Chapter 132 - What about Sister Liang?
To Cliella and an anon, many thanks for the Ko-Fi!
The verbal abuse blotted out the skies and covered the earth. When he investigated the proverbial fountain for its head, he discovered that Bai Yao caught them from the same source, namely the video uploaded on the night of the Double 11 evening party.
After Bai Yao had seen someone identify KK as the other person in the comments, she had shut off her phone and rushed to City A, coincidentally missing the subsequent surge of tear downs that eventually became a war. Perhaps, it was more fitting to say it was a war dedicated to spraying KK.
The people who paid attention to KK all knew from KK’s live broadcasting room that KK and Sister Liang were already cohabiting, and because he had brought Sister Liang along, he had accumulated a large number of CP fans. However, no one expected that a homosexual confession scene would burst out, blatantly telling everyone that the ‘Love Story of Carrying a Girl’ that countless of netizens had dubbed as crazy cute was all fake!
【Is that really KK… the height and face value all coincide, but… but…】
【Mother, this can’t be real right? KK is gay?? That’s not right, it doesn’t matter if he’s gay or not!! More importantly, what about Sister Liang ah!!????】
【Using one foot to step on two boats?? Is KK two-timing???】
【No no no no no no no!! Shouldn’t we be asking if Sister Liang knows about this?? Aren’t KK and Sister Liang already together?】
【WTF, what kind of fucking information is this ah!!! Are the public displays of affection in the live broadcasting room all fake??】
KK’s appearance in the video was irrefutable evidence, especially when the height and facial features could not be imitated. Even if KK fans wanted to speak, they did not dare to cut in.
【I think everyone should calm down right now, I mean, this could be a joke?】
【Before the truth is made known, I hope everyone doesn’t randomly spout.】
There were certainly people who spoke for KK, but there were even more people who felt the deep hate that corresponded to their love. When the video appeared, the fans who had just been rooting for KK avidly two night ago all felt like they had been cheated.
【Damn! You liked a person for so long and yet you can’t recognise him!! This is KK ah!!】
【What the hell is this!! If this is real, then what’s going on with Sister Liang!!】
【Although KK is shameless, he’s a very good person!! Such a shameless thing… honestly speaking, I’m not opposed to homosexuality, but if you’re gay, why did you even bring girls around in the live broadcasting room ah!!! This fan wants to slip away???】
【Are you taking your fans for idiots???】
Once the situation fermented, it quickly started falling to one side and it continued to roll downwards. The suspicions against KK grew louder but it was not limited to just that, because the rebuking had developed to the extent where the entire internet was doing it.
And that was honestly the fault of coincidence; KK had recently offended Piaoluo and Howling Wolf, and he had a crowning reputation of being ‘rampant’, ‘considering everyone else beneath him’, ‘shameless’, ‘belittling others’, so on and so forth. Out of nowhere, a group of people had appeared and controlled the rhythm, bringing the situation to the point where it could no longer be dealt with.
【Heavens above, can everyone please use their brain! How many fans have the words ‘Sister Liang’ brought to KK!! Don’t you know why KK suddenly became popular?? Wasn’t it because of his carrying girls proclamation!! 】
【I feel like the Weibo has a particularly high volume of stupid idiots, why do you even need to ask KK why he wants to bring girls? Of course he has to bring a girl! It brings fans and money, only a fool wouldn’t do it! 】
【It’s highly likely that KK was gay to begin with, and the matter of carrying a girl was just a method to create amusement!】
k3010;Hey, that might actually be the case!! Now that I think about it, how did he suddenly meet a girl with a nice-sounding voice only to add her as a friend later to meet for games and cohabit, there must be a group of people writing this drama behind the scenes, right? Truly amazing ah!!k3011;
【It’s no wonder why Sister Liang’s mechanics are so high, they had bought a skilled person in advance and used a voice changer, disgusting!! The fact that the fans were looking forward to seeing KK falling in love every day really makes me want to laugh to death!!】
【Is this a fan breaking away?? Handicapped, maybe Sister Liang doesn’t even exist in the first place!!】
What followed afterwards was a large-scale condemnation. Not only was Kang Shengzhe scolded on Weibo until it was completely displeasing to the eye, his MengMao TV page was also flooded with fans and passers-by calling for KK to come out and give them an explanation.
