《PUBG Online Romance of the Century》 Chapter 1 - Sign a contract and become an anchor! Chapter 1 - Sign a contract and be an anchor! Edited by Noks and Divetus The bright white light of aputer lit up the dim room a bit. Yu Yan poured himself a ss of water and returned to his screen. During this interval, he had received five messages on YY, all from a friend named ¡°Autumn Will No Longer Come¡±. ¡°Xiao Yan Ge, do you want to be an anchor?¡± ¡°I know an anchor, a great god on StarTV, whose name I can¡¯t disclose yet. He¡¯s recruiting new anchors for the tform.¡± ¡°The sry isn¡¯t bad; there¡¯s a base sry, and all the machines and equipment would be provided by him. All you have to do is relocate to them.¡± ¡°Xiao Yan Ge? Are you still ying?¡± ¡°Xiao Yan Ge?¡± He quickly set down his ss of water and replied, ¡°ying, what about you guys?¡± Yu Yan was a PUBG apanying yer. He usually did business on a voice tform called YY and got paid 60 yuan an hour. He¡¯d only been in this business for a month. Generally, other people could only get 15-30 yuan/hour in the first month, but he was different. This was only because he was strong and had previously been ranked first on the Asian servers. Among the numerous different teams and anchors ranked on the Asian servers, he stood out like a fresh stream of water. Also, he had a nice voice. This ¡°Autumn Will No Longer Come¡± was one of his regr customers. To rify, when he said ¡®regr customer¡¯, it really just meant that this yer had reserved him for the past few days. Autumn Will No Longer Come: ¡°ying, you can queue us.¡± Yu Yan shifted back to the game window, clicked on the ¡®ready¡¯ button, and after a few seconds, entered the game, starting the one minute countdown of the match. Autumn Will No Longer Come: ¡°Did you see what I just said?¡± Yan Xiaoyan: ¡°Saw it, still, I better not go, sorry about that ah.¡± There still wasn¡¯t a reply from the other side after a long time, and the match quickly started. PUBG was a shooting game that had be very popr recently and was also nicknamed ¡®¡¯Chicken Dinner¡±. The maximum number of yers in the match couldn¡¯t exceed 100. Once the match started, the yers would get put onto the same ne and then each had to choose the spot they would parachute to. There were guns, medicine, and other supplies scattered on the ground. All the yers would fight each other, and thest yer or team who survived was dered the winner. The game mechanic that brought all the scattered yers on the map together was called the Poison Circle. The circle would continue to shrink after set periods, and yers located outside the Poison Circle would begin to take damage. The farther away from this circle, the more damage you took. The location of the poison circle on the map was random each time, and thest circle was called the ¡°final circle¡± by the yers. ¡°Where are we jumping?¡± came a voice from the earphones. Although there was only one boss that hired him as an apanying yer, the boss would usually make the best of things and bring along two friends, so they could y in a regr 4-man team. ¡°Anywhere is fine ah. Your thigh is here, just jump.¡± ¡°The thigh can¡¯t carry all three of us ah, why don¡¯t we y the wilderness? What do you think, Xiao Yan Ge? ¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I¡¯m fine with anything, g it ba, and I¡¯ll jump with you guys.¡± Every city on the map was designed very particrly. There were several popr cities on the map, and yers who liked gunfights had the tendency of jumping to these spots, which made the gamey very exciting. ying the wilderness meant jumping to an empty area, striving to survive to the final circle and then try to catch the enemy off guard to happily eat up all the chicken. Yu Yan jumped and parachuted down with them,nded, and then opened three houses in a row. He couldn¡¯t find a single gun in any of them. Gunfire resounded outside. ¡°AHHH&#k2014;¡± the girl yer immediately screamed in YY, ¡°People here, people are here! I have people here!¡± Yu Yan¡¯s ears hurt from all the screaming. He opened the door to another house and finally found an AKM. He immediately picked up the gun and its ammunition and said, ¡°Did the person see you?¡± The girl was so nervous that she spoke in a breathy tone, ¡°Seems like they didn¡¯t. I hid behind a door. I haven¡¯t found a gun.¡± ¡°Okay, you hide well.¡± Yu Yan chuckled a bit, ¡°I¡¯lle save you.¡± ¡°Wait, there seems to be more than one person!¡± The girl was quiet for a while, probably because she heard some footsteps. ¡°There¡¯s three of them! It¡¯s over. What to do¡­¡± While passing by the neighboring house, Yu Yan specifically picked up two grenades. ¡°It¡¯s okay, don¡¯t move.¡± She whispered in agreement, obediently crouched down and dared not move a muscle. The enemy was downstairs, so Yu Yan jumped over from the neighboring room into the target house, thereby upying the high ground, and then crouched directly in the stairway to block the people. The people downstairs had heard his footsteps, and after they were sure that he was the only yer, they all rushed upstairs together. Yu Yan immediately threw out a grenade, then took out the gun, and tried to headshot the enemy! Countless shots rang out as the girl looked at the lower left corner of her screen nervously. The health bar of her teammate with the ID of yanxyan was decreasing and decreasing¡ª¡ª Until the health bar turned red. All of a sudden, everything went quiet. ¡°All right, they¡¯re all dead.¡± The boy¡¯s voice sounded out, carrying the impression of a smile, ¡°Come out and loot them.¡± The girl felt out of breath. It was over, only her heart had started fluttering. ¡°Xiao Yan Ge,¡± Another male voice sounded. It was Yu Yan¡¯s boss of the past few hours, ¡°Autumn Will Not Come¡±, who had spoken. He joked, ¡°How are you this awesome, my friend is about to promise you her heart.¡± The reason why he called him Xiao Yan Ge was because he didn¡¯t know how old Yu Yan was and didn¡¯t know what to call him, so he justbined the titles and called him that. The girl was a bit embarrassed. ¡°¡­ What are you saying.¡± Yu Yan looted some essories and medicine to put into his inventory. ¡°It¡¯s fine, if a heart is offered then I¡¯ll take it.¡± Autumn replied, ¡°Haha, such bullshit.¡± Any yer who wanted to enter the inner circle just after gathering up items would have to face a wave of ambushes. Out of Yu Yan¡¯s three teammates, two of them couldn¡¯t really y. Only Autumn was a bit of a better yer, so it basically boiled down to a two vs. four situation. In the end, he won the shootout, but his three teammates were all dead. Yu Yan carried the hope of the entire team on his shoulders and sessfully reached the final circle. Heid by the tree, and watched the number of survivors in the upper right corner of his screen grow smaller and smaller. Atst, it became three. The other two survivors were in the same team, so it was going to be a two against one fight. The other side behaved very arrogantly, relying on their superior numbers and crazily sprayed all around. Yu Yan never bore well with this kind of haughtiness. He straightened his back, and when one of the members of the other team was reloading bullets, he immediately got up and shot at him! At the same time, that person¡¯s teammate discovered his position, and countless bullets rained down at him! [You used an AKM to beat mxllwe] In that very second, he quickly turned his mouse to the right, and urately aimed at the position of the other person. He continued to press down on the mouse and skillfully shot the gun¡ª¡ª Two secondster, the screen paused. [Big Fortune and Great Delight, you¡¯re eating chicken tonight!] Yu Yan had been victorious in the battle of two against one. He had won the match with a tiny sliver of his health left. ¡°Awesome!¡± the girl cried out excitedly. Yu Yan was relieved. After he quit the game, his YY rang again, but this time it was a private chat. Autumn Will No Longer Come: ¡°Xiao Yan Ge, let me ask you something. Don¡¯t be angry ah.¡± Yu Yan typed out the word okay in reply. Autumn Will No Longer Come: ¡°¡­ Are you using some kind of cheat software to y?¡± This kind of thought was actually prettymon if someone yed so well and wasn¡¯t affiliated with any team or livestream channel. Yu Yan had lost count of the number of times he had been asked this question. Seeing that he didn¡¯t reply, the other side quickly sent another message. Autumn Will No Longer Come: ¡°I don¡¯t mean anything else by it ah. I just wanted to tell you that you can still use the software while livestreaming, but just¡­ you can¡¯t be too obvious about it, you understand? Nowadays, a lot of anchors use stuff like that, it¡¯s very normal.¡± Yan Xiaoyan: ¡°No, I¡¯m genuinely very strong.¡± Autumn Will No Longer Come: ¡°¡­¡± Someone knocked on Yu Yan¡¯s door. His food delivery order had arrived. He received the delivery, told the other party that he wasn¡¯t going to y anymore, and turned off the game to focus on eating his meal. ¡ª Getting up the next day, Yu Yan was just getting ready to login to YY to do business when an email popped up in the lower right corner of his screen. [StarTV: The application of this anchor is approved. Please confirm your personal details and contact information¡­ ] He had just taken a bite of his youtiao, but when he saw the name of the sender of the email, he became so excited that he stopped chewing. He had refused Autumn¡¯s invitation yesterday, not because he didn¡¯t want to take part, but because he had other ns¡ªhe had previously applied for a local StarTV anchor sponsorship. As the name implied, a sponsored anchor would sign an internal contract with StarTV. The content of this contract was more rigid than that of an ordinary anchor, and there was basically no possibility of job hopping in the next three years. Simrly, StarTV would also help provide preferential support by rmending the sponsored anchors. Although the conditions and penalties of such a contract were a bit much, their tform was still better than the livestream tforms used by other anchors. Yu Yan yed the game well and naturally knew some experts. Some of them had been thrown into a pit by some famous hosts and thus couldn¡¯t earn a penny from these livestreams even after several months. After adding the StarTV contact person as a friend, the first sentence from the other party was: ¡°Do you use cheat software to y?¡± ¡­ Why was he always running into this question recently? ¡°Not using any.¡± ¡°Your game ID was sent to me, but where do you live? Do you have the equipment to keep up with the demands of a livestream? Ourpany is headquartered in Jincheng. If it¡¯s convenient,e here directly for an interview and to sign a contract.¡± Jincheng¡­ that was a bit far away. ¡°¡­ It¡¯s a little far away. I can¡¯t sign withouting to Jincheng?¡± ¡°No, we also have an electronic contract, but it¡¯s a bit more cumbersome to send it back and forth. You can fill in your relevant information and send it over ba.¡± The signing process was reallyplicated. When he received the electronic contract, he took the contract and went to see hiswyer uncle, who was his real uncle. ¡°Yu Yan, you¡¯re¡­¡± Yu Minyang looked at the contract and frowned. ¡°You¡¯re already 19 years old this year, and you¡¯re still addicted to this game?¡± ¡°Uncle, I¡¯ll start livestreaming. It¡¯s a job,¡± Yu Yan replied. ¡°I don¡¯t approve of this!¡± Yu Minyang threw the contract onto the table. ¡°Your parents passed away early on, and I didn¡¯t have any resources before, so I couldn¡¯t support your schooling, and I really regret that. Now, your uncle has a few resources, but when I offered to let you go to school again, you didn¡¯t want to. I also offered you an internship at thepany, but you didn¡¯t want that either, and now you want to be some kind of game anchor? No way!¡± ¡°Uncle¡­ Forget it, I¡¯m disturbing you. Don¡¯t be angry.¡± Yu Yan picked up the contract and got ready to leave. He knew that Yu Minyang was trying to do his best for him, but armed with only his junior high school education, he didn¡¯t have the cheek to do an internship in Yu Minyang¡¯spany, let alone allow the other party to provide for his further education. ¡°Wait!¡± Yu Minyang hurried to stop him. After a long moment, Yu Minyang sighed heavily, ¡°Hand it over for me to look at!¡± After all the due processes werepleted, Yu Yan smoothly became a game anchor. He didn¡¯t waste any time. The very next day, he filled in his livestream information. After it was created, he took his cellphone and carefully copied down his livestream room number. Atst, he started his livestream and the game all in one go. He was a little nervous. But this tension onlysted for less than two minutes. Not because of any other factors, but because after two minutes had passed¡­ His stream had no viewers. This was also normal. To be on the safe side, StarTV only rmended anchors after they¡¯ve met the required stable livestream schedule for a month. Without any rmendations, there would be almost no exposure. Only those who were close to him would see this studio. He sighed and was about to enter the game match-making queue when a line of ck characters suddenly appeared in the chat bar on the right of the screen. [1 has entered the livestream] Yu Yan felt that he had never been so nervous even when he yed in the final rounds of the game by himself. He licked his lips and pretended to be calm. ¡°Wee to my livestream, 1.¡± On the other side, the man¡¯s hand hovering over the red X button suddenly froze at the sound. This anchor¡¯s voice was clean and clear, with a youthful air. Just by listening, you could tell he wasn¡¯t very old. He seemed to be a little nervous since he was stuttering a bit as he spoke. While Yi Chen was hesitating, the other party had entered his match and had already killed an enemy. He gently lifted his eyebrows and looked at the cold and quiet livestream. For some reason, in the end, he didn¡¯t exit the room. StarTV¡¯s client screen hung on hisputer, as he picked up a file lying on his desk and looked at it. The author has something to say: This is a product of ying games and ying with itchy hands. It¡¯s future is indeterminate. ¡ª Juurensha: Hi guys, new novel, featuring GHFOD¡¯s Huanhuan¡¯s friend, Yanyan! Mass release of 3 chapters to start, and afterward we¡¯ll update twice a week (Tuesday and Thursday) until GHFOD wraps up. Already I want to scoop up yanyan and hug him. Divi: This baby yanyan, so precious! I¡¯m looking forward to this novel, I can rte to the gamey a lot so you¡¯ll get lots of tactic and game descriptions from me hehe. Wee to our new editor, Noks! Helping my poor soul out. Noks: Hello everyone! I¡¯m aplete noob to gaming, but love reading gaming novels, especially the danmei ones, so I jumped in. I¡¯vee to adore yanyan, he¡¯s stoic, but no less adorable (and mischievous) than Huanhuan it seems. I¡¯ll work hard, Juu and Divi! Chapter 2 - Oh, men. Chapter 2 - Oh, men. Edited by Noks and Divetus Yu Yan was one of only five anchors who had been recruited by StarTV¡¯s anchor sponsorship program. Although there were only five people, all of them were very strong. Basically, all of the top yers in the Asian server, besides the existing anchors and professional yers, had all been recruited by StarTV. After all, StarTV was the best live streaming tform for development at the moment. It had arge audience, good traffic, and most of the great gaming gods. The tform was very generous towards those who became a part of this sponsorship. The contract stated that there was a very high base sry after they obtained tenure, and it was hard for a person not to be excited by such an offer. The only disadvantage of this sponsorship was that the position on the rmendation list of the tform wouldn¡¯t be the same for all five of the recruited yers. StarTV had limited rmendation list space, and normally, it wasn¡¯t even enough for the other popr tenured anchors. Hence the stiption¡ªan observation period of one month for the five new anchors. After one month, the most popr anchor would get the best spot on the rmendation list, and so on. The lower their poprity, the worse the spot on the rmendation list they would get. It sounded cruel, but it was also a normal system. Thew of the jungle: only the strong would survive. No one who had agreed to participate in the program had any problems with it. Yu Yan naturally had no objections. In the first match of his solos, he took second ce. He took a deep breath and then quickly opened up his livestream to take a look. Looking at his viewer count, he felt as if he was opening up a gift. 11 people. ¡­ It was like opening up a much anticipated gift to find just a snowglobe, which when shaken a few times, would have a few fake looking snowkes show up. But fortunately, he was always optimistic. Checking the time, he realized he still had 20 minutes to go before his livestream would hit its first hour. When he had joined, he had asked a lot of questions about StarTV¡¯s rules. When a livestream first started, it wouldn¡¯t appear on the test livestreams¡± list immediately, but would briefly appear on the list only after the livestream had streamed for an hour. As for how long it would stay on the list, that was uncertain. If it was the peak time for streaming, it would be pushed down by other streams very quickly. Yu Yan had to cherish this short period of time. He moved his mouse to the bottom left corner of the game screen and set the game mode to squads. ¡°ying a game of four, saving the lives of somemon people,¡± he said with a smile. Even if no one acknowledged him in the stream¡¯s barrage, he didn¡¯t care. After getting matched, in less than ten seconds, he entered Manners za, and the 60 second countdown began. With a slight cough, he opened his mic and asked, ¡°Bros, are you there?¡± In PUBG¡¯s duos or squad mode, you had to depend on your teammates. No matter how strong you were individually, it was very difficult to y one against four here. Moreover, you couldn¡¯t type messages in-game, somunication between teammates depended solely on voice. Some people would even immediately quit the game if they found out their teammates couldn¡¯t speak. No. 2 responded, ¡°Here ah.¡± No. 3 asked, ¡°Where do we jump to? y passively or directly attack?¡± No. 2 replied, ¡°Of course it¡¯s directly attack ah, directly drop to the Military Base, I¡¯ll drop to the C area.¡± ¡°Wait.¡± Yu Yan was No. 1, and he quickly interrupted, ¡°Bros, why don¡¯t we drop to North Georgopol and be passive for a bit?¡± No. 2 spoke with some kind of an ent, ¡°Why passive? Aren¡¯t you a man ah?¡± ¡°I¡¯m a man ah, but men have to be flexible, Ge,¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°If we¡¯re a bit more staid in this game, I promise to carry you all to eat chicken.¡± ¡°Ha ha, I can also say something like that ah. What if we end up not eating it?¡± ¡°If we don¡¯t eat¡­¡± Yu Yan lowered his voice a little, copied No. 2¡¯s ent, and pretended to be bashful as he said, ¡°You can do whatever you want, Ge.¡± No. 2 was shocked. ¡°Holy shit, holy shit, bro, you can jump wherever you want to jump to, don¡¯t be gay at me! Get away, get away!¡± [Hahahahahahaha amazing!] Upon harvesting his first line in the barrage, Yu Yanpletely cheered up, and happily marked anding point in North Georgopol. After jumping off, he observed the situation. ¡°One team on the left and two teams on the right. The two teams on the right have jumped very close to us. We¡¯ll probably have to fight them, so you guys should be careful whennding,¡± said Yu Yan as he maneuvered towards the right mid-air with his parachute. No. 3 asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say to be careful when jumping down? Why did you jump to the right by yourself?¡± Although he wanted to enter the final circle, he also had to take into ount the 11 spectators who were viewing his gamey. This game was a shooting game, not an item-collection game. ¡°It¡¯s okay, I won¡¯t fight them,¡± Yu Yan answered. ¡°I¡¯ll see if I can pick out any weaknesses.¡± No. 2 asked again, ¡°How can you pick out a weakness?¡± Yu Yan smiled and didn¡¯t speak. He jumped to the top of one of the tall buildings. Fortunately, there was actually an M416 up there. He quickly picked it up and loaded it, then¡­ crouched down at the corner of the roof. [What is the anchor doing, pick up the first aid kit next to you ah! ] Yu Yan didn¡¯t respond and continued to just crouch there. Immediately, there was a burst of gunfire around him¡ª the two teams that had jumped to the right had begun fighting. Soon, the counter on the upper right hand corner of the screen began to drop as the sound of guns reverberated and the kill count increased. Although it couldn¡¯t be confirmed that it was due to the yers of the two teams downstairs, the sound of gunfire could be used as a reference to figure out the kind of guns they were carrying, which whenpared to the kill count, could also count as gathering information. Finally, the sound of gunfire stopped, and after calcting for a bit in his head, he said, ¡°It¡¯s over, there are only two people left.¡± [Four people ah, their teammates will definitelye and help pull them up again.] It was the same person who had been typing all this time. Yu Yan grit out a sentence, ¡°Of the people that jumped down, six were involved in the battle¡­ At most, only three are left.¡± Having said that, he continued to crouch in the corner. A rush of footsteps continued to sound into his ear, footsteps that came closer and closer. Finally, an avatar dressed in a small skirt appeared in his view. There was still a lot of equipment lying around on the roof. At a nce, you could tell it hadn¡¯t been searched. The other party bent down to pick up the first aid kid around the corner without any doubts. BAMBAMBAMBAM! Yu Yan didn¡¯t hesitate at all, agilely shooting until the person hit the ground. Every single bullet had hit its mark, and not a single one was wasted. In duos and squads, if a teammate was still alive, then the downed person wouldn¡¯t die immediately after being knocked down, but they couldn¡¯t do anything except crawl. As long as you weren¡¯t killed again, and your teammates arrived in time, then they could revive you. This person obviously had teammates. She knelt on the ground and didn¡¯t move for a long time, seemingly still not having reacted to the ambush. ¡°This is called baiting,¡± Yu Yan chuckled. With that, he raised his gun again to get rid of the person. ¡°Little Gege, little Gege!¡± A sweet female voice, in a pitiful tone, suddenly sounded, ¡°Little Gege, let me go¡­¡± In the game, you could choose to speak either with only your team or have wide openmunication. When using wide open mode, enemy yers around them could also hear. [Holy shit little Jiejie!] [Anchor let her go!!] Yu Yan held his gun up, walked up to her, and crouched down next to her slowly¡­ And then he swung his fists until he had pummeled her to death. [¡­¡­£¿£¿] ¡°Bullets are a very valuablemodity at the beginning of the game. When you firstnd and start attacking, everyone should remember that just knocking your opponent into the ground is fine. Don¡¯t rush to kill them, you can still use them as bait to draw out their teammates.¡± Yu Yan changed the topic of conversation and actually started to teach. Then, he selected the wide open option for his in-game mic. ¡°Little Jiejie, you¡¯re not in good ah. It¡¯s been so long and your teammates haven¡¯t evene to save you! It¡¯s really too much! I¡¯ll go take care of them for you now!¡± Little Jiejie: ¡°??¡± So, she just watched as this person ran downstairs happily, and killed her teammates with ease. No. 2 praised, ¡°Bro, you¡¯re really something!¡± ¡°That¡¯s not true.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s copied ent wasn¡¯t just simr to his, but also sounded very interesting. He opened up the map. ¡°Have you searched everywhere and found everything? It¡¯s time to go.¡± This match had the circle form at the Military Base, and it was across the map from them. No. 3 replied, ¡°OK, let¡¯s distribute everything between ourselves ba. I have a lot of parts here.¡± The three people gathered, and all the items were divided up, but No. 4 still hadn¡¯t arrived at the gathering spot. No. 2 yelled, ¡°No. 4, what are you doing? We¡¯re leaving!¡± Half a minuteter, No. 4 stumbled over with his gun. He turned out to be a rookie yer. Yu Yan looked at the two guns the other party was holding. Neither was a good gun; it seemed that he still couldn¡¯t distinguish which ones were good and which ones were bad. No. 2 reprimanded, ¡°What kind of broken guns are you carrying ah, after searching for so long, you found just these two things?¡± No. 4 kept silent. ¡°Let¡¯s go ba.¡± Yu Yan got into a car and said, ¡°We¡¯re going to have to race against the poison circle.¡± He drove the car all the way to the inner circle. He didn¡¯t take the main roads and didn¡¯t see anyone en route. He stopped the car at a bridge. No. 3 asked, ¡°Why did you stop, the next circle is at the Military Base, and we¡¯re not there yet! Drive straight towards thest circle!¡± ¡°No hurry.¡± Yu Yan got out of the car, took out his gun, and suddenly asked, ¡°Don¡¯t you see the words carved into this bridge?¡± No. 3 asked, ¡°¡­. What words?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a car. There was a car iing that wanted to cross the bridge. They quickly hid behind the crates located beside the small bridge, and three of them shot at the unprepared yers in the car at the same time. However, due to the fast speed of the car, the other two people weren¡¯t prepared and thus, didn¡¯t even manage to graze the car with their shots. Yu Yan calmly looked down his sight and took aim, he moved his mouse to follow the car as he continuously shot at it. His earphones were full of the sounds of impact after the bullets hit the car. In just a few seconds, from his perspective, he could see green blood continuously flowing from the left side of the car¡ª¡ª [You killed LVCHAGUNA with an M416] Yu Yan chuckled, reloaded agilely, and spat out two words, ¡°Mengpo Bridge.¡± ¡¾6666666¡¿ [Anchor is awesome, hahahahahaha] [The takedown of the car is pretty good, why are there so few viewers in this stream?] [Looks like a new anchor] The speed of the barrage suddenly grew faster for the naked eye. Yu Yan immediately realized that he was on the test livestream¡± list. No. 2 said, ¡°Awesome bro, what happened, you¡¯re so powerful ah! Bro, could you be an immortal?¡± The people who used cheating software to y the game were usually called ¡°immortals¡±. ¡°How could that be?¡± Yu Yan replied. ¡°I¡¯m an honest man, Ge.¡± ¡°No.¡± No. 2 said, ¡°If you bring me to eat chicken, I¡¯ll call you Ge.¡± Before the start of the livestream, Yu Yan had yed solos for an hour and confirmed that he had warmed up before he had officiallyunched the stream. Upon seeing so many people in the audience, he became more focused, and fought back very urately and powerfully. Bringing his three teammates along, he fought all the way to reach the final circle. There were eight people left in the finals. Yu Yan considered things for a bit. Including them, there were three teams present in total, and the other two teams had two people each. Their team still had all their members, and they had a high win rate. He could definitely eat this chicken! With victory in mind, his 8x scope just happened to catch sight of a level two helmet. Bang! [yanxyan knocked down 77flzz with an M24 headshot] On the other hand, No. 3 had also found that man¡¯s teammate. He had shot at him, and after hanging onto a sliver of health, managed to kill him. There was only one enemy team left. Everyone felt very nervous, even No. 2 didn¡¯t speak. Yu Yan was the only one who was very rxed. The circle shrank further and further, and thest two people exposed their position as they ran into the circle. ¡°I see that both of them are behind the stone in the NE direction.¡± Yu Yan opened his inventory, saw his empty bag, and asked, ¡°Does anyone have a grenade? If we don¡¯t, then all four of us can just directly attack them.¡± No. 2 replied, ¡°I don¡¯t!¡± ¡°Neither do I.¡± No. 3 said, ¡°Just attack directly ba.¡± Yu Yan responded, ¡°Okay¡­¡± Click. A slight noise reached his ears. He frowned slightly and thought he had heard it wrong. He asked the stream viewers, ¡°Did you guys hear anything?¡± [No, what sound?] [I think I heard it too?] [Is it the sound of a grenade ah?] Yu Yan had wanted to add something when suddenly, a loud noise resounded in his ear. Bang¡ª¡ª He stared as his in-game avatar exploded and was killed by a grenade. He just died kneeling on the ground. Just then, that had actually been the sound of No. 4 pulling out the pin from the grenade! ¡°No. 4, what did you do?!¡± He asked,pletely befuddled. No. 4, who had also been exploded and killed. ¡°¡­ Didn¡¯t you want me to use the grenade?¡± His voice was very childish. So, he was just a kid; he sounded like he couldn¡¯t be older than 15. ¡°¡­ Then you still need to throw it over there ah! ¡± ¡°How can I throw it without pulling the pin?¡± The kid felt very aggrieved; he had specifically Baidu-ed how to pull the pin! Yu Yan: ¡°¡­.¡± When the people on the opposite side heard all this, they immediately wanted to take advantage of the chaos. No. 2 and No. 3 aimed carefully, and with some burst fire, sessfully killed the other two yers. Yu Yan hadn¡¯t even finished his words when the game interface suddenly darkened. At the top left of the screen was a line of words: ¡°Big Fortune and Great Delight, you¡¯re eating chicken tonight!!¡± [Paying attention to the tragic anchor.] [Congrattions on the sess of ¡°kneeling to eat chicken¡±!] [Is this No. 4ing in to clown around hahahaha.] [The anchor has a good temper, he didn¡¯t even curse him out.] Yu Yan returned to his senses, after which he returned to the game¡¯s main screen. Forget it, even with this No. 4, the livestream went very well, and he didn¡¯t really like to curse his teammates anyway. He was just about to start the next match, when a friend request popped up on the game interface at the bottom right, and it was from the No. 2 of the previous game. Just when the viewers thought he would ept it, he moved his mouse and clicked x directly. ¡°Yelled in the beginning to run away and now after eating the chicken, wants me toe back.¡± Yu Yan sneered, ¡°Oh, men.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: I will admit, I thought No. 4 was Boss Yi for a little bit. Divi: I feel for you Yanyan, I really do. I have no trust for my teammates after these experiences. Chapter 3 - Chen Ran is suChapter a slag man Chapter 3 - Chen Ran is suChapter a g man Edited by Noks and Divetus After refusing the friend request, Yu Yan looked at the viewer count again, and immediately got a scare. In the span of just one game and an unknown amount of time being listed on the test broadcasts¡±, the viewer count had actually increased to 628. Although most anchors on livestreaming tforms hired water fans to boost their poprity to some extent, his base viewer count was already very small, so water fans wouldn¡¯t make much of a difference. StarTV was worthy of its name of having the highest viewer traffic for livestreaming. Yu Yan was very satisfied. Just as he was about to strike while the iron was hot and start the next match, a soft ¡°ding dong¡± sounded in his earphones. The notification was sent by the administrator in charge of the PUBG livestreaming section at StarTV. He adjusted the livestream window, and opened the chat box in a separate window so that the viewers wouldn¡¯t see it. Administrator 03: Hello, I¡¯m Administrator 03. I¡¯m the current administrator of your livestream. Yan Xiaoyan: Hello, what can I do for you? Worried about losing his viewers, he quickly messaged back and immediately rejoined the match queue. Administrator 03 sent several documents at once. [100 Key Points for Livestream Anchors] [100 Forbidden Sentences for Livestream Anchors] [100 Prohibited Acts for Livestream Anchors] ¡°¡­¡± Suspicions of whether he had joined some kind of secret society arose in his mind. By the time he entered Manners za, he had received all the documents and nned to slowly read through them after finishing his livestream. Administrator 03: You¡¯re not turning on your webcam? Having a webcam will make the stream quality a bit better.. Yan Xiaoyan: I¡¯m too ugly, better to not turn it on ba. After that, his newly matched teammate in the game spoke up. No. 2 asked, ¡°Do we have any little Jiejie¡¯s ah? If not, I¡¯m leaving.¡± Yu Yan closed the chat with the Administrator and pitched his voice high. ¡°Have them, have them~ Little Gege, don¡¯t leave.¡± [£¿£¿£¿] [£¿£¿What¡¯s that, the anchor has such a skill??] ¡¾66666¡¿ [Was a voice changer turned on ah?] His voice was originally a little soft, so by deliberately pitching it higher, he could make it sound a little bit like a girl¡¯s voice, which could, by a margin, be regarded as a delicate Meimei¡¯s voice. ¡°Fuck me.¡± No. 2 was excited. ¡°Where do you want to jump, sis? Add me as a friend after this game bei, I¡¯m very good.¡± Yu Yan crossed his legs, and smiled so widely that his small tiger tooth was revealed and shone brightly as he replied, ¡°Okay ya, little Gege, I can jump anywhere.¡± No. 2 responded, ¡°Okay, then jump into my heart!¡± ¡°¡­¡± This coarse pick-up line was so unexpected that Yu Yan was left dumbstruck for a full five seconds. The rest of the team didn¡¯t talk, but they all jumped to Pochinki with No. 2. The route they had decided to take was to the side of Pochinki, which was destined to be the most exciting ce in the game. Just after the ne arrived over Pochinki, dozens of people jumped from the ne, dropping just like dumplings. ¡°Little Jiejie!¡± No. 2 had already changed the name by which he was going to address him. Yu Yan didn¡¯t manage to react to him at first. He had been using a slightlynguid voice to speak to his viewers. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m a new anchor, just started today¡­ What am I good at? I¡¯m very strong at everything. If I have to pick something, I¡¯m an expert at head-on gunfights, so people who like to watch fights can click on my avatar to follow me.¡± [Anchor, No. 2 is calling you! ] [No. 2 has been calling you for a long time.] No. 2 asked, ¡°Little Jiejie, are you there? Are you going to jump ah? Why aren¡¯t you paying any attention to me?¡± Yu Yan smoothly switched over, ¡°Ah&#k2026; here, little Gege, and I willlll!¡± Another burst of 6666 appeared in the barrage. No. 2 said, ¡°Okay, if you¡¯re afraid, follow behind me, I will protect you&#k2026;¡± BAM BAM BAM&#k2014;&#k2014; Before No. 2 could finish speaking, three notifications had appeared in the upper right hand corner of the screen. yanxyan killed HUmanxian yanxyan killed woshinidiedi yanxyan killed secretCT Yu Yan had picked up an S1897 from the ground. It was moremonly known as The Sprayer, the king of close rangebat in the game. As long as the distance was close enough, one shot could bring down a person. Yu Yan had fired three shots with the S1897 and knocked down three people. ¡°Little Gege, little Gege, I¡¯m so afraid!¡± He said, killing three people while still using a falsetto voice. No. 2: ¡°¡­¡± No. 2 said, ¡°I think you¡¯re very good ah¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s just luck. They all pointed their guns at me randomly, I was almost scared to death .¡± No. 2 was inspired again and eximed, ¡°It¡¯s OK, little Jiejie, youe find me!¡± On the other end, Yi Chen hade out of the bath and was using a bath towel to dry his hair. He had slung a loose towel around his waist, leaving his upper body bare, and his strong manly abdominal muscles were exposed to the air. He picked up his cell phone, found his assistant¡¯s WeChat, and pressed the voice key. ¡°The livestream webpages are tooplicated, and theyout of the homepage isn¡¯t good as well, so you¡¯ll have to submit a revised n to me¡­¡± ¡°Little Gege, little Gege, there are people here¡­ Little Gege, why are you dead again?¡± The girl¡¯s delicate and soft voice suddenly sounded, making Yi Chen¡¯s hand twitch, and an unfinished voice message was sent. Tch. He squinted and went to theputer. He thought he remembered opening up a male anchor¡¯s livestream¡­ The screen had grown several timesrgerpared to thest time he hadst seen it. [Can the anchor speak properly hahahahaha] [Big fake cute Meimei, killing people online] [This No. 2 has been knocked down three times now, and has even stopped talking hahahahaha] No. 2¡¯s voice was harsh. ¡°¡­ I changed my mouse today, not really used to it yet.¡± Yu Yan said understandingly, ¡°I understand, little Gege. I¡¯ll give you two more first aid kits oh.¡± In the game, the avatar of a bald ck-skinned woman had just revived the person who had fallen to the ground and had thrown him two first aid kits. The white-skinned man who had been revived stood up again, but he just stood there like a statue, not moving at all. Gunfire sounded outside, so Yu Yan reloaded the bullets as he called, ¡°Little Gege¡­¡± Before he finished speaking, the white-skinned man finally reacted¡ªhe suddenly hoisted the shotgun he had hanging on his body and shot Yu Yan! This game had friendly fire. Even if they were teammates, they¡¯ll still do 100% damage to your health. Yu Yan was knocked down instantly. [£¿£¿£¿£¿] [Did this Laoge suddenly go crazy???] [Did he think it¡¯s shameful, so he decided to kill and silence him??] Yu Yan was also stunned. Just as he was about to speak, No. 2 suddenly spoke on the in-game mic. Though this time, a woman¡¯s voice resounded from it. ¡°Fucking whore! You little bitch, you¡¯re the one who normally keeps seducing my boyfriend, right?¡± She continued to yell in an overbearing manner, ¡°Who do you keep calling little Gege? Ah?! It was you who tried to hook up with him before ba?! I didn¡¯t catch you when I went out of townst time, but if you can, try it again! If I don¡¯t shave off all your hair and throw you into a nunnery, I¡¯ll change my damnst name to yours!¡± No. 2¡¯s voice could be heard faintly in the background as well as he stammered, ¡°Hey¡­ No baby, you misunderstood¡­ Let me finish the game first¡­¡± ¡°What? You still want to y with this little slut? Chen Ran, see if I don¡¯t beat you to death¡­ ¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan started, ¡°¡­That¡­ ¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± In the game, the white-skinned man crouched down, pulled his gun away, and then used his fist to punch Yu Yan into the ground, yelling with each punch, ¡°You think I¡¯d let you seduce my boyfriend! Let¡¯s see you off! I¡¯ll make you regret not having any sense of shame!¡± Seeing his health bar getting lower and lower, Yu Yan hurriedly stopped her by yelling, ¡°Little Jiejie! Little Jiejie, stop fighting! Misunderstanding! It¡¯s all a misunderstanding!¡± ¡°How is it a misunderstanding¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Wait a minute, why is it a guy¡¯s voice?¡± The woman paused before she asked, ¡°What about the little slut?¡± ¡°The little slut is me!¡± Reflecting upon what he had just said, Yu Yan felt that he was wrong and hurriedly confessed, ¡°Hey, no, little Jiejie, I¡¯m a man!¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°Really!¡± Yu Yan was frantic, so he pitched his voice high and said, ¡°Look, I¡¯m not lying to you, little Jiejie, please pull me up first, and then if we need to talk, we can talk properly¡­¡± The voice channel experiencedplete silence for ten seconds. No. 3 and No. 4, who hadn¡¯t spoken the entire time. ¡°¡­ WTF.¡± ¡°That, that, misunderstood ah,¡± After a while, the woman¡¯s voice resounded with heaviness in her tone, and she crouched down to revive him. The barrage was already about to explode from all theughter. [HAHAHAHA angry Laojie,ing online to hack at people!] [I¡¯m about to die from damnughter¡­ Hahahaha an unexpected cmity.] [Chen Ran, now more than a thousand people know that you have cheated!!] After Yu Yan got up, the woman tossed him the first-aid kit she had picked up before. ¡°¡­ Giving this back to you ba.¡± No. 2¡¯s voice still sounded out from behind her as he shouted, ¡°Fucking damnit! Why are you pulling him up! I¡¯m going to blow up this damn idiot!¡± ¡°You¡¯re the idiot! Scram, Laoniang will check your friend listter! Scram, scram, scram!¡± After cursing him out, the woman came back to the game and drank an energy drink to refuel herself. ¡°No. 1, you¡¯re a big man, what are you pretending to be a girl for ah? Catfishing?¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°Chen Ran had said that if there were no girls in the team, he would quit the game. Little Jiejie, he¡¯s the one forcing innocent girls to prostitute themselves!¡± No. 2 exploded, ¡°Holy shit! You damn pervert!¡± From the papa sounds in her background, it seemed that the little Jiejie on the other side had already made a move. ¡°You still have the nerve to talk?! Completely shameless! I¡¯m going to break up with you after ying this damn game!¡± Yu Yan listened and directlyughed. Hisughter wasn¡¯t light or heavy but he never stopped moving his hands. The little Jiejie cursed and cursed at her boyfriend, and couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°No. 1, your technique is very good. Without this son of a bitch, you probably have a higher chance of winning.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Yeah, to be honest, I regretted itter. Why did I have to keep him; I revived him three or four times and used several first aid kits for nothing.¡± No. 2 shouted, ¡°*&¡­ ¡­%£¤#@!¡± ¡°Shut up and get the fuck out of here!¡± After she finished cursing him out, the little Jiejie continued, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, family matters are ugly.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay. It¡¯s understandable.¡± After their team entered the third circle, No. 2 ended up dying under an enemy¡¯s gunshots. ¡°Ah, two people surrounded me, and one was on the roof. I couldn¡¯t help it.¡± Little Jiejie sighed, ¡°You continue to y slowly, and I¡¯ll go clean up that g man first.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will let your boyfriend experience a chicken dinner once in all its splendor and glory before he dies.¡± While talking, Yu Yan had already headshotted the sniper who had set up his gun on the roof. Little Jiejie was shocked, and she didn¡¯t hurry to leave the game. She directly clicked the ¡®spectate¡¯ button to continue watching the battle. 15 minutester, Yu Yan did what he said he would and killed his way into the final circle with his two teammates. Winning two games in a row was an absolutely great way to attract the viewers¡¯ attention. He thought that it was a great chance, and feeling a little nervous, carefully searched for the remaining two enemy yers. It had been a long time since any shooting hadmenced, so those two should be a team. Finally, a ck object appeared in the grass not far from him and directly in front of him. Yu Yan looked closely at it and yelled, ¡°NE direction, Voldemort!¡± In the final circle, people whoid on the ground to hide among the grass had been nicknamed Voldemort by the yers. His two teammates immediately understood the message, and the three of them got up almost at the same time and fired in that direction! In the moment when Yu Yan killed the Voldemort, a gunshot hit against the side of his body¡ªthe three of them couldn¡¯t even react to this, and within a few seconds, all of their screens turned gray at the same time¡ª¡ª At the end of this game, Yu Yan had won second ce. The yer who had finally killed all three of them had done so with an M416. [¡­¡­£¿£¿Holy shit] [Was that a damn immortal? The three of them were situated so far away, all killed by headshots, how could that be?!] [Wait, this ID¡­] The yer ID that had killed them was XKTVXKTV, StarTV, seemed like this person was also an anchor on the same livestreaming tform. [This was definitely someone who was running cheating software!] [Whenever the anchor loses, he just justifies it by saying that others were running cheating software? He can¡¯t lose?] [Upstairs ba, are you sick? What did the anchor say? ] [Someone who can¡¯t see through it is just a casual yer ba, did you even buy this game?] Yu Yan nced at the ongoing barrage and smiled carelessly. ¡°Please stop quarreling, everyone. Actually, I will just let it go¡­ After all, Chen Ran is such a g man. He only deserves to eat chicken butts.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Well, can see why Boss Yi stuck around to watch, it was pretty funny. Noks: Ahhh¡­ this chapter took a long time to edit, I couldn¡¯t stopughing all through it. Divi: LMAO 10/10 livestream drama. Yanyan got careless, you got baited. Chapter 4 - Because… too noob ah. Chapter 4 - Because¡­ too noob ah. Edited by Divetus and Noks His words didn¡¯t help, and the barrage still continued to be hot and noisy. The cellphone next to his hand lit up, and a WeChat notification for a message popped up. Lu Xiuhe: Damnit, bro, that XKToshu is definitely using an aimbot! Lu Xiuhe was one of Yu Yan¡¯s rare real-life friends. As a true inte-addicted youngster, Yu Yan had way more online friends than real-life friends. He could talk more freely across theputer screen, but in private contact with people, he always seemed a little introverted. Added onto the fact that he had dropped out of school early, he had even less chances ofing into contact with people in real life. Lu Xiuhe he met because he used to work in an Inte cafe, and Lu Xiuhe was the cafe owner¡¯s son. At that time, PUBG hadn¡¯t been released, so they yed another shooting game together. Lu Xiuhe saw that he was very skillful, so, he pestered him continuously to queue and climb up the ranks together. As they kept ying, the two of them became good friends. Sometimes, he queued with Lu Xiuhe to y, so he didn¡¯t hide anything about his livestream business from him. He let go of his mouse and sighed, ¡°Just a moment, everyone. I¡¯ll take a break for two minutes, and then I¡¯ll continue to queue after drinking some water.¡± He had practiced for several hours before the start of the stream, and now he felt really tired. After that, he picked up his cellphone and replied: I know. Lu Xiuhe: You know, and you don¡¯t riddle him with bullets? Yu Yan: Worried about someone trying to move me to the beat of their music. Although he didn¡¯t watch livestreams often, it wasn¡¯t like he had never seen any. There were arge number of anchors now, and from time to time, anchors would meet in-game. Previously, there had been a host who had reported another host for using a bot and was then chased by the other host¡¯s fans until they DDOSed his stream. This issue even made it to Weibo¡¯s hot topics. Although he was just a small anchor and didn¡¯t have that much influence, it was better to avoid trouble. Lu Xiuhe: ? Lu Xiuhe: Bro, if you¡¯re scared, I have to look down on you. Yu Yan: Oh, are we ying? Lu Xiuhe: ying, daddy, but I¡¯m outside right now. Can we do it tomorrow? I¡¯ll be yours all day tomorrow. Yu Yan: OK. Lu Xiuhe: By the way, you can also ask for gifts ah. Gifts can increase points and upgrades. StarTV had up to 30 levels for anchors. The higher the anchor level, the more anchor functions that could be unlocked. For example, reaching level 3 meant viewer lotteries could be carried out, level 15 meant the number of room moderators increased, and level 30 meant an anchor could apply for the big rmended position on the livestream tform¡¯s homepage. Lu Xiuhe always liked to watch livestreams, so his understanding of these aspects was much more than that of a new anchor. After replying okay, Yu Yan looked at the follower count, which was disyed next to his profile picture. There were actually 800 followers. His livestream¡¯s viewer count was only 1600 thest time he had looked at it, so this meant that half of them were actually willing to follow him. ¡°Thank you everyone who followed me. At present, my livestreaming time is from 11:30 a.m. to after 11:30 p.m. Of course, we will have to take a break during mealtimes.¡± He said while reading the barrage, ¡°It¡¯s verypetitive? It¡¯s okay ba, I¡¯m new, I have to work harder.¡± ¡°If you think that I y pretty well, you can send me some free gifts. When I get to level 3, I can y with some stream viewers.¡± The viewers got 10 daily free gifts for signing into the tform. Although the amount of points from the free gifts weren¡¯t as much as that of the paid gifts, they were still very useful in the early stages. As soon as he said that, a lot of free gifts appeared. [I really want to y games with the anchor! Serving up ten little mes!!] [Don¡¯t dally around ah, quickly y the game.] [That little Jiejie just applied to be your friend, quickly click ept!!!] Yu Yan changed windows and saw that No. 2¡¯s ount really had sent a friend request. He hesitated, fearing that the g man Chen Ran was back to curse him out. In the end, he still clicked on it and epted the friend request. The other party immediately sent across a team request. The white-skinned man stood in the game interface, and the voice of the little Jiejie sounded again. ¡°No.1, let¡¯s add each other as friends to y together next time ah. I can y pretty well, I was just so enraged by that fool this time.¡± Yu Yanughed, ¡°Alright, what¡¯s your ID?¡± ¡°FOCOPINK.¡± After adding each other as friends, the little Jiejie hurriedly said goodbye and left, but by now, there was a big group of people in the barrage begging Yu Yan to add them as a friend as well. Yu Yan picked out a few nice IDs and added them. Soon, he received invitations to y, but he refused all of them and started a squad match on his own. ¡°It¡¯s a littlete now, so I¡¯ll y two more matches before signing off. I¡¯ll be back at 11:30 precisely, tomorrow morning.¡± [So fast?? I just watched two matches¡­] [y for awhile longer ah, I just got hooked.] [Anchor, turn on the camera, turn on the camera, turn on the camera!] [I¡¯ll give you ten more little mes, if you stream a little longer.] Yu Yan took a look at his points. He had just mentioned it once, and he had already reached anchor level 2, and was also halfway to level 3. Hepromised, ¡°Okay ba, since everyone gave me so many gifts, I¡¯ll y a little longer¡­¡± [1 sent you a little star] ¡®A little star¡¯ was a paid gift, and though it didn¡¯t sound very dignified, it cost 500 yuan, and was the first paid gift Yu Yan received. ¡°Thank you 1 for the gift.¡± Yu Yan looked again at the username, ¡°Ah¡­ Boss, I remember you. You were my first livestream viewer.¡± Yi Chen paused while holding the mouse. He just thought the anchor was interesting, so, when he heard that he wanted gifts, he easily sent one. Since he had a special ount, he didn¡¯t even have to pay for it. Unexpectedly, he was directly called out. In the stream, the man was still speaking, ¡°Boss, since we¡¯ve been brought together by fate, do you want to y a game? How about I take you along for a match?¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t y games, but when he had nced at it just now, he had thought that the game was very interesting. It was a shooting game, every man¡¯s favorite. It was also no wonder why this game¡¯s poprity could rise rapidly in just a few months. From the report submitted by his subordinates, the PUBG section was now StarTV¡¯s most viewed section. [1: No need.] Seeing the other party refuse, Yu Yan didn¡¯t insist and quickly opened the map to mark a city to jump to. ¡ª After a whole day of livestreaming, it was midnight by the time he had taken a bath and gotten into bed. Yu Yanid on his stomach on the bed, casually picked up his cellphone from the bedside table, and clicked on StarTV¡¯s livestream tform. He thought for a moment, got up and felt around in the cab for the documents that he had just printed out. Today, Administrator 03 had sent the rules and precautions sponsored anchors must follow, which also included the room numbers and Live IDs of the five participating anchors. He had been in a hurry before, so he had only nced at it when he had received it. Now, when he looked through it carefully, his suspicions were immediately confirmed. Next to his ID, there was a familiar name: XKToshu. It was the little aimbotter from earlier today. When he had seen the ID, he had thought it looked familiar, but since he was livestreaming at that time, he couldn¡¯t confirm it. Every yer hated aimbotters, and Yu Yan was no exception. Although he hadn¡¯t said anything during the livestream, he had still felt very disgusted inside. He thought about it and typed in XKToshu¡¯s room number on his cellphone. The room was still livestreaming. The title of the room was: [New anchoroshu, epting all kinds of teases and insults! There¡¯s a cash bonus draw every hour!] Yu Yan nced at the viewer count and couldn¡¯t help curling his lips. The viewer count was at a good 14,000. Lotteries would definitely attract viewers, but it was a pity that his wallet couldn¡¯t support him using such an extravagant method. In order to concentrate solely on livestreaming, he had worked as an apanying yer for a long time before he could save up enough for the five figure deposit. He had also been worried that livestreaming wouldn¡¯t earn any money and so had left another path for himself. ¡°It¡¯s almost two o¡¯clock. When I¡¯m done ying, I¡¯ll do another draw for everyone. The draw is for 500 yuan ha, and as long as you¡¯re in the barrage, you¡¯re in!¡± The man¡¯s voice was a little shrill, and he spoke with some kind of an ent. At the bottom right of the game interface was a camera. A somewhat plump man with a t head sat in front of the camera. Visible behind him were many small PUBG souvenirs. Laoshu was ying a squad match, and there were only 12 people left in the final circle. Yu Yan, fighting against his drowsiness, decided to watch to the end of the game. At first, it looked like normal gamey. He could see that thisoshu really had some strength, otherwise he couldn¡¯t have been able to meet the requirements of the anchor sponsorship program. In the end though, Yu Yan noticed something wrong when the number of survivors fell to 5. ¡ª¡ªThisoshu, as soon as he opened a scope, he would be able to find someone. It was very difficult to find people in the final circle. Everyone would try to hide their tracks so as to not expose their positions and be caught by the other surviving yers. But wheneveroshu opened a scope, he could not only see where the person was, but even see where their head was. This happened twice in a row. Before he could even think about how it happened, the two heads had been put intooshu¡¯s kill count, and arge number of 6666 flew out of the barrage. [The anchor is really awesome, winning the match 6 times in one night, powerful!] [Is this really a new anchor? He¡¯s more powerful than those old anchors, scatter, scatter! Following now, when I want to watch him again, I can just click in directly~] oshu ah, he¡¯s been in Asia¡¯s top ten, very powerful. It¡¯s also said that he¡¯s a good friend of banana oh!] banana was a famous StarTV anchor, who was always floating on the front page of the PUBG section all year round. Yu Yan had already seen it several times just today. Yu Yan frowned. He didn¡¯t know if he was seeing things wrong, but he kept thinking that this barrage and the colorful way of bragging aboutoshu¡¯s fighting prowess conveyed something very strange. Like a water army. In between his doubts, the other side had opened a scope for the third time, and upon catching sight of a helmet once again, had shot it quickly. Suddenly, at this time, there was a gunshot.oshu¡¯s game character was shot, and half of his health immediately vanished. Without hesitation,oshu stood up, changed guns, and opened a scope. The redserpoint urately aimed at the other person¡¯s head, several shots were fired, and then another headshot was made! Headshot bot! Aimbotter! Yu Yan couldn¡¯t help but curse in his heart. Not even mentioning the fact that his person was wearing a camouge armor¡ªhis position was also inoshu¡¯s blind spot on the right. Even if he had heard the gunshot that had injured him,oshu would have never been able to aim at the other person¡¯s head in one go! After sessfully eating the chicken,oshu hehed, ¡°I¡¯m tired of eating chicken all the time. It¡¯s boring, so boring. Opening up a prize ah. Old rules, people who are in the barrage can participate in the lottery, if I pull someone else it won¡¯t count ha.¡± As soon as he said that, the barrage filled with praise. One of thements in the barrage looked very out of ce. [Is the anchor running an aimbot ba? Getting headshots four times in a row during thest few circles? Isn¡¯t this obvious? Today, when I watched the livestream of other anchors, I saw that you headshotted three people with an M4 in the final circle. It¡¯s too fake¡­] ¡°Which anchor did you watch live ah?¡±oshu looked at the barrage and said in a disdainful voice, ¡°It¡¯s not that I¡¯m too fake, it¡¯s that the host you¡¯re watching is too noob ba? Come watch meter, I guarantee you¡¯ll have a good time.¡± [Also a new anchor, called yanxyan] ¡°Oh, him ah¡­ I know him. He said I¡¯m using an aimbot?¡±oshu raised his thick eyebrows. He had seen that person¡¯s name on the Asian server¡¯s ranking list and also on the sponsored anchor contract. He grinned so widely that his facial features all wrinkled together. ¡°How do you think he fell from first ce in the Asian rankings to such a low rank? Because¡­ too noob ah.¡± [hahahahahaha, reasonable and with evidence!] [Who is yanxyan ah? Haven¡¯t heard of them. As soon as they¡¯re killed, they say someone was running an aimbot, very funny.] oshu is mighty and powerful!] The mocked party yawned in bed, slowly shut down the stream, and wormed into his nkets. Calmly, in his heart, he added the XKToshu ID onto his revenge list. ¡ª Juurensha:oshu, just you wait. Divi: Can¡¯t wait to see the revenge. I hate aimbotters!! Chapter 5 - A sexy little anchor Chapter 5 - A sexy little anchor Edited by Divetus and Noks After he woke up, Yu Yan went into the bathroom to wash up, and when he came out, the doorbell rang. Yu Minyang, who was dressed in a suit, was standing outside with two cups of soymilk in his hand, along with a bag filled with several meat baozi and youtiao. ¡°Just woke up? Perfect, let¡¯s have breakfast together.¡± Yu Yan was stupefied. He quickly got out of the way and let the other party in. Yu Minyang came in and looked around. It wasn¡¯t his first timeing here, but he still wasn¡¯t satisfied with this environment. The room wasn¡¯t actually messy, but it was too small. It was supposedly an apartment, but it seemed more like a room. It also wasn¡¯t in a good location, and there were only three small shops downstairs. He was really worried about his nephew¡¯s diet. Because Yu Yan always ate by himself, the table prepared for dining in his home was very small. It was more than enough for one person, but it seemed a bit crowded with two people. ¡°Thank you.¡± Yu Yan took the breakfast from him and put it all at the corner of the table. ¡°The table is a little small, sorry for making you suffer, but please sit.¡± ¡°Not suffering, it¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t sat in small ces.¡± Yu Minyang had also been poor growing up, but his family had been harmonious, and he hadn¡¯t suffered much. As soon as he sat down, he said, ¡°I¡¯vee to see you before work. When we¡¯re done eating, I¡¯ll go.¡± He saw the loose and scattered earphones on theputer table and asked, ¡°Did you y games until midnight against night?¡± ¡°No, I went to bed early.¡± Yu Yan took a bite of the baozi. ¡°Delicious.¡± ¡°Eat more if it¡¯s delicious, I bought a lot.¡± Yu Minyang paused and then slowly exined the purpose of his trip. ¡°Xiao Yan, Uncle¡¯s house has finished renovations this year. It has two floors, and there¡¯s an empty room on the second floor. Your environment here is average, and it¡¯s not close to the city. It¡¯s inconvenient. Just pack up and move to Uncle¡¯s house.¡± ¡°No need, Uncle.¡± Yu Yan refused without even thinking about it. ¡°I live very well here, and I usually have to livestream, which will end up disturbing you.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t help but worry about you when you¡¯re living by yourself.¡± ¡°I¡¯m an adult man, what¡¯s there to worry about?¡± Yu Yan smiled. ¡°Uncle, you really don¡¯t have to worry about me. I¡¯m doing well by myself.¡± Yu Minyang choked. Perhaps it was because he hadn¡¯t been fed enough as a child, but, although he was past the age of growth spurts, Yu Yan was still fairly thin. He wasn¡¯t short, but his arms and waist were very thin. Adding on his pale, clean skin and his delicate, gentle face, it made his uncle want to bring this little nephew all the delicious food and drinks in the world. It wasn¡¯t just girls in this world who could cause people to feel tender-hearted towards them. Yu Minyang tried to talk to him about moving again, but it was useless, and finally, he could only get up. ¡°Then, I¡¯ll go to work now. If you need anything, just call me ¡ª be sure to call.¡± Yu Yan said okay and sent him downstairs. ¡°In the future Uncle, if you want to see me, call me first, and I¡¯lle to find you. The roads here are narrow, and it¡¯s not easy for you to drive.¡± After Yu Minyang left, Yu Yan stretched his limbs out where he was standing, and only after that, slowly turned to go upstairs. He turned on theputer and found that Lu Xiuhe had been waiting for him online. Lu Xiuhe sent him a message as soon as his avatar lit up. Your Great Lord Lu: Holy shit, you finally woke up! Yu Yan looked at the time; it was only nine o¡¯clock, and he replied: What¡¯s the matter? Your Great Lord Lu: Don¡¯t mention it! It¡¯s all my fault for waking up early today and cheaply opening up random livestreams, like a fool, to try to pick up some experience. This caused me to encounter a disgusting thing. I¡¯ve been angry for two hours! Your Great Lord Lu: I can¡¯t hold it in anymore. I was just about to call you! Yu Yan: Talk. Your Great Lord Lu: That aimbotter you ran into yesterday, do you remember him? Yu Yan furrowed his eyebrows and took the opportunity to log into his livestream ount, quietly waiting for him to continue his rant. Your Great Lord Lu: I clicked on a stream, and it happened to be that aimbotter¡¯s livestream! The anchor is calledoshu! When I entered, he just happened to be ridiculing you. I actually thought I heard him wrong at first, damn it! Your Great Lord Lu: He seemed to know what had transpired between the two of you yesterday. He said that you¡¯re noob, you don¡¯t have a good personality, that you¡¯re just an apanying yer and any person grabbed randomly off the street could be your boss¡­ Dingdong. A different sound from QQ sounded, and it was the ringtone for a message directed to the livestream ount. Administrator 03: Hello yanxyan. After receiving reports from other anchors, the tform suspects that you have vilified or ndered other anchors. It is now necessary to temporarily suspend your ount for an hour and watch the livestream rey video to verify the situation. Yu Yan frowned and looked at the time. This message had been sent four hours ago. yanxyan: Oh, have you finished checking? Administrator 03: Finished checking, your stream has already been un-suspended. yanxyan: En, I want to report something. Administrator 03: What? Yu Yan enteredoshu¡¯s livestream, but it wasn¡¯t active, so he had probably gone to rest. He didn¡¯t look at the stream for long. He just directly copiedoshu¡¯s livestream room number and sent it to the administrator. yanxyan: Whatever he reports me for, I will report him for. Go check it ba. Administrator 03: ¡­. On the other hand, Lu Xiuhe had already flooded his message inbox with a ton of stupid emoticons. Yu Yan: Enough, let¡¯s y? Lu Xiuhe: ? Lu Xiuhe: No, why aren¡¯t you angry at all ah! Yu Yan: Angry ah. Lu Xiuhe: Then, where¡¯s your anger? Yu Yan: Holding it in bei. Lu Xiuhe: Even if you¡¯re my boosting daddy, I have to say, Yu Yan, you¡¯re too frightened. Yu Yan: ¡­ Then what do you want me to do? Lu Xiuhe¡¯s fingers, which were typing over the keyboard, stilled. Yeah, what else could he do? PUBG was different from other games. There was no arena or 1V1 mode, so most in-game spats happened over opposite sides spraying each other. There were so many of these cases. The only way was to snipe him. Yu Yan would have to keep an eye onoshu¡¯s livestream and try to get matched with him. But there were so many yers in the game, and it wasn¡¯t easy for two specific people to get put in the same match. Even if that did happen, they probably wouldn¡¯t be able to recognizeoshu. Yu Yan opened up the game and sent another message: Let¡¯s y? Lu Xiuhe was silenced and obediently entered the game lobby. ¡°You¡¯re not livestreaming ah?¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°Streaming, just going to y for an hour first to warm up.¡± ¡ª After an hour of ying duos, Lu Xiuhe was relieved. He was worried that Yu Yan would be in a bad mood after hearing aboutoshu, which would in turn affect his y. He had over thought it. Today¡¯s Yu Yan ughtered his way through, and the sound of gunfire rang across Georgopol. He felt even fiercer than usual. Yu Yan drank some water and started his livestream. When the livestream of an anchor they followed started, the viewers online at that time would get a notification. Soon, hundreds of people entered the stream. [Unexpectedly, the livestream started early, surprise! After watching your livestream yesterday, I even dreamed that I was ying games¡­ But I haven¡¯t bought PUBG :)] [Will you hold a draw for stream viewers to y with you today?] [Eh, who¡¯s in the anchor¡¯s game lobby? A girl??] Lu Xiuhe¡¯s game avatar was a girl, just like Yu Yan¡¯s, but while Yu Yan¡¯s avatar was a dark-skinned bald female, Lu Xiuhe¡¯s wasn¡¯t like that ¡ª her skin was as pale as the game settings allowed for, she had the most beautiful facial features, her upper body was covered in tight ck clothes, and her lower body wore an ultra-short yellow id skirt, thus giving off a very coquettish aura. His game ID was Niludy. At first nce, it was a pretty cute name, but in fact, it was short for ¡°Your Great Lord Lu.¡± ¡°It¡¯s my friend, we usually y together.¡± Yu Yan looked at his anchor level experience bar. ¡°If today¡¯s anchor level can go up to level 3, then I¡¯ll do a draw for stream viewers to y with for the day.¡± By saying this, he tricked these few hundred people into sending him today¡¯s free gifts. There was a beeping sound. Lu Xiuhe had actually sent a QQ message. Your Great Lord Lu: Should I not turn on my mic? Will that affect your livestream? Yu Yan didn¡¯t bother hiding it at all. He opened the message directly in front of the viewers, and their entire chat was then disyed on the livestream page. ¡°Won¡¯t affect it, they don¡¯t like watching single-yer matches.¡± Yu Yan finished talking, closed the chat box, and straightaway joined the game. Lu Xiuhe thought, ¡°¡­ Am I not shy over here?¡± Three minutester. Lu Xiuhe¡¯s voice resounded through the livestream, ¡°Holy shit! This dog is making trouble for me! Yanyan,e save me, save me ah!!¡± Yu Yan was in the building next to him. ¡°I only have pistols.¡± ¡°What does it matter, the type of gun you have? Even if you only have a frying pan¡­ No, even if you only had a scythe, you would still be able to knock everyone down.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Daddy, hurry up, this man ising over to end me!¡± [lololololol, this call of ¡°daddy¡± really has some feeling to it.] [His ttery is very good, you can tell he¡¯s done this before.] Yu Yan, indifferent to the ttery, crouched on the balcony, holding a small pistol. His pistol was a P1911, which most yers thought was the worst pistol in the game. The pistol¡¯s magazine could only hold seven bullets, so the pistol was an extremely challenging weapon for most yers. If the enemy wasn¡¯t taken out within seven shots, the situation would be very thorny. The enemy appeared in his field of vision, holding an AKM in his hands. If he was facing the other yer head-on, as long as the yer had some skill, his chance at victory would be very slim. [Don¡¯t save him, or you¡¯ll probably turn into a lootbox on your first match.] Just after the barrage shed with such messages, the game character hiding in the balcony suddenly stood up and then opened the scope ¡ª because he hadn¡¯t found a scope attachment, opening up the scope wasn¡¯t very effective, and the uracy wasn¡¯t easy to control. Bang! Yu Yan found the right time to shoot. With the sound of the shot, green blood immediately spurted out from the enemy, and he started to bleed continuously. The other side quickly responded and tried to dodge the bullets. Four secondster, a white line appeared at the bottom of the screen¡ª¡ª [You killed Orzbieshanibb with a P1911] [66666666 Gunslinger god!!] [He¡¯s actually pretty strong. This gun is too low tier, I usually don¡¯t even pick it up¡­] [I don¡¯t think the anchor is cruel enough. If I were the one with the 1911, don¡¯t even talk about saving my teammate, I¡¯d run far, far away and hide.] ¡°Can¡¯t be helped.¡± Yu Yan killed the person, then ran upstairs to help Lu Xiuhe, who had fallen to the ground, revive, and jokingly said, ¡°The title of daddy is for life.¡± When Yi Chen opened the livestream, he just happened to hear that. At this time, he was sitting in a car, ready to go to the StarTV¡¯s branch office for a meeting. Such a sentence suddenly resonated in the originally quiet car, and the assistant couldn¡¯t help but look at his boss through the rearview mirror. The division manager of the StarTV subdivision, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, immediately asked, ¡°President Yi, are you watching a livestream?¡± Yi Chen casually plugged his earphones into hisptop, inserted one earbud, and lightly looked at him as he said, ¡°Clicked wrong.¡± He had clicked open the wrong app. Yet, after entering the app, he could see a red 1 in the lower right corner of the app screen. Obsessivepulsive disorder had made him click on it, and he realized that the little anchor, who he had watched yesterday, had started streaming. ¡°So it¡¯s like that¡­¡± The division manager finished speaking, but two minutester, noticed that his boss was still watching the livestream. He paused and asked, ¡°President Yi, which anchor¡¯s livestream are you watching?¡± Within the game, Yu Yan disyed another wave of showy gamey, by jumping down from upstairs with only half his health, and shooting out a barrage at the enemy in midair. The enemy he had knocked down opened the all-chat mode on the microphone. ¡°My god, what happened? An immortal??¡± Yu Yan wasn¡¯t in a hurry to kill him. He opened the all-chat mode on his microphone too. ¡°StarTV Livestream Room 6969323, a sexy little anchor, online teacher of gunslingers, with no application fee, and if you can¡¯t learn, you¡¯ll be knocked down.¡± Inside the car. When this deration reached Yi Chen¡¯s ears, the corner of his mouth unconsciously curved up. His voice was as calm as usual as he uttered the words: ¡°A sexy little anchor.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The division manager had already turned pale. What kind of person without eyes was streaming something lewd in broad daylight?? ¡ª Juurensha: Aw Boss Yi is a fan! Divi: LMAO yanyan¡¯s advertising, A+ Noks: +1, I¡¯d buy yanyan¡¯s lessons! And guys, if you¡¯re liking the novel so far, can you rate it on the Novelupdates page here? Not sure why people keep leaving 1 star reviews¡­. Chapter 6 - Whats the matter with you, little bro Chapter 6 - What¡¯s the matter with you, little bro Edited by Divetus and Noks Nowadays, with the rapid development of the eSports industry, it had be an important area of investment. The livestream tform had be a big cash cow. In just a few years, many livestream apps had sprung up, which greatly satisfied the needs of eSports fans. In the livestream industry, the most popr tform was StarTV, which had beenunched three years ago. Since StarTV¡¯s backers were very strong and it had sufficient capital, as soon as itunched, it attracted talents. Now that it had expanded, five out of ten popr anchors were all on StarTV. But even so, StarTV was just a small subdivision of the Yida Group. Their big boss hade to visit thepany for the first time. Usually, they just sorted out the materials and gave them to the division manager, who would then send it to the boss. Although StarTV¡¯s senior management and various executives had fully mentally prepared themselves, when their boss really appeared in front of them, the tension in their hearts immediately reached its peak, especially for the women. It was for no other reason other than the fact that their boss¡¯s manner was far too imposing. His height of 1.9 m, plus his exquisite and profound facial features, just that area naturally carried a deep sense of presence. ¡°Hello President Yi¡­¡± After a long time, an executive quickly returned to his senses and immediately went up to him. Yi Chen¡¯s steps didn¡¯t even stop. ¡°Where is the meeting room?¡± ¡°Ah? Oh¡­ Just right ahead!¡± ¡°En, send out a notice to start the meeting.¡± In the meeting room, the air-conditioner was running at full-st. Even the employees, who usually thought the A/C wasn¡¯t very good, couldn¡¯t help get goosebumps on their arms at the moment. Yi Chen sat in the chair and listened quietly for a long time. When he heard about a particr n, he paused. ¡°Anchor sponsorship program?¡± ¡°Yes. We justunched the program this year, and it¡¯s in its first trial phase.¡± The division manager immediately exined, ¡°Nowadays, because new anchors are often suppressed, there are fewer and fewer of them that can rise to the top, thus we specially implemented this n. We also want to train the new anchors in person. The rules and regtions on the contract are also very strict, so we don¡¯t need to worry about them job hopping or any other situations. At present, we have only recruited five anchors, and we will gradually expand the scope of this program in the future.¡± Every industry had some unknown little secrets, and the livestreaming industry was no different. No one wanted to be robbed of their job, and among these secrets, insiders knew that repression couldn¡¯t bepletely eliminated. Thus, they could only find other ways to suppress it. Yi Chen suddenly remembered that the anchor he had seen yesterday seemed to have been a new recruit as well? ¡°Where¡¯s the list of names?¡± The division manager rummaged through his documents and found the list immediately. It was yesterday¡¯s livestream data analysis. Yi Chen took a look at it. As expected, he saw the ¡°yanxyan¡± ID on it. ording to yesterday¡¯s livestream data, yanxyan was ranked second. His eyebrows raised slightly; the first ce anchor¡¯s numbers were dozens of times higher than that of yanxyan¡¯s. He looked at the asterisk in front of XKToshu¡¯s ID and asked, ¡°What does this symbol mean?¡± ¡°Ah, this¡­¡± The division manager¡¯s expression changed. Yi Chen raised his eyes to look at him. His eyes were dark, and his look flustered the division manager so much he had to confess. ¡°In fact, this is a rtive of a big anchor on our tform. He has shown his face on that big anchor¡¯s livestream before, so he brought some poprity over to his stream, and the numbers were very good after the stream ended.¡± The division manager said, ¡°¡­So, we n to strike while the iron is hot, and give him the rmended position in advance.¡± Yi Chen narrowed his eyes. The division manager tried to sugarcoat it, but putting it simply, just two days after this sponsorship program had started, first ce had already been decided. Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and said nothing. When the division manager breathed a sigh of relief, the man suddenly moved. He lifted his hand and slowly took out a pen from his suit jacket pocket. He opened it and lightly made two strokes on the paper with it. He scratched out the asterisk and pushed the paper back. ¡°Are you currently in charge of the program?¡± The division manager was stunned. ¡°No, that¡¯s Xiao Zhang&#k2026;¡± The named employee immediately sat up straight and was about to speak. Yi Chen was concise andprehensive. ¡°Change him out.¡± Xiao Zhang¡¯s face immediately froze. Yi Chen didn¡¯t even give him a passing nce. He nced sideways at his assistant and said without any hesitation, ¡°Investigate. Check if there¡¯s anyone who has close ties to that new anchor.¡± Even if the numbers were good, such a qualifier wasn¡¯t enough to immediately advertise him as a rmended streamer. Perhaps, there was another qualification being taken into ount? The assistant immediately wrote it down in his meeting minutes. ¡°Alright.¡± The meeting room¡¯s temperature immediately dropped a few degrees. Previously, there had been some female employees who wanted to work for Yi Chen. At this moment, they were lowering their faces to look at the floor, to avoid being noticed by the big boss. ¡ª ¡°Going to take a break to have lunch.¡± After the match was over, Yu Yan ced the takeout box in front of him, held the mouse, and mumbled, ¡°Are there any recent, popr dramas? Let¡¯s pass lunchtime with everyone watching a show together? Empresses in the Pce? Imperial court intrigue drama? I¡¯m a big man, watching this isn¡¯t quite right ba.¡± Although he said this, he had already opened the first episode of Empresses in the Pce. [You say you don¡¯t want to, but your hands are honest.] [Big man? I don¡¯t believe it, turn on your webcam!] [This show is poisonous. It¡¯spletely just Stallion Emperor and His Concubines. The heroine is neglected for 65 episodes, and in thest 15 episodes, she¡¯ll develop some feelings and be the empress. What the hell¡­ But, there are some good points, the actresses for all the concubines are all very beautiful!] Yu Yan had ordered a portion of snail soup noodles at noon today. The dish¡¯s smell spread all over the room, which led him to take big bites. He set the video speed to y twice as fast and ate the vermicelli slowly. As the viewers had said, the first episode had six beautiful concubines, and each of them had about the same amount of screen time. ¡°The cast is very luxurious.¡± A famous actress appeared, and Yu Yan swallowed a noodle and spoke at the same time. [I like her, too!] [Obviously Concubine Xian is better looking!! You big pigs just like ones with big boobs!] [They¡¯re about to go into the concubine baths! It¡¯s super great, don¡¯t know how it got past the censors! Very steamy!] Soon, the episode reached the part in the baths that the barrage was talking about. The actress¡¯s shoulders werepletely exposed, her skin was smooth, soft, and glossy, and her chest had a good amount of cleavage showing. With the smoky, colorful scenery, it felt very vivid. It really was quite steamy. [Ahhhhhhhh nosebleed!!] [She relied on this scene to get a wave of straight male fans! She directly gained over 10,000 fans on Weibo!!] [Nourishment nourishment nourishment ¡ª Did the anchor turn off his mic? Why haven¡¯t you responded?] Upon seeing the barrage cue him, Yu Yan swallowed arge mouthful of noodles. ¡°I¡¯m eating snail soup noodles, it¡¯s especially delicious.¡± [???] [Should this be your response as a normal guy??] [Turn on your webcam, I really don¡¯t believe you¡¯re a man now (PS: point the video at your crotch)] Yu Yanughed and said in a cooperative tone, ¡°Can¡¯t do that, I¡¯m not one of those sexy anchors.¡± Because it was an imperial court intrigue drama, the male lead didn¡¯t show up until 17 minutes into the episode. Nearing the end of Yu Yan¡¯s meal, he saw a man who was wearing a Dragon Robe, had a straight nose, bright eyes, and entered the scene with an imposing presence. ¡°Who is the male lead¡¯s actor? Does anybody in the barrage know about him?¡± He said this as he took out his cellphone and opened his microblog to follow the male actor. ¡°Is he a new actor? I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve seen him before. His air while wearing the Dragon Robe is very nice, the producer has a good eye.¡± [???] [£¿£¿£¿£¿£¿£¿] [What¡¯s the matter with you, little bro?] Yu Yan paused and only then figured out that he seemed to have exposed something. ¡°I¡¯m kidding.¡± He coughed a little and looked down. He saw that the barrage was still joking, saying that he was acting pretty gay. At this time, a line of small characters appeared in the stream chat interface. [1 has entered the stream.] As if he had seen his savior, he immediately switched the topic. ¡°Wee to my livestream 1!¡± Yi Chen: ¡°¡­¡± In the study, Yi Chen turned down the livestream¡¯s volume, turned on the desktopputer, and pulled up the forum page that he had previously read half of. Although he was always afraid of noise while working, he didn¡¯t know why butst night, after listening to this little anchor¡¯s livestream, his entire state of mind had rxed. Also, he was very interested in the content of this game. Although the anchor¡¯s ystyle was rtively simple, he would use clear-cut and violent methods to kill off his enemies one by one, and he would asionally get excited and nervous. Liking firearms, appreciating stimtion, the desire to see the moment of the explosion, this was the nature of men. ¡°Boss hase, no more eating, no more eating,¡± Yu Yan said, cleaning up the snail soup noodles in front of him quickly. ¡°En? My anchor level is three now?¡± He turned on the settings, and sure enough, the lottery option was lit up. ¡°Then, I¡¯ll hold a drawing for two stream viewers to y PUBG together ba.¡± Since it was his first time, Yu Yan studied how this high-end lottery system worked for several minutes before he understood it. Immediately after he set up the participation barrage for the lottery, the livestream page was immediately covered by the barrage. 60 secondster, the winning viewer names came out. The room management processed it and soon the viewers¡¯ game IDs were sent to Yu Yan. The two stream viewers entered the game lobby, and altogether, four female characters stood in the interface, all with four different skin colors. Coincidentally, the names of the winning stream viewers were very cute. They had all used letters and symbols to create cute and colorful words. They were even wearing the same ck hip-length mini-skirt. [ording to my many years of experience in online dating, these two stream viewers must be girls. If I¡¯m wrong, I will quit the online dating scene.] [Person above, do you take apprentices??] [Unexpected online dating expert¡­] Yu Yan didn¡¯t say much. He directly entered Manners za, and the winning stream viewers¡¯ positions were No. 1 and No. 2 respectively. ¡°No. 1, No. 2, can you speak?¡± Either men or women were fine, he just hoped that he hadn¡¯t drawn stream viewers who couldn¡¯t talk. If that was so, the livestream effect would be greatly reduced. No. 1 responded, ¡°I can.¡± A sweet girlish voice resounded, and you could almost taste the honey. No. 2 replied, ¡°Can.¡± It was thezy voice of a domineering Jie, one which made people want to immediatelyy down t under its pressure. So these voices were voted the ¡°top 2 women¡¯s voices that straight maleizens liked the most¡±. The livestream chat was boiling. [Holy shitttttt!!! The host is so lucky!!!!] [Does No. 1 little Jiejie do online dating?? I¡¯ll buy you a new skirt!!] [No. 2 little Jiejie fuck me!!!] [I can!!! I¡¯m fine with anything!!!] Yu Yan opened the small map. ¡°Where does everyone want to jump to?¡± No. 1 answered, ¡°I¡¯m fine with anything.¡± No. 2 said, ¡°I want to y something more stimting.¡± ¡°OK, No. 2 little Jiejie, let¡¯s go to Pochinki,¡± Lu Xiuhe deliberately lowered his pitch and pretended to have a low, deep voice, ¡°I will protect you.¡± Alright, I knew you liked domineering Jies better. Yu Yan randomly marked a house in Pochinki. ¡°Then, jump here ba. Try tond at my target point, it¡¯ll be a bit easier to fight that way.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Hahaha, Yu Yan immediately reacting to the ML of the drama instead of any of the girls Divi: When yanyan already knows what he wants :). Noks: Wonder what¡¯ll happen when yanyan hears Boss Yi¡¯s voice!!! So quick notice: We will only be putting out one chapter this week because we¡¯re a little overwhelmed, but never fear, we¡¯ll be back soon! And CG is running a holiday giveaway, so be sure to vote for it here! Chapter 7 - A cute girl can be forgiven no matter what she does Chapter 7 - A cute girl can be forgiven no matter what she does Edited by Divetus and Noks Although they had nned in advance, after Yu Yannded, he looked over and saw that No. 1 had nearly jumped to the middle of the street when Yu Yan had marked the edge of the street as their first-person POVsof professional yers, and this anchor searches rooms faster than many professional yers¡­] Yu Yan didn¡¯t look at the barrage, and finally found a SCAR-L in the fourth house. ¡°Xiao Yan, did you find a gun ah?¡± Lu Xiuhe asked. ¡°En.¡± ¡°Come here!¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s voice was tense. ¡°I hear footsteps here. There are lots of people. I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t fight them on my own.¡± Yu Yan raised the gun. ¡°Coming.¡± Upon seeing him approach, Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Right next to me, do you hear¡­¡± ¡°Shh, I hear footsteps.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I see it, they¡¯re next to you, on the house with a green roof.¡± As soon as he finished saying that, the enemy found him. Two gun barrels immediately pointed out of the window. Yu Yan turned around and hid in the house, but still identally got shot twice. Fortunately, although there hadn¡¯t been any guns in the previous houses, there had been a lot of medicine, so he immediately used a first-aid kit on himself. ¡°As I finish with this future loot-box, you go around them and I¡¯ll pretend to attack them from the front, so you can sneak attack them from behind. Try to keep your footsteps as light as possible.¡± Lu Xiuhe was very excited. ¡°Got it. I¡¯ll directly deal with them ording to the n ¡ª No. 2 little Jiejie, stay further away from us, so as not to be found identally.¡± No. 2 little Jiejie faintly said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t go over there.¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t add anything. He gently moved his mouse and mentally calcted the position of the enemy from where they had just opened their scope. Then, taking advantage of the enemy¡¯s surprise, he immediately peeked for a bit and then strafed him with gunfire¡ª¡ª [yanxyan killed gongxzie with a SCAR-L] The enemy¡¯s teammate responded with several shots, but he quickly retreated, and all the bullets just hit the wall. Yu Yan said, ¡°There¡¯s another one.¡± Lu Xiuhe was still crouched at this time, each step taking double the time. ¡°Okay! I¡¯m nearly at the back door¡­¡± Before he had finished speaking, another series of shots rang out. Soon, a line of small words appeared in the upper right corner of the screen again. [yanxyan killed jinzxj1132 with a SCAR-L] His friend¡¯s voice sounded through his headset: ¡°All dead, you can go loot them ba, just leave me some 556 ammo.¡± Lu Xiuhe: ¡°¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe cried out, ¡°When you watched me spend several minutes trying to sneak behind them without getting there, did you think I looked stupid?¡± Yu Yan said sympathetically, ¡°Don¡¯t say that about yourself.¡± Lu Xiuhe remarked, ¡°Shit.¡± Fortunately, although No.1 hadn¡¯tnded at the right ce, the buildings near her area conveniently didn¡¯t have a single person in them. Additionally, because she wasn¡¯t very fast at searching through buildings, despite the several waves of fighting on their side, she had just started searching the third building. No. 2 little Jiejie¡¯s skills were obviously better than that of No. 1. She also contributed her strength during the several waves of fighting and had even killed someone. Two minutester, No. 1 ran out of the room and said, ¡°I¡¯ming to you guys now¡­¡± As soon as she said that, Yu Yan¡¯s ears immediately heard the sound of gunfire, and then he saw that his teammate¡¯s status, which was visible at the bottom left of the screen, had turned red. No. 1 screamed, ¡°Ah¡ªah! I got headshotted¡­¡± Yu Yan had just wanted to say something when he heard a suddenugh from No. 2. He wasn¡¯t sure if he was just imagining things, but overall, he felt like thatugh contained a lot of hidden meanings. Sure enough, in the next second, No. 2 said, ¡°If you can¡¯t y, just stay hidden in the house.¡± The disdain nearly oozed out of the domineering Jie¡¯szy and careless tone, ¡°You¡¯re too far away and there might be someone elseing for you¡­ It¡¯s too hard to save you ah.¡± [To tell you the truth, No. 1¡¯s kind of a loli noob. I can take on 10 of them by myself.] [In fact, this is a typical thing in other games. As soon as she talked, I knew.] [Ah? No. 1 little Jiejie is pretty good ah, isn¡¯t this just an in-game mistake¡­] [I just knew that straight guys would like No. 1¡¯s type. In reality, who knows how many voice changers have been turned on.] ¡°&#k2026; I¡¯m sorry.¡± No. 1¡¯s voice became much quieter, and contained a trace of caution. ¡°There¡¯s no need to save me.¡± ¡°I saw the person who sniped you.¡± The boy¡¯s voice was gentle, and he unhurriedly said, ¡°You should find a ce to hide. Hide behind the house ba, I¡¯ll be right there.¡± No. 1 was stunned. ¡°¡­ There¡¯s no need. What if you get sniped too¡­¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t say anything else, and the ck-skinned bald woman avatar, after several sounds of gunfire, rushed to her side, then stooped down to help her up. [Is the anchor interested in No. 1?] [Boring, boring.] [Can we finish it quickly ah? I don¡¯t want to hear that girl¡¯s voice, my ears are numb.] ¡°Don¡¯t say that, everyone.¡± Yu Yan noticed that the barrage had heated up, but he didn¡¯t mind and just softlyughed. Then, he redirected his attention back to the game and joked in a natural tone, ¡°A cute girl can be forgiven no matter what she does.¡± [¡­ The anchor¡¯sugh, it¡¯s kind of Sue-ish¡­] [He¡¯s right! It¡¯s just a game, but you guys are going to scold her until she cries. Are there so many keyboard warriors?] [¡­ It¡¯s actually a little flirty!!] [Leaving, boring.] ¡°¡­ Thank you.¡± No. 1 was revived and thanked him in a small voice. ¡°No problem.¡± Yu Yan nced at her hand. Very well-behaved. ¡°No. 1, the item in your hand looks so nice.¡± His tone was sincere. ¡°Can I grab it?¡± No.1 was stunned. She quickly reacted and directly threw the gun in her hands onto the ground. ¡°Yes, you take it and use it ba, anyway¡­ I can¡¯t use it.¡± M24, 8x scope and a sniper rifle suppressor. What kind of godly configuration was this? Yu Yan took aim with the gun after his hand had grabbed a hold of it. He smoothly found the enemy sniper¡¯s position, opened the scope and adjusted the position a bit. Bang¡ª [You killed diyijushen45 with an M24] ¡°All right.¡± He said, ¡°You can keep searching this area ba, I¡¯ll go over there and see what I can loot from him.¡± ¡°Wait.¡± No. 1 called out to him, ¡°I, I also have an extended quickdraw mag, do you want it?¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°¡­You found so many items in just three buildings?¡± ¡°Ah, no.¡± She was a bit embarrassed. ¡°I haven¡¯t finished searching through the third building yet.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan couldn¡¯t help but look at his SCAR-L, which he had only found after searching through four houses, and felt his heart ache a bit. With this powerful sniper rifle in his hand, Yu Yan specifically chose to search a high-rise building and took advantage of the people¡¯s surprise to collect three more kills. No. 2 realized that Yu Yan didn¡¯t seem to be following her wishes, so she was no longer as active as before. Lu Xiuhe said a few words to her, but shepletely disregarded him. Yu Yan waspletely oblivious to thispetition between the girls. Holding a SCAR-L and an M24, he became the most diligent cleaner in Pochinki. ¡°There¡¯s a team ahead, don¡¯t know how many people are left.¡± Yu Yan said. [How do you know? X-ray?] ¡°How do I know¡­ I watched them closely when they jumped. One of them was wearing a school uniform skirt and a ck coat¡­ and was also wearing a red scarf. I haven¡¯t looted this outfit yet, so what else could it be, if not another team?¡± Yu Yan said lightly, ¡°Me ba, I love money very much and kind of hate rich people, so I remembered him at the start.¡± In the game, after killing an enemy, you could take not only your dead enemy¡¯s equipment, but also their clothes. Yi Chen lightly tapped his index finger on the tabletop and couldn¡¯t helpughing a bit. He ended up closing the spreadsheet and leaned against the backrest of his chair to watch the livestream intently. [Too real.JPG] [No wonder Laozi is always the first to be killed, you little paupers!!!] The set of clothes that Yu Yan was talking about couldn¡¯t be bought in-game without paying a 5 figure sum. It was indeed a ¡°local tyrant outfit¡±. Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go.¡± As the two of them were hurrying to find the other team, they heard No. 1 ask in a whisper, ¡°Can I go search the next field area? ¡­ I think all the buildings in this area have been opened.¡± No. 2 seemed to be deliberately going against her. She specifically ran from one end of the street to the other and searched most of the houses near her. ¡°This city is so big, but you¡¯re not searching through it. Why do you have to run to the field to search? What are you going to do if you get killed over there? There¡¯s no one here to save you.¡± No. 2 coldly added, ¡°You just search wherever ba, anyway, you¡¯re just a sitting duck.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± It was only now that Yu Yan became aware of the belligerence brewing between the girls. He said, ¡°If someone shows up, you can call me again.¡± It wasn¡¯t that he wanted to speak out for No.1, he just thought that it was all just a game, so there was no need to be so aggressive. If No. 2 was the one being scolded instead, he would still help her in the same way. Then he asked, ¡°No. 2 little Jiejie, do you want a 98K? If you want it, I¡¯ll tell Lu Xiuhe to take it off and give it to you.¡± No. 2 paused, and finally, her tone rxed a bit. ¡°Coming.¡± Lu Xiuhe eximed, ¡°Holy shit, why don¡¯t you give your own M24?¡± ¡°Why, you don¡¯t want to?¡± ¡°¡­ Yes, of course, Laozi wants to!¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s voice lightened, ¡°No. 2 little Jiejie,e find me, and I¡¯ll toss it to you.¡± No. 1 mumbled, ¡°Then, I¡¯ll go.¡± After Yu Yan had settled things with the people here, No. 1 spoke into her mic again. ¡°Well, it seems that I¡­have managed to run into an airdrop.¡± Airdrops were an element of the game. Every so often, a ne would send an airdrop loot-box to a random destination, and contained within it were rare firearms and level three armor that wouldn¡¯t normally be found. The items in the airdrop were limited, firste first serve, and so, the ce where itnded would basically see waves of fierce battles. ¡°Really?¡± Yu Yan froze. He had just heard the sound of the ne, but he had been busy conquering the building and hadn¡¯t thought to go look. ¡°En, it seems that itnded here a long time ago, there¡¯s no red smoke.¡± No. 1 said, ¡°It¡¯s a big pineapple, do you want it?¡± The big pineapple, an M249, was a gun that could only be obtained from airdrops. It could hold 100 bullets, and had an effective fire rate and strong damage output. ¡°What kind of luck do you have¡­ I¡¯ming.¡± Yu Yan finished filling up his inventory andughed, ¡°With this, even if a cares, I can blow it up.¡± [This, damn it, did she just have the airdropped loot from the beginning? First, it was the nearly fully attached M24, and now it¡¯s the airdrop?] [I¡¯m afraid that No. 1 has some kind of item cheat software ba¡­] [Come on, with No. 1¡¯s skills, if she was using any cheat software, it would have to be an item cheat ah, hahaha.] [I keep thinking that No. 1¡¯s voice sounds very familiar¡­] Yu Yan did exactly what he said. Within ten minutes after he got the big pineapple, he immediately blew up a sports car trying to invade Pochinki. He kept the gun steady, and it was obvious that he was familiar with the car¡¯s speed. The bullets hit the person in the car from time to time, and green blood continuously spurted onto the screen. [You have eliminated HUMXIZ11 by detonating the vehicle] Yu Yan exited the scope, saw the doubtfulments in the barrage, snorted, and replied, ¡°Why didn¡¯t he jump out of the car? He didn¡¯t dare to jump out of the car. As soon as he came in my line of sight, I took out half his health. Jumping out of the car would result in guaranteed death. It¡¯s better to gamble on your luck to see if you can just rush through, so¡­ The second the sounds of the engine reached my ear, he was already a loot-box.¡± [¡­¡­¡­¡­ Awesome.] [666666 I think this anchor is going to get popr! I¡¯ve seen the viewer count climb from 100 to 7000 with my own eyes in just two days!!] Yu Yan looked up and saw that his stream had actually broken through to 7000 viewers. ¡­ But, he remembered that before the game had started, the viewer count in the stream had just been about to cross 4000, and he hadn¡¯t been rmended since then. How could there suddenly be an additional 3000 viewers? Before he could respond, the lines in the barrage suddenly increased¡ª¡ª [It¡¯s really TuanTuantuan¡¯s game ID!! How can you be here Tuantuan!!!] [¡­Tuantuan is actually ying games with other men, I¡¯m dead.] [Permitting Tuantuan to scram for me and get back to running her own livestream!!] [Someone said that there were some antis just now who seized the opportunity to nder my Tuan? If you have the ability,e out again? Do you need Daddy to teach you what proper barrage etiquette means?] Yu Yan: ¡°?¡± As soon as he wanted to ask, he saw that No. 1 little Jiejie, who had been running, suddenly stopped. After a while, the mic symbol lit up. ¡°How did you guys even find me here, don¡¯t spam the barrage, don¡¯t disturb this little Gege anchor.¡± The sweet girl¡¯s voice dropped two octaves, getting rid of the previous deliberate disguise. It sounded much more pleasant than the previous sickly sweet voice. ¡°I just clicked on the wrong stream. When I came in and saw the lottery, I just wanted to take part in it¡­ But as a result, I was chosen to y the game with this little Gege.¡± Yu Yan hadn¡¯t figured out the situation yet when Lu Xiuhe¡¯s QQ message popped up immediately. He thought about it and opened it on his cell phone. Your Great Lord Lu: Holy shit! This No. 1 is actually Tuantuan!! Yu Yan: ¡­Who¡¯s Tuantuan? Your Great Lord Lu: ??? Your Great Lord Lu: She¡¯s one of the top three female anchors in StarTV entertainment ah! You don¡¯t even know Tuantuan!! Bro, I¡¯m really looking down on you right now!!! ¡°Don¡¯t keep spamming the barrage, I¡¯ll start my livestream after I finish here.¡± The barrage was rolling too fast, and more and more people had entered the stream. No. 1 said, ¡°Little Gege, I¡¯m sorry ah, I¡¯ve caused you trouble.¡± Yu Yan went back to the game. ¡°¡­It¡¯s okay.¡± ¡°Little Gege seems to be a new anchor. He¡¯s very skilled and very kind-hearted, you guys will all seeter.¡± No. 1 continued, ¡°If you all think it¡¯s OK, you can follow this little Gege.¡± Yu Yan choked. Very kind-hearted?? Ever since this spectacle started, No. 2 had acted like her mic had broken and never spoke again. Thanks to Tuantuan¡¯s fans spreading the word, after the match, the number of viewers in Yu Yan¡¯s livestream had soared to 10,800. The interface shifted back to the game lobby, and Tuantuan said, ¡°Then, I¡¯ll go first, little Gege. If we have a chanceter, let¡¯s y again.¡± Yu Yan added her as an in-game friend. ¡°¡­.OK.¡± After Tuantuan left, the viewer count slowly fell to 10,000. Although it wasn¡¯t as high as it was during the match, Yu Yan couldn¡¯t be more satisfied. When he got up this morning, he had set himself a goal of 5000 viewers, and this was already far beyond that. He returned to his senses and continued to click on the lottery page. ¡°I¡¯ll keep my word, and I¡¯ll be drawing stream followers all day today. I¡¯ll use my main ount to carry them.¡± Yi Chen sat at hisputer desk and looked thoughtfully at the lottery page. His mind was still reying the scene of the little anchor exploding the car in the game. There was also the aggressive and arrogant tone of the little anchor after he had exploded the car, which was obviously a contemptuous tone that should give off a disagreeable feeling. ¡­ But it was actually pretty cute. Two minutester, Yi Chen opened up Steam, found the PUBG game, hesitated for a moment and then clicked the download button nearby. The author has something to say: Dingdong, your friend Yii11c is online. ¡ª Juurensha: So many ppl randomly clicking on yanyan¡¯s stream. Still, good for yanyan! Divi: Ready to carry the noob gong! Noks: Ohhhh¡­ Boss Yi is gonna y!!!! Chapter 8 - Bosses, be brave and dont charge money ah! Chapter 8 - Bosses, be brave and don¡¯t charge money ah! Edited by Divetus and Noks In the afternoon, Yi Chen went back to headquarters to hold a small meeting. When he came back, the game had finished downloading. He opened the game, casually filled in a game ID while registering, and then reflexively opened his bookmarked livestream page. ¡°Okay, it¡¯s six¡­ I¡¯ll go have dinner.¡± The voice of the little anchor soon rang out, ¡°I¡¯m going to go to a restaurant with rtives today, maye backte¡­ I¡¯ll try to start streaming again before eight.¡± After saying that, the livestream soon went offline. Yi Chen closed the web page, casually checked out the game controls, watched a few livestreams of how to y, and then thought he had already understood most of it. Wasn¡¯t it just picking up guns, killing people, and filling up your inventory? How could that not be easy? Until he entered the game. The ne roared loudly. He turned down the volume and decisively jumped down to the area that yanxyan usually jumped down to. A minuteter, he was still in the sky. Yi Chen frowned¡ªWas it usually this slow when the little anchor parachuted down? With a great deal of effort, he managed to navigate to the top of the city. But before he could even clearly see the city¡¯s distribution, sounds of continuous gunfire could be heard from below. Yi Chen controlled the mouse to steer his avatar as he was just about tond. Only to see an enemy standing on the roof of some house. Without even thinking about it, the enemy pointed his scope at him! Bang, bang¡ª¡ª The interface suddenly turned gray. Yi Chen hadn¡¯t even reacted yet when a line of words popped up on the screen¡ª Definitely will eat chicken next time!! ¡°¡­¡± He was killed by someone while in mid-air??? A rare nk expression appeared on his face, and he didn¡¯t close the notification for a long time. Looking back on the 26 years of Yi Chen¡¯s life, skipping grades was amon urrence. By thest year of school, his ssmates were all four years older than him. He then smoothly inherited the strongpany of his ancestors, and after controlling it for just a few years, the group had rapidly developed. He only took half a year to shut up all the old men. ¡ª¡ª In short, no matter what, he never had the word ¡°failure¡± used in his life, not even once. And now, he lost at the starting line?? No man could bear turning into a loot-box in such an awkward manner at the very beginning, so Yi Chen regained his usual expression and simply queued into another match. He changed his tactics and decided to jump to an area with fewer houses. This time, he finally had a chance to search for things. Who knew that after searching through a small field area and while on the way to a big house, the sound of continuous bombing suddenly started up around him. Immediately afterwards, on his map, the area surrounding him inexplicably turned red. He didn¡¯t have any time to respond, and BOOM¡ª the screen turned gray. ¡ª¡ª Definitely will eat chicken next time!! ¡°¡­.¡± He calmly opened a long, unused social app and out of the few friends on his list, clicked on the one with a duck sand sculpture for a profile picture. He screenshotted his screen and then sent it over. 1: No one shot anything, how did I die? Then, he instantly saw the ¡°typing¡± notification next to the other person¡¯s username. After a dy, he still never got a reply. Just as he was getting impatient, the phone beside his hand rang. ¡°Ge!¡± Yi Ran¡¯s voice was eager. ¡°Your QQ has been hacked! Have you put any important documents on it ah?¡± Yi Chen just felt a dull pain throb in his temples. ¡°I don¡¯t put files on social apps by otherpanies.¡± He said, ¡°Also, my QQ hasn¡¯t been hacked.¡± ¡°How could that be! You just sent me a screenshot of PUBG on Q¡­ ¡­ ¡± Yi Ran paused, then asked, ¡°¡­Ge, are you ying by yourself?¡± Three minutester. ¡°In your case, you were killed in the red zone.¡± Yi Ran exined, ¡°Random locations are marked in red and bombed.¡± However, the chance of being killed by a bomb wasn¡¯t that great. As long as you weren¡¯t too unlucky, you wouldn¡¯t get killed¡ª of course, he didn¡¯t dare to say that out loud. ¡°Ge, why didn¡¯t you tell me you started ying games? I¡¯ll take you with me to y ah! I¡¯m very strong!¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t really believe his cousin. ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Really, would I dare to deceive you? I¡¯ve been ying this game for half a year.¡± Yi Ran said, ¡°I just happen to be ying right now. Send me your game ID, and I¡¯ll add you.¡± Of course, he knew that Yi Ran was ying this game. Every few days, he would see the screenshots of PUBG that Yi Ran sent to his friend circle, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t choose to ask him. Yi Chen hesitated for a moment but still sent his ID over to him. Soon, the two entered the game lobby. Yi Ran said, ¡°Ge, you¡¯re so poorly dressed. Shall we start after I buy you an outfit ba?¡± Yi Chen looked at Yi Ran¡¯s in-game character. Red scarf, jeans, ck coat. ¡­ A familiar outfit. ¡°No need.¡± He said, ¡°Start.¡± Yi Ran queued for a duo match. Before Yi Chen could ask, he exined, ¡°Ge, when you jump, press and hold W to descend faster. Let¡¯s jump to North Georgopol ba, there¡¯s not many people and a lot of houses, it¡¯ll be a bit safer.¡± ¡°En.¡± This time, he finally jumped down smoothly. He looked around and saw three teams around, including theirs. There really weren¡¯t many people. ¡°Ge, feel free to search the houses and run away when you hear footsteps.¡± Yi Rancently said, ¡°After I kill all the people, you cane out and loot them.¡± Yi Chen ignored him and entered the house by himself. A burst of gunfire sounded, and his teammate¡¯s health bar in the lower left corner of the screen suddenly went dark. Yi Ran eximed, ¡°¡­ Holy shit, they ambushed me¡ª¡± Yi Chen had only just entered the first room. ¡°Are you dead?¡± ¡°A mistake, it was a mistake!¡± Yi Ran pleaded, ¡°That personnded on the balcony of the second floor and never moved from the room. As a result, I was ambushed!¡± Three minutester, Yi Chen died from a grenade. Yi Ran said, ¡°Another match, Ge, I will definitely do well.¡± In the second match, Yi Ran jumped to Pochinki to prove himself. Yet, as a result, they prematurely died again as soon as theynded. ¡°Ge, a mistake, it¡¯s a mistake! I couldn¡¯t find a gun!¡± Yi Ran¡¯s voice had weakened. ¡°Let¡¯s go again, and this time we¡¯ll go to the wilderness area.¡± In the third match, the two of them finally managed to survive for ten minutes. But in the end, on the way to the next wilderness area, Yi Ran was shot dead with a headshot. Fourth match, fifth match, sixth match¡­ Don¡¯t mention winning, Yi Chen basically couldn¡¯t even walk out of the parachutending area alive. It seemed that they were unlucky, for even when they jumped into the wilderness area, there were always one or two teams right behind them. Yi Ran meekly said, ¡°Ge¡­¡± Yi Chen asked, ¡°yed for half a year? Very strong?¡± ¡°This is just bad luck¡­¡± Yi Ran said, ¡°Really, I¡¯m usually not like this¡ª you think I would dare to deceive you?¡± ¡°It¡¯s true you don¡¯t dare to deceive me.¡± Yi Chen said coldly, ¡°You just don¡¯t have any self-knowledge.¡± ¡ª Yu Minyang grabbed another piece of fish for his nephew. ¡°Eat some fish, don¡¯t just eat vegetables, or you¡¯ll be short on nutrition.¡± ¡°Thank you, Uncle.¡± ¡°Xiao Yan ah.¡± The middle-aged woman sitting opposite from him smiled kindly. ¡°Auntie is saying, think things through carefully. I ya, don¡¯t know many big words, but I¡¯m pretty good at cooking. If you¡¯re willing to move in, I will make you something you like to eat every day, and won¡¯t wrong you.¡± This was Yu Minyang¡¯s tactic. Seeing that he couldn¡¯t move his nephew himself, he turned around and specifically brought in reinforcements. It was a pity that after talking for half an hour, Yu Yan was stillpletely indifferent. ¡°No need, Auntie.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°It¡¯s convenient for me to live by myself. You guys don¡¯t have to worry about me, really.¡± Finally, after surviving the meal, and having eaten and drunk his fill, Yu Yan got up, taking the lead in grabbing the bill and prepared to go pay at the front desk. Yu Minyang saw this and quickly wanted to stop him. ¡°Xiao Yan, you put the bill down, Uncle will pay.¡± ¡°Uncle, we said it was going to be my treat tonight.¡± Yu Yan smiled. ¡°If you¡¯re deliberately being dishonest, I might note next time ah.¡± Looking at the back of the boy as he was leaving, the middle-aged woman sighed, ¡°You were right, your little nephew is really very well-behaved. Since he won¡¯te with us, let¡¯s just let it go. Worstes to worst, every once in awhile I¡¯ll cook some tonic soup and send it to him.¡± Yu Minyang held his wife¡¯s hand. This time, he finally gave up on the idea of letting Yu Yan move into his home. ¡°¡­ En, it¡¯s been tough on you.¡± The restaurant they hade to was a ce that Yu Minyang frequented. It was a small restaurant with inexpensive dishes. Yu Yan stood at the front desk and watched the cashier ck on his calctor. ¡°250.¡± It really was such a lucky number. If he calcted it, this number was the same as the ie he had gotten from the little star that Boss 1 had sent that day. 50% of 500 yuan, a total of 250 yuan for him. Paying this bill wasn¡¯t painful at all. After paying the bill and saying goodbye to his uncle and aunt, Yu Yan hurried home. He logged onto his livestream ount, saw the single friend on his list, and then suddenly remembered something. yanxyan: You there? Administrator 03: Yes, what can I do for you? yanxyan: How was my previous report handled? Administrator 03: ¡­. Administrator 03: We investigated, he didn¡¯t vite the rules. yanxyan: Are you sure? Have you seen the livestream recording?? Administrator 03: Yes. yanxyan: Then, did you suspend his stream? Administrator 03: This anchor has been livestreaming all day. It¡¯s inconvenient for us to suspend it. We got the entire recording from enthusiastic fans. yanxyan: I was there and heard him attacking me in his livestream. Administrator 03: Maybe you remembered it wrong ba. He would be damned if he had remembered it wrong. Looking at the perfunctory tone of the other party, he understood that, from the start, the administrator had had no intention of managing the situation at all. Then, why did he suspend his stream at that time? Although it hadn¡¯t affected his livestream, after careful consideration, he still felt ufortable about it. Unfortunately, feeling ufortable about it was of no use. He had no way to challenge the administrator yet. He didn¡¯t want to upset himself. For fear of affecting the quality of his livestream in a bit, he directly closed the chat box and started the livestream. Looking down at the time, it was 7:42, so in the end, he had managed toe back before 8:00. Although he had only been away for a little more than an hour, most of his viewers had left, leaving only a little over a 100 viewers just hanging around the livestream. However, his follower count was very high. With today¡¯s promise to take stream followers along with him, more than a 1000 people came in just after the livestream restarted. [Hurry, hurry, hurry, take advantage of theck of people now, anchor start the lottery quickly!] [Speedily, don¡¯t dally!!] [The anchor always manages to match up with girls. Whoever gets drawn isn¡¯t just getting carried to eat chicken, but also may get to y games with random girls!!] ¡°Don¡¯t worry, wait for me to open the game.¡± Yu Yan stared at the barrage while opening the game, and his gaze was soon attracted by one sentence. [For this livestream, how many stars do we need to send to get a moderator¡¯s position and vest? Can you jump the line when you have a vest?] Yu Yan didn¡¯t understand. He took a screenshot and asked Lu Xiuhe what it meant. Your Great Lord Lu: They¡¯re asking you how many gifts they have to send in order to get a moderator¡¯s position and vest on their ount. One starlight = one yuan. You don¡¯t even know such a routine thing? Jumping the line means that you don¡¯t need to take part in the lottery; as long as you¡¯re taking stream followers with you, he can jump the line and join you. Many of the livestreams offer moderator vests for 2000 yuan worth of gifts. Yu Yan: It¡¯s like that¡­ Got it. He switched back to the stream and nced at the chat box. ¡°Boss, here it¡¯s 2000 yuan to be a moderator, and once you be a moderator, you can jump the line.¡± The conversation between him and Lu Xiuhe hadn¡¯t been concealed, and the audience could see it all clearly. [These stinking rules, depriving me of the fun of a lottery!!] [Bosses, be brave and don¡¯t charge money ah! Wepete fairly ah!!!] [Hahaha, that ID ran away after asking!!] [Make some waves and then run, that really is a man.] Yu Yan alsoughed. Getting gifts would be the best, but he also wouldn¡¯t be upset if he didn¡¯t get any. After all, from the beginning, he was going to depend on StarTV¡¯s base sry and bonus. He opened the lottery page. ¡°Old rules, drawing two stream followers¡­¡± Before he finished speaking, hisputer screen suddenly twinkled with bits of starlight, and an extremely exaggerated meteor effect flew over the top of the screen, followed by a line of colorful words¡ª¡ª [1 has sent a meteor shower to yanxyan¡¯s livestream, and 50 star boxes will randomly be dropped in the stream!] ¡ª Juurensha: Hahaha, Boss Yi just mming the gift key because he needs so much help ying the game. Divi: LMAO, when Boss Yi can just abuse his tform to get in line to a pro¡¯s carry. SMH. Can Yanyan carry the absolute noob with no luck? Noks: Can¡¯t wait for Yanyan¡¯s PUBG game-ying lessons for Boss Yi to start!!! Chapter 9 - I will be online at 8:00 pm the day after tomorrow. Chapter 9 - I will be online at 8:00 pm the day after tomorrow. Edited by Divetus and Noks Yu Yan was stunned for what seemed like forever. He only snapped out of it when the special effect disappeared and the screen disyed the moving barrage again. [Boss is so generous!] [Boss, you please go first.] 1 had sent a ¡°meteor shower¡± gift worth a whole 2000 yuan. Due to the high price, the ¡°meteor shower¡± would not only give Yu Yan benefits, but also carried another bonus buff¡ª for the entire stream, the anchor who received the gift would also have 50 star boxes raining down in their livestream. The star boxes contained experience points and free gifts, and lucky people could also win money worth up to 50 yuan. It was one of the best tricks to attract an audience. Soon, a lot of viewers came in, and the whole screen was filled with ¡°Boss is so generous¡±. [What is the anchor doing, quickly dress the bossah!] Yu Yan let out a soft ¡°ah¡± sound, ¡°Doing it now¡­¡± As a result of the gift, 1¡¯s ount name had appeared on the livestream¡¯s list of ¡°star emissaries¡±. It was at the top of the list, which saved Yu Yan from having to look for him among the thousands of viewer names. Beside 1¡¯s username was the initial default small star badge set by the system. He right-clicked on 1¡¯s avatar picture, but there wasn¡¯t an option to give his ount the stream moderator status. He clicked open the ount information, but there still wasn¡¯t an option there either. He then consulted his stream moderator, but the moderator simply didn¡¯t reply. After being nagged and pressured for a long time by the barrage about 1, Yu Yan was influenced and felt an unexinable irritation stem from the bottom of his heart. In a very low voice, he said, ¡°Wait a moment, it¡¯s my first time doing this, I¡¯ll go ask¡­¡± [1: Don¡¯t worry, take your time.] Yu Yan was a little relieved. He had wanted to say something else when the built-in livestream chat-box lit up. The stream moderator hade inte and had finally replied. ¡°Sorry, I just went to the bathroom¡­ To appoint moderators, you need to go to your broadcasting settings. Click open the livestream settings and there you¡¯ll find a section for stream moderators. You can then enter the ount ID to appoint them as a moderator.¡± ¡°By the way, your anchor level isn¡¯t that high right now, so you can only add 10 moderators. When you get to level 15, you can increase the cap.¡± yanxyan: Okay, no problem. Ten is enough, I can¡¯t even fill all of those. Stream Moderator 012: Hahaha, don¡¯t belittle yourself, I believe in you oh~ [Holy shit, why do I feel like even this anchor¡¯s stream moderator is a girl?] [Isn¡¯t it a normal thing for girls to be stream moderators? In other little anchors¡¯ livestreams, they use their stream moderators for flirting.] [Yes, yes, yes, I¡¯ve even seen a lot of anchors who pull their stream moderators onto the mic to act cute!] [Stream Mod little Jiejie, are you there? Add me on WeChat. Are you there? Show some photos. Stream Mod little Jiejie, chat a bit ah, are you there?] ¡°Stop talking nonsense, everyone ah.¡± Yu Yan opened the broadcasting settings and inputted 1¡¯s ID. ¡°Don¡¯t take liberties with my stream moderator.¡± The stream mod little Jiejie at the other end immediately blushed. She was a new stream moderator, and yanxyan was the first anchor that she was in charge of. She had thought that she would have a pretty rxed job, but unexpectedly, this new anchor was very strong. Just two days after the start of the stream, the viewer count had broken five figures. She was so scared that she only dared to silence, ban, and kick people out of the stream, and didn¡¯t dare to speak publicly. Moreover, this anchor¡¯s livestream was actually really fun to watch, and his voice was very gentle and pleasant. She often watched it and had be enthralled by it. Yu Yan didn¡¯t think too much about it. As soon as the moderator position was assigned, 1¡¯s badge immediately turned yellow. ¡°All done.¡± Yu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and switched back to the game interface. Lu Xiuhe had changed his avatar¡¯s outfit while Yu Yan was doing the moderator stuff. ¡°Everything¡¯s good now?¡± Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°Start bei, if you still don¡¯t start, I won¡¯t be able to resist buying two more outfits.¡± ¡°That¡¯s alright, you¡¯ll stop when you don¡¯t have any more money.¡± Yu Yan paused for a bit, ¡°1¡­ Is Bossing with us to eat chicken?¡± He had already asked this question several times previously, but the other side had refused every time. Later, Lu Xiuhe privately told him that this boss was probably a cloud yer, someone who didn¡¯t actually y the game but only enjoyed watching livestreams. At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of a keyboard tapping away. Then, a line appeared in the barrage positioned at the top of the screen. Since he was a moderator, there was a small yellow outfit behind his name, which was very eye-catching. [1: En.] Since he thought that Lu Xiuhe hadn¡¯t turned off his mic properly, Yu Yan didn¡¯t really pay attention. He immediately said, ¡°Okay, send me your ID.¡± [Boss, please send your ID on the public screen immediately.] [Turned on the ¡®add friends¡¯ button.] [If Boss lets me be a friend. I¡¯m willing to bear all hardships withoutint, I can blow and lick anything!] ¡¾1£ºYii11c¡¿ After adding him as a friend, Yu Yan quickly sent out a team invite to him. Then, the man with the yellow mod badge appeared by his side in the game, wearing the initial default outfit. [Boss, this outfit doesn¡¯t match your temperament ah.] [Boss is a new yer ba? Get to know Steam¡¯s marketce a bit.] When he saw him arrive, Lu Xiuhe immediately opened his mic, and his tone was veryckey-like. ¡°Hello boss.¡± It was a pity that the other side didn¡¯t even show the smallest tremor of movement. The game character stood there quietly, and the microphone next to his name didn¡¯t light up. ¡°Then, drawing another stream follower.¡± Seeing that this boss didn¡¯t want to talk much, Yu Yan changed the topic, ¡°Okay, if you type a message in the barrage, you can participate in the lottery.¡± Two minutester, the stream follower that had been drawn also quickly entered the game lobby. Although everyone types happily in the barrage, most people be shy once they switch to the voice channel. Lu Xiuhe yelled out, ¡°Hey, I¡¯m familiar with this ID. It¡¯s that bro who just said he was willing to bear all hardships withoutint, and can lick and blow whatever¡ª¡± The stream follower¡¯s mic lit up several times, but a voice only sounded out from it after a long dy. ¡°¡­ That was my cousin ying with theputer.¡± Lu Xiuhe replied, ¡°OK, I understand bro.¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t say much and just went straight into the game. When parachuting, he specifically checked in on how 1 was doing. Sure enough, after 1¡¯s characternded, he slowly walked over to a house and took two seconds to open the door. They had jumped to Primorsk for this match, and some people were present here, but not too many, so Yu Yan had some breathing room to say, ¡°That¡­ 1, you can move faster by pressing the = key or holding down the left shift button when moving with the W key. A big house usually has more supplies than a small house. If there¡¯s no one around, you can loot a big house and call me when you hear footsteps.¡± The other side still didn¡¯t speak, but seeing that he went straight into a big house, Yu Yan guessed that he had heard him. Yi Chen sat in front of theputer with his fingers pressing down on the keyboard. Next to the mouse was a report that he had already finished reading. His face was calm. He wasn¡¯t sure if it was because of the change in teammates, but he actually felt that ying had be a lot easier. Of course, that was only whenpared to his previous experience. Just previously, he had yed with Yi Ran for more than an hour, and the two of them had repeatedly kept parachuting, parachuting, and parachuting¡­ In the end, he had even suspected that he had actually bought a parachuting game. It had to be said that it was really easy for this game to affect people¡¯s emotions¡ª for example, after he had turned into a loot-box afternding for the sixth time, he had even wanted to take back the car he had given Yi Ran at the beginning of the year. Looking back at his life prior to this, there had never been a moment when he had thought about taking back what he had already given away. Just when he had searched up to the second floor, the sound of soft footsteps entered his ears. Yi Chen¡¯s looting actions froze. Immediately, two shots rang out, and he could instantly tell that it wasn¡¯t far from him. Yi Chen looked at the window beside him and wondered if he would lose some health if he jumped from there. It wasn¡¯t that he was a wuss, but it was just that he only had a frying pan on-hand, and didn¡¯t have the resources to fight anyone off. Just as he walked to the window, his ear suddenly reverberated with the voice of the small anchor. ¡°There was a gunshot¡­ 1, at your ce?¡± Yu Yan was carrying an UZI and reloaded it. ¡°I¡¯ming.¡± Yi Chen held the pan at ready, not motionless, but also not quite moving. He thought about just rushing out with the pan. Maybe he could hit someone and contribute a kill. In just the ten seconds of his hesitation, Yu Yan had already arrived in front of the house he was situated in. Yu Yan said, ¡°I see him.¡± The two people, who had been duking it out before, already had a victor. As soon as the winner had begun to loot, he heard Yu Yan¡¯s footsteps. He quickly hid behind the wall and didn¡¯t show his head, carefully looking for the owner of the footsteps. Yu Yan stood at the other side of the house for a while. Seeing that the other party didn¡¯t want toe out, he suddenly said, ¡°Forget it.¡± Just when the viewers thought he was going to go for it, he suddenly stepped back, raised his gun and fired it twice, directly at the wall in front of him¡ª¡ª [???] [Pressed the wrong button??] [It¡¯s over, exposed¡­] After firing the gun, he even moved two steps forward,ing into the other party¡¯s sight. The other party quickly opened a scope, but unfortunately for him, Yu Yan had already retreated, and all of his bullets hit the wall. It seemed that the other party wasn¡¯t satisfied, and after a few seconds, the other party peeked his head out again¡ª¡ª Yu Yan seized the moment, peeked right at once, looked down his sight to aim, and directly shot at him! [You knocked down wohkzaaa with an UZI] He went up to the person to finish him off and said slowly, ¡°Who knows how long it would¡¯ve taken if I had let hime find me, it¡¯s better to just personally tell him.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a SCAR-L here, 1. If you want it, you cane downstairs to loot it, I left some ammo.¡± [¡­ I can only type 66666.] [Holy shit, the anchor still looks down his sight to aim when using an UZI. What¡¯s the difference between an UZI¡¯s sight and just shooting blindly!] [That¡¯s why he¡¯s the anchor, and you¡¯re not.] By the time Yi Chen came downstairs, Yu Yan had already run far away. He stepped forward to see that his team member hadn¡¯t only left a gun, but also a red dot sight and a sh hider. There was also a first aid kit beside it. The four of them smoothly entered the third circle. ¡°It¡¯s such a small circle, and there are still 40 people left?¡± Lu Xiuhe said in surprise, ¡°Then, that basically means having to fight every two steps.¡± Yu Yan added, ¡°On the plus side, there shouldn¡¯t be any immortals in this match.¡± Lu Xiuhe responded, ¡°¡­ Alright ba.¡± Within ten seconds of this conversation, there was a sudden burst of gunfire. Before he knew it, Yi Chen had been shot twice, and his health bar turned red. Yu Yan reacted faster than him, shooting and yelling out, ¡°Voldemort at 75!¡± Yi Chen quickly recovered and reflexively shot at the grass at 75 degrees¡ª¡ª [You knocked down Bespin with a SCAR-L] When this line of small characters appeared at the bottom of the screen, Yi Chen¡¯s face showed a rare dazed expression. This was the first time he had sessfully struck down an enemy in the game. Although he had been assisted by his teammate, and the duration of the fight didn¡¯t even exceed ten seconds, he still felt excited. He went up, opened the enemy¡¯s inventory and looted all the essories, recing the SCAR-L he was holding with a fully-loaded M416. He also reced his secondary gun with a 98K. Under Yu Yan¡¯s leadership, the four of them fought all the way to the final circle. The four of them were all lying prone on the ground. The number of survivors showed that only a lone wolf was left. Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid he¡¯s wearing a Ghillie Suitba, or else, why haven¡¯t we found him after so long?¡± As he finished saying that, a phone¡¯s ringtone sounded in their headsets. Yi Chen nced at the caller ID and immediately hung the call up without even thinking about it. Yu Yan said, ¡°Lu Xiuhe, don¡¯t just freely turn on your mic.¡± Lu Xiuhe paused. ¡°I didn¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°Shh.¡± Afraid of not hearing other sounds, Yu Yan interrupted him, ¡°Don¡¯t talk.¡± Lu Xiuhe: ¡°¡­¡± After scrutinizing the grass for so long, Yi Chen felt that his eyes were aching. He just went and found a tree to hide behind and rest. Then, he remembered that he hadn¡¯t used the 8x scope that he had picked up before, so he simply attached it to the 98K and opened the scope¡ª¡ª A big man suddenly appeared in his scope, with his head positioned just there, undisguised. The man¡¯s cheek was covered with green grass, and he was indeed wearing the Ghillie suit. Yi Chen paused, instinctively pressed the mouse, and then a heavy and beautiful gunshot sounded out, its echosting for a long time. [You killed 113selss with a 98K] After a few seconds, the screen turned gray. [Big Fortune and Great Delight, you¡¯re eating chicken tonight!] Lu Xiuhe eximed, ¡°Holy shit! Boss is mighty! Boss is awesome!¡± Yi Chen looked at the gray interface and it was only after a long time that he could tear his sight away from it. The cellphone next to him rang again. Since he had previously muted it, it was just vibrating. The caller ID showed that it was an old executive of thepany calling. ¡°I¡¯m ashamed. The boss gave me money and still took me to eat chicken.¡± The little anchor said in his headset, ¡°Continuing on ba, going to draw another follower. Is Boss still ying?¡± Yu Yan finished talking, and after a while, the sound of typing on the keyboard began again. [1: y.] [1 has sent a meteor shower to yanxyan¡¯s livestream, and 50 star boxes will be dropped randomly in the stream!] Yu Yan froze. [???] [What the hell?? Sent again???] [Boss is so generous!] Yu Yan said, ¡°No¡­ 1, sending it once is enough to be a moderator, you can jump the lottery line at any time in the future.¡± However, before he could react further, the chat-box located in the lower right corner of the screen suddenly lit up. It was a private chat. [1 whispered to you: I will be online at 8:00 pm the day after tomorrow.] [You whispered to 1: ¡­.?] [Sending failed, the opposite party is offline.] Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Aw, Boss Yi managed to get his first kill! Divi: Wow, Boss Yi killed 2 people after ying with Yanyan, good job! His cousin is going to never live it down. Noks: Man, the thrill you get reading about the two kills!!! Especially after he spent quite a few rounds just parachuting and acting as a lootbox¡­ xD Chapter 10 - I’m too noob, so I won’t pick it up Chapter 10 - I¡¯m too noob, so I won¡¯t pick it up Edited by Divetus and Noks After sending the message, Yi Chen gently moved the mouse, clicked the red x at the top right of the webpage, shut down theputer and exhaled. Then, he got up and walked to the French windows that overlooked a myriad of city lights, and unhurriedly answered his phone. ¡°En.¡± ¡°Yi Chen.¡± The voice of the old man at the other end wasn¡¯t happy. ¡°How could you only answer the phone now?¡± Yi Chen¡¯s lips pulled down, and his eyes flickered with impatience, but his tone was as usual. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Seeing that the other party didn¡¯t greet him, the old man took a few deep breaths before continuing, ¡°When are you free? Let¡¯s meet up ¡ª your grandfather made an agreement with me four years ago to let me undertake the Xu River project. How could you suddenly change the project leader without discussing this with me in advance?!¡± ¡°Uncle Chen,¡± Yi Chen smiled. ¡°You said it yourself, that was what my grandfather promised. Naturally, you should seek him out for an exnation. I¡¯m afraid nothing will change if you meet with me.¡± ¡°You!¡± The other party was so angry he nearly spit out blood. Old man Yi passed away three years ago. Telling him to go seek out old man Yi for help, wasn¡¯t that just cursing him?! ¡°Yi Chen, what do you mean by that!¡± Yi Chen heard the other party¡¯s heavy breathing and only then, gradually, withdrew his smile. He felt that he had seeded in angering him enough and said, ¡°Eight o¡¯clock Sunday morning, Mingguang Hotel.¡± Hanging up the phone, the man pressed on a remote control, and the curtains slowly closed. He took his shirt off with one hand, and his well-built physique was exposed to the air, the lines of his muscles rising and falling slightly with his breath. Seemingly thinking of something, he stopped walking and unlocked his cellphone. As thergest livestream tform, StarTV naturally had an app. ¡°Ding¡ª¡± After the sound of the download prompt rang out, he tossed his cellphone aside, grabbed a bathrobe, and turned around to enter the bathroom. ¡ª¡ª There were two knocks on the door. The man sitting in the boss¡¯ chair didn¡¯t lift his head and indifferently said, ¡°Scram.¡± There was only one person who dared to knock on his office door without anyone notifying him beforehand. Unfortunately, the door opened faster than he could say scram. A boy wearing casual clothes and sneakers worth tens of thousands of yuan grinned and came in carrying a ball. ¡°Ge, I¡¯ve missed you unbearably so!¡± As if ustomed to receiving this kind of attitude from the other person, Yi Chen turned the page over and quickly signed his name on the document with a pen. In a careless tone, he asked, ¡°What?¡± Yi Ran clicked his tongue, quickly walked to his desk, and fawned upon him as he said, ¡°Ge, since I¡¯ming over to your house to eat soon, I thought I would travel there with you.¡± ¡°Do you not have a car?¡± ¡°Have one ah, and it¡¯s the one you gave me!¡± As he mentioned this, Yi Chen¡¯s index finger and thumb closed together, and he couldn¡¯t help rubbing them against each other. ¡°Then, are your legs broken?¡± Yi Ran said, ¡°Aiya, Ge¡­¡± ¡°Say it ba.¡± Yi Chen closed the document and threw it aside. ¡°What did youe to find me for?¡± Yi Ran was surprised and thought that his cousin had mind-reading abilities. But it didn¡¯t matter. Seeing that the other side had already uncovered his purpose, he no longer talked in circles. He just threw the ball to the ground, pouted, and started to pour out his woes. ¡°Ge, quickly save me! My dad froze all my cards and took away all my car keys while I was sleeping!¡± ¡°I¡¯m now living in a friend¡¯s house. It has a little over 100 square meters, and it¡¯s nearly full after just putting down two beds¡­ I only have 40 yuan in cash on me, and I can¡¯t even buy a meal to eat¨C¡± ¡°What have you done?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything ah.¡± Yi Ran sighed, ¡°I, I just participated in a few car races.¡± Yi Chen sneered. ¡°Then, you¡¯ve done well for yourself.¡± ¡°It was just&#k2026; casually ying, not trying to win at all costs, there was no prize and the mountain we went to was safe, not steep&#k2026;¡± Yi Ran continued, ¡°Ge, if you lend me some money, I¡¯ll definitely return it to youter!¡± ¡°If you go home now, you won¡¯t have to borrow it from me.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t go back.¡± Yi Ran seemed to have thought of something, and his eyebrows drew together tightly. ¡°The old man keeps bringing that woman back recently. I won¡¯t go back even if I¡¯m beaten to death this time!¡± As he remembered the young woman that his uncle had recently been kicking up a fuss to get married to, Yi Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. After a long pause, he asked, ¡°How much do you want?¡± Yi Ran was pleased. ¡°One¡­ Two million?¡± ¡°One million, I¡¯ll get someone to give you a cardter.¡± Yi Ran was so extremely moved that he felt like the man in front of him had bursts of gold light shining out from behind him. ¡°Ge, you¡¯re truly like my real Ge! I tell you what ba, call me whenever you want to y PUBG again. I¡¯ll bepletely at your beck and call!¡± Yi Chen finally raised his eyes and sneered again. ¡°I¡¯ve thought about it again, and you had just better starve to death ba.¡± ¡ª ¡°Did he really say that?¡± Lu Xiuhe asked indistinctly as he slurped up a big bite of noodles. ¡°En.¡± Yu Yan put some chilli peppers in the noodles, and stirred them to spread out the heat with his movements. ¡°That means he wants me to save him a spot, right?¡± ¡°It should be ba¡­The Boss is the Boss, even his way of speaking is different from others!¡± Lu Xiuhe, who was still eating, suddenly thought of something. He leaned over and lowered his voice. ¡°Ah! Xiao Yan, I heard ah, that QM Gaming is currently hiring.¡± Yu Yan continued eating, and the spiciness of the noodles circted in his mouth, making him sniffle constantly. ¡°So what?¡± ¡°So what? I¡¯m talking about QM, not the other team I mentioned before¡­ who were they, aiya, I forgot that team¡¯s name. QM though, is a formal team. Their domestic PUBG branch team¡¯s strength? It¡¯s in the top three in the country. This year, QM is going to participate in the internationalpetition!¡± Yu Yan nodded. ¡°That¡¯s quite powerful¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯re still eating. Do you really understand what I¡¯m saying, daddy?¡± ¡°Ah, what do you mean?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe waspletely exasperated with him. ¡°You should go apply for it ah! Do you know how much money professional yers make nowadays?!¡± ¡°I won¡¯t.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Yu Yan drank a big mouthful of soup and only responded after a long time. ¡°No reason¡­ The noodle soup here is still so delicious.¡± He hadn¡¯t gotten up at seven in the morning to take a bus over here in vain. Lu Xiuhe: ¡°¡­¡± After he had his fill of food and drink, Yu Yan got up and paid. While exiting the shop, Lu Xiuhe looked at the time. ¡°There¡¯s still a little time left before you need to get back and start streaming. Want to go to the Inte bar and y for a bit?¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s family¡¯s Inte bar was just opposite the breakfast shop. Before he had bought aputer, Yu Yan had practically nted himself there every single day. Later, his superb game-y had attracted onlookers every time and resulted in him attracting more business for the Inte bar, so Boss Lu didn¡¯t charge him an Inte fee anymore. ¡°Not going, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll lose track of time while ying.¡± Yu Yan was carrying a stic bag in his hand. ¡°I¡¯ll deliver breakfast to Boss Lu and then leave.¡± It was fortunate that Yu Yan hadn¡¯t stayed, since he ran into a car ident on his way home. It was a chain ident involving four cars. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured, but it was very troublesome to tow the cars. Four injured people stood at the side of the road and even quarreled for a long time, resulting in the entire street being gridlocked. The other cars on the road were so jam-packed that even water couldn¡¯t flow through, and everyone felt troubled. When he got home, he removed the clothes that he had ced into the washing machine prior to leaving and hung them on the balcony to dry before he started his livestream. [Anchor is so early. Are you going to draw stream followers today too?] ¡°Not going to draw any,¡± Yu Yanughed, ¡°Today, I¡¯m going to y some solo matches.¡± Last night, after Boss 1 left, he had drawn several rounds of followers again, but the end results weren¡¯t very good. They were all new yers who didn¡¯t really know how to y. If they had acted just like1 did, not talking and obediently following closely behind, then it would¡¯ve been fine. Unfortunately, they were all very stubborn yers, who didn¡¯t know how to y. After a few matches, he was constantly just saving someone or on the way to save someone. No matter how good his temper was, getting repeatedly trampled on all night made his mood somewhat unstable. Since he was ying solos and he didn¡¯t want to spend too much time searching for items, he directly chose Sanhok. At present, PUBG had three maps: Erangel, Miramar, and Sanhok. Erangel was amon map, in fact, it was actually the map that most yers chose. The map was big, easy to hide in and theplex terrain offered yers many kinds of fighting strategies. Because there were many open fields along with shelters to avoid battle in, this map was more newbie-friendly. Miramar required high yer skill levels. It had very few and very scattered houses, and very little supplies were avable in the open desert. Since this map was a desert, it had no thick grass and very few shelters, it could be regarded as the Voldemort¡¯s nemesis. The ystyle offered by the Sanhok map was even more direct and simple. It was extremely rich in resources; a gun was nearly guaranteed in every house. The map was also smaller and more time-efficient. Basically, after running for just a bit, you would hear gunfire. As soon as Sanhok was released, it immediately reced Miramar in Yu Yan¡¯s heart. For no other reason except that when you¡¯re surrounded by people, you can just open a door to get a gun in this map; it was so friendly to him, an unlucky yer¡­ Speaking of which, Yu Yan jumped to Bootcamp, the area where the most intense gunfights on the map took ce. Yu Yannded on a building¡¯s roof, turned to open the door beside him and saw a gun. Only¡­ It was a VSS. As far as the eye could see, this was the only gun in the ce. The VSS. This was a sniper rifle that naturally came with a 4x scope and a silencer. This brief introduction could just make people drool over it. Unfortunately, if the developers opened a door for you, the window must also be closed. To make a long story short, it¡¯s¡ª¡ª I¡¯m a VSS, I have a 4x scope and a silencer, but also have low damage, low muzzle velocity, heavy bullet drop and can¡¯t hit things. [Today, the anchor still can¡¯t catch a break¡­] [Call Miss Tuan Tuan!!] [Search the next building.] [This gun wastes my time whenever I reload it.] Yu Yan didn¡¯t even think about it before picking it up and loading it. ¡°They¡¯re all guns. Why divide them into high or low grades?¡± After that, he crouched by the window, opened a scope towards the opposite roof, and sessfully caught sight of an enemy, who, like him, was crouching behind the pir searching for people. Without even thinking about it, ¡®bang bang¡¯ went his gun¡ª¡ª Several rounds hit. The other side sputtered out some green blood, but they were still healthy and not dead. Yu Yan was just getting ready to make further shots, but the enemy had already retreated to bandage themselves up. Yu Yan eximed, ¡°Got directly hit so many times but still didn¡¯t die¡­? I knew the damage was low, but I didn¡¯t expect it to be this low. Has this been updated?¡± He closed the scope and waited for the other side to peek again. It wasn¡¯t long before the enemy appeared and fired a shot at him. The sound was heavy, just like the sound of a cannon. It was the sound of an M24. Fortunately, the shot hit the wall. Yu Yan immediately opened the scope and once again, hit them twice, but the other side was unwilling to be outdone. The two of them began to vigorously and energetically snipe at each other, therge-scale fire of war epassing them. When Yu Yan ran out of ammo and was ready to retreat, he only heard¡ª bang. A line of white words jumped out and then the screen grayed out. [IPZZZZZZZ killed you with an M24] [It¡¯s as if I saw a Rolls Royce and an Aima electric scooter collide.] [It took one minute and 27 seconds. The anchor directly hit the other side eight times. However, the other side only shot the anchor once, and the anchor died on the spot.] Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± He silently closed the match screen. For the next match, he still queued into Sanhok. This time, he decided to jump to Paradise resort. The houses in the middle of Paradise Resort were veryrge, and you rarely ran into a situation where there was only one gun. He jumped on the balcony and turned to open the door¡ª¡ª A VSSid quietly on the floor, and the gun border seemed to glow with a warm light. Lines started to appear in the barrage. [They¡¯re all guns. Why divide them into high or low grades?] [They¡¯re all guns. Why divide them into high or low grades?] [They¡¯re all guns. Why divide them into high or low grades?] ¡°This is a god¡¯s gun.¡± Yu Yan ran into the room and brushed past the VSS, not even looking back. ¡°I¡¯m too noob, so I won¡¯t pick it up.¡± ¡ª Divi: Lots of notes here, mostly on the VSS, but it¡¯s not as bad as Yanyan makes it out to be if you¡¯re a pro. Of course, there are better guns¡­ but beggars can¡¯t be choosers¡­ Chapter 11 - Not using cheat software. I agree, cheaters should die. Chapter 11 - Not using cheat software. I agree, cheaters should die. Edited by Divetus and Noks After ying solos all day, Yu Yan¡¯s mood finally eased a little. Although he didn¡¯t eat chicken every match, he always managed to kill at least five people. In the evening, Lu Xiuhe came online and urged him to y with him, and some stream followers immediately asked him to do a lottery. As soon as he wanted to rx, a phone call came in. It was actually from Lu Xiuhe, who was in the game lobby. Not knowing what trick the other party had up his sleeve, he hesitated for a bit before turning off his mic. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Yu Yan, don¡¯t draw any stream followers today.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Xiao Rui and Climber are online. They just came to find me and said that they wanted to y with you.¡± Xiao Rui and Climber were friends who used to y with Yu Yan at the Inte cafe. Later, they were admitted to an out-of-province university and he had gradually lost contact with them. ¡°Alright, get them to log in.¡± Soon, all four avatars were live. [What the hell, I¡¯ve been watching this livestream all day, but in the end, he isn¡¯t going to draw any stream followers? Waste of my time.] [1. Leaving, boring.] [Don¡¯t want to watch, then scram. Why are you trying to make yourself known?] Yu Yan turned a blind eye to the barrage. They all said they would leave, but the number of viewers in the stream was increasing instead of decreasing. Also, he had learned his lesson yesterday. Although he did have better luck thest few times, as some of the stream followers he had drawn were very interesting, they were the minority. The majority of his followers were yers who couldn¡¯t keep up with his level but still wanted to be creative. Yesterday, a stream follower had evene into the game lobby, and then directly turned on his mic to advertise his WeChat ID to sell counterfeit shoes¡­ ¡°Xiao Yan, long time no see.¡± Xiao Rui said with a smile, ¡°Someday when we¡¯re free, we should all grab some food together.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Which map should we y?¡± ¡°Just¡­ Sanhok ba.¡± Xiao Rui and Climber were both loyal yers of shooting games. Although they couldn¡¯t y as well as Yu Yan, they were much better at it than Lu Xiuhe. The four peoplended in Paradise Resort. ¡°I¡¯ve left two people behind,¡± Climber said. ¡°There¡¯s no one with me. There¡¯s an AKM here, whoever wants it cane get it.¡± Yu Yan finished talking and then used the AKM in his hand to send the enemy in front of him flying. ¡°Nah,¡± Lu Xiuheughed at him, ¡°Only you, an unlucky yer, would view the AKM as a good gun. Unless it¡¯s a 98k or M24, it¡¯s not worth me going over there to get it.¡± Yu Yan nced at the map, estimated the distance between him and Lu Xiuhe in his head, and sneered. ¡°It must be so hard for you to run 60 meters to get over here. I was asking Climber and Xiao Rui, if you take the AK¡­ when you sweep, won¡¯t you directly send yourself flying off into the heavens?¡± The AKM gun had arge recoil, which was very shaky and wasn¡¯t easy to push against. yers with lower skill levels would often fire a few dozen bullets and then have the gun¡¯s muzzle fly up towards the sky. Lu Xiuhe retorted, ¡°Hey, whatever you want to say, can¡¯t you say it nicely? Do you have to personally attack me?¡± The whole area of Paradise Resort wasn¡¯t big. Soon, the war subsided. Yu Yan¡¯s team had sessfully survived. [Anchor, turn off your cheat software ba. You¡¯ve been streaming for so many days now, really not afraid of being exposed?] ¡°Cheat software? What cheat software?¡± Before Yu Yan could even say anything, Lu Xiuhe had opened his mouth, ¡°I¡¯m telling you guys&#k2026; I¡¯m his bro in real life. Before he started livestreaming, he yed games in my family¡¯s Inte cafe. I stood behind him every day and watched him y with my own eyes; he¡¯s really not running any software.¡± [This is the Inte. Of course, whatever you say is true.] ¡°Why are you so unreasonable? Okay, if you don¡¯t believe it, you cane to the Inte cafe and ask around yourself. Many of our Inte cafe acquaintances know him¡­¡± ¡°Xiuhe.¡± Yu Yan called out to him, ¡°Don¡¯t talk, I can¡¯t hear footsteps.¡± Lu Xiuhe could only obediently close his mouth, although his heart still nursed some grievances. Yu Yan knew that Lu Xiuhe was being good to him, but he didn¡¯t want to involve other people in the matters of the Inte. Besides, it was pointless to argue with these kinds of people. If they didn¡¯t believe it, then they won¡¯t believe it. ¡°Hey, did an airdrop justnd?!¡± Xiao Rui eximed, and Yu Yan looked up. Sure enough, an airdrop box fell slowly from the sky, about 100 meters away. Not grabbing an airdrop would make no sense. The four of them ran towards the drop point. ¡°Xiao Yan, let¡¯se to an agreement first ah.¡± Climber said, ¡°Big pineapple, AWM for me.¡± ¡°No,¡± Yu Yan controlled his character to rush over. ¡°It¡¯s childish to divide toys, I want all of them.¡± ¡°£¿£¿£¿¡± Climber said, ¡°Shit, I can¡¯t believe you, your running speed is fine ba, why are you still collecting all the guns?!¡± After filling all the gun slots, game characters would run a bit faster. The disadvantage was that they couldn¡¯t immediately turn around and fight back when an enemy appeared. In Sanhok, unless people were escaping the poison circle, they would usually collect an inventory full of guns. Yu Yan ignored him and selfishly ran to the airdrop to get the gun first. He looked at it, an airdropped AWM, PUBG¡¯s number one sniper rifle. If he had to say how precious it was ¡ª this gun was exclusive to airdrops and only carried 20 rounds total. Unless you managed to gather AWM ammo from other airdrops, once your bullets ran out, it was just a decoration. The AWM¡¯s damage was off the charts. In the case that you got headshotted, even a level 3 helmet would have difficulty preserving your life. It was pretty much every yer¡¯s wish when they rushed to an airdrop. He didn¡¯t even think about it and directly discarded the 98k on his back. Climber ran up to him and said, ¡°Said I wanted the AWM.¡± Yu Yan carried the AWM and loaded it. ¡°Said I rejected that.¡± Climber: ¡°¡­¡± There were only 12 people remaining. The next poison circle shrank, and then they were at the center. Lu Xiuhe rubbed his hands together and said, ¡°Very good. I feel like we can eat chicken this match.¡± At this time, Xiao Rui suddenly said, ¡°Xiao Yan, NE direction, green dot.¡± Yu Yan raised a scope and looked through it, but he only saw tall trees and grass, and nothing else. Since he was using an 8x scope, even if the other party hid well, as long as they were in the range of the scope, he would be able to detect them. ¡°Where?¡± ¡°Behind the tree.¡± Xiao Rui said and paused. ¡°He just stuck his head out. You take aim at him, and he¡¯lle out in a moment.¡± Yu Yan stared at the tree for nearly 20 seconds. Atst, there was a little movement from behind the tree. It was only a small smear of the edge of a level 3 helmet that was revealed at the lower right corner of the tree. Yu Yan didn¡¯t think too much about it. He immediately opened the scope and as soon as the enemy came out a little more, he shot him¡ª¡ª Bang¡ª His AWM didn¡¯t have a silencer, so the sound it made was both heavy and loud. [You knocked down XKTVXJGG with an AWM] Another anchor? At this time, the other party¡¯s teammates quickly rushed over to support him. Yu Yan had no time to carefully think about it. He continued to keep the scope open to try and snipe the others. ¡°There are only two of them.¡± Xiao Rui continued, ¡°Xiao Yan, can we kill this one as well?¡± Bang! The gunshot from a 98k sounded, and Climber took the lead to open fire. In his previous game, he had yed as a sniper, so his marksmanship was very good. Last year, Yu Yan couldn¡¯t beat him at sniping. [RRRRRui1234 killed XJGGDXBB with a Kar98k] ¡°Done.¡± Yu Yan let out a sigh of relief and casually nced at the barrage widget at the top left of his screen. Only then did he notice that the number of lines on the on-screen barrage had reached an astonishing number. New lines kept appearing so fast that it was nearly impossible to read them. [Hang yourself on the wall, anchor. Cheating software god, hang yourself off the city walls and apologize for your offense ba.] [The banana army has ughtered their way here. Anchor, talk, how do you want to die?] [This is a new guy, not even showing his face yet. No wonder he dares to run cheat software. If he¡¯s exposed, he¡¯ll just turn off the stream and leave bei, just pat his ass andnguidly leave.] [Knife in hand, kill and leave the dog to hang.] [banana had been hiding in the grass for three minutes, and you headshot him with one move? How did the anchor see it? Exin a bit bei?] Upon seeing the word ¡°banana¡±, Yu Yan reacted. It seemed that the anchor, who he had just headshotted, was banana, the big chicken-eating anchor of StarTV. He looked away and focused on the final round. ¡°Not using cheat software. I agree, cheaters should die.¡± [Thest anchor who was so stubborn and reluctant to admit his mistakes has been banned by the tform.] [Viewers not knowing what¡¯s going on can go to banana¡¯s stream. banana is now reying it.] [People who like this anchor should avail themselves and watch more today ba. Maybe tomorrow this livestream won¡¯t exist anymore lolololol.] After killing thest person, the winner screen popped up. Yu Yan didn¡¯t even bother to look at it; he directly went back to the game lobby. He looked up and saw that the stream viewer count was up to 30,000. The barrage waspletely full of abuse. Looking over it, there wasn¡¯t a single stream follower who helped him to exin things. That was also normal. He¡¯d only been streaming for a few days. It would actually have been strange if there had been die-hard loyal fans. Hearing no sound from Yu Yan¡¯s end, Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Yu Yan, don¡¯t pay attention to them, keep ying bei¡­¡± ¡°You guys y first.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I have to deal with something.¡± Lu Xiuhe tried to stop him. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t¡­¡­¡± He knew Yu Yan wasn¡¯t running a cheat software, but he also knew the position banana held in the eyes of PUBG yers. banana had started streaming as soon as PUBG had released. Even if he wasn¡¯t called the #1 chicken-eating streamer, he definitely ranked in the top three. When he had first seen the XKTVXJGG ID, he had already felt that it wasn¡¯t going to be good. Sure enough, trouble arrived. Even if banana didn¡¯t specte about Yu Yan running a cheat software out loud, a sneer would be enough to make Yu Yan¡¯s livestream fall. So although he didn¡¯t know exactly what was going on, he didn¡¯t want Yu Yan to get into a dispute with banana. Yu Yan turned a deaf ear to Lu Xiuhe¡¯s words. In front of the tens of thousands of people in his stream, he directly clicked on banana¡¯s stream. The other side had just finished watching the rey, paused it, and said to the viewers by typing in the barrage, ¡°Okay okay okay, we¡¯ll watch again.¡± After that, he reopened the game rey and moved it to the first two minutes when the two teams met. Yu Yan stared at the other party¡¯s avatar. He just saw the game avatar running, walking to a tree, and then suddenly lying down. ¡°This is it. I went to the bathroom to take a leak¡­ That anchor came to my stream? Come on ma, tell me what to do. Do you guys want me to shake his hand? Hahahaha.¡± Yu Yan pursed his lips and continued to watch carefully. The character hadin down behind the tree trunk for more than two minutes without moving. He felt a twinge in his heart. ¡­ At this angle, there was a house obscuring him. So, you really couldn¡¯t see him unless you stood behind or were to the left of banana¡¯s current position. In addition, Yu Yan¡¯s team¡¯s position was at the top of the hill opposite of banana, a serious blindspot. At this time, the game avatar slightly moved. Bang¡ª a gunshot, and the avatar was headshotted. ¡°Tch.¡± After banana finished watching, he made a sound, which could mean anything, then turned off the yback. ¡°OK, start the next match, don¡¯t waste everyone¡¯s time.¡± Yu Yan closed the web page, lost in thought. banana¡¯s suspicion wasn¡¯t unreasonable. Honestly, in the scene just now, if the person opposite the hill wasn¡¯t himself, he would¡¯ve also thought that the other person was using cheat software. Of course, he wasn¡¯t running any cheat software. But, thinking back on the scene¡ª¡ª ¡°Xiao Yan, NE direction, green dot.¡± ¡°Behind the tree.¡± ¡°He just stuck his head out. You take aim at him, and he¡¯lle out in a moment.¡± ¡°There are only two of them.¡± Yu Yan frowned. Was Xiao Rui¡­ running a cheat software? ¡ª Juurensha: Nooooo, why Xiao Rui? Don¡¯t ruin yanyan¡¯s stream! Divi: Xiao Rui, get the heck out of here!! Noks: +1 What the hell Xiao Rui??? Go away!!! Chapter 12 - I’ll protect you Chapter 12 - I¡¯ll protect you Edited by Divetus and Noks Back at his stream, the abuse continued. [Finished watching? Can¡¯t speak now?] [You don¡¯t know how to absolve yourself of this ba.] [If you¡¯re not running cheat software, I¡¯ll livestream myself in a meat grinder.] ¡°Don¡¯t ah.¡± Yu Yan narrowed his eyes and directly closed the game. ¡°What did the meat grinder ever do to you?¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s QQ avatar immediately shed at the bottom right of the screen, so Yu Yan adjusted the broadcast window and pulled the dialog box to a ce where the viewers couldn¡¯t see it. Your Great Lord Lu: What¡¯s the situation ah, Xiao Yan¡­ Your Great Lord Lu: I went to see the video. I have to say, it does look a bit strange. Yu Yan: En, I saw it too. Your Great Lord Lu: But you definitely didn¡¯t run any cheat software ah! Yu Yan: I didn¡¯t run any, but I wouldn¡¯t be so sure about the others. Your Great Lord Lu: What do you mean? Yu Yan: Xiao Rui was the one who told me that banana was behind the tree. Lu Xiuhe froze, immediately recalled what had happened, and sent over a series of exmation points. Your Great Lord Lu: You mean¡­ Xiao Rui was running a cheat software?? Yu Yan pursed his lips, thinking about how to reply. After ying PUBG for so long, he could tell in ten seconds whether or not someone was using any cheat software. However, when it came to his own friends, he didn¡¯t want to jump to conclusions. After all, in most yers¡¯ hearts, only morally corrupt people would use cheat software. Your Great Lord Lu: Fuck me, Xiao Rui hase to ask me for your contact information¡­ Should I give it or not ah? Yu Yan had previously added Xiao Rui¡¯s and Climber¡¯s WeChat, but unexpectedly, his WeChat was hacked and all his friends were deleted. At that time, everyone hadn¡¯t met up, so he hadn¡¯t added them back yet. He replied with an ¡®En¡¯. Soon, there was a shing red ¡®1 new friend request¡¯ notification from WeChat friends. As soon as he clicked ept, the other party immediately sent him a message. Xiao Rui: Yu Yan, I heard that your livestream exploded ? What¡¯s the matter ah, are you still ying? Yu Yan: The viewers are using me of running a cheat software. He stared at the chat and saw the notice of ¡°Typing¡± from the other side. It wasn¡¯t until two minutester that the phone let out a slight vibration. Xiao Rui: No way ba? But that¡¯s also normal. You y so well. They can¡¯t y that well on their own, so of course, they say you¡¯re running a cheat software. Yu Yan: En, just now when we were on the hill, how did you see the person across from us? Xiao Rui: Which one ah? Yu Yan: In the semi-finals, behind the tree, the one I headshotted with an AWM. Xiao Rui: Already forgot. I must¡¯ve seen him run behind the tree ba? Yu Yan: Really? Xiao Rui: ¡­ Of course ah, what else could it be? Meanwhile, the barrage¡¯s abuse had grown even more excessive. Yu Yan had always been optimistic, but no one would be happy after being inexplicably attacked with words for more than ten minutes. He paused and then asked directly: Are you running a cheat software? There was no response. Yu Yan: I went to watch the rey. It was impossible for you to see banana from your position. Xiao Rui: Nutjob ah, I didn¡¯t run anything. It¡¯s not like you haven¡¯t yed with me before, I¡¯ve always been really good at finding people. Xiao Rui: What about you, are you running a cheat software? Xiao Yan, it can¡¯t be that you want to push all the me onto me ba. He didn¡¯t expect Xiao Rui to stubbornly refuse to admit anything and also bite back at him. Yu Yan stared at the chat for a few seconds before finally just cklisting him. When he looked up at theputer screen again, he discovered that everything in the barrage had disappeared. [The Stream Moderator has banned all on-screen chat.] [Stream Moderator 012: Our tform boycotts all cheat software. If you want to question the anchor, please contact the administrator directly, and the administrator will verify the situation. Before the results of the investigation, any stream followers who insult or attack the anchor will be banned for 30 days!] The page was clean, and Yu Yan¡¯s heart was also cleared. However, this was essentially like burying his head in the sand. He used his cellphone to log into the tform¡¯s anchor page and sent a private message to the stream moderator. [yanxyan: Thank you.] At the other end, the stream moderator little Jiejie was staring at those unsightly remarks and was fuming. ¡°If you think someone is using cheat software, report it! If you can¡¯t even click the report button, even if you condemn someone to death, you¡¯ll all still be just a bunch of keyboard warriors!¡± As soon as she finished saying that, she saw the private message from Yu Yan and was immediately moved. [Stream Moderator 012: No problem¡­ This is my job after all!] Yu Yan didn¡¯t reply anymore, and just opened the game again. ¡°Moving on. ying a few random squad matches.¡± ¡ª¡ª The abuse continued even on the next day. Yu Yan ignored it, picked up the QBZ beside his feet, loaded the bullets, and rushed out. ¡°Not running a cheat software. Yesterday, I knew someone was behind the tree because my teammate told me. If you have any doubts, just go watch the rey of my livestream from yesterday.¡± [Who needs to spend time watching your livestream? I can see it clearly enough from banana¡¯s stream.] [Everyone, don¡¯t be fooled. Watching the livestream rey will also add views to this little garbage livestream!] [Not picking up the first-aid kit and painkillers nearby?] Yu Yan went outside and ran into someone. Just after two seconds of a gunfight, the enemy¡¯s teammate had arrived in time and together, the two of them managed to knock him down. This was the third time in a row that he had been turned into a lootbox afternding. ¡°If yound at a ce with a gun, you pick up the gun first. Picking up other things is wasting time. Just now, that person was right next to me. If I had gone back to pick up the medicine, he may have run away.¡± [The anchor¡¯s mentality is OK.] [Already reported you. If anyone wants to see a fun anchor, you can go to banana¡¯s livestream at 12312. The gunfights there are much more splendid than those of this cheater.] [Don¡¯t send these messages until the results of the investigatione out, OK? Aren¡¯t you too annoying??] [Yo, there are actually idiots sticking up for this cheater.] Over the course of the night, some supporting lines finally appeared in the barrage, but they were quickly met with verbal abuse from banana¡¯s fans, which always lead to a quarrel. Yu Yan directly banned all on-screen chat and continued to queue for a match. ¡°There¡¯s nothing to quarrel about. The person who announced that he reported me, just wait quietly for the result of the investigation.¡± However, this group of fans didn¡¯t n to stop and soon took another approach. [The Anchor Is Using an X-ray Bot sent you a meteorite] [Is it Fun to Run Cheat Software Son sent you a meteorite] [banana Daddy Will Teach You A Lesson sent you a meteorite] Meteorites were free gifts, and the design of it was a hard and ugly stone. Although it had no negative impact on the anchor or even in experience points, on StarTV, this was no different than a livestream getting downvoted. The barrage could be blocked, but gifts couldn¡¯t be. So, the stream moderator could only watch as antis filled the screen with gifts. Yu Yan was getting upset from looking at it. In this match, he jumped into the wild and wanted to search for things quietly. Until a line of small blue letters appeared at the top of the screen. [Star Emissary ¡°1¡± has entered the stream.] ¡ª¡ª The Study. Yi Chen had just finished reading a spreadsheet and had entered the livestream at eight o¡¯clock. He hadn¡¯t expected to see stones being constantly thrown up on the screen as soon as he came in. He narrowed his eyes, but before he could figure out what was going on, his private message notification icon lit up. Has banana Streamed Today: Boss, did you send gifts to this anchor? He¡¯s a cheater, it was revealed yesterday! If you don¡¯t believe me, you can go to banana¡¯s livestream to watch the livestream rey. The livestream number is 12312¡­ So many things had happened in these past two days that Yu Yan didn¡¯t remember the eight o¡¯clock agreement until he saw the message announcing 1¡¯s entrance into the stream. He was hesitating on what to say when the other party took the initiative in sending a private message. He quickly opened up the message on his phone. 1: y? StarTV¡¯s full screen bans only worked for five minutes. After five minutes, you would have to manually ban it again. As soon as Yu Yan received 1¡¯s message, the five minute ban timer ran out, and the barrage once again began to show countless obscenities. I have to exin a bit ba, Yu Yan thought. yanxyan: Boss, I¡¯ve had some stuff happen here. If you y with me now, you may be indiscriminately attacked. 1: En. You used cheating software? yanxyan£º¡­! I didn¡¯t! Yu Yan regretted it the moment he sent it. Who would believe what he said? It was better to wait quietly for the investigation results toe out. As expected, he didn¡¯t receive a reply to his message even after waiting for a long time. When the match countdown on the screen turned to 5, Yu Yan pursed his lips and tapped on his cellphone screen. yanxyan: How about this ah boss, if you¡¯ve taken offense¡­ Just give me your WeChat or Alipay, and I¡¯ll return the gift money to you. However, I only got half of it, so I can only return that half to you. After he sent this message out, he flipped his cellphone face down onto theputer desk, and it made a muffled, dull sound. By now, he had endured more than ten hours of abuse and could still force himself to continue ying the game. But as soon as he saw 1¡¯s question, he was like a deting balloon. All his grievances finally broke through the shackles and rushed into his heart. Mostly, it was because 1 was his first viewer and his first boss. In all senses, he was different from other stream followers. In this match, Yu Yan¡¯s ystyle became very radical. Even if he was normally a sharpshooter, he seldom had such an impulse. After cleaning one side of the vi, he immediately ran to the right. Having just heard some footsteps, he shot at the floor several times. Sure enough, within half a minute, an enemy was lured in by him, and their footsteps got closer. A frag grenade was thrown from the corner of the stairs. Yu Yan didn¡¯t even think about hiding. He rushed forward with his gun in hand. The other party was also stunned but immediately opened his gun¡¯s scope to aim at him. After five seconds of continuous gunfire, Yu Yan sessfully killed him with only a sliver of health left. [¡­ Demolished them.] [Seems like he¡¯s not just using an X-ray hack, but also an unlimited health hack, garbage.] [It¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve seen this kind of y, it¡¯s really a miracle that the anchor could survive until now.] [You don¡¯t say, watching this is really cool.] Yu Yan moved his hand, directly closed the barrage widget and concentrated on the match. But his method of shooting at the ground to lure enemies was too arrogant, so he was soon punished. Looking at the gray interface, he silently picked up his cellphone, ready to transfer the money to 1, but found that the other side hadn¡¯t sent any ount numbers, and had instead just sent two messages. 1: No need. 1: I just watched the rey. Yu Yan was stunned, and then his eyes widened slightly. If he wasn¡¯t interpreting this wrong, this was¡­ this meant he believed him? Yi Chen frowned and clicked the mouse twice. Theputer still didn¡¯t respond. As he mostly used hisptop, the desktopputer in his study hadn¡¯t been upgraded for a long time. He had just opened the video rey when the whole thing froze. In retrospect, whenever he yed games on thisputer, it would also freeze from time to time. He was just thinking about it when his private messages notification lit up. yanxyan£ºQAQ yanxyan: That¡¯s so great. 1: What? yanxyan: You¡¯re willing to believe me. Yi Chen thought it was funny. He was just a in facelessizen, whether he believed him or not, why was it important to the little anchor? 1: En, you stream ba, I¡¯m going offline. yanxyan: Ah? Not ying the game? I¡¯ll take you. yanxyan: If any antis try to add you, you can just reject their friend requests. I promise it¡¯ll be okay in a few days! 1: It¡¯s not that. Myputer is a littleggy and keeps freezing, so I probably can¡¯t y. This time, the other party replied very quickly. yanxyan: It doesn¡¯t matter! Just follow behind me, I¡¯ll protect you. It was as if Yi Chen couldn¡¯t recognize the words on the screen, as he kept his eyes narrowed for a long time before slowlying around. ¡­ Protect him? These words were quite novel. Since there was no response, the other side carefully sent over a sentence. yanxyan: Are youing? After a long time. 1: I¡¯m logging in. ¡ª Juurensha: I felt really bad seeing all the mean stuff ppl were saying about yanyan¡­but yay, Boss Yi believes him! Divi: Yeah, it really sucks when you got antis attacking you without the proper investigation. Stay strong Yanyan, your boss believes you! Chapter 13 - Even if he landed in Novo, I would have to go pick him up Chapter 13 - Even if hended in Novo, I would have to go pick him up Edited by Divetus and Noks As soon as 1 logged in, Yu Yan immediately pulled him into the game lobby. Before queuing into the match, he thought of something, and opened QQ, wanting to call Lu Xiuhe to also join, but found that the other party had already sent him countless messages. Your Great Lord Lu: ¡­ It¡¯s all my fault. Fuck, if I had known about this earlier, I wouldn¡¯t have let theme. Your Great Lord Lu: What did Xiao Rui say? I watched the rey twice, and you¡¯re absolutely right, he must¡¯ve been running a cheat software! I sent him messages but he hasn¡¯t replied to a single one! Your Great Lord Lu: Hey, Xiao Yan, this time it was really me who threw you into the pit. I¡¯m sorry ah. Yu Yan hadn¡¯t thought much about it when he had opened the chat. The chat was soon seen by viewers, and another round of attacks started. Words like ¡°acting¡± and ¡°drama queen¡± popped up. Yu Yan: It¡¯s OK, it had nothing to do with you. Do you want toe y? Your Great Lord Lu: ¡­ Forget it, I won¡¯te ba. Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t quite have the nerve. Although he wasn¡¯t the one who had run the cheat software, he was the one who had helped them make contact. He was also the one who had asked Yu Yan to take Xiao Rui along, so he had his own share of me. Yu Yan: Log in, and bring me some breakfast tomorrow morning. He wasn¡¯t sure about others, but he hadplete trust in Lu Xiuhe. During his most depressing days, Lu Xiuhe had always found some excuse to just invite him out to treat him to a meal and save him some face. Even waiving the Inte fee at the Inte cafe was something that Lu Xiuhe had run over to suggest to his father. Although the other party didn¡¯t say anything, Yu Yan wasn¡¯t stupid and knew exactly how things stood. Lu Xiuhe froze for a bit and only regained hisposure after a while. Your Great Lord Lu: Not just breakfast, I¡¯ll take care of your meals for the next week! I¡¯m getting on now!! The three of them started a squad match. Manners za, 60 secondster, the teammate who had been randomly matched with them spoke up. No. 4 called out, ¡°Hey, hey, hey, hello, hello, hello, is anyone there?¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Yes.¡± No. 4 asked, ¡°How well can you y, bro?¡± The ne quickly took off. The roar of the ne was too loud, so Yu Yan pulled his headset away a little. ¡°Very strong.¡± No. 4 put forth a suggestion. ¡± ¡­ Okay, let¡¯s jump to the Military Base? Or Pochinki?¡± ¡°Jump to Zharki ba.¡± ¡°Zharki?¡± No. 4 paused for a bit, ¡°Bro, didn¡¯t you say you were very strong?¡± Zharki was an awkwardly ced city in the upper left corner of the Erangel map. Eight or nine times out of ten, you¡¯d have to try to outrun the poison circle. There also weren¡¯t many houses to search for resources. Don¡¯t mention supplying a team, if you had bad luck, you couldn¡¯t even get a single good gun. The advantage was¡­ few people wouldnd there. ¡°No. 1 is a new yer, I¡¯m taking care of him.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s words were warm, making it hard for people to refuse him. But No. 4 was still reluctant. He thought about it and asked, ¡°No. 3, do you also want to jump to Zharki?¡± As soon as he heard about No.1 and No. 2, he could tell they were a pair. If he got No.3¡¯s support, maybe he could change the situation. Lu Xiuhe responded, ¡°I love Zharki.¡± No. 4: ¡°¡­¡± So it was happily settled like this. The flight path wasn¡¯t close to Zharki; you would need to do in-air maneuvering before parachuting to just barely get to it. No. 4 was flying around and then discovered. ¡°WTF, No. 1, why did you already open your parachute?¡± ¡°WTF! No. 2, you also opened your parachute? Bro, do you even know how to y ah, you can¡¯t even properly skydive?¡± ¡°I see a car.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I¡¯ll go pick him up.¡± No. 4 looked at Yi Chen¡¯s position. ¡°Don¡¯t go, he¡¯s like a million miles away from you. How can you search for items if you¡¯re picking him up? Forget knowing how to properly skydive, he probably doesn¡¯t even know how to do a regr jump ba¡­¡± While No. 4 was speaking, Yu Yan had already stepped onto a motorcycle on the side of the road. Motorcycles were the fastestnd vehicle in the game. However, since its speed was faster, it was more dangerous and harder to control. It was very easy to overturn while on it, and most new yers didn¡¯t dare to drive them. Yu Yan expertly elerated the bike to its highest speed andughed, ¡°That won¡¯t do. Even if hended in Novo, I would have to go pick him up.¡± This was the first time that Yi Chen had heard the little anchorugh since he had entered the stream today. He remembered thatst time, the other party had actually been very fond ofughing and had even kept chatting with the audience while ying. Recalling today¡¯s barrage, the slight arc at the corner of Yi Chen¡¯s mouth tugged down a few degrees. The little anchor arrived very quickly. He rode a motorcycle, swept in, and stopped by his side. ¡°Come, get on.¡± Yi Chen got on the motorcycle and took a sip of the coffee beside him. ¡°1.¡± The little anchor suddenly said, ¡°Press V.¡± It was only when the smell of coffee had suffused his mouth that Yi Chen realized that the other party was talking to him. The name 1 really wasn¡¯t easy to get used to. He pressed V, and the game shifted to first-person POV. It had to be said that the game¡¯s visual effects were very good. The nts and trees swaying back and forth, and the tremor of sitting on a motorcycle were all fully present. Besides the excitement though, it also made people dizzy. At this time, the motorcycle suddenly rushed up a steep hill and lost traction, flying up into the air¡ª Then it made a beautiful 360 degree turn in midair. [666666 tutorial please!!] [What does that count as, even I can do this. Should I show you?] [Crazy ah, if you¡¯re not here to watch then leave. Staying here to just curse at everything, are banana fans just that low ss?] Yu Yan didn¡¯t care. He took a shortcut and didn¡¯t drive on the main road. He took on every hill that could overturn his motorcycle by driving over it, and very quickly arrived at Zharki. Lu Xiuhe and No. 4 were both searching around the city, while Yu Yan drove directly to the end of the street. ¡°You get off here. I¡¯ll search in the middle of the city and pick you up after a while when we have to race the poison circle.¡± Lu Xiuhe had atst turned on his mic. ¡°Xiao Yan, did you see any other vehicles on your way here?¡± As expected, Zharki wasn¡¯t in the safe zone. They would have to race against the poison circle in a little while. If they wanted to search here longer, they would have to find a car for the race. ¡°No.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°There are no guaranteed car spawns here, but the circle isn¡¯t that far. You guys can just run.¡± Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°Don¡¯t you have a motorcycle? You can bring me with you and if we find a car on the road, we¡¯lle back to pick them up¡­¡± Yu Yan calmly interrupted him, ¡°The poison circle ising, it¡¯s almost time for you to start running.¡± Lu Xiuhe: ¡°¡­¡± As he was still feeling guilty, Lu Xiuhe, at this time, didn¡¯t dare to have any objections. He epted his fate and jumped down from the house with his gun holstered behind him. By the time Yu Yan searched his fourth house, he was already immersed in the first poison circle. The good thing was that the first circle didn¡¯t hurt. ¡°Let¡¯s search for a bit longer, and then just add everything to our inventory.¡± After searching thest house, he rode his motorcycle again, picked up 1, and rushed to the safe zone. ¡°Shit¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe, who was still struggling to outrun the poison circle, watched as the two of them swept past him, and said bitterly, ¡°Slow down a bit, a little garbage motorcycle, aren¡¯t you afraid of being shot at¡­ Oh shit! Holy shit!! Xiao Yan!!!¡± He suddenly got louder, to the extent that Yu Yan even felt that his ears hurt. ¡°What¡¯s happened?¡± ¡°Hurry up, hurry up and look at your stream!!!¡± Upon hearing Lu Xiuhe¡¯s tone, Yu Yan¡¯s heart sank. It couldn¡¯t be that he had gotten suspended again ba? Once bitten, twice shy. He parked his motorcycle in a rtively secluded spot and said, ¡°Wait for me a bit.¡± As soon as he said that, he quickly switched to the livestream page, and saw that his livestream was still alive. Only after confirming that fact did he have the heart to pay attention to other things. His livestream page had beenpletely overwhelmed by the barrage. [?????] [StarTV, what is this action??? A new feature???] [Seeing this for the first time¡­] [I¡¯m watching on the mobile app, and the notice bar suddenly appeared at the top of my screen, very eye-catching¡­] [Where¡¯s that group of people who were just cursing the anchor out? Disappeared?] [This must be a bug, or it was set by the anchor himself. StarTV doesn¡¯t have this feature at all, okay?? What the fuck are you doing, anchor?] Yu Yan dazedly looked up and then his eyes slightly widened as he became stunned. At the top of his livestream, he saw an extremely eye-catching notice with a yellow background and ck characters¡ª¡ª [Administrator 03: After multiple verifications (host video rey, PUBG reporting system), StarTV anchor yanxyan did not use any illegal software in the livestream on July 25, and the report is invalid.] ¡ª Juurensha: A, Boss Yi wanted to cheer yanyan up. Divi: Feels good to be carrying the CEO of thepany you stream for. Get that name cleared yanyan!! Noks: Oh Yeah!!!!!! Boss Yi is DA BEST!!!! Chapter 14 - Yu ·Ultimate Voice Con· Yan Chapter 14 - Yu ¡¤Ultimate Voice Con¡¤ Yan Edited by Divetus and Noks Yu Yan didn¡¯t really understand StarTV¡¯s reporting system. He had refreshed the webpage several times, but the notice was still pinned to the top of his stream. It didn¡¯t seem like a system bug. The barrage was still being bombarded, but the direction of the conversation was obviously different now. Besides the mass amounts of question marks covering the screen, there were many people who tried to speak up for him. Yu Yan nced at it but then hurried back to the game. ¡°How about it, Xiao Yan? Did you ask? Is it a bug?¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°This is actually the first time I¡¯ve seen something like this, so awesome!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t ask, let¡¯s finish the match first.¡± No. 4 heard something, and asked doubtfully, ¡°No. 2 is an anchor? Which channel ah? I watch livestreams every day, why don¡¯t I recognize your voice?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not an anchor.¡± Afraid of disturbing his teammate¡¯s y-style, Yu Yan denied it. Lu Xiuhe then interrupted, ¡°Well anyway, hurry up and enter the circle ba. You¡¯re already taking damage.¡± Yu Yan nced at his and 1¡¯s health bars, making sure they could make it into the circle, and then started his little motorcycle again. Lu Xiuhe and No. 4 had already been waiting for them in a small house somewhere in the wild area. Yu Yan drove his motorcycle to the warehouse attached to the house and jumped off. ¡°Uhhh¡­¡± Yi Chen also got off the bike and stood still to hear what the little anchor wanted to say. Yu Yan raised his head and didn¡¯t continue. He had wanted to ask if the other party had any first aid kits, but after thinking about it, he wouldn¡¯t get an answer even if he asked. So he walked up to Yi Chen¡¯s avatar, dropped a first aid kit and two energy drinks, and then went upstairs. The next circle quickly refreshed, and they were in the center of the map. No. 4 eximed, ¡°Ha ha! This circle is pretty good! Let¡¯s ambush people from this building ba. Maybe if we just keep lying here, we can eat chicken? I¡¯ll close all the doors¡­ Hey! Where are you going, No. 2?¡± ¡°Pochinki.¡± Yu Yan descended from the right side and didn¡¯t even turn his head to look back. No. 4 couldn¡¯t understand. He had to jump to damn Zharki, and when they just managed to get a good circle, he had to go to Pochinki?? At this point in time, the battles in Pochinki should¡¯ve finished. The surviving team must hold all the spoils. He¡­ was only taking an AKM and S12k to join that party ah? ¡°Don¡¯t go, it must¡¯ve already beenpletely emptied by other people!¡± ¡°I know.¡± ¡°You know and you¡¯re still going?! When you get there, if there are still people in the city, aren¡¯t you just going there to die then?¡± [This No. 4 is so annoying. If you like to y, then y, if you don¡¯t want to y, then scram.] [No. 4 shut up for me!!] Yu Yan also thought that No. 4 was a little irksome. ¡°Lu Xiuhe,ing?¡± Lu Xiuhe responded, ¡°Hey, daddy, I¡¯m on my way.¡± Yu Yan subconsciously nced at the map and found that 1 had actually followed behind Lu Xiuhe. He said, ¡°1¡­ No. 1, you just wait for me in the house.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll bring you back something nice.¡± Yi Chen had taken two steps, then paused, and turned to decisively run back. This was the first time he had beenbeled with ¡°needs to be protected¡±. After trying thisbel out for more than ten minutes, he felt that it actually was pretty fine. [The anchor¡¯s outrageous words are just filling the sky.] [I want money, and I want to be the boss of the anchor!! I also want to lie there and wait for good things!!!] [The Boss was told to go back and just went back? Really doesn¡¯t have any courage ba?] [What the hell do you know? This is called being flexible. That¡¯s why other people are bosses, and you¡¯re not.] The two people split up upon reaching Pochinki, mainly to find the locations of surviving yers, not to search for items. Lu Xiuhe called out, ¡°All the doors over here have been opened, and no one is here.¡± ¡°No one¡¯s here either.¡± Yu Yan passed by three lootboxes, which were piled together, but didn¡¯t even turn to look at them. ¡°Go to the end of the city and have a look. Be careful.¡± [Anchor, check the boxes ah to see if there¡¯s anything good.] ¡°No.¡± Yu Yan donned the tone of a domineering president, ¡°I never loot from things that other people have already looted from.¡± [???] [Really acting like that??] [Remember you said that, man.] The barrage fluttered about excitedly. Yu Yan was holding his gun when he saw a sh of gray on the second floor of a house nearby. ¡°I see someone. House with a green roof, second floor, level 2 helmet.¡± ¡°I see them too.¡± Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°What do you say? Attack the house?¡± ¡°Attack the house?¡± Yu Yanughed and said, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t we first figure out how many people there are inside¡­ Someone just washed this city with blood, and the emptied lootboxes number more than your essories. What are you going to attack the house with? Smoke grenades?¡± Lu Xiuhe: ¡°¡­¡± He had just been walking around Zharki for most of the match and hadn¡¯t managed to pick up a single frag grenade. Attacking a house without grenades was basically just going in there to die. ¡°Then what should we do?¡± ¡°Do you have a magnifying scope?¡± ¡°A magnifying scope?¡± Lu Xiuhe acted like he had heard a joke. ¡°What¡¯s that? Can I use it to heal myself?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan looked at his empty sight attachment slot and asked, ¡°What about a basic sight?¡± ¡°Have a red dot sight.¡± ¡°Give it to me. I¡¯ll split the lootboxes upstairs 50-50 with you.¡± Lu Xiuhe listened to him and hurriedly tossed him the red dot sight. Yu Yan quickly picked it up and turned to enter the house next to him. [The door of this house is open. It¡¯s already been searched ah.] [It can¡¯t be that you want to fight the people upstairs ba?] The viewers¡¯ doubts were soon answered. They watched as the game avatar ran to the top of the house while carrying an AKM, and as soon as he saw an enemy, he opened the scope. [??? Are you sure you¡¯re not kidding me?? So far away, you will hit zilch.] [As soon as the red dot sight was opened I couldn¡¯t see anything. Can¡¯t even see the other person moving or anything.] [The anchor has an AKM, and the other party is wedged in the corner by the window. How can he deal with him? Forget it ba, turning back is good.] ¡°Not turning back, I can deal with him.¡± Having said that, he keenly caught sight of the exposed gray-white helmet once again, and shot at his head without thinking. The heavy sound of gunshots rang out and green blood flowed from the enemy. The gunshot soundssted for less than three seconds¡ª [You have eliminated ZEI-KU with an AKM] PUBG¡¯s killing mechanics were also very particr. If you killed enemies who still had teammates, the system would prompt ¡°You knocked down XX with XX¡±. If there weren¡¯t any teammates alive, it would directly disy ¡°eliminated¡±. As soon as this battle urred, the barrage immediately exploded again. [Awesome¡­ If it wasn¡¯t for that announcement, I wouldn¡¯t believe it.] [That announcement counts for crap. Let¡¯s wait for the official exnation ba. Someone has already reported it. The anchor is a cheater.] [So strong, it¡¯s a pity to not go pro.] Yu Yan let out a breath. It seemed that they had been lucky; there was only one opponent. If the number of enemies had been three or more, he actually wasn¡¯t sure if he could beat them. He jumped down the stairs and went straight to the lootbox. Lu Xiuhe ran after him, huffing and puffing. He finally got to the side of the lootbox and opened it¡ª¡ª A bare M416 and S12k were lying in it, watching him quietly. There wasn¡¯t a single ammo pack left, and Yu Yan had already put on the level 1 armor. Most excessively, this bully hadn¡¯t even left a single grenade for him. ¡°WTF, didn¡¯t we agree beforehand! Half of the lootbox was going to be given to Laozi!!!¡± Yu Yan stepped onto the motorcycle with a sidecar, which was in the garage, and replied confidently, ¡°I went back on my word.¡± ¡°In front of all your viewers, you cheated me out of a little red dot sight, your face must be red!!!¡± ¡°My face is red so I¡¯m returning it to you.¡± Yu Yan threw the red dot sight onto the ground and then marked a point on the map, ¡°Come and retrieve it yourself.¡± Lu Xiuhe was heartbroken and sobbed, ¡°¡­ It¡¯s really true that public morals are degenerating with each passing day, people¡¯s hearts just aren¡¯t the same anymore!¡± Yu Yan ignored him and slowly rode back to the small house in the wild area on the three-seat motorcycle. Yi Chen watched the little anchor¡¯s icon get closer and closer to him¡ªuntil he stood right in front of him. Then, without saying a word, Yu Yan began to toss him things. He opened the inventory interface and nced at them. These were all things that the little anchor usually used when ying PUBG, so they should all be good items. Just when he was just about to pick them up, the cellphone in front of the keyboard suddenly rang. That lootbox was very fat, so Yu Yan¡¯s inventory was full. After tossing 1 some ammo and a basic scope, he also tossed him two more first aid kids. For novices, first aid kits should be the best thing ba. After he finished dropping the items for 1, he turned around and left, intending to go to the balcony to see if he could catch a few moving lootboxes. ¡ª¡ª¡±What¡¯s going on?¡± An adult man¡¯s voice resounded from his headset. It was deep, mature, maic, but also carried a hint ofziness. It wasn¡¯t the voice of No. 4, and it definitely wasn¡¯t Lu Xiuhe¡¯s voice. Yu Yan¡¯s fingers reflexively paused, and his game avatar also just froze there. ¡°Thursday¡­¡± The man paused, as if he was recalling something, and continued, ¡°There¡¯s a meeting in the afternoon.¡± ¡°Returned? So quickly?¡± ¡°Understood.¡± It seemed as if the other party didn¡¯t know that his words were being heard in the livestream, and so still spoke calmly andposedly. Yu Yan¡¯s heart seemed to have gone out of control. His heartbeat elerated the moment he heard the tone of the man¡¯s voice. Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°What¡¯s that sound ah? Who¡¯s on the phone?¡± Yu Yan responded, ¡°You shut up¡­¡± It was a pity that he stopped him from speaking toote. The man had finally realized something, and his voice cut short. After a long time. ¡°I¡¯ll tell youter,¡± As he finished saying that, only the muffled sound of a cellphone being ced on the desk was heard. Yi Chen then asked, ¡°Can you guys hear me?¡± Lu Xiuhe replied, ¡°Can hear you, can hear you! But Boss, why can¡¯t I see a microphone indicator next to your name ah?¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows. ¡°I didn¡¯t turn on the microphone.¡± ¡°Then??¡± [Ahhhhhh, this voice, I¡¯m dead!!!] [Could this be a CVba¡­] [This was intentional ba? Even saying that there¡¯s a meeting¡­ Pretending to be a big boss?] [He¡¯s the mod of the stream ah! The anchor didn¡¯t block mod voice chat, and the boss didn¡¯t turn off open mic, so of course, we could hear.] ¡°Is that so?¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Then Xiao Yan, remember to disable Boss¡¯ open micter.¡± Yu Yan wasn¡¯t in the mood to listen to what Lu Xiuhe was saying. No wonder he¡¯d always heard some small noises before¡­ Yi Chen kept silent. He put the scope on the gun and was getting ready to leave. Only to see the little anchor in front, who had already run to the balcony, suddenly turn around and run toward him again. With the crisp sound effect of several items being dropped, he now had more things in front of him. An 8x scope, med kit, adrenaline syringe. The viewers watched on as Yu Yan threw these treasures onto the ground like pieces of trash. [???] [What, BMing???] [Just gave two first aid kits, and now giving him a med kit¡­] [Also giving the 8x scope to the Boss? Too risky ba? Then what are you going to use?? ] Yu ¡¤Ultimate Voice Con¡¤ Yan frowned and said, ¡°I-I¡¯m strong.¡± When he finished speaking, a low, slightly breathyugh reached his ear. ¡­ Yu Yan felt that his ears were about to burn up. ¡°You take it back ba.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Giving it to me is a bit of a waste.¡± The little anchor stood in front of him for a few seconds and didn¡¯t respond. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a clear ¡°thump¡± sound. Now there was an M24 in front of him. ¡°No problem¡­ Bandages and 4x scopes are enough.¡± After a long time, Yu Yan said, ¡°You take this.¡± Yi Chen was even more amused and asked him, ¡°Then, what are you going to use?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Yu Yan thought about it. ¡°I¡¯ll take Lu Xiuhe¡¯s ¡°Mini14.¡± Barrage: [????? ] Lu Xiuhe: ¡°??????¡± The author has something to say: Lu Xiuhe: Hello? Bro? What¡¯s going on with you?? ¡ª Juurensha: Hahaha, ultimate voice con Yanyan Noks: Lu Xiuhe, you should just shut up. Don¡¯t interrupt Boss Yi. At all. Chapter 15 - Do you know why you’re so noob? Chapter 15 - Do you know why you¡¯re so noob? Yu Yan was 10/10 absolutely a voice con, butpared to other voice cons, he seemed to be a bit more¡­ No, not a bit more, but exceedingly more picky. When he was a child, he liked using a radio to listen to a certain announcer read letters addressed to the station. He did this regrly for four years,e rain or shine. Later, when the announcer left, the radio was abandoned in a corner to umte dust, never to be used again. Then, there was a foreign animation voice actor. He overheard this voice when he passed an audio-visual shop. After he went home, hepped up all the animations that that CV had done. Those shows were still intact on hisputer. Unfortunately, the CV was old and wasn¡¯t suitable for main male lead roles. He went on to voice uncle roles. Yu Yan could still remember the first second when he heard the CV do his big uncle voice¡ªhe had nearly crushed his earphones. ¡­ After repeatedly doing this several times, Yu Yan frowned and found that something wasn¡¯t quite right¡ª¡ª The voices he liked¡­ all seemed to be male voices. It wasn¡¯t that he thought girls¡¯ voices weren¡¯t nice to listen to. Like everyone else, he thought girls with soft voices were cute, and girls with high and cold voices were elegant. But besides that, he didn¡¯t have any other peculiar emotions towards them. ¡­ It wasn¡¯t like when he heard 1¡¯s voice, where he started blushing, and his heart had begun pounding. It even felt as if the hollows of his palms had small hammers gently beating inside them. Just now, he almost trembled and gave away his entire inventory. Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Stop dreaming, I won¡¯t give it to you.¡± Yu Yan curbed his bubbling energy. After he finished tossing everything, he turned around to leave, his back giving off the feeling of being in a hurry. [It¡¯s not up to you to refuse.] [Gunfight right here, whoever wins gets the gun.] [You guys are bullying people here ah!] The PC and console versions of PUBG were different from PUBG mobile¡ªfriendly fire would actually damage teammates. Lu Xiuhe trembled. ¡°It can¡¯t be that you want to murder your own son ba?¡± ¡°¡­ No, everyone, don¡¯t speak nonsense. I never kill my teammates.¡± Yu Yan paused, ¡°Although, my teammates weren¡¯t carrying Mini14s before.¡± Half a minuteter, Lu Xiuhe dropped the Mini14 onto the ground. ¡°¡­ Why do you have only one gun on your back? When you tossed the M24, why didn¡¯t you pick up the one that Boss was holding?¡± At the time, Yu Yan had run away from his patron, so how could he have the heart to wait for Boss to throw him his gun? ¡°He had a S686, I thought it over, and you don¡¯t know how to use it anyway.¡± Lu Xiuhe: ¡°¡­¡± Who on earth had he provoked?? Not only being threatened into handing over his gun, but also having to suffer this personal attack?! ¡°Thank you so much. I don¡¯t feel guilty at all right now.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Yu Yan ignored the grievance in his words, loaded the gun, and left Lu Xiuhe¡¯s sight without looking back. ¡°I dropped the S686 where I was.¡± Yi Chen opened his inventory, picked up all the things left by the little anchor and equipped them. ¡°I don¡¯t know how to use markers,e and get it yourself ba.¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t expect that Yi Chen would open his mouth again. After two seconds of silly fixation, he started to move again, albeit exasperatingly slowly. ¡­ Really nice to listen to. Really want to record it ah¡­. No, no, I can¡¯t. Boss spent money on me, but I¡¯m still thinking about secretly recording his voice. Truly too excessive. He told this to himself in his heart and hurriedly pushed the thought back down. Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Hey, I¡¯ming, Boss¡­¡± No. 4 shouted, ¡°Someone¡¯s here! NW, behind the rock!¡± Yu Yan shifted his view and quickly caught sight of a level 3 helmet beside the stone. He opened his scope and aimed at the helmet, but didn¡¯t rush to shoot. [Shoot ah, what are you just standing there for?] [Don¡¯t know what the anchor is doing. He also keeps stopping as he walks. Do you think he¡¯s busy with something ba? It¡¯s really inconvenient without the camera on¡­] [Cheaters don¡¯t dare to turn on their camera so that you won¡¯t see how he shoots.] ¡°With a level three helmet, it takes three shots to kill.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°He¡¯s also moving, so it¡¯s hard to get headshots. He has a level three helmet, so he¡¯s probably also holding a good sniper rifle. Their hilltop is also higher than the height of our house. If they snipe me, I¡¯ll have to suffer losses. I have to sneak attack them.¡± [This is the first time seeing you so scared.] Yu Yan continued to take aim. ¡°I¡¯m not scared. If it¡¯s a gunfight, I¡¯m not afraid even if all I have is a pistol.¡± Immediately, people started to say he was just talking big. [¡­ After watching the livestream for several days, he¡¯s really not boasting.] Obviously, their enemy hadn¡¯t discovered them. Yu Yan¡¯s team only saw the enemy with the level three helmet walk two steps and then suddenly stop¡ªthen proceed to take out an energy drink, open it and drink it. At once, Yu Yan was ready to press down on the mouse, but unexpectedly, a gunshot sounded in his ear. No. 4, who held up his AKM with a holographic sight, had moved in front of him to spray at the rock on the hilltop opposite to them. Not a single shotnded on the target. The other side had detected them, so immediately shifted his position, and hid behind the stone. No. 4 eximed, ¡°Ah WTF! It looked like I hit them.¡± Yu Yan responded, ¡°Didn¡¯t.¡± ¡°I did hit, I even saw blood!¡± [Hahahahahaha your eyes are blind, No. 4.] Yu Yan was also toozy to argue with him about this. ¡°If you don¡¯t have a magnifying scope, don¡¯t show yourself&#k2026;¡± Bang! The person beside him suddenly fell down¡ªNo. 4 had been headshotted with a 98K by the person on the opposite hill. Yu Yan didn¡¯t even think about it before turning around and running to the house. No. 4 immediately called out, ¡°Don¡¯t run away ah! Pull me up!¡± ¡°You crawl in.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°He¡¯s standing up there, it¡¯s not safe to pull you up.¡± No. 4 clicked his tongue and slowly crawled inside. Unfortunately, he couldn¡¯t even reach the house before the other side sniped him again, killing him. No. 4ined, ¡°I even told you to pull me up. If you hadn¡¯t run away, I would have gotten up a long time ago.¡± Yu Yan simply muted his mic, and nned to use his livestream¡¯s voice channel instead. He walked into a room that was easy to hide in and saw Yi Chen crouched by the window, aiming at people through a scope. ¡°1, if you stand there, you¡¯ll get spotted in seconds¡­¡± His voice had just fallen when a heavy gunshot sounded out. Yi Chen had already pulled the trigger. ¡°One headshot,¡± the man said in a low voice. With the previous ident, Yi Chen didn¡¯t bother to keep silent any more. After all, talking was the most convenient way tomunicate in this game. Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan! You can do it! You mustn¡¯t panic! ¡°Then you stay here¡­ I¡¯ll change rooms.¡± He added, ¡°Aim from both directions, it¡¯ll be easier to find an angle.¡± Yi Chen asked, ¡°En. I¡¯m easy to spot here?¡± ¡°Yes. You should move a bit left and then peek right to snipe.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± Yu Yan cradled the little Mini14 in his hands and quickly ran out. Who would¡¯ve thought that as soon as he entered another room, another gunshot rang out. [Yii11c eliminated LACFMM with an M24] ¡°Dead.¡± These were all words other yers also used, but why did they sound so nice whening out of 1¡¯s mouth? Lu Xiuhe was lying prone in the house¡¯s living room, with his red dot sight open. As soon as he opened his mouth, he started praising 1, ¡°Boss, are you really a noob? You¡¯re so strong??¡± ¡°Not new, I¡¯ve already yed for a few hours.¡± Yi Chen continued, ¡°He didn¡¯t see me, he was staring at the balcony.¡± Yu Yan quickly swallowed his saliva and then asked, ¡°Hey, 1, let¡¯s go loot together? It must be a fat lootbox.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Lu Xiuhe realized what was going on, stood up, and said, ¡°I¡¯lle too¡­¡± The sound of a motorcycle came from outside. Yu Yan took Yi Chen and didn¡¯t even look back as he refused, ¡°There¡¯s no room.¡± ¡°Damn you! Didn¡¯t you just drive a three-seat motorcycle back from Pochinki?!!¡± ¡°Did I?¡± Yu Yan retorted, ¡°Then, you can drive that one over here ba.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Along the way, Yu Yan deliberately avoided fights and drove around the periphery of the poison circle. On the road, he could asionally hear the sound of faint gunshots, but he didn¡¯t see a single person. The number of survivors in the upper right corner indicator gradually kept decreasing. By the time they found a foothold, only 20 yers were left. ¡°How did I get to the semi-finals without firing a single shot?¡± Lu Xiuhemented. At this time, No. 4 turned on his mic again. ¡°There¡¯s a person to the east! Very close!¡± By the time No. 4 spoke, Yu Yan had already aimed at the other side with his red dot sight. ¡°I see them.¡± ¡°Two! No, no, three! There are other people at the tree beside them. Don¡¯t know if they¡¯re a team!¡± ¡°En.¡± Yu Yan raised his gun to strafe them, sessfully knocking down one. The enemy immediately returned fire. He went down the slope and reloaded. His avatar crouched, and the screen started swaying back and forth. ¡°Get up! They¡¯reing over!¡± ¡°There¡¯s one on the left!! Two on the right! The one that you knocked down hasn¡¯t died yet!! He¡¯s been revived!¡± ¡°Get up and fight ah! At your angle, anyone can easily headshot you!¡± Yu Yan had a headache. ¡°I know, I can see everything.¡± ¡°The one on the left is exposed! Come! Shoot him! Come on ah!¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± [Hahahaha Commander Lootbox.] [So forceful, why didn¡¯t he seem that powerful when he yed?] [Feel sorry for the anchor. I¡¯ve turned the volume down to 10 and I still feel like it¡¯s noisy.] ¡°It¡¯s nothing, really.¡± Yu Yan, together with Lu Xiuhe, managed to knock down and kill the three people who had rushed up. Afterwards, they hurried forward and quickly looted the enemy. ¡°But you guys should listen carefully, No. 4 told me all these things, I didn¡¯t open an x-ray bot.¡± ¡°In fact, if you¡¯re willing to open my livestream¡¯s rey and skip to the 76 minute mark, you¡¯ll see that yesterday¡¯s situation was the same as today¡¯s.¡± [Haters can only see what they want to see, it¡¯s useless.] [All those hateful IDs are gone, what¡¯s the matter?] The barrage was basically clean now. Yu Yan didn¡¯t say much about it; after all, he had to finish livestreaming before he couldmunicate with the administrator for details about the matter. Just as he finished looting, he suddenly heard the sound of a car. ¡°There¡¯s a car!¡± The people in the car had obviously already discovered them. The sound of the car¡¯s engine suddenly stopped and three people jumped out. Yu Yan nced at the map and blurted out, ¡°1, run behind the tree, they can hit you at your current angle¡ª¡± Unfortunately, he said it toote. When the enemy had jumped out of the car, they had already opened fire and knocked Yi Chen down. Yu Yan opened his inventory and looked at the smoke grenade he was holding. Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°What do you say, save him or not ah?¡± They were standing in an open grasnd. If they went over to save him, they¡¯d definitely get shot. Yi Chen said, ¡°No need to save me¡± Yu Yan thought about it for a few seconds and then made a decision. ¡°En, can¡¯t be saved¡­ Lu Xiuhe, drink everything.¡± Yi Chen was quickly killed by the opposite side. He clicked on the spectate option, leaned against his backrest, and leisurely started to watch the battle. Yu Yan took out a grenade and was about to pull the pin¡­ ¡°The opponent is Yan Xiao Yan ah?¡± A sharp male voice sounded. The enemy on the opposite side actually had the all voice channel open. This voice¡­ It was that little aimbotteroshu. It was probably that some stream followers, who were watching both livestreams at the same time, had reported it tooshu after seeing the kill feed. ¡°Ah fuck.¡± Lu Xiuhe couldn¡¯t help muttering to himself, ¡°Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road¡­¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t say anything and just pulled out the grenade pin, continuously focusing on the opponents. ¡°I know it¡¯s you. I heard that you were exposed as a cheater? Bro, you¡¯ve walked in the dark for too long and ran into my banana Ge?¡±oshu¡¯s tone was disdainful with undisguised sarcasm, seemingly unaware of the administrator¡¯s announcement. ¡°Fitting.¡± Among the five new anchors signed by StarTV, yanxyan was the most troublesome. At first, it was okay, but somehow, yanxyan¡¯s poprity almost caught up to his livestream¡¯s poprity. Naturally, yanxyan was his strongest opponent at the moment. ah. I¡¯ll wait for you anytime.¡± Yu Yan narrowed his eyes, his gaze growing profound. He didn¡¯t rush to refuteoshu. He took out his grenade, pulled out the pin, remained silent for a few seconds, and without hesitation, threw it into the grass. Boom! With the explosion, a line of white words appeared. [You knocked down Langyan99 with a frag grenade] Yu Yan said, ¡°There¡¯s still two more. You go to the left.¡± Lu Xiuhe was so angry that he smashed at his keyboard. ¡°OK!¡± Yu Yan took out a smoke grenade and threw it into the grass in front of him. The white fog rose rapidly, giving him cover. oshu is very powerful. Don¡¯t be impulsive, anchor ah, how about sniping him ba.] Yu Yan rushed through the fog holding his AKM and quickly shed behind a tree. But Yu Yan once again took out another smoke grenade and threw it to the right. Yu Yan counted in his heart¡ª35, 38, 40¡­ Upon reaching this moment, he didn¡¯t hesitate and directly rushed out of the white fog. He urately determinedoshu¡¯s position, held his right mouse button to aim as he released a burst of gunfire, producing green blood with every shot. blindly opened his scope, and tried to steadily aim at Yu Yan¡¯s helmet. But as a result, as soon as he started firing, he was already knocked out¡ª¡ª [yanxyan knocked you down with an AKM] The battle had ended too soon. Before the viewers could react, Yu Yan had raised his gun again and killedoshu. Yu Yan took two steps forward and came tooshu. When the audience thought that he was going to loot, he suddenly reloaded, aimed atoshu¡¯s helmet again, and directly shot 40 bullets at the ground¡ª¡ª [Whipping a corpse, holy shit, very stimting ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!] [So terrible hahahaha] [Comfy content.] ¡°You thought using a cheat software would help you?¡± He didn¡¯t expect the other side to be so direct.oshu was stunned and immediately choked up and retorted, ¡°Laozi doesn¡¯t use any cheat software!¡± ¡°Do you know why you¡¯re so noob?¡± Yu Yan shot at the ground again. His voice was a little colder than before as he stated, ¡°Because you speak too much bullshit.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Oooo, badass yanyan! (Also I did love yanyan freaking out over Boss Yi¡¯s voice) And please read Divi¡¯s notes, she worked really hard on them! Divi: Enjoy my essay of notes. I love it when just desserts are served. F I N I S H H I M! Noks: Yanyan went from being a salivating fanboy to an avenging angel. Why is that so freaking adorable?!! Chapter 16 - Don’t just look at me from just one point of view Chapter 16 - Don¡¯t just look at me from just one point of view Edited by Divetus and Noks With a very dark expression,oshu exited the death screen as quickly as possible. He exhaled, his ears were peaceful now. However, although his ears were quiet, his eyes were covered by the word ¡®God¡¯ in the barrage. oshu, after you left, yanxyan also said, ¡°If you refuse to ept that, snipe me, and I¡¯ll serve you another beating¡±.] [Man, why do I feel like yanxyan is kind of awesome¡­] [It¡¯s only natural that cheaters seem awesome. Didn¡¯t he already get a good hammering from banana?] [banana my ass. Go to yanxyan¡¯s stream and take a look. There¡¯s an announcement on his stream issued by the administrator.] ¡°Announcement? What announcement? StarTV doesn¡¯t have that shit. Don¡¯t just blindlessly say things.¡± As he watched his livestream viewer count slowly decrease, he immediately knew that they had all run to yanxyan¡¯s stream to look at the so called ¡°announcement¡±. The face of the man in the camerapletely twisted, and his expression full of agitation. [I¡¯m back, and it really has one! This is the first time I¡¯ve seen this kind of thing on StarTV¡­] With these kinds of words appearing in the barrage, the fluctuation of stream viewers grewrger. greeted all these stupid stream followers¡¯ families a hundred times! ¡°Don¡¯t mention other anchors in my livestream.¡±oshu directly kicked that viewer out of the stream. ¡°I know that you¡¯re all just trying to trick me to go to that anchor¡¯s stream. Is it enjoyable huh? Looking for that idiot¡­ the idiot, for what?¡± Althoughoshu was a new anchor, he¡¯d done a lot of research before entering the world of anchors, thus he also thought he had a thorough understanding of StarTV. If the tform wanted to make money, it wouldn¡¯t punish any of the anchors who ran cheat software unless their ounts got officially banned by the game. At the same time, the tform also cared about its reputation. In order to avoid idents and future troubles, there definitely wouldn¡¯t be any further rification. Just as he thought about it, a livestream assistant suddenly walked up, stood beside him and started to give him a dirty look. Before he could react, the assistant held up a sign that said, ¡°Change the subject!!¡± ¡°¡­ All right, let¡¯s stop talking about it. Stream mods, just directly kick out anyone who talks about another anchor.¡±oshu angrily lowered his head, right-clicked and directly banned all on-screen chat. ¡°Thesest two matches didn¡¯t go well. Giving away 500 red envelopes. Same rules, if you send gifts, you can go into the lottery, the more you give, the greater your chance of winning a spot.¡± Gifts immediately flooded the screen.oshu let out a sigh of relief, used the excuse of going to the bathroom to leave theputer desk and then dragged the assistant to the door. He anxiously asked, ¡°What the fuck is going on?¡± ¡ª ¡°Fuck, it feels so good!¡± Lu Xiuhe had sneaked up on and killedoshu¡¯s teammate. He was so overjoyed that his voice was several decibels higher than usual. ¡°Shit, did you see the bullshit that idiot was saying just now?! You should¡¯ve toughened up earlier, kind people are easily bullied by dogs, Xiao Yan ah!¡± Yu Yan nodded approvingly. ¡°En.¡± Ifoshu had only made sarcastic remarks towards him, he wouldn¡¯t have actually gotten angry. After all, for thest two days, he had been constantly scolded by antis so he was almost numb to it. Who would¡¯ve thought thatoshu had also wanted to steal away his boss? If this was tolerable, then what would be intolerable? But this man ba, since he was so used to being poor, he couldn¡¯t get ustomed to suddenly being rich. When he grabbed a hold of the AWM, he felt like he was scalded by its heat. After taking a few steps with it, he couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Xiao Yan¡­ How about I trade my AWM for your Mini14 bei?¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°No need, you keep it.¡± [Has an AWM, and still wants a barren Mini14. Can we be a little more promising?] [Just now you threatened to kill him and take his gun, but now you don¡¯t even want an AWM??] ¡°For the final circle, I don¡¯t like using a sniper rifle. It¡¯s just a personal preference.¡± After the exnation, he caught sight of a moving figure not too far away. He raised his gun, peeked and immediately produced a burst of gunfire. From the viewers¡¯ perspective, his gun had very little recoil. The lines in the barrage increased rapidly when the kill feed appeared. [The anchor¡¯s gun seems to have no recoil. ] [Came over fromoshu¡¯s stream, this anchor doesn¡¯t seem to be as good asoshu.] [Why are we seeing such ament in front? If I remember correctly, didn¡¯t this anchor just beatoshu to death?? Fans talking like this, don¡¯t you blush at all?] [Going to call a spade a spade. If this anchor is so strong, why would he just be nesting in this little stream? Why not y inpetitions?] ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t just look at me from just one point of view.¡± The sound of gunfire had exposed his position, and Yu Yan held his breath as he reloaded, not daring to ck off at all. His tone was still leisurely as he said, ¡°Wait until you see me move my gun and sweep the car, you¡¯ll understand just how strong I am then.¡± At the other end, Yi Chen had taken off his headphones, turned on the speakers, and was slowly untying his tie. Hearing these words, heughed for no reason. His ability to talk glibly was also very strong. After killing that person, there were only 6 yers remaining. The game¡¯s sound effects went silent for half a minute and Yu Yan pursed his lips. ¡°I feel like there¡¯s still a whole team alive.¡± Lu Xiuhe froze. ¡°No way ba?¡± He actually had high hopes of eating chicken this game! ¡°No gunfire, no footsteps, no people.¡± The circle was already so small that he could easily see half of the circle within his field of view. If the other people weren¡¯t in a team, he should¡¯ve run into them by now. As soon as he said that, a shot broke out on the left side. Lu Xiuhe shouted, ¡°I see someone!¡± Yu Yan hurriedly said, ¡°Wait, don¡¯t shoot¡­¡± It was a pity that he said it toote. Lu Xiuhe had already stretched forward and opened fire, knocking the person down. Meanwhile, Lu Xiuhe¡¯s gunfire hadpletely exposed his position. Countless bullets flew at him, and his knock-down notification appeared almost at the same time as the enemy¡¯s knock-down message. Lu Xiuhe eximed, ¡°Fuck me!¡± ¡°They¡¯re trying to lure us out.¡± Yu Yanid on the ground, used an adrenaline syringe andpletely filled his boost bar. ¡°Can¡¯t save you.¡± ¡°I know, don¡¯te and save me.¡± Lu Xiuhe clicked his tongue in chagrin. ¡°Ah, my fault, couldn¡¯t resist.¡± ¡°No problem.¡± Most people in the final circle would reflexively shoot an enemy on sight. If he hadn¡¯t realized there was still a full team left, he would also have fired. The other side seemed to be very patient. Lu Xiuhe crawled behind a tree to hide, and the enemy didn¡¯t seem eager toe up and finish him off either. Lu Xiuhe looked at his red health bar growing lower and lower, and said, ¡°It¡¯s over Xiao Yan, I didn¡¯t manage to finish him off directly.¡± He meant that the person he had just knocked down had been revived by his teammates. Now the situation was 4 against 1. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Yu Yan rxed his brows.. The barrage was full of backseat gamers, who were all lecturing him about how he should y in the finals. He opened his inventory and saw that he had four frag grenades. Not bad. Thankfully, he had just looted a few of them fromoshu¡¯s inventory, otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have had a chance to fight back. ¡°Everyone sit up straight and watch.¡± He took out a frag grenade and pulled out the pin. ¡°I¡¯ll teach you all how to throw frag grenades.¡± ¡°If it doesn¡¯t blow anyone up in a moment, then pretend I didn¡¯t say anything.¡± He turned to the direction that Lu Xiuhe had just reported to him and threw a frag grenade. Boom¡ª No kill notifications popped up. [Nothing happened.] [Everyone survived.] Yu Yan exined, ¡°Toss the frag grenade into the possible area of where the enemy is. After you toss the first one, you have to quickly follow up with a second one, the distance being¡­ just a bit further than where I tossed before.¡± While talking, the second grenade was thrown out. An explosion sounded. [You knocked down HUMI666 with a frag grenade] ¡°Then for the third one, wait ten seconds.¡± He spoke slowly. Ten secondster, he pulled out the pin again. ¡°The circle boundary is on the left, so we¡¯ll toss this one to the right of the second one¡¯s position¡­ About there.¡± The frag grenade was thrown out in a specific arc. [You knocked down SHIJINSHIZHU with a frag grenade] [666666] [Did you hear that?? Quickly take notes!] [What¡¯s the principle behind this? Can a pro exin this?] [What about the fourth one? ] ¡°This method only works in the final circle. You guys just watch and learn. In the case where you don¡¯t blow anyone up, then you guys didn¡¯t learn the key points. Don¡¯t me me for that¡­¡± During this conversation, two game avatars suddenly appeared in his sight¡ªthe enemy was at the end of their patience, and didn¡¯t want to get grenades thrown at them anymore. They were ready to just fight 2 against 1. ¡°No need to learn how to throw the fourth one¡­ In the final circle, if you¡¯re fighting 4 against 1, you have an 80% chance of not being able to throw your fourth frag grenade.¡± With that, he quickly peeked, opened his red dot sight and started firing! Sadly, the enemy was wearing a level 3 helmet. Although green blood sshed out, they didn¡¯t get knocked down. Not to mention, the other side had already figured out his location a while ago, and so both yers came up to shoot at him with big pineapples, which was totally unreasonable. The stream viewers were still immersed in this brief gunfight, when the anchor¡¯s page suddenly turned gray. ¡ª¡ªDefinitely will eat chicken next time!! [A round of y as fierce as a tiger. In the end however, only a chicken butt is eaten.] [Throw grenades, my ass. In such a small circle, the enemies will all be hiding under the slope. Couldn¡¯t you hit all of them with the first grenade?] [1 vs. 4, fighting up to this point is already good. If you can do it, you go ah.] Yu Yan nced at the barrage and didn¡¯t respond. He had already tried his best. This game was no different than any other shooter. Four enemies, even if all of them were just carrying a rifle they found on the ground, his odds wouldn¡¯t be very good. ¡°Bro, you¡¯re awesome!¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Not eating chicken is still awesome!¡± When they returned to the game lobby, after Lu Xiuhe saw 1¡¯s avatar, he thought of something. ¡°By the way, Xiao Yan, don¡¯t forget to turn off the boss¡¯ open mic.¡± Yu Yan really wanted to take the bus to go turn off Lu Xiuhe¡¯sputer. ¡°No need.¡± The man¡¯s distant voice got closer, ¡°I¡¯ll turn it off myself.¡± Yu Yan thus watched the green mic icon in front of the yellow mod vest icon swish and disappear. Sitting back down in front of hisputer, Yi Chen saw a small envelope shing in the lower right corner of the livestream webpage. He raised his eyebrows and pressed the left mouse button to open it. [Administrator 03: Hello President Yi! The avable bnce for your ount has been adjusted to the maximum limit. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me through the envelope at the bottom right corner. I¡¯ll absolutely be ready to help you.] His assistant had registered his ount for him. He didn¡¯t expect the assistant to make the mistake of directly giving his username to the StarTV branch. ¡°ying, streaming until ten o¡¯clock this evening.¡± Once again, the little anchor¡¯s voice rang out, but then he paused and asked, ¡°1¡­ Boss, are you still ying?¡± Yi Chen directly closed the private message. After not receiving a reply for a while, Yu Yan thought that the other side had closed his mic. He said, ¡°If you¡¯re ying, then you can directly¡­¡± ¡°ying.¡± The mic icon beside yii11c suddenly shed, and the game avatar immediately got ready. ¡°Let¡¯s go ba.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Hahahaoshu, that¡¯s what you get! Cheaters never prosper! Divi: Assistant: Holy shitoshu you¡¯re dead, stop talking!!! Hope Yanyan gets to p him more. I¡¯m d the author does show realistic PUBG situations. Even the pros can¡¯t always win! Chapter 17 - I just like to play with No. 2 Chapter 17 - I just like to y with No. 2 Edited by Divetus and Noks Just as he was about to start the match, Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°Xiao Yan, did you receive a friend request from that No. 4 ah?¡± Yu Yan reflexively looked at the right side of the screen. ¡°Don¡¯t know.¡± His game ID was disyed on his livestream page, so many stream followers would add him whenever they saw any open spots during a match. Plenty of friend requests just shed by, and he absolutely wasn¡¯t attentive to them at all. As he said that, he directly clicked on the match button and almost instantaneously entered Manners za. ¡°All right ba, then I¡¯ll also reject his request.¡± Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°Where are we jumping to this time?¡± Yu Yan looked at the map. ¡°Shelter?¡± Lu Xiuhe whined, ¡°Why are we going there¡­ Alright ba.¡± After waiting for a bit and seeing that Boss had no objections, Yu Yan dropped a marker onto Shelter. A few secondster, the randomly matched teammate No. 3 spoke. ¡°Ah? Why are wending at Shelter ya¡­¡± It was a girl¡¯s voice. Her ya trailed for a long time, with a bit of coquettishness. ¡°I have no sense of direction ah.¡± Shelter had several different exits and connected tunnels within the base. The terrain of the tunnel wasplex, and it was easy for teammates to identally part ways. [WTF, another girl?? What kind of luck does this anchor have? We¡¯re ying a game here?] [What¡¯s good about a girl? I don¡¯t want to be matched with women. It¡¯s basically three against four now.] [Something wrong with the previous person¡¯s brain? What¡¯s bad about a girl, if there weren¡¯t any girls, would you exist, bastard?] [Still getting lost in Shelter? With 50 hours of ytime? It¡¯s over. I feel that the anchor has brought two cute newbies into this match.] Lu Xiuhe coughed and said in a deep voice, ¡°It¡¯s okay, girl. I¡¯m here.¡± Yu Yanughed and didn¡¯t continue the conversation. Afternding, he found that 1 had justnded beside him, while Lu Xiuhe and No. 3 were still floating in the sky. He had peeked at 1¡¯s profile information in the game lobby, and he had really only yed for a few hours. In just a dozen matches or so, he already had a better grasp at skydiving than Lu Xiuhe, who had yed for over 600 hours. The two of them entered a tunnel together. As soon as they entered, they saw an M16A4 ced on top of many sundries. Yu Yan¡¯s game character paused for a bit before bumping around, ready to leave that spot. ¡°You take it.¡± Yi Chen understood the other party¡¯s intent to let him have the gun, and directly said, ¡°It¡¯s more useful to you.¡± As soon as his voice fell, the sound of intense gunfire rang out around them. There weren¡¯t many people in the Shelter, but that didn¡¯t mean it was empty. Yu Yan hesitated, but then picked up the gun, ¡°Okay.¡± No. 3 suddenly made a small ¡°wow¡± sound. Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± The girl only spoke again after quite a while. ¡°Nothing¡­¡± She asked, ¡°No. 1¡¯s voice is so good. Are you a voice actor?¡± Following that, the team voice channel was immediately thrown into a very awkward minute of silence. ¡°No, haha.¡± Lu Xiuhe mediated, and then asked, ¡°Do you guys have anyone over there?¡± ¡°No one over here.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Gunfire was on the right, be careful when you pass by. What did you pick up?¡± Lu Xiuhe, who was afraid of being robbed, didn¡¯t even think before saying, ¡°Laozi¡¯s definitely not telling you!¡± Yu Yan picked up an M4. Holding two guns should be considered a level ying field. He nced at his ammo and thought that there was enough, so he directly ran to the source of the gunshots. ¡°You guys can search first. I¡¯ll go clear out the people on the right.¡± ¡°Ah, together ah.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°I¡¯ming!¡± A lot of people had jumped to Shelter this match. Including themselves, there seemed to be at least three teams. Yu Yan had walked to another tunnel when he was ambushed by an enemy hiding behind the sundries, resulting in him being shot and injured. Lu Xiuhe only managed to arrive at this time. ¡°Where are they? Where are the people?¡± ¡°On the opposite side of us, behind those things.¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Do you have any meds?¡± ¡°A first-aid kit.¡± Lu Xiuhe paused and added, ¡°Only have one.¡± ¡°Impossible.¡± Yu Yan lied through his teeth, ¡°I saw you pick up three.¡± ¡°Bullshit! I only picked up two. What eyes did you use to see me pick up three??¡± [ Bait sessful!!] [The anchor is really crafty lolololol] Yu Yanughed, ¡°Give them all to me. When I¡¯ve cleared out everyone, I¡¯ll give you back four.¡± Lu Xiuhe: ¡°??¡± Lu Xiuhe spat out, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m stupid or something? I¡¯m not stupid enough to fall into the same pit twice!¡± Ten secondster, Yu Yan picked up two first-aid kits from the ground and healed himself back to 75% health. Lu Xiuhe had arrived just in time. The enemy behind the sundries on the opposite side didn¡¯t seem to be with his teammates, since so much time had passed but he still hadn¡¯t dared to attack him. Yu Yan said, ¡°I¡¯ll go up first, and you follow me.¡± ¡°No problem!¡± After that, Yu Yan unexpectedly rushed up without any hesitation. The other side immediately returned fire. Countless bullets flew at him as his health bar reached the critically red stage. His game character quickly jumped up and shifted the trajectory of the shots to fall downwards¡ª¡ª [You knocked down KKKUNZI17 with an M416] Victory with just a sliver of health left. He went up to finish off the enemy and asked, ¡°Did you miss a shot?¡± Lu Xiuhe questioned, ¡°How could that be?¡± ¡°I saw everything.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe retorted, ¡°Wasn¡¯t it because you were in front of me? I was afraid of identally hurting you, that wouldn¡¯t have been good.¡± Yu Yan had simultaneously finished the enemy off and then opened their lootbox, looting every item. It was quite a fat box. Lu Xiuhe, who was following closely behind, looked dumbstruck. ¡°Holy crap, are you the devil? Where¡¯s the loot?¡± ¡°He didn¡¯t have anything.¡± Tossing out this sentence, Yu Yan didn¡¯t even look back as he turned around to leave. ¡°Not even any first-aid kits? Weren¡¯t you going to pay me back with four of them?¡± ¡°There¡¯s not even one.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s face wasn¡¯t red, and his heartbeat was steady. ¡°I only grabbed ten bandages. Do you want them, I¡¯ll give you eight.¡± Lu Xiuhe responded, ¡°Good bro!¡± [lololololololol I¡¯m faint withughter] [Obviously just looted three first aid kits from the lootbox just now lolololololol] [Extremely emotional brotherhood!] Yu Yan continued moving right, and not unexpectedly, ran into two teams. However, there had already been a battle between the two teams that had left few survivors, thus he barely had to spend any effort in cleaning up all the remaining people. ¡°Umm,¡± No. 3 asked, ¡°Has everyone been cleaned up?¡± Yu Yan responded, ¡°Still don¡¯t know yet.¡± ¡°Can you pick me up first?¡± No. 3 asked in an aggrieved tone, ¡°I¡¯m lost.¡± At this time, a shot suddenly rang out on the left. It was just one shot, followed by silence. It didn¡¯t sound like a sniper rifle, and eight or nine times out of ten, it was just an idental discharge of a weapon. The source of the sound came from the left. Yu Yan nced at the map and saw that 1¡¯s position was also on the left side. ¡°You can walk around by yourself and take the first exit you see ba.¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t hesitate running to the left. ¡°But I heard a gunshot, I don¡¯t dare to move¡­¡± ¡°Then, you can hide behind the boxes and go outter.¡± ¡°¡­¡± [???] [At this time, shouldn¡¯t you immediately rush to the girl¡¯s side?] [The anchor is too straightba. First, pick up the girl and then you can go to kill people ba.] While talking, Yu Yan had already run to 1¡¯s side. ¡°I heard something.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Footsteps, ahead.¡± Yu Yan was briefly taken aback and answered, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go and have a look¡­¡± ¡°Wait.¡± With a crisp sound, an AKM appeared on the ground. ¡°Don¡¯t you prefer using this gun ba.¡± When he watched the little anchor¡¯s livestream, he noticed that this gun would basically be carried into the finals. Yu Yan really did like using the AKM¡ªit had arge recoil, but that didn¡¯t impact him at all. In addition, he could kill people with level 3 helmets in just two shots and then use the AKM to snipe people in the ah!] Yu Yan replied, ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°¡­ Then I¡¯ll take it.¡± He threw the M416 directly onto the ground and quickly picked up the AKM. ¡°The M416 is missing a muzzle, but you can go ahead and use it.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± [???] [?? What is this? Boss, is this a new method to cheat people out of their gun?] [Actually, the AKM really is better than an M4. All the more skilled yers prefer to use the AKM.] Yu Yan didn¡¯t care about reading the barrage at all. Carrying the AKM, he rushed to the left of the Shelter area and finished the enemy off with a few shots. In the semi-final round, a ne roared past. Yu Yan opened his scope and saw an airdrop box that was falling slowly. ¡°Fuck, our faces are about to smash into it. Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. If we don¡¯t loot this airdrop, we¡¯re not human.¡± Lu Xiuhe excitedly eximed. The airdrop ended upnding in a very friendly position. It was just about ten meters away from the edge of the poison circle. At this time, the next circle was about to appear. Everyone was basically busy outrunning the poison circle and iming positions. It would be effortless for them to grab this airdrop. Yu Yan was the first one to arrive at the airdrop box, but after taking just a nce at it, he turned around to run away. Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Fuck, it couldn¡¯t that you already finished looting everything ba? At least leave some for the girl ah.¡± No. 3 said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I don¡¯t need anything¡­¡± [Saying I don¡¯t need anything¡­ What does a 0 kill mobile lootbox expect?] Lu Xiuhe ran to the airdrop box and said, ¡°Eh? Xiao Yan, you didn¡¯t even pick up the dog mix?¡± The dog mix, GROZA, was considered the evolved form of the AKM. Compared to the AKM, it dealt more damage but had arger recoil. Newbies basically couldn¡¯t use it. ¡°Didn¡¯t pick it up.¡± Yu Yan licked his lips. ¡°¡­ This AKM is already good enough.¡± ¡°Good, what¡¯s good ah. You usually loot faster than anyone¡­ Come back and pick it up, we¡¯re all depending on you to eat chicken.¡± ¡°No need.¡± As he finished saying that, Yu Yan seemed to think of something. ¡°1, do you want to use the GROZA? It¡¯s an airdrop gun with high damage.¡± ¡°I also don¡¯t need it.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°The gun you gave me is very stable. I¡¯ll get used to it first.¡± Bang¡ª A shot rang out, followed by No. 3¡¯s voice, ¡°Ahhhhhh!! Someone¡¯s sniping at me!¡± As soon as her voice fell, No. 3 was knocked down. Yu Yan found cover behind a tree and opened his scope to look for the other yers. ¡°You guys lingered too long at the airdrop location.¡± ¡°Sorry ah.¡± No. 3 lowered her voice and said in an aggrieved tone, ¡°No. 4, can you help me?¡± Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t even think about it. ¡°Coming!¡± Yet, in the end, he only got to run two steps before another gunshot resounded. Lu Xiuhe had also gotten sniped by the enemy. ¡°Fuck me¡­¡± No. 3 asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you dodge while running? Umm, No. 1, No. 2¡­ Can you pull me up?¡± Yu Yan found the enemy¡¯s position, shot, and missed. ¡°It¡¯s not easy to pull you up from your position. There are two enemies sandwiching you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. If you run unpredictably, or jump while running, it won¡¯t be that easy to knock you down.¡± No. 3 dragged her voice. ¡°Then, can No. 1e?¡± Didn¡¯t get a response whatsoever. Yu Yan pursed his lips and didn¡¯t say anything more, calmly waiting for the other side to show his head. The enemy was evidently an expert. Knowing that Yu Yan was aiming at him, he also didn¡¯t hurry to expose himself and just hid behind the tree, waiting for Yu Yan to jump out to strike. No. 3 finally bled to death. She sighed and murmured, ¡°Forget it. If you don¡¯t pull me up, you don¡¯t pull me up ba.¡± At this time, the opposite side finally showed his head. Yu Yan fired two shots and destroyed his level 3 helmet. Simultaneously, a gunshot was fired from his side. [Yii11c knocked down Lucifer-88 with an M416] Taking advantage of the gap that Yu Yan had created by destroying the enemy¡¯s helmet, 1 promptly shot at the enemy from another angle. ¡°Nice!¡± No. 3 said, ¡°No. 1 little Gege is so powerful!¡± Yu Yan also wanted to say something, but was blocked by No. 3. He pursed his lips and proceeded to open his scope again. Yi Chenplimented, ¡°Those two shots were beautiful.¡± Yu Yan froze and couldn¡¯t resist raising the corners of his mouth. ¡°Your shot was also beautiful.¡± ¡°No. 1 little Gege, add me as a friend after this?¡± No. 3 continued, ¡°Let¡¯s y togetherter ya.¡± [You¡¯re going that far No. 3? Not clinging to No. 2¡¯s thigh, but intent on harassing Boss, why?] [Worth it!! From Boss¡¯ voice !!! I could get pregnant on the spot !!!] [Previous poster is too disturbing ba?] [There¡¯s something even more disturbing. I opened up his profile and found he¡¯s actually a man.] Yi Chen didn¡¯t seem to hear No. 3 and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s the other remaining person?¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°¡­ Behind the stone nearby?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Hello?¡± When she didn¡¯t get a response, No. 3 asked, ¡°Can you hear me? Is my mic broken?¡± Yi Chen responded, ¡°Not adding you.¡± ¡°¡­¡± No. 3 didn¡¯t expect to be rejected and perhaps felt a bit disgraced. She asked with a dryugh, ¡°Why ya?¡± ¡°You¡¯re too noisy.¡± With that, Yi Chen paused, and said in a bantering tone, ¡°And¡­ I just like to y with No. 2. No. 2, add me as a friend after this?¡± Yu Yan was caught off guard by this cue. Adding on the effect of the powerful surround sound of his earphones, his hands shook, and bang¡ªhe had fired the gun identally. ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Will add.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: ¡­so I tried to like No. 3 at first, but she was kind of obnoxious in the end. Yanyan was so cute though, insisting on toting around Boss Yi¡¯s AKM even when he had better options. Divi: No.3, the typical useless damsel in distress. Lu Xiuhe, the sucker. LMAO. Stop trying to hit on boys when you suck, it only works on thirsty boys!! Yanyan tho, should¡¯ve taken the GROZA, it¡¯s an everything better version of the AKM. Noks: +1, Lu Xiuhe really is a sucker¡­ Hahaha. I love the way Yanyan bullies him. Chapter 18 - Who this sacred female anchor is Chapter 18 - Who this sacred female anchor is Edited by Divetus and Noks The three of them yed consecutive matches until 11:00 p.m. Lu Xiuhe was the first to ask, ¡°Xiao Yan, you¡¯re still not done livestreaming ah?¡± Only then did Yu Yan discover that it was already time to end his livestream. ¡°¡­How about we stream one more match?¡± ¡°Okay ah, then keep going.¡± Yi Chen nced at his watch and unexpectedly raised his eyebrows. As expected, time really flies by while ying games. He had an overseas video conference in half an hour. ¡°You guys y, I still have some business. Going to leave first.¡± Yu Yan paused his action of clicking on the match button and hurriedly replied, ¡°Okay.¡± When he finished saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and quickly opened the livestream app on his phone. yanxyan: You¡¯ve sent enough meteor showers from before. If you want to y, please send me a private message at any time, and I¡¯ll let you jump the queue! yanxyan: Don¡¯t smash presents anymore. Yi Chen paused his action of sending gifts for only two seconds upon reading the message, before just going ahead and pressing the ¡°give¡± button. The livestream received another meteor shower. Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± [Boss is so generous!] [Boss is using his own strength to support the whole stream by himself] [Is this a nurturing boss? Every time Ie here, he puts in 2000. Boss, can you keep it up?] 1: It¡¯s fine. Logging off, you y slowly. Yu Yan was still in a dumbfounded state. He only saw that the other party¡¯s ID had instantly turned grey and he had immediately gone offline. Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°Is Boss there? Are youcking people hanging off your leg? Like the kind that just graduated from undergrad.¡± As soon as Lu Xiuhe¡¯s voice fell, Yi Chen¡¯s game avatar also went offline. ¡°Fuck me, 1 is truly a noveau riche. Smashing meteor showers every time hees in. If he continues to do this a few more times, wouldn¡¯t we suddenly be rich?¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Xiao Yan,e on ba, let¡¯s continue.¡± Yu Yan snapped out of it and said, ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s stop streaming here for today ba. We¡¯ll y again tomorrow.¡± Lu Xiuhe: ¡°?¡± [???] [Didn¡¯t you just say that you were going to stream one more match?] ¡°After a whole day of streaming, my eyes are a little tired.¡± Yu Yan closed the game. ¡°Tomorrow ba, sorry.¡± His livestream hours were considered very long amongst all the anchors. From morning to night, except for the meal times in the middle, he would basically just sit at theputer table. So the audience didn¡¯t try to embarrass him any more. A string of ¡°888¡± appeared on the barrage. As he just prepared to end the stream, a string of bright words suddenly appeared in the stream. [Autumn Will No Longer Come has sent a little star] Seeing the familiar name, Yu Yan paused a bit and after a while said, ¡°Thank you for the little star, Autumn Will No Longer Come.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the other party popped up in the chat. Because he had spent a decent amount of money on StarTV, his ID was quite colorful. Autumn Will No Longer Come: Xiao Yan Ge, it really is you! I saw the yanxyan ID outside but I didn¡¯t dare to believe it was you. Good luck with your livestream ah! ¡°Thank you.¡± Immediately, a group of people who wanted to tter this new boss started spamming the barrage. Autumn seemed used to this kind of scene and just continued to publically chat with him. Autumn Will No Longer Come: You¡¯re wee, are you going to stop streaming soon? ¡°Yes.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°If you want to eat chicken, I¡¯ll bring you along tomorrow?¡± Autumn Will No Longer Come: Okay ah, let¡¯s talk about it tomorrow ba. I have something I need to talk to you about now. Let¡¯s talk on QQter? When Yu Yan thought back to the other party¡¯s invitation to start livestreaming and also his refusal, he felt quite embarrassed to identally run into him. Yu Yan hesitated for a few moments. ¡°¡­Okay.¡± He turned off theputer and saw that the other party still hadn¡¯t sent a message, so he resolutely grabbed his clothes to go take a bath first. Once he came out, Autumn really dide to find him. Autumn Will No Longer Come: Xiao Yan Ge, you there? Yu Yan: Yes, what did you want to talk about? Autumn Will No Longer Come: Haha, I¡¯m just curious. Didn¡¯t you say you didn¡¯t want to livestream? Yu Yan was obliged to bite the bullet and exin: Actually, before you mentioned this to me, I had already sent my resume to StarTV. Autumn Will No Longer Come: Ah, so it was like that. You could¡¯ve told me so. Those two girls who used to y with us have constantly asked me about you every day. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll tell them in a bit that you¡¯re livestreaming now. Tomorrow, they¡¯ll definitelye to the stream to send you gifts! Yu Yan: No need, no need. I¡¯m just here for the base sry. Autumn Will No Longer Come: You¡¯ve only been streaming for a few days, and you already have over 40,000 followers, and more than 7000 live viewers. Just here for the base sry?? You¡¯re making fun of me. Autumn Will No Longer Come: Your numbers should be the best in the sponsored anchor program right now ba? Yu Yan fingers paused while typing out his reply. How did Autumn know about the sponsored anchor program? This program was just StarTV¡¯s new trial project; since no one knew how well it would do, the tform didn¡¯t even have ads about it in the app or the webpage. It was impossible for viewers to know about it. He thought of that and asked. Yu Yan: You know about this program? Autumn Will No Longer Come: Of course I know about it, I¡¯ve been on StarTV for so long. By the way, what¡¯s your rtionship with that Boss 1 ah? Yu Yan: ¡­The rtionship between an anchor and a viewer. Autumn Will No Longer Come: Really? And he¡¯s so willing to give you money ah? So when you came to StarTV, you didn¡¯t make any preparations in advance? Yu Yan: What preparations? Autumn Will No Longer Come: Ah, forget it, let me tell it to you straight ba. We¡¯ve yed together for so long, I don¡¯t want to keep running around in circles. Autumn Will No Longer Come: Do you remember what I mentioned to you before, the livestream offer? That was me asking on behalf of a friend, because he knew of this program ahead of time and wanted to arrange some of his own people to get the sponsorships. After all, fertile water shouldn¡¯t flow into others¡¯ fields. That friend of mine was banana. Yu Yan: ¡­. Autumn Will No Longer Come: Thatoshu who¡¯s currentlypeting with you, he was arranged by banana. You should¡¯ve heard of him ba? His numbers are also good, but most of his viewers are being pulled with red envelopes. Once the red envelopes stop, more than half the viewers will run away¡­ I digress. I¡¯m just asking you now, do you have any inclinations to cooperate with a big anchor? You should also know of banana¡¯s influence. If he queued with you, you¡¯d definitely gain a lot of fans. At that time, you andoshu could do duos or squads as well. If the coboration goes well, you¡¯ll also increase your following. Yu Yan: No need. Autumn Will No Longer Come: Already clearly thought about it? Think about it some more ah, no matter how many followers you have, the most important thing is to build an anchor circle¡­ Autumn pressed on, wanting to continue to persuade him. Yu Yan: I just had an intense cursing match withoshu tonight. Autumn Will No Longer Come: ? Yu Yan: At the end, I whipped his corpse until the helmet was destroyed. Autumn Will No Longer Come: ??? Yu Yan looked at these question marks and couldn¡¯t help yawning. Yu Yan: If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯m going to rest first. Tomorrow, if you want to y¡­ Directlye to the stream and call on me. After his cursory reply, he didn¡¯t wait for Autumn¡¯s response before turning off QQ. *** The next day, as soon as he left thepany in the afternoon, Yi Chen directly returned to the Yi family residence. At this time, the residence waspletely lit up. Looking in from the window, you could easily see how lively it was. ¡°A¡¯Chen!¡± A middle-aged woman wearing a long, elegant dress saw him and immediately put down the winess in her hand to wee him. She angrily scolded, ¡°I even gave you a notice in advance, why is it that you still came sote?¡± ¡°Mom.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°There was some trouble during the meeting.¡± ¡°Go and say hello to your dad. He has specially brought a gift back for you from abroad.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± As soon as Yi Chen walked into the study, he saw his father with his back to him, hammering at a picture frame. Hearing the noise, Father Yi immediately turned around. ¡°Came back? Come on, I went to see the sunrise with your mom and painted it for you. Look, do you like it?¡± Yi Chen nced at it and said, ¡°Like it.¡± ¡°As long as you like it. After we finish eating, remember to take it back with you and hang it up somewhere.¡± After he finished arranging the painting, Father Yi came forward and patted him on the shoulder. ¡°Let¡¯s go out ba, and say hello to the others.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s smile dimmed a bit, but it wasn¡¯t obvious. The Yi family had been doing business for generations, with each generation being more promising than thest. In Father Yi¡¯s generation, thepany had already grown tremendously. Unfortunately, Father Yi had no interest in business; he instead preferred to dabble in the arts. Additionally, Mother Yi was an excellent dancer. After they got married, Father Yi gave up the idea of inheriting thepany. It was at this time that Yi Chen was born. Old man Yi, who hated that iron couldn¡¯t turn into steel, ced all his hopes on this grandson. Yi Chen didn¡¯t fail to live up to his expectations and became the youngest leader of the Yi family. Unfortunately, the Yi family had many rtives. Everyone wanted toe up and take a bite, but one bite wasn¡¯t actually enough¡ªthey even wanted to swallow the whole Yi family. Father Yi was indifferent to all this. He even felt that it would be good to leave thepany to others, then he could run and move the whole family off to a utopia to live out a leisurely life. As the direct sessor of thepany however, Yi Chen was already distinctly aware that, even if you wanted to be a hands-off manager, others wouldn¡¯t do as you wish. Rather than being weak and at the mercy of others, it was better to stand in a high ce and let everyone somewhat fear him. Therefore, after Old man Yi passed away, Yi Chen had propped up the Yida Group by himself. Within a few years, by using powerful means, he had managed to soothe out the family¡¯s internal conflicts and firmly protect his parents behind him. When he walked out of the room, all of his rtives seemed to have their eyes on him. Yi Chen had gotten used to this a long time ago. After he had dealt with them one by one, they had pretty much scattered. ¡°It¡¯s already sote. You might as well stay here tonight ba.¡± Mother Yi suggested. ¡°No, there¡¯s still a meeting in the evening.¡± Mother Yi sighed, ¡°Really you¡­ can you ever finish making money? Health is still the most important thing, don¡¯t work sote so often.¡± Yi Chen said okay, and left the residence after saying goodbye to his parents. But when he reached the door of his house, he realized that the lights inside were on. Yi Chen¡¯s assistant had been by his side for a long time and already knew that Yi Chen didn¡¯t easily take people home, let alone tell others his door¡¯s lock code. So he asked, ¡°President Yi, do you want me to go in with you?¡± ¡°No need.¡± Yi Chen raised his foot and entered the house. ¡°You go back ba.¡± He opened the door, grabbed a long handled umbre from beside the door and was on guard. ¡°Bro, pull me up, pull me up¡ªa mistake! I¡¯m using my 4G data to connect, it¡¯s tooggy! No other way, I don¡¯t know my Ge¡¯s home WiFi password ah!¡± Hearing the sound of the door, Yi Ran, who was sitting on the sofa, met Yi Chen¡¯s gaze. ¡°¡­ No, don¡¯t pull me up! My Ge is back, you guys fight first ah!¡± Yi Chen threw his umbre aside and frowned. ¡°How did you know my door¡¯s lock code?¡± ¡°I identally saw it thest time you typed it in.¡± Yi Ran said, ¡°Really saw it by ident! Not on purpose!¡± Yi Chen went into the study and started unbuttoning his suit. ¡°Scram.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t ah, Ge, take me in for a few days, just a few days!¡± ¡°Spent all the money?¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s just that I can¡¯t get a room right now. My father¡¯s searching for me using my ID card.¡± ¡°Then you can sleep on the street.¡± ¡°Ge¡­¡± Yi Ran desperately squeezed out a few tears and gripped hisptop tightly. ¡°You know my father¡¯s a nut case. It¡¯s fine if he doesn¡¯t let me y with cars or watches, but he¡¯s still trying to force me to get married every day. I¡¯m really going to fall into depression because of him.¡± Recalling the sight of his uncle¡¯s furious expression at the Yi residence, Yi Chen continued and hissed, ¡°If even you got depressed, then there would be no normal people in the world.¡± Yi Ran was still racking his brain, trying to think up ways of seeming even more pitiful. He suddenly heard a click, and a cellphonended on the ss table in front of him. ¡°Just three days.¡± Yi Chen took his bathrobe and simply said, ¡°Scram to the guest room to sleep.¡± Yi Ran¡¯s tears instantly receded. ¡°Okay Ge! I love you, Ge!¡± After entering the bathroom, Yi Chen took a look at the time before he took off his watch. 10 p.m. After taking a bath, he would still be able to y a match with the little anchor. ¡ª Yi Ran didn¡¯t expect that the other side would give in so quickly. He was about to happily y his next match, when the cellphone in front of him suddenly dinged. He reflexively looked at it and found that it was a push notification. [StarTV: Respected Star Emissary 1, the PUBG anchor you are following, yanxyan, is carrying out a ¡°stream follower lottery¡± activity, click to enter.] Yi Ran¡¯s eyes widened. He went back and forth and carefully looked at it three times¡ª¡ª Anchor? Star Emissary?? Stream follower lottery??? What the fuck???? In the game, his friend was urging him. ¡°Are you done, Yi Ran? Ready up ah.¡± ¡°Holy shit¡­ I¡¯m not going to y right now!¡± ¡°Why, did your Ge change his mind and is going to kick you out?¡± ¡°No¡ª¡± Yi Ran acted as if he had discovered some big secret. He stared at the bathroom door for a long time. Only after he had ascertained that the person inside wouldn¡¯te out for a while did he scoot closer to hisptop and lowered his voice, gossiping¡ª¡ª ¡°My Ge seems to be interested in some female anchor. After only ying the game for two or three days, he threw several thousand yuan in gifts to that person!¡± ¡°Several thousand yuan is nothing to your Ge¡­¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t your Chinese teacher teach you to focus on the key points?! Did you think it was the several thousand yuan I wanted to talk about?! Ah?!¡± In the end, Yi Ran couldn¡¯t help it. ¡°No, it¡¯s too exciting! I have to see who this sacred female anchor is!¡± ¡ª Juurensha: It¡¯s honestly kind of funny to me that Boss Yi¡¯s parents are basically bohemian artists. And Yi Ran is going to be so surprised¡­. Divi: Poor Boss Yi, have to shoulder the burden cause the parents wanted to be carefree. y y with Yanyan more! How shocked is Yi Ran going to be?? Chapter 19 - Where are we jumping, little anchor? Chapter 19 - Where are we jumping, little anchor? Edited by Divetus and Noks When Yi Ran entered the livestream, the anchor was ying PUBG. As he watched, the circumstances looked like someone had raided the building the anchor was in. And the anchor¡­ was the only one left alive on his team. ¡°Xiao Yan, there¡¯s still another person! It¡¯s the only person remaining!¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s voice resounded through the stream. ¡°I saw them.¡± ¡°That person is still trying to attack¡ªthey tossed a grenade, and another grenade!! You should hide for a bit, hide and then face him after!¡± Yu Yan suddenly put away his gun, turned around, and ran further into the house. [??? Why¡¯s he running away?] [You¡¯ve already killed two of the three people who raided the building, being scared like this makes no sense ah.] ¡°Not scared.¡± They watched as he opened the settings and directly blocked his teammates¡¯ voice channel. ¡°Lu Xiuhe was infected by some strangers a few days ago. He¡¯s being so noisy that I can¡¯t hear any footsteps.¡± As soon as he finished saying that, the sound of hasty footsteps was heard. It didn¡¯t sound too far away, but it also didn¡¯t sound like it came from inside a room. Yu Yan raised his eyebrows. ¡°He¡¯s noting up?¡± [The moral of the story¡ªDon¡¯t try to raid a building unless you know how to throw grenades. That team has tossed at least five frag grenades by now ba? And didn¡¯t manage to hit anything with a single one, what shitty skills.] [It was mainly due to the fact that during their first attempt to raid the building, the anchor killed one of them. This made the opponents so scared that they didn¡¯t dare to try rushing in directly.] [They¡¯ve already let two of their teammates fall to your hands, yet they¡¯re still attacking this barrennd lololol.] After blocking the team voice channel, his ears finally had some peace and quiet. Yu Yan quickly nced at the barrage, but then, from the corner of his eye, saw that the enemy was preparing to escape. He didn¡¯t hesitate to jump out of the window to get downstairs. ¡°Not attacking? I won¡¯t allow it.¡± Just as he finished speaking, his game avatar dropped from the sky. His action of pointing the gun¡¯s muzzle downwards was very skilled, and his shots, fired with almost no hesitation, were crisp. Despite being in a mid-air jump, his gun¡¯s aim was very stable. The opponent hadn¡¯t expected that he¡¯d dare to jump down like this, and only managed to react after eating a few bullets. However, as soon as the opponent was about to take out his gun, he was knocked down. At the same time, Yu Yan¡¯s screen immediately had a line of white words appear. [You eliminated HUMIYADA with an AKM] [7 kills.] Yi Ran cradled hisptop as he sat on the sofa. He was dumbfounded with astonishment after seeing the wave of attacks performed by the anchor. This guy was like a goddamn immortal¡­ He reflexively clicked to follow him. [Hahahahaha I won¡¯t allow it!!] [The anchor is so sexy omg] [When will the anchor hold a guessing game? When you do, I¡¯lle here to just stabilize my finances.] A guessing game was one of the activities that could be yed in a stream. Each viewer could get starlight currency by either checking-in every day, recharging their ount with money, or some other special methods. The starlight coins could then be used to participate in the guessing game, which offered a chance of obtaining more starlight currency from winning it. The guessing game questions were decided by the anchor. The subjects of PUBG specifically were usually things like ¡°can we eat chicken¡±, ¡°can we kill five people¡±, and so on. Yu Yan responded, ¡°Guessing game¡­ Let me check. I can only run that at anchor level 12.¡± [Level 12? Then, if Boss 1 visits a few more times again, it¡¯ll be enough.] [Speaking of that, howe we haven¡¯t seen Boss these past few days ah? Has he moved on to a new sweetheart?] [No, no, I went to stalk Boss¡¯ profile. The only one on Boss¡¯ gifted stars¡¯ list is this anchor! (Seems like I¡¯ve exposed something)] You could actually stalk other people¡¯s profiles? Yu Yan couldn¡¯t help but look at the barrage a few more times. It was true that 1 hadn¡¯te online for several days; it was even to the extent that several streamer viewers would mention it. As a result, Yu Yan would always subconsciouslyb through his memories and wonder, was he inadequate in any way on the day that they had yed squad matches? Didn¡¯t seem so ah¡­ Before 1 had left, he had even sent him a meteor shower. ¡°Hello, hello hello? Can you hear me? Hellooo??¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s voice sounded out, ¡°Wtf bro, you¡¯re so mean ba, even muting your own teammates??¡± Yu Yan snapped out of it and said, ¡°Your voice covered the sound of the footsteps.¡± [1: How much starlight currency to get a mod vest in this stream? Can I get a carry?] As soon as this line appeared on top of the barrage, Yu Yan¡¯s eyes were immediately hooked to it. But he very soon withdrew his gaze. This 1¡¯s ID was colorful. Like Autumn, this 1 was an aristocratic level StarTV viewer, and not the 1 he knew. ¡°2000 to be a mod. When I take stream followers to y, you can jump the queue.¡± He had just barely finished his words when a grandiose meteor shower effect appeared. The new 1 tossed him a meteor shower in a very forthright manner. [This¡­ this couldn¡¯t be Boss 1 wanting a higher tier vest?] [No way, why would Boss 1 have to ask about how much currency is required for a mod¡¯s vest?] [I think that¡¯s probably right, otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?] [Regardless of whether it¡¯s true or not, it¡¯s always right to say that Boss is so generous!] ¡°Thank you for the meteor shower, 1.¡± Yu Yan looked at the barrage, paused, and asked, ¡°Do you want to get in now? Last bus.¡± ¡°Ah? You¡¯re still ying?¡± Lu Xiuhe interrupted him in his timely manner, ¡°Aren¡¯t you ending the stream in 20 minutes?¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°It¡¯s okay to stream a little longer.¡± [1: y.] [1: But I also have someone else here, is that okay?] Yu Yan saw that the other party was talking in the public stream chat, and the original hopeful look in his eyes extinguished. 1 usually used private messages to chat with him. ¡°¡­ That¡¯s fine, I have two spaces here.¡± Yi Chen came out of the bathroom wearing a sleeping robe, and saw Yi Ran wearing headphones. He went to his desk, picked up his cellphone and casually nced at him. ¡°Why are you just stupidly sitting there?¡± Yi Ran was very frank. ¡°I don¡¯t dare to blindly enter your room.¡± ¡°Then you must¡¯ve had such a good time entering my house.¡± Yi Chen stopped in front of him and asked, ¡°You¡¯re going to graduate soon, what¡¯s your n?¡± Yi Ranughed a bit mischievously and said, ¡°Idle around for a bit, talk about it again after a few years.¡± ¡°Come to thepany ba.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°I¡¯ll arrange a position for you.¡± Yi Ran¡¯s smile stiffened for a few seconds but soon returned to normal. ¡°No, Ge, I really can¡¯t do it. Thatpany¡­ You just keep watching over it.¡± ¡°Besides, those old men are too much trouble, I definitely can¡¯t endure them.¡± If you had to say who was most qualified topete against Yi Chen, then it would have to be Yi Ran. They were both Old man Yi¡¯s blood-rted grandsons, and while Yi Ran was only a few years younger than Yi Chen, he was also deeply loved by Old man Yi. However, Yi Ran had been a troublemaker since childhood, and he had been particrly troublesome by specializing in things that didn¡¯t make a big mess but were especially vexing to clean up. He was constantly getting beaten by his father. At first, those old men in the family wanted to train Yi Ran topete against Yi Chen, but in the end, just the sight of Yi Ran would make them shake their heads. After a while, Yi Chen looked away and said, ¡°Whatever you want.¡± Yi Ranughed, and his tone returned to usual. ¡°Ge, let¡¯s y two PUBG matches?¡± Yi Chen responded, ¡°No, I have a meetingter.¡± ¡°Oh it¡¯s like that ah. That¡¯s fine ba¡­ I even specially charged some currency to toss at this anchor to get a carry.¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t say anything, and just turned around to enter the study. The person on the sofa unplugged his earphones, and a voice rang out from theputer. ¡°Why don¡¯t I show my face? ¡­ Because the camera is broken. It¡¯s been broken for several months, and I couldn¡¯t be bothered to buy another one. Yes, mainly because I don¡¯t have money.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s footsteps paused. ¡°I¡¯m a skills-based anchor, my face doesn¡¯t matter¡­ 1, if you¡¯re good now, please directly send me your ID through private messaging.¡± ¡ª His private message box shed. Yu Yan clicked it open and was stunned. ¡¾2£ºNIRANGG-1¡¿ It took him a long time to realize that the boss from just now had changed their user ID. ¡­ But what was the point of changing 1 to 2?? After inviting the person to the game lobby, Yu Yan exined, ¡°Sorry, but because you changed your ID, I didn¡¯t recognize it at first.¡± In the game, the boss¡¯ microphone icon shed. ¡°I often change my name, it¡¯s okay. In the future, just recognize me by my cool rainbow ID.¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± [Why do I feel like this tone doesn¡¯t sound like the other 1 ah?] [It¡¯s definitely not him ah, even their voices aren¡¯t the same.] [The new boss isn¡¯t melodramatic or artificial at all. Simple and rough, I like it.] ¡°Can you wait five minutes? He¡¯s turning on theputer.¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°Okay.¡± He took advantage of the five minute wait-time to get up and make himself a cup of coffee. When he came back, there were already four people in the game lobby. He didn¡¯t look very closely and quickly started the match. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I just went to make a cup of coffee.¡± It wasn¡¯t until he entered Manners za that he noticed the barrage, which had gone a bit crazy, in the upper left corner. [Boss, I¡¯ve missed you so much!] [It turns out that the two bosses are friends, no wonder their names are the same.] [Ahhhhh!! I was so excited that I immediately put on earphones!!!] ? Yu Yan hadn¡¯t reacted to this yet when he was caught off guard by an auditory storm. ¡°That¡¯s fine.¡± The man¡¯s voice was as usual, deep and mellow, with a hint of carelessness. ¡°Where are we jumping, little anchor?¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Aw Yanyan missed Boss Yi! And wow, I don¡¯t know why Boss Yi sounds so appealing with just 6 words. Divi: Boss Yi is back! I¡¯m wondering if he actually imitated Yi Ran¡¯s name at first? Since Boss Yi doesn¡¯t do much with StarTV¡­ Yanyan is going be lovestruck again. Noks: Both of them are gunning for the other¡¯s voice¡­ This kind of slow burn makes my toes curl!!! Chapter 20 - I went through all the trouble to let you take advantage of him Chapter 20 - I went through all the trouble to let you take advantage of him Edited by Divetus and Noks Yu Yan now understood why the new boss changed his ID to 2. His heart leaped, and he was caught rapt by the words ¡°little anchor¡±. He subconsciously raised his hand and turned up the volume on the headset. ¡°Jump, jumping¡­¡± ¡°Jumping to Military Base!¡± Under the pretext of ¡°convenientmunication¡±, Yi Ran had sessfully relocated to Yi Chen¡¯s study, and smoothly connected to the home Wifiwork. When he had first started ying this game, he had often gone on apps to find apanying yers. He was also a frequent guest in livestreams. Spending money made him essentially get treated as a god, so he was already used to being the team¡¯smander. Yu Yan let out an ¡°oh¡± and asked, ¡°1, where do you want to jump?¡± Yi Chen responded, ¡°Wherever you like.¡± ¡°Then, Military Base.¡± Yu Yan marked a point on the map. ¡°Jump to the C-area ba.¡± Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°Which building?¡± ¡°First building.¡± Yi Rannded on the ground and couldn¡¯t help but gasp in admiration, ¡°Ge, you know how to parachute now!¡± Yi Chen¡¯s eyelids twitched. ¡°Turn off your open mic.¡± Unfortunately, it was already toote. The conversation between the two had been clearly transmitted to the stream through Yi Ran¡¯s earphone mic. [The two bosses are actually bros!!] [Hahahaha, looks like Boss 1 really is a novice.] [This tells us that money isn¡¯t everything. No matter how rich you are, you still have to start by learning how to use the parachute.] [Wait for the Bosses to just lie down and eat chicken, and then you¡¯ll know if money is everything.] Yu Yan managed to refocus and quickly turned towards the window to flip into the first building. ¡°Xiao Yan, do you have any guns over there?¡± Lu Xiuhe asked. ¡°Fuck me. My building¡¯s roof has only a row of sickles and pans. Were these put here so that I could go to the countryside to farm and nt fields?¡± Yi Ranughed, ¡°Hahahaha, nt fields¡­ You¡¯re pretty interesting, Ge.¡± ¡°Of course, Boss. You¡¯ll find that I can be more interesting once you get to know me better.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a gun here, the M16.¡± Yu Yan picked up the gun, looked at the map, and unhesitatingly went upstairs. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a 98K quietly lying on the ground. He didn¡¯t rush to pick it up, but instead went to the window and knocked down an enemy who was running away with a few shots. ¡°Come to the next room, 1. I have a 98K here.¡± Yi Chen looked at the map and discovered that the little anchor had at some point already entered the room beside him. He picked up the SMG on the ground and said, ¡°You take it.¡± ¡°Come over and take it.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°¡­ You¡¯re a better sniper than me.¡± [???] [Nowadays, anchors can really say anything for money¡­] [For this wave of bullshit, I¡¯ll give it a score of 10.] Yi Ran chimed in, ¡°Hey Ge, if you don¡¯t want it, I want it. I¡¯lle over and get it right away!¡± Yi Chen walked over to Yu Yan¡¯s location and picked up the 98K. ¡°Scram.¡± Yi Ran, who had just run into the room, clicked his tongue and had just started to say something when he heard the sound of footsteps around them. ¡°Ge, someone¡¯s here! Quickly run away!¡± As Yi Ran finished his sentence, Yu Yan, who had silently been standing beside them the entire time, suddenly turned away and jumped out the window. Ten secondster, fierce gunfire rang out. Before Yi Ran could go downstairs to investigate the situation, everything became silent¡ª¡ª ¡°The people whonded at this building are dead now.¡± Yu Yan looted everyone and reloaded. ¡°There are still a few things in the boxes, you can loot them after you finish searching the building. I¡¯m going to move to the second building. Be careful, there¡¯s someone on the opposite roof.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go with you!¡± Lu Xiuhe said. Yi Ran went silent as he switched from open mic to push-to-talk voice chat, and then asked the person sitting opposite him. ¡°Ge, did you see this anchor ying so 6¡­ He¡¯s not running a cheat software is he ba?¡± Yi Chen seemed to think of something and suddenlyughed. ¡°Thest time someone used him of running a cheat software, that person was knocked down and shot 40 times. His head basically exploded out of existence.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡­¡­¡± ¡°If you had something to say, couldn¡¯t you have been more proper? Why must you say it in such a bloody fashion¡­¡± Yi Chen, who had just recalled something, raised his eyes as he asked, ¡°How did you know I watched his livestream?¡± Yi Ran quickly exined, ¡°It was truly an ident. A push notification popped up on your cellphone, and I happened to see it.¡± Yi Chen unlocked his cellphone and sure enough, he saw the notification. Bang¡ª ¡°Wtf!¡± Yi Ran gasped, but before he could react, he was knocked down by the person in the opposite building. ¡°I was moving the entire time but they could still headshot me?? Ge, quickly help me up¡­¡± Yi Chen crouched down to help him up. ¡°Let me see which stupid¡ª¡± Yi Ran couldn¡¯t even finish spouting his fierce words before another shot was fired from the opposite side. He was once again headshotted and fell to the ground. ¡°¡­ Ge.¡± Yi Chen stared at the person who was crawling at his feet. He thought of something and didn¡¯t hurry to pull him up. ¡°How much was that red scarf around your neck?¡± He asked. ¡°When I bought it, it was six or seven thousand.¡± Yi Ran sensed that something was abnormal. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll pull you up for one scarf.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°No, Ge, just tell me whatever you want, I¡¯ll buy it for you. Pull me up first.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Crawl over here.¡± After being revived again, Yi Ran quickly ran to hide in a blindspot, not daring to say anything about trying to snipe the opponent anymore. ¡°Ge, do you have a first-aid kit in your inventory or anything¡­¡± But the person, who had been next to him, had already left the room without even looking back. ¡°You¡¯re already an adult. Be sensible. Don¡¯t always think about asking for things.¡± ¡°???¡± After Military Base was cleared, Yu Yan noticed that Yi Ran had been standing in a corner for nearly 10 minutes, and finally couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Has No. 2 disconnected?¡± ¡°No. I kept getting sniped so I didn¡¯t dare to move.¡± Yi Ran acted as if he had seen his savior. ¡°Did you kill the person on the roof?¡± ¡°Lu Xiuhe sniped and killed him. Military Base should be empty now.¡± ¡°Good.¡± Yi Ran finally stood up. ¡°Do you have a first-aid kit on you?¡± Yu Yan opened his inventory. Two first-aid kits, two energy drinks, and ten bandages. ¡°Only bandages, do you want some?¡± [???] [Boss, he¡¯s a liar!!] After Yi Ran received the bandages, the group ran towards the circle together. After crossing two bridges, Yu Yan discovered a house located in the center of the circle some distance away, but then stopped abruptly. Yi Chen pursed his lips, and his avatar¡¯s gaze was fixated at a specific point. He said with some uncertainty, ¡°I seem to have just seen an airdrop.¡± Yu Yan drove his car between two houses and hid it well. ¡°Where?¡± Yi Chen replied, ¡°There¡¯s a yellow dot on the hills, no red smoke.¡± As soon as his voice fell, he saw his teammates dash in the direction of the yellow dot, their pace synchronized. Yu Yan nced back at the two people behind him and kept running. Lu Xiuhe couldn¡¯t resist shouting, ¡°Fuck! It¡¯s fine if you want to take the guns, but when did you fill up your boost?! Running that fast??¡± When a game avatar¡¯s boost bar was filled more than halfway, not only would it have health regeneration, but it would also add extra movement speed. Yu Yan didn¡¯t answer. After a few more steps, he suddenly took out his gun and pointed it to the left. ¡°Hold on, it looks like someone¡¯s over there.¡± The two people running behind him didn¡¯t doubt him at all. They immediately stopped moving, opened their scopes and watched the grasnd on the left for a long time. Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°Where? Don¡¯t see anything ah.¡± Yi Ran added, ¡°I¡¯m not seeing anything either.¡± Yi Chen held back augh as he leisurely ran past both of them with his gun on his back, heading straight in the direction of the little anchor. Yu Yan ran to the airdrop, opened his inventory, and looted the level 3 armor in a few seconds. ¡°Oh? I must¡¯ve made a mistake ba.¡± [Such a dirty heart!] [If he wasn¡¯t a big thigh, he would¡¯ve been shot by his teammates a long time ago.] As soon as Yi Chen arrived at the airdrop, he heard the sound of somethingnding on the ground. A level 3 helmet was on the ground. ¡°You should wear it 1¡­ when you try to snipe someone.¡± His voice was a bit lowered, as if he was trying to hide something. Yi Ran reacted and ran up. ¡°Leave some for me!¡± By the time the other two arrived, only the damaged level 2 armor that Yu Yan had changed out of was left. ¡°No way, why is this anchor so unprofessional ah? Good things should be given to the boss. Does he not know the rules?¡± Yi Ran grumbled andined, but still closely followed after Yu Yan. ¡°Ge, don¡¯t you think he¡¯s gone too far¡­ Huh?¡± ¡°Why are you wearing a level 3 helmet???¡± Yi Chen looked at the ck helmet on his game avatar, and his mouth quirked up ever so slightly. The little anchor who normally never tried to curry favor would always inexplicably give him benefits. ¡°He gave it to me.¡± ¡°??¡± Yi Ran became angry at this unfair treatment. He angrily opened his inventory and wanted to loot the level 2 helmet that Yi Chen had just changed out of. Who knew that Lu Xiuhe was faster than him. He rushed up to his side and picked it up first. With a thump, the level 2 helmet on the ground changed into a level 1 helmet. Looking at Lu Xiuhe¡¯s back as he was leaving, Yi Ran was even more aggrieved. ¡°What, are bosses divided into different ranks?¡± ¡°So, because I¡¯ve thrown fewer gifts than you, I can only use this glossy green level 1 helmet, while you can use the level 3 helmet, right?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± said Yi Chen. ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan, unaware of the conversation that had taken ce between the two bosses, went back to the house he had chosen before. Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Xiao Yan, check if there¡¯s a level 2 helmet in the house. My level 2 helmet is badly damaged.¡± It was time! Yi Ran seized the opportunity and said into the voice channel, ¡°Aren¡¯t you fine? I¡¯m over here wearing a level 1 helmet, a green one at that.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Yu Yan paused and said, ¡°Boss, why don¡¯t youe over here to me ba.¡± That was more like it. Yi Ran hurriedly ran over with a gun in his hand. ¡°Coming,ing.¡± When he arrived at the house, Yu Yan had simply pointed his gun towards the helmet on the ground, and said, ¡°Here¡¯s a grey level 1 helmet.¡± ??? Did I actually run all the way here just to change helmet colors??? Thump. Yi Ran stooped to pick up the grey helmet on the ground. ¡°¡­ Alright ba, thank you.¡± ¡ª When the match ended, Yu Yan had gotten 11 kills and had only eaten some chicken butt. While trying to carry a noob, it was already considered good to even get to eat the chicken butt. ¡°Didn¡¯t pick up enough smoke grenades, or else we should¡¯ve been able to eat chicken.¡± Yu Yan said. ¡°Keep ying?¡±¡± Yi Chen responded, ¡°No, have some things. Shouldn¡¯t you also be ending your stream?¡± ¡°Ah¡­ Right.¡± Yu Yan paused and asked, ¡°Then, y next time?¡± ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Don¡¯t quit the game yet.¡± Yu Yan was stunned. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Wait.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± He waited long enough that all the viewers had sent out question marks, and only then did the opposite side finally make a noise. Yi Ran coughed, ¡°Sigh. I made a bet with my Ge, and lost a red scarf. Give me your ount info, I¡¯ll go into the shop and buy you one.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°No need, I don¡¯t really care about those kinds of things.¡± Yi Chen told him, ¡°Give it to him. Don¡¯t worry, he won¡¯t dare to steal your ount.¡± Yu Yan hurriedly said, ¡°No, I¡¯m not worried about that¡­¡± ¡°Talk in a private chat with him.¡± The man¡¯s tone wasx, and his voice was unhurried. ¡°Go on. I went through all the trouble to let you take advantage of him.¡± Let him take advantage? Why was 1 helping him take advantage of anyone? Yu Yan became so perplexed by this sentence that he reflexively sent his ount info to Yi Ran in a private chat. Five minutester, Yu Yan put on the red scarf over his default game outfit. ¡°I¡¯m going offline too, Xiao Yan.¡± Yi Ran had learned from Lu Xiuhe and called him that. ¡°Let¡¯s add each other on WeChat? It¡¯ll be more convenient when I want to jump the queue and get carriedter.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± After Yu Yan responded, he suddenly had a sh of inspiration and instinctively opened his mouth again. ¡°Ah, 1, do you also want to add me on WeChat? That way, you can tell me in advance when you want to y the game in the future¡­ I¡¯ll save you a spot.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Hahahaha, Yanyan just angling for that WeChat. Divi: Smooth Yanyan, just getting the boss¡¯ private digits! tant favouritism is okay when one boss gave you more!!! Yi Ran you¡¯re such a gremlin. Chapter 21 - And then you were still planning on withdrawing it? Chapter 21 - And then you were still nning on withdrawing it? Edited by Divetus After turning off theputer, Yu Yan took a bath andid on his bed. He held up a note that had two WeChat IDs written on it. As he opened up his WeChat, he found that he had a lot of messages. At a nce, they were all from the countless group chats that he had been pulled into by his former middle school ssmates. A boy who was good at games wouldn¡¯t be treated badly in a crowd of boys, especially because Yu Yan¡¯s temperament was good. He generally granted all requests rted to boosting people¡¯s ranks in games, so although he seldom contacted his ssmates after graduation, others would always remember to pull him into group chats. He didn¡¯t rush to read the group chat messages and just clicked on the add contacts screen. Then, he looked at the WeChat ID on the note and typed it in. He confirmed it three times before searching it. A ck profile picture appeared. To be exact, it was a picture of a night sky that was empty besides the hanging round moon. Even the number 1 right beside it was a bit cold. En, didn¡¯t type it in wrong. Yu Yan turned over, propped his elbow up on the pillow, clicked the add button, prompting another interface to pop up. He dutifully typed his in-game name and sent it over. At the same time he sent that, his cellphone slightly vibrated. He was startled and looked at it again. It turned out that someone in one of his middle school group chats was @ing him. [Say ah, it¡¯s been a long time since we¡¯ve seen each other, why don¡¯t we take advantage of this holiday and get together? You should alle ba. @Yu Yan why doesn¡¯t Xiao Yan talk?] Yu Yan opened his cellphone keyboard and was just about to type when another line of words popped up. [Li Hang: Isn¡¯t he livestreaming ba? Do you think he¡¯s the same as us, with winter and summer holidays ah? That¡¯s to say, children from poor families have to be independent earlier.] There was nothing wrong with what he said, but saying it in a setting where the actual person could see, it just didn¡¯t seem very tasteful. Seeing that the mood wasn¡¯t right, the group chat suddenly quieted down. Yu Yan clicked on Li Hang¡¯s profile, and as expected, the other person had deleted him from his friend¡¯s list. [Yu Yan: Yes ah, so I probably won¡¯t be able to go.] As soon as his words were sent, the group chat suddenly exploded. The female students who were lurking in the group chat all sent out a lot of emoticons, driving their messages to the top. [Xiao Yan!! Come get together with us ba! We can figure out a time that works for you!!] [That¡¯s right, I haven¡¯t seen you since graduation. Do you still remember me?? ] Even the male students who normally didn¡¯t like to message on their cellphones popped up. [Yes, whatever time is fine, as long as it¡¯s convenient for you.] [After we get together, let¡¯s go to the Inte cafe to y for a while. It¡¯s been a long time since all 5 of us have gamed together.] [What tform are you livestreaming on? Us bros will go smash your stream with some gifts in support.] Yu Yan held his cellphone, his heart going back and forth. Although he didn¡¯t know how Li Hang found out that he was livestreaming, he didn¡¯t intend on deeply investigating the matter. Since his old ssmates had all said this much, it would be too heartless for him to refuse again. [Yu Yan: Okay ba, don¡¯t worry about me. When you guys set a time, I¡¯ll ask for some vacation and alsoe.] After sending this sentence, the cellphone vibrated again. At the top of the screen, a notification from 1 popped up. Friend request epted! He immediately stopped paying attention to the middle school group chat, not bothering to participate in any of the discussions for the time and ce of the meetup. He opened 1¡¯s chat but the opposite side was quiet. Apart from the system notification that the friend request had been epted, there weren¡¯t any other messages. Yu Yan hesitated for a while, and then put his fingertips on his cellphone keyboard. Hello, Boss. I¡¯m yanxyan. Deleted. y tomorrow? Deleted. Sorry ah, we didn¡¯t eat chicken tonight. Deleted. ¡­. Yi Chen sat in his executive chair, staring at the cellphone next to his keyboard. His index finger was moderately drumming on the tabletop, and because the strength was well-controlled, there was almost no sound. The cellphone disyed a chat box on the screen that kept showing ¡°typing¡± from the other party. Despite waiting for so long, he still hadn¡¯t received a message. It had already been ten minutes. Was the little anchor writing an essay? ¡°President Yi¡­¡± The person at the other end of the video conference began to speak more and more slowly. It seemed like his boss hadn¡¯t been listening since the meeting had started. Yi Chenzily looked up, ¡°Finished talking?¡± ¡°Ah, no, not yet.¡± The man softly coughed and continued to report on the American branch. Half an hourter, the division manager finally finished the report and let out a long sigh. The weekly status report always made him feel like he was on a battlefield. Despite his boss being young, his way of conducting business was no different than that of the former President Yi. Thest division manager had been a little sloppy during his report once, and had been dismissed the next day. Although he was aware that there were other factors in the situation, when it had happened, the whole branch had still been thrown into a panic. They didn¡¯t dare to ck off. He suddenly thought of something. ¡°By the way, President Yi, you said earlier that you wanted to arrange for a person toe to the branch office¡­¡± ¡°Cancel it ba.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Yi Chen moved his hand and exited the full screen video. ¡°I don¡¯t like to repeat myself.¡± ¡°Alright! I understand.¡± ¡°En, it¡¯s been hard on you.¡± Putting this sentence out, Yi Chen hung up the video call. Yu Yan held his cellphone in one hand, and flipped himself over so that he was facing the ceiling. He squinted in concentration while sleepiness engulfed him, and continued to tap on his cellphone. ¡­ Thank you for the scarf. Deleted. In the end, why was he at such a loss? Couldn¡¯t he just type a greeting and be done with it? Yu Yan also wanted to be straightforward, but¡­ He had some selfish motives. He also wasn¡¯t sure if 1 liked to send voice messages. It was really shameful to listen to his own livestream VODs every day. Besides, after listening to it for so long, it was mostly just full of Lu Xiuhe¡¯s voice. But generally speaking, no one used voice messages to chat with strangers ba? Yu Yan yawned and nced at the microphone icon in the lower left corner. !! If you sent a voice message first, maybe the other party would also reply with a voice message? His actions were faster than his conscious reaction. When he snapped out of it, he found that his thumb was already pressing down on the voice message button. ¡°Um, 1¡­¡± After saying just a few words, his idea already ran into an obstacle. It was already past midnight, so it probably wouldn¡¯t be convenient for 1 to listen to it if he sent over a voice message. He sighed. As soon as he wanted to cancel sending the message, he felt his hands were strangely empty¡ª Bang! His 180 gram cellphone hit him straight on his nose. ¡°Hiss¡ª¡± The pain caught him off guard, and Yu Yan almost instantly woke up. He abruptly took a breath of cold air and couldn¡¯t help angrily muttering at himself, ¡°Hurts¡­¡± He was just about to rub his nose to stop the pain, when he heard a strange beep from his cellphone. He picked it up and took a look¡ªhe didn¡¯t know how but he had identally touched the voice key, and unexpectedly sent out a two second voice message!! He didn¡¯t even hesitate before immediately clicking on the withdraw message button. The moment he was about to withdraw it, he saw a small line at the top of the chat box: the other party is typing. Yu Yan was still in a dumbfounded state and could only watch on as his phone vibrated with the several voice messages that 1 sent over. ¡°Hurts? Where does it hurt?¡± ¡°Seeing that you were typing for about half an hour, I actually thought that you were writing an essay¡­¡± The man¡¯s voice paused after saying that, and then suddenlyughed, ¡°And then you were still nning on withdrawing it?¡± Yu Yan held his cellphone in both hands and sat up straight! ¡°No, not at all, I just identally dropped my cellphone onto my nose¡­¡± After that, he continued, ¡°¡­ I also wasn¡¯t writing an essay.¡± ¡°Then, what were you nning to say since you kept the chat open for half an hour?¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t expect his little actions to be discovered by the other side; his ears immediately seemed like they were on fire, badly burning. Two minutester, he made ame excuse. ¡°I just wanted to thank you for the scarf.¡± Yi Chen picked up the coffee mug and went to the kitchen to rinse it with hot water. He unhurriedly opened the voice message. Without the sound card enhanced microphone, the little anchor¡¯s voice was cleaner. His voice was a little soft, letting a person feelfortable. It didn¡¯t fit with his decisive and imposing image in the game. ¡°Didn¡¯t you recognize the wrong person?¡± Yi Chen chuckled. ¡°I wasn¡¯t the one to give you the scarf.¡± This time the other side replied very quickly. ¡°No! I¡¯m not mistaken!¡± Half a minuteter, another message arrived. ¡°Otherwise¡­ Would you please help me convey my thanks?¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows. He had never been used as a microphone between others before. However, hearing the little anchor¡¯s cautious tone, he wasn¡¯t really willing to refuse. In the guest room, Yi Ran covered his head with the nket and loudly snored. But the knock on the door was louder, and forcefully dragged him out of his dream. Pretending to be dead was fruitless, so he irritably tossed off the nket and walked to the door, only to wilt at the sight of the visitor. ¡°Ge, what do you want in the middle of the night ah?¡± ¡°The little anchor asked me to thank you.¡± ¡°???¡± Seeing hispletely stupefied expression, Yi Chen reminded him, ¡°The scarf.¡± ¡°And also, if your snoring is this loud again, you can take your nket and go outside to sleep in the security booth.¡± Yi Ran waited for Yi Chen to leave, but only fully recovered after thete night wind blew on his face¡ª¡ª Wait, didn¡¯t I also give my WeChat to the anchor? Why would you need to knock on the door in the middle of the night to help convey his thanks?? Also, how do I control my snoring? You want me to suffocate myself, right?? ¡ª Please check out and support the raws if you can! Juurensha: Aww, so cute Yanyan trying to figure out how to get a voice message. (And he seeded!) Divi: What a bro cellphone, got tired of Yanyan¡¯s dilly dallying so it took matters into its own self. I think people are definitely more willing to send voice messages to strangers nowadays. Chapter 22 - StarTVs third anchor selection competition Chapter 22 - StarTV¡¯s third anchor selectionpetition Edited by Divetus and Noks By the time Yu Yan woke up the next day, it was already bright. Although his livestream time was 11:00 a.m, he usually got up around 8:00 a.m or 9:00 a.m. Tilting his head to nce at the time, he saw that it was already 10:30 a.m. He hurriedly got up to wash his face and rinse out his mouth. He didn¡¯t have time to go out to buy breakfast, so he just ordered takeout and hastily sat down in front of theputer. Skipping the step of going out for breakfast gave him more time. He had the time to check his private messages once he went online. As he wasn¡¯t very familiar with many of the features of the livestream tform, his private message settings didn¡¯t block strangers from messaging him. Thus, every day he could receive dozens of private messages. There weren¡¯t too many this time, so he could still read all of them, unlike the previous couple of days when he had been under the suspicion of cheating and had received thousands of messages just cursing him out. When he clicked the messages open to take a look, he found that Administrator 03 had also sent him a private message. He had previously privately messaged the other party and inquired about the announcement made on his stream, but had only got back a vague and perfunctory exnation from Administrator 03. His reply only said that it was the tform internally testing the function for the future, and the two of them didn¡¯tmunicate any further. [Administrator 03: StarTV¡¯s third anchor selectionpetition is officially open for registration! The registration time is from July 29 to August 03, and the selection period will start from 00:00 a.m. on August 04 andst until 23:59 p.m. on August 18. Please clic.k here¡ú] It was followed by a long list of websites. Anchor selectionpetition? This sort of thing was part of his knowledge gap of the tform, and his curiosity made him click on the link. There were no less than 20 differentpetition category descriptions. Yu Yan directly skipped over them and scrolled over to the awards. With so many differentpetition categories, there were naturally many rewards. These awards were further divided into two categories: One was awards that all of the tform¡¯s anchors could win, while the other were awards that only anchors ying specific games could win. The big awards included ¡°Best Anchor of the Year¡±, ¡°Most Popr Anchor of the Year¡±, and ¡°Neer Anchor of the Year¡±. Among those three awards, even the lowest level ¡°Neer Anchor of the Year¡± award required the anchor to have streamed on the tform for at least three months, but also less than a year, so Yu Yan directly ignored these awards and continued to scroll down. He finally found the PUBG section that had three shining medals hanging on top of the webpage. ¡°Strongest Kills King¡±, ¡°Chicken-Eating King¡±, and ¡°Diligent Anchor¡±. Among these three awards, the one with the most ambiguous selection method was the ¡°Chicken-Eating King¡± award. It wasn¡¯t the anchor who won the most matches; the description on the webpage was: ¡°the selection criteria of this award will be based on poprity, public enthusiasm and viewer count. The final result will be evaluated by a tform staff member¡±. The title of the ¡°Strongest Kills King¡± sounded imposing. Naturally, this selection¡¯s requirements were the highest of the three awards¡ªa tform staff member would select some anchors ording to their stream data, and the winner would be selected from those anchors based on their poprity during the 15 days of thepetition. Thest award, the ¡°Diligent Anchor¡±, waspletely evaluated based on the anchor¡¯s total livestreaming time span. You also couldn¡¯t just cram in livestream timest minute for the award; the tform staff member would take the anchor¡¯s previous livestream time spans as a reference. Yu Yan felt like he could touch the edge of this award. Although he hadn¡¯t been livestreaming for long, his daily streaming hours were about 12 hours, which practically counted as a conscientious anchor. He had just finished reading the introductions for the awards when Lu Xiuhe messaged him. Your Great Lord Lu: [Website Link: StarTV¡¯s third anchor selectionpetition has officially opened!] Yu Yan: I¡¯m looking at it now. Your Great Lord Lu: Thought of which one you want to participate in? Yu Yan: ¡­ How long have I been livestreaming for? I don¡¯t think I could even get close to any of them. Your Great Lord Lu: Don¡¯t say that ah. In any case, just sign up anyways. Even if you can¡¯t be judged, getting a participation award is good too! There were also participation awards? He scrolled to the end of the webpage and sure enough, saw participation awards: all eligible and registered anchors could get a ¡°Myriads of Lights¡± gift after the selection. ¡°Myriads of Lights¡± was one of StarTV¡¯s paid gifts, worth 100 yuan. Subtracting the tform¡¯s share, you would basically get 50 yuan just for signing up. There was no such thing as too little free money. 50 yuan was enough for a whole day¡¯s worth of takeout for him. Your Great Lord Lu: What do you think? Did you figure out which one you¡¯re going to participate in? Yu Yan: En¡­ ¡°Diligent Anchor¡± ba. Your Great Lord Lu: Forget about that award. Don¡¯t think about it, you can¡¯t get it. Yu Yan: Why? Your Great Lord Lu: Don¡¯t you know? There¡¯s a PUBG anchor that streams from 9:00 a.m to 11:00 p.m, no matter what. He¡¯s been keeping this schedule for more than half a year already, even when he¡¯s ill, he would livestream while attached to an IV! Could you beat such a guy? Yu Yan: ¡­ I¡¯m no match for him. Forget it, y a match now? He didn¡¯t have to get that 50 yuan. Your Great Lord Lu: You can go participate in the Chicken-Eating King or the Strongest Kills King category ah! Those big PUBG anchors will definitely bepeting for those tform-wide awards. Among thepetition¡¯s 20 rules, one was that anchors who signed up to participate in the tform-wide awards couldn¡¯t participate in specific category awardpetitions as well. This was considered as giving the other small anchors a chance. Yu Yan: Anchors can only participate in those two awards if they¡¯re selected by the tform staff members. Lu Xiuhe took a look. Hey, it was actually true. Who would look carefully through this long list of rules ah, he vented in his heart. Your Great Lord Lu: What a troublesome tform¡­ Man, you¡¯re so strong, if the tform staff member didn¡¯t pick you, there must be something going on behind the scenes! Yu Yanughed and was about to begin his livestream when his private messages icon lit up again. Administrator 03: yanxyan, congrattions on your qualification topete for the [PUBG category¡ª Chicken-Eating King] award. Please submit your application to the tform within the registration time as soon as possible. Applications submitted after the registration period will be rejected. ¡°¡­.¡± He clicked on the awards page for the PUBG Chicken-Eating King category. After reading it, he was shocked¡ªit had to be said that thepany behind StarTV was really rich. It was just a small game category award, but the prize was as high as 200,000 yuan! Additionally, you would be disyed in a rmended position on the front page on three separate asions. What was the value of a 200,000 yuan prize? As of now, in a small-scale professional onlinepetition, the 1st ce prize was usually just 200,000 yuan. Subtract thepany fees, add the fact that the prize money needed to be split amongst teammates, and you would only end up with a few tens of thousands of yuan. He couldn¡¯t help scrolling up. For the ¡°Best Anchor of the Year¡± award, the prize was 1 million yuan along with a whole week of being in a rmended position on the front page. ¡­ He had seriously gotten too carried away. He had even dared to look at the prize for the ¡°Best Anchor of the Year¡±. If it was just the 50 yuan participation award, he was willing to give up. But for a 200,000 yuan prize¡­ Even if his chances of winning were just 1%, he would still want topete. If he really managed to win the 200,000 yuan prize, he could get that mo-ped and those newputer essories that he had his heart set on without blinking an eye. He decisively clicked ¡°I want to register¡± on the webpage and entered his ount ID and login password. [Sorry, your registration has failed.] He frowned. Thinking that he might¡¯ve made a mistake somewhere, he tried registering again, but still received the same prompt. Having no other choice, he sent the screenshot of the prompt to Administrator 03. Administrator 03: Hello, only anchors who use their video cameras can participate in thispetition. ??? yanxyan: But there¡¯s no such rule on the webpage. The administrator also wanted to vent¡ªYou¡¯re the only anchor who could qualify to participate in thispetition without turning on their video camera ah! Administrator 03: During thispetition, there will be an extra [Competition Zone] on the livestream tform¡¯s front page, and thepetitors¡¯ livestreams will randomly be disyed in that zone. Our tform¡¯s rule is that we can¡¯t manually enter anchors into the rmendation page without their video camera on. What kind of bullshit rule was this? Yu Yan didn¡¯t quite understand. yanxyan: Can you get stronger by turning on the webcam? Administrator 03: ¡­ This is just one of the measures the tform is taking to prevent a scenario of pre-recording and then livestreaming that. In fact, you don¡¯t have to worry too much about it. The viewers don¡¯t have high requirements for the physical appearance of male anchors. Besides, after turning on a webcam, it can also slightly eliminate some of the stream followers¡¯ misunderstandings. This Administrator 03¡¯s speaking ability was really powerful. The meaning of his words was precisely: you don¡¯t have to worry about losing stream followers if you¡¯re ugly, and being able to see your gamey actions when shooting will stop the rumors of you using a cheat software. yanxyan£º¡­ Let me think about it. Their conversation ended there. Yu Yan started the livestream right at 11:00 a.m and saw the red scarf on his game avatar¡¯s neck as soon as he entered the game. When other people wore this red scarf, they looked particrly oppressive. When he wore it, with his avatar dressed in a in white T-shirt and khaki trousers, he looked like he was wearing the red neck scarf of the young pioneers. [Anchor, you can count this as me begging you¡ªBuy yourself a new outfit ba!] [The attire is so ugly that it¡¯ll be likely that you¡¯ll draw fire when you enter the game.] [The anchor is only wearing the default outfit to be funny ba?] ¡°No, I¡¯m just really poor.¡± Yu Yan was very calm. ¡°I haven¡¯t bought anything since I started ying this game.¡± [¡­ Too tragic.] [Listening to that has brought tears to this sad viewer, sending you a ¡°Myriad of Lights¡± gift. Go buy yourself a key to open a box ba.] After the end of each match, every yer would get a certain amount of in-game currency. This game currency could be used to exchange for a loot crate. However, without a key, you couldn¡¯t open the loot crate anyway. Crates could be bought with in-game currency, but keys could only be bought with real money. In a split second, he received a lot of paid gifts in the livestream. Although most of them were small 10 yuan or 50 yuan gifts, collectively, it still amounted to quite a bit. Yu Yan chuckled, ¡°Thank you for your gifts, but I¡¯m not very particr about clothes. This already looks pretty good.¡± [Are you going to take part in the anchorpetition?] ¡°I don¡¯t know yet.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°But even if I join, it¡¯ll just be about getting the participation award.¡± As he finished saying that, a message popped up in the game¡ªT0Tttt12 invites you to a team. Yu Yan didn¡¯t remember who this was, but the barrage already gave him the answer. [Tuantuan!! Tuantuan actually invited you to y games with her!!!] [Tch, howe I can still see her even when I open a gaming anchor¡¯s livestream? Can¡¯t you peacefully stay in your own entertainment category? Don¡¯te out here to disgust people.] [Have a faint impression, is this the little Jiejie with the very sweet voice and extremely good luck?] [Yes, yes, yes, it¡¯s her.] Today, Lu Xiuhe couldn¡¯te online because he had ss. Since Yu Yan was alone anyways, he simply epted the invitation. In a sh, there were three more people in his game interface. ¡­ All three game avatars were women dressed in ck pleated miniskirts and ck suspenders. [Judging from my years of experience in online dating, these three are all girls. If they¡¯re not, then I¡¯ll quit online dating on the spot and nevere out again!] [You¡¯ve appeared, the expert of online dating has appeared again! Big Gege, take me with you!] One of them opened their mouth. ¡°Tuantuan, is this the little Gege you mentionedst time?¡± ¡°Yes, he¡¯s very powerful, he can even carry me.¡± Speaking of this, Tuantan sweetlyughed, ¡°And he¡¯s very gentle.¡± ¡°Really? Is the little Gege there? Say something?¡± The online dating expert was right. These were three female yers. Yu Yan even suspected that all the three girls were fellow anchors. Their voices were clean and prating. It was easy to hear that they were using good quality sound cards priced in the tens of thousands of yuan, crushing his discounted 228 yuan sound card into the ground. ¡ª Juurensha: I believe in you Yanyan! I¡¯m sure you can get both Chicken-Eating King and Strongest Killing King! Divi: I¡¯m sure that you can get the other two titles! Especially if you turn on your webcam hurhur, the Chicken-Eating title would be so easy to grasp. I hope yanyan has a good time with the girls, and that they also appreciate him. Noks: So that¡¯s how Boss Yi gets to see Yanyan¡¯s face for the first time!!! Can¡¯t wait for that scene¡­ hehehe Please check out and support the raws if you can! Chapter 23 - Can you sing a song for us to listen to? Chapter 23 - Can you sing a song for us to listen to? Edited by Divetus After a long time, he said, ¡°¡­ It wasn¡¯t that exaggerated.¡± ¡°Wow, I shouldn¡¯t have called you little Gege.¡± One of the girls said, ¡°You sound younger than me ah, are you an adult?¡± ¡°An adult.¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°y?¡± Tuantuan hurriedly said, ¡°y, I¡¯ll queue right now.¡± Just after entering the game, the takeout had arrived. Yu Yan came back with the takeout and saw his game character standing in Manners za, surrounded by three youngdies.. No. 1 asked, ¡°Little Didi, why aren¡¯t you talking, where are we jumping to?¡± No. 2 said, ¡°Parachuting in the PC version of PUBG is too unreasonablepared to the mobile game versionah. I always skydive slower than others and die in the sky every day. It¡¯s so damn annoying.¡± No. 1 said, ¡°Little Didi, your clothes are really too ugly ba. Call me Jiejie once, and I¡¯ll buy you a beautiful outfit.¡± Tuantuan spoke up, ¡°Alright you guys, calm down a bit. He¡¯s so scared of you guys that he won¡¯t talk.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Although he was previously an apanying yer, he had still never seen this kind of squad formation before. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was just getting my breakfast. You guys can jump anywhere you want, just mark it ba.¡± Tuantuan asked, ¡°Can you choose a ce with fewer people? We¡¯re not very good at ying.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± In the end, they chose Zharki. Yu Yan calcted the optimal time to open his parachute while eating the youtiao as he slowly drifted down. After a while, he discovered that something wasn¡¯t quite right¡ª¡ªthere were no parachute indicators beside his teammate¡¯s names in the lower left corner. He asked, ¡°You guys didn¡¯t start parachuting?¡± No. 1 asked, ¡°What¡¯s parachuting?¡± No. 2 added, ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Tuantuan responded, ¡°I¡¯ll Baidu it.¡± No. 1 said, ¡°Don¡¯t waste your energy, we can¡¯t learn it even if we Baidu it.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The barrage had already gone mad withughter for a while. [Why are these little Jiejie so funny hahahaha] [Obviously, these three are all entertainment anchors, and two of them are emotional radio stations. Give them a stage and they can set up aedy sketch for you.] [I recall that Boss 1 also didn¡¯t know how to parachute either!] As soon as Yi Chen entered the livestream, he saw his ID appear in the barrage. Today was a rare day where he didn¡¯t have any meetings. After he finished reading throughpany information, he opened the livestream webpage. This was the first time he used thepany office¡¯sputer to open something that was non-work rted. He was the livestream¡¯s archangel, so a prompt popped up when he entered the stream. However, because the barrage was getting excessively spammed, the prompt was very quickly pushed to the top, and almost no one saw it. ¡°No problem.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s words carried the trace of a helpless smiling expression, and he marked a point on the map. ¡°Jump here, it¡¯s a garage with a fixed car spawn, we can drive the car over ba.¡± So it was decided. She had almost arrived to the pinned location but No. 1 suddenly shouted, ¡°Aiya, I¡¯m floating past it¡ªFuck, there are three people in front of me, it seems like a squad! What do I do? What do I do?!!!¡± ¡°Seriously? Don¡¯t be afraid, your sisters areing!¡± No. 2 immediately guided her parachute over toward No. 1. ¡°Get over here quickly, little Didi! Fuck them up!¡± Yu Yan was currently in the middle of biting into a youtiao, and had no time to control his mouse or keyboard at the moment. He could only vaguely answer, ¡°Coming¡­¡± Tuantuan asked, ¡°Why are you talking so quietly?¡± ¡°I¡¯m eating a youtiao¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± As soon as No. 1nded, she ran back. The three people behind her didn¡¯t hesitate and immediately chased after her. ¡°Your Jiejie is currently being hunted like this, and you¡¯re still eating a youtiao?!¡± ¡°Get over here quickly! If I can walk out of Zharki alive, I¡¯ll immediately devote my life to you! Let¡¯s have a vigorous Jiejie and Didi love affair!¡± ¡°¡­¡± On the screen, Yu Yan¡¯s originally running game character suddenly slowed down. [???] [Damnit, I¡¯m going to die fromughing hahahahaha!!] [The anchor was rushing over there at first, but he hesitated after hearing that lololol.] No. 1 was eager to escape and thus was staring at Yu Yan¡¯s position on the map the entire time. ¡°What¡¯s the matter with you, little Didi?¡± Yu Yan just regained hisposure and continued sprinting. ¡°¡­ Coming.¡± Yi Chen couldn¡¯t help it, and a bit ofughter leaked out from the corner of his mouth. He felt that the little anchor was like Tang Sanzang mistakenly entering the Cave of the Silken Web. He could even feel his bewilderment across the screen. No. 1 continued running and finally saw her teammates. Yu Yan rushed straight past No. 1 and punched the enemy behind her in the face! The enemy immediately wanted to fight back, but then turned around and dodged. More people were arriving one after another. No. 1 saw her teammates were all together and wasn¡¯t scared anymore¡ªThey normally couldn¡¯t aim and shoot, but who didn¡¯t know how to punch?! ¡°This is what happens when you chase me, go ahead and chase me!¡± No. 1 muttered as she brandished her fist. ¡°Who told you to hit my sister¡­ Aiya!¡± Tuantuan had just brandished her two fists but was hammered to death by two enemies. Yu Yan retreated to the empty path. ¡°It¡¯s okay, just crawl far away. They¡¯ll want to help their teammates instead of chasing after you¡­¡± Before he had finished speaking, a sickeningly sweet voice rang out. ¡°Little Gege, little Gege¡­¡± Tuantuan turned on the ¡®all¡¯ voice channel, and said both softly and aggrievedly, ¡°Don¡¯t kill me, okay? I still want to y¡­¡± ¡°Fuck, you even dare to use this trick.¡± No. 1 eximed, ¡°I¡¯m worried that the enemy is a girl and will just pummel you even harder.¡± ¡°Even if it¡¯s a girl, I can still buy time.¡± Tuantuan finished talking and then reopened the ¡®all¡¯ voice channel. ¡°Wuwuwu, you guys ganging up on me, two against one, isn¡¯t that too much ah?¡± [Learned this method, but I¡¯m short on a loli voice.] [Are these female anchors usually so funny??] The number of viewers in the stream kept increasing. The three female anchors¡¯ fans had all heard the news and had run over. The screen was nearlypletely upied by the barrage, which was basically just ¡°hahaha¡± and ¡°????¡±. Unfortunately the other side was indifferent and continued to pursue them without saying a word. The girls weren¡¯t very good at evading by crouching or jumping, so they were immediately knocked down by the enemy, leaving Yu Yan and Tuantuan standing on theirst legs. Fortunately, Yu Yan also took advantage of the situation to knock down two of the enemies, and just as he was about to attack thest survivor, there was a gunshot from behind him. Tuantuan let out a sound, fell down, and was immediately killed by the other party. The enemy¡¯s teammates came carrying guns!! Yu Yan was stunned, and he was on the verge of turning around and running away with zero hesitation. No. 1 couldn¡¯t help it anymore, and she turned on her mic and said, ¡°If we¡¯re fighting with fists, then fight with fists. What kind of hero rushes in carrying a gun?!¡± Unexpectedly, this time there was a reply from the other side. The rough voice of a man came out, ¡°Fuck me? We previously had our ¡®all¡¯ voice channel blocked, but your team actually has girls?!!!¡± This impassioned and disbelieving tone let everyone immediately know that there were no girls in the enemy team. Then, the person who was carrying the gun also said, ¡°I¡¯m swooning¡­ Sorry ah, I didn¡¯t know before.¡± His muzzle was still facing Yu Yan. Tuantuanined, ¡°Wow, you guys are too merciless. I was begging for such a long time!¡± The person said regretfully, ¡°s, we aren¡¯t predestined.¡± The sound of the gun rang out again, Yu Yan got shot, and his avatar only had thest sliver of health remaining. He didn¡¯t hesitate as he blurted out with his voice pitched delicately and softly. ¡°Wait, wait a minute¡ªlittle Gege¡­¡± [?] [???] The barrage directly exploded, the whole screen spammed with question marks. Yu Yan, acting as if he hadn¡¯t seen it, continued to pitch his voice high and said, ¡°They might not be predestined for you guys, but I, I¡¯m predestined for you guys ya! Don¡¯t shoot me anymore¡­¡± [??? It¡¯s truly Seeking Survival in A Hopeless Land .] [¡­ Awesome lolololololol] [The anchor is a werewolf!] [I¡¯m even harder now.] Yi Chen: ¡°¡­¡± Hisugh couldn¡¯t be restrained any more, and he also sent a question mark along with the other stream followers into the barrage. ¡°Fuck.¡± This soft, weak, but not too coy voice directly hit the gun-toting Ge¡¯s heart! ¡°Little Jiejie, don¡¯t run. I won¡¯t shoot you, I won¡¯t shoot you¡­¡± [This livestream is too sexy, reported.] ¡°Then, don¡¯t chase me ya.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I barely have any health left!¡± ¡°No, little Jiejie, I¡¯ll give you a first aid kit. Don¡¯t run!¡± ¡°Really? You¡¯re not giving it to your teammates?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t! It¡¯s for you!¡± said the rugged male voice immediately. All three female anchors were shocked. No. 1 praised, ¡°¡­Hey, you¡¯re really good at using that voice changer ah.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a voice changer, it¡¯s my actual voice.¡± Yu Yan used the first aid kit and then continued to talk in the all voice channel, asking, ¡°Little Gege, do you have any energy drinks?¡± Those two people had also somehow gotten a car and brought it over. ¡°Don¡¯t have any right now, but you can get in our car and we¡¯ll take you to find some!¡± Yu Yan¡¯s face was expressionless. ¡°Okayyyyy.¡± The three of them got into the car. ¡°Meizi, your clothes are a little peculiar ah.¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°I¡¯m tired of wearing mini skirts¡­ Doesn¡¯t this look good?¡± Those two men paused. ¡°Looks good!¡± ¡°Looks very good!¡± No. 2 said with emotion, ¡°¡­ Big Meizi, you¡¯re better at lying through your teeth than me ah.¡± Yu Yan sighed, ¡°A necessity for survival.¡± ¡°Where shall we go, Meizi?¡± ¡°Anywhere is fine, as long as there¡¯s a house.¡± The man marked a point in the remote and wild area. ¡°Then let¡¯s go here ba. The surrounding cities must¡¯ve already been searched. We only have one gun, and if we go there, we¡¯ll definitely be finished! Most importantly, if you fall down, the two of us won¡¯t be able to pull you up again.¡± Yu Yan responded, ¡°Okay ya.¡± [Anchor, I¡¯m begging you to please stop talking. I¡¯m in ss right now, and I¡¯m about to die from restraining myughter.] [All his ¡°ya¡¯s¡± and ¡°Okayyyyy¡¯s¡± are all very urate. Laona admires you.] [I¡¯m afraid to even dare to do any online dating in the future. When the timees, she¡¯ll take it out and be bigger than me¡ª¡ª] Yu Yan said, ¡°Just learned from them.¡± Tuantuan replied, ¡°My stream number is 18881,e by and pay your tuitionter.¡± ¡°¡­ All right.¡± The man¡¯s marked spot in the wild area was a bit far away, but it was safe. The three people raced across the grasnd and didn¡¯t see a single person. On the way, the man with the gun suddenly said, ¡°Meizi!¡± Yu Yan swallowed the rest of the youtiao. ¡°En?¡± After a while, the man vaguely asked, ¡°Can you sing a song for us to listen to?¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Hahaha, Yanyan is just too good at doing a girl¡¯s voice! Divi: Everytime Yanyan brings out the girl voice, I¡¯m going to die fromughter. Especially since we know what he looks like! Please check out and support the raws if you can!

