Livestream Matchmaking: My Intel Infinitely Refreshes

"Her legs are fine, but I... I haven’t brought her home yet."

"But I’ve already thought it through. If my parents really don’t agree, I should be able to do just fine on my own," his cousin said seriously.

"Right now, my take-home pay is a little over 10,000 a month. With my housing fund, I can afford a mortgage on a place in the provincial capital, no problem."

"Cut the crap, buddy," Zhang Zhe said disdainfully. "If you really didn’t have your family’s support, it’s not even a sure thing that the girl would be willing to marry you."

"I think she would be."

"It doesn’t matter what you think. You’re just head over heels right now. The relationship hasn’t even properly started and you’re already thinking about marriage."

The moment Zhang Zhe heard his tone, he knew the young man hadn’t dated much, nor had he much experience with intimacy.

Otherwise, why would he be thinking about marriage after only knowing her for a month?

This was a classic case of "marriage fever" that young men get.

Once they’re over 25 and their sexual desires aren’t as strong, this symptom starts to fade rapidly.

"My advice to you, kid, is to just date first."

"The fact that you’re thinking about marriage shows you’re a responsible man. So there’s no problem with dating the girl for a while longer. As long as she’s a good person, you’re not going to string her along."

"The biggest advantage of finding love on your own compared to matchmaking is that you can get personal information that’s even more private than what we Matchmakers have, which helps you avoid a lot of red flags."

[Is it possible that once the passion fades, he won’t want to get married anymore?]

[I bet the girl is the one pushing for it.]

[The chances of a flash marriage ending in a flash divorce are too high. He’s not even 30, no need to be in such a rush.]

[Let me put it this way, if I met a guy, there’s no way I’d give myself to him in less than a month.]

"Brother Zhang, I get what you’re saying, but my dad won’t even let me date her."

"He just wants me to hurry up and find someone with a government job to marry." On the other end of the call, his cousin sighed. "If he wasn’t so against it, I wouldn’t be in such a rush to think about marriage either."

"I get it. You’re being a little rebellious." Zhang Zhe laughed. So it was a bit of a rebellious streak acting up.

He had thought the girl was putting on the pressure.

He hadn’t expected a classic case of father-son conflict.

"It’s fine. Young people are all like this. You just go ahead and date her. As long as you don’t secretly go get your marriage license, your father will slowly process his negative feelings on his own."

"If you don’t believe me, ask the chat. Anyone a bit older has experience with this."

"Huh? Just ignore him?" The cousin was stunned for a moment. He’d never thought of it that way. "You can do that?"

"But we’ll have to get married eventually, right? I’ll never get his approval."

"That could be a year from now," Zhang Zhe said dismissively. "You worrying about marriage right now is like me falling for a girl at first sight and, before even saying hello, already starting to wonder what we should name our son."

"By the way, buddy, what’s your name?"

"My name is... wait, Brother Zhang, why are you asking?"

"Nothing, just don’t want my son to have the same name as you." Zhang Zhe chuckled. He’d almost managed to trick the kid.

On the other end of the line, Xia Yi had already put down her phone.

She gently patted her dazed cousin, motioning for him to mute his microphone first, then asked in confusion, "Did that girl agree to marry you?"

"No, we just made our relationship official."

"And then you went mumbling and stammering to my uncle that you were getting married?"

"Yeah."

"Yeah, my ass!" Xia Yi angrily flicked her cousin on the forehead. "I thought you two had already pledged to spend your lives together!"

"We’re getting there, it’s just a matter of time."

"Sis, my consultation is over. Can I hang up now?"

"Not so fast." Xia Yi glanced at her tablet and shook her head. "I have a question for this Matchmaker."

...

"Hello, Brother Zhang."

"Huh? Why the new person?" When Zhang Zhe heard the young man on the line suddenly replaced by a sweet, feminine voice, he subconsciously assumed it was the nail technician. "You’re the girlfriend of that kid from just now, right?"

"No, I’m an elder in his family."

"Oh, an elder. How can I help you?"

[Oh crap, his mom’s here.]

[Streamer, you’re done for. She’s going to blame you for corrupting her son.]

[Does this mom have any shame? Look at what she’s driven her son to, and she still dares to cause trouble for Brother Zhang?]

Xia Yi saw the bullet comments and was so angry she almost choked:

"I’m not his mom, I’m his cousin."

"Brother Zhang, I want to ask you a question. Given my cousin’s family background, do you think it’s appropriate for him to date a girl who does nails?"

"Are their family backgrounds a match?"

"Can their relationship have a happy ending?"

"This doesn’t align with the principles you mentioned before about finding a matchmaking partner!"

"Uh... are you really his cousin, and not his mom?"

Zhang Zhe found it hard to understand. ’It’s his relationship, so why are you making such a scene?’

Fortunately, his cousin was there to explain. "Brother Zhang, please don’t mind her. My cousin is a little angry because I was being an idiot."

"Oh, so is your cousin single, unmarried, and maybe has never even been in a relationship?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Zhang, you’re so..." The cousin nodded repeatedly, but after getting a glare, he quickly swallowed the word "awesome."

"I knew it," Zhang Zhe said, the realization dawning on him.

"The way she talks... she has the same vibe as the last few female viewers who called in."

"Alright, let’s leave it at that for now." Zhang Zhe smiled, not planning to continue the conversation.

He had already analyzed the situation for the young man. As for his cousin having issues, well, she could just stew on it.

He wasn’t Baidu Encyclopedia; he didn’t have to answer every question from every person who showed up.

Besides, Baidu even pushes ads as answers. If he were to recommend the Zhuyin Marriage Agency to this girl, she’d probably explode with rage.

"Wait, Brother Zhang!" Xia Yi saw that Zhang Zhe was trying to slip away and quickly spoke up.

"Wait for what?"

"My question! You haven’t answered me yet!"

"Sorry, this is the Matchmaking Live Stream Room. If you have questions, go ask DeepSeek," Zhang Zhe said with a wave of his hand. "We don’t serve non-matchmaking clients."

"Then... I’m here for matchmaking too. Now you can talk to me for a bit, right?"

"Nope. You’re too aggressive. A matchmaking session with you would be exhausting."

"What if I’m a little gentler, then can I?"

"Honeypie~"

"Mambo~"

Xia Yi unconsciously lowered her volume, her tone becoming softer.

Her cousin, who was beside her, couldn’t help but shudder and rub his arms.

’Maya, I’m getting goosebumps.’

"If you use that tone..." Zhang Zhe nodded. "You should have said so earlier."

Gentle and sensible girls always got preferential treatment in the live stream room.

Calling into the stream was primarily an auditory experience, so a pleasant voice was a big plus for Zhang Zhe.

"Go on, introduce yourself."

"Given that you’re this 25-year-old kid’s older cousin, I’m guessing you’re 30, right?"

"No way, I’m only 27."

[She’s not that young, probably 35.]

[The streamer is amazing, he turned a tigress into a little lamb.]

[Sis, you don’t have to do this. You could just curse out the streamer and then get back in line on a different account.]

"Brother Zhang, before I introduce myself, could you answer my earlier question, pretty please?"
