My Live Broadcast Room Can Teach You Everything (4): 

If Si Qi’s mecha tutorial had already drawn some attention within the academy, then Chu Feng’s arrival completely pushed that attention to a new peak.

Many people immediately shared the livestream with their friends, and fan groups online who followed Chu Feng spread the word that he had shown up.

Countless people jumped up the moment they saw the message and rushed into the livestream through the link.

Inside the stream, when Si Qi saw Chu Feng appear, he told Xiu Xiu to check the identity of Chu Feng in this world.

Xiu Xiu quickly reported: [The original host’s uncle’s cousin is your stepmother. Your father, Lord Main God, is currently the highest ruler of the Star Alliance.]

Si Qi thought quickly: [You specifically mentioned the original host’s uncle. Are you trying to say that Chu Feng showing up here is also related to him?]

Xiu Xiu: [Yes!]

[Yesterday afternoon, the original host’s uncle found his cousin and asked Lord Main God to protect you at school, so that you wouldn’t be bullied by Si Yuan.]

[Last night, Lord Main God contacted some senior students and teachers from the military administration department, asking them to look after you.]

[Today, Lord Main God heard you started livestreaming here, so he came over to take a look.]

Si Qi curled his lips: [What, I thought Chu Feng came here to play out some pitiable-boy-and-patron scenario, throwing star coins at me on first meeting or something.]

At first sight of the dazzling starlight, and then seeing Chu Feng’s name among it, Si Qi felt a tiny spark of excitement, letting his imagination run wild.

Xiu Xiu: [囧]

Si Qi snorted: [Boring.]

When Chu Feng showed no sign of trying to chat further, Si Qi simply said “See you next week at the same time” and logged off.

The many students and new fans who had hoped to see more interaction between Si Qi and Chu Feng, or for Chu Feng to say something: “……”

So cool? He just left without even saying thank you?

Chu Feng himself, who had prepared a whole speech in his mind just in case Si Qi noticed him and he had a chance to show goodwill: “……”

Fans: “Aaaahhh Chu Feng!!!”

Chu Feng steadied himself and said in the chat: “I’ll be back at this time next week. See you all then.”

The fans, seeing his username, grew even more excited: “Ahhh it really is Chu Feng!!”

“Who’s this streamer? Why did Chu Feng say he’ll come back next time?”

“I’ll definitely be here next week!!!”

Some people quickly clicked on the replay and realized it was a livestream teaching how to pilot mechas, leaving them stunned.

“Does Chu Feng like mechas? How come I never knew?”

“Ahhh, I declare, from now on I’m living in this livestream room and never leaving!!”

Among the fans, some with powerful information networks quickly dug up everything about Si Qi: “This streamer is also a top student at the comprehensive university, but not in Chu Feng’s year—he’s a first-year freshman.”

“This freshman also had a conflict with the young master of the Si family before. Rumor had it he was an illegitimate son of the Si family, but later it was said to be a misunderstanding—the young master intentionally set him up. Wait, I remember that the Si family’s young master is distantly related to Chu Feng’s stepmother, right? One of the university administrators, the future head of the Li family, Li Zhaoran, has to call Chu Feng ‘cousin once removed.’ So is Chu Feng publicly declaring Si Qi’s innocence here? Or choosing sides in advance? Maybe warning Si Yuan not to mess with Si Qi anymore?”

“And also, Chu Feng saying he’ll come back next time—wasn’t that indirectly promoting the livestream? Si Qi’s family conditions aren’t great, so he’s probably trying to earn money through streaming. Chu Feng found out and appeared, showing his face to help attract popularity…”

The students were stunned: “Wait a second, you fans are terrifying! It’s only been a few minutes and you’ve already dug up everything about the streamer and his connection with Chu Feng…”

The fans didn’t care how shocked the students were, and made their final conclusion: “Given Chu Feng’s past behavior, it’s very likely he decided to step in now to help Si Qi out.”

“Besides, he said the streamer’s teaching was good. That means this streamer is competent. If anyone in your family is interested in mecha, share this livestream. As fans, we must support what Chu Feng wants to do!”

The students: “……”

No, seriously—this is incredible.

And so, Si Qi’s livestream quickly spread beyond the academy.

The news of Chu Feng appearing even made a small trending topic, drawing more traffic to the stream.

