12th Dimension: Teacher Balls has gone Live!

Advertisement

Ruan Cunyun has been working for almost two weeks now. And because of his outstanding performance, his tasks were no longer beginner’s brainless tasks, now it required him to learn new knowledge.

Ruan Cunyun readily accepted them. As long as there would be no troublesome social activities on the weekends, Ruan Cunyun would gladly do anything.

He returned home happily that Friday. Ruan Cunyun took a cola and his fried chicken takeout, turned on his TV, and then watched the new recommendations1番导视 is kind of a recommendation and summary of what new anime will be or have been released in so and so month or year and which ones are worth watching or seem interesting. It literally translates to anime guidelines. of anime with great satisfaction.

Ruan Cunyun, multitasking with the same purpose, also scrolled his phone at the same time. Coincidentally, he found that Teacher Balls had sent a new Weibo post as he scrolled.

@BALLS: [Live tonight at 10 p.m.]

Waaaaaahhhhh!

Ruan Cunyun’s hand was still covered in fried chicken oil, but he still stubbornly used his clean pinkies to type out a reply on the screen.

@BALLS my LimpD cure: [I’m squatting2As in waiting, you know chinese would sometimes squat by the roadside or outside the store when waiting!!! Aaaaahhhh I can see fairies descending to the world once again wuwuwu! Will Teacher be on cam today? _(:3」∠)_ (you sure talk nonsense)]

Ruan Cunyun were quickly replied to.

[Did you buy a house in Teacher Balls’ comment area or something? How long has it been since your main account posted! Can’t you find some time to give your fans some crumbs???]

[Counting bacteria: It’s the 1223rd day of Ya mei waiting for Teacher Balls reply]

[Ya, do tell Dad, when are you going to go Live? When are you going to go Live? Even Teacher Balls will go Live, why have you not gone Live?]

A lot of replies, but no BALLS.

It’s very normal, he is used to it.

Ruan Cunyun was too lazy to reply to them, his mood was currently agitated. He quickly packed up his leftover fried chicken and then ordered a cup of milk tea. Tonight he would watch Teacher Balls while drinking. 

Thinking about it, this kind of life is just so comfortable.

As the time approached 9 p.m, Ruan Cunyun quietly squatted in Teacher Balls live broadcast room.

BALLS hadn’t live streamed in a while. This is actually pretty normal, because Teacher Balls live streamed only when he was in the mood, the time was very random and just as she pleased.

Her live broadcast room was as concise as her account and username. No cam, no mic, not even background music. The screen would only display her drawing software interface.

Although her account didn’t radiate much warmth, her drawings had always been vivid and resonant.

The more mysterious she was, the more people speculated on her. What does this person behind the screen look like? How old is she? What kind of work does she do?

Of course all of them are just their imaginations. The most important thing for artists is their work, the rest of the things didn’t matter much.

At exactly 9 p.m3Yeah I don’t know, it is written 10 o’clock above but 9 o’clock here., the live broadcast room flashed and a blank drawing area interface appeared.

The barrages flew past in surges.

[Dear Teacher Balls, Good evening!!]

[What are you going to draw today ya? Can you draw that one? Or this one or also that one.]

[When will Teacher Balls’ previous art collection be sold again aaaahhhhh!!!!! I didn’t get to buy it last time!!]

[Quietly watching God’s hand drawing]

Ruan Cunyun’s barrage also blended in silently with the others’ comments.

As usual, several bold capital letters appeared on the announcement box4Uh I don’t know what to call 公告栏, basically it’s a section where updates, notifs, or announcements can be accessed, so you can later view them (unlike pop up window).

[Blacklisted because of gift-giving]

[LMAO, Teacher Balls really doesn’t lack money.]

[Other anchors: “Thank you XXX for the gift!” Teacher Balls: (Blocked)]

This is BALLS’s good old rule. Viewers of her live broadcast could send barrages, could chat among themselves, but were forbidden from sending her gifts.

Probably because she never turned her mic on, and also didn’t appreciate gifts, so she also didn’t want to take the fans’ money.

There was once when Ruan Cunyun was too engrossed watching the Live broadcast and was too excited, he directly sent out a gift worth 100 yuan5About 14 USD, might not seem much to you in USD but in yuan it’s not that small. A meal usually cost 20-40 yuan, so you might get three meals out of that (assuming the cost is 30 yuan, it’s not “frugal price” btw). After that he was immediately blocked from the live broadcast room.

Ten minutes later, Ruan Cunyun received a private message for a refund. He also had no choice but to register a new account in the live streaming platform.

This feeling of being blocked by a Teacher he liked, truly damnedly makes one fascinated.

