Chapter 15: Trending on the Hot Search

Lin Xiao cleared her throat with great solemnity, the smile on her face growing a few degrees more sincere.

"Oh! Chengzi, you actually have so many of my fans in your livestream room?"

Feng Cheng looked utterly shocked.

*No, little sister, wake up.*

*These are all your anti-fans?!*

Lin Xiao was completely unaware of the mental breakdown occurring inside Feng Cheng's head.

Right now, her sole focus was on trying to protect her precious anti-fans.

Lin Xiao leaned toward the screen, curled her lips in a very friendly manner, and offered a greeting.

"Hello, everyone! I am Lin Xiao. It is a pleasure to meet you all."

Instantly, the anti-fans in the livestream room exploded.

The bullet comments scrolled past like a rushing stream.

【You still have the face to say hello? A few days ago, you disappeared to sell your persona, causing our sister to fail to finish recording her variety show.】

【If you hadn't slacked off halfway through, how could you have affected everyone? The producers and directors must hate your guts.】

【Do you really think you're some young lady of status? You're just a damn washed-up flop, yet you really take yourself seriously. I wonder how the sugar daddy behind you can even stomach someone like you?】

Feng Cheng frowned deeply. Unable to bear it any longer, she spoke up to rebut them.

"Will you people ever stop? This is my livestream room. What right do you have to curse at someone else in my room?"

"If you want to curse, go start your own livestream. Moderators, ban them."

【You think we want to be here? If it weren't for the fact that we couldn't find a place to curse Lin Xiao, who would want to talk in the room of an obscure influencer like you?】

【Exactly, who cares about your livestream.】

With just a few sentences, the anti-fans completely provoked Feng Cheng's fans.

【Are the ladies upstairs sick? If you're sick, go take medicine, okay? Don't go crazy in the livestream.】

【What does this have to do with our Chengzi?】

【Obscure? Look at what your "oppa's" fans are saying, okay? Hilarious! Did nobody tell you not to show up in someone else's livestream with your fan banners?】

The livestream room descended into a chaotic brawl. Lin Xiao hurriedly stepped in to speak and diffuse the situation.

"Everyone, don't fight, don't fight!"

"I know some people dislike my actions, but after all, this is someone else's livestream. You should also mind your words and conduct."

"It wouldn't be good if you accidentally brought bad reputation to your favorite idols."

【As expected, she's still that sarcastic, green-tea type.】

【I feel nauseous just listening to her.】

【If you're nauseous, then don't watch!】

Feng Cheng's fans were undeterred, and the more aggressive ones were even using colorful language, arguing so fiercely that the other group was left speechless.

They could only resort to repeatedly spamming the screen.

Lin Xiao watched the rising popularity with a smile, her expression becoming even more joyful.

The anti-fans in the room watched with growing suspicion.

*Does this person have some kind of special fetish?*

*Why does it feel like their words aren't having any effect at all?*

In less than half an hour, through the hard work and struggle of the anti-fans, they had actually managed to force the relevant hashtags onto the trending list.

#LinXiaoSellsAnimalLoverPersona #LinXiaoXihaiZoo

Seeing the anti-fans so enthusiastic, Lin Xiao's eyes curved into crescents from smiling.

"By the way, since everyone is so enthusiastic, let me introduce you to the Xihai Zoo we are currently visiting."

*Enthusiastic?*

*You call this thing enthusiasm?*

Lin Xiao didn't care at all. She turned to look at Feng Cheng very affectionately and asked, "Excuse me, could I borrow your phone for a moment?"

This was the first time Feng Cheng had seen someone treat her anti-fans this way; she watched, dumbfounded.

She nodded hurriedly out of instinct.

Lin Xiao gave a smiling thanks, then held the phone, "friendly" chatting with the fans while introducing the zoo's situation.

Feng Cheng became increasingly captivated.

It was her first time hearing about such measures regarding the rescue and treatment of wildlife.

