A few minutes later, Xiao He, who had been punished, regretfully closed the game in front of him.
"I'm not a coward, I'm going to take the diamonds back right away!"
Before quitting the game, Xiao He was still stubbornly trying to explain.
It's just about manipulating a clumsy thief to steal diamonds from a museum! With his current skills, he can practically control the whole thing!
If Liu Rulan hadn't called to stop him, he would have already finished the game!
【Haha, the museum curator, watching the surveillance footage, fell into deep thought for a long time.】
【Security guard: Garlic bird, garlic bird, give it to him, I think he really needs it.】
【Brother Xiao, you truly haven't forgotten your original aspirations. When I thought you were going to be a hero in the canyon and a special forces soldier on the island, you still chose to be a thief. Isn't that a kind of unwavering commitment?】
【I'm dying of laughter! Isn't this more entertaining than the New Year's Eve gala? I've been laughing all night.】
【I was initially worried that Brother Xiao would be affected by what happened a few days ago, but to my surprise, Brother Xiao is still Brother Xiao; he has a strong mentality and wasn't affected at all.】
【Am I the only one wondering why the agent made that call? Xiao Ge was playing the game perfectly fine, he didn't do anything wrong, so why stop him?】
【Perhaps it's because he played a thief in the game, which is seen as sending a negative message? That's the downside of being a celebrity; everything they do is magnified. Even while Xiao Ge is still broadcasting, parents might be boycotting him, saying he didn't set a good example and spread harmful ideas.】
【Oh no, I actually think someone would do that. Brother Xiao is going to get yelled at again.】
【Brother Xiao truly lives up to his name; his persona remains unshaken no matter what, even when playing a game, he's always the villain.】
【Haha, when did Brother Xiao start creating a persona? Brother Xiao is really wronged! He's played good guys before.】
【Shen Jue, who can use a boning knife: Oh right, I'm a good person.】
【Xu Ning, slaughtering other players: Oh right, I'm a good guy.】
【Haha, it's okay, Xiao-ge. The show airs tomorrow night too, you'll definitely change everyone's opinion of you. After all, Yin Qi is so well-behaved! A sunny, younger brother type, worth the wait.】
【Huh? Is the person upstairs just a small-time fan who hasn't read the original work?】
【Yin Qi smiles: Oh right, I'm a good person.】
【What's wrong? I suddenly have a bad feeling.】
【I have one too.】
【It's okay, don't worry, Brother Xiao is really a good person inside.】
【This is Xiao Ge's transformative work; you definitely shouldn't miss it.】
【...I just watched quietly, without saying a word.】
In the last bit of time, Xiao He didn't stream playing games anymore; he just chatted with his viewers for a while.
Fortunately, there isn't much time left; there are only ten minutes left until the new year.
Based on suggestions from netizens, Xiao He found the most classic New Year's Eve toasting movie clip online, and then poured a glass of Sprite in the shot.
Drinking alcohol is not allowed in this sensitive live stream; otherwise, the stream will be immediately ended with a warning.
Xiao He didn't want his final trending topic to be, "【Shocking! Brother Xiao's live stream banned for drinking!】".
So he used Sprite as a final ritual.
Soon, the faint sound of fireworks exploding could be heard outside the window.
Even though Xiao He was broadcasting live, he could still hear it very clearly.
He took off his headphones, turned his head to look at the night outside the window, and a lingering gentleness appeared in his eyes.
After entering the entertainment industry, I spent one New Year's Eve with my roommate He Junhao, and another with the cast and crew of the drama "Yu Ye".
This time, many people online are with him.
The number of viewers in the live stream also continued to rise during this period. Even though many of Xiao He's fans were busy with their own things in real life, they did not forget to come to the live stream at this most important moment of the New Year and spend it with their favorite idol.
In the final minute, no one spoke; everyone held their breath, watching the countdown on their phones.
【ten】
【Nine】
【eight】
...
As many people in the live chat counted down, the sound of fireworks rang out outside the window once again.
【one!】
【Happy New Year!】
Happy New Year, Brother Xiao! I hope you have all the best!
