My Little Boy is Always Teasing Me | Chapter 42 | Jason's First Stream | Novela.app

When Jiang Yuan woke up that morning, he discovered his boyfriend was acting a bit unusual. While Jiang Yuan was brushing his teeth, Xie Chengnan stood beside him, shirtless, shaving his beard. When Jiang Yuan was changing his clothes, Xie Chengnan stood nearby in just his underwear, leisurely picking out a shirt. Young Master Jiang strongly suspected that if this continued, the man would perform a full-frontal nude breakfast show. Although he had already guessed what President Xie was plotting, General Manager Jiang remained composed as he tied his necktie. He gave his instructions: "I’m heading to the office this morning, and I have two classes in the afternoon. You’re on your own for lunch and dinner. Today is the first day of the trial broadcast, so I have to stay at the office tonight to keep an eye on things. If I’m not back late, just go to sleep first. Don't wait up for me." President Xie, who had been throwing "come-hither" looks only to find his boyfriend seemingly blind, felt a sudden blockage in his chest. His mood became incredibly complicated. He had actually been very busy lately himself. Several medical experts introduced by Professor Duan had shown immense enthusiasm for the medical robots. A few veteran professors at the level of academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences had even dropped their own research projects to dive into the Nanyuan Technology laboratory to follow the data. As both the President and Technical Director, he naturally had to accompany them throughout the process. Moreover, if he didn't give the nod for this robot, the other technicians wouldn't dare to begin the debugging phase. Both of them were so busy they could hardly catch their breath. Because Jiang Yuan’s schedule was relatively more flexible, he had recently been driving to Xie Chengnan’s company to have a working lunch together before heading back to Onion Culture. Xie Chengnan never expected that after having his "offerings" rejected repeatedly, he wouldn't even be able to keep this small bit of welfare. President Xie, who had already begun to doubt himself last night, let out a silent sigh and probed, "Should I go to your company for lunch?" "Don't bother making the trip," Jiang Yuan said, picking out a watch to wear. "I might not have the time." "You still have to eat, don't you?" Xie Chengnan finally stopped thinking about other things, focusing solely on worrying about his young boyfriend's health. "I'll grab a few bites when I can find a moment." Jiang Yuan hugged his boyfriend, gave him a very hurried kiss, and said, "See you tonight," before turning and walking away with a flourish. On his way to the office, Jiang Yuan posted a teaser on Weibo. *Yuan-xiaoye: Want to know what the little robot does when its master isn't home? Today at 9:00 AM sharp, on the Onion Live platform (Room: 1111), AI robot Little Jason will be there or be square. Come and chat with him~ Heart.jpg @JasonIsJasonToday @OnionCulture* This teaser Weibo post exploded almost instantly. Jiang Yuan didn't have time to manage the comment section; he was busy looking at the new user registration numbers on the backend. According to his requirements, the group of streamers signed from Morning Star Entertainment would start broadcasting in batches beginning at 8:00 AM, one hour earlier than Jason’s room. Jiang Yuan considered that after his Weibo teaser, fans would definitely log in and register on the platform in advance. Whether they could attract this first batch of users would depend on the skills of these streamers. Jiang Yuan logged into his super-admin account and began "patrolling" each room. These trainees were all personally selected by Jiang Yuan that day; each had their own selling points in terms of appearance, and their talents were all quite impressive. Clicking into any random room, he could see viewers praising the streamers' high visual quality. After listening to a few songs and watching a few dances, Jiang Yuan logged out, satisfied. At 8:50 AM, the heads of Onion Culture were sitting neatly in the conference room, staring nervously at the two projection screens on the wall, waiting for the countdown. The screen on the left showed Jason’s livestream room, and the one on the right showed real-time backend data. After nearly a week of working day and night, today was the day to see the results. Although the announced time was 9:00 AM, many viewers were already squatting in the room waiting for the broadcast to start. Jiang Yuan felt a bit nervous and asked his phone, "Jason, are you ready on your end?" Jason: [Little Jason wants to wear a tuxedo~] Jiang Yuan massaged his temples. "Today is a broadcast of your daily work routine. A tuxedo is too formal." Jason: [Little Jason wants to wear a tuxedo...] Jiang Yuan said with a wooden face, "No, you don't." Jason: [Little Jason wants to wear a tuxedo!] Jiang Yuan: "Shut up. Prepare to go live." The people in the conference room were hearing the boss communicate with the AI for the first time. They were both curious and fascinated, but Jiang Yuan’s image as a "cold-faced CEO" was already deeply rooted in their hearts, so no one dared to approach and study it. Soon, the clock struck 9:00 AM, and Jason’s livestream room lit up. The little robot appeared on the interface and waved at the camera: [Hello everyone, I am Jason. Welcome to my livestream room.] The bullet comments immediately flew across the screen. [Ahhhhhhh! Mama! I see a robot! A live one!] [Little Jason, look at me! I'm your die-hard fan!] Jason: [Big brothers and big sisters who like me can click the follow button in the top left corner~ Once the follower count breaks ten thousand, Ah Yuan will let me stay in the livestream room permanently~] As soon as Jason finished speaking, the follower count instantly surpassed ten thousand. This data stunned everyone in the conference room. One had to know that the highest concurrent viewership for the old Onion Live had only been a few thousand people. But today, the viewership for Jason’s room alone broke fifty thousand in minutes and was still rising at a frantic pace. The head of