Edited by Divetus and Noks [I fucking can¡¯t, hahahahahahaha, I¡¯m faint fromughter. I¡¯m dying.] [My roommate wants to hear yanxyan sing before dying.] [I just said that this stream was missing something; the anchor never turns on any background music while he¡¯s streaming!!!] Yu Yan let out a hollowugh, ¡°I can¡¯t sing.¡± ¡°How could that be!¡± The man said, ¡°There¡¯s no girl who doesn¡¯t know how to sing during this day and age.¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan wasn¡¯t lying; he really couldn¡¯t sing. Although he had an advantage with respect to his vocal timbre, in other aspects, he waspletely standard and just downright tone deaf. From kindergarten until the third grade of primary school, he could lead the whole ss in goingpletely out of tune without even running out of breath. Starting from fourth grade, his name no longer appeared in the ss singingpetition list. The barrage was still being spammed, and the stream followers even got excited enough to start spamming gifts. As a final struggle, he said, ¡°I really can¡¯t, little Gege¡­¡± The eldest Ge who was driving the car said, ¡°Then, you can just casually hum a few words ah. Come on bei!¡± Yu Yan still wanted to refuse, but his teammates suddenly turned on their mics. No. 1 eximed, ¡°Just sing. It¡¯s just singing a song. Why are you so embarrassed?!¡± No. 2 added, ¡°That¡¯s right. Look at your stream followers, all of them are starving for it.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Looking at the barrage being spammed crazily, Yu Yan suddenly had the feeling that it was impossible to stop halfway. ¡°No, I really can¡¯t sing, There¡¯s not a single song I know where I won¡¯t go off key.¡± Tuantuan said, ¡°You can sing something a bit easier. Can you sing Say Meow Meow?¡± [Holy crap! Do Say Meow Meow!!] [Can the female anchor not get involved, who wants to listen to this stupid song ah?] [I feel like the anchor sounds as if he¡¯s about to cry hahahaha.] [I killed thest person who sang that song in front of me.] Yi Chen looked at the running barrage, suddenly rose from his chair, opened a music app, and searched for Say Meow Meow. He skipped the song timestamp to the chorus and listened to a few words. He pursed his lips and unconsciously bobbed his Adam¡¯s apple in his throat. This song made his hair stand on end, but he still inexplicably also wanted to listen to the little anchor sing, ¡°Meow, meow, meow, meow¡±. What kind of strange mindset was this?? Seeing that the barrage was going so crazy, with so many gifts being sent that he pretty much couldn¡¯t even see the names of his stream followers, Yu Yan made the tough decision¡ª¡ª Would you lose any hair if you sang just one song? Wouldn¡¯t. For the viewers, it would all be worth it. ¡°I can sing something¡­¡± He said, ¡°But the song you guys are talking about, I don¡¯t know how to sing that.¡± [That¡¯s fine! Whichever song you know how to sing, sing! I don¡¯t mind at all!!] [What song did you say you could sing?] Inside the game, those two yers were still urging him. ¡°Have you thought it through now? Give the game some passion ah, Meizi.¡± ¡°Alright ba.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°You guys wait a bit, I¡¯ll y some apanying music.¡± ¡°Oh man!¡± The driver was pleasantly surprised and said, ¡°You¡¯re even ying some apanying music, and you said you couldn¡¯t sing? Come on ba,e on ba, I¡¯m ready.¡± Yu Yan opened the music software that hadid unused for many years, quickly scrolled to the end of the ylist, and then double clicked the selected apanying music open. His actions were too fast, so before the stream followers could see which song it was, they were hit in the face with a critical auditory attack¡ª¡ª ¡°Dodged, outyed, return, ha ha ha¡­¡± A mechanical female voice sounded. The two people in the game: ¡°&#k2026;¡± Stream followers: ¡°&#k2026;¡± Although Yu Yan¡¯s voice was soft, it was also emotionless. ¡°How high¡¯s the sky, yo.¡± [???] [?????] [Fuck, my moribund illness just got revitalized!!] ¡°What sexy hands, yo, yo.¡± Yi Chen: ¡°?¡± ¡°It¡¯s me, the macho man, whose mic brings guests around.¡± Yi Chen: ¡°&#k2026;¡± [The desire to survive made me unfollow this stream.] [Being able to sing like this, probably five boyfriends would have run away by now.] [My roommate passed away peacefully.] [¡­ This damned song is getting louder??] [Lolololololol everyone around you has already raised their guns! Quickly stop singing!!!] Yu Yan waspletely focused on singing when a meteor shower suddenly appeared over his head&#k2014;&#k2014; [1 has sent a meteor shower to yanxyan¡¯s livestream] Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan: ¡°?!!?!?!¡± The singing abruptly stopped as Yu Yan¡¯s brainpletely crashed, and countless bolded thoughts flew through his mind¡ª¡ª When did 1e in?! Did he hear it all?? ¡­ Could he just drop dead right now? Seeing that Yu Yan¡¯s voice had stopped, the two Ge in the game finally recovered. The man driving the car chuckled, ¡°Ha, haha, it¡¯s very, very nice¡­¡± The person next to him had put away the gun that he had taken out during his panic. ¡°¡­ Nice.¡± When they got to the destination marked on the map, the two men got out of the car as fast as possible. ¡°I¡¯m going to search the house on the left.¡± ¡°Then, I¡¯ll search over here ba¡­¡± Yu Yan sat in the car, motionless for a long time. [Am Igging? Why isn¡¯t the anchor moving?] [Was he moved by his own singing?] [When did Boss 1e in? Lololololololol actually even sent a meteor shower.] The two men were privately chatting in their team voice channel as they searched the buildings. The driver said, ¡°Fuck man, I can¡¯t deal with that girl. Just kill her and concentrate on ying ba. My goosebumps are still here!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t.¡± The other guy hesitated for a moment, ¡°¡­ I think she¡¯s kind of cute ah?¡± ¡°¡­??¡± The driver waspletely dumbfounded. ¡°Then, your taste is quite special.¡± At the barrage¡¯s urging, Yu Yan finally made a move. He got out of the car, entered a house that hadn¡¯t been searched, picked up the M416 on the ground, loaded it, and went upstairs. The whole while, he said nothing. [This eerie silence¡­ makes me feel like something big is going to happen.] Yu Yan just went up the stairs and saw an extended mag quietly lying on the ground. He attached it to the gun and quickly reloaded it. Then, he went onto the balcony. The other two jumped out of the building opposite him. ¡°Ah, Meizi¡­¡± Once they were fully exposed to his field of view, Yu Yan didn¡¯t hesitate to open the scope¡ª¡ª Bang bang bang!! Dozens of gunshots rang out, and the two people didn¡¯t manage to react before they were already knocked down. ¡°Wtf??¡± The man carrying the gun waspletely confused. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, little Jiejie? Were you dissatisfied with our praises earlier?¡± [He¡¯s the ultimate ass-kisser. I salute you.] [That¡¯s a pretty good sentence, writing it down!] Yu Yan jumped down and took advantage of the time it took to reload the gun to clear his throat and recover his original voice, before casually saying, ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m a man.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± It seemed that both of them were bbergasted, as neither of them opened their mouths for a long time. [This is the second time I¡¯ve seen this kind of desperate silence.] [My ass, didn¡¯t thest time just end with the person directly opening fire hahahaha.] Just as Yu Yan was ready to finish both of them off, the Ge with the gun opened his mouth again. ¡°No, little Jie¡­ Little Gege.¡± He paused for a moment, as if he was contemting. Atst, he finally summoned his courage and asked, ¡°Being a man is fine too, are you a gangster wearing women¡¯s clothing? How, how about we add each other on WeChat?¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± This time, he directly ignored the barrage full of stream followers who were enjoying the show, and shot the two people dead. Only after the two lootboxes appeared beside him did he let out a long sigh. ¡­ He had paid too high of a price to get here. Although he had obviously just started the game, and only yed for over ten minutes, he actually felt more tired right now than after an entire day of livestreaming. After looting their boxes, he got into the car from before and drove off. Tuantuan tentatively asked, ¡°Xiao Yan, are you angry?¡± Yu Yan was stunned. ¡°En? No.¡± [Then why aren¡¯t you talking, if you¡¯re not angry?] [I¡¯ve recorded today¡¯s stream. Once this anchor gets really popr, it¡¯ll definitely be part of his dark history.] [I noticed that ever since Boss 1 entered the stream, the anchor hasn¡¯t talked much. The host didn¡¯t even thank the boss for the meteor shower he sent¡­] Yu Yan only then remembered and hurriedly said, ¡°Sorry¡­ I was so nervous just now, I forgot. Thank you for the meteor shower, 1. Thank you Tuantuan for the little stars¡­¡± He read out the IDs that had just thrown him gifts and thanked them one by one. No. 1 suddenly asked, ¡°Who is 1 ya? Can someone tell me about them?¡± The meaning of these words were obvious that she had logged into her ount and was lurking in the stream. The barrage immediately gave her the run-down. [1 is a boss of this livestream. It seems that they¡¯ve been here from the inception of this stream.] [The boss doesn¡¯t visit often, but they send a meteor shower every time theye.] [The boss is newbie in PUBG. When the two of them y together, the anchor gives Boss 1 everything, it¡¯s as if he¡¯s protecting his own child.] ¡°Oh shit,¡± No. 1 pped. ¡°I¡¯m going to ship these two together!¡± No. 2 asked, ¡°Are they the one ranked first on the stars sending list? Male or female?¡± [Male, and his voice is extremely nice to listen to! When I hear even a little bit, my legs go soft¡­] [I can answer this question! The nickname that Boss gave to the anchor is, ¡®little anchor¡¯!] No. 2 eximed, ¡°Crap, shipping these two!! Tossing away the anchor!¡± Yu Yan became so anxious that he wanted to explode himself with a grenade. The more everyone chatted in the barrage, the more high they got. 1 still steadily stayed in the stream, but was as silent as always. Yu Yan only managed to say something after a long time, ¡°You guys, don¡¯t talk nonsense.¡± He walked into a house in the grasnds, saw a gun lying in front of him, and finally found something that could change the topic. ¡°This was the gun they added in the update today ba? Would you guys like to see me y while using the M416 or this new gun? People say this gun isn¡¯t easy to use.¡± [What gun would Boss 1 like to see the anchor y with?] [If you say it like that, the M24 could count as a token of affection between them?] Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± In this match, he basically couldn¡¯t move two steps without having to look at the barrage. Then, he was annoyed by the YY channel his stream followers had half-jokingly set up, causing his performance to be severely affected. With great difficulty, he managed to fight and dodge enemies in the fields until he reached the semi-final circle, but then was headshotted while he was stuck in his trance. As they returned to the game lobby, Yu Yan wanted to quickly leave the party. These three female anchors were too powerful and he waspletely overwhelmed. The cellphone in front of him suddenly dinged. 1: What does the barrage mean when they say they¡¯re shipping us? Yu Yan: ¡­. 1: En? Yu Yan replied with trembling fingers: I¡¯m also not too sure. 1: Oh. 1: You sang the song very cutely. He really did hear everything ba!! Yu Yan wanted to cry but failed to shed any tears and struggled to save himself. However, in the end, he had just typed out the word ¡°I¡± when another message appeared on his cellphone. 1: Some people privately messaged me and asked if they could draw doujins of us. 1: What do they mean by doujins? Portraits? Drawing our game characters or something? Are these people devils?!!! You don¡¯t even know what we look like, so how are you supposed to draw doujins of us ah!! Tell me ah!!! Yu Yan: ¡­ Yes, portraits. You can just refuse. 1: Oh, I agreed. Yu Yan: ???? ¡ª The author has something to say: The title of the song in the chapter is ¡°My mic brings everyone to the yard.¡± I¡¯ve wanted to write this plot for a long time. My friend said that readers who haven¡¯t heard the song may not get augh, but I can¡¯t control what I write. Thank you for your support. ¡ª Juurensha: Ahahahaha, oh Boss Yi, you and Yanyan have so many shippers already¡­. Divi: The shippers are here!!! Yanyan, you¡¯re so cute, must have a burning face right now. Tranting the song was hard, to match the intonation with the rhythm, but you guys can slightly sing along. LOL Noks: Yanyan¡¯s tone-deafness has been exposed!! But Boss Yi called it cute¡­ That¡¯s what all shippers like best, and also why they be shippers¡­ just like us. xD Please check out and support the raws if you can!