Plenty of people entered the stream, watched the replay, and those with knowledge quickly absorbed it. Even those without background knowledge were shocked to find they understood it right away, exclaiming: “I can actually keep up with those top students from the comprehensive university—am I a genius too??”

“Never thought I’d have talent for piloting mechas! Too bad I’m too old now—it’s too late to get into the field…”

These comments gained a lot of likes. Many people said things like “I understood it too” and “It feels so simple.” Some even bought paid mecha training courses, only to find them as difficult and confusing as ever, sighing: “It’s not that we’re smart—it’s that this top student really knows how to teach. He could teach anyone.”

Because of the high quality, many of the passersby drawn in by Chu Feng stayed.

Even if they’d never get the chance to pilot a mecha in their lifetime, even if they could never afford one, some people just wanted to master the skill of piloting—why not learn? Even if just to enjoy it in holographic games!

Can’t afford a mecha? You can still afford a game, right?

Maybe someday they could even brag to their friends and family: “I know how to pilot a mecha.”

It was easy to imagine how many people would be waiting when Si Qi opened his livestream again.

Meanwhile, Si Yuan, who had just suffered a major setback and was plotting revenge, heard the terrible news from his lackey.

Reading the campus forum gossip about Si Qi and Chu Feng, everyone was saying Chu Feng had publicly taken a stand for Si Qi, making it unlikely that Si Yuan would dare provoke him again.

Si Yuan’s face turned dark as the bottom of a pot.

“Why would Chu Feng approach Si Qi? It must be coincidence!” He refused to accept it.

His lackey forced a bitter smile: “I don’t think Brother Chu has that much free time to watch some livestream on how to pilot mechas.”

With Chu Feng’s background, he must have had professional instructors long ago—why would he need basic online lessons?

Not to mention, not long ago Si Qi had just clashed with Si Yuan. Si Yuan had been planning to strip Si Qi of all his work, making him unable to afford food or tuition, forcing him into a dead end. But then Si Qi came up with streaming as a way to earn money, and Chu Feng personally showed up, saying he’d come back again.

Who else was that message meant for, if not him?

Si Yuan gnashed his teeth. “Why would he…”

Because of Li Zhaoran, Si Yuan had met Chu Feng a few times and they got along decently.

Though only acquaintances, Chu Feng normally wouldn’t bother making him look this bad.

But now Chu Feng had deliberately done so.

Si Yuan clenched his jaw, wanting to run to his doting uncle for help, to complain about Chu Feng and ask his uncle to step in.

But remembering the real reason Chu Feng interfered, he suddenly didn’t know how to explain it.

He couldn’t exactly say, “I wanted to bully some random nobody, but Chu Feng stopped me—can you help me teach him a lesson?”

With Li Zhaoran’s temper, he’d be lucky not to get lectured himself!

Frustrated, Si Yuan kicked the table in front of him, feeling even more stifled.

Just an insignificant ant—why was Chu Feng siding against him? Now everyone at the academy would probably think he’d been humiliated, mocking him behind his back for being a bully who ran into steel. Couldn’t even deal with some backwater nobody from a garbage planet… where was he supposed to put his face!!

He sat on the sofa with a dark expression, brooding for a long time, then suddenly sneered.

“Just a trash picker, a lowlife. Let’s see how long Chu Feng can protect you.”

Even if Chu Feng helped him once out of interest, was he going to protect him for life?

Once Chu Feng forgot about him, would the Si family’s young master really be unable to crush some rootless nobody?

He would find a chance to make Si Qi regret crossing him, to make sure his life was ruined!

Meanwhile, at the Si General’s residence.

Si Yishan’s mood was no better than that of his so-called son.

Looking at the two genetic test reports before him, his heart burned with rage, though outwardly he forced a look of shock and regret. “He’s actually my son… My child met me just days ago without me knowing…”

Li Zhaoran said sympathetically, “Yes. If I hadn’t happened to see Xiao Qi’s photo, how would I have known my sister’s biological son had been admitted to the academy under my administration?”

Despite knowing Si Qi was at the university, Si Yishan hadn’t prevented someone from leaking such a small matter to Li Zhaoran: “……”

He forced a stiff smile: “Yes… yes.”

Li Zhaoran said, “I know this is hard to accept. After all, you raised Si Yuan all these years and surely have feelings for him.”

Si Yishan: “……”

Noticing Li Zhaoran now called him “Si Yuan” instead of the affectionate “Xiao Yuan,” Si Yishan understood. It wasn’t just because they weren’t blood-related—Li Zhaoran was furious at Si Yuan’s actions toward Si Qi.

