Closer to Revealing My True Self

Chapter 613: Chapter 401 Everyone Knows_1

On the big screen ahead.

Those sharp eyes, with an arrogant and stern posture, bared fangs at the corners of their mouth, scales on their fingers and sharp claws, and that long snake-like tail...

No matter how you put it, an image like this showing up at such an event was indeed somewhat jarring.

Like walking onto the wrong movie set.

If time could be reversed...

He would have definitely firmly refused when Professor Godley sought his authorization!

There was a difference between exposing oneself actively and being exposed passively.

He was completely unprepared!

Inside the venue.

After a brief silence, the chatter erupted again.

A torrent of various emotions swirled around.

Curious, perplexed, those looking for entertainment, those suppressing laughter...

Feeling the pressure washing over him from within the room, Feng Yi controlled the urge to cover his face and the roar inside him.

He took a deep breath and continued to keep a steady demeanor, maintaining a polite and slight smile at the corner of his mouth as if there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

A nearby attendee from an island nation, rich in subculture, seemed to understand, exclaiming with a tone as if finding a kindred spirit, "Amazing!"

Feng Yi: "..."

His gaze was deep as he looked ahead, watching the content related to Professor Godley’s presentation on the screen.

It was neither a compliment nor sarcasm.

The professor included this photo in his presentation not to embarrass Feng Yi but because he had reached the part about the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, and the imaginative projection when one understands a certain animal well.

They were no longer merely creatures of utility in stories, not just stereotypes in the eyes of the public, not the demonized party.

Beyond those animals, there were also the scientific researchers who studied them. Too many enthusiasts were stigmatized, labeled as "eccentrics" by people.

Here, Professor Godley used the snake and Feng Yi as an example, sharing many of his insights.

He released this image because he truly felt it was related to the content and exemplified the "harmony" he spoke of, expressing a love and fondness for snakes.

Yesterday, Godley stumbled upon this photo online, amazed to the point of astonishment, and made a last-minute amendment to the content of his report.

Although it was just a change of an image, he felt that with this change, his presentation was now perfect!

Professor Godley was filled with emotion: "It’s simply wonderful! What could express that harmony, that beautiful emotion and imaginative projection between humans and natural creatures better than this photo?"

Feng Yi: "..."

It’s not me! I didn’t do it!

I don’t have that kind of emotion with snakes!!

And it’s not the kind of harmony you’re imagining!!!

It’s hard to say how Feng Yi made it through that presentation session.

To say it felt like years might be an exaggeration.

Just like that time at the museum, the most embarrassing moment was only for a while, once it passed, it was gone, and his emotions gradually calmed down.

Having already weathered one storm, this new one, though unexpected, could still be dealt with calmly.

Feng Yi sent a message to Yi and Ding. Although Yi didn’t come, Yi’s team was keeping an eye on the information trends online.

It was quiet at first.

Half an hour later.

Local media posted pictures from the event online.

It could be that someone took a photo and sent it to them, or they obtained it from a chat group of one of the attendees.

In any case, the news was out.

Feng Yi’s photo appearing at the conference venue was indeed very newsworthy.

Social platforms were also quickly filled with shares and spread.

When Feng Yi’s museum opened, the news spread from domestic to international audiences.

This time, however, it was spreading from international to domestic.

The self-media’s sense of smell is always so acute, always employing their superb technical means and action efficiency when obtaining target information.

In the domestic scene,

Having just finished shooting an ad, Feng Chi lay listlessly in the nanny van’s seat, listlessly scrolling through his phone.

Feeling too tired to take interest in anything, he was about to throw the phone aside and take a nap when he suddenly came across a piece of news.

Glancing over it, he accurately caught the name "Feng Yi" and then took a closer look...

"Holy shit!"

My bro! Weren’t you just going to a meeting? What kind of meeting was it? Was that meeting even serious?!!

Feng Chi stared at his phone, a mix of shock and confusion on his face.

He even suspected that this news might be a doctored image by some unscrupulous media.

Spreading rumors is just opening your mouth, is news all made up?

Is this even true?

All of a sudden, Feng Chi perked up!

He screenshotted the news and sent it to Feng Yi, asking about the veracity of the event. Without waiting for a reply, he switched to a burner account and went to social media to look for the truth!

The seminar Feng Yi attended wasn’t really making waves domestically, and there hadn’t been an effort to promote it, plus the United Safeguard Bureau was going through an internal overhaul, which played down some information.

With so much news every day, there’s always enough information to consume the ample energy of netizens.

Domestic trending topics about Feng Yi had already faded, and everyone’s attention was captured by fresher news.

But suddenly, information began to surface from various channels, and nobody knew whether it was true or false.

[Fake, right? Though props for the Photoshop skills, but it doesn’t seem right for the occasion.]

[Waiting for the denials [eating melon]]

[Just looked up the conference, seems pretty highbrow, this news is probably fake.]

[But what if it’s true? The more it looks like a wild fabrication, the more likely it is to have actually happened.]

[It seems absurd, yet within the absurdity, there’s a touch of plausibility.]

Because its authenticity was unknown, the news only spread in a small circle.

But before long, a segment of video from the scene was shared online.

This type of report meeting had no confidentiality; a designated person was responsible for filming each session and posting it on the official website.

Those who followed the news took this segment of video from the seminar and edited it before releasing it.

Great, the truth everyone was waiting for was revealed.

[No wonder no official account has come out to deny it!]

[It’s actually true!]

[Why would Feng Yi’s photo appear at such an event? I’m curious about the content that professor presented; is there anyone who can translate?]

[Translation is out [video]]

[It’s going viral on foreign websites too! [image] [image]...]

[So now the whole world knows that a certain Yi is a daydreaming narcissist with a fondness for adolescent fantasies?]

More than these truths emerging from the scene, there also appeared a photo shot by someone present, capturing Feng Yi’s calm and smiling demeanor from below the stage.

A netizen commented: [I always feel this smile carries a rigidity mixed with embarrassment.]

On the other hand, having returned to the hotel from the event, Feng Yi numbly scrolled through his phone.

Setting aside the awkwardness and embarrassment.

Optimistically thinking, if one day his true colors were revealed, whether domestically or internationally, not many would believe it, right?

How does that saying go—

You think he’s put on a disguise, but in reality, he has taken it
