Chapter 291 Flu
Chapter 291 Flu
After Feng Huang and Gu Dao Ge went online, Zhang Xiaoyu continued streaming for another hour before gracefully logging off.
I've been broadcasting for a really long time today. It started around 2 PM and it's past 8 PM now, almost 6 hours. I'm not far from becoming a full-time streamer.
She's still a college student!
Zhang Xiaoyu was almost impressed with her own diligence!
Although live streaming is quite relaxing, it's still a job after all, and the time isn't entirely my own.
The feeling after the broadcast ends is completely different; it's time that truly belongs to me, a time of complete relaxation.
Although she just told everyone that the reason for ending the broadcast was that she wanted to rest for a while and then read a book... it seems that she is always trying to create the image of a good student who loves to study.
But that's how students make excuses. The most legitimate reason is to study, which is perfectly justifiable and a great reason.
All of her fans are very supportive of her.
Even Feng Huang had nothing to say about this, after all, studying was his main job, and he didn't want the streamer to neglect his studies for the sake of live streaming.
Zhang Xiaoyu felt a little guilty.
Then she video-chatted with her best friend, Shu Han.
"Hanhan, you're back in the dorm so early today?"
Normally, the other person is in the library at this time. Zhang Xiaoyu only video-called the other person after chatting for a few minutes and knowing that the other person was not in the library.
Shu Han sat on a chair in the dormitory and smiled: "Yes, the library is closed today."
Zhang Xiaoyu: "I knew it, I almost forgot about this."
Before we knew it, we had been chatting for almost half an hour. We had so much to talk about, from what we ate for breakfast to what we ate for lunch, and the topics just kept coming together.
Although it may seem like a lot of meaningless chatter, when you chat with friends, it's all about feelings. The content isn't important; what matters is that the care and longing between you are well conveyed.
Shu Han: "By the way, Xiao Yu, there's been a bird flu outbreak in the city recently. You'd better avoid crowded places. Also, it's safer to wear a mask when you go out. Do you have a mask?"
Zhang Xiaoyu exclaimed in surprise, "Bird flu? I don't think I've felt anything!"
Shu Han: "Maybe it's because I'm a medical student that I pay more attention to this kind of information, so I'm reminding you to take precautions to avoid getting sick."
Zhang Xiaoyu nodded obediently: "Okay~ I'll do whatever you say. But I don't usually wear masks, so I'll buy a pack tomorrow and wear it."
Zhang Xiaoyu asked her in return, "Do you have any masks over there? You should wear them properly too."
Shu Han nodded: "Yes, these are essential supplies for medical students."
As he spoke, he picked out a box of blue face masks from the side that looked like a very common style.
Zhang Xiaoyu nodded: "That's good, thank you for reminding me, Hanhan~ I feel like I won't get sick when you're around."
Shu Han smiled helplessly: "You're overthinking it. I can only offer you a little bit of preventative information. You also need to take good care of yourself, go to bed early and get up early, and exercise regularly to stay healthy and avoid getting sick."
Zhang Xiaoyu started to feel guilty again; she usually didn't go to bed until 12 or 1 a.m. every day. But for a college student, going to bed at that time is actually considered early, right?
She heard that many students in her class often stayed up late playing video games, and some even played games until three or four in the morning before going to sleep.
Zhang Xiaoyu nodded: "When there are no more morning self-study sessions, I'll go for a run in the morning."
Shu Han simply smiled and nodded. She knew her friend didn't actually like sports. But even if it was just an empty promise now, who knew it might come true in the future?
"By the way, I watched your live stream. I think you did a great job, and you're especially cute."
"Oh!" Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes widened in surprise, and she felt inexplicably embarrassed. "Hanhan, you watched my live stream? When? How come I didn't know?"
She's completely open with her best friend, sharing everything about her livestreaming account, her usual livestreaming activities, and even all the big spenders she's ever talked to.
Because sometimes she was unsure about certain things, Shu Han was able to offer her some good advice from an objective perspective to help her.
She loved this friend very much.
Shu Han smiled and said, "I've looked at it a few times before, but not for long. Sometimes when I miss you, I'll take a look."
Zhang Xiaoyu covered her face, which was already flushed: "Really, if you miss me, just video call me."
They video chat several times a week, so there's no need to go to a live streaming app to watch her.
Shu Han: "Sometimes I also want to see a different side of Xiaoyu, hmm, the side that leans towards work? I'll suddenly realize and find it very novel, so this is what Xiaoyu is like at work."
"I think you're amazing, really great."
Zhang Xiaoyu suddenly realized, "You didn't send me any gifts, did you?"
Shu Han hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "I didn't spend much, just a few small gifts."
Zhang Xiaoyu said earnestly, "Don't send me gifts, it's a real waste of money. Half of it goes to the platform, and I don't want you to lose money~"
"Watch if you want, video call me if you want. But don't send me any gifts, I'll feel like I'm missing out."
Moreover, Shu Han's family background was similar to hers, and they were both quite ordinary. Zhang Xiaoyu knew that the other party simply wanted to support and encourage her, but she didn't need that approach.
Zhang Xiaoyu: "Hanhan, you saw my live stream, right? I'm doing pretty well now, although I don't know how long it will last, but I've already made quite a bit of money~"
"I'll receive my first paycheck in two days. Will you come with me for a big meal then?"
Shu Han nodded: "Okay."
Zhang Xiaoyu: "Please don't send me any more gifts, okay?"
Shu Han: "Yeah, I won't swipe anymore."
Zhang Xiaoyu chatted happily for another half hour before finally hanging up the video call.
Zhou Yueling: "Xiaoyu, are you video chatting with your best friend again? You two are really close. I think you spend more time video chatting with her than with your family."
Zhang Xiaoyu: "Because she is my family, we are like sisters, she cares for me like an older sister."
Zhou Yueling: "Haha, I can tell."
Zhang Xiaoyu remembered what Shu Han had just reminded her of and mentioned it to her roommates, telling them to be careful lately and to wear masks when going out.
Chen Shiya: "It seems like I've run out of masks."
Zhou Yueling shrugged: "Me too."
Zhang Xiaoyu: "Then let's go buy it together tomorrow."
"Okay."
The next day, after class, they went to buy face masks.
Zhang Xiaoyu was shocked: "So many styles!"
There was a whole shelf in front of me with rows of face masks hanging on it, and they looked really cute, with all sorts of patterns and colors.
Zhou Yueling: "I feel like this mask could totally be used as an accessory. It's so cute, and this one is so cute too!"
As she spoke, she had already gathered five or six boxes of face masks in her hand.
Xia Yiqing quickly picked out a plain black bag: "I'll take this one."
Chen Shiya: "Yiqing, aren't you going to pick something cute?"
Xia Yiqing: "This one is also quite nice, it's simple and clean. I think the others are a bit too flashy."
Zhou Yueling: "Don't you think these look better on me, Yiqing?"
Xia Yiqing shook her head.
Zhang Xiaoyu couldn't resist choosing a mask with a magical kitten pattern; she thought it was very cute.
Chen Shiya bought a pink face mask with a rabbit pattern, while Zhou Yueling went much further, saying she wanted to buy all five or six of the bags she had in her hand!
They tried to persuade her for a long time, saying that she couldn't possibly use all of them, before she reluctantly kept her three favorites.
I also glanced at other small items and before I knew it, I had bought quite a few keychains, sticky notes, and the like.
Finally, we went to eat hot pot together.
