Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

A few minutes later, the sanctioned Xiao He regretfully closed the game in front of him.

”I’m really not chickening out, I was just about to take the diamond back!”

Before exiting the game, Xiao He was still stubbornly explaining.

It was just controlling a clumsy thief to steal a diamond from a museum! With his current skills, it was a piece of cake!

If Liu Rulan hadn’t called to stop him, he would have already completed the game successfully!

[Haha, the museum director watching the surveillance footage fell into deep contemplation.]

[Security guard: Forget it, forget it, just give it to him, I feel like he really needs it.]

[Brother Xiao, you truly never forget your roots. When I thought you’d be a hero in the canyon, a special forces soldier on the island, you still chose to be a thief. How is this not a form of unwavering consistency?]

[I’m really going to die laughing, isn’t this more interesting than the New Year’s Eve gala? I’ve been laughing all night.]

[I was originally very worried that Brother Xiao would be affected by that incident from a few days ago, but I never expected... Brother Xiao is still Brother Xiao, with strong mental fortitude, completely unaffected.][Am I the only one wondering what the agent called about? Brother Xiao was playing this game just fine, he didn’t do anything wrong, why not let him play?]

[Probably because being a thief in the game counts as projecting a negative image? This is the downside of being a celebrity, everything you do gets blown out of proportion. Maybe while Brother Xiao is still streaming, parents will start boycotting Xiao He, saying Brother Xiao isn’t setting a good example and is spreading bad ideas.]

[? Damn, I actually think someone would really do that. Brother Xiao is going to get scolded again.]

[Brother Xiao truly lives up to his name, no matter when, his persona stands tall, even playing a game he’s the villain.]

[Haha, when did Brother Xiao ever establish a persona? Brother Xiao is so wronged! He’s played good guys too.]

[Shen Jue who knows the Bone-Cleaving Knife Technique: Ah yes yes, I’m a good guy.]

[Xu Ning who slaughtered other players: Ah yes yes, I’m a good guy.]

[Hahaha, it’s okay Brother Xiao, tomorrow night when ’Yu Ye’ airs, you’ll definitely be able to change everyone’s opinion of you. After all, Yin Qi is such a good boy! A sunny younger brother, worth the wait.]

[Uh? Upstairs, are you just a Little Box fan who hasn’t read the original work?]

[Yin Qi smiles: Ah yes yes, I’m a good guy.]

[? What’s going on? I suddenly have a bad feeling.]

[Me too.]

[It’s fine, watch it with peace of mind, Brother Xiao really is a good guy in it.]

[Brother Xiao’s transformation work, everyone must not miss it.]

[...I’ll just watch quietly, won’t say a word.]

For the last bit of time, Xiao He didn’t livestream playing games anymore, he just chatted normally with the netizens for a while.

Fortunately, the remaining time wasn’t too much either, with only ten minutes left until the new year.

Following the netizens’ suggestions, Xiao He found the most classic New Year’s toast movie clip online, then poured a cup of Sprite in front of the camera.

The sensitive livestream platform didn’t allow drinking alcohol, otherwise it would be an instant stream termination warning.

Xiao He really didn’t want his final Hot Search to be [Shocking! Brother Xiao’s Livestream Banned for Alcohol Abuse!].

So he used Sprite for the final sense of ceremony.

Soon, the faint sound of fireworks blooming could be heard from outside the window.

Even though Xiao He was livestreaming, he could still hear it very clearly.

He took off his headphones, turned his head to look at the night sky outside the window, a touch of lingering softness in his eyes and brows.

After entering the industry, one New Year’s Eve was spent with his roommate He Junhao, another was spent with the people from the ’Yu Ye’ production team.

And this time, there were many people online keeping him company.

The number of people in the livestream room also kept rising during this time. Many of Xiao He’s fans, even if they were busy with their own things in real life, didn’t forget to come to the livestream room at this most critical moment of New Year’s Eve to spend it with their favorite idol.

No one spoke in the final minute, everyone held their breath together, watching the countdown on their phones.

[Ten]

[Nine]

[Eight]

...

Accompanied by the countdown from many people in the bullet comments, the sound of fireworks rang out outside the window again.

[One!]

[Happy New Year!]

