Quick Transmigration: Yandere Male Leads? Hand 'Em Over! - Chapter 274

Su Ci removed Su Su’s Cat from her blocklist.

She had just finished two explosive PK battles, and it was unclear whether the fans or the trolls had the upper hand in the livestream chat. Even several fellow streamers were scrambling to connect and get in on the gossip.

The once undisputed beauty queen, Loli, had openly tried to steal a big-name patron!

Cat Emperor had been kicked out of Su Su’s room by a rookie streamer, forced to slide in on his knees, apologize, and even show his face on camera to plead his case!

And how long had Su Su been streaming?

Her room now had more mega-donors than all the other food streamers combined. The drama was juicier than anything the platform had ever seen—even crazier than the musical livestreaming scene.

Everyone knew Su Su had some seriously loaded backers. Now they were all desperate to connect with her, hoping to score sympathy money for “medical bills.” But Su Ci had no patience for playing PK games and flatly rejected every connection request.

Technically speaking, based on her start date, she was still a rookie.

A rookie with a max-level account.

Su Ci wasn’t the least bit afraid of offending people. At this point, it was others who were begging to link up with her.

“Let’s just spend the rest of the time chatting and singing, alright? Brother Shengyan, is there anything you’d like to hear? If I don’t know it, I’ll learn it after I end the stream.”

She had gone live on a whim tonight and didn’t have time to prep any food, so this would have to do for now.

【Shengyan: Just sing what you’re best at.】

【Su Su’s Cat: What about me?】

【Young Master: Rank One perks, show some gratitude. If it weren’t for Brother Shengyan being generous, you’d still be locked in the timeout room.】

【Su Su’s Cat: That’s not fair! What does it have to do with him, @Young Master!】

【Raincat Whitehead: Easy fix. The room’s getting overcrowded anyway. I say we do a thorough sweep and lock up any big-name donors with a history of infractions.】

【Shengyan: Enough chatter. The streamer’s about to sing.】

【Shengyan gifted Su Su “Mic Boss” ×66 (1320 Diamonds)】

Su Ci scrolled through the song list. She suddenly recalled that punishment song she had to sing during a previous joint stream with Saint Girl—clearly intended to embarrass her.

English songs were no problem. She could hum one casually.

“Here’s a little Moonlight Shadow for everyone. If you enjoy it, drop a like for the streamer. If you can, level up that badge~”

The somber piano intro flowed gently into the room.

“The last that ever she saw him
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
He passed on worried and warning…”

Her voice was ethereal and clear, more luminous than the moonlight or starlight that bathed her face. Shengyan found himself enchanted, fingers moving on their own to top up his account and send gifts.

【Shengyan gifted Su Su “Luxury Carriage” ×6】

【OutToMan: Woooow! That was incredible!】

【77Meow: Wifey can SING. Forget just food streaming—she should be crowned both beauty queen and talent queen ✪ω✪】

【Shengyan: Mind your words.】

【Snow Peas: Recording now. Gonna slap that Saint Girl with receipts.】

【Three-Good Cat Student: Streamer, can you teach me to sing? I’m a good student. I’ll pay upfront. (pulls up a tiny chair)】

【Three-Good Cat Student gifted Su Su “Heart of Protection” ×10】

【IdleCraneS: @Three-Good Cat Student Sis doesn’t have time. I’ll teach you—free of charge, guaranteed results.】

Su Ci had just finished the first verse and leaned over to check the chat when the screen suddenly went black. The only light now was the faint glow of her phone screen outlining her silhouette.

【Whoa, power outage.】

【More! More! We didn’t get enough!】

【User17493258: Guess it’s time to call it a night. See you next stream.】

【Su Su’s Cat: Meow? Stay a little longer.】

【Perfect Vibes rn! Please streamer, spoil us a little—just use a flashlight and stream a bit more!】

【No Cat, No Stars: It’s too dark—bad for your eyes. Streamer, take a break. Your health matters.】

【Emergency Services: Stay safe and lock the door.】

Caught off guard, Su Ci turned off her speaker and said goodbye to her viewers.
“Alright then, I’ll log off for now~”

Just as she exited the app, someone knocked on the door.

Her roommate had already texted earlier to say she wouldn’t be coming back tonight—so who could it be this late?

Su Ci immediately thought of a data leak.

The internet was full of shady types. It wasn’t impossible for some creep to track her down through her IP address.

Grabbing her laundry rod, she used her phone’s flashlight and cautiously approached the door, peeking through the peephole.

The hallway was dark too, with only the green glow of the emergency exit sign faintly illuminating the corridor.

A blurry figure stood at her door.

Judging by the height and build, it was a man.

Su Ci had lived here long enough to know no one else lived on this floor. It couldn’t be a neighbor.

She carefully locked all three bolts on the door.

Outside, Shi Yan was still knocking.

