Baby, Would You Like to Play with Me?

Xi Linzhi, a well-known handsome gaming streamer on A Station, tries a newly released, instantly popular full-immersion BL romance game at his fans' request.

The protagonist is a newly debuted boy-band member whose goal is to hook a rich guy, cling to a wealthy patron, and make it big in the entertainment industry.

Xi Linzhi: This is so messed up. I love it.

After getting brutally crushed by a string of choices that led to bad endings from the start, Xi Linzhi realized he should play games from easy to hard. He set his sights on the one perfect romanceable character in the entire game.

The protagonist's gentle, devoted older brother.

Handsome and wealthy, he gives his adopted younger brother his undivided affection. Every one of the three choices gives a huge affection boost.

[Wish your brother good morning, affection +5]

[Accidentally break your brother's limited-edition watch, affection +50]

[Ask your brother for money, affection +100]

...What is this?

Breaking things and asking for money both raise his affection?

Xi Linzhi quietly opened the status screen and looked at the affection meter, which had gone past its limit. He couldn't help exclaiming from the bottom of his heart:

That's the kind of rich guy you should cling to!

But with such an easy route, he quickly finished the story.

Looking at the happy-ending CG on the screen, Xi Linzhi immediately started a second playthrough and chose the other romanceable characters he'd repeatedly failed to win over.

“Friends, I've totally figured it out. Watch me land another rich guy this time!”

-

He hasn't looked at me in so long.

I want him to kiss me like he used to, but he keeps saying things I don't understand.

[This time, I'm not playing the brother route in my second playthrough. I'll go for the cold-faced CEO. Hard mode!]

Play... what does that mean?

[Huh? Why is the CEO friends with the brother? There's a weird NTR vibe with the brother right here. Don't blame me, brother.]

You don't want me anymore?

[Another bad ending. Do I really have to play this route? The brother is still the gentlest and best, ahhh.]

Then come back to me. Your brother will always love you.

[Cleared it, cleared it! Putting everything else aside, a challenging route really is satisfying. The brother is too gentle and easy, so it doesn't feel like a game.]

...Is that so?

I understand. Your brother will change.

Your brother will wait for you.

After clearing the second playthrough, Xi Linzhi confidently started a third. Before going live, he opened an old save, planning to revisit the brother route.

As soon as he loaded the save, the original choices disappeared. His brother, smiling gently, took his hand and pressed it softly against his cheek.

[Baby, stop looking at other people. Play only with me, okay?]

Choices:

A. [Okay]

B. [Okay]

C. [Okay]

Xi Linzhi stared at the screen in silence for a while, quietly ended the livestream, and opened the game forum to post anonymously.

[Is something wrong with the brother route? Is it a bug?]
