Chapter 64: Live Broadcast. (Upper) (1/2)
Time flew by quickly; nights and days alternated and in what seemed like a blink of an eye, it was another day.
Two days later, under the constant publicity reminders by MengMao TV’s official Weibo, a large number of fans were already camping outside the live broadcast room that was being heavily recommended on the MengMao TV homepage.
Today was the sixth of July, and it was the day where Bai Yao was slated to arrive in the King’s Canyon.
Before the live broadcast officially started, the live broadcast room opened first, and as a display of impartiality and earnestness, the live broadcast room was opened under Bai Yao’s name instead of KK’s or Piaoluo’s. Early in the morning, the host responsible for the event made his appearance first to hype up the entire crowd.
The host smiled at the camera: “The live broadcast will officially begin at ten, are you looking forward to it? Hahaha, no need to be anxious; Bai Yao is in the backstage putting on her make-up, and KK and Piaoluo are also backstage. Why, do you want to see them? Ah? We can’t do that, if I launched such a surprise attack, my pitiful head will be blown off.”
The audience was very lively and the number of people turning up increased by the second. Bai Yao and King’s Glory’s ability to rally fans was out of the norm, and with the support of KK and Piaoluo’s fans, the live broadcasting room’s comments brushed past at a rate that could dazzle eyes, and it was basically unreadable.
But at this moment, even though it was impossible to read the contents, it was easy to guess that everyone was urging the host to take a walk around the backstage.
【I want to see Bai Yao, Yao Yao Yao Yao Yao Yao!】
【If you hand over Bai Yao, I won’t kill you!】
【A fly rubbing its hands, extremely expectant!!】
【Bai Yao and Piaoluo are fine, but is no one looking forward to KK, an anchor who has never revealed his face…?】
【Will we really see KK himself? Tensed.】
While there were a lot of fans who came for Bai Yao, the fans of King’s Glory could not be underestimated either. And to those fans, KK revealing his face today could be considered as a highlight that could not be ignored. Additionally, with the recent surge in KK’s wife fans, each and every one of them were rubbing their hands and holding their breaths in anticipation.
【Quickly quickly quickly quickly quickly quickly~】
The host feigned a headache at their reactions. Although his mouth was uttering ‘no way, no way’, his actions spoke otherwise as he continued to walk towards the backstage. Naturally, saying no was just an act; in fact, in the live broadcast programme, surprising the backstage was a scheduled segment.
They had communicated with Bai Yao and the two anchors in advance. When the camera panned over to them, the images taken of the celebrity and anchors were of them in a perfected state.
The host walked over. And from a place where the camera was not directed at, there was someone who pointed them towards a certain direction. Dutifully, the camera moved over and Bai Yao, who had been touching up on her makeup, turned her head and smiled brightly at the camera.
The fans immediately exploded. After exchanging a few sentences with Bai Yao, the host was smiling as he continued to walk, “Now that we’ve seen Bai Yao, let’s go in and take a look at our anchors. Hahaha, KK and Piaoluo fans, where are you, are both your hands raised? Okay, who do you want to see first?”
The barrage in the live broadcast sped up, and the fans from both sides were commenting like crazy.
【See KK! KKKKKK! KKKKKK!】
【Of course it’s KK!】
【Piaoluo Piaoluo Piaoluo!】
His words were half-completed when the staff member at the side was anxiously gesturing at him. From their mouthing, it seemed like KK was late, and he did not have the time to put on makeup.
The host changed his phrasing on the spot and spouted: “We can’t see KK yet; the most anticipated thing should always be left for last. Are you curious about KK’s appearance? Hahaha, I’m curious too. Therefore, we should go and find Piaoluo, oh, Piaoluo looks dashing today, everyone, hurry up and say hello.”
As he spoke, the camera view turned and a person clad in a light-coloured outfit entered the frame. Today, he had chosen to wear a faint colour which gave him a refreshing image, and paired with a gentle and amicable smile, it caused a wave of shrieks.
“Good morning everyone, I’m Piaoluo.”
【OMG Piaoluo! You’re usually very handsome! But you’re especially handsome today!】
【Waaaahh what kind of soft halo is this >.
【Truly an anchor who depends on his face value to eat.】
【It can be said that he is very handsome.】
Due to the fact that KK was not prepared yet, the anchor had no choice but to linger around Piaoluo for a little longer. After trading a full seven to eight lines, the anchor finally said: “Audience members, you don’t need to keep pushing; we’re going to go see KK now. Wah, I’m so excited.”
Despite proclaiming that they were going to take a look, the host’s pace was rather slow. The distance separating KK and Piaoluo’s holding rooms was just one door, and, the host and the cameraman had anxiety tinging their faces with every step they took.
Taking a deep breath, the host stated, “I’m knocking on the door, everyone, prepare yourselves.”
【I’m ready!!!】
【Come! Let the truth come with a sudden violence!】
【Wuuu, I’m suddenly agonised.】
The camera faced the door, and only a hand was visible as he knocked on it twice. In less than a second, there was the wave of commotion coming out from the woodwork. Let alone the people standing outside the door, even the live broadcasting room could hear the voice of the female makeup artist yelling.
Immediately after, the door was unlocked and opened, and only a chest was revealed in the camera frame. Concurrently, a magnetic voice that the fans were extremely familiar with rang out lazily. “… Morning.”
