What To Do When The Boss Takes A Liking To You chapter 35
Getting Married Tomorrow, Will You Join Us for the Celebration?
Xu Le hastily explained: [President Lan, I accidentally typed the wrong thing just now, I’m sorry!]
President Lan: [It’s okay, I know.]
President Lan: [My new nickname is quite interesting.] smiley face.jpg
Staring at the phone screen, Xu Le felt a mix of emotions. Was President Lan joking with him? But did this emoticon really not have any mocking meaning?
Xu Le: [President Lan, I’ll definitely pay more attention next time!] innocent puppy face.jpg
This time, Lan Qing didn’t reply. Xu Le took a deep breath and turned off his phone.
He needed to go back, pack everything up, and prepare to… move into President Lan’s house.
Xu Le was somewhat of a minimalist. Apart from camera equipment and tripods, he didn’t have much stuff, so packing was swift and easy.
While packing that night, he found his guitar, which he hadn’t played in a long time.
The tobacco-brown shell gleamed as if new, the guitar’s body sleek and powerful. Cradling it in his arms, although he hadn’t touched it much in the past few months, Xu Le occasionally cleaned and moisturized it, so it was in good condition.
It was a Yamaha he bought in his freshman year, costing just over a thousand. It wasn’t expensive, but it was his first guitar, so he treasured it.
Strumming the strings, they sounded a bit off. After tuning, he played and sang for a while, realizing he hadn’t live streamed in a while. So he opened A station, intending to start a livestream.
Since he couldn’t sleep anyway, spending time with his online friends wouldn’t hurt.
Without hesitation, he brought out his recording equipment, confirmed the background was okay, and immediately started the livestream.
He never announced his livestreams in advance. They usually started in the evening, depending on whether his followers or random viewers stumbled upon them. He had more female fans, who were more enthusiastic, so within minutes of opening the stream, hundreds of people had joined.
The barrage of comments quickly filled the screen.
Fan A: [Lele, did you finally remember you have an A station account?]
Fan B: [Has baby been busy being a corporate slave lately? How’s the new company?]
Fan C: [Wife, wife, wife, love you~]
Fan D: [Did baby just take a bath? looks fragrant and soft, can’t stop licking the screen!!]
…
Xu Le: “……!”
Seeing the comments head in an interesting direction, he ignored some strange ones and chuckled nervously, “Everyone, watch your words, haha. I’m a serious person, just free today, so I thought I’d sing a few songs for you all. Here, let me show you my long-lost baby…”
Fan A: [What baby? Is it the one I’m thinking of, hehe! Heart eyes, licking the screen .jpg]
Fan B: [Is that a guitar? Wow, it’s been so long since I’ve heard LeLe sing. I’m looking forward to it. Can I request a song?]
Xu Le responded to the regular comments, “Yeah, it’s a guitar. Everyone, please stop making suggestive comments. I really can’t handle it. Let’s be more civilized, healthy, and pure in our thoughts, okay?”
He adjusted the camera, then held the guitar in his arms and strummed it a few times. Feeling a bit rusty, he smiled apologetically at the camera, “Give me a moment to find the rhythm. It’s been a while since I’ve performed in front of an audience. I’m a bit nervous, and I need to find the sheet music.”
Fan A: [Don’t be nervous, baby You sing wonderfully!]
Fan B: [Go for it, Lele! I want to hear you sing a sweet love song again. Hehe, I recorded your previous ones and saved them.]
Fan C: [I’ll listen to whatever Lele sings! I’m just here to drool over the screen (kidding).]
While Xu Le was looking down, searching for the sheet music on his tablet, a user with the nickname “Ivan” silently joined the live stream.
Xu Le only occasionally glanced at the comments and answered some questions, not paying much attention to who entered the stream.
“Let me play a song I’ve been liking recently, ‘You Know What?’.” Xu Le said with a smile.
“You know what
Do you know?
I think you and I did something right.
When you took me to your place last night.
…”
Xu Le’s voice was clear and bright, much like his sunny personality. When he sang, his voice was slightly deeper than when he spoke. Though his singing skills were not highly refined, his clean and pure voice was appealing, making people want to listen more.
He had just finished freshening up, his hair was still a bit damp, his cheeks were rosy, and he was wearing casual, loose pajamas with a blue chubby character printed on the T-shirt. He looked relaxed, handsome, and cute.
The live stream comments were almost overwhelming, with many viewers sending tips, including some worth tens or even hundreds of dollars.
Fan A: [Lele, your singing is still so good. Have you thought about releasing your own songs?]
Fan B: [Baby, love you, love you. It’s so good, mom loves you!]
Fan C: [Lele, your singing is so good, I can’t take it, I want to marry you…]
Xu Le saw the flood of comments and couldn’t help but twitch his mouth, almost playing the wrong note.
At that moment, a message floated into the stream, “Your friend ‘God of Cornfield’ has entered the live stream.”
Then, a noticeable special effect appeared.
“Your friend ‘God of Cornfield’ has gifted you an A-site Airship.”
Xu Le couldn’t help but laugh. Of course, his friend had his back!
“God of Cornfield” was the A-site nickname of his good friend from university, Li Dongming. As soon as he entered, without saying a word, he sent a gift worth 888 dollars.
Many fans recognized the nickname “God of Cornfield” as Xu Le’s roommate Li Dongming, who had appeared in Xu Le’s videos multiple times.
Li Dongming was a tall and sturdy Northerner. Though not particularly handsome, he was very manly, with a straightforward and hearty personality. Many fans followed him through Xu Le’s account.
Many fans openly shipped the two of them, even giving them a couple name, “DongLe CP”. Xu Le and Li Dongming didn’t mind at all.
When Xu Le used to stream from their dorm, Li Dongming would sometimes come over and playfully pinch his face or head, making fans scream with excitement.
The live stream was filled with comments like “I’m shipping this!”, “DongLe CP is real!”, and “Daily question: When will Lele and his manly Northern roommate get married?”
Li Dongming jokingly commented, “I’m marrying Lele tomorrow. Will everyone come to the wedding?”
The stream erupted with excited comments.
Xu Le laughed uncontrollably at the comments, “Haha, buddy, if you want to marry me, will your future girlfriend agree?”
Li Dongming replied in the comments, “I don’t have a girlfriend, Lele. Don’t accuse me.”
The comments went wild again.
Fan A: [I’m dying to celebrate your marriage. Please get married soon! Please, please!]
Fan B: [Marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage…]
Fan C: [I pray to lose twenty pounds in exchange for ‘DongLe CP’ getting married!]
Fan D: [Li Dongming already said marriage registration, I don’t care, you are married, quickly stream your married life, hehe!]
Xu Le laughed until his stomach hurt, finding the fans’ comments incredibly amusing and serious.
Suddenly, the stream started vibrating continuously, followed by a series of comment notifications.
“Ivan has gifted you Phoenix Coming x2”
“Ivan has gifted you True Love Vow x3”
“Ivan has gifted you Brilliant Starry Sea x4”
…
The continuous dazzling effects overshadowed the dense comments, with the nickname “Ivan” prominently displayed at the top of the stream, far ahead as the number one supporter.
Xu Le was speechless with surprise. At the same time, his phone vibrated with a message from Li Dongming.
Li Dongming: [Whoa, Lele, where did you get a rich fan who just tipped you tens of thousands at once?!]
