Yu Siyao lives right across from Lu Chengyue, and they’ve been neighbors for as long as they can remember.
Lu Chengyue is a few years older than Yu Siyao, and is famous for being gentle and dependable. She’s always the role model the elders bring up over meals as someone Yu Siyao should learn from.
Yu Siyao has never paid much attention to that, and has always exchanged only the most perfunctory greetings with Lu Chengyue.
As an adult, Yu Siyao takes up livestreaming in her spare time.
The account that sends the most tips in her livestream is always silent, but suddenly speaks up when Yu Siyao mentions having an impressive neighbor: “I’m in the same city as you. Want to meet?”
Her fans flood the screen with messages. Yu Siyao considers how to politely turn down her top supporter: “Boss, I might be pretty busy lately.”
Before she can come up with another excuse, “Boss” adds: “I’m a woman.”
On the day Yu Siyao’s family has dinner with the neighbors across the hall, she apologizes to the elders trying to keep her there: “I have a date with my top supporter tonight.”
The elders all complain that she’s spoiling the fun, but Lu Chengyue, usually so poised and composed, sets down her chopsticks. “You don’t need to go. Your top supporter is right here.”