Edited by Divetus and Noks The three female anchors hadn¡¯t started their own livestream sessions yet since most entertainment anchors streamed in the evening. Their fans had nowhere to go, so they all rushed to Yu Yan¡¯s livestream. His livestream¡¯s viewer count instantly shot up to 70,000, and the amount of iing private messages was even more astonishing, already numbering in the thousands. However, despite having numerous private messages, he still found the one about the doujins¡ªthe other party didn¡¯t get a reply and thus had sent him more than 20 private messages in a row, which became very noticeable in his message list. ¡°Are you there? Can I draw a doujin illustration of you and Boss?¡± ¡°When you see this, can you give me a reply?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t reply, I¡¯m going to count it as you just tacitly approving ah.¡± Because he had opened these private messages on theputer, all of them were seen by the viewers. [Wtf, even doujin illustrations have appeared. What kind of otherworldly genius stream follower is this?] [Although I¡¯d like to see the doujin illustration, what¡¯s with this way of talking? If you don¡¯t reply, I¡¯m going to count it as you just tacitly approving? Are they a primary school student?] Yu Yan replied immediately: No way. ¡°Are you still ying?¡± Tuantuan asked. Yu Yan was preparing to refuse when his QQ suddenly dinged. Your Great Lord Lu: Holy shit, bro, you seemed to have defied thews of nature? Yu Yan: ? Your Great Lord Lu: Your livestream¡¯s current poprity level is 210,000, and it¡¯s being directly showcased on the PUBG category¡¯s popr list on the homepage! Without having a camera on, StarTV¡¯s algorithm wouldn¡¯t allow you to be ced on the front page rmendations, but the tform wouldn¡¯t impose those limitations for someone who just suddenly shot up in poprity. Yu Yan was stunned. Although he didn¡¯t know how the 210,000 poprity level was calcted¡­ It was already an amazing number. His mouse cursor, which was hovering over the leave team button, immediately stopped. Right now, on one side was poprity, and on the other side was his life. ¡°Come on, we¡¯ll y Sanhok this match. My Sanhok game is pretty strong, I can just barely get into the top ten in every match!¡± No. 1 saw his hesitation and urged him. Sanhok? Just barely top ten? It was truly a nightmare. ¡°¡­ y.¡± Life was precious, and his game reputation even more so, but if it was for stream poprity, both could be thrown away. He clicked the ready button, and Tuantuan immediately queued for the match. But for some reason, even after 30 seconds, they still hadn¡¯t gotten into a match. No. 2 wondered, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with this ah? Isn¡¯t the queue usually just for a few seconds?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll try cancelling it and requeuing us.¡± Tuantuan asked, ¡°By the way, are you going to participate in the anchorpetition ah?¡± Yu Yan paused, and after confirming that Tuantuan was asking him, he said, ¡°Don¡¯t know yet.¡± Tuantuan seemed to be very familiar with how the tform worked and straightforwardly asked, ¡°Have you received the system¡¯s notification?¡± ¡°¡­ Yes.¡± ¡°Then, what¡¯s there to hesitate about? Just participating and getting the Myriads of Lights is good too.¡± No. 1 added, ¡°That¡¯s right. Do you have any idea how popr thispetition is? Because viewers also get rewards during thepetition, the tform traffic explodes during that period of time. I remember thest year¡¯s ¡®Best Anchor of the Year¡¯ was¡­ a male LoL anchor ba? In the half a month of thepetition alone, the value of the gifts he received exceeded the prize money.¡± ¡°&#k2026;¡± Yu Yan¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed in his throat. ¡°Wasst year¡¯s prize money the same amount as this year¡¯s?¡± ¡°Not exactly, but yeah, it¡¯s almost the same. There¡¯s 20% more this year.¡± So,st year¡¯s ¡®Best Anchor of the Year¡¯ managed to receive gifts totalling over 800,000 yuan? With respect to getting gifts, male anchors were always at a disadvantagepared to female anchors. Although they were popr, the amount of gifts received were far less than that of the female anchors in entertainment channels. In half a month, over 800,000 yuan from only gifts&#k2026; It was already terrifying. Of course, they didn¡¯t only rely on gift money, it was just a bit of extra ie. Although the chance of winning the prize was very small, getting the rmended position on the front page would help to attract new viewers. It would be very beneficial for him if he got the rmended position after the end of his probation. Yu Yan was moved. ¡°Strange, why haven¡¯t we found a match yet?¡± Tuantuan muttered to herself. ¡°I¡¯ll requeue again.¡± As a result, just after Tuantuan cancelled the queue, Yu Yan¡¯s screen froze and only his game character was left in the interface. Tuantuan asked, ¡°Eh? What happened? I don¡¯t see you guys.¡± No. 1 hurriedly said, ¡°Same with me.¡± Yu Yan directly runched the game. Sure enough, the game showed a ¡°Servers are too busy at the moment¡± message. ¡°The server exploded.¡± [Fuck! Exploded again?!] [I really have to hand it to Bluehole. PUBG is so popr right now, but they still haven¡¯t taken advantage of this to properly fix their shitty server. It explodes every day. Every single day. How are we supposed to fucking y?!] [The gaming experience is so poor. I originally wanted to watch the livestream, but when I came in, I remembered that the server had exploded. Now I can¡¯t even watch the livestream.] [Waiting for a server to apologize.] The barrage was full of people either cursing or joking about the servers. It had to be said though, that Bluehole¡¯s servers were actually terrible. This month, it had been slightly better, butst month, the official PUBG Weibo had to apologize every day and every such post was riddled with dislikes. Since this was the case, Yu Yan also didn¡¯t have to worry about whether to y or not anymore. He was relieved. ¡°Well, there¡¯s nothing we can do about it. I¡¯ll close the game¡­¡± No. 1 said, ¡°Wait a minute ah, shall we y something else?¡± ¡°Huh? What would we y?¡± No. 1 replied, ¡°LoL? I¡¯m a really good support, a big-boobed adorable Mei.¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± He almost choked. ¡°Jie, I¡¯ll call you Jie only once. Don¡¯t be like this, if you keep talking like that, my stream is going to be suspended.¡± Recently, the tform¡¯s management had been very particrly strict. Almost all of the livestreams that liked to teeter on the edge of the bannable offenses had been suspended within half a month. Previously, Yu Yan had drawn a stream follower who liked to use dirtynguage, and before the match was even over, he had received a system warning. Only upon finally managing to get the three Buddhas to leave did he let out a long sigh of relief. His cellphone vibrated gently. 1: Anchorpetition? Yu Yan: Yes, it¡¯s apetition being held by the tform. 1: Oh, are you participating? Yu Yan: I¡­ should be participating ba. He waited for a long time without receiving a reply, and was about to put down his cellphone when a message popped up. 1: I¡¯ve read through the rules. Most of them are reasonable, you can participate. Yu Yan was stunned. He didn¡¯t expect that the other party would go to read the rules for him. Even he himself was toozy to read the dozens of rules ah. Yu Yan: En¡­ the prize is also very rich. 1: Alright. [What¡¯s the anchor doing? Afking?] [Probably went to the bathroom, ba.] ¡°Sorry, something came up.¡± He snapped out of it and said, ¡°Right, I¡¯ll change servers and see if I can y.¡± After switching between several servers sessively, Yu Yan found that only the Southeast Asian server was still alive. [They secretly switched the Southeast Asian server with everyone else¡¯s servers!] Yu Yanughed, ¡°Probably.¡± The Southeast Asian server was like the other servers¡¯ little brother, and it was also the worst quality server. It had very annoying problems like the constant crashing of the game lobby and frequent in-gameg. The yer levels in this server were also the lowest by default. Usually, Yu Yan never yed on this server very much. He took advantage of the wait required to connect to the server and sent a message to 1. Yu Yan: Are youing? Southeast Asian server, very suitable for noobs. 1: It¡¯s not convenient. You can y ba, I¡¯ll just watch. Yu Yan: Okay. ¡ª Yu Yan acted as a daddy on the Southeast Asian server for the entire day. Because the Asian servers were fried, the teammates he got matched with were pretty much all Chinese, and there were no problems withmunication. He got to eat chicken four times in one afternoon; he was in a very good condition. At the end of a match, a yellow vest suddenly appeared in the barrage. [2: Xiao Yan, I¡¯m here. Can I get on your bus?] ¡°Yes, get on the Southeast Asian server ba.¡± Yu Yan exined, ¡°The other servers are down and are currently still under maintenance.¡± Yi Ran joined the game lobby with a yawn. He had just woken up. ¡°These broken servers are actually so trash. Your friend isn¡¯ting?¡± ¡°He has ss all day today.¡± ¡°Oh, are you guys still students ah?¡± Yu Yanughed, ¡°He is, I¡¯m not.¡± ¡°Graduated?¡± Yi Ran said, ¡°Listening to you, it doesn¡¯t sound like it ah. You sound like a little kid.¡± ¡°En.¡± Yu Yan paused, ¡°Graduated from junior high school.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The second young master of the Yi family had basically grown up in a greenhouse, and every person he came into contact with was smarter than the previous one. He didn¡¯t have any qualms when he asked the question, but he didn¡¯t expect to identally expose the other person¡¯s shorings. He was about to say something when his cellphone suddenly dinged. He looked down and was astonished¡ª¡ª His Ge actually sent him a WeChat message?! They had been WeChat friends for three years and it had always been only him sending his Ge messages, while his Ge had never returned the favor. Not a single message!! Yi Chen: Just y the game, why do you have to talk so much nonsense? ¡°¡­¡± Yi Ran looked up and saw Yi Chen¡¯s ID in the viewer list. Yi Ran: Wait, Ge, aren¡¯t you at thepany right now? Yi Chen didn¡¯t reply again. He tossed his cellphone to the side and stared at the barrage in front of him. His eyes slightly narrowed. [Just graduated from junior high school? That¡¯s a bit of an exaggeration ba.] [What¡¯s so strange about that? Many anchors have low educational backgrounds. Otherwise, who else would open up a livestream to get cursed at?] [But it¡¯s too low. The few that I¡¯ve seen, at least they have a high school education. I thought that only my parents¡¯ generation would have just a junior high school education¡­] [Did a junior high school education provoke you? Did it eat all of your family¡¯s rice? Idiot.] [It¡¯s really true that anyone can be an anchor now.] Yi Ran¡¯s simple question had triggered an educational background war in the barrage. Yu Yan nced at the barrage and softly said, ¡°It¡¯s due to family reasons that I didn¡¯t continue my studies. I also don¡¯t think there are any problems with just having a junior high school education. You guys canugh at me, but you can¡¯t involve others, or I¡¯ll be suspended. Not everyone¡¯s life is smooth sailing, so learn to be more understanding of each other ba.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Yi Ran quickly added, ¡°Don¡¯t quarrel ah, this topic is already over.¡± The stream moderator promptly appeared, directly banned all on-screen chat, and kicked out the viewers who had started this war. Soon, the cursing storm was stopped. Seeing that he had inadvertently caused so much trouble for Yu Yan, Yi Ran felt a little guilty. After all on-screen chat was banned, he tossed out a meteor inpensation. Because there was only one gift message, those abusive words were still disyed in the chat box. The stream moderator was ready to clear the chat box when the webpage suddenly froze¡ª¡ª [1 has sent a meteor shower to yanxyan¡¯s livestream] [1 has sent a meteor shower to yanxyan¡¯s livestream] ¡­ The stream was spammed with meteor showers more than a dozen times, and it didn¡¯t stop until the hurtful words were all pushed out of sight from the chat box. Yu Yan was stunned. After a while, the on-screen chat ban was automatically lifted, and thousands of lines appeared in the barrage¡ª¡ª [I¡¯m a fan of this CP now. Lying t at the bottom of this pit and waiting for flowers to bloom.] [This small gift isn¡¯t much of a tribute, but just count it as my wedding gift for you two.] [If you like a person, even if you cover your mouth and eyes, love will still pour out of your wallet.] ¡ª Juurensha: Guys, don¡¯t pick on Yanyan for his education! He has reasons, and he works so hard! Divi: Educational background doesn¡¯t dictate how well you do in society. Please don¡¯t pick on Yanyan when he has reasons and it¡¯s not because he¡¯szy or academically struggling! Boss Yi, you keep doing you!!! Noks: +1. Yanyan is a very young man who is earning to provide for himself, and he is doing that well, I must say. Education is important, but sometimes life throws you a curveball, and you have to learn to live with it. I can just imagine the struggles that Yanyan must have gone through to reach a stable period in his life right now, and it breaks my heart to think about someone so young (16-18) having to face all that. Worse yet, it¡¯s reflective of reality, where many young people don¡¯t have ess to education or simply can¡¯t afford it, because they have to think about fulfilling their and their families¡¯ basic needs first. Please check out and support the raws if you can! Chapter 26 - Ill wait for you. Chapter 26 - I¡¯ll wait for you. Edited by Divetus and Noks Meteor showers were one of the more expensive gifts, so there were tform-wide livestream announcements for them. A dozen of them amounted to tens of thousands of yuan, which was quite eye-catching. Although StarTV had arge amount of traffic, not everyone would throw tens of thousands of yuan to an anchor all at once, especially in this case, where the recipient of the gifts was an unknown male game anchor. Yu Yan was still in shock as he watched the number of viewers in his livestream rise up to a staggering amount. Even when he regained hisposure, the magnificent special effects of the meteor shower had only yed seven times, thus the entire webpage was still gorgeously embellished. His heart leaped, and he picked up his cellphone. Yu Yan: Did you click the wrong thing? Why did you suddenly send so many gifts? The other side didn¡¯t reply, and even the ¡°typing¡± notification was missing. Yi Ran was also stunned, although it wasn¡¯t because he thought it was too much money. In his Ge¡¯s eyes, a few paltry tens of thousands of yuan probably didn¡¯t even count as a strand of hair, just moving his fingers would be more tiresome. He was just surprised that his Ge would actually smash so many gifts at an anchor! He had been able to convince himself that his Ge didn¡¯t understand the rules when he had given the asional one or two meteor showers before, and that he had just thrown gifts to board the carry bus to y the game. Now, it was obvious that this was not the case ah, this was even during his work hours. ¡°Uhh,¡± Yi Ran asked, ¡°Shall we start bei?¡± Yu Yan responded, ¡°¡­ Okay.¡± He obviously wasn¡¯t in a gaming state and instead yed while in a trance. Fortunately, all the enemies he encountered seemed to be even more dazed than him. He failed to control his gun recoil several times, but somehow, he always ended up as the winner of the gunfights. [I finally saw a recoil¡­] [This is a master¡¯s achievement, to be able to snipe the edge of someone while simultaneously ying on his phone. Unexpectedly, the other side can¡¯t even beat him!] [What do you guys know?! This is called the giddiness of happiness!] The two of them yed one match and died in the semi-final circle. Yu Yan said, ¡±Let¡¯s take a break from ying. It¡¯s dinner time, going to eat before continuing.¡± ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Yi Ran said, ¡°I¡¯m hungry, too.¡± As Yi Ran said that, he nced at the star rankings list. Whatever, his Ge was still hanging around in the stream and his profile picture was on top of all the other stream followers. It was like they were worshipping Buddha. Typically, Yu Yan didn¡¯t stop streaming even during his meal times. After all, his stream followers were currently in the stream, and even if he only stopped the stream for ten minutes, he would still end up losing a lot of poprity. He would usually put on a variety show or a movie and watch it at 2x speed while eating and chatting with his stream followers. After Yi Ran left, he asked without thinking, ¡°What movie does everyone want to see?¡± The barrage was instantly spammed with movie titles, but Yu Yan wasn¡¯t in the mood to actually choose a movie. He opened the home page of a video streaming software and clicked on a random movie before expanding it to fullscreen. Because he had been worried that he would lose track of time with his normal livestream schedule, he had ced long-term orders with several takeout stores. The takeout stores would deliver the takeout to him five days a week, at the appointed time. It wasn¡¯t the agreed delivery time yet, so Yu Yanid down on the bed beside his table. His back that had be stiff after a whole day of sitting down finally slightly rxed. He used his cellphone to open the livestream tform app and directly found the administrator. yanxyan: Pardon the interruption. Excuse me, if a stream follower identally made a mistake and sent a lot of expensive gifts, can they apply for a refund from the tform? Administrator 03: ¡­ Administrator 03: Of course they can. I will try my best to serve that stream follower. ? Why was the administrator suddenly so easy to persuade? Yu Yan was still wondering about it when a message popped up on his phone. 1: [voice] With almost no hesitation, he quickly entered WeChat and ced his phone by his ear to listen to it. ¡°Was just busy. Have you eaten yet?¡± The man¡¯s words had nothing to do with their previous chats. His tone was casual, and Yu Yan could hear other people¡¯s voices in the background. Yu Yan listened to it several times before he actually typed an answer. Yu Yan: Not yet&#k2026; I just asked the administrator, and he said that if a gift was mistakenly sent, you can apply for a refund! This time, the voice message he received was very short, only one second long. ¡°You keep it.¡± Yu Yan instantly felt like he had been hit by something, his whole body bing soft and tingly. He took a deep breath and continued typing. Yu Yan: That¡¯s not too good, are you still busy? Otherwise, how about we chat more about it when you¡¯re done? This time, the other side directly replied with a text. 1: Talk at night. ¡ª ¡°I¡¯ve only been in ss for a day, what happened?¡± asked Lu Xiuhe as soon as he entered the game lobby. ¡°Originally, I wanted to watch your livestream, but ultimately, the professor sat directly in front of me. I couldn¡¯t help but give some face to his old self¡­ This is a university, who still tries to catch students ying on their cellphones in ss ah!¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°There are people in the SW direction.¡± ¡°Ah? Oh, oh¡­¡± After the two of them brought down the enemy together, Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°Are you going to stop streaming after you finish this match?¡± It was half past ten now. Yu Yan looked down at his cellphone. It was silent, with no new message notifications. ¡°Not going to stop streaming.¡± He looked up and casually said, ¡°Since the stream followers are so enthusiastic today, I¡¯ll stream for two more hours.¡± Wait another two hours, and if 1 still hadn¡¯t arrived¡­ He¡¯ll end the stream then. By the time the match ended, it was 10:55 p.m. [Boss 1 still hasn¡¯t appeared? The anchor is about to stop streaming. It couldn¡¯t be that we scared him away ba? Idly moring for Boss at a distance QAQ. We simply just want to nibble on a CP, guarantee that we¡¯ll just YY in our hearts, we¡¯ll never disturb you guys!!] [Want to see the anchor y Sanhok, Erangel isn¡¯t exciting ah.] [I¡¯m just different, I¡¯m only here to see if there are any female anchors around (?)] ¡°Sanhok?¡± Yu Yan switched maps. ¡°Okay.¡± [Is the anchor going to do a lottery to take stream followers along? Or, I¡¯ll toss a little star and you can take me on the carry bus ba? QAQ] Yu Yan nced at the barrage and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I won¡¯t be taking any stream followers tonight, just ying duos¡­ I¡¯ve written down your ID,e tomorrow ba, and I¡¯ll take you then.¡± No one had expected Yu Yan to be this amodating. Immediately, many other stream followers also sent over messages, but Yu Yan didn¡¯t respond anymore. He was about to y the match when an enormous special effect suddenly appeared at the top of the page. It was a carriage made of stars, which carried¡­ 1¡¯s system default profile picture. [Guardian 1 has entered the livestream] [Anchor is awesome ah, already has a guardian¡­] [That doesn¡¯t mean anything, other big anchors can¡¯t even pack all their guardians on their star ranking lists.] [You said it yourself, ¡°other big anchors¡±. Our anchor has been streaming for less than two weeks ba!] The livestream tform had different tiers for bosses. Those who gave 1000 yuan or less to one anchor were called ¡°Star Givers¡±, those who gave 3000 yuan or less were called ¡°Star Emissaries¡±, and those who gave more than 5000 yuan were called ¡°Great Star Emissaries¡±. Those who gave more than 20,000 yuan were called ¡°Guardians¡±. StarTV¡¯s donator titles were very distinct, unlike other livestream tforms that all did titles such as ¡°Aristocrats¡± and ¡°Earls¡±. In addition, the corresponding star symbol would also appear in front of the boss¡¯ ID. At present, the highest title a boss could have in a livestream was Guardian. It was said that there was an even higher title, but that hadn¡¯t yet appeared. The Guardian bosses couldn¡¯t verify the authenticity of this rumor, and they also weren¡¯t willing to aimlessly spend money to gain this title. Yu Yan¡¯s heart leaped, his eyes slightly brightened, and he blurted out, ¡°1¡­ You¡¯re here ah.¡± Yi Chen sat in his chair while untying his tie. Something unexpected hade up in thepany today; the members of a project team had juste out of probation, so he simply stayed and audited their meeting in the conference room before leaving. He hadn¡¯t forgotten his appointment with the little anchor. He had made sure in advance that he could get home before the agreed time with the other party. Hearing his ID, he raised his eyebrows. Yu Yan had subconsciously said those words but then recalled that the other party didn¡¯t like to talk on the public screen. He was about to switch to WeChat when he saw a colorful dialog box appear on the public screen. [1: En, had some things, a bitte.] [Fuck!! Take a group screenshot! Hold onto Boss 1¡¯s shoes!!] [Apparently, they made an appointment ahhhhhhh! What is love? This is love!!] [Hello everyone, I¡¯m new here. Excuse me, but do we just directly eat fluff here?] It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over; Yu Yan felt that if the barrage continued on like this, 1 would figure out what ¡°shipping¡± meant. ¡°No problem, no problem!¡± He said, ¡°y PUBG?¡± [?? Didn¡¯t you just say that you weren¡¯t taking any stream followers and were just going to y duos?] [Ah, men are all big pig trotters.] [1: Shouldn¡¯t you stop streaming now?] ¡°Streaming a little longer today.¡± Since he had already promised that to his stream followers, there was no reason to go back on his word. [1: I¡¯m logging in.] A few minutester, another game character appeared on Yu Yan¡¯s game interface. Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Good evening, Boss! Then Xiao Yan, are we going to make a squad?¡± ¡°Anything¡¯s fine, there¡¯s still a spot left. Get a random?¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°1, is that personing? It looks like he has been hanging around the stream this whole time from what I can see.¡± [2: I¡¯ming ah!! Fuck man, you just said that you weren¡¯t taking any stream followers. I thought that I squatted here for nothing tonight. I¡¯m logging in!] The four of them queued into Sanhok. Yi Ran crossed his legs and looked at the anchor¡¯s and his Ge¡¯s game IDs. ¡­ For the whole day today, he had read love stories made up by these stream followers. Now, he kept feeling strange when looking at these two people. Yu Yan asked, ¡°Where should we jump to?¡± Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°Jump to Bootcamp?¡± Yi Ran quickly said, ¡°No ah, I don¡¯t like the Bootcamp. Let¡¯s jump to Ruins.¡± ¡°There are too many people there¡­¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°1, where do you want to jump to?¡± Yi Chen had already gotten used to Yu Yan asking for his opinion before each jump. As usual, he responded, ¡°Up to you.¡± Finally, everyone decided to jump to Ruins. ¡°1,nd here with me.¡± Yu Yan marked a corner of Ruins on the map. ¡°There are too many people in the middle. I¡¯lle with you to collect some guns here. You can search the middle once I¡¯ve cleared the ce.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°First pick up a gun, and then go there together.¡± Yi Ran asked, ¡°What about me?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Yu Yan looked at the position of the other two. ¡°Just follow where Lu Xiuhe jumps ba.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The two of them jumped to a small area beside Ruins. Yu Yan was the first one tond in the area, and found an AKM at thending spot. He immediately picked up the ammo and directly killed the enemy who was about tond there a few secondster. This time, they were lucky, as only three teams had jumped to Ruins along with them. Although Lu Xiuhe and Yi Ran asionally got into trouble, they also had a bit of strength. Adding on Yu Yan, the undying gunslinger, there was no struggle for them to win this territorial battle. Yi Chen¡¯s hands were getting the feel for this game, and he also got a kill. The enemy¡¯s game character got struck into the wall because he ate too many bullets from Yi Chen, and as a result, the lootbox was only half exposed, with the rest of it being stuck inside a wall. Yi Chen went up and looted everything before he was ready to leave. But he realized¡­ that he couldn¡¯t move. His game character was stuck in the wall, and jumping, crouching or climbing, all proved to be useless. After a long time, he gave up. ¡°It looks like I¡¯m stuck in a bug.¡± Yu Yan wasn¡¯t too far away from him and immediately ran over to see the man embedded in the wall. ¡°This kind of bug always urs after a server maintenance. Can you try jumping?¡± ¡°Already tried jumping, doesn¡¯t work.¡± ¡°This broken game, always having problems every one or two days. Ge, why don¡¯t you¡­¡± Yi Ran spoke up to this point, but then suddenly fell silent. He had almost dropped the phrase ¡°Why don¡¯t you just buy out the game ba¡±¡­ He coughed twice and asked, ¡°So what do we do now ah? We¡¯re not in the circle.¡± ¡°You guys go ba.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°There¡¯s no other choice, Boss. I¡¯ll strive to die early to start the next match.¡± Two people ran out of Ruins and found that it was raining outside. The game had a weather system¡ªthings like thunderstorms, fog, and other weather effects would greatly affect their vision. They ran and ran but then noticed that they were missing a person. Lu Xiuhe eximed, ¡°Wtf, Xiao Yan, why are you still there ah?!¡± Yu Yan¡¯s game character was still standing beside 1. ¡°You guys go first.¡± He continued, ¡°I¡¯ll find a way.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know the bug. There¡¯s no window nearby so Boss can¡¯t get out.¡± Yu Yan still didn¡¯t budge. Yi Chen looked at the person dazedly standing in front of him. ¡°It¡¯s okay, you should run into the poison circle¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, the game character in front of him suddenly moved. He just heard the voice of the little anchor, excitedly saying, ¡°I¡¯ve thought of a method.¡± With the sound of a few items dropping, two first-aid kits and a dozen bandages appeared in front of Yi Chen. Yu Yan repeatedly implored him, ¡°Wait for me here. When the poison circle closes in on you, take the medicine.¡± Yi Chen was taken aback a bit by surprise. After a while, he asked, ¡°Then, do you have any medicine?¡± ¡°Yes, I kept some.¡± After he finished tossing everything to Yi Chen, Yu Yan turned around and ran, leaving only a trailing voice as he shouted, ¡°Wait for me ah, I¡¯ll be back soon!¡± Yu Yan ran out of Ruins and hung his gun on his back. Suddenly, there was silence in his headphones, apanied only by the pattering of rain and the sound of footsteps. It was a long time before he heard an answer. The man¡¯s voice was deep, carrying a hint of unrestrainedughter. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Guardian Yi now has to be protected by Yanyan in game! Divi: PUBG had a lot of bugs that also showed up on the mobile release. If you have teammates though, getting a bug isn¡¯t the end of the world. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and Yanyan will protect Boss Yi or die trying!