It was late, and the sudden blackout made him uneasy about Su Ci being home alone.

He’d checked the building’s CCTV—her roommate hadn’t returned.

Given that they lived in the same complex, just a few floors apart, Shi Yan felt it was his duty to look out for the girl living alone.

He had always been a responsible man.

“Su Ci, are you home?”

He raised his voice slightly.

“It’s me—Shi Yan.”

Recognizing the familiar voice, Su Ci let out a breath of relief.
So it was him. For a second, she thought it was a burglar.

Shi Yan was a good guy—a model neighbor. She ran into him often, and he would always help her haggle with the uncles at the veggie market and give her a ride on his scooter.

But even so, she didn’t open the door.

It was late. Just the two of them. Inappropriate.

“I’m here. Did you need something?”

His voice came from outside, slightly anxious.

“The power’s out. My freezer’s down. Wanna help me finish a drawer full of ice cream?”

Su Ci: “…Huh?”

Five minutes later, Su Ci was on Shi Yan’s balcony, licking an ice cream bar in the cool night breeze.

A guy who haggled over street food with her couldn’t be that bad. She trusted him.

In her mind, this man only had eyes for money, not romance.

Losing a whole drawer of ice cream? That would break his heart. Especially since it was her recommendation that convinced him to stock up.

This was the best value-for-money, debt-of-gratitude ice cream she’d ever eaten.

“How much was it? I’ll transfer you.”

Shi Yan blinked.
“No need. Consider this your reward for helping me out. As long as it’s not wasted, I should be thanking you.”

Su Ci looked up the retail price online—four yuan a bar. She quickly transferred him twenty yuan.

She’d never been this polite with anyone before. But last time she bumped into Shi Yan at the corner store, he had refused to take a pack of gum in exchange for a one-cent coin.

Money clearly meant a lot to him.

Shi Yan stared at the transfer message, brows lowering slightly in thought. After a while, he got up and walked into the bathroom.

Su Ci figured he just needed the toilet and continued stargazing, absentmindedly nibbling her ice cream.

Totally worth it.

Made up for missing her late-night snack.

Five minutes.
Ten minutes.

Shi Yan still hadn’t come out.

What was going on? Food poisoning? Did he fall in?

Just as she was about to excuse herself and head back downstairs, a loud thud came from the bathroom, followed by the violent whoosh of running water.

She knocked on the door.

“Shi Yan? You okay in there?”

Under the roar of the water, his voice was faint, broken, and trembling—clearly suppressing pain and distress.

“Huff… a bit… can you help—”

“Louder—I can’t hear you.”

“Help me—open the door.”

Su Ci: “Are you sure? You want me to open it?”

Aren’t bathroom doors usually locked from the inside?

Or had he just… not locked it?

Surely not. With her still in the house?

Whether showering or using the toilet, most people cared about privacy… right?

Su Ci swallowed hard.

“Are you wearing clothes?”

“Mm… yeah…”

With that confirmed, Su Ci gripped the handle and slowly pushed the door open, flashlight beaming into the steamy interior.

The shower valve had blown off, and water sprayed like a geyser. Shi Yan was sprawled on the floor, water blasting his face, eyes squeezed shut.

Apparently, he’d knocked over the body wash too—slick liquid was smeared all over the tiles, and the air was thick with its sweet scent.

Then—bang—Su Ci slammed the door shut.

“That’s what you call wearing clothes?!”

Leaning against the wall, she squeezed her eyes shut, but all she could see was the chaotic scene inside: a barely-secured towel clinging to his hips, water trickling down the contours of his chest and abdomen, outlining everything.

Even those risqué dance streamers weren’t this—

This… much!

Shi Yan wiped his face and waited until the body wash had been rinsed off and the floor was no longer slippery. Then, holding the wall, he stood up and walked toward the door.

He knocked lightly.

“Sorry… I didn’t think you’d use a flashlight.”

He’d only accidentally broken the valve.

He’d just wanted to borrow her bathroom for a quick shower.

Who would’ve thought everything would go wrong in a chain reaction?

Dropped the body wash. Slipped. Lost the towel.

He didn’t mean to!

How did it end up right in front of her?!

And the scent of that body wash—it was so strong it could cover up all sorts of awkward smells.

Shi Yan chuckled under his breath, reaching for the handle—only to feel slight resistance.

Su Ci was bracing the door from outside.

“Y-you wait till I’m gone to come out!”

Shi Yan gently pushed harder, slipping out through the narrow opening and catching the fleeing girl by the wrist.

“You’re locking me in the dark? Solitary confinement?”

He pointed to the scrape on his knee.

“I got hurt. Could you take a look?”

Su Ci turned her face away.
“You—!”

Shi Yan pressed her hand against the towel.

“Don’t worry. It’s tied tight. Triple knot.”

Cat: Showing my face to seduce senpai.
Shi Yan: I showed a bit more than you did. (smirks)
