That evening, Xiao He's live stream attracted a massive crowd.This time was already after the May Day holiday, during the days when everyone was back to work or school, which wasn't a particularly ideal time slot for streaming. However, fans who had long received the news still actively squeezed into the stream room the moment the broadcast went live.
And as the stream was pushed to more viewers, more and more people flooded into the live stream room.
"Welcome everyone to the live stream."
Xiao He looked at the dense barrage of bullet comments and waved in greeting.
Brother Xiao skimmed past the howling ghosts and wolves and the cheesy pickup lines in the bullet comments, answering the most serious question: "We're currently streaming from Handsome He's place. His setup here is pretty complete, and it's convenient for eating."
"Alright, the main course is coming up—"
He Junhao brought over a large serving tray and placed it directly in front of Xiao He.
The next moment, even the live stream picture shook a little.
Xiao He lowered his head to look at the plate covered with a lid. A familiar scene surged into his mind. He looked up at He Junhao with disbelief: "What did you make? You spent the whole afternoon just making this one plate?"
He Junhao was immediately displeased: "What do you mean 'just this one plate'? This is the result of my blood, sweat, and tears for an entire day!"
Xiao He's eye had already started twitching: "Hehehehe."
Why did he just not believe it?
The bullet comments were also laughing.
"See? Even the bullet comments have figured out your troublemaking intentions."
Xiao He crossed his arms, not planning to personally uncover the thing in front of him. Instead, he warily sized up He Junhao.
He Junhao cried injustice: "I'm so wronged! I really didn't pull any tricks this time! I made it very seriously, specifically to celebrate your box office success."
Xiao He: "Why do I just not believe—"
To maintain the suspense for the camera, Xiao He deliberately turned the cover towards himself, blocking the camera's view. He took a peek himself, then abruptly put the lid back, his face full of shock: "You really spent a whole day on this?"
Xiao He watched with satisfaction as the bullet comments were racked with anxiety, a mischievous smile appearing on his face. Finally, he deliberately drew out his words, asking with great concern: "Can this thing be broadcast? Is it not allowed to be shown? Maybe we should just forget it."
Meanwhile, He Junhao scratched his head, also starting to worry: "Oh no, I got too excited and forgot to consider that."
He was boiling with excitement when he finished the creation, but his heart turned cold the moment it was placed in the live stream.
"It's fine, it's fine."
Xiao He stepped out of the camera frame, quickly whipped up a reverse color filter plugin, then came back.
"Let's try it with this filter first. If we get a warning, we'll switch to a color difference filter."
"Alright."
And so, under the gaze of thousands, Xiao He slowly opened the cover in front of him—
A heart covered in decaying roses lay quietly in the center of the plate.
It was different from a symbolic heart shape; it was very close to a human heart, with textures so realistic they resembled a living organ, yet blooming with large and small, gorgeous red roses. Unfortunately, the edges of those red rose petals were scorched black and festering, wrapped in dark brown decay marks. Like dead love, it was both decadent and dangerous, bizarre yet carrying a sickly sort of delicacy.
At that moment, everyone's first impression wasn't disgust, but irony.
It was like Shu Yuxiu's inner heart, nourishing a decadent and dangerous flower of emotion. The icy, pitch-black heart granted him the ability to lie, yet when the other party was inescapably trapped, he could ruthlessly sever the nourishment, looking down from a lofty height as life quietly passed away.
—Towards the flower, and towards all emotions.
This was He Junhao's impression of Shu Yuxiu's character after watching 'No Bait'.
When he heard Brother Xiao planned to stream tonight, he had been thinking about tonight's "powerful move." But time was too rushed; there really wasn't any extra time to prepare and think. So, when his inspiration dried up, He Junhao thought of 'No Bait', thought of Shu Yuxiu.
He still remembered the first time he showed Xiao He his skull creation; it was based on his understanding and impression of the character Mu Ze.
This time, He Junhao also decided to create such a cake based on his impression of Shu Yuxiu's character from 'No Bait', to serve as the biggest draw of the live stream.
It would both help Xiao He promote 'No Bait' again and show off his own skills.
Sure enough, when they saw such a highly finished work, one that perfectly matched the character's style, the live stream room went crazy.
