Wang Muguang sat there with his head down, both hands covering the lower half of his face. He bit hard on his lower lip, eyes tightly shut, and there were faint traces of tears at the corners of his eyes.
Bai Shuijin was awakened by the loud noise. He looked at Wang Muguang sitting at the end of the small bed, crying, and was completely stunned.
“What’s wrong with you?”
As he sat up, the blanket slid off his body, and Bai Shuijin was fully exposed on the livestream screen.
There was someone else in Wang Muguang’s private RV! Not just in it, but sleeping inside it!
And he was not just sleeping, he even served as the background prop for the livestream room.
On the livestream screen, Bai Shuijin was turned sideways facing the camera. Just from his side profile alone, one could see his outstanding looks: three-dimensional brows, a straight nose bridge, lips that were tender and red, and a jawline that was smooth and clean. From the side, all his features were harmonious, combining into a face that was both good-looking and cute.
Add to that his just-woken-up messy hair, like a bird’s nest, it made people feel tender toward him. He gave off no aggressiveness, and he wasn’t guarded at all.
From the moment he sat up until now, he never looked at the camera even once, so it was obvious he was unaware that he was on a livestream.
He didn’t look very old, probably even younger than twenty-two-year-old Wang Muguang. His eyes were as black as black grapes, round and lively.
He suddenly woke up in a panic, clearly startled. His hands naturally dropped to his sides, clenched into fists, as if he was ready to launch a fierce attack at life’s chaos at any moment.
A young man appeared in the RV of a popular star at midnight, and the livestream room exploded instantly. The relationship between the two people aroused people’s speculation.
After all, the entertainment industry was a giant dye vat, men and women, men and men, women and women, there were all kinds of tangled relationships they were too many to count.
Wang Muguang was a rich young master born with a silver spoon. He must’ve had no shortage of beauties around him. The only reason no scandals had come out was that no one had caught anything yet. Unexpectedly, it was self-exposed.
[Oh my God, who is this? Why is he in Wang Muguang’s RV!]
[…So the thing I thought was a pillow is actually a person.]
[Is that sister-in-law?]
[Wang Muguang, you’re so handsome it makes me sick, and you even had someone hiding behind you during the livestream.]
[This is too bold, hanging out in the RV in the middle of the night.]
[This is what you get for livestreaming late at night. You couldn’t even hide sister-in-law.]
[He looks like a college student.]
[Such a cutie, I like him.]
[Damn you, Wang Muguang!]
[Don’t even think about dating when your career is on the rise!]
[This is the drama I deserve for staying up late to watch livestreams.]
Just two minutes after Bai Shuijin appeared, the topic “Wang Muguang, Sister-in-law” became a hot search.
[Sister-in -law accidentally appeared in his livestream.]
[The livestream is still on! Go quick, hahahahahaha.]
[Sister-in-law is right in Wang Muguang’s RV, I just want to see how he responds.]
[Wang Muguang only has looks, not acting skills. Most of his fans are girlfriend-fans. Now that he has a partner, just wait for them to unfollow and turn on him.]
[So arrogant, live streaming while sister-in-law is sleeping in the back.]
None of the chaos outside had anything to do with them. Bai Shuijin and Wang Muguang sat inside the RV, completely unaware of the storm online.
Bai Shuijin saw Wang Muguang still lowering his head, not speaking. “What’s wrong?”
He scooted over and stretched his leg to nudge Wang Muguang.
Wang Muguang turned around with teary eyes, “Why did you kick my butt?”
Bai Shuijin looked innocent. “Don’t you have no butt?”
The next second, the sound of a water pump truck became even louder in the live stream.
“…”
[This sound is so bizarre…it’s so creepy, yet weirdly addictive.]
[How is he even making this kind of sound?]
[Wait, am I the only one focused on the fact that Wang Muguang has no butt?]
[Hahahahaha, is he crying? How can someone cry like this?]
[So it’s true that Wang Muguang doesn’t have a butt?]
[Such a handsome guy doesn’t have a butt…]
[Husband… no, ex-husband, you’re a giant water pump truck.]
[Wang Muguang, if you’re really dating, I’ll stop being a fan!]
[I’m begging you, don’t date. Sister-in-law, please don’t let it be real. I really love his face, I’m begging you.]
[Although…but…he really sounds like a water pump truck when crying.]
