~Long time no see!

bgm: My World (我爱的这个世界), Till the End of the Moon OST LYN: ? I can’t see if there are people in the room, can you? Let me check on weibo... Oh. I can see it now. // I waited for a while and I have only now started seeing the comments. Excuse me. LYN: ?? The gifting option isn’t closed? Huh? Why is that... I don’t know why it’s on. It must be something on wb’s side. Let me tell one of my staff to contact them. It’s alright. Don’t send me any presents, friends!! This is something that can only be closed on wb’s side, I can’t turn it off myself. Let me tell them. Let me tell them, hold on a second. Don’t send me any presents, you don’t need to. // Maybe it’s been too long since I’ve streamed so there’s a mistake in my settings records. It’s alright. Long time no see.

C: Have you gotten thinner again? LYN: I have a bit of shanghuo so I’m not thin right now. But yes, I’ve gotten a bit thinner.

LYN: The song you’ve been listening to is My World (我爱的这个世界). It’s the opening theme song of a fairly hot drama right now, called Till the End of the Moon. It was my honor to have participated in this drama and sing a song for it. If you have the time, I hope you can watch the drama and listen to my song; it’s called “My World (我爱的这个世界)” LYN: I have also sung a song for Nothing But You, but it’s a character song for the role Wu Lei plays. I guess this counts as a second partnership with Wu Lei, yeah? To some degree, it counts. We may not have been able to work together again acting, but in terms of music- this is my second time working with him. bgm: Guest Acts as Host (反客为主), Nothing But You OST

C: WB did on purpose, right? LYN: You think that wb turned on the gifting option on purpose? Look at that- a prime example of “以小人之心，度君子之腹” (judging unfairly a noble person with one’s own despicable mind). WB is such a large platform, do you really think they need to tun on the gifting option for my stream to make a profit? How much money do you think my fans give me?? WB doesn’t need your chump change. That’s definitely not it- there must have been a problem with the settings. Friends, don’t send me any gifts! LYN: You all, really... broaden your horizons!

C: The video and sound don’t match up. LYN: Are you being serious? No way, right? It’s fine, let me reset then. // If it’s still not synced up for you, it’s probably that you lagged and need to come back into the room. Leave and come back, and I’m guessing it will be in sync. My internet is working fine. LYN: I can’t say for anything else, but in terms of my streaming equipment- oh, no. Look at that. I was in such a rush to stream that I forgot to turn my lights on. No wonder the stream is lacking that little bit. /turns the bar light on/ Alright! It’s different already. The lights really change the mood.

LYN: This song is called Guest Acts as Host (反客为主) and it is a character song in Nothing But You. If you have the time you can check out Nothing But You and Till the End of the Moon. They’re both really great dramas. Very nice. Please support them, ok?

LYN: Friends, let me tell you again- don’t send me any gifts. There’s no need to. My stream is just for me to come chat with you, and I don’t rely on streaming to make any money. Secondly, when you gift it affects other people’s viewing experience- we can’t see the comments because they get blocked. Let’s not gift, alright? Honestly, I can’t even see who gifted so even if I wanted to thank you, I can’t. Just don’t gift, alright? It makes me uncomfortable, ok? If you really wanted to spend some money, you can go spend it on some products of brands that I’ve collaborated with. How does that sound? Givenchy, L’Oreal, Chunzhen, etc. You can support the brands I’m working with but there’s no need for you to gift me while I stream. LYN: If you buy something from a bran I’ve worked with online, just leave a note that you are my fan. I also do online shopping, and sometimes after I make my purchase I find out that the artist that the brand has collaborated with is someone I know. Then I make a comment saying, “I’m a fan of [Insert Artist/Celeb Here].” I just want to support my idol. Then when it’s all said and done I take a screenshot of it and I’ll send it to that friend. “I bought the product you are promoting. I support you!” Normally, those who have sense will send you the money back. “You bought it? That’s alright, I’ll gift it to you. How much was it, I’ll pay.” Then you reply, “No need, no need. It was just 1800RMB.” XD Usually they will send you money back and you end up getting the product for free. That’s what I THINK, at least. Up until now not one of my friends has done that, though. When I send my friends such a screenshot, they will usually only send me two words in reply: “Thank you.” /sigh/ LYN: That’s why there’s that saying, friends. The more money people have, the more stingy they are with it. X’D

LYN: Okay- the gifts are closed now, right? See- wb always does things promptly and efficiently. I had a problem and they were able to resolve it right away. They’re great. It’s closed already. C: There are still presents, though? LYN: I think it’s probably left over from earlier- it hasn’t passed yet. Let it finish scrolling and that’ll be the end of it. The gifting option is closed now. C: It’s not... LYN: If it’s not then go out and then come back in. I already told you, wb isn’t lacking your money. They didn’t do it on purpose. If it’s not off for you yet then I think your stream is lagging. It’s already off. They’re very efficient.

C: Ning-ge, is your foot alright? LYN: Yesterday... I was doing some fight scenes. I’ll have to do a lot of fight scenes coming up. What happened was... I fell over while I was attacking someone else. This character is all about the two words: fierce and cruel. When I’m on the battlefield, I’m in it until they die or I die. I had thrown my sword and lost my balance and ended up on my butt. I saw that the media blogs were saying I was doing a fight scene and stepped in a puddle and twisted my ankle or whatever. I didn’t twist it. I’m not that fragile. It’s alright- I just ended up sitting on the floor, is all. My butt hurts a little but nowhere else does. LYN: I know a lot of you are worried because my foot isn’t completely healed yet. It’s not healed, but what happened yesterday wasn’t a big deal. I’m fine. C: Is your butt okay? LYN: /laughs/ You don’t need to worry about it. We should still maintain some distance. I’m doing fine.

C: /telling him someone has entered the stream.. Zhao Yingzi (??)/ LYN: I haven’t been to Beijing in a long time. There are a lot of friends I haven’t met in a while. Welcome, Yingzi-jie.

C: Have you confirmed your next drama yet? LYN: I haven’t booked it yet... but I was thinking, a few days ago, I was wondering if I should take a little break. I was considering whether I should take a break, because I’ve been in Hengdian for pretty much three years. Hengdian feels like my second hometown now. With all the guzhuang dramas I’ve been filming, I’ve been in Hengdian for three straight years. I really haven’t been out to other cities in a long while. All of the scripts for later are pretty much just guzhuang dramas but I’m starting to not be able to keep up. Just the slightest bit unable to keep up, you know? LYN: I had a friend ask me the other day what I was planning next and I told them I wanted to do a modern drama. They asked me why I didn’t want to do guzhuang dramas anymore, and I told them it’s because I’ve been in Hengdian for three years- I’ve done five back-to-back guzhuang dramas. Ever since I debuted (as an actor) I’ve only done the one modern drama with Tao-jie in Chengdu and all the rest were guzhuang dramas. I’m a little... tired. But then I backtracked and said, “But if there’s a good script, I will definitely take it.” If it’s a project or role that I really like, it doesn’t matter if I have to shoot another guzhuang drama.

LYN: Honestly though, if there isn’t a good modern drama script that I like I probably... I’ll take a break. I could work on my music or join a variety show. It’ll be good to quiet my mind. But I’m just afraid- you all know me, because you’ve followed me for 3-5 years now- I’m an anxious person. If I don’t have work, I start to worry. That’s why whether it’s with acting or singing- I haven’t stopped once these past three years. But when June of this year marks the five year anniversary of my debut. I was thinking of taking a break, but I don’t know- I’m conflicted. It’s alright. In a few days I’ll take a look at the scripts that have come through and consider picking one; if there’s nothing I particularly like or that suits me It’s possible that I will take a break. C: Ning-ge, shoot another one and then rest. LYN: Why do another? In any case, I’m free after ZY so I might consider it.

C: You’re losing hair. LYN: Yeah, the wig keeps losing hair. I don’t know what’s up with it. I’m not losing my real hair- don’t say nonsense. I have a brand collab! This is a wig- /I’M/ not losing hair. Shush.

C: You’re not thinking about holding a concert? LYN: I am. I have a lot of things to consider, so don’t rush. Just follow along to my rhythm and don’t mess me up. I have a lot to think about. I was thinking about the concert but there are a lot of problems with it. It doesn’t warrant sharing. LYN: I could hold a concert... but I really wanted to have at least two of my dramas air this year before I held it! I’ve been working on dramas all this time, and I wanted at least two of them to air, so that I would show up in front of the public to some degree. Even if I don’t become popular from them, at least people would scroll past my face. After they’ve seen it in passing, THEN I would hold my concert. But look at me now- none of the dramas that have completed filming are ready to be broadcast yet. I don’t have the face to go on a concert tour- once I start it’ll be at least 10 stops. I’m sure that with my amount of fans the first 5-6 stops will be no problem, but I’m worried about the latter 5-4 stops. What happens if I sell 8k tickets and then at the end there are still 5k left over?? It’ll be embarrassing. It’s just not a reasonable thing to do, right now.