Li Zhaoran’s love for Si Qi was clear. If he discovered that Si Yishan had long known Si Qi’s identity, and had deliberately sown discord between Si Yuan and Si Qi in order to kill Si Qi and transplant his brain tissue…

The Li family would never forgive him.

Back when Si Yishan, a nobody soldier, had struggled, it was thanks to the Li family’s help that he rose to his current position. From the fact that he had once tolerated Si Yuan despite believing he was another man’s child, it was clear he never wanted to sever ties with the Lis.

Now, with guilt in his heart, he was even more submissive before Li Zhaoran, not daring to show the slightest resistance toward Si Qi. This pleased Li Zhaoran.

He had worried that Si Yishan might not accept Si Qi because of his rural background, thinking he was less impressive than the fake son he had raised. That was why he had come in person—to secure this attitude.

He said earnestly, “Xiao Yuan is a good child. For him to climb step by step from such a place depends entirely on his own ability! He finished in four years what takes others over a decade, competed with billions for a place and entered the Star Alliance’s best university, and his mental strength even reached grade A! If nurtured properly, his future will not be inferior to anyone’s!”

The more Si Yishan listened, the more it hurt. All these talents should have been his! Si Qi had reached grade A mental strength even with crude training in that wilderness. If that power had been placed in his body and cultivated properly, it might even have reached SS someday!

He could not give up this chance and settle for transplanting the brain tissue of a baby with grade E mental strength—it would only weaken him. Nothing placed in another body was as reliable as controlling it himself!

Even if that person was his son.

If only he hadn’t schemed against Si Yuan before—he could have just kidnapped Si Qi the moment he got off the ship and put him on the operating table.

As for whether the Lis would later discover Si Yuan’s real origins, and whether they might trace it back to Si Qi…

When the time came, they would deal with it then. For now, getting hold of the thing was what mattered most.

Si Yishan secretly regretted in his heart.

Li Zhaoran, unaware of what the man opposite was truly thinking—otherwise he would have jumped up and fought the general to the death—saw the hint of frustration on Si Yishan’s face and thought he was blaming himself as a father for not even knowing who his real son was. He offered a few words of comfort, then added: “For now, don’t tell Si Yuan the truth. I want to use him to find out who’s hiding behind him.”

“In the meantime, our two families can deliberately leave a flaw, a weakness only Si Yuan can access. When someone threatens Si Yuan, that person will be the culprit from back then!”

The general’s heart stirred, and he devised a poisonous scheme of killing with a borrowed knife. He nodded in agreement: “We’ll do it your way.”

The two discussed the matter for quite some time, and half an hour later, Li Zhaoran left in satisfaction.

On the way back, he deliberately checked on Old Ge’er’s condition.

It was rather bittersweet—this man was now the most important person in his nephew’s heart. If they wanted Si Qi to accept them later, then this sharp-tongued but soft-hearted old man would be an essential key for the Li family. They would have to treat him with utmost care.

As for how his nephew would reasonably come to know of all this…

That would depend on his cousin Chu Feng’s ability.

After leaving the holographic livestream, Chu Feng’s brows carried a hint of helplessness.

Perhaps because Si Qi had only just arrived at Capital Star and had never heard his name, he had shown no reaction to his appearance in the livestream, nor made any effort to speak with him.

It wasn’t that Chu Feng was narcissistic enough to think that wherever he appeared, everyone should greet him with smiles.

It was just that, in his heart, he hoped Si Qi’s gaze would fall on him, that the words from his mouth would be meant for him alone.

But the other simply ignored him and left. Chu Feng felt stifled, opened his device to look at a few of the boy’s photos, then finally got up to head to the cafeteria for a “chance encounter.”

At this time every day, Si Qi went to the cafeteria to drink the cheapest nutrient solution, only one star coin a bottle, unwilling to spend more.

When Chu Feng read that information, his heart nearly broke.

What difference was this from eating only plain rice without side dishes every meal? How could his child suffer such grievances?

Of course, Si Qi would never really wrong himself. In his consciousness space lay countless things he had brought from other worlds, waiting for his attention. He would never drink tasteless nutrient solution. The bottles he bought were all stored within the World Tree’s leaves, waiting for possible use in other worlds.

