Chapter 25 Qing Daiyu
[Bamboo Shadows Accompanying Graceful Dance Livestream]
Bamboo Shadows Dancing in the Clear Sky made no attempt to explain her sarcastic remarks to Tao Zimo earlier, as if she had simply been chatting with Tao Tao without any intention of targeting her.
She lowered her head slightly, a few strands of hair slipping down her cheeks, and when she looked up again, her eyes were already shrouded in a misty haze.
"Actually...sometimes when I think about it," her voice became soft and gentle, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor, a stark contrast to her earlier aggressive demeanor.
"Language is truly the most powerless thing. Spoken words are like dandelions scattered in the wind; you can't hold onto them, and they might even... prick and hurt someone."
She gave a self-deprecating laugh, a forced smile. "I guess I'm just not likable. I'm clumsy with words and can never learn to be charming and tactful."
Next time I'll be more blunt; maybe the truth is just that unpleasant to hear.
[Here it comes! Qingqing's three-piece "broken" aesthetic set: downcast eyes + watery gaze + soft vibrato! A classic among classics!]
Who bullied our sensitive and fragile Qingbao? Hugs! Mommy's heart is breaking!
[Warning: High-energy content ahead! Qing Dynasty's Daiyu is making a limited-time return! Today's "The Burial of Flowers" themed campaign is about to begin!]
"Clumsy with words"? Where's the energy you had when you were roasting Tao Tao? Are you putting on a Sichuan opera face-changing act here? (Funny)
[Waaaa, Zhu Bao, don't be sad! You're just too honest! Others are just too cunning to understand!]
Got it! Translation of "Unlikable": Quick, give me your votes to comfort my wounded heart! #DecodingTheAnchor'sCode
[I couldn't hold it in any longer! She switched from 'Master of Yin and Yang' to 'Sister Lin' in a flash—I give her acting a 99 out of 1, I'm deducting one point so you don't get too cocky!]
[Protect our little drama queen! Where are you guys? Quickly sew Qingbao's heart back together with a gift!]
[The previous commenter hit the nail on the head! "Misunderstandings abound" = "You've upset me, hurry up and make up with me!" Those who understand the joke, send some gifts!]
Zhu Ying didn't seem to be reading the comments, or rather, the direction of the comments was exactly what she wanted.
She sniffed, her voice tinged with sorrow: "This world is too noisy, I just want to protect a small, quiet corner in my heart... just like... just like..."
She paused, seemingly searching for a suitable metaphor, and finally sighed softly, "...like a withered lotus after a rain, though disheveled, it also exudes a stubborn beauty."
Protecting this withered lotus also needs a little light and warmth...
Her gaze drifted almost imperceptibly over the location of the gift effect.
This sentimental and slightly affected "lament for spring and autumn" made passersby who rushed in hoping to get some gossip excited, only to leave completely bewildered.
No, sis, you actually argued with someone, and this is the result?
And what are you even talking about?
This is so inexplicable. It feels like picking up a book of beautiful words and phrases and randomly choosing a few to read aloud.
The content isn't important; just get the atmosphere right.
Passersby were puzzled, but the older men and women were completely won over by this gesture and began to offer gifts.
【In the live stream "Ink-dyed Green Robe" gave away 10 "Ink Rhyme Landscapes" (30000 audio coins) in the "Bamboo Shadows Dancing" room】The scroll unfolds, and a landscape ink painting slowly emerges, accompanied by falling ink-colored petals.
【“Roses Wither When Crowned” in the live stream room “Bamboo Shadows Accompanying Clear Dance” gave away “Bright Moon Among the Pines” (30000 Sound Coins) x10】The scroll is unrolled, the pine branches sway gently, the bright moon shines down its clear light, and the flowing clouds drift slowly by.
【“Going Alone” sent “Lotus Breeze Sending Fragrance” (10000 Sound Coins) x10 in the live broadcast room “Bamboo Shadows Accompanying Clear Dance”】The scroll unfurls, lotus flowers bloom, dragonflies skim the water, and water ripples with aquamarine blue.