- /comments grilling him about the ALZ air date again/ LYN: How would I know when it airs? Even if you see something going around online about it, at most it’s going to be a predicted air date and nothing for sure. Whether it ACTUALLY airs or not is a different story. I can’t be here telling you when it’ll air for sure. The probability is pretty soon, though. It shouldn’t be a problem for it to air soon. LYN: I was notified to supplement a few lines of dialogue. I’m guessing there are some adjustments to the script. I haven’t gone to do them yet... But it’ll air soon, don’t rush. It’s no use asking me because you really won’t be able to get an answer here. I really don’t know but even if I did I wouldn’t just blurt it out. I know there are hordes of people just watching out for my streams. LYN: I made a simple mistake the other time and said I had 300 or so scenes in ALZ and then I got chewed out by the internet. They were all saying I had resources to add in scenes for me. I only have 200 or so scenes- I misspoke is all. That’s why I’m afraid to say anything, now.

C: Are you watching Till the End of the Moon? LYN: All the dramas I sing for, I more or less watch. Including Nothing But You and Romance of a Twin Flower... any drama I’ve sung for I watch a little. First of all- if the platform is looking for me to sing an OST for them, it means they really have good taste. For such a good producer and platform to find me to sing a song for them means they have good taste; so the dramas they make will all definitely be well done. Of course I have to take a look. I have to watch their outstanding products. Secondly, I have to watch to see if there is anything I can learn from these young and upstanding actors. I want to see how they act and performance techniques, to learn. I also watch to see how the drama is created, from the director’s perspective. I want to gain some knowledge and experience.

C: Ning-ge, you’re trending. LYN: Is it for something good or something bad? What is it today? LYN: Is it good? Main topics at #27? What’s the topic, friends? Don’t scare me. C: “Liu Yuning Livestream” LYN: Oh, then that’s okay. No problem there. That counts as something positive. LYN: I’m on the main tab? I don’t believe that I deserve to be trending on the main tab. The most I can get to is the entertainment tab at #50.

C: Can you turn the speaking volume up? LYN: /adjusts the mic/ Is it very small? Maybe you can wear some headphones or turn your cellphone audio up...? My setting is already pretty high? How about this- is it better now? /testing/ It should be loud enough now. I was just thinking that if I sing I need to have the volume a little lower. It’s better now. I’ve turned it up. LYN: I’m sure it’s loud enough now. The mic is about to “explode.”

C: Ning-ge, recently you’ve upgraded to “God of War for Love” LYN: I’m not that impressive. It’s just that I might be a “security guard of love” in TtEotM. It seems like the other 12 or so songs are very strong? Whether I have the ability to safeguard someone’s love is up to the production crew. It all depends on which scenes they put my song over in the drama. Actually, my song loses out, friends. I used to be called the “Security Guard of Love”, right? Why was I called that? It’s because- wait, actually can we call me the “Bodyguard”? Security and Bodyguards wear two different outfits. Security guards just wear the uniform; Bodyguards wear suits. Let’s go with “bodyguard.” Anyway, what people meant by this nickname was that once the male and female leads started being sweet with each other my song would start playing. That’s where the name came from. But the problem is, my song is at more of a loss. Because it’s an opening theme song, so it has to match with certain scenes. LYN: Just think about it- the male and female leads are about to kiss, and then here comes my voice, “I’m not afraid of how the world treats me~” Isn’t that strange? “I’ll argue, I’ll refute, struggle not to see Gods or Buddha.” It isn’t really suitable. But! When IS it suitable for this song to make it’s appearance? It’s- and I don’t mean to curse- but when the ML and FL start f*cking each other up. When they’re just about to break up and have a big showdown- that’s when my song is appropriate to be played. When there’s still love in the heart but you still want to hurt each other- that’s when my song is suitable. Only when they’re about to start fighting. If they’re starting to be sweet, then I don’t think this song can save them. I already tried my best. That’s just the style of this song.

C: Turn on the lyrics. LYN: I’ve always had it on but I don’t know why these past few times I haven’t been able to get it to work. Let me see... Maybe if I restart my music program it will let me show the lyrics. I don’t know why it won’t do it today; it was like this the last time I changed my computer, too. See- it’s telling me to turn on the lyrics function, but it’s already on. It’s just not saving me any face. /shrug/ Doesn’t matter. I’ll see if I can get it fixed another day. Don’t worry about it- it’s not important. It’ll be fixed the next time.

C: Lao-da, how about a mouthful (a kiss)? LYN: What are you talking about?? I was saying the ML and FLs were going to take a mouthful (out of each other)! What do I need to get involved for?? LYN: Alright, alright. Here’s a mouthful for you. Cheers. LYN: Here’s the thing- a lot of my fans are on the older side. One thing is that many of you are already married and another portion have kids who are all grown. If I say something that makes you feel something, you can go find your husbands for a kiss! What are you telling me for?? I’m sure your husband is home from work right now and resting- go get a kiss from him. Go, go. I’ll play a song to wait for you. C: I’M SINGLE! LYN: Who are you telling that to?? You want me to find you a partner? I can’t help you- if you want to find one, you’ll have to look for yourself. I can’t help there. I hope that one day, you too, will find someone to get a kiss out of. For the moment, I can’t help you. C: Ning-ge, I’m only 18. I don’t have a boy/girlfriend yet. LYN: No, don’t tell me. It has nothing to do with me, so you don’t have to tell me. I don’t need to know such private information about you, and I don’t WANT to know.

C: Gege, I’m a new fan. LYN: Don’t call me “gege”. When you call me that, then I know you are a new fan. In my house, no one calls me “gege”. I feel like only cool handsome boys can be called “gege”. Let’s be closer than that- let’s be neighbors. Don’t call me “gege”- I can’t take it. Call me “Ning-ge” if you’re younger than me. “Xiao Ning” if you’re older. Or... “Da-ge” or “Lao-da” are okay as well. Just not “gege” because I feel like you’re not trying to address me. I am not “gege”. My old fans pretty much all call me “Lao-da.” I’m just used to it. LYN: Alright, enough. I’m trying to stream here, stop trying to provoke me. My wig isn’t on right today. If I were a little more handsome then you can provoke me a little. But my appearance today is not handsome enough for it, so you can stop, okay? Next time, next time.

- /Wayne Zhang is in the chat/ LYN: See? Sometimes having a trending topic is a good thing, because then some celebrities might wander in. Now we have one. Since I’m trending, now everyone knows that LYN is live-streaming, so even if they came to watch a monkey, they will still swing by. Even if you don’t like me, you’ll still come in to take a look. Thanks to everyone who made this trending topic possible, and thanks to wb. Of course, you can also go into the topic and leave your opinions of it there. Alright? Thanks, everyone. Once the discussion starts getting heated, then the topic rises in ranks, too. XD - C: Ning-ge, I’ll call you “Hou-ge” (Monkey-bro). LYN: 去你的. - LYN: If you go into the topic today and leave a comment, you can all get a 5yuan discount on my concert ticket from my stream. Go and leave a comment, and we’ll send it to you. But you can only use one coupon per ticket. Alright, go. C: Ning-ge, you’re not giving eggs this time? LYN: Do you think I am a supermarket? I won’t be giving eggs, I can’t manage it. - C: The coupon won’t expire? LYN: As long as I’m still alive it will be valid. One day when I’m gone it automatically expires.

LYN: It’s been a while since I streamed last. These days I’ve been doing 10+ scenes a day. The most is 13 in one day- it almost dazed me. Today our drama group shoots posters- you know the kind you see normally when a drama is about to air? The FL and I have spent all day shooting posters. I was in hair and makeup at 6:30a, we did one scene, and then the rest of the day was spent shooing promo posters (海报). Not the kind of “haibao” that you see in the aquarium (seal = 海豹). If we went to pet seals, that’d be something. But no, we went to shoot posters. Up until now this is the drama that I’ve spent the most time on shooting posters for. I took so many pictures I got tired- so tired that my smile turned numb. C: Ning-ge, are you the male lead? LYN: In ZY I’m just a background actor. I know a lot of friends ask me if it’s okay for them to come be a background actor in the dramas I am cast in. Let me tell you- even background actors need an entrance card. Not everyone can do it! Don’t just assume that if even if you can’t act, you can come be a background actor. Not everyone can do it; you need to have some basic techniques. Friends, let me give you a crash course in “how to be a background actor” right now.

