Chapter 99 - Not your familiar K.
The people in the live broadcasting room exchanged looks with one another. Immediately after, they adopted a different method to coax You Liangxing, which was very different from the way they treated Kang Shengzhe.
【Sister Liang is right!! This Angela doesn’t know to play!!】
【Angela: Yeah yeah yeah! I don’t know how to play!】
【That’s true, that’s true, I’ve never seen an Angela playing this poorly! What kind of positioning is that; she doesn’t know how to position herself at all!】
【Hahahaha I suddenly let out a pig snort.】
【Truthfully though, KK definitely deserves Sister Liang’s brand of ‘protecting the husband like treasure’.】
You Liangxing’s eyelids twitched and he lowered his head out of shyness, trying to treat the comments as if they were transient like fleeting clouds. He manipulated his Luna to seize the momentum and broke the enemy’s crystal nexus with one breath.
Before the crystal nexus shattered, his Luna had harvested more three kills and the remaining two kills belonged to Kang Shengzhe’s Xiao Qiao. Although they did not manage to attain the quadra kill that the fans were seeking, but they definitely lived up to the promise of ‘carrying them to victory’.
In between the end of the first round and the start of the second one, the teammates who initially told You Liangxing not to be pretentious took the initiative to send him an invite to continue ranking with him. Kang Shengzhe gave him a questioning look through the camera, and You Liangxing replied: “Reject it.”
Without needing Kang Shengzhe to speak, You Liangxing spoke again: “It’s enough with just the two of us.”
The aura of a dominating king that he exuded was wholly natural and without blemish. Kang Shengzhe’s eyes glimmered, and it seemed to blink out small red flowers with every flutter of his eyelashes. The live broadcast was roughly five hours long; with one game stacking up one after another, it accounted for a total of ten over matches. When they were finally done with the last game, You Liangxing and Kang Shengzhe simultaneously promoted themselves to Xingyao players.
【... Damn, what is with this enviable speed?】
【This is really... it’s never this easy when I’m trying to rank up QAQ!】
【Liang Liang’s mechanics and hand speed is truly something that can only be found by chance!! What must I do in order to meet such a girl!】
【This kind of girl matching up with KK, I refuse to accept it!】
Kang Shengzhe raised his cardboard, face full of smiles: — What’s the matter with matching up with me? We match each other perfectly~
【No! It’s super wasted if she’s matched up with you!】
【Stop scattering your dog food, you’re at the risk of becoming a single dog at any time, I’m telling you!】
There was more than ten minutes left to the end of the broadcast but Kang Shengzhe and You Liangxing had no intention to continue playing. For one, they were tired from constantly playing the game, but the most important point was that if they were to continue playing, they would be suspended by King’s Glory.
【With one glance alone, you just know that these two have been gaming together secretly!】
【Are you not going to fill us in about the missing portion of the history of you bringing a girl around!】
【I’m going to make a definitive guess and say that KK acted shamelessly and made it difficult to shake him off, which is why he managed to get her. Afterall, he’s been extremely shameless for the most part.】
Since there was no longer a need for commentary, You Liangxing stopped speaking. The live broadcasting room was entirely dependent on Kang Shengzhe using his cardboard to communicate with his audience. Seeing that the live broadcast was about to come to an end, the fans started to wail.
【No no no no I don’t believe it! The live broadcast has just began!!】
【How should I even use the rest of my time!! Falling!!】
【Kaji ma! KK, you’re my little sweetheart! Believe me, if you broadcast for another hour, we can go back to how we were back then!】
The fans were energetic and enlivened, Kang Shengzhe was in a very good mood after an entire day of fruitful gaming. Now that the time for the live broadcast was running out, he was planning to say a few parting words at the last moment and he tried to clear his throat, coughing once.
The sound was very loud in the live broadcasting room, and the fans became expectant instantaneously.
【Yi!!!! KK wants to speak!】
【This, this, this.... Although I’m very happy about it, you really don’t have to force yourself to speak when your tooth is hurting!】
【??? KK, are you really objk?】
Frankly speaking, while it was still difficult for the pain-insensitive Kang Shengzhe to speak, it was not impossible. But perhaps because the overturning of his car had become a habit as of late, he accidentally choked on his saliva when he opened his mouth, and he started to cough violently.
