Ketika Barbie Lowe tiba-tiba meninggalkan live stream, membuat penonton kebingungan, para penggemarnya membanjiri komentar live untuk menyerang Renee Jennings. [Streamer sampah macam apa ini?] [Apa hakmu bicara seperti itu kepada Barbie? Minta maaf kepada Barbie!] [Barbie sedang diikuti orang mesum dan datang kepadamu untuk minta bantuan. Kenapa sikapmu begitu?] [Streamer ini pasti menyerang Barbie hanya karena Barbie lebih cantik.] [Streamer terkutuk ini hanya bisa menjatuhkan perempuan lain sambil menjilat laki-laki. Bagaimana bisa begitu banyak orang menontonnya? Perbaiki selera kalian, orang-orang.] Banyak penonton di live stream adalah penggemar setia Renee Jennings. Melihat komentar-komentar ini, mereka langsung mulai mengetik untuk membalas. [Renee Jennings satu-satunya orang yang aku ikuti!] [Aku sudah menonton sejak lama, dan host selalu sopan kepada semua orang. Barbie Lowe pasti tidak mengatakan yang sebenarnya.] [Kamu bercanda? Barbie Lowe lebih cantik dari Renee Jennings? Dia memakai riasan setebal itu, kamu yakin?] [Aku pernah tidak sengaja menemukan live stream Barbie Lowe sebelumnya. Sekarang *dia* yang menjilat laki-laki, selalu menggoda secara halus.] Melihat komentar-komentar itu pecah menjadi pertengkaran besar, alis Renee Jennings perlahan berkerut. Dia meninggikan suaranya. “Semuanya, tolong berhenti berdebat dengan penggemar Barbie Lowe. Tidak sepadan dengan tenaga kalian.” [Aku sangat kesal. Mereka benar-benar tidak masuk akal.] [Host, apa rencana Barbie Lowe? Katakan saja kepada kami!] [Streamer sampah! Jangan berani-berani memfitnah Kak Barbie kami!] [Host, mungkin kamu harus belajar menahan lidah.] Renee Jennings awalnya tidak berencana membongkar Barbie Lowe. Tetapi cara Barbie bertindak sebelum pergi, ditambah sikap para penggemarnya, membuat Renee merasa tidak bisa membiarkan masalah itu begitu saja. “Yah, karena kalian semua bersikap seperti itu, rasanya aku akan mengecewakan orang-orang yang membelaku jika aku tidak mengatakan sesuatu.” [Jangan takut mengatakannya, Host~ Kami semua mendukungmu~] [Jangan khawatir, kami tidak setuju sedikit pun dengan apa yang dikatakan penggemar Barbie Lowe!] Melihat komentar-komentar yang mendukung, Renee Jennings merasakan kehangatan menyebar di dadanya. Sudut bibirnya sedikit terangkat saat dia menjelaskan, “Barbie Lowe tidak sedang diikuti orang mesum, kucingnya, Egg Roll, tidak menangis karena sesuatu di bawah tempat tidur, dan celananya tidak hilang begitu saja tanpa alasan.” “Saat kami terhubung tadi, Egg Roll sebenarnya terus berbicara sepanjang waktu.” “Apakah ada yang memperhatikan? Selama panggilan, aku bertanya kepada Barbie Lowe apakah dia ingin aku menanyakan hal itu kepada Egg Roll, tetapi dia hanya mengabaikanku dan terus berbicara.” [Aku ingat itu! Aku bahkan mengeluh kepada pasanganku karena dia mengabaikanmu!] [Aku juga ingat. Aku hanya mengira dia terlalu gugup dan lupa menjawabmu.] “Tidak,” kata Renee Jennings lembut. “Dia hanya ingin terhubung untuk mencari perhatian, memanfaatkan live stream-ku untuk mengalihkan lalu lintas ke kanalnya sendiri. Dia sebenarnya tidak menginginkan bantuanku. Dia mengira jika dia menghentikanku berbicara dengan kucingnya, aku tidak akan mengetahui kebenarannya.” [Apa? Bagaimana dia bisa melakukan hal seperti itu?] [Berhenti bicara omong kosong! Barbie *sedang* diikuti orang mesum, dia hanya sedang tegang!] [Streamer sampah! Kamu sampah! Hentikan fitnah jahatmu!] [Barbie punya lebih dari tiga juta penggemar. Kenapa dia perlu datang ke live stream-mu untuk mencari perhatian?] Renee Jennings melihat komentar-komentar dari penggemar Barbie Lowe, seringai tipis muncul di bibirnya. “Aku juga mendengar beberapa hal lain dari Egg Roll. Anggap saja, Barbie Lowe tidak secantik atau sesuci yang kalian semua