LYN: There are three basic ways to perform. I know a lot of you watching might have an interest in performing but if you really wanted to be a background actor- in my five years of experience acting- the group actors have to be skilled in these three things. 1. Create the Atmosphere. Usually these types of characters have some dialogue. You need to stick your hand out. Watch this. For example, there’s a drunk guy in the front- just a beggar who does nothing. This is how a group actor would perform, you’d stand at the side and do this: “Beat him to death! Beat him to death!” Isn’t it simple?? Have you learned it already?! It’s something you can understand immediately. You can’t just stand there and yell, though. That lacks feel. You have to use your fist. /pumps his arm up and down while chanting, “Beat him to death!”/ 2. Point and Comment. Usually this occurs when the emperor or a general, or the handsome male lead enters through the city doors. There are commoners on either side of the path, and they will point and comment. /demonstrates/ As long as you’ve mastered the “Point and Comment” you are one step closer to becoming a group actor. The P&C isn’t only used in this one situation, either. /gives another example of when to use this technique/ You can use this in a lot of places. You got the second technique down now, right? 3. Peddler. Among the group actors, you could be a passerby or you could be a vendor. Now you’ll need some ability to say lines. The other one was okay- we all know how to say “Beat him to death!”, right? The second technique didn’t require lines- you just need to use your hands to point. Now the third technique needs some basic training. If you’re a peddler, you’ll need to say something like, “Biscuits! One for 5 yuan! Come try it! Warm, fresh biscuits! Lady, please take a look! These are our shop’s best products.” Now for this you’ll need some basic skills; you have to be able to lure people in. Once you’ve got these three basics, plus a “art of dying” (??) down, you can come to Hengdian to be a background actor. It’s possible that you could participate in some drama. “Candied hawthornes! Come take a look!!” You have to have a loud voice, too. LYN: Of course, there are more detailed performances, but I don’t understand the nuances and I have no right to teach you. But if you want to be a background actor, come to the interview with these three basics down first and your success rate might be higher. Your success rate might be higher, but whether you actually get the job or not is a different story. Many of you want to come be background actors, so I’ve just given you a couple of tips on challenges you might face if you ever come to interview. I’ve told you the topics so now you can go learn.

LYN: Friends, take what I say in my streams as “for fun” only, alright? I don’t recommend for you to come and be background actors, because in reality they work very hard. It’s very hard work. I just want to say that this is only a small topic of my stream, and you should listen for entertainment purposes only. But I certainly don’t mind if you come; just know that it’s hard work. C: If I act as a body (corpse) would I have a better time? LYN: I know you’re thinking that all you have to do is lie on the floor. But think about it more- You want to lay on the floor in the dead of winter? Do you think we’re setting down heating mats for you first? You’ll probably be wearing a layer of clothing and once you’re on the floor you’ll be laying there all night. It’ll do a number on your body. So don’t come... unless this is your dream (to be an actor). If you just want to come to get a taste of what it’s like then I don’t suggest it.

C: Trending on main at #7. LYN: Thank you, friends. That discount is guaranteed. LYN: I want to welcome the new friends to my stream. Sometimes when I have time I come to chat. If you still haven’t subscribed to my weibo, please do so. I am Modern Brothers Liu Yuning. Welcome all.

C: If you’re acting as a body, can you still breathe? LYN: Em... it’s better if you don’t. But if we don’t let you breathe, you’re going to die for real. The thing is when the camera is rolling, it’s not always going to be aimed at you- because you’re just a background actor. The camera won’t always be on you, but it might pass over you. At that time you can hold your breath and pretend not to be breathing. You can breathe again when the camera has passed you. We want you to come and perform as a corpse, not for you to come play a corpse and ACTUALLY become one. We don’t need that. LYN: In that case you’d be TOO invested in the drama. There’s no need. “Ning-ge, let me go perform as a background actor. I can go a whole night without breathing.” You’d be dead! Let’s try not to do that, please. C: Then if I am acting as a corpse, should I roll my eyes (show the whites of them)? LYN: /laughs/ There’s no need! You just need to close your eyes and try to even out your breathing and that’s enough. What do you need to roll your eyes for?? You’ve left the world, but still want to show how much you despised it? You can’t do that. Just try to be as realistic as possible. Plain and simple. C: Do I need to spit blood? LYN: Spitting blood... it depends. It depends on how you- what type of body you are. Some need you to spit blood and for others you’re face down anyway so no one will see it.

C: Can I lay there and fall asleep? LYN: If you CAN sleep, that’s okay. Just don’t snore. I will often see some background actors around set when we are practicing lines, and they’re off to the side: /snoring/. I was dumbfounded. Another was acting as a corpse and started snoring. I said, “...If you’re too sleepy, then you should go back and rest. Go back (home) to sleep. Don’t sleep here.” I even advised the co-director to tell them to go back. It’s sad. I encountered this situation at least two or three times. We were practicing lines and you start hearing snoring from the sides. /fierce dialogue, followed up by snoring X’D/ We’re so bad at fighting we make the other party sleep. C: Cover da-ge with a blanket. LYN: No need. He’s just too tired and should go back (home) to sleep. He’s worked hard. We shouldn’t need to waste his time and make him sleep on set. Let him go rest.

C: When will ALZ air? [t/n: dude... stop asking him this question...] LYN: This question has come in so many times already today. I guess there’s some news circulating online that says when ALZ is going to air, is that it? They already made some sort of announcement? Honestly, as one of the actors myself, I don’t even know when it will air. The last time I heard anything, it was that it would air in September 2022. That was the last time I heard of it. As to what the new date is, I did not receive any information about it. - C: This is my first time catching LYN’s livestream. LYN: Welcome. - C: It already finished airing... LYN: /laugh/ No, it didn’t. The last bit of information I knew about it has already expired. It shouldn’t have aired yet. It can’t have. I’m guessing it should be soon, though. I’m guessing... can I predict a date? No, wait- I shouldn’t. LYN: I really don’t know.

C: You starting streaming and you didn’t tell me?? You’re too much. LYN: ... What do you mean?? The next time I stream... what, do you want me to call you directly? “Hello [insert name]. I’m going to be streaming later.” That’s not necessary. I suppose you mean that weibo didn’t send you a notification? That’s why you should hit “subscribe”- that way it will tell you when I’m streaming.

C: When is ZY wrapping? LYN: We’re going to be moving location to Xiangshan soon. After that, the wrap will probably be around the end of May.

C: Are you watching TtEotM? LYN: Someone asked me that already- I did watch a little. I always watch some of the dramas that I sing for. Because I think that for the platform to find me to sing for their project means that they have good taste. I like to see what type of dramas people with good taste will make. So I can learn. I really do watch. - C: Trending at #6. LYN: I saw it. It’s rare. I just stream and can get a topic at #6? - C: Then, do you have platform memberships? LYN: Here’s the thing, friends. As an actor, I have memberships to every platform. That’s the truth. Youku, Tencent, iQIYI, and MangoTV. I have memberships to them all. Today Mango even took 20RMB from my account because I signed up for automatic billing. I have them all- even though I have not been in a MangoTV drama yet- but the other platforms all think highly enough of me that they are willing to let me be in their dramas. So the least I can do is sign up for membership. Mutual respect. I’m a Super VIP. Any comments I make come up in rainbow colors- I can choose what color I make my text. C: Let me borrow (your memberships). LYN: You don’t have a membership? You can make one. Right? I mean, you’re free to sign up for a membership or not- that’s your own freedom. But it’s like this- when I have dramas airing, please sign up then, okay? You can sign up and pay for a membership when dramas that I am in are airing. That’s my small request to you. Thank you. LYN: Now people are starting to make trouble. “What do you mean, LYN? That means that as long as there is not a drama with you in it that is airing, then we can’t sign up for memberships on those three platforms?? What you mean is that if not for you, then people shouldn’t buy a membership, isn’t that right?” How naughty. This is a bad person, friends. There’s no good way to answer this question. They’re breaking down my word choice to use against me. I said, “When my dramas air, please sign up for a membership.” Then they’re going to say, “What do you mean?? That means that we shouldn’t have a membership to watch the dramas you sang OSTs for like Nothing But You or Romance of A Twin Flower, etc.??” It’s like this, friend- I didn’t tell you NOT to buy a membership. I didn’t say, “If my dramas don’t air, then don’t buy a membership.” Those words didn’t come out of my mouth, right? Also, everyone watching my stream right now- you are all your own person. You have personal freedom, and there’s no way I can force you to do anything nor can I influence you to change your way of thinking. I only requested that you sign up for a membership when my dramas are airing. Give me some face. If you care about what other dramas are airing, then go find THOSE actors to hang around and casually chat with you. Negotiate with them! I’m just here sincerely asking my friends to purchase a membership when my dramas are airing (to support me). If you want to watch other dramas and think it’s unfair then you can find those other actors. Don’t take it up with me. Leave a comment on their profile: “I watch(ed) your drama. Should I buy a membership or not?”