The coughing caused a tremor in his mouth, and the toothache that arrived abruptly felt incomparably sharp and distinct.
His complexion changed all of a sudden and he covered his mouth, and he could not recover from the abject sensation even after a long time had passed. It took him a few presses on his throat to stabilise the agitation and his teeth and gums were still tingling after he keenly felt the pain from his tooth acting up.
As he was tightly strung from the discomfort, a glass of water was held before him. Kang Shengzhe shook his head in the negative and the glass of water that was within the camera frame lowered even further.
Kang Shengzhe’s voice was so small that it sounded a little pathetic. “I’m not thirsty.”
You Liangxing looked at him with a frown. Heart softening, he spoke, “It’s iced, keep some of the water in your mouth.”
He was not thinking when he spoke, but when his voice landed, You Liangxing’s expression changed. Kang Shengzhe became stunned as well, and then he hurriedly examined the situation in the live broadcasting room.
However, it was already too late. If they could react, how could the live broadcasting room, which had always been very skilled at detecting the thinnest threads of possible illicit love affairs, not respond to it like torches lighting up?
Just now, You Liangxing had spoken!
Him speaking was not a cause for sensation; but the problem was that You Liangxing’s voice was not issued from the linked voice channel from the team room in the game, but from Kang Shengzhe’s microphone instead!
The matter took a quick turn.
The person who was handing Kang Shengzhe a glass of water was actually You Liangxing???
They thought even further back. Was the person who was snatching the cardboard away from Kang Shengzhe and refused to allow him to show the words ‘it’s my wife’ also You Liangxing himself as well???
The two of them were not only live broadcasting the game together, but they were together in real life as well???
The live broadcasting room froze as a collective, and then... descended into an unprecedented and unrepeatable frenzy!
【???? EXM??? Are the two of you together??? What the fuck is the situation!!!】
【Is this real or fake holy shit!!! It can’t be!! Where are the both of you, isn’t your background a house!!?? Sister Liang is in your house??】
【AHHHHHHHHHHH!! What kind of shocking and big news is this!! KK, not only did you hook Sister Liang into playing games with you, you’re even together with her in real life!????】
【WTF!! WTF!! Lying down!!!】
The barrage of comments swept past the screen at a rapid pace, and there was not a single gap left as the textual messages and exclamation marks blotted out the skies and covered the earth utterly. You Liangxing still had a stiff expression when he gradually turned to look at Kang Shengzhe, complex emotions apparent and fully exhibited in their gazes.
The question marks in the live broadcasting room had already reached the point where it had broken through the skies. Kang Shengzhe could no longer care about his toothache. Inflexibly, he blinked several times as he moved his finger towards the button that turned off his live broadcast and pressed it.
The live broadcasting room went dark and it isolated the innumerable torrent of comments.
【KK!!!!!!!! You bastard!!!】
【Close your sister ah!! Come back here now!!!】
【Explain it clearly!! Asshole!!!】
Having hung up quickly, Kang Shengzhe could not see the anger that his fans were expressing. However, as the pair stared at each other in the quiet, none of them could say a thing for a long time.
Then, You Liangxing said: “You...”
You Liangxing: “Forget it.”
Kang Shengzhe raised his phone: — Don’t do that.
You Liangxing frowned, “What do you think we should do?”
Kang Shengzhe replied: — Just... pretend it didn’t happen?
You Liangxing: “......” That was a really good idea.
After the moment of disorientation, they could only take a step back because they could not conceal the fact that the incident had already taken place. Kang Shengzhe cracked a few jokes to deal with it and You Liangxing did not continue to pursue the topic either. Since neither of them cared about the discussion that was ongoing on the internet, they changed the subject immediately, easily shelving the incident where they had exposed themselves in a moment of ignorance.
However, even though they had set aside the matter quickly, the fans in the live broadcasting room became increasingly heated.
While Kang Shengzhe could close the live broadcasting room, he could not shut out the absurd and multitude of mouths that the crowd had. The gossiping bunch gathered together and went to battle, inciting a wave of enthusiasm throughout Weibo without even needing much time.
#KK, Carrying Girl Counterattack#, #Not Your Familiar KK#
With a single glance downwards, Kang Shengzhe’s Weibo were rolling with these two tags, and the comments had sparks jumping about everywhere. No matter which comment or thread was clicked on, exclamation marks would fill the four corners.
