CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol-Chapter 31 - 29 How to Attract Followers

"Yuwei, you’ve found yourself a sugar daddy!"

Looking relaxed and blissful, Ye Yuwei returned to the dormitory, only to be greeted by Li Jiaqi with this remark.

"Eh! What sugar daddy? Teacher Wu has a solid background."

"I’m just worried you’ll be taken advantage of..."

"What could I possibly lose? There’s nothing they can trick me out of."

Ye Yuwei hummed a tune as she spoke, heading to the bathroom to wash her face.

In the mirror, she saw her reflection looking particularly radiant, exuding a hint of maturity.

"Yuwei, why is Teacher Wu helping you so much?"

"It’s just something she did casually. She’s a really nice person."

"Really?"

Yuwei turned helplessly to look at her friend: "Jiaqi, what’s gotten into you today? What could possibly happen between me and Teacher Wu!"

"I’m just concerned about you," Li Jiaqi followed closely behind Yuwei.

"Your concern is stressing me out..."

"Yuwei..."

"Jiaqi, stop overthinking. Good people outnumber bad people around us."

Li Jiaqi fell silent; she couldn’t say more or it would strain their relationship. Besides, Teacher Wu had indeed helped Ye Yuwei.

"Jiaqi, today is your livestream, right? Let’s do it together," Ye Yuwei cheerfully tugged her along.

In the past, every time Jiaqi felt the softness of Yuwei’s little hands, she’d experience a sense of peace and comfort. But now, it felt fleeting—like something she was going to lose.

"Alright! Let’s do our best. The ranking updates are coming soon," Li Jiaqi forced a smile and opened her "Pocket."

"Hi, sweetheart!"

"Hi, wifey!"

"Hi, hubby!"

Once inside Pocket, various greetings from fans poured in, all blunt and straightforward.

"I’m in perfect health—I can carry a sack of rice, a gas tank, but I can’t carry the weight of missing you."

"There are 100 ways to be sweet—eating sugar, cake, and thinking about you 98 times a day."

"My blood sugar is low. Hurry up and say something sweet to me."

These were the poetic sentiments from fans with a literary streak.

Whenever Li Jiaqi read messages like these, she’d feel a surge of energy through her body.

In truth, all little idols enjoy the feeling of being adored like this.

"Good evening, everyone! Have you eaten? I haven’t yet—been waiting for someone!"

Li Jiaqi half-jokingly started acting coy, which immediately triggered "howls of wolves" in the chat.

"You! You should eat less anyway; every time you say you want food and ask me to sell you something, it ends up being me who eats it. I suspect you’re trying to sabotage me," Ye Yuwei began jokingly playing along.

"No way! You always order double portions; you just tend to forget to bring two pairs of chopsticks!" Li Jiaqi said as she pulled Ye Yuwei into an embrace.

The moment the two long-haired beauties hugged, the chat exploded.

"No, no, don’t listen to her!"

Ye Yuwei repeatedly denied it, but she wriggled playfully in Li Jiaqi’s arms.

She knew exactly what their viewers wanted to see.

Sure enough, colorful comments filled the chat, and many viewers started gifting virtual drumsticks.

Li Jiaqi noticed that their Pocket livestream viewership had reached over 8,000 people.

This was an astonishing number.

Because even the most die-hard fans along the entire platform totaled only about 50,000 people.

Li Jiaqi knew that a large portion of these viewers had come for Ye Yuwei.

Sure enough, comments started calling out for Ye Yuwei:

"Yuwei wifey, I knew you’d be here."

"Yuwei, why aren’t you live streaming today? Did those people upset you?"

"Ye Yuwei, stay strong—we’ll always love you."

Reading these comments, Li Jiaqi felt pangs of nausea in her chest.

It was these same people who had engaged in slut-shaming her yesterday, and now they were showering her with saccharine words. These fans were truly something else.

"Yuwei, why are you still live streaming with Li Jiaqi? She’s leeching off you. Did she defend you when you had issues?"

"Yuwei, stop sticking with this nobody. Switch to a different CP!"

"Switching to whom? Xu Mengchen or Yu Manting? If not, maybe Bingbing Captain!"

"The ones upstairs must have their brains fried. The two of them are just fine. I’m really done with you toxic singles—if you can’t talk nicely, get out of Pocket."

Li Jiaqi began swiftly banning users. As for her old fans, she still remembered their usernames, especially since her fanbase wasn’t large in the past.

Those calling for them to separate and accusing her of leeching were unfamiliar faces—clearly troublemakers.

"I hope everyone doesn’t talk about Jiaqi like this, okay? She signed with the company two days before me, so she’s technically my senior and my role model," Ye Yuwei began guiding the narrative.

"Ye Yuwei is incredibly well-behaved, but lately she hasn’t been listening to her senior as much."

"No way! I’m the most obedient little kitty! Keep saying things like that and I’ll get mad and run away."

Ye Yuwei pretended to run off, and the viewers heard sounds of playful scuffling and giggling.

These unseen and intangible moments stirred vivid imaginations.

Comments teasing them flooded in as the viewers’ curiosity was completely piqued. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Then came a loud door-slamming noise.

"What happened? Did they really argue?"

"Wow! Did they pull each other’s hair?"

"I want to see beauties fight."

"I want to see fairies fight!!!"

A moment later, the sound of the door opening again was heard.

"Why are you back? Weren’t you fine staying in that other room?"

Upon hearing Li Jiaqi’s voice, viewers began speculating wildly, wishing they could crawl through the screen to see what was happening firsthand.

"Fine then! I’m leaving," Ye Yuwei’s angry voice sounded.

Then came another loud door slam. Next, viewers saw Li Jiaqi angrily sitting by the bed, and many noticed that her side profile was exceptionally beautiful.

Coupled with her "adorably" sulky expression, it was completely mesmerizing.

Suddenly, what had been a group of casual viewers found themselves silently pledging their loyalty to her.

A moment later, Li Jiaqi abruptly got up and rushed out.

As viewers continued to guess, their voices emerged again.

"From now on, even if you’re upset, you’re not allowed to run off to that other room, okay, Ye Yuwei?"

"Hey! Could you be any louder? The building’s about to collapse."

The viewers’ curiosity was completely stirred up.

"Which room did Ye Yuwei go to just now?"

"Based on timing, it should be no more than three rooms nearby—or maybe the one across the hall."

"Were they in Room 336?"

The fans were well aware the center of their speculations revolved around one particular room.

Li Jiaqi and Ye Yuwei watched the comments discussing and guessing off-camera.

The two exchanged a knowing smile; this was actually part of their planned little skit.

Previously, their livestreams had been casual chats about everyday life, singing, and dancing.

But after repeating the same formats for a while, they were bored of it. So, they decided to spice things up, stirring fans’ curiosity and creating more buzz around themselves.

By the time they returned to the screen, they were back to being a pair of inseparable besties.