The host froze, startled by the fact that he only saw a chest. He only managed to react a second later by raising his head to look, and in his moment of delay, the live broadcasting room had already exploded in an uproar.
k3010;??? WTF! Chest???k3011;
k3010;Hold on a minute, didn’t we see Piaoluo’s face at this height just now???k3011;
k3010;WTF, what’s with his height, is this KK?? Is KK that tall??k3011;
The instant the host drank in KK’s full appearance, his heart jumped. However, the cause was not KK’s face value. His individual professionalism had always ranked first and he could not help but secretly curse k2018;this is not good’ because he had arrived too early no matter how hard he tried to stall. There was not a speck of make-up on KK’s face.
After the pause, he could only toughen his scalp for the inevitable and adjust the camera upwards, revealing deep and profound facial features as well as a sharp nose, wherein the angle made it seem as though he was looking down at the camera. Instantaneously, the audience fell into a dumfounded stupor. And then it detonated the live broadcasting room with an unprecedented momentum!
What kind of face was this exactly?
The angle used was supposed to be the most destructive towards a person’s face value and it was evident that the beauty in front of them was completely without any cosmetics. His appearance was that of someone who was sleepy and tired; there were faint dark circles underneath his eyes and this impression was only further exacerbated by his askew ponytail and tussled hair. All in all, he was decadence in a flash.
【What the hell is this, a golden age of beauty!?】
【He’s so good-looking WTF!! This doesn’t conform to the standard peach blossom eyes!】
【EXM, a mixed-race male model?】
【AHHHHHHHH this man is so pure and unpretentious and freaking beautiful!】
【This is actually my KK… so happy I could die.】
The sudden appearance of an attractive person laid an explosive assault that bombarded with extreme lethality; not only did KK fans burst into a frenzy, even countless of initial Bai Yao fans were killed in an instant. No matter when or where it was, the lethality of his attractiveness had always been beyond mortal estimation, to say nothing of it when his method of appearance was unexpected. Even if he was bare faced, it would not detract his ability to harvest kills.
【A person with his face value is actually an anchor who chooses not to reveal his face… Indeed, he is a man who relies on his talent to eat.】
【AHHHHH someone give me a scientific explanation to justify this little brother’s existence, how could he possibly be this handsome!!!】
【A fan in a second, don’t ask me why.】
【Biting KK and not letting go.】
【Originally came for Yaoyao, but now… Ummm please let Male C debut.】
The response from the live broadcasting room was extremely enthusiastic, and the profit gained from misfortune made the host sigh in relief, “KK, come over quickly and say hello.”
Kang Shengzhe’s reaction, on the other hand, was rather slow. He opened his mouth as if he was going to speak but he twisted his neck backwards and yawned instead. It was only after that he greeted the audience in an indolent manner: “Hello everyone, I’m KK.”
The waves in the live broadcasting room was turbulent, and the heat that it brought was far stronger than the instance where Piaoluo was introduced.
【Listening to this voice, it really is KK!】
【With his voice accompanying that face, AHHHHHHHHH sorry I couldn’t help it.】
【Name your price, how many gifts does it take for you to willingly eat a meal with me.】
【Begging you to reveal your face in future broadcasts, I’ll even kneel for you!!】
【As expected, good-looking people are always wayward; yawning during in live broadcast, do I even need to ask who this person is!!】
Seeing that the live broadcast room was so animated, the host had the intention to extend the conversation. However, before he could start a topic, the makeup artist standing outside of the camera frame had already sent him a few eye rolls. Having taken a hint, the host hurriedly said: “The live broadcast is about to begin, we should go back to the main stage to wait. Everyone, there is no need to be anxious, when the broadcast begins in a bit, you can look for as long as you want.”
The audience was reluctant to part. Within the span of a few short minutes, the female fans who had only come for Bai Yao and possessed little to no interest in the live broadcast started displaying a formidable viscosity, and unbeknownst to Kang Shengzhe, he had wracked up countless of fans from the lethality of his face value alone.
After sending away the host that was responsible for livening the crowd, Kang Shengzhe was immediately pressed into a chair by a Wang Lu who had been hiding behind his back. Without wasting a moment, the makeup artist dusted some foundation on his face while Wang Lu could not resist going on another tirade. “Didn’t I tell you that you’re not allowed to oversleep, what were you even doing last night! Thankfully, you made it in time!”
Kang Shengzhe drew out his words: “I was in a special bootcamp, if I didn’t make it… I’ll go on barefaced.” After a few days of recuperation, his voice had completely recovered but because he just woke up, he did not feel like talking.
“What special bootcamp? Forget it, let’s put this aside. If it was the appearance you had when you first arrived in Beijing, it would have been passable; but now with your left eye – take a look at it yourself – it’s still bruised even though it’s been a few days since you were beaten up.”
When his eye was mentioned, Kang Shengzhe glanced at the mirror and noticed that it was slightly greenish blue in hue and he could not help but curl his lips soundlessly. He straightened his back and looked towards the makeup artist as he retrieved his phone and went knocking on You Liangxing’s chat.
— Live broadcast, are you watching?
There was no reply from You Liangxing. Kang Shengzhe waited for a while but he had to temporarily stash it away under Wang Lu’s urging.
Expression tense, Wang Lu said strictly: “When you came in just now, did you glance at Piaoluo?”
When this matter was brought up, it meant serious business. Kang Shengzhe lightly slapped his cheeks to rouse his brain. “No, I didn’t look at him.”
“But he kept staring at you.”
