Chapter 48: Dont mourn. (1/2)

In an instant, Wang Lu’s head descended into all-out chaos. He raised his head, and in the same instance where the person’s face was a blur, he could only say out of conditioned reflex: “K, KK?”

“En.”

The voice was familiar, the ‘en’ he made had a listless taste, and it was congruous to KK’s character. Confused, Wang Lu took a step back and pulled a little distance between him and KK. Concurrently, his gaze landed on KK’s visage.

His moment of blankness was swept away by a delirium of frenzy in a blink of eye.

Such a, such a good thing actually happened…

KK was way too dazzling!

In Wang Lu’s opinion, not only was he better than Piaoluo, he was evidently better than Howling Wolf by a level even when he made a general comparison to the anchor circles.

However, such a comparison was not appropriate in a subtle way; truth to be told, the person in front of him could not be described with terms meant for young men like dashing or handsome and spirited. He was not handsome per se, rather, it was a unique temperament of… beauty.

KK was very tall, and a conservative estimate of his height was two metres, and by benefit of his well-proportioned body, he did not look frail. Despite being taller than what people usually constituted as tall, his height did not look alarming, rather, with his indescribable temperament, it gave off the feeling that he was supposed to look like that.

In summary, he was blessed with deep and exquisite facial features which made him exceptionally beautiful, and it propped up his two-metre long frame, making him look like an international male model with a touch of gloominess when he had an expression of decadence.

Wang Lu was surprised at first, and once he calmed down, he became ecstatic right afterwards. He was filled with enthusiasm when he said: “Good, this is really good. It’s good that you’re here, right, are you air sick? Do you need some time to rest?”

Kang Shengzhe shook his head and said: “No need.”

It was still the same listless voice and Wang Lu could not help but be attracted to the noise. Despite his enthusiasm, he did not forget that KK’s condition was his main priority. He scrutinised him carefully and realised that not only was he dispirited, his eyes were underlined with greenish-blacks as if he hadn’t slept enough. Thankfully, his foundation was good and he had a natural air of dejectedness. Otherwise, he did not know how many impression points his dark circles would have deducted.

Wang Lu felt anxious, “Did you not sleep yesterday? Did something happen to someone?”

Kang Shengzhe simply said: “Nothing’s wrong.”

How could there be nothing wrong, it was obvious that he had no intention to say it out loud. Guessing that it was a private matter, he decided it was best not to ask, and he only prayed that it would not affect his work. He lowered his head to check the time before saying: “Okay, we’ll head to the company first then. Where’s your luggage, is it checked?”

Kang Shengzhe shook his head and said: “No.”

“No? You came out empty-handed? Wait, was it stolen?” Wang Lu was surprised. Scanning Kang Shengzhe and his vicinity, he realised that there really was no suitcase or luggage in sight.

Kang Shengzhe did not speak and he only turned to his side. Wang Lu lifted his head and saw a bag pack on his back. It was not large in size, and it was estimated that it could only fit a few items. Since Kang Shengzhe was very tall, the bag was basically hidden from Wang Lu’s vision.

“You only have that bag.”

“En.”

Wang Lu said: “I see, okay, give that to me. You should rest a little in the car first. No matter what, it’s better for you to take a nap.”

Kang Shengzhe did not reject his suggestion and Wang Lu dutifully took his charge’s bag pack and it was lighter than he expected. When he touched it, he felt a slight bulge and he was unsure what was inside it.

Kang Shengzhe got into the car’s backseat but in his opinion, the carriage was still a little too small. Even after he deliberately slid down a little to seat his upper body properly, there was no space to rest his legs.

Sensing his discomfort, Wang Lu hurriedly adjusted his front seat, restricting himself in order to give Kang Shengzhe more space. Simultaneously, taking advantage of the fact that Kang Shengzhe had yet to fall asleep, Wang Lu gritted his teeth and told Kang Shengzhe about the current situation.

“…The events happened too suddenly. Piaoluo intends to wholeheartedly overshadow us, but we still have a chance. We’ll have to observe Bai Yao’s attitude later, so you ought to perform properly. But you don’t need to be too nervous, just be natural and cordial and you’ll be fine… KK?”

Kang Shengzhe returned to his reverie: “Listening.”

Wang Lu paused and sighed softly, unsure of how much KK had heard. However, even when they dug to the bottom of the matter, he did not fulfil his responsibilities as his agent and he had no right to lecture KK. He could only assert: “En, as long as your heart has its own calculations, you’ll be able to get past today. Regarding the contract, I promise that there won’t be any mistakes, so you can rest assured.”

From the beginning, Kang Shengzhe never harboured much enthusiasm for the collaboration, and as a natural consequence, the changes in the situation did not agitate him much. However, he could discern Wang Lu’s seriousness, so he nodded.

Wang Lu felt like a load had been lifted off his shoulders. His expression loosened, “You should rest, sleep for a bit.”

Kang Shengzhe made a noise as his response and closed his eyes despite having no intention to sleep. Rather than feeling sleepy, he unconsciously inhaled air into his chest and let out a slow, deep sigh.

Hey—

Originally, he had been looking forward to coming to Beijing, but he did not expect that when the day really arrived, he would be in the middle of a cold war with Liang Liang.

After being matchmade with Little Sword Fairy last night, Kang Shengzhe had sent a friend request from his main account and left him a message on WeChat, but he received no response to either of them.

As a result, he had tossed and turned in bed the whole night, feeling like something was not right. And for the first time, Kang Shengzhe experienced what insomnia was like.

According to his logic, Liang Liang ran every morning, and it was impossible that he did not see his message. If that was the case, why did he not reply?
