That Saturday, Jiāng Yù was preparing to go out to buy things with the papers he had spent the morning revising. On the way, an advertisement from a ceramics shop caught his attention. "Picking a wisp from the sky-blue, romanticizing my mortal world's fireworks!"
Yes, sister, just like that wisp of mortal world's fireworks, you suddenly descended into my world. So, he discarded everything on the paper and decided to make a ceramic piece himself. He spent the whole day at the ceramics shop, his hands swollen, and used piles and piles of discarded clay before he could barely make a presentable cup.
The cup body was imprinted with Cí Tóng's name, and his own name was carved on the handle. Nán Yǔ looked at the discarded clay around him and a sense of accomplishment surged within him. He thought he was quite talented!
It was already ten-thirty when Nán Yǔ returned home that evening. He had planned not to stream today and get some rest early, until he saw over 99+ messages. CC: Xiǎo Yù, are you streaming today?
If you're too tired to stream, just put up a notice. We need to climb the ranks tonight. Wáwa: Treasure, hurry up and stream!!!!
My wallet is already fat! No Homework: Yú Zi, were you abducted by aliens? Why aren't you streaming yet!
Hūhū: Missing Yú Zi for the 1234th minute… … Nán Yǔ jolted awake and sat up in bed.
He quickly replied to the messages and announced in the group chat that he would be streaming. He rushed to the bathroom, washed off the face mask, dried his face, then set up his phone stand and sat at his desk. The whole process took only two minutes.
Indeed, when people are pushed to their limits, they always unleash infinite potential. "I'm sorry, my treasures, I'm late." Nán Yǔ said apologetically, being urged to stream by his fans for the first time.
The public chat was flooded with [It's okay, treasure] [We understand, we understand] [Xiǎo Bǎo, take care of yourself] (Scrolling message) CC: If you're tired, go rest. I'll guard the stream room. "It's okay, sister, I can do it.
Thank you for accompanying me." Nán Yǔ originally felt guilty for not starting the stream and forgetting to climb the ranks. If he really went to rest, it would be truly disheartening.
If he didn't care about his own ranking, and the big brothers and big sisters had spent so many days, so much time and money, only to fail in the end, it would be a true tragedy. In the last hour of the last day, everyone started pushing. Nán Yǔ's ranking, originally sixth, had now dropped to twenty-third, and the score difference was very small, with those behind him closely chasing.
[CC sent Nán Yǔ Spring Romance +1+2……+10] [CC sent Nán Yǔ Spring Romance +10] [CC sent Nán Yǔ Spring Romance +12] [Wáwa sent Nán Yǔ Spring Romance +8] [Chengzi Likes to Eat Oranges sent Nán Yǔ Spring Romance +12] [Hūhū sent Nán Yǔ Sea of Flowers Roaming +1] [No Homework sent Nán Yǔ Sea of Flowers Roaming +1] ……. Everyone was doing their best, with layers of effects filling the screen for a full five minutes. By then, Nán Yǔ's ranking had risen to tenth.
Seeing everyone frantically pushing, especially sister, Nán Yǔ became a little worried. "Sister, my treasures, being in the top ten is already great." CC: It must be first place!
After Cí Tóng finished typing, she started sending Spring Romance again, tapping it like little hearts, showing no sign of nervousness. [CC sent Nán Yǔ Spring Romance +10] [CC sent Nán Yǔ Spring Romance +36] Wáwa and the family in the stream room followed C sister's lead. [Wáwa sent Nán Yǔ Spring Romance +10] [Qīng Fēng sent Nán Yǔ Sea of Flowers Roaming +2] With 30 minutes left until the Spring event ended, the countdown had already begun.
[We're third, and fourth place is catching up closely] [We're not far from second place either] At this moment, Dà Měi connected via video call. "Little brother, I'll use an alt account to help you push the ranks!" Dà Měi said immediately as she met Nán Yǔ's gaze.
Nán Yǔ was startled by her words and quickly waved his hands, "No need, no need, Dà Měi sister, don't spend the money." "It's okay, I'm not pushing for this event!" With that, the screen showed [Shì Xiǎo Měi Ā sent Nán Yǔ Spring Romance +6] [Yǒu Mù Yǒu sent Nán Yǔ Spring Romance +12] [Míng Tiān sent Nán Yǔ Spring Romance +12] [WWW sent Nán Yǔ Spring Romance +6] Dà Měi's family members also entered Nán Yǔ's stream room to help.
Nán Yǔ took a deep breath, a mist forming in his eyes. "Little brother, you must get first place. My C sister has put in so much effort.
Go, Nán Yǔ and family in the stream room!" Nán Yǔ's eyes welled up with tears. He tilted his head slightly, preventing them from falling.
"Okay! We will definitely get first place!" Nán Yǔ clenched his fist, unwilling to let everyone's efforts go to waste.
In the final ten minutes, he finally ranked first. In the last ten minutes, as long as they held on, they would be first! Time ticked by second by second, Nán Yǔ's face covered in beads of sweat.
How he wished he could create a small account to share the pressure in the stream room, to contribute himself, but his platform commission for the month hadn't been released yet, and he had no money. He desperately wanted to win for the first time. Cí Tóng used up all the diamonds she had just recharged.
Just as she was about to recharge again, she received a reminder: [Your recharge for today has reached the maximum limit!]. Only now did Cí Tóng start to panic. How could there be a limit?
Now it's too late, she has money but can't spend it! Cí Tóng frowned, a hint of annoyance on her face. Suddenly, she thought of Jiāng Héng in the study and ran out without even putting on her slippers.
Jiāng Héng saw Cí Tóng barefoot on the floor and his brow twitched. He walked over, picked Cí Tóng up, and placed her on the bed. "The floor is cold.
Leave the rest to me." Jiāng Héng petted Cí Tóng's head and comforted her softly. Cí Tóng watched the second hand tick by, constantly refreshing the rankings, willing it to be first!
The final minute! [AIC sent Nán Yǔ Spring Romance +30] Currently ranked first, exceeding the second place by over 800,000 points! Nán Yǔ's hands clenched, making his already swollen hands even more painful.
The countdown began! Ten! Nine!
Eight! [Shénmì Rén 4863 sent Nán Yǔ Spring Romance +18] Three! Two!
One! The rankings closed! The Spring event was over!
"We succeeded! We succeeded! We are first!"
Nán Yǔ exclaimed, tears streaming down his face. He shot up from his seat. "Thank you!
Thank you, sister, brother-in-law, Wáwa, Hūhū, Dà Měi sister and her family, Brother Shénmì Rén, thank you!" Nán Yǔ bowed deeply and for a long time. He didn't know what else to say, only that he would prove everything with his future actions.

Shì Xiǎo Měi Ā: C Emperor is the best! The public chat was filled with [C Emperor is the best]. The point difference between first and second place this time was over a million points, breaking the record for Spring events in previous years.
One could only imagine what a stir it would cause tomorrow!