kira.” [Coba saja fitnah Kak Barbie kami lagi!] [Aku akan melapormu sampai kanalmu diblokir!] Renee Jennings tidak melanjutkan topik itu. “Baiklah, ayo berhenti membicarakannya. Kalau diteruskan, aku harus pergi menyikat gigi.” [Hahahaha, aku ngakak~ Host, caramu bicara sungguh luar biasa~] [Aku juga langsung paham. Host kami sangat berkelas.] [Orang yang begitu bermartabat~ Ayo kembali ke panggilan~] Renee Jennings tertawa. “Oke, aku membuka saluran lagi. Bersiaplah.” “Lazy Walt” berhasil terhubung ke live stream. Di layar terpisah, seorang gadis dengan masker wajah di wajahnya muncul. “AHH—” dia memekik, lalu menghindar dari pandangan kamera. “Aku tidak mengira benar-benar bisa tersambung!” Renee Jennings terkekeh. “Tidak apa-apa, kamu tidak perlu bersembunyi. Aku hanya melihat sekilas, tetapi kamu terlihat tetap cantik meski memakai masker.” “Ya Tuhan!” Lazy Walt berbisik kagum. “Host, kamu benar-benar tahu apa yang harus dikatakan!” Dia mengintip, memperlihatkan separuh wajahnya. “Tidak apa-apa kalau aku tetap di kamera seperti ini?” Renee Jennings mengangguk. “Tentu. Sesuai kenyamananmu.” Lazy Walt berkata dengan bersemangat, “Aku sangat beruntung!” Renee Jennings menghabiskan airnya, meletakkan cangkirnya, dan berkata sambil tersenyum, “Kalau begitu, kamu bisa mengganti namamu menjadi ‘Lucky King’.” “Oke!” Lazy Walt mengangguk dan berkata dengan sungguh-sungguh, “Aku akan mengganti nama panggilanku menjadi itu sebentar lagi.” “Jadi, apakah kamu punya hewan peliharaan?” tanya Renee Jennings. Lazy Walt melepas masker wajahnya. “Punya. Aku tinggal dengan sahabatku, dan kami masing-masing punya kucing silver-shaded.” Sambil berbicara, dia membalik kameranya dan mengarahkannya ke dua kucing yang berbaring di lantai. “Mereka saudara perempuan dari satu kelahiran.” [Mereka sangat lucu!] [Kak, kucing-kucing itu jelas tidak cocok untukmu. Aku punya solusi: kirim mereka ke rumahku. Aku akan merawat mereka.] Dua kucing silver-shaded itu berbaring saling membelakangi, dengan sengaja mengabaikan satu sama lain. Lazy Walt menunjuk ke yang sedikit lebih gemuk di sebelah kanan. “Yang di kanan milikku, namanya Piggy. Yang di kiri kucing sahabatku, Soy.” “Jadi, ada yang bisa kubantu?” tanya Renee Jennings sambil mengangkat alis. Lazy Walt berpikir sejenak, suaranya bernuansa bersemangat. “Sebenarnya, ada! Aku tidak tahu apa yang terjadi, tetapi akhir-akhir ini mereka sering bertengkar. Dulu hubungan mereka sangat baik—bahkan saat tidur mereka harus saling bersentuhan.” [Haha, dan sekarang mereka saling membelakangi, bahkan tidak bersentuhan.] [Mereka saling mendiamkan.] Renee Jennings tersenyum. “Kalau begitu, boleh aku bertanya kepada mereka?” “Oh, maukah kamu, Host? Itu bagus sekali.” Lazy Walt memanggil, “Piggy, kemari.” Kucing kecil gemuk di sebelah kanan mendengar panggilan itu, dan telinganya bergerak. Lazy Walt memanggil lagi, “Piggy, kemari.” Setelah memastikan bahwa itu memang pemiliknya yang memanggil, kucing gemuk Piggy akhirnya berdiri. Dia menoleh sekeliling sebelum melangkah ke arah Lazy Walt dengan gaya penuh percaya diri, lalu mendongak dan mengeong. “Meong~” “Anak baik, Piggy. Bagaimana kalau kamu mengobrol sedikit dengan streamer favoritku?” kata Lazy Walt sambil menggendong kucing itu dengan satu tangan. Kucing gemuk Piggy mulai mengeong dengan nada mengeluh. “Dasar bodoh. Kamu ‘menyukai’ semua orang, tetapi pernahkah kamu berpikir apakah ada yang menyukai *kamu*?” Lazy Walt, tentu saja, tidak tahu apa yang dikatakan kucingnya. Dia hanya melanjutkan, “Oh, jadi kamu setuju? Kalau begitu cepat sapa.” Kucing gemuk Piggy terus mengeong. “Kamu sedang apa? Dasar bodoh besar, kapan kamu akan sadar?” Renee Jennings terkekeh. “Ha...” Lazy Walt berkedip, bingung. “Host, apa yang kamu tertawakan? Ngomong-ngomong, apakah kamu