Because of the exposure of Ning Yufei’s recording, it brought a strong reversal to Qi Feng’s previous bad reputation. As a result, Qi Feng’s fan base skyrocketed, and his live broadcast room also had an unprecedented number of fans.
Today’s live broadcast hadn’t started yet, but there were already tens of thousands of people squatting in the room and talking non-stop.
【Thank goodness I was sober, you guys were scolding him for half a year, but I always supported Qi Feng. I knew Qi Feng was not that kind of person, he was indeed framed.】
【I was sober too. You can look at my history comments, because I defended Qi Feng, there were a bunch of people chasing me and cursing me as a brainless fan. Who is the brainless fan now.】
【I’m sorry, I was wrong, I scolded Qi Feng. That time on the food show, I thought Qi Feng was faking a fall to steal the spotlight, but it turned out he was pushed by Ning Yufei’s assistant.】
【And also the clout-chasing, it was all Ning Yufei who deliberately arranged it, to harm our innocent Qi Feng.】
【I was also led by the rhythm, if it wasn’t for seeing a few screenshots that were photoshopped into a smiling face, how could I follow them and call him a 《Paralyzed face’, now I go back and look, every picture of Qi Feng is so beautiful that it makes my heart beat.】
【Ning Yufei also drugged him, our little pillow was too miserable, sob sob.】
…..
There was a lot of scolding Ning Yufei on the internet, and Qi Feng received a lot of apologies and pity.
There were also some black fans who saw the truth and felt too guilty and kept apologizing by sending gifts. As a result, the live broadcast hadn’t started yet, and the amount of gifts displayed on the page had reached five digits.
Fang Cheng opened the live broadcast room and was first scared by the full screen of comments, and then by the gifts.
Fang Cheng didn’t sleep all night, thinking of last night’s reversal, he still couldn’t help but have tears in his eyes.
He took advantage of the fact that the camera and microphone hadn’t been turned on yet, and whispered to Qi Feng who was sitting in front of the guqin: “Xiaofeng, do you want to say hello to everyone first in today’s live broadcast? They want to see your current state.”
And at this moment, the tens of thousands of fans who were guarding the live broadcast room saw the system prompt of ‘Qi Feng entered the live broadcast room’.
Everyone brushed the screen together:
【Little pillow, are you okay? Sob sob, hug our little pillow】
【I scolded you before, I was wrong. As a loyal fan, let me follow you for a lifetime, love you for a lifetime.】
【Qi Feng, did you rest well last night, let us see you.】
【Don’t be sad, we support you. Qi Feng, fighting!】
…..
Then gifts started madly bombarding the screen one after another, dazzlingly bright.
Qi Feng indeed didn’t rest well last night, but it didn’t affect his refined and pale complexion. His face was somewhat pale, with faint dark circles under his enchanting, drooping peach blossom eyes, a kind of frail beauty that made one’s heart ache.
He didn’t deliberately apply makeup to conceal his fatigue. He nodded to indicate Fang Cheng could turn on the camera.
In a blink, the handsome, breezy boy appeared before the eyes of tens of thousands. Today, he wore a light green oversized open shirt. The sleeves drooped down limply and the shirt tail fluttered lightly, as clean as a morning orchid with dewdrops.
The comments flooded again:
【Ahhhh little pillow is here!】
【Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng, our treasure, we love you.】
【Xiao Feng looks a little haggard. I see his dark circles, wuwuwu.】
【Qi Feng is still the most beautiful.】
Some who understood the guzheng noticed:
【Seems it’s not a guzheng today, but a guqin? Does Qi Feng also know how to play guqin?】
【Oh, I don’t get it. What’s the difference between a guqin and a guzheng?】
…..
Qi Feng smiled at the camera and simply explained about the earth-shattering change that happened last night: “Thank you for being with me yesterday. It will be a new start from now on.”
“Today I want to try to play a guqin piece for you, I hope you like it.”
The live broadcast began.
Qi Feng sat in front of the guqin, his slender fingers plucked the ancient strings, and the melancholy and deep sound of the guqin sounded under his clean and flushed fingertips.
