Quick Transmigration: Yandere Male Leads? Hand 'Em Over! - Chapter 267

Su Ci hadn’t streamed for three days.

Mainly because she was waiting for Xie Buyu to buy her new streaming equipment. She couldn’t hold on to money; the rewards she received the night of the gala were all spent on gear after the platform took its cut.

Following the included instructions to calibrate everything, the moment she saw the effect on screen, even Su Ci couldn’t help but be amazed.

Money really did make a difference.

“Good evening, everyone! Welcome to Su Su’s stream. Don’t forget to follow so you don’t get lost. If you like the streamer, join the fan club and grab a badge~”

【Young Master has entered the stream】
【Model Student: Finally! She’s back!】
【Cat-Loving Upperclassman: Su Su looks gorgeous tonight. Even her spoiled ragdoll cat looks flirty.】
【This is the girl who shut down President Qu?】
【So Sad So Mad: Where have you been? Three days on, two days off. No wonder you’re not a top-tier streamer. Slams desk】
【User17493258: Don’t rush her. School and health come first.】
【911: Pfft, who studies during summer break?】
【So many people! Su Su, you’re drop-dead gorgeous.】
【777: Hey, babe. Good evening.】
【Ran: Vein popping Shut it. She’s MY babe.】
【Yikes, Su Su, run! The Saintess is coming for you. Don’t ask how I know—I’m a defector from her fan club. Her LGF has saved up millions just to crush you.】
【Snowfall Together: Hi, Su Su. I’m a new fan. Hope you remember me~ Also, how long before I’m considered an old fan?】
【Free-Spirited CraneS: Good evening, big sis. I’m a broke college student. Can I still request a song?】

In under a minute, her stream was swarmed with viewers. Many familiar usernames and avatars popped up—faces Su Ci remembered from her last stream.

【Washed-Up Actor has entered the stream】
【Ultraman: Passive-aggressive Oh hey, it’s the former No. 2 on the leaderboard. Took you long enough! Slides into frame on knees Kicks away Bye now~】
【Cat-Loving Upperclassman: You dared come back after ghosting her? Smiles silently】

【Young Master sent Su Su 9999 Fan Badges】 (59,994 Diamonds)
【Young Master: Walk the streamer. Let him go.】

Xiang Zhi’ang ignored the snarky barrage of comments. His lips were pressed into a thin line as he clumsily typed on his screen with the hand that hadn’t been injured.

【Washed-Up Actor: Sorry, something unexpected happened that day. I didn’t mean to ghost Su Su. It was my fault. I’m here to make it right.】

【Washed-Up Actor sent Su Su 1 Heart】 (Free)

The moment the free gift popped up, the entire chat went silent. It seemed they had no words for the former No. 2.

In the hospital room, Xiang Zhi’ang glared mournfully at Shi Yan.

He had intended to send the 9999 fan badges. But thanks to Shi Yan snatching his tablet, he ended up giving the wrong gift.

He held up his bandaged hand.
“Tablet. Give it back.”

Old Man Xiang slammed his cane against the floor with a loud cough, voice firm and scolding.

“Nonsense! You’re getting more and more reckless. How many times have I told you—be careful when filming out there!”

Shi Yan walked out of the room with the tablet, considerately shutting the door behind him to give the grandfather and grandson some space.

Technically, he wasn’t supposed to be using electronics on the job. But shortly after leaving the room, he received a WeChat message from Xiang Zhi’ang:

“Just like last time, Assistant Shi, you know what to do. I trust you.”

Last time?

Giving Su Ci gifts?

Shi Yan stood at the end of the corridor, tall and poised, tablet in hand, as he started watching the livestream in earnest.

Probably because of the upgraded equipment, the girl’s beauty was more vividly captured on camera than ever before.

If last time had a dreamy filter to it, this time it felt real and vibrant—like she was standing right in front of him.

Xiang Zhi’ang’s account had preloaded three million diamonds.

All Shi Yan had to do was max out the gift combos and send them off. Compared to drafting project proposals or negotiating business contracts, this task was laughably simple.

Yet as he scrolled past screen after screen of flashy effects, a strange restlessness bubbled inside him.

He logged into his own Yinfu account and entered her stream through his only followed channel, just in time to see the girl smiling and chatting with viewers.

“Speak of the devil—Brother Shengyan’s here! Take a look—do I look any different from last time?” Su Ci leaned in close to the camera, cheek resting on her palm.

With the upgraded quality, even the fine fuzz on her face and each strand of hair were crystal clear.