Still, since Xiu Xiu told him Chu Feng was coming to the cafeteria to look for him, Si Qi obediently went. He stood at the robot counter to buy a bottle of nutrient solution, and when he turned around, he bumped straight into Chu Feng—body against body.

Quick-eyed, Si Qi caught the glass bottle before it hit the floor, looked up at Chu Feng in confusion, and thought: trying to play a scam on me?

Chu Feng also hadn’t expected him to react so fast. He could only stare as Si Qi snatched the nutrient solution out of the air, the words he had planned to say stuck in his throat.

Then he saw the boy’s eyes light up, his face breaking into a look of admiration Chu Feng knew all too well, as he openly asked: “Who are you?”

From that one glance, Chu Feng was sure—the boy had fallen for him at first sight.

A tingling current ran across his scalp, his back muscles went taut, and even his breathing grew lighter without him realizing.

He couldn’t quite process what went through his mind in that instant, only that his thoughts had gone blank. When the boy’s starlit eyes, full of expectation, looked into his, he finally came to himself, throat dry, and forced composure as he said: “I’m Chu Feng. Just now I almost knocked your food down by accident—why don’t I buy you this meal to make up for it?”

Normally, if someone showed him affection, he would politely refuse and create distance.

But now, burdened with his elder’s instructions to look after this pitiful little one, how could he abandon him at such a time? Yes—that was the reason.

Chu Feng’s ears flushed as he said: “Will you give me this chance to apologize?”

The boy seemed to hesitate, as though thinking it improper to demand compensation.

But then he looked at Chu Feng’s face, pursed his lips in a delighted smile, and answered brightly: “Mm!”

Chu Feng’s whole body felt light as he led the boy deeper into the cafeteria.

There might have been people watching them, but he couldn’t remember—his attention was fixed entirely on the little one beside him.

The boy was stealing glances at him too. Ah, that expression, full of affection yet pretending to stay calm and keep distance—it was too cute. Of course he had to be his relative, his future family!

Chu Feng asked about Si Qi’s tastes and ordered him a lunch.

Si Qi did not refuse. While eating, he said: “This meal is far too expensive, much more than that bottle of nutrient solution…”

Chu Feng replied, “It’s nothing, I only wanted to apologize.”

Si Qi: “Then will you let me show my gratitude?”

Chu Feng, expectant, said: “Of course.”

Si Qi: “Next time, let me treat you to a meal. Is that okay?”

He asked if it was okay? He actually asked?

Of course it was okay!!

Chu Feng gave a reserved smile, nodded, and said: “Of course.”

Si Qi: “You said your name is Chu Feng. Was that you in the livestream just now?”

Chu Feng: “Yes, that was me. After leaving the livestream, I didn’t expect to run into you again at the cafeteria. I wanted to greet you, but accidentally bumped into you… perhaps this is fate.”

Si Qi chuckled inwardly, but outwardly his face lit up with delight, eyes sparkling at Chu Feng: “Yes, this must be fate!”

Chu Feng suddenly felt like he was deceiving a child, his conscience pricked. He coughed lightly and said: “The income from streaming can be withdrawn the same day. Why don’t you use it to buy yourself some good food as a reward?”

Si Qi followed along: “Because I’m saving money.”

Chu Feng: “Saving to buy something?”

Si Qi shook his head: “My family is sick. I want to bring him here for treatment.”

Chu Feng immediately set down his utensils, face serious. “Illness is no small matter. Once discovered, it must be treated quickly.”

Si Qi: “Exactly…”

Chu Feng said at once: “How about this—I’ll help bring your family to Capital Star for treatment first. What do you think?”

Si Qi pressed his lips together: “But…”

“Do you want your family’s illness to keep dragging on?”

That one sentence cut off all his excuses. Si Qi looked at Chu Feng carefully: “Really? Senior? I’ll repay the medical fees… if I can’t, I’ll work for you, for a lifetime if I have to…”

That timid “senior” struck directly into Chu Feng’s heart. His ears burned as he forced himself to remain calm. “No need for that. You’re a junior I admire very much. I can’t bear to see you unhappy.”

The blush on Si Qi’s face grew more obvious. His deer-like eyes stayed fixed on Chu Feng, filled with unspoken words, until Chu Feng nearly surrendered, begging him to stop looking like that.

—Had he been too gentle, too considerate, making the boy misunderstand?

What if the boy truly fell for him, deeply and completely?!