The sound of the guqin was deeper than that of the guzheng, and it could make people calm down and immerse themselves in it. Many people stopped brushing comments and gifts and listened quietly to the melodious sound of the strings.
This kind of low-pitched sound also easily made people feel depressed, especially when they thought of the player who had been framed, misunderstood, and cyberbullied for a year, but still withstood all the pressure and showed his best side. Many people couldn’t help but feel sad for him.
When the song ended, many people were in tears.
In the live broadcast room, suddenly a fan named ‘Deputy Gains Proper Status1“Deputy Gains Proper” (副副得正) is a play on words. It sounds similar to the Chinese idiom “fu fu de zheng” (夫妇得正) meaning “a married couple gains proper status”.‘ sent a gift worth ten thousand diamonds, setting off dazzling fireworks across the screen.
Then he sent a comment:
【Excuse me, Qi Feng, can you play a song called 《Phoenix Seeking Phoenix2This is Feng Qiu Huang. For those who don’t remember, this is the song Pei Yan wanted Qi Feng to play. I am changing the term to the translation instead of the original Feng Qiu Huang so it is easier to remember and understand.》for me?】
As if he was afraid that Qi Feng wouldn’t see his comment, he brushed another ten thousand, and asked again:
【Excuse me, can you play a song called《Phoenix Seeking Phoenix》for me?】
He brushed another ten thousand, and asked again:
【Excuse me, can you play a song called《Phoenix Seeking Phoenix》for me?】
Three consecutive diamond gifts nearly blinded everyone. It successfully incited everyone’s excitement and curiosity:
【Wow, a big boss has come!】
【What is《Phoenix Seeking Phoenix》? Does it sound nice?】
【Too curious, what is this《Phoenix Seeking Phoenix》that makes the big boss angry and brush thirty thousand?】
【Does our little pillow know how to play《Phoenix Seeking Phoenix》?】
….
《Phoenix Seeking Phoenix》?
Qi Feng’s fingertips paused, and his eyes narrowed.
He first thought of the young general Pei in his memory.
That night was before Pei Yan went to war.
Pei Yan broke into his pavilion in the middle of the night and secretly met him.
Under the dark night, the candlelight on the desk illuminated Pei Yan’s face, the young general’s face was cold and proud, but his ears were red, and he said in a low voice: “When I return victorious, can you play《Phoenix Seeking Phoenix》for me?”
There was an unwritten custom in the music hall, that whenever a musician fell in love with a patron, they would play《Phoenix Seeking Phoenix》for the patron alone, to convey their love.
Just like the sentiment behind this piece《Phoenix Seeking Phoenix》, even knowing they may not be together long, their feelings ran too deep to forget in this lifetime.
Could this person be Pei Yan?
Qi Feng’s heartbeat quickened. Did Pei Yan regain memories of their past lives?
But he quickly rejected this idea.
It was unlikely to be Pei Yan. He was also a regular fan in his live broadcast room called Passerby.
Pei Yan had been with him that morning. If he really recalled their past lives, he would have told Qi Feng directly.
This person definitely wasn’t Pei Yan.
However….
Ever since he had promised to play this for Pei Yan, he hadn’t played《Phoenix Seeking Phoenix》for anyone else.
Now, he didn’t want to play it for someone else either.
Qi Feng looked up at the livestream screen and said, “Sorry, I haven’t practiced《Phoenix Seeking Phoenix》well and can’t play it during the livestream. Please don’t send any more gifts, Deputy Gains Proper Status. I will also apply to the platform to refund the gifts you sent.”
Deputy Gains Proper Status: 【I’m sorry, it was my request that caused you trouble. Please don’t return them, I will feel very guilty. I’m really sorry, I won’t send any more gifts, please continue to play.】
He was humble, which made Qi Feng feel a bit embarrassed, and said: “Besides this one, you can choose another song, as long as I can play it, I will play it for you.”
Deputy Gains Proper Status: 【Really? Thank you so much. Then could you play Autumn Wind Poem for me?】
It was another rather melancholic love song.
