Volume One, Chapter Two: Trapped

Page 1/3

Lin Beibei looked at the rose effect on the screen, suppressing a smile at the corner of her mouth.
Her first earnings from self-media were in hand!
It turned out that the fish in the “Floral Wine” pond were quite easy to catch.
Of course, Lin Beibei knew what borderline streamers mainly did—nothing more than fishing for top-ranking patrons.
No matter where these “fish” were, they were always caught.
But she could offer everyone a more professional and higher-quality service experience, definitely excluding any physical transactions.
As for replacing “Floral Wine” in their hearts…
She hadn’t thought that far; she just wanted to make a little money.
A bouquet of roses cost 520 Soundwave Coins, equivalent to 52 yuan in RMB.
After the platform’s fifty-fifty split, Lin Beibei earned 26 yuan.
Not much, but it gave her hope.
She was one step closer to her 2,000 yuan goal!
Lin Beibei reached out, made a heart gesture to the camera, and smiled sweetly and cutely: “Thank you to my dearest Brother Jiu Jiu for the roses. Brother, you’re too generous.”
“Dearest Jiu Jiu” suddenly paused his typing.
Looking at the pure smile on the screen that was impossible to look away from, he hesitated for a moment, then deleted the harsh words he had typed threatening Lin Beibei, one by one.
Finally, he changed it to: [It’s just small money. You stream well, just don’t ruin Jiu Jiu’s reputation.]
Lin Beibei: “Don’t worry about that. I’m a law-abiding citizen.”
momo: [This is way too much like Floral Wine. I bet the real Floral Wine would be shocked to see this! Even the mole on the collarbone is exactly the same!]
The Leader of Sheep Village: [Just so happens that Floral Wine hasn’t been streaming for a while. Keep going, stream well every day, and we’ll all come watch you! You’ll definitely blow up!]
Lin Beibei hoped she could become popular, too. That way, she could reach her goal of earning two thousand a day and enjoy life. “Thank you, family, for liking me.”
Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly saw someone wanting to connect with her. She frowned slightly.
It was her first time streaming and she had little experience, so she decided to ask the over a hundred viewers in the chat room, “Someone wants to connect with me. Should I accept?”
TTYY: [Maybe it’s for a PK battle. Accept it, I’ll send you gifts later, guarantee you’ll win.]
With TTYY’s encouragement, Lin Beibei didn’t hesitate and connected immediately.
She couldn’t miss any opportunity to make money!
The connection went through. On the other side was a male streamer around thirty years old with 150,000 followers and over a thousand viewers in his room.

