Will the plagiarism girl be a substitute for the preference for women?

"As for whether she's genuinely interested in becoming a virtual streamer, rather than just doing it for fun, I think the chances are slim. She doesn't need to go to the trouble of creating a persona just to earn a pittance... Oh, thanks to the overly prominent paid comments from my mom, I retract my previous statement that it was just a pittance."

"However, to achieve a level of revenue from live streaming that would satisfy this rising star in the music industry, she would probably have to put in a tremendous amount of effort to ensure the effectiveness of the live streams and cultivate her public image. I would prefer that she focus her energy on making music."

At this point, another member of the management team retorted:

"I disagree. It's normal for musicians to pay attention to their persona, and is it really that hard to create one? Even if you don't play a fictional character, you can still attract people by showing your true self. I think the important thing is... opportunity."

"Yes, it's still an opportunity!"

The person who was being refuted agreed and then started advertising.

"It's enough."

……

When get out of class ended, Xiangzi, under the guise of going to the restroom, glanced at Qianna as he got up and walked towards the back door.

The other person slightly lifted their hand off the table and turned their body slightly toward Xiangzi, as if they wanted to say something, but had no motivation to speak.

"What is it?" Xiangzi asked.

When asked, Chizuru still didn't open her mouth, but quietly opened the screen of the Switch in the drawer, displaying the game interface of Kirby Wii Deluxe, a game that supports up to four people to play at the same time.

Then, the controller on the side of the China console was removed and slightly extended.

Xiangzi frowned: "This is a school."

But she still took the handle.

It seemed that only by doing this could I dispel the regret I had just felt.

On the other side, Aine, who was a little worried because China hadn't come to play with them, was preparing to go check on Class B.

As she passed by the lamp, she suddenly had the idea of ​​removing some obstacles from its interior.

"Xiao Deng, shall we go to Class B to see Chinatsu?"

“??”

The thought that Shoko was sitting in front of Chika made Akira shrink back.

While she hesitated, Ai-yin pulled her up.

Chapter 43 This isn't the school spirit of Yuqiu, is it?

"Wait...wait a minute!"

The lamp was pulled to a halt by Ai Yin, and he muttered hesitantly:

"Xiao Xiang..."

Upon hearing the name, Aine roughly understood what the lamp was thinking.

"Are you still too afraid to see Xiangzi?"

"Mm," Deng replied, head bowed.

Ai Yin lifted the hand that Deng was holding: "Deng mentioned this before, right? She wanted to prove herself in front of Xiangzi."

Xiao Deng looked out the door, but Xiangzi had not yet come out.

"I'm not... ready yet, I haven't started learning singing techniques from Chika yet."

"It's not time to prove yourself yet, but you also need to have the courage to meet them."

Aiyin comforted her, then pulled the lamp's hand closer to her.

"And we're going to find Chinatsu this time, let's go~"

"Well……"

The lamp followed Aiyin to the back door of Class B's classroom and stopped beside the door.

Ai Yin, who was in the front row, peeked out to check the situation.

"Huh, where is this?"

Aine saw Shoko squatting next to China.

Although China kept her mouth shut and seemed a little sullen, she would occasionally raise the corners of her mouth slightly as if amused by something.

Was Xiangzi secretly telling Qiannai a joke to comfort her? Is that even possible?

Ai Yin looked back at the sun outside the corridor, puzzled, and saw that it was setting in the west.

Or will Xiangzi show his true, emotional self in front of his younger sister?

Instead of guessing from her limited perspective, Ai Yin walked through the door, leaned over, stood on tiptoe, and craned her neck to see what they were doing over Xiangzi's shoulder.

"You're actually... playing games?" Ai Yin exclaimed in surprise, looking at the Switch in the drawer.

After playing for a while, Chika noticed that Shoko would always run to the edge of the screen as soon as she finished clearing the map.

"Xiao Xiang plays so fast, is he trying to play more levels during break?"

"..." Xiangzi did not answer, it seemed that no matter what she did, "speed" had become her subconscious behavior.

Even during gameplay, the focus shifted from simply enjoying the game to dispelling the regret stemming from earlier doubts about Chika and analyzing how the game could become a phenomenal IP through its gameplay, art style, and music.

I've gotten used to looking at things in depth.

Aine saw Chinatsu and the others playing Kirby Wii Deluxe, which seems to be playable by four people?

As Chizuru was engrossed in playing with the pink Kirby, she caught a glimpse of pink out of the corner of her eye and immediately turned around in surprise, saying:

"Wow, Kirby's here!... Little Ai Yin?"

Aine touched her head and smiled: "Are you saying I'm cute? Thank you, Chinatsu~"

At this moment, Deng silently encouraged himself a few times, then put his hands in front of his chest and strode into the classroom.