Qi Feng frowned slightly, and began to wonder who this ‘Deputy Gains Proper Status’ was, and then felt that he was overthinking. He probably liked this kind of music.
He nodded and began to play this slow and melancholic song.
—
Even if he was busy, Pei Yan would always make time to watch Qi Feng’s live broadcast, and today was no exception. He opened his computer, dealt with the company’s documents and data, and put Qi Feng’s live broadcast on his phone next to him.
He just wanted to see Qi Feng.
When he saw someone mention《Phoenix Seeking Phoenix》, his heart suddenly ached.
“《Phoenix Seeking Phoenix》?”
He muttered softly.
He had never heard the guqin version of《Phoenix Seeking Phoenix》, but in his vague memory, he seemed to hear a mournful sound of the guqin, the sound was sad and deep, carrying unfulfilled seeking and painful longing.
“Have I heard it before?”
Pei Yan muttered to himself.
But soon he was distracted by another thing, the person who asked Qi Feng to play《Phoenix Seeking Phoenix》, actually made another request, and Qi Feng actually agreed!
This was simply making him see red from jealousy.
He hadn’t even dared ask Qi Feng to play any pieces for him!
He looked again, and on the fan list in Qi Feng’s live broadcast room, the fan named ‘Deputy Gains Proper Status’ had already ranked second on the fan reward list just from those gifts!
The reward amount was very close to his, and if he sent a few more diamonds, he would surpass him and become Qi Feng’s number one fan.
Pei Yan absolutely couldn’t tolerate this happening, he was the big boss, the first place could only be his, no one could surpass him.
So, he picked up his phone, and ‘bang bang bang’ angrily brushed a hundred thousand.
Dazzling golden light from the gifts instantly flooded the screen, nearly blinding everyone again.
【Wow, the big boss reappears!】
【Today’s live broadcast is so happy, the big boss’s gifts are so beautiful.】
【Brush the gifts, support our little pillow, our little Qi Feng cake.】
【Big boss, you have money, just brush more, our little pillow has suffered so much in the past six months, make him happy, we are also happy.】
【Brush it, brush it all! Support the little pillow.】
….
So, this song ‘Autumn Wind Poem’ had only played for a few seconds, when the live broadcast room was bombarded by various gifts.
Qi Feng had to stop and say: “Everyone please stop. Don’t send any more gifts in my live broadcast room in the future…..”
But before he finished his words, Pei Yan angrily sent two more, and the fireworks that exploded blocked his face.
Qi Feng knew that Passerby was Pei Yan’s.
He just felt angry and directly said, “That one called Passerby, if you send any more, I will kick you out.”
Pei Yan’s hand that was about to send more gifts suddenly stopped. Even across the screen, Qi Feng’s words still had a certain deterrent effect on him.
This deterrent was not fear of being kicked out, but fear of making Qi Feng unhappy, and uncontrollably wanting to obey him.
The comment section was quiet for a moment and then burst into laughter:
【Hahaha, is our little pillow angry?】
【Kick him out! Hahaha. Big boss, save your money and send it next time.】
【Qi Feng’s angry voice is also so good to listen to, it doesn’t make people scared, it just makes him cute.】
【The angry little cake is also so cute, it makes people want to bite him.】
……
Pei Yan also found Qi Feng extremely cute when angry. He loved the boy’s cold, indifferent attitude, so he could coax and make his fair handsome face blush red, eventually softening in his arms.
He loved the contrast in the boy.
Pei Yan’s fingers itched and he tapped on the gift selection column, and finally couldn’t help but send another tens of thousands.
He wanted to see if Qi Feng would be angry, and if he would really kick him out.
Pei Yan looked forward to seeing the boy’s pursed lips and frowning brows on the screen and loved him to death in his heart.
Just as he was about to reach out and stroke the mole under the boy’s pressed lips on screen, the screen suddenly went black. A message floated over:
【You have been kicked from the livestream by the host.】
Pei Yan: ……
I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. If you want to show your support, you can buy me a coffee. It would make my day! For every five coffees I get, I will release a bonus chapter.
