Watching the VIP banners that Qianfan Guo posted swept across the screen, Miaomiao was stunned.
In the control panel for streamers, one could filter messages from high-level users, and moreover, such users' arrivals and departures from the room were visible to the hosts.
Miaomiao could clearly see that after Xu Fan posted those two messages, he had abruptly left the room.
Without a trace of attachment.
Miaomiao's scalp tingled, and her mind buzzed; following that, a surge of inexplicable emotion overwhelmed her, bringing tears to her eyes almost instantly.
Having been a streamer for over a year, she had encountered all sorts of people in the live room, most of whom had used language filled with cyberbullying.
Shameless demands, verbal obscenities, and even financial coercion from wealthy viewers seeking to coax her into bed...
People like Qianfan Guo were truly a first for her.
With no ulterior motive, merely to inspire her to preserve her dignity and remain honorable, he had sent her thirty rockets.
He really was different from the others.
At that moment, Miaomiao somewhat regretted her actions; she regretted that she had recklessly assumed he was one of those with malevolent intentions towards her, including the resentful words she had spoken.
But now, anything she said was pointless, for he had already left...
Perhaps, he would never come back to watch her again.
Wrapped in a sudden sense of loss, Miaomiao stared at the message Xu Fan had posted, lost for a long while.
It took her quite a while to take a deep breath and come back to her senses.
"Thank you, I will listen to you."
Having said that, Miaomiao sat up and addressed the camera, "Everyone, please wait for a moment, I am going to change into a different outfit, then I'll continue singing for you when I get back."
"Damn! Miaomiao! Please don't!"
"Don't do it! You can't ditch us for a rich guy! We can send you fish balls! Please don't change!"
"Let's crowd-fund some rockets for Miaomiao! Let her change into stockings!"
Miaomiao was somewhat indifferent to the sudden commotion in the live room.
Perhaps, as Qianfan Guo had suggested, she really could live with a bit more dignity.
After all, isn't it most important for a woman to maintain her integrity?
...
Xu Fan had no idea that a few casual clicks had broken the hearts of thousands of viewers overnight.
When he was serving in the White Crescent overseas and watched a pleasing performance with his comrades after completing a mission, tipping hundreds of thousands was a common occurrence; hence, sending thirty rockets to Miaomiao hadn't seemed like a big deal to him.
Having glanced through various channels on the Douyu Platform, he had gained a basic understanding of the live streaming environment, confident that he could handle whatever came Shimeng's way when she started her stream the next day.
Soon, the next day arrived.
In the early morning, when it was time to go to school, Shi Lei found him.
Shi Lei had taken the task he assigned yesterday very seriously and had prepared all the equipment the night before.
Now, all they needed to do was head to the music room to start streaming whenever they wanted.
Xu Fan nodded in satisfaction; the first two periods that afternoon were self-study, and with the lunch break, there would be enough time for Shimeng to kick off her first live stream.
He instructed Shi Lei to take him to the music room at noon, then returned to the classroom to notify Shimeng.
Since he had already informed her previously, Shimeng had already packed the outfit she intended to wear for the stream, ensuring nothing would go wrong.
The only thing that worried Xu Fan was that the girl seemed quite nervous now; he couldn't help but wonder if she might mess up during the live stream.
Anyway, he hoped everything would go smoothly!
Soon, the morning classes ended, and Xu Fan stood up after all the students had gone to eat.
"Still nervous?"
Guan Shimeng was distracted during the classes that morning. Her classmates thought she was sick, but only Xu Fan knew that the girl was nervous about the live broadcast that was about to start.
"Xu Fan, maybe... maybe we should just cancel it..."
Seemingly haunted by something from a few days ago, Guan Shimeng tugged at Xu Fan's clothes, looking a bit scared.
Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh and pinched her cheek, saying, "Silly girl, everything has to start somewhere. It's okay to be a bit nervous."
"Believe me, one day, you'll stand on an even bigger stage!"
"Hmm..."
Xu Fan's words seemed to have a magic power, calming Guan Shimeng down and gradually easing her anxious heart.
She looked up at Xu Fan with a small face filled with determination, thinking that no matter how hard it was, she couldn't back down, not for him.
Shi Lei had been notified earlier, and now he led a few people to the classroom door.
"Uh, boss, this?"
Seeing that, apart from Xu Fan, Guan Shimeng was also there, Shi Lei was stunned.
"Boss, now I understand what..."
Shi Lei's expression was as lecherous as it could be, causing Guan Shimeng's face to turn red with embarrassment.
She could easily tell that Shi Lei was guessing the nature of her relationship with Xu Fan.
"Oh? What do you understand now?"
As Guan Shimeng shyly hid behind him, Xu Fan gave Shi Lei a cold look.
"Cough cough, I don't understand anything, boss, let's just go now."
Shi Lei straightened up seriously, adopting a solemn demeanor, and led his brothers, along with Guan Shimeng and Xu Fan, toward Zijing Middle School's music room.
Soon, the group reached the music room.
The music room, provided by Zijing Middle School for the school band to practice, was artistically decorated and had a nice environment, perfect for live broadcasting.
Shi Lei had presumably informed the band earlier that no one would disturb them while they were using the room.
There, they saw a brand-new computer, most likely hurriedly prepared by Shi Lei the day before.
"Boss, so it's the renowned Guan Shimeng doing the live stream..."
As Xu Fan led Guan Shimeng over, Shi Lei could no longer feign ignorance and asked sneakily.
"Yes, it was my idea to let her try it out beforehand."
Trusting Shi Lei, Xu Fan didn't hide the truth and simply nodded.
"But keep this under wraps, don't let others know for now, okay?"
Given Guan Shimeng's immense popularity at Zijing Middle School, the more people knew, the more likely her parents would find out.
And then, it might not be long into the streaming before her parents strictly forbade it.
"Don't worry, boss, no one else will know about this."
The people who had come with him today were all trusted by Shi Lei, and taking Xu Fan's request seriously, he viewed the matter with great importance.
Xu Fan nodded and said, "Alright then, you guys go wait outside."
After sending Shi Lei and his group out, Xu Fan walked over to Guan Shimeng...
