Later, He Became A Royal Healer-Chapter 46 - Let me explain.
Chapter 46 - Let me explain.
The shock that Jian Jian felt from the sheer coincidence of seeing the name of KK’s minor account among his teammates after he called him a person who lacked morals, could not be described with mere words. However, the person who suffered from the greatest shock was not him; whether it was Kang Shengzhe or You Liangxing… both of them were more surprised than him.
The moment he heard Little Sword Fairy’s voice, Kang Shengzhe’s heart had squeezed with a terrible yet extremely distinct premonition that he was shit out of luck. Truth to be told, he was so shocked that he could not say a single thing for a long while.
It was too coincidental.
Why did it have to be this coincidental, to the extent where he had to be matchmade with an anchor while he was on his minor account? Worse still, and by death itself, why did it have to be an anchor he knew well? Kang Shengzhe stiffened up, and he did not know how to react to the sudden happenings.
He reflexively glanced at Liang Liang’s floor. The microphone icon was flashing, but it did not emit any sound. The voice channel was quiet, and only Little Sword Fairy’s voice was constantly resounding through the game instance.
“Shit, isn’t this KK, it is, isn’t it?! I’m not hallucinating, damn, it really is, why are you here! Didn’t you just end your broadcast, why are you on your smurf despite being in a rush to get off your broadcast??? It can’t be! KK! Oi oi oi, I’m your Little Jian Jian, don’t shy away, hurry up and tell me!”
As Jian Jian spoke, his voice went on a rise in volume, rousing the people in his entire live broadcasting room as well. Even though Little Sword Fairy liked to joke that he was an anchor who was past his prime, in truth, his reputation in MengMao TV had always been at a steady high and it had scarcely dropped. Thus, even if he was not considered as one of the pillars of MengMao TV, he was still in a position that could not be ignored.
Now that he had met KK’s smurf in entertainment mode, the fans who recognised KK started getting excited.
Those who frequently watched game anchors all knew that the anchors Jian Jian and KK were close friends, and their two fan bases shared a huge overlap. As such, there were people that had been reluctant to leave KK’s broadcasting room present, and yet, at the turn of their heads, they managed to catch KK’s smurf account… When they were met with such a coincidence, it would be stranger if they did not explode.
Suddenly, the live broadcasting room kicked up a rancour.
【Ma—AHHHHHHHHHHH you didn’t see wrongly! You didn’t see wrongly, this is KK, the KK who had forsaken his fans with cruel coldness!】
【Oh my God! KK! You dead K! What are you doing! What are you doing here!!!!!】
【We can’t even make you broadcast for an extra minute, and the reason was that you wanted to play your smurf! Are you the devil!】
【Where are all the KK fans! Listen to my command!! Gather, prepare for group battle! We must beat this KK to death!!!】
In these few seconds, the game had already began. Gao Jianli, the hero that Little Sword Fairy selected and he should be pressing forward to the middle lane, but his entire focus was placed on KK, and he followed KK’s Peiqin Hu instead. Wherever Peiqin Hu went, he followed. It was fine if he chose not to follow, but once he did, he noticed that there was another person by Peiqin Hu’s side. Little Jian Jian gave them a cursory glance, and the name of the person playing Ming Shiyin caught his attention.
Little Sword Fairy stilled, “Yi—Liang Liang, Little Angel Liang Liang? Why does this name seem so familiar, hmmm, familiar, very familiar, what’s going on, why do I find it familiar? This, this, just who is this?”
The netizens’ reactions were superior to Little Sword Fairy in reaction, and those with sharp eyes and good memory had already connected it to the time where KK had been beaten by Zhong Kui and the matter of him commentating a match in an instant. A sudden frenzy spread across the audience.