Viewers practically clutched their chests at her beauty, rolling on the floor, overwhelmed.

To others, her face might be a rare online treasure. But to Shi Yan, it was incredibly familiar.

After all, they were neighbors. Grocery shopping, walking, taking out the trash, grabbing deliveries—running into each other was easy, even… legitimate.

He’d even rented the unit downstairs and installed a hallway camera to capture the entire corridor—purely coincidental, of course, but perfect for syncing their daily routines.

If you asked what was different from last time…

Shi Yan furrowed his brow and thought hard before settling on an exact answer:

【Hairstyle, outfit, utensils, and food—everything’s different.】

Last time, she wore a high ponytail. This time, it was a bun.

Last time, it was a T-shirt and shorts. This time, a cami and a skirt.

Her utensils had gone from minimalist to cutesy, and her fruit and desserts were replaced by oden and lemon tea.

Shi Yan saw no issue with how well he remembered it all. As he recalled the details, he pulled out his tiny pocket notebook and carefully noted everything down.

Su Ci laughed softly, a bit exasperated.

“That’s not the point! The point is—I got prettier. Doesn’t it hit you like a brand-new vibe?”

【Ultraman: I’ll vouch! Absolutely!】
【Shengyan: Hmm. Let me look again.】
【Cat-Loving Upperclassman: My cat does backflips whenever it sees a pretty girl.】
【Shengyan: Doesn’t seem different.】
【911: Huh? Are you pretending harder than me?】
【Shengyan: You’re always pretty. No change there.】

Su Ci backed away from the camera and shamelessly accepted the praise.

“Gotta thank Brother Shengyan for helping me upgrade my beauty. I couldn’t have gotten the new setup without that Carnival gift he sent.”

【777: Twenty grand for equipment? Even my home security system isn’t that cheap. Rookie streamer, don’t get blinded by small money.】

【777 sent Su Su 10 Dream Castles】 (28,880 Diamonds)

Off-screen, Shi Yan frowned.

By his usual standards, he would never waste money tipping streamers—no matter how fond he was of one. He’d prefer to transfer funds directly, avoiding the platform’s markup.

But… since he’d already broken the rule once…

His fingers hesitated, but his hands were brutally honest. He opened the recharge page, entered his password, completed the transaction, and sent the gifts—all in one smooth motion.

【Shengyan sent Su Su 10 Carnivals】 (30,000 Diamonds)

It was like flipping a bizarre switch.

【Model Student sent Su Su 22 Imperial Feasts】 (44,000 Diamonds)
【Ran sent Su Su 66 Cool Sports Cars】 (58,608 Diamonds)
【User17493258 sent Su Su 77 Ride the Wind gifts】 (61,600 Diamonds)

【Ultraman: Let’s go, bosses! You’re all so powerful! rolling and crawling in awe】

The never-ending flood of gift animations made Su Ci’s thanks sound rushed. Her lips were moving so fast they might catch fire. And yet, a strange sense of unease crept in.

Could a simple equipment upgrade really make complete strangers—some of whom she’d only met once or twice—start throwing out cash like broken ATMs?

It was too bizarre.

Several of these accounts had wealth levels at zero before the gifting spree. No prior top-ups, no donation history.

Su Ci began imagining some unpleasant possibilities.

【Young Master: Not feeling well? You suddenly look really pale—what’s wrong?】
【User17493258: You’re spooked by this little show? It’s just standard consumer behavior. Don’t overthink it.】

【Streamer Saintess has requested to join your stream.】

Su Ci’s complexion, already pale, turned even colder.

But to outsiders, that coldness read like moonlight—chilling, yet luminous. Not offensive. If anything, it stirred a strange yearning—

To be scorned by her even more deeply.

Something wasn’t right.

A max-level streamer wouldn’t request to connect without a reason.

Still haunted by her last encounter with President Qu, Su Ci instinctively went to click the × to reject—but her fingertip, wet from condensation on her lemon tea, slipped and hit “Accept.”

The screen split in two. A devilishly glamorous woman appeared on the right, red lips curled into a flirtatious smile.

“Good evening, Su Su. I heard Young Master and Cat Emperor are both in your stream. Thought I’d try my luck.”

Su Ci: “……”

So this was what a top streamer’s instincts looked like?

【Su Su: @Young Master @Cat-Loving Upperclassman — Someone’s here for you. Take your time on the way out.】

【Young Master: Just because she asks, you’ll give us away?】
【Cat-Loving Upperclassman: How cruel. Truly heartless.】
