Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 377 - 396: But I Don’t Want to Just Be Number One in Everyone’s Hearts

—Why didn’t you say anything in the group chat when you were inviting someone!

—Ahhh, I... I...

Yuan Bai had been chatting up a storm in the group, daring to drop all sorts of wild comments. But when he saw Jiang Qiuqiu join, he instantly went silent, turning into a dedicated lurker and just watching the screen.

Everyone’s reactions were pretty intense, which left Wanxing completely bewildered.

Wanxing: Didn’t you all say you wanted to get closer to Juju?

Wanxing: You were so impatient every single day, asking if the admins had permission to invite the streamer. Now that I’ve invited her, you’re all... ??

Wanxing: Acting like a shy bride on her wedding day? All bashful? Come on, you all call yourselves tough guys.

—We honestly thought you didn’t have permission.

Wanxing: ???

—Haven’t you heard our roars! Please, keep our idol far away from her fans’ lives!!! Retract the invitation, quickly!

Wanxing: ?? Too late.

Jiang Qiuqiu appeared right at that moment.

Jiang Jiujiu: Yep, too late. Because I’m already in the group!

—???

Jiang Jiujiu: I took a look. Are you guys not happy that I joined?

She knew her fans were the silly, meme-loving type. Seeing them put on such a vivid, live performance, Jiang Qiuqiu couldn’t resist teasing them a little.

—How could that be! With Juju in the group, our humble abode is honored!

—Happy, so happy! This calls for a universal celebration!

They were just messing around; of course they were happy. After laughing it off, everyone quickly retracted all the messages they had sent in the group earlier.

For a moment, the screen was filled with the word "Retracted" over and over. For messages that were too old to be retracted (past the two-minute mark), they started spamming welcome messages to flood the chat and push the old ones out of view.

The atmosphere gradually became harmonious. Wanxing had something to do, so she left the group chat.

At first, the active fans were a little shy. But after getting to interact with her up close, they realized the text version of Jiang Qiuqiu was no different from the live-streaming version of Jiang Qiuqiu, and they couldn’t help but start asking questions.

Someone asked Jiang Qiuqiu if she had prepared the dishes for tomorrow’s PK.

When Jiang Qiuqiu saw this, she thought they were worried she was nervous, so she sent a message in the group—

"I’m not nervous, don’t worry. The dishes are already prepared."

Then, the fan who asked the question, Haven’t Been a Big Bro for Many Years, appeared again and sent three consecutive question marks: ???

Haven’t Been a Big Bro for Many Years: Nervous? Uh, I’m not nervous! Juju, you’re the GOAT! I just wanted to know what you’re making tomorrow. That way, maybe I’ll see it in my dreams tonight.

Haven’t Been a Big Bro for Many Years: I’ll always believe in Juju! Win or lose, Juju will always be number one in my heart!

This was probably the most sincere sentiment in every fan’s heart. Even though the PK competition was in full swing, in the hearts of her loyal fans, their goddess didn’t need to compete with anyone; she was already their eternal number one.

To the ’Ju people’ in the group, Jiang Jiujiu was exactly that kind of existence.

In the very beginning, none of them had ever imagined that people from all walks of life and from all corners of the world would be brought together by a single dish, but it happened. They also never thought that after becoming mature ’adults,’ they would still battle it out with teenagers in the bullet comments for a streamer, and even be willing to spend a fortune on her without a second thought.

All of this was driven by the purest form of admiration, straight from the heart.

Juju’s cooking brought people joy, Juju’s community felt warm and welcoming, and Juju herself seemed exceptionally gentle and adorable—

And so, many, many people followed Haven’t Been a Big Bro for Many Years and started spamming this slightly sentimental, classic line of fandom devotion.

Juju will always be number one in my heart.

With fans like these, how could anyone not love them?

But—

Jiang Jiujiu: But I don’t want to just be number one in everyone’s hearts.
