Closer to Revealing My True Self

Chapter 604: Chapter 395 Deep Love_1

In the celebratory music, the lion dance troupe manipulated the lion’s head, its large eyes blinking one after the other. Then leaping around, they ran in circles, reveling in joy.

Inside the hall, a moment of eerie silence descended.

Everyone looked up at the statue standing in the center position.

The carefully designed lighting allowed the guests to see every detail clearly.

The entire scene was so... unexpected!

What’s this?

What did I just see?

Is all this real?

It seemed that something strange had appeared.

How should I, being here, rationally perceive all this?

In a trance, as if the philosophical realm of "I think, therefore I am" had been shaken.

At this moment, a media reporter demonstrated high professional integrity by quickly picking up the camera to take a picture while others were still stunned.

Among the guests, many had seen grand scenes before and quickly regained their composure, their thoughts and souls falling back into place.

After the eerie stillness, everyone rapidly adjusted their expressions and began merrily engaging in business flattery.

The atmosphere grew lively again.

As if the collective silence that had just taken place had never existed.

Yet, the glances toward Feng Yi were subtle—with probing, curiosity, and various unspoken speculations.

Feng Yi: ...

Keep smiling!

Though I had mentally prepared myself and thought my ability to handle awkwardness was sufficient to deal with social death, confronted with such a situation under the gaze of so many people...

My scalp still tingled with embarrassment!

No one knew that Feng Yi had been so nervous moments ago that he held his breath.

Even so, his face remained perfectly composed.

The first guests to arrive actually had great control over their expressions, not showing anything too exaggerated, and thereafter tried to behave naturally.

But Feng Yi’s perceptiveness allowed him to clearly discern their true emotions.

And these emotional signals directly reflected the inner workings of the guests’ minds!

An expected brainstorm!

Feng Yi: As long as I’m not embarrassed...

Taking the first step to test this world, it had to be firm!

Continue to maintain the smile.

Then, Feng Yi met the gaze of Feng Chi, who was looking his way.

Tears began to well up in Feng Chi’s eyes.

Feng Yi: ???

Feng Chi was overwhelmed with emotion at that moment: my brother really did cherish me!

When he had given Feng Yi a gift before, he had used photo editing software to create a human body with a snake’s tail for Feng Yi.

So, in Feng Chi’s view, the visually striking statue standing in the center position was enough proof that Feng Yi had embraced his creativity!

This was recognition!

This was valuing him!

This was undoubtedly a testament to brotherly affection!

He was so proud that he had to take a second look!

Feng Chi’s steps, originally heading toward the "ancient serpent," pivoted, and he scurried back happily to continue admiring and take a few more selfies with the statue!

Ah, I wonder if I can post these on social media. I’ll ask later!

Feng Yi, unable to keep up with Feng Chi’s train of thought, gave a puzzled glance in that direction and then stopped paying attention. He proceeded to the front, suppressing the awkward and embarrassing feelings in his heart, and led some of the guests around the collectibles gallery.

The other guests who did not follow began to explore freely.

Brother Bao was at the front, listening to Feng Yi describe some things about the gallery, but his attention was not on the snake exhibits; it was on the various "artistic models."

Brother Bao’s look toward Feng Yi was profound.

A businessman who knew Brother Bao approached and asked softly, "Ah, these... do they carry some special meaning? Or is this style the trend with young people nowadays?"

Brother Bao replied with a calmness that came from guessing the truth, "You outsiders wouldn’t know. A long time ago, our Feng Clan worshipped Nuwa. It’s just that over time, with different clan philosophies and divisions, each branch developed its own beliefs."

Some pray to the God of Wealth, others to Guan Yu, and many to Buddha or Bodhisattva, or other Daoist deities.

Even Brother Bao would, according to the situation and business interests, selectively offer prayers.

But Nuwa is different; she represents another kind of faith.

At most, he would place paintings or statues of Nuwa on display, not like Feng Yi who was... uh... fervent?

It seems the Feng Clan has produced a fervent devotee.

With such thoughts in mind, Brother Bao’s smile relaxed, giving an "I understand" expression:

"Moreover, Feng Yi is born in the year of the snake, and his profession is related to snakes, so it’s quite normal for him to have this inclination."

The man, upon hearing this, felt there was some sense to it.

It seemed to make sense why the gallery was not open to the public.

Of course, it could be that because it wasn’t open to the public, Feng Yi let the collections within the gallery express himself fully.

Many guests shared this thought.

Not everyone jumped to religious conclusions.

Most just saw it as a bold artistic act and personal hobby.

Thus, someone remarked, "Ahem... Well... This is a very bold design, quite unforgettable!"

And unforgettable it was indeed, once seen!

Near the entrance where the statue stood.

The livestream host didn’t immediately follow.

In such a gathering, he was just a small-time broadcaster and certainly not an important person among today’s many guests.

To facilitate live streaming, he also had to consider other guests’ thoughts, avoiding filming those who shouldn’t be filmed.

When he entered the hall, he was at the back of the group, and his phone camera wasn’t directly aimed inside at first.

He originally planned to film only after the important figures at the front had left. Therefore, when entering the gallery, his phone’s camera was angled upwards, not capturing the people in front.
