On that night, moonlight illuminated the upscale apartment, casting a milky white glow inside.
Enchanting Little Witch slowly opened his eyes, feeling a hollow emptiness in his abdomen.
The sensation of hunger prevented him from falling asleep.
His heart ached faintly.
He gently nudged Brother An beside him.
"Brother An, Brother An."
"Hmm... Huh? What's wrong?" Brother An slowly opened his eyes.
"Brother An, I'm starving and my heart feels a little uncomfortable. Can you get me something to eat?"
Brother An looked impatient. "What time is it? Why do you want to eat now? There's a glucose syrup by the bedside. Have a sip and go to sleep quickly. We have to wake up early tomorrow for the live stream."
"Brother An, my heart really isn't feeling well. Go get me something to eat. Just some porridge will do."
"Geez, so annoying. Sleep. Don't bother me. If you want to eat, go cook it yourself!" As he spoke, he pulled the blanket over his head.
Enchanting Little Witch shook him a few more times, but unfortunately, he didn't respond.
In the end, with a helpless expression, Enchanting Little Witch covered his chest and slowly got out of bed, enduring the hunger.
However, he underestimated his current condition.
Just as he walked out of the bedroom and before he reached the kitchen, he fell to the ground with a thud.
As for Brother An, he only rolled over when he heard the sound and continued snoring.
...
The next day, the funeral shop was still quiet and empty.
Li Yidao carried out his daily filming routine as usual.
After posting what he considered to be his most handsome video, he began to enjoy his leisurely life, sipping tea and browsing his phone.
Li Yinuo sat not far away, equally bored, scrolling through her phone.
However, the images on their phones were completely different.
One endured the torment of yoga pants, while the other was filled with images of muscular fitness enthusiasts.
"I'm telling you, Li Yinuo, stop looking at those muscleheads pumped up with protein powder. Instead, spend some time promoting yourself on the forums." Li Yidao said.
Li Yinuo glanced at her brother and then swiped her finger to the next video.
It was still a gym, but it was a gym beauty wearing yoga pants.
Li Yidao did not say anything else. He stood behind his sister and watched with great interest.
As he watched, he couldn't help but wonder why the platform hadn't recommended him videos like this before.
He secretly noted down the user's ID and planned to search for it on his own phone later.
...
At this moment, Li Yidao was about to return to his recliner.
"Ding~"
He noticed that Li Yinuo's phone and his phone rang at the same time.
He subconsciously picked up his phone and took a look. It was a platform pop-up.
"Announcement: Fitness streamer Enchanting Little Witch passed away last night due to a sudden heart attack."
Upon seeing this headline, Li Yidao paused for a moment, then sighed and shook his head.
The 99% probability of death was no joke. The system was indeed accurate.
It seemed that he did not grasp the last chance of survival.
He failed to escape the reaping scythe of the Grim Reaper.
...
As this news was spread, some of the viewers who had followed the Enchanting Little Witch were all shocked!
"The little witch is dead? F*ck! I bought yoga pants and was waiting for the morning fitness live stream!"
"Sudden heart attack? Little Witch has always been very healthy! Life is unpredictable."
"I heard from my third uncle's sister-in-law's second husband's lover that Little Witch had a severe diet, which caused his health to deteriorate!"
"Ah, it's too scary. It scared me so much that I immediately ate three bowls of rice!"
"Hey. How many tons are you, upstairs? Wanna chat?"
"Upstairs, you have peculiar tastes. I want to say... take me too!"
"By the way... do you guys remember the pinned message under Little Witch's video yesterday? That guy was a bit weird."
"You mean the advertisement posted by Funeral Director Brother Yidao? Now that you mention it, I feel a chill running through my body."
"What Funeral Director Brother Yidao? What are you guys talking about?"
"Go and check the comments under Little Witch's fitness tutorial video from yesterday. Funeral Director Brother Yidao's early bird discount!"
"D*mn it! I found it! This is incredible! Is it some kind of grand prophecy?"
"Come on. Don't exaggerate. This guy was just promoting himself and happened to encounter Little Witch's misfortune."
"But... I just checked that Brother Yidao's ID, and he only followed Little Witch. I didn't see this advertising message under any other videos..."
"Is it really that mysterious? D*mn it! I have to go and see!"
"I'm coming too!"
"..."
At this moment, Li Yidao was still unaware that he had gained attention from a bunch of netizens.
Instead, he looked at the obituary of Enchanting Little Witch with a face full of regret.
The primary cause of death was excessive fasting.
He woke up in the middle of the night to get something to eat, but his heart stopped abruptly.
When his boyfriend discovered it the next morning, he was already lifeless.
The detailed cause of death was waiting to be revealed by forensic examination.
"Poor child..."
...
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
While lamenting inwardly, Li Yidao suddenly felt his phone continuously vibrating with notifications.
He instinctively opened it to check.
The "New Friends" section showed "99+".
The recent vibrations were notifications of people following him.
He subconsciously opened it to take a look.
[Me Crazy Me Night has followed you.]
[Let's All Be Good has followed you.]
[sadasda has followed you.]
[sabakada has followed you.]
...
Li Yidao realized that his once unknown account had gained the attention of thousands of people.
Moreover, the number of followers was still increasing.
At the current rate, it was certain that he would soon have tens of thousands of followers.
"Why did so many people suddenly start following me? Could it be that the platform promoted my handsome video from this morning?"
He then opened the video he had posted earlier.
Good heavens!
As expected!
The comments section had gone from zero to hundreds!
"I found it. It's this Brother Dao!"
"It's the promotion message Brother Dao posted in Little Witch's video!"
"Brother Dao really only followed Little Witch!"
"The divine prophet Brother Dao. I'm following!"
"I've followed Brother Yidao! Please spare me a life!"
"@Lickdog Foolish Qiang, Ah Qiang, I heard the service here is good. I'll book the service for you after you're gone, brother."
"Are you serious, upstairs? Are you helping your brother make a discounted reservation in advance?"
"Lickdog Foolish Qiang: F*ck off! I just turned eighteen today!"
"Being eighteen doesn't exempt you from getting into accidents. No problem with early reservations."
"+1!"
"+2!"
"+10086!"
...
Looking at these comments, Li Yidao understood.
These people started following him after seeing the news of Enchanting Little Witch's death.
Whether out of curiosity or some other thoughts, it didn't matter.
In any case, Li Yidao knew one thing.
He became popular...
Although it wasn't due to his most confident looks, he became popular after all...
