The moment Luo Yu turned his back to the phone holder, he quickly pulled a sleep tablet from his pocket and swallowed it.
Walking to the edge of the solid wood bed, about a meter away from the desk, he lifted his small legs and nimbly slipped under the covers, lying on his side in the direction of the live stream camera.
He paid no more attention to the activity in the live stream. He extended one arm out from the black lace-trimmed duvet, grabbed the other pillow on the double bed, and hugged it tightly. Surrounded by the faint scent of orange from the candle, he happily closed his eyes.
Today, he decided to truly sleep during the live stream.
Wherever he slept, Luo Yu felt uneasy. Wen Li and the property management of the community both had keys to the apartment. If they came knocking for some reason, or if his roommate Qin Li or a neighbor knocked and he didn’t open the door in time, he wouldn’t be able to explain himself.
Only the live stream performance could serve as a life-saving excuse.
Three minutes later.

Five minutes later.

Ten minutes later.
[Viewer Count: 5024!]
Luo Yu, who was asleep, had no idea that since he lay down, the live stream had exploded!
The viewers in the original live stream had completely lost their minds:
[What did I just see? A bed? My wife actually went to sleep on the bed? How exciting!]
[My face is flushed, heart racing; luckily, I didn’t have time to exit the live stream earlier.]
[First time seeing such a big bed; it could fit a lot of people…]
[The bed is my XP! Being in bed is the best! No other position compares.]
[Whose pants are fastened? Don’t trip me.]
But viewers who clicked on the thumbnail of the live stream in the university student channel were less friendly:
[What’s going on here? Isn’t the university student channel for sharing knowledge? Why is there a borderline streamer?]
[I can’t believe what I’m seeing; a bed in a live stream! How is this not banned?]
[Where’s the borderline? Only those with dirty minds see dirt in everything. The host is clearly demonstrating the original use of the bed from decades ago, when beds were just for sleeping, unlike now, when they can only be used for something suggestive.]
[Really funny, so the people upstairs came to this live stream to learn history?]
[Reported! This streamer is leading elementary school students astray.]
[??? Are you crazy? If you don’t want to watch, just leave. Why report?]
[Exactly, the streamer is just under a blanket sleeping, not doing anything on the bed, so what’s the reason to report?]
Soon, the review department of the “Starry Sky” platform received reports about Luo Yu’s borderline live stream!
The assigned reviewer quickly rushed into Luo Yu’s live stream to investigate!
Looking at the unconscious streamer on the bed, the reviewer fell into deep thought.
A bed.
In today’s world, once the bed lost its original function for sleeping, it had completely degenerated into—
A luxury item for doing something intimate, something lewd.
Although humans still enjoy lying down comfortably, a set of sofas or a massage chair can easily meet that need.
There’s really no need to spend a high price on such a large bed!
Unless it’s for rich people to do…
In other words, there isn’t a proper bed in this world, only beds for doing intimate things!
So much so that when people in this era talk about beds, their faces flush with embarrassment!
If it were another streamer posing seductively on the bed, the reviewer would have had no choice but to ban them!
However, this is a history streamer.
The streamer himself has also said he is performing sleep.
The reviewer carefully checked the data and confirmed that historically, the primary function of the bed was indeed for sleeping and that it was a common piece of furniture in every household. In the past, everyone would lie in bed to sleep just like the streamer is now.
This makes it a bit tricky.
It’s similar to how something like a small whip is considered an intimate item.
But if the history streamer held a small whip and mimicked ancient people training monkeys on the street, there would be no reason to ban him either.
The reviewer suddenly had an epiphany!
He logically dismissed the report.
But he didn’t leave the live stream.
The way this streamer performed sleeping was so cute.
The initial few viewers who had madly reported him saw that the reviewer was clearly still in the live stream yet hadn’t banned him, so they cursed the platform and left.
[Viewer Count: 10032]
More and more people were drawn into the live stream by that big bed.
In the footage, the heavy curtains in the bedroom were pulled tight with not a sliver of light showing through, revealing a reassuringly dark silence.
The room was silent to the point that one could faintly hear the streamer’s soft breathing while he slept.
Luo Yu kept his eyes tightly closed, his small face nestled in the soft pillow. Under the dim light at the head of the bed, his long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his fair eye sockets.
With a slightly raised chin, a long neck was revealed, and the collar of his pure cotton shirt hung naturally downward, with delicate collarbones glimmering just barely visible.
[Did people really sleep like this back in the day?]
[The streamer is from the history department of A University, specifically studying sleep. I saw he even has a professor’s recommendation on his profile; he should be quite professional.]
[But the streamer’s sleeping posture is different from those in “How Much Do You Know About Sleeping Pills”?]
“How Much Do You Know About Sleeping Pills?” is a video that every child must watch and be tested on starting from preschool, and those who fail cannot enter elementary school.
It primarily discusses the dangers of sleeping and the necessity of taking sleeping pills, among other things.
[Are you talking about those images at the very start of the “How Much Do You Know” video, where the man is sprawled out like a pig and the woman has her hair all over her face?]
[…I remember why I’ve always hated sleeping; it’s all because of that video making it seem so ugly!]
[Yeah, the video also says that sleeping feels just like being dead. Every time I hear my parents talk about sleeping back in the day, I imagine two corpses lying there.]
[However, watching the streamer sleep, I only feel like the corpse is warm^]
Luo Yu had already fallen asleep, with his curled fingers resting on the edge of the black down pillow, gently trembling as they held onto the thin pillowcase.
