My Livestreaming Metaphysics & Gossip Became an Internet Sensation Ch. 68

Although it was harsh, Jiang Yiqing told her the truth, "If we're talking about romantic feelings between a man and a woman, then no, there's no chance."

Tan Ran immediately countered, almost pleading, "No way! He's been so nice to me, and it's special, not like how he treats other people. My roommates all say he must like me!"

This was the first time Jiang Yiqing had encountered such a tricky situation. He knew exactly why they couldn't be together, but with so many people watching on the livestream and with Tan Ran being so invested, he didn't want to just blurt it out. He was worried it might leave a lasting psychological impact on her. After all, such a blow might be hard for her to handle all at once if it wasn't eased into gently.

So even though Jiang Yiqing was exasperated multiple times, he didn't just say it outright.

Tan Ran was clearly at her peak of infatuation with her dream guy.

Just then, Tan Ran's phone rang. She wiped her tears and, upon seeing the caller, immediately became ecstatic, "It's my idol! He's calling me!"

She turned to Jiang Yiqing, her eyes practically gleaming, "I'm going to confess to him soon, and once we're together, that'll prove you were wrong!"

Jiang Yiqing immediately said, "No, don't act rashly!"

Tan Ran wasn't listening to him. She was completely focused on being with her dream guy.

She answered the call, and her dream guy's gentle voice came through, "Tan Ran, are you free this weekend? I've got something I need to talk to you about."

Tan Ran's eyes lit up as she looked at Jiang Yiqing, her gaze clearly saying, "See, I told you you were wrong."

Jiang Yiqing: "..."

It was no wonder Tan Ran thought that way. After all, what her dream guy said was definitely open to interpretation.

"Senior..." Tan Ran sniffled, still a little teary and emotional from earlier. Her voice unintentionally trembled with a hint of tears.

Hearing Tan Ran's sniffles, her man-god immediately sounded concerned, "You're crying? Did something happen?"

"No," Tan Ran said, her face full of sweetness, though she was clearly nervous. "I... I actually have something to tell you too."

Bullet comments:

"Ugh... the way the dream guy is acting, doesn't feel very innocent, does it?"

"Guys, Qingqing already said there's no chance, but seriously, is this dream guy a player? Or maybe he's got bad character? Qingqing said he doesn't have a girlfriend, but he didn't say anything about his character being fine."

"I don't think his character's the problem. If it were, Master Jiang would've definitely said so. I'm more curious about what's making Master Jiang hold back."

"Ahhh, is she about to confess? I'm more nervous than she is!"

"Confessing in front of all these people? That's some serious courage. If she gets rejected... ugh, I can't even imagine..."

Jiang Yiqing's expression at this moment: o-O!

He couldn't believe it—he couldn't stop her.

He just watched as Tan Ran blushed and nervously spoke to the person on the other end, "Senior, actually... actually, I like you. I want to be your girlfriend!"

At the same time, Jiang Yiqing covered his face with both hands, letting out a heavy sigh. He was practically a meme at this point: Death sentence.jpg

The dream guy was completely caught off guard by Tan Ran's sudden confession. He was silent for a while, not knowing what to say.

Tan Ran, seeing him silent for so long, grew anxious, her voice starting to break with emotion, "Senior, why aren't you saying anything? Do you... not like me?"

The dream guy's head was about to explode, but he had to say, "Tan Ran, I'm sorry, but we really can't be together."

"Why?!" Tan Ran couldn't care less about the livestream anymore, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face. "I really like you, don't you like me? If you don't, then why are you so nice to me, why do you care about me so much? I really... really thought you liked me."

Her crush seemed a bit flustered. "Please don't cry."

Tan Ran wiped her tears, her voice shaky. "You don't like me, so why do you care whether I cry or not?"

The crush: "..."

"Fine, let me ask you this. Since you don't like me, why are you still asking me to meet up this weekend?" Tan Ran shot the question, still in disbelief.

"We'll talk when we meet." Her crush saw how emotional Tan Ran was and, afraid of pushing her too hard, didn't dare to say much more.

"I don't want to meet you anymore. If you don't like me, just stay away. Don't give me all these false hopes." Tan Ran tried hard to pull herself together.

Even though part of her still wanted to meet him this weekend, it felt pointless. Seeing him but not being able to be with him was too painful.

"No, we have to meet," her crush said, now clearly anxious.

Tan Ran was left speechless. She was starting to doubt if he was just playing with her emotions. How could he give her false hope, knowing they couldn't be together? She bit her lip. "Let's just keep our distance from now on."

Her crush sighed, sounding helpless. "I was planning to tell you this weekend in person, but it looks like I can't keep it from you anymore."

Tan Ran: "?"

She bit her lip and stayed silent, wondering what exactly he was going to say.

"Tan Ran, actually..." Her crush paused for a moment, then said, "You're my sister, the one I've been looking for all these years."

Tan Ran: "???"

Wait, what? Is this some weird language I don't understand?

Once the awkward part was over, her crush continued, "My sister went missing when she was little. My parents and I have been looking for her all these years. I honestly thought I'd never find her, until that day I saw you in the club."

Tan Ran felt dizzy. What the heck was going on?

No wonder he kept approaching her the moment they met.

But the thing that really gave Tan Ran the illusion that he liked her was that one time when a guy from her class confessed to her and went to the club to tell her.

And of course, her crush just so happened to be there that day. Tan Ran watched as the guy confessed, only for her crush's face to darken. He walked over with a scowl and told the guy to leave immediately. "You're seriously disrupting my practice. Please leave, and clean up the petals on the floor."

Oh, that guy had spread petals on the floor to confess, but her dream guy had called it trash.

Tan Ran didn't like the guy, but hearing that almost made her laugh. The guy looked pretty bad, but in the end, he slunk away.
