Chapter 115: Goodness, is it really that wild?

"Where is my factory boy?!"

"Production team, what are you doing? Where is my factory boy?"

"If it weren't for him, who would tune into your stream right on time?"

"I'm speechless. Are you expecting me to watch Xiao Ran perform a one-woman show?"

The program started exactly on schedule, but the moment the camera locked onto Xiao Ran, the viewers in the chat exploded.

On screen, Xiao Ran was just sitting there "quietly" reading a book. The camera only showed her back—they didn't even give her a front-facing shot.

This left the hundreds of thousands of netizens who had been waiting in the stream for ages absolutely stunned.

In an instant, the show’s official social media page was flooded with complaints. Even when Zheng Bochao personally stepped in to explain that Lin Feng was ill, the backlash continued.

It was all because of Lin Feng’s absence.

The reason they didn't show Xiao Ran’s face was simple: they didn't dare. They didn't even dare to unmute her microphone.

Because Xiao Ran’s expression was just too foul.

"Seriously, I’m done. Two sneaky bastards, having a grand old time in that room while leaving me to hold the fort alone..."

"Aaaaah, why am I the one suffering? Seriously, can you people just show up for work on time?!"

With her back to the camera, Xiao Ran was practically plucking the fur off the giant stuffed bear in her lap.

Her eyes were filled with resentment. No, she couldn't wrap her head around it. Lin Feng had rejected her sister's gift, right? Didn't that prove he didn't like her?

If he didn't like her, how could they have stayed in that room for so long? Could it be that Brother Lin was just playing hard to get?!

That logic didn't hold up!

Xiao Ran counted on her fingers.

Lin Feng didn't like her sister, but her sister liked Lin Feng. That was basically a forced pairing.

But the problem was, back on the boat, Lin Feng had clearly been so relaxed. How could he possibly be willing to be her sister’s prisoner?!

It was already 6:30 PM. From what she knew, Lin Feng had entered her sister’s room at 10:00 AM. By her calculations, that was eight and a half hours.

Could that kind of thing really go on for so long?!

Xiao Ran didn't get it!

If you calculated it that way, with twenty-four hours in a day, spending a third of it on that—didn't that mean there was no time for lazing around at all?!

Wait!

If you looked at it that way, once they were officially a couple, wouldn't her sister have no time left to keep an eye on her?

Then she wouldn't have to go abroad; she could just cause chaos here, and her sister wouldn't have the time to stop her, right?!

Just like that, Xiao Ran instantly straightened out the logic.

There was no one else who could be her brother-in-law but Lin Feng!

She glanced at the staff, then suddenly turned back to face the camera, flashing a grin. "Brother Lin is feeling unwell and can’t attend tonight’s broadcast. To make it up to everyone, how about I dance for you?"

As soon as her voice hit the feed, the viewers in the chat instantly grew excited!

"Is it the new group dance?"

"I’m holding the flag for Miss Ran!"

"Miss Ran is going to dance! Everyone, get your glow sticks ready!"

"Brothers, this is a live stream! Miss Xiao’s concert tickets cost tens of thousands; get ready to feast your eyes!"

As the glow sticks flooded the screen, Xiao Ran slowly rose, and the staff behind the camera very sensibly cleared the chairs away.

The music started, Xiao Ran put down the giant bear, and as the rhythm kicked in, she began to move her graceful figure in front of the lens...

In no time, #XiaoRanSoloDance began trending, and the insults faded significantly.

Seeing this, Zheng Bochao, who had been feeling his scalp tingle from the backlash, finally let out a sigh of relief. Staring at the monitor, he swallowed hard.

Before, no matter what he said, Xiao Ran had looked furious, but now she was being so proactive. Had she had a change of heart?!

His gaze couldn't help but linger on Xiao Ran.

Zheng Bochao was actually a bit envious of his good brother now. The netizens all thought this was just a publicity stunt for the show, but only they, the producers, knew the truth.

This wasn't a stunt at all; Xiao Ran was clearly interested in Lin Feng.

Where on earth did his brother get such luck that he had caught Xiao Ran’s eye?

...

It was 7:00 PM when he finally emerged from Chu Ling霜’s room.

After two and a half hours of activity, to be honest, Lin Feng was a little tired.

However, Chu Ling霜 hadn't fared much better. He could at least stand up and leave the room, but Chu Ling霜 had already fallen fast asleep.

As he pulled the door open, Lin Feng saw Yu Xueyan slacking off on her phone.

Noticing Lin Feng coming out, Yu Xueyan hurriedly tucked her phone away. Lin Feng curled his lip and said softly, "Go ahead and play, your mistress is asleep."

Yu Xueyan paused, looking at Lin Feng with surprise.

"The mistress is asleep?" she asked.

"Yeah."

Lin Feng nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something.

He turned his head, shot a glance at the two bodyguard "statues" standing at the door, pursed his lips, and couldn't help but ask, "Uh, you guys didn't hear any noise, did you?"

"Noise? What noise?"

Yu Xueyan looked at Lin Feng, puzzled, and then instinctively explained, "This hotel is a five-star resort; the soundproofing is excellent."

Hearing this, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."

He didn't linger, simply saying, "I'm heading back to my room then. The program should be starting."

With that, he walked away.

Watching Lin Feng’s retreating back, Yu Xueyan frowned.

Why on earth would he ask about noise?!

Could it be that he had done something untoward to her mistress and was afraid they had heard?

At that thought, the alarm bells in Yu Xueyan’s heart rang loudly!

She immediately pushed open the door and rushed inside.

But as soon as she crossed the threshold, Yu Xueyan was shocked by the scene before her!

The room, which had been perfectly tidy earlier, looked as though a fierce battle had taken place. The sheets were pulled onto the floor, and the quilt and pillows were strewn about in a chaotic mess...

The spot where Chu Ling霜 was lying was the only thing kept clean; she was wrapped in a blanket, sleeping soundly.

Seeing this, Yu Xueyan instinctively swallowed.

Anyone could tell what had happened!

Goodness, these two were so wild...

Lin Feng looked so gentle and composed, she never expected...

What she expected even less was that her mistress would be so uninhibited.

It seemed these two were truly a perfect match.

Yu Xueyan didn't even dare to breathe, let alone imagine those scenes. She was just about to tiptoe out when she heard a faint voice from the bed.

"What time is it?"

It sounded as if she had exhausted all her energy; her voice was noticeably thin and weak.

Yu Xueyan took a deep breath and checked the time with trepidation. "M-mistress, it’s seven o'clock..."

"Oh."

Chu Ling霜 responded, her voice incredibly weak yet filled with possessiveness. "Go tell Lin Feng, after the program ends, come here to sleep."