After Bai Shuijin said he didn’t have a butt, Wang Muguang cried even louder. It was as if the RV only looked like an RV on the outside, but inside, it was a water pump truck.
Bai Shuijin didn’t expect Wang Muguang to get this upset. He immediately apologized and scratched his butt in a panic.
Damn it, the mosquito bite was itching.
“Sorry, sorry, don’t cry. I won’t say it again.”
Wang Muguang wasn’t listening at all. His life had been blessed from the moment he was born. He was born into a wealthy family, had enough money for eight lifetimes, and was surrounded by flattery wherever he went. The only major blow he’d ever suffered was when he lost his parents in a plane crash at age ten. Since then, he had been carefully protected.
He knew he was handsome, so everyone liked him. He believed that everyone in the world liked him…until he entered the entertainment industry and got more hate than he’d ever seen in his first twenty-two years. Faced with constant criticism, Wang Muguang began to doubt himself.
He used to be a top student in the law department of a prestigious university, skipping grades as a kid, surrounded by praise and naturally excellent. He had never doubted himself before.
But now, everything had changed. Ever since he discovered that his butt was just average, he grew increasingly insecure.
His emotional breakdowns online became more and more frequent. Bai Shuijin had initially thought the tears around his eyes were from sleepiness. After all, live streaming past midnight would make anyone yawn nonstop. But now it turned out…he really was crying.
Wang Muguang cried so much that Bai Shuijin was no longer sleepy at all, and his head was buzzing.
“Why are you crying? What happened?” Bai Shuijin patted his shoulder.
Wang Muguang felt as if he was in the abyss of despair, with no light in sight. “I was abandoned by the world.”
“Huh?”
[I should’ve known… I couldn’t even find the strawberry jam I like at the hotel buffet today. Even the strawberry jam has abandoned me.]
As expected, a drop in intelligence was a feature of every villain.
Seeing how heartbroken he was, Bai Shuijin frowned. “Don’t cry anymore. If it’s that bad, open your mouth and I’ll squeeze some in for you?”
After saying this, he turned and grabbed his white shoulder bag, pulling out a few small containers of strawberry jam.
[Hahahahaha what the hell, are these two doing a comedy sketch?]
[Help, these two are too funny.]
[No wonder there wasn’t any strawberry jam, it was all in this kid’s bag.]
[Whether the world abandoned you or not, at least the strawberry jam didn’t.]
[What right does Wang Muguang have to talk about being abandoned by the world? There are so many people who are suffering more than you.]
[Don’t scold him, my husband is just a water pump truck.]
Wang Muguang looked at the strawberry jam in Bai Shuijin’s hands.
Bai Shuijin opened one. “Don’t cry. The strawberry jam didn’t abandon you.”
He handed over the opened container. “Eat it slowly, don’t drip it on your clothes. White clothes are hard to wash.”
“Okay.” Wang Muguang hiccupped, his voice like a motorcycle engine.
Although he wasn’t in the camera frame, you could see from the shadow that he was pouring strawberry jam into his mouth.
After eating the jam, Wang Muguang felt a bit better. He turned and looked at the RV window behind him. Outside was the dark forest night.
The viewers could also see him through the window.
[Husband, don’t cry anymore. You’re making my scalp tingle.]
[I’ve never seen Wang Muguang cry before, but watching him cry… really doesn’t stir any sympathy. That water pump truck sound is just too hilarious.]
[Damn it, sister-in-law is actually quite thoughtful.]
[So he really cried like a water pump truck.]
[Who gets it? Listening to his crying, I laughed so hard under the covers I broke a sweat.]
[Baby, don’t cry. Look out the window at the scenery.]
[Looking at the scenery will make you feel better.]
At this moment, the person sitting on the small bed spoke. “Wang Muguang.”
Wang Muguang didn’t move his eyes.
“What’s wrong?”
“Please stop admiring yourself crying in the window reflection.”
“…”
[This little brother is amazing.]
[Wang Muguang, you’re so narcissistic.]
[Hahahahahaha, I was just about to say, isn’t he just looking at himself?]
[This sister-in-law really understands him. It looks like they’re actually dating.]
Wang Muguang scratched his face awkwardly, then suddenly remembered he seemed to have forgotten something. But earlier he had cried so hard his brain lacked oxygen, and he couldn’t recall what it was for a moment.
He turned to look at Bai Shuijin, who was also about to eat strawberry jam. “Stop eating, I feel like I forgot something.”