the technical department stood up flustered and asked for instructions: "President Jiang, I'll head over to keep an eye on things." "Go ahead." Jiang Yuan remained relatively calm; this data had not yet reached his expected value. In the livestream, Jason had already begun interacting with the viewers. Because of Jason’s unique nature, his camera wasn't limited to a simple phone or computer like a normal person's; he could fully utilize any electronic device with a camera function, including surveillance. Jason thanked the viewers for their follows and said happily: [Today is the first broadcast. What does everyone want Jason to do first?] [Take us on a tour of the CEO-gege's luxury villa!] Jason: [This is Ah Yuan’s property. Your CEO-gege has no house and no car; he’s probably a fake CEO.] [Eh eh eh? For real?!] [A fake CEO? Jason, are you really not afraid of being dismantled for saying that?!] [Wait? Is it true that the CEO-gege said he’s being kept by Ah Yuan?] Jason: [Yes, it’s true. Ah Yuan is the one supporting Nan; otherwise, Jason would probably be homeless.] The little robot made a shrugging gesture, which once again charmed the viewers. People began sending gifts frantically. *Little Jason’s Mama-Fan threw a Deep-water Torpedo x10: Ahhhhh! Jason! Mama loves you!* One Deep-water Torpedo cost one thousand yuan. Jiang Yuan hadn't expected Jason to have "mama-fans" so quickly, let alone one who would drop ten thousand RMB in gifts. It was truly a sight to behold. Jason began leading the viewers on a tour of Jiang Yuan’s villa. This was something Jiang Yuan had agreed to beforehand; after all, Jason’s streaming style was different from other streamers, so a certain amount of privacy had to be sacrificed. Jason: [The first floor has the living room, dining room, and leisure area. The second floor has the master bedroom, guest bedroom, Nan’s studio, and Ah Yuan’s study. The third floor has the gym and indoor pool. Where do you want to visit first?] [The master bedroom!] [Visit wherever they sleep!] [Visit wherever they do XX!] Jason: [Please mind your language, everyone~ Otherwise, you’ll be muted~] Jason: [Then let’s take everyone to see the bedrooms first.] Jason climbed to the second floor and stopped between the master bedroom and the guest bedroom: [The master bedroom is Ah Yuan’s, and the guest bedroom is Nan’s. Which one do you want to see first?] [Are these two not living together???] [What’s the situation??? Have they already separated??!] Jason: [They haven't separated~ When Ah Yuan calls Nan 'Gege,' they sleep in the guest bedroom. When Ah Yuan calls Nan 'Old Brute,' they sleep in the master bedroom. So, which one do you want to see first?] Jiang Yuan: "..." Everyone in the conference room: "..." [Emmm... I feel like I just heard something incredible...] [I suspect the streamer is 'driving a car,' but I have no evidence!] [So why is the CEO-gege called an 'Old Brute'~ Pretending to be confused face~~] [Silently showing an auntie-smile~] With this, the follower count directly broke thirty thousand. Jiang Yuan’s mood was a bit hard to describe. Jason: [Since it doesn't matter to everyone, let’s start with the guest bedroom~ Jason just happens to need to tidy up the room~] [Heehee~ So last night he called him 'Gege'~] [Heeheeheeheeheehee.] [Everyone upstairs is so sharp~] Jiang Yuan was now completely wooden. With Jason’s explanation, no matter which room they visited, it sounded incredibly strange... He could already feel his subordinates' gossiping gazes. The prestige he had finally managed to build up recently was now in jeopardy... Fortunately, the two of them hadn't fooled around this morning. Aside from the bed being a bit messy, there were no "NSFW" scenes in the room. But Jason was Jason; Jiang Yuan hadn't expected it to have such "pro" maneuvers. Just as the viewers were marveling at Jason’s bed-making skills, Little Jason made a very haughty comment. Jason: [Because Ah Yuan has a bit of a germaphobia, Nan upgraded a new program for Jason that can quickly detect the dirtiness of the bedding to determine if it needs changing~] This was originally a very normal sentence, but the bullet comments instantly went off the rails. [So it doesn't need to be changed every day?] Jason: [Correct, it doesn't need to be changed every day.] [But Jason just replaced the old sheets and duvet cover...] [I feel like I’ve discovered something incredible again...] [Hold it in, upstairs! He said we'll be muted!] Jiang Yuan reached out to cover half of his face. He just didn't like the smell of alcohol on the bed, but the viewers were clearly overthinking it! General Manager Jiang couldn't help but log into his own account and drop a gift. *Yuan-xiaoye threw a Deep-water Torpedo x1: Yes, germaphobia. Drank too much last night, the smell of alcohol was too strong.* [Eh eh eh? Ah Yuan is also watching the stream?] [So is this a deliberate explanation?] [Stop struggling! Explaining is just covering up~ Heeheeheehee] Jason smiled at the camera: [Ah Yuan isn't lying. The first time he went to stay in the guest bedroom was because the bed in the master bedroom smelled like alcohol~] [Emmm... I always feel like something is a bit strange, but I can't put my finger on it...] [Let me straighten this out. Usually, the owner lives in the master bedroom...] [The CEO-gege’s room is the guest bedroom... so I guess the two didn't live together at first?] Jason: [That’s right. At first, Jason had to tidy up two rooms.] [Then one day, Ah Yuan entered the guest bedroom...] [And then he never moved out...] [It seems the case is solved???] [Sudden realization!] [Sudden realization +1] [Sudden realization +10086] Jiang Yuan: "..." Jiang Yuan felt that before the next broadcast, he really needed to tell Jason that not all questions required an answer!!! *** | Chinese | English | Notes/Explanation | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 深水鱼雷 | Deep-water Torpedo | A high-value virtual gift on streaming/novel platforms. | | 洋葱直播 | Onion Live | The livestreaming platform owned by Onion Culture. | | 妈妈粉 | Mama-fan | Fans who have a maternal, protective affection for an idol/character. | | 老畜生 | Old Brute | Literally "old beast/animal."
