Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts Chapter 389: AI Yuan-chan Debuts!

To differentiate from her online persona “Yuanyuan,” Xia Yuan not only optimized her virtual avatar but also processed her voice with synthetic tuning.

For this month’s preparation, her online concert setlist included not only Yuanyuan’s signature songs but also popular ani classics like “Ren’ai Circulation,”“Senbonzakura,”“Little Love Song,” and “Platinum Disco.”

Each of these iconic tracks ca with its own otaku dance, which Xia Yuan mastered and incorporated into her performance.

However, the concept of “otaku dance” wasn’t yet mainstream on CStation. Xia Yuan also shouldered the mission of promoting and developing the site’s dance and cover-singer communities.

Having self-studied Japanese during high school sumrs—though never taking proficiency exams—Xia Yuan possessed a knack for languages. Coupled with her lifelong otaku credentials, she’d grown up singing these ani classics, amassing an extensive repertoire.

After a month of relentless promotion, the debut of CStation’s next-gen “AI virtual strear” Yuan-chan garnered 2 million followers the mont her account went live.

Even before the stream started, fans flooded the channel:

[DivingBanana]:“Bruh why are y’all here at dawn?”

[AngryBirdThief]:“Isn’t Yuan-chan streaming at 7 AM?”

[CornerKisser]:“IT’S EVENING, DUMBASS!”

[LewdJasmine]:“I’m camping for front-row seats~”

[BlueWhiteStripes]:“Yuan-chan’s first sofa is MINE!”

[MysteryChicken]:“Sorry, you’re sitting on my ‘stick.’”

[BlueWhiteStripes]:“Huh? Don’t feel it.”

[LewdJasmine]:“Think Yuan-chan is really Yuanyuan?”

[CornerKisser]:“Doubt it. Yuanyuan’s one-third of Yuanxi’s Trifecta—a CEO idol. No way she’d ‘work’ as a strear.”

[LewdJasmine]:“But I’ll feel betrayed if it’s NOT her…”

[BlueWhiteStripes]:“Then why are you here? It’s literally advertised as an AI modeled after Yuanyuan—no human involved.”

[Chat]:“666”

One hour before showti, Xia Yuan reviewed her setlist when a sudden shoulder tap made her jump—smacking her head into i Fang’s chin.

“AH! Ah Fang, you okay?! Let kiss it better—mwah mwah mwah—”

“I’m fine, just checking on you.” Rubbing his chin, i Fang studied her. “Not nervous?”

“Please, I’ve perford live before. This is just streaming—zero pressure.”

“Market research estimates 1 million concurrent viewers tonight.”

“A million?! Did you buy bot accounts?! CStation’s daily active users barely hit that!”

“Ancient history. We’re at 10 million DAU now.” i Fang clutched his chest dramatically. “My wife doesn’t even know her husband’s achievents… sniff.”

“Ugh, stop teasing!” Xia Yuan spread her arms. “Just hug . I need Super Ah Fang Energy.”

As i Fang embraced her, warmth flooded Xia Yuan—a sensation he’d gladly recharge forever.

“Yuanyuan.”

“Mhm?”

“I love you most.”

Liar.

You say the sa to Youxi.

Yet despite her ntal protests, Xia Yuan clung tighter, whispering into his ear:

“ too.”

[Countdown: 10… 9… 8…]

The screen lit up in a 3D space, first revealing a rabbit-shaped pink hairband.

“Uh… like this?”

“Cara! Cara!”

Adjusting the angle, Xia Yuan—now Yuan-chan—greeted the tsunami of bullet comnts:

“Hajimashite! I’m Yuanxi Interactive’s first-gen AI virtual idol, Yuan-chan!”

The chat exploded:

[WIFEY!]

[MY WIFE!]

[MAMA YUAN-CHAN!]

[DAISUKI!]

“Wow, you’re all so passionate! Let reply to so comnts~”

“As you can see, I’m an AI modeled after CStation’s boss la—oops—one of Yuanxi’s founders, Yuanyuan! So I share many traits with her!”

“Like? Well… I love singing, gaming, ani, and making friends with everyone here—”

Scanning the chat, she paused at one question:

“Do I like Station Master i Fang?”

Yuan-chan tapped her chin thoughtfully:

“He’s my creator—like a daddy to ! Of course I love him!”

[OHHHHH!]

[THIS CONFESSION IS ILLEGAL!]

[SA! RIVALS IN LOVE!]

[BLADES OUT! STEAL YUAN-CHAN! KILL I-DOG!]

“Alrighty! Tonight’s not just my debut—I’ve prepared a mini concert! Let showcase my specialty~”

Her performances earned roaring applause and virtual gifts. Fans spamd “wife” comnts, which Xia Yuan—separating persona from self—took in stride, responding playfully.

“Tired of songs? What else should I do?”

“Taylor-expand this inequality in 10 seconds…?”

Yuan-chan’s face froze. “HOW WOULD I KNOW THIS?!”

[LMAO ‘AI’ MY ASS]

[More like Artificial Idiot!]

“YOU’RE the idiot! QAQ!”

Whether by fate or cosmic irony, Yuan-chan’s “QAQ” whimper mirrored the infamous trash-talking style of legendary VTuber Kizuna AI—instantly going viral.

By night’s end, “Yuan-chan QAQ” s and “Artificial Idiot” tags trended for days, centing her as CStation’s breakout star.
