The next day, Zhou Yi embarked on his journey back to the province.
When they had first arrived, everyone had kept their distance, but after the competition, they had beco close friends.
Of course, this group didn't include Yang Hong, who had been ostracized.
Watching others fawn over Zhou Yi, Yang Hong could only sneer under his breath.
Even the teammates who had followed him earlier remained silent, as none of them—except Yang Hong—had won any awards.
But they were too embarrassed to speak to Zhou Yi. Having chosen to side with Yang Hong, they now lacked the courage to face him.
Wang Yuyan and Gong Zi sat on either side of Zhou Yi, while Lu Youyou took the seat across from him.
The three most beautiful girls in the team surrounded Zhou Yi. Who wouldn't envy such a scene?
Wang Yuyan, clutching her milk tea cutely, asked, "Captain, can we visit you at Huaihai University soti in the future?"
"Of course. Yuyan's school isn't far from Huaihai University, is it?"
"This weekend, I'll treat everyone to dinner. Last ti, Captain bought such an expensive gift, and I didn't have anything to reciprocate. Luckily, I earned so money from my livestream yesterday—it's my treat!"
Gong Zi smiled and patted her head. "It's fine, Yuyan. Don't dwell on it. Keep the money for yourself."
Wang Yuyan shook her head firmly. "No, no, I insist on treating everyone. No refusals allowed."
Zhou Yi chuckled and agreed. "All right, I'll join."
With Zhou Yi's acceptance, everyone else readily accepted Wang Yuyan's invitation.
They then inquired about Wang Yuyan's livestream and promised to tune in that night to boost her viewership.
The journey back to the province was filled with laughter, a stark contrast to the somber atmosphere surrounding Yang Hong's group.
He could already envision the scene when they traveled to the U.S. for the competition.
After returning to Huaihai, Zhou Yi headed straight to his apartnt. Since he had been away for the competition, skipping classes that afternoon posed no issue.
His phone buzzed incessantly with congratulatory ssages, the most enthusiastic being from his advisor, Wang Wei.
The sheer number of exclamation marks in his WeChat ssages conveyed his excitent.
Zhou Yi chuckled, replied briefly, and then drifted off to sleep.
The trip had indeed been exhausting.
At 7 p.m., Zhou Yi clicked on the link Wang Yuyan had sent him.
It was her livestream.
Zhou Yi's userna was simply "Zhou Yi." Wang Yuyan had been singing, but upon seeing him enter, she imdiately flashed a radiant smile.
"Welco, Captain!"
Wang Yuyan's livestream only had a few dozen viewers since she hadn't been featured on the platform's recomndation yet. That would happen the following day.
Almost everyone from the team was present, except Zhou Yi.
Wang Yuyan's livestream mainly involved singing and chatting. She was pretty and charming, so her fan base was growing rapidly, and so viewers even showered her with gifts.
Zhou Yi stayed in the livestream the entire ti, listening to Wang Yuyan while reviewing project materials sent by Jiang Ruolan.
Later, so viewers in the chat urged Wang Yuyan to participate in a PK battle, but she hesitated.
She was still a novice strear, and if she ended up matched against a popular strear, she'd likely be crushed.
"But...but we don't have much support yet. I'm scared to try."
Wang Yuyan appeared troubled, but then soone in the chat encouraged her:
[Go for it! Big Brother's got your back. Don't be afraid.]
[We'll vote for you, Bunny. Just go for it.]
[The chances of a new strear matching with a big one are slim. Just try it.]
[If you don't do PK battles, it's hard to make money, sis.]
The chat was egging her on, so Wang Yuyan decided to give it a shot.
Soon, she was automatically matched with another strear.
On the screen appeared a heavily filtered face, clearly using a lot of beauty effects, but with an excellent figure.
The other strear's ID was Feifei. She had a large bust and was wearing a black lace top with a deep V-neck, revealing ample cleavage.
Her voice dripped with sultriness.
"Thank you for the gifts, brothers! Love you all, mua~ Kisses for my husbands." She winked and blew a kiss to the cara.
Her chest was practically pressed against the lens, making Wang Yuyan feel awkward and unsure of what to say.
In Feifei's livestream, her supporters were continuously sending gifts.
Wang Yuyan hadn't even had a chance to speak before the PK bar was completely dominated by Feifei's side.
Feifei's side had already racked up $1,000 in gifts.
Wang Yuyan tentatively spoke up. "Hi, nice to et you."
Feifei only acknowledged Wang Yuyan after thanking her supporters for the gifts.
"Hi, what are we playing? If I lose, I'll take off my top and dance."