And you guys can buy the published version here! Chapter 27 - You’ll feel jilted when he turns on the camera Chapter 27 - You¡¯ll feel jilted when he turns on the camera Edited by Divetus and Noks Yu Yan had to open his inventory when he tossed the medicine, so the viewers could actually clearly see his item status. At this time, the barrage was already impassioned. [2/3 first aid kits and 13/15 bandages were all given to Boss.] [Such a math wizard, sweetie.] [I don¡¯t know what these women are so excited about. I only want to say that the anchor should just concentrate on ying the game, okay?? What¡¯s the point of ying this way?] [If you don¡¯t like watching, you can leave ah! Can¡¯t you see the stream¡¯s title??] Before starting their livestream, every anchor would think of an eye-catching title for themselves. The others had titles such as ¡°Asia server¡¯s Top 10¡±, ¡°Server¡¯s #1 sniper¡±, or ¡°Already ate X chickens in a row¡±¡­ When looking at Yu Yan¡¯s title, it was just two words¡ª[yanxyan: Casually ying]. Lu Xiuhe had already mentioned the problem of Yu Yan¡¯s livestream title to him more than once. He wanted Yu Yan to change it to something better, such as ¡°Asia Server¡¯s Former #1, or ¡°#1 Gunslinger¡±; Yu Yan had rejected all such title suggestions. He thought that, the moment a title like that was posted up, the livestream pressure would increase. ¡°I¡¯m still ying the game properly.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to always win when ying, you need to learn to enjoy the process.¡± Yi Ran suddenly thought of something. ¡°Right, can¡¯t this bug be fixed by being blown up by a frag grenade and then getting revived?¡± ¡°It¡¯s pointless!¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°I¡¯ve experienced the bug before. The explosion did kill me, but my game character was still stuck there. This bug seems to have been hotfixed before, but it probably came back because of the maintenance.¡± ¡°Then, what other fucking solutions are there?¡± Yu Yan had now already run to the road. He looked in all four directions and answered, ¡°Looking for a vehicle.¡± Yi Chen looked at his position. ¡°Can a vehiclee up?¡± He was at the top of Ruins. To get up here, all yers would have to either go up the stairs or have alreadynded here. ¡°Yes.¡± Yu Yan added, ¡°A motorcycle can.¡± ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen leaned against his chair. ¡°If you can¡¯t find one, just directly leave.¡± Yu Yan pursed his lips. ¡°I¡¯ll find one, I know the nearby car spawn points.¡± As he said that, he had already found one car spawn point. A four-wheeled buggy, useless. [Enter the circle ba.] [You only have half your health left, with only one first aid kit¡­] Yu Yan passed by a small house in the field, picked up the first aid kit at the door, andughed, ¡°Now, I have two.¡± He ran to the next car spawn point, and saw another four-wheeled vehicle. ¡°Another car?¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Wtf, when we actually want a four-wheeled vehicle, we can¡¯t find one. Now that we¡¯re not looking for one, they¡¯re parked like they would be at a wedding.¡± Yu Yan took a first aid kit and continued running. ¡°1, you¡¯re almost out of health, take a first aid kit now.¡± ¡°En, taking one.¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t bother trying to persuade him to enter the circle. He lightly took a sip of coffee as he opened the livestream app on his cellphone to watch the little anchor¡¯s figure. He said, ¡°Take your time searching, I¡¯m not in a hurry. It¡¯s also fine if you can¡¯t find one.¡± [Hahahahaha, you have so much medicine, of course you¡¯re not in a hurry!] [If he can¡¯t find it, you¡¯ll just live and die together, right?] Yu Yan was looking for the motorcycle, but at the same time, he also looked around to see if there was a mobile lootbox trying to run into the poison circle, which could help him solve his need for medicine right now. If the next car spawn point only had another four-wheeled vehicle, the medicine he had on him might not be enough. The sound of thunder boomed. Yu Yan ran for a while, and through the rain and fog, saw a vehicle in front of him. It was a motorcycle. A glittering motorcycle right beside another car. ¡°I found a motorcycle!¡± Yu Yan quickly ran up to it. As soon as he got on the motorcycle, he did a beautiful U-turn and sped up. ¡°I¡¯ming.¡± The ck-skinned woman rode the motorcycle, traveling through the heavy rain. Yu Yan¡¯s game character was obviously the same type of character as everyone else¡¯s, but his character¡¯s back profile disyed an imposing manner that others didn¡¯t have. [This is such a beautiful love, I¡¯m crying.] [I, who have never spent money on a stream, actually want to smash presents at this anchor.] [To the previous message, unless you want to smash more than 20,000 yuan, don¡¯t expect to get this treatment. Do you see the other boss? Even after sending gifts of several thousand yuan, the anchor didn¡¯t even jump with him. He¡¯s a true money worshipper.] [If you¡¯re just going to talk shit all day, why don¡¯t you also include that the anchor takes other stream followers free of charge every day?] Yu Yan ignored the barrage. He didn¡¯t have much health left, and they needed to get into the inner circle soon. Right now, he was wholeheartedly just trying to make his way back to Ruins. Fortunately, Sanhok was rtively small, and it wouldn¡¯t take long for them to enter the circle by motorcycle. If they were on Erangel instead, he really wouldn¡¯t have had any way to get back. He had good driving skills, so they soon arrived at Ruins. Then, he released the eleration key and carefully drove up the smooth ramp-like surface on the side of the stairs. After he sessfully entered Ruins, Yu Yan drove up to Yi Chen and said, ¡°Come on, see if you can get on the bike?¡± When he finished his words, the person next to him teleported and sat on the motorcycle¡¯s back seat. He breathed a sigh of relief, got off the bike and then started using a first aid kit. ¡°Wait¡­ I¡¯ll take a first aid kit.¡± Yi Chen also got down from the bike and threw some bandages and a bottle of painkillers onto the ground. ¡°Use the bandages first, and when we¡¯re in the circle, take the painkillers.¡± ¡°No need¡­¡± Yu Yan nced at the lower left corner of the screen and noticed that Yi Chen¡¯s health wasn¡¯t full. ¡°You take the painkillers, you can get your health to full.¡± ¡°I know. I specifically left it for you.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Only looted this one.¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± Without hesitation this time, Yu Yan bent down to immediately pick it up and then quickly got back on the bike. With warm ears, he said, ¡°Go. Let¡¯s go ba.¡± The two of them raced all the way towards the circle and then slowed down a bit as they saw that they were about toe upon their teammates. Several shots rang out. Lu Xiuhe loudly eximed, ¡°Fuck! There are people here!¡± Yi Ran also shouted, ¡°To the right!! A full squad¡­ Oh fuck!¡± In the top right corner of Yu Yan¡¯s screen, the messages that his teammates were killed popped up. Yi Ran got headshotted and knocked down by a sniper wielding a Kar98K. ¡°It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over, can¡¯t pull you up. The enemy team is still on you.¡± Lu Xiuhe hurried and asked, ¡°Xiao Yan, have you arrived? Why are you taking so long, did you secretly slow down?¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°¡­ On the way, will be there soon.¡± As soon as he replied, the sound of another heavy gunshot resounded. Lu Xiuhe also got knocked down, but this time by an AWM. ¡°Everything¡¯s done for,¡± Lu Xiuhe said critically. ¡°Xiao Yan, quicklye and help me.¡± Yi Ran screeched, ¡°Fuck me! Someone on the right has been revived¡­¡± Before Yi Ran could finish speaking, he was killed off by the revived enemy¡¯s Groza. Seeing the kill notification, Yu Yan didn¡¯t hesitate and turned the bike straight to the left. ¡°??¡± Lu Xiuhe watched his teammates get further and further away, and asked dumbfoundedly, ¡°What, why are you guys leaving?¡± Yu Yan responded, ¡°It¡¯s toote. After they finish looting No. 2, they¡¯lle and finish you off.¡± ¡°Then, you cane and avenge us ah!¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°They have an AWM and a Groza. I can¡¯t avenge you guys.¡± Because he had been rushing to find a motorcycle, he didn¡¯t search for anything else. He didn¡¯t have much ammo. If there were only one or two enemies, he could think about it, but this was a full squad¡ªthere was no need to just go there and die. Lu Xiuhe: ¡°¡­¡± [The anchor is actually wussing out!] [But there are no ces for you to search now ah, where do you n to go?] Yu Yan drove all the way to a mountainside and then hopped off the bike. ¡°Let¡¯s go, we¡¯ll abandon the motorcycle.¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t ask where they were going and just followed Yu Yan as soon as he got off the motorcycle. The two of them ran to a random tree and thenid prone under it. Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Yu Yan looked ahead and calmly replied, ¡°I¡¯m waiting.¡± Yi Chen swayed his mouse back and forth and asked, ¡°Waiting for what?¡± Just as Yi Chen finished asking that, the person next to him suddenly moved into a crouch position, peeked sideways, took out a gun and then shot. His actions were efficient, with almost no trace of hesitation. Ten shots rang out¡ª¡ª [yanxyan has eliminated HUIHHSZ with an AKM] ¡°Waiting for a lone wolf.¡± Yu Yan ran up and looted the box, ¡°Come, take the gun and kill some people.¡± Thest surviving member of a squad was called the lone wolf. Yi Chenughed. He got up and ran over to loot a fully-decked outSKS. ¡°This gun can get a bit shaky.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°If you can¡¯t snipe after two shots, just run.¡± Yi Chen replied, ¡°Alright.¡± After spectating Yu Yan for a long time, Yi Ran couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Hey, can I apply to jump with you in the next match ah? I think your friend¡¯s a bit unreliable ah.¡± Obviously, he and Lu Xiuhe had taken the lead in entering the circle, but why did he feel like his game experience wasn¡¯t as good as his Ge¡¯s? Yu Yan heard the shuffling sound of someone crawling and instinctively said, ¡°Shh.¡± Yi Chen leisurely exined, ¡°He means no, you can depend on yourself.¡± Yi Ran: ¡°¡­¡± Although they had looted the lone wolf¡¯s inventory, between the two of them, they were still short on supplies. On their way into the next circle, they met the squad that had previously killed Lu Xiuhe and Yi Ran and were killed at the bridge. When they returned to the game lobby, Yi Ran took advantage of Manners za¡¯s 60 second loading time and alt-tabbed to browse through the livestream webpage. ¡°Eh, Xiao Yan, you¡¯re not participating in the anchorpetition? Why don¡¯t I see your name on the participant list?¡± On the anchorpetition¡¯s event page was a list of participants. As long as an anchor had signed up to participate in thepetition, their ID would appear below each relevant award category. Yu Yan paused. ¡°I haven¡¯t signed up yet.¡± Yi Ran asked, ¡°Why not?¡± Yu Yan replied honestly, ¡°Because they require a camera, and I haven¡¯t had time to buy one yet.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s index finger lightly tapped on the table. After a while, he pushed the voice chat button. ¡°Camera?¡± [Oh fuck! Are you finally going to turn on the camera?!] [It¡¯s over, I heard that 99% of the people with good voices are fat nerds¡­] [Don¡¯t ah, I¡¯m begging you. I¡¯m afraid that if you turn on the camera, I won¡¯t be able to continue shipping yours and Boss¡¯ CP!] [Think about it from a different perspective ah, Jies/Meis! If the anchor is in the one percent, then wouldn¡¯t the love between him and Boss be even sweeter?!!] ¡°En, the tform requires that all participating anchors in thepetition must use their cameras.¡± Yu Yan quickly moved his mouse and banned the two YYing stream followers. ¡°What the hell? Who is a fat nerd?¡± After returning from the bathroom, Lu Xiuhe saw the barrage and pped the table. ¡°You guys must be kidding! Xiao Yan is super handsome. There used to be girls peeping at him every day at the Inte Cafe¡­ Really, why would I lie? ¡­ What? Does he look gay or not? ¡­ What does this mean¡­?¡± Yu Yan had a headache. He quickly started another match. Yi Chen suddenly asked, ¡°When will you turn your camera on?¡± ¡°En?¡± Yu Yan was stunned and reflexively answered, ¡°In¡­ In the next two days ba.¡± [You can see your little anchor soon, is Boss excited?!!!] [Boss, you¡¯d better note at that time. Believe me, you¡¯ll feel jilted when he turns on the camera. It¡¯s better to keep the original beauty in your heart.] [Will Bosse to see the anchor¡¯s first video stream??] Yi Chen skimmed over the pile of useless barrage messages and casually picked to answer one of them. He concisely said, ¡°I¡¯ll be there.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Hahaha, they¡¯re both already so sweet. Divi: Can¡¯t wait till all of them start drooling for Yanyan when he turns on the camera, lmao. PUBG bugs are frequent and annoying, it sucks as a yer. But, most of us just leave the match and continue on with our lives LOL. Noks: Haha! Finally, the video stream is here! I want to see the Boss¡¯ reaction so badly!!! Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast, and the picture fromst time was my own personal copies! Chapter 28 - I reasonably suspect——that Xiao Yan definitely has an insider backer in StarTV! Chapter 28 - I reasonably suspect¡ª¡ªthat Xiao Yan definitely has an insider backer in StarTV! Edited by Divetus and Noks Yu Yan instinctively picked up the ss of water beside his hand and guzzled it down. He wasn¡¯t sure why, but turning on the camera was an ordinary practice, so he didn¡¯t have many worries about doing it originally. But, as soon as he heard the words ¡°I¡¯ll be there¡±, his back quivered, and then his entire body started to go numb. To top it all off, his viewers were also joining in on the fun and kicking up a fuss. [I¡¯m just going to live in this stream for the next two days!!!] [Clicking to super follow this anchor. :)] [Unfollowing. Let this rtionship leave the best memories in my heart.] [Can this basically count as a livestream meet up?] [Oh, this fleeting love.] Before exiting the livestream app on his cellphone, Yi Chen caught sight of a line in the barrage. He raised his eyebrow and asked, ¡°Love?¡± His voice had just fallen when the chat box suddenly turned nk¡ª¡ª [yanxyan has cleared the screen.] Yu Yan said some bullshit, ¡°¡­ Going to jump. Everyone, be civilized and just watch the stream. Don¡¯t curse people out, otherwise your message will be cleared or you¡¯ll be kicked out or banned.¡± [???] [Who cursed people out???] Yi Chen looked away from the app and jumped off the ne with his teammates. Yi Ran had also peeped at the barrage and was finally unable to endure it anymore. He looked up and asked the person sitting in front of him, ¡°Ge, how did you find this anchor ah?¡± ¡°Randomly clicked on him.¡± ¡°He¡¯s a new anchor, isn¡¯t he ba? And he could just randomly get clicked on by you?¡± Yi Ran eximed. He suddenly thought of something and then pped his knee. ¡°Ge, since he signed a contract with thepany, shouldn¡¯t there be a picture to go with his information ba? Why don¡¯t you go to thepany and fish it out tomorrow to have a look¡­¡± Yi Chen raised his eyes and nced at him with a gaze that wasn¡¯t gentle or critical; Yi Ran immediately shut up. ¡°That¡¯s employee information. Thepany keeps it on file for business, not to satisfy your curiosity.¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t stop streaming until it was nearly 12:30 a.m. After he turned off the livestream, he didn¡¯t rush to turn off hisputer. He opened up Taobao, thought about it, and then input ¡°webcam¡± into the search bar; countless product descriptions immediately jumped out at him. He clicked to sort the listings by the highest sale volume, and all of them were cheap goods under 30 yuan. The store had countless poor reviews¡ªafter all, you get what you paid for¡ªand these were all just bought for the purpose of video chatting with family members, and etc. No matter how poor the quality was, as long as the person could be seen, it was fine. The girls who would video call their boyfriends wouldn¡¯t even really buy these, let alone livestream anchors. Yu Yan continued scrolling down the listings until he reached cameras with a price range of 600 to 900 yuan. It was only then he remembered that his original budget was just 300 yuan. Your Great Lord Lu: Xiao Yan, do you remember theputer store near my house? They have arge amount ofputer essories, and I¡¯m familiar with the owner¡¯s wife, so I can get a discount. How about youe to me tomorrow, and I¡¯ll go shopping with you? Yu Yan: What are the prices over there? Your Great Lord Lu: Seems to be all around 200 yuan. It¡¯s very cheap. Yu Yan: ¡­ Your Great Lord Lu: What, too expensive? Yu Yan: Is there one with like, lighting? Your Great Lord Lu: ¡­what kind?? Yu Yan paused for a bit. It was no wonder that Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t know what he was talking about, he also didn¡¯t know how to clearly exin it. Just as he was thinking about this, his QQ dinged again. He opened it and saw that it was a message from Tuantuan. After the first time they had yed together, Tuantuan had left her QQ information with him. Although they had added each other as friends, they had never talked. Tuantuan: As the representative of my Jie/Mei group, I¡¯d like to ask you when you n to turn your camera on. ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan: After buying the webcam ba. Tuantuan: You still haven¡¯t bought a webcam yet?? Tuantuan: 82485xxx. Add this QQ ount. We all buy our webcams from her, and she said that she¡¯ll give you the dealer¡¯s price. Yu Yan hurriedly said thanks, and then added the ount from the message. The other party quickly epted the friend request, and the chat box automatically popped out. Before Yu Yan could even type anything, the other side had already zoomed in and sent him several links in a row. Lulu ya: You can see which one you like. The dealer¡¯s price is 500 yuan cheaper than the listed price, and I¡¯ll also include the setup, a stand, and a free-standing fill light. Yu Yan: ¡­ Setup? Lulu ya: Right. To set up the whitening and beautifying effects on your face. Have you seen banana¡¯s livestream? His camera is this one [web link]. Zhu Bajie practically became Pan¡¯an. Lulu ya: Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve just be a fan of your CP. I can¡¯t let your ship die as soon as you meet. ¡°¡­¡± He had just been wondering why she was being so enthusiastic. Lulu ya: You¡¯re going to take part in the anchorpetitionter. If the webcam¡¯s quality is too poor, it¡¯ll definitely scare viewers away. Before, in the LoL category, there was an anchor, the strongest challenger yer in the Ionia server, who used a broken camera, so his face was always blurry. After two months of streaming, his number never exceeded 10,000, but after he changed the camera, he¡¯s now constantly on the hot poprity list. ¡­ It was too real. Yu Yan looked at the links sent by the other party. The prices were around 1000 to 1200, minus 500¡­ It wasn¡¯t uneptable. He looked back and forth, and in the end picked out a ck webcam that looked like it had a simplistic design, and sent its link back to the other side. The other party suddenly started a call. Yu Yan was given a scare and only picked up after a while. ¡°Little Didi, do you also want to buy some background decorations?¡± It was the voice of the No. 1 little Jiejie from Tuantuan¡¯s group. ¡°I¡¯m toozy to type so this way is more convenient formunication.¡± ¡°Okay, what is a background decoration?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a background ovey for livestreams, you can use it to cover up the furniture and etc at home. We all use them.¡± Lulu sent over ten images. Yu Yan opened the images up and was stunned. Arge pink teddy bear, arge beige body pillow, a light pink nket with StarTV¡¯s logo printed on it¡­ At a nce, all the images were pink, white, and yellow. Yu Yan said, ¡°These¡­ aren¡¯t these a bit too fair and tender?¡± ¡°Ah, yes. I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ve sent you the background decorations for female anchors.¡± Lulu froze for a bit. ¡°I¡¯ll resend some links to you.¡± She paused and asked, ¡°So, you don¡¯t like stuff like this?¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± Why did her tone sound disappointed? The links she sent the second time around were finally normal. There were posters of PUBG maps and pillows printed with level 3 helmet designs. Yu Yan opened a calctor, calcted everything one by one, made sure that the price was within an eptable range, and then finally sent the link for the chosen background decorations along with his selected camera model to Lulu. ¡°Eh? Are you from Manyang city?¡± Lulu looked at the address and said, ¡°This factory is in Manyang. How¡¯s this ba, I won¡¯t tell them to mail it, I¡¯ll just have him directly deliver it to you tomorrow.¡± Yu Yan hurriedly said, ¡°I can go pick it up there.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, the dealer¡¯s price already includes the delivery fee. You don¡¯t have to thank me.¡± Yu Yan was deeply moved and sighed, good people still existed in this world. ¡°Just send me a selfie and we¡¯ll call it even.¡± Lulu added, ¡°We¡¯re so thirsty, it¡¯s too hard to endure until tomorrow.¡± ¡ª¡ª At the end of the meeting, Yi Chen took the lead in getting up and leaving. Just after he left the meeting room, his cellphone rang. Yi Ran asked, ¡°Ge, where are you?¡± ¡°At thepany.¡± He nced at his assistant and motioned for him to stop reporting to him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°When will you be back?¡± Yi Ran asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you wanted to watch Xiao Yan turn on the video camera?¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows, ¡°When is it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s today ah! At 8:00 p.m, it¡¯s written on his stream¡­ Did you know that all those female anchors from the entertainment category are here? And they¡¯re all sending presents to Xiao Yan; it¡¯s especially exaggerated!¡± Yi Ran said, ¡°I reasonably suspect¡ª¡ªthat Xiao Yan definitely has an insider backer in StarTV!¡± ¡°Hanging up.¡± ¡°Wait, Ge¡­¡± Yi Chen hung up his phone and put it back into his pocket. He raised his chin towards his assistant. ¡°Go on.¡± The assistant hurriedly let out an ¡°oh¡± and continued reporting. The assistant was just finishing up the report when Yi Chen arrived at the office door. When the secretary saw himing back, he immediately got up and said, ¡°President Yi, Mrs. Yi is waiting for you inside.¡± ¡°Then, I¡¯ll print out the new contract first,¡± the assistant sensibly said. ¡°Go ba.¡± Yi Chen pushed the door open. Mother Yi was there, sitting on the sofa and reading a magazine. When she saw hime in, she smiled. ¡°I was in a bit of a hurry whening here, and forgot to actually ask if you were free.¡± Yi Chen smiled. ¡°It¡¯s okay. Why are you here?¡± ¡°Do you still have work to do?¡± She asked this, but in fact, she already learned his schedule from the secretary. After saying that, she continued, ¡°Your father and I went back to Ennd to attend an art exhibition; I told you about it before, do you remember?¡± Yi Chen sat down at his desk. ¡°I remember. You said that you liked it a lot.¡± ¡°Of course. It was a personal art exhibition, and the owner of the exhibition is a very lovely, beautiful Chinese girl. She¡¯s about your age.¡± Mrs. Yi said with a smile, ¡°She came back to China two days ago and invited me to have dinner with her.¡± As Father Yi and Mother Yi had been abroad for many years, unlike most parents, they were more open to the topic of marriage than others, and didn¡¯t urge Yi Chen to get married. However, if there were any outstanding women around, Mother Yi couldn¡¯t help but want to introduce them to her son. Yi Chen took out his cellphone and turned it on. Apart from some work messages, there was nothing else. Yi Chen had never refused her, so Mrs. Yi didn¡¯t even bring the driver with her this time. When she didn¡¯t get an answer after a long time, she raised her eyebrows in surprise. ¡°What, do you have another appointment?¡± Yi Chen threw his cellphone aside and picked up his suit jacket as he left. ¡°Which restaurant?¡± ¡­. It was nearing 8:00 p.m, and the whole screen had already been blown up by the livestream¡¯s barrage. [Almost 8:00 p.m! Ten minutes left!!] [Fuck, why hasn¡¯t Boss 1e yet? Are they not doing the livestream face-to-face meeting?!] [I¡¯d like to ask why are several female anchors that I¡¯m a fan of all here??? ] [Why the interest in this anchor? He¡¯s a new guy? New guys can have 40,000 poprity? You¡¯re kidding me.] [A man turning on his webcam, what¡¯s so good about that??] Yu Yan held his cellphone while reading out the gifter list. ¡°Thank you Lulu and Tuantuan for your Myriads of Lights. Thank you Orange for the Little Star¡­ Don¡¯t keep spamming gifts guys, just act like usual and watch the stream properly.¡± After that, he put his cellphone back onto the table for the nth time. His chat box with 1 was still open on the cellphone¡¯s screen. [Is Boss 1ing or not? Does he know that the anchor is turning on his video in the livestream today ah?] Yu Yan said to himself, I didn¡¯t tell him, so of course he wouldn¡¯t know. Would a male anchor specifically inform his boss that he was going to turn on his webcam? Unlikely. That would be too strange. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense that he didn¡¯t tell 1. He straightened his heart out and directly flipped his cellphone over. If he kept looking at 1¡¯s full moon profile picture, he wouldn¡¯t be able to stop himself from sending messages. When it was 7:59 p.m, the barrage became increasingly intense. [Boss 1 didn¡¯te, boring.] [Okay, love is over.] [I¡¯m crying, ahhhhhhhh. The face-to-face meeting I wanted to see isn¡¯t happening!! It¡¯s not meant to be!!!] [Still one more minute! We can still hang on to it a bit!!!] Yu Yan was inwardly calm and turned on the camera¡¯s background settings. The moment the clock jumped to 8:00 p.m, he pressed the ¡°finish¡± button. ¡­ Yi Chen dropped his mother off at the restaurant and went straight home. He turned on theputer and directly clicked on his only favorited livestream. The moment he entered the stream, the small anchor¡¯s desktop wallpaper was immediately covered by other windows, and the video interface filled the entire screen¡ª¡ª It was a bright environment with game posters in the background, and behind him were several PUBG game items. The boy quietly sat in the gaming chair. His hair was cleanly cut, looking fresh and cool. His eyes were bright and ck with very distinct plump lower eyelids, making his eyes look soft. The bridge of his nose was very straight and tall, and below that, his lips were gently pursed. He was dressed in a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. The slender white arms revealed their owner¡¯s slim body. ¡°Ah.¡± The boy suddenly let out an embarrassedugh, exposing a small tiger tooth. ¡°Sorry, forgot to adjust the size of the video window.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: You¡¯re not disappointed, huh, Boss Yi? Divi: Look at that glorious description. Now look at the pictures we have of Yanyan. Mmmm, Boss Yi, you lucked out! Noks: Yes!!! A very adorable and handsome Yanyan! For a moment there, I thought Boss Yi would go for that meeting, but he just dropped his mother off and reached home right on the dot! And for our face reveal chapter, go check out the novel page for the new and updated cover (from volume 3 that Divi helpfully edited to be more clear!) Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast, and the picture fromst time was my own personal copies! Chapter 29 - Misfire Chapter 29 - Misfire Edited by Divetus and Noks Yi Chen also didn¡¯t understand why he had chosen to return home. The little anchor hadn¡¯t invited him. From the start, the little anchor hadn¡¯t cared about his boss at all. That was just fine. For example, if you were a brand¡¯s VIP customer, would that brand not inform you when new products would be released in the new season? Yes, the brand would notify you by text, email or even through a phone call, and would look forward to your next visit. But then he thought about it. After all, this was still just a small manufacturer. The little anchor wasn¡¯t very proficient in business, and Yi Chen¡¯s investment in him was just like a sprinkle of water, so he couldn¡¯t even hold the other party to the strict standards of big manufacturers. Especially now, when he was very satisfied with this small manufacturer¡¯s products. Yu Yan finished his sentence and found that the barrage¡¯s speed had grown visibly slower. He doubtfully frowned and reached towards the camera, waving his hand a bit. ¡°Can you guys see me? Or did I set it up wrong?¡± As soon as his voice fell, countless gifts appeared in the lower left corner, whizzing by very quickly. The barrage swooped in with a force simr to that of a thousand galloping troops, and the resulting screen was already so dense that words couldn¡¯t be made out at all¡ª¡ª [Holy crap! I¡¯m dead!! What the fuck is this top-quality little Gege?!!] [Laozi has watched livestreams for six years and has never seen such a damn handsome anchor before!! Fuck!!] [Boss 1 is here! Boss 1 came in at exactly 8:00 p.m!! My CP is saved today!!!] [I am one-sidedly dering that the anchor and Boss 1 are no longer shipped, and now, the anchor and I are shipped together!! I threw the anchor of the ship away!!!] [I¡¯m going to paralyze you! I¡¯ll fucking find a pirate to scour the seas to blow up your ship!!] [Did this face-selling anchore to the wrong category ba? This is the PUBG section, vomits. It¡¯s better to just honestly y games than to do such gimmicks every day.] [I don¡¯t y games, but how much is it to add the anchor¡¯s WeChat??] [Now I know why the female anchors that I¡¯m fans of are here. Hateful!] [This is my first love¡­ Ah, wait. Laozi is a fucking man ah. Scratching my head¡­] Yu Yan was startled and recoiled to lean against the backrest of his chair. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t spam the barrage.¡± At this time, no one listened to him. The barrage messages sent by the previous stream followers were now covered by the new messages being sent by other viewers; it was just incessant spamming. There were also a few antis mixed into the barrage who tried to take advantage of the chaos to stir up trouble. After half a minute, he privately chatted with the stream moderator and asked her to keep watch and to ban people as necessary. It took a long time before she replied. Stream Moderator 012: Sorry¡­ There were so many barrage messages and presents that Igged out several times. I¡¯ll start banning people now! As she finished saying that, she also sent over a very cute emoticon. While Yu Yan wasmunicating with the stream moderator, Lu Xiuhe acted as a warm-up attendant. ¡°Right ba? Handsome ba? I didn¡¯t lie to you guys ba! When he used toe to the Inte cafe, he got osted all the time. The seats near him were super popr; the guys wanted to see his gamey, and the girls wanted to see his face. Every day, someone would openly invite him to do shady stuff¡­ How old is he? About 20 this year ba? I forget¡­¡± [He¡¯s actually an adult! He looks like a high school student, and he¡¯s too thin ba.] [Does the anchor have the guts to turn off beauty and whitening filters ah? ] [Why do you guys keep talking shit? If you love to watch, then watch. Otherwise, you should gtfo. Are youing here to find some sense of existence? Son, ignore these antis, Mama loves you!] [Lulu ya: He didn¡¯t turn on any beauty or whitening filters. He said that it made him look too distorted.] [Lulu, go livestream for me!!!] [Boss 1, are you satisfied with what you see?] Yu Yan was stunned. He quickly went to check the star ranking list, and sure enough, 1¡¯s ID was lit up&#k2014;indicating that the other party was in the livestream. Just now, he had been spammed with a fearful amount of gifts. He had also received a lot of little stars and other expensive gifts, so the gift animations had directly covered any notification of 1 entering the stream. Plus, he had been tinkering with his camera settings at that time so he really hadn¡¯t seen it. Yi Chen looked at the young man on the screen. 20 years old; truly so young. From his face to his hands, he carried the breath of youthfulness, and it reminded Yi Chen of his school days¡­ Forget it. Compared to the repetitive student lifestyle of eating, studying, sleeping, and the disruptive ssmates, he instead felt much morefortable looking at the little anchor. There was a knock on the door, and Yi Ran poked his head in. ¡°Ge, you¡¯re back? I¡¯m going out now, so can you lend me a car?¡± ¡°The key case is in the second shelf of the bookcase.¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t look at him. ¡°If you don¡¯te back before 12:00 a.m, you can sleep in the garden.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll make sure to be back on time.¡± Yi Ran opened the key case and looked back and forth to select the key of the coolest, shiest looking car. ¡°Oh right, Ge, did you see Xiao Yan? He looks really cute ah¡­¡± Yi Chen finally looked away from the screen and cooly asked from over hisputer, ¡°Why does it matter to you how he looks? Does it have anything to do with you?¡± ¡°¡­ You¡¯re right.¡± Yi Ran was already used to this. He took the car key and left. ¡°Stop spamming. I only turned on the camera because I want to participate in the event. It¡¯s not going to be on permanently. If you guys think that the video box¡¯s position affects your view of the game, I¡¯ll make it smallerter.¡± Yu Yan snapped out of it, directly opened thepetition¡¯s registration page, found the categories he wanted to participate in, and clicked to sign up. [Sessfully registered for ¡° Kills King of the Year¡±! For details, please clic.k here¡ª¡ª] The details showed a website link, and when he clicked on it to take a look, it was actually a list of all the other anchors who had signed up for that award category. Below Yu Yan¡¯s name was ¡°StarTV,oshu¡±. At this moment, a group of viewers with usernames made up of just random numbers and letters appeared in the barrage. [Isoshu also participating? Then, this anchor is finished.] oshu actually signed up. I thought he was just a chill anchor. How is this category judged? I want to helposhu.] [Everyone, don¡¯t mentionoshu here. This anchor hatesoshu very much, he even once said thatoshu was a botter.] oshu, a botter?? That¡¯s impossible. If he was a botter, how could he not have already gotten suspended? It¡¯s really awesome that this anchor would just randomly lie and falsely use his peers.] [Why did the style of messages in the barrage suddenly be so strange¡­?] Yu Yan opened the game and found that 1 was unexpectedly online. He immediately sent an invitation, and the other party quickly came into his team. ¡°Don¡¯t stir up other anchor¡¯s shit in my stream.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Since you¡¯re all his fans, then just go spam his barrage. As for whether he bots or not, you guys can also ask him.¡± ¡°Anyways, I saw him bot, so I reported it.¡± Yu Yan was generally tolerant of the contents in the barrage as long as it wasn¡¯t a personal attack or antis. He usually didn¡¯t say much, except when the topic was aboutoshu. The barrage instantly split into two groups, who began to noisily quarrel. At this time, a man¡¯s deep voice sounded. ¡°Queue?¡± Yu Yan had originally wanted to say something else but upon hearing this voice, he immediately became powerless. ¡°¡­ Queuing.¡± [Will Never Eat Chicken has sent a meteor shower to yanxyan¡¯s livestream] [Will Never Eat Chicken: Want to get in the carry bus. Jumping the line, can the stream mod arrange it?] The stream moderator quickly sent Yu Yan the stream follower¡¯s ID. Yu Yan invited the person into the team. However, before he could even thank them, the other side opened his mouth. ¡°Anchor, how do I address you?¡± It was a rather sunny male voice, with a light tone. ¡°Your ID means Yan Xiao Yan?¡± Yu Yan responded, ¡°Yes. Just call me Xiao Yan¡­ So, I¡¯ll queue?¡± ¡°Good.¡± The person said, ¡°My name also has Yan in it, and I¡¯m a bit older than you.¡± Yu Yan looked at the other party¡¯s ID and couldn¡¯t help butugh. The new boss¡¯ game ID was yanZHOU. [Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan¡­ Does anyone recognize him?] [There are too many people with that name.] The four people jumped to North Georgopol. Maybe it was because it was peaceful there, so the new boss kept talking very enthusiastically. ¡°I¡¯ve been watching your livestream for several days now.¡± Yu Yan searched through a house. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°Can I add your WeChatter?¡± Zhou Yan said, ¡°I like you a lot.¡± Yu Yan stopped in the middle of picking up a gun. ¡°¡­?¡± ¡°Your livestream, hahahaha.¡± Zhou Yan brightlyughed, ¡°I didn¡¯t scare you ba?¡± [Wtf, a gay guy suddenly appeared. Laoniang¡¯s waist is sprained.] [I¡¯ve decided to stan new boss for a second.] [I¡¯m now staring at Boss 1¡¯s icon.] Yi Chen nced at his new teammate¡¯s ID and neither lightly nor heavily clicked his tongue. In the team voice channel, Zhou Yan continued, ¡°Where are you from?¡± After a while, Yu Yan replied, ¡°Manyang.¡± ¡°Manyang? That¡¯s right next to me. I often go there on business.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Boss Zhou Yan, did you set up your ID like this because you were afraid that other people wouldn¡¯t recognize you ah?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just an ID that I picked arbitrarily. If other people recognize me, that¡¯s fine, nothing to be ashamed of.¡± Zhou Yanughed, ¡°Xiao Yan, what gun did you find?¡± Yu Yan answered, ¡°An Uzi and a 98K.¡± Zhou Yan let out an ¡°oh¡± sound. ¡°I like sniping a lot¡­¡± A small crackle interrupted him. The voice that hadn¡¯t said a word since entering the match suddenly spoke up, ¡°Little anchor.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s reflexively answered, ¡°En?¡± Yi Chen¡¯s tone was natural. ¡°Picked it up for me?¡± Yu Yan was dumbstruck and didn¡¯t respond for a good while. ¡°Yes. I was nning on tossing it to you when I divided things up¡­¡± ¡°Good boy.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Bring it over to me.¡± Good¡­ boy? This line really broke the rules; Yu Yan tried to restrain the uncontroble corners of his mouth. He tightly pressed his lips into a line as he turned his character away right in front of Zhou Yan, and without looking back, ran to Yi Chen. ¡°On my way.¡± [????] [My CP is sending fluff, I¡¯m just going to explode here.] [Sure enough, Boss 1¡¯s and the little anchor¡¯s fluff is tastier.] Zhou Yan took a puff from his cigarette, and with an unknown purpose, gazed at the two markers on the map that were gradually getting closer. After Yu Yan tossed Yi Chen the gun, Zhou Yan said, ¡°Xiao Yan,e back to me.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Juste.¡± Zhou Yanughed, ¡°Gege will show you something good.¡± Yu Yan ran back to Zhou Yan. As soon as he stopped, he heard a few clicks; Zhou Yan had taken all of his clothes off. After that, he listened to Zhou Yan who said, ¡°You¡¯ve seen all of me, so remember to take responsibility.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Lu Xiuhepletely missed the subtle atmosphere between them all. He justughed and jeered, ¡°Fuck, Ge. You¡¯re so sexy ah.¡± ¡°Hahaha, I¡¯m just fucking around.¡± Zhou Yan moved his gun and pointed to the clothes on the ground. ¡°Xiao Yan, you should put on these clothes. Wearing only the red scarf looks just too ugly.¡± Yu Yan refused, ¡°No need, I¡¯m fine like this.¡± ¡°What do you mean, it¡¯s fine ya? It¡¯s really affecting my game experience. Put it on quickly.¡± Since the boss was the one who said it like that, Yu Yan couldn¡¯t really refuse him; he had to pick it up and wear the clothes. Zhou Yan was satisfied. He was ready to say something else when he heard a few bangs, and several bullets suddenly hit the ground in front of him. He was startled. He looked up and unexpectedly saw that it was his teammate who had shot at him. Yi Chen stood a short distance away holding his gun, and gave his exnation very concisely andprehensively. ¡°Misfire.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Ohohoho, Boss Yi isn¡¯t about to let anyone steal his little anchor away. Divi: Come on Boss Yi, show them who the real Boss is! Noks: Go Boss Yi!!! Shove that newbie boss off his imaginary pedestal! Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! Chapter 30 - I’ll love netizens forever. Chapter 30 - I¡¯ll loveizens forever. Edited by Divetus and Noks Yu Yan had always felt that, out of all the people he had ever met, Lu Xiuhe was the most talkative. Literally. As long as he was with you and his mouth was empty, he seemed to be able to talk and talk, until the end of the world. Now, Yu Yan realized that there was always someone out there who was stronger. During the two hours of ying, the new boss never stopped talking. ¡°Xiao Yan,e here. Ge will give you a first aid kit. I¡¯ll properly curry favor with you so if I get knocked downter, you can help me up.¡± ¡°Xiao Yan,e here. Let¡¯s go for an in-game drive. Next time I go to Manyang, I¡¯ll take you on a ride in the real thing.¡± ¡°Does Xiao Yan have a butt? I¡¯ll trade my heart for one.¡± He was talking about the M416¡¯s gunstock. Yu Yan might be dense, but even he could see that the other side was deliberately saying such ambiguous words. Although it was very effective on the barrage, he didn¡¯t want to attract viewers this way. ¡°Boss.¡± He politely said, with a half-surrendering feeling, ¡°I just gave No. 1 a magnifying scope. If I find another er, I¡¯ll give it to you, so don¡¯t act gay towards me.¡± Zhou Yan paused, then jokingly said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you always acting gay with No. 1? Why is it not okay when it¡¯s with me? Don¡¯t treat me differently ah.¡± He hadn¡¯t expected the other side to drag Yi Chen into this; Yu Yan was dumbstruck for a moment. Did he usually talk to 1 in that manner? No ba¡­. Yi Chen spoke up, ¡°North direction, someone¡¯s there.¡± Yu Yan got a hold of himself and quickly opened the scope to look in the direction that Yi Chen mentioned. As soon as Yu Yan aimed at the opponent¡¯s helmet, he heard a bang; Yi Chen had already taken the lead in headshotting the person. ¡°Boss 1 is so awesome ah.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°I feel like you¡¯ve improved so quickly. I doubt that I was as good as you when I had yed the game for just 20 hours.¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t speak. He was still aiming in the opponent¡¯s direction since the system didn¡¯t give a kill notification¡ªindicating that the enemy still had teammates alive over there. Yu Yan absent-mindedly switched his guns, preparing to survey if he could just run over there to finish that guy off, when he suddenly heard a noise. It took him several seconds to recover. ¡°There¡¯s someone close by!¡± Unfortunately, it was toote. As soon as he spoke, there was a fierce gunshot nearby, and Zhou Yan was knocked down. Yu Yan immediately hid behind a rock and determined the enemy¡¯s position based on the gunshot just now. After reporting the coordinates, he started to fight back. Lu Xiuhe also quickly responded and pulled out a frag grenade. ¡°Xiao Yan, I¡¯ll toss a frag grenade. Pay attention to the enemy movements and kill them as soon as they¡¯re exposed.¡± Yu Yan answered, ¡°Okay.¡± Although Lu Xiuhe¡¯s technique was just average, the two of them had yed together for a long time, so they could still coordinate well with each other. And just like that, a few momentster, the two enemies who had rushed out were killed by them. Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°They weren¡¯t directly eliminated, so there should be another one left.¡± ¡°They¡¯re over there, trying to revive their teammates.¡± Yi Chen marked a point on the map. ¡°Behind this tree; I just missed him.¡± Zhou Yan clicked his tongue. ¡°You¡¯re too noob ba. I also just saw the person and shot them twice. Unfortunately, I¡¯m not holding a good gun. If you had given me your 98K, the enemy would¡¯ve been dead.¡± ¡°So, if you don¡¯t know how to y, don¡¯t try to fight over guns. Just watch people eat chicken in the livestream bei, instead ofing here to waste team resources.¡± Bang¡ª¡ª The gunshot seemed to have pped Zhou Yan¡¯s face, and a line of white text appeared at the bottom left of the screen. [Y11iic eliminated B8129_S with a Kar98K] One corner of Yu Yan¡¯s mouth quirked up, and he said in a low voice, ¡°Powerful.¡± [This boss talks a lot of shit ah. Can the anchor stop taking him along?] [Also, mocking Boss 1; who didn¡¯t start off as a newbie ah? And, 1 has killed enemies, what did you do?] oshu¡¯s going to have to bow down to this anchor¡¯s gun pressure¡­ I suppose.] [This new boss¡¯ way of speaking is particrly vulgar. I just saw another viewer shipping him and the anchor. Please, are you unconcerned if it¡¯s fluff or shit going into your mouth?] Zhou Yan frowned impatiently. He took two deep breaths before he continued, ¡°Xiao Yan,e and pull me up. Hurry up.¡± Just a moment ago, someone was nearby while another enemy was on the opposite side, so no one dared toe help him before. This was the second time he had been knocked down, and at this moment, he was almost done bleeding to death. Yu Yan was preparing to head over there, but the person next to him was even faster. Yi Chen said, ¡°I¡¯ll go, you go loot everything.¡± Yu Yan let out an ¡°oh¡± and agreed, ¡°Okay. I¡¯ll go loot the two boxes over there. What do you need? I¡¯ll grab it for you.¡± ¡°Bullet loop, M4 gunstock.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Zhou Yan looked at the person running over to him and cheered up. ¡°You seriously still don¡¯t know how to y. Do you have an M416 on you? What¡¯s the use of an M416 gunstock?¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t speak. He crouched down to help him. It takes ten seconds to revive a teammate. During thest three seconds, Zhou Yan opened up his inventory, casually getting ready to heal himself. But, when the revive animation was down to thest second, the person next to him somehow stepped back and interrupted the revive process. Zhou Yan was stunned as he watched his health continue to bleed out. He was about to die and he frantically asked, ¡°What are you doing ah? The revive process was cut off!¡± ¡°En?¡± The game character next to him turned around and the man¡¯s tone was very careless. ¡°I¡¯m a noob, don¡¯t really get it.¡± That is, if Yi Chen had helped Zhou Yan up immediately after the interruption, he could still be revived. It just so happened that Yi Chen simply turned around on the spot with no intention of helping Zhou Yan up again. Zhou Yan stared with wide eyes as thest bit of his character¡¯s health disappeared; he fell to the ground, leaving a lootbox beside him. Yi Chen bent over, looted his M416 and asked him, ¡°Do you see the M4 now?¡± [Boss is so handsome, I¡¯m in love.] [Deliberately trolling your own teammates? It¡¯s really disgusting. I hope you bros who are praising this action will meet such teammates in the future.] [Really? Can I seriously meet such a distinguished teammate such as Boss 1 in the game?] [Please throw your rainbow farts into the trash, previous poster; I can smell it from here.] [If the anchor was a woman, this person¡¯s words would be considered sexual harassment, OK? Why wouldn¡¯t they just kill him instead of keeping this teammate around? Boss 1 is domineering.] Zhou Yan just watched as Yi Chen looted his stuff and then ran to the opposite hill to get the M4 gunstock from Yu Yan. ¡°Hey. What¡¯s the meaning of this ah? On purpose?¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°He¡¯s a noob, it wasn¡¯t intentional.¡± Zhou Yan retorted, ¡°Is he mentally retarded then? If he can¡¯t even revive people, why is he even ying this game?¡± ¡°Fine. Since this is the case, let¡¯s y against each other next match. We¡¯ll see who manages to kill the other one first.¡± Originally, Yu Yan had still been calm, but after hearing this sentence, he immediately wasn¡¯t happy anymore. ¡°Forget it, Boss. I¡¯ll return the money you gifted back to youter. You can find another anchor to carry you ba. I¡¯m also not that strong and am carrying a noob, so I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ve upset you.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll refund everything back to you.¡± [Holy crap, the anchor is pretty good. This is the first time that I¡¯ve seen an anchor return the donated money back to a stream follower.] [Wow. Usually, in this case, the anchor would just try to smooth things over.] Zhou Yan asked, ¡°Are you chasing your patron away? Do Ick this 2000 yuan?¡± Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t expect them to start quarrelling. He quickly mediated, ¡°Don¡¯t be angry ah, Boss. Xiao Yan is just worried that you¡¯ll have a bad game experience.¡± Yu Yan let out an ¡°en¡±, but it was unknown who he was responding to. ¡°Alright.¡± Seeing on the screen that the three people were still happily ying, and that his words seemed to have no impact on them, Zhou Yan let out an extremely angryugh, ¡°You¡¯re just awesome.¡± When he finished saying that, the other party left the game and they didn¡¯t hear his voice again. Yu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. This was why he didn¡¯t like receiving gifts. [Holy shit, that boss really left lolololol] [This stream is really full of surprises. Followed.] [I went to look at that boss¡¯ profile. He¡¯s gifted over 10,000 yuan worth of StarTV gifts¡­ Anchor, you¡¯ve driven away a big boss.] ¡°Don¡¯t need any bosses. It¡¯s fine as long as you guys like watching the stream.¡± Not wanting to get dragged back into this topic again, Yu Yan said, ¡°Going to show you guys some skillful 8x scope gamey.¡± [Can you repeat that? Skillful y of what scope magnification?] [Pay attention antis, the botting is going to start right in front!] [You have an 8x scope??] ¡°No.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s eyes curved as heughed, ¡°Wait for me to pick up one, then I¡¯ll talk.¡± By the time the match was over, it was also time to end the stream. After saying goodbye to the viewers, Yu Yan turned off the livestream, opened the gifts interface, and found Zhou Yan¡¯s StarTV ID. He sent Zhou Yan a private message but found that he had been cklisted by him. Thus, Yu Yan could only use other methods to return the meteor shower gift. Gifts couldn¡¯t directly be refunded for money on the tform, but it was possible to refund them into star coins. Stream followers could then use the refunded star coins to buy gifts for other yers. Yu Yan returned 2000 star coins to Zhou Yan¡¯s StarTV ount before shutting down hisputer. As soon as he stood up, he heard a notification from his cellphone. 1: I did it on purpose just now. Yu Yan: What? 1: Not reviving that person. Yu Yan: ¡­ I know. 1: [Transfers RMB 2000.00 to you] Yu Yan hurriedly clicked to refund him. Yu Yan: No need¡­ I didn¡¯t want to carry him anyway. 1: [Transfers RMB 2000.00 to you] 1: You covered for me. If I still let you suffer losses, that wouldn¡¯t make sense. Yu Yan stared at this sentence, but after a long time, the message still wasn¡¯t recalled. 1: Or do you want two meteor showers? Yu Yan was given a scare. He replied: Why would you double it? 1: The tform gets half the gift money. If I don¡¯t send two, how could you get back the original sum? Yu Yan gave in. He felt that if he didn¡¯t ept it, 1 would actually run to the livestream to spam him with gifts. Yu Yan: [Collected 2000.00] Yu Yan: [WillBeBoss¡¯veTonight.jpg] 1: No need tonight. Yu Yan stared at this sentence for a long time before he realized¡ª¡ªthat was a reply to his emoji?? Yu Yan: ¡­ So, I¡¯ll do it when there¡¯s a chance in the future? 1: En. What kind of fucking X-rated conversation was this? Yu Yan¡¯s mind immediately imagined the other side¡¯s low and deep ¡°en¡± sound, and his cheeks suddenly flushed. He quickly scooped up some water and patted it onto his face, but the heat on his face didn¡¯t disappear for a long time. ¡ª The next day, he woke up to Lu Xiuhe¡¯s QQ message. Your Great Lord Lu: [webpage link] Hurry and go have a look. Yu Yan was still sleepy. He yawned and slowly opened the website, but his phone automatically swapped to a video-yingyout. ¡­ The title of the video was ¡°The Must-Tell Beautiful Love Story between a Little Anchor and a Big Boss. [VoD Edit]¡±. He opened it in a daze, and apletely girly BGM appeared. A girl sang softly¡ª¡ª ¡°I can¡¯t find a good reason to stop all of this intimacy.¡± The video showed a PUBG match, in which his character had his head lowered and was dropping an M24 on the ground. His voice sounded out from within the background music. ¡°You take this.¡± ¡°Nobody understands, nobody is like me, falling in love with a stranger.¡± It was followed by 1¡¯s voice. ¡°And¡­ I just like to y with No. 2. No. 2, add me as a friend after this?¡± ¡°I think that I¡¯ve already gradually grown to like you, because I possess the courage to love.¡± The video showed Ruins. As his character ran, he said, ¡°Wait for me ah, I¡¯ll be back soon!¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Here, the game interface even had the effect of pink bubbles added to it. ¡­ The video was 3 minutes and 46 seconds long. Yu Yan went from squinting, to waking up, and finally to being dumbstruck¡ª¡ª With this video, why would he need to watch the livestream VoDs or listen to those few seconds of WeChat voice clips every day?? Your Great Lord Lu: Have you finished watching? Yu Yan snapped out of it and replied: Finished watching. Your Great Lord Lu: All the other anchors have ¡°Amazing Kills Comption¡± and ¡°Chicken Eating Moment¡±. Howe with you¡­ What is this?? Yu Yan: ¡­. Your Great Lord Lu: Don¡¯t be too sad. Someone will definitely edit a killsption video for youter. Yu Yan: ¡­ Your Great Lord Lu: Umm, I¡¯ll ask you another question ah. What are your feelings after watching the video? Yu Yan turned over andid on his stomach on the bed. After carefully watching it for a second time, he clicked on the icon on the top left of his phone screen, bookmarked it, downloaded it, and then finally replied. Yu Yan: Netizens are the most powerful people in the world. Yu Yan: I¡¯ll loveizens forever. ¡ª Juurensha: Hahahaha, Yanyan is a big fan of this video. Divi: I can¡¯t believe they already made an MV of Yanyan and Boss Yi. Damn the shippers are real LOL. At this point, I¡¯m not sure if Yanyan already likes Boss Yi or if it¡¯s still just his voice. Also, the BGM is really nice, ites from a drama OST. Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! Chapter 31 - Very ordinary online neighbors. Chapter 31 - Very ordinary online neighbors. Edited by Divetus and Noks Yu Yan had originally nned to go back to sleep, but what actually ended up happening was that he reyed the video several times and didn¡¯t feel sleepy at all anymore. He simply decided to just turn over and get out of bed. Yu Yan went downstairs, ate a nice breakfast, and then turned hisputer on. As soon as he turned QQ on, he heard a system notification. [Tuantuan has invited you to join the StarTV Family] With just a nce at the group chat name, he already knew what kind of group this was. Yu Yan didn¡¯t think much about it and just directly epted the invitation before he opened the next QQ message notification. Tuantuan: I invited you into the wrong group chat. Don¡¯t enter that group! Yu Yan: ¡­ Yu Yan: I¡¯ve already joined. He sent the reply, but it seemed like the other party hadn¡¯t seen the message yet, because she didn¡¯t respond. The new group chat immediately shed at the lower right-hand corner of the QQ app. Yu Yan moved his mouse and saw that there were 99+ notifications. He opened it, wanting to block the group, but found that thest message had been sent by an acquaintance. The message¡¯s timestamp was a minute before he had joined the group. It was unknown why QQ had done this crazy thing, but when a person joined a new group, they could actually see the group¡¯s previous chat history. Yu Yan had an inexplicable intuitive feeling. He slid his mouse and scrolled up to read the chat history. ah? It¡¯s whatever if female anchors flirt with their viewers every day, but now even male anchors have started selling rot to attract viewers? What, do they not want us old guys to live ah? ah. Not many people livestreamed in the morning, so everyone was very free. Many anchors who were lurking on the group chat also suddenly responded. Although their words weren¡¯t obviously as aggressive asoshu¡¯s, they all took part in the discussion, with the mentality of just joining in on the fun. After all, a new anchor suddenly pumping out astonishing initial numbers made everyone feel an impending sense of crisis. To put it frankly, it was like having amon enemy. As Yu Yan read to the end,oshu sent another message. ah? Although Yu Yan never tried to cause trouble, he wasn¡¯t a fool who would just stand by while being ridiculed. yanxyan: There¡¯s nothing great about your game ability, but your ability to privately gossip is quite ferocious. yanxyan: Literally what I said. yanxyyan: Completely unrivaled just because I won against you? You think too highly of yourself. Lulu ya: Stop quarreling. Why do you keep trying to find faults within others? Do you have nothing else to do? banana:oshu, we¡¯re all colleagues, don¡¯t be aggressive. Yanxiaoyan, wee to our group. As soon as banana appeared,oshu immediately shut up, and no one else in the group said anything. Yu Yan scanned through the group¡¯s member list. This group had 500 people and more than 400 people were currently online. From the group notes, it could be seen that almost all of them were StarTV anchors. And impressively, the group leader¡¯s name was: Administrator 03. There were several group moderators. All of them seemed to be popr anchors from each StarTV category. The PUBG category moderator was banana and the entertainment category moderator was Tuantuan. A chat box popped up. [Tuantuan nudged you once] Tuantuan: ¡­ Fuck. I meant to invite you into a smaller, private group. I didn¡¯t expect to invite you to the wrong one. Tuantuan: There are a lot of people in this group but they¡¯re a mix of fishes and dragons. They don¡¯t usually talk much, but when they do, it¡¯s usually shit-talking about someone. If you don¡¯t like it, just quit it. Yu Yan: It¡¯s okay. Tuantuan: Don¡¯t worry though, anchors who have been ridiculed in this group chat all end up poprter. You can just consider it as popr people attracting criticism ba. Yu Yan: It¡¯s really okay. You don¡¯t need tofort me, I just want to ask&#k2026; Tuantuan: What? Yu Yan: What does selling rot mean? Tuantuan: ¡­ You¡¯re already this gay but you¡¯re asking me this? That¡¯s just not right ba. Yu Yan didn¡¯t understand, so he ran to Baidu. [Selling rot refers to creating ambiguous circumstances between men to hype up and cater to the audience.] ¡°&#k2026;¡± Him? Sell rot? With whom?? Isn¡¯t he a skills-based anchor?? Yu Yan: ¡­ But, I didn¡¯t sell rot ah. Tuantuan replied with a profoundly mysterious and unintelligible sentence: I understand. You aren¡¯t selling rot; you guys are sincere. Yu Yan felt that their brainwaves weren¡¯t on the same wavelength, so he simply gave upmunicating with her. He sent a reply stating that he was about to start livestreaming and ran away in defeat. As it actually wasn¡¯t time for him to start livestreaming yet, he couldn¡¯t help leaning his gaming chair back and grabbing his cellphone to click on WeChat. To make it more convenient for him to listen to 1¡¯s voice messages, Yu Yan had stickied 1¡¯s chat to the top. Yu Yan hadn¡¯t felt anything special when he had stickied 1¡¯s chat, and he also hadn¡¯t thought too much of it when he had repeatedly listened to 1¡¯s voice messages, but after what Tuantuan had just said¡­ He now felt like there was something. Exiting the chat box, Yu Yan casually opened his Moments. He hadn¡¯t used this feature in over a week. Since he had started treating gaming as a job, he rarely went out. During the holidays, he traveled around the world by relying on his Moments. He didn¡¯t expect to see an update posted by 1. Yu Yan had peeped at 1¡¯s Moments when they had just added each other as friends. It waspletely clean and had nothing in it, as if it was just a side ount. Yu Yan internally told himself that he would just casually take a look and then hungrily clicked to open the posted picture. The picture only had a cat. It looked like a stray cat on the side of the road. It was thin, small, had dark eyes and dirt smeared all over its white fur. It was obediently looking at the camera. And below the picture was Yi Ran¡¯sment. Yi Ran: Ge, if you have any fire, just st it at me. The kitten is innocent! Finally, Yu Yan understood why this brotherhood was so fragile. Yu Yan wavered as he repeatedly opened and closed the picture, but in the end, he clicked to like it. After looking at the picture for long enough, he shifted his chair back up and started the livestream. While checking his livestream details, he didn¡¯t turn on the camera. Recently, his follower count had already reached 17,000. Although there were some fake ounts within that count, arge proportion of the followers were real. So when his stream started, many people immediately poured in. [Where¡¯s the camera!! Cam! Er! A! I want to see my son!!] [What server are you ying in today? I¡¯m going to snipe you.] [Are you still going to draw some stream followers today?] ¡°Let¡¯s wait for thepetition to start before I turn on the camera ba. I¡¯m afraid that it¡¯ll affect your stream viewing experience.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°ying in the Asian server, solo.¡± With that, he ignored the barrage¡¯s wailing and directlyunched PUBG. Yu Yan had always been fond of ying solo. With no teammates, he could rest easy and boldly attack enemies without worries. He queued into Miramar and jumped directly to Hacienda Del Patron. In Solo, yers whonded at this vi basically came in with the mentality of ¡®you die or I die¡¯. yers who could kill their way out of here were the chosen ones. They needed both strength and luck. ¡°If yound on the vi¡¯s second floor, you¡¯ll have a high chance of looting good things. You can also kill people who are downstairs by blocking the staircase,¡± Yu Yan said as he shifted his perspective around, finding a person floating next to him. The two people were extremely close and their speed of descent was almost the same. If they kept diving like this, they wouldnd together. Yu Yan turned on the all voice channel and said, ¡°Ge, I¡¯m a hacker. It¡¯s not toote for you to fly further out.¡± There was a crackling noise, and the person beside him also turned on his mic. ¡°Coincidentally, me too, bro. I bought mine for 60 yuan a day. How about you?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan controlled his parachute and flew away. ¡°Forget it, mine is 8 yuan a day. I can¡¯t afford to provoke you, I¡¯m running away a bit.¡± [???] [The anchor is so open about everything now lololol] [The notice is hanging there after all. He¡¯spletely unafraid.] Afternding, Yu Yan immediately picked up a gun. He had just reloaded it and ran two steps forward when he heard the sound of thumping footstepse from the side. He ducked behind the wall and was ready to open fire on the enemy. But he hadn¡¯t expected that person to talk again. ¡°Hey bro, are you the one who was parachuting with me ah?¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°I remember you. Yep, with the red scarf.¡± Didn¡¯t this hackernd on the right side of the vi¡¯s second floor? How did he get here so fast?? With a few bangs, that person easily headshotted the yer who was running outside, near the gate. Yu Yan pursed his lips and said, ¡°It¡¯s me. So now what? Just kill each other off?¡± The personughed, ¡°Hey, how about we cooperate and clear out the other people first?¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Yu Yan finished speaking and then turned off the all voice channel. ¡°I¡¯ll fool him first and then kill him when he¡¯s not expecting it.¡± [Hahahahaha, how miserable ba. Just ying a match and you still have to fight a battle of wits and courage against a hacker.] [Daily cursing, trash game. Not being concerned about hackers, sooner orter the game will die!] Yu Yan was merely just nning to kill him, but unexpectedly, this person seemed to sense something. While they worked together to clear Hacienda del Patron, the other party¡¯s gun muzzle was always facing him. ¡°Bro. If you¡¯re just going to be like this it¡¯s boring ba.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°We¡¯re partners, we should trust each other.¡± ¡°You¡¯re a hacker, I can¡¯t trust you.¡± The person said, ¡°If you feel ufortable, you can also point your gun at me, I don¡¯t mind.¡± At this moment, Yu Yan became a bit absent-minded¡ªexactly who was the hacker here?? The two of them inexplicably entered the semi-final circle just in this manner. Looking at the other side¡¯s gun muzzle, Yu Yan said, ¡°Not good. I have to finish him off before he enters the finals.¡± As he finished saying that, he turned on the all voice channel mic and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go upstairs to search.¡± ¡°Oh, go ahead ba.¡± Yu Yan went upstairs, reloading as he walked. He thought, you can¡¯t me me for this; hacking disturbs the fairness of the game, not killing him wouldn¡¯t be good. He went to the window and clearly saw the position of the person downstairs. Suddenly, the other party stepped forward and entered the blindspot in his field of view. Yu Yan calcted the position in his mind, switched the game to first-person perspective, and directly jumped down from the window! At the same time, a grenade was thrown through the window¡ªthe other party wanted to kill him! Yu Yan didn¡¯t hesitate any longer. He cleanly fired the gun and the other person immediately took out his gun and fired back. However, it took time to change back to a gun. After a few shots, Yu Yan had already taken his health bar down to zero. ¡°Fuck¡­¡± That person turned on his mic and said, ¡°Your 8 yuan aimbot is pretty strong.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not aimbotting.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Bro, turn over a new leaf. Don¡¯t run a cheat software anymore. You¡¯ll be banned sooner orter. I see that your clothes are worth, if not 10,000 yuan, then at least thousands of yuan. Why bother?¡± ¡°¡­ You¡¯re not aimbotting?¡± ¡°En.¡± ¡°Then, I¡¯m also not hacking.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± The two of them foolishly stared at each other for a very long time. [Holy shit, did you guys see the kill notification that just appeared??] [I thought that I read the ID wrong so I didn¡¯t dare to make a peep this entire time.] [How could you possibly mistake the name of such a big team??] Yu Yan nced at the barrage and recalled the other party¡¯s ID. It seemed to be¡­ QM_qixian? QM? ¡°Hey bro, why aren¡¯t you talking now?¡± Before the person left the match, he asked Yu Yan, ¡°Are you really not aimbotting? So strong? How about we add each other as friends and y duos?¡± ¡°¡­ Okay.¡± QM Gaming was one of the top three PUBG teams in China. After finishing the match, they added each other as friends. Sure enough, the other party was one of QM Gaming¡¯s starters, someone who had just participated in the internationalpetition two months ago; he was quite famous. Now, like Yu Yan, he also livestreamed, but not on StarTV. However, Yu Yan had stopped following PUBGpetitions a long time ago. No matter how famous this person was, Yu Yan wouldn¡¯t recognize him. He just regarded it as having a strong teammate. The two of them yed duos until the afternoon and managed to win several matches in a row. [What kind of luck does this anchor have? Drawing the side ount of StarTV¡¯s top female entertainment anchor during a lottery and also matching with a pro yer in solos??] [Hey, I¡¯d rather see Boss 1. When will Boss 1e today?] [Is the person from before new? Boss 1 usually onlyes to tryst with the anchor in the evenings.] Tryst? What the hell? Thinking of the new vocabry that he had just learned before noon today, Yu Yan couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. 1 and I are not in the kind of rtionship that you think we are.¡± [Not in that kind of rtionship? Then, what kind of rtionship do you guys have?] [Strong Big Boss x Pale and Tender Little Anchor. I can visualize a livestream y.] [¡­ Livestream y? I¡¯ve been enlightened.] ¡°We are¡­¡± Yu Yan paused and then earnestly said, ¡°Very ordinary online neighbors.¡± ¡ª The author has something to say: Giving myself an escape route I don¡¯t know if you can talk in all voice channel after turning into a lootbox. Let¡¯s take it as you can ba. ¡ª Juurensha: Ah, Yanyan learning so much new vocab hahaha Divi: LMAO Yanyan is also being enlightened. Now he¡¯s bing more aware of his feelings huh? Coming into contact with pro yers when your rank is high is quite normal inpetitive games! Most of the time, they don¡¯t offer to queue with you unless they¡¯re bored I guess. Noks: Yanyan finally knows about the ¡®rot¡¯ we all spread. Hahahhaha. We apologize if the trantion notes are messed up! The site manager is working hard to fix it! In the meantime, have some lovely fanart of Yanyan by Wiji here! Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! Chapter 32 - Those fingers are very white. Chapter 32 - Those fingers are very white. Edited by Divetus and Noks Yu Yan yed two more matches and then looked at the time before saying goodbye to his teammate, ¡°Let¡¯s just y until here for now ba. It¡¯s time for dinner.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± The person replied, ¡°My viewers said that you¡¯re also an anchor? On StarTV?¡± Yu Yan responded, ¡°¡­ Right.¡± ¡°Cool. I¡¯ll watch your livestream sometime when I¡¯m free.¡± Why watch his livestream? Yu Yan didn¡¯t understand, but questioning any further wouldn¡¯t be good, so he just had to say okay. The takeout arrived punctually; he had ordered hot and sour noodles today. As soon as he opened the bag, he could smell the spice. There were also fried peanuts on top of it, which made his mouth water. He casually turned on a newly released variety show and spread some napkins around since he was afraid of dirtying the keyboard. Afterwards, he picked up the bowl and took a sip of the spicy soup. Delicious. They were watching a mystery variety show, and from time to time, Yu Yan would turn on his mic to analyze the plot with his viewers. However, Yu Yan didn¡¯t open the barrage¡ª¡ªthese viewers were so bad. They just kept wanting to give him spoilers. Yu Yan was seriously watching the show when his cellphone slightly vibrated. He casually nced at it. 1: Neighbor, what are you doing? Yu Yan froze. ¡°¡­.¡± The big mouthful of hot and sour noodles he had just eaten all coalesced within his open mouth. After a while, it fell back into the soup. Hadn¡¯t this person updated the nickname he had for Yu Yan too fast ba?!! His eyes were wide open as he carefully thought about it¡ªhe definitely hadn¡¯t seen 1 enter the stream today. Yu Yan: ¡­ Are you referring to me? 1: Who else? Yu Yan answered honestly this time: Eating. Yi Chen didn¡¯t reply. He fiddled with the cat¡¯s tail on his hand, while keeping his eyes on his cellphone. Sure enough, the words ¡°Typing¡± appeared again, disappearing and reappearing several times. Yu Yan: Have you eaten yet? 1: Not yet. I just got home. Yu Yan: Oh¡­ Then, How did you find out about that neighbor thing? It didn¡¯t look like you came to the stream today ba. 1: I used a side ount at thepany. So it was like that. Yu Yan chewed on his stic fork as he held his cellphone in both hands. He pondered over his words and sentences for a long time, but ultimately, he still failed to send the usual invitation to y together tonight. Would 1 also feel like he was pulling him in to sell rot ah? He dillydallied for a long time, until his cellphone vibrated in his palm. 1: I won¡¯t y tonight. There¡¯s no need to wait for me. Going out for a bit. ¡­ Yu Yan was afraid that this person was actually a mind reader. Yu Yan: Okay. Yi Chen leaned against the sofa. There was a little white cat sitting on the trousers of his suit. The cat was lying on his belt with its face down, looking very pitiful. On the ss table in front of him was aptop with a livestream open. The anchor hadn¡¯t unmuted his mic to talk for a while now. 1: Do you like cats? Yu Yan suddenly felt like the hot and sour noodles in front of him weren¡¯t as appetizing. He put his dinner aside and focused on replying on WeChat. Yu Yan: Yes, I saw the photo that you posted to your Moments. It¡¯s very cute, is it a stray cat? 1: No. No? ¡­ There¡¯s actually such a dirty house cat? 1: Do you still want to see it? Yu Yan: Yes! Although he wasn¡¯t starving like before, he was still hungry. After replying, Yu Yan bowed his head and ate a big mouthful of noodles. From how 1 said it, it sounded like he was going to send him a picture of the cat. Yu Yan had even already decided about what sitting position he wanted to be in to absorb the cat picture. He was happily eating when his cellphone suddenly vibrated; the strength of the vibration was greater than before, and was continuous. Yu Yan¡¯s mouth was bulging with food, and when he looked down¡ª¡ª [1 invites you to a video call] ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Cough, cough, cough¡­¡± He had taken too deep of a breath and inhaled the spices down the wrong pipe. He coughed so much that his face turned red. He quickly picked up his ss of water and had to drink more than half of it before he recovered. Vi-Video call?? The other party¡¯s night sky profile picture shed on his cellphone screen with the vibration that continuously urged him to ept the call. He took a few seconds to wipe his mouth clean and then held his cellphone in both hands, staring at the video call invitation. To take it, or not? As a veteran voice-con, he fully understood the cruelty of this world. The first announcer he had liked had a beer belly bigger than his head. The CV he had liked afterwards looked like he weighed more than 250 pounds. Since then, whenever he encountered a voice he liked, he would subconsciously resist getting to know the voice¡¯s owner. He was a voice-con, not a face-con; it was fine to just close his eyes. But if he didn¡¯t take this call¡­ He would probably have several sleepless nights. By the time Yu Yan had snapped out of it, his thumb had already, and very naturally, pressed the green answer button. Yu Yan¡¯s heart leaped, and he looked at the screen while holding his breath¡ª¡ª The video call screen waspletely ck. He doubtfully leaned forward and tapped on the screen a few times. ¡°Be good.¡± Perhaps it was because he had been busy all day, but the man¡¯s voice sounded slightly hoarse, with hints of tiredness. ¡°Don¡¯t get closer to the cellphone.¡± After he said that, the cellphone screen finally showed a glimmer of light. The first thing to break into Yu Yan¡¯s line of sight was a man¡¯s slender hand, with clearly defined joints. He bent his fingers, dragged the perpetrator blocking the camera back a bit, and then put his fingertips onto its chin to gently scratch it. It was just a white cat. It didn¡¯t seem very big, and it had some grey fur on the tip of its tail and chin. It¡¯s dark round eyes were slightly squinted as it enjoyed the massage given to it by the fingers. Looking closer, the ck suit trousers that the cat was sitting on could also be seen. Other than that, only a few pieces of furniture were in the view of the camera. What kind of immortal-like visual was this? ¡°Why do you look so silly?¡± Yi Chenughed, ¡°How is your face so red?¡± Yu Yan got a hold of himself. ¡°I¡­ I was just eating hot and sour noodles. There were too many chillies, and I choked.¡± ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen raised his hand and rubbed the cat¡¯s head. ¡°How is it?¡± Yu Yan desperately nodded his head to express his admiration. ¡°Those fingers are very white.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, he shook his head repeatedly. ¡°No¡­ I meant, that cat is very long.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan felt that he was hopeless and tried his best to redeem himself. ¡°¡­ That cat, it is very white.¡± Yi Chen couldn¡¯t helpughing. He asked, ¡°And the fingers are long too, right?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan gave up on his struggle. ¡°Right.¡± Yi Chen continued, ¡°It took quite a while for the vet to bathe it.¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Did you pick it up and take it in?¡± ¡°En. I took him to get washed and groomed today. It¡¯s morefortable looking at him now.¡± Yi Chen continued, ¡°It¡¯s just that he¡¯s been a stray for too long and always wants to bite people.¡± As soon as he finished saying that, the cat suddenly lowered his head, revealed his small fangs, and bit his fingertips. ¡°Let go.¡± The man shook his fingers. The cat was unmoved. Yu Yan heard him sigh and then Yi Chen¡¯s cellphone suddenly shook. It seemed like it was just ced somewhere else. The angle changed and Yu Yan saw more¡ªa white shirt with one button undone and a loosely tied striped tie. Yi Chen extended his other hand, gently scratching behind the cat¡¯s ear, and repeated, ¡°Let go.¡± Finally, the cat obediently let go, and even licked his fingertips. ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan¡¯s ears turned red. Calm down, Yu Yan! This was teasing the cat, not teasing you! It took him a long time to recollect himself, totally oblivious to the fact that his face was practically like a peach right now. ¡°Is it male or female? Does it have a name?¡± ¡°Male cat, called Yanyan.¡± ¡°?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not your Yan.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°It¡¯s the Yan in postpone.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan had been teased so much that he turned as red as a crawfish. He was about to fan himself but looked up and saw that his livestream ount¡¯s private chat icon was shing. [Administrator 03: System alert, you have afked for more than 20 minutes. If a normal livestream is not resumed within 30 minutes, starlight value will be deducted. Please pay attention.] [What is he doing? nning to put on a variety show all night?] [Eating for half an hour?] [What the hell? I¡¯m going to watch other anchors.] ¡°Go livestream ba.¡± Yi Chen nced at the barrage on theputer. ¡°Wait!¡± Yu Yan stopped him and asked, ¡°Can I take a few screenshots of him through the video call?¡± ¡°Yes, you can.¡± Yi Chen blinked. ¡°But that¡¯s not necessary.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± ¡°If you want to look at him, just video call me.¡± As Yi Chen said this, he looked at the person on the screen. The young man had tightly pursed his lips. He was too young to conceal anything; as soon as his lips loosened, it seemed as if they would fly up into the sky, and the tips of his ears were still red. Yi Chen¡¯s eyes looked deep and cryptic. He kneaded the cat a bit harder, to the extent that the cat felt sofortable that he couldn¡¯t help closing his eyes. ¡°¡­Alright then.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I¡¯ll ask you in advance if you¡¯re free!¡± Yi Chen chuckled, ¡°Okay.¡± After hanging up the video call, Yi Chen tossed his cellphone onto the table and kneaded the cat two more times. ¡°Ge, I¡¯m back¡­¡± Yi Ran walked into the house and found that his Ge was actually sitting on the sofa in the living room. Seeing what was on his leg, Yi Ran¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°No way, Ge, you even brought it back?¡± ¡°En.¡± ¡°Since you brought it back, who is going to raise it ah?¡± Yi Ran asked, ¡°Where are you going to keep it? In the guest room?¡± Yi Chen stood up and put the cat on the sofa. ¡°Just in the living room.¡± ¡°Well, it just so happens that some of my friends particrly like raising cats. They hold cat get-togethers every other day or so.¡± Yi Ran went to the sofa, raised his hand to the cat¡¯s chin, let out a ¡°hehe¡±, and said, ¡°I¡¯ll take you out to see the world at that time.¡± ¡°Then, you¡¯ll have to ask him if he wants to go.¡± Yi Chen turned around and walked into the bedroom. ¡°His status in the family is much higher than yours.¡± Yi Ran: ¡°?¡± Yi Chen changed his clothes and went out to a bar. When his friend Mo Nancheng saw him, he immediately waved his hand at him, signaling that he was here. Mo Nancheng poured him some alcohol and put it in front of him. ¡°Haven¡¯t seen you for two months, how are you?¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Yi Chen picked up the ss and took a sip. ¡°Did you get that project?¡± ¡°Yes, I finally got it. You don¡¯t know¡­ I¡¯ve drank so much during this time that I nearly got alcohol poisoning.¡± Mo Nancheng shook the ss in his hand. ¡°How about you? Why are youte today? Usually, you¡¯re notte.¡± ¡°Got a cat and took it to get groomed.¡± ¡°A cat?¡± Mo Nancheng stared at him with wide eyes and sized him up in disbelief. ¡°You don¡¯t look like a cat person¡­ What, was this a whim of yours?¡± ¡°Can count it as that ba.¡± Yi Chen seemed to think of something. He unconsciously raised the corners of his lips and said, ¡°The cat had been sitting beside my car for several days; it is so thin and small. Every time, it would eagerly look at me and wind around my pant leg before rubbing against it.¡± It was the first time he had heard something so tendere from his friend¡¯s mouth. Mo Nancheng¡¯s expression wasplicated. ¡°So then your heart softened?¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°Then what?¡± Yi Chen tapped his index finger on the table with a mysterious smile. ¡°I thought that it looked like someone, so I couldn¡¯t help it and brought it back home.¡± ¡ª The author has something to say: Every social ount ID of Xiao Yan¡¯s is yanxyan ¡ª Juurensha: Idk exactly what¡¯s going through Boss Yi¡¯s mind, but I think it¡¯s something like: Boss Yi: I shall bring in a cute cat and ask the little anchor if he likes cats. Yanyan: Kitty! (And hands!) Boss Yi: Sess Divi: Would you adopt a cat that you thought looked like a particr someone? No? Same. Yi Chen you already like Yanyan pftt. Noks: A small Yanyan kitty!

