211: Chapter 211 Remember, you guys are the best!

Chen Yu's livestream room.

A scene of pure harmony.

Chen Yu's background was no longer a dim basement, but a bright, airy room.

The sunlight and the air there felt completely different.

Fan: [By the way, when are you releasing an album?]

Chen Yu: "Are you guys really in such a hurry to give me money?"

Fan: [Then can you release an album for free?]

Chen Yu: "Are you going to cover the production costs for me?"

Fan: [Spread the word, Chen Yu only cares about money!]

Chen Yu: "Alright, alright. Whatever song you want to hear, type it in the chat!"

[We want to hear a new song, something we've never heard before. Compose one on the spot!]

[Right, have you prepared the songs for your new variety show? Can you give us a teaser?]

[Yeah, yeah! I'm super excited for your performance. It's your first time in such a big competition; are you nervous?]

Chen Yu joked half-seriously, "Do you think my level of talent would allow me to be nervous?"

[Wow! Chen Yu is so greasy!]

Chen Yu glanced at the scrolling comments, a playful smile playing on his lips.

Chen Yu: "Greasy? Fine, then I'll be greasy to the max today!"

Chen Yu suddenly leaned closer to the camera and lowered his voice, "My friend, that takeout crayfish you ordered last night... were you really too stingy to save a portion for me?"

The comment section exploded instantly—

[??? How did you know I had crayfish last night?!]

[Help! Did he even hack the delivery monitor?!]

[Bro, why are you suddenly teasing us like this?! Aaaaah!]

[Why do I think he's actually pretty handsome?]

"Didn't you want a new song?"

"Listen up, I'll improvise one for you!"

Chen Yu grabbed a guitar and began to play and sing spontaneously.

"They say top stars shouldn't eat at night market stalls,

But braised crayfish shines brighter than any trophy's calls,

If dreams were a bowl of spicy mala tang so grand,

I'd rather burn my fingertips than let it leave my hand~"

In Chen Yu's livestream, the guitar music faded, but the comments became even more frantic.

[Pfft, hahaha, you're killing me! This is too hilarious!]

[Help! Even his improvisations sound this good!]

[Chen Yu: He returns, and he's still a total joker!]

[Ahhh, sing it again! I forgot to screen record!]

[This improvisation is legendary. Bro, you're a genius!]

[The Crayfish Song should be included in the new album!]

Chen Yu put down the guitar, picked up a bottle of mineral water from the table, unscrewed it with a smooth motion, and took a sip.

"Alright, enough joking around. It wasn't easy getting back to work today."

"I have water; do you have a story?"

[Hehe, Chen Yu is getting more and more 'watery,' he won't even drink milk tea anymore.]

[The richer people get, the stingier they become!]

[Chen Yu, I have a story, do you have a song?]

...

Lou Bingan looked at Chen Yu's livestream; there were over 50,000 viewers.

Thinking of herself, she only had over 10,000 even after spending money. She couldn't believe it—why couldn't she be like Chen Yu?!

Why?!

She glanced at her album sales again; they had dropped by another ten percent.

And that was even with the company padding the numbers at their own expense.

Why? She worked so hard, yet she still couldn't beat Chen Yu. It was so unfair!

Her hand slipped, and she accidentally sent a gift!

My money!!!

How hateful!

This was truly a case of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice!

...

Chen Yu's livestream.

The call-in segment.

[My Heart is Like Iron]: "Hello, Chen Yu. I want to know why you always sing love songs?"

Chen Yu: "Because... your stories are always so sad. I have no choice. I can't exactly play a happy song while you're telling me your tragic life stories, can I?"

[My Heart is Like Iron]: Uh, you have a point.

Chen Yu: "It's not that I can't write happy songs, it's just—do you actually want to hear them?"

Comments: [We want to hear them!] x10086

Chen Yu had a sudden inspiration.

"Ahem, actually, there's a song I've always wanted to sing for you guys."

