“Little brother, you weren’t around that evening. Perhaps you don’t understand my feelings. I was bullied by the other live streamers who had big brothers backing them in last few weeks.”

“But the appearance of Autumn Army on the Battlefield that night uplifted me. That feeling of being protected by a big brother is so awesome.”

Lin Qian saw that Chu Yang seemed unable to understand her words, so she explained her feelings.

“Little brother, have you followed my live broadcast? When Autumn Army on the Battlefield appears again, you can get to know him.” After chit-chatting for a while, Lin Qian mentioned.

“Uh-huh, I followed. I’m your fan too.” Chu Yang answered her as if it was a matter of fact.

“Haha, that’s not bad. Little brother, what’s your username? If you come to my chat room, given our friendship, I’ll make you my chat room’s admin.”

Lin Qian said excitedly after hearing that Chu Yang was also a fan of her chat room.

This little brother had previously lent her his limited-edition LaFerrari for her live stream. She had not thanked him properly yet. Although there weren’t any practical benefits, making him the admin of her chat room was a way of expressing her gratitude.

“No, there’s no need. It’s pretty good for me to be your fan. There’s no need to be an admin, right?”

After hearing Lin Qian’s words, Chu Yang felt awkward. Would she be scared away if she knew that he was the Autumn Army on the Battlefield?

“Little brother, you didn’t follow my stream, did you? Were you lying to me just now?” Lin Qian saw the strange expression on Chu Yang’s face and thought that he had not followed her live stream, thus fearing he would be exposed.

“No. How is that possible? I’m your loyal fan. How can I not follow you? It’s just…” Chu Yang suddenly did not know how to continue.

“Alright, then tell me your username. I’ll see if I can find you among the fans in my chat room. It’s alright. I won’t let you buy gifts. It’s good enough that you could watch my live broadcast.”

Looking at Chu Yang’s stammering expression, Lin Qian thought he was worried that she might ask him to buy gifts in the chat room.

“It’s not the case. It’s because…” After hearing Lin Qian’s words, Chu Yang was speechless. Does he look like he cared about the money for buying gifts?

“If it’s not the case, then what is it? Oh, I know, little brother, did you choose an embarrassing username? Don’t worry, and I won’t laugh at you.”

Chu Yang’s stammering expression made Lin Qian think he must be shy if it wasn’t about the gifts.

Why would he be shy? It must be his online username. It was embarrassing. After all, some people were wild on the internet, despite appearing normal in real life. The little brother seemed to be one of those.

Therefore, Lin Qian took the opportunity when Chu Yang was not paying attention. She took his phone from the table.

“Sigh, don’t.” Chu Yang saw Lin Qian’s action. As he held a skewer in his hand, it was too late to stop Lin Qian. He could only watch as she took his phone away.

“Don’t worry, little brother. I won’t invade your privacy. I won’t tease you either.”

Because Chu Yang’s phone didn’t have a password, Lin Qian was able to unlock the phone after she got it.

“Little brother, you shouldn’t be so shy. After all, you’re someone who drives a supercar. How can you be so shy? How are you going to pick up girls in the future?”

Seeing how nervous he was when she got Chu Yang’s phone, Lin Qian was even more confident that Chu Yang must be shy.

Lin Qian opened the live streaming app on Chu Yang’s phone. At this time, Chu Yang realized that the situation was no longer under his control, so he could only lower his head silently while eating the skewers.

“Let me take a look at little brother’s username.” Lin Qian smiled at Chu Yang.

“Autumn Army on the Battlefield… Wow, little brother, your username is similar to the big brother who gifted me before. However, he has a level-two account. He just leveled up to level seven a few days ago. Little brother, what’s your level?”

“Level seven?” Lin Qian scrolled down Chu Yang’s profile page and was stunned when she found out that Chu Yang was also level seven.

“Little brother, you are Autumn Army on the Battlefield, aren’t you?” Lin Qian looked at Chu Yang’s face with a fascinating expression.

“Yes, that’s right. I am Autumn Army on the Battlefield.”

“But don’t misunderstand. I gifted you that day because I saw that the streamer across from me had gone too far. I was so angry that I had to stand up for you.” Chu Yang saw that Lin Qian’s expression was somewhat solemn and hurriedly explained.

“Then, little brother, are you saying that my live stream isn’t exciting enough to attract you?” After hearing Chu Yang’s words, Lin Qian’s initially calm heart immediately had a ripple. She clenched her teeth and asked Chu Yang.

“Of course not. Your live stream is fascinating. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have clicked in to watch it, right?” Chu Yang also realized that he seemed to have said something wrong.

“Little brother, you lied to me.” Lin Qian said with a straight face. After hearing Chu Yang’s good words, she did not respond.

“I’m sorry, Lin Qian. I didn’t do it on purpose. I just haven’t thought about how to tell you. You can punish me however you want now. As long as you can forgive me.”

Hearing Lin Qian’s cold tone, Chu Yang knew that he had angered her.

“PFFT, you can redeem yourself by treating me to this meal.” Seeing Chu Yang’s remorse, Lin Qian could no longer maintain her straight face. She smiled and said to Chu Yang.

“Lin Qian, what are you doing?” Chu Yang saw Lin Qian’s face turn from cloudy to clear. He looked at Lin Qian.

“Little brother, I’m not angry.” Seeing Chu Yang’s puzzled expression, Lin Qian smiled and explained to him.

“Aren’t you angry that I lied to you?”

“I was a little angry at first, but didn’t you apologize just now? And you’re my big brother in my chat room. How could I be angry with you?” Lin Qian said to Chu Yang while eating the skewers.

“And you are my friend. What’s there to be angry about when you realize that your big brother in your chat room is also your friend? I should be happy.” Lin Qian said to Chu Yang with a smile.

“But little brother Chu Yang, I realized that your skin is thick. You praised yourself just now,” Lin Qian teased.

At this time, Chu Yang could only awkwardly scratch the back of his head in the face of Lin Qian’s teasing.

“Haha, little brother is so cute.”

“Little brother, today’s meal is on you. I’m leaving first. Don’t lie to girls in the future.” Lin Qian took a skewer before walking out of the noodle shop.

Chu Yang saw Lin Qian walk out of the noodle shop and shook his head with a smile. He was scared by her just now.

“Today’s meal doesn’t count. Next time, I’ll treat you to a better meal when you’re free.” Chu Yang took out his phone and sent Lin Qian a Wechat message before he continued eating.

…

“Phew, fortunately, I didn’t give myself away.”

As soon as Lin Qian walked out of the shop, she quickly walked to another street. Patting her chest, she began to gasp for breath.

After knowing that little brother Chu Yang was the big brother Autumn Army on the Battlefield in her chat room, Lin Qian’s first reaction was an embarrassment.

She had bragged in front of him for so long. She talked about what kind of person Autumn Army on the Battlefield could be and even showed him the admiration of a bit of fangirl. It was pretty embarrassing.

“My performance just now should have scared him,” Lin Qian thought silently in her heart.

“If little brother Chu Yang comes to my chat room in the future, how should I face him? Isn’t it a little awkward to pretend everything is as usual?”

After calming herself down, Lin Qian thought about this issue again. Perhaps she did not realize that Chu Yang had already left an impression in her heart..