bisa memahami apa yang dikatakan Piggy? Aku selalu merasa dia sedang berbicara kepadaku, tetapi aku tidak bisa memahami satu kata pun.” Kucing gemuk Piggy: “Aku mengatakan kamu bodoh, tentu saja. Kamu saja tidak bisa memahamiku, jadi bagaimana mungkin orang lain bisa memahami?” “Kamu salah soal itu,” kata Renee Jennings sambil menyeringai. “Aku memahaminya dengan sempurna.” Mendengar ini, mata kucing gemuk Piggy langsung membelalak. Ekspresinya benar-benar kebingungan. “Hah?” “Jadi kenapa kamu memanggil pemilikmu bodoh besar?” tanya Renee Jennings sambil mengangkat alis. “Apa?” Lazy Walt tampak benar-benar takjub. “Piggy memanggilku bodoh besar?”
Bab 227: Mereka Selalu Bertengkar
When Barbie Lowe suddenly left the stream, leaving the audience bewildered, her fans were spamming the live comments to attack Renee Jennings.
[What kind of trash streamer is this?]
[What gives you the right to talk to Barbie like that? Apologize to Barbie!]
[Barbie is being stalked by a pervert and came to you for help. What’s with your attitude?]
[This streamer must be going after Barbie just because she’s prettier.]
[This damn streamer is all about tearing down other women while sucking up to men. How can so many people watch her? Get better taste, people.]
Many viewers in the stream were loyal fans of Renee Jennings. Seeing these comments, they immediately started typing to argue back.
[Renee Jennings is the only person I follow!]
[I’ve been watching for a long time, and the host is always polite to everyone. Barbie Lowe definitely isn’t telling the truth.]
[Are you kidding? Barbie Lowe is prettier than Renee Jennings? She wears such heavy makeup, are you sure about that?]
[I’ve stumbled across Barbie Lowe’s stream before. Now *she’s* the one who panders to men, always being subtly suggestive.]
Seeing the comments erupt into a full-blown argument, Renee Jennings’s brow slowly furrowed.
She raised her voice. "Everyone, please stop arguing with Barbie Lowe’s fans. It’s not worth your energy."
[I’m so pissed off. They’re completely unreasonable.]
[Host, what was Barbie Lowe’s plan? Just tell us!]
[Trash streamer! Don’t you dare slander our big sister Barbie!]
[Host, maybe you should learn to hold your tongue.]
Renee Jennings hadn’t originally planned on exposing Barbie Lowe. But the way Barbie had acted before leaving, combined with her fans’ attitude, made Renee feel she couldn’t just let the matter drop.
"Well, since you’re all going to be like that, I feel like I’d be letting down the people who are defending me if I didn’t say something."
[Don’t be afraid to say it, Host~ We all support you~]
[Don’t worry, we don’t agree with a single thing Barbie Lowe’s fans are saying!]
Seeing the supportive comments, Renee Jennings felt a warmth spread through her chest. The corners of her lips lifted slightly as she explained, "Barbie Lowe isn’t being stalked by a pervert, her cat, Egg Roll, wasn’t crying at something under the bed, and her underwear didn’t just vanish for no reason."
"When we were connected just now, Egg Roll was actually talking the whole time."
"Did any of you notice? During the call, I asked Barbie Lowe if she wanted me to ask Egg Roll about it, but she just ignored me and kept talking."
[I remember that! I was even complaining to my partner about her ignoring you!]
[I remember too. I just thought she was too nervous and forgot to answer you.]
"No," Renee Jennings said softly. "She just wanted to connect to get attention, to use my stream to drive traffic to her own channel. She didn’t actually want my help. She thought that if she stopped me from talking to her cat, I wouldn’t find out the truth."
[What? How could she do something like that?]
[Stop spewing nonsense! Barbie *is* being stalked by a pervert, she’s just on edge!]
