A Lullaby

Tang Qiao wasn't driven by profit; her primary motivation was a thirst for knowledge. She chose live-streaming for its convenience, interactive nature, and ease of communication. It spared her the time-consuming task of video editing, making it a straightforward and efficient choice.

"There are many factors that induce insomnia, mainly divided into..." In her live stream, Tang Qiao's voice resonated with clarity and melodiousness. She enunciated each word with precision and seriousness as she delved into the topic at hand.

The room's soundproofing left much to be desired. Jiang You listened to Tang Qiao's voice from the living room. In the process, he brushed his fingertips against the warm porcelain bowl of food. The warmth made him retract his hand.

Here was Tang Qiao—considerate, radiant, and warm. She willingly lent her aid to someone like him, providing care without charge. She served as a beacon of light in his dark world, a stark contrast to his own perceived selfishness and innate coldness.

In the live broadcast room.

The initial viewer paused briefly before resuming his barrage of questions. "Where is the host from? How old are you? Your voice sounds quite youthful. Why did you choose to be a Knowledge Streamer?"

The world of live-streaming offered numerous categories, including beauty, food, travel, and talent, all of which were more popular than knowledge streaming.

As Tang Qiao concluded her explanation of lifestyle-induced insomnia, she noticed the question in the public chat. She responded, "I'm here to share knowledge and assist those in need. Knowledge streamers are valuable."

This statement prompted a flurry of responses from the first viewer, but before he could express his praise, a few newcomers entered the live stream room.

"I just joined the live stream, and this is the first thing I hear. Hahaha, I'm laughing so hard. Knowledge streamers are valuable, but not when they spread misinformation like you!"

"That's right! It's one thing to discuss insomnia, but why claim that lullabies can effectively treat it? Isn't that misleading?"

"Indeed! As we all know, insomnia is primarily treated with medication. Sound therapy exists, but its effectiveness is limited. Since you're a Knowledge Streamer, it's better to provide realistic information rather than sensationalize."

The three critics chimed in together.

Tang Qiao was undeterred and offered a serious clarification, saying, "Insomnia has a significant impact on one's health, and I stand by my statement. As for the lullabies, if you have any doubts, please wait until the end of the live stream, when I'll play one lullaby."

"Alright, we'll wait!"

"We're looking forward to it!"

"Let's see if the streamer can prove us wrong!"

Perhaps Tang Qiao's live stream content was too controversial, but in the next ten minutes, more and more viewers joined the live stream. The viewer count surpassed 300. For a newcomer in the knowledge streaming niche, this was a promising achievement, even though it paled in comparison to popular streamers with tens of thousands of viewers. Still, Tang Qiao faced skepticism from her audience.

"Is this streamer trying to entertain us with a lullaby? I can't stop laughing. Does this streamer live in a fairy tale?"

"I'm just here for a good laugh too. I've been struggling with insomnia for ages. Medication and voice therapy haven't worked for me. I can bet this streamer is a fraud!"

Amidst the barrage of criticism, there were also voices of support.

"Believe it or not, this streamer's explanation of insomnia causes is quite thorough."

"The explanation is convincing and easy to grasp."

Unfortunately, these positive comments got drowned out by the torrent of insults and went unnoticed.

It was at this moment that Xu Guangyi entered the live stream room. In his forties, with a successful career and a net worth in the hundreds of millions, he rarely had the time for live streams. However, today, while going through an internal review at work, he logged into his company account and spotted Tang Qiao's live stream.

Xu Guangyi didn't suffer from insomnia himself, but his mother had been plagued by it for a long time. He had taken her to countless doctors and tried various medications, all with minimal results. Over the past few days, he had been deeply concerned about her insomnia. When he stumbled upon Tang Qiao's live stream, he decided to give it a shot. Coincidentally, Tang Qiao had just finished her explanation and was about to play a lullaby.

At this moment, the live stream's public chat was filled with people eagerly anticipating Tang Qiao's failure.

Xu Guangyi felt a tinge of disappointment and shook his head, chiding himself for his desperation. What can a rookie host like her accomplish? She is probably just trying to gain popularity with sensational claims.

Just as Xu Guangyi was about to exit the live stream, Tang Qiao said, "Hold on a moment, I'll bring the instrument."

The viewers in the live stream room were puzzled. "Bringing an instrument?"

Xu Guangyi was about to leave the live stream room but stopped. Tang Qiao's statement had piqued his curiosity. While the rest of the audience wondered, a pair of fair hands dragged a small wooden frame into the scene, slowly moving toward the camera.