Looking back at the light, Aine said, "By the way, are there any extra controllers? We want to play too."

"I don't need it..." Deng said, looking down.

Xiangzi then handed the handle to Aiyin.

She figured that with China's old friends by her side, she wouldn't need to do anything else, and that would allow her to end this unnecessary form of entertainment.

Moreover, it's one thing for someone to bring a handheld console to school to slack off, but why would they bring an extra pair of controllers?

"Here."

China took another pair of handles out of her bag and gave them to Aine, who then took one out and handed it to Lamp.

"..."

Xiangzi slowly withdrew his hand that had extended the handle.

The game has been changed to a four-player mode.

At first, because Xiangzi was there, Deng kept his distance and played far away.

But as you get more involved in the game and pay more attention to the content on the screen, you get closer and closer to it.

Xiangzi's body and head remained perfectly still, his eyes glued to the screen.

Because if you turn your gaze slightly, you will see the light; if you move your body slightly, you will touch the light.

"Wow, Xiangzi, you're so fast at grabbing props! Can I have a little bit?"

Ai-yin is nearsighted, so she sits closer to the screen than anyone else.

Seeing the back of Aine's head at the bottom of the screen, Chinatsu softly murmured again, "Kirby..."

Xiangzi silently and quickly cleared out the enemies and ran to the edge of the plank.

"Xiao Xiang... is so hard to catch up with."

The lamp, engrossed in the game, inadvertently uttered this sentence, causing Xiangzi to pause in his actions, miss the platform above, and then...

They landed on the back of the character controlled by the light, and the two characters switched to riding mode.

Xiangzi continued to feign composure, immediately pressed the jump button to leave the mode, and ran to the edge of the board.

Upon seeing this, Ai Yin exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, I didn't know you could play like this! Try stacking them together!"

So, the three round Kirby figures controlled by Aine, Akari, and Chinatsu stacked together, while Shoko remained unmoved by the screen.

"Xiangzi, you should fold it up too."

Ai Yin urged them on, but just then the school bell rang. As she hurried back to the classroom, she turned back and said:

"Ah, then come play again after school, bye-bye."

"...Bye-bye." The lamp followed Aine away.

At this moment, Xiangzi also noticed that Qiannai's listless look had disappeared, and she smiled at him instead.

Did Xiao Xiang play games before?

"Don't play."

Xiangzi quickly replied, but of course did not give a reason.

Growing up in an aristocratic family, she was immersed in high art from a young age. Classical music, exquisite paintings, and profound literature filled her past, even though she couldn't fully understand those books at that age.

Game consoles were destined to be something she could never have.

"Xiao Xiang is very talented. He mastered the controls so quickly on his first try."

Chika added another sentence, while Shoko simply whispered, "Class has started," and Chika obediently covered her mouth.

……

When get out of class ended again, China excitedly put her handheld console out of the drawer and onto the table.

"Keep playing, Xiao Xiang!"

"Do not."

Xiangzi refused and quickly walked outside.

Since Su Shi now knows her location, she might not come to the club activities and instead come to the school to find her in advance.

So Xiangzi stopped practicing the piano and planned to leave school before Su Shi came.

At that moment, Deng from the next classroom also walked out of the door with Ai Yin.

Why don't you come and play a little longer, Xiangzi?

Ai Yin had intended to say that, but seeing the other person's urgent and serious expression, she didn't dare to utter a word.

Sigh, will I have to ignore it again, just like before, and let the light slip by? Aine thought to herself, looking at the somewhat timid light.

Suddenly, as if he needed to confirm something, Xiangzi didn't head straight for the stairwell, but instead glanced out into the corridor.

A girl with flaxen hair from the Moon Forest walked across the street to the school gate.

Did you take a day off specifically to stake out your spot?

After the incident at home, Xiangzi kept reminding himself to stay rational and calm, and not to break down under the blow.

But when Xiangzi saw Su Shi this time, he was indeed a little scared.

She looked at the two of them, Akari and Aine, again.

Are you going to play games with them until Su Shi can't wait any longer?

No... Rather than letting her stand there like this, let's just sever all ties completely.

At this moment, China also came out, carrying two things in her hands.

It's not a handle, but rather the same headband worn by Xiangzi.

"Xiao Xiang, can you help me style my hair like yours?"

Chapter 44 Are you serious?

On one side, China bounced over with a bright and cheerful smile and handed her a hairband; on the other side, Tama walked out of the classroom at the same time, and Suze stood at the school gate.

There are just too many things to deal with next time.

Sometimes, Xiangzi really wanted to blow up this planet.

"Please do it yourself."

Xiangzi walked towards another stairwell, which was in the opposite direction from the light and relatively far away from him.