C: Ning-ge, calm down. LYN: Oh, I apologize. I’m someone who is trending right now, aren’t I? I have to watch myself. See- I almost fell for someone’s trick. The internet is so evil. Friends, I think that as a new generation of youth, those living in this era, we have to have awareness. Whether it is for music or for video, I think it is only proper that we slowly come to the understanding that we need to pay a price for content. We have to change on our mindset, on this front. Just like when we were young. When I was young I liked to play computer games, but the games that I played were mostly pirated. This is when I was very little- I didn’t know what it was to buy games and at most would buy the discs. In reality most of those discs were bootleg. When I grew up and continued to play games, I would never buy the pirated version. I would spend the money for the official thing. I feel like I should pay for the content, and I hope that everyone can also start adopting this habit. Okay? We should pay for content. For example, if you want to sign up for some platform’s membership, it will cost you 20RMB per month. Or 25-30RMB. You can use this 20RMB to watch the drama you like, but you can also watch other dramas/movies, too. It’s not as if saving this 20RMB per month will make much of a difference in your life and will make it so much better for having not spent it. Instead, it might let you have MORE of a life. It’s not a huge difference but it does make one. I’m not trying to force you into this belief that a membership would better your life. Honestly, it’s all up to each individual. I just want to share my perspective on it.

C: Ning-ge, do you have a quota? LYN: I don’t get it, what do you mean? Are you trying to say that I’m telling you to purchase a membership to watch my drama, and you will all be considered my customers? Is that what you mean? That your membership will be associated with my drama and therefore count towards my “quota”? Actually the platform CAN see this type of data. I won’t try to make an example out of anyone else, let’s just use myself. Let’s say LYN’s drama has aired, and a lot of people came to watch this particular drama. Or it could be that very little people are watching the drama. There’s no way to tell which way it will go. But- they are able to tell how many people, in order to watch the rest of the drama, sign up for a VIP membership. There’s data for this and it’s a normal part of the process. However, I am not amazing enough to be able to influence this KPI at all, so the platforms don’t have any of this type of expectation from me. I can’t influence the KPI, even though of course I wish I did.

C: Ning-ge, sit closer towards the guitar. You’re off-center. LYN: I was off-center. You all are too strict. Even if I sit off-center, it’s uncomfortable to you?

C: Ning-ge, have you gotten thinner? LYN: I have, just a little. These days I don’t really eat at night. Even if I get really hungry, I’ll still not eat. I’m trying to get thinner.

C: Ning-ge, I was catching up on your streams and then you started streaming. LYN: What a coincidence, right?

LYN: Hold on a second, friends... Don’t speak. Hold on for a minute. /”listening”/ !! Friends- I think my neighbors are fighting. Really. I think they’re fighting. How about this- wait for me. Okay? Wait three minutes for me. I’m going to take a look. My neighbors- I hope nothing happens. They’re fighting. Let me go take a look. /setting up the video/ Wait for me. (x2) -- break #1 LYN: I’m back. They weren’t fighting, they were watching... /long pause/ Till the End of the Moon. They were watching the drama- on the first episode. You know- they’re all fighting. I thought the neighbors were fighting but their tv volume was on too high. I told them to keep it down, so it doesn’t effect my streaming.

LYN: Look at this, friends. See how high the price:product ratio is when you have LYN sing an OST for you?? People always ask me, “Ning-ge, why are YOU always singing drama OSTs?” It’s because my main thing is “After-Sales Services”. It’s not that they pay me for a song and I just make a single weibo post about it later and that’s it. I come with after-sales service. If you use LYN you know you can rely on getting the best service. I want to make sure my service:credit ratio is high. LYN: Our main focus is “After-Sales” and “Price:Product Ratio”. Of course, it’s not like I just accept any and all work. I know I’ve sung a lot of OSTs but there are some I’ve turned down. First of all, I have to like the song. I accept the work if I like the song and if I don’t like it then I turn it down. That, you have to know. I don’t just accept anything that comes to me. It’s not a matter of “good” or “bad” but more a matter of if I personally like it or not.

C: Will you sing the OST for ZY? LYN: Of course I’ve got to get myself one. Think about it- in this drama I am playing a role that will perhaps have some... emotional interactions with the FL, and then “ga”. There’s my voice. It’ll be like you can hear the sound of my heart; expressing my feelings. That’s a different type of mood, you know? So for my own dramas, I will always ask if there’s a way I can negotiate to have the honor of being a part of the OST. C: Like when you go in for a mouthful (kiss)? LYN: No! I said “emotional interactions”! That’s- you know? EMOTIONAL INTERACTIONS. Um... don’t say any nonsense! What are you talking about.. “go in for a mouthful”... LYN: But for my own dramas I will always try to participate in the OST, to make it more interactive. I’ll definitely have a song for ZY... and YNGS as well. I should be singing two for YNGS. I also sang one for ALZ. Any drama that I have personally been in, I will sing for. I have to get that for myself.

LYN: /looking at his phone/ C: What are you laughing at? LYN: No, it’s my friend. My friend was asking me when I would be having my concert. I’m guessing they went to watch some concert recently... You know this friend, too. It’s a male. I won’t say the name, though. He just asked me when I was having my concert, and I told him to keep waiting. I was just wondering why he was asking me the exact same question you all were.

C: Will ZY use your original voice? LYN: Probably. I mean, no- ever since CGX the one requirement I had of myself was to do my own voice acting. Even though it’s not the best, because my Standard Mandarin isn’t the greatest yet. But I try to strive to do my own voice acting (if the director/platform allows), so that I can make the role more complete. Secondly, if I have high standards for myself then that means that I can improve all the faster. LYN: ZY will probably use about 80% original audio- that’s whatever sound was recorded at the time of shooting the scene. So the post-production for that and the required voice-acting will be less. We might only need to go supplement if there was noise interference or if the dialogue wasn’t perfect or if there are places we need to change the lines entirely. Other than that, about 80% of the drama should be with original audio. C: Ning-ge, I saw the audio receiver. LYN: I’m not sure what you mean by that. Do you mean you saw the boom mic? Every drama has that. It’s not just this drama, every one of them has it. This drama is mostly shot indoors or inside a tent so recording audio is comparatively easier. Obviously, if we’re shooting outside, there will be a lot more noise interference. You’ll end up recording what someone else or just passing by is saying. You’ll record that someone nearby is selling buns. We’re over here trying to shoot a guzhuang drama and then you hear from nearby, “Phone screen protectors!” That’s weird. We have a lot of indoors scenes so we’ll have a better time recording audio.

C: Ning-ge, why are you wearing a wig? LYN: I went to do a scene today and later went to shoot the drama posters. I have to have the wig on for the posters, so my hair has been stuck under the cap all day and is now plastered to my head. If I want to come home to stream but show my own hair I would have to take a shower and then style it. I have to make it look good before I start the stream. But that takes up a lot of time. If I get home, take a shower, and do my hair it’ll be at least an hour. I was thinking I wouldn’t waste time and just stick another wig on and be done with it.

C: [something about a scene from the original novel??] LYN: No- The drama ZY... the scenes in the original novel that you’re thinking of can’t be put on film. Don’t think wildly. If this drama really stuck to the original novel I’m guessing that the actors and directors would all be put in jail. It’s terrifying. So there’s no need. I don’t see the need to put myself into a work of art like that. It’s not necessary. It’s too scary. C: You’ve read the original novel? LYN: The thing is, now is the age of information. Even if I haven’t read the original novel, there are all sorts of sources that will continuously relay to me information regarding the content of it. This era is like that- information at your fingertips. I will always be reminded of the contents of the novel and of the opinions of the original fans of the novel. I know about the contents you’re referring to, probably. We won’t discuss that in my stream, though. If we say too much then my stream can very easily be closed down. Let’s not discuss it. LYN: As for the actual content of the drama, let’s all wait for the drama to air and purchase a VIP membership and we can find out what happens together. Alright? You can watch it and then you’ll know what all is involved. [t/n: The novel’s title is “Bending at the Waist” which ah.. can be interpreted quite literally for the novel. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Apparently it’s very not safe for tv lol. ]

