Later, He Became A Royal Healer Chapter 67 - A wealthy fan.

Chapter 67 - A wealthy fan.

Thank you Ca.s.s for your Ko-Fis!

After listening to his words, w.a.n.g Lu had nothing to say. However, when he looked at Kang Shengzhe again, the gaze he used had already gone through a heaven and earth splitting change. Originally, he had always presumed that Kang Shengzhe was young, and his lackadaisical and indifferent att.i.tude which showed that he scarcely put anything in mind did not help with the impression either. But now, Kang Shengzhe had proven him wrong by being open-minded and capable of depths that even he could not delve into.

w.a.n.g Lu nodded deeply, remaining silent for a long moment, while Kang Shengzhe turned his eyes towards his phone with great exuberance.

No matter what his surroundings were busy with, Kang Shengzhe’s attention was constantly fixated on the WeChat interface open on his phone. As he scrolled through the dialogue he shared with You Liangxing, he typed: — I’m done.

You Liangxing: — I know.

The words ‘I know’ essentially affirmed the fact that the other party had watched the broadcast and the suns.h.i.+ne in Kang Shengzhe’s heart was br.i.m.m.i.n.g and threatening to overflow. He asked: — Did I play Zhong Kui well?

You Liangxing: — Yes.

Kang Shengzhe was a little surprised: — You replied so fast?

You Liangxing: — Because I’m intending to answer in the negative for your next question.

Kang Shengzhe paused: — Do you know what I want to ask next?

Kang Shengzhe smiled: — You can say it, isn’t this my next question? Quickly reply in the negative.

You Liangxing: ……

Seeing that Liang Liang did not reply, the curvature of Kang Shengzhe’s smile grew deeper with satisfaction, and he asked the question that was at the tip of his tongue.

— Liang Liang, was I handsome?

You Liangxing: — …….

You Liangxing: — Quickly scram.

Although he did not receive a positive response, Kang Shengzhe did not feel any loss in his heart. In fact, his smile grew wider. To him, a smooth broadcast was incapable of bringing him the same level of happiness that he was experiencing at the present moment.

Now that the task was completely, he kept recalling back to a matter: — Are you occupied tonight?

You Liangxing: — Not occupied.

And the phrase ‘not occupied’ was equivalent to saying that the leisure time he had tonight was his to monopolise. In a good mood, Kang Shengzhe typed: — Shall we have a meal together then?

After sending the message, he added another: — I’ll treat you, you can order whatever you want.

Before You Liangxing’s reply arrived, Kang Shengzhe raised his head to look at Bai Yao who was still around because she was touching up on her make-up. He asked her: “Do you still remember what you said during the live broadcast?”

With her pretty eyes, Bai Yao glanced over with a smile that implied she found the situation humorous. “What are you in a rush for? I have always lived up to my words, we’ll go together in a bit.”

Kang Shengzhe shook his head, “Can you say that line again?”

Bai Yao was slightly confounded but she still repeated her words: “If you manage to land a hook, I’ll treat you to dinner tonight.”

He nodded his head, satisfied, and followed up with a smile: “No thanks.”

Bai Yao: “……”

Bai Yao felt her eyelid twitch since she did not expect Kang Shengzhe to spit out such words. After pausing for a brief moment, she said, “Does it feel good to reject me?”

Kang Shengzhe: “Not really, there aren’t any fluctuations in my heart because of it. However, I do feel like&#k2026;”

He had yet to complete his sentence when Bai Yao’s slap impacted his forehead. She glared at him with dead eyes, telling him not to finish his words, lest he wanted to taste the wrath of her high heels.

Despite that, Kang Shengzhe finished his words fearlessly, “… Laughing.”

Bai Yao pursed her lips, torn between anger and laughter. Thus, she decided to ignore him for the time being. Only after she had freshened up her makeup, did she ask: “Were you being serious?”

Kang Shengzhe: “I have a rendezvous.”

What rendezvous could be more important than a meal with a big celebrity? The thought lingered in Bai Yao’s mind for a while, her expression becoming reserved: “No way, how could the likes of you have a girlfriend?”

The random utterance seemed to come out from the left field, but Kang Shengzhe remained unfazed by the turns of her thoughts: “I have a boyfriend, not a girlfriend.”

Bai Yao rolled her eyes, but she did not attach the connotations of love to the t.i.tle ‘boyfriend’ in her heart. She smiled with teeth, “Which man looks well upon you? Perhaps he has been surrounded by ugly girls all his life, thus he finds you attractive?”

