Chapter 197 - 4.23

Tang Yizhou was a careful man, to say the least. 

The entire site was his, so he performed some tricks in order to not get inside the viewer list and be exposed to the streamer. His eyes were fixed onto Xu Jiaqi's figure.

It also had to be mentioned that he was another person who saved Xu Jiaqi's stream in hopes that she was truly a help to his condition, but just like Feng Qin, upon being indirectly called out by her, he stopped the recording and deleted all evidences.

However, he only left one piece of data left, and that was a still picture of her smiling brightly after winning a game with the others.

He felt a bit bad for his actions, but he couldn't help but keep it to himself, because it was too much of a shame to dispose of the picture. It was so beautiful, and although the full extent of her moving beauty was not captured, every picture Xu Jiaqi took still felt like a breath of life was poured into the media.

"Goddess.. No, Queen.." Repeating the streamer's title, Tang Yizhou rubbed the tip of his nose as he looked at the picture, his eyes bloodshot from the lack of sleep that he was served during these recent days. "I wonder if this is just a coincidence, if it's a way for the heavens to tell me that my suffering should end now, or.."

He didn't want to think about other factors, and chose to not say it after much consideration.

All that he knew was.. after looking at Xu Jiaqi and speaking with her, it was like his fatigue was lifted. Like there was a curse that bound him tightly this whole time, and coming across Xu Jiaqi cleared the curse up and recovered his vitality, albeit not completely.

He wondered, if even by watching through a stream and not directly talking to her face to face, the effect was this great.. What would it be like if he was to meet her in person?

..How can he grasp such an opportunity in the first place, when she was nothing but a streamer that only had three viewers, and could disappear any moment?

Did he need to interact with her further, make it so that she wouldn't leave the streaming industry? But from her speeches, it was clear that she wasn't here to seek out a chance in earning money in this big cesspool of people looking for entertainment, but rather sought this entertainment factor for herself. Wanting to make throwing money while streaming, and watching the viewers a method to entertain her.

A complete reverse from what it originally should be.

As the revered president of the tech empire Ecinos, he was suddenly struck with this big and pressing question that he didn't know the answer to.

He felt uncertain for the first time in a long run.

He could just simply maneuver his authority around. He could make it so that her information would be delivered to his doorstep in the blink of an eye. He could visit her tomorrow in her living space if he'd like to, he just needed to say the words and it would all happen.

But did he want to do that? Did he want to take away the streamer's privacy for his own benefits?

For once, Tang Yizhou, who was known to be ruthless and unfeeling towards all that he faced in life, actually wavered for this woman he had never met in real life. If a coworker of his learned that this happened, then they would definitely say that it's all a lie, and that it never happened.

Even though the matter concerned his  health and wellbeing, he couldn't bring himself to potentially offend the woman behind the channel.

It was too surreal, even for him.

Tang Yizhou's life.. A new chapter was about to begin, and none of them who were about to be involved knew how great the effect of this matter would eventually grow up to be.

With his long and slender fingers, he quietly typed on his keyboard. Creating a new account. He was asked to come up with a name that he would go under.

If she was the Queen.. Then, in order to get closer to her, shall he take on the title of 'King'?

Ding!

Viewer ID: The King Wants to Rest

Tang Yizhou wanted to rest for so long, but couldn't. It was a stressing matter that he wanted to peel himself off of by any means.. Well, except for forcing his hands on the streamer.

Will Xu Jiaqi's existence help him rest, help him come out of his ailment and recover to his prime state, retrieve back his former honor? Or will she.. end up being too powerful of a medicine, that he would not be able to separate with her any longer.

That he would end up needing to suffer because of his uncontrollable feelings at that point.

He just wished that he wouldn't confuse his feelings.

He wanted to try and approach her, though. Whether the result would be good or bad.. That was for a later time to discuss.

The next day, Xu Jiaqi continued her streaming streak. She opened up her devices and launched her broadcasting systems, making sure that everything was all perfect before setting a countdown and going online.

"Damn, I thought that I got used to wearing these clothes from my previous world, but that's not the case at all. It's so beautiful.. Yet, somehow, it doesn't contain the same.. feel as it did previously." Xu Jiaqi commented as she tightened the ties around her waist and tidied up the costume.

It was just too hard to replicate the exact feel of a dress, this being the modern era where people were no longer in direct touch with the abundant ancient culture. If she wanted quality, she had to specifically look for an artisan.

"Investments, investments." Xu Jiaqi sighed. She would think about it. It bothered her that everything was not perfect, that there was a blemish on her performance.

Her acting had to be flawless. Not a single mark could be in her play.