Bai Shuijin licked the plastic film he had peeled off. “Then just try to remember.”
“Aren’t you my assistant these days? Help me think.”
“How am I supposed to help? I’m not the roundworm in your stomach.”
As soon as the words fell, both of them froze. Just now he was sleeping, and Wang Muguang was crying…these two events happened simultaneously. So before that, what were they doing?
The two looked at each other and their eyes widened at the same time.
Livestream!
In the livestream chat:
[It looks like we’ve been discovered.]
[Discovered? You mean they finally remembered us?]
[Finally! The real show’s about to begin.]
[Move aside, I want to see how Wang Muguang explains this.]
[Didn’t Wang Muguang say just now that he was an assistant? I bet he’ll say that again.]
[Assistant? An assistant sleeping in the RV? I don’t buy it.]
[It’s definitely sister-in-law!]
Looking at Wang Muguang’s speechless and shocked expression, Bai Shuijin knew that he definitely hadn’t turned off the livestream.
He turned his stiff neck and saw the phone set up on the table pointing straight at his face. His figure sitting on the small bed, every movement, was all on the screen.
Unbelievable, he live streamed waking up.
Actually, that wasn’t the problem. What really worried him more was Wang Muguang.
After all, the other party was quite vulnerable right now.
Wang Muguang didn’t dare look at the phone. He asked nervously, “Is the livestream off?”
He vaguely remembered that in order to avoid crying in front of netizens, he hurriedly escaped from the camera. Before leaving, he hadn’t found the button to turn it off, so he just left it. But he still held onto a sliver of hope in his heart.
His phone was already two years old this year. Maybe it had learned to turn off on its own.
Wang Muguang looked at Bai Shuijin with anticipation.
Bai Shuijin glanced at the phone again. “No.”
“…”
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Wang Muguang, who had just finished eating strawberry jam, instantly went from heartbreak to utter collapse.
Seeing that he looked like he might drop dead the next second, Bai Shuijin hurried to comfort him. “It’s okay, it’s okay! The netizens just know you cry like a water pump truck and don’t have a butt.”
Netizens in the livestream: “…”
[Although we are not good people, but little brother, you didn’t go easy on him either.]
[Crying like a water pump truck and has no butt hahahahahaha.]
[A handsome guy with no butt, I want to look at his butt now to see if it’s true.]
The entries “Wang Muguang’s Butt” and “Wang Muguang Is a Water Pump Truck” followed right behind “Sister-in-law” and dominated the hot search list.
Soon, the internet was flooded with various “Wang Muguang Butt Appreciation” photos.
Wang Muguang had been cheerful and lively since childhood. He never imagined he’d end up completely autistic after more than twenty years of life.
He sat there, as if he might shatter at any moment. “I don’t want to live anymore.”
No narcissist ever wants the world to find out he has no butt.
Bai Shuijin picked up the little blanket and walked over. Wang Muguang looked up with teary eyes, not expecting him to still be trying to comfort him at a time like this.
“No need, you use it.”
“Didn’t you say you wanted to die? I’m covering you with a white cloth.”
“…”
Wang Muguang completely shut down. He pulled the blanket over himself, forming a big lump on the bed. A white mountain sat motionless. He had completely lost all attachment to the world and didn’t want to speak anymore.
What netizens. What favorability. Roll!
The young master’s temper flared, and he didn’t want to deal with anyone.
The livestream still had viewers waiting. Seeing that Wang Muguang wasn’t moving and had no intention of doing any work, Bai Shuijin felt it was rude to leave the netizens hanging, so he leaned toward the camera, intending to apologize and end the stream.
“Sorry, everyone. Little unc… I mean, Mr. Wang Muguang is currently too heartbroken to continue the livestream, so we’re going offline now.”
A fresh and clean youthful face suddenly appeared in front of the camera, and the beauty immediately made the viewers happy.
[Don’t end the livestream, don’t end the livestream!]
[Keep live streaming a little longer! Don’t turn it off.]
[If you end it, I’ll go to Weibo and scold you. You are not allowed to stop the livestream.]
[No, I want to watch longer.]
Bai Shuijin looked at the sudden flood of comments like a torrential downpour from the sky, carefully read them one by one, and then read them out loud.
“Don’t end the livestream…” He turned to look at Wang Muguang. “But the anchor won’t come out.”
[It’s okay, we’ll just watch you!]
