Chapter 66:
The viewer who sent that message in the live chat was a VIP, making their comment stand out in bright yellow, impossible to miss.
As if afraid it would go unnoticed, they sent several more messages in rapid succession.
[Jiang Nan is so fake! He’s not even related to Xiao Feng by blood. His mom was a homewrecker! She came into the family less than a year after Xiao Feng’s mom passed away. And guess what? His mom was a nurse in Xiao Feng’s mother’s ward! Do your research!]
[Before, when Jiang Feng was live streaming, Jiang Nan didn’t even know he was being recorded, and his whole ‘nice guy’ act fell apart. Sure, Xiao Feng can be a bit hot-tempered, but he’s always been that way. Jiang Nan is the real hypocrite! If you haven’t caught up on this, go check out the gossip on Weibo!]
After these eye-catching comments appeared, more viewers started voicing support for Jiang Feng.
Jiang Nan’s face flushed with anger as he read the messages. The term “homewrecker” stood out, glaring at him.
But he couldn’t argue.
Even if others didn’t know the truth, he was well aware that his mother had indeed gotten close to Jiang Feng’s father while working as a nurse.
If he were to escalate things with Jiang Feng now, it could lead to netizens digging deeper into their past, and that would only make things worse for him.
Though the rage boiling inside him threatened to overwhelm his reason, Jiang Nan forced himself to stay calm. His fingernails dug so deeply into his palms that they nearly punctured the skin.
…
For some reason, maybe because the live stream audience had grown used to Jiang Feng, no one criticized him, even when he acted spoiled in the first episode.
The live chat remained unusually harmonious.
It was a stark contrast to how the original show had unfolded in the previous world, where Jiang Feng’s predecessor had been relentlessly criticized.
However, this time the audience was clearly biased.
With Metamorphosis becoming such a hit, viewers who couldn’t watch the show live were glued to Jiang Feng’s live stream instead.
They had grown so familiar with his personality that, in their eyes, Jiang Feng was like a lovable fool.
Whatever he did couldn’t be compared to anyone else.
As a result, the live chat began to take on a bizarre tone.
When Jiang Feng complained about the car being too bumpy, the chat was filled with: “Hahahaha!”
When he won 16 consecutive rounds of a game in the car, the chat was flooded with: “Brilliant!”
When he talked about his dream of becoming a professional gamer, viewers spammed: “Hey, major esports teams! Come look at our boy! He’s got talent!”
And when Jiang Feng bluntly called out Jiang Nan’s mother for being a nurse in his mother’s ward, and, with a scowl, said, “I’d like to throw a sack over you and beat you up. Am I supposed to be grateful?” the chat erupted again:
“Well said!”
“Nicely done!”
“I’ve got the sack ready!”
As more of these bizarre comments poured in, everyone in the room was left speechless.
This…
What was happening?
Jiang Feng’s relationship with his audience seemed unbelievably good.
The stance of the viewers was clear in the chat—no one was siding with Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan and the production team were left dumbfounded.
While they had known that Jiang Feng was likable, they hadn’t expected him to win over fans so completely.
Typically, if someone acted like Jiang Feng—sleeping in, complaining about the ride, and avoiding work—they would get criticized.
But Jiang Feng? His fans were like a cult, utterly loyal to him, and completely biased in his favor.
Grandma Li, who was sitting nearby, looked utterly pleased with the situation.
With a proud smile, she said, “The audience knows what’s what. Of course, our Xiao Feng is lovable! Why shouldn’t he sleep in? And the car was bumpy—what’s wrong with complaining a little? Who says Xiao Feng isn’t motivated? He’s a wonderful child! He even has a mobile phone!”
Grandma Li had completely transformed into Jiang Feng’s number one fan, radiating the pride only a doting elder could.
The production crew was baffled. “What? What?”
Jiang Nan was equally confused. “What? What?”
The assistant director was beginning to question reality. Was this really happening?
He turned to look at the head director, Wang Min, only to find Wang nodding in agreement.
Even Li Rou, the chief screenwriter, seemed pleased, saying, “You can’t discriminate against someone based on their profession. Sure, Xiao Feng didn’t bring a workbook or a phone, but his dreams are just different. He wants to be a professional gamer. And that’s fine—there are many ways to succeed in life!”
It was clear—their treasure child had been found!
The public’s sharp eyes had finally recognized how wonderful Jiang Feng truly was!
