Chi Wen’s small body was as red as a boiled crayfish. After a long time, he finally got rid of the woman’s harassment, crawled to the innermost part of the bed, and curled with his back facing outward.
This woman is so hateful! He very kindly comforted her, but she treated him this way!
Did she think he doesn’t need a face?
He is furious!
..
Fu Yunruo was laughing behind her son’s back. Baobao is so shy, how cute!
Although she still wanted to cuddle, she also knew that the child would be really angry and might ignore her for several days if she didn’t stop.
After being comforted by her beloved son, Fu Yunruo’s depression was wiped away, and she regained her spirit again.
Fu Yunruo waited until her son’s anger was smoothed down, then she took the shy baby into her arms and patted his back gently to coax him to sleep.
Chi Wen closed his eyes tightly, leaning himself into the soft and fragrant embrace. He adjusted into a comfortable position and buried his face. Under the rhythmic pat, he was quickly overwhelmed with drowsiness and soon fell asleep.
After coaxing her son to sleep, Fu Yunruo continued browsing the forum. At first, she was very satisfied with her first day’s result, but now that she was hit by reality, her enthusiasm has cooled down, and she began to worry again. After all, she didn’t even know the average result for the first-time novice livestreamers, so she couldn’t tell whether she was doing well or not.
Fu Yunruo spent a long time browsing the forum before she found a reliable data analysis to compare, and finally had a general idea. With her current result, she could be regarded as an upper-middle level, which was pretty good for a novice. Although it was still incomparable to the top streamers who gained thousand of followers right from the beginning, those were rare and few. The majority of the streamers slowly accumulate fans and popularity. As long as she advanced steadily, she would also reach that level one day!
Fu Yunruo got the conclusion she wanted, and put down the phone. She then put her arms around her soft little portable warmer and fell asleep in content.
The next day, Fu Yunruo took her son and departed to the flower garden earlier than usual. She intended to do her usual tasks with Uncle Guo before continued preparing for her livestream broadcast.
However, Uncle Guo gave her a sour face and drove her away, letting her do the work in her flower room. The old man made it very clear that the task he entrusted to her right now was to take care of the flower seeds and seedlings he had given her.
Having no other choice, Fu Yunruo went to the little flower room. After tidying up a bit, she opened the app and started the livestream, with the camera facing the soil where the seed yesterday was planted.
“Good morning, fellow orchid lovers. We meet again today…”
Fu Yunruo had just said a few opening words, but she saw the upper right corner of the screen showing only one viewer watching her. She was puzzled. Didn’t she have more than one hundred followers yesterday? Why did no one come to watch today’s livestream?
Were those fake followers?
Fu Yunruo suddenly smacked her forehead: “Why did I forget to notify the streaming schedule yesterday?”
Her fans didn’t know her streaming schedule, so naturally they wouldn’t come!
[This streamer is really cute :D]
A comment suddenly popped up. Although there was only one viewer, Fu Yunruo still handled it seriously: “This is my first time doing a livestream. I have no experience beforehand. Next time, I will do better.”
[Streamer, you can turn on the automatic push notification.]
Yes, why didn’t she think of it? Any livestream platform had a function for automatic push notification. Whenever a livestream began, all the followers would get an automatic notification. Because the function was turned off by default, the channel owner had to turn it on to use it. This, however, was a two-way function. If followers found the constant notification to be annoying, they could turn off the setting completely or block specific channels.
Fu Yunruo took the phone, quickly found the settings, and then turned on the automatic push notification. When she returned to the livestream interface, there was already a barrage of comments.
[You can also upload the recording of your livestreams to your channel’s homepage, so that future audiences can watch your previous broadcasts.]
[Yes, fans can also re-watch it later]
Soon, there were 18 people watching the livestream.
Fu Yunruo listened to their opinion earnestly: “I see. This is true.”
She only thought about starting a livestream, but never thought about what to do after the livestream broadcast ended. But how to record? Under the fans’ guidance, Fu Yunruo finally knew that the platform automatically recorded every livestream broadcast, which then could be accessed via the dashboard.
The streamer then could edit and process the video to make it more lively and interesting, and then upload it to the channel’s homepage. To do this, not having a computer was inconvenient. Fu Yunruo hadn’t started making money yet, but she already considered another expense.