The viewers in the live stream felt their hearts tremble.
[Wife, don’t hug the pillow, hug me!]
[Since my wife is asleep, sneaking a kiss while climbing into bed won’t be noticed, right?]
[Only allowed to watch, not to kiss!]
[For the first time, I find sleeping so interesting; I could watch my wife sleep all day.]
[Hey, you just said you could watch your wife take a bath all day, right? Don’t you have anything else to do? I certainly don’t.]
“Bang—”
Suddenly, a muffled sound echoed from the phone of a viewer engrossed in watching the sleeping live stream.
The viewer was stunned for a moment, checked for a while, then realized.
The sound was coming from the live stream.
Immediately, all the viewers noticed— the live stream image changed!
The originally vertical live stream had turned horizontal.
Before, the live stream footage only showed Luo Yu’s elbow extending from under the blanket.
Now, his face was pulled back, and the entire bed was in view!
Luo Yu, already pale, was wearing a white pure cotton pajama top. In the footage, his upper body appeared as a thin, white patch, sinking into the huge, soft black double bed, a stark contrast.
Perhaps due to the room being too warm, his right foot stretched out slightly from the duvet, the smooth ankle visible beneath the black lace trim, making it even more conspicuous.
Viewers watched in disbelief as the sleeping Luo Yu suddenly furrowed his brow and boldly extended his entire slender leg out from under the covers.
Even the corner of his white shorts, which barely reached his knees, was exposed.
The soft bedding slid down slightly, barely covering his waist and upper thighs.
Yet Luo Yu still kept his eyes closed, seemingly oblivious to it all.
After the change in the size of the image, the bullet comments paused for a moment before suddenly exploding.
[Did the phone fall? The streamer doesn’t even know, right…]
[I was wrong; I take back what I said about the streamer canceling the sleep segment! I hope the streamer sleeps every day from now on.]
[@Reviewer, why isn’t this being banned? The clothing is revealing, the poses are borderline, what kind of decency is this?!]
[If you don’t like it, just leave! Why report? Aren’t you the annoying one?]
The reviewer received the @ mention and hesitated for a moment while looking at the live stream footage.
Revealing clothing… Well, it’s not that revealing, right?
The little streamer’s shirt and shorts are worn neatly and are far more conservative than those of the attractive streamers on the platform.
As for the poses being borderline…
The reviewer was thirty-five this year and had also slept when he was younger. Later, when his parents told him stories about that time, they would laugh and say:
“When you were sleeping back then, you liked to kick the blanket off and often caught colds. Later, when you didn’t need to sleep anymore, you became much healthier.”
Thus, the reviewer knew—
This history major little streamer must be performing the act of kicking off blankets.
Reenacting history isn’t borderline.
The reviewer thought this and looked up.
[Viewer Count: 40300]
Wow, he’s not a small streamer anymore! He’s at the top of the university student channel rankings.
[So many people are watching the streamer sleep? Count me in.]
[I’m studying for exams, and I have my phone in front of me. When I get tired, I just look up and see the streamer sleeping obediently; it’s so relaxing.]
[It really is relaxing; I feel like I want to experience sleeping too.]
[Dangerous talk, be careful or the association will catch you.]
[Don’t report me; I’m just joking!]
[Although the streamer looks charming while sleeping, the dangers of sleeping itself are still significant. Everyone has learned from the “How Much Do You Know” series of videos that you shouldn’t easily imitate. I hope the streamer will label it “Do Not Imitate” next time.]
[The streamer only sleeps for a little while; real humans need to sleep for eight hours. Would you be willing to spend eight hours of phone time sleeping every day?]
[Well, never mind then.]
[Only a little while? How long is today’s sleeping performance going to last?]
[Class representative highlights: 90 minutes. Because ancient humans only needed 90 minutes of deep sleep each day.]
[Only 90 minutes? Isn’t that almost over? I was planning to watch during the massage later.]
The ninety-minute sleep time was quickly approaching.
Many viewers who had obediently listened to Luo Yu and left the live stream came back right on time.
Upon returning, they were stunned!
The boring scene they had imagined, with the streamer burying his head on the table and only exposing a head full of black hair, didn’t occur.
Instead, it was a stunning sleep performance where not only his face but also his legs were visible!
He even used the bed as a prop!
[Ahhh, yesterday I counted 90 minutes of hair in the live stream, and today how suddenly he looks so good!]
[Why didn’t the streamer give any notice about sleeping on the bed today? I feel like I missed out immensely!]
Suddenly, a small sound of skin brushing against silk sheets echoed in the live stream.
The barrage of comments, “Ahhh, he’s awake, he’s awake!” drowned out everything else.
Luo Yu had been sleeping in the dormitory before, and because the bed was small, he had gotten used to lying still in one position until dawn. Even when he moved, it was only slightly.
Therefore, when he woke up, he was not surprised to find himself still lying on his side.
Luo Yu sat up with a confused look, hugging his pillow, yawning, rubbing his eyes, and staring blankly ahead.
Seeing the phone on the table not far away, he suddenly remembered he was still live streaming.
A sweet, professional smile immediately appeared on his face as he pushed himself off the bed and slipped on his slippers, walking a few steps to the table.
“What’s going on? Why is this stand’s screw loose? Why did the phone fall?”
It was probably because the last tenant used it for too long. Luo Yu headacheily straightened the phone:
“Babies, did this affect the live stream—”
Luo Yu’s final “ah” got stuck in his throat.
[Viewer Count: 100000.]
One zero, two zeros… five zeros.
One hundred thousand people.