[Happy New Year, Brother Xiao, I hope you can get better and better!]

[Xiao He, Happy New Year!]

[We will always be by your side in the future, Brother Xiao, keep going! You will always be my favorite idol!]

[Brother Xiao, keep going! Don’t be affected by the outside gossip, you are the brightest superstar! I will always be your Little Box fan!]

[Brother Xiao, love you!]

”Nothing more to say, cheers!”

Xiao He shook the wine glass at the camera, then downed the Sprite in the glass in one go. The bullet comments were also full of friendly New Year’s blessings and well-meaning words of encouragement.

And as the new year arrived smoothly, it also meant this livestream had come to a perfect end.

The young man in front of the camera waved his hand, smiling exceptionally gently, a completely different person from the characters in his works, yet both carried the unique personal charm and spiritual core belonging to Xiao He.

It was the underlying color that wouldn’t change no matter what character skin wrapped it, the steadfastness to follow one’s heart no matter the circumstances.

”Everyone, Happy New Year!”

-

”Woo-hoo!”

As soon as Xiao He ended the livestream, he heard cheers coming from downstairs.

Xiao He walked out of the study, stood by the railing and looked down, and sure enough saw several familiar figures setting up tableware at the picnic table in the center of the garden.

This small garden inside the villa had been neglected for so long, now it finally had a reason for its existence—

”Yo, Brother Xiao, is the livestream over?”

He Junhao stood with hands on hips, looking up, calling out to Xiao He over the sound of fireworks.

Xiao He smiled and nodded: ”Yeah, it’s over.”

”That’s great, come on, come on, come down and evaluate my latest creation!”

As he spoke, He Junhao pushed forward a mysterious tray.

Xiao Chen, who was preparing plates nearby, immediately said warily: ”Um, please take that thing away. We still need to take photos later, that thing of yours isn’t suitable to be on this table.”

Lao Qi silently brought over another table, then transferred He Junhao’s tray to this table.

He Junhao pouted unhappily: ”Hey, how can you guys be like this?”

Dai Bo laughed heartily: ”Quick, take your masterpiece further away, lest Brother Xiao throws you and your thing out together later.”

Zhai Zhipeng was somewhat helpless: ”When did you, a chef from the food section, skew your skill points?”

This was far from the imagined master chef!

Just as the few people on site were fooling around with each other, other people arrived outside the villa.

”So lively.”

Shu Han and his agent He Wenming followed Liu Rulan inside.

”Sorry to intrude.”

Seeing Xiao He, Shu Han and He Wenming greeted him together, ”We just came down from an event, happened to run into Sister Liu, so we followed along to take a look.”

”Welcome!”

Xiao He naturally wouldn’t refuse, smiling as he asked Lao Qi to help prepare seats.

There were really a lot of people at the villa today. Besides a few former roommates Xiao He knew, there were also a few people from Linghui Entertainment after he entered the industry.

Everyone might not have known each other before this, but because they shared the same friend, Xiao He, getting along wasn’t awkward at all.

Among them, He Junhao was so happy his face turned red. After getting Shu Han’s consent, his New Year’s Eve vlog this year would not only feature the already famous Xiao He, but also the even more renowned actor Shu Han.

As for Xiao He’s other two roommates, after meeting Shu Han, they weren’t overly restrained or fawning either, their attitude was very natural. Shu Han also breathed a sigh of relief and simply decided to stay and eat together.

Only during the meal, He Junhao rubbed his hands together, finally deciding to show everyone the true culinary skills of a food section blogger with millions of online fans—

He pulled Xiao He over, then nudged Xiao He’s arm, signaling him to uncover the mysterious tray cover, looking very expectant.

Xiao He couldn’t help but recall the ”bloody” skull cake He Junhao made for him the year before last for New Year’s Eve.

He couldn’t help but stare at He Junhao, tentatively asking: ”What exactly is inside this?”

Let me mentally prepare!

”You’ll know once you open it!”

He Junhao’s expectation was mixed with urging.

Xiao He looked at Xiao Chen and Lao Qi again, trying to get some clues from them.

However, this time Xiao Chen and Lao Qi very tacitly averted their eyes.

Fi-ine then.

With a nervous heart, Xiao He lifted the cover in front of him—