Although strictly speaking, this was a necessary investment, but after calculating her remaining funds, it was a bit…Fu Yunruo silently dismissed this idea. She should just wait until she made some money. Her savings needed to be set apart to raise her son, and couldn’t be used arbitrarily.
Maybe thanks to the effect of automatic notification, but the numbers of viewers soon jumped on.
Fu Yunruo also started planting today’s seeds. After one night, the number of people who voted in the forum was still small, but there was a significantly higher rate in one of the selections.
The selected seed for today was a species called low’s boat orchid, a family of cymbidium orchid. Fu Yunruo proceeded to plant the seed while explaining each step to the viewers. Finally, she said: “Alright, the second child has been planted. Let’s look forward to its birth.”
[Second child, ahhhhhh!]
“Yes, this is the second child in our family. Let’s focus on the eldest child next. Although we have a second child, we cannot reduce our attention to the eldest child. Otherwise, the eldest child will be jealous and refused to sprout. It’s not good if the second child is born earlier than its eldest sibling, right?”
[Yunyun is really funny.]
[Yes, we can’t let the second child be born before its eldest sibling.]
[Hahahahaha]
Fu Yunruo also couldn’t hold her laughter.
Time flies quickly. Fu Yunruo looked at the time, and was about to end today’s broadcast. She said: “Alright, we are about to finish here. Like yesterday, I will post a vote later in the forum. Whoever wants to choose the third child, just move your fingers to add your precious vote. Also, don’t forget to click the ‘follow’ button on the top right of the screen. See you tomorrow!”
After announcing the broadcasting time for tomorrow, Fu Yunruo ended the livestream. The time she chose to broadcast her livestream was not a popular one. She started before seven in the morning and ended at around ten o’clock. At these hours, the majority of people were still dreaming in bed or rushing to work. This also the time when students were at school, so the traffic in general was the lowest. The peak time for a livestreaming platform was on weekends, public holidays, and after 6 pm on weekdays.
The hour Fu Yunruo casually chose to start her livestream was out of the peak time. People who watched her channel so early mainly were office workers on their commute to work. However, because the flower room she used to livestream was at her workplace, Fu Yunruo couldn’t take advantage of the night peak period, so her choices were only the smaller traffic around 7 o’clock in the morning and 12 o’clock at midday. Because Fu Yunruo thought that morning was more suitable to take care of flowers, she decided to keep this schedule for the time being.
After closing the livestream interface, Fu Yunruo started another voting in the forum and then returned to check today’s statistics. Today’s result had been more than tripled compared to yesterday, and the barrage of comments were also a lot more lively.
Her followers today were close to four hundred, and she also received gifts again! Yesterday’s gift was a small bamboo that was rewarded for free by the platform every day, but today, not only she got free bamboos, she also got a few paid gifts!
She looked at the gift menu and found that after being converted into real money, the gifts were worth a total of twenty yuan! It had to be known that this money was to be shared between her and the platform with the ratio of 3:7. However, this small amount of money was enough to make Fu Yunruo overjoy. She became more interested in livestreaming and was even more motivated to do better.
…
In a city far away, in an upscale villa located inside a highly-secured community, Yuan Xin stood outside the door, yelling into the intercom while ringing the doorbell aggressively: “Si Yue, open the door! I know you are here. If you have the ability to hide inside the house, open the door right now!”
Yuan Xin shouted outside the door for a long time before the door finally opened, and he immediately rushed in like a mad bull.
Si Yue walked out with a lazy face: “Who made our family’s Yuanyuan angry? Look at you; your hair has blown out. Your hair is already thin. If you are not careful, you will really become bald.”
“You still have the gut to speak!” Yuan Xin angrily yelled. “The filming is going to start tomorrow, yet you, the male lead, are still so lazy here. Are you going to skip working, ah?!”
Si Yue frowned, “I’m not in the mood…”
“My lord, my ancestor!! What happens with you again?”
Si Yue moved his gaze towards the flower shed in the yard: “My flower died…”
Si Yue’s flower shed was specially built for raising flowers. It had the complete equipment and facilities, but the inside was totally bare. Let alone blooming flowers, it didn’t even have a single seedling.
