Chapter 749: Endless Fatherly Love
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
'Since you all are so intent on calling me dad, I'll show you the true meaning of fatherly love.'
Liu Zilang nearly pissed himself trying to hold back his laughter!
He feigned an unwilling face. "Nah… I don't think I'm up for it. I was only joking."
The people in the live stream pressed on the advantage when they saw Liu Zilang trying to chicken out.
It was a rare opportunity that they could watch Liu Zilang admit defeat. How could they let him off so easily?
Of course, some people in the channel had sensed that something was not quite right.
Liu Zilang had been streaming for a long time. Every time they watched him stream matches or made bets with his followers, he never put himself at a disadvantage.
What happened next was within his expectations.
Liu Zilang, still carrying an awkward expression, walked diagonally toward the back.
The crowd of ten or so girls had been following Liu Zilang's procession for a while now. It would have been impossible for them to say they did not know who he was.
The truth was that they had spotted Liu Zilang going around with his selfie stick. Unfortunately for them, males were the overwhelming majority of the group, and most of them were by themselves. Hence, they did not dare go forward.
A lot of his fans were like this, that was why the crowd behind him grew in size only after he had started moving.
Now that Liu Zilang was approaching them, they were both nervous and excited!
In the channel, these girls were all dirty-minded fujoshis that sent lewd messages at the drop of a hat.
In real life though, they were all shy and reserved maidens.
"Hello!" Liu Zilang greeted them with a smile. "Are you all followers of my channel?"
The girls started to loosen up when they saw Liu Zilang had taken the initiative to greet them. They started chatting, and some of them took out their smartphones for a selfie.
"Heheh, how about saying hi to the viewers in the live stream?" Liu Zilang said while smiling, "They think that my girl fans don't exist. Even now they might think you're an illusion."
Liu Zilang managed to find so many girl fans within ten seconds that there was still a lot of time before the minute was up.
Everyone in the live stream channel was shocked. Someone replied first.
"F*ck! That b*stard is cheating!"
"He must've seen them earlier."
"Ah! You got me! I admit that I've been tricked."
"I don't think this counts! Vic is too cunning."
"…"
Seeing that his followers were starting to make excuses, Liu Zilang could only smile and say, "A bet is a bet. Even if I saw them before I made the bet, that just means that my eyesight is better than yours."
"That's right!"
"Who doesn't have a few online dads these days?"
The throng of girl fans around him covered their mouths and laughed, showing their support toward him.
The people in the live stream channel felt painful stabs to their chests when they saw that Liu Zilang indeed had girl fans. Not to mention, they were even supporting him.
Suddenly, someone in the bullet screen raised a question.
"Didn't you say you would find ten girl fans? Are you sure there's enough in the group?"
"That's right! Even if you have girl fans, you still lose if there aren't ten!"
"Grasping at straws, aren't we?" Liu Zilang shook his head and smiled. "Alright, let me shatter your fantasies then."
He pointed his smartphone camera toward the group of girls one by one.
In front of the camera, some of them were extroverted, and they waved at the camera with a big smile. On the other hand, some of them were reserved, and they either covered their faces or smiled while covering their mouths.
After a cursory scan, Liu Zilang continued speaking while barely suppressing his smile, "See that? There are eleven of them. The followers here can bear witness to that."
The viewers in the live stream were plunged into despair!
However, just then, someone in the crowd of followers chimed in, "Wait a minute, those two on the far left. They don't look like girls?"
"Well, they can't be guys, can they?" Liu Zilang chuckled.
He turned his head over.
He remembered that the two girls on the left had covered their faces when he pointed the camera at them. They seemed shy.
He took a closer look and was stunned!
'F*ck… why do they look like guys?'
The two people noticed that all eyes were on them, and they figured that their cover had been blown.
They cleared their throats and greeted Liu Zilang in deep manly voices.
The two people were even dorm mates. They thought that they would prank him at the convention by crossdressing. Who would have guessed that he would have made a bet with his followers to look for girl fans?
The one who pointed out their disguise was a roommate of the two crossdressers. The three of them had come to the convention together.
Liu Zilang was speechless when the image of a guy traveling to the convention with two crossdressers who were his dorm mates appeared in his mind.
So the problem remained.
The crossdressers could not be considered as girls. Taking away those two, he only had nine girl fans left.
Exactly one short.
The tables seemed to have turned on Liu Zilang. Everyone in the live stream channel started to put on airs once more as if they could not wait to display their 'fatherly love'.
If looks could kill, Liu Zilang's glare would have left two craters where the two crossdressers stood. It felt like a trap.
Just as the people at the venue and in the live stream were beginning to raise a riot, Liu Zilang seemed to have remembered something.
"Wait, I remember we promised 'ten girl fans in a minute'. I still have about twenty seconds!" He cried out.
Like a 'Running Man' contestant, he went searching high and low for the elusive final girl fan.
There were people all around. It was impossible for him to go around asking girls one by one if they knew him.
He could only judge by looking at their eyes.
He met eyes with a few girls, but they did not seem like they knew who he was.
"Bahaha, Vic thinks that he's Master Ze! You're not going to get as many girl fans as him."
"Stop struggling. Just call us daddy!"
"We won't take screenshots. Well, maybe a short clip to commemorate this event."
With only five seconds left, Liu Zilang's anxiety was turning into despair.
As he turned his head one final time, he saw a huge yellow object amid the crowd.
He looked closely and saw that it was a life-sized Pikachu looking at him.
'Wait! Pikachu?'
Liu Zilang suddenly had a brainwave!
Clutching onto his last straw of hope, he ran over and took off the head of the Pikachu.
Their four eyes met.
Who could it have been if not for Qin Xuanxuan?
Liu Zilang was grateful to see her there. However, at the same time, he was questioning her sanity.
This senior in college was a die-hard Pikachu fan.
It was his third time meeting her in an offline convention, and she was dressed in a Pikachu suit each time they met.
'Won't she get tired of this?'
It was not the time to ponder on such problems. Liu Zilang winked at her and then asked rapidly.
"Hello, fellow student! Would you like to be part of our new video? I want to ask you, have you watched my live streams?"
Qin Xuanxuan had already spotted him being thronged by a crowd. That was why she was looking at him.
She heard Liu Zilang's question and knew what he implied. "Yes, I've seen it before. What about it?" she replied.
"Thank you so, so much!" Liu Zilang bowed while grasping at the Pikachu suit's spongy hands.
He then turned around to face the fans of his channel. "Not one more, not one less. An honest bet."
Everyone in the live-stream channel went cross-eyed!
They had not expected Liu Zilang to be able to randomly find someone in a Pikachu suit in the convention hall…
Not only that, the person inside was a good-looking girl, and she followed his channel…
'Is this real the life?'
…