With the position he was in, it was no wonder why Kang Shengzhe’s agent Wang Lu was jumping about anxiously and Liao Su kept calling him incessantly. It was a true blackening in every sense of the word; in a day, his person was dirtied so heavily it could not be cleansed. Yesterday, he was the man of the hour but in a blink of an eye, he had turned into a rat crossing the street.
After he understood the cause and consequences, You Liangxing observed Kang Shengzhe for his reaction, only to see that even though there were new insults appearing every time he refreshed the page, Kang Shengzhe was not alarmed at all. Instead, he was lying on the bed lazily as he looked at him.
You Liangxing said: “Why didn’t you deal with this earlier?”
Kang Shengzhe said: “When it comes to dealing with anything, Liang Liang’s matters take first priority.”
You Liangxing had no choice but to admit in a mutter: “Those words are quite pleasant to listen to.”
Kang Shengzhe said: “I know how to say even more pleasant-sounding words, do you want to hear it?” Then, he leaned closer.
Using one hand to push away his face, You Liangxing asked: “Are you not worried?”
“Not worried,” Kang Shengzhe said.
You Liangxing gazed at Kang Shengzhe, searching. And as he had expected, he only perceived a deep and bottomless indifference in his eyes. You Liangxing let out an abrupt laugh: “Kang Shengzhe, if you weren’t this lazy, you would probably be more outstanding than me.”
Kang Shengzhe said: “That’s impossible, Liang Liang is the most outstanding.”
You Liangxing did not take his words to heart as he continued to sigh with deep admiration with regards to the plans that Kang Shengzhe had made. With him around, clarifying the situation would be as easy as blowing dust away, but Kang Shengzhe adamantly refused to succumb to anxiety and allowed the matter to become bigger and swell.
What was he waiting for?
Very simple, he was waiting for MengMao’s stance towards him.
Previously, You Liangxing had asked Kang Shengzhe whether he wanted to switch platforms but that had been done in a moment of impulse. However, it was evident that Kang Shengzhe had deeper thoughts about it compared to him. Did he want to change and should he change, he was currently using his own methods to weigh his options.
You Liangxing said: “You want to jump the manger?”
Kang Shengzhe said: “Initially, I was undecided.”
You Liangxing had a smile in his eyes as he looked at him. “And now?”
Kang Shengzhe: “To tell you the truth, I’ve already typed out the draft for my indentured servitude.”
In the silence, their eyes met and neither of them said a thing.
The lack of words trumped thousands of words. After a long moment, You Liangxing said: “Come over, I won’t let you eat a loss, I promise.”
Kang Shengzhe smiled: “You don’t need to promise, just this moment alone has multiplied my profits.”
A soft smile spread across You Liangxing’s face and Kang Shengzhe leaned over again. This kiss was met with success and the saturated sweetness of the gesture almost made him faint.
Later, Kang Shengzhe said: “Liang Liang, this issue…”
In just a few simple sentences, the two have already silently recognised who Kang Shengzhe would come under the jurisdiction of, and employees were bound to listen to their superior’s words. Thus, when he would make his move and how he should go about doing so was all up to You Liangxing’s decision.
You Liangxing said: “Let this continue, we’ll speak about it again when we return to City A.”
Which meant to say, before they went back, they would allow the situation to grow however it pleased. Kang Shengzhe was not alone in wanting to know what measures MengMao would adopt because You Liangxing was the same.
Since Bai Yao was no longer at the door and Kang Shengzhe was feeling sweet in his heart, he refused to give up his evil designs. He said: “Then should we…”
You Liangxing looked at him deeply, “Do you want…”
Kang Shengzhe nodded, to which You Liangxing said: “To go out and sleep?”
Kang Shengzhe: “…….” No.
You Liangxing: “Enough, let’s sleep.”
Kang Shengzhe turned off the lights, disgruntled. The room went dark soon after and he closed his eyes. He could hear You Liangxing’s soft breathing by his side, and he stretched his arm over gently to hold onto You Liangxing’s hand. He gripped it tight. “Liang Liang…”
You Liangxing assumed he wanted to be lovey-dovey again, thus he chose not to reply. However, Kang Shengzhe did not do anything extraneous; he was perfectly content with holding You Liangxing’s hand and placing it on his chest. Then, he said with a voice of bliss: “Goodnight.”
You Liangxing: “……”
Goodnight.
