It was around five or six o 'clock in the evening when he got home.
The housekeeping auntie was busy cooking in the kitchen and greeted Liu Zilang when she saw him.
After Liu Zilang changed his shoes, he poured a glass of water in the living room, picked up the remote control and sat on the sofa to change the channel.
At that time, Zhang Xiaotong's door was closed and there was a faint sound of singing. She might still be live streaming.
Liu Zilang originally wanted to thank her for what happened in the afternoon but after thinking about it, he decided not to disturb her live streaming. He planned to wait until dinner time.
Soon, the housekeeping auntie was done cooking. She took off her apron and said goodbye to Liu Zilang before leaving the house.
Liu Zilang was about to ask Zhang Xiaotong to eat together when she happened to open the door.
Zhang Xiaotong's door had just opened a gap when she saw Liu Zilang.
Then, she suddenly screamed and closed the door with a bang. She seemed to be a little panicked.
On the sofa in the living room, Liu Zilang who raised his hand to greet her was stunned and scratched his head.
'What do you mean?'
'Scared by me?'
.....
A moment later, Zhang Xiaotong opened the door again and came out.
Her little face looked red. Her gaze swept past Liu Zilang who was sitting on the sofa and suddenly drifted to the side. She went to the kitchen to take the dishes back to the bedroom.
However, when she passed by the living room again, Liu Zilang who was sitting on the sofa smiled and said, "Xiaotong, let's eat in the living room tonight."
Zhang Xiaotong was startled when she heard that and her movements instantly became a little stiff.
However, she still slowly placed the dishes on the dining table in the living room. She lowered her head and quietly picked at the food. Her expression seemed to be a little shy.
When Liu Zilang saw that, he looked at her strangely. He did not know why the usually cold little girl had become like this today.
After going to the kitchen to take out his portion, Liu Zilang sat opposite Zhang Xiaotong and said with a smile, "Thank you for the afternoon. I didn't expect you to watch my live stream."
"No … It's okay." Zhang Xiaotong's little face blushed as she whispered in panic.
After saying that, she noticed that Liu Zilang who was sitting across the table was looking at her with a smile.
Zhang Xiaotong suddenly snorted and then turned her head. She pouted and said, "I didn't watch it on purpose. I … I just accidentally clicked in and quickly exited."
"Uh …" Liu Zilang's mouth twitched. He was speechless.
This lass was just shy and timid. Why did she suddenly become tsundere as she spoke?
Furthermore, he clearly watched me until the end of the match before leaving. He really wasn't honest at all!
But this time, looking at her arrogant look …
She was quite cute.
Liu Zilang chuckled and did not expose her.
Hearing Liu Zilang's chuckle, Zhang Xiaotong's face started to turn red again.
She suddenly raised her head and glared at Liu Zilang fiercely like a little tiger. Then, she lowered her head and fiercely picked up a piece of vegetable with her chopsticks, as if she was treating it as Liu Zilang.
Little did she know that in Liu Zilang's eyes, not only did she not look like a spoiled brat, she looked even cuter.
No, no!
My sister can't be this cute …
Liu Zilang shook his head.
Illusion!
This must all be an illusion.
.....
Halfway through her meal, Zhang Xiaotong suddenly remembered something.
She stole a glance at Liu Zilang who was sitting opposite her. She bit her pink lips but did not say anything.
After that, every once in a while, she would raise her head and steal a glance at Liu Zilang.
This way, even if Liu Zilang was too slow, he would still be able to react.
He looked at Zhang Xiaotong with a puzzled look and said, "If you continue like this, you'll bite through your lips."
All of a sudden, Zhang Xiaotong's ears turned red.
She glared at Liu Zilang and pouted. Finally, she said, "Ming … Our school has a sports day tomorrow."
"Hmm, that's pretty good."
Liu Zilang took a bite of his food and asked casually, "You're participating too?"
"Yes." Zhang Xiaotong nodded slightly.
Liu Zilang was quietly waiting for her to continue. He did not expect Zhang Xiaotong to stop talking after she nodded.
He could not help but look at Zhang Xiaotong strangely. He did not understand what she meant.
Thinking back to the sports day when he was in junior high, Liu Zilang suddenly remembered that he had signed up for a long-distance race. At that time, his father even went to school to cheer him on.
'Wait a minute!
'So, what does Zhang Xiaotong mean by telling me this …
'Does she want me to go to school to cheer for her tomorrow?'
Liu Zilang was stunned for a moment before he suddenly came to a realization.
Thinking about this, he could not help but smile and said, "Soo ga, it just so happens that I'm free tomorrow. Why don't I go to your school to watch the race and cheer for you?
Just treat it as a repayment for this afternoon. "
Hearing Liu Zilang's words, Zhang Xiaotong's little face lit up. Two shallow dimples appeared, but they quickly disappeared.
Then, she lowered her head and said with a slightly stuttering tone, "You don't have to repay me, it's … it's up to you."
Hearing this, Liu Zilang chuckled. He now had his own "translation" for this girl's tsundere words.
Since she said this, it meant that she was quite happy in her heart. It was just that she did not show it.
However, this was good as well. After all, the two of them did not have a good relationship.
If they suddenly became too close, it would be a little weird. It was actually not bad to be able to slowly close the distance between them.
Liu Zilang originally wanted to ask Zhang Xiaotong what event she had signed up for in the sports day. However, seeing that the girl obviously did not plan to tell him, he did not ask anymore. After all, he would find out tomorrow.
Speaking of which, the Affiliated High School of Jianghai University was also his alma mater in junior high …
Therefore, Liu Zilang suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation for the sports day tomorrow.
.....
After finishing their meal, the two of them put away the bowls and chopsticks and returned to their respective rooms.
After Liu Zilang turned on his computer in his room and logged into Douyu, he suddenly realized that his streamer's backend had received a message from the site.
Out of curiosity, he opened it to take a look. It turned out to be a streamer's intention to sign a contract with Douyu's backend.
After all, there were two types of streamers on Douyu.
The first type were small streamers who had just started streaming and did not have any popularity. Their usual income was only a share of gifts. The other type were streamers who had signed a contract. After signing the contract, they would have to stream on Douyu for a certain amount of time every month. Then, Douyu would pay them a basic salary.
In comparison, the latter type was a stepping stone for many streamers, but at the same time, it was also a restriction.
This was because after signing the contract, although Douyu would recommend you, there was also a time limit for you to sign a contract. This was not very good for streamers who had more potential and room for growth.
The reason why Liu Zilang received the message that night was probably because of the strength that he had displayed in the afternoon's live stream and the popularity and attention that Zhang Xiaotong had brought. The platform had seen his potential and wanted to sign him before he had fully grown.
If Liu Zilang was a newbie who had just entered the industry and received a message to sign a contract after just one week of streaming, he would probably be fantasizing about a beautiful tomorrow.
Unfortunately, he was not one.
Therefore, when he saw the message and the contract attached to it, Liu Zilang chuckled and closed it.
He did not have any urgent need for money at the moment, so he was not in a hurry to sign the contract. It was better to wait and see.
Even if the other party really wanted to sign the contract.
However, in Liu Zilang's eyes, this bit of sincerity was obviously not enough.
In the upcoming live stream, what he needed to do was to use his strength to make Douyu show its true sincerity.
