Chapter 32: Lightning rod
“Ah… no, no, LuLu, don’t say it like that. Supporting you is a given. If we are really able to return to the real world, I’ll continue supporting you because you’re a very talented broadcaster.” Pan Hua replied to LuLu.
“I’m very talented?” LuLu didn’t have confidence in her voice, leading her to question what he said. When she was in her mansion in the real world, the internet had a lot of people who would compliment her. But there were even more people who’d disgrace her. This was her first time meeting up with a fan, and having a conversation with one.
“You are definitely outstanding! I first watched your broadcast when the gimmick was about beautiful girls playing video games. My impression towards you wasn’t that deep then, I only thought you were very beautiful, but ever since that day…” Pan Hua began thinking of the past.
“What day?” LuLu’s curiosity was sparked by what Pan Hua had said.
“Until the day when you were in-between broadcasting, and you sang a song. The song was [See you again]. It moved my heart the way you sang. After that moment, I couldn’t resist falling for you. Then every night after, I would go straight to your broadcast.” Pan Hua blushed revealing his sweet expression — the same butterfly feeling and expression of a young man in love.
[TN: LOL. That’s the closest song in chinese to the name.]
“I don’t remember…” LuLu showing a face of regret. She had too many fans because she was a female game broadcaster. Even though she was a broadcaster, she could also sing with her soothing voice. So even during broadcasts, she would often talk and even sing a little bit. As to which song she sang, she definitely didn’t remember the moment Pan Hua had mentioned.
[TN: LOL. GG NO RE.] [ED: Savage, especially the next part.]
“LuLu, could you sing [See you again] one more time?” Pan Hua eagerly asked LuLu.
“I’m not in the mood…” LuLu shook her head. If she was in the broadcasting room, she’d be glad to entertain her fan with the song, but with the current situation she wasn’t herself.
Pan Hua tried to laugh it off, and didn’t say anything afterwards. Right now, he already felt very fortunate and lucky for being able to be with LuLu.
“Fatty, if I don’t go back tonight, or these next few days… or even the upcoming months, will my fans forget me?” LuLu asked Pan Hua. This was her main concern as to why she wasn’t in the mood.
“Of course not, we’re your hardcore fans. If you aren’t here for a few days, or even a few months, we’ll wait until you’ve returned.” Pan Hua quickly replied to LuLu. As a die-hard fan, he would do anything for her.
“Fatty, you really are a good person! We don’t even know how much longer is left until we can actually return…” LuLu said as her eyes began tearing, as she laid in bed. This time is when her broadcasting usually ended, but since she was trapped here, her fans must’ve been really disappointed…
She knew that Pan Hua was trying his best to comfort her.
“Don’t worry, we’ll think of a way out of this alive.” Pan Hua motivated LuLu.
LuLu didn’t make a sound, she was exhausted. She laid on the bed with her eyes closed. Being trapped in this apocalyptic world, she has no feeling of safety. She has to be wary of zombies, and now she has to be even more careful of men. She knows that law and order is a thing of the past — men will become more like beasts. In this chaotic world, females have no protection. In the end, they’ll become the playthings of men.
Since LuLu didn’t say anything, silence filled the room. Very soon, Pan Hua started snoring — it seemed like he’d passed out. LuLu was impressed with his ability to be able to fall asleep so fast even in this type of situation.