【Happy New Year, Xiao He!】
【We'll always be there for you, Xiao Ge! You'll always be my favorite idol!】
【Go, Xiao Ge! Don't let the rumors affect you; you're the brightest star! I'll always be your biggest fan!】
【Brother Xiao, I love you!】
"Nothing more to say, cheers!"
Xiao He swirled his wine glass in front of the camera, then downed the Sprite in one gulp. The comments section was filled with friendly New Year's greetings and well-intentioned encouragement.
With the successful arrival of the new year, this also means that the live broadcast has come to a successful end.
The young man in front of the camera waved and smiled very gently. He was a completely different person from the characters in his works, but both of them carried Xiao He's unique personal charm and spiritual core.
It is the underlying essence that will never change, no matter what role or skin it is wrapped in; it is the unwavering commitment to follow one's true self under any circumstances.
Happy New Year everyone!
-
Wuhu!
After Xiao He turned off the live stream, he heard cheers from other people downstairs.
Xiao He walked out of the study and stood by the railing looking down. Sure enough, he saw several familiar figures setting out tableware at a picnic table in the center of the garden.
This small garden inside the villa, abandoned for so long, has finally found its purpose—
"Hey, Brother Xiao, is the live stream over?"
He Junhao stood with his hands on his hips, head tilted back, calling out to Xiao He through the sounds of fireworks.
Xiao He smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's over."
"That's great! Come on, come and give me your feedback on my latest creation!"
As He Junhao spoke, he pulled out a mysterious tray.
Xiao Chen, who was preparing the plates nearby, immediately said defensively, "Excuse me, could you please move this thing away? We're going to take pictures later, and this isn't suitable to be on this table."
Old Qi silently moved another table over and then placed He Junhao's tray on this table.
He Junhao pouted in dissatisfaction: "Hey, how could you do this?"
Dai Bai laughed and said, "Take your masterpiece further away, lest Brother Xiao throw you and your stuff out in a bit."
Zhai Zhipeng said with a hint of helplessness, "When did you, the chef in the food section, start to develop the wrong skills?"
This is nothing like the gourmet chef I imagined!
Just as the group was playfully fighting, other people arrived from outside the villa.
"It's so lively."
Shu Han and his agent He Wenming followed Liu Rulan in.
"Sorry to bother you."
Upon seeing Xiao He, Shu Han and He Wenming greeted him together, "We just came down from an event and happened to run into Sister Liu, so we came over to check on her."
"welcome!"
Xiao He naturally wouldn't refuse, and smiled as he asked Lao Qi to help prepare a chair.
There were so many people at the villa today. Besides the few roommates Xiao He used to know, there were also a few people from Linghui Entertainment who had joined the entertainment industry.
They may not have known each other before, but because they all have the same friend Xiao He, they don't feel awkward getting along.
He Junhao was so happy that his face turned red. After Shu Han obtained his consent, his New Year's Eve vlog this year will not only feature the already famous Xiao He, but also the even more famous actor Shu Han.
Xiao He's other two roommates were not overly reserved or obsequious when they met Shu Han; their attitudes were quite relaxed. Shu Han breathed a sigh of relief and eventually decided to stay and have dinner with them.
During the meal, He Junhao rubbed his hands together, finally deciding to showcase his true culinary skills as a food blogger with millions of followers online.
He pulled Xiao He over, then nudged Xiao He's arm, gesturing for him to lift the cover of the mysterious tray, looking very expectant.
Xiao He couldn't help but recall the "bloody" skull cake He Junhao had made for him during New Year's Eve two years ago.
He couldn't help but stare at He Junhao and tentatively asked, "What exactly is in here?"
Let me prepare myself mentally!
"You'll see when you open it!"
He Junhao's expression was a mixture of anticipation and urging.
Xiao He went to see Xiao Chen and Lao Qi again, trying to get some clues from them.
However, this time Xiao Chen and Lao Qi very tacitly looked away.
Xiao He: ...
彳亍口巴.
With a heart full of trepidation, Xiao He lifted the cover in front of him—
