He Yuan, the genius architecture student at the Polytechnic University, is aloof and speaks little—dedicated solely to drawing, with markers in hand from dawn till dusk. At 10 PM, He Yuan opens his live stream for swatch testing— He Yuan: Shade No. 12, looks good, buy it. (calm.jpg) He Yuan: This is the texture of smearing cement on your lips, drying like paving asphalt. (indifferent.jpg) Comment 1: Weren’t beauty streamers supposed to be sassy? Did this up just return from a construction site? 2333 Comment 2: With lips so迷人 yet words so毒人, this streamer is next-level hardcore— Comment 3: Aaaah why am I getting color-swiped by a straight male streamer?! IT’S SO DAMN PRETTY!!! Next door, Xiao An, a freshman at the Medical University, is perpetually exhausted—falling asleep the moment he hits the desk, clutching a scalpel from class to class. At 8 PM, Xiao An opens his dark cuisine live stream— Xiao An: Today, we’ll attempt to perform miracles on Häagen-Dazs using a pack of pickled vegetables. Applause, please. Xiao An: For bones, cut at the joints—mostly fibrous connective tissue inside, easy to slice. Comment 1: Crying again over this guy’s minty voice— Comment 2: Kiddo, weren’t you sleeping?! How do you remember every word the teacher says?! Comment 3: Someone take him away pls it’s my first time seeing someone so serious about crafting dark cuisine QAQ ====================== A website’s anniversary event forces these two, who initially disliked each other, to reassess— He Yuan: …You’re a streamer too? Xiao An: (Holy shit the streamer I finally took a liking to is someone I can’t stand QAQ) To protect their online personas, the two decide to move in together. From then on, their streams take a new turn— He Yuan: Today’s try-on is a limited-edition shade for Arbor Day… Comments: IS THAT YOUR BOYFRIEND WALKING BEHIND YOU?! Aaaah applying lipstick for you is too sweet!!! Xiao An: …A masterfully crafted horse-hoof sugar-coated hawthorn and herbal jelly is done. (He Yuan passes by and takes a scoop.) Comments: Aaaah someone finally ate the kid’s cooking!!! This old mother is bawling TAT
