Her Little Lamb

Ruan Ningzhao is a somewhat popular content creator on A Station. For various reasons, including her family situation, she dropped out of school early and became a gaming streamer.

She's socially anxious and introverted, and doesn't really enjoy talking to people, so she finds her happy routine of recording games and editing videos each day quite satisfying. In her three years as a content creator, she's gained a bit of a following, enough to support herself.

Her mother has opened a breakfast shop, and Ruan Ningzhao has found a career that suits her. Her life is gradually getting better, but on the day she becomes an adult, her online bestie suddenly asks to meet up in person.

"It's Sheepy~"

She's also a content creator, whom Ruan Ningzhao met a year after starting as a gaming streamer. At the time, Ruan Ningzhao was playing Fangyu World, an open-world exploration and base-building game. While she was streaming, Sheepy invited her to play together. She was also a gaming creator, and the two hit it off and became good friends.

Over the past two years, the two have made lots of gaming videos together, especially videos about Fangyu World. In the gaming community, they're a famous "CP," with the duo name "Lemon-Flavored Lamb."

Ruan Ningzhao really wants to meet her in person, but she's so socially anxious, and believes in keeping a little distance to preserve the magic, so in the end she turns down the request to meet up.

For Ruan Ningzhao, what she can't touch feels safest. The virtual world has built a protective wall around her, and she doesn't want to break through it to find out more. Keeping a safe distance is best.

Ruan Ningzhao is relieved that after she turns down the invitation to meet, Sheepy doesn't seem uncomfortable and still logs on to play games with her every day.

"If we aren't meeting up, then I'll send you some snacks! I had some amazing chocolate today."

A few months after asking to meet, Sheepy suddenly sends Ruan Ningzhao this message. Ruan Ningzhao doesn't want to accept at first, but Sheepy is so sweet and coaxing that she eventually gives her an address. She gives her the address of a Cainiao pickup station, though, and is careful not to reveal her exact location.

Since Sheepy is sending her a gift, Ruan Ningzhao feels she should send one in return, so she asks for her address, too.

A few days later, she receives a huge gift box of snacks from Sheepy. The packaging is beautiful, and the chocolate is delicious. When she opens Pinduoduo to order more, she can't find it, so she searches on Little Blue Book. The result leaves Ruan Ningzhao stunned.

One box of the chocolate costs 10,000 yuan. Sheepy sent her ten boxes, which would be 100,000 yuan. Even if she'd earned some money as a gaming streamer, that was no way to spend it, was it?

"This is way too expensive. It really costs 10,000 yuan a box? I only sent you a few handmade dolls..."

"You believe everything you read online? Now it's 10,000 yuan a box? I only spent a few hundred on ten boxes. Don't worry, enjoy them. Your dolls were handmade, and I love them!"

After Sheepy reassures her again and again, Ruan Ningzhao finally calms down. But from that day on, Sheepy's IP address changes.

It changes to the city where Ruan Ningzhao lives.

One day, Ruan Ningzhao goes out to buy groceries. A stylish girl with long, wavy hair and a polished office-worker air hurries past her, and a doll hanging from her bag falls to the ground.

Ruan Ningzhao picks it up and is shocked to realize it's the one she sent to Sheepy. Before she can react, the girl takes the doll from her hands.

"Thanks. My girlfriend made this for me. It's cute, isn't it?"

Ruan Ningzhao: ? What?
