci lowered his hand, his fingertips still trembling slightly.

The stress response accumulated during the rescue was surging up all at once.

Chen Lang looked away, his tone relaxed.

"Let's go back to the car and rest."

Shen Qingci stood still.

She lowered her head and gripped Chen Lang's clothes tightly.

"I don't want to go back."

Chen Lang turned his head to look at her.

"We haven't finished today's plans yet." She pursed her lips. "I don't want this to disrupt your schedule."

Chen Lang remained silent for two seconds.

"Okay, whatever you say." He relaxed his shoulders. "So, where do you want to go?"

Shen Qingci looked down at her hands.

Debris of aquatic plants was stuck between his fingers, and the smell of lake water and vomit lingered on his palms.

A sea breeze made my stomach churn.

Hot water and clean clothes are necessary to wash these away.

The brain is still immersed in the white noise of stress response, and the mouth is moving faster than the brain.

"Let's get a room."

Two words, pronounced clearly.

High-definition audio recording, lossless capture, and simultaneous transmission to a live broadcast room with 200,000 online viewers.

The video feed crashed.

For a full five seconds, the screen remained blank.

The data stream poured down like an avalanche.

【? ? ? ? ? ? 】

Am I blind or deaf? There must be something seriously wrong with either my eyes or ears! What did she just say?!

[School beauty, say that again?! And please speak louder? I wasn't wearing headphones!]

[Book a hotel room?! In front of 200,000 people online, he directly asked a beast-like man to book a hotel room?! Is this the astonishing vocabulary of a top student?!]

[@Hongyuan Building Materials Shen Jianguo! Father-in-law! You need to do something about this! Your beautiful, top-quality cabbage has willingly taken over the pig's bed!!]

【Boss Shen, help!!! Your beloved daughter, whom you've cherished for eighteen years, has handed over her zipper in front of the entire nation's netizens!!】

[Shen Jianguo, if you don't take this seriously, I'm going to have to give you a wedding gift!]

A dark gold barrage with top-notch dazzling special effects forcefully occupied the very top of the screen.

[Qin Feng (Ignorant and Incompetent): Open! You must open!!! Master, don't move! I'll book all the presidential suites in every five-star hotel in Dali right now!!! Happy honeymoon, Master and Mistress!!!]

[Qin Feng, the Unlearned and Incompetent: Within thirty seconds! Which hotel lobby manager can deliver the top-of-the-line room key to my master first? I, Qin Feng, will personally transfer one million to him as a service fee!! Immediately! Right now!]

The bullet screen system has entered a frenzied mode.

The server background alerts are flashing rapidly.

The eight large characters "Happy Wedding" and "May you have a son soon" filled the screen.

Even the system's built-in anti-scraping mechanism for the floating ball couldn't stop this frenzy.

Shen Qingci snapped out of her daze from the stressful white noise.

The screen was filled with bullet comments that pierced my eyes.

The heat climbed up my neck, burned my ears, and made my cheekbones feel frighteningly hot.

Even her breathing became erratic.

"No--"

She opened her mouth, but her tongue seemed to be tied in a knot.

"No! I, I mean—"

She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms, using the pain to force herself to finish her sentence.

"Let's find a place nearby...buy some clean clothes, get a room...and wash off the seawater and...dirt!"

The more you describe, the darker.

Netizens caught up in the festivities weren't buying it at all.

[Haha, school beauty, stop explaining! Explaining is just a cover-up! We all know that!]

"Washing away the dirt"—we get it instantly! Don't worry, we're all adults; we completely understand the necessity of this post-battle shower!

[Brothers, take notes! This is the pinnacle of Chinese language proficiency from top students at Tsinghua and Peking Universities: "Book a hotel room" = "Change clothes." Remember this, it'll definitely be on your final exam!]

The CPU is completely fried! This car was going way too fast; I've welded the doors shut, no one's getting off!

Shen Qingci closed her eyes, wishing she could dig a hole with her bare hands and bury herself in the pebble beach right then and there.

A soft chuckle sounded beside him.

His chest vibrated, and his muffled laughter carried a wicked pleasure.

Chen Lang turned sideways and lowered his head.

Its towering form pressed down, blocking most of the sea breeze.

Warm breath brushed against her reddened earlobes, her voice low and hoarse.

"Student Shen."

"The tuition hasn't been paid yet, and you're already rushing to pay interest?"

He paused, his voice rising at the end, tinged with unrestrained laughter.

"It's not that it's impossible."

Shen Qingci's back stiffened.

The warmth from my earlobe traveled down my spine, and my toes curled up on the soles of my shoes.

She raised her elbow and shoved it back.

When the impact hit Chen Lang's taut abdominal muscles, which were as hard as iron, Chen Lang's arm went numb, but he didn't even flinch.

The comments section went wild again.

[Holy crap, I overheard him on the microphone!!! What did he say?! "Tuition fees haven't been paid yet, and he's already rushing to pay interest?? Is this the kind of sweet talk a carbon-based being in the mortal realm could utter?!"]

[I'm dead! I'm dead! I'm dead!!! Hormones are practically gushing out of the screen! Get me a ventilator right now!]

[Qin Feng, the Unlearned and Incompetent: Waaaa, Master, you're truly my eternal god! Who taught you these flirting techniques?! Confucius?! My hands are about to fall off from taking so many notes!]

Shen Qingci gripped Chen Lang's clothes tightly and buried her flushed face in the back of her hand.

The levitating ball hovered five meters away, recording a screen full of pink bubbles.

Amidst the screen-filling celebration, a white text barrage scrolled across the bottom of the screen.

Wait a minute... look closely, doesn't that girl in the yellow shirt who was just rescued from drowning look familiar?

This comment was like a drop of cold water falling into boiling oil.

[Holy crap? Now that you mention it, that face looks familiar too.]

[That height proportion, the particularly defined collarbone, and the bare facial features revealed when Xiao Qingci was doing CPR... You guys should quickly search for that million-follower anime blogger under Xingyao Interactive Entertainment who's been sidelined by the company for almost two months!]

[Ye Xingyu? ? ?]

【The Thousand-Faced Witch Ye Xingyu?! Holy crap, no way?!】

The shallows three hundred meters away.

The girl in the yellow jacket, wrapped in a windbreaker, was still coughing, her face buried in her best friend's arms, her wet hair covering her face.

Her best friend brushed the stray hairs from her forehead.

The 8K lens captured a clear profile.

The style of the live stream suddenly changed.

[It's her!! That's Ye Xingyu!! The top cosplayer from Xingyao Interactive Entertainment, known as the "Thousand-Faced Witch"!!]

What's she doing here? Wasn't she supposed to be sidelined by the company? Why is she here at Erhai Lake alone?

[Wait...Was Wang Rui, the Business Director of Xingyao Interactive Entertainment, also in this live stream just now?]

[This is terrifying to think about...]
