Chapter 121 - Royal healer.
【But YouLiang TV, YouLiang TV…… Hm, is there such a live broadcasting website? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it.】
【If its really for the sake of advertising, that would be epic hehehe, I’m starting imagine the cliché where a president fell in love at first sight and smashed money down out of anger for KK. And at the very end, they pa pa pa pa…… wait, what am I saying, I swear my only true love is Sister Liang!】
This was the first time Kang Shengzhe had been slammed with so much money while he was live broadcasting. While he had received a fifty-two hundred thousand previously, he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, and it could not compare to how domineering the display was right now. Even though he was not the most conscious of money, he still felt some shock, and he said with a surprised tone: “Yi~~~! Local tyrant, I’m grateful for your gift money.”
His words of thanks were akin to a stone dropping into a deep ocean because the bigshot who had smashed him with money did not appear again. It was as if they had done it out of towering rage and pa.s.sion for their infatuation, only to wave the sleeve of their garment and disappear into thin air, not even leaving behind a wisp of cloud.
As Kang Shengzhe uttered another two sentences of thanks, the chair behind him made a light noise, causing him to turn his head back. You Liangxing sat back down on his chair calmly, expression smooth, and he appeared to be in a decent mood.
Kang Shengzhe was baffled, so he asked: “Liang Liang, where did you go?”
You Liangxing gave him a look without speaking but Kang Shengzhe’s smile did not recede because he was used to it. With some flaunting intent, he raised his eyebrows and said: “Liang Liang, did you see that? Someone smashed me with fifty-two hundred thousand just now, I’m quite amazing, yes~?”
You Liangxing looked at him for three full seconds before a smile materialised on his face. He said: “Amazing—”
Upon closer scrutiny, he could not shake off the feeling that the smile was quite weird. Kang Shengzhe was about to get to the bottom of the matter when his audience started making noise about their interaction.
【Prior to this, we were busy fighting and now that the compet.i.tion is over, we were immediately shoved with a plate of dog food! Excessive!!】
【Ahhhh, yeah, yeah! Excessive! (Get married! Please get married immediately! Get married right here and now!!)】
【KK!! Do you believe I, Squirtle, will headb.u.t.t you like fire arrow and let you taste what a turtle head tastes like!!】
【Now that we’re talking about it, Sister Liang was way too handsome today!!】
【Yeah mn ahhhhhhhhh!!! Sister Liang was unmatched and extra-extra-extra-extraordinarily handsome today!! I never thought there would be a day where a Cai Wenji could free herself from peasantry and become a tale eulogised!】
【Sister Liang’s Cai Wenji has renewed the impression I have towards healers.】
Kang Shengzhe chuckled, “Naturally, is Liang Liang your run of the mill healer?”
Whenever KK was teased about Liang Liang, he would usually ignore it, but now that he suddenly opened mouth, it was like injecting chicken blood into the fans in the live broadcasting room.
【???? What what?? Could there be a story here?】
【Aiyo!! Brighten the lights! Where are the microphones! Charge! Stuff it into his mouth!!】
【Queue up!! Get in line for me this instant!! Hurry up!!】
Kang Shengzhe said earnestly: “It’s because he’s my healer, a royal one, do you understand?”
Audience: ……
Don’t understand! Like h.e.l.l we understand!! Stinky and shameless!!
Originally, they a.s.sumed that there was a background behind it, but they never thought that they would be served with a big plate of sour and stinky dog food. Thus, the live broadcasting started crying piteously.
k3010;Throwing up!!! Enough of you!! ORZ!! Why did I believe that you were genuinely going to tell me a story!!k3011;
【This familiar thick skin…… I can’t help but admit that this my KK…】
【Does your Wave-making Sister Liang know you are like this?】
【Fine, fine, fine! She’s your royal healer, are you satisfied?! Are you happy now! No Face K!】
【Which is why I have to ask, how did you manage to win over such an outstanding healer! Tell us your story!】
【Ahhhhh Sister Liang, from this moment forth, I will stand by your side, I’m kneeling and begging you to reveal your face!! I’m going to die from curiosity!!】
Kang Shengzhe’s eyes crinkled and he used his smile to fully express what he felt in his heart. With his peak attractiveness, his smile dazzled and stunned. Then, taking advantage of the fact that his fans had been confused and disoriented, he declared his goodbyes for the night.