C: Talk about Weibo Night. LYN: Have I not streamed since then? Did I not stream after Weibo Night?? After I attend and event a lot of friends will come ask me about my thoughts on it. I didn’t stream? So- what do you want me to say about it? There’s nothing to say. I just went to Weibo Night for fun and to see celebrities. C: How do you feel about it? LYN: It was fun. Because I’ve been holed up in various drama crews this was a nice opportunity to attend an event and take a breather. I also met up with a lot of friends I haven’t seen in a long time. The schedule was pretty tight though, so by the end of the night there are many more people that you didn’t even get to greet before it’s already over. It was rushed. We were tight on time. C: Were you able to get any autographs? LYN: I didn’t get a chance. :( When I went the event had basically already started so I was directed straight to my seat. I was just watching the proceedings- they were already giving out the awards. I didn’t event get a chance to say hi to my friends, so how could I have the time to ask anyone for an autograph? If it were a gala, then there would have been more of a chance to get to chat. // I pretty much told you all my thoughts about Weibo Night during my interview with them. I won’t say anything more- just go watch that interview. I said... quite a lot. LYN: Usually when I get interviewed it goes like this- all the people who had interviewed me before didn’t really know me, then. They would all tell me, “LYN-laoshi, I hope that during the interview you could say a few more words. Share with us more. We hope that you can say more.” I just replied with, “Okay. Don’t worry about it.” Then by the end of it nearly all of the interviewers were the ones telling me, “Okay, laoshi. That’s enough.” But I can shoot back with, “There were three more questions, though? I thought you said you had prepared fifteen questions. You’ve only asked me twelve. There are still three more. Don’t worry- I’m not in a rush. I can answer.” They say, “We have enough material. We can stop here.” “There are still other artists waiting for us. It’s- it’s enough.” They probably didn’t know me very well, and were worried I would have too little to say. Let me tell you, once I open my mouth there’s no stopping me. It just so happens that the location was inconvenient, otherwise my shoes would be off and I’d be getting comfortable. LYN: Basically that interview had all my thoughts on the matter. It was nice to see so many familiar faces, even though I didn’t get a chance to greet them. We were short on time.

C: Ning-ge, can you sing 问风 (Ask the Wind)? LYN: I don’t know. /plays the song/ This, right? I don’t think there’s an accompaniment for it... /sings along anyway/ -- 问风 (Ask the Wind) LYN: For entertainment purposes only.

C: What about 笑红尘 (Laughing at the Mundane World)? LYN: I remember that last time I was supposed to get the accompaniment track... I couldn’t find it. I wanted to copy it over but I couldn’t get it. I lost it. But I did find and get other versions.

C: 海 (Ocean). LYN: I really did want to sing that song, but I can’t. I can’t.

LYN: What else is there? C: 冥冥有声. LYN: 冥冥有声... Didn’t I promise to sing that, the last time? - /jumps in too early, but sings the first few lines/ LYN: Let me sing it. It’s been a long time since I sang. Let me look up the lyrics. LYN: /sigh/ Why can’t I find the lyrics? Is this song so unpopular, now?? I can’t even find the lyrics. It can’t be THIS unpopular, right? I remember this song was quite well-received... Oh, there are. Sorry about that. :) Let me find some glasses. Let’s wear this colored pair, to cover up some of my shyness. /showing a different pair/ Forget it. Friends- I think you all wear colored lenses to watch my stream. Let’s go with the colored ones. LYN: It’s been a long time since I last sang. I’m a little... unaccustomed to it. I didn’t put this wig on that great today, either... /making further adjustments/ -- 冥冥有声 (Ming Ming You Sheng) LYN: It’s been a long time since I last sang this song. I almost can’t sing it anymore. But I hope you liked it.

C: 让酒 (Rang Jiu). LYN: Wow, Rang Jiu, really. - /starts but ends up singing the wrong verse/ LYN: !! Friends- seems like the stream lagged a little. Oh? It lagged. How curious. My internet is fine now. Let me do that again. - /missed the timing/ LYN: It lagged again! The internet is so bad right now, it lagged again. Let’s try again, sorry. I have to contact the- oh? Look, now it’s lagging for real this time. You saw that, right?? -- 让酒 (Rang Jiu)

C: Wei Shuyu is here. LYN: Fang Yilun, you mean? Welcome. Don’t call him Wei Shuyu, he- he has a name. It’s Fang Yilun. Wei Shuyu is a character he played in the past. Of course, if you’re on the street and someone calls you by the name of a character you acted as before it does count as a sort of recognition... but welcome, Fang-laoshi. Maybe after YNGS airs, you’ll call him by another name: Yu Shisan. C: Mao Shiba. LYN: No, not Mao Shiba (毛十八). Yu Shishan (于十三). I’ve worked together with him again. We got to work together on YNGS. It was a fun and smooth time. Our scenes together are also very exciting, so I hope you can take a look. LYN: I told you all to watch YNGS, and I saw one of you say, “No. I won’t be watching, I’ll be judging.” ... You think you’re so great? Huh? Are you a judge? Have you created a name for yourself in the jianghu as the “Video Judge”? You have to pass judgement on all dramas? Who has the time to play with you?? Oh, my goodness.

C: Director Guan is here. LYN: Welcome! See, I told you. It’s easy to gather some big names in my stream. Welcome, welcome. C: He left. LYN: It’s okay, he probably clicked into the wrong topic. It doesn’t matter. It’s nice that he came in to take a look, anyway. He’s gone? It’s not important. He just came in to take a look. Maybe he has some projects in the future and wanted to work with me. He came in to see if my image matches with what he has in mind. Maybe he saw me and decided I wasn’t a good fit and just left. XD He came in and thought better of it upon seeing me with my white hair and deciding I didn’t look like a good person. “This kid doesn’t look normal.”

LYN: Friends, you know what. I really am rethinking my hairstyle today. Wait for me a second. I’m going to go grab a hat. LYN: Now with the addition it sort of adds a bit of that gloomy feeling. Do you think so? It IS hot, yes. This hood sure insulates my head well, but that’s not the main focus. Does it make me look like a gloomy man? Is it a little better than the non-mainstream look from earlier? Is it better?

LYN: These days I’ve been seeing some videos online, where the content is to imitate a cheesy/greasy men. I don’t know if you’ve seen those videos? The blogger is imitating greasy moments. Friends, I can also imitate it. Let me show you some. Let’s go. 3, 2, 1. Start! ~LYN: Miss, are you alone? Here, I’ll treat you to a drink.

~ LYN: Here, I’ll scan your WeChat ID. // What? You didn’t bring your phone? Let’s do this. Remember my phone number. When you get home... /snaps his fingers/ ...remember to add me. ~LYN: What was that? What have I been busy with lately? I’ve been working on a $50M business project. I got a contract recently, for $50M or so. It’s not important. I don’t even show up myself for things like this. I’ll have someone take care of it. ~LYN: Huh? What did you say? / It’s not important. To me, this is chump change. I still have a $1B project in negotiations. It’s whatever. Here, pretty girl. I’ll scan for your WeChat ID. LYN: That’s enough, right? ~LYN: You think it’s enough, but I don’t think so.

- /setting up for his second break & pretends to take a call/ LYN: Hey. What’s up? Don’t be nervous, bro. What’s wrong. Just tell me what’s up. - /moves the mic away/ LYN: YOU’RE HAVING A BABY?! - /brings the mic back & continues to set up the scenario/ -- break #2 - /comes back missing a couple layers/ C: Where are your clothes? LYN: I didn’t have 200RMB to give to my friend for his baby so I took off my clothes and gave them to him. C: You could have sent it virtually. LYN: You’re going to go look at a person’s baby and send them 200RMB via money transfer?? LYN: I ran downstairs and it was too hot so I took them off. C: You gave your clothes to the baby. LYN: /laughs/ no.

C: Ge, can you take a look at my kid? [t/n: bc there’s an old saying that a child grows up to look like the first person it sees.] LYN: It’s too late. I can’t see your kid. It’s too late, sorry. Friends, how about this. I know that many of you could have just had a kid. If you want your kid to look like me- please don’t- there are so many handsome boys in this industry, those with god-like visuals. The term that could be used to describe me the most is ‘pu xin nan (普信男)’ (the most trustworthy man in the world / 普天之下最适合信任的男人). I am a ‘ma bao nan (妈宝男)’ (哎哟妈呀! 宝藏男孩.) But even though I am a “treasure boy” if you want your child to grow up good-looking, you’d be better off choosing pictures of more handsome people for them to look at. Take a promotional poster and print it out and have your kid look at it every day. They will grow up looking like the picture. If you show them my face, if they end up in the entertainment industry one day they’re going to get yelled at for being ugly. Find a picture of a male artist who’s never been yelled at for being ugly before and show your child a picture of them. LYN: My previous experience is that I’ve done a lot of jobs that people consider to be of the lowest tier of society. That’s why I have a considerably strong mindset. I’ve seen and experienced all sorts of things. Especially when I was a waiter, a sales clerk, or singing in the bar- all sorts of messy things. I’ve already experienced the cruel side of society that most workers have faced. But if you treat your child ends up looking like me but you’ve treated them well all their life, when they get cursed at by the entertainment industry for being ugly it’s not going to be a very nice outcome. They won’t be able to take it.