【Ah, ah, holy—, isn’t this, isn’t this the girl who played Zhong Kui fffffffffffffff—】
&#k3010;My mother, it’s Sister Liang ah!!! What is this situation!!!!&#k3011;
&#k3010;????? KK is gaming with Sister Liang???? KK what the hell have you been doing behind our backs!!!&#k3011;
&#k3010;Now that I think about it, she is the soft sister that KK constantly had on his mind, and the one he even added as a friend. &#k3016;Can’t Laugh&#k3017;&#k3011;
Memory jolted by audience; Little Jian Jian recalled what had happened previously in an instant. Unlike his audience who could only write comments in the live broadcasting room, he had the luxury of saying it in a loud and direct manner. Unable to suppress his laughter, he immediately teased in a loud voice.
“Wow, KK, I didn’t think it would really come to this! When have you been this secretive? I’ve been saying that you seem rather pleased with yourself as of late, but wah, I didn’t expect that it’s because you’ve been bringing your girl around! Wah, how terrific of you! What’s with your speed? You actually moved so fast? We just talked about you carrying girls a few days back, and now you’re already playing games together, truly an unfaithful man, an unfaithful man! Are you bullying me because I don’t dare to raise a knife?!”
The live broadcasting room were endorsing his actions enthusiastically.
【Scold him! Hit him! Kill him! That’s right, he’s an unfaithful lover!】
【For secretly bringing a girl, I sentence you to death!】
【No no no, before you kill him you need to ask him what happened, when did this start and what has KK has done behind our backs!】
【I just want to ask, why aren’t you broadcasting live when you’re playing with Sister Liang! Why don’t you broadcast live!】
【I'm so angry I feel like a pufferfish!】
Kang Shengzhe knew nothing of these comments, but when he heard Little Sword Fairy’s string of ridicule, his whole heart took a sudden plunge.
These jokes did not affect other people, but for Liang Liang, it was by no means a matter that could be passed off as nothing.
Kang Shengzhe did not know how much Liang Liang knew about him where he was concerned, and because the first time they had met in game were under special circumstances, he had never discussed the incident with the other party. However, those were unimportant; what was important was that…
Before he could ruminate deeper, a delicate voice, airy and yet one that seemed to carry a thousand jin in weight, penetrated Kang Shengzhe’s ears. It was a voice that Kang Shengzhe had heard before, but it sounded foreign due to the time between then and now. However, it undoubtedly belonged to Liang Liang.
You Liangxing: “Carrying a girl?”
It was only three words, and the chill emitted from his tone sounded like it was spat from between two pieces of ice, and once it squeezed through, it became biting.
Kang Shengzhe froze on the spot.
Since You Liangxing chose to speak in their duo channel, only Kang Shengzhe could hear it, and Kang Shengzhe was the only one who could feel the change in You Liangxing’s mood at the moment.
It was as if he was as indifferent as ice; devoid of the anger that should have welled from irritation.
Kang Shengzhe’s throat went dry, and he could not restrain the panic that was rearing its head.
From the moment they opened their mics up until now, You Liangxing only said a total of three words but these three words were unimaginably heavy. In an instant, Kang Shengzhe grasped that the other party misunderstood something, and why he might be angry.
Their relationship between him and You Liangxing began in the game, and they gradually got to know each other and became closer as a result. It originated from the fact that they had a tacit understanding when they were gaming together and it truly felt like fate. While You Liangxing’s voice had given him the wrong impression that he was a girl in the beginning, he had later discovered that the other party was, in fact, male and he had made a complete change and started treating You Liangxing as he would in a male to male friendship.
The flavour of their relationship, however, would change if the hat of ‘carrying a girl’ became the basis for incitement. Then, it would come as no surprise that his attitude became a cold indifferent in a short quarter of an hour.
If a friendship was superseded by the intentions to carry a girl, anyone’s heart would go cold, to say nothing of the fact that You Liangxing was male by natural gender. Not only was it a question of not being able to read the atmosphere, he was also being subjected to an indignity.
