Not because of anything else, but because Young Master Gu Yu had already rationalized it in his own mind. After all, hosting a live stream didn't require much effort on his part, and he could sit back and enjoy the online drama while sipping tea. From his perspective, he was clearly getting the better end of the deal. Moreover, this was the first time Yaoyao had shown such enthusiasm. As her older brother, no matter what, he had to support her. "So, let's get started!" Gu Yu, always considerate, had prepared a row of Want Want milk boxes for Yaoyao in case she got thirsty. He even thoughtfully inserted straws into them. "Mm-hmm." Yaoyao happily took a big sip and obediently nodded. In her hands, she held the merit reward granted by Heaven and Earth. Gu Yu had long since become an efficient assistant for the live stream. With practiced ease, he launched the broadcast and patiently waited a few minutes for the viewership to build up. The reason for this delay was simple: it allowed the lottery to reach a wider audience, thereby helping those truly in need. This was Yaoyao's original reasoning, and Gu Yu found it entirely logical. It had since become a tradition for their live streams. And as expected, yesterday's buzz hadn't died down yet. When today's stream began, the audience was momentarily stunned before erupting into excitement. [AAAAH! Young Master, how could you not give us advance notice about such a big event?!] [Barely made it in time! Please keep this frequency up—my kid loves watching!] Word spread quickly, and within moments, the live stream surged to over 600,000 viewers. Seeing that the timing was right, Gu Yu leisurely posted the lottery link. The chat immediately exploded with the usual antics: viewers advising others not to click carelessly while frantically participating themselves. Classic hypocrisy at its finest! Amidst the fierce competition, the first lucky participant emerged—a boy with naturally curly blond hair and a pair of striking, puppy-like eyes that exuded charm, making him instantly likable. [Wow, this little bro is so handsome!] [But thinking about the ridiculous accidents that might happen soon... I suddenly feel sorry for him.] [Those with foresight upstairs are correct! Now, let the master reveal the truth, hahaha!] People were like this—they loved spectating, especially when it involved someone else's misfortune. "Little bro, do you want me to read your fortune or someone else's? If it's someone else's, remember to send a photo of them to my brother's backend." At this moment, Yaoyao set aside her Want Want milk, revealing adorable dimples as she earnestly addressed the lucky participant. The participant was clearly familiar with the reputation of the live stream and its unspoken rule: those chosen by the lottery were often unlucky. Nevertheless, he remained resolute. Because lately, he'd been plagued by a question that troubled him deeply. If he hadn't been selected today, he probably would've gone to a temple to seek answers. Taking a deep breath to steady his nerves, the participant slowly spoke: "I'm not asking about myself. I want to know about my sister." "But before we begin," he hesitated, his puppy-dog eyes flickering nervously, "can I ask you a question first?" He knew full well that this was somewhat of a breach of protocol—after all, the master only promised fortune-telling through the lottery, not answering extra questions. But Yaoyao, ever generous, simply nodded. "Sure, go ahead!" Hearing this, the participant's face lit up with relief. Then, without hesitation, he voiced his concern: "It's like this, Master. I want to know why someone who was perfectly normal suddenly undergoes a drastic personality change—even their habits shift completely. They become like a completely different person. What could cause something like that?" As he spoke, vivid memories flashed through his mind. His expression grew increasingly troubled, tinged with a growing sense of unease—and perhaps even fear. Yaoyao, upon hearing his description, instinctively froze. She studied his features closely before asking in a crisp voice: "Little bro, the person you're talking about—is it your sister?" "Yes," the participant admitted without hesitation. After all, he planned to elaborate anyway, so there was no point in hiding it. However, he struggled to describe the situation properly. To him, everything about his sister seemed off—but his family dismissed it as typical behavior caused by pregnancy. Yet, he didn't buy it. Sure, pregnancy could affect emotions and mood swings, but how could it possibly alter deeply ingrained habits? It just didn't make sense! What really sparked his suspicion was during his sister's visit home last month. They had enjoyed a warm family reunion dinner together. Since she was pregnant, the task of cleaning up naturally fell to him. Accustomed to this chore, he didn't complain and efficiently began tidying up. After bustling around for a few minutes, just as he was about to start washing dishes, he realized he had left the dishcloth on the dining table. Without it, he couldn't proceed. With no other choice, he turned back to retrieve it. But the moment he stepped into the living room, he froze. There sat his sister on the couch, one hand absentmindedly resting on her belly while the other lay casually at her side. She lounged comfortably with her legs crossed, engrossed in a palace intrigue drama playing on TV. This sight baffled him. His sister had always detested palace intrigue shows. Even more importantly, she was a surgeon at a top-tier hospital and strongly opposed crossing one's legs. She often warned that it could lead to spinal curvature, uneven leg lengths, and even increase the risk of stroke. Whenever their father crossed his legs at home, she'd lecture him endlessly. And yet... here she was, doing exactly that! From that moment on, he began noticing more peculiarities in his sister's behavior. The list of abnormalities grew longer with each passing day. "Little bro, do you have any photos? Two, preferably—one from before and one after the changes." By now, Yaoyao already had a theory in mind. However, she refrained from jumping to conclusions and decided to verify further. "Yes, yes, I'll send them right away!" Eagerly flipping through his photo album, the participant quickly found two pictures and sent them over. The first was a photo of his sister before her marriage, while the second was one he had saved from her husband's social media. It wasn't snooping—he had no choice. Ever since noticing his sister's odd behavior, he realized she had developed an aversion to being photographed. Anytime he raised his phone to take a picture, she would fly into a rage. Once, she even smashed his phone. That's why his current device had both its inner and outer screens replaced. When Yaoyao received the photos, she confirmed her suspicions at a glance. Staring intently at the participant, she carefully delivered her verdict before he could grow too uneasy: "You're absolutely right—it's not your sister." Her decisive conclusion left the participant stunned.