“Then we’ll end it here. Everyone must be tired today, and for the sake of everyone’s health, KK will conscientiously remind everyone not to stay up late at night, blah blah blah. All in all, goodnight, see you tomorrow.”
Live broadcasting room: “!!!”
【???? Don’t do this!! Rascal K! Are you really going to run now!!? Didn’t the night just begin!!】
【Ah, this Dog K! To h.e.l.l with your blah blah! Are you even omitting your goodbyes now!】
【Late night broadcast KK, who gave you the courage to say the sentence ‘don’t stay up late at night’ out loud!】
【Wei wei wei!! Don’t go! KK!!!】
【WTF!! This isn’t real, right!! Did KK run off again??? KK!!!】
After turning off the live broadcast, there was no pause in Kang Shengzhe’s actions as he slid off the chair and his tallness and size was not detracted even when he was sitting on the ground. Then, he grabbed onto You Liangxing’s chair with both hands, and as he kept the chair firmly in its place, Kang Shengzhe pulled himself intimately close.
Their gazes met and Kang Shengzhe’s brows and eyes curved, issuing a gleeful sound through his nose.
His staring made You Liangxing knit his eyebrows. “What are you doing?”
Kang Shengzhed chortled, “Liang Liang, you’ve always treated me so well but I never thought you would do so much for me.”
You Liangxing froze, unsure as to what he was pointing at exactly. After faltering for a few seconds, he finally asked: “What?”
Kang Shengzhe became coy. “You asked me to pull you in in front of so many people’s faces to stop them from playing a 2v1. With you protecting me like that, waah~~ Just thinking about it makes me restless, almost overwhelming me with strong emotions~~ Liang Liang, you were really handsome oh~”
You Liangxing: “……”
Oh.
It was not that You Liangxing’s mood was unhappy, it was just that he felt a little stifled.
He constantly felt that his own line of thought was on a different wavelength from Kang Shengzhe’s line of thought… And the feeling of preparing himself for the response to his pleasant surprise only for it to remain undiscovered lingered with him.
How should he say this? It was true that he did not have the slightest intention of letting Kang Shengzhe know he had smashed him with money the first time it happened. But this time around…
He did not know if it was because their relationship had gone through a qualitative change but You Liangxing had an unconscious expectation of wanting Kang Shengzhe to discover it.
His actions definitely did not stem from the fact he wanted to show off his wealth, but as a man in love…….
You Liangxing could not help but find himself somewhat vexing.
All of a sudden, Kang Shengzhe’s expression fluctuated and he blurted out, “Oh right, someone really surprised me with their money smashing when you weren’t around just now.”
“Oh?” said You Liangxing.
Kang Shengzhe quietened down. With an extremely earnest expression, he pillowed his head on You Liangxing’s lap and like an obedient big dog, he said: “Liang Liang, if there comes a day where you’re tired and you don’t want to work, just tell me, I’ll support you. Fifty-two hundred thousand, whatever the amount, I’ll give them all to you. See, I’m very good at earning money.”
You Liangxing went silent for a beat before he burst out into laughter. Because he kept an indifferent expression on his face for the most part, moments where he laughed to his heart’s content in such an unexpected manner was exceedingly rare.
Kang Shengzhe: “… What are you laughing about?”
You Liangxing composed himself before he said: “It seems like in order to allow you to support me, I have to work even harder.”
Kang Shengzhe: “……” ???
“What are you saying…”
You Liangxing slapped Kang Shengzhe on the forehead and said faintly, “Shut up and sleep.”
Kang Shengzhe’s night went as stated, and he slept peacefully and soundlessly in a night of dreamless slumber. On the other end, the broadcast had gone on the internet once it concluded, and the great ma.s.s fervour it was causing was raging.
As an idol, Kang Shengzhe’s method of dealing with matters was either making himself scarce or not caring about it all, but his fans were awfully busy as one side was responsible for making it high while the other was in charge of tearing down Piaoluo fans. In KK’s super topic, it was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with content regarding the quarter finals, especially the royal healer line that Kang Shengzhe had said, which was being commented on everywhere.