After she dropped those words, she still felt that her anger was not fully a.s.suaged. She snorted, “And so what if you have a boyfriend, I have one too.” Saying that, she tapped on You Liangxing’s WeChat and typed decisively: — I, your G.o.ddess, am inviting you to a meal later. If you don’t show up, I’m lifting your quilt tonight.

Once she sent it, she tugged on Kang Shengzhe’s ponytail and left without looking back.

While they were bickering with each other, the unknowing and far away You Liangxing was at home alone, and he had long fell into silence.

Inspecting the messages from both Kang Shengzhe and Bai Yao, he noticed that their invitation to a meal were two minutes apart. You Liangxing covered his face, feeling a headache coming on.

… It was here again.

This incomparably familiar sight.

Perhaps this was Ashura’s domain?

You Liangxing furrowed his brows, choosing not to reply to either of them at the moment. He still remembered the short exchange between Bai Yao and Kang Shengzhe regarding the matter of a meal. After stewing about it for a few minutes, Kang Shengzhe’s message arrived at his doorstep.

— Liang Liang?

You Liangxing typed: — … Forget it.

Having thought that the matter was already settled, the rejection that came with the reply startled him. Kang Shengzhe asked in hurry: — Why?

You Liangxing: — Having three people isn’t very convenient.

Kang Shengzhe stilled and a sudden itch arose in his heart: — Who told you it was going to be three people?

The reply took You Liangxing by surprise. Before he could react, Kang Shengzhe sent another message: — There’s no one else, in fact, I just want it to be the two of us.

Instantaneously, You Liangxing felt a chill run down his spine, causing goose b.u.mps to break out all over his body. He did not what he should be refuting but he felt that something was distinctively wrong somewhere.

As he was about to speak, Kang Shengzhe abruptly said: — Hei hei hei, sure enough, you prefer to be alone with me.

You Liangxing: ……

Eyebrows convulsing, You Liangxing typed at a flying speed: — f.u.c.k! Off!

* * *

In the end, who he would be having dinner required no further exposition. Before he left the house proper, You Liangxing made sure to tow his luggage away with him.

His parents had left the country to watch the fas.h.i.+on show and Bai Yao was not at home; all in all, it was a great opportunity to leave and he naturally had to use it. Honestly speaking, You Liangxing… really did not want Bai Yao lifting his quilt in the middle of the night.

After opening a room in a hotel and putting down his luggage, You Liangxing’s phone came under a string of bombardments.

The person messaging him was Liao Su, and his words were filled with restless energy.

[It’s Liao Su Not Plastic]: — WAAAAAAHHHHH the live broadcast KK had today! His face value, WTF!!

[It’s Liao Su Not Plastic]: — His mechanics were explosively good, I admire it so much ahhhhh!

[It’s Liao Su Not Plastic]: — An idol is indeed idol! I’m shaking, you didn’t watch the broadcast so you don’t understand but, KK really gave his fans a lot of face today, and K fans are feeling over the moon! I didn’t expect that he would be hiding such a good-looking face behind his great skills!

If the conversation had happened prior, You Liangxing would not even bother to entertain the conversation and he would have allowed Liao Su to ramble to himself. However, today was different from other days as You Liangxing chose to reply.

— I watched it.

Liao Su was at a loss: — What did you watch?

After a beat, he reacted and became increasingly excited: — Holy s.h.i.+t, you were watching KK broadcast too!?? How did it feel! Wasn’t it super handsome!!

When being confronted by Kang Shengzhe’s question, You Liangxing was a little evasive. But the person in front of him now was Liao Su and there was no need to restrain himself. Recalling back to the feelings he had experienced while watching the live broadcast today, he replied: — Mn, very handsome.

The short reply harboured a complex state of mind but Liao Su scarcely took notice of it. In his own thoughts, he only felt that You Liangxing was rather liberal in giving face today.

[It’s Liao Su Not Plastic]: — The thought has been circulating around my mind but I constantly feel like I’ve seen KK’s smurf somewhere before. Furthermore, it’s not just the issue of his ID, I feel like I’ve seen KK’s face too, but I can’t recall where… it’s dangling right in front of me but I just can’t think of where? Sigh.

When someone felt like that they had experienced something before, they were less likely to recall it the longer they pondered upon it. And when they did not actively think about it, it would randomly come to the forefront of their brain. Despite ruminating about it bitterly for a while, nothing came to mind and he could only give up. Following that, he sighed: — KK’s performance today was excellent, and Bai Yao was super pretty. After watching it, even I wanted to give them a gift.

