Chapter 51: Chapter 49: Lying with a Straight Face

Finally, after another lucky viewer connected to the stream, Chen Jincheng walked back to the center of the stage. “Happy times always fly by,” he said. “Our live stream event is about to come to an end. To close things out, I’ll perform one last original song for everyone, ’Girl.’ It’s a very devoted song, just like me!”

Hearing this, the viewers in the live stream chat all exchanged bewildered glances. It wasn’t surprising that he was bringing out another original, not after “Trajectory.” But him saying it was a “devoted” song, and that it was “just like him”? What the hell was that about?

As if everyone didn’t already know he was the Scumbag Ancestral Master.

Even the girls behind Chen Jincheng stared at their boss, stunned.

“Devotion” didn’t seem to match their boss’s public persona.

Sister Hong rolled her eyes when she heard the word “devotion.” Seriously, her boss had absolutely nothing to do with that word. Still, she immediately took out the USB drive her boss had given her earlier and had someone play the backing track.

Soon, the unique backing track of the DJ version of “Girl” began to play.

Chen Jincheng walked toward the two rows of girls, stopping first in front of Jiang Xiaobai as his voice followed the music:

“For you, I don’t dare to slack off; no matter how tired I am, I’ll put on a front!”

With just that one short line, the song’s attributes—accelerated heartbeat and utter confusion—seemed to take effect. The girls all turned to look at him in unison, almost subconsciously.

Jiang Xiaobai was even more stunned when she heard the lyric. ’Is that scumbag Cheng using this song to say something to me specifically?’ she thought subconsciously.

’Is he confessing to me?’

Her heart started to pound. THUMP-THUMP-THUMP.

But after singing that one line to her, Chen Jincheng had already moved on to Yinyin and began the next line:

“For the worship in your eyes, girl, my story begins because of you. So I’ve learned to be patient; for you, I’ve changed all my bad habits!”

When Yinyin heard this lyric, her heart also subconsciously started racing, threatening to leap out of her chest.

’Does the boss know I worship him?’

’Is he trying to hint at something?’

At that thought, her heart beat even faster. Watching her boss, she seemed to be mustering up some kind of courage.

Jiang Xiaobai, however, instantly became a flustered mess. ’What is this?’

“Girl, I don’t want to see you suffer the same pain… For you, I’d cross mountains and seas; for you, I’d empty my pockets…”

As he sang, Chen Jincheng moved in front of another girl with a great figure, perfectly demonstrating what it meant for a girl listening live to have her heart race and her mind thrown into a tizzy.

He reached out his hand to the girl, and she proactively placed her hand in his. Her face was full of shy embarrassment. When he let go and moved on to another girl, the disappointment in her eyes was plain to see.

“What kind of attitude should I take, so I don’t seem like I’m being bad…”

Chen Jincheng had already walked up to another girl and taken her hand as well.

The thing was, this girl was very proactive. She took the opportunity to lean into his embrace, the feeling of her racing heart making her lose control.

’The boss is so handsome. If only…’

Lao Chen’s camera captured the subtle yearning in her eyes, leaving the live stream audience completely dumbfounded.

After that, they were completely captivated. They watched as Chen Jincheng moved from one girl to the next, and the expressions on each of their faces were just… something else.

Damn, the lyrics really did belong to a very devoted song, or maybe a deeply affectionate one. But for a song like this to be so powerful when sung by a scumbag… was that even possible?

Moreover, a strange emotion seemed to wash over all of them in unison, clearly influenced by the song’s “emotion-stirring” attribute.

All they felt was intense envy. In an instant, they were all imagining themselves in Chen Jincheng’s place.

This feeling of envy grew stronger and stronger as they listened to the song.

This was especially true when Jiang Xiaobai saw another girl take the initiative, just like at a DJ set, and approach Chen Jincheng, draping an arm over his shoulder and starting to dance with him.

Yinyin, never one to admit defeat to Jiang Xiaobai, gritted her teeth and also ran to her boss’s side, showing off her own dance moves with a competitive spirit.

Seeing this, Sister Hong felt it made for great entertainment. The number of viewers lingering in the stream was rising rapidly. At this rate, breaking 100,000+ viewers would be no problem.

So, she immediately waved to Lin Qing and the other girls, pointing toward their boss.

The girls weren’t stupid. They all swarmed their boss, surrounding him in the middle. While he sang, they circled him, showing off their figures and dance moves. They were extremely energetic, and some even took the chance to cop a feel. They’d all started out as GOGO dancers in nightclubs and were quite bold. It wasn’t every day you could get a piece of the boss.

Besides, Sister Hong had ordered it, so it was all perfectly above board.

This, however, made things difficult for Chen Jincheng. ’Damn it, which one of these girls is so bold?’

’We’re live! Is that an appropriate place to be touching me?’

But when the viewers saw him surrounded by a flock of girls, the emotions stirred up by the song reached their peak.

Even the other streamers who were lurking to check out the situation couldn’t help but feel envious. They might have guessed it was scripted, but why were they still so affected by the emotions?

They found themselves wondering if they should also get a group of girls to back them up on their own streams.

In the future, some would even tirelessly try to imitate this, but without a song like “Girl,” they could never replicate it. Even if they sang “Girl,” they wouldn’t have the corresponding attributes.

This was his exclusive song.

As the song ended and the music stopped, the heartbeats of the girls who had been wildly dancing around Chen Jincheng finally returned to normal.

Chen Jincheng, however, was already looking at the live stream data. When he saw the viewer count display “100,000+,” he subconsciously clenched his fist.

Objective complete.

The viewers’ stirred-up emotions also calmed down as the song ended, and the bullet comments began to flood the screen like a tidal wave:

“I finally get what Cheng meant by ’devoted.’ He’s devoted to EVERY girl!”

“Devoted? Not devoted to one person, devoted to all the pretty girls.”

“Seriously, this song from Cheng gives off such a clean, dedicated, and affectionate vibe!”

“To the person above me, isn’t it more like he’s emerged from the mud just to spread it evenly on everyone?”

“LMAO, ’spread it evenly’! He’s just spreading the love around, right?”

“Suddenly, I feel like this song is going to be Cheng’s signature! A devoted song like this is meant to be sung by a scumbag like him.”

“…”

Watching these bullet comments, Chen Jincheng immediately put on a solemn expression. “It seems everyone misunderstands me deeply,” he said gravely. “In truth, I’m a very faithful person. My level of faithfulness definitely exceeds 99% of men, because I never deceive girls or play with their feelings. With girls, it’s always been a true heart for a true heart. Otherwise, I could never have written a song like ’Girl’.”

“In fact, you probably won’t believe me when I say this, but even now, I’m still a virgin.”

Seriously? The moment he said that, Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes went wide as she stared at him. Was that scumbag Cheng spouting bullshit with his eyes wide open?

’Does he have any shame at all?’