【It’s hard to believe!! The disgrace of the carrying girls world actually managed to get the girl!!】
【Asshole K! If you have the ability to bring Sister Liang, why don’t you have the ability to come out! Don’t hide in Weibo without making a sound, we know you’re at home! Come out and talk!】
【Mud horses, is the real life version of an online romance running now!!!!】
【Sister Liang was broadcasting together with KK in his house, they are definitely together, right?!】
【AHHHHHHHH my mother, does this mean that we have to eat dog food every day!!! Feeling excited all of a sudden!!】
【I just managed to become a fan of someone I want as a husband, but now he has his own wife at the blink of an eye. Worse still, I’m charging forth to watch them abuse dogs. Have I been poisoned, what the hell orz!】
【KK, honestly speaking, it’s useless for you to hide. You still have to broadcast tomorrow.】
These words were very reasonable; he could hide for a time, but he could not hide forever. Thus, when he started broadcasting the next day, he did not show the slightest mercy to Little Sword Fairy as he pulled him out to help him block the bullet.
It just so happened that he could rely on the blessing of being unable to speak, and against the tempestuous torrential rain in his live broadcasting room, Kang Shengzhe kept his mouth shut and firmly stayed mute. No matter how much his fans called for him to speak, he would either grin or cover his teeth as he raised his cardboard: — Someone has a toothache.
The fans only wanted to kick him to death.
【To hell with your toothache!】
【To hell with your someone!】
Without You Liangxing, the person in charge of speaking and enlivening the atmosphere within Kang Shengzhe’s live broadcasting room became Little Sword Fairy. However, before poor Little Sword Fairy could speak, he was already violently thrashed by the live broadcasting room.
【We don’t want this Jian Jian!】
【Bring Sister Liang out for Zhen!】
【Everyone say a loud ‘NO’ with me! Jian Jian—NO! Jian Jian— NO!】
Jian Jian: “......”
Jian Jian: “What treachery have I committed to deserve this treatment? Yamete. This Jian Jian is an incredibly cute person, you shouldn’t bully him.”
At the bottom of it, a joke was still a joke. With Jian Jian dialling his cuteness level up, Kang Shengzhe’s live broadcasting became as lively as ever. Jian Jian assumed the role of the main host, and with the two popular anchors synergising with each other, they brought mutual and large benefits to each other’s live broadcasting room.
Over the course of the next few days, Kang Shengzhe’s tooth gradually solidified and Kang Shengzhe no longer had to pay too much attention to it whenever he was speaking which meant that it was about time for Little Sword Fairy to leave. However, before Little Sword Fairy took his leave, he still had the face of a gossipmonger as he went knocking on Kang Shengzhe’s WeChat.
Jian Jian: — Hey, what’s the situation between you and your Sister Liang?
Sure enough, gossipers wore the same appearance, no matter male or female. Kang Shengzhe replied: — Oh, we’re already married.
Jian Jian: — WTF, is that real or fake?
Kang Shengzhe said: — It’s real.
Jian Jian: — ......
Jian Jian: — Fine fine fine, I’ll stop asking.
Little Sword Fairy and Kang Shengzhe had known each other for a long period of time and they were relatively harmonious in relations. When it came to the other party’s willingness to speak, they could feel it out within the first sounding. And judging from how Kang Shengzhe had replied, there were an eighty percent chance he was going to continue to bullshit his way through even if he kept pursuing the matter. After ruminating for a while, Jian Jian thought he might as well change the subject.
— You didn’t go to the MengMao get together two days ago, right?
Kang Shengzhe: — I didn’t go, school started.
Jian Jian was obviously a little startled by the two words ‘school started’.
— Damn! It’s good to be young.
Kang Shengzhe: — Do you have something to remind me about?
If there was nothing, Little Sword Fairy would not have innocuously or specifically chosen to bring up the anchor get together.
Little Sword Fairy paused and immediately sent him the ‘you abuser’ expression.
An honest man would never speak in an duplicitous manner. Although KK was rather young, Little Sword Fairy had never regarded him as an ignorant, rash or immature individual. Very quickly, he typed: — You’re right on target, something really did happen.
