Chapter 288: Behind The Screen

The Day Before the Wedding – Zinnia’s Livestream

The familiar hum of a makeup studio filled the air as Zinnia adjusted the camera, a soft smile playing on her lips. She hadn’t gone live in a while, and she missed this—the warmth of her Little Flowers and the excitement that always came with sharing her art with them.

Taking a deep breath, she tapped the screen and greeted her audience with her signature enthusiasm.

"Hi, everyone! I’m back!" Zinnia said, waving at the camera.

The chat immediately exploded with messages as her viewers flooded in.

"Goddess Zia! We missed you!"

"Our queen has returned! 🥰"

"Where have you been? We were waiting for you!"

Zinnia chuckled at their excitement before continuing.

"Tomorrow is a very special day for me, but before that, I want to dedicate this day to all my Little Flowers out there who have supported me from the very beginning. This livestream is for you!"

As she spoke, Samuel, who had just been discharged from the hospital, was sitting in the corner with his laptop, completely focused on her livestream. Despite being in the same room, he was fully immersed in sending messages under his fan account, Mr. Sunshine.

His messages popped up instantly in the chat.

Mr. Sunshine:

Mr. Sunshine: I wonder what the theme of her painting will be this time. Does anyone have an idea? Those who can guess correctly will receive a reward!

Samuel smirked to himself as he saw the chat liven up, fans eagerly trying to guess the theme.

"Maybe she’ll paint something romantic, since tomorrow is her special day!"

"I think it will be about nature. She always finds beauty in the simplest things."

"Could it be a self-portrait? Our goddess is so beautiful, it’s about time she paints herself!"

"No way! I bet she’ll paint something related to her journey as an artist!"

Zinnia scrolled through the messages, a warm smile tugging at her lips. But what truly made her laugh was the sight of Samuel, grinning from ear to ear as he continued spamming the chat.

Then, she noticed him nudging Timmy, who was sitting beside him, clearly amused but struggling to keep up.

"Come on, Timmy! Why are you so slow? Give more likes and hearts... Let it rain with hearts!" Samuel instructed. "Also, make an announcement in our Little Flowers Club."

Timmy sighed, shaking his head but obediently typing away. A few moments later, an official message appeared on the screen.

Tiny_Grasshopper: Attention, Little Flowers! Anyone who contributes the most in today’s livestream will receive an exclusive invitation to witness one of the most special moments in Goddess Zia’s life! Be sure to participate in chats and shower her with love!

Lily, who was holding the camera, couldn’t help but chuckle at what she was witnessing. It was her first time joining one of Zinnia’s livestreams, and she never expected to see Samuel—who was usually so serious—acting this way online.

Glancing at her laptop screen, she muttered under her breath, "I didn’t know this is how these two behave online."

Unfortunately for her, the audience had sharp ears.

"Who’s two?" a fan asked in the chat.

"Wait, wait! What does she mean? Is there someone else with our Goddess?!"

"Tell us! We demand answers!"

Zinnia burst into laughter at the sudden shift in focus. The chat, which was already lively, exploded even more.

"Our Goddess Zia’s laughter is like music to my ears!"

"She’s so beautiful when she smiles! I can’t take my eyes off her!"

"Her voice alone can heal a broken heart. Imagine being in the same room as her!"

"Goddess Zia is not only talented in painting but also breathtakingly gorgeous. I think I just fell in love all over again!"

She shook her head playfully and finally decided to get back on track.

"Okay, enough of that, Little Flowers," she said with a teasing smile. "Let’s get to today’s theme!"

Adjusting her seat, she positioned herself in front of a large blank canvas.

"Today, I will paint one of the most special moments of my life," she announced.

Lily zoomed in on the blank canvas as Zinnia picked up her brush and dipped it into the first stroke of color.

With each movement of her brush, the image slowly came to life—the sun casting a golden glow over the ocean, soft waves crashing against the shore, footprints in the sand. As more details emerged, it became clear that the painting depicted four figures at the beach.

It was during her prenuptial photoshoot with Samuel.

Zinnia painted herself, Samuel, Lily, and Timmy standing together by the shore. The colors were vibrant, full of warmth and happiness, capturing the essence of the moment perfectly.

The chat filled with admiration.

"This is stunning! The details are incredible!"

"I love how much emotion she pours into her art. You can feel the love in this painting!"

"Is that... a prenuptial scene?! OMG, it’s so romantic!"

"The way she paints emotions is just breathtaking. Truly a masterpiece!"

After nearly an hour, Zinnia finally set down her brush and admired the finished painting. She turned back to the camera with a smile.

"I hope you all enjoyed today’s livestream," she said. "But before I go, I have one last announcement."

The chat paused, waiting in anticipation.

"The person who contributed the most in today’s livestream will receive an invitation to my wedding tomorrow."

As soon as she said it, the chat went wild.

"OMG! So lucky for today’s winner! I wish I had participated earlier!"

"I was late! Nooo! I lost my chance!"

"I should have sent more hearts! I regret everything!"

"Ahhh! I want to attend our Goddess’s wedding!"

"Will you livestream the wedding for us, Zia_L? Please, we need to witness it!"

Zinnia laughed at the overwhelming response.

"We’ll see," she teased. "For now, I’ll leave you all with this. Thank you so much for joining me today. I love you all, my Little Flowers!"

With one last smile, she ended the livestream, leaving behind thousands of excited, envious, and eager fans still buzzing with excitement.