Chapter 33 - With you this flirty, even if I wasn¡¯t nning toe, I would have to now. Edited by Divetus and Noks Yu Yan had kept his camera off for several days in a row, which made his stream followers so angry that they screamed and wailed in the barrage every day. However, even if they screamed about it, his viewer count didn¡¯t decrease. After all, his strength and skills were both there. There was no other reason to watch his livestream except just for fun. As long as he had a gun in his hand and enemies in sight, he usually always won. It was particrlyfortable to watch. Today, the anchorpetition officially began. The stream followers who were familiar with him had camped in his livestream since early in the morning. By the time Yu Yan logged into his livestream ount, the barrage had already started spamming. [Today I can finally see my baby son QAQ] [For real. Getting you to show your face is harder than getting a female anchor to show her face¡­] [Baby, I¡¯ve saved up a whole week¡¯s worth of money to help youpete in the anchorpetition!] [Telling a horror story. The previousment is from a man¡¯s ount.] [A man? Wtf, no way! Xiao Yan isn¡¯t avable!!] ¡°You don¡¯t need to save up money for me; justing to watch me is good enough.¡± Yu Yanunched the game. ¡°Everyone should spend responsibly and have healthy gaming habits.¡± He turned the webcam on, continuously reduced the video interface size, and ced it at the bottom of the screen. [What? Afraid of being exposed ah??] [I¡¯m considering if I should purchase a magnifying ss online.] Yu Yanughed, ¡°No, I¡¯m afraid that it¡¯ll block the game interface in a moment and thus interfere with your livestream view.¡± [You¡¯re interfering with me staring at your face!!!] [Erge it for Laozi!!] The viewers spammed a lot, so he finally had to adjust the webcam interface to be just a little bitrger. He was wearing a white T-shirt today, and his hair seemed to have just been washed as it still looked a bit wet; his eyshes still had remnants of water mist on them. When blinking, the camera above hisputer could clearly capture his eyshes. [What kind of mascara is this?] [My god¡­ My friend rmended this stream to me so I came to watch. Really handsome, love it, love it.] [If I said that this male anchor was the one with the highest face value in StarTV, no one will refute me ba?] [This is the PUBG category. Can this face-selling anchor gtfo?] [Face-selling anchor? This guy is 10,000 times stronger than your master, okay?] Yu Yan didn¡¯t mind the quarrel in the barrage. As soon as he had loaded into PUBG, QM_qixian had sent him a team invite. When he entered the game lobby, he heard a noisee from his headphones. ¡°Hurry up and figure out a way to get him to join.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like we¡¯re a small organization¡­¡± ¡°What¡¯s with this youth training thing¡­¡± The speaker was a little far away from the mic, so Yu Yan could only vaguely pick up the words ¡°organization¡± and ¡°youth training¡±. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, it¡¯s a bit noisy over here.¡± QM_qixian apologized. He then whispered, ¡°Keep your voices down, I¡¯m duo queuing!¡± Yu Yan let out an ¡°en¡± then said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. Queue?¡± The other side was silent for a long time before there was a response. ¡°Queuing. I also have two friends, is that okay?¡± ¡°Anything¡¯s fine.¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t realise that something was off until the other party¡¯s ¡°friends¡± entered the game lobby. Both the yers who joined had two big letters prefixed to their usernames¡ªQM. Before he could say anything, the other side had already queued the match, and he instantly entered Manners za. [Holy shit, these are QM team members ah!!] [One substitute and two starter yers. Does this mean they¡¯re just going to let the anchor lie down and eat chicken?] [The people who watch PUBGpetitions all year round are in this stream. The anchor¡¯s strength is no less than that of a professional yer¡¯s (if he¡¯s not aimbotting). It¡¯s not certain who¡¯s going to get carried here.] Once the match started, the QM team members started talking amongst themselves. ¡°When are you guys going back to the gaming house?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t the vacation not over until the day after tomorrow? Of course I¡¯ll take the ne back the day after tomorrow. I can get another day¡¯s worth of rest.¡± ¡°I¡¯m heading back tomorrow.¡± Since the situation was already like this, he might as well chill. Yu Yan closed his in-game open mic and discussed a new gun with his stream viewers. ¡°Xiao Yan, where do you want to jump to?¡± Hearing his name, Yu Yan responded, ¡°I¡¯m good with whatever. You guys can just mark it ba.¡± ¡°Then, let¡¯s just jump to Military Base ba.¡± Another person spoke up. PUBGpetitions were different from just casually ying PUBG matches. Many teams like to focus on development. They would cote data before their matches about the locations that other teams liked to jump to and choose to avoid them. In most instances, there were only one or two teams jumping into cities. QM was different. They were famous for being a Military Base team; every member of the team was very strong. It wasn¡¯t that QM could crush other teams with just their pure technical ability, it was just that other teams weren¡¯t sure if they could win against them and have most of their own team members survive. If that ured, they would be eliminated by another team afterward, so they simply choose to avoid the battle. [Holy shit. This could be regarded as watching apetition, ba??] [No, it¡¯s even better than apetition. During apetition, there¡¯s jack shit happening at Military Base!] [Now that it¡¯s been mentioned, it seems that QM¡¯s team and the anchor¡¯s styles match very well. I have a bold idea¡­] The barrage¡¯s discussion was very heated; Yu Yan didn¡¯t read it carefully. He nodded and replied, ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°What area are you better at? The C-area or the police station?¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I can do it all.¡± ¡°Then C-area, second building.¡± Yu Yan quickly picked up a gun afternding and entered the room. The flight route was very close to Military Base, and when he was parachuting down, it looked like pouring dumplings into a pot. The number of people around him was very exaggerated. As soon as he entered the room, he heard continuous footsteps around him. Because his teammates were also all nearby, it was difficult to distinguish between friends and foes based on just footsteps. Yu Yan simply hid in the corner of a stairwell and used his positional advantage to sneakily kill two people. No. 3 shouted, ¡°Fuck, I¡¯m out of ammo. There¡¯s someone near me.¡± ¡°Well, good luck ba. I¡¯ll only have about ten bullets left, a very poor amount. We¡¯ll slip away first.¡± No. 3 said, ¡°Tch, forget it. Count it as my misfortune. All the people I killed were poor devils. I¡¯ll jump out through the window ba; if I die, I die.¡± When vaulting out of the window, the ss would shatter and create a rtively loud noise. Right now, Military Base was full of people. It would be very easy to be a target if you exposed yourself in an open space. ¡°I¡¯lle find you.¡± Yu Yan had finished looting a box and asked, ¡°How many people are there?¡± No. 3 replied, ¡°Don¡¯te, bro. There¡¯s at least two people here, and one of the ID¡¯s has been flooding the kill feed this entire time. They¡¯re skilled.¡± Yu Yan ran toward No. 3¡¯s direction. ¡°It¡¯s fine. If I can¡¯t beat them, I¡¯ll run away. Don¡¯t worry. I value my life a lot.¡± ¡°Hahaha, alright. Then,e over ba. I still have four bullets left, let¡¯s see if I can do something.¡± Yu Yan soon arrived in the vicinity of No. 3. He had just nodded when his head was shot at. No. 3 was right, the other party was quite skilled. Since they had a numerical advantage, they basically didn¡¯t hide. Half of this yer¡¯s body was hanging out as they kept aiming at Yu Yan. As long as he was exposed, he would get shot at. ¡°Bro, how good is your aim?¡± No. 3 suddenly asked this after peeking at the situation from behind. Yu Yan didn¡¯t hesitate to answer, ¡°I¡¯m known as a sharpshooter.¡± ¡°¡­ Okay.¡± No. 3 said, ¡°I still have a small pistol to bait people in. I¡¯ll shoot first. Time it carefully and take advantage of the situation.¡± He said it very vaguely but Yu Yan understood. ¡°No problem.¡± No. 3 fired several shots from behind the enemy, and the other party finally withdrew the gun they had aimed at Yu Yan. When the enemy turned their head toward No. 3¡¯s direction, Yu Yan immediately leaned forward to open fire¡ª¡ª [You knocked down 98kxiannv with a M16A4] The enemy team had simultaneously turned around and hit back just as these white words popped up on the screen. Yu Yan alsopletely didn¡¯t avoid the battle. The two sidesmenced a gun fight thatsted for a few seconds within the short distance¡ª¡ª [98kyangyang knocked you down with an AKM] An AKM¡¯s damage was much higher than that of an M16. Additionally, by the time the first person had been killed, Yu Yan had already taken several bullets. Yu Yan called out that he was knocked down. He then shouted, ¡°Just one more shot!¡± Before he finished shouting, several shots had already been fired! [QM_luoluo eliminated 98kyangyang with an Uzi] ¡°I know. They¡¯re dead now.¡± No. 3 didn¡¯t rush to loot the box after killing them. He instead ran over to help pull Yu Yan up. ¡°Bro, you y well. You really are a sharpshooter.¡± Yu Yan looked at the barrage that was mocking him and calling him a noob. He said with a smile, ¡°Not really, didn¡¯t kill him.¡± ¡°You got them down to thest sliver of health. Besides, what gun did you have? And what gun did they have? Their gun¡¯s damage crushes yours.¡± Yu Yan no longer tried to act modest. He looted everything from the box and turned to leave the building. Military Base was soon cleared out by their team, with all their team members still alive. Yu Yan opened the map and looked at it. They were still in the middle of the circle, as the other half of the circle went out into the water. No. 3ughed, ¡°Why do I feel like this match has a circle of destiny ah?¡± A circle of destiny meant that the selected parachuting ce was in the safe zone from the beginning to the end. No. 1 chimed in, ¡°It must be. Go and block the bridge. Xiao Lan, go find somewhere to snipe from. The three of us will go to the bridge.¡± No. 4 agreed, ¡°Okay.¡± The three QM members were very well coordinated. They guarded the bridge for a long time, killing three teams¡ªwith two of those being full squads. Yu Yan mixed in with them and adapted to the situation very well. He didn¡¯t have to worry about the enemies surrounding them when listening to No. 3¡¯smands. In this match¡¯s circle of destiny, the squad waspletely alive as they ate chicken. ¡°Cool!¡± No. 3 yelled out. He then said in an intimate manner, ¡°Come Xiao Yan, let¡¯s continue!¡± The four of them yed for an afternoon. Yu Yan yed to his heart¡¯s content. He hadn¡¯t felt this way in a long time¡ªwhen he yed well, he didn¡¯t have to worry about his teammates. When he yed poorly, he had three big backs behind him. At the end of another match, Yu Yan checked the time. It was the scheduled time for his takeout to arrive. He was about to leave the team when one of his teammates suddenly turned on his mic. ¡°Xiao Yan, you y pretty well ah. Have you thought about going pro ah?¡± Yu Yan was stunned and forgot what he was about to say. [Holy shit??? Will my idea reallye true?!] [QM doesn¡¯tck people do they? Did they want to recruit the anchor to be a substitute?] [Too awesome ba. Does this count as a disguised acknowledgement that the anchor is very strong? After ying a few matches, he was already invited to join the team. Completely unbelievable.] Knowing that the situation wasn¡¯t suitable, another teammate quickly spoke up to mediate, ¡°He¡¯s streaming right now, don¡¯t make fun of him!¡± ¡°Ah? Oh¡­ Fuck. I thought that he only streamed at night¡­ was just making a joke, haha.¡± Yu Yan yed along. ¡°Ai, I was happy for nothing.¡± He said that, but his expression was indifferent. When Yi Chen entered the stream, he saw this indifferent expression. He narrowed his eyes and looked again. He found that the little anchor¡¯s eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and there was even a trace of rejection at the bottom of his eyes. ¡°Haha, let¡¯s continue?¡± ¡°Going to stop ying, I¡­¡± Yu Yan paused, looking for an excuse to leave. He minimized the game and just happened to see the carriage animation appear on the top of his livestream page. Seeing 1¡¯s ID, Yu Yan¡¯s eyebrows suddenly smoothed out, and he blurted out, ¡°¡­ My boss is here. I have to go carry him.¡± ¡°Your stream boss? Alright ba.¡± The man then said, ¡°Then, let¡¯s exchange contact information? We can y togetherter.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± They added each other on QQ, and Yu Yan directly withdrew from the team game lobby. The barrage had already exploded. [1YanTang is now open for business today!!] [How could going pro be more important than your husband? :)] [y in whatpetition?! I just want to see you two fall in love!! Fall!] Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± The phone suddenly dinged. 1: Using me as a shield? He had, unexpectedly, been seen through. Yu Yan panicked for a bit, but soon calmed down. Yu Yan: No, I truly want to y with you. This actually wasn¡¯t a lie. He gave his justification boldly. 1: Oh? Fearing that 1 wouldn¡¯t believe him, Yu Yan tried to exin. Yu Yan: Really, I saw you as soon as you entered the stream. 1: You pay that much attention to me? Yu Yan thought, even if I didn¡¯t pay attention to you, it¡¯s hard to ignore such a big animation at the top of the screen when you enter ah. Yu Yan: Yes¡­ So, are you ying? 1: With you this flirty, even if I wasn¡¯t nning toe, I would have to now. ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan foolishly scrolled upwards in the chat log. Did he act flirty? Where did he act flirty??? ¡­ Nowhere ba??? [Why is the anchor blushing???] [Who are you talking to? Girlfriend?] [Girlfriend??? I don¡¯t believe it! I don¡¯t believe it!!!] When Yi Chen entered the game lobby, Yu Yan was still in a state of absent-mindedness. The viewers were still talking about the matter of him blushing. [I¡¯ve only been a fan of this CP for a few days, and it¡¯s already about to end?] [Isn¡¯t it normal to have a girlfriend if you¡¯re so good-looking ba?] [I can¡¯t ept it!!] [Have you guys clearly seen the chat logs or the person that he¡¯s chatting with? You guys have already signed off on it being a girlfriend from just this? I¡¯ll never give up on 1YanTang.] ¡°Let¡¯s chat here, my cellphone is charging.¡± As soon as the man opened his mouth, the barrage momentarily froze, leaving arge empty space on the screen. Yi Chen didn¡¯t realize anything was wrong. He nced at the barrage and softly asked, ¡°What does ¡®1YanTang¡¯ mean?¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Boss Yi, you realize you¡¯re being really flirty, right? Divi: Boss Yi, do you think that streamers normally video call their viewers??? Naturally the dense people are the most unintentionally flirty¡­ Please check out and support the raws if you can!