As Zhu Ying watched the score steadily rise, the mist in her eyes seemed to dissipate slightly, and a grateful smile finally appeared on her lips. She softly said to the camera, "Thank you... thank you for understanding my clumsiness and anxiety..."

After one minute, Shu Hua took first place with 4 million points, followed by Tao Tao with 3 million points. The other four were all in the millions of points, with little difference between them.
Since it's going to be a multi-round game, and this is only the first minute, the older players are holding back.
Rather, they were all somewhat surprised that painter Shu and Tao Tao's family had started with such a strong wind from the very beginning.
The clever and calculating ones are already planning to give up this round, simply take last place, and decide on the rules that are most advantageous to them in the next round.
Looking at the real-time rankings, Chengcheng clapped her hands with a smile: "Shuhua and Taotao have started so strong! It seems everyone is really motivated today!"
Her gaze swept across the five people on the screen, finally settling on Shu Hua. "Shu Hua, you're in first place now. What game do you want to play during the process?"
Shu Hua tapped her chin with her index finger, as if she was thinking.
Yan Ying couldn't sit still when she thought of her brilliant idea. Seeing that Shu Hua hadn't thought of it, she directly suggested, "How about playing Truth or Dare? It's exciting and effortless, and it'll be a good opportunity for everyone to 'get to know each other better'."
Her voice trailed off meaningfully, her gaze seemingly casually sweeping over the bamboo shadows and Tao Zhimo.
They were so eager to watch the drama unfold that they weren't even trying to hide it.
Her fans in the live stream were so moved they wanted to facepalm.
Shu Hua's eyes lit up. She had actually thought about this, but then felt that it might be too obvious to be a spectator.
Shouldn't she tone it down a bit? I didn't expect there to be other people with the same hobby.
Since someone suggested it, she was "forced" to accept it.
"Okay." Shu Hua agreed as soon as Yan Ying finished speaking, though it was really a bit of a stretch.
Shu Hua: "Then our next step will be a truth-or-dare dialogue, with each of us taking turns asking questions. I won't ask any questions; you can close the loop yourselves."
The order would be Chengcheng, Xuenuo, Yanying, Zhuying, Taotao, Chengcheng.
Given that everyone will gain points during the process, the first place may change, but asking questions about that would create chaos.
Why don't we ask all the questions first, and then look at the scores?
Back then, the winner didn't have to tell the truth, and the order in which the questions were asked could be determined.
Hearing Shu Huading's order of questions, which put the two parties involved together, it seemed that she also wanted to watch the drama unfold, and Yan Ying was the first to agree.
Anyway, she can't be number one, so it doesn't matter.
Although Chengcheng felt the order was a bit awkward, what could she do when Shuhua, her own Crown Princess, brought it up?
Yes, she definitely wasn't doing it because she wanted to gossip; she was forced into it by capital.
All three agreed. Although Xuenuo felt that having Chengcheng ask her questions wouldn't be very entertaining, she didn't say much because of her own persona.
With more than half agreeing, it's no use for the two bystanders to have any objections.
Shu Hua nodded with satisfaction and a touch of pride. She was really good at deciding the process and punishments today; she truly lived up to her reputation.
Shu Hua: "Let's start with Chengcheng. Ask Xue Nuo."
Sweet Orange knew that the focus of this round of truth-or-dare was on Zhu Ying and Tao Tao, so she stopped thinking about the show's effect and asked a simple question, "What is the most touching thing that has happened to Xue Nuo since she entered the industry?"
Xue Nuo's sweet smile was slightly stiff. Although she had expected Cheng Cheng's question to be conventional, it was still too routine.
The main problem is that she's answered similar questions before, so this is really not interesting.
Despite his inner complaints, he still wore a grateful expression on his face and began reciting the short essay he had previously written to thank his fans.
Of course, she did condense her words, basically just expressing her gratitude and saying that she was most touched by her fans' love for her.
[Help... I think I heard the same script at the last birthday party.]
[Nuobao is so honest! This shows that he's genuinely grateful, otherwise he wouldn't have said it the same way (dog head holding a rose.jpg)]
Okay, okay, no need to thank me, let's move on to the next one, I'm ready for some more gossip.
