[Is that some top-shelf stuff in there?]
[Cheers!]
"I’ll show you guys," Renee said, adjusting her camera to point at the liquid in her mug.
[Jujube and goji berry tea? Such a health guru!]
[Taking notes: To understand animals, one must drink jujube and goji berry tea.]
[The one taking notes must get straight F’s.]
The comments made Renee laugh. "You guys are hilarious."
Sean couldn’t help but laugh out loud too.
The audience’s sharp ears immediately picked up on the sound.
[Huh, did I just hear a guy laugh?]
[I heard it too! Does Ms. Jennings have a boyfriend?]
[I’m so curious what kind of guy he is. Can we see him?~]
Renee read the comments aloud and raised an eyebrow. "You’ve all got it wrong. He’s not my boyfriend, he’s my brother."
Hearing Renee introduce him as her brother, Sean felt a sense of affirmation and couldn’t hold back his smile.
[Whoa, Ms. Jennings has a brother?]
[Now I’m even more curious!]
[Is he single? I’d love to be your sister-in-law~~]
Renee laughed. "He is single. Let me ask him if he’s willing to be on camera."
She turned her head toward Sean. "Everyone wants to meet you. Are you up for it?"
Sean, who was also watching the comments on his phone, blushed with nervousness. "But I’m in my pajamas, and my hair is a mess..."
’I’m a total mess. I don’t want to embarrass Renee.’
"That’s all right," Renee said to her audience. "How about another day? I’ll have my brother get all cleaned up so he can meet you all at his best."
[Aww, he’s shy, hahaha!]
[His voice sounds really nice, so deep.]
[I bet her brother is super handsome!]
Sean watched the comments, feeling both happy and shy.
Renee glanced at the viewer count: over forty thousand.
She said softly, "Get ready, everyone. I’m going to start connecting with callers now."
Renee took another sip of water from her cup, then tapped the screen to start a random call.
Connected with "KelseyLee."
A girl with long, eye-catching pink hair appeared on the split screen. She looked very chic.
"Good evening, Renee!" KelseyLee said with a smile. "And good evening to all the beautiful ladies and handsome guys in the stream!"
Renee chuckled. "Good evening, KelseyLee. Your hair color is gorgeous."
"Thank you!" The smile on KelseyLee’s face grew even brighter. "It took me a long time to work up the courage to dye it this color."
"Why’d you have to think about it for so long?"
"Because I’m married, and I was afraid my in-laws would think I wasn’t respectable."
"It’s your hair, on your head. You should be free to dye it any color you want."
[A million times THIS!!!]
[Tell your in-laws to mind their own business.]
[Some in-laws are really a piece of work.]
[My mother-in-law even complains if my underwear is too tight...]
[My mother-in-law is definitely weirder. She won’t let my husband and me lock our bedroom door at night.]
Renee read the comments, feeling like she was getting a real education.
’These people have absolutely no sense of boundaries.’
KelseyLee sighed. "Mothers-in-law are such curious creatures. A good one is harder to find than a good man."
[Do you even need a man in the first place?]
That comment voiced Renee’s thoughts exactly.
Then she took a closer look and realized it was from Michelle.
’Is this girl watching the stream while she’s in the shower?’
’Watching is one thing, but she’s even sending comments!’