Yuan Xin: “…” The orchid that was obtained with a great effort, after 12 days of persistence, was finally unable to withstand the poison gas attack of the great Movie Emperor Si and died tragically?
Yuan Xin said coldly: “No wonder. You are a plant killer.”
He was really made astonished by this guy’s crazy ability to kill every flower he raised.
Si Yue’s acting spirit seemed to be aroused. Bitterness and unyielding resentment appeared in his eyes, mixed with love and yearning, which made people feel heartache: “Why? I poured all my mind and gave it my utmost care every day. I paid so much, so why it still left me so decisively?”
Even Yuan Xin, who had seen this dog man’s acting countless times, couldn’t help being led by the nose. But this time, he hardened his heart and avoided looking at Si Yue.
“Is it because I am handsome? So handsome that it felt ashamed facing me and chose the road of no return?” Si Yue switched to the narcissistic mode in an instant. He touched his face, worrying again about how handsome he was.
Shameless! Yuan Xin sighed, feeling too tired to be sarcastic.
“Let’s talk first. What will it take for you to be willing to work?” Yuan Xin folded his arms in front of his chest, resisting the urge to tie this guy and drag him to the filming site immediately.
“I want to raise flowers…”
People said that something unattainable was even more desirable.
Since Si Yue was born, anything he wanted was immediately provided by people around him, and there was nothing he couldn’t obtain. But when he was in kindergarten, the teacher assigned homework for the children to raise a flower with their family.
That was the only homework he couldn’t complete. Si Yue was very stubborn and refused to accept the reality. At that time, the flower he chose for the homework was an orchid, which started his life-long obsession with it. Growing up, he was used to raising an orchid from time to time.
Facing this problem, Yuan Xin had no answer. He didn’t know how to cure Si Yue’s plant killer disposition. Since he couldn’t raise it himself, was it possible to let someone else raise it for him?
Yuan Xin’s eyes suddenly brightened. That’s it!
“As long as you can raise flowers successfully, you are willing to go to the filming site obediently?”
Si Yue raised his eyebrows and nodded lazily.
Having gained an inch, Yuan Xin asked for a foot: “There is also a talk show…”
“As long as I can raise a flower, I will go.”
“This year’s New Year Gala?”
Si Yue looked at Yuan Xin suspiciously. This guy suddenly demanded so much. Did he really have a way?
“I will go.”
Yuanxin suddenly smiled. He took out his mobile phone and opened an app: “Alright, you can raise flowers here.”
“What do you mean?”
“There is a livestreamer growing orchids in real-time. You can do online flower raising here.”
Yuan Xin saw Chi Weicheng watch a video two days ago. He listened from the side, and found it quite interesting. After asking casually, it turned out to be a livestream about raising orchids, and Chi Weicheng also taught him a bit.
Wasn’t this just right?
Since Si Yue couldn’t raise a flower in person, just let him join an online flower raising community. This guy surely couldn’t kill the orchids hundreds of miles away, right?
Yuan Xin searched for the name of the channel he watched that day. After confirming that it was the right one, he shoved the phone to Si Yue.
“You can raise orchids here in the future. The streamer grows orchids from seeds, and her goal is apparently to try to cultivate a mutated variety. Maybe you can raise not only living orchids, but also a mutated one.”
Si Yue raised his eyebrows.
Yuan Xin said straightforwardly: “Online flower raising is still flower raising. Are you going to turn back on your words?”
Si Yue glanced at Yuan Xin and thought: since when was this guy’s mind so bright?
Yuan Xin kept babbling: “I usually don’t like to watch this kind of livestream. But I have to say that this streamer is naturally talented. She is not at all boring and makes the process of planting orchids interesting. She even opens a voting every day, letting the viewers choose the species to raise. This kind of activity is very attractive to people who want to raise flowers but unable to due to various constraints.”
Si Yue was a bit interested, but there was no livestreaming at this moment. He put the matter on pending for the time being and said: “I hope this will be as interesting as you said. Otherwise, don’t think about those talk shows and gala.”
Si Yue then went back into the house and came out with the luggage he had packed beforehand.
Yuan Xin wiped the sweat from his forehead. One day he would go on a strike! Who liked to serve this dog-like man?!