[Trash streamer! You’re trash! Stop your malicious slander!]
[Barbie has over three million fans. Why would she need to come to your stream for clout?]
Renee Jennings looked at the comments from Barbie Lowe’s fans, a smirk playing on her lips. "I heard some other things from Egg Roll, too. Let’s just say, Barbie Lowe isn’t as beautiful or innocent as you all think."
[Just you try and slander our big sister Barbie again!]
[I’m going to report you until your channel gets banned!]
Renee Jennings didn’t continue with the topic. "Alright, let’s stop talking about her. Any more of this and I’ll need to go brush my teeth."
[Hahahaha, I’m dying~ Host, you’ve got such a way with words~]
[I got it in a second, too. Our host is so classy.]
[Such a dignified person~ Let’s get back to the calls~]
Renee Jennings laughed. "Okay, I’m opening up the line again. Get ready."
"Lazy Walt" successfully connected to the stream. On the split screen, a girl with a sheet mask on her face appeared.
"AHH—" she shrieked, then ducked out of the camera’s view. "I didn’t think I’d actually get through!"
Renee Jennings chuckled. "It’s okay, you don’t have to hide. I only saw a glimpse, but you look great even with the mask on."
"Oh my god!" Lazy Walt whispered in amazement. "Host, you really know just what to say!"
She peeked out, revealing half of her face. "Is it okay if I stay on camera like this?"
Renee Jennings nodded. "Of course. Whatever you’re comfortable with."
Lazy Walt said excitedly, "I’m so lucky!"
Renee Jennings finished her water, set down her mug, and said with a smile, "In that case, you could change your name to ’Lucky King’."
"Okay!" Lazy Walt nodded and said earnestly, "I’ll change my nickname to that in a little bit."
"So, do you have any pets?" Renee Jennings asked.
Lazy Walt took the sheet mask off her face. "I do. I live with my best friend, and we each have a silver-shaded cat."
As she spoke, she flipped her camera around and aimed it at two cats lying on the floor. "They’re sisters from the same litter."
[They’re so cute!]
[Sis, those cats are clearly not right for you. I have a solution: send them to my house. I’ll take care of them.]
The two silver-shaded cats were lying back-to-back, pointedly ignoring one another.
Lazy Walt pointed to the slightly chubbier one on the right. "The one on the right is mine, her name is Piggy. The one on the left is my best friend’s cat, Soy."
"So, what can I help you with?" Renee Jennings asked, raising an eyebrow.
Lazy Walt thought for a moment, her voice tinged with excitement. "Actually, yes! I don’t know what’s going on, but they’ve been fighting a lot lately. They used to have such a great relationship—they even had to be touching when they slept."
[Haha, and now they’re back-to-back, not even touching.]
[They’re giving each other the silent treatment.]
Renee Jennings smiled. "Shall I ask them, then?"
"Oh, would you, Host? That’d be great." Lazy Walt called out, "Piggy, come over here."
The chubby little cat on the right heard the call, and its ears twitched.
Lazy Walt called again, "Piggy, come here."
Confirming that it was her owner calling, the chubby cat Piggy finally stood up. She glanced around before striding over to Lazy Walt with a confident gait, then looked up and meowed. "Meow~"
"Good girl, Piggy. How about you have a little chat with my favorite streamer?" Lazy Walt said, scooping the cat into her arms with one hand.
The chubby cat Piggy began to meow complainingly. "You fool. You ’like’ everyone, but have you ever stopped to think if anyone likes *you*?"
Lazy Walt, of course, had no idea what her cat was saying. She just went on, "Oh, so you agree? Then hurry up and say hello."
The chubby cat Piggy continued to meow. "What are you doing? You big fool, when are you going to get a clue?"
Renee Jennings let out a chuckle. "Ha..."
Lazy Walt blinked, confused. "Host, what are you laughing about? By the way, can you understand what Piggy’s saying? I always get the feeling she’s talking to me, but I can’t understand a single word."
Chubby cat Piggy: "I’m saying you’re a fool, of course. You can’t even understand me, so how could anyone else possibly understand?"
"You’re wrong about that," Renee Jennings said with a grin. "I understood her perfectly."
Hearing this, the chubby cat Piggy’s eyes instantly went wide as saucers. Her expression was one of pure bewilderment. "Huh?"
"So why did you call your owner a big fool?" Renee Jennings asked, raising an eyebrow.
"What?" Lazy Walt looked completely astonished. "Piggy called me a big fool?"