"Oh, by the way, classmate My Heart is Like Iron, is your name Paopao?"

[My Heart is Like Iron]: ...

Disconnected!

Chen Yu: "Wait for me a moment."

Ten minutes later, the audience was getting restless.

"The name of this song is—"

"Sunshine Rainbow Little White Pony!"

Super Wudi cheerful music rang out. The moment the music started, the entire livestream room seemed to be injected with a burst of rainbow energy.

The intro featured bouncy keyboard notes paired with a light drumbeat, like a cluster of colorful balloons suddenly popping and raining down countless candies.

"How can you cry? Everything will be alright,

Let it all go, keep your future in sight,

Since there's no way out, why hate him anymore?

Why care about it? Just remember at your core—"

"You are the nei-nei-ge-nei-nei,

Nei-ge-nei-ge-nei-nei,

Nei-nei-ge-nei-nei,

Nei-ge-nei-ge-nei-nei,

Sunshine Rainbow Little White Pony,

Di-di-da, di-di-da..."

The comments went completely wild:

[Help! This melody is too addictive! I'm wriggling like a maggot on my bed!!]

[Chen Yu, your persona has collapsed! What happened to the Melancholy Prince of Love Songs?!]

[The person above doesn't get it. This is the 'unleashed nature' version of Chen Yu, ahhh!]

"You are the strongest, the very best,

The brightest, shining above the rest,

Nothing can stop you from blooming today,

You are the finest, the prettiest in every way,

The most wonderful, the most proud,

Bloom to your heart's content, clear and loud!"

"I am the nei-nei-ge-nei-nei, nei-ge-nei-ge-nei-nei,

Nei-nei-ge-nei-nei, nei-ge-nei-ge-nei-nei,

Sunshine Rainbow Little White Pony, di-di-da, di-di-da,

Di-di-da, di-da, di-di-da, di-da,

Di-di-da, di-di-da..."

The comments fell into a final frenzy—

[Square-dancing Aunties: This lad is alright!]

[Whoever called Chen Yu greasy earlier, come out! This is the Rainbow-Refreshing style!!]

[I need the audio! Now! Immediately! I'm going to play this at my graduation ceremony!]

[Spread the word: Chen Yu is joining the Children's Channel!]

[It might be a bit childish for kids, but it's just right for us university students!]

[Without Chen Yu, who would encourage me? I am the best! Chen Yu, you are so right!]

Chen Yu even got himself hyped up while singing!

As the final ring of the rainbow handbell vibrated in the air, Chen Yu leaned one hand on the electronic keyboard. There were slight beads of sweat on his forehead, but his eyes were incredibly bright.

He looked at the completely frantic comments, the corners of his mouth curling up. He took a breath and laughed, "How was that? Is this happy enough? Can it temporarily flush your sad stories down the sewer?"

[Flushed away, completely flushed away! Now my head is full of di-di-da!]

[Reporting! My mom just burst into my room and started dancing along!]

[Chen Yu, pay me back for your cool and aloof persona! I'm in the library laughing so hard I snorted like a pig, and everyone is staring!]

[Bro! When will this song be on the streaming platforms? I'm setting it as my alarm immediately!]

Chen Yu grabbed his mineral water and took a gulp. Water droplets slid down his jawline, a few splashing onto his T-shirt.

He casually wiped his mouth with his sleeve. Just as he was about to speak, a series of extremely dazzling special effects exploded in the livestream—

[User "Little Princess" gifted "Happy Lollipop" x10]

Chen Yu reminded, "Minors shouldn't be giving gifts!"

[Little Princess]: I'm an adult!

Chen Yu: "That's good then, that's good. Thank you to our Little Princess for the Happy Lollipops!"

Chen Yu smiled at the fans in the livestream and said, "Remember! No matter what you encounter, be your own Sunshine Rainbow Little White Pony! Di-di-da! Di-di-da, di-di-da!!"

"Remember, you are the best!"
