Viewers in the live stream:??? What's going on? This comment looks familiar.
The more the collector praised him, the more ashamed Wen Feiran felt. He looked around, wishing he could disappear into a hole. But that wasn't the important thing right now. Wen Feiran suddenly raised his head and stared intently at Zou Yuxing, afraid that he would expose his true identity on camera like he did at South China Institute.
But this time, Zou Yuxing simply looked up at the painting, trying to appreciate and understand it, without winking or making faces at him.
Wen Feiran breathed a sigh of relief and shrank further into the corner.
He was always busy when he was embarrassed; he pinched his reddened ear, then wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, and his face grew hotter and hotter, almost steaming.
His reaction practically screamed "Something's fishy" on his face.
Although Zou Yuxing didn't recognize him this time, there are countless Zou Yuxings in the live stream room. Even if the probability is low, it doesn't mean it's impossible.
[This is almost exactly the same bamboo painting Wen Feiran drew in the last issue! Wen Feiran is Lu Lu!!]
[Haha, we even created a super topic specifically to find his alternate account, but after all that effort we still couldn't find him. Unexpectedly, Meng Jingxiu provided a divine assist! Thank you!]
[!! The biggest bombshell was hidden in Wen Feiran!]
[Lu Lu Lu Lu, his pseudonym is Lu Lu, megaphone. jpg.]
[Okay, got it, I'll go to @Zeng Elder Zeng now.]
[Are you sure? Don't make a fuss and cause further trouble for this young painter.]
[Impossible! Look at Wen Feiran's expression; this child can't hide anything.]
The live stream was buzzing with discussion, and the hashtag quickly trended on social media. However, the people involved were unaware that Meng Jingxiu, squinting at the painting, suddenly felt like showing off.
The more a collector praises him, the more he belittles him. This not only allows him to showcase his unique artistic taste but also lets him stand out.
Meng Jingxiu frowned. "It is indeed a good painting, but the brushstrokes are too hasty. It looks careless and not refined enough."
The collector's expression immediately changed, but he didn't refute it because of the camera, only vaguely saying, "Indeed, he's still young and has a lot of room to grow."
Meng Jingxiu felt that his insightful views and profound understanding far surpassed those of the painter named Lu Lu, and casually asked, "I'd like to collect this painting. How much?"
"One hundred thousand," the collector's lips curled into a smile again, "I guarantee you, collecting his paintings will absolutely not be a loss in the future!"
[Only 100,000? The price is lower than I expected!]
[Oh my god, I could actually afford this! I'm so tempted!]
Please give me a chance, where is the address? I'll go buy it right away.
[When did Wen Feiran get so many fans? 100,000 yuan is no small sum, and she just spends it like that.]
[These aren't fans, they're all money-grubbers! Buying it for 100,000 now will at least increase it tenfold in the future, and tenfold is a conservative estimate!]
Ten thousand yuan was just a drop in the ocean for Meng Jingxiu; the cost of showing off was minimal. He immediately said, "Although it's not entirely to my liking, I believe in this painter's future potential, and I'm willing to contribute to his development, as well as to countless young painters and the entire art world..."
In his attempt to demonstrate his superiority, he went too far. But before he could finish his performance, someone walked up to him, eyes gleaming, and pointed at Wen Feiran's painting, saying, "I'll buy it."
Meng Jingxiu: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Meng Jingxiu was stunned. It took him more than ten seconds to find his voice, "Excuse me, sir, I was here first. Why don't you go and pick another one?"
The stranger waved his hand. "Weren't you dissatisfied? Then don't force yourself. Give it to me, and I'll be forever grateful!"
Meng Jingxiu's words did indeed carry a derogatory tone, and now that he had been exposed, his smile stiffened. "In that case, I'm willing to part with it."
"Okay." The stranger immediately started discussing the follow-up matters with the collector, glancing around frequently as if he would be snatched away if he hesitated even a second longer.
Although the painting was excellent, no one understood his urgency, and the atmosphere was completely disrupted by this stranger.
After buying the painting, the stranger left satisfied, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Wen Feiran, whose head was bowed low and only a pair of bright red ears were visible.
Wen Feiran's looks surpass even those of celebrities, yet he lacks any sense of distance, resembling more of a cute younger brother next door. A stranger, wanting to tease him, stopped in front of him. "Feiran, I'll always support you. I hope you can bring us more juicy gossip. And this painting of yours, I'll treasure it dearly, right, Teacher Lu Lu?"
He deliberately spoke the last four words slowly and deliberately, raising his voice.
How could someone with a mouth that's at 37 degrees Celsius say such vicious things?!
Wen Feiran suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide open, her face full of disbelief, her beautiful eyes misting over like a startled fawn.
Stranger: "..." Why do I suddenly feel so guilty?
He dared not linger any longer. After apologizing, he slipped away without paying attention to the reactions of others.
One group in the live stream burst into laughter, saying he was too mean, while another group, seeing Wen Feiran's pitiful state, became his "mommy fans," helping him condemn this bully.
The chain reaction caused by this stranger continued, and everyone present was stunned. Zou Yuxing was the first to come to his senses, his eyes shining brightly. As soon as he opened his mouth, Wen Feiran knew what he was going to say.
Shut up!
"No wonder I felt like I'd seen this somewhere before," Su Shangting said thoughtfully. "So it was you, Feiran, who drew it. Why didn't you tell me? I'll buy all your artwork from now on!"
Zou Yuxing immediately jumped in to object, "How can you be like this? At least it should be half and half!"