Chapter 34 - He is very sweet Chapter 34 - He is very sweet Edited by Divetus and Noks Yu Yan didn¡¯t know what it meant either, but based on his intuition, it couldn¡¯t mean anything good. He blinked constantly as he nervously asked, ¡°Then, has the cat been good today?¡± ¡°Yanyan?¡± Yi Chen withdrew his gaze from the screen and looked at the cat sleeping at his feet. ¡°He¡¯s very well-behaved.¡± ¡°¡­¡± [What?? Who¡¯s well-behaved???] [It¡¯d be such a pity if this anchor went to y professionally. With his skills and face value, he would¡¯ve had no problem bing a money-making divine artifact.] [Of course this anchor wouldn¡¯t dare to y professionally. After all, he can¡¯t run his aimbot duringpetitions ah.] [What kind of deliberate shade are you trying to throw over there? Do you not see the notice that¡¯s hanging up there? Are you blind?] [What can that notice count for? StarTV has only ever put up one notice, and it was his. I still say that he bribed an administrator to get the notice up through the back door.] [You don¡¯t believe the tform¡¯s notice or PUBG¡¯s in-game cheat detection. Are you the most awesome and clear-headed person in the world ba?] [Trembling Heart has been banned for three days by Administrator 03.] Most of the barrage was still buzzing about the exciting offer from the QM team members. The more chaotic and lively it became, the more the stream mods couldn¡¯t keep up with banning people, so even Administrator 03 came out to start banning people. Seeing Administrator 03e out made the conspiracy theorist antis even more excited. Yu Yan always thought that it was pretty strange. From that QQ group he had recently joined, he could see that Administrator 03 didn¡¯t only manage his livestream, but also influenced a bunch of other livestream categories. How could he hang around his livestream every day? [Tuantuan: Are there still ces on the carry bus? Can you take us two pitiful souls?] Recently, Lu Xiuhe had been upied with studying so he was stuck at his desk every day. He had much less time to go online, so for these past few days, Yu Yan had either been ying solos or drawing in stream followers to y squad matches. ¡°Yes.¡± Yu Yan, as if he had seen his savior, immediately invited them to the team. ¡°Isn¡¯t it dinner time?¡± Yi Chen asked. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Yu Yan queued the match. When they arrived at Manner¡¯s za, he walked around and stopped in front of Yi Chen¡¯s character. ¡°Takeout hasn¡¯t arrived yet¡­ It¡¯s okay to eat itter.¡± As soon as Lulu loaded in, she asked, ¡°Boss, I noticed that you onlye on at night. Did you just get off work?¡± ¡°En.¡± ¡°An office worker ah. Then, you can¡¯t watch the livestream during the daytime?¡± ¡°I can.¡± Tuantuan then asked, ¡°I didn¡¯t see you enter the stream. Did you go watch other anchors? Don¡¯t ya, if you¡¯re tired of watching Xiao Yanyan¡¯s livestream, you cane to see Lulu and me.¡± The more Yu Yan listened, the more he felt what was being said wasn¡¯t right. ¡°You guys are¡­ are you trying to seduce 1 away from me?¡± ¡°No, no, no, we are firm 1YanTang defenders.¡± Tuantuan continued, ¡°But shouldn¡¯t benefits always be kept for one¡¯s own people ma?¡± Yi Chenughed and answered, ¡°Didn¡¯t go to watch others, just used a side ount¡­ What exactly is 1YanTang?¡± [Used a side ount!?] [I even have to secretly log into a side ount at work to watch your livestream! 1YanTang is rio!!] [Why are you queueing the match for Erangel? Want to see Sanhok. ying on Erangel with three pieces of baggage feels like a waste of time.] ¡°1YanTang is the name given to you two by the stream followers ah! 1, Yan, Tang! It used to be the Tang character for fluff, but it got simplified to the Tang character for store for easier typing.¡± They even came up with a name?! Yu Yan was stunned and hurriedly equivocated, ¡°What fluff, what name&#k2026; Where should we jump to?¡± ¡°Gave us a name?¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows. ¡°Why Tang?¡± Lulu blurted out, ¡°Because you guys are sweet!¡± After listening to her exnation, Yi Chen finally understood a bit more. He looked at the little anchor¡¯s microphone icon that kept flickering on and off without making a sound. With a faint smile, he said, ¡°I¡¯m not sweet.¡± Yu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He didn¡¯t expect him to follow up with, ¡°He is very sweet.¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± He actually felt that he had been wronged. What did they mean when they said that he was holding onto 1 and selling rot? He was being knocked out by 1 and dragged behind him to sell rot, okay!!! [Sweet!! You¡¯re both sweet!!!] [I can see that these two female anchors are our people.] [Boss, the anchorpetition started, why haven¡¯t you said anything about it ah?] [The neighboringoshu¡¯s stream has already been spam gifted by a boss! Weing everyone to watch ande join in on the excitement! The stream room number is¡­] While they were still on the ne, Yu Yan directly opened the livestream page and kicked out the people who were linking the room numbers of other livestreams. Yu Yan only saw the flood of messages that had appeared at the top of his screen after he cut those people out. [Kills King Laoshu has sent a meteor shower on StarTV¡¯soshu¡¯s livestream] This kind of notification had been sent several times in a row and it didn¡¯t seem like it was about to stop. Yu Yan only briefly nced at the message before returning to the game. However, his fans were enraged by the antis who came to his stream just to publicize this. They also started to spam his stream with gifts. Although they were all low value gifts, there were many people sending them, so he even felt a little bit ofg when tabbing back into the game. [Although there are normally so many viewers watching this stream,pared tooshu¡¯s poprity, this stream can¡¯tpete. A group of girls who like to stare at faces, do you expect them to smash gifts for your rankings?] [Yes, yes, yes, our little stream doesn¡¯t have room for you anymore, hurry and scram back to youroshu pit.] [Sorry, I¡¯m a man. I think that this anchor¡¯s livestream quality is much better thanoshu¡¯s. Laoshu only knows how to send out red envelopes every day to attract his viewers.] ¡°I¡¯m just trying to focus on participating in thispetition. I just want to get onto the homepage rmended list during thepetition.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Everyone, thank you very much for justing to watch me. There¡¯s no need to spend money.¡± Because it was a match of 1 person carrying 3, they jumped to North Georgopol. Yu Yan maneuvered the parachute and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go to the outskirts of the city. You guys can search from the center and go around the city. I¡¯ll drive to pick you guys up.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°I¡¯lle with you.¡± ¡°Okay. Then, I¡¯ll take the left side and you can go to the right side?¡± ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen was just searching for items when his cellphone rang. He looked down and only picked it up after a while. ¡°Where are you?¡± Mo Nancheng asked, ¡°I¡¯ve found a good ce recently, are youing?¡± Mo Nancheng¡¯s personality was the opposite of Yi Chen¡¯s. Outside of work, he liked to party and go to bars. In his words, life was only a few decades long so one less happy day was a loss. It was quite surprising to the people around them that the two of them could be good friends. ¡°No.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°ying a game.¡± ¡°ying a game??¡± Mo Nancheng choked. ¡°What¡¯s the matter with you recently?¡± When the sound of a gunshot was heard in his ear, Yi Chen said, ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯m hanging up.¡± ¡°Wait.¡± Mo Nancheng called out to him, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯te today, but you have to be free on Friday night.¡± ¡°What asion is that?¡± ¡°My birthday!¡± ¡°You¡¯re turning 30, and you still have to have a birthday party?¡± ¡°What, even when I¡¯m in my 70¡¯s, I will invite a hundred young people to dance at my birthday party.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Okay. At that time, even if you don¡¯t invite me, I¡¯ll get people to carry you here. Hanging up now.¡± He put his headphones on again and heard the people in-game who had been calling out to him this entire time. ¡°Boss? Is the boss gone?¡± Lulu said, ¡°His avatar has been moving this whole time ah.¡± Yi Chen replied, ¡°I¡¯m here. I just took a call.¡± ¡°Running into the poison circle now.¡± He opened the map and nced at it. The two female anchors had already driven far away. The little anchor was waiting outside his house with a motorcycle, not rushing him at all. Seeing hime out, Yu Yan asked, ¡°Have you finished searching?¡± ¡°Answered the phone so I didn¡¯t search much.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Let¡¯s go ba.¡± Yu Yan looked at the medicine in his inventory; it wasn¡¯t enough for two people, but it also didn¡¯t warrant the need to search for more. He simply nodded and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll kill two people in a bit, and then we¡¯ll have stuff.¡± When they entered the safe area within the circle, they found a small house in the fields and crouched there. Lulu went into a random room and crouched down. She opened her mic to cry out, ¡°Let¡¯s divide things up bei.¡± When yers were searching for items and came across things they already had, they would usually pick up another one to help their teammates, and then just divide the suppliester on. Yu Yan was thest one to enter the room. He thought for a bit, ran to 1¡¯s side and then crouched down beside him. ¡°Why are you trying to squeeze in here when there¡¯s such a big empty space over there?¡± Lulu had finished saying this but then had a sudden realization. ¡°¡­ Sorry, I¡¯m the one trespassing. I¡¯ll immediately scram.¡± After she said that, she let out a giggle as she ran to the other end to be with Tuantuan. Yu Yan said, ¡°It¡¯s not that¡­¡± Yi Chen asked, ¡°Afraid I won¡¯t be able to grab anything?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t reply. When the other two weren¡¯t paying attention, he scooted closer to 1 and then dropped something on the ground while saying, ¡°Extended mag, 4x scope, cheek pad.¡± ¡°About to be crammed back by all the stuff you brought.¡± Yi Chenughed and threw his extended quickdraw mag on the ground. ¡°You use this, I¡¯ll take the extended mag.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± The four people remained crouched in the house with no intentions of leaving. They were in the middle of the circle while in a field. They wouldn¡¯t need to run to the poison circle until the next one appeared. Yu Yan was just scouting around to see if there were any enemies when he noticed that the barrage popout in the upper left corner was moving much faster. [Fuck! Guys, quickly look at the viewers list. Why is this boss here again¡­] [Is he here to start a catfight? Rubs hands.] [Maybe he made up with the anchor in private?] [No way!! Look at this viewer profile! Number one on his star gifted list is actuallyoshu¡­ He¡¯s even a guardian rank over there.] [This person had just spammed over 20,000 yuan of gifts inoshu¡¯s stream. He¡¯s a really big boss.] Even up until the end of the match, the barrage still hadn¡¯t let up. Yu Yan was a bit regretful that they didn¡¯t get to eat chicken. He minimized PUBG and then immediately saw the reason why the barrage had been spammed so fiercely. The words ¡°Will Never Eat Chicken¡± were lit up in his stream¡¯s star rankings list. It was the boss whose gift he had returnedst time. Zhou Yan came in for no other reason except to just annoy Yu Yan. He had received the returned star coins from before, but he didn¡¯t care about that 2000 yuan. It was his first time meeting such an anchor who refused to give him face. After he returned home, he stewed in anger by himself. Using the opportunity the anchorpetition presented, he wanted to let the anchor know that he had missed out on such a generous boss. After Yu Yan tabbed out of the game, he nced at the stars ranking list and stared at it for several seconds. Zhou Yan let out a snort, thinking that Yu Yan¡¯s eyes must be full of regret and loss. He then looked at the praise in the barrage and his heart felt veryfortable. Unexpectedly, a message popped up in the next second. [Will Never Eat Chicken has been changed from stream moderator to ordinary user by yanxyan] Zhou Yan was stunned and involuntarily sat up straight¡ªthis person actually removed his yellow vest?!! After the change, Yu Yan switched back to the game and said in a casual tone, ¡°Sorry Boss. I have returned the 2000 yuan gift that you had sent before, so I have to naturally take away your stream moderator status. Please understand.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Ahahaha, Yanyan dying with all the shiptease Boss Yi is providing. (Idk if Boss Yi knows what he¡¯s doing at all.) Divi: GET BURNED Zhou Yan! Seriously, you got refunded and think you deserve the vest?! Also Boss Yi is unintentionally doing it because he¡¯s dense as a rock¡­ Rip Yanyan. Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! Chapter 35 - Yanyan, say hello. Chapter 35 - Yanyan, say hello. Edited by Noks and Divetus Zhou Yan was so angry that even his head felt hot. He put his hands on the keyboard and ttered away. The sound of the keyboard rang throughout the office. He finished his sarcastic remark with great difficulty, and then pressed the Enter key as if he was venting out everything with this motion. Yet in the end, not only did the message not go through, but a window also popped out on the livestream page. [Will Never Eat Chicken has been kicked out of the stream by Moderator 1] [666666] [These two are too fucking strong, lolololololol ah my god] [If I were the boss, I would have expired from anger lololololol] [Wait¡­ I just want to ask. Aren¡¯t the yellow vests given to a boss just ornamental? I remember in other streams, bosses can¡¯t kick out stream followers.] Yu Yan was also stunned, but he quickly returned to his senses. ¡°Others can¡¯t, but 1 can.¡± After saying that, he felt that something was wrong. He added a sentence, ¡°¡­I let him kick that person out.¡± Yi Chenughed and thought to himself that this person¡¯s lying skills were really poor. In the second match, Tuantuan and the rest insisted on going to Pochinki¡ªto feel the thrill of the fierce gun fights that happened there. As a result, three people became lootboxes as soon as theynded. Yu Yan was left alone to cut a bloody swathe through the battlefield, and then carried the strength of a city¡¯s worth of materials into the final circle. There were only five people left in the game. He held his breath,ying prone in the grass and tensely looking around. At this time, a neither light nor heavy sound reached his ear. ¡°Tch.¡± Yu Yan paused and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°I regret it.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s tone was light. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t have kicked him out just now.¡± ¡°?¡± ¡°Should¡¯ve muted him first and then let him sit in the stream to get cursed out.¡± Yi Chen asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t he on your friend¡¯s list?Let hime back again for a bit.¡± ¡°¡­¡± [lololoololololol fuck it, I surrender.] [lololololololololololololololololol I¡¯mughing my head off, are you the devil ma???] [Every time I quarrel with someone, I will be very upset afterwards and feel that I didn¡¯t y well¡­] [ TooReal.JPG ] He streamed until midnight, and only after he turned theputer off did Yu Yan feel that his eyelids were heavy and flustered. Recently, he had kept streaming past the set time. He sat in front of theputer for at least 12 hours a day, and it was really unbearable after a long time. After washing and returning to bed, he found his cellphone full of messages. Tuantuan: Why hasn¡¯t there been any movement from Boss 1? Is he not going to help you climb the ranks with gifts? Tuantuan: Although it doesn¡¯t really matter if he gives you anything or not. You¡¯ll see in a bit that thispetition is all about padding. It would be a waste for 1 to even send anything. Tuantuan: If you letoshu get the Kills King title&#k2026; I¡¯m afraid Lulu will go crazy. To be honest, Yu Yan felt morefortable that 1 didn¡¯t smash him with any gifts tonight. The other person was just an office worker and had already smashed 30,000 or 40,000 yuan worth of gifts to him this month¡­ No matter how high his monthly sry was, that would need to be two months worth of sry ba? Yu Yan: What do you mean, padding? Tuantuan: Just to climb the rankings bei.oshu received more than 60,000 yuan worth of gifts this evening. With his shitty little viewership, do you think that¡¯s possible? In fact, most of that is his own money, just to win the prize. Just watch, in two days, his gift amount will probably be past 300,000 yuan. Yu Yan: ¡­300,000? Is that necessary ma? Even if you win the prize, the money value is only 200,000 yuan. Tuantuan: You¡¯re dumb ya. Who¡¯s gunning for that that measly little 200,000 yuan? It¡¯s all for the prize of being the on the rmended lists. Do you know how much exposure you get from being on the front page and the algorithmicallypiled frequently viewed list? Besides, isn¡¯t he in the same category as you ma? As long as he tops those rankings, you can¡¯t beat him no matter what you do. Tuantuan: Besides, did you forget? Gifts are divided fifty-fifty between the tform and the anchor. If he spends 300,000 to get that prize, 150,000 will still be returned to him. Yu Yan knew the kind of exposure being on those lists would bring. He had originally been on the bottom of the ¡°popr stream list¡±, and even that had brought him a lot of viewers. He didn¡¯t expect that even thepetition had now be a rich man¡¯s game. Yu Yan: Then what¡¯s Lulu¡¯s deal¡­. Tuantuan: This¡­ Lulu and banana were a couple before. Later, banana used her to propel his own poprity and then dumped her. Now, I don¡¯t know how many girlfriends he¡¯s had. Bah! Yu Yan suddenly understood. No wonder these two wanted to make him more popr, they wanted him to fight againstoshu. He typed on his keyboard: Then you guys¡­. Before he could finish typing, the page in front of him suddenly changed, and his cellphone vibrated slightly¡ª¡ª Before he could react, he was startled by his big face on the upper right corner of the screen. ¡­ 1 had video called him, and he had identally hit the answer key and taken the call. He was startled. After a few seconds, he immediately turned over and casually brushed at his hair a bit. ¡°¡­What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Showing you the cat.¡± The manughed, his fingers touching the cat¡¯s ear and urging, ¡°Yanyan, say hello.¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± Why did he get all weird when he listened to this?! Naturally, the cat didn¡¯t listen to him, insteading up and bumping the cellphone. Yu Yan looked at the man¡¯s fingertips, nodded, and said seriously, ¡°Really lovely.¡± Yi Chen looked at the screen. Because he had been lying down for a long time, the young man¡¯s bangs were a bit disheveled, his forehead was slightly exposed, and his eyes were a bit bloodshot. Fortunately, although he sat in front of theputer all day, his skin seemed to be unaffected, pale and clear. Looking at him really made a person¡¯s heart melt. After a while, he asked, ¡°That anchorpetition, do you want to win?¡± Yu Yan froze and subconsciously, in a high voice, replied, ¡°No!¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows andughed. ¡°I¡¯m just asking, what are you getting nervous for?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll smash gifts to me.¡± Yu Yan replied honestly, ¡°You¡¯ve spent too much money on me already. When I get the money next month, I¡¯ll give some back to you ba?¡± Too much? Yi Chen thought about it. If he remembered correctly, he had only spent a small sum in the tens of thousands ba. The bottle of wine that he usually opened is worth much more. Seeing that he didn¡¯t say a word in reply, Yu Yan thought that the other side was embarrassed. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t tell anyone else. When the timees, I can privately transfer it to you.¡± Yi Chen thought it was funny. ¡°Do I look like I¡¯m short of money?¡± ¡°No, no.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I just think that¡­ It¡¯s not easy for you to make money.¡± Yi Chen reallyughed this time and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°It really is not easy.¡± Yu Yan had put on earphones, so his ears were numbed by the deepughter. He whispered, ¡°So¡­¡± ¡°Is this what you say to all your viewers who smash gifts to you?¡± Yu Yan was stunned. ¡°No.¡± ¡°Then why do you always want to save me money?¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Who¡¯s saving you money?¡± There was a sound of a door opening, then a familiar voice said, ¡°Ge, who are you talking to? Auntie? I¡¯ll say hello to her¡­¡± Yi Chen looked up and saw that Yi Ran hade out of the guest room topless with only a pair of shorts on. He blearily walked out of the guest room and was still talking as he drew closer to look at the screen. The moment when the other party was about to see the screen, he flicked his fingertips, and his cellphone ttered face-down onto the table. Yi Ran was stunned; it took a moment for him to react to that action. He started with wide eyes as he said, ¡°Oh¡ªI see.¡± Yu Yan sat cross-legged by the head of his bed and listened to the voices of the people talking on the other side. ¡°Ge, you have a little secret.¡± Yi Ran asked mysteriously, ¡°¡­ Did you get a girlfriend?¡± Yi Chen¡¯s face remained the same. ¡°I think you¡¯ve been quite idle recently.¡± With just these few words, he drove the other person away. Yi Chen picked up his cellphone and saw that WeChat had already jumped back to the chat page. Little Anchor: The other side ended the video call. Call Duration: 05:31 Little Anchor: I¡¯m sleeping. Good night! Little Anchor: [TuckedIn.JPG] ¡ª The next day, a poprity rankings list was added to all of the anchors¡¯ livestream pages. This disyed, in real-time, the award categories that the anchors were participating in. Yu Yan¡¯s livestream showed a poprity rankings for the ¡°Kills King of the Year¡± award. He roughly nced at it. At first ce wasoshu, with a poprity of more than 70,000 while second ce only had a poprity of a little more than 40,000. He was in sixth ce, with a poprity of 6000. The three ces above him were quite a gap away. As soon as he went online, his private messages icon lit up. [Administrator 03: Dear anchor, during the StarTV anchorpetition, you will get some experience and poprity rewards by sharing your livestream through Weibo every day. For more details please clic.k¡­ ] Yu Yan casually took a nce and closed his private messages inbox. He didn¡¯t n on climbing the ranks, so there was no need to waste time worrying about all of this stuff. Who knew that this private message had been seen by his viewers? [Does the anchor have a Weibo? What¡¯s it called? Want to follow it!!] [Will a selfie be posted on Weibo?] [I wanted to ask this for a long time! Now, what anchor doesn¡¯t have a Weibo? In the future, you can put the livestream link on Weibo before you start streaming, and we¡¯ll share it for you!!] [Ahhhhhh, can chat by private messages!!] Yu Yan, of course, had a Weibo, which had been registered by Lu Xiuhe when he was still in school. He would browse it every day. After all, with a career like his where he stays home all day, he would bepletely disconnected from society if he didn¡¯t find out matters through the Inte. However, he only read posts, he didn¡¯t like or share them. The only post on his Weibo was the one that was automatically generated when he had first joined. ¡°I have a Weibo.¡± Yu Yan looked at the barrage and thought that they had a point. Usually, he always just yed games during his livestreams, so it wasn¡¯t possible for him to attend to every stream follower in the barrage. After opening up this route, this would be another way for the viewers tomunicate with him. He thought about it and changed his Weibo username. ¡°Okay, the Weibo ID is yanxyan. In the future, if you have anything you want to say, leave me a message there¡­ I¡¯ll read it when I have time.¡± As soon as his voice fell, a pink prompt immediately jumped out of the Fans sidebar. He casually opened it, nced at the list of his fans, and was attracted by a Weibo ount in the middle of the list. After all, he was very familiar with the profile picture¡ªthe night sky and a full moon. ¡­ He had even had a video call with the person using this profile picture yesterday.

Chapter 36 - Pay out the six kills bet Chapter 36 - Pay out the six kills bet Edited by Noks and Divetus Yu Yan endured his shame, clicked the ¡®follow¡¯ button, and then clicked to explore 1¡¯s homepage without hesitation. This Weibo ount page was even cleaner than 1¡¯s WeChat Moments. There wasn¡¯t a single post and it felt more like a side ount than a main ount. He didn¡¯t think much about it and closed Weibo. Beforeunching PUBG, he discovered that Lu Xiuhe¡¯s QQ was online. Yu Yan: y? Your Great Lord Lu: Ah, you y. I¡¯m ying LoL right now hehe. Yu Yan instantly remembered that, a year ago, Lu Xiuhe had ten consecutive matches where he had been trolled in ane. The fact he couldn¡¯t win even a single game had pissed him off. He had thrown his keyboard and dered, ¡°If Laozi ever ys a single match of LoL again, he¡¯s a fool!¡± Yu Yan: Not afraid of losing? Your Great Lord Lu: I¡¯m afraid, but it¡¯s different now¡­ Yu Yan: What¡¯s different, did they update something? Your Great Lord Lu: [picture] hehehehehe! Yu Yan opened the picture and saw a healer, one with a beautiful Star Guardian skin, and the name above her head was ¡°Little Fairy Wants A Hug QAQ¡±. Before he understood what was going on, Lu Xiuhe sent another picture of a male character with the name ¡°Okay okay okay hugging you¡± above his name. Your Great Lord Lu: That¡¯s me ughing] Yu Yan: Happy online dating. [Does the anchor y League of Legends??] [I can find five girls with this kind of name in a second.] [Online dating has risks. Please be careful when engaging in it.] ¡°What young male Inte addict hasn¡¯t yed LoL?¡± Yu Yan asked. ¡°After ying for a while though, I found that I still preferred shooter games more.¡± Having just finished speaking, a private message popped up. It was the stream moderator. Stream Moderator 012: Xiao Yan, I¡¯ll remind you that you have already reached level 14, and the quiz game function has been enabled~ The quiz game function was also a way to attract more viewers. A lot of viewers, even if they didn¡¯t watch the livestream, would hang around in the stream to y the quiz game. Yu Yan replied with an ¡°okay¡± and then asked, ¡°Does anyone want to y the quiz game? If so, I¡¯ll start one.¡± [No shit!! I¡¯ve been squatting here for so long just to y a quiz game!] [Hurry up, already prepared to show my hand!] Yu Yan¡¯s opened the quiz game for the first time and set up two quiz boards. ¡°Eat chicken¡± vs. ¡°Won¡¯t eat chicken¡±, along with ¡°Can get six kills¡± vs. ¡°Can¡¯t get six kills¡±. He had originally wanted to open the board for just five kills, but he always yed fiercer than others. Out of ten matches, he could probably kill at least five people in five of the matches. He simply decided to increase the difficulty so he added another kill. Just as the board was open for guesses, the side of ¡°Can get six kills¡± immediately had hundreds of thousands of beans bet on it. Yu Yan was shocked. ¡°Everyone, guess rationally¡­¡± [In this stream, six kills = free beans. Bros, follow me in guessing correctly!!] As soon as this line appeared in the barrage, more beans immediately poured in on the side of ¡°Can get six kills¡±. Yu Yan chuckled and didn¡¯t try to persuade them anymore. Beans were obtained by signing in and giving gifts. They couldn¡¯t be cashed out, so they were used just for fun. He queued into a random squad match. When Yu Yan had just gotten into the game, he heard one of his teammates, No. 1, ask, ¡°Anyone there?¡± Yu Yan turned on his microphone. ¡°Yes.¡± No.1 paused. ¡°No. 3, your voice sounds familiar ah.¡± ¡°Does it?¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°A lot of people say that. I have a popr voice.¡± No. 1: ¡°¡­¡± No. 2 asked, ¡°Where are we jumping?¡± After a discussion, the four of them decided to jump to Georgopol. His teammates in this match were quite active, and there were no novices. As soon as theynded on the ground, the voice channel was full of his teammates¡¯ voices telling each other where theynded. Yu Yan didn¡¯t see a gun even after entering several houses, and the sound of gunshots sprang up all around on the outside. No. 4 asked, ¡°My team, is anyoneing?¡± No. 2 replied, ¡°Coming.¡± Yu Yan was nearby. He said, ¡°I don¡¯t have a gun here. When I find one, I¡¯lle over to support you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. No. 3, youe here, I¡¯ll give you a submachine gun.¡± No. 2 added, ¡°I can also give you dozens of bullets; enough for you to use and deal with enemies.¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t try to act polite and refuse. He turned and ran to No. 2. ¡°Okay,ing.¡± Unexpectedly, before he ran over to No. 2, the enemy had already taken the lead to open fire, and one of his teammates fell to the ground. No. 4 shouted, ¡°Fuck me, I knocked down one! No. 2, youe and finish them off! The opposite building¡¯s window,e destroy their game experience!¡± While No. 4 was talking, No. 2 had already finished off the person, and then he immediately shrank back. ¡°Can¡¯t beat them ah, I¡¯ll go use a first aid kit first.¡± Yu Yan ran over to No. 4¡¯s lootbox, looted the AKM as fast as he could, and then hid on the second floor amid the enemy¡¯s gunfire. No. 2 cried out, ¡°They attacked the building¡­ Fuck! I knocked one down¡­ But I¡¯m done for.¡± The sound of footsteps kepting from below. Yu Yany on the floor and asked, ¡°There are still two people left?¡± No. 4, who was watching the battle, nodded, ¡°Yes, how about you vault out the window ba?¡± ¡°I already took your gun so there¡¯s no reason to just run away. Are they looting stuff?¡± As he said that, Yu Yan adjusted the voice channel setting to all. ¡°No, they know how to y. Dude, how about you run away? My AKM has 30 bullets ah¡­ They¡¯reing up, they¡¯reing up¡ª¡ª¡± No. 1 suddenly opened his mouth. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, No. 3 is very powerful.¡± As soon as they rushed up to the second floor, Yu Yan flipped over from the side of the stairs. Before hended, the muzzle of the gun pointed downward and directly headshotted one of the enemies. After knocking one of them down, he also opened his mic and asked, ¡°Bro, how can you bully my single teammate ah?¡± The enemy team didn¡¯t expect him to jump down from the staircase. The remaining person was stunned but then quickly turned around to fight back. Yu Yan had already aimed at his head. The other party¡¯s level 1 helmet couldn¡¯t stand up to him at all¡ª¡ª [yanxyan eliminated SSss_8391 with a headshot with an AKM] No. 4 eximed, ¡°¡­ Bro, you¡¯re really awesome.¡± Yu Yanughed and lowered his head to loot. ¡°I¡¯m okay.¡± When he hadnded, he had searched and found nothing for a long while. With just this battle now, he had looted six bags to be the fattest man in Georgopol. He nced at the map and found that his only remaining teammate was wandering around outside, three buildings away. No. 2 asked, ¡°No. 1, you¡¯re so close. Why didn¡¯t youe here to help me just now?¡± No. 1 responded, ¡°I didn¡¯t have a gun until now.¡± ¡°Do you need attachments?¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t mind much and said, ¡°There are many here. Come and get them.¡± Soon, No. 1 came to loot things and said nothing more. By the time he came out of Georgopol, Yu Yan already had five kills. He was very well equipped, and couldn¡¯t help but curve his eyes as he said with augh, ¡°Five kills, another one will pay the bill¡­ How about I reopen the board with eight kills ba.¡± At the start of the game, the guessing boards had been closed. The stream moderator was very obedient, immediately opening a new betting board for him. Only ten seconds after opening it, millions of starlight beans were found on the side of ¡°Can get eight kills¡±. After entering the circle, Yu Yan saw a dark shadow from afar. When he opened the 4x scope, he caught sight of an enemy who was standing there and drinking an energy drink. Heughed and aimed at the other party¡¯s head. ¡°Should be able to pay out the six kills bet¡­¡± Bang! A gunshot sounded, and the viewers were stunned into a daze¡ªthis wasn¡¯t from the AKM in the anchor¡¯s hands! Yu Yan had just been aiming when he saw that his character had suddenly been shot. There was almost no hesitation in his action of putting away his scope. Without taking out his scope again, he directly turned his head, and straightforwardly shot at the source of the sound that was shooting at his waist! At the same time, the other party kept shooting at him¡ª¡ª [You knocked down UUMTOM88 with an AKM] [Teammate injured by mistake] ¡°What the fuck!¡± The other two teammates who had been watching the game had also been struck dumb. ¡°What are you doing, No. 1?¡± The person who had just shot at Yu Yan was actually his own teammate. No. 1 was on the ground, motionless. After Yu Yan reloaded, No. 1 opened his mouth, ¡°I made a mistake.¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t believe it. ¡°Did you recognize me? Stream follower?¡± Before, when the enemy had attacked the building, he had vaguely felt that something was wrong. This No.1 behind him had beenpletely silent and had wanted to grab the lootbox twice before he could. Unfortunately, he was too slow and couldn¡¯t steal it from Yu Yan. There was silence for a long time, before he received an answer, ¡°Yes ah, I¡¯m a stream follower. I¡¯m just joking with you, pull me up bei.¡± Yu Yan let out an ¡°oh¡±, and then raised his gun to directly finish the guy off. ¡°You almost made my stream followers¡¯ starlight beans disappear, and you want me to pull you up? Think some more.¡± Yu Yanpletely looted his box, but by this time, the people on the other side of the mountain had already left. He turned around and ran into the circle, saying in a light tone, ¡°Moderator, pay out the six kills bet.¡± [Holy crap, Laozi¡¯s fucking hard-earned beans almost nearly got cleaned out by that grandson! Which piece of shit is trying to snipe us? GTFO! Come out and get beaten!] [Just after adding eight kills, the anchor almost got killed. Heart still trembling¡­] [One look and you can tell that stream follower deliberately wanted to cut off the six kills bet. It¡¯s reasonable to suspect that he had bet on the opposite side of the board.] The stream moderator was quick in settling the ount. In three minutes, the six kills bet was settled and paid out. At the moment the starlight beans all cleared up, the background of the webpage in the studio suddenly turned ck, which was followed by countless stars and meteors that shed across the screen from time to time¡ª¡ª [Yanyan¡¯s Daddy sent out a Sea of Stars in yanxyan¡¯s livestream. After 30 seconds, all the viewers in the livestream will get a Small me*1 and there will be 300 star boxes randomly scattered.] At that time, Yu Yan was in the middle of a gun fight. When he saw this gift notification from the pop-up barrage assistant, he was so startled that his hand deviated. The gun¡¯s muzzle directly flew up to the sky¡ª¡ª [DIRRM eliminated you with an M416] Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± He left the match, minimized the game, and sure enough, the barrage had already exploded. A Sea of Stars¡ªpresently, there was no other gift more expensive than this in StarTV¡ª with a value of 10,000 RMB. Few people would gift these out. After all, the 2000 yuan meteor showers would also have full screen notifications. With 10,000 yuan, you could even send five of those in a row. Everyone was surprised that there was another big boss in his stream. Only Yu Yan, after spending a few seconds in a daze, immediately grabbed his cellphone. Yu Yan: ??? 1: ? Yu Yan: You¡¯re burning your money! The tone was quite blunt. Yi Chen stared at the line andughed for no reason. 1: You can even recognize it¡¯s me? Yu Yan: ¡­. Was now the time to say that? He continued typing on the phone keyboard, thinking that he must return the money this time. The other side was faster than him, directly sending over a picture. Yu Yan clicked on it to take a look, and realized that it was a system message. [Congrattions on your sess in the quiz game of ¡°Can get six kills¡± in yanxyan¡¯s livestream. You have obtained 193 starlight beans.] 1: I¡¯m happy to win the beans. ¡°¡­¡± 193 starlight beans, you could get that by logging in for two days. Your pleasure is too casual. Yu Yan moved his fingers, calcting all the previous gifts, and directly transferred 10,000 yuan to the other party, who returned it almost instantaneously. 1: Are you trying to rank up here? Yu Yan, who was stunned and didn¡¯t understand: What do you mean¡­ 1: This gift gives you 10,000 poprity points in the anchorpetition. If you transfer another 10,000 yuan to me, aren¡¯t you spending money to buy poprity points? Yu Yan: ¡­. 1: Alright. I¡¯m in a meeting, we¡¯ll talk again at night. After that, Yu Yan never got a reply to the messages he sent. He sighed and put his cellphone back on the table. ¡ª After an afternoon of livestreaming, the number of people in Yu Yan¡¯s stream soared from 50,000 to 120,000. Within the new viewers, some of them were attracted by the Sea of Stars, while the rest of them were specifically there for the quiz game. Six matches in a row, each with more than five kills. What was the difference between ying this quiz game and just receiving free beans? Only when his takeout dinner was delivered did Yu Yan stop temporarily and put on a variety show as he went to get the takeout. When he came back, he saw a QQ message on his cellphone. QM_Qixian: Are you there? When do you have time to talk? Yu Yan: Have time now, what¡¯s up? QM_Qixian: En. It¡¯s about what my friend mentioned that PUBG match about joining the team. He wasn¡¯t joking, but there were too many viewers at that time. We were afraid you¡¯d feel awkward, so we just said that it was a joke. Yu Yan¡¯splexion changed: ¡°¡­¡± QM_Qixian: After ying so many matches together, I won¡¯t be around the bush with you. Our team is recruiting starters. Of course, you¡¯ll need to y as a substitute for a period of time before entering the team, but at the beginning of next year, some of our starters will retire. As long as there are no idents, you¡¯ll be able to transfer to the official team by then. Seeing the words ¡°substitute¡± and ¡°official team¡±, Yu Yan felt a lump in his throat and didn¡¯t even want to eat. He pursed his lips, endured the difort crawling up from the bottom of his heart, and quickly replied: I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t y professionally. The other party didn¡¯t expect that he would refuse. After a long time in a stupor, he replied: Why? Worried about not making money? Although it¡¯s not convenient to talk about it in detail now, our team is well paid. Yu Yan: Really not about that. Qixian didn¡¯t n to give up. In fact, their coach had been watching yanxyan¡¯s livestream VoDs for several days. This time, he was issuing the invitation in ordance with the coach¡¯s orders. Qixian: If you¡¯re not sure, you cane to our gaming house and take a look. Let¡¯s have an interview. Where are you from? Our gaming house is in Jincheng, and there are people training there every day. You cane by at any time, and the air fare can be reimbursed. Yu Yan: I don¡¯t know how to y professionally. You don¡¯t have to waste your time with me. Qixian: Why ah? Aren¡¯t you¡­ not going to school? Since you can livestream, there should be no familial pressure. Otherwise, why don¡¯t you tell me the reason, and I¡¯ll see what I can do about it? The words from this message deeply jabbed at his heart. Yu Yan tried to take a deep breath, but he somehow felt that he couldn¡¯t breath at all. After a long time, he resisted the impulse of cklisting the other party and closed the chat box with stiff fingers. He opened the takeout. It was freshly cooked rice with meat and vegetables, with steam still billowing out from it. It was his favorite golden chicken stew. He buried his head, took two bites in a hurry, and then threw the whole thing into the garbage can. Back in the livestream, he opened the quiz game again, and the side of ¡°Can get six kills¡± was once again filled to the brim with bets. [The anchor ate so fast?] [Guess he hurried back to send us beans ba, a conscientious anchor hahaha] [Come on ba, the beans that I have saved for ten years are finally useful today!] The stream moderator waspletely in charge of the quiz game operations, so Yu Yan didn¡¯t say a word more and directly entered the match. In the first match, the anchor jumped to Military Base and turned into a lootbox uponnding. In the second match, he jumped to North Georgopol, where he searched alone for a long time before he was headshotted with one shot. ¡­ In the sixth match, the anchor died while running away from the poison circle. [Died of running in the poison circle?! Is that reasonable ma??] [What¡¯s the matter with the anchor, has he lost his soul after eating dinner??] [This is the StarTV tforming to trick me out of my beans ba¡­] [I could tell from the third match that he was in a bad state. Everyone betting on the opposite side of the board, those past losers have almost won back their losses.] [The anchor¡¯s face doesn¡¯t look good, does he not feel well ah?] As he watched his game character copse outside of the safe area, Yu Yan raised his hand and impatiently rubbed his eyes. Half a minuteter, he put his hand down and directly turned off the game. ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m not in good shape today, so I won¡¯t keep streaming this trashy game content here. Taking some time off today ba, and I¡¯ll start tomorrow as usual.¡± Then he ended his stream just as a series of question marks appeared in the barrage. After theputer screen cked out, Yu Yan leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, staying that way for a long time. He didn¡¯t move until the drowsiness in his eyes was relieved a bit. He stood up, picked up his coat, turned around, and went out of the door. He closed the door with a force that wasn¡¯t well-controlled, and it echoed down the corridor. ¡ª Juurensha: Poor Yanyan, don¡¯t know why he doesn¡¯t y professionally¡­. Divi: Yanyan probably got screwed around by someone back then, saying that they wanted him to join a professional team as a substitute, but then they kicked him out afterwards¡­ And then he couldn¡¯t go to school anymore¡­ Please check out and support the raws if you can!

Chapter 37 - There was no cat in todays video call Chapter 37 - There was no cat in today¡¯s video call Edited by Divetus It was 8:00 p.m, and there weren¡¯t many people outside. Several students in school uniforms passed him holding snacks in their hands. The smell of food filled the air. He took a sniff and suddenly missed the takeout that he had just thrown into the garbage can. When he got into the taxi, the taxi driver looked up into the rear-view mirror and asked him, ¡°Young man, where do you want to go?¡± ¡°Go¡­¡± Yu Yan got stuck. He also didn¡¯t know where he wanted to go. He had just felt a little sore after walking for a long time, and a taxi had also happened to pass by, so he had stopped it. He thought about it and said, ¡°Go to Bountiful Spring Mountain.¡± The driver¡¯s expression instantly grew strange. ¡°That¡¯s too far, young man. It¡¯ll take three or four hours.¡± He was about to say more but then bit his tongue. ¡°Or¡­ do you want to get another cab?¡± Truthfully, he did like to go long distances, but this Bountiful Spring Mountain wasn¡¯t just far away, it was also a cemetery. He was really reluctant to take this trip. Yu Yan responded, ¡°Then, you can drive as you like ba.¡± Driver: ¡°¡­¡± Was this a movie? Seeing that the driver had yet to move, Yu Yan recalled what he had said, and also thought that it was a bit ridiculous. He opened his wallet and took out a note with an address on it. ¡°Go here.¡± The driver nced at the address on the note and then hurriedly stepped on the elerator to set off, fearing that Yu Yan would change his mind. After getting out of the car, Yu Yan stood outside the two-story vi. He put his hands into his pockets and didn¡¯t rush to go in. There was a soft yellow light on the vi¡¯s first floor; it looked very warm. Outside the vi, there was a small garden and a swing. He just looked at the vi for nearly ten minute before turning to leave. ¡°Xiao Yan? Why are you here?¡± The man behind him was dressed in a suit, carrying a briefcase in his hand, and his expression was slightly surprised. Yu Yan froze. He retraced the steps he just took. ¡°¡­ Uncle.¡± Just after the door was opened, a gentle female voice sounded. ¡°Husband? Why did youe back sote today, did you work overtime again?¡± Instead of taking off his shoes, Yu Minyang opened the shoe cab first, took out a pair of slippers, and put them beside Yu Yan¡¯s feet. ¡°En, there was an urgent case I needed to deal with¡­ Is the food still hot?¡± ¡°It might be a bit cold now, but you have to make do with it and eat ba. You came back toote so our daughter even finished eating already.¡± ¡°Heat it up a bit ba.¡± Yu Minyang said, ¡°Xiao Yan hase.¡± ¡°Xiao Yan?¡± There was the sound of footsteps, and a middle-aged woman poked her head out of the living room, still holding the TV remote control in her hand. Yu Yan greeted her, ¡°Hello Aunt.¡± ¡°Ah&#k2026; Hello.¡± She blinked a few times and then threw the remote control directly onto the sofa. ¡°I¡¯ll go warm up the food. There¡¯s fish in the fridge. Xiao Yan, do you like it pan-fried or steamed?¡± Yu Yan hurriedly said, ¡°Don¡¯t trouble yourself, I¡¯ve already had dinner.¡± ¡°Then consider it apanying Uncle as he eats.¡± Yu Minyang put his briefcase aside. ¡°Yu Yan likes to eat fish pan-fried, so pan fry it.¡± The meal was served at the table. Aunt Yu was very skillful, as the dishes were both colorful and fragrant. Yu Yan originally didn¡¯t eat much of his dinner before, and now, he was greatly stimted by the food in front of him. Yu Minyang opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of chilled beer. ¡°Drink ma?¡± Yu Yan hurriedly said, ¡°Not drinking.¡± Yu Minyang stuffed a bottle into his hand, and his palm immediately became cold. ¡°Howe you had the time toe over today?¡± Yu Minyang picked up a piece of fish and asked, ¡°You¡¯re not doing that, what was it¡­ streaming thing?¡± Yu Yan couldn¡¯t resist his enthusiasm. He sipped the beer, and the astringent taste immediately spread throughout his mouth. ¡°I asked for leave today.¡± Yu Minyang had helped him look over his contract and knew that his monthly sry wasn¡¯t low, so he didn¡¯t mention money. He nodded. ¡°If you¡¯re tired, just rest. You shoulde over to Uncle¡¯s ce more often in the future. Even if you don¡¯t want to live here, visiting rtives to see each other is also good. If I hadn¡¯t just arrived, I¡¯m afraid that you would¡¯ve left earlier ba?¡± Yu Yan shook his head. ¡°¡­ Of course not.¡± After a few drinks, Yu Minyang¡¯s cheeks turned red, and his voice grew louder. ¡°You have to eat more. Look at you, you¡¯re too thin and small. Your arms are so slender that you could probablypete with your cousin soon. How will you get a wife at this rate?¡± Aunt Yu patted him. ¡°Why are you talking nonsense? Xiao Yan isn¡¯t even 20, what¡¯s this about getting a wife? Don¡¯t drink anymore, your alcohol tolerance isn¡¯t great anyway¡­ You also have to go to work tomorrow.¡± ¡°It¡¯s rare for me to have a drink. Let me drink some more.¡± ¡°No way.¡± Yu Yan quietly watched them on the side, one corner of his mouth unconsciously rising. During the meal, Yu Minyang held onto Yu Yan and endlessly talked on about his domestic life for quite a while. From 9:00 p.m to a little past 10:00 p.m, he still didn¡¯t n on stopping. From the events of ten years ago, to events ten years into the future, the topic of conversation had already arrived at this. ¡°Xiao Yan, when you have a kidter, what are you going to name them?¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± Aunt Yu really couldn¡¯t bear to watch this anymore. She grabbed the beer out of Yu Minyang¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Can we stop now? It¡¯s already thiste. Xiao Yan sits in front of theputer every day and finally got to take a rare vacation. He has to go back now so he can rest earlier.¡± Yu Minyang responded, ¡°What time is it? Oh, I didn¡¯t pay attention to the time¡­ I¡¯m just happy that he¡¯s here today. It¡¯s the first time he¡¯se to see me at home.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll definitelye more often in the future.¡± With that, Yu Yan stood up and said, ¡°Then Uncle, I¡¯ll head back first right now.¡± ¡°Wait.¡± Yu Minyang supported himself with the table, and his rate of speech slowed down by a lot. ¡°Xiao Yan ah, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s bothering you.¡± ¡°But remember, if there¡¯s something that you can¡¯t solve,e to see Uncle. Your little trifles are nothing to us adults.¡± He didn¡¯t expect that the other party would notice. Yu Yan felt a warm feeling at the pit of his stomach, a feeling which made him feel flustered. After a while, he nodded. ¡°I know¡­ Uncle.¡± ¡ª As soon as Yi Chen opened the door, he saw Yi Rane out of the guest room with his suitcase. He raised his eyebrow and said, ¡°Take out the guest room¡¯s trash on your way out.¡± Yi Ran didn¡¯t understand and asked, ¡°On the way out? On the way out to where?¡± Yi Chen¡¯s gaze fell on the suitcase. Yi Ran eximed, ¡°Oh, this ah? Ge, have you forgotten? The day after tomorrow is Cheng Ge¡¯s birthday. 30 years old, a whole number birthday, extremely important tomemorate it.¡± Yi Chen went to his study. ¡°So, what does that have to do with you packing up?¡± Yi Ran said inexplicably, ¡°His birthday will be held in Manyang ah! I¡¯m packing up in advance so that I won¡¯t be in a hurry tomorrow. I¡¯ve read through the entire party¡¯s event schedule, it¡¯s super fun.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s response to him was the sound of a door closing. Yi Chen sat in front of hisputer, undid his tie, and opened WeChat. Sure enough, the group he had muted had already chatted up to point of 99+ notifications. Mo Nancheng: This one¡¯s birthday party will be held in Manyang. The arrangements are as follows: Beach sunbathing, seafood feast, and nightclub. I¡¯ll pay for the entire day¡¯s worth of food, drink, shelter, and y. Already booked ne tickets for you guys on the day before the party. Everyone will meet up at the airport. Love you guys. [/kisskiss] There were only ten people in the group. Everyone else sent over vomiting emoticons, but after they finishedining, they all said they would arrive on time. Only Yi Chen didn¡¯t respond. Mo Nancheng: @1, bro, I¡¯ll pick you up at your house. Don¡¯t try to run away. Yi Chen replied with a period to express that he understood. Then, he turned on theputer and went onto the livestream page. After a long time of waiting for the livestream page to load, a sentence popped up. [The anchor has gone back to Earth for the moment. Come to see me next time ba~] He frowned and refreshed the page, but the message still popped up. [Why is Boss 1 here? The anchor asked for leave today ah.] [Now that there are so few lines in the barrage, will I attract Boss 1¡¯s attention?] [It seems like it was the first time the anchor asked for leave. I saw that hisplexion didn¡¯t look very good during the livestream in the afternoon.] [1: En, got it.] At the end of this sentence, Yi Chen directly exited from the stream, and didn¡¯t see the line in the barrage after his response. [Why did I get the feeling of like ¡°During a school period, other students came to find their boyfriend, and then a group of students shouted, ¡®he asked for sick leave''¡±? That sort of thing¡­] When Yu Yan returned home, the smell of beer still lingered at the tip of his nose. He had identally spilled some beer on his cor when he first took a sip. Although it had dried on the way home, the smell remained. He grabbed his pajamas and turned into the bathroom. When his cellphone rang, he was washing his hair, and his hands were still soapy. He slightly lifted his head, squinted, read the video call request on the screen, and directly stopped his actions¡ª¡ª He forgot something!!! He stepped out of the shower area while ripping his towel off the rail. He wiped away the shampoo suds on his forehead, not caring about the rest, and rushed to answer the call. ¡°Sorry, I forgot to tell you about my leave¡­¡± Yi Chen narrowed his eyes. In a nce, he saw the young man¡¯s corbones. He already visibly looked thin with his clothes on, not to mention right now, when he was naked. His corbone was very prominent, and his throat had a small protruding Adam¡¯s apple. His skin was very pale. The water on his body hadn¡¯t dried yet, and there was a thin red mark at his neck, as if he identally scratched himself when washing his hair. Beyond his corbone¡­ He couldn¡¯t see anything. The cellphone angle wasn¡¯t good, as the majority of the video call screen showed the bathroom ceiling. ¡°No problem.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s index finger lightly drummed on the table. ¡°Why did you suddenly ask for leave?¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t notice that anything was off. He raised his hand and fluffed up all the hair that had drooped down to his forehead. He answered truthfully, ¡°I didn¡¯t y very well today and I didn¡¯t have a good feel for the matches. I was afraid that I would lose fans if I kept ying.¡± Yi Chen let out an ¡°en¡± and suddenly asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you cold?¡± Recently, cold winds had hit Jincheng, and the temperature had suddenly plummeted. The pedestrians on the street had already put on their winter clothes. Yu Yan replied, ¡°Not cold. Winter here is usually above 20 degrees.¡± There weren¡¯t many cities that met this condition. Yi Chen casually asked, ¡°You¡¯re in Manyang?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Did you just get off work?¡± ¡°En. When I went to your stream, the viewers said that you weren¡¯t feeling well.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s gaze was cryptic, and it took him a long time to move his eyes away. ¡°I think that yourplexion actually looks pretty good.¡± Yu Yan typically washed his hair with hot water, so now both his cheeks were already flushed and rosy. Yu Yan didn¡¯t speak. He had only just discovered that there was no cat in today¡¯s video call. The video call was pointed to the man¡¯s chest. Yu Yan could see that the gray suit and white dress shirt that 1 wore today had a very simr style to what Yu Minyang wore. But 1¡¯s figure was obviously better than his uncle¡¯s; the white shirt was stretched out, and the exposed part of his neck was particrly striking. ¡°I feel fine.¡± The shampoo suds then fell onto his eyelids, and only then did he realize that his image didn¡¯t seem very respectable. ¡°Did you want to y? After I finish my bath I can get on and carry you.¡± Yi Chen answered, ¡°Not ying. You have a rest ba.¡± Yu Yan asked again, ¡°Then, tomorrow night?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t be on for the next two days.¡± Yu Yan was stunned, and then let out a stupified ¡°oh¡± before asking, ¡°¡­ Have you been really busytely?¡± ¡°En.¡± Yi Chenughed. ¡°I have to travel somewhere.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Ahhhh, Boss Yi will be in the same city as Yanyan! Divi: Anyone think how suspicious Yi Chen was when he was calcting which cities had the weather condition that Yanyan had?

