After the succubus became a fake young master that everyone disliked - Chapter 34

The live stream’s popularity surged rapidly, and Chi Jing’s phone vibrated a few times in response.

There were several WeChat messages—some from Mu Jingshan, and others from Chi Yu. In addition, he also saw messages from Tang Zhengqing and Tang Shen.

He replied to each one.

Chi Yu seemed to be watching the live stream as well. While watching, he kept sending messages to him, though due to the lag of the live stream and the delay in sending messages, they were about a minute behind the actual showtime.

[Chi Yu: Wow! The guy driving is actually your brother’s friend. It was because of him that your brother found out you had also arrived in this world.]

[Chi Yu: Jing looks so handsome!]

[Chi Yu: you look great in sunglasses. How about I buy you some more sunglasses?]

[Chi Jing: No, there’s no more room in the wardrobe.]

[Chi Yu: We can send them to your castle palace! What do you want to plant outside the palace?]

Plant something…

Chi Jing felt a bit lost. The Dark Palace was located in the deepest part of the Dark Forest, where nothing but ordinary trees and mushrooms could survive, let alone bright and delicate flowers.

So when Chi Yu asked what he wanted to plant outside the new palace, he didn’t know how to decide.

But then, he suddenly thought of the Endless Summer hydrangeas blooming vibrantly in the villa garden.

[Chi Jing: Endless Summer.]

[Chi Yu: I thought you would like red roses like Dad.]

Chi Jing had seen pictures of Chi Yu’s castle palace, with large patches of red roses planted outside. When they bloomed together, it was quite breathtaking and beautiful.

But what ranked first in his heart was still the blue and purple hydrangeas planted in the villa.

Jiang Yucheng, avoiding the camera, played with a lock of Chi Jing’s hair between his fingers.

“What are you thinking about?”

“Endless Summer,” he blurted out.

Jiang Yucheng lowered his gaze to look at him, his eyes full of tenderness.

“Is it the hydrangeas in the garden?”

There was no need to hide the answer to this question, so Chi Jing nodded directly.

“Dad asked me what flowers I wanted to plant outside the palace,” he said, propping his chin on his hand, his gaze drifting. “I just thought of the hydrangeas in the villa garden.”

He expected to be asked the same question as Chi Yu—why?

But Jiang Yucheng didn’t ask for a reason. Instead, he nodded and said, “Endless Summer is indeed beautiful. BTES has new jewelry with Endless Summer elements.”

Chi Jing thought for a moment and asked, “Is it pretty?”

Jiang Yucheng’s gaze became even softer. “It suits you very well.”

Only then did Chi Jing reluctantly nod. “Alright, I want it then.”

If someone else had spoken in that tone, most people would have been angry. But Jiang Yucheng didn’t react much; instead, he opened his phone to let him choose a style he liked.

Neither of them was watching the live stream at this time, so they didn’t know that the chat comments had gone wild.

[What are they whispering about! I want to hear it too!]

[Two handsome guys together are so pleasing to the eye. Get a little closer, I want to screenshot this as my wallpaper.]

[What are they talking about?]

[What could they possibly be saying that we, the viewers, can’t hear? Let me squeeze in and listen too!]

[For some reason, I feel like Jiang Yucheng and Chi Jing have a really good relationship. Did they know each other before?]

[Probably not. The Chi family isn’t really that wealthy, so they wouldn’t have the opportunity to know him.]

[Maybe it’s just a mutual appreciation between handsome guys.]

[I checked Weibo Super Topics, and Jiang Yucheng’s girlfriend fans are already freaking out. It’s hilarious that the main guy doesn’t even care.]

[Jiang Yucheng doesn’t rely on fans anyway, so I don’t understand why some fans always want to control his work under the guise of liking him…]

[On the contrary, he seems to hate being controlled. He seems like the type who enjoys solitude and would never get married.]

[Same here. I can’t imagine who he would even like.]

A staff member quietly reminded them.

“Mr. Jiang, you’re on a live stream.”

Jiang Yucheng just glanced indifferently at the staff member who reminded him and casually responded. However, he didn’t make any move to distance himself from Chi Jing.

Chi Jing didn’t know that his Weibo followers were increasing at an alarming rate, especially when the camera focused on his face.

Undoubtedly, this is an era where looks matter, especially in the entertainment industry.

As long as someone hasn’t done anything illegal, they’re bound to attract fans because of their looks. As for previous scandals, well, since he had already addressed those on camera, they wouldn’t be considered scandals to the fans drawn in by his appearance.

He sat up, stretched, and yawned.

Jiang Yucheng asked, “Tired again?”

He replied, “A little, I’m so exhausted.”

Jiang Yucheng adjusted his arm so he could lean more comfortably.

“Half an hour left.”

“Alright then.”

The progress bar was getting shorter and shorter. They arrived in Country F and were assigned rooms that night.

Chi Jing and Jiang Yucheng shared a room, though fortunately, it was a twin-bed room.

[Too bad it’s not a double bed. I kind of want to see them sleep in the same room.]

[You guys move fast—there’s already a CP Super Topic set up?]

[Lol, because these two are just so easy to ship! Jiang Yucheng seems to listen to everything Chi Jing says.]

[His girlfriend fans are losing it even more, saying they’re going to report the Super Topic.]

[Go ahead and report. We can just set up another one. Unless Jiang Yucheng stops interacting with Chi Jing, people are going to keep shipping them.]

[Even if they don’t interact, people will still ship them. Just look at Shen Yixing and An Boqing—they’re miles apart, and yet CP fans still find “sugar.”]

[Even if there’s no sugar, CP superfans will write fanfics to ship them, unless the hype dies down.]

[I can’t stand you CP shippers. These two are clearly just friends. If they’re not, I’ll wash my hair while standing on my head.]

After arriving in Country F, they rested for an afternoon and then had dinner together.

The most interesting part of the dinner was the conversation afterward.

Under Lou Yiwen’s guidance, Chi Jing calmly revealed the misdeeds of Wen Zhentian and his wife.

[Is it really that bad?]

[I want to say he’s making this up, but judging by his reaction, it seems real…]

[Do you guys remember that incident with Wen Yubai that trended on social media a few days ago!!!]

[I remember! Someone said it was Wen Zhentian who purposely took him to that party, and then that incident happened. I thought it was an accident at the time, but now it seems really creepy in hindsight.]

[Wen Yubai’s fans angrily came to curse Chi Jing, then fearfully left the live stream.]

[Wen Yubai posted on Weibo afterward. Nothing much happened, but he did include a disappointed expression. I thought it was directed at his morally questionable, marriage-cheating uncle. But now it seems like he’s disappointed in Wen Zhentian.]

[Wen Yubai’s fans are losing it.]

[Um… Some insiders are speaking up, saying that Wen Zhentian is indeed notorious in the circle for “selling” his sons and nieces. Chi Jing probably wasn’t very obedient, so he shifted his focus to grooming his nieces and nephews, taking them to various parties.]

[What disgusts me most is that he had no humanity left. Before he left, he even took a large sum of money from Chi Jing.]

[Now that I think about it, Chi Jing is amazing. He made so much money in college. When I was in college, I just laid in bed watching variety shows, dramas, and live streams. I’m a failure, orz.]

[Sigh, it’s probably because of unreliable parents.]

[The funniest thing is that Wen Zhentian used the money he took from him to buy a not-so-luxurious luxury car, drove it to Wen Yubai’s talent show, and even bought a trending topic to brag about his car…]

[This belongs in a dark comedy.]
