“Who isn’t? But seriously, Jiang is so handsome! He’s even more attractive than those popular idols we’ve worked with—tall and with such a great figure.”
“I originally thought that the big shot wouldn’t be down to Earth like us, but turns out he’s just like the rest of us mortals. I also think kid is so cute.”
A slightly older employee, looking bewildered, said, “Did my internet cut off? Can someone fill me in on who this kid is?”
“Didn’t you see yesterday’s trending topics?”
Another person located the trending entries: #池星宇双排绝美路人# and #池童cp#.
“He’s a streamer from the Mengya platform’s gaming section, and he’s super cute when he plays duo with 君星宇; he even blushes! You should check out yesterday’s recording.”
“Oh my god, he’s so cute! In that moment, I understood Jiang—his taste is amazing!”
After sending off 江辞宴, Sun Tao looked at the staff crowded together, gushing about kid’s looks and personality. He frowned, feeling a deeper sense of worry than they did.
They had hosted many cute artists before, but everyone knew those were just manufactured personas. Behind the scenes, their personalities were often terrible; some were even night club types.
Let’s hope that this kid isn’t just putting on an act.
The driver for 江辞宴 opened the car door for him, and he stepped inside.
As the vehicle moved slowly, he rubbed his forehead.
At that moment, his phone buzzed.
Looking at the contact on his phone, the coldness in his brow softened a bit as he tapped to answer, “Grandma.”
On the other end was a gentle, elderly voice, “Xiao Yan, your 26th birthday is next month. When are you planning to date?”
江辞宴 replied softly, “Grandma, you’ve already mentioned this many times.”
“It’s just that I worry about you not taking care of yourself,” his grandma said. “Honestly, as long as there’s someone by your side, both Mom and I will feel at ease.”
The 江 family was quite distant; 江夫人 passed away shortly after giving birth, and 江父 remarried a woman with a baby bump just six months later, sending the young 江辞宴 back to his maternal home.
He grew up with his grandma, and all his accomplishments were unrelated to the 江 family. His greatest concern was only for the grandma who had always taken care of him.
“Grandma, don’t worry. I have someone I like now.”
He had initially planned to join a dating reality show just to ease his grandma’s worries, hinting that he wasn’t the type to date seriously.
Yesterday, while looking at the show details on Weibo, he stumbled upon a trending video featuring a boy with cat ear headphones—he referred to himself as kid.
It was a strange feeling; for the first time, he felt like someone fit perfectly into what he envisioned.
At that moment, 江辞宴 had a thought.
Since he was already participating in a dating show, why not try dating someone he found attractive?
After hanging up, he looked at the pink avatar on WeChat.
Kid.
The name matched well with his personality.
In the next moment, kid sent a new message.
Kid: “Assistant, can I ask you anything?” [blush][blush][blush]
江辞宴 typed a few words.
Assistant: “Sure.”
Kid: “Just to clarify, the answers I filled out earlier—nobody aside from the staff should see them, right?”
江辞宴, who had already read them: “…”
A few seconds later, his phone buzzed.
Assistant: “No.”
童岁 let out a long breath.
That’s a relief; it would be too embarrassing if it got broadcasted in front of so many people.
Knowing there was still time, he changed into a casual outfit and decided to go to the hospital for his health check.
After getting dressed, 童岁 went downstairs and waited by the curb for his booked ride.
Due to the morning rush hour in H City, his car got stuck in traffic. As people passed by, many turned to look at him with excited eyes.
“Kid!”
Being suddenly called out by his online name was frightening for 童岁.
He turned around to see two girls who seemed only slightly older than him running over, “Wow! I watched your live stream with Pool God yesterday; you’re even cuter in person than on camera!”
童岁 clutched his phone, feeling shy from their praise, his ears turning red.
But he only had a few thousand fans…
How could anyone on the street know his name? Help!
One of the girls grinned, “Was the fried chicken good last night?”
Ugh.
童岁 responded, “Yes, it was good.”
Luckily, the driver heard him calling and soon 童岁 got into the car, heading toward the hospital for his health check.
By the time he finished the check and received the receipt, it was already noon.
童岁’s phone vibrated.
池星宇: “Morning.”
He glanced at the time; it was already 12 o’clock.
What position does this guy, who sleeps in until the afternoon, have to criticize what he eats as lacking nutrition?
Kid: [picture]
Kid: “Early risers have already accomplished a lot.”
池星宇, lying in bed, had spent the previous night dreaming.
He dreamt of the cute boy wearing cat ears smiling and leaning toward him, softly whispering that he liked boys.
Then, he leaned in even closer.
It felt like their faces were touching, but 池星宇 didn’t know what that sensation was like, as he had never experienced it before; he pondered for a long time and could neither figure it out nor fall asleep.
池星宇 rubbed his aching temples, opening the image that kid sent.
Upon seeing a few words from the health report, he couldn’t hold back any longer; his head exploded with odd sparks of revelation.
Last night’s hint of liking boys and now a suggestion of being very healthy.