[Do you have a boyfriend, little gege?]
[So handsome, so cute.]
[Gege, date me. I majored in being a wife in college.]
[Newcomers upstairs, that’s sister-in-law.]
[Now that the main protagonist knows we’re here, just say it…are you or are you not sister-in-law?]
[Of course he is, they’re in the same RV.]
Bai Shuijin looked at the comments. “Sister-in-law”?”
Were they talking about his relationship with Wang Muguang? Seeing the netizens spamming it and even demanding a response, Bai Shuijin calmly nodded. “That’s right, I’m the sister-in-law.”
The livestream barrage completely exploded.
[Fuck!!!! What did I say? They’re definitely dating.]
[Sister-in-law self-exposed! Wang Muguang, it’s your blessing to fall in love during the rise of your career!]
[Wuuuu!!! they’re really dating.]
[I was still clinging to a shred of hope, and now… I’m locking my heart away forever.]
[Wang Muguang, if you’re a man, come out and say something! What kind of man are you if you hide away from the camera!]
[This sister-in-law is so good-looking, handsome and cute. No wonder Wang Muguang is dating him.]
[He’s really my type…he seems like the playful, talkative kind.]
[Okay, that’s enough. I’m not here to ship CPs, I’m just Wang Muguang’s emotionally broken dream girl.]
Dating?
What dating? Him and Wang Muguang?
Bai Shuijin suddenly froze. Were the netizens misunderstanding his relationship with Wang Muguang?
“Not ‘that’ sister-in-law.” Bai Shuijin quickly waved his hands to clarify their relationship. “It’s not the kind of sister-in-law you’re thinking. I’m really Wang Muguang’s sister-in-law.”
He hadn’t expected today’s netizens to have such wild imaginations. They could link everything together. If this misunderstanding spread, it would become a huge mess.
Besides, how could a narcissist like Wang Muguang be in a relationship? He only loved himself. He couldn’t love anyone else.
Bai Shuijin explained seriously and looked into the phone camera. “I’m not dating Wang Muguang. I’m already married. I married Wang Muguang’s brother. I’m his sister-in-law.”
After explaining, he was worried the netizens wouldn’t believe him, so he rushed to call Wang Muguang.
“Little Uncle! Stop being sad, hurry and say a few words.”
Under the blanket, Wang Muguang’s eyes were full of tears. “Say what? Now the whole world knows I don’t have a butt. I might as well die.”
“Really…” Bai Shuijin was silent for a few seconds. “But the netizens think I’m in a relationship with you.”
“What?!”
The next second, Wang Muguang rushed to the camera at the speed of light.
If this misunderstanding got out and his brother found out, wouldn’t he beat him to death? Even though he had just been shouting about dying, he couldn’t actually die.
Wang Muguang’s eyes were red, and the arrogant air of a narcissist returned to him. Facing the camera, he instinctively presented his best side, but now, facing this absurd rumor, he couldn’t keep it together. “Don’t be too outrageous! How could I be in a relationship? He’s my brother’s wife, don’t get me in trouble!”
His anxious expression didn’t look fake at all, and the DNA from his university major activated…he studied law!
“If anyone spreads rumors again, I’ll draft a legal letter on the spot.”
[? So he’s really the sister-in-law? They’re not dating, but he’s the actual sister-in-law?]
[Fuck, did I really misunderstand?]
[A real sister-in-law, hahahahaha, that’s even more awesome.]
[This livestream better have a replay. The jokes are enough to last me a year.]
[Wuuuu hubby, I knew you weren’t dating. I love you, muah muah.]
[You’re just going to explain it away that easily? And you guys believe it? What if Wang Muguang is just acting?]
[Fuck, have the ones above ever watched Wang Muguang act? You think he has that kind of acting skill?]
Wang Muguang reading the comments: “…”
[Wang Muguang has the cry of a water pump truck, a butt as flat as a board, but absolutely no acting skills.]
Wang Muguang: “…”
Enough already!
[That little assistant did call Wang Muguang ‘Little Uncle’ earlier, when the livestream was first noticed.]
[So he really is the sister-in-law. Wang Muguang’s brother is eating well.[
[This male sister-in-law really looks like my type.[
[Wang Muguang, tell your brother to get a divorce. I should be the one marrying him.]
Bai Shuijin popped up beside him. “We really aren’t in a relationship. We only have a pure uncle-sister-in-law relationship. Wang Muguang is still single. I can vouch for that.”