Chapter 38 - He didn¡¯t even have the words ¡°meet an online friend¡± in his dictionary. Edited by Divetus and Noks When Yu Yan woke up, the sun just happened to be shining on his hand. It was warm andfortable. He stared at the shining sunlight for a few seconds and then instinctively picked up his cellphone to take a nce at it. It was half past ten. Usually, after livestreaming all day, although he would be very tired, he still wouldn¡¯t be able to sleep well at night. He hadn¡¯t expected that, after taking a break yesterday, he would actually sleep better. He still had half an hour before he had to start his livestream, so he used the skill everyone in the nation possessed:zing in bed. He opened his Weibo to find arge number of unread messages on the private message notification icon¡ª391. ¡°Yanyan, do you feel better? Rest well, and don¡¯t work too hard.¡± ¡°Without your livestream, I suddenly have a lot of free time before I go to bed. I¡¯m begging you; you must start your stream on time tomorrow ya TVT.¡± ¡°Boss 1 also came to the stream to try and find you yesterday!¡± Reading through the series of messages, it turned out that they were actually all messages from his stream fans. He switched to the Weibo home page and took a look at his statistics. It had only been one short day, but his follower count had risen from two digits to 1800. Even the Weibo post that he previously forwarded to save for himself had more than 100ments below it. He quickly posted to his Weibo. [yanxyan: I¡¯m in very good health. I just asked for leave yesterday because of my poor game performance. Don¡¯t worry everyone, I will return to my regr streaming schedule today. Thank you.] It had only been a few seconds since he had posted the message, but a reply immediately popped up below. [1YanTang News Station: Please give me an honest answer¡ªWhy have you only followed ¡°Yanyan¡¯s Daddy¡± but haven¡¯t even followed Boss 1?! Ah!! Speak!!] Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± What could he say? You¡¯d have to go ask 1 ah. Closing this Weibo post, he buried his head in the sand, opened the search interface, and followed¡ªStarTV¡¯s official ount, Tuantuan¡¯s ount, and Lulu¡¯s ount. Only after following those ounts did he slowly get up to go and wash up. Yu Yan was surprised when he opened his livestream page and saw the real-time poprity list of the ¡°Kills King of the Year¡±petition. He had gone from sixth to fourth ce. He looked at the gifts he had received thesest few days. Naturally, 1 was the highest contributor. Going down the list, the next highest contributor was ¡°Yanyan¡¯s Daddy¡±, and below that were his very active stream followers. Scrolling all the way down this surprisingly long list, he realized that most of the gifts had been sent to him after he had stopped streaming yesterday. The individual gifts given by the stream followers weren¡¯t much, but they were still worth several hundred yuan per person. Adding them all together, it was still a big number. They had directly helped him to surpass the two anchors in front of him on the list. As he was still dealing with his surprise, his QQ suddenly dinged. Tuantuan: You¡¯ve seriously attracted some fans. You haven¡¯t been streaming for that long, but you already have this many loyal fans. They¡¯ve been sending you gifts since you stopped streaming yesterday, saying they would help you get into the top three. Yu Yan nced at the ¡°Best Anchor of the Year¡±petition. Tuantuan was ranked third, with banana in front of her, and at the top was a retired professional yer from the LoL category. Before he started his livestream, he went to Tuantuan¡¯s livestream first. This was his first time entering an entertainment anchor¡¯s livestream. The livestream¡¯s background was pink and tender. There were also lots of plushies floating around the page; it was extremely girly. [Holy crap? Who am I seeing? I just have to ask, what¡¯s wrong with you two? Always not starting your own stream, but just running over to another person¡¯s stream. Why do you do this?] Yu Yan nced at the barrage and also thought it was kind of funny. However, he hadn¡¯te here to just pay Tuantuan a visit. He opened the gifting interface, flicked his mouse, and smashed down two meteor showers. ¡°Huh?¡± Tuantuan was just ying some dating simtor game. When she saw the gift notification, she was first stunned, and thenughed, ¡°Thank you Xiao Yanyan for the two meteor showers. I feel your love, but I can¡¯t respond to your feelings. I¡¯ll never do anything to break up other couples.¡± ¡°¡­¡± [yanxyan: Is it toote to get those meteor showers back?] Of course, he was only joking. Tuantuan had brought his livestream a lot of poprity and had taken good care of him in all aspects. These two gifts were sent purely because of gratitude. Tuantuan naturally understood this, and replied with augh, ¡°It¡¯s toote. The money is already in my pocket.¡± Yu Yan immediately returned to his stream after tossing the gift. [Fuck. As soon as you got online, you went to send gifts to a female anchor. See if I don¡¯t break your legs for Boss 1!!] [Everyone calm down. Xiao Yan and Tuantuan are good friends. Tuantuan has also given Xiao Yan a lot of gifts. Barrage, don¡¯t spread rumors, okay?!] [Start livestreaming ba. I¡¯ve suffered enough anger from the other anchors. Those dudes aren¡¯t even a bit manly when ites to ying games.] Yu Yan didn¡¯t say much. He quickly started the livestream and directlyunched PUBG. His queued solos for his first match andnded at Paradise Resort. Just as hended, he found a shotgun by his side. He picked it up, reloaded it, and casually said, ¡°I¡¯m invincible now.¡± The barrage sessively filled with question marks. There were also stream followers who asked him to recallst night¡¯s perfected process of turning into a lootbox. Suchmentssted until he killed four people in a row with that shotgun. After that, the stream viewers just kept sending out 666. It was important to have a feel for the game. Before, when Yu Yan had yed as an apanying yer, he had still yed a few warm-up matches for his hands first. After he started livestreaming, because he was ying PUBG for about 10 hours every day, he could directly omit this warm-up stage. Only yesterday had been an exception. His thoughts had made him restless, so he didn¡¯t y well. After clearing out thest person in Paradise Resort, the six kills quiz game bet was paid out, and the stream moderator very quickly opened up a quiz game board for eight kills. By the final circle, he had already killed 11 people. [Solos chicken dinner??] [With this anchor¡¯s strength, it¡¯s much easier to eat chicken in solos rather than squad matches. Squad matches depend too much on teammates, while in solos, you just need to ensure your own skill.] [Yes. Usually, when he does squad matches, the anchor basically has to y 1v3 to eat chicken.] Yu Yan didn¡¯t look at the barrage. The yer counter in the upper right corner of the screen showed that there were only three people left alive. That was to say, in this circle, two enemies were present. For him, solos were much simpler than squad matches. However, once solos reached the final circle, it usually meant that several yers with good skills were crowded together. It was very easy to get overthrown, so he had to pay attention and not ck off even a bit. He was in apletely tense mode when suddenly, his cellphone on his desk rang. At this time, as long as there was a little noise, it could conceal the tiny action movement sounds from the headset. Yu Yan didn¡¯t hesitate in pressing the lock screen button and declining the call request. He quickly brought his attention back to the game. But it only took three seconds for the phone to ring again. At that same time, he heard a gunshot in his headset. The gunshot had gotten mixed with the noiseing from the phone, so he couldn¡¯t locate the other party¡¯s position. But because someone had opened fire, he didn¡¯t have any free hands to decline the phone call again. He killed thest man in the final circle as the phone kept ringing away. [Holy crap, what a near miss. I had already bet my life on the Can Eat Chicken board!!] [If I was bombarded by such a phone call in the final circle, the person at the other end of the call wouldn¡¯t be far from death.] Yu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and only after that did he look down. He hesitated when he clearly saw the ID on the call, but then raised his hand to mute the livestream microphone. ¡°Really, such a young lord. Not even picking up the phone call¡­¡± The person on the other side of the call seemed to beining to someone. It wasn¡¯t loud, but it was loud enough to be clearly heard. ¡°Oh, he picked up.¡± The caller was Li Hang, his junior high school ssmate. ¡°Was still ying a match just now.¡± Yu Yan exined and asked, ¡°Something up?¡± ¡°If there wasn¡¯t, why would Ie to find you?¡± After Li Hang finished speaking, he handed the phone to the person next to him. He said in a disgusted tone, ¡°Forget it, you talk to him ba.¡± ¡°Ah¡­ okay. Hello? Xiao Yan, I¡¯m Chen Min. My girlfriend identally deleted you from my WeChat when she was looking through my phone before. I sent you a friend request, but you haven¡¯t epted it, so I thought of using Li Hang¡¯s WeChat to send you a voice message.¡± Chen Min exined, ¡°It¡¯s like this, the ce for our ss¡¯ reunion party has been decided, and it¡¯ll be tomorrow evening. I saw that you didn¡¯t reply in the group chat, so I¡¯m just letting you know.¡± ¡°Okay, sorry. I¡¯ve had some stuff going on these past two days, and I haven¡¯t had the time to look at the group chat.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay. It¡¯s the same if I tell you¡­¡± Li Hang¡¯s voice sounded out from the opposite side again, as he started to say something in the background. Yu Yan couldn¡¯t hear what he had said, but it probably wasn¡¯t anything good. Chen Min also lowered his voice and told Li Hang to keep his voice down. ¡°Originally, we thought that we would all go get dinner together, but the group said that was too boring. Finally, the group decided to go to Ginza.¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Ginza?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a new nightclub on Minxi street. It¡¯s very exciting and only opened a few days ago. You usually can¡¯t even get a seat!¡± Chen Min said, ¡°Fortunately, this club was opened by Li Hang¡¯s rtives. Not only did they give us booth seats, they also gave us a 70% discount!¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll send the address to your WeChatter. Please record it down. Then, we¡¯ll see you tomorrow evening?¡± Since he had already promised previously, he couldn¡¯t go back on his word now. Yu Yan could only nod. ¡°¡­ Okay, see you guys tomorrow.¡± ¡ª Mo Nancheng was a man of his word and arrived at the Yi residence at precisely 7 p.m. Upon seeing Yi Chen push his suitcase out, Mo Nancheng couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Really man, why don¡¯t you hire a life assistant? You¡¯re even carrying your suitcase yourself, is that proper?¡± The man wore a simple suit and had casually thrown on a coat. Taken altogether, he looked moreid-back than usual, just like the handsome senior who had entranced a multitude of girls at school. Yi Chen put the suitcase in the trunk and asked, ¡°Do you have broken hands or a limp, so much so that you need someone to carry your luggage for you?¡± Mo Nancheng admitted defeat. ¡°OK. Let¡¯s not engage in personal attacks ba.¡± Yi Ran followed Yi Chen out and when he saw them standing together, he couldn¡¯t help but let out a ¡°wow¡± sound. Mo Nancheng said, ¡°Haven¡¯t seen you in a long time, Xiao Ran. What do you think? Do you think I¡¯ve be even more handsome?¡± ¡°No.¡± Yi Ran said honestly, ¡°I was just thinking that, when you two stand together, you really don¡¯t look like you two belong in the same age group.¡± Mo Nancheng asked, ¡°¡­ I must have a feud with your guys¡¯ Yi Family. Is that it ba?¡± No matter if there was a feud or not, since he had already invited them, he could only wait upon them. When they arrived at the airport, the three of them passed the security check and entered the airport lounge, which was full of familiar faces. Mo Nancheng loved having fun and had wide connections. Almost all the famous young masters of Jincheng were in this VIP airport lounge. ¡°I told you, since we¡¯re all flying together, let me know a little in advance ma.¡± When one person in the group saw the three of them, he immediately got up and said, ¡°Could¡¯ve just used a private ne to avoid this wait time.¡± Mo Nancheng waved his hand dismissively. ¡°Nah. That requires informing the airport chain ofmand about when the ne will take off. It¡¯s too much trouble, I¡¯d rather just wait a bit.¡± Due to business needs, Yi Chen naturally knew these people, but they were all just normal acquaintances. After greeting them, he sat aside, not nning to participate in their discussion. The people who had originally wanted to strike up a conversation with him saw this attitude, and felt that it was difficult for them to draw closer. The opposite side was still noisy. ¡°Nancheng, in order to celebrate your birthday, I¡¯ve put off all my appointments.¡± ¡°I know, I know.¡± Mo Nancheng patted the man on the shoulder. ¡°If you don¡¯t think it¡¯s fun, feel free to curse me out!¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t we going to the beach tomorrow afternoon? Why are we flying over there tonight? Just going to make us stupidly wait there for a night ah?¡± Mo Nancheng winked at him. ¡°How could that be? Don¡¯t worry about it.¡± Yi Chen opened the stream and put on his earphones. The young man¡¯s voice immediately drowned out all the noise around him. ¡°Tried out both of the two new guns. MK47 has a small ammo capacity and a poor bullet velocity, don¡¯t rmend using it. If you¡¯re new though, you can pick it up since the recoil is small. The M762 is okay, but it can¡¯t rece my white moonlight, the AKM¡­¡± The anchor spoke up to here before suddenly stopping. ¡°1? Didn¡¯t you say that you wouldn¡¯t have time to stop by these next two days?¡± Yi Chen¡¯s cellphone screen was rtively small. He didn¡¯t open the barrage and instead just opened the keyboard to reply with: [On cellphone.] After a while, as he continued to watch the livestream, someone suddenly sat down beside him. Yi Chen looked to the side and saw that Mo Nancheng was handing him a bottle of mineral water. ¡°What are you watching? The ne is preparing to board now.¡± ¡°A game livestream.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Mo Nancheng thought it was funny. ¡°What, the longer you live, the younger you get? Now you¡¯re even addicted to a game.¡± ¡°My Ge isn¡¯t addicted to the game.¡± Yi Ran, at the side, interjected, ¡°I think he¡¯s addicted to the anchor.¡± ¡°Anchor? What anchor?¡± ¡°A male PUBG anchor.¡± Mo Nancheng was stunned, and then let out a long ¡°ohhhh¡± sound. With a mysterious smile on his face, he said, ¡°It¡¯s like that then. That¡¯s great. It seems like I wasn¡¯t wrong.¡± When the boarding announcement broadcasted, Yi Chen turned his cellphone off, and gave Mo Nancheng a cool nce. ¡°Wasn¡¯t wrong about what?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Mo Nancheng quickly got up and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go ba, board the ne.¡± The ne flew smoothly the whole way and safelynded two hourster. Several luxury cars, with drivers in suits and gloves sitting in them, were parked in the parking lot. This scene had be the most eye-catching feature of the airport, and many people had been standing around taking pictures. Mo Nanchang had always been a high-profile person. With such a big event as his birthday, he would like it if he had made all of Manyang aware of it. The cars speedily drove all the way to the hotel. Mo Nancheng had been very generous with respect to the hotel. He had directly booked ten of the hotel¡¯s highest quality suites, even giving Yi Ran his own separate suite. No one had eaten yet, and they were about to discuss where to eat when Mo Nancheng hurriedly interrupted, ¡°Don¡¯t. I¡¯ve ordered a big meal at the hotel. Someone will deliver it to you guyster¡­ You guys, just enjoy it.¡± Yi Chen gave his luggage to the lobby attendant and headed straight to the elevator. He went to his hotel room and took a bath first. Then, he sat on the sofa and turned on hisptop in a leisurely manner. He had already finished his work for the next two days. This trip to Manyang could probably be considered his vacation. Just as he opened a webpage, the doorbell rang. It should be the dinner that Mo Nancheng had previously mentioned. He got up and took a look through the peephole. Indeed, there was a serving cart outside, with a big lobster lying in the center of it. It looked pretty good. As soon as he opened the door, the person on the outside immediately wanted toe in. Yi Chen blocked his path and raised his hand to grab the handle of the serving cart. ¡°I¡¯ll push it in myself. You can leave.¡± The person outside froze, reflexively grasping Yi Chen¡¯s wrist, and anxiously pleading, ¡°Wait¡­¡± Yi Chen frowned. It was only then that he looked up at the man in front of him. It wasn¡¯t an attendant. He was a very good-looking man, with a high nose and a cupid¡¯s bow mouth. It looked like he had applied something on his face, since it even shone in the light. His skin was too white. Yi Chen pulled his hand away. ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°I am¡­ someone that Cheng Ge called over.¡± The man bit his lower lip and kept looking at the man in front of him. ¡°My name is Liang Shao.¡± Yi Chen asked, ¡°Called you over to deliver the meal?¡± ¡°No.¡± Liang Shao was shocked. ¡°You don¡¯t recognize me?¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows, his patience exhausted. He pulled the serving cart in to close the door. ¡°Wait, wait, Chen Ge.¡± Liang Shao grew frantic, pressing both his hands against the door. ¡°I¡¯m not here to just deliver food, I¡¯m¡ªI¡¯m here to apany you.¡± In fact, Yi Chen had already vaguely guessed what was going on. His frown grew even deeper, and he said, ¡°No need. You can go back ba.¡± With a little effort, he directly closed the door. As soon as Liang Shao left, Mo Nancheng¡¯s call immediately arrived. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, dude, not satisfied? Isn¡¯t this little actor very good-looking?¡± Yi Chen pushed the serving cart aside. ¡°I think that you¡¯ve been so idle that you developed some kind of illness.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this just me being afraid that you¡¯ll harm yourself with how pent up you are?¡± Mo Nancheng clicked his tongue and said, ¡°You¡¯re almost 30 now. What, is your true love just your right hand?¡± Yi Chenughed angrily. After a while, he asked, ¡°What¡¯s your intention, sending a man over here?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you also chase away the women I sent over to you? No, dude, are you¡­ not normal, ah?¡± ¡°Mo Nancheng.¡± ¡°Oh, no, no, you¡¯re normal. You¡¯re so normal. Your masculinity is head and shoulders above the rest. The universe¡¯s number 1.¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t bother to squabble with him. He simply told him to not try anything else and then hung up. The little anchor¡¯s voice was still being hearding from theptop. ¡°Thank you Verdant for the gift¡­ Everyone, you don¡¯t have to spend money to smash gifts at me. I¡¯m not nning to climb the rankings. Save it to buy some midnight snacks ba.¡± The skin of the boy on the screen was very pale and springy, unlike that of the man just now, who had powder all over his face, just like a Beijing opera singer. His nose was also better looking than that person¡¯s. The tip seemed to be very slightly tilted downwards¡ªcute. His lips looked very natural, and when heughed, Yi Chen could see the little tiger tooth on the right¡ªcute. His double-lidded eyes were just the right size, and his eyshes quivered slightly when he blinked¡ªcute. He looked down at the underside of the neck area of the person on the screen. If he hadn¡¯t seen wrong that day¡­ The little anchor had a mole under his corbone. Yi Chen¡¯s gaze grew deeper. After a while, he picked up his cellphone and opened his chat box with the little anchor. ¡°I¡¯m in Manyang.¡± As soon as he typed out those words, he heard the person say through theptop, ¡°Oh right, I need to tell you guys something. I have to go out for personal business tomorrow night, so I¡¯ll have to ask for a leave.¡± The barrage immediately started wailing. Yi Chen snapped out of it, and seeing the words he had just typed, couldn¡¯t helpughing at himself. Normally, he found allmunication outside of work troublesome, let alone onlinemunication. He didn¡¯t even have the words ¡°meet an online friend¡± in his dictionary. After a moment, he deleted the words he had typed into the chat box and then tossed his cellphone aside to enjoy the dinner in front of him. ¡ª The author has something to say: Chen: It¡¯s impossible to meet an online friend, it¡¯s impossible to meet an online friend in this lifetime. ¡ª Juurensha: Nooo, Boss Yi go meet him! (And if you don¡¯t, fate will definitely intervene!) Also Mo Nancheng is such a rich asshole yboy, but I also love him because he¡¯s hrious? Who else dares to give Boss Yi shit? Divi: Should¡¯ve just pressed send Boss Yi! Why else would you be thinking ¡°cute¡± for everything? Noks: Mo Nancheng seems to have a good read on his friend, though he does act as he wants to mostly. Also, that ¡®cute¡¯parison¡­ Ah, Boss Yi, you¡¯ve fallen hard! Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! Chapter 39 - Are you there? Chapter 39 - Are you there? Edited by Divetus and Noks When the match was over, Yu Yan minimized the game, only to find that 1 was no longer in the stream. He looked at the time. ¡°Let¡¯s end the livestream here today. Tomorrow¡¯s livestream schedule will be regr too.¡± [Don¡¯t stop livestreaming ah. Make up for the leave you asked for these past two days. Stream until fucking 3:00 a.m. or 5:00 a.m.] [Usually the livestream doesn¡¯t end until midnight. QAQ] ¡°I was going over time before. In fact, my livestream hours have already exceeded this month¡¯s livestream requirements. Even if I didn¡¯t stream for the next ten days, I could still get my sry¡­¡± Yu Yan added, ¡°But I¡¯ll still continue to stream for the next few days. See you guys in the morning, good night.¡± It was already midnight by the time he finished and got into bed. At such ate hour, there definitely wouldn¡¯t be any video call requests. Yu Yan opened WeChat to look at it. The other party¡¯s chat box quietly stayed at the top, disying the message he had sent a few hours ago. 1 had said that he was on a business trip. At that time, Yu Yan had justnded in a match and encountered a gunfight, so he had replied with a quick remark¡ª¡ª ¡°Okay. Then, stay safe.¡± It was a line that didn¡¯t need a reply. Yu Yan stared at the chat box and was internally so angry at himself that he wanted to punch a wall. Stay safe from what ah! Why didn¡¯t he ask ¡°where¡¯s your business trip to¡± or ¡°when are youing back¡±?! Wouldn¡¯t these require a line or two for an answer?! He sighed, but it also wasn¡¯t good to disturb 1 again. Just as he was about to go to bed, his cellphone started to violently vibrate. He immediately opened his eyes, grabbed his phone, and looked¡ª¡ª ¡°ss Reunion is on Friday at 8:00 p.m. Everyone must arrive before 9:00 p.m at booth 17 in Ginza, otherwise, we can¡¯t catch the nightclub¡¯s events. At the end, we¡¯ll split the event fee equally.¡± Many people were still awake thiste at night. As soon as the group message was sent, many people replied with ¡°received¡±. Honestly, Yu Yan didn¡¯t really like going to nightclubs. He used to go to nightclubs to try and make friends. At that time, the nightclubs were many times more disorderly than they were now, and usually always had people who would make trouble. Nheless, now that he had already promised, he had no leeway to go back on his word. Just sit there for a bit and then leave ba, he thought. ¡ª ¡°Manyang¡¯s weather is so awesome.¡± There were barbecue grills set up on the beach, with numerous exotic delicacies atop them, most of which were seafood. The grills were surrounded by ten or so men, most of them wearing only swimming trunks, and some of their bodies were already covered in sand. Only the two Yi family bros were dressed neatly. Yi Chen didn¡¯t want to go into the water; Yi Ran had a slight wound on his foot and was worried about an infection, so he could only watch with eager eyes. ¡°Right ba? Jincheng was freezing. I¡¯m not even afraid of standing naked in the sea breeze over here.¡± Mo Nancheng picked up the watch beside him and looked at it. ¡°Everyone, quickly eat ah. We have to hurry to the nightclub before 9:00 p.m.¡± Yi Ran took a big bite of oyster meat and asked, ¡°Before 9:00 p.m? It¡¯s already 8:00 p.m ah. In any case, you already booked the entire ce, so why bother rushing? Take your time.¡± Mo Nancheng retorted, ¡°Who said I booked the entire ce?¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t fully book it? Cheng Ge, you¡¯re going to have to make your way through a crowd on your birthday. How wronged you are ah.¡± Yi Ran said, ¡°If you¡¯re short on cash recently, you cane to me¡­ or rather, my Ge.¡± Mo Nancheng waved his hand. ¡°Are you joking? When have I evercked money? You don¡¯t understand, a nightclub is a ce that¡¯s only fun when there¡¯s a crowd. Also, the nightclub that we¡¯re going to tonight is very famous in Manyang, and especially for their female DJ¡­¡± Yi Chen threw a lobster shell to the side. ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡± ¡°No way!¡± Mo Nancheng said, ¡°I¡¯m going to cut the cake there. You must be there.¡± Yi Chen thought that he had heard him wrong. After a while, he narrowed his eyes and asked, ¡°How big is the cake to fit that many candles?¡± ¡°¡­ Fuck.¡± Mo Nanchengughed and cursed, ¡°I specifically asked the nightclub¡¯s manager, when the momentes, to¡­ send that female DJ to cut my cake for me.¡± The person next to Yi Chen immediatelyughed, ¡°Cheng Ge really knows how to party.¡± ¡°Haha, quickly eat.¡± Mo Nancheng said, ¡°Don¡¯t eat too much though. You guys still have to chug alcohol tonight.¡± Finally, all of them went to the nightclub together. Although he didn¡¯t book the entire ce, Mo Nancheng was still very generous. He had still reserved an undetermined amount of drinks and programs. The nightclub¡¯s manager also personally greeted them at the door. The nightclub¡¯s manager became more prudent in his reception when he saw this group of rich sons all wearing watches worth over seven figures. It wasn¡¯t actually night time yet, but the nightclub¡¯s music was already loud, and its seats were filled with people. It could be seen that a lot of effort had been put into the nightclub¡¯s lighting. Overall, it was dark, but asionally, several lights would drift over, though you still wouldn¡¯t be able to see clearly. The nightclub¡¯s ambiguous ambience was set to the highest point possible. Mo Nancheng had reserved the nightclub¡¯s biggest booth, which was right in the center of the nightclub. When they got to their booth, they found the table next to them was already upied. It looked like a group of young people, all dressed differently. At this time, they were discussing how many boxes of alcohol to buy. The volume of their discussion was so loud it even reached Mo Nancheng¡¯s group. ¡°We have two tables, of course we need to get more. If worstes to worst, we can save the remaining alcohol on our tab and use it next time!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll check who¡¯s here ah¡­ Forget it, it¡¯s too noisy¡ªyou guys look, who hasn¡¯t arrived yet?¡± ¡°Xiao Yan¡¯s not here! Is he actuallying or not?¡± ¡°He¡¯sing, I asked. He¡¯s on his way, there¡¯s a traffic jam.¡± ¡­ In order to achieve the feeling of crowdedness, there were no gaps between the nightclub¡¯s booths. It could almost be said that groups of guests were connected by being seated on the same sofa, but were divided by a ceramic tile wall ced in the middle. The ceramic tiles were piled up to the height of an average person¡¯s neck, and one could pretty much see the guests in the other booth just by turning their head. The nightclub¡¯s manager said with embarrassment, ¡°Mr. Mo, the two tables beside you are hosting a ss reunion, they might be noisy. If you mind, I can arrange for them to change their seats.¡± Mo Nancheng replied, ¡°What, your club¡¯s music can¡¯t cover up their noise?¡± The manager immediately stood up straight. ¡°You can rest assured that the music absolutely can cover the noise.¡± ¡°Then, that¡¯s enough.¡± Mo Nancheng sat on the sofa and waved his hand in an ordering motion. ¡°Bring some wine.¡± As soon as the manager left, the person next to him looked around and said with a smile, ¡°You weren¡¯t kidding, the quality here is quite high.¡± The quality he was talking about wasn¡¯t referring to the nightclub, but to the nightclub¡¯s guests. Mo Nancheng said, ¡°Bros, don¡¯t hesitate if you meet someone you like. Long-distance dating isn¡¯t a problem ah.¡± Yi Chen sat beside Mo Nancheng,zily lounging on the sofa, not participating in their discussion at all. Manyang had cool breezes blowing through the city at night. When Yu Yan paid and got out of the taxi, he couldn¡¯t help but stare at the nightclub¡¯s sign in front of his eyes. From where he was standing, he could already feel the lively atmosphere inside. The ss group chat had a message with their booth number in it. After entering the nightclub, Yu Yan looked at the booths one by one, checking the number against his memory. ¡°When will that female DJ you mentionede ah?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the rush, it¡¯s still early. The night event starts at 10:00 p.m, so I guess she would arrive then ba.¡± The voice of the person next to him was quite loud, and the air was filled with the strong smell of cologne. Yu Yan subconsciously turned to look at the booth; he realized that this booth wasrger than the others. The people in the booth were casually sitting on the sofa with all kinds of alcohol on their table. Just based on the packaging, you could tell it wasn¡¯t cheap. With a quick nce, he saw the man sitting in the left corner of the booth. The man was wearing a ck hoodie. He had his head down and seemed to be looking at his cellphone, so his very high nose bridge was visible. Yu Yan couldn¡¯t make out anything other than that clearly. Although the man didn¡¯t participate in any of the discussions around him, the other people would unconsciously nce at him as they spoke. This showed the other party¡¯s position in the eyes of this group of people. ¡°Xiao Yan¡ª¡± one of the girls at the next booth was the first to notice him. She was pleasantly surprised as she said, ¡°Xiao Yan has arrived!¡± The girl¡¯s voice was both shrill and sharp, and stood out despite the noisy music. The name was too familiar. The man sitting in the corner of the sofa raised his eyebrows, looked up, and saw the young man standing in front of their booth. Under the dim lighting, the young man¡¯s facial featurespletely matched up with the face on hisputer screenst night. He was dressed in a simple white T-shirt, and was squeezing through a crowd of people bobbing and swaying their heads, looking like a little prince. The two people were caught off guard as their gazes met. The other party was stunned, blinked, and then unnaturally moved his gaze away. He turned around and strode towards the neighboring table. Yi Chen softly paused in his motions of ying with his cellphone and his eyes slightly narrowed. Little anchor? ¡°Yi Chen,e on, try this wine.¡± Mo Nancheng suddenly leaned over and poured him a ss. ¡°It was brewed by a specialist. It¡¯s supposed to taste good¡­ What are you looking at?¡± Mo Nancheng was just about to follow Yi Chen¡¯s gaze, but the person next to him suddenly lifted the ss from his hand, put it to his mouth, and lightly sipped it. Mo Nancheng turned his head back to Yi Chen¡¯s face. He asked, ¡°How is it?¡± Yi Chen held the empty wine ss in his hand, gently rubbing the bottom of the bowl while still looking forward. After a long time, he unhurriedly responded with, ¡°¡­ It¡¯s not bad.¡± Yu Yan walked over to his ssmates and reflexively let out a sigh of relief. ¡­ He had actually stared at a stranger for a long time and was also caught red-handed by them. ¡°Sorry to bete.¡± Over the past few years, his ssmates¡¯ appearances had more or less changed. The girls had already changed from wearing school uniforms to short skirts and the boys also had more golden decorations on their hands and waists. Only he, as always, was still dressed casually, bringing nothing but his cellphone. Li Hang was sitting in the middle of the booth, ying a finger-guessing game with the person next to him. When he saw that Yu Yan had arrived, his smile faded. A moment of silence pervaded through the table, and the atmosphere suddenly turned awkward. Even after all these years, everyone still remembered that these two people had a feud. ¡°There you are ah.¡± Chen Min immediately stood up. He nced at the two men and said with a smile, ¡°There were too many people, so we ended up reserving two booths. This side is full, so how about you sit on the other side?¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t care and nodded. ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°The booth isn¡¯t full.¡± Li Hang suddenly opened his mouth and pointed to the furthest edge of the sofa. ¡°Isn¡¯t that spot still vacant?¡± The girl sitting there heard Li Hang and directly disregarded Chen Min¡¯s signaling eyes. She hurriedly scooted inwards, squeezing in to make room for a seat. ¡°Come over Xiao Yan, sit here!¡± Yu Yan thought about it. It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. The two of them were also so far apart, so they would hardly be able tomunicate. He simply walked over to his female ssmate and sat down. When he saw that the young man had sat down smoothly and safely, Yi Chen looked away. Mo Nancheng poured him another ss and said that he must get him drunk tonight. He picked up his ss and chugged it, saying, ¡°I¡¯ve heard this sentence for over ten years already, yet you¡¯re still not tired of saying it?¡± With that, he suddenly stood up. Mo Nancheng was stunned. ¡°What are you doing? Did you get cold feet? Let me tell you, if you don¡¯t get drunk tonight, you can¡¯t go home. No one can leave unless they¡¯re drunk!¡± Yi Chenpletely ignored him and raised his hand to pat Yi Ran on the shoulder. ¡°Get up.¡± Yi Ran was ying the finger-guessing game with the person next to him. Hearing this, he was shocked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter ?¡± ¡°Change seats,¡± Yi Chen said. ¡°Why? Sitting just fine here¡­¡± ¡°Get up.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yi Ran pitifully picked up his ss and quietly changed seats. After sitting down, he asked, ¡°Cheng Ge, did you provoke my Ge?¡± Mo Nancheng stared at him with wide eyes. ¡°Bullshit, I didn¡¯t provoke him. Besides, today¡¯s my birthday, whether I provoke him or not, he can¡¯t give me the cold shoulder!¡± ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± Yi Ran quickly lowered his voice and spoke in a volume that only the two of them could hear, ¡°Stop talking. No matter what, you guys still need to be friends.¡± Mo Nancheng: ¡°¡­¡± Yi Chen had no interest in their whispers. He sat in his seat and leaned back a little bit. With his back nowpletely against the sofa behind him, his posture seemed very leisurely, as if he was lounging in a restaurant in the afternoon rather than a noisy nightclub. Yu Yan had just sat down and already felt ufortable. The seats were too crowded, and his and the girl¡¯s arms kept identally brushing against each other from time to time. The key issue was that she was wearing a top with spaghetti straps. Every time they identally touched, he couldn¡¯t help but feel awkward. He didn¡¯t want to take advantage of others. Just as he wanted to shift to sit more on the outside, the person next to him suddenly leaned up against him. The girl had makeup on, and her eyes were embellished with pearlescent eyeshadow that sparkled in the dark environment. She cupped her hand at the side of her mouth, leaned against Yu Yan¡¯s ear, and asked, ¡°Xiao Yan, why did youe sote?¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°This street had a little bit of a traffic jam.¡± ¡°Oh, that¡¯s just the way it is here. You should¡¯ve left earlier.¡± The girl continued, ¡°We haven¡¯t seen each other in years¡­ Do you remember me? What¡¯s my name?¡± ¡°Of course I remember.¡± Yu Yanughed and said her name. When the girl saw him like this, the only thought she had was that the little deer bumping around in her heart was about to die. She picked up her ss and took a sip, trying to force herself to calm down. ¡°After you graduated¡­ How have you been?¡± She regretted it as soon as she asked. How had Yu Yan been doing? In fact, they all sort of knew deep down in their hearts¡ªit couldn¡¯t be very good. Otherwise, why would he have not even finished high school? ¡°Very good.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good then.¡± She stammered, trying to change the subject. ¡°Finger-guessing game?¡± Yu Yan shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t know how.¡± ¡°That¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll teach you.¡± It wasn¡¯t good just sitting there but not drinking, so Yu Yan nodded. ¡°Okay.¡± Since he was a novice, he lost two games in a row just after he started. After drinking two cups of alcohol, he immediately felt his stomach warm up. The girl rolled the dice and smiled at him. When the dice stopped rolling, she propped up her chin with her hand and jokingly asked, ¡°Your girlfriend won¡¯t get angry if I pour you alcohol like this, ba?¡± Behind him, Yi Chen lightly sneered at these words. Even a 16-year-old Yi Ran wouldn¡¯t have tried this routine. He raised his hand and lightly tapped the rim of the empty ss with his index finger. Yi Ran hurriedly filled it with wine. ¡°Ge, taste this red one. Why do I feel like it¡¯s not as good as the wines sold by the little liquor shop outside my home?¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t say anything, but Yi Ran spoke again, ¡°The female DJ that Cheng Ge likes ising soon. Let¡¯s go down there and dance?¡± He really wanted to see his Ge¡¯s appearance while dancing in a club. That scene would be no different than a God rapping or Buddha doing ballet. Yi Chen didn¡¯t listen to him at all. His voice was deep, and almost merged with the subwoofer sting out background music, as he said, ¡°You guys should be a little less noisy when ying your finger-guessing game.¡± Yi Ran stared at him. ¡°No way! You can lose at the game, but you can¡¯t lose your aura.¡± Yi Chen was clear. ¡°Do you want to go back to the hotel?¡± Yi Ran immediately replied, ¡°I also think that Cheng Ge and I are too loud. We¡¯ll promptly adjust our volume.¡± Yu Yan felt shaken and instinctively looked back. Seated right behind him was the man in the ck hoodie. From this angle, he could only see the other party¡¯s ck hair and a small section of his neck. ¡­ He didn¡¯t know if it was just his misconception, but he kept feeling like he had heard 1¡¯s voice. Could it have been because he had listened to 1¡¯s voice too many timesst night, so he was now having auditory hallucinations? The girl didn¡¯t get an answer. She tilted her head and urged softly, ¡°Hm?¡± ¡°Huh? No.¡± He snapped out of it and shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t have a girlfriend.¡± The girlughed, ¡°So it¡¯s like that ah¡­ Then, I¡¯m relieved. By the way, a game is going to start in the nightclub in a bit, and it needs two people per team. I really want to y but I can¡¯t sign up alone. Can you apany me?¡± Yu Yan was stunned. He had just wanted to ask what kind of game it was when his cellphone vibrated. He looked down and saw a WeChat notification on his cellphone screen. 1: Are you there? ¡ª Quick note: Next chapter is pretty long, so we¡¯ll be splitting it in two! Juurensha: Boss Yi, kind of a creeper, just sitting right behind Yanyan (and making sure that girl doesn¡¯t try anything) On the other hand, I do think it¡¯s funny that both Boss Yi and Yanyan seem to be in their own personal hells when forced into a nightclub. Divi: It¡¯s like a silent protector¡­. Creepily LMAO. Yanyan be out here being nervous and annoyed while Boss Yi forgot his annoyance and is now just lurking around Yanyan. Noks: Their first ever in-person meeting? With only one person being aware of that¡­ Boss Yi, you should thank Mo Nancheng for this inadvertent opportunity! xD Please check out and support the raws if you can!

Chapter Ch40.1 - He said that he was a big fan of your livestream. Edited by Dievtus and Noks Nightclub drinking games were nothing else except: passing cards with your mouth, popping balloons using your bodies, and doing both activities while drinking together. The more exciting these activities were, the more lively the atmosphere would be. When strangers, or men and women with ambiguous rtionships, were packed so closely together, the scene¡¯s atmosphere would grow even more stimting. The little anchor looked particrly silly, not knowing how to refuse. From the looks of it, he was about to agree. Yi Chen was just worried that if he started dating so early, it would interfere with his regr job. As he thought this, Yi Chen put his wine ss on the table and sent an emoticon to the other party. Yu Yan also had this emoticon pack downloaded. It was a little white and orange domestic shorthair cat with three big question marks over its head. Little Anchor: At a nightclub. 1: With your girlfriend? Yu Yan was bewildered. What was going on today? Why was everyone asking that question? Little Anchor: No¡­. ss reunion party. 1: When will you be back? Little Anchor: I¡¯ll be back soon. Have you returned from your business trip? 1: Almost. Yu Yan was just about to reply when he heard the person next to him ask again, ¡°Is that okay?¡± Yu Yan looked up. ¡°Ah¡­ I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t. I have to go after a bit.¡± ¡°Go?¡± The young man beside him heard him and asked, ¡°Why do you need to hurry back so quickly? The nightclub¡¯s event has just started. We should all hang out together before leaving. Oh right, when are you free these next few days? Us bros should go to an Inte cafe and y some 5v5s. Rediscover the feelings of youth.¡± A girl swatted him. ¡°What feelings of youth? We¡¯re still young.¡± Li Hang, who had been paying attention to the people seated on the booth¡¯s edge seats since the beginning, caught some of the words. He raised his voice. ¡°Who¡¯s leaving?¡± ¡°Xiao Yan.¡± ¡°In such a hurry?¡± After Li Hang said that, he let out a statement as if he understood. ¡°Oh, you need to go back to start livestreaming ba?¡± As soon as he said that, everyone else looked at Yu Yan. After all, being an anchor and livestreaming was an emerging industry. Scandals about the anchor industry popped up on the Inte every other day, so everyone was full of curiosity. Yu Yan didn¡¯t care at all. He just let out a faint ¡°en¡± sound. Suddenly someone asked, ¡°Xiao Yan, how long have you been livestreaming? Online, people say that female anchors sell their bodies¡ªa few thousand to add them on WeChat and tens of thousands for a night. Is any of that true ah?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t know.¡± Yu Yan answered, ¡°I¡¯ve never encountered this type of thing.¡± ¡°Of course it¡¯s true ah!¡± Li Hangughed,¡±Anchors ma, none of them actually have any skills. Bluntly speaking, they¡¯re selling themselves. Female anchors sell their bodies while male anchors sell themselves forughs bei. I used to know a male anchor who, after I just threw him a few hundred yuan worth of gifts, called me daddy in the stream. It was so funny.¡± As he finished saying that, he leisurely added, ¡°Xiao Yan, I¡¯m just casually talking ah¡ªit¡¯s just the truth. I¡¯m not intentionally targeting you with these words.¡± The others at the table just looked at each other in dismay, and for a moment, no one spoke. Although Yu Yan had a good temper and everyone had liked him since junior high school, Li Hang was from a well-to-do family; the nightclub they were at today was owned by his distant rtives. Tonight, Li Hang had even driven over here in a baby Benz. Almost all of them had the mentality of holding onto his thigh and not provoking him. No one was willing to step up to ease the tense atmosphere. Yu Yan just silently kept holding his ss. Li Hangughed, ¡°Don¡¯t just be silent. Are you angry? We¡¯re just making a joke between ssmates¡­¡± He had already urately determined the other side¡¯s temperament. He felt that Yu Yan could only sit there and be needled by him at will. After all, he had made a lot of sarcastic remarks in junior high school, and the other party had never talked back. Just as Chen Min was about to take the risk of getting up to change the topic, Yu Yan suddenlyughed. ¡°I¡¯m not angry. I¡¯m just a bit amazed.¡± Li Hang asked, ¡°What are you amazed about?¡± ¡°Amazed that your inner qualities and upbringing actually haven¡¯t improved with your age at all.¡± ¡°¡­¡± This time, even the oblivious girl beside Yu Yan was gaping at him. Li Hang had only drunk a bit of alcohol by this time, but his face turned red as he retorted, ¡°I have no inner quality and upbringing, but you, who only graduated from junior high school and yed games at Inte cafes every day, has inner quality and upbringing?¡± Yu Yan looked much calmer than Li Hang. ¡°Inner quality and upbringing have nothing to do with formal education. I don¡¯t know if anyone in the anchor industry does what you have said they do, but, I do know that most anchors earn money by relying on their own skills and time; unlike you. Look at the assets you have. Which one of them wasn¡¯t given to you by your parents? Even now, you haven¡¯t started working yet, ba?¡± Li Hang sneered. ¡°Yes ah, so what? Is it my fault that my family is wealthy? Don¡¯t be jealous.¡± ¡°Your family being wealthy is just your advantage.¡± Yu Yan paused and then continued, ¡°But I don¡¯t think that you have the right to mock those who rely on their own skills to make a living.¡± ¡°Besides, are you sure it was me that yed games at Inte cafes every day? Not only has your character not improved, but your memory has also deteriorated?¡± Now that he mentioned it, everyone else remembered. Their junior high school had a lot of underground Inte cafes next to it. Most of the boys in the ss would skipputer and physical education sses to go y online, and Yu Yan was one of them. But Li Hang was different, he didn¡¯t just skip sses, hepletely skipped school. Sometimes, his ssmates wouldn¡¯t see him for several days of the week; his grades were always at the bottom of the pack. It wasn¡¯t until their junior year of junior high school, when Li Hang¡¯s parents got called in, that Li Hang resumed the normal student life. Also, from the beginning of their junior year, Li Hang had inexplicably begun to hate Yu Yan. He had started dishing out petty criticisms to him every other day. Li Hang stood up angrily. ¡°What the fuck do you mean?¡± Chen Min hurriedly got up and stopped him. ¡°Okay okay, we¡¯re all ssmates here. What¡¯s there to argue about after all these years? Xiao Yan, he just drank a bit too much, so don¡¯t argue with him¡­¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t bother listening to Chen Min. ¡°Exactly what I said.¡± Li Hang sneered at him again. ¡°How am I not qualified to talk about them? Let me tell you something, who do you think is responsible for you being able to sit here to talk back to me today¡ªdo you know how much money a booth here usually costs? Who else could possibly be in the position to reserve this booth?¡± As soon as his words came out, everyone else¡¯s expressions immediately turned a littleplicated. The girl beside Yu Yan frowned. ¡°What are you suggesting Li Hang? Although we¡¯re all from ordinary families, it¡¯s not like we can¡¯t afford a single booth.¡± The young man at the other end of the booth, who just couldn¡¯t keep watching anymore, also spoke up, ¡°Yeah. This booth¡¯s price is at most four figures, who can¡¯t afford that ah?¡± Li Hang paused. He also thought that he had been too impulsive and had blurted out his true feelings. He took the cup of boiled water that Chen Min had offered and took a sip. ¡°No, I meant that it takes a lot of effort to get a booth here.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll split the cost of drinks with you. If you think this booth is yours, I can also spend money to get several simr booths.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Don¡¯t be so deliberately ambiguous.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s former junior high school dormitory monitor couldn¡¯t help opening his mouth, ¡°It was you who wanted us toe to this nightclub. At first, we were going to just eat at a restaurant. Li Hang, your attitude right now doesn¡¯t look good.¡± Li Hang had just said something wrong, and now, even Chen Min was trying to calm him down. He gritted his teeth and firmly sank back into his seat. ¡°I¡¯m just kidding. Alright, drink, drink. I¡¯ve specially asked the people here to prepare some good alcohol; I¡¯ll pay for it. You guys don¡¯t need to act polite to meter.¡± Yi Chen was frowning when he felt his phone vibrate. He nced at the screen and couldn¡¯t help chuckling. Little Anchor: Really? Shall I wait for you? This tone didn¡¯t seem like a person who had just been in a quarrel at all. Yi Ran lost another round of the finger-guessing game. After drinking all the alcohol in his ss, he turned around and asked, ¡°Ge, what are youughing at ah?¡± Just as Yi Ran finished asking that, a manly voice suddenly sounded from beside him, ¡°Xiao Yan, where are you going? You can¡¯t possibly be heading out, ba?!¡± Yi Ran turned his head to take a look and saw the young man who was rising from the sofa. ¡°No. Just going to the toilet.¡± He stared at the other person for more than ten seconds, going to the extent of even craning his neck forward. Then, he excitedly pped the sofa. ¡°Ge! Isn¡¯t that fucking StarTV¡¯s¡­¡± ¡°Shut up.¡± Yi Chen interrupted him. After Yu Yan walked further away, Yi Ran spoke again, ¡°Really! It must be him. He looks exactly the same as he does in his webcam video! Ge, did you see him?¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and gave him a slightly cold look. Yi Ran immediately understood. Based on his attitude, his Ge had probably discovered this 800 years ago. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me when you saw him? Ah Ge, you should let me go say hello to him. To coincidentally bump into him here, we must really be fated to meet.¡± Yi Chen remained motionless. ¡°Sit.¡± After a while, he raised his hand and crooked a finger at the nightclub¡¯s manager who had been wandering around their booth. The manager flew over to Yi Chen¡¯s side and asked, ¡°What can I do for you, Sir?¡± ¡ª Juurensha: These ssmates are useless (Lu Xiuhe would have been in Li Hang¡¯s face within 3 seconds). Shorter split for the chapter, but lots of things happened, and the next part will be long! Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here!

Edited by Divetus and Noks Yu Yan didn¡¯t actually need to go to the bathroom, but he felt that the table¡¯s atmosphere was a bit too awkward. He thought that it would be better if he temporarily left for a while. The path leading to the nightclub¡¯s bathroom wasn¡¯t quiet. As he walked over, it was clean, but all the hallways had people making out in them. Fortunately, the nightclub could be considered well-regted. It was fine for people to kiss, but any more than that wasn¡¯t allowed. There were people specifically keeping guard, so no one got too out of control. He clutched his cellphone while standing near the sink, saw that 1 hadn¡¯t replied, and picked another emoticon to send to him. After that, he turned to leave the bathroom. Atst, it was time for the nightclub¡¯s event; the music outside the bathroom grew even more intense. The dance floor was full of people. Yu Yan had to pretty much push his way through the crowd to get back to his booth seat. ¡°Is anyone going to go dance?¡± The atmosphere had be increasingly enthusiastic, and soon, someone stood up. ¡°Yes!!¡± ¡°Come on, let¡¯s try to squeeze into the center¡­¡± The female ssmate next to him was also excited. She tugged at the corner of Yu Yan¡¯s clothes. ¡°Xiao Yan, let¡¯s go dance?¡± Yu Yan quickly waved his hand in rejection. ¡°No, you go ba.¡± ¡°Come on bei, what¡¯s the point ofing to a nightclub if you¡¯re not going to dance?¡± The DJ on the stage suddenly changed the beat of the music, and the resulting volume was deafening. Yu Yan could feel the vibration down to the soles of his feet. He involuntarily kneaded his ears and was about to refuse her again. ¡°Hello everyone!¡± When everyone nced up, they saw a man, who was followed by several waiters, standing in front of their booth. ¡°Excuse me, I¡¯m the manager here.¡± Li Hang stood up very naturally. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± The manager raised his head slightly in a signaling motion and the waiters immediately stepped in front of him. They ced the drinks they were holding in their hands¡ªon the tables, one by one. Every bottle of alcohol was of a different type; there was even red wine and champagne. Li Hang could at least be regarded as someone who knew the mary value of different types of alcohol. From the variety of alcohol present on the table that he recognized, he realized that these were all high quality bottles worth thousands upon thousands of yuan. These were the kinds that his father used for social activities. He was frightened. He stopped the waiters from opening the bottles. ¡°Wait, Manager. These aren¡¯t the drinks that I ordered! Don¡¯t open them. We won¡¯t pay for it if you open them!¡± The managerughed, ¡°Excuse me, but which one of you is Xiao Yan?¡± Their group only had one person whose name contained Yan. Everyone was shocked and looked towards Yu Yan. The manager followed their eyes and found the person he was looking for. He immediately bent down and said politely, ¡°Mr. Yan, these are all your drinks.¡± Yu Yan was at a loss but then shook his head. ¡°You¡¯ve got it wrong ba. I didn¡¯t order any alcohol.¡± ¡°It¡¯s yours.¡± One of the bottles had already been popped open. The manager poured the wine into a red wine ss and set it in front of Yu Yan. ¡°The alcohol was sent to you by a gentleman.¡± ¡°A gentleman? Who?¡± ¡°He said that he was a big fan of your livestream.¡± The manager repeated what he had been instructed to say. ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan hadn¡¯t even reacted yet when his former dorm monitor, who was sitting opposite him, had be cheerful. ¡°Xiao Yan, you¡¯re awesome ah. You can evene across your fans here! Manager, how much is the alcohol ah? Are all of them from that man? Based on the packaging, it doesn¡¯t look cheap.¡± ¡°You truly know the goods. This bottle in my hand is a 1986 Chateau Lafite worth 33,000 yuan. It¡¯s absolutely authentic. We have special channels to acquire these, and we don¡¯t have many. This is 100% genuine.¡± The people at the table instantly became silent. The former dorm monitor lightly coughed. ¡°¡­. How much did you say it was worth? 30,000 yuan?¡± Yu Yan came to his senses and tried to stop the manager. Unfortunately, the other party had already poured the wine into his ss. He looked at the liquid in the ss and internally thought to himself, just this must be worth several hundreds of yuan¡­ He stared at it for a long time in distress and then clenched his teeth. ¡°Since this bottle has already been opened, I¡¯ll pay for it. Please help me return the rest ba.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t return it. We¡¯ve already printed out the receipt and the guest has already left.¡± Yu Yan frowned. ¡°Is there any contact information?¡± The manager shook his head. ¡°Sorry. The guest didn¡¯t leave behind any contact information.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The manager followed his memory and continued to recite the lines that the gentleman had instructed him to say, ¡°Because there was an agreement between the gentleman and our establishment, if you don¡¯t want the wine, we also won¡¯t be able to refund it.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Aiya, all this is entirely a token of your fan¡¯s affection ah!¡± The former dorm monitor asked, ¡°So, how much are all these drinks added together ah?¡± ¡°This bottle of Lafite was the most expensive. All the alcohol added up is 63,800 yuan.¡± All of the people at the table gasped in surprise. Every single one of them had just stepped into adult society. Which one of them had drunk over 60,000 yuan worth of red wine before? Even Li Hang could only asionally drink them while at his father¡¯s dinner parties. Yu Yan affirmed, ¡°You must¡¯ve mistakenly delivered it to me. Maybe there are other anchors around. How about you ask again?¡± The manager was even more affirmative as he insisted, ¡°We¡¯re absolutely correct. This is the table, I¡¯ve confirmed it many times.¡± ¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Then, can I take these bottles out with me? When the man returns here again, please let me know. I¡¯ll return it all to him.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Some of the wine in our club is sold at cost, so it can¡¯t be taken away.¡± In short&#k2014;it couldn¡¯t be taken away, and it couldn¡¯t be returned. That person was determined to make Yu Yan ept it. In the end, all of the alcohol remained on the table. Yu Yan stared at the bottles and was at his wits¡¯ end. Just as the manager left, another waiter came to the booth with more wine. ¡°Hello, here¡¯s the red wine you guys ordered.¡± ¡°Is it from Xiao Yan¡¯s fan again?¡± the former dorm monitor asked. Chen Min recognized thebel and hurriedly said, ¡°No, these were all reserved by Li Hang in advance.¡± ¡°Oh, how much is this wine ah?¡± the former dorm monitor blurted out. The waiter said, ¡°The original price was 1200 yuan per bottle. At this moment, the nightclub is having a promotion, and there¡¯s a 30% discount for every three bottles bought.¡± Comparing this with the previous order of alcohol, this discounted red wine¡­ Unsightly, it was extremely unsightly. Li Hang only felt that he had lost face. His face looked ashen and he became even more dissatisfied with Yu Yan. He suddenly stood up and said, ¡°Okay¡­ You can ce it as you please ba. Chen Min, let¡¯s go dance.¡± After Li Hang left, the tense atmosphere at the table eased considerably. The former dorm monitor eximed, ¡°Xiao Yan, your fan is too awesome, not even wanting to leave a name. Do you have any impression of such a super rich fan ah?¡± A super rich fan¡­ he did have one. He subconsciously took out his cellphone and nced at it. The other party had already replied to his message at some point. 1: No need, I can¡¯t y games right now. Didn¡¯t you ask for leave today? Yu Yan lightly tapped the screen with his fingertips. ¡­ What was he thinking? 1 was on a business trip, how could he be at a nightclub? Another ssmate of his couldn¡¯t wait anymore and called out to him, ¡°Xiao Yan, since these have already been epted, are you going to share them bei?¡± Yu Yan hesitated. He couldn¡¯t finish all the alcohol by himself, so he could only reluctantly nod. ¡°¡­ You guys, drink up ba.¡± ¡°How could we have the nerve to drink your alcohol by ourselves?¡± The former dorm monitor patted the recently vacated spot at his side. ¡°Come over so us bros can properly have a chat.¡± His ssmates were so enthusiastic that Yu Yan hesitated for a moment before sitting down again. ¡°Ai, everyone has started working recently, so we only have time to go out and y on the weekends. Besides, we haven¡¯t seen you in years.¡± ¡°Yeah. I remember that Xiao Yan used to be the most popr person in our dorm building. Every day, someone woulde over to find him to y games.¡± ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s a good thing that we were in the same dorm as him, so we could take advantage of that.¡± The former dorm monitor clinked sses with Yu Yan. ¡°How about it, drink a ss ba? I¡¯ll go first.¡± No one here particrly knew how to judge red wine, they just knew that it was expensive. The former dorm monitor held his ss and drank all the liquid in it in a few mouthfuls. ¡°You know, it¡¯s really kind of tasty. Come on, you guys also try.¡± Yu Yanughed and drank with them. He had just managed to finish his ss, but then the former dorm monitor immediately filled it up again. ¡°Next weekend, let¡¯s go to an Inte cafe and do some 5v5s again. Whoever doesn¡¯te is a bastard! Come on, have another drink!¡± Yu Yan hurriedly said, ¡°Can¡¯t drink too much. My alcohol tolerance isn¡¯t good.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. Don¡¯t they say it¡¯s hard to get drunk off of red wine?¡± The man next to him also said, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ve never gotten drunk when I¡¯ve only had red wine.¡± Yu Yan lookedpletely embarrassed, but ultimately, he still drank again. At the other end, Yi Ran just watched Yu Yan pour ss after ss into his mouth. He was stupefied. ¡°Holy shit. The wine is so strong yet they¡¯re just chugging it, ah?¡± Yi Chen turned his head and saw Yu Yan with his eyes squinted, emptying his wine ss in one gulp. His eyebrows furrowed, and he took his cellphone out. 1: Go home early, don¡¯t drink too much. At the other end, the young man took his cellphone out and looked at it. He opened his keyboard and just tapped on it twice before the chubby guy next to him hooked an arm around his shoulder, yelled something, and then filled his ss up again. Yu Yan squinted at what he had said and nodded. He threw his cellphone back into his pocket and clinked his ss with them before continuing to drink again. Yi Chen didn¡¯t get a reply, and his eyebrows furrowed even further. If he had known that this little guy had no self-control, he wouldn¡¯t have sent the wine to him. ¡°WOW! It¡¯s her! Go go go!¡± Mo Nancheng was a little tipsy. As soon as the female DJ appeared, he got up and shouted, ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go! To the dance floor! A-Chen, let¡¯s go together ah!¡± Yi Chen replied, ¡°Not going.¡± Mo Nancheng said, ¡°Did youe to the nightclub to be a statue ah?¡± Yi Ran quickly grabbed Mo Nancheng¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Cheng Ge, my Ge doesn¡¯t dance, but I dance ah! Let¡¯s go party!¡± Mo Nancheng nodded. ¡°We¡¯ll go without him!¡± The rest of the people at the table immediately left, leaving Yi Chen all alone. He simply moved to the seat opposite the spot where he had been sitting and stared at the table in the neighbouring booth. That table¡¯s atmosphere was already full of drunkenness. The chubby guy had a loud voice¡ª¡ª ¡°How many years has it been since us dorm mates have contacted each other? Outsiders would think that we had severed our rtionship! We all have to get together more often, you know? Come on, another drink!¡± The little anchor nodded, obediently clinked his ss with everyone else¡¯s, and drank up. ¡°You didn¡¯t even tell us that you had started livestreaming. I learned about it eventer than Li Hang did! Is that proper?! This deserves another drink as punishment!¡± The little anchor nodded again. Interpreting the way his mouth had moved, he had apologized before he drank up. ¡°Xiao Yan, back in junior high, wasn¡¯t there a girl who confessed to you? She was my goddess! I had been pining after her for three years during junior high, but you, this guy, actually refused her! Don¡¯t you think you went too far? Another ss for punishment!¡± The little anchor waspletely bewildered, but he couldn¡¯t resist the instigation of the people next to him, and drank up again. Yi Chen: ¡°¡­¡± What kind of once-in-a-millenium little fool was this? After the open bottles of red wine were finished, the former dorm monitor waved his hand, and beer was delivered to the table. Yu Yan shook his head. ¡°I can¡¯t drink anymore.¡± He only felt that his stomach was churning and his head was dizzy. On the stage, in front of the DJ, men and women were ying games and using their stomachs to squeeze balloons. He couldn¡¯t even clearly see the people with just a nce anymore. ¡°It¡¯s even harder to get drunk off beer. We seldom drink together and we don¡¯t know when the next time will be. Don¡¯t worry, I drove here, so in a bit, I¡¯ll ask the valet to drive us all back!¡± The former dorm monitor said this while pouring beer directly into Yu Yan¡¯s wine ss. ¡°Come on ba, another ss!¡± Because his formal education was only up until the junior high level, his junior high school ssmates, in Yu Yan¡¯s mind, counted as his university friends. Thus, he hesitated for a moment. ¡°¡­ Then, then I¡¯ll just drink a little more.¡± Mo Nancheng returned to his booth with the female DJ after ying some drinking games. The female DJ wore sexy clothes and was pushing a cake toward their table. ¡°Come,e,e, cut the cake!¡± Mo Nancheng eximed, ¡°Yi, why are you sitting here now?¡± He followed Yi Chen¡¯s gaze, saw the neighboring table¡¯s situation, and couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue. ¡°Young people party pretty crazily nowadays. Mixing drinks, eventually they¡¯re going to have problems.¡± ¡°Done talking?¡± Yi Chen nced at the cake that had two digits on it¡ª18. Heughed and said, ¡°You really care about your face.¡± ¡°Of course. Quickly, cut the cake. When the cake is cut, we¡¯re heading back.¡± A person standing nearby cried out, ¡°So fast? It¡¯s only halfway through the event!¡± Mo Nancheng put his arm around the female DJ¡¯s shoulder and said with a smile, ¡°Aiya, I¡¯m old. I can¡¯t party anymore. Everyone must understand.¡± The female DJughed heartily in his arms. Yi Ran sat back in his seat and couldn¡¯t help but nce at Yu Yan. He became startled as soon as he saw him; obviously, Yu Yan had drunk too much. His eyes were narrowed, and by this time, he was half spread out on the sofa as he listened to the people beside him talk. Every now and then, he would clink sses with someone. He whispered, ¡°Ge, Xiao Yan is drunk ba?¡± Yi Chen responded, ¡°En.¡± At this moment, Yu Yan suddenly sat up straight. He put his elbows on his knees and covered his whole face with his palm, as if he was trying to sober up. Yi Ran said, ¡°I think he¡¯s not feelingfortable right now.¡± Yi Chen withdrew his gaze from Yu Yan¡¯s table and put his cellphone away. On his cellphone were the many messages he had sent out, without having received a reply for any of them. ¡°He should suffer a little, so he can learn to be goodter.¡± Yi Ran thought to himself, you sent someone wine, and they drank all of it, but you¡¯re still not happy? But he only dared to think that; he didn¡¯t dare to actually say it out loud. This side was full of old drunkards who had traversed the drinking scene for many years. Thus, despite how much they drank, no one was drunk. After cutting his cake, Mo Nancheng stood up. ¡°Okay, we¡¯re pretty much done for today. Let¡¯s head back? There are still events at the hotel as well. If you¡¯rete in getting back, you¡¯ll miss them.¡± Everyone knew what these ¡°events¡± were. They got up one after another to leave. Yi Ran asked, ¡°Ge, why didn¡¯t I get an ¡®event¡¯ ah?¡± ¡°You¡¯re this young, and you want an event? Do you want your Ge to hack me to death with an axe?¡± Before leaving, Yi Chen looked back. Yu Yan was now lying on the sofa, alreadypletely knocked out. His mouth was slightly open, he looked just like a standard drunk person. After they walked out of the nightclub, the night breeze that blew against them sobered them all up. Mo Nancheng had arranged for four cars to wait for them outside. After seeing all the other people off, only the four of them were left. Mo Nancheng cuddled with the female DJ and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. Get in the car.¡± Yi Chen turned on his cellphone for the third time. It was empty. He still hadn¡¯t received any notifications. After a while, he sighed, ¡°Wait a minute.¡± Mo Nancheng: ¡°?¡± ¡°You three go back first.¡± Yi Ran was shocked. ¡°Then, what about you?¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°I still have something else to do.¡± He tossed this sentence behind as he turned around and walked back into the nightclub, regardless of the questions from the people behind him. ¡ª When the other people came back from the dance floor, they saw Yu Yan lying on the sofa, looking as if he had passed out. ¡°You guys went too far ba. Did you force him to drink so much that he became like this?¡± The former dorm monitor tried to exin, ¡°No. Xiao Yan¡¯s alcohol tolerance, well, it doesn¡¯t seem that good.¡± ¡°How good do you think your alcohol tolerance is? You can¡¯t even talk properly.¡± Chen Min put on his coat. ¡°It¡¯s already 12:30 a.m, so how about we leave ba?¡± ¡°Then, who will send Xiao Yan home ah?¡± ¡°I, I asked for a valet¡­¡± the former dorm monitor hurriedly said. ¡°I¡¯ll send him back.¡± A low male voice spoke out. Everyone looked over and saw an unfamiliar man standing at their table. The man was tall and handsome. He wore a simple ck hoodie and gave off an impression of aloofness. Everyone was stunned. A discussion immediately burst out between the girls. The former dorm monitor asked, ¡°Who are you ah?¡± ¡°His friend,¡± said Yi Chen. ¡°What friend?¡± The former dorm monitor looked at him suspiciously. ¡°No need, we¡¯ll send him back ourselves.¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows. ¡°We made an agreement before, that I woulde to pick him up. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can read his WeChat.¡± The person next to Yu Yan quickly pulled out his cellphone from his pocket, unlocked it with his fingerprint, and then opened WeChat. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°WeChat name is 1.¡± The young man looked through Yu Yan¡¯s WeChat and said, ¡°¡­ It seems like it¡¯s true, Xiao Yan stickied his chat to the top. But, I don¡¯t see a message about you picking him up ah?¡± Stickied his chat to the top? That bit actually surprised Yi Chen a little. ¡°We agreed on it using voice messages,¡± he calmly replied, not revealing anything on his face. Finally, since the WeChat IDs matched, these people only asked a few more questions before reluctantly agreeing to let him take Yu Yan away. Yu Yan, who was in a daze, felt his arm being lifted by someone before being ced against something to lean on. Yi Chen easily supported him up and left without looking back. The young man¡¯s hair was very soft and scratched against his chin a bit. It was a little ticklish. When they got into the taxi, the driver said, ¡°I¡¯m going to fine you 500 yuan if he vomits ah. Where are you going?¡± It was only then that Yi Chen was reminded of something. He turned around and asked Yu Yan, ¡°Where do you live?¡± Yu Yan leaned his head against the window. His head felt like it was splitting in two and he begged for mercy, ¡°No more drinking.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Yi Chen couldn¡¯t help but lift his hand to pinch Yu Yan¡¯s face. He had already wanted to do this in the nightclub while asking him if he had a brain. If he did, how could he be so stupid to get this drunk? ¡°Where do you live?¡± he asked again. Yu Yan finally reacted. He turned his head with great difficulty to face Yi Chen. Because he had drunk too much, his eyes were misty, his face was puzzled, and he looked very pitiful. It was 1¡¯s voice. Had he fallen asleep? Was he dreaming? A long time passed before he opened his mouth¡ª¡ª ¡°Hic!¡± He belched loudly. ¡°¡­¡± Yi Chen gave up on trying tomunicate with him and released him. ¡°Go to Miyang Hotel.¡± ¡ª The author has something to say: The price of champagne is a little hard to check, so I changed it to red wine me me, a poor person who hasn¡¯t seen the world. Make do with it ba. ¡ª Juurensha: Yay for facepping, boo for idiot bros who think mixing wine with beer is a good idea (and that you can¡¯t get drunk off of wine???) QAQ for that super expensive wine all just chugged down¡­you¡¯re supposed to sip it guys! And at least Boss Yi is there to take care of him, these ssmates are pretty useless as I said before. Divi: Truly young fellows that don¡¯t know the world. Mixing alcohols? Chugging 10K USD wine? You¡¯re supposed to enjoy it as you lounge¡­ At least Boss Yi got to facep the idiot!

Chapter 41 - With a confused expression Chapter 41 - With a confused expression Edited by Divetus and Noks The taxi had one of its windows lowered a little, and Yu Yan¡¯s hair fluttered under the cool breeze that blew in. When he got out of the car, his hair had beenpletely blown into a disarray, looking as messy as a bird¡¯s nest. He had the appearance of aplete drunkard. Yi Chen paid the taxi fare as he stepped out. He supported Yu Yan by the waist and then dragged him up. He was really thin; it felt as if Yi Chen was carrying something almost weightless. Yu Yan¡¯s waist was also much slimmer than that of an average man. The attendant by the hotel¡¯s entrance saw this and quickly rushed up. ¡°Sir, I¡¯ll help you.¡± Yi Chen looked at the man in his arms. The other party¡¯s face was pressed against his shoulder, and he had exerted a lot of strength to force his mouth into a pout. ¡°En.¡± He handed the person over. The person in his arms suddenly moved. Yu Yan opened his eyes and asked the attendant, ¡°¡­ Who are you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m a hotel employee. You¡¯re drunk, I¡¯m going to help bring you to your room.¡± Hotel? Yu Yan shook his head, leaned away from the attendant, and waved his hand at him. ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t live in a hotel.¡± Yi Chen narrowed his eyes. ¡°Where¡¯s your home?¡± ¡°Home, home is¡­¡± He tried hard to think about it for a long time, but then suddenly looked up. ¡°¡­ 1?¡± ¡°En.¡± Yu Yan stared at him for a moment before abruptly raising his hand to directly pinch his chin. Yi Chen: ¡°¡­¡± Just pinching it wasn¡¯t enough, so he spread his hand out and gently patted his face instead. After a while, he muttered in a low voice, ¡°¡­ This time, I managed to dream up a face?¡± The attendant snuck a nce and saw that the man¡¯s expression had indeed turned very heavy. He had some impression of this person. These tycoons had directly booked their hotel¡¯s highest quality suites, so the front desk had received a message that they must take good care of them. He hurriedly stepped forward, trying to forcefully take the person away, but the man holding him suddenly backed away. ¡°You don¡¯t need to do it anymore.¡± Yi Chen gathered the person up again. ¡°Send a cup of honey and fresh ginger water up to room 2311.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± The attendant rushed ahead to help him press the elevator button. ¡°I¡¯ll send it up to you straight away.¡± As soon as the elevator door closed, the person in his arms began to move restlessly. ¡°1, I¡¯m hot.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Can you wait for me to get up out of bed, turn¡­ turn on the fan¡­ Thene back again?¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t really understand what he was saying. ¡°No.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan dazedly thought, why was the 1 in his dream so unreasonable? He really felt too hot, especially his ears, neck, and stomach. It was like they were on fire, and it was especially ufortable. Yi Chen carried the person to his hotel suite¡¯s door, swiped the card to open it, walked all the way to the bedroom, and directly ced him onto the bed. The hotel¡¯s bed was so soft that Yi Chen had felt that if he slept there for too long, his waist would develop problems. Yu Yan thought that something was fishy as soon as he was ced onto the bed. He felt as though he was trapped in cotton andpletely powerless¡ªunable to move around even a bit. Since the smell of alcohol still lingered on his body, Yi Chen opened his suitcase and prepared to change into a clean set of clothes. ¡°After drinking the honey ginger water, go to sleep.¡± Yi Chen had originally thought of leaving this person in the nightclub, since naturally, someone would take him home. However, his ssmates hadn¡¯t looked very reliable at all, and they¡¯d have probably just left him alone after sending him back home. Based on his usual livestreams, it seemed like he lived by himself. So, after returning to his ce, he most likely wouldn¡¯t have anyone who would take care of him. If he didn¡¯t have something to drink to flush some of the alcohol out, then he would have a hangover when he got up tomorrow. He had presumed that Yu Yan would fall asleep as soon as his head touched the bed, but he didn¡¯t expect that he had miscalcted. Right now, Yu Yan had already turned himself over, and was fully lying on his stomach on the bed as he stared fixedly at Yi Chen. ¡°What are you looking for?¡± Yi Chen answered, ¡°Clothes.¡± Yu Yan let out an ¡°oh¡± sound. ¡°¡­ My head really hurts.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Yi Chen looked back and saw that his eyes were red. He said indifferently, ¡°I helped you get out of a predicament, but you still ended up throwing yourself into a pit.¡± Yu Yan thought that 1 looked a bit familiar, but that wasn¡¯t important. He also thought that 1 was especially good-looking. His facial features were much more defined than that of an average person, but not as sharp as that of a foreign man. He stared at him for a long time and asked again, ¡°What are you looking for?¡± ¡°Clothes.¡± Yu Yan nodded. ¡°Thank you.¡± Yi Chen stopped his action of searching and thought it was funny. ¡°What are you thanking me for?¡± When he didn¡¯t receive an answer, Yi Chen turned around. He saw the person on the bed had turned his back on him and had already taken off his shirt. Yu Yan¡¯s back was very white, his shoulder des were high and protruding, and his skin was nearly wless, all due to his staying at home all year round. After taking his clothes off, he randomly tossed them to the side. Yi Chen stared at him for a moment. His throat became inexplicably dry, and after a while, he said, ¡°I¡¯m not looking for your clothes.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Of course he knew; this was a dream. Even if 1 had found him some clothes, he wouldn¡¯t really be able to put them on. ¡°You, you can continue¡­ Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± After having taken his clothes off, he felt a bit cold. Yu Yan subconsciously pulled up the quilt that was beside him, covered himself with it, and continued to just lie there while staring at Yi Chen. Seeing such an appearance, it seemed like he had picked up a puppy. Yi Chen turned around and rummaged around his suitcase a bit. Since he was only staying here for two days, he hadn¡¯t brought many clothes. He found the smallest piece of clothing he had and threw it onto the bed. ¡°Put it on.¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m veryfortable here¡­¡± Just as Yu Yan finished saying that, he suddenly felt a burst of acid surging up from his stomach. He frowned. ¡°It¡¯s over, 1. I¡­ I feel like I¡¯m going to throw up.¡± His alcohol tolerance was already terrible but he had even mixed drinks on top of that¡ªit was normal to throw up. Yi Chen said, ¡°Get up. I¡¯ll help you to the toilet.¡± ¡°Not going.¡± He stubbornly tightened his grip on the quilt. ¡°I can bear it.¡± Yi Chen replied, ¡°¡­ You don¡¯t have to bear it. Get up.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t. If I move too much and am not careful, it¡¯s very likely that I¡¯ll wake up.¡± This dream with such a face was a rare, once-in-a-thousand-years urrence. He didn¡¯t want to just wake up like that. It had already gotten to this point, and this person actually still thought that he was dreaming. ¡°How do you know that this is a dream?¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows. An idea suddenly shed through his head. ¡°¡­ Do you dream of me often?¡± Yu Yan boldly and straightforwardly replied, ¡°Of course.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Yu Yan responded, ¡°Because every night I¡­¡± Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the ringing doorbell. Yu Yan forcefully swallowed what he was going to say next and reminded him, ¡°The doorbell rang.¡± Yi Chen walked out of the bedroom and opened the door. It was the attendant from before, carrying honey ginger water in his hand. The attendant had another person behind him. Mo Nancheng stuck his head out to look inside. He asked, ¡°Who¡¯s in there?¡± Yi Chen received the honey ginger water, waited for the attendant to leave, and simply replied, ¡°Nobody.¡± ¡°Then, who¡¯s drinking this honey ginger water?¡± Mo Nancheng had juste out of his room when he happened to bump into the attendant. He wanted to find out who couldn¡¯t endure anymore and needed to drink honey ginger water to detox. He didn¡¯t expect that the attendant would actually stop outside of Yi Chen¡¯s room. ¡°Me.¡± ¡°Impossible.¡± Mo Nancheng said, ¡°What¡¯s our rtionship? How could I not know your alcohol tolerance? Is it that person that you went back into the nightclub to pick up?¡± Just as Yi Chen had wanted to drive him away, he heard a voice cry out from inside, ¡°1¡ªI can¡¯t hold on any longer!¡± Yu Yan really felt that he was going to vomit. Even if he didn¡¯t want to, he couldn¡¯t hold it back anymore. His mouth couldn¡¯t stop wanting to retch. These words didn¡¯t sound quite right when they floated into the other person¡¯s ears. Hearing the male voice, Mo Nancheng clearly understood. ¡°¡­ It seems that I have disturbed you guys?¡± Yi Chen replied, ¡°Just a friend.¡± ¡°Which friend of yours is worth you specifically going back to pick them up ah?¡± Mo Nanchengmented, ¡°Isn¡¯t our rtionship irond ba? And yet, thest time I got drunk in the pub, you fucking dumped me on the sofa without any hesitation and just left.¡± Yi Chen retorted, ¡°The hostess of that pub was your old me.¡± ¡°¡­ That¡¯s different.¡± There was some movement in the bedroom again. Yi Chen didn¡¯t bother talking to Mo Nancheng any longer and directly shut the door. Yu Yan, relying on his intuition, bumped and collided with things in the room until he sessfully found the suite¡¯s bathroom. He held onto the toilet as he let out a stream of vomit. He felt much morefortable after vomiting. He coughed several times, then heard the sound of movement, and so turned around to take a look. 1 was standing at the bathroom door holding a bath towel, looking at him. Yi Chen walked up to him, flushed the toilet, and asked Yu Yan as he towered over him, ¡°Finished vomiting?¡± ¡°¡­ Should be, ba.¡± The man moved towards him, grabbed his arm, and directly pulled him up. In a very brisk manner, he rubbed the towel on his mouth and then took him to the sink. ¡°Rinse your mouth.¡± Yu Yan felt that 1¡¯s tone had suddenly be a bit heavy, making him sound fierce. He obediently rinsed his mouth and went back to bed, his hands stuffed with a cup of honey ginger water. ¡°Drink it all and then sleep.¡± Yu Yan held the cup. ¡°Then, what about you?¡± ¡°There are two rooms.¡± This bed already smelled of alcohol, so he had intended to go to the other room to sleep. Yu Yan drank the honey ginger water and said, ¡°So troublesome. You used to just sleep by my ear.¡± Yi Chen stopped his movement of getting up. After a while, he squinted and asked, ¡°Sleep beside you?¡± Yu Yany on the bed and looked at him unabashedly. ¡°Yeah.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yi Chen reconfirmed, ¡°You¡¯ve dreamed of me sleeping beside you?¡± Yu Yan thought about it. Beside him and by his ear were pretty much both the same thing ba. ¡°Yes,¡± he nodded. Yi Chen¡¯s eyebrows twisted slightly, and his eyes lowered, as if he was trying to understand the meaning of these words. They were only online friends at best, but the little anchor often dreamt of him? And even more, dreamt that they slept together? No matter how you thought about it¡­ it didn¡¯t seem like a healthy kind of dream. After a long silence, during which he had almost fallen asleep, Yu Yan asked in a much quieter voice, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you talking anymore?¡± Although he looked very sleepy, his eyes had been fixed on Yi Chen since the beginning, without wavering even a bit. This waspletely different from the small scared dumpling in the nightclub who had immediately ducked away when their eyes had previously met. A thought suddenly popped into Yi Chen¡¯s mind. He frowned and quickly pushed the thought away. When he looked again, the small scared dumpling had almost closed his eyes, and was maintaining a drowsy appearance. Yi Chen suddenly felt relieved that they were just online friends who had never met before; he really didn¡¯t need to think about it too much. He got up to leave. When he got to the door, he raised his hand and turned off the light. ¡°Sleep ba.¡± The room was instantly plunged into darkness, with the air still reeking of alcohol. Yu Yan felt that his eyelids were very heavy. His upper and lower eyelids were like mas, and he desperately wanted to close them. But the sensation that something was wrong kept bothering him; it was like something was missing. He finally managed to remember only when it suddenly got dark around him. ¡°Wait!¡± Yi Chen paused briefly as he was closing the door, raised his hand, and turned on the light again. Only to see that the little anchor was already sitting up from the bed. He had grabbed his cellphone from the bedside table and was patting himself down, as if looking for something. He muttered, ¡°Earphones¡­ earphones.¡± After a while, he sighed, ¡°Forget it.¡± Just as Yi Chen was about to ask, he saw Yu Yan open an app on his cellphone and then click on something. Afterward, a low male voice sounded out from his cellphone¡ª¡ª ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sweet. He is very sweet.¡± ¡°Yanyan? He¡¯s very well-behaved.¡± At this moment, the owner of this voice was standing by the door with a rare expression of stupor on his face. Before Yi Chen could react, he saw the little anchor lower the volume of the cellphone. He then ced the cellphone by his pillow, using both hands to make sure that the cellphone¡¯s speaker was pointed directly at his ear. Then, he fell asleep quite naturally. ¡°¡­¡± Only when the person on the bed started snoring did Yi Chen finally regain hisposure. He looked at the person sleeping on the bed with aplex expression. The thought that he had just pressed down had now grown into a towering tree. It wasn¡¯t until the music on Yu Yan¡¯s cellphone looped that Yi Chen finally started moving¡ª¡ª He walked forward, with a confused expression, to help cover Yu Yan with the quilt he had just carelessly tossed off. ¡­ Then, with the same confused expression, he turned off the ¡°The Must-Tell Beautiful Love Story between a Little Anchor and a Big Boss¡± audio file that was ying. Finally, with his confused expression still on his face, he turned away and quietly closed the bedroom door. ¡ª Juurensha: Okay but, drunk Yanyan was so cute guys. Divi: I hope Yanyan remembers his ¡°dream¡± tomorrow. Also, good job Boss Yi on caring for Yanyan T_T. You should also most definitely take care of your friends if they be dead drunk¡ªdon¡¯t leave them alone because if they vomit on themselves they can choke if they¡¯re not lying face down.

Edited by Divetus and Noks The next day, Mo Nancheng gathered everyone to check out at 10:00 a.m. All the people who had attended his birthday celebrations were very busy people. There were a few who had to rush back to Jincheng for business meetings. Yi Ran yawned. ¡°Cheng Ge, how about you guys go back first ba? I¡¯ll sleep for a few more hours, and book my own flight back.¡± ¡°Get on the ne and sleep ba.¡± Mo Nancheng looked around. ¡°Where¡¯s your Ge?¡± ¡°Ah? I don¡¯t know. You haven¡¯t seen him?¡± asked Yi Ran. ¡°He would never simplyze in bed.¡± Yi Chen zipped up his suitcase and ced it by his feet before finally looking at the person in the bedroom. The person inside was still sleeping. The air conditioner hadn¡¯t been set too high, but he waspletely wrapped up in his quilt, only revealing his face. Even though he was drunk, he still slept with a well-mannered posture. The posture with which he had fallen asleepst night had been maintained up to now. However, due to this, one side of his hair had been crushed and had be a tragic sight to see. Yi Chen dragged his suitcase and turned to exit the room. However, after a moment, he turned back and tightly closed the living room curtains before leaving again. ¡°There he is!¡± Mo Nancheng was about to make a call when he saw the person that he was looking for step out of the elevator. ¡°Let¡¯s go ba. Give them the room card and they¡¯ll do the rest.¡± ¡°Wait.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s hands were empty, with no sign of a room card in them. He went to the front desk and said, ¡°Add another day to Room 2311.¡± The front desk receptionist was stunned but hastily nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± When Mo Nancheng heard this, he was surprised at first, but then pulled the man aside to quietly ask, ¡°¡­ What¡¯s going on? You tossed that person around until they couldn¡¯t even get up this morning?¡± It took Yi Chen a moment to understand what Mo Nancheng¡¯s ¡°tossed around¡± meant. He replied, ¡°I said it before, he¡¯s just a friend.¡± Yi Ran came up and asked, ¡°What friend ah? Ge, why did you renew your room, are you staying another day? That¡¯s great, I¡¯m also very sleepy. Anyway, as there are exactly two bedrooms, you can let me freeload in one ba.¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m leaving soon.¡± Having said that, Yi Chen went back to the front desk. ¡°Deliver Chinese cuisine for lunch and dinner as scheduled. Ring the doorbell twice, if no one answers, just leave it.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°Send them a new set of bathrobes and towels.¡± Everything in a hotel was dirty, so each time they checked into one, they would directly ask the hotel for brand new items. ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t forget the fruit and dessert after the meals.¡± ¡°¡­ Alright.¡± Listening to this conversation as it went on for a while caused Yi Ran to feel more awake. He asked, ¡°Cheng Ge, what the fuck¡­ What¡¯s going on ah?¡± Mo Nancheng clicked his tongue and said, ¡°What else could it be? There¡¯s still someone sleeping in that room bei.¡± Yi Ran adamantly refused. ¡°Impossible.¡± ¡°I rarely deceive you.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yi Ran was shocked. ¡°Is this honestly true? Did you personally see it?¡± Mo Nancheng replied, ¡°I didn¡¯t personally see it, but I heard it.¡± Heard it? This hotel¡¯s soundproofing was so awesome, and yet you could still hear it?? It was still too early in the morning for Yi Ran to have so many bombs dropped onto his brain. He didn¡¯t know which matter to be surprised about first. ¡°Did you recognize that person?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t recognize them.¡± Mo Nancheng said, ¡°Last night, didn¡¯t he go back into the nightclub ma? It¡¯s most likely someone that he brought back from there.¡± ¡°No way ba. How could my Ge know someone in this tiny city¡¯s nightclub¡­¡± Yi Ran had only spoken half of the words he wanted to say before he came to aplete halt. ¡­ Hold on. Fuck, there really was someone. ¡ª¡ª Yu Yan never thought that there would be a day when he was woken up by his own stench. This specific situation urred because he had turned over while he was sleeping, and had then stuffed his face into the bed. The smell of alcohol on his body had umted throughout the night, and by this point, it could be regarded as a biohazard. Fortunately for him, this time, his survival instinct acted up and led him to instantly sit up, along with practically sobering him up right away. He had been awake for only two seconds, before he sank into a dumbfounded state again. There were only three questions in his mind¡ªWho am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to be doing? It took him about ten seconds to solve the first question. He had a terrible headache. He lifted his quilt, stood up, and surveyed his surroundings again. He had gone to the ssmate reunion yesterday, quarreled with Li Hang, and then drank with his ssmates. ¡­ And then what? When the doorbell rang, he stopped thinking and opened the door first. An attendant stood outside with a serving cart on hand. It had an exquisite meal on top of it. ¡°Good afternoon, your lunch has arrived.¡± Yu Yan stared at the serving cart for a few seconds, feeling extremely distressed. As he thought about it, he could figure out what had happened. He had probably been drunk and confusedst night and his ssmates hadn¡¯t known his address, so they had just moved him to a hotel. Bringing the serving cart in, he sat on the sofa and looked around the room again, bing more and more sure¡ª¡ª It must¡¯ve been Li Hang who had brought him back. Apart from Li Hang, he couldn¡¯t think of anyone else who hated him so much that they would send him to a hotel where a room was worth at least four figures a night. He walked back to the bedroom and found his cellphone on the bed. As soon as he looked at it, he fell into a daze¡ª¡ª The whole screen was crammed with notifications and missed calls, right beside the shining line of numbers: 12:03. !!! He had just thought something felt wrong, and now he remembered, the attendant had said ¡°lunch¡± instead of ¡°breakfast¡±¡­ He quickly opened his stream. Sure enough, there were loads of lines floating in the barrage. [It¡¯s 12 o¡¯clock. The flowers on my windowsill have all wilted, and the person I¡¯m waiting for still hasn¡¯t arrived.] [The anchor became just a little famous and then drifted away. How punctual he used to be ah. These past few days, he¡¯s been asking for leave every other day. I¡¯m going to watch someone else¡¯s stream.] [Holy crap! He¡¯s here, he¡¯s here! The anchor just entered the stream¡ª] Yu Yan sent out an apology to the barrage. Then, he changed the stream¡¯s name to [Will start streaming at 3pm. Sending out a red envelope as an apology¡­] and went to Weibo to request for leave before calling Lu Xiuhe back. ¡°Holy crap bro, I thought that you had gone missing!¡± Lu Xiuhe was extremely agitated. ¡°¡­ I¡¯m fine.¡± Yu Yan went into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and adjusted the water temperature. ¡°Had a ssmate reunion yesterday and drank too much.¡± ¡°Where are you now? Do you know what happened yesterday?¡± Yu Yan froze. ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just, an anchor went to reportoshu using his real name.¡± ¡°¡­ Report what?¡± ¡°Report that he bought a water army to inte his poprity. He also reported the fact thatoshu found people to specifically go after and nder other anchors!¡± Yu Yan was calm. ¡°That matter ah¡­¡± ¡°Why aren¡¯t you surprised?¡± ¡°I had already guessed it a while ago.¡± Yu Yan tested the water temperature. ¡°Let¡¯s talk when I get back ba. I¡¯m going to take a bath first.¡± He hung up the call and opened WeChat, wanting to ask about the situationst night, but saw a group chat notification on the screen. He opened it. There was a line of white text¡ª¡ª [You have been removed from the group chat by Li Hang LH] ¡°¡­¡± They were all adults already. How could this person be so childish? His heart didn¡¯t get stirred at all. He found Li Hang¡¯s profile on WeChat and tried the red envelope system. Sure enough, although the other side had kicked him out of the group chat, he hadn¡¯t cklisted him. If he had to say why he had never deleted Li Hang¡­ it was probably because he was afraid he wouldn¡¯t be able to look at his Moments anymore ba. Yu Yan used Li Hang¡¯s Moments to vicariously travel around almost every holiday. Today was a sports car, tomorrow was a party; it was as happy as could be. Now though, he directly and efficiently cklisted the other party. Afterwards, he scrolled through his contact list and found his former dorm monitor¡¯s WeChat. Yu Yan: Dorm monitor, I was drunk yesterday. I¡¯m sorry to have troubled all of you. Who sent me to the hotel? How much was payment? I¡¯ll transfer the money to whoever paid. After sending this sentence, he put his cellphone aside and entered the luxurious bathroom to take a bath. Since the money had already been spent, he could only lie back and enjoy it. After the bath, he picked up his cellphone and nced at it. Dorm Monitor: It¡¯s okay, it was my fault. If I had known earlier that you couldn¡¯t drink much, I wouldn¡¯t have tried to force so many drinks down your throat. You¡¯re not feeling ill ba? Dorm Monitor: It was your friend who sent you backst night ah. Yu Yan rubbed his hair using the bath towel and dried the water dripping from it. He then replied: Which friend? Dorm Monitor: The person you stickied to the top of your WeChat. Oh. The person he had stickied to the top of his WeChat. Who had he stickied to the top of his WeChat? Yu Yan closed the chat and looked up. The profile picture of the full moon in the dark night quietly stared back at him. Theirst conversation had been at 10:14 p.m.st night. He solidified his original stance. It took a while before he replied: Impossible. Dorm Monitor: What? It was the person you have stickied to the top of your WeChat; Weizi looked at your cellphone with his own eyes. That man said that you guys had agreed for him to pick you up before, so we let him take you away. Yu Yan: ¡­. The bath towel slipped from his head. He remained stunned for a long time before he could close the chat box he was using to talk with the former dorm monitor. It was 1 who had brought him to the hotel? No way, 1 didn¡¯t live in Manyang¡ª¡ª But 1 was on a business trip. ¡­. Inside his heart, Yu Yan felt like some kind of dimensional wall was being chipped away, little by little, at the speed of a tortoise. He opened his chat with 1. He found that almost all of the most recent messages were sent by the other side. 1: Nightclubs are messy, go back earlier. 1: Did you go back? 1: . He experienced inner turmoil for a long time after realising what had actually happened, and couldn¡¯t help but raise his hand to lightly smack his head. Hurry up and remember something ah!! Unexpectedly, he really did manage to knock a few memories back. He seemed to have vomitedst night. He had been holding onto the toilet, with a bad appearance, changed beyond recognition. But, he still couldn¡¯t recollect any impression of the person beside him. Calm down, calm down first. How could such a coincidence happen in this world? 1¡¯s business trip just happened to be in Manyang. In the evening, he just happened to go to that nightclub to rx. Lastly, he just happened to run into his drunk self? Not only that, when he left, his ssmates must¡¯ve also been intoxicated. Maybe they were being rowdy¡ªlike whose chat was stickied on top. And then, when they got up this morning, they remembered it wrong? Yu Yanforted himself in this way in his heart, finished his lunch while trembling with fear, and hurried downstairs to check out before the 2:00 p.m. check-out time. ¡°Hello sir, your room has already been fully paid for.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Can I ask who paid?¡± The receptionist shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I wasn¡¯t on duty this morning. I¡¯m not sure.¡± ¡°Then, the person¡¯s ID card who checked in¡­ Can you tell me the name on it?¡± ¡°Sorry. We have to maintain confidentiality on all our guests.¡± The front desk¡¯s receptionist clicked on theputer. ¡°Sir, your room also has dessert, dinner, and our hotel¡¯s spa reserved. If you check out now, we won¡¯t refund these items.¡± ¡°¡­¡± In the taxi, Yu Yan¡¯s expression was grave. He held his cellphone in his hand and could feel his pulse pound loudly within his palm. After a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind and opened the cellphone¡¯s chat box¡ª¡ª On the other side, Yi Chen held the little anchor¡¯s personal files in his hands. This was actually the first time he had ever looked up an employee file for personal reasons. The person in this 1-inch photo looked a little more immature than he was now. There were two words beside it: Yu Yan. It was no wonder why every time they talked about Yanyan, the little anchor would blush and let his eyes unconsciously drift away. The little anchor liked him. Yi Chen kneaded the space between his eyebrows as he experienced a rare feeling of remorse. At that time, he had just randomly picked this name for the cat. Unexpectedly, he had inadvertently teased the little anchor. In addition, he really had said some things too casually online. He was very appreciative of the little anchor. This person was cute, hardworking, strived hard, good tempered, and had a bottom line. During his spare time, he was very much willing to contact such people, those who made him feel rxed and at ease¡ªhe really liked this kind of friend. It was a pity. From a young age, he had had many admirers, both men and women. The way that he refused them was very simple: he distanced himself. As long as he ignored them, it was fine. Once the other party grew tired, they would naturally give up. Yi Chen thought of this and then neatly put the file into the cab. Two minutester, his phone dinged. Little Anchor: 1¡­ Where are you now? Yi Chen¡¯s heart jumped, but he recovered within a second and then replied with his current location¡ª¡ª Little Anchor: Oh oh, I¡¯m sorry. I drank too muchst night, so I didn¡¯t reply to you¡­. When did you return to Jincheng ah? 1: Last night. Little Anchor: !!! Really? 1: En, what¡¯s the matter? Little Anchor: My friend told me that you were the one who sent me back to the hotelst night. That scared me to death¡­ It must¡¯ve been that they were also drunk and remembered wrong¡­ Sending you a message midday, I didn¡¯t disturb you ba? ¡°¡­¡± 1: No. 1: You just said you drank too much? Are you better now? Little Anchor: I¡¯m alright. My head just hurts. I should be fine if I rest tonight. Yi Chen calmly andposedly found and sent the several articles that he had just bookmarked. 1: [WeChat article: What¡¯s best to eat the next day after a hangover?] 1: [WeChat article: This heinous ¡°drinking culture¡±!] 1: [WeChat article: Shocking! It¡¯s a matter of life and death¡ªthese two kinds of alcohol must never be mixed together!!] ¡ª The author has something to say: Chen: Just distancing myself is good. ¡ª Juurensha: ¡­this counts as distancing, Boss Yi? You still seem to care a lot. Divi: What a caring, distant friend. Your lie is gonnae out soon anyway, there were so many eyewitnesses¡­ They can¡¯t all be drunk. Noks: Both of them are in ¡®denial¡¯nd¡­ how long will theyst there though? Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! Chapter 43 - Achievement Unlocked Chapter 43 - Achievement Unlocked Edited by Divetus and Noks Yu Yan breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Fortunately, 1 hadn¡¯t seen the spectacle of him hugging the toilet and throwing up. When he thought of this, he couldn¡¯t help being stunned again. ¡­ He actually wasn¡¯t a person who paid special attention to his image, ah? If it wasn¡¯t 1, then who had brought him to the hotel? And had even paid for everything. Even after thinking about it for a long time, he still had no fruitful conclusions. He had also been kicked out of the ss group chat, so he couldn¡¯t ask them. He pondered for a bit before running to his Moments to make a rare post. [Who sent me back to the hotelst night? Private message me, thank you!] As he was returning home, he saw the several WeChat articles that 1 had sent. Inevitably, he had the illusion that he was talking with Yu Minyang. He couldn¡¯t resist and replied with several hahahahas. 1: What are youughing at? Yu Yan: You sending me those articles; it just made me feel particrly disturbed. 1: ¡­ I¡¯ve read through all of them. All the methods are very useful. You can try them out if you feel ufortable. He didn¡¯t know why, but he just felt like 1 was replying much slower than usual. Maybe he had started to work ba. Yu Yan replied with an ¡°okay¡± just as the car suddenly stopped. The taxi driver turned around and said, ¡°Here you are, young man.¡± Yu Yan paid the fare, got out of the taxi, and then bought some hot and sour rice noodles before going upstairs. The hotel¡¯s food being expensive made sense, but the portion they served wasn¡¯t enough, and the taste of the food wasn¡¯t as good as these 12 yuan rice noodles from the store downstairs. It was already 2:30 p.m. by the time he returned home. He turned on theputer but didn¡¯t hurry to start streaming; instead, he opened his Weibo first. His previous post of asking for leave had gained over 200ments already. He ate his rice noodles, read the messages one by one, and picked out a few to reply to. When it was 2:45 p.m, he tested his livestream equipment to make sure it worked, and was just about to start his stream when his QQ rang. Tuantuan: Coming, little bro? Yu Yan: ¡­ Coming. Tuantuan: You only arrive when the livestream topics are blowing up on Weibo and Tieba. How much drama you¡¯ve missed ya. Yu Yan: Stuff aboutoshu? Tuantuan: How could he cause things to blow up with just his ability? There¡¯s a new anchor named Hudy, have you heard of him ba? Yu Yan replied that he knew of him. This Hudy was also a new person who had joined through the anchor sponsorship program; he had average numbers. When they had first started streaming, in terms of poprity, he hadn¡¯t even been able to catch up to Yu Yan, let aloneoshu who sent out red envelopes everyday. Tuantuan: In fact, Hudy was a small anchor that Sheepy recruited and was specially nurtured to take part in this anchorpetition. But this man, Sheepy ba, is rtively more upright and honest; he¡¯s not dirty like banana. He let Hudypete using his own ability bei. As a result, Hudy recently found some people to investigate several of the IP addresses of the antis who were hanging around his stream. He found out that they were all ranked star donors fromoshu¡¯s livestream. As he continued the investigation, he excavated all of the dirty things thatoshu had done, and also found some of banana¡¯s and a few other anchors¡¯ secrets¡­ Now, it has already be a battle between all the big StarTV anchors. Sheepy was another popr PUBG anchor. Yu Yan nced over Tuantuan¡¯s words and understood the whole situation. Yu Yan: Has the tform gotten involved? Since even real names had been reported, the StarTV staff would definitely step in to deal with the situation. Tuan Tuan: It¡¯s only been a night; the tform doesn¡¯t respond that quickly. The staff also probably couldn¡¯t have imagined that these two things would suddenly tear into each other ba. When you livestream, remember to be careful. Before the tform releases a notice, don¡¯t carelessly say anything to avoid being dragged into the issue. Yu Yan replied with an ¡°okay¡± and directly started his livestream. It was very reasonable for Tuantuan to specifically contact him to warn him. As soon as his livestream started, the names of the other anchors floated into the barrage. oshu has fallen,oshu has fallen. This is to everyone¡¯s satisfaction!!] [I watched the entire incidentst night, and I reasonably suspect that Xiao Yan was also one of the victims rted to it!] [Are you guys crazy? How is it rted to this anchor? Not only that, the tform hasn¡¯t even announced anything yet. Troubling this vacationing anchor to not piggyback off this situation to get popr, okay?] [Hahahahaha vacationing anchor, I screamed. See, if you don¡¯t diligently livestream, you¡¯ll get called out by antis ba.] ¡°I¡¯ve withered away.¡± Yu Yanughed andunched PUBG. ¡°I¡¯m sorry that I¡¯mte today, but there was an unavoidable reason for it. At 3:15 p.m, I¡¯ll start to draw prizes. I¡¯ll draw them in batches, five 100 yuan red envelopes during each batch. It¡¯s a bit poor, hope you guys don¡¯t mind.¡± [What was the unavoidable reason?] ¡°I overslept,¡± Yu Yan replied honestly. [?] [OK. You¡¯re good-looking, you can do whatever you like. In this case, I¡¯m not fucking willing to scold you.] [Everyone, let¡¯s not go too overboard ba. Before this, Xiao Yan streamed for 12 hours a day. That really uses up a lot of energy. Now, he only took three vacation days¡ªyou already took three vacation days this month?!!] Yu Yan had already be highly skilled at holding back after he started livestreaming. No matter how much the barrageughed at him, he looked as light as a cloud. He directly queued up for a solo match. As he entered Manners za, he also opened one of the WeChat articles that 1 had sent him. Following the rmendations stated in the article, he went onto Meituan to buy a mung bean dessert. In his first match, he directly jumped to the boxing gym and quickly looked around after hended. The floor waspletely bereft, without even a pistol in sight. He took a few more steps. A quick glimpse made it apparent; surprisingly, there were no guns on this floor. [Can¡¯t find a gun in the boxing gym??] [Too unlucky ba. Should just uninstall the game.] Yu Yan was also somewhat surprised. The boxing gym was a very fat loot area in Miramar. It made no sense that the entire floor didn¡¯t have a single gun. ¡°No, something¡¯s wrong.¡± After two steps, he saw enemies who were also unarmed. He said, ¡°I haven¡¯t heard a single gunshot.¡± He bent over to pick up the crossbow on the ground and loaded it with a bolt. He crouched somewhere else and finally confirmed. ¡°This match loaded with a bug. Looks like this match¡­ has no guns.¡± The barrage immediately spammed a bunch of question marks, but Yu Yan was calm. This wasn¡¯t the first time he had encountered this kind of situation; PUBG had too many bugs. Once, he had even gotten a match where only cars had spawned. ¡°I¡¯ll show you guys some godly crossbow gamey.¡± Yu Yan directly started a quiz game. [Can get 5 kills] vs. [Can¡¯t get 5 kills] The quiz game interface popped up, and the barrage grew more lively. [5 kills with bolts? Is the anchor toxic lololol.] [I bet that you can. If there are no guns, crossbows are the most powerful weapon. Bros, bet with me!] [Everyone don¡¯t be fooled. That person must be a StarTV staff member! Crossbows are very hard to use, and bolts are limited. If the anchor can get out of the boxing gym alive, that¡¯s already good. I¡¯m betting that he can¡¯t get 5 kills!] With just a nce, Yu Yan saw a line of small white characters appear in the barrage assistant among the numerous other barrage messages. [1 has entered the livestream.] [Boss 1 is here!] [Is the anchor going to y squads with the boss after this match? Are you short on teammates? Specifically, the undergraduate type?] Yu Yan said, ¡°1¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, another message popped into the barrage. [1 has left the livestream.] ¡°?¡± He shut up and continued ying. The only thing that had spawned in the boxing gym was that crossbow that Yu Yan had picked up. He shot two arrows and directly knocked down the enemy closest to him. Then, he crouched down and finished him off with his fists. [1 has entered the livestream.] Yu Yan watched the barrage assistant for a few seconds. As expected, that text was closely followed by another line¡ª¡ª [1 has left the livestream.] ¡°¡­.¡± [??? What¡¯s happening? At this rate, myputer is going to freeze from Boss¡¯ entrance animation.] [What, is this your guys¡¯ kink or something?] [In order to attract the anchor¡¯s attention, Boss will really go to any length. It¡¯s too sweet!] Yu Yan looted the medicine from the enemy¡¯s box and thought, ¡°Maybe his inte isgging?¡± [1 has entered the livestream.] StarTV didn¡¯t have a system notification for ordinary viewers and stream followers entering or exiting a livestream. Only bosses who had gifted more than 2000 yuan to a stream would receive such treatment. The stream viewers could only see this system notification of him entering and exiting the stream, unaware of that person¡¯s inner turmoil. Yi Chen opened the stream again. He hovered his mouse cursor over the red X for a long time, but in the end, abandoned the thought of leaving. He directly maximized the livestream window to full screen and continued to flip through the file in front of him. He was onlying to watch the livestream; he wasn¡¯t going tomunicate or y any matches. Doing just this wouldn¡¯t impact anything. As he thought about this, he nced up to look at the person on the screen. There were no signs of fatigue from a hangover, but his eyes were a bit swollen. His inner double eyelids had temporarily be monolids, making him seem less gentle and more imposing than usual. It was not like yesterday¡ªwhere his eyes had been half narrowed, his cheeks and ears both red, and his whole appearance just looked too soft to be aggressive. Many of the female viewers couldn¡¯t help spamming him with gifts. Yi Chen looked at the gifter list in the lower left corner of the screen, gently rubbed his index finger against the file he was holding for a while, and then finally withdrew his gaze from the screen. Yu Yan punched the person who had been knocked down to death, and quickly threw a nce at the barrage before asking, ¡°No one went all in with their beans?¡± ¡°No one believes in me?¡± ¡°Believe, I believe!¡± A voice rang out from the livestream chat. ¡°I believe in you, Xiao Yan. I went all in for the five kills bet. Go ah!¡± Yi Ran couldn¡¯t help but make an uproar when he entered the livestream. Since 1 had also spoken in the livestream chat previously, no one was surprised by this situation. ¡°You actually went all in?¡± Yu Yan was stunned. ¡°Man, I was just joking.¡± ¡°I really went all in. I bet all of the 20,000 beans I¡¯ve saved this month.¡± Yi Ran wanted to cotton up to Yu Yan. This way, it¡¯d be easier to interrogate himter without needing to cover up anything. ¡°You¡¯re my male god; I¡¯ll definitely believe in you.¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°¡­ I¡¯ll try my best.¡± Because no guns had spawned in this match, many yers had already directly quit the match. After he killed two people, the entire boxing gym was empty. There were also only 31 people left in the game. At this moment, the quiz game¡¯s bet bar at the bottom of the screen suddenly changed¡ª¡ª [Can get 5 kills] originally had only 30,000 starlight beans. This was an entire 4 million beans less than the [Can¡¯t get 5 kills] side. But in a sh, the bar dramatically surged and the [Can get 5 kills] directly became 5.7 million beans. [???] [Which boss ced such a heavy bet? Holy fuck.] [Someone bet over 5 million beans at once?? I¡¯ve been on StarTV for so long but I haven¡¯t seen anyone who had so many beans. You can¡¯t buy beans, so how many years would you have to save to reach that amount ah?] [Could it be Boss 1? I heard that the system will give you a lot of starlight beans when you be a guardian tier gifter on the tform.] [Holy shit. I¡¯m going to follow this mysterious boss. He¡¯s trying to make a fucking name for himself!] Yu Yan ran out of crossbow bolts, so he used a machete to fight his enemies for a while. Atst, he won the battle just as he was on hisst sliver of health. Heid t on the grass as he looted and casually nced at the barrage. As soon as he looked, he became shocked. ¡°¡­ Was this you guys?¡± [Not us! It was Boss 1!!] [It seems that a mysterious boss directly smashed in 5 million beans¡­] Yu Yan quickly turned on his cellphone. Yu Yan: Did you bet all those beans? 1: I¡¯m at work. Those words were an implicit denial. Yu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that there was probably a bug in the livestream. 5 million beans ah, you could y a lot of quiz games with that. Besides, his livestream¡¯s level was low, so his quiz game¡¯s return rate wasn¡¯t high. No one would be willing to bet so much here. With this in mind, his heart slightly calmed down. He went back to the game and continued killing enemies. Ten minutester, he smashed the fifth enemy¡¯s head with a frying pan, sessfully killing five people. Heughed and said, ¡°I told you, you guys should¡¯ve believed in me¡ª¡± Before he finished speaking, a transparent livestream announcement floated overhead. [New Achievement Unlocked Announcement¡ª¡ª Congrattions to ¡°1¡± for throwing 5.2 million starlight beans to participate in yanxyan¡¯s livestream¡¯s quiz game and winning.

