Chapter 431: After Losing Weight, You All Love Me (43)

Chapter 431: After the Weight Loss, Everyone Loves Me (43)

At the corner of the venue, Tang Qing once again gently touched Lu Tongchu's cheek and repeated, "Look into my eyes, don’t look away."

A breeze swept by, causing the bell on Tang Qing’s waist to emit a crisp, clear sound.

Like the most beautiful melody in the world, it instantly soothed all of Lu Tongchu’s agitation from the day.

The gloom on Lu Tongchu’s face dissipated. He lowered his head slightly, revealing his softest side, all to earn the pity and care of the person before him.

"System Notification: Detected an increase in Lu Tongchu’s affection value. Current affection value: 73 points."

Thanks to this group of high-quality cosplayers, the official event for "Landscape Scroll" completely went viral!

Not only on the "Landscape Scroll 818" forum, but also on StarNet, Weibo... all social media platforms were flooded with related content!

"Drool-worthy—you Landscape Scroll players really have it good."

"Holy crap, I already quit the game, but now I’m so tempted! I’m going to re-download Landscape Scroll right now!"

"The Taoist priest is so handsome, the drunkard is so wild! And most importantly! My wife is so beautiful!"

...

Amid this overwhelming barrage of posts, it was impossible for Xing Zhe not to notice.

So it turned out she had also attended the offline event for Landscape Scroll and cosplayed as Dream Illusion Princess...

For a split second, Xing Zhe suddenly felt a pang of regret!

If she’d known earlier...

She should have gone too.

As she casually scrolled through StarNet, almost every video featured event photos from that day.

Every time she came across a photo of Tang Qing as Dream Illusion Princess in the event photos, Xing Zhe would instinctively pause.

"Hello, folks, it’s Dayu here. I’m back home now!"

Perhaps by coincidence, Xing Zhe came across Dayu’s live stream.

Someone in the chat happened to ask who the most beautiful character at the event was, and Dayu answered without hesitation: "Duh! Dream Illusion Princess, of course!"

"She’s really beautiful! Seeing her in person feels completely different..."

As he spoke, Dayu’s mind replayed the moment he interacted with the goddess—her exquisite face, her perfectly portrayed long legs, and the way she looked at him...

Right in front of all his viewers, Dayu felt his nose heat up again!

In a fluster, he hurriedly grabbed a tissue to stop his unruly nose from bleeding!

"Dayu, you just had too good a time at the event, your body can’t handle all that excitement, you know?"

"Spread the word: another male streamer on StarNet lost it again."

"Dayu, you need to think hard about what exactly was going through your mind just now! Every time Dream Illusion Princess is mentioned, you get a nosebleed."

It’s as if the words "Dream Illusion Princess" are Dayu’s special kryptonite—they just can’t be brought up.

"Can't blame me for this, just look for yourselves..."

"Hehehe, this is a perk you only get in my stream, bro—special angle!"

With one hand covering his nose and the other still determined to share the on-site recorded video with the audience, Dayu—dude had studied photography before—had set up his camera in advance for this interaction.

Not only was the angle perfect, but the filters and parameters were all meticulously adjusted, giving the footage an inherent artistic vibe.

He hit play.

In the livestream, the perfectly proportioned Dream Illusion Princess raised her hand slightly, facing the camera, and slowly said, "You can't escape my grasp."

That face was way too close to the camera!

Viewers in the livestream even felt the illusion that the goddess was lifting their chins, that she was speaking directly to them!

In an instant, the stream peaked!

"Holy shit! I knew Dayu ate well, but I didn’t expect him to eat this well!"

"No wonder this guy got a nosebleed—how did he manage to score an interaction like this?"

"Damn! That’s my wife! My wife spoke to me!"

"Hey brothers, this round really isn’t Dayu’s fault—I can’t handle it either..."

...

The angle was so calculated that every viewer felt as though Dream Illusion Princess had just flirted with them!

Everyone's hearts were racing!

Sitting in front of the screen, Xing Zhe was spaced out for a long time!

It was just a video, yet Xing Zhe swore Tang Qing had actually touched his chin!

A tingly, electric sensation spread uncontrollably in all directions!

Completely beyond his control!

Xing Zhe’s finger hovered mid-air for a second before he sent an 888 "Gift King" to Dayu.

Along with the gift effects, Xing Zhe typed in the livestream chat: "Play the video again."

Dayu was momentarily stunned before exclaiming, "Thank you to this 'Explosive Drummer' bro for the Gift King!"

"Hehehe, this fan must think my video is pretty good—thanks for recognizing my skills!"

"Alright then, I’ll play it again for everyone!"

Pressing play once more, Xing Zhe fixed his eyes on Tang Qing on the screen, zoning out Dayu’s somewhat over-the-top commentary.

All he could see was her...

She was truly beautiful.

Among all his past relationships, it was rare—Xing Zhe felt, for the first time, a clear and unmistakable heart flutter.

"System alert: Detected an increase in Xing Zhe's affection level. Current affection level: 66 points."

Tang Qing's cosplay this time blew up so wildly that almost the entire internet was trying to identify who the coser of the Dream Illusion Princess was!

The first thing uncovered was the duet "Ridge Line" with Xing Zhe.

Her voice was pleasantly husky, with a slightly deeper tone, perfectly matching the Dream Illusion Princess's voice!

"It really is her! I knew the Dream Illusion Princess looked familiar—I’ve actually come across this video before."

"Wait, this video is from just last month. The goddess is so dedicated—you can really see she’s lost weight in the video."

"Shocking, isn’t this the band vocalist’s girlfriend? Aww, my goddess actually already has a boyfriend!"

...

Back when the "Ridge Line" video first came out, almost everyone online assumed Tang Qing was the vocalist Xing Zhe's girlfriend, something Xing Zhe made no effort to explain.

Unexpectedly, it all gained momentum at this moment!

The band’s account was flooded with countless private messages and @mentions, all filled with blessings and wishes for a long-lasting relationship!

Even the band’s manager, Wang Qun, called Xing Zhe on WeChat voice call, opening with, "Your girlfriend is getting a lot of buzz lately."

"That Dream Illusion Princess."

"Our album is just about ready. Should we ask your girlfriend to help... promote it?"

Following Xing Zhe’s usual habits, music had always been something entirely his own, purely the band’s—he rejected any marketing tie-ins.

But today was different.

Perhaps it was the faint regret about not being able to attend...

Or maybe it was that unprecedented heart racing from earlier...

Rarely, Xing Zhe relented. He said, "Okay."

"How do you plan to promote it?"