LYN: There’s another thing. I know that some fans- you love me a lot and have subscribed to my weibo... but at the same time you like watching other people’s streams. Of course, I don’t have the ability to stop you from watching other people’s streams and I don’t think I need to. You can watch. That’s your freedom and your enjoyment. But you don’t need to go into other people’s streams and then start sharing with them how I do things and my experiences. PLEASE do not go into someone else’s stream and then start commenting about how I used to be a waiter. And how when I was a waiter I was being yelled at every day and then later learned how to be a cook. And how after I graduated from culinary school I was still bullied and wasn’t allowed to go home at night until I had prepared a huge tub of wood ear fungus. Don’t do that. Sometimes I will bring up these stories and tell you in a joking manner, but what I’m doing is just sharing my previous work experience with you. I want to share with you refined tips on how to survive in society, and how you should persist or adjust your mentality. I use a joking manner to share with you times I have experienced that maybe weren’t exactly the happiest moments of my life. I’m sharing with you as an amusing story, and it’s coming from my mouth. But if you go and circulate it, it sounds like I’m trying to play the pity card. I hate people who try to make you feel sorry for them and I don’t want to become that person. Please don’t go around spreading the news of what jobs I’ve worked before. Because the fact of the matter is that it doesn’t matter how worse off I was, because I am doing better now. I’m in a good place now, so what’s the point of telling people about the bad times I had? There’s no need. You want people to PITY me? No need. Just keep looking forward. LYN: If people don’t like you, they’re not going to make an effort to try to understand you. They won’t empathize, and they won’t care about how much shit you went through to get to where you are today. What does it have to do with them?? It doesn’t. So you don’t need to go around schooling people about me. You can recommend my music instead, or my projects. Just don’t go around telling people about my miserable life experiences and what I’ve been doing for the past few years. There’s absolutely no need for that. Got it? Please remember this.

LYN: /laugh/ There are always people trying to send secret signals through my stream. C: Ning-ge, if you see my comment make a “V”! LYN: You’re always trying to trade signals with me. This is making it seem as if you and I are very close. I won’t make a “V”, instead I’ll give you a “Thumbs Up.”

C: Ning-ge, your hairstyle is kind of.. messy. LYN: This is what I’m going for. To make it seem as if I’ve been through a lot. C: Why do you keep wearing wigs? LYN: I already said, because I was filming earlier. In order to put the drama wig on, my hair’s full of wax. They comb it until my hair is close to my head and they gather up the ends in wax and apply the wig. When I get off work they take the wig off and all my hair is stuck to my head. I’m supposed to take a shower to wash it all out but I came to stream. If I were to shower and get ready again it would be too late. It’s a little complicated like that so I figure I could just slap on another wig and be done with it. C: You can wash and stream at the same time. LYN: No need.

LYN: Some of you are watching my stream but the audio and visual do not match up, yeah? Don’t worry, I’ll have this fixed by the next stream. Because I have set the settings to 60fps- I’m not sure how many of you understand? It’s at 60fps so you can have a high quality viewing experience. But after adding up all this software, the connection isn’t strong enough to keep up. That’s why sometimes there’s the inconsistency. Next time I’ll just adjust it a little lower and it should be okay. C: The lyrics don’t show either. LYN: The lyrics... I’ll work on them for next time.

LYN: Hold on a sec. - /goes to put on a white blazer/ LYN: I wanted to change my clothes.

C: Where is Miss “How About a Sausage?”? LYN: She’s there. /gestures offscreen/

C: How about 黑夜一束光 (Praying)? LYN: I can. Let’s do it. / Let me see if I have the track. I do! -- 黑夜一束光 (Praying//A Ray of Light in the Darkness) LYN: This song is hard.

-- 天问 (Ask the Heavens) LYN: I sang this song and someone commented, “宝刀未老” (old but still vigorous)... If you- If you don’t know how to use this expression/idiom then you can say something else. Alright?? If you don’t know how to use idioms/proverbs then don’t! What do you mean “OLD BUT VIGOROUS”??? Is that something you can use to describe a sprightly young man?!? LYN: I know they meant well. They wanted to say, that I sing this song very well. But using “old but vigorous”... what the heck?? I am in the prime of my youth and even qualify to attend the Youth Festival. Stop blindly applying idioms!

C: Then, “new but still vigorous”. LYN: My goodness... - /playing with more idioms/proverbs/ C: 徐娘半老 (Middle-aged woman but still attractive; lady of a certain age) LYN: /sigh/ Get out. This stream doesn’t welcome you. You can leave. If you don’t leave, I’ll kick you out. - /more idioms/proverbs/ LYN: I only have four words for you “Get. The. Legal. Team.” I’m going to sue you. You are in my stream blatantly destroying my good name.

C: 阳光开朗大男孩. (Sunny and Cheerful Big Boy) LYN: /plays the song and starts singing along/ -- 阳光开朗大男孩 (Sunny and Cheerful Big Boy) C: There really is such a song? LYN: Music knows no bounds.

LYN: Friends, you might now know- actually I’m a rapper. /laugh/ I kind of want to be a rapper now. LYN: Anyway, don’t call me “old but still vigorous”, I am a “sunny and cheerful big boy.” C: Now, Qilin (麒麟). LYN: Every time I say I’m a rapper, you all want to hear Qilin. It’s always like this. I only know those few lines. / Let me dress like a rapper. I don’t look like one right now. /puts on a pair of shades/ Do I give off the feel of a rapper now? Do I look like one? No? /grabbing something- a crazy hat/ How about now?

C: What the heck is that? LYN: You don’t know this? This is why I can’t talk fashion with you. You really don’t know what this is?? You don’t? Forget it- I won’t tell you. Because I don’t know, either. So it’s not important. Let me see which hat is most appropriate... this one.

LYN: How’s this? Do I look like a rapper? LYN: Friends- the person you are seeing now is not Liu Yuning. It doesn’t matter who I am. Just- this doesn’t represent my market value. Right now I will be playing a role... the Sunny and Cheerful Big Boy. Let’s go. This is a song that’s popular recently. ~I’ll gift it to you.~ -- 雪Distance LYN: Do you think this type of rap is okay? C: No. // Don’t like it. LYN: But this song is actually really nice. You probably just can’t accept things that are too new.

LYN: But I do think this hat is bringing my visuals to a new low. I’ll take it off. - [t/n: he looks like a mad scientist] LYN: /shaking his head/ It’s over. I can’t save my hairstyle or this look today. I’m just a Funny Boy, now. Alright? It doesn’t matter too much because I’m about ready to stop streaming anyway. C: You sang nice. Next time, don’t. // The hairline is too low. LYN: You’re right, it is too low. I was wondering why it was uncomfortable to look at- no wonder. It turns out that too low of a hairline is ugly. Too high is also ugly. Living is hard. C: Ning-ge, I’m a Funny Girl. We’re a match made. LYN: No, no. Let me tell you, friends. When two people get together, if their personalities are too similar there are going to be problems. You have to be complementary. You’re a Funny Girl and I am a Funny Boy so we are not compatible. I have rejected you. C: Ning-ge, I’m not a Funny Girl but a Nerdy Girl. Are we compatible? LYN: No. The most important thing when two people are getting together is that you need to have common topics of discussion. Two people need to have a sense of humor so that there can be common topics of conversation. You’re a Nerdy Girl, so we’re not compatible. C: Ning-ge, then I am a Funny Nerd Girl. LYN: /laughs/ Let’s stop messing around.

C: Ning-ge, are you controlling the background laugh track yourself? LYN: Of course I’m not controlling it. I have a group of people over here laughing.

C: Change out the glasses, please. LYN: I can’t talk about fashion with you. Those glasses are very fashionable, I’ll have you know.

C: I finally caught up to a live stream. Can I hear 寻一个你 (Searching for You)? LYN: Why not? -- 寻一个你 (Searching for You) LYN: Friends, after I sang this song I suddenly thought of a proverb. One four character proverb. Let’s see if you and I have any chemistry. There is a four word proverb in my head right now, after I’ve sung this song. /sigh/ That’s right- “old but still vigorous.”

C: Ning-ge, can you sing 无华 (No Extravagance)? [Legend of Fei OST] LYN: That’s a duet, though. We need two people for that song, I can’t do it by myself. / If you know how to sing it, let’s do it together, then. I’ll sing the male parts and you sing the female parts. Alright? We’ll have an interaction that crosses space/time.

