[Funny Sichuan-Chongqing humor + everyday romance + childhood friends + a bonkers heroine + a two-faced hero + short-tempered parents]
After graduating from college, Lin Leyao returned to her hometown and started livestreaming. She grabbed people’s attention with exaggerated antics, making her look completely unhinged to everyone else.
Her dad beat her, the neighbors mocked her, and a dog chased her into a pond while the kids laughed.
“Dad, stop chasing me! You’ll be complaining about your back again when we get home.”
“Get out and find a job! Stop embarrassing yourself at home, and I won’t have to chase you.”
Her childhood friend Lu Yan lectured Lin Leyao to her face, but quietly supported her behind the scenes.
He bought her equipment, arranged places for her to livestream, and helped her overcome all sorts of difficulties, yet he could never bring himself to confess his love.
When Lin Leyao suddenly asked if he had a girlfriend, he said:
“I do. I have lots. Which one do you want to meet?”
Liu Jiao showed up dressed to the nines, hoping to ride her coattails to fame.
“Yaoyao, it’ll take me forever to earn as much as you do. Speaking of which, you make so much money, so why does your dad still chase you around and beat you?”
“There are only two things in Sichuan and Chongqing: none of your business, and none of my business. If you don’t want a beating, move along.”
The aunties munching on sunflower seeds tried to comfort her:
“Jiaojiao, little sis, don’t copy her. Find a good man and get married. You’ll do better than she has.”
Zhao Chuan brought a bag of rotten apples to Lin Leyao’s house to confess:
“Yaoyao, be with me. You can livestream all the fruit from my family’s orchard. I’ll make sure you live high off the hog.”
Lin Leyao picked up a rotten apple on the spot and held it up to the camera.
“Look, everyone. Doesn’t this apple look like Boss Zhao? Shiny on one side and rotten on the other. When you’re choosing fruit or a person, keep your eyes peeled.”