Feng Cheng was already very curious about various outdoor adventures, and hearing Lin Xiao's explanations today, she was completely engrossed.

Just then, Lin Xiao's phone suddenly rang, breaking the harmonious atmosphere between the two.

She picked up the phone, and Chu Lian's solemn voice came through immediately.

"Lin Xiao, I just received notice from the Forestry and Grassland Bureau. In ten minutes, a snow leopard is being sent to our zoo. Remember to go out and receive it."

*A snow leopard?*

Lin Xiao's eyes flickered. She instinctively thought of the mother and cub, Xuegao, who had been kept in the animal rescue center a few days ago.

If it really was them...

Hanging up the phone, Lin Xiao turned around and met Feng Cheng's curious gaze.

Because Lin Xiao hadn't avoided her while on the phone.

She had vaguely heard something about animals and receiving guests.

"I'm so sorry, I have some urgent work to attend to right now. But if the fans like me, you can continue to come to my livestream next time. I will announce the location on Weibo."

After saying goodbye to the fans, Lin Xiao handed the phone back to Feng Cheng.

Feng Cheng rubbed her hands together with anticipation, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her.

"Sister Xiao, can I follow you to watch?"

Especially after hearing Lin Xiao say that all the animals in this park were rescued from the wild, she had been extremely curious.

Having finally seized this opportunity, how could she possibly miss it?

Lin Xiao thought about it and decided it was fine.

Of course... it would be even better if the anti-fans could work a little harder to boost the reputation of their Xihai Zoo.

"Alright, then follow me!"

Upon hearing this, the anti-fans immediately began mocking her on the spot.

Lin Xiao turned and led Feng Cheng toward the main gate.

Wang Xuan, having heard the news, also rushed over.

After all, this was Lin Xiao's first time handling this kind of work; he just hoped nothing would go wrong.

Lin Xiao stood beside Feng Cheng, half-heartedly joking with the anti-fans.

Upon learning that Lin Xiao was coming out to receive a new animal, the anti-fans became even more relentless.

【Just watch, this is definitely Lin Xiao's new persona. The fans of you streamers are truly strange; aren't you afraid of people leeching off your fame?】

【Exactly. The trend of animal protection is gradually rising lately, and Lin Xiao really knows how to flock to wherever the scent is sweet.】

【Just wait and see. She's claiming to love animals now and even running off to work at some zoo. When she receives the new animal, don't go making a fool of yourself!】

Looking at the continuous stream of disdain and mockery on the screen, Wang Xuan's face turned pale, and his mind went blank.

What was going on?

He had only gone back to pack his luggage. How had Lin Xiao become the most hated person in the world in the blink of an eye?

The "most hated person" herself noticed nothing at all; she even smiled and replied to them.

"Since you're so worried about me being exposed, you must keep a close eye on my livestream. In the future, I will announce the livestream times on the Xihai Zoo Weibo account, so make sure you don't miss it!"

【Liar! I went to search for it, and I couldn't find any Xihai Zoo at all.】

Lin Xiao covered her mouth and laughed very bashfully. "Then I am truly sorry. I haven't had time to register the Xihai Zoo account yet."

Everyone fell into a momentary silence.

Feng Cheng's eyes were glowing as she looked at Lin Xiao.

*So you can play it like this?!*

At that moment, a large truck rumbled to a stop at the zoo entrance.

Lin Xiao immediately straightened up and walked out of the gate.

Just as the gate opened and before they could step out, they saw a flash of white light pass before their eyes.

In the next second, a fluffy white ball appeared in Lin Xiao's arms.

Everyone:???

*Wait, are you two... that close?*

Anti-fans: *As expected, Lin Xiao is lying again. It's clearly a trained animal.*

The oblivious little snow leopard raised its small head, looking at the person in front of it with an expectant expression, its voice soft and clear.

"Two-legged beast!"
