What’s this... do these kids born in the 00s not usually watch livestreams? Have we already... a generation gap with the 10s?
Yes!
Zhao Ruoxuan said to the livestream audience, "Alright, that’s all for today’s livestream. I’m going offline now."
She put away her phone and asked, "Brother Nan, where are you headed now?"
Li Younan pointed to a small supermarket nearby. "Going to buy so things. Do you need anything? I can get it for you while I’m at it."
Zhao Ruoxuan thought for a mont. "I’ll go with you."
This was the first ti the two had spent ti alone, without their parents around, and Zhao Ruoxuan was more open about her true self.
She said boldly, "Brother Younan, I heard you quit your job. Shanghai is such a great place. Why did you co back?"
The two of them walked lazily into the supermarket. Li Younan picked things out while glancing at Zhao Ruoxuan, smiling. "Shanghai is nice, but have you ever been there?"
Zhao Ruoxuan paused, silent for a mont. "I haven’t been, but Shanghai must be better than here."
"That depends on how you evaluate it," Li Younan said casually, without rebutting or concluding anything.
He picked out his items and went to pay. Zhao Ruoxuan pondered a mont and then asked, "So what are you doing for work now? Are you making as much as you did in Shanghai?"
Li Younan chuckled lightly. "Do you care a lot about how much you make?" He grabbed a chocolate bar by the cashier to pay for along with his items and added, "But now, I’m making a lot more than before."
Zhao Ruoxuan paused, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Li Younan didn’t elaborate. After paying, they leisurely walked back.
...
The next day, even though they got up relatively early, Mom isn’t quick with her hands, even a bit nagging, and took her ti.
Li Younan didn’t rush her, just waited slowly.
By the ti Mom was ready to leave, it was already past 9 o’clock.
Zhao Ruoxuan’s mom, Zhao Xiaofang, said a bit speechlessly, "We’re going into the gorge today, didn’t you think to get up early? I don’t know what to say to you."
Mom didn’t argue back. "It’s like you just t ... why get mad?"
When they arrived at the entrance to the scenic area, as expected, it was crowded with lines of people, a sea of humanity.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiaofang sighed in exasperation. Li Younan felt a slight weight in his heart, wondering how long it would take to get into the scenic area with so many people.
Only Mom was curiously looking around, "So many people..."
While in line, they got separated from Zhao Ruoxuan and her mom. Li Younan took out his phone and started a livestream.
Before long, viewers started pouring into the livestream, quickly reaching over a thousand.
Li Younan showed everyone the crowd scene and said with a smile, "We’ve arrived at Jiuzhaigou. This is the entrance to the park."
The comnts were flying by with various ssages. Li Younan didn’t have ti to read them.
Surprisingly, despite the crowd, people flowed in almost continuously without stopping, endlessly streaming into the scenic area.
Expecting to wait in line for hours, they were on the park shuttle in less than 10 minutes.
The two moms agreed to et at the Luorilang transfer station.
Li Younan witnessed the spectacular park managent capabilities akin to the best in dostic scenic areas at Jiuzhaigou.
A queue that seed endless was managed within about 20 minutes, and everyone was ferried to the attractions.
The entire Jiuzhaigou scenic area was vast, with tens of thousands of people evenly distributed under the intelligent scheduling system, making it seem almost empty.
Li Younan and his mom got off the shuttle at the Nuorilang transfer station, waiting idly for Zhao Ruoxuan and her mom, while continuing to livestream.
Mom warmly greeted the friends in the livestream.
Soon, another shuttle stopped at the Nuorilang transfer station.
Zhao Ruoxuan hopped off first, holding a selfie stick, proudly introducing the place to her audience.
Behind her, Zhao Xiaofang sighed helplessly.
Then, Zhao Ruoxuan noticed Li Younan not far away also livestreaming. A quirky smile appeared on her face as she walked toward him, eyes fixed on his phone. "Brother Younan, you’ve started livestreaming?"
Li Younan blinked as countless comnts popped up in his livestream: "Who’s calling you?"
Compared to Zhao Ruoxuan, who had all the selfie stick equipnt, Li Younan’s livestream seed makeshift, just holding his phone.
Next to him, Mom smiled, "Oh, Ruoxuan, you’re livestreaming too, so you and Younan are in the sa business?"
Zhao Ruoxuan said proudly, "Auntie, I’m different from Brother Younan. This is Younan’s first ti livestreaming, right? I’m actually doing it for real. I’ve got 70 people in my livestream right now!"
Li Younan’s mom was taken aback, a bit puzzled. It sounded like 70 was already a big number? Then what about the 6000 viewers in her son’s livestream?
At that mont, Zhao Ruoxuan leaned over to look at Li Younan’s phone. "Brother Younan, how many people are in your livestream?"
Then she saw the viewer count on Li Younan’s screen still climbing.
Her expression froze instantly.
