Ah Nan posted a stream announcement on Xiang Yi’s Weibo account. Once it was time, the fans flooded the channel in an instant.

In the past year, Xiang Yi had been a prime example of someone who couldn’t do anything in the entertainment industry, but she was first place when it came to crying. When she acted, she’d count 1234, stare widely, and pout; when she sang, her voice would be out of tune. One song could anger a dozen sound editors.

‘Vase fairy’* was the nickname she was gifted by the public.

But even so, Xiang Yi still had a group of diehard fans who liked her appearance.

—[Ah ah ah where is she where is she!]

—[Sissy Yi, I’ve missed you SO much! ]

—[Obediently squatting here waiting for my beautiful girl]

—[Ah Nan’s floral shirt looks good today, please send a link chu chu chu]

“Today, our dear sweetheart will stream her cooking for everyone! Are you taken by surprise? Is this unexpected? I think everyone must feel the same way I do, anticipating what dishes our sweetheart will cook for us…”

Ah Nan greeted everyone. He often streamed alongside Xiang Yi, so her fans were very friendly toward him.

He turned to approach Xiang Yi, “Sweetie, say hi to everyone.”

Xiang Yi naturally responded, “Good afternoon, have you all eaten? I’m going to make egg fried rice.”

She saw a row of text flashing in the bottom left corner of the screen and curiously looked down to see what the comments were.

In the perspective of the fans—

There was a fair-skinned girl whose cheeks were a little rounder than they had been during her last appearance. Her skin was delicate and smooth with a cream-like texture, and her beauty was striking if one were to look closely!

For a while, the barrage of live comments** were all saying “Ahhhh I’m dead”, “Sister’s beautiful face has slayed me”, and “I’m full on her beauty”.

Xiang Yi looked at them for a while longer and realized that netizens were an interesting bunch no matter what planet she was on.

She stepped back a distance and smiled slightly. “Egg fried rice is easy to make. Aside from the necessary rice and eggs, you can also adjust the ingredients according to your own preference. Today, I’ve prepared green beans, carrots, mushrooms, shrimp, and ham.”

She had already washed the ingredients, which were neatly placed inside an azure porcelain bowl that looked pleasing to the eye.

One live comment says: [Let me ask you meekly, is that porcelain bowl part of the celadon ‘Mist Rain’ series that was produced by Xizhou Porcelain?]

—[Lmao, do you know how much the ‘Mist Rain’ series cost? That is a goddamn collectible, who’s going to use it as tableware?!]

Soon, these two comments got drowned in the comments…

Ah Nan was thinking to himself that perhaps his sweet dear had watched a mukbang stream… Her actions seemed quite professional…

He almost believed she could cook.

“Click—” Xiang Yi turned on the gas stove. Once the oil was hot, she sprinkled the chopped green onions in.

The peculiar fragrance of scallion oil rushed into his nose. He didn’t know if it was because of the freshness of the ingredients, but Ah Nan felt that it smelled particularly good. It didn’t contain the greasy smell of regular cooking oil at all.

Translator’s Notes:

* A “vase” is a term often used to describe people who were young and attractive, usually women, but were dumb, talentless, and useless.

** Chinese Live comments are similar to Twitch chat or YouTube live chat, except the comments float across the video in real time while the user is streaming instead of in a sidebar.