He wore a black uniform and went by the name Avicii.
When Avicii saw Lin Beibei, he was shocked and widened his eyes: “You, you’re Floral Wine?! But wait, this doesn’t match the follower count! Is this an alt account? Oh my God, family, I just connected to a big streamer!”
Avicii was extremely excited and hurriedly took frantic screenshots and recordings.
For small streamers like them, connecting to a streamer with millions of followers was rare, and these materials could be used for video promotion!
Plus, he could show off to his buddies.
Watching Avicii fumble nervously, Lin Beibei smiled gently yet politely and explained, “I’m not Floral Wine.”
When Avicii heard she wasn’t Floral Wine, just someone who looked similar, his excited expression vanished in an instant, replaced by indifferent disinterest.
Everyone was out to make money—if she wasn’t a big streamer, he didn’t want to waste expressions on her. It was tiring enough to fake a smile in front of his family every day just to earn some meager cash.
“How are we playing? Let’s not waste time,” Avicii said impatiently.
Playing with a small streamer like this wasn’t very profitable nor did it bring traffic. It was boring. The fact he didn’t cut the connection immediately was the greatest respect Avicii could show, considering she looked decent.
Lin Beibei thought of the PK connection videos she had seen before and replied, “I’m good with anything. You decide.”
She knew she’d be punished if she lost but didn’t know what the punishments would be, so she left it to him. Whatever the punishment, she could handle it. Since she was here to PK and take this job, she was ready to play.
She didn’t take TTYY’s promise of guaranteed victory seriously—men’s words were never trustworthy.
Moreover, this was her first live PK battle in her first stream. Losing was normal since she didn’t have many fans and their loyalty was weak.
Lin Beibei was very relaxed about it.
After all, she had prepared herself mentally to achieve her goal of enjoying life!
Avicii’s eyes gleamed with a mischievous smile when Lin Beibei said to let him decide. He looked at the pretty, pure-looking girl in his chat room and said, “Friends, come on, what do you want her to do?”
[Borderline dance! Floral Wine’s specialty!]
[Right! Borderline dance! Floral Wine’s moves are unbeatable! It’s a pity we rarely get to see her dance now—she’s become a big streamer and has gotten a bit high and mighty. You can’t just watch whenever you want.]
[Exactly! I remember a while ago a big spender dropped 500,000 for her to dance, she agreed but forced a smile and danced half-heartedly. Everyone noticed, and the big spender was a bit unhappy.]
Hearing these suggestions from his followers, Avicii looked up at the beautiful, innocent girl on camera, his wicked smile growing more obvious: “The brothers want you to imitate Floral Wine’s borderline dance. Can you do it?”
Lin Beibei readily accepted: “I can. What if you lose?”
“If I lose, I’ll perform my signature move for you. But don’t worry—I won’t lose. I’m muting your mic now, let’s start!” Avicii eagerly turned off Lin Beibei’s mic.
Just imagining the girl with Floral Wine’s face dancing a borderline dance made his blood boil!
The viewers in the chat room were just as excited.
Five minutes passed, the PK ended, and Lin Beibei lost without surprise.
Nobody in the chat sent her any gifts.

Not even TTYY, who had been online the whole time, sent her a single gift.
Wielding Sword Across the World: [@TTYY, didn’t you say you’d guarantee her a win? What’s going on?]
TTYY: [She doesn’t deserve it. Does she think she really is Floral Wine? I only send gifts to the real Floral Wine!]
Lin Beibei understood immediately from this message.
TTYY had deliberately set her up, wanting her to be punished and humiliated.
Avicii, after thanking his friends for the gifts, quickly turned her mic back on, a sinister smile impossible to hide on his face: “Come on, hurry up. My brothers are all waiting!”
Lin Beibei kept smiling: “Alright, family, what dance do you want? Although I don’t know it, I can learn it live for you.”
TTYY: [Do the ‘Nine Thousand Characters’ dance.]
Ultraman’s Light: [Agreed! The Nine Thousand Characters it is!]
Lin Beibei hadn’t danced borderline dances much but had seen videos before. “Okay, wait a moment. I haven’t danced it before, let me watch a video first.”
She searched on her computer for Floral Wine’s ‘Nine Thousand Characters’ dance and watched it once. Then she stood up and began to learn and dance on the spot.
Her supple waist and fair fingers slowly swayed to the seductive DJ music.
Her pure face carried just the right amount of charm without being overly flirtatious, elevating this vulgar borderline dance to a level of sophistication!
The viewers in the chat room were stunned!
[Amazing! This feels even more exciting than Floral Wine’s dance!]
[Oh my God! First time seeing a female streamer perform a borderline dance with such class! Not vulgar at all!]
[I’m a girl, and I’m kind of falling for her, what’s going on?]
TTYY fell silent for a long while.
Last time, he sent Floral Wine 500,000 to dance this, and her perfunctory attitude annoyed him.
But since she was the one he liked, he let it go.
Now, the little girl he had just deliberately set up danced for him without hesitation, learning on the spot and performing with genuine care and seriousness. His disappointment was even greater.
When the music stopped, Lin Beibei sat back down in front of the camera, slightly embarrassed: “It’s my first time dancing, so it might not be very good. I hope family will forgive me. Next time, I’ll study harder.”
[You danced so beautifully, I couldn’t get enough!]
TTYY: [Do it again.]
Facing TTYY, who had just tricked her, her eyes shone with a generous, sweet smile: “Sure, Brother TT. But since I just lost the PK, if I dance again, that’ll be one dance for a sports car, okay?”