[If hubby’s still single, then I’m relieved.]
[As long as he’s not dating during the rise in his career, it’s fine.]
[Male sister-in-law, what kind of person does my hubby like?]
[What’s your name? How old are you? Are you interested in having a girlfriend?]
[Boyfriend…do you still need a boyfriend?]
[Baby, does your husband come home at night?]
Bai Shuijin read the comments line by line. “What kind of person does Wang Muguang like?”
He didn’t know that. He reached out and pointed at the other person. “They’re asking what kind of person you like.”
The agent standing guard at the RV door wanted to rush in and skip this question.
In fact, he had wanted to rush in and end the livestream from the beginning, but then various tags about Wang Muguang blew up on the hot search list, and the senior management at the company started bombarding him with calls, which delayed him. After he got off the call and tried to clean up the mess, less than two minutes had passed and the situation had already flipped again.
He opened the hot search topics and checked the tags:
“Sister-in-law is the real sister-in-law, not “that” kind of sister-in-law.”
“Wang Muguang’s sister-in-law.”
“Wang Muguang’s amazing male sister-in-law.”
Agent: “…”
What was going on?
But the current question was very tricky. With Wang Muguang’s personality, there was no way he’d give an answer that satisfied everyone. He was willful and might even answer in great detail. The more detail, the more it would hurt his fans. That’s why they always skipped these kinds of questions during interviews. But now it was asked during a livestream.
The agent tried to rush in, only to find the RV door wouldn’t open. It was locked from the inside.
Agent: “…”
Wang Muguang, you big water pump truck.
“What kind do I like?” Wang Muguang had never answered this question before, and now he thought about it seriously. He put his hand on his chin and said, “What kind do I like…”
The livestream viewers were full of anticipation. The agent outside the car was tense, and Bai Shuijin on the side still couldn’t open the strawberry jam.
After a few seconds of thought, he gave an answer. “I like the tall type. Above 1.8 meters.”
Bai Shuijin’s hand holding the strawberry jam trembled. “So tall?”
Wang Muguang continued, “The hair should be a bit long, down to the neck, preferably layered. The eyes should be phoenix eyes. The lips should not be too thick, just slightly thin, but not too thin…with defined lip peaks, a high nose bridge, and distinct features. They should also have a good taste in clothes.”
“It would be best if there’s a mole at the corner of the mouth.”
The more people listened, the more something felt off.
A mole at the corner of the mouth…Bai Shuijin and the viewers looked at Wang Muguang. There was a small mole at the corner of his mouth.
Brother, are you… describing yourself?
Bai Shuijin: …
Viewers: …
Agent: …
You narcissist!
[Wang Muguang dream girls, I’m sorry. You guys are the most collapse-proof fandom on earth.]
[Can a narcissist fall in love? A narcissist only loves himself.]
[I understand. Wang Muguang is into narcissism.]
[Confirmed. He has absolutely no dirty thoughts toward that pretty boy. Wang Muguang doesn’t have any romantic intent toward anyone.]
[…As a girlfriend fan, I don’t even know whether to be happy or sad right now.]
[Wang Muguang, you’re amazing.]
[He’s so narcissistic, but so cute.]
[Wang Muguang, you’re going kill me with laughter.]
Bai Shuijin saw that the netizens finally believed their relationship was pure and let out a big sigh of relief.
“Our relationship went from clear water to boiled water, little uncle.”
Bai Shuijin looked at the phone screen. It was getting late and it was time to take a break. The netizens also thought so.
“Everyone, we’ll answer a few more questions and then end the live stream. You all should rest early too.”
[Okay okay okay, little cutie.]
[You’re so good-looking, chat a little longer.]
[May I ask if I could marry you for a few days?]
[My family’s in South City, it’s spring all year round. You’d have a great time here. Do you want to date me while you’re at it?]
[Do you like the big kind? I’m a college student.]
[Gege, marry me.]
Bai Shuijin froze. “Marry you?”
The viewer saw that Bai Shuijin responded to him and quickly typed, [Mhm mhm mhm mhm, marry me!]
Bai Shuijin checked the IP address. It was even further south than where they were now, very far from home.
Wang Muguang gulped nervously. Bai Shuijin wasn’t seriously tempted, was he?
“I can’t marry you,” Bai Shuijin muttered. “My laogong-ge won’t let me marry far away.”
