They were confused.
A four-year-old girl, even with heaven-defying talent.
But with an uncertain future, why would these official accounts personally step in?
Especially since, aside from Huawen Art Studio and the Chinese Artists Association, their wording was relatively neutral.
The Chinese Calligraphy and Painting Association and the Chinese National Painting Association’s statements didn't sound like official pronouncements, but rather like personal opinions.
So, why?
Was it worth it?
Not only were industry insiders confused, but the spectators were equally perplexed.
I just questioned the authenticity of the video, didn't I?
How did I suddenly attract so many big names? Don't they know we common folk are easily scared?
At this moment, someone finally remembered the influence Jian Sheng displayed during Jian Junruo's previous scandal of having a child out of wedlock.
Those who had experienced it before now explained what had happened last time.
Those sued by Jian Xiuhuan were now facing court.
And those who apologized but still dared not delete their comments, leaving themselves open to repeated criticism, no one knew what they had gone through before apologizing.
As a result, people gasped in shock and then quietly deleted all the harsh words they had spoken.
I'm too timid, I really don't dare to do anything.
Some even directly tagged those who were freeloading.
"Hey, [Name], didn't you say you would live-stream eating a keyboard? Hurry up and do it! We're eager to watch."
That person was actually tagged and appeared.
"It's not known if it's true or not, it's not officially verified so it's not necessarily true."
The onlookers were shocked by his shamelessness.
"Some people are soft all over, only their mouths are hard!"
But no matter what others said, the person who was supposed to eat the keyboard, after posting a message of denial, completely disappeared.
This time, no matter how others tagged him, he wouldn't come out.
Someone traced his previous comments and found that his comment about live-streaming eating a keyboard had been deleted.
He had even subscribed to Weibo premium and changed his Weibo nickname.
After evidence was erased online, the keyboard-eating incident naturally fizzled out.
However, others whose curiosity had been thoroughly piqued by Jian Sheng found the program's live stream through the link.
As the online heat continued to escalate, more and more viewers flooded into the program's live stream.
Although many people were disappointed and left when they learned that Jian Sheng stopped painting after earning enough for travel expenses,
A significant portion still remained, driven by curiosity about the little girl.
Some even watched the live stream while simultaneously viewing previous live stream recordings on other devices.
Hu Guangxu was so delighted by this traffic that his smile almost split his face.
He thought that agreeing to Jian Xiuhuan's request to have him and Jian Sheng appear on the show was a decision he wouldn't regret!
Jiang Bin asked with some worry, "Won't the commotion Jian Sheng is causing cause any problems?"
Hu Guangxu glanced at him, "Jian Sheng isn't affected, and everything is developing in a good direction. What problems could there be?"
Jiang Bin worried, "There might be powerful figures behind Jian Sheng. Won't they cause trouble for our program?"
Hu Guangxu patted his shoulder, "Little Jiang, you're just too cautious about everything."
"Our program is bringing her popularity and heat, as well as better future development."
"As long as we keep an eye on things and don't let anything happen to Jian Sheng while she's with us, there won't be any problems."
Jiang Bin sighed and continued to observe the status of the three groups of guests on the live stream.
A faint sense of worry persisted in his heart.
He knew Director Hu had no ill intentions, but Director Hu's approach of prioritizing traffic could easily damage a guest's reputation due to the heat.
This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened, but other celebrities and artists dared not confront the program.
Moreover, although their reputations were somewhat damaged, they did indeed gain benefits from the program, and any grievances were kept to themselves.
But Jian Sheng was different. Would the people behind her truly care about popularity, heat, or traffic?
Hopefully, nothing serious would happen.
He looked at the live stream feed.
After bidding farewell to the young girl who bought the painting, Jian Sheng tidied up her work area.
Xiao Yufeng consciously stepped forward and took the backpack onto his own shoulders.
However, when his gaze fell on Jian Sheng's face, it suddenly paused.
Jian Sheng tilted her head, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Yufeng pointed to the little girl's left cheek, "You have ink on your face."
Jian Sheng realized, it must have been from when she was holding the brush in her mouth because there was nowhere to put it, and she accidentally smudged her face.
"Brother, do you have tissues?"
"Uh... I forgot to bring them."
Xiao Yufeng scratched his head awkwardly. Like many boys, he didn't have the habit of carrying tissues with him.
"Don't move!"
Seeing Jian Sheng about to reach for her face, Xiao Yufeng quickly stopped her.
"Our little Yu is actually capable of being gentle and reliable~"
"Little Yu, go buy a pack of tissues and a bottle of water, then use the tissues dipped in water to wipe it. Absolutely do not let Sheng Bao wipe it with her hands, otherwise, the ink will easily spread everywhere."
Xiao Yufeng's fans in the bullet comments expressed their admiration, feeling that their cub had finally grown up.
Immediately after, they saw Xiao Yufeng indeed stop Jian Sheng from wiping her face with her hands.
Then, he did it himself!
He did it himself!
He did it himself!
"???" (When I type a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, it's that *you* have a problem.)
"Damn, Xiao Yufeng, are you out of your mind? I just praised you for growing up, and now you're so stupid that I want to smash my keyboard?"
"I've already covered my eyes and dare not watch. Xiao Yufeng, just be stupid to death!"
If anyone unaware saw this, they would think these scolding commenters, who seemed unable to bear it, were Xiao Yufeng's anti-fans.
But only Xiao Yufeng's fans knew that those who called him by his full name and cursed him were his true die-hard fans.
As the saying goes, the deeper the love, the sharper the hate.
Only those who truly knew him understood that while he could be incredibly reliable when serious, he could also be so foolish that it drove people to despair.
As everyone expected.
When Xiao Yufeng instinctively bent down and reached out to wipe the ink off Jian Sheng's face.
The ink, which hadn't completely dried, spread across Jian Sheng's face as he moved his hand.
Looking at Jian Sheng's face covered in ink on his hand, Xiao Yufeng froze in place.
Jian Sheng, guessing what had happened, also froze.
"Brother Xiao... you didn't, you didn't wipe the ink off my face with your bare hand, did you?"
Xiao Yufeng forced a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Sheng Sheng, you can let me explain."
Jian Sheng took a deep breath, her eyes slightly widening, her small face filled with a seriousness that presaged a storm.
"I'm listening to your sophistry."
Xiao Yufeng looked miserable. He glanced at the oppressive aura emanating from Jian Sheng's small frame, then at the ink on his hand.
Taking a deep breath, he said earnestly, "Sheng Sheng, don't move for now."
Then, while Jian Sheng instinctively obeyed and remained still.
Xiao Yufeng reached out his ink-smeared fingers, spread them, and quickly drew two lines on both of Jian Sheng's cheeks.
