Chapter 95: There Is Someone in Her Heart (Third Release!)

With what had just happened, everyone who finally realized what was going on was utterly stunned.

It was her.

The one who had appeared in this livestream room, and even sent ten rockets, was Lin Zijin.

Countless people were left staring blankly.

Even those who had originally come over from Lin Zijin’s side were momentarily dazed.

Lin Zijin had actually come here to check out another room.

Since she had started streaming, it seemed she had never visited any other room before, had she?

This was her first time.

A moment later, once everyone had fully reacted, the chat exploded.

“Holy crap, Lin Zijin!”

“My goddess, the goddess is here!”

“Quick, pinch me. Am I dreaming?”

“What on earth is happening today? It’s so weird. Is the world ending?”

“Welcome, Goddess!”

“Hehe, did the goddess come too to cheer for the Smooth Talker Brother?”

Seeing those messages, a faint light flashed in Lin Zijin’s eyes. She then turned off the chat and searched the livestream for a while, only to feel a little disappointed.

In the broadcast, she did not see what she had wanted to see.

By then, the clash at the school had long since died down, and the stream had switched to the area around G Port.

Suddenly.

Two system prompts refreshed on the screen. Catching sight of them, Lin Zijin’s eyes brightened slightly.

“Yoyo My Heart used a grenade to blow up Lord Li Kui!”

“Yoyo My Heart used a grenade to blow up I Am Truly Li Gui!”

What had appeared on the screen were the notifications of Yang Hao killing two people with a grenade.

Many viewers noticed it too, and the room erupted in another wave of delighted cries.

Because of Lin Zijin’s appearance, the fans, who had originally been numerous and fiery, had already put away their anger and settled down to watch the match.

It had to be said that under Yang Hao’s half-free-range management style, this group really did have a sense of discipline.

Lin Zijin merely gave them a reminder, and they immediately fell quiet.

Because of her arrival, Tianhai University’s PUBG tournament livestream had become even more harmonious.

At the same time, it had also become much livelier.

With enough people present, the room would never feel empty, no matter how few spoke.

What was more, after Lin Zijin stayed, the crowd there had long since grown into a dense mass.

The room’s popularity surged in an instant.

The number of viewers kept climbing, the popularity rose several times over, and Tianhai University’s final PUBG room was directly pushed onto the front page.

No one had expected this.

The most shocked and delighted people, of course, were the university officials and the members of the esports club.

After all, they had spent so much energy, time, and money simply to make this competition a little more grand.

Before this unexpected turn of events, the effect they had achieved was already enough to satisfy them.

They never imagined that such an unexpected windfall would suddenly land in their lap.

Who was Lin Zijin?

There was hardly anyone who did not know.

Her surprise appearance had completely ignited the match.

Originally, the school-level PUBG tournament had drawn at most a few thousand viewers, not even ten thousand.

Now, forget ten thousand, there were already well over one hundred thousand.

Quite a few people looked at the livestream’s viewer count, and their eyelids twitched.

It was about to break one million.

Was Lin Zijin’s popularity really this terrifying?

Of course, the reason this livestream’s viewer count had risen so quickly was not only because of Lin Zijin, but also because of Tomato TV’s push from behind the scenes.

A broadcast of this scale for Tianhai University’s PUBG competition would normally not have attracted Tomato TV’s attention at all. It was only when Lin Zijin appeared, and the room’s popularity surged until it was pushed onto the front page, that it truly caught the official eye.

So they took the opportunity to give it a prominent recommendation on the front page.

As a result, many people who opened Tomato TV naturally saw the room at a glance, and quite a few clicked in.

“Huh, what’s this?”

“Tianhai University PUBG tournament, what the hell?”

“This got onto the front page? How much did they spend?”

“Popularity this high? Fake, right?”

“An official recommendation? Kinda scary. Let’s go take a look!”

Another wave of people opened Tomato TV’s website, and when they saw the room pinned as the top recommendation on the front page, they could not help feeling puzzled.

Some, out of curiosity, clicked in, and were soon stunned.

“Damn, the concurrent viewer count has already exceeded one million.”

“Is it really this terrifying?”

“Look, who is that?”

“Huh? Goddess Zijin came to check the room!”

“It’s true. I just went and checked!”

“Look, let’s see how exciting it is!”

Most of those who clicked in stayed, and many of them did so because of Lin Zijin.

Under these circumstances, the room’s live viewer count continued on an upward trend without ever falling.

This change quickly attracted the surprise of other streamers on the same platform.

“Lin Zijin checking rooms?”

“Really?”

“So scary. The effect of her popularity…”

“It’s blown up. So jealous!”

“I really hope Lin Zijin can come wander into my livestream too, then I could bask in the glow as well.”

“You’re dreaming.”

That was the private chatter among the streamers.

However, Lin Zijin did not pay any attention to what was happening outside.

At that moment, she was sitting quietly in front of her computer, watching the livestream in silence.

Before long, the broadcast shifted again, cutting to another place.

At that moment, Yang Hao and the others appeared directly in Lin Zijin’s line of sight.

They were in the middle of a fight with another squad.

The camera centered on Yang Hao, and as she watched every move he made in the match, a subtle, strange feeling quietly rose in Lin Zijin’s heart.

Watching the battle unfold, Lin Zijin completely treated herself as an ordinary viewer.

A little later, as Yang Hao and the others cleanly and decisively wiped out the opposing team, a trace of excitement and pride suddenly filled Lin Zijin’s heart.

So this was what it felt like to be in the audience?

In the past, she had always been the one on that stage, shining brilliantly on the field of competition.

And he had always sat silently below, silently watching every move she made.

But now, their roles had been reversed.

She had gone from being a competitor on the stage to an ordinary spectator.

And he was the one sitting before the computer, fighting.

It seemed she had come to understand the feeling he had carried all along.

So this was how wonderful it felt, silently cheering for someone else.

It was almost as if she were fighting beside him.

And yet, whenever Lin Zijin thought of how Yang Hao had persisted in silence for five years, and how after every match she would leave amid endless cheers, while he remained in the crowd, smiling at her.

Lin Zijin could see the satisfaction in his smile.

But thinking back now, she suddenly felt that she owed him far too much.

Long ago, she had already realized that someone had quietly taken up residence in her heart.

That person was him.

She did not know when it had begun, but whenever she saw him, her heart would start to tremble.

She did not know when it had begun, but whenever she could not see him, his figure would quietly appear in her mind.

Her gaze shifted, and looking at the person on the screen, Lin Zijin smiled softly.

A smile so beautiful it could topple cities and nations.

Yes, someone had quietly taken up residence in her heart.

Like a shadow that never left her side.
