Chapter 180: Chapter 180: With Dreams, Everyone is Amazing

Delphine’s Weibo followers skyrocketed at a pace visible to the naked eye, with countless captivated fans joining the league of "Veggies."

But these fans soon discovered that their idol was outrageously lazy, going months without posting a single Weibo update. Instead, her goofy manager busily stirred up old news every day—starting a topic one day, sharing funny anecdotes from filming the next. The "Veggies" nibbled on these stale scraps half-willingly, all while tearfully begging for fresh content. "If we keep chewing on leftovers, we’re gonna end up with stomach issues!"

Just as the fans were sinking into despair, the goofy manager dropped a bombshell—Delphine was going live-streaming.

What?! The "Veggies" were utterly dumbfounded. Their aloof and mysterious idol was going to live-stream like an online influencer?! Was this manager raised on eating shi?

Though they cussed the manager out like crazy, they still eagerly camped out in the live-stream room hours ahead of time. Excited but secretly nervous, they wanted to make sure they wouldn’t miss her first-ever live-stream if the room got overloaded with viewers.

The decision to live-stream was actually Delphine’s own idea. Kyla Zamora had noticed the shocking growth in Weibo followers and felt her idol hadn’t interacted with fans in ages. She suggested Delphine do an interview special.

Delphine didn’t care much for the stifling atmosphere of recording studios or the canned Q&A scripts handed out ahead of time. Like a puppet reciting lines, it felt unnatural to her. So instead, she suggested doing a live-stream.

The content of the live-stream wasn’t disclosed, but her Weibo fans were in an uproar nonetheless. The goofy manager started another topic: "What do you wish Delphine would live-stream?" The answers below ranged wildly.

Live-streaming time was set for 1 p.m., the laziest hour of a deep autumn afternoon. The Lì Manor was silent; even the servants had gone for a midday rest.

Delphine set up a canvas and paints in the yard of the old red-brick house, while Kyla Zamora fine-tuned the streaming camera. By then, the live-stream room was already packed to capacity—3 million, 3.3 million, 4 million viewers. The camera remained fixed on a corner of the yard, focused purely on a sturdy pomegranate tree.

The lush pomegranate tree burst with vibrant fruit hanging heavy from its branches: deep red, vivid green, utterly captivating.

The live-stream room’s virtual gifts flew like crazy—rows of rocket launchers and airplanes flooded the screen.

"Now I’m craving pomegranates. Whose tree grows them this good?"

"So curious about what our goddess will live-stream. Betting fifty cents that this’ll be interesting."

"Where is the live-stream happening? Can someone big-brain this for me?"

When the live-stream officially started, the camera shifted slightly, revealing a familiar figure. Delphine wore a warm white knit sweater, loose gray cotton-linen pants, and stood sideways to the camera as she mixed paints, then began painting the pomegranate tree in front of her.

Another wave of rocket launchers whooshed onto the screen, accompanied by endless lines of screaming in the subtitles.

Turns out, the idol was live-streaming a painting session.

"The goddess is stunning no matter what she streams. I want to sponsor her."

"Whimper, whimper. Only our idol can elevate influencer live-streaming to this kind of level. Painting live? So artsy, so classy!"

"Somebody shut up the whining wannabes above me. Just watch the stream like grown-ups. Stop acting so amazed."

"Is it just me, or did her personal style evolve today? The combo of warm white and cool gray is so sleek—classic minimalist vibes."

"Holy crap, her painting skills are legit. I’m an art student."

"Reporting in as a literature major who’s dead from studying calculus."

"Oscar Lewis Excavator operator here, reporting for duty!"

"Goddess Harvester checking in!"

"Haha, Goddess Harvester. Dreams make anyone amazing!"

The stream’s feed remained smooth and stable the entire time. As the lazy autumn sunlight climbed onto her easel, while the live-stream chat buzzed with chaotic chatter, Delphine had already painted the pomegranate tree almost fully. The ripened deep red and purplish fruits had viewers drooling uncontrollably.

Delphine laid down her paintbrush and raised her eyes toward the pomegranates she’d been dreaming of for years.

The live-stream’s soothing, sentimental background music continued to play as "Veggies" and a swarm of random viewers debated, spammed rocket launchers, and cracked jokes in the chat. Suddenly, the peaceful painting live-stream took an unexpected turn.