【Everyone, come out to knock on the CP! This is officially certified dog food, everyone come and buy it!】
【The Royal Healer Sister Liang! After buying this jar, knock it until you’re drunk!! This Truly Fragrant CP is freaking sweet!!!】
【Sister Liang is really cool! Her voice sounds so nice and her mechanics are incredible too! Royal Healer… only playing healer for KK alone, this sort of frenetic, husband protecting demon and the feeling of pampering him without boundaries really can’t get any better!】
【The CP where the husband is responsible for coquettish, unrestrained, despicable and acting like a spoilt beloved daughter while the charming wife is responsible for frightening the whole audience and carrying the rhythm, have you seen it before??? Aren’t you going to eat it yet?!!】
In one night, the name and alias of royal healer engulfed the internet. Any fan who knew KK’s name knew that he was now burdened with a family, and he had an explosively handsome, cute and girlish healer behind him.
The fans responsible for propagating the information achieved great success, whereas the fans responsible for tearing down a huge part of the ma.s.ses did not return empty-handed either.
Starting from the end of the live broadcast, KK and Piaoluo fans moved their arguing site from the live broadcasting room to Weibo and their fight became more heated as the night wore on. KK fans did not say much apart from lining up to ask Piaoluo fans if they were capable of accepting losses, and by the morning of the second day, Piaoluo and Howling Wolf posted their withdrawal from the compet.i.tion on Weibo one after another.
However, the fulfilling of the condition did not mean that the tearing match had ended. Rather, this was just the beginning. When the notice about the two withdrawing from the compet.i.tion was issued, their respective fans all became red-eyed, and no one chose to mention how they were obliged to accept the loss when they agreed to bet. They merely persisted in scolding KK for rallying his fans to agitate and force Piaoluo and Big Wolf into withdrawing.
【KK can you f.u.c.king want some face!! Was it your family that founded MengMao, do people have to withdraw from the compet.i.tion just because you said withdraw!??】
【Everyone is an anchor, but why are you the only one who is this stupendous? Both insolent and rampant, speaking words of freezing irony and burning satire, are all the fans of KK stupid b.i.t.c.hes!】
【f.u.c.k, do all new anchors dare to be this rampant these days? So what if you have a lot of fans ah!】
【KK is not some good person, and K fans are like mad dogs too. Are you ecstatic about the fact you bit Piaoluo to the point where he withdrew from the compet.i.tion? Scram!!】
When Piaoluo and Wolf fans appeared in KK’s Weibo, the scolding that KK fans dished out heightened in intensity.
【Aiyo, I’ll let you see our terribleness! Yes, our KK is shameless and yes he is rampant. We rely on our numbers to bully you guys, so what of it! Our master is the prettiest and most innocent, the one with the greatest grievances! You’ve been defeated, what can do? Either way, crying will ensure that your brainless fans will come out and help you scold others!】
【Refusing to admit in the face of his loss, is it really OBJK for him to make it seem like everyone under the skies is bullying him? What your hand speed is like, aren’t you clear about it in your heart? Asking what kind of character someone else’s mother has after losing, don’t you have some self-awareness in your heart as you do such a thing? Clicking my tongue and gasping in amazement.】
【Initially, I thought Piaoluo was quite a reasonable person, but I’ve now realised that he doesn’t know how to be human at all! Look, how nice it is to have a public image that revolves around being gentle, soft and understanding; being a white lotus is truly convenient!】
【You’re absolutely right, you should ask Piaoluo to come up with a lecture course on how to be fainthearted white lotus, I’ll purchase it with my real name and place it in my house as a decoration piece and ask my friends and family to gaze at it with reverence together, hehe!】
The fight became more intense as it continued. Insults appeared on KK’s Weibo and live broadcasting room without exception as a natural consequence. But Kang Shengzhe had never cared for such things and seeing it was no different from not seeing it. Even if he were to swipe through ten over pages containing these mixed comments as he was lazing around, his mood would still remain fine and dandy.
What did Piaoluo count for, what of the verbal tear down?
None of it was as important as Liang Liang~~~
The honeyed and intimate reunion still continued. On the second day, You Liangxing had to return back to school to do his work and Kang Shengzhe followed along. They hadn’t been on the school compound for long, but they gained an ample comprehension of what Liao Su meant by ‘they had set the school on fire’.
Wherever they went, in all four directions and without any exception, there would be people watching their illicit love, and after being immersed in such a gaze for an extended period of time, Kang Shengzhe became fl.u.s.tered and his breathing was a little short.
You Liangxing said: “… Are you alright?”
Kang Shengzhe said: “I’m fine, I feel very pleased ah~”