Kang Shengzhe, a person who had always been steadfast in the face of any issue in the past, was suddenly at a loss. He opened his mouth a few times but he did not know what to say, and he became increasingly anxious, and time slipped out of his fingers quicker. It was only after a few, long dozen of seconds that he said: “Liang Liang, let me explain.”
However, You Liangxing remained very quiet, and soundless.
Only the oblivious Jian Jian was continuously laughing: “KK, why aren’t you talking, you better play well; look at what you are playing, you should hurry up and grab kills. Shouldn’t you put a good show in front of Sister Liang? I reckon that Sister Liang is more skilled than you, ai! I was just talking to you, where are you going! So weak!”
With Kang Shengzhe’s thoughts being in a state of turmoil, it was unsurprising as to why Little Sword Fairy kept yelling; not only was he incapable of holding himself up and playing very poorly, he went to hit the wall a few times.
“Wow, you want to carry a girl with this level of skill? I’m really unconvinced. Sister Liang, did you see that? Don’t you dislike him and want to avoid him? Maybe you might want to reconsider, I can carry you next round instead~ Sister Liang?”
Sister Liang, Sister Liang… Kang Shengzhe could not resist opening the entire team voice channel and said: “What Sister Liang, don’t speak arbitrarily.”
The three words ‘don’t speak arbitrarily’ might try to sound as flat as possible, but it concealed an undeniable agitation and frigidity within it. Little Sword Fairy lurched, immediately noticing that KK’s emotions had reacted to the jokes that the live broadcasting room had been laughing to. Thus, he switched the topic.
“KK, you’re playing really poorly this round, looks like it’s up to me to carry, come, come come, let me show a wave! I need to get a shining and brilliant penta kill while KK is acting as a foil. Hahaha.”
Little Sword Fairy’s calibre was extremely high, and the rhythm of the chaotic brawl was equally fast. When the notification for his penta kill was issued, the game ended in a victory in less than three minutes. The enemy’s crystal nexus exploded and Little Sword Fairy’s voice disappeared accordingly. The entire game room was drenched in silence – Kang Shengzhe’s game results were at the bottom while You Liangxing’s results were considered moderate, and it was obvious that he did not perform to his usual standards either.
Kang Shengzhe altered his speech settings back to the party frequency, which was completely silent. He hesitated for a few seconds before he summoned his courage to say: “Liang Liang…”
You Liangxing’s avatar went grey.
He had left the match instance, and Kang Shengzhe chased after him closely. He tapped on the friend’s list and noticed in a short moment’s work that You Liangxing had simultaneously withdrawn from King’s Glory.
…. He was really angry.
Kang Shengzhe’s heart took a deeper plunge and he entered his WeChat. However, even as his fingers hovered above his keyboard, he only felt like his language was extremely lacking.
In his moment of hesitation,【Jian Jian】messaged him on WeChat, worry seeping into his tone.
[Jian Jian]: — K, did I do something wrong?
Kang Shengzhe calmed himself down. Scratching his head, he replied: — Not your fault.
So something did happen. Little Sword Fairy felt a wave of regret, and because he did not know what mistake he had made, he could only say: — Sorry.
But Kang Shengzhe had always thought Jian Jian to be blameless; it was never Jian Jian’s fault to begin with, and if they wanted to blame something, they had to blame that it was too coincidental, to the point where it was as if God was playing him on purpose.
After he finished conversing with Jian Jian, he opened his chat with You Liangxing again. He hesitated for a long time before he finally sent out a text.
Once he was done, he returned back to King’s Glory and logged out of his alternate account before he used his main account of “Victor KK”. Then, he searched for You Liangxing’s account in the search bar and sent a friend request.
He was going to add Liang Liang with his main account after the game.
That was what they agreed on.
The author has something to say: It’s not God that is playing you, it’s me, thank you.
T/N: Man, this chapter begun as a dumpster fire and ended as one. Translator was holding her head and crying as she typed out KK’s doom.
