You're My Only Star

Chapter 30 - General Huo

Song Xing Xing was able to get peace of mind when Bai Zhi did not appear in front of her or try to call her number. She can only hope that Bai Zhi had self-conscious after what she had tried to do and will never appear in front of her again.

This time Song Xing Xing took into consideration their years of friendship and decided to let Bai Zhi go after saying some words. In the future, if Bai Zhi tried to harm her again, Song Xing Xing decided that she cannot show her mercy.

That morning, Song Xing Xing woke up a little earlier and made herself some breakfast.

It was the day of the press conference for that game she has been playing. Since she had received an invitation from General Huo, Song Xing Xing decided to show up. Anyway, she could not let go of the rare materials that the company will give away.

Song Xing Xing ate her breakfast and decided to login into her game and deal with her daily quests. As soon as the welcome page appeared, the mail icon started to blink.

She clicked the icon to check her mail and saw that General Huo had sent her a message two hours ago and reminded her about the press conference. Seeing that the person was not online, Song Xing Xing decided to deal with her daily quests before she replied to the message. Then, she logged out and get ready.

There was still half an hour left before the press conference would start when she arrived at the venue.

Song Xing Xing stared at the large banner with the name of the game and felt a little excited.

She has been playing 'Legend of the Sky' from the very beginning. Hearing people talked about the game all around her made her feel good. It was expected that there will be more players once the company announced its spokesperson.

As the press conference hasn't begun, Song Xing Xing decided to walk around and visited the small booths outside.

There were a few official merchandises sold. After considering the money in her wallet, Song Xing Xing bought the figurine of her character.

A notification popped up on the screen, informing Song Xing Xing that there was a new unread message on the game. Song Xing Xing entered the game and saw that it was a message from General Huo, asking her to wait for him at the back door after the press conference ended.

Song Xing Xing replied to his message and continued to look around.

Soon, the management announced that the press conference was going to start. Song Xing Xing watched as the attendees sat down on the banquet chair and chose to stand up at the back to watch the show.

From her location, Song Xing Xing was able to hear the fans' discussion about the spokesperson. Everyone was eager to see the person and hearing their discussion made her look forward to seeing the person.

The opening music of the game filled the hall and everyone started to scream in excitement.

Soon, the MC showed up and introduced the game developer on stage. After a brief speech, the MC then turned to the audience with a teasing gaze on his face.

"Are you excited to know who is the spokesperson?" The MC started to hype up the mood and the audience screamed out in excitement.

Seeing that the audience could no longer contain their excitement, the MC and the developers called out the new spokesperson.

The lights were dimmed and a spotlight shone towards a spot on the stage. Soon, a man dressed in jeans, a black shirt, and a black coat appeared on the stage. The moment everyone saw his face, loud screams filled the room.

This was the person that the public has not seen in two years. However, it was recently announced that this actor and singer will make his come back.

Song Xing Xing stared at the celebrity, Huo Yun Chen, and thought about her friend, Liu Yu Sheng who happen to be a fan of him.

A while ago, Huo Yun Chen had released his new single and the song had topped the charts. In a few days, Huo Yun Chen will join the variety show under NEXT Bright Studio and Song Xing Xing will be one of the video editors.

The MC invited Huo Yun Chen to come closer and started to ask him questions about his recent comeback. Once the two had exchanged a few words, the MC quickly asked the questions that fans of the game have been waiting to hear.

"I heard that you have been playing this game for a few years," the MC began.

Huo Yun Chen flashed a lady-killer smile to the audience. "Mmm… as everyone might know, two years ago, I was involved in an accident. I was heartbroken for a long time when the doctor announced that there might be a chance that I may not dance on the stage again. I was upset and thought that I have lost my purpose."

The audience listened to his story and started to feel sorry for him.

"During my recuperation, my manager suggested that I could play a game to take my mind off some things," Huo Yun Chen continued. "Legend of the Sky is the game that I chose randomly. I did not expect that I would get addicted to this game."

Some of them began to laugh lightheartedly.

"The players who I met on the game and the guild members were very good to me. After talking to them and going on a quest with them to fight monsters slowly help me to build back my confidence."

The MC asked Huo Yun Chen a few more questions and soon, they reached the final session.

"Most of the players are curious to know which characters did you chose and what is your name character. Huo Yun Chen, are you going to tell everyone?"

Huo Yun Chen flashed a mysterious smile at the audience. Then, he spoke slowly. "Of course."

The crowd went wild again. Soon someone walked over with a phone and handed it to Huo Yun Chen. The man logged in to the game and the display screen at the back appeared.

Song Xing Xing stared at the man's ID name for a long time, but still, the screen continued to show her the same thing. It was surprising to see that the ID name that she knew very well. She would never expect that she would know the person who would accompany her in the game quests.

Huo Yun Chen is General Huo?
