While picking, Shen Yao suddenly remembered that her video account hadn't been updated in a long time.
Ever since the entire village was taken over by the military, Shen Yao hadn't uploaded any more videos online, fearing she might leak classified information.
She looked around and, seeing no major issues with live streaming there, she casually took out her phone.
Before starting the broadcast, she habitually edited a video and posted it, then added a caption.
#Babies, long time no see! To make up for it, I'll be going live at 12 o'clock today and will be giving away fruit through a lucky draw#
The accompanying video showed oranges covering the hillsides and people picking fruit.
As soon as Shen Yao posted the video, her fans swarmed in.
"Oh my gosh, I thought I was seeing things, I almost scrolled past. The missing person has finally returned."
"Ahhh, Grandma, the blogger you follow finally posted a video!"
"A full half-year, a full half-year! Can you imagine how I've survived these past six months? I've memorized all your videos."
"Oh my god, so many fruits! They've grown so well, I really want to eat them!"
"What did I just see? What did I just see? Did YaoYao say she's going live today? I'm not mistaken, am I!"
"The one upstairs, I saw it too. YaoYao also said she'll be giving away fruit. I wonder if I'll win."
"As an unlucky person, these things have nothing to do with me."
...
Before Shen Yao could even turn off her phone, a flood of messages popped up. Upon opening them, she found they were all likes, shares, and comments.
Shen Yao set her phone to silent. Yes, it was indeed much quieter.
Since they had woken up quite early, there was still an hour until noon.
This batch of fruits had already been pre-ordered by Zhou Yanan from the Zhou family at a very high price, even though they were in-season fruits.
Zhou Yanan had sent a vehicle to wait early. As soon as they picked and harvested the fruits and transported them down the mountain, the workers at the foot of the mountain would load them directly onto trucks and transport them away.
At precisely 12 o'clock.
Shen Yao turned on her phone, ignored the 99+ messages, and directly opened her homepage to start the live stream.
Even before the stream officially began, a large number of fans were already waiting. As soon as she started, they flooded into the live broadcast room.
In an instant, there were 300,000 fans online.
The moment the live stream started, Shen Yao's beautiful face appeared on screen as usual.
"Hi everyone, welcome to YaoYao's live broadcast room. It's great to see you all again."
Shen Yao smiled at the camera and greeted the fans in the broadcast room.
"Here, here, I finally see sister!"
"Even though I've seen YaoYao's face reveal videos many times, I thought I was immune to YaoYao's stunning beauty, but I underestimated it."
"Hiss hiss, to spend a day immersed in sister's stunning beauty!"
"You little heartless one, do you know how much I've missed you?"
"One day apart feels like three autumns. YaoYao, we haven't seen each other for centuries. Do you still remember Xia Yuhe who lies waiting in your fan list?"
"I heard the big blogger is giving away prizes today. Is this the place?"
"So, since the host is so beautiful, why doesn't she go into acting?!"
...
Shen Yao looked at the rapidly scrolling bullet comments and managed to pick out some information.
"As everyone knows, YaoYao was pregnant. During the late stages of pregnancy and right after the babies were born, I didn't have the time to make videos for you all. I apologize sincerely."
Shen Yao explained to her fans the reason for not updating her videos recently. Of course, the real reason couldn't be told to them.
As expected, as soon as Shen Yao said this, her fans flooded the screen with messages of understanding.
"That's true, the late stage of pregnancy is very tiring. It's indeed unrealistic to climb up and down to make videos for us. However, listening to YaoYao, it seems the baby has already been born?"
"The baby is born? Can we see them? Can we see them?"
"The one upstairs, the host is live on the mountain right now. If you think about it, the baby should only be a month or two old. They probably wouldn't bring them to the mountain."
"The host is so beautiful, her baby's looks must be incredibly stunning!"
"Am I the only one who noticed the host's wording? Babies? And more than one!"
"Oh my god, oh my god, you found the hidden clue!"
"Did the host give birth to twins? Oh my god, tell me, how did you recover so quickly!"
"Please share your recovery secrets!"
...
Shen Yao smiled with satisfaction as her fans noticed the implied meaning in her words.
"That's right, congratulations on guessing correctly. YaoYao is pregnant with twins, and they are a boy and a girl! Also, they are here today, and YaoYao will show you them later. For now, YaoYao will take you to see the orchard."
As soon as Shen Yao said this, the fans in the live broadcast room erupted, all asking to see the little ones first before the orchard.
However, Shen Yao ignored them and directly led the netizens in the live stream through the orchard with her phone.
"Everyone, look, this is the new variety we planted this year, the Premium Bapa Citrus. Is it big enough? It's a new variety."
Shen Yao held up a Bapa Citrus still on the tree, which was two sizes larger than her hand.
"This is the Sugar Orange, our local specialty. Don't be fooled by its plain appearance, it's very sweet and has a soft, tender, and juicy texture. You'll fall in love with it after one bite."
After speaking, Shen Yao directly picked one, peeled it, and put it in her mouth.
This Sugar Orange was a local variety where the flesh and peel were almost separated. With a gentle peel, the skin and flesh could be easily separated.
As for why she could peel and eat an orange? It was all thanks to Mo Chen, her human stand.
Shen Yao, still not satisfied after eating one, immediately picked two more and devoured them quickly.
Watching the netizens in the live broadcast room wailing.
"Yes, it's just too fragrant, I really want to eat it too."
"I have to say, the host's oranges are so considerate. Why are they so easy to peel? Why haven't I discovered such a variety!"
"Please, have pity on this child, the child loves Sugar Oranges the most!"
"YaoYao, I have a friend who has an incurable disease and wants to eat a Sugar Orange before he passes away. Please help him fulfill this last wish."
"Good heavens, good heavens, I'm calling out good heavens, this is creating a friend out of thin air!"
"YaoYao, I also have a friend..."
Shen Yao was focused on devouring the Sugar Oranges and didn't have time to look at the bullet comments.
On the contrary, Mo Chen, the human stand, saw them and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
This chuckle was heard by the sharp-eared friends, and a new wave of bullet comments immediately followed.