Teacher Balls have started sketching, and the first round of guessing “what will be drawn today” has begun on the barrage.

Ruan Cunyun was also enthusiastically guessing along with the other viewers when his phone suddenly vibrated.

——The caller must be Xu Feifei, probably because it’s already late and there’s no one to play games with.

However, the big words “Sister Rain” scared Ruan Cunyun so much his soul almost detached from his body. It’s so late already, why would Leader give him a call at this time ah!

For the socially anxious, the scariest thing for them is answering a phone call. Ruan Cunyun took a deep breath, and then answered before the other party’s patience ran out, respectfully asking, “Good evening, Sister Rain. Is there something wrong?”

Sister Rain’s voice was full of anxiety, “It’s like this. A client suddenly urgently needed the contract, but my daughter is sick and her father is also on a business trip, so I can’t leave now. Can you help me go to the office and get the contract out, then send it out tomorrow morning? I will regard it as your overtime and you will be paid. So sorry for the trouble.”

Ruan Cunyun hurriedly said, “Okay okay, I’ll go get it now. I will let you know after I send it tomorrow. Don’t worry.”

Sister Rain breathed a sigh of relief, “Thank you so much. I will send you the client’s address later.”

Ruan Cunyun then asked the important question, “Has the company locked its doors? Do I need to contact the administrator?”

“Sometimes Mr. Qin works overtime until really late, so the doors on the Tech Department’s floor won’t be locked. You can just swipe your card,” Sister Rain said

Ruan Cunyun nodded, “Okay, Understood. I hope your daughter gets well soon.”

Sister Rain laughed and thanked him, then hung up the call.

The life of corporate slaves. Work sure comes unexpectedly.

Ruan Cunyun was their newest novice at work, it’s understandable that everyone looked to him for help.

Besides, Teacher Balls’ Live broadcast could still be watched as he goes, Ruan Cunyun didn’t feel it was troublesome. He simply picked up his unopened milk tea and set off.

Ruan Cunyun watched Teacher Balls live broadcast while sitting on the subway, happily chatting in the bullet comments.

When he reached the company, the Tech Department, as Sister Rain said, didn’t close their doors. Half of the lights in the office were still on but the whole floor was deserted.

Ruan Cunyun walked to the desks while watching the Live broadcast, and when his point of view changed, he caught a shadow of a person out of the corner of his eyes.

Mr. Qin is still here!

Ruan Cunyun, startled, quickly stuffed his phone into his pants’ pocket.

Qin Fanglu sat casually, leaning on the swivel chair. He was looking down, so focused on writing something.

Help. Mr Qin was already very busy everyday, even on Fridays he still worked overtime until really late, no wonder he was a distinguished young entrepreneur!

Ruan Cunyun really wanted to prostrate himself in admiration.

The sounds of Ruan Cunyun flipping through documents were a bit loud, causing Qin Fanglu to take notice of him.

Qin Fanglu was unexpectedly wearing a pair of black thin-framed glasses, making him look much younger than usual. Kind of like a reserved straight-A-student High-schooler Male God.

It seemed like he had yet to break from his deeply focused state for work, the lens of his glasses seemed to weaken the sharp edges of his gaze, the dim lighting also made his figure look softer.

There was a hint of askance in Qin Fanglu’s gaze. Ruan Cunyun’s throat tightened, but he still took the initiative to explain, “I came here to help Sister Rain get some documents.”

“Hmm,” Qin Fanglu’s responded with an indolent nod, his hums sounding deep and low.

Ruan Cunyun’s scalp was tingling. On one hand because he was nervous, on the other because the Qin Fanglu before his eyes seemed unfamiliar.

Qin Fanglu’s whole person seemed to exude a kind of delighted laziness.

Nonchalant, languid, and satisfied. Like a large feline eating on its nest, showing no concern for anything else.

There were subtle differences from his usual image of a meticulous young elite, but he couldn’t exactly tell where the differences were. In short, there’s a slight difference in his temperament.

Mr. Qin couldn’t be a mutant like Parasyte6 Parasyte the anime/manga (Kiseijuu), right! He wouldn’t suddenly attack him!

Ruan Cunyun pulled back his neck and accelerated his search for the documents. He really wanted to leave this place quickly.

Found it!

Ruan Cunyun was extremely happy, wanting to run as soon as he picked up the documents.

“Ruan Cunyun, come here.”

The demon’s deep voice suddenly rang out from his behind.

Ruan Cunyun’s body went stiff. He turned around slowly, resigned to his fate and moved towards Qin Fanglu.

Could it be that Mr. Qin grabbed him like this to give him a mouthful of reprimand?

No no no, be more realistic….. Mr. Qin couldn’t have wanted him to work overtime with him this late at night, right!
