Chapter 155: Peeking at Him Bathing

Chapter 155 -134: Peeking at Him Bathing

Xiao Ran was handsome to begin with, and with Yan Xici’s talent for finding good angles, he looked even more attractive in the video than usual.

Once they started fishing, the atmosphere grew quiet again. Many viewers suggested that Xiao Ran show off another one of his talents, adding that it would be great if he could sing.

Some viewers even started donating for a song request. And while no one sent the biggest gifts, a flood of “Frantic Palpitations” still filled the screen.

After all, the price wasn’t very high, so many viewers began to send donations.

Having accepted their money, Xiao Ran felt it would be rude to just sit there. For the good of the stream, he figured he could at least sing for them—as long as that’s all he was selling.

He smiled at the camera. “Well, I’m not a great singer. I don’t really have any technique.”

The moment he finished speaking, comments started flying across the screen again.

Keke: That’s okay! I prefer singing that’s full of emotion.

XuXuRuCheng: +1. Who needs technique, anyway?

HuHu: So direct. I love it!

There were so many comments, and they were appearing so quickly that Xiao Ran could only catch a few.

He nodded. “Alright, I’ll sing something simple, then. You can all just listen along.”

With that, he cleared his throat and began to sing softly.

“If you miss the train I’m on, you will know that I am gone…”

It was a song he particularly liked, “500 Miles.”

Such a mellow song, in such a serene environment, was indescribably soothing to the ear.

His voice had a slight magnetic quality to it—unhurried, a little languid.

Watching his handsome face and listening to him sing softly, Yan Xici was a little surprised.

‘This is the first time I’ve ever heard Brother Xiao Ran sing. I can’t believe even his singing sounds so good!’

Flecks of adoration sparkled in the girl’s eyes, and a deep sense of peace washed over her, as comforting as a stroll down a country lane.

‘I love him so much it hurts!’

‘I have to have his baby someday!!!’

The lake wasn’t very big—it was just for fishing, after all. Worried something might happen, Xu Cheng stood on the bank, his eyes fixed on the two of them.

Seeing Yan Xici’s utterly infatuated expression, Xu Cheng suddenly felt that Xiao Ran wasn’t fishing for fish at all, but for the heart of the girl in the boat with him!

He figured that if Xiao Ran so much as burped, both Yan Xici and Yan Li would probably think he was burping out a heart shape for them.

As he mused on this, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy.

‘We’re both men. What guy wouldn’t want a wife who looked at him with such complete adoration?’

The small boat bobbed gently in the middle of the lake, and as Xiao Ran continued his soft singing, the stream’s atmosphere reached yet another peak!

The viewer count rose from over thirty thousand to forty-five thousand, and was about to break fifty thousand.

Yan Xici was dazzled by the barrage of scrolling comments and the gifts that kept popping up.

In just one hour, the viewers had experienced the cozy warmth of daily life, the sweet feeling of romance, and now, the peace and serenity of the night.

It was an amazing feeling, almost as if they were experiencing it all firsthand, and it helped ease the stuffiness of being cooped up at home.

A moment later, Xiao Ran got a bite. He immediately stopped singing and sharply jerked his rod upwards. Beneath the dark, glossy surface of the water, the faint outline of a large fish was visible.

Seeing this, Xu Cheng ran to the closest point on the bank and gestured for Xiao Ran to row the boat over to him.

‘They might be live-streaming, but they still need to eat, right?’

‘Freshly caught fish has to be eaten right away to be at its best!’

‘I have a chef here who’s especially good with fish. It cost me fifteen thousand to hire him! He’s a fish specialist, very famous in the farm-to-table resort business!’

Yan Xici was incredibly excited. She hurried over, wanting to capture the scene for the viewers.

In her excitement, she completely forgot that she was on a boat. Xiao Ran was already on his feet, and when she stood up as well, the small boat immediately started to rock alarmingly.

As the boat lurched violently, the girl flinched and instinctively took a step back. The edge of the boat dipped sharply under her foot, and completely unprepared, she lost her balance and plunged straight into the water.

It was no exaggeration to say that before she could even process what was happening, she was submerged in the lake.

At the accompanying “PLOP,” the color drained from Xiao Ran’s face just as he was pulling the fish into the boat.

The fish in his hands dropped to the floor of the boat with a wet SLAP, and without a second thought, he dove in after her.

The girl’s mind went completely blank as she hit the water. In her terror, she clutched the phone in her hand as if it were her only lifeline.

After struggling for a few moments, she realized the more she thrashed, the faster she sank. Despair washed over her completely.

‘This is it, I’m going to die!’

In the water, Xiao Ran forced his eyes open, using the faint light from the shore to search for Yan Xici.

The girl’s white dress stood out starkly in the black water.

Her dress drifted in the current, and her smooth hair fanned out around her, buoyed by the water. Her beautiful, almond-shaped eyes were wide with terror.

The lake was pitch-black, but he seemed to be glowing as she watched him fight his way toward her, stroke by stroke.

In that instant, a sense of calm washed over her, and her terror was replaced by a wave of profound emotion.

‘Her Brother Xiao Ran… he was really here to save her!’

Her nose still stung and her ears ached. It was even painful to open her eyes, but deep inside, she suddenly wasn’t afraid anymore.
