Lin Leyao's voice was always soft, like a dandelion seed scattered by the wind on a sunlit grassland. White fluff drifted into her ear with the wind, gently touching her earlobe and leaving a shiver.
Xin Ying was drawn to Lin Leyao's voice and listened quietly.
Suddenly, after talking for half an hour, Lin Leyao asked, "Would you like to see the kitchen?"
"Let me show you the ingredients for today first, and then we'll chat for another twenty minutes before I start cooking."
After saying that, Lin Leyao stood up, covering her phone as she prepared to leave.
Seeing her action, Xin Ying closed the book she hadn't been reading at all.
Lin Leyao changed her phone camera to a front-facing one. The study was on the second floor, and the kitchen was on the first floor, so Lin Leyao still had to go downstairs.
This villa is where she and Xin Ying live. Lin Leyao didn't want to expose too much, so she pointed the camera downwards, across her feet and the stairs, and walked all the way to the kitchen.
The journey from the second floor to the kitchen took extremely short time for Lin Leyao, but for viewers watching the live stream, it felt like an eternity.
Especially those who have experienced the sudden disappearance of people who were originally on the screen, followed by a black screen, and finally the screen lights up and the image appears, only to find that it is a long-term view of the ground.
Lin Leyao entered the kitchen, her eyes fixed on her phone, where she saw a series of question marks in the comments section.
Lin Leyao realized the reason after a moment's thought and couldn't help but laugh.
She pointed the camera at the ingredients that had already been prepared on the stove and said, "Let me show you the ingredients."
Nowadays, some popular and high-profile celebrities rarely do live streams anymore, except for live stream events for brands they endorse.
Lin Leyao's charity live stream this time not only attracted her fans, but also the attention of many netizens.
The live stream was very lively, with people talking about all sorts of things.
However, fans familiar with Lin Leyao have already noticed something within the first few tens of minutes of the broadcast.
A fan asked in the live chat, "Did Le Yao move to a new house?"
After showing everyone the ingredients, Lin Leyao didn't leave the kitchen; she just squatted on the ground and continued her live stream.
Upon seeing this comment, Lin Leyao didn't hide anything and replied, "Yes, I moved to a new house."
Many netizens asked, "What's that at the kitchen doorway? The camera just panned across it."
"The kitchen doorway?" Lin Leyao walked to the doorway and looked around, then said, "There's a bar counter next to it, but nothing else."
After Lin Leyao finished speaking, she noticed that Xin Ying, who had been in the study, had also come downstairs and was now sitting in the living room.
Lin Leyao withdrew her gaze, returned to the kitchen, and said, "I'm starting to cook."
Lin Leyao made something very simple: a simple curry rice.
Lin Leyao began to introduce her cooking methods to the camera in a very serious manner.
"First, the first step in making curry rice is to cook the rice."
Lin Leyao took the rice cooker and put the washed rice into it.
She said to the camera, "The plug is over there, out of the camera's view. I took the rice cooker over there to cook rice."
After finishing these tasks, Lin Leyao began processing the carrots, potatoes, and chicken.
Lin Leyao cut the whole ingredients apart one by one. When she made a cut, the onion on the cutting board not only failed to be cut, but also flew out with a "bang" and fell to the ground.
The onion rolled to the kitchen doorway. Just as Lin Leyao was about to pick it up, Xin Ying, who had been standing at the door, had already picked it up.
The phone camera was always pointed to the right, not capturing the doorway or the left side. Xin Ying not only didn't leave, but also went into the kitchen. However, she walked to the back of the phone on the left side and watched Lin Leyao cook.
Lin Leyao, holding the onion, quickly returned to her phone screen.
Xin Ying watched intently as Lin Leyao chopped vegetables.
She knew Lin Leyao couldn't cook, so just in case something went wrong, she came in specifically to watch her cook.
Soon, all the ingredients were put into the pot. Lin Leyao was cooking when the doorbell rang outside.
Lin Leyao was completely focused on the food in the pot and didn't hear the doorbell ring outside.
Xin Ying heard it immediately, but she didn't go out.
The doorbell stopped for a few seconds, then suddenly rang again, the sound continuous and making my nerves pound.
Xin Ying went straight out of the kitchen.
Lin Leyao's attention was drawn to Xin Ying's action, and soon she also heard the doorbell ring outside.
"Someone's coming!"