The night passed sweetly and the next day was equally sweet upon awakening. You Liangxing and Kang Shengzhe stayed in Beijing for three days, and during that span of time, You Liangxing went to his company twice. And since Kang Shengzhe was idle in a luxurious house, he accompanied the mother and daughter Bai Yan and Bai Yao…
To practice Yoga.
As You Liangxing was busy discussing with his staff about the digging the wall corner of MengMao and the contract arrangements, he did not expect that he would find Kang Shengzhe, a two-metre-tall hefty man in the living room stretching his arms and turning up his toes every time he returned home. In capitalised letters, it was a sight for spicy eyes.
However, it did wonders for raising Bai Yan’s favourability of him. Originally, Bai Yan wanted a daughter-in-law who would accompany her to train her physique and make her happy. But contrary to her expectations, she got a giant son-in-law instead, and while the gender was different, the effect achieved was the same. Hence, the house was happy and harmonious with a cheerful atmosphere and the usual quiet days in the house became a lot livelier.
Bai Yao liked picking at faults and she constantly wanted to correct Kang Shengzhe’s posture. Stepping on Kang Shengzhe’s back, she pulled at his arms while simultaneously kicking his long legs, causing Kang Shengzhe’s body to become a reverse bow.
“Does it hurt!”
Kang Shengzhe had a delayed reaction to pain. “It doesn’t hurt.”
Bai Yao’s eyelid jumped and she used more strength: “Does it hurt!”
Kang Shengzhe: “… It doesn’t hurt ah.”
Bai Yao: “??? It still doesn’t hurt? Laoniang will tread you to death!”
The atmosphere in the house was not bad, and the initial worries that You Liangxing had when they were coming to Beijing had long vanished into thin air. After staying at home for three days, Kang Shengzhe’s school curriculum could not be relaxed further and thus, the pair decided to go back to City A.
Before they left, You Liangxing was called into the study by You Ming to talk. After speaking for half a day and not hearing anything of importance, You Liangxing understood that You Ming was trying to drive at something very quickly. No longer wanting to beat around the bush, he could only take the initiative to say: “Dad, you don’t have to worry, I will handle everything well.”
You Ming: “……”
You Ming had never worried about You Liangxing doing something poorly, rather, he frequently complained about how his son performed too well. As a father, it had rendered him with nothing to teach.
Issuing a soft sigh, You Ming said: “You’ve already chosen your person, and since you have chosen him, treat him well. In this lifetime, you have to give all the good things to your wife, do you understand?”
You Liangxing replied: “Understood.”
Now satisfied, You Ming nodded his head before lowering his voice: “… Do you have enough to spend?”
You Liangxing could not hear him clearly, “What?”
You Ming said: “Money!”
It was then that You Liangxing reacted. Naturally, he had enough money, there had never been a time where he lacked money. However, You Liangxing’s answer was not important since You Ming proceeded to take out a card from his shirt pocket and handed it to You Liangxing.
… Why was he giving a card again.
You Liangxing said: “I have one.”
You Ming gave him a cold look in reply, “Did I say that it was for you? It’s for Kang Shengzhe.”
You Liangxing: “He doesn’t need it.”
His words made You Ming displeased. “Ah Liang, Dad has told you this before, men must exude presence when doing things. If you’re not even willing to give a card, being in a relationship with you will only signify that he’s down on his luck.”
You Liangxing: “……”
The conditions in the family required no further elaboration. Meanwhile, the other problem continued to attract the attention of a lot of people on the internet. You Liangxing and Kang Shengzhe had initially assumed that the matter would completely fall to one side until it compelled MengMao TV to stand up and speak. But against their expectations, a group of people spoke out for Kang Shengzhe in the midst of various invective hurled.
【AHHHHHHHHHHH can you please stop scolding!! None of you know the truth of the matter ah!! You ought to beware of getting your face slapped later, considering how terrible your insults are right now!!】
【I, I, ai, forget it! I’ll say it directly, I’m KK’s schoolmate, and very early in, I managed to recognise KK in school. And later, a certain speech happened and I found Sister Liang… I’m clear about Sister Liang’s identity… but this is someone else’s affairs! Every university student with some basic respect are all aware that you shouldn’t gossip blindly on the internet… my point is, Sister Liang exists, Sister Liang’s existence is real ah!】
