After dinner, Lin Xiaoman, with a mysterious look on her face, sent Lin Feng a file.
Lin Feng was in his room when he opened the file.
The sound nearly deafened him.
It was none other than the makeup tutorial video Lin Xiaoman had recorded while blasting music behind her closed door.
Only then did Lin Feng realize.
That little rascal had probably been playing the music so loudly to use as a background for her video.
Still, after watching the entire video, Lin Feng was very satisfied with the suggestion he had given his sister.
Even without knowing much about makeup videos, Lin Feng could tell it was rare for someone to do their makeup so well on the first try and get such good results.
But he was, after all, a complete amateur in this area.
So Lin Feng forwarded the file to Su Ruoxi, who was at her hotel.
The moment he sent it, Su Ruoxi messaged him back.
"You and your sister really are two peas in a pod. You even sent me the exact same file, one right after the other."
"But why did you suddenly send me this?"
It seemed Lin Xiaoman had also sent the file to Su Ruoxi.
Lin Feng called Su Ruoxi directly and gave her the gist of the heart-to-heart he’d had with his sister the other night.
"I encouraged that little rascal, Xiaoman, to become a streamer focusing on makeup and fashion."
"Quick, give me your opinion from a girl’s perspective!"
Su Ruoxi hadn’t expected that a problem she’d been agonizing over would be solved by Lin Feng in such a short amount of time.
Lin Feng had even pointed out a direct career path for Lin Xiaoman.
"I’ve watched the video. Xiaoman’s makeup skills are actually quite good."
"I think if Xiaoman really becomes a streamer, she’ll be absolutely exceptional!"
Su Ruoxi wasn’t just saying that to be polite.
Unlike Lin Feng, who didn’t know much about these things, Su Ruoxi, as a girl, was very knowledgeable about makeup.
The techniques Lin Xiaoman displayed in her video were excellent.
Even though Xiaoman had never studied it professionally, her technique was very good.
Besides, Lin Xiaoman was good-looking, so she wouldn’t have any trouble attracting viewers in the future.
Plus, Su Ruoxi also knew that online live-streaming was an emerging industry right now.
The potential was enormous.
"I’m suddenly thinking this path you’ve pointed out for Xiaoman is actually a great idea!"
Su Ruoxi’s voice came through the phone.
Lin Feng smiled calmly. "Of course. I know my sister very well."
"By the way, school’s about to start. When are you planning to leave?"
Su Ruoxi sat on the sofa in her hotel room, staring blankly at the night sky in the distance.
To be honest, she didn’t want to go back at all.
Although Xiang City was a relatively unfamiliar city to Su Ruoxi, because it had people like Lin Feng and Lin Xiaoman, she no longer felt like a stranger here.
At the very least, this city didn’t have her annoying stepmother.
Nor did she have to deal with her outrageous antics.
This allowed Su Ruoxi to find a brief moment of peace in Xiang City.
But Su Ruoxi knew that no matter how much she didn’t want to face it, she would eventually have to return to Yang City.
She had to go to school there, after all.
It was just that her feelings were a bit complicated at the moment.
Although Lin Feng didn’t hear Su Ruoxi voice all these worries, in truth, he had already sensed what was on her mind.
"Don’t worry."
"In a little while, you won’t have these kinds of worries anymore."
They both knew "these kinds of worries" naturally referred to Su Ruoxi’s troublesome parents.
Su Ruoxi smiled faintly. "I believe you. I’m just a little frustrated, that’s all."
Lin Feng checked the date. "We’ll probably head back the day after tomorrow. You should get some rest these next two days."
"Although, I have a feeling that with Xiaoman around, you won’t get much of a chance to rest!"
As Lin Feng said this, he recalled what happened after dinner.
Lin Xiaoman had declared energetically, "You’re a guy, you don’t know the first thing about makeup! I’m going to find my sister-in-law tomorrow!"
"With my sister-in-law’s help, I’m going to do a real live stream tomorrow!"
After Lin Feng told Su Ruoxi about Lin Xiaoman’s plan, Su Ruoxi replied helplessly, "But... I don’t have any streaming experience either! I’m not really sure what to do when the time comes!"
Lin Feng chuckled. "Don’t worry. That little stinker has been researching a ton these past two days."
"She’s just a little nervous, so she wants you to be there with her!"
At that very moment, the "little nervous" Lin Xiaoman that Lin Feng mentioned was staying up late, adjusting her equipment.
’Oh man, the stream is tomorrow... This is so nerve-wracking!’
’I’m going to find my sister-in-law first thing in the morning. I can’t start this alone!’
’Wouldn’t it be so embarrassing if no one watches tomorrow?’
Lin Xiaoman muttered to herself as she paced back and forth in her room, all the while nervously fiddling with her equipment.
Faced with a completely new field she had never experienced before, Lin Xiaoman had initially found it thrilling and had been very motivated while preparing everything.
But as the actual start time approached, she instead found herself at a loss.
Her biggest worry was that no one would be watching.
Lost in these anxious thoughts, Lin Xiaoman finally managed to fall asleep.
Su Ruoxi had talked with Lin Feng late into the night. While still deep in her dreams, she suddenly felt someone tapping her.
She woke with a start.
Turning her head, she saw Lin Xiaoman, who had dark circles under her eyes.
"Xiaoman..."
"What are you doing here so early!"
Su Ruoxi rubbed her eyes and sat up.
As she did, she saw that her room was already filled with professional equipment.
"Sister-in-law, it’s already eight in the morning and you’re still not up!"
"You must have been on the phone with my brother for ages last night!"
Lin Xiaoman teased Su Ruoxi while adjusting the camera in her hand.
Su Ruoxi’s ears turned a little red. She laughed and playfully slapped Lin Xiaoman. "Say another word and I won’t let you stream in my hotel room!"
Lin Xiaoman immediately begged for mercy.
"Okay, the equipment and everything should be fine now. Should I start?"
Su Ruoxi could tell that Lin Xiaoman was genuinely nervous; her palms were sweaty.
"Don’t be nervous. Just act natural."
"Or just pretend you’re talking to yourself in the mirror!"
Su Ruoxi’s gentle voice gradually calmed Lin Xiaoman’s nerves.
"Okay, I’m starting now!"
Lin Xiaoman rubbed her cheeks and sat down in the chair in front of a camera.
She began her very first live stream.
Meanwhile, Su Ruoxi had already used the link on her phone to enter the stream room.
At first, there were indeed very few people.
For a long time, Su Ruoxi was even the only one watching.
But Lin Xiaoman wasn’t as disappointed as one might expect.
On the contrary, because there weren’t many people watching, she gradually started to relax.
Once she relaxed, Lin Xiaoman’s demeanor became much more natural.
Suddenly, Su Ruoxi noticed that the number of viewers in the stream was skyrocketing.
"What’s going on?"
Seeing the viewer count jump to several hundred, Su Ruoxi was stunned.
