Mocked for Being Blind, I Made the School Beauty Regret It Forever - Chapter 17

“Chen An, that blind guy, why are you watching him? Is he trying to sell a sob story on stage?”

“Sorry, I’m skipping his segment entirely.”

Some netizens scoffed at that comment.

Although some were determined not to watch, others couldn’t help but click on the video featuring Chen An.

On screen, Chen An sat in a chair, holding a guitar, softly humming a tune that instantly captivated the viewers.

Just two or three lines of lyrics were enough to draw many into a trance.

In no time, a lot of people were unsettled.

“It seems we misunderstood Chen An.”

“Why hasn’t the competition aired yet? Just those two lines, and I’m already looking forward to the whole song.”

“Will someone like me be pitied? This is beautifully written.”

“We attacked a blind guy just based on some rumors; he must have known, otherwise how could he write such lyrics?”

Just watching a snippet brought many netizens to tears and even regret, making those who had vowed never to watch unable to resist.

After seeing it, they joined the ranks of the repentant.

I really should die.

In the Star of Tomorrow director’s team, Chen Xu was grinning from ear to ear.

Watching the shift in public opinion online, he chuckled.

The video edits were his doing, successfully grabbing attention and heat while also managing to redeem Chen An halfway.

As for why it was only halfway, it was because just one or two lines of lyrics wouldn’t move too many people.

The guy behind the smear campaign would surely buy another wave of trolls.

To truly redeem him, they would have to wait until the official competition aired.

In the hotel where Cai Kun was staying, he sat in front of his computer, dressed in overalls, his expression dark as he observed the shifting public sentiment online.

He hadn’t expected that this guy could change some netizens’ attitudes with just two lines of lyrics.

At the competition venue, the advancing contestants couldn’t see the performances of those who came after them, so as the last to perform, Chen An’s song was known only to the on-site mentors and the director team.

Cai Kun certainly didn’t believe that a single song could turn things around for him.

“Hey, buy me another five thousand trolls. I want that kid to die before the competition airs.”

Cai Kun dialed a number, speaking fiercely.

He wanted this guy to know the consequences of crossing him; the future star wasn’t someone any random cat or dog could provoke.

Thinking about Chen An’s fate, Cai Kun smirked insidiously.

The day before the competition aired, Chen An was completely unaware of what was happening online.

Being blind, his main task every day was to familiarize himself with the layout of his room.

However, it was a bit awkward that several times he accidentally stumbled into Luo Shiyu’s room, mistaking it for the bathroom, almost dropping his pants on the spot.

This naturally frightened Luo Shiyu quite a bit; she thought Chen An had some peculiar habits.

Fortunately, it was all a misunderstanding.

Afterward, she pondered what she would do if Chen An really had such peculiar preferences.

After much thought, lying in bed all night, she finally arrived at an answer in her heart.

What else could she do? She would accept him, because doing so was simply too cool! ヽ(°▽°)ノ

Luo Shiyu didn’t tell Chen An about the uproar online.

She just wanted Chen An’s world to be free of such noisy distractions.

He is responsible for focusing on the competition, while she will handle everything else for him.

“Miss, we’ve found out who’s been buying trolls to blacken Chen An.”

Luo Shiyu answered the phone, a respectful voice coming from the other end.

“Who is it?” Luo Shiyu’s voice carried a hint of anger.

After such a long period of online harassment, she had already guessed that someone had paid for trolls to stir up trouble.

“It’s a trainee named Cai Kun from Beihai Entertainment; he’s also participating in the Star of Tomorrow selection.” The voice on the other end said.

Upon hearing this, Luo Shiyu understood.

Those trainees in the domestic entertainment industry were all arrogant; something must have happened during the show that made this guy hold a grudge against Chen An.

So after the first episode was recorded, he bought trolls to smear him.

But Chen An hadn’t said anything in front of her; he must have been worried about her feelings.

Feeling a bit touched, Luo Shiyu’s tone grew colder.

“If he’s spending money on trolls, then we’ll buy some too. My Platinum Entertainment has never been afraid of anyone in this regard.”

As the big brother of a top domestic entertainment company, it was nothing to completely ruin someone’s reputation with just a few clicks.

“Understood, Miss.” The voice on the other end immediately agreed, but then hesitated before saying, “Miss, it seems that Mr. Luo has become aware of your situation and has recently started paying attention to Chen An.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Shiyu’s expression suddenly became a bit unnatural.

It felt as if her most cherished secret had been discovered by her parents.

Although she knew that with her father’s capabilities, it was only a matter of time before he found out.

“But don’t worry, Miss, Mr. Luo hasn’t said anything.” The person on the other end sensed Luo Shiyu’s silence and hurriedly added.

“Mm, I understand.” Luo Shiyu sighed in relief.

Hearing the obvious relief in her voice, the person on the other end couldn’t help but feel envious.

What kind of luck did this guy named Chen An have to win the favor of their young lady?

The most infuriating part was that this guy was actually blind.

If the group of rich boys chasing after the young lady found out, wouldn’t they all be questioning their lives in anger?

Shaking his head, after envying Chen An a bit, he hung up the phone.

Since the young lady personally instructed it, arrangements had to be made quickly.

It was just a pity for that guy named Cai Kun; of all the people to offend, he chose their young lady.

This guy would find it difficult to navigate the entertainment industry in the future. (。-ω-)

After hanging up the phone, Luo Shiyu gazed thoughtfully in the direction of Chen An’s room, unconsciously biting her lip.

Recalling that she initially just wanted to make it up to him, she hadn’t expected to be drawn in by Chen An’s talent, unable to extricate herself.

Her father only knew of his existence; he probably didn’t know that Chen An was already living with her.

Otherwise, with that old man’s temper, he would have stormed in long ago.

Luo Shiyu suddenly felt a heavy weight in her palms, her delicate face gradually becoming resolute.

It seemed that in the future, she would have to protect Chen An from online harassment while also keeping him hidden from her father.

Her mission was quite heavy.

The next day, amidst the anticipation of netizens, Star of Tomorrow aired on time.

Many people had been waiting in front of their phones, looking forward to the show.

Among all the viewers, only a portion were there to support their trainee brother, while a much larger group was drawn in by the previous video, eager to see Chen An sing.