As she spoke, Lin Leyao got excited and accidentally knocked the phone stand askew, causing the phone screen to instantly turn towards the kitchen doorway. Lin Leyao was startled and quickly straightened the phone.
Lin Leyao also ran out of the kitchen.
Just as Lin Leyao walked out, Xin Ying came in carrying a styrofoam box.
Xin Ying leaned close to Lin Leyao and whispered, "Fourth Brother sent over some fresh abalone. Go do your live stream. I'll stand at the door and watch over you. I won't go in and bother you."
Lin Leyao nodded and went back to the kitchen.
As soon as she reached the kitchen door, Lin Leyao suddenly realized something was wrong. Xin Ying walked up to her and smelled a peculiar odor coming from the kitchen. She raised her eyebrows in shock.
Lin Leyao exclaimed "Ah!" and ran inside, only to find that the contents of her pot were indeed burnt to a crisp.
Lin Leyao turned off the stove and looked at her phone screen somewhat awkwardly.
The comments section was flooded with messages like, "Turn off the heat!!" and "It's burnt!!"
Celebrity fans can't stand the word "flop," so Lin Leyao's fans quickly commented: "Don't say 'flop'! It means 'burnt black'!"
Lin Leyao quickly said, "Let's not make curry rice. Someone just delivered the ingredients, let's make something else."
Lin Leyao took out the abalone that Xin Sinan had sent and made a bowl of abalone porridge.
Watching Lin Leyao frantically trying to do something inside, Xin Ying stood at the door, her eyes crinkling into a smile.
After Lin Leyao finished making this abalone porridge, her live stream lasted forty minutes longer than originally planned.
Once the cooking is finished, the live stream should end.
Lin Leyao looked at her phone screen. She had been live streaming for more than two hours, and many viewers had gradually lost interest and started to leave the live stream. At this point, the majority of those remaining were her fans.
Before ending her broadcast, Lin Leyao wanted to say a few more words to everyone.
Suddenly, someone in the live chat asked, "Was there someone in the video just now? Do you have anyone else at home?"
Are you in a relationship?
"There's another person in the kitchen; I just filmed them."
Many similar comments appeared in the live chat.
Lin Leyao stared at it for a while, then suddenly said, "I'm not the only one in my family."
Xin Ying was leaning against the kitchen door looking at her phone when she heard Lin Leyao's words and immediately looked up.
Xin Ying looked at Lin Leyao and saw her waving at her.
Xin Ying pondered for a moment, then walked over.
Suddenly, a hand landed on Lin Leyao's shoulder, and then Xin Ying's face was clearly revealed in the live stream.
Hello.
After Xin Ying finished speaking, the live stream chat paused for a moment, and then various "ah" characters flooded the chat.
Xin Ying appeared in Lin Leyao's live stream, and screenshots of Xin Ying's appearance were instantly forwarded and circulated by major marketing accounts and influential figures.
Many netizens flocked to Lin Leyao's live stream, at which point Lin Leyao said goodbye to everyone.
"We're going to eat now, that's all for today's live stream."
After that, the live stream was cut off.

Chapter 84
The live stream has ended.
Lin Leyao was still a little dazed after a long time.
The doorbell rang suddenly during the live stream. She accidentally bumped her phone at that moment, and may have captured Xin Ying's back as she went out.
When Lin Leyao suddenly saw people in the live stream discussing having family members in their household, she was taken aback at first, but she quickly calmed down.
Although she had very little time to think about it, she quickly figured it out and made her own decision.
She waved to Xin Ying, who didn't hesitate and appeared on the live stream, greeting her fans in a generous manner.
There was no hesitation or awkwardness; it was frank and generous.
Lin Leyao has wanted to stand openly with Xin Ying in front of their fans for a long time.
She may have acted impulsively today, but she doesn't regret it.
Xin Ying saw Lin Leyao staring blankly at her, looking somewhat dazed, and smiled as she ruffled her hair.
"Why are you spacing out?"
Lin Leyao blinked and smiled.
Xin Ying served her a bowl of abalone porridge and placed it in front of her. Lin Leyao's face quickly lit up with a smile.
She opened her mouth as if to say something, but then her phone rang.
It was Xiao Yan calling; I didn't expect her to call right after the live stream ended.
Although both are in S City, today's live broadcast was entirely done by Lin Leyao alone.
