As a little-known rookie streamer, Gu Yumian had a gentle way of talking, a gentle way of showing off his talents, and a gentle way of thanking people for their gifts. He spent a long time as a barely noticed nobody.
Just when he thought he’d stay that way forever, one night a big spender came into his stream and dropped ten Carnival gifts on him.
A fortune from the heavens.
Gu Yumian nearly passed out from the shock.
After he thanked the big spender until his mouth went dry, the guy left him with a truly infuriating comment: "Wait, why are you a guy? You got my hopes up for nothing."
Gu Yumian: ...
Gu Yumian smiled, then swiftly graduated him from his stream.
The next day, a friend arranged a group get-together. Gu Yumian heard that a super-rich second-generation heir would be there, too.
He wasn’t interested in rich heirs, but manners were manners. When they met, he smiled at Liang Ye and said, "Hello."
Liang Ye didn’t take his hand. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and said with outrageous arrogance, "Why does a guy have long hair?"
Gu Yumian’s fists clenched.
Wasn’t life supposed to go smoothly if you just kept things low-key? Why did he keep running into weirdos?

The night before, Liang Ye had seen a streamer who made his heart flutter. He’d spent a fortune just to make a beautiful girl smile, only for her to open her mouth and turn out to be a guy.
As a straight-as-an-arrow man, Liang Ye was about to unfollow him at once, but the streamer beat him to it and blocked him first.
It should have been nothing more than a slightly irritating little episode. Then the next day, he saw the streamer in person.
Without a screen between them, he looked even prettier.
Liang Ye’s long-dormant heart began to pound wildly, but he forced it back down. There was nothing he could do about it: he was a pure-blooded straight man.
Liang Ye at first: "Even if a comet hits Earth and the universe explodes, I could never like a guy!"
Even if he was beautiful, elegant, tall, and sweet-tempered.
Some time later, Liang Ye, wearing a max-level fan badge, solemnly announced to everyone: "I’m going to win Gu Yumian over!"
As for whose face got slapped so hard it echoed, Liang Ye said that didn’t matter.
Theme: Everyone deserves to be treated with sincerity.