C: 斷緣訣 (Cutting off Fate). [God of Lost Fantasy OST] LYN: Cutting off Fate?? It’s one of the OSTs that I really like a lot. It’s... one of my hidden gems of my music repertoire. - /starts just humming it/ LYN: /laughs/ Wait- I thought this song had lyrics, but it didn’t. Let me find the lyrics. // Friends- Wait a moment. Let me find the lyrics. LYN: Let’s go. Let’s see if this song is also “old but still vigorous.” -- 斷緣訣 (Cutting off Fate) LYN: /sigh/ I’m getting old. I can’t really sing it anymore. - /continues/ LYN: Nope. I really am old, friends. I can’t sing this anymore, I almost can’t control myself anymore. On top of that, the internet is just slightly lagging. It stuck for a bit there, and the mic had an issue. Of course, it had nothing to do with me singing. It just lagged a little. You all know, right? LYN: Friends, it’s like this- electronics are unreliable. Sometimes there are always going to be some problems. Just now- there was a small problem. XD But it’[s not important. I have a lot of professionalism when it comes to streaming and I was able to recover - by not singing anymore. C: No, Ning-ge. It’s not that your mic broke but our headphones are broken. LYN: In that single moment in time, all of the people watching my stream had issues with their headphones? All of a sudden. There was... noise interference.

C: Ning-ge, how is the soundproofing in that room? LYN: It’s pretty good. I’ve closed all the doors.

C: I have noise cancelling headphones. LYN: ...? This friend has said something a little interesting. They have noise cancelling headphones. Are you trying to say that the sound of my stream is “noise”? Is that what you mean? You didn’t hear my voice crack earlier because you have noise cancelling headphones?

LYN: There’s someone who’s been spamming 讲真的 (Tell the Truth) all night. When I see friends like that I have both love and hate for them. Not as extreme as love and hate, but I just have complicated feelings about it. This friend probably has not tried to get to know me after they saw me the first time in 2018. They must have, by some small chance, come across me in 2018 but since then have not taken the opportunity to subscribe to my weibo. Here they are asking for 讲真的. But I can say they truly recognize me, at least.

LYN: Let me see what else I have. Is there anything I’ve never sung in my stream? I really want to sing it. - [t/n: 凌云寂 (ling yun ji)...] LYN: Let me look around. // Also, for something my vocal cords will allow me to. / Eh? Do I really only have so little tracks? Why do I feel like I should have more? Oh, they’re here. I have it. /starts playing 想像 (Imagine)/ Have you heard this song? It’s been a long time since I last sang it. -- 想像 (Imagine) LYN: Old but still vigorous. Actually all these songs I sang before debut- no, before I did my vocal cord surgery. The key we set them in are very high. When I’m singing them now they take a lot of effort.

-- 一个好年 (A Good Year) LYN: Happy New Year everyone!! LYN: Okay, friends. With this exuberant song, our stream today will come to its end. Here I would like to thank all the friends who accompanied me through this night. If you still haven’t subscribed to my weibo... please do so. I am Modern Brothers Liu Yuning. Okay? Subscribe, please. LYN: I hope that everyone who was here today is happy and I hope that I brought you even the smallest bit of that happiness. If I did, it’s my honor. Of course, I hope you have a relaxing and wonderful night. It was great to have you and I hope you had fun. Thank you for helping me get a trending topic. Goodnight, everyone. Let’s meet in the next stream! Bye bye!

+ Side note: Yu Bin (The Untamed) was caught watching LYN’s stream and he made a post about it on weibo asking if Sina could add an invisibility feature, and that he would even pay for it... X’D

"How much you want again, mama?"

You look up from Suguru's hands to his face as his question registers. Your eyes feel heavy as the indica pulls you into a sweet, tranquil embrace. Your eyes are red, hanging low and Suguru drinks in the sight when he finally meets eyes with you again. He subconsciously licks his lips, your beauty causing his body to increase a few degrees with desire. The burn has him clearing his throat to focus and you give him a lazy grin. You don't realize, but you send him spiraling with your dazzling charm before replying.

"If I remember correctly, you said that if I finish the song you would smoke me out." You remind Suguru of a verbal agreement you two had last smoke session. A chuckle verberates, shoulders shaking as he brings a lighter up to seal the blunt he had been working on. His craftsmanship in his rolls never fell short and tonight was no different. As always, he hands the blunt to you first. He always lets you light it and inhale the first puff of potent gas. Suguru watches your sexy and glossed lips wrap around the blunt at one end and flick the lighter on the opposite. He replies as you light.

"Well, I have yet to hear this said record so where is it, mama?" Suguru taunts as he watches you hollow your cheeks. Your inhale is long and harsh, and a thick cloud of white smoke leaving your mouth confirms it. Suguru smirks, watching you stifle a cough as the cannabis renders you breathless. Your mind is numbing out once again, feeling peace as you lean back into the couch. You pass the blunt to Suguru.

"That gas is immaculate." You comment and he smirks before taking a hit. He's conservative with it, taking smaller but frequent puffs, a major juxtaposition to your bigger yet smaller amounts. He takes another small hit and replies.

"You should know better." He grins, causing a shockwave to go to your belly at his charming smile. You shake it off.

"I never expect less. Anyways, I have the track on my phone. Do you wanna hear it?" You ask as Suguru hands you the blunt back. You scroll through your phone as you take it, locating the track as you take another drastic inhale.

"You should know better than to ask me a fucking question like that." You roll your eyes at his profane language but nevertheless you know his intent. Especially with the way his hips turned into a lazy grin, eyeing at you as if you were the most precious thing in the world. Little did you know you have Suguru wrapped around your finger badly. His personal weed stash was not shared with anyone, let alone a romantic prospect. He knew you were different the moment he saw you rapping on stage and gave him the meanest and stankest attitude when he pushed up on you. It took him several appearances at your shows to finally entertain a conversation and the chemistry was so instant you were mad you took so long to give him your attention.

The drug dealer falling sweet on the rising local princess was not a romantic storyline Suguru thought he would find himself apart of yet here he was.

You play the track and Suguru instantly catches the beat. His head follows along with the bass instinctively, eyes closed as he focuses on your lyrics, flow, and delivery. Whenever clever word play or flow switch ups occurred he let out a verbal affirmation or appraisal that left your ego swelling. You took another hit from the blunt as the song continues, your final verse playing as you finish the track strong. A menace and lyrical genius you are in the booth and Suguru shakes his head. He opens his eyes as he looks over to hold your gaze.

"You so damn talented, y/n. You gotta perform that soon." He declares, reaching for the blunt and you hand it to him. He settles deeper into the couch, spreading his thighs out and the sight of him manspreading caused a butterflies to be released briefly but you quickly pull yourself out ot it. You gather your composure before replying.

"I will and you better be front row." You give him a cute little stank face, mean mugging as Suguru puffs on the blunt. He smirks at you.

"Bratty little thing," the words travel straight to your cunt, "but sure thing, mama. You already know wassup." Suguru gives you one of his charming grins and you feel those butterflies get set loose again. You can't fight it and you smile back. Suguru knows it's a mix of infatuation and cannabis, but he has the sudden desire to kiss you. He looks all over you, seeing that lip gloss still painted on your plush lip, big hoops in your ears, and those sexy bangs you recently got done. You're a goddess and have the intellect to keep Suguru on his toes.

"Good." You utter at his declaration, bringing him from his thoughts and he hums. He refuses to look away, even slowly leaning his weight towards you to bring his face closer to yours. You feel your heart thundering in your chest to the point where it almost hurts. You see the look in Suguru's face and sense he wants to immediately fold you in multiple different ways. Your eyes flicker down, eyeing the gray sweats he greeted you at the door with and see a tent now present. You should have known you would be sweating your straightened hair right back into curls.

"Mind if I kiss you, ma?" That was one thing about Suguru, you wouldn't think this immediately because he's a dealer, but he's so tender and so considerate of your boundaries. You felt yourself swooning at the man next to you, his large stature leaning over you as his lips came closer.

"I been waiting for you to do since I came through the door." You confess and Suguru smiles. A large and warm hand reaches out to caress your cheek. He holds his hands there, guiding your pretty face forward to meet him halfway.

"That long huh? Let me not keep my pretty baby waiting any longer, hmm?" Your lips meet and your world seems to melt. All the stresses evaporate and are replaced with a single thought.

Geto Suguru.

"Missed you so much, baby." Suguru says, tongue kissing you on his bed and you huff against his lips. You chase after his mouth, diving back in for a kiss as your hand snakes down to his sweats. He groans when he feels your hand palm against his length. You feel your clit tingle at his groan against your lips.

"I missed you too, Ru." You manage to get out before kissing him again. You crave his lips on yours and feel satisfied when you taste him again. He lets you kiss him a couple more times, your strawberry gloss on his tongue and you taste it when he shoves his tongue inside. You moan, falling onto your back as he pushes you onto it. You feel him pull away and you start to chase after him until he raises to his hunches. You pout, looking up at the man as he looks down at you.

"Watchu poutin for?" He asks, raising an eyebrow as he takes the black elastic hair tie from his wrist.

"You're not kissing me." You say and he chuckles. You dig your toes into the comforter at how dark his laugh sounded and your lower belly awakens when you notice he's beginning to tie his hair up into a bun.

