Desire! This Romance Is Overflowing with Ambiguous Atmosphere! So Sweet! - Chapter 6

The live-stream face-off on Weibo was still ongoing.

To be more precise, Wen Shiwu, who had just started her broadcast, was still wrestling with her manager.

The camera shook violently.

The two seemed to be fighting over the phone, with only occasional glimpses of Wen Shiwu’s captivating, alluring beauty flashing across the screen.

The live stream was filled with Lin Yixian’s furious roars: “Wen Shiwu! Turn off this live stream right now!”

“No!” Wen Shiwu clutched her phone tightly. “Today, I’m going to poke these dirty little mudballs with my carrot!”

“Poke my ass! Do you believe I’ll poke you to death instead?”

“You’re nothing but a ball of yarn! Just you wait… I’ll curse you. If you keep snatching my phone, I’ll curse you to gain ten pounds!”

“Wen Shiwu!!!” Lin Yixian exploded.

The audience was utterly stunned. No one expected the live-stream face-off meant to clarify the rumors to unfold like this. They were completely dumbfounded.

Fans familiar with Wen Shiwu’s unique style of “cursing” were practically splitting their sides laughing in the live chat.

“Hahaha, here we go again! Another iconic moment of our girl cursing!”

“I’ve seen people curse, but never like our girl, so adorably fierce, like she’s hitting my chest with a tiny cotton ball.”

“Hahaha, I’m dying! I’m seriously worried that Sister Xian is going to kick our girl out of this live stream any second now.”

“Help! Getting kicked out isn’t the worst part. I’m just afraid that when our girl argues with Luo Xuan, she’ll say “croak” instead of “get out” again. Then we’d really lose it! Hahaha!!!”

“What’s there to fear? If our girl can’t curse, can’t we curse for her? Let’s go, sisters! Drown out this rumor-monger!”

Lin Yixian was so furious she pressed her philtrum, wishing she had a few more quick-acting heart relief pills on hand.

Wen Shiwu finally managed to snatch her phone back.

The camera refocused, and what greeted everyone’s eyes was a flawlessly pure and alluring face, completely free of makeup.

Wen Shiwu had been dragged out of bed just moments ago.

She had washed her face but hadn’t put on any makeup.

Her radiant, pink-tinged cheeks showed not a single blemish, her lips were naturally rosy without a trace of lipstick, and her deer-like eyes, sparkling like a sky full of stars, were irresistibly captivating, thanks to her naturally long, fairy-like lashes.

“Hello, everyone. I’m Wen Shiwu.”

Wen Shiwu looked seriously into the camera. “Today, a little frog who drank bubble tea without any pearls crossed the street pretending to be a camouflaged Jeep, spreading rumors that I forcibly kissed my idol after failing to win his affection.”

“I started this live stream to clarify these rumors.”

“At this moment, my name is, Furious Tripitaka.”

“Hahahahahahahaha!!!”

“Alright, alright, Furious Tripitaka it is. I’m joining the Tripitaka sect right now. Is the entry fee feeding you carrots?”

“Master Tripitaka, please begin your performance.”

“You can really tell our girl is furious about these false accusations. She’s spitting gold one line after another, I’m literally dying of laughter.”

“I’ve never seen our girl this worked up before. It just shows how absurd Luo Xuan’s rumors are. I’ve always said our girl is amazing, she has tons of admirers. Why would she ever need to forcibly kiss someone?!!!”

The court of public opinion was already starting to shift.

Wen Shiwu had always enjoyed an excellent reputation in the entertainment industry. With no solid black marks against her in the past and a strong base of casual fans, it wasn’t so easy for Luo Xuan’s rumors to tarnish her image.

By now, Luo Xuan was beginning to panic.

She never expected Wen Shiwu to start a live stream to confront her directly. The microphone was thrust in her face once again.

The reporter asked, “Ms. Luo Xuan, do you have anything to say? Ms. Wen Shiwu claims you are spreading rumors about her. Do you still stand by your statement?”

“I…”

Luo Xuan was nearly biting her lip until it bled.

But she had already spoken, and there was no turning back now. After all, someone as top-tier as Yu Zheng would surely be too busy to bother with Wen Shiwu and wouldn’t step up to defend her…

No matter how she spun the story, no one could expose her.

So, gritting her teeth, Luo Xuan insisted, “I swear I’m not lying. Everything I said is the truth.”

“Is that so? The truth.”

Wen Shiwu remained calm and composed. “Then I’d like to hear Teacher Luo share in detail what you personally witnessed at the scene, and perhaps clear up some of my confusion along the way.”

