It was another annual celebration for DK, and this time the special dinner event would be held at Star Light Plaza. Besides the top tier streamers, quite a few of the less popular streamers were also included in the invitations. 

The celebratory event would be livestreamed the entire time, and there were even awards being given, like the Best Newcomer Award. It could be considered a very popular internet event, with a lot of buzz surrounding it, and its spectacle was definitely not any less than that of the entertainment industry.

Kai Yan was a streamer in the dance category. He has about three hundred thousand fans or so, but he has been stuck in place, not going up nor going down, for a long while now. Just barely considered passing the threshold for an invitation.

All those who sat in front were higher ranking executives of DK and well known streamers while all other smaller streamers could only pick up the leftover seats at the back.

At this current time, the MC was just hyping up the crowd, conversing with the audience and the streamers, and he was good at his job. But suddenly, someone walked in and his surroundings immediately erupted into sharp and loud piercing shrieks. Not only the audience beside him, but also some of the female streamers whose excited and enthusiastic faces were blushing red.

Kai Yan’s neck stretched out, looking curiously towards the stage. It was the hottest streamer of the gaming category, one with enormous viewing counts and subscribers, a godtier streamer, KKK. The other was in a well fitted suit, and with a tall body and a pair of long legs, he was way more handsome in person than on a screen. Quite a few rumors had been spread that an uncountable amount of scouters wanted him to dive right into the entertainment industry, but he has never accepted, choosing to only focus on playing games. Only a few years and his popularity was already way higher than Wan Ye.

But he had no relation to himself.

Kai Yan retracted his envious eyes, just noticing that there was a young man next to him with an aura of coldness and indifference around him. The other was way too overly pale, as like he was made of jade. With the dim blue light shining down, there was a strange, almost unknowing kind of indescribable seductiveness to him.

Since he was seated here, his fans had to be around three to four hundred thousand or so, around the same level as him.

Kai Yan was bored, and without any added pressure for socializing in his heart, he leaned over to start a conversation, 

“Hey, what category are you from? Let’s get to know each other, share fans. I’m Kai Yan from the dancing category.”

The young man was a bit cold and indifferent to the point where he was a bit unsociable. He only looked at Kai Yan briefly before turning back to focus his gaze on the stage, not saying a single word. Kai Yan noticed that there was a sketchbook on his knees, and with a lightbulb lighting up in his head, he realized, 

“Oh, you are from the drawing community huh. No wonder why I have never seen you before.”

Those in the drawing community don’t really reveal their faces, as their main point was to look at their hands.

The young man still didn’t say a word.

After the MC introduced the main guest, it was time for the DK executives to give their speeches. Kai Yan noticed that the young man beside him suddenly retracted his gaze, lowering his head to open his sketchbook and draw. The tip of his pencil lightly touched the paper, faintly creating scratching noises.

The drawing was of a very old and aged street. Out in front of the old tenement buildings were clothing lines alongside tightly bundled electrical wires hanging in midair. The street itself was bustling with a crowd, and in front of a restaurant stationed by the street was a girl in a ponytail who had large eyes and thick eyebrows, waving to attract customers.

On the roadside railing sat a young man dressed in a black skull tee. He oozed arrogance and confidence as he was bending down to speak with another undecipherable looking young man whose head was lowered. In his hands was tightly grasped a bag full of plastic bottles.

It was a drawing full of life, and even with the monotone colors, it could not hide the faint gentleness and warmness depicted by the picture. Kai Yan somehow felt that the teen on the railing looked a bit familiar, but he could not recall who it was.

At this time, the stage began the awards ceremony. The Most Popular award this year was no doubt going to K-Da again, and the MC didn’t go beating around the bush. In the midst of a loud and thunderous applause, the MC invited him to step up on stage to take his award.

Weirdly enough, the young man beside him stopped drawing again and looked back up on stage.

The MC began with a little icebreaker, 

“K-Da, actually, there is one thing your fans have always been especially curious about, and that includes me, because I’m also your fan. Could you tell us, is the person you are following your wife?”

TL Tidbits:

And that’s a wrap on Wen Chuo and Bai Yang… It’s certainly been an interesting story of Wen Chuo finally taking responsibility for his own life and future, rather than to depend on a family that was never interested otherwise, and for a better ending for our couple! I hope you’ve enjoyed their story!

And can you believe we’re so close to the end??? It’s a crazy thing for me to look back on, and realize what I have done haha. And I definitely thank each and every one of you who made it this far with me! ʚ♡⃛ɞ(ू•ᴗ•ू❁)

In regards to the new volume, I’ve been thinking to change the release dates, possibly to Tuesday/Saturday (AoE timezone still), and Plum has been thinking to change the usual time they help me publish the chapters. So I am going to tentatively say either Sept 28th or Oct 2nd for the next chapter… but if there’s any changes, please take a look  – I’ll update that section as soon as Plum and I can work out what we’re thinking.

So for now, hopefully I’ll see you all Galactic Judges very soon for the next volume (which is historical again… ahh…. pain is incoming… |_-。) ).
