Chapter 54.2: You Want to Hold My Hand? (2)

Yuan Yao was a little-known streamer from a small streaming website. She earned her keep by posting videos of her visits to cosmetics stores. 

Today, she brought her equipment out to a fairly expensive Western brunch restaurant to review it for her viewers. She had talked to the staff beforehand and promised them not to disturb or film the other customers. After swiftly setting up her equipment, she started her stream.

She had already ordered her food in advance, but she still took the trouble to introduce the restaurants specialty to her viewers. After that, she showed them the full menu and the prices. 

Thats pretty much it for the introduction. Well be waiting for the food to come now. I feel like a rich young madame eating a 188 dollar brunch set. Yuan Yao rubbed her hands together expectantly. Lets pray that my 188 dollar brunch set is worth the price. My hard-earned money cant go to waste!

While waiting for her Egg Benedicts to be served, Yuan Yao began chatting about her daily life with her fans. 

In the midst of her chat, she noticed a couple walking into the restaurant and taking a seat two tables away from her. She couldnt resist gossiping with her fans, Ooh, I spotted a handsome guy and a gorgeous babe. They look just like models. What a pity that I cant film others here, or else we could have eye-candied them together.

The chat replied to her with Good things should be shared! Lemme see, lemme see!.

There was no way Yuan Yao could just bring random strangers into her streamshe at least had that much tact. It was one thing for strangers to accidentally appear on her stream on the street, but turning her camera over to film others in a restaurant was way too conspicuous.

Besides, there are two of them there and only one of me here. What if they beat me up?

Humans were naturally drawn to pretty things. Yuan Yao began digging into her Eggs Benedict while providing her fans with real-time reactions, but her eyes wouldnt stop drifting over to look at the couple.

That guy is good-looking, but that woman is drop-dead gorgeous! How could those stinky men hold a candle to sweet-scented ladies?

Yuan Yao made sure to take her time eating so that she could get a few more looks in. When the couple finished their meal and began taking their leave, she sighed in disappointment. 

What happened next was beyond her imagination.

Oh? Another hottie entered the restaurant. He looked a little young Holy shit, is that what they mean by love triangle? What an intense atmosphere! Are they going to come to blows? Yuan Yao whispered with a hushed voice.

The chat: We dont ask you to show us their faces, but you should at least let us listen to the fresh gossip!

Yuan Yao secretly adjusted her mic toward the couple plus one. She took a casual glance around and saw that many of the customers were looking over as well. The desire for gossip was innate in all humans.

The couple plus one were two tables away, and they werent speaking loudly either. Yuan Yao couldnt tell how much the mic was able to take in, but she did manage to catch everything loud and clear.

How exciting!

Be it the You shouldnt cause a scene here or What about the time we have spent together?, Yuan Yao could easily imagine a ten thousand words dog-blooded novel. 

Between the old flame and the new lover, which one does her heart truly belong to?

Yuan Yao pricked up her ears, not wanting to miss out on a single word. This dramatic scene was eventually concluded with the couples departure. 

Messages like What happened afterward?, Did they start fighting?, and Damn! I just brought my earpiece over, and the fight is already over? could be seen flashing across the live stream. 

Yuan Yao whispered into the mic with a secretive look on her face, The other hottie hasnt left yet. He sat down at the couples table. Oof, he looks like hes going to murder someone. Hes fiddling with his phone right now Haha, even the waiter doesnt dare collect the plates Ey? He gulped down the beverage that the gorgeous babe was drinking earlier Ah?

The chat: Looks like your 188 dollars was well-spent.

Yuan Yao: I cant deny that.

Yuan Yao later edited the love triangle video and uploaded it online. It unexpectedly went viral, becoming one of the recommended videos of the website that very night. Lots of curious netizens enjoyed the gossip fodder and shared it around.

The fighting trio never appeared on camera, but the streamer mentioned that they were two hotties and a babe. That further stoked curiosity about the entire fiasco.