“In this video, it’s clearly Yu Zheng who picked me up first, and the kissing illusion was just due to the camera angle. So, how exactly did I…”

“…manage to chase after Yu Zheng relentlessly, fail to win his affection, attempt to force a kiss, and then have him angrily pull me aside and warn me to stay away from him?”

“And please, Teacher Luo, point out exactly which frame of the video showed any intention on my part to force a kiss!”

The live chat erupted in an uproar.

“Right! I rewatched that surveillance footage over and over, and it just doesn’t match Luo Xuan’s story.”

“What I saw was Yu Zheng making the first move too. I don’t get why so many people are blindly criticizing Wen Shiwu…”

“The video does look ambiguous, full of sexual tension and atmosphere, it’s totally shippable! But honestly, it feels more like Yu Zheng has desires on Wen Shiwu.”

“Exactly! The one-armed carry! Holding her high heels! Pinning her against the wall and leaning in close like he was about to kiss her! None of that looks like Wen Shiwu throwing herself at him!”

“Holy crap… Could it be that Yu Zheng is the one pursuing Wen Shiwu? But isn’t he hung up on that white moonlight he’s been pining for ten years?”

Public opinion shifted abruptly.

Even Yu Zheng’s fans, who had previously criticized Wen Shiwu, grew anxious. The analysis made sense, what if it wasn’t Wen Shiwu clinging to him, but their idol who had fallen for her?

Reporter: “I think that’s a valid point.”

Luo Xian was already drenched in cold sweat, regretting her decision to come forward with the “revelation.” She should’ve just leaked the surveillance footage and disappeared!

But now, she was trapped with no way out. “Just because it sounds plausible doesn’t mean what she said is true. I already told you the footage was edited.”

“Teacher Wen, I know it was wrong of me to expose your privacy without permission, but you can’t slander me like this. Everything I said is true… I didn’t spread rumors.”

“As for your earlier statement…”

“Are you implying that you’ve never had any desires on Yu Zheng, that it’s all him chasing you, him taking the initiative, him clinging to you, him being one-sidedly infatuated? That last night, it was him shamelessly harassing you?”

Wen Shiwu: “I…”

She was momentarily speechless under Luo Xuan’s questioning.

The crowd: !!!!!!

Luo Xuan’s words were undeniably sharp. If Wen Shiwu denied it, she would be admitting she had ulterior motives toward Yu Zheng. If she confirmed it, she’d be throwing Yu Zheng under the bus.

But the truth was,

Last night, Yu Zheng had saved her from the security guards. If anyone was at fault, it was her for trying to sneak photos of him. She couldn’t let Yu Zheng take the fall for this.

Luo Xuan smirked triumphantly. “What’s wrong, Teacher Wen? Can’t answer? Could it be that you’re a delusional fangirl with a crush on Yu Zheng, fantasizing about dating him every day?”

“Luo Xuan!” Wen Shiwu was about to explode again.

Her angry expression was even more serious than before: “There’s nothing wrong with openly admitting my fan status. I am indeed Teacher Yu’s career fan and looks fan, I’ve liked him since his debut, but I’m definitely not the girlfriend fan or sasaeng you’re accusing me of being!”

“And I won’t allow you to use my being his fan as an excuse to casually slander him!!!”

“Holy shit! Wen Shiwu really is Yu Zheng’s fan!”

“So, what if she’s a fan? I could say I’m your dad too, would you call me daddy? Then stand right there, I’ll go buy you two pounds of oranges.”

“I’m starting to think Luo Xuan’s argument makes sense again. Sasaeng fans really are less credible.”

“You think, you always think. If we put you in the fence-sitter family tree, even the fence-sitters would be ashamed of you bringing disgrace to the family.”

“Fuck! The plague god is riding on Yu Zheng’s coattails again! She’s clearly delusional about dating Yu Zheng, yet has the nerve to throw dirty water on him???”

“I’ve seen bound feet before, but never a bound brain. When someone brings dirty rumor water right to your doorstep, are you supposed to drink it instead of throwing it back?”

“And you claim Yu Zheng hugged you first! Wake up, stop twisting the truth, since when would Yu Zheng ever be interested in you???”

“Get lost! Our girl doesn’t lack suitors. If she wants to like him, she’ll like him; if she wants a hug, she’ll get one. It’s all your brother’s good fortune!”

The live stream chat erupted into arguments again.

Wen Shiwu anxiously bit her lip, momentarily unsure whether to defend herself first or explain on behalf of her idol, though her fans had already started arguing for her.

Until a commotion came from Luo Xuan’s live stream side, with media exclamations bursting through the audio:

“Oh my god! Yu Zheng is here!”
