[Don’t be sad, I’ll always be with you!]
[You’re a million times prettier than that Mermaid Princess!]
[What’s so great about a fish? They’re stinky and gross. How can they compare to a cute, fluffy bunny?]
Bai Su was confused. She sent a message back: [Just woke up. Who pissed you off?]
Yan Qingya: [Don’t go online!]
Bai Su: [...]
She hadn’t planned on it, but now she was curious.
Yan Qingya: [Fine. The Mermaid Princess did a livestream this afternoon where she sang and gained a ton of followers. Now a lot of people online are predicting you’ll lose.]
[Susu, I know you’ll win on Saturday, so don’t worry! You have to believe in yourself!]
Bai Su: [I’m... not worried.]
Just annoyed. She never intended to accept this challenge in the first place, and now it had become a real headache.
Bai Su logged onto the short-video site. With a simple scroll, she was met with all sorts of rants and analyses from various video creators.
[Singing Beauty Streamer VS Food Streamer, Who Has the Upper Hand?]
[The Underdog’s Revenge: How the Mermaid Princess Will Crush a Top Streamer.]
[Bai Su Weeping at Home: ’I Never Should Have Accepted This Competition’]
These sorts of videos, all predicting her failure with exaggerated, speculative titles, basically all claimed the Mermaid Princess had a better chance of winning than she did.
However, the comment sections were completely overrun by her fans. They were all flaming the video creators, accusing them of maliciously stirring up drama, fawning over foreigners, and shamelessly promoting an outsider at the expense of one of their own.
Bai Su stared at the screen full of toxic comments and couldn’t help but rub her temples, a headache forming.
’This whole thing seems to have blown up more than I expected.’
That evening, when Yelias and Li Chenlin returned home, they were much more cautious than usual.
The three little ones were also exceptionally well-behaved today. They didn’t shout or cause a ruckus, nor did they toss their schoolbags around. They just quietly washed their hands and came to the table for dinner.
The corner of Bai Su’s mouth twitched. "You guys don’t have to be like this. I’m not as fragile as you think."
Yelias looked at her with concern. "Susu, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. It’s fine if you win, and it’s fine if you lose. You’re the one who told me that none of us are perfect and we have to accept our imperfections, right?"
Li Chenlin, however, was supremely confident. He quirked his lip. "Don’t worry, Susu. You’ll definitely win. Trust me. That stupid fish is no match for you."
Bai Su waved her hand dismissively. "Oh, I don’t really care about all that. It’s just... my hand slipped when I was cooking lunch, and I accidentally hit ’accept’."
"I was originally going to refuse. Who you become a Beast Husband to, and who you don’t, should be a mutual decision. It’s not something I should decide on my own."
Li Chenlin said, "Susu, I’ve already packed my dowry. I’m ready to marry into your family whenever you are."
Bai Su: "..."
The three little ones beside them also chimed in, "Mommy is the best mommy in the world, a million times better than that fish!"
"The Mermaid Princess can’t steal your husbands! And even if she does, it’s okay! You still have us, and we can protect you too!"
’It’d be even better if she took them,’ they thought. ’It would save us the trouble of driving these annoying dads away.’
Bai Su couldn’t help but burst out laughing. "Alright! Then let’s go give it a shot!"
「The next day」
The Mermaid Princess went live again, deliberately choosing the exact same time that Bai Su started her broadcast.
With both of them streaming, plenty of content creators who loved a good drama flocked to watch, recording their screens to gather footage for edits.
On one side was Bai Su, the soft and adorable little rabbit, who had tidied up a bit and was wearing a pink triangular bandana, focused on making dessert.
On the other was the Mermaid Princess Rosa Meiya, exquisitely dressed and glittering with shimmering, radiant jewels.
Today, Bai Su was making a strawberry cake. It was a small mousse cake, with the triangular slice adorned with a delicate, cute design and drizzled with a crystal-clear fruit jam.
Upon seeing the beautiful cake, many people’s mouths began to water: [I don’t dare say it, I really don’t! I was lucky enough to stand by the door and smell it once, and I wanted to kneel and kowtow to Bai Su!]