"Yeah? Cause i'm bouta fucking feast on that lil pussy take them panties off already."

He's going to be the death of you.

"Fuck, I missed eating this pussy."

Sloppy slurping sounds cause your head to spin. You moan uncontrollably as Suguru feasts himself between your legs. His tongue is darting skillfully along your folds, collecting every drop you have to offer. Your toes curl, thighs shaking as Suguru has you on your back, legs pressed to your chest and feet dangling in the air. Your pretty anklet dangles and it happens to be one of his many gifts to you.

"Miss when you spit on it." You whine out before you can stop yourself. Suguru raises an eyebrow from between your legs, stopping his feast to smirk. He doesn't say anything, but before you can retort at his pausing he gathers all the fluids in his mouth and spits violently. The majority of it lands on your clit, the rest trickling down your soaked cunt. Your eyes roll back at the filthy scene and Suguru brings his thick fingers to spread it around your swollen clit.

"Like this huh? Like when I mark this pretty pussy?" His fingers sink into your folds, fucking the spit into your hole and you nod.

"Mhmm, yes Suguru." You whimper and he smirks. He brings his lips back down to leave a messy kiss on your clit. Your head falls back into the pillows as he takes it into his harm mouth. His tongue flickers along the swollen button before sucking harshly. You clench around nothing, desperate for something but you're too fucked out to articulate you want his cock. You feel satisified with the way his tongue marks each inch of your cunt. His oral techniques were gifts that you loved to abuse.

"You taste so good," he moans, taking a break to look at his work. Suguru admires it, seeing your swollen and soaked mound. He places an index finger at your entrance, feeling the arousal collected and greeting him instantly. He swears under his breath at the warmth and tight embrace of your folds. You pant, throwing your legs open wider to wordlessly beg for more.

"Suguru!" You moan, bucking your hips to attempt to fuck his fingers. He grins, seeing a small ring of cream form around his finger.

"Pussy so fucking wet, mama," he removes himself from between your legs and rises to his knees, "need you to wet this dick f'me, baby." You are sliding to be on your knees, matching Suguru's stance and he raises an eyebrow. Your hands come to his face, holding his cheeks before kissing him passionately. Suguru moans and you're slipping your tongue into his mouth causing his dick to twitch. His hands fall down to the curve of your back, taking your ass in his hands and squeezing. You moan but only continue to passionately kiss Suguru. Your hands slowly came from his face, traveling down to his shoulders. You plant your hands firmly on his broad, strong shoulders and press down before Suguru can register.

"What's this?" He asks looking up at you as you straddle his waist. You look down, grinning as you sink yourself into his lap.

"Wanna ride you." You state, grabbing between your legs to stroke his length. Your delicate digits touching his warm cock and earning a hiss from his mouth. You take his lips back with yours. Your tongues dance once again as you lead his tip to your awaiting hole. Your eagerness caused you to sink down, ignoring the sting and relishing in feeling full. You moans in his mouth, and he finds his hands kneading at your ass. You begin bouncing up and down, earning illicit moans from the two of you.

"Fuck, you're so wet." Suguru says against your lips. You moan and continue bouncing in his lap. His cock inching in and out left you breathless and falling closer to euphoria.

"All for you baby." You tell Suguru. He blushes but meets your thrusts when you sink back down. You choke, moaning out a whimper as you lift your hips, sinking them back down to be met with another thrust from Suguru. A lazy smirk forms on his lips and you squeal. His balls slap against your rear as his kneading ceases and a slap occurs. You let out a scream at the sting and pure shock.

"So tight and warm." He grunts, continuing to meet your thrusts and you grin. Your thighs begin to burn but you block out the pain, continuing to ride your lover to his pending orgasm. You feel your roots sweating into their prominent curls and Suguru relishes in the sight. Nothing had him more prideful than seeing his girl come with straightened hair and leave with natural curls. He knew if you didn't leave your curls he didn't do it right.

"Ru!" You pant his nickname, choking as he thrusts deeper and hitting your spot. The stroke earns a gush of liquid to wet your thighs and his pelvis. He bites his lip as your nails begin to dig into his skin, smarking his shoulders with crimson lines. He doesn't mind and only continues to meet your bounces with quicker thrusts.

"This pussy was made for me." Suguru comments, savoring the way your cunt continues to grip and milk him ecstacy. You whimper, giggling softly before you speak back.

"This dick was made for me." Your retort is followed with you clenching your walls. Suguru moans out a soft laugh before his hand strikes down on your ass. You cry and he hits the opposite cheek. Handprints form on both cheeks and he massages the sting away.

“Gonna come in this pretty cunt.” Suguru warns, feeling his cock swelling and ready to explode at any moment. Your pussy continues to squeeze Suguru's cock while making it absolutely soaked. His dick is beyond wet, its drenched.

"Give it to me." You sultrily encourage, "missed your cum baby." His tip kisses that sensitive spot and you start whining. Your pussy squelching with each bounce in his lap and continuing to decorate his thick thighs. Suguru is moaning at this point, hissing at how you continue to grip him despite being so fucking wet.

"Fuck, ma you're squirtin' all over me." Suguru moans, biting his lip as he continues to meet your rhythm, You only moan, ceasing your bouncing to roll your hips fluidly, his cock sliding in and out with lewd squelching. You place your forehead against his as you moan at the feeling of him twitching inside you.

"Feel so full baby." You say against his lips and he grins, hand slapping your ass and causing you to toss your head back, yelling out a profanity.

"So fucking tight," Suguru grunts through clenched teeth, "imma cum soon." Suguru warns, moaning again as you continue roll your hips gracefully. You sigh at his words, still swirling your hips as you lean back. Suguru looks down and sees your soaked cunt leave a creamy ring around his cock. He swears at the sight as he fights to cum because god the view is fucking filthy. Your swollen clit stood at full attention as it begged to be touched.

"Fuck, Suguru!" You place a steady hand on the back of his neck to brace yourself as you continue to lean back. He bites his lip, seeing the way your tits bounce and your beautiful body rolling obscenely. Something primal shifts in him and he's placing strong hands on your waist. You yelp, feeling your body fall back till you land in the plush sheets. Suguru still holds your hips, having them in the air as he pistons his cock deep into you. You choke, screaming before you place a hand on his wrist as you choke on several moans. Suguru is grunting, eyes closing as he is near his end.

"Fuck! I'm gonna cum in this pussy." Suguru warns you as he feels his cock throbbing with each trust. The warmth and lewd noises coming from your cunt didn't help with the constant squeezing and soft pleas coming from your pretty mouth. Your mouth is hanging open as he continues to fuck you stupid, screams occurring as you struggle to grasp reality. Suguru's strokes render your mind completely blank.

"Ru-gonna-Cum!" You're choking, struggling to warn him and Suguru chuckles softly. He quickly moans though, as you squirt all over him yet again. He's cursing, hips snapping desperately as he felt his orgasm about to wash over him.

"Ah ah, baby fuck. I'm cumming!" He hisses out, sighing as he ruts sloppily, thick cum spilling inside you as you reach your undoing. You sob, thighs shaking as you back arches, tumbling into a thick abyss of pleasure. Suguru slowly lets out his thrusts, leaving you whimpering shivering as he slips out of your cunt. You shudder out a breath as you slowly open your eyes. His cock goes limp, but still wet with your arousal as you sit up. You're in a daze, but nevertheless you reach forward wrapping your lips around his limp cock to taste you and him. He hisses at the feeling but allows you to suck. You pull away, only to get pushed down yet again.

Suguru spreads your legs, eyeing at your abused cunt but he waits. Surely, his cum trickles from between your folds and he licks his lips. He leans down to lick a quick stripe up your cunt, fat tongue lapping the taste of you two before crawling up your body. He meets you with a kiss, swapping more than just salvia and you suck on his tongue. He pulls away, licking his lips before speaking.

"So fucking nasty." You giggle at him and he chuckles along with you.

"It's why you keep fucking with me." You tease, smiling lazily in the post sex haze. Suguru only smiles before kissing you once again.

"One of a few. C'mon. Let's shower and smoke another blunt huh?"

He always knows just the right things to say to you.

A shower and clean up routine later you're settling into his bed passing a blunt back and forth.

"When's your next show, mama?" Suguru passes you the blunt as he exhales. You take it, looking up from his chest before replying.

"Next Friday." You take a hit and watch him nod. He makes a mental note to clear his schedule on that day. Ever since fucking with you he always made sure he was present at your shows.

"I'm there." He said. You smile, nodding because you knew he meant that. This man before you taking the time to make sure he was always there to be your number one supporter. You didn't know if you and Suguru would ever be committed together, but you didn't bother to stress yourself with uncertainties. As long as you had the man before you in your corner. The world could burn away.

But as long as you weren't separated from Geto Suguru, you'd be fine.