You Liangxing asked: — Hm? You didn’t?

Liao Su said: — I didn’t! Where do I find the money? The poor is s.h.i.+vering, alright?

Suddenly, a thought occurred in Liao Su’s head and he felt that something was wrong.

[It’s Liao Su Not Plastic]: — Wait, you gave them a gift?

You Liangxing: ……

* * *

Like Liao Su had said, in the short span of an afternoon and with KK giving his entire fanbase a lot of material to work with, it did not take long for Bai Yao’s broadcast to become a hot search after the live broadcast had ended . And what ran neck and neck with Bai Yao were two extremely hot searches that were directly tagged with the word ‘KK’:

#KK, King’s Glory’s New Husband#, #KK, No Problem#

Typically, an average celebrity would find it difficult to concurrently have two hot searches dedicated to them, to say nothing of the fact that KK was a King’s Glory game anchor. And yet, he managed that unexpected feat by the late noon, which spoke volumes of the immense popularity that the live broadcast had brought him.

The effect of his high face value and game technique was not limited to King’s Glory fans; of all the human traffic that went into the live broadcast, around eighty percent had exited as his fans. Thus, there was a veritable army tripping over themselves as they rushed to forward the video of the broadcast, and upon entering the discussion, no matter whether the netizen knew of Kang Shengzhe beforehand, they would all share the high propensity of becoming his fans afterwards.

【Holy c.r.a.p!! Isn’t this little brother too good-looking?!!】

【WTS! He decided to be an anchor with this kind of face?? Why have I never known of such a person???】

【Salivating… this face is too delicious, and his voice sounds really good!】

【En, this is my husband.】

【Henceforth, the King of Attractiveness among King’s Glory anchors has come to being. There are neither predecessors nor successors and objections are not allowed, thank you.】

【This is basically the world pressing against my head and telling me to play King’s Glory.】

【This face value is truly unrivalled in this world, wait a minute—what’s with his height??? Haa??? What kind of combination is this?? Is he trying to conquer the world??】

Other than Kang Shengzhe eating up the young and old alike with his attractiveness, the expressions, character and mad skills he displayed in the live broadcast was a cause for eager and incessant teasing.

【Yes yes, he’s particularly steady.】

【The KK fans are telling you, he has been very withdrawn today, trust me!】

In a twinkling of an eye, the fan count for Kang Shengzhe’s personal Weibo and MengMao TV soared, especially for the latter account, to the extent where it was about to exceed the number of fans that the most popular ‘Howling Wolf’ had.

【To be honest, with KK’s face, he could defeat Howling Wolf easily.】

【Wolf fans are panicking.】

【I really didn’t want to flip the wall, it was KK who forced me! It’s all his fault! Who allowed him to be this good-looking!】

If the previous incident was described as a fire, then the current instance was an explosion and the sort that gave rise to flames. When late noon arrived, w.a.n.g Lu, who had been watching the fan count rocket upwards, was already smiling to the point where he could not open his eyes. As he was observing, he would sneak a few glances at KK, and he noticed that KK was making his leave when the clock struck six.

“Leaving?”

Kang Shengzhe said, “En, for dinner.”

No matter how heated the commotion was on Weibo, the subject in question, Kang Shengzhe, was always placid. Compared to the new addition of hundreds and thousands of fans, his head was filled with the thought that he was going to have a two-man dinner in a short while.

As he was about to go out, w.a.n.g Li suddenly screamed, “Skies above!”

Kang Shengzhe asked in an indolent manner: “What happened?”

w.a.n.g Lu laughed with excitement: “During today’s broadcast, not only did your fans increase, you even hooked onto a wealthy one! Come here, come here, come and take a look.”

Kang Shengzhe slowly walked over. As he bent his waist and lowered his head, he noticed that there was a fan who gave him a lot of gifts in the latter half of the broadcast today.

The reason why he knew that the gift was specifically for him in a three-person broadcast was because the fan had mentioned their intended recipient by the name, writing that it was for Zhong Kui.

And the person who played Zhong Kui was KK.

“How much is this?”

Kang Shengzhe counted the number of digits it amounted to after the gifts were converted to renminbi. “Five… five thousand, fifty thousand, five hundred thousand, five hundred and twenty thousand? They gave five hundred and twenty thousand?”

Kang Shengzhe was genuinely surprised, and what brought him greater shock was what came after. The fan’s name was extremely familiar, and they went by【Righteous】.

Righteous…. was You Liangxing’s WeChat name.
