Chapter 189 Of Course It Was Intentional
However, he didn\'t say anything else until they set up the stall.
The old lady was pretty happy today since both her "big grandsons" were with her at the stall.
When they arrived at the snack street, many familiar stall owners greeted them, "Oh, the old lady\'s grandsons are back?"
"Isn\'t this one supposed to be studying far away? Back for the winter break, huh?"
"Wow, the young man has become quite handsome. Both brothers are getting handsomer by the day…"
Xie Xiao responded with a smile to each one, "Yes, uncle and auntie, we\'re back. Please take good care of our grandmother."
"Yeah, my school is quite far, probably can only come back during the summer and winter breaks..."
"Hahaha, I must be a bit handsomer than Lin Yu, right?"
...
While setting up the stall, Lin Yu said with a smile, "Xie Xiao, you\'re pretty well acquainted with the entire street, aren\'t you?"
"How could I not be?" replied the old lady, chuckling, "Who wouldn\'t like Xie Xiao? Unlike you, who talks like setting off fireworks."
The old lady gave him a stern look, then complained to Xie Xiao, "The other day, there was a young girl who came here daily, and when she asked him for his contact details, what did he do? That girl was quite polite, and I thought it\'s normal for you guys to date at this age, right? But this guy here responded with \'I don\'t add strangers\'. Oh, I don\'t know how he will ever find a wife."
Xie Xiao glanced at Lin Yu, who was still helplessly arguing, "But isn\'t that a polite enough way to explain that I don\'t add strangers?"
The old lady couldn\'t be bothered to look at him, "Look at Xie Xiao, he gets along well with Luoluo. But you, just with that attitude, I think you shouldn\'t bother getting married and just spend your days with this old lady, huh?"
"I would love to spend my days with you, old lady, are you fed up with me?" Lin Yu said, wrapping his arms around her shoulders and chuckling.
Xie Xiao glanced at the grandmother and grandson.
The old lady was so clever, if she could see through his and Ranran\'s relationship, how could she not discern Lin Yu\'s little schemes?
Her words were both a probe and a warning.
Perhaps in her heart, the old lady also knew the huge gap between Lin Yu and Liu Ou, basically an impossible gap, but how could she bear to let her grandson get hung up on a single crush at such a young age?
So, she did it intentionally.
Lin Yu probably knew it, and so did Xie Xiao.
So, he too said with a smile, "Grandma, don\'t worry too much. In the future, our Dr. Lin will have no trouble finding a wife, right?"
Lin Yu said with a smile, "That\'s right."
The old lady seemed to want to say more but eventually just shook her head and didn\'t say much else.
At around seven in the evening, Xie Xiao took Lin Yu\'s phone, logged into the account, and started a live stream, first facing the camera towards himself, "Hello everyone. Long time no see."
[Brother Xiao!]
[Oh my! Have you finally teamed up after so long? I even went out to check the live room, it\'s Brother Lin\'s stream!]
As Xie Xiao watched the scrolling screen and the gift effects, he laughed and said, "Thanks for the gifts, everyone. I\'ve been really busy with the end of the semester recently, just got back a couple of days ago."
"That\'s right, tonight I\'m streaming with Lin Yu, and I\'ll take you all for a walk around the night market later."
As he spoke, the camera swung towards Lin Yu and their grandmother, "First, let\'s see Brother Lin and Grandma."
Lin Yu glanced at the camera and greeted quite skillfully, "Good evening, everyone."
The grandma, wearing a mask, also looked up at the camera, clearly hiding a smile.
When these kids first started fiddling with this stuff, she didn\'t understand it and worried it might distract them from their studies.

Later, she found out that Lin Yu was doing quite well, not only keeping up with his studies but also earning a good amount of money.
She gradually understood and got involved with these live streams, initially not appearing on camera, but now she had gotten used to showing up, masked.
The snack street wasn\'t very crowded yet, still early.
Xie Xiao filmed Lin Yu as they prepared and chatted with the viewers via the chatbox.
"Sister-in-law? She went out to eat with friends, might come by later, not sure if she\'ll appear on camera."
"Don\'t try to steal my thunder every day, is that appropriate?"
"How are we not a good match? We\'re a perfect match!"
"Lin Yu and me? A perfect match—like brothers born to different parents!"
Lin Yu couldn\'t help but glance at him, and said seriously, "You\'ve talked more in this moment than I\'ve talked all night."
Was that a complaint about him being noisy?
Xie Xiao saw the chat filled with laughter and was speechless.
"You\'re all laughing? I\'m not talking anymore."
Then the chat started flooding with gifts as apologies, asking him to talk more.
Xie Xiao smiled, "Alright, no need for more gifts. Come on, I\'ll take you guys around the food street."
He then made a gesture to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu nodded.
Xie Xiao started wandering around the food street.
Actually, he hadn\'t strolled around like this for a long time.
Though there\'s sure to be one near every school.
But in City B, he and Luo Yanran seldom visited such places; they were just too busy with their coursework.
Even though it was only their first year, the pressure from their classmates was immense.
So now, as he walked and browsed, Xie Xiao truly became tempted.
He ended up buying quite a few snacks along the way.
The chat demanded he start a food live stream.
So Xie Xiao turned the camera around, eating casually as he watched.
The chat continued to flood with gifts, telling him to sit down and eat.
Xie Xiao sighed, "Nope, I can only have a few bites, I\'ve already had dinner."
As he spoke, his gaze shifted towards a girl walking hand in hand not far away, "Guys, your sister-in-law has arrived."
Luo Yanran and Liu Ou got closer and saw him holding up his phone, realizing he must be live streaming.
Luckily, the camera was facing him at that moment.
Xie Xiao ignored the teasing in the chat about how soft he got at the sight of his sister-in-law.
Isn\'t it normal to be tender when you see your woman?
"I\'m live streaming, do you want to appear?" Xie Xiao asked.
Hearing \'you\', the chat started asking who else was there besides the sister-in-law?
Liu Ou smiled and waved off the idea, "I\'ll pass."
This voice was recognized by quite a few old fans,
[The sister from before!]
[Oh my, their friendship is enviable!]
[Does anyone else remember? Xie Xiao once mentioned Lin Yu\'s sister...]
Xie Xiao watched the chat slowly catch up to the truth and quickly coughed twice, "Don\'t make things up, guys."
Luo Yanran hesitated for a few seconds, then walked over to Xie Xiao, waving to the audience in the live stream room, "Hello everyone~"
As expected, the chat started flooding with \'national beauty\'.
Xie Xiao was relieved to see the comments about Lin Yu and Liu Ou being suppressed.
After Luo Yanran answered a few questions from the chat, she walked off with Liu Ou.
Before leaving, she secretly pinched Xie Xiao\'s hand, tugging and shaking it a little.
Like she was being playful.
As Xie Xiao watched them head towards Lin Yu\'s stall, he showed the audience their retreating figures, "The one on the left is your sister-in-law. Pretty, isn\'t she?"
The chat buzzed with claims that he was doing it on purpose.Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
Xie Xiao just smiled. Of course, it was on purpose.
