”Snowy, when is the next live broadcast?”

”Snowy, it's been a long time since you broadcasted, what are you doing?”

”Thousands of people are begging Snowy to come on live!”

”Is Snowy sick? Did she get heatstroke?”

Snowy looked at her Weibo's messages and private messages and scratched her hair in annoyance, looking sadly at the bright sun outside the window as if she felt the hot flashes and summer heat outside.

As the fans have said, she hadn't done a live broadcast for a long time mainly because of a worm disaster some time ago. Her mother was so scared that she issued an ultimatum. She was forbidden to take a step out of the house, or her mother would abandon her. Although Snowy herself usually looked like a boy, she was afraid of those caterpillars. She had also heard that many caterpillars were poisonous. Once they fell on the body, they would sting and cause a rash to be formed that may even have been red and swollen. Thus, she temporarily took her mind off on going to the outdoor to live broadcast, since there was nothing to broadcast live anyway. Many shops were closed, so wasn't her only option left to broadcast which caterpillar can be eaten?

She broadcasted live for fun and out of loneliness, but not to be second only to Bear Grylls.

Her mother lifted her ban after the insect disaster subsided, but the coastal city in summer was too sultry and humid, and it often rained heavily. She really didn't want to leave the air-conditioned room, and she couldn't live stream like those that only played games. Although many fans said that any form of live streaming was okay, she felt so apologetic to the audience as she didn't know what to say. Plus, she had to prevent her mother from suddenly entering her room whilst she was broadcasting.

Like all humans who were constantly dragged on by inertia, she became too lazy to leave the house. The most she was willing to do was taking Snowball out for a walk after breakfast and in the evenings.

Faced with the fans' concerns, she didn't know what to do. She couldn't tell them that she was lazy and had been hiding in the house, right?

”Snowy! Come down and eat some fruit!” shouted her mom from downstairs.

”Coming!”

She responded lazily, pulling on her slippers and went down the stairs.

To her surprise, her father was also there. She did not know when he returned, but he was sitting on the sofa and reading the newspaper.

A salad bowl full of various fruits was on the dining table, and her mother used her mouth to motion for her to sit down and eat.

A furry Snowball laid on the wooden floor on its side to cool down. When it heard Snowy, it just looked up before laying back down and narrowing its eyes.

Snowy felt that she was now like this salty cat.

”Be honest; how have you been lately? Have you changed your mind?” Father looked over the top of the newspaper and glanced at her.

”It's too hot, I'm too lazy to go out,” Snowy muttered.

Her father put down the newspaper and said solemnly, ”Didn't you say that you like live broadcasting and wanted to pursue it as a career? Is this your three-minute passion for your career?”

He pointed out the window, where gardeners were mowing the lawn outside with their uniforms soaked in sweat.

”Everyone knows that the weather is hot, but even if the weather is ten degrees hotter, don't they still have to work to support their families?” He began his daily sermon. ”Regardless of what career you choose, you must persevere with your choice. If you cannot do that, accept it and then move on as soon as possible ... ”

”Ah! You're eating, can you talk less when eating?” Mom slaps the table angrily. ”This is not your company, why are you struggling?”

Snowy ate the fruits silently and rarely spoke back.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.