Chapter 44 - Nearly died on the toilet Chapter 44 - Nearly died on the toilet Edited by Divetus and Noks StarTV¡¯s livestream achievement system had always existed. When it was firstunched, it triggered a boom of activity. Many stream followers went to send gifts and hang out in streams for a long time, so that based on the achievement requirements, they could then unlock hundreds of steam achievements. Later on, there were fewer and fewer achievements that could be unlocked. Thetest achievement was released half a year ago. It was called ¡°Quickly Call 120¡±, and the requirement was¡ªthat you stayed in a stream for 720 consecutive hours. The description for unlocking this achievement was: Quickly call 120! Thisputer is about to explode! This achievement had immediately be the new amusing livestream thing, and its poprity had only died down. [5.2 million?? Where did a new ount like 1¡¯s get so many beans? My friend is a guardian in other livestreams and has spent over nearly 100,000 yuan, but the system only sent him a little over 60,000 beans.] [Where the beans came from isn¡¯t important, it¡¯s the number that matters!! Look beyond the surface to see the truth ah, sisters!] [This stream¡¯s quiz game payout is only 0.6. The big anchor¡¯s streams can reach a payout of 1.3, which is more than double the rate here ah.] [Song request: More Than I Can Say] Yi Chen looked at the achievement description in front of him. ¡°Risk everything in a single throw¡ªI believe in you.¡± The densely packed barrage text passed in front of his eyes. As he rubbed his temples, there was a knock on the door. He said, ¡°Come in.¡± His secretary pushed the door open and entered, followed by the division manager of the StarTV division. ¡°President Yi.¡± The division manager held a document and seemed nervous. ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen paused and suddenly asked, ¡°Who proposed the tform¡¯s achievement system?¡± The division manager immediately responded, ¡°It was me. President Yi, this¡­ Is something wrong?¡± ¡°¡­ It¡¯s nothing.¡± Yi Chen asked, ¡°Did you bring all the information?¡± ¡°Yes. These are the lists of names that wepiled after holding several meetings.¡± After the division manager replied, he suddenly heard a faint gunshot sounding from the earphones beside theputer. He was dumbfounded and reflexively nced to the side. He managed to see the tform¡¯s livestream webpage before theputer screen turned ck. Indeed it was true. The tform administrators had recently let him know that the livestream ount given to the managingpany boss was actively being used. Yi Chen turned off theputer screen, took over the documents, flipped through them, and frowned. ¡°Why are they all celebrity performers?¡± He was holding the annual StarTV g ns in his hand. ¡°Doing it this way brings in more traffic.¡± The division manager continued, ¡°We¡¯ve done it like this for the past few years and received a very high viewership. If we cooperate with the marketing department¡­¡± Yi Chen only flipped through two pages before directly closing the file. He threw it down and interrupted the division manager, ¡°So in the past few years, the g¡¯s main topic was the celebrities while the tform¡¯s anchors didn¡¯t get any attention.¡± ¡°It¡¯s our mistake.¡± The division manager became tense and said, ¡°Then, your idea is¡­¡± ¡°My idea?¡± Yi Chen raised an eyebrow. ¡°Since everything will just go ording to my idea, what am I paying you for?¡± The division manager broke out in a cold sweat. Although the StarTV tform was one of the best in its industry, its profits weren¡¯t even worth mentioning whenpared to the managingpany¡¯s profits. The division manager reported the tform¡¯s situation every month, and the big boss was typically perfunctory, responding with just nods or hums; he rarelymunicated anything more. The division manager hadn¡¯t expected for the e-sports industry¡¯s poprity to suddenly explode during this period of time. The profits in the third and fourth quarter ofst year had visibly soared, and the tform finally attracted the attention of the boss. At the same time, he finally experienced the ¡°death aura¡± that the other department employees had mentioned. ¡°I-I¡¯ll go back and fix it right away.¡± Yi Chen asked, ¡°When will it be handed in?¡± The division manager thought about it and very carefully asked, ¡°Half a month?¡± After redrafting the list, they would also need to ensure that those people on the list could attend. They couldn¡¯t make any mistakes. ¡°A week.¡± ¡°¡­¡± You cut the timeframe by so much. When he didn¡¯t receive an answer, Yi Chen raised his eyes and asked, ¡°Is it possible?¡± ¡°It¡¯s possible.¡± The division manager clenched his teeth. It was just some fucking overtime. He suspected that he would be fired on the spot if he didn¡¯t agree. ¡°I¡¯ll give you the redrafted documents in a week.¡± Yi Chen waited for the division manager to leave before he turned theputer screen on again. The match had just recently ended and the livestream page was showing the lobby interface. Yi Ran had appeared in the game¡¯s lobby. ¡°My Ge still hasn¡¯t replied to you?¡± Yi Ran asked. Yu Yan let out an ¡°en¡± sound. ¡°Then let¡¯s just start ba. We can just y with the two of us. By the way, where¡¯s your friend?¡± When he realized that the other party was talking about Lu Xiuhe, Yu Yan answered, ¡°He has been ying another game recently.¡± As the little anchor spoke, he kept looking down at his cellphone. Yi Chen picked up his cellphone and nced at it. Little Anchor: ¡­ Little Anchor: It¡¯s fortunate that I won, otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t even be able to use my life topensate you for those 5 million starlight beans. Little Anchor: But aren¡¯t you at work? Little Anchor: Do you want to y? ¡°¡­¡± 1: En, I¡¯m at work. Just randomly ying with the beans. On his screen, the eyes of the person who had just been pursing his lips and peeking at his cellphone suddenly brightened. He took advantage of the match¡¯s loading time and picked up his cellphone, holding it in front of his eyes for a while. Little Anchor: Next time, you should go y the quiz game in a bigger anchor¡¯s stream ba. The payout there will be higher, since the highest payout rate in my livestream is only 0.6. Also, you bet too much; small bets are fun but big bets are harmful! Yi Chen saw the message andughed; he was talking as though it was a real bet. He had 10 million starlight beans on his ount that had been loaded onto it at some unknown time. Originally, he had only wanted to bet 5 million beans, but then a system prompt had unexpectedly popped up at that time. He had clicked yes on the prompt without looking at it carefully. Now that he thought about it, making the bet the number 520 was probably the work of the achievement system. A system prompt would only pop up if the number being bet was close to a hidden achievement trigger. There was a knock on the door again and the secretary came in, softly saying, ¡°President Yi, the meeting will start in five minutes. The rest of the staff have already arrived.¡± ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen gathered up his thoughts, turned off theputer, and left the office. ¡ª¡ª Yu Yan pulled himself together, only to find that he had already flown past his teammate¡¯s markednding point. ¡°Xiao Yan? Why aren¡¯t you saying anything?¡± Yi Ran yelled in the voice channel. ¡°Sorry, I was just looking at my phone.¡± He quickly jumped out of the ne. ¡°It¡¯s okay, there aren¡¯t many people where younded. I¡¯ll go to the fields and get a gun before heading over.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Yi Ran minimized PUBG, made sure that his Ge was no longer in the stream, and then softly coughed. Finally, he had found an opportunity to ask about the matter that was eating away at him. ¡°Oh yeah, I heard that you asked for leavest night?¡± Yu Yan nodded. ¡°En.¡± ¡°Did something happen?¡± Although Yu Yan felt that the Yi Ran¡¯s concern was somewhat baffling, he didn¡¯t pay too much attention to it. He replied, ¡°I went to a ssmate reunion.¡± Yi Ran asked, ¡°Where did you guys go?¡± He tried to make his tone as casual as possible, but it was still hard to try to mask his gossipy intentions. Yu Yan replied, ¡°¡­ Went to a nightclub, why?¡± Sure enough! The person he saw yesterday was Xiao Yan! Yi Ran continued, ¡°Then, why did you ask for leave this morning as well?¡± Yu Yan finished searching the fields and turned to run to his teammate¡¯s position. Since they were on this topic, he simply used it to exin the reason to his viewers too. ¡°Drank too much, slept very deeply, and the rm couldn¡¯t wake me up. I also slept somewhere else, so it took me some time to get home.¡± Yi Ran was almost certain¡ªthe person in his Ge¡¯s roomst night was definitely Xiao Yan! At this very moment, the Yi family¡¯s biggest piece of gossip hase into the world with a bang! As if he had discovered treasure, Yi Ran excitedly asked, ¡°Then, when you got up this morning, did you feel¡­ ufortable anywhere ah?¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t notice his tone and replied, ¡°Very ufortable; my entire body felt unwell.¡± Yi Ran: ¡°!¡± Yu Yan sighed, ¡°I couldn¡¯t even wear my clothes anymore.¡± His clothes were covered in wine stains and reeked of alcohol. He had just thrown them away. Yi Ran: ¡°!!!¡± When he remembered the scene of him hugging the toilet bowl, Yu Yan added, ¡°And, I nearly died on the toilet.¡± Yi Ran: ¡°¡­ !!!!!¡± ¡ª A weekter, the StarTV administration finally responded to the oshu ndering others¡¯ incident. [StarTV¡¯s Official Blog: Hello everyone, we have arrived at the following conclusions for the recent events after an investigation: 1. It has been verified that anchors banana andoshu have not ndered other anchors in any way. 2. The tform will eliminate any activities of paid poprity. 3. The anchors banana, Sheepy,oshu, and Hudy will continue to participate in the anchorpetition being held by this tform. We hope that all stream followers will greatly support them. 4. Mutual attacks between anchors are thest thing that this tform wants to see. In the future, we will have better management over these types of things. We apologize for the inconvenience and trouble caused by this event.] Yu Yan was getting ready to go to bed when he scrolled through the Weibo post, but after reading through it, half of his sleepiness immediately went away. He took a screenshot and sent it to Tuantuan. Just after sending it, a voice message popped up. [Tuantuan has invited you to join the ¡°1YanTang¡± voice group chat] ¡°¡­¡± He clicked to ept, and his phone immediately switched to the voice chat interface. ¡°I¡¯m definitely convinced now.¡± As soon as he joined, he heard Lulu talking. ¡°How much money did banana stuff into the administrators¡¯ hands? To bepletely washed clean? Who dares to believe what the StarTV staff say in the future ah? ¡­ Xiao Yan, are you here?¡± ¡°En.¡± He said, ¡°Go on, I won¡¯t disturb you.¡± ¡°banana is the strongest PUBG anchorpetitor. The section administrator wants to push him up to snatch the limelight from that LoL anchor, so naturally, he has to protect him.¡± Tuantuan asked, ¡°Sheepy, what are you nning to do now?¡± ¡°What else can I do?¡± A male voice appeared. ¡°The Weibo announcement has already been posted, so that clinches it ba. Ugh, I don¡¯t even dare to livestream tonight. I¡¯m guessing that all of the stream followers wille to mock me.¡± Lulu said, ¡°And, I¡¯ve been informed that this year¡¯s best anchor of the year has already been decided behind closed doors. It¡¯s banana.¡± ¡°Is that actually true?¡± Tuantuan said angrily, ¡°No wonder his rank had suddenly risen. No, isn¡¯t this just the tform treating us small anchors as nothing ah? Then, what do all of the gifts that my fans tossed to me for the award count for?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t do anything about it, banana has fooled the masses.¡± Sheepy sighed, ¡°It could also count as me overestimating myself. I just had to go up and fight against him. Think about the several anchors who previously fought with him. Which one of them won against him?¡± When he mentioned this, the voice channel suddenly became silent for a few seconds. ¡°¡­ Hey, wait.¡± Lulu sounded hesitant. ¡°Now that you mentioned it, there is someone.¡± Sheepy asked, ¡°Who?¡± Lulu replied, ¡°Xiao Yan ah!¡± Yu Yan, who had nearly fallen asleep while listening: ¡°¡­?¡± ¡°Yes! Your notice!¡± Tuantuan pped her thigh. ¡°When banana implied that you were livestreaming while running a cheat software, the administrator went and hung up a notice¡ªeven until now, only your livestream has ever had that notice!¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Yi Ran: ¡­.Ge, you beast!

Chapter 45 - The game is almost done Chapter 45 - The game is almost done Edited by Divetus and Noks If they hadn¡¯t mentioned it, Yu Yan would have almost forgotten about the notice. He didn¡¯t expect it to be brought up again. Yu Yan said, ¡°But¡­¡± Lulu cheered up. ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right! At that time, banana¡¯s face looked terrible hahaha. He still stubbornly refused to admit his mistake. He said that he didn¡¯t exactly state that Yu Yan was botting and told stream followers to not spread gossip about him. Watching that happen back then, I can¡¯t even begin to tell you how refreshing I found it. I wanted to run over and spam Yu Yan with meteor showers!¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°No need¡­¡± Tuantuan interrupted, ¡°So that¡¯s to say, Administrator 03 still lurks in Xiao Yan¡¯s stream every day?¡± Yu Yan tried to say, ¡°I¡¯m not¡­¡± ¡°Yes. He even personally takes action to ban people!¡± Lulu had the final say. ¡°Xiao Yan¡¯s backstage supporter is awesome ya!¡± Yu Yan interjected, ¡°I don¡¯t have¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯re not looking down on you.¡± Tuantuan said, ¡°This is such a big advantage ah! I¡¯ll properly fawn upon you now, so, in the future, you must protect me if someone tries to mess with me.¡± Yu Yan was speechless and wanted to tearlessly cry. After they stopped talking, Sheepy also sent him a friend request. Yu Yan stared at the request for a long time, not knowing whether to ept or reject it. He was afraid that the other party also thought that he had some backstage supporter, and had specifically run over to beg him for help¡­ Wouldn¡¯t that be really awkward? Fortunately, after Yu Yan epted his friend request, the other party just said hello to him and didn¡¯t say anything more. He exited QQ and switched back to Weibo to look at the post. There were basically two groups under the official StarTV Weibo: one group consisted of banana fans, who were constantly taunting others with their chins pointed nearly at the sky; the other group was shouting ¡°StarTV is a bottomless pit of corruption¡±, meaning that they firmly weren¡¯t convinced with StarTV¡¯s response and wanted the tform to show evidence from the inspection. The two sides were even for now. As for the attitude of StarTV¡¯s administration¡ªit didn¡¯t look like they were going to spend any more effort on this matter. Yu Yan sighed. If it was as Sheepy had said¡ªthat banana had fooled the masses, had a backstage supporter, and had already been designated to win the Best Anchor of the Year award behind the scenes¡­ thenoshu was probably also the same. Then, his anchor sponsorship program and the Kills King of the Year award were also bottomless pits of corruption. Although he didn¡¯t have much hope to begin with, he still felt very ufortable having this piece of knowledge in his heart. However, this was just the way the world was. It was never fair; he knew that all too well. It was just, every time he ran into this kind of thing, he was still unwilling to ept it. Forget it. He put his cellphone beside his pillow, pulled the quilt over his head, closed his eyes, and forced himself to go to sleep. Two minutester, he tossed the quilt off, turned over to pick up his cellphone again, and opened WeChat. The stickied chat¡¯sst response was still from yesterday. It was the ¡°Okay, then next time ba¡±, which he had sent. Up until now, he still hadn¡¯t received a reply. He hadn¡¯t yed any matches with 1 all week, and they had even chatted less. He opened the chat box and was about to send another message, when the words below the name at the top suddenly transformed¡ª¡ª [The other party is typing] Yu Yan¡¯s eyes widened and he stopped his hand from sending the emoticon. He waited quietly. Two minutes passed. Five minutes passed. Ten minutes¡­ Yu Yan couldn¡¯t resist. He felt that there was something on 1¡¯s mind that couldn¡¯t be said, so he didn¡¯t hesitate to open his keyboard and type¡ª Yu Yan: ? The other side replied in about a second. 1: ? Yu Yan: Are you still busy? 1: Done. Yu Yan persisted with his efforts and asked: Then how about ying some matches together tomorrow? Yi Chen hesitated for a while before replying: May not be free. He was rejected again. Yu Yan sighed and replied: Okay ba. 1: Why haven¡¯t you slept yet? Yu Yan: I¡¯ll go to sleep now. 1: En. Yu Yan: Wait! 1: ? Yu Yan: If you¡¯re not sleeping yet¡­ Can I see the cat? 1: ¡­ Looking at the ellipsis, Yu Yan¡¯s heart sank. He slowly typed out: If not, that¡¯s alright. Before he could send the message though, his cellphone vibrated, and a video call request popped up. He snapped out of it and immediately epted the call request. The erged face of a cat appeared. Yanyan blinked, and as always, bumped the cellphone with his head. ¡°Don¡¯t bump it.¡± The man¡¯s voice was low and deep. It carried a trace of hoarseness and a tone of helplessness. ¡°Silly cat.¡± Yu Yan felt that small amount of moodiness that he was wallowing in just now had been cured. He stared at the cat and tried to peep at the cat¡¯s owner from the empty corner beside the cat. At the same time that Yu Yan was trying hard to peep at 1, 1 was also looking at him. The light was very dim, as though only a bedsidemp had been turned on. The shadows fell on his face, contouring his facial features. The anchor was wearing a white T-shirt like usual, and since he had juste out from under the quilt, his cor was a bit messy. From his perspective, he could clearly see Yu Yan¡¯s high protruding corbones. Yi Chen had actually been busy this week. The project that he had been working on for several months had just been finalized. And because two projects were happening simultaneously, he had to run back and forth four times within these six days for back-to-back meetings. He had just returned home and the little anchor¡¯s message had arrived before he could even take a bath. He gently scratched the cat¡¯s chin and asked, ¡°Why don¡¯t you talk? Have you gone silly?¡± Yu Yan snapped out of his daze. ¡°Ah¡­ No, haven¡¯t gone silly.¡± This wasn¡¯t considered silly? Yi Chen chuckled and asked him, ¡°You ended your stream so long ago, so why aren¡¯t you sleeping yet?¡± Yu Yan replied honestly, ¡°Just ended a voice call. I was about to go to sleep but I suddenly¡­ wanted to see the cat.¡± ¡°Voice call?¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and stopped teasing the cat. ¡°With whom?¡± ¡°Tuantuan and them.¡± Yi Chen nced at the time; it was already past midnight. He was still voice chatting with other people when it was already thiste? The cat suddenly let out a soft meow. When his master released his grip, he turned around and jumped down. Yu Yan had originally been looking left and right of the cat, but since there was nothing covering him now, he could see 1 more clearly. Just as before, he saw ck pants with white pinstripes, a slightly wrinkled shirt, and a big-name brand¡¯s logo revealed on the belt. 1 was sitting casually but his suit pants stuck loosely to his body. Yu Yan could almost, at a nce, see some extraordinary undting lines. ¡°¡­¡± He really didn¡¯t mean to, it was the angle that was too illegal. The tips of his ears suddenly heated up, and he quickly moved his eyes away. Yi Chen bent down and used his big hands to scoop up the fleeing cat again. ¡°Silly cat, you¡¯ll get lost if you run again.¡± The cat seemed to understand. He immediately became obedient and sat still. ¡°He¡¯s very well-behaved.¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Are you nning to have him neutered?¡± ¡°You would have to ask him that.¡± Yi Chen lifted the cat¡¯s chin with his index finger and asked him, ¡°Silly cat, do you want to go out and find a little female cat?¡± The cat waspletely unaware that these two people were discussing his life affairs and just didn¡¯t move at all. Yu Yan looked at it,ughed, and then reflexively opened his mouth, ¡°Meow, want to find one.¡± Yi Chen paused. ¡°¡­¡± ¡°He¡¯s just a cat. Don¡¯t bully him, he can¡¯t talk.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I answered for him.¡± Yi Chen looked at the person on the screen, raised his hand, and rubbed the cat¡¯s head twice. ¡°¡­ Want to find one?¡± He said, ¡°I¡¯ll take you to get castrated tomorrow.¡± ¡°¡­¡± So, exactly what was the point of your question? Yi Chenughed when he saw the other party¡¯s speechless expression. He said seriously, ¡°I¡¯m usually very busy. It¡¯s already almost too much to raise one of them, I don¡¯t have enough energy to raise their children.¡± After chatting some more, Yu Yan hung up the call. He only realised afterwards that they had actually talked for half an hour. But if he had to recount what they had talked about, he unexpectedly wouldn¡¯t have been able to say anything for a while. He opened his video website¡¯s favourites list, found his pre-sleep video, and casually clicked on the personal homepage of the video creator, PO. Sure enough, the third part of the ¡°Little Anchor and Big Boss¡± series had been uploaded. Yu Yan was a conscientious PO follower. As he downloaded the new video, Yu Yan readily sent PO a few small gifts. Yi Chen hung up the call, randomly dropped his cellphone on the table, picked up the cat, and then walked out. As soon as he walked out of the room, he met Yi Ran who had just returned home from the outside. ¡°Ge, you still haven¡¯t slept yet?¡± Yi Ran approached him and rubbed the cat¡¯s chin. ¡°Take this silly cat to get neutered tomorrow.¡± ¡°Neutered? Ge, this is basically you killing him ah; you¡¯re so cruel ba,¡± Yi Ran said. ¡°If he goes out and produces more cats, are you going to support those kittens?¡± ¡°Then neutering him is for the best ba. Having one to y with is enough, I couldn¡¯t stand having more,¡± Yi Ran said. Then, as if he had detected something, he asked, ¡°Ge, why do you keep calling it ¡®silly cat¡¯ recently? Doesn¡¯t it have a name?¡± Yi Chen put the cat down and let him scurry to the living room. ¡°Changed it.¡± ¡°Oh¡­ Why ah?¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t answer. He turned away and went straight into his room. After he left, Yi Ran picked up the cat and clicked his tongue. ¡°My poor kitty. When he likes you, he calls you Yanyan; when he dislikes you, he calls you ¡®silly cat¡¯. It¡¯s just how men are, and you have to learn this lesson eventually.¡± ¡ª The next day, Yu Yan felt that something was wrong as soon as he entered the stream. After looking around for a bit, he discovered that the notice from Administrator 03 had disappeared. [Why is the notice gone ah?] [Could it be that the notice¡¯s time limit has expired?] [My ass, it¡¯s the StarTV staff who took it back, okay? The anchor¡¯s previous match, where there were no gun spawns, happened because he was running a bot and that messed with the game. This should count as the ban hammering down, ba??] [Previous messager, you should try and see if you can replicate that glitch then. If you running a bot messes up the game that badly, BlueHole should probably gtfo.] Yu Yan said, ¡°Don¡¯t spam the barrage. I¡¯ll ask the administrator about it.¡± However, his words didn¡¯t help the situation at all. The barrage was still lively and filled with quarrels. As today was Wednesday, PUBG was undergoing its weekly maintenance. Yu Yan opened up the mahjong game in QQ. ¡°Don¡¯t quarrel. If you keep fighting, you¡¯ll be banned by the mods. Today is maintenance day, so going to y two games of mahjong to build character.¡± For his first mahjong match, he had a good set of tiles. It only took three turns before a notification popped up on the right side of the screen, indicating that he couldplete a hand. He clicked to dismiss the notification without hesitation and continued to y. A bunch of question marks appeared in the barrage. He yed his tile and said with a smile, ¡°Not a winning hand. What¡¯s the point of using a mahjong, we need to make it a high-scoring hand.¡± [Don¡¯t be so greedy ah. Quickly sober up. You¡¯ll get 3000 mahjong beans!!] ¡°Enough.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Watch me get a hand worth eight to ten times more points in this game.¡± He held on until thest wall of mahjong tiles. He was missing thest piece in his honor tile set, the one that would clinch his high-scoring hand. At this time, someone discarded the tile that was needed toplete his set. [The game is almost done, just dere mahjong ba. Don¡¯t wait anymore.] Yu Yan resolutely clicked ¡®dismiss¡¯ on the chance to grab the tile and drew from the wall instead. It was the exact tile that hecked; he actuallypleted the honor tile sets for his hand. [???] [It seems that the anchor is very good at ying mahjong. Do you ept apprentices?] [So what if he couldplete the honor tile sets? There are so few tiles left that the game is probably going to end without a winner.] Yu Yan said in an undisciplined way, ¡°I normally y games so well, yet howe I didn¡¯t see anyone wanting me as their master then?¡± The mahjong tiles on the screen decreased, until thest one to draw was approaching. Suddenly, a prompt popped out on the right¡ªhe would win with the Juurensha: Nooooo Boss Yi whyyyy. Don¡¯t be immature just because you¡¯re jealous! (Hopefully there¡¯s a better exnation here for what¡¯s going on¡­) Also a quick note: the terms for mahjong are a little vague because it seems the author herself isn¡¯t exactly a mahjong yer.

Edited by Divetus and Noks The game result page popped up. When the other three yers saw his tiles, they also couldn¡¯t help sending out questioning emoticons in the QQ mahjong game¡¯s chat channel. [?? What the fuck. What happened? Is that the 1 I know??] [How did the 18,000 mahjong beans just disappear?!] [Who the fuck is this Little Millet?] [Little Millet is a female PUBG anchor, who talks especially coquettishly. She¡¯s not using a voice changer and speaks using her real voice¡­ The kind that teases and banters with her bosses every day. Not sure how many times her Weibo was banned. God, I don¡¯t believe it!] [Maybe you guys are overthinking it; you can change your StarTV username whenever you want to. There are so many people named 1! You guys wait, I¡¯ll go and find out.] Yu Yan pulled himself together, pressed to ready up, and started the next mahjong game. ¡°¡­ Just clicked wrong.¡± He said, ¡°Doesn¡¯t matter. Honor tile sets can be made at any time.¡± Yet, as a result, after the tiles were divided, one could see at a nce that Yu Yan¡¯s tiles were just a scattered jumble. Don¡¯t even mention honor tile sets, it would be considered a miracle if he could even get a ready hand before another person called out mahjong. [Holy crap. It¡¯s a good thing that you didn¡¯t open a quiz game, or else I¡¯d be ruined¡­] [Did the game start? The hand shown can¡¯t win.] ¡°Only going to start quiz games for PUBG. No other games will have quiz games.¡± The corners of Yu Yan¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°It will be fine. Just need to grab some tiles¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard the system sound effect for apleted hand¡ªthe person who had gone before him had dered mahjong. 3000 mahjong beans, instantly gone. At this time, that stream follower who had just gone to Little Millet¡¯s stream to investigate the situation had alsoe back. [¡­ It¡¯s over, it¡¯s all over. It really is 1.] [????] [His profile showed that he was a guardian rank in this livestream. The female anchor is still crazily thanking Boss 1. Her fans are still kicking up a fuss, wanting Boss 1 to spam her with gifts¡­] Yu Yan looked up and saw that his stream¡¯s viewer count was rapidly decreasing. In any case, there was no proper game content here, so everyone was just running over there to find out the truth. He pursed his lips and looked back to the mahjong game. He received the 3000 beans that the system sent him for the second time. ¡°It¡¯s normal for stream followers to watch other anchors¡¯ livestreams. It¡¯s also normal for them to send gifts to those anchors. Everyone, please don¡¯t disturb other anchors¡¯ livestreams.¡± Even though he said that, Yu Yan kept feeling depressed inside. There was an inexplicable feeling that just lingered inside his chest; it was very ufortable. In fact, Yu Yan already had a hunch that something was wrong. 1 had recently been replying to his messages much slower, and he hadn¡¯t been around that often to y games. Evenst night¡¯s video call was him sacrificing his face to ask for it first. No stream follower only liked one anchor. He always thought it was quite normal for his viewers, even those who were his die-hard fans, to go watch other anchors when he wasn¡¯t streaming. Even groupies could like two different idols, and there were also fans who just jumped from idol to idol. So why did it matter if 1 went to another stream? Heforted himself with this in mind. However, in the next game, where he decided to go for the honor tile sets right from the start, the win got stolen from him by an opponent¡¯s single self-drawn tile win. He asked softly, ¡°Err¡­ I have to ask everyone something.¡± ¡°Has my livestream¡¯s quality recently declined?¡± The stream followers were stunned. [How is that possible?!! I¡¯m always lurking here every day, waiting for you to fucking stream!! You¡¯re the best new anchor that I¡¯ve discovered recently!!!] [Wow, shit¡­ Xiao Yan, why am I so aggrieved after listening to your tone? I¡¯m dying; I have to spam you with gifts little by little.] [Don¡¯t undervalue yourself ah. Your livestream has always been very fun to watch; it¡¯s my only after-school hobby!!] [Maybe the female anchor is just Boss 1¡¯s friend? He probably just sent some gifts to publicly show support. He¡¯ll definitelye over here soon!] [¡­ Uh, Boss 1 sent the gift and then immediately went offline.] [My god. Seeing that Xiao Yan is so upset, I actually think that 1YanTang is real?!] Yu Yan stared at the barrage for a long time and thenughed. ¡°No. I¡¯m just asking for your opinions while I¡¯m not ying PUBG; I wanted to see if there was anything I need to improve on.¡± QQ¡¯s mahjong game only gave out beans three times a day. After he yed his third match, all of the daily 9000 beans were lost. PUBG¡¯s minimum maintenance time was seven hours, but Yu Yan was kicked out of the QQ mahjong room by the system. He was at a loss and just kept hisputer window on the QQ game lobby. [How about loading 10 yuan into QQ for more mahjong beans to continue ying ba?] ¡°Won¡¯t load any money, I¡¯m stingy. I never put money into games.¡± Yu Yan exited the QQ game lobby and slid his mouse over to his desktop. ¡°I¡¯ll y other games ba. What do you guys want to watch?¡± [I can¡¯t resist stingy men.] [Person who messaged before me, you should hurry up and snap out of it!] [Want to see CS. LoL would be okay too ba.] [Don¡¯t y CS. The first-person perspective is too dizzying. LoL +1!] Yu Yan looked at the barrage and followed the choice of the majority. ¡°Then I¡¯ll y LoL ba. But, I haven¡¯t yed this game for a long time, so I might be noob.¡± The game finished updating, and he had just logged on when a message immediately popped up. [Okay okay okay hugging you: Why did you log on here, isn¡¯t it your livestreaming time right now?] Yu Yan thought about who this was for a long time. He then recalled that Lu Xiuhe had changed his username to a couple name. [Is it my fault I¡¯m noob: PUBG is undergoing maintenance right now, so I came to y a few matches.] [Okay okay okay hugging you: y together? My baby just also happened to want to practice some champions, so we can y a few matches bei.] [Is it my fault I¡¯m noob: Okay.] Entering the party lobby, there was indeed someone named ¡°Little fairy wants a hug QAQ¡± in there. Yu Yan hadn¡¯t yed LoL in a very long time, and the game had already been updated many times since then. Now, the party lobby had voice chat. As soon as he entered, he heard Lu Xiuhe shouting. ¡°Do you have anyone else joining? If not, we¡¯ll just queue.¡± Yu Yan directly ignored the barrage assistant, which was full of piteously and crazily begging stream followers. ¡°No. Go and queue ba.¡± As they entered the champion selection interface, Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°Baby, who are you going to y? I¡¯ll choose based on your choice.¡± [Little fairy wants a hug QAQ: I¡¯ll keep ying Sorakaba~] ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll y a stronger champion to protect you.¡± Yu Yan asked casually, ¡°She doesn¡¯t have a mic?¡± ¡°Yeah, her mic is broken.¡± Yu Yan chose Zed as his champion. After they entered the game, he looked up her win rate. She had yed 100 games with Soraka and had a win rate of 79%. [Holy shit. I went to check this Little Fairy¡¯s match history and saw she¡¯s Diamond rank. Apart from ying Soraka, every other champion she yed were midners or junglers. She also has a lot of MVP titles. How is she so strong?!] [One look and you can already tell that she found people to carry her. I¡¯ve met a lot of these types of women.] [Every time I meet this kind of teammate in my ranked games, I get angry. Can¡¯t you just stay in Bronze and be the Bronze king?!] ¡°Don¡¯t say stuff like that.¡± Yu Yan took the opportunity to add, ¡°It¡¯s not good to nder others without proof ba. Moreover, it¡¯s obvious that I¡¯m more of a noob inparison.¡± The stream followers in the barrage told him not to be so humble. 10 minutester, the stream followers found that¡­ he really wasn¡¯t being humble. The little Zed happily set out of his team¡¯s base. Three minutes into the match, the opponent¡¯s Annie had repeatedly stomped him into the ground with her little bear; he died and was sent back to his base. Yu Yan opened the in-game match information and saw that next to the username of the yer ying Annie, there was a female gender symbol. In contrast in the botne, Lu Xiuhe ying an ADC had a score of 0/2/2 while the Soraka had¡­ 4/0/2. The 0/3/1 Zed left his base again. Yu Yan said, ¡°¡­ Girls are truly so fierce now ah.¡± ¡°Why doesn¡¯t LoL have an all-chat mic? I want to beg her not to kill me.¡± [??? What the hell are you doing? Show me some backbone here!] [Normally, other people turn on their mics to beg you not to kill them in PUBG, but I¡¯ve never seen you show mercy ah?] [Retribution ising, die ba!!!] [Little fairy wants a hug QAQ: How about you be support and I¡¯ll y mid ba? If we let Annie get fed, it¡¯ll be hard to fight her in the support meah? Just don¡¯t steal my minions.¡± Yu Yan was obedient and dazedly stood in the brush. It wasn¡¯t until Lu Xiuhe saw Yu Yan¡¯s various game actions that he began to feel that something was wrong. Although Yu Yan was better at ying shooters, his ability in MOBAs like LoL wasn¡¯t this low. In the past, Yu Yan was even at Master rank. Even if he hadn¡¯t touched it in a while, he shouldn¡¯t be unfamiliar to the point of being like a Silver-ranked yer ba. When Yu Yan was pulled by Blitzcrank for the second time, Lu Xiuhe couldn¡¯t hold back anymore. ¡°Xiao Yan, what¡¯s the matter with you ah. Are you in a bad mood today?¡± When the screen grayed out, Yu Yan opened the game¡¯s shop menu to buy items. ¡°Huh? No, it¡¯s just that I¡¯m ying like trash. I¡¯ll leave when the match ends so I won¡¯t drag you guys down.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a normal match¡­ It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Knowing that he was livestreaming, Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t keep prodding. The enemy team¡¯s Annie was just too fed. They couldn¡¯t fight against her during the teamfights, and the match ended in just 25 minutes. Looking at the huge defeat pop-up in front of him, Yu Yan exited the game. He said goodbye to Lu Xiuhe and went back to ying PUBG. After PUBG¡¯s maintenance this time, hisputer kept freezing. Yu Yan had bought his customizedputer over two years ago. In the anchor industry, such a lengthy period meant that he was long overdue in getting an upgrade. Otherwise, if all the hardware wasn¡¯t the best, it may affect the performance of the livestream. The barrage couldn¡¯t endure anymore as Yu Yan¡¯s game character floated above the ground for the third time. [I¡¯m thinking that we should crowdfund a newputer for you?] [Be careful. After a while, thatputer will freeze again. It¡¯s fine anyway, this botter will get the ban hammer. The livestream¡¯s notice is gone!] [Why isn¡¯t the anchor talking at all? When he was searching for items, I actually thought that I hadn¡¯t turned on my sound.] Yu Yan nced at the barrage and said, ¡°No, I am talking¡­ and it¡¯s not aputer problem; the game isgging. It happens often after maintenance.¡± Having said that, he raised his gun and knocked down a few people nearby with several gunshots. ¡°It¡¯s fine as long as it doesn¡¯t affect gamey.¡± Before apanying yers grew popr, he had been a booster. He had spent more than 10,000 yuan on thisputer. After getting everything customized and paid for, there was only 400 yuan left on his card. When he paid with WeChat pay, the bank notification had popped up and the salesman coincidentally saw it. The other party¡¯s eyes unconsciously showed a strange expression, but Yu Yan didn¡¯t care. In order to save the delivery and handling fees of 100 yuan, he took the bus home while holding the PC in his arms with a smile on his face that couldn¡¯t be contained. Being able to do what you liked as a profession, how could that not make people happy? In addition, he was diligent and supported himself with thatst 400 yuan for a month. He never experienced this dilemma again after his sry was paid to him at the end of the month. Now, it wasn¡¯t that he couldn¡¯t buy a newputer, he just thought that it was unnecessary. Anyway, even with its average graphics quality, the stream followers could still see everything clearly. When he made it to dinner time, he breathed a sigh of relief. He opened a recent and popr foreign horror film for the viewers, and then turned off his webcam. [Put on a horror movie and then just slipped away??] [It¡¯s fine if we watch a horror movie, but you at least need to show your face ah!] Yu Yan replied, ¡°I¡¯ll turn it back on after dinner.¡± When he returned to theputer with his takeout, he saw his cellphone light up. Your Great Lord Lu: Xiao Yan, what¡¯s going on with you ah? Why do I feel like you don¡¯t look okay? Yu Yan: There¡¯s nothing ah¡­ Your Great Lord Lu: Still saying nothing¡¯s wrong? I went to watch your livestream for a bit; you didn¡¯t talk much the entire afternoon. How¡¯s this ba, how about Ie and see you tomorrow? Your Great Lord Lu: I¡¯ll bring you breakfast. A breakfast full of love with a guaranteed amount of food to satisfy you. Yu Yan: No need. You¡¯re all the way over there, and I¡¯m all right. Your Great Lord Lu: Look ba, I¡¯ll get up early tomorrow. Remember to open the door for me. Hey, I¡¯m delivering breakfast to you out of love, it¡¯s extremely sincere. If she knew how kind I am to you, I¡¯m afraid she¡¯d be pissed off. Yu Yan dazedly held his cellphone for a long time. Yu Yan: Let me ask you something. Your Great Lord Lu: Ah, you ask. For a long time, Yu Yan repeatedly typed and deleted his words. He dawdled for a good while before managing to ask the question he wanted an answer to. Yu Yan: It¡¯s just¡­ say that there¡¯s a friend who is very good to you. Your rtionship with them is also pretty good, but one day, this friend also started to be good to others. Would you feel sad? Your Great Lord Lu: Not at all ah. Isn¡¯t that very normal? It¡¯s impossible for that person to have only you as a friend ba. You see, I¡¯m usually so nice to you, but now that I have my baby, I won¡¯t even go on your stream. Do you feel sad? ¡°¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s metaphor was simply fantastic. The more Yu Yan looked at his words, the more reasonable it seemed! But throughout the entire afternoon, all he had thought about was the gift notification that had popped up at the top of his screen. Had 1 also added that female anchor¡¯s WeChat? The stream followers had said that Little Millet was particrly good at chatting. Maybe the two of them had a good time chatting together ba. People shouldn¡¯t be idle. When they be idle, their thoughts just wander to the ends of the earth. Yu Yan held his cellphone: You¡¯re right. Your Great Lord Lu: Wait. When that person is good to other people, you feel sad? Yu Yan pursed his lips: En. He thought it was a normal reaction. Your Great Lord Lu: Do you guys chat frequently? Yu Yan: It used to be quite frequent, but we haven¡¯t talked much recently. Your Great Lord Lu: Why? Yu Yan: I don¡¯t know either. We also haven¡¯t yed games together as much. Your Great Lord Lu: ¡­ Games? Are you talking about a game friend? Yu Yan: Can be considered that ba. Your Great Lord Lu: ¡­ Hold on. Your Great Lord Lu: Do you feel very happy chatting with her? When you y games with her, do you like to rush in front and just carry the game? If someone said that she¡¯s to me, do you want to hold that person to the ground and blow his head off? Yu Yan was shocked. Lu Xiuhe had mistyped the pronoun. But¡­ Yu Yan: How did you know? Your Great Lord Lu: ¡­ Your Great Lord Lu: Xiao Yan, are you also dating someone online? ¡­ The wording of that sentence was extremely frightening, and it shocked Yu Yan. He opened the on-screen keyboard, ready to refute Lu Xiuhe, but his thumbs were so agitated that they collided with each other. As a result, the cellphone suddenly fell out of his hand and directly collided with the drinks included with the takeout. With a bang, the bottles tipped over. A full bottle of Coke poured out and the liquid dripped down the gap of hisputer desk onto hisputer below. Theputer screen in front of him suddenly went dark. ¡°¡­¡± ¡ª The author has something to say: No scum, no abuse ¡ª Juurensha: Aw, poor Yanyan. Boss Yi, there better be a good exnation for this! You cost Yanyan aputer! Divi: Ah, the author said no scum so I assume Boss Yi has a good exnation. Anyway, Yu Yan was made aware of his feelings so quickly! But¡­ I¡¯m so sorry for theputer. Carbonated/sugary drinks are the absolute worst forputer parts. Noks: Damn. He will have to get that upgrade now¡­ And 1¡­ stop distancing yourself from our Yanyan and give him an exnation pronto!!! Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! And there¡¯s an audio drama for PUBG that came out! It¡¯s more condensed than the novel, but it¡¯s fun! Chapter 47 - Not looking at the cat today Chapter 47 - Not looking at the cat today Edited by Divetus and Noks Yu Yan looked at the ck screen. For a while, he didn¡¯t know whether to be shocked at Lu Xiuhe¡¯s question or to be distressed about hisputer. After a while, he sighed. He picked up his cellphone and wiped off the Coke that had sttered onto its screen. Yu Yan: Not dating online. Something happened over here, let¡¯s talkter. After sending that message, he grabbed some paper towels and crouched down. He unplugged hisputer before wiping down theputer tower. The more he rubbed, the sadder he felt. Sure enough, when it rains it pours. He felt that no matter how much he wiped, he couldn¡¯t get rid of all the Coke from hisputer tower. He took a picture of it and posted it on Weibo as he helplessly asked for leave. It seemed that he really had be a vacationing anchor. Because his screen had suddenly cked out during his livestream, the number ofments below his Weibo post was simply frightening. [Fuck man, it¡¯s fine to watch horror movies, but then your screen went dark just as the ghost popped up. Did you want to scare me to death??] [I quickly pulled out my safety charm!] [Prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony¡­] Yu Yan put himself in their shoes and thought about it; it really must¡¯ve been frightening to them. The pent up emotions in his heart finally rxed a bit after reading thesements. Afterpletely wiping theputer tower dry, he changed his clothes and while carrying it, went outside. After all, this was the tool he used to make a living with. It would not be good to not resolve this issue as early as possible. ¡°Liquid has gottenpletely into theponents.¡± The repairman looked over the parts and said, ¡°This hardware was pretty good a few years ago, but it¡¯s now considered a bit outdated as it¡¯s used. It¡¯ll cost a lot of money to repair. Once liquid enters a piece of hardware, it¡¯s highly improbable for it to get restored to its original state. It¡¯s better to just add a few thousand yuan and buy a newputer.¡± This repairman wasn¡¯t specifically trying to target Yu Yan; at least 998 out of 1000puter repair shops tried to cheat people by bullying the amateurs who didn¡¯t understand howputer hardware worked. However, Yu Yan wasn¡¯t exactly an amateur. He had seen many technicians buildputers in-store before, and they had asionally exined the process to him. In his current situation, he would only need to switch out two or threeputer ba.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± By the time he exited the repair shop, it was 9:00 p.m. It wasn¡¯t until his stomach growled that he remembered his freshly ordered takeout, which had been left on theputer desk; it was probably cold by now. Since the takeout was already cold, Yu Yan wasn¡¯t in a hurry to return home. He entered a restaurant selling spicy hot pot on the way back, and ordered a set meal for a little over 30 yuan in a single breath. At this time, even though there weren¡¯t many people in the restaurant, Yu Yan still chose to sit in a corner. He had just taken two bites of his meal when a couple entered the restaurant and sat down right behind him. He had chosen to sit in the corner for some peace and quiet, but unexpectedly, the couple seemed to be quarreling. As soon as the girl sat down, she stated, ¡°We just needed to talk about the situation, so why are you dragging me here?¡± The man said, ¡°Just now, there were so many people out on the street; even if you didn¡¯t find it disgraceful, I did.¡± ¡°Good ah. You think that I¡¯m acting disgraceful now? Why didn¡¯t you feel that you were disgraceful when you cheated?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense ah, I didn¡¯t cheat.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t cheat?¡± The girl sneered and threw her chopsticks down. ¡°Then, what¡¯s the meaning of you and that female anchor voice-chatting throughout the night? And ying games together every day? You¡¯ve also given her several thousand yuan worth of gifts through your livestream ount. Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know, I¡¯ve thoroughly investigated everything!¡± The man¡¯splexion changed. ¡°You actually went through my cellphone?¡± ¡°What? You did something, yet you¡¯re actually afraid of being discovered ah?¡±¡± Yu Yan instantly felt that the taste of the fish tofu in his mouth had changed. No matter how he ate it, it wasn¡¯t very appealing anymore. It seemed very unlikely that the two people behind him were going to stop quarrelling soon. Yu Yan quickly slurped up two more mouthfuls of noodles and hurriedly got up to pay so he could leave. When he returned home, he threw away the takeout, went to the bathroom to take a bath, and theny in bed as he thought about life. Lu Xiuhe was right. No one would get angry just because their friend treated other people well, or at least, he wasn¡¯t the type of person to get angry at that. But he couldn¡¯t lie to himself. Did 1 like other anchors now, had 1 gotten tired of watching his livestream, did 1 think that he was very annoying¡­? He definitely cared a lot about the answer to these questions. He took his cellphone out, logged into StarTV with his side ount, and then went into Little Millet ya¡¯s livestream. The woman wearing heavy makeup and a short skirt sat at herputer desk ying a game. From the video camera¡¯s downward nted angle, you could see that her crossed legs were thin and white. 1¡¯s name hung at the top right corner of the stream. It happened to be at the 10th rank on this stream¡¯s gifter list. Her voice was the same as her appearance, coy and charming. ¡°Thank you Yong Ge for the little star, love you mua, giving you a kiss mua~¡± ¡°What ? The skirt can¡¯t be any shorter or the tform will suspend me. You guys, don¡¯t make trouble.¡± The following lines in the barrage were also simrly R-rated. Yu Yan had never seen a female anchor be so ostentatiously coquettish. He was stunned and immediately left the stream. 1¡¯s preferences had changed so much that he momentarily felt like he couldn¡¯t keep up. After a long time, he very slowly opened WeChat. His chat with Lu Xiuhe was still the second chat on his list. Just seeing the words ¡°dating online¡± there made him nervous. He had been browsing the Inte for so many years, so it was only natural for him to have run into everything. Many girls had wanted to get into an online rtionship with him, but he hadn¡¯t agreed to be in one with any of them. Neitizens would say that being online but not dating online was a waste of electricity. He had to carefully calcte how many years of electricity he had wasted. But he couldn¡¯t do anything about that. He had never found anyone who had made him blush or feel nervous or even shy. But now he had. Yu Yan stared at the profile picture of the full moon in the dark night and thought that he truly wasn¡¯t dating anyone online. He was in an unrequited love. Yu Yan had several favorite voices that he had used as sleeping pills or leisure entertainment. When the announcer or the CV had announced their new rtionship or marriage, he had happily wished them well. But for 1, he couldn¡¯t do that. Just thinking about it made his chest feel tight. He seemed to have really fallen for 1. Yu Yan grabbed his cellphone, opened 1¡¯s chat box, wanting to say something, but then he managed to stop himself. He was a man who liked another man; this kind of situation would be strange to many people. Moreover, he knew very little about 1. For example, what did 1 do for a living, how old was he, and what did he look like? And furthermore, did 1 have a girlfriend? Or even, had he already started a family? Yu Yan didn¡¯t dare to think about it any more. He quickly exited out of his chat with 1. ¡­ They were just online friends. This realization made him instantly wake up. He stared at the other person¡¯s profile picture for a long time. Then, he opened the chat settings, clenched his teeth, and unstickied 1¡¯s chat from the top. Simply cutting his losses was the method he used the most. ¡ª ¡°Tch, too sexy.¡± Mo Nancheng reclined on the bench and said this to his friend next to him, ¡°Tell me ah, why is Chen so sexy ah? With those beautiful swimming strokes and his figure, all the people in the swimming pool are watching him.¡± The friendughed, ¡°You jealous ah?¡± ¡°Jealous my ass.¡± Mo Nancheng lightly coughed. ¡°If I just put in a bit of effort, I could also get a body like that!¡± As soon as he said that, the man in the swimming pool quickly swam to Mo Nancheng¡¯s side. He propped his hand on the bricks and directly got out of the water, the outline of his muscles tightening from the effort. He didn¡¯t have the intimidating bulk of a fitness trainer though, it was just a perfectly healthy body. His back muscles made the people behind him unable to look away. ¡°What did you say about me?¡± Yi Chen grabbed a towel and put it over his shoulder. ¡°What the fuck, even Shunfeng¡¯er doesn¡¯t have your hearing.¡± Mo Nancheng said, ¡°Just praising your sexiness.¡± Yi Chen sneered. ¡°Scram.¡± Mo Nancheng stretched his body. ¡°I¡¯ve been running around all day. Golf in the morning, gym in the afternoon, swimming in the evening¡ªI feel like I¡¯ve already aged ten years.¡± Yi Chen replied, ¡°I didn¡¯t ask you toe.¡± This was his regr schedule. He always dedicated a day during the weekend to exercise. There was a family dinner this weekend, so he had temporarily moved his exercise day to Wednesday. Mo Nancheng said, ¡°We were just trying something new. Next time, you definitely won¡¯t see us here.¡± Yi Chen ignored him. He picked up his cellphone and pressed on it, but it didn¡¯t light up. It had automatically turned itself off at some point. ¡°What¡¯s the matter with you? You¡¯ve been staring at your cellphone for forever. Do you have work?¡± Mo Nancheng asked. ¡°Nothing.¡± Yi Chen turned around and headed for the bathroom. ¡°Oh, wait for me.¡± Mo Nancheng hurriedly caught up with him. ¡°By the way, I¡¯m going to Manyang the day after tomorrow. Want to join me?¡± Yi Chen nced at him and asked, ¡°What are you going for?¡± ¡°Hehe, the female DJ asked me out on a date to go look at the sea.¡± ¡°Not going.¡± ¡°Really not going?¡± Mo Nancheng lowered his voice and asked, ¡°Don¡¯t you want that young man fromst time ah?¡± Yi Chen¡¯s steps paused, and he frowned. ¡°With our rtionship, you¡¯re still trying to hide it from me? Is it fun?¡± Mo Nancheng continued, ¡°Yi Ran already told me everything, you¡¯re a real beast.¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t know what the fool Yi Ran had said to Mo Nancheng, but it couldn¡¯t have been anything good. ¡°Not going. Don¡¯t have time.¡± He said, ¡°There¡¯s a family party this weekend.¡± Mo Nancheng let out an ¡°oh¡± andughed, ¡°Okay, then let¡¯s go again when you¡¯re free.¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t answer him again. After taking a shower, he drove home. As soon as he walked past the door, he saw Yi Ran rubbing the cat in the living room. ¡°Ge¡­ you¡¯re back?¡± Yi Ran paused and weakly asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you reply to my messages?¡± ¡°Cellphone died.¡± When the cat saw Yi Chen, he jumped off of Yi Ran¡¯s feet, ran to him, and rubbed his tail against his calf. Seeing Yi Ran¡¯s guilty-looking face, Yi Chen asked, ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Ah¡­ it¡¯s like this.¡± Today, Yi Ran¡¯s school had told him to submit his papers. It had just so happened that he had left hisputer at school, and he was toozy to run back to get it, so he had wanted to simply borrow Yi Chen¡¯s. Yi Ran had sent Yi Chen a message, but he didn¡¯t get a reply. The school was rushing him to submit his papers, so he went into Yi Chen¡¯s study on his own ord. Before Yi Chen had begun ying games, the desktopputer had basically been left to collect dust. All the important files were on hisptop andpanyputer, so his desktop in the study had no password; Yi Ran could easily ess it. After he finished submitting his papers, Yi Ran discovered that his WeChat friend group were all talking about a female anchor who was just too coquettish. He immediately grew curious and opened the webpage to join in on the fun. ¡°That female anchor said that if someone sent her a meteor shower, she would eat a condom. It was just too fucking weird and attention-seeking that I couldn¡¯t help it, but I forgot that the webpage had automatically logged into your ount¡ª¡ª¡± Yi Chen asked, ¡°¡­ She would eat what?¡± Yi Ran repeated what he had said. Yi Chen asked, ¡°What was their name?¡± ¡°I forgot.¡± Yi Ran continued fearfully, ¡°¡­ You can go to your home page and see the sent gifts information there.¡± Yi Chen nodded and said before entering his room, ¡°Pack up your stuff and scram by tomorrow, or I¡¯ll personally wrap you up and deliver you to your parents over the weekend.¡± Yi Chen ignored the wailing outside and went back to his room. The first thing he did was connect his cellphone to the charging cable. Two minutester, the phone turned on. Yi Chen was changing clothes. When he heard the WeChat notification from his cellphone, his mood turned good. After changing into his regr clothes, he slowly walked to the bed and opened up WeChat. Of the 22 WeChat messages he had received, three came from his assistant, and 19 were from his stupid cousin. The corners of his mouth pulled into a frown, and he directly deleted Yi Ran¡¯s messages. He refreshed the WeChat homepage again¡ª¡ª No matter how many times he swiped down to refresh, no messages from the little anchor appeared. The little anchor usually sent him a message every day. Sometimes, it was just an emoticon, and sometimes it was a greeting. Up until now, this pattern had never been broken. He turned on theputer and clicked into his favorited livestream. The screen waspletely dark, except for the remaining people who hung around the empty livestream. Yi Chen frowned, picked up his cellphone, and sent a message first. 1: Not streaming today? The other party may have been upied with something, since he hadn¡¯t replied after a long time. Yi Chen thought about it and clicked on Weibo, something that he only looked at once every hundred years. Because he didn¡¯t follow many people, the other party¡¯s Weibo had already shown up when Yi Chen opened his home page. [StarTV yanxyan: Computer got drenched, taking another break ba. Will make up the livestream timeter, really really sorry [sobbing][picture]] He clicked to open the picture. There was still some liquid on theputer tower. The young man¡¯s hand was in the picture, holding a piece of paper towel. Because of the liquid stains on the paper towel, it was rather colorful. The young man¡¯s fingers were white and slender. They were very good-looking, not the kind fit for tapping a keyboard, but more like the kind fit for ying the piano. 1: Yourputer broke? After a while, he finally got a reply. Little Anchor: En. 1: That¡¯s perfect, more time for you to rest. Little Anchor: ¡­ En. Yi Chen stared at the ¡°en¡± and kept feeling like the little anchor was in a bad mood. 1: Yourputer broke, so you¡¯re unhappy? Little Anchor: ¡­ Little Anchor: Could count as that ba. 1: If you keep the old, you can¡¯t get anything new. Little Anchor: ¡­ As expected. Everyone was happy with the new and tired of the old¡ªin terms of things, people, and also anchors. Yu Yan didn¡¯t know how to reply and just dully tapped out a few periods. 1: Since you¡¯re not streaming, what are you nning to do? Yu Yan held his cellphone and looked at the beach wallpaper that he had set in the background, casually replying: I¡¯ll go look at the sea. Yi Chen remembered what Mo Nancheng had mentioned today. Manyang had a beach that was famous for its clear waters; it was said that even the depths of the ocean could be seen through the waves, but he was busy and so had never visited it. 1: Does it look nice? Little Anchor: Looks nice. Shouldn¡¯t you clearly exin how nice it looks? At this point, Yi Chen would be a fool if he couldn¡¯t perceive the other party¡¯s indifference. He put his cellphone on the table and waited for nearly five minutes, but his cellphone didn¡¯t vibrate at all. As expected, if he didn¡¯t continue the conversation, the other party wouldn¡¯t keep messaging him. This was the result he had originally expected¡ªafter alienating him, the little anchor would realize his indifference and would have no other thoughts about him. He had only used this tactic for a week. ¡­. He only used it for a week yet the little anchor just gave up? Did young people nowadays have no perseverance whatsoever?? Yi Chen frowned. He picked up his cellphone, scrolled through the chat history and discovered that each of the little anchor¡¯s responses from today had at most three words; clearly showing just INDIFFERENCE. That was perfect. Now Yi Chen could just be a stream follower who quietly watched the livestream in the future, without needing to worry about anything else. He tossed his cellphone onto the desk and went out of the study to make a cup of coffee. Three minutester, he returned to his study with a dark expression on his face, holding a coffee in one hand and a cat in the other. He then picked up his cellphone and directly initiated a video call with the other party. Ding¡ª¡ª The screen shed. [The other party rejected your video call request] Little Anchor: I¡¯m really sleepy, so I¡¯ll just not look at the cat today. ¡°¡­¡± The cat in Yi Chen¡¯s arms looked at his cellphone and then at his owner. ¡°¡­ Meow?¡± ¡ª The author has something to say: It¡¯s both their first times to like someone, let¡¯s forgive them ba. ¡ª Juurensha: Omgggg, Boss Yi, you need to realize the mixed signals you¡¯re sending. Just admit that you¡¯re in love. Yanyan at least has acknowledged his own feelings. Divi: You don¡¯t know what you had until you lost it Yi Chen¡­ Make yourself clear cause Yanyan already realized it. Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! And there¡¯s an audio drama for PUBG that came out! It¡¯s more condensed than the novel, but it¡¯s fun! Chapter 48 - "Im not dirty." Chapter 48 - ¡°I¡¯m not dirty.¡± Edited by Divetus and Noks After Yu Yan rejected the video call request, he opened up the video tform¡¯s app. His thumb wavered over his favorites list for a while before he finally decided to click it. He opened the ylist of several videos, connected his headphones, and closed his eyes all in one go. Habits were hard to get rid of. He would listen to the videos for a few more days and slowly decrease the amount of time he spent listening to them. After that, he wouldn¡¯t listen to them any more. He put forth this resolve in his heart without much confidence. The next day, only after being noisily awakened did Yu Yan remember that he had forgotten to turn off his daily rm clock. He was still a bit sleepy when he picked up his cellphone and turned it over to read the Weiboments before going back to sleep. However, as soon as he unlocked his phone, a message popped up. Tuantuan: You asked for double leave again? What, are you going to remove your armor and return to the farm? You¡¯re the only one who asks for leave so frequently during thispetition; others are eager to stream for 24 hours. Yu Yan: No, myputer got liquid damage. Tuantuan: So what, who hasn¡¯t had theirputer malfunction ya? Find an Inte cafe with goodputers and continue working.oshu just got reported, so we should hurry and continue farming points in these next two days. It¡¯s the perfect time for you to take advantage of the situation and rank up ah! Yu Yan: ¡­ But, didn¡¯t you say that the award winners have already been decided? Tuantuan: Who knows what award he was selected for. Besides, apart from the Kills King of the Year, isn¡¯t there also that obviously strange Chicken-Eating King award? If you rank above him, maybe he¡¯ll get pushed into another award? It all just sounded too sad. Yu Yan thought about it and felt like she was right, although not specifically about the awards issue. These days, he really had asked for leave too many times; he was pretty embarrassed. He used his cellphone to find the best Inte cafe near him and went out after washing up. Because it was a Thursday, there weren¡¯t many people in the Inte cafe. Yu Yan went up to the front desk and handed his ID over. ¡°Need aputer.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± The receptionist at the front desk was a young girl. She was eating fruit, but when she looked up and saw Yu Yan, her mouth slowly closed. ¡°U-um, it¡¯s the first time you¡¯vee here ba, how much money do you want to charge?¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°How much for your best machine? And, does ite with a webcam?¡± ¡°50 yuan per hour. It¡¯s a machine in a private room with a webcam and microphone. We have thetest models so they run super smoothly.¡± 50 yuan an hour was really expensive. The most expensiveputer in Lu Xiuhe¡¯s family¡¯s Inte cafe was just 12 yuan an hour. However, fortunately, in order to retain customers, this Inte cafe had an offer¡ªcharge 100 yuan into your ount for the first time and they will give an additional 100 yuan¡¯s worth of time. Since he had alreadye here, Yu Yan didn¡¯t hesitate. He took out the money to pay and said, ¡°400 yuan, thank you.¡± After he finished arranging everything, he found the area with the private rooms and stared at it. He thought that with such an expensive machine rental rate, they would be single-person private rooms, but unexpectedly, they were all two-person private rooms. Each room had two adjacent seats, simr to a typical room in other Inte cafes. But, judging from theputer¡¯s exterior, its quality was still good. ¡°Are there only two-person rooms?¡± He asked thework manager who had just passed by. He felt a little embarrassed at the thought of having to livestream in front of other people. ¡°Yes, do you mind?¡± thework manager asked. ¡°However, the machines inside the rooms are expensive. It¡¯s also not the weekend, so no room will be full. You can sit in one at ease.¡± ¡°So it¡¯s like that,¡± Yu Yan said with a smile. ¡°Thank you.¡± He found a room far down into the corridor, turned on theputer, and tested the equipment. ¡­ The equipment here was better than the stuff he had at home. He had to say that although this Inte cafe was expensive, it had a good reason to be. Not only was theputer hardware good, the livestreaming equipment was also veryprehensive. He opened the settings interface but found that he pretty much didn¡¯t have to change anything to get his livestream up and running. He didn¡¯t dawdle for too long and just directly started his livestream. Because he had asked for leave, most of the viewers currently hanging around in his livestream were zombie fans. He had just finished adjusting his webcam angle when the stream followers, who had received the notification that the anchor they were following had started streaming, began pouring in. [Did I remember it wrong? Didn¡¯t you ask for leave for today??] [Where is Xiao Yan at ah? The background isn¡¯t the same as usual.] [Did theputere back to life???] ¡°It didn¡¯te back to life.¡± Yu Yan clicked to share his Weibo post, and more viewers showed up. ¡°It¡¯s still being repaired. Today, I ran to an Inte cafe to livestream.¡± [A conscientious anchor, I¡¯m crying.] ¡°Doesn¡¯t count as being a conscientious anchor, it¡¯s just the regr daily livestream time anyway.¡± Yu Yanunched PUBG and went into training mode. ¡°This is my first time at this Inte cafe, so I¡¯ll warm up with the newputer first.¡± Last night, Coke had also spilled onto his keyboard, resulting in problems with several keys. He had bought recement key caps online, but they hadn¡¯t arrived yet, so he didn¡¯t bring his own peripherals today. For him, theputer¡¯s hardware was secondary; it was the keyboard and the mouse that were most important. Once you got used to your keyboard and then reced it with a different one, it would more or less affect your performance. This was also the reason why most professional yers chose to bring their own keyboard to the target, and started shooting at it. Following the fierce sound of gunfire were numerous bullet holes that immediately appeared on the target&#k2014;&#k2014; Several densely packed bullet holes, all concentrated in mostly one area with minimal fluctuations. ¡°Not bad.¡± He nodded and was pretty satisfied. ¡°ying two solos right now. I¡¯ll draw stream followers in the afternoon ba, haven¡¯t taken you guys along for quite a while.¡± Just as he entered Manners za, Yu Yan felt as if there was someone outside his room. He took a moment to nce over. There were three girls standing outside. They were ying rock-paper-scissors. ¡°So it¡¯s agreed¡ªif you win, you go inside, and if you lose, you can¡¯t be mad ah,¡± One of the girls said. ¡°Fine, but it¡¯s also agreed that if you get his WeChat, you have to share it with your sisters!¡± ¡°And you¡¯re not allowed to directly confess to him. Give everyone a chance!¡± ¡°Deal!¡± The girl who won the rock-paper-scissors game was a girl with two pigtails. She lifted her head and held her chest out, her whole body radiating with vigor. ¡°I¡¯m going in, sisters.¡± ¡°Scram ah!¡± Yu Yan had no idea what was going on outside. He hadn¡¯t expected that, despite hiding in the deepest room in the corridor, he would¡¯ve only gotten less than half an hour before the second guest entered the room. The door was opened and the girl came in, smiling at him shyly. Yu Yan quickly returned the smile and then looked away. What¡¯s to be done? ¡°Is no one using thisputer ah?¡± the girl asked. Yu Yan really wanted to tell her that someone was using theputer, and then go spend money to also book thatputer. But he only had one ID card. And he was reluctant to waste money. ¡°¡­ No one¡¯s using it.¡± [What¡¯s the situation?] [The anchor is at an Inte cafe, and someone else hase to use the otherputer in his room.] [Fuck. You go to sit in a random Inte cafe, and then even get a girl sitting next to you. I hate it!] Yu Yan pursed his mouth. He felt that it was too awkward to continue talking to his stream followers, but he also just couldn¡¯t stop interacting with them. After a long time, he ended up opening his mouth to say, ¡°Um, I¡¯m sorry but, I¡¯m running a livestream here. I may disturb you during this time¡­¡± The girl was a bit stunned but then hurriedly nodded. ¡°That¡¯s fine, I¡¯m not afraid of noise.¡± ¡°Are you an anchor ya? Which tform?¡± He heard the sound of a gunshot and Yu Yan returned his focus to hisputer. ¡°StarTV.¡± Seeing that he was in the middle of ying a game, the girl let out a gentle ¡°oh¡±. She didn¡¯t disturb him any more, but kept her eyes on hisputer screen. She saw him directlynd and shoot an enemy from behind a rock while conveniently firing twice to headshot another enemy who was trying to creep up from behind him. His marksmanship looked explosively handsome as he carried out these maneuvers skillfully with ease. She picked up her phone, opened WeChat, and expressionlessly typed out a series of ¡°ahhhh¡±: Found a babe. This little Gege is so fucking hot while ying games! He¡¯s still so shy that his ears are even red! First time meeting such a babe, how should I flirt?¡± ¡°Oh my god, this type is the easiest to flirt with, okay?! With praise ah! Praise him to death! Praise him until his face ispletely red, then take the chance to get his WeChat, and done!¡± The girl thought that such a n was feasible, so every time the little Gege killed an enemy, she eximed, ¡°Wow!¡± ¡°So powerful~¡± ¡°You¡¯re so strong ya¡­ and your fingers are nice too.¡± Five minutes had passed, and Yu Yan still hadn¡¯t responded to her. [Is this girl tired yet?] [Xiao Yan really is a tender-feelings killer¡­] [Not sure why, but I just feel like this is especially funny 23333] Yu Yan had felt a bit shy at first, since it was a little shameful to livestream in front of other people. But he got used to it after a while. After putting on the headphones, he couldn¡¯t really hear what the person next to him was saying anyway. After finishing off the people behind him, Yu Yan looted everything and headed to the final circle. ¡­. Yi Chen only saw the push notification from StarTV once the meeting was over. StarTV¡¯s division manager had already been waiting outside the conference room for a long time. After he saw Yi Chene out, he hurriedly came forward and handed over the documents. ¡°President Yi, this is our newly drafted list of personnel. Most of them are anchors on the tform, as well as club members who have signed contracts with our tform. Please have a look¡­¡± ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen received the documents and strode to his office. ¡°You can leave first, I¡¯ll contact you after reading the list.¡± He closed his office¡¯s door and directly opened his favorites list in StarTV. The little anchor really had started streaming. He saw the young man sitting in an unfamiliar environment with a serious expression on his face, giving his full attention to ying the game. There was also an unfamiliar female voice lingering beside him. Every time he showed a set of moves, it would be timely followed by a bunch of praise. The tone was exaggerated, and the words were full of adoration. He frowned and didn¡¯t understand what was going on. [Boss 1 is here!! Ahahaha, I just jumped into the 1YanTang pitst night, and today I just happened to get fluff! Nice!] Ordinarily, such a line being thrown in the barrage would be weed with a crowd of sympathetic users. Who would¡¯ve expected that the tone of today¡¯s barrage was totally different; this line had nearly flown off the barrage screen before the other stream followers finally responded to it. [What nonsense was the person before saying?] [The person who just messaged came toote; 1YanTang had alreadye to a BE yesterday.] [I¡¯ve climbed out of the pit anyway. Whole-heartedly concentrating on watching Xiao Yan¡¯s livestream ba.] Yi Chen nced at the barrage and waited quietly for a few minutes. The person on the screen still continued to y the game and didn¡¯t speak, even after a long time had passed since he had entered the stream. Good, very good. The person who was usually a hundred times more enthusiastic upon seeing him wasn¡¯t even going to greet him today. Yi Chen moved his cursor. A few secondster, a gift notification popped up in the stream. [1 sent out a Sea of Stars in yanxyan¡¯s livestream] Yu Yan was currently ying in the final circle in his current match. He was stunned by the notification but his attention was soon drawn back by the in-game gunshots. [It¡¯s normal to watch other anchors ah, are us sisters too sensitive? I think 1YanTang is still promising, after all, Boss 1 only sent that female anchor a meteor shower.] [Yes ah. Didn¡¯t he return here today?] [And, you can open Boss 1¡¯s personal homepage and see that he¡¯s still only following just Xiao Yan.] Yu Yany in the grass and single-mindedly focused on the location from where the sound of the gunshot hade from. But his heart wavered and softened as he followed and read his stream followers¡¯ words. Seeing that Yu Yan didn¡¯t respond, Yi Chen didn¡¯t hesitate to send him another Sea of Stars gift. [Boss is so generous. I give in, I¡¯ll jump back into the pit.] [Um, do you guys feel like Boss 1 is using gifts to try to attract Xiao Yan¡¯s attention ah?] [I also feel that way!! In addition, Xiao Yan actually didn¡¯t even greet Boss 1! Before, he used to wee Boss 1 every time he entered the stream!] In the end, Yu Yan couldn¡¯tpletely harden his heart. He saw that 1 was smashing this much money, so he was about to open his mouth to say something. [Wait, I just discovered something¡­ The livestream of the female anchor that Boss 1 was watching yesterday has been banned?] [Wtf, it¡¯s true. Even her anchor ount has been cancelled!] [¡­ Listening to your guys¡¯ words, I clicked open Boss 1¡¯s profile, saw that female anchor¡¯s name and didn¡¯t feelfortable so I hurriedly left. Ugh, in my mind, Boss 1 is already dirty.] [Tch, no wonder¡­ This Boss 1 couldn¡¯t even watch that stream if he wanted to ah. Like I said, he didn¡¯t say a word yesterday, so why would he just run back today?] [So, you mean that he only came back to this stream because he couldn¡¯t watch that female anchor anymore? Fuck, should I return to this pit or not?] He was dirty? Where was he dirty? How was he dirty? Yi Chen frowned. Based on the stream followers¡¯ words, he opened his own profile page. Although he clearly knew why the female anchor¡¯s ID was there, when he looked at it, he actually felt that it was an eyesore. Yu Yan had caught sight of thest enemy and crouched down to finish him off. After the chicken-eating victory page popped out and he nced at the barrage, his eyebrows gradually knit together. He didn¡¯t think that his idiotic stream followers were being very cute today, as they were unapologetically jabbing at his feelings. In the end, in his usual tone, he politely said, ¡°Thank you Boss 1 for the two Sea of Stars¡­ Don¡¯t send more, no need to spend. Thanks.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan finished talking, exited the match he had won to return to the game lobby, and was getting ready to y the second match. ¡°I wasn¡¯t the one who sent that gift to the other anchor.¡± The deep male voice that sounded out in the livestream caught everyone off guard. They only saw that there was a small microphone icon lit up beside the yellow vest by 1¡¯s ID. The man lightly clicked his tongue and continued, emphasizing his words before anyone could react. ¡°I¡¯m not dirty.¡± ¡ª The author has something to say: Chen is so angry. ¡ª Juurensha: Ohohohoho, it¡¯s time to grovel and exin a bit Boss Yi, Yanyan is very upset! Divi: Don¡¯t let your Yi Ran loose, or else it causes misunderstandings u_u. If Yi Ran hade into the stream himself, he could¡¯ve also exined on Yi Chen¡¯s behalf. At least the cat¡¯s out of the bag! Noks: Ah!! An entire day of angst before the situation was cleared up. And Boss Yi¡­ what happened to distancing yourself from Yanyan? Can¡¯t tolerate it when he ignores you, eh??? XD Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! And there¡¯s an audio drama for PUBG that came out! It¡¯s more condensed than the novel, but it¡¯s fun!Please check out and support the raws if you can! Chapter 49 - You can just sit there in first place Chapter 49 - You can just sit there in first ce Edited by Divetus Yu Yan was taken aback, and his in-game character that had been running also stopped moving. [As if I¡¯d believe you, piece of shit.] [Mouth of a man, liar and chatan! ] [¡®Not the person who did it¡¯ was an excuse I used in middle school, so overused ba!] Yu Yan didn¡¯t say anything until he heard the roar of the airne in his headphones. ¡°The stream followers are just kidding, you don¡¯t have to take it seriously.¡± After a while, he added, ¡°Also, it¡¯s very normal to watch other anchors¡­ Don¡¯t feel pressured.¡± Yi Chen replied, ¡°As long as you don¡¯t listen to them, I won¡¯t feel pressured.¡± ¡°¡­¡± What did he mean by that ah? Yu Yan gritted his teeth and managed to restrain himself from blurting out the words ¡°I won¡¯t listen to them¡±. As he was deliberating between what to do, the game had already started. He looked at the flight route and didn¡¯t hesitate jumping to Military Base. He grabbed a shotgun as soon as hended and raised it to knock down the person holding the M16 in front of him. The barrage fervently started talking to Yi Chen. [What do you mean, ¡®don¡¯t listen to us¡¯?] [That¡¯s right. When you gifted someone else yesterday, who was the one that crazily consoled Xiao Yan in the livestream?] [I recalled that, despite stream bosses having a vest, they shouldn¡¯t be able to turn on their mic to talk ba?] ¡°Others can¡¯t, but I can.¡± Yi Chen turned the conversation back to Yu Yan. ¡°He personally said so.¡± Yu Yan carefully thought about it, and it seemed that he had really said that. ¡°¡­ It¡¯s fine, you can talk ba.¡± Meanwhile, the girl next to Yu Yan continued praising him, ¡°Your marksmanship is really urate!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that the young man¡¯s lips were pursed, and the base of his ears were red; it was very conspicuous whenpared to the white headphones he was wearing. Her eyes brightened, and she immediately took out her cellphone: He blushed! The method worked! It¡¯s just that his reaction was a bit slow ah. I¡¯ve been praising him for so long that my mouth is dry. The other side quickly replied: As long as it worked. Next, you should invite him to y games together! Yu Yan turned around and entered the C-shaped building. It was obvious that there was more than one enemy in the building; most people would choose to hide in a room to ambush and kill enemies who entered. He unequipped his shoes and softened his footsteps. After he got upstairs, he used the vantage point at the top of the steps and looked out. Most of the rooms had open doors, so he couldn¡¯t judge which room was upied. Upon seeing this, for fear that he would disturb Yu Yan in the middle of the game, Yi Chen turned off his microphone without a second thought. He picked up the new list of personnel and flipped through it. Yu Yan waited for nearly ten seconds before he finally heard some very subtle footsteps. ¡°Little Gege, can we y games together after?¡± the person him beside him suddenly said. ¡°I don¡¯t know how to y the one that you¡¯re ying, but I really want to learn.¡± The girl¡¯s voice wasn¡¯t actually loud, but it still affected Yu Yan¡¯s ability to listen to the footsteps. ¡°Wait a bit.¡± As he tossed this sentence out, he moved his in-game character to the second room in front of him. [Not here, it¡¯s quite far away.] [It¡¯s not far away. It¡¯s just that others are moving while crouched so the footsteps are lighter.] [The person beside him is so noisy ah. If I met this kind of person while I was ying a game, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to endure for so long!] Yu Yan rushed into the room with his gun raised. At a nce, he didn¡¯t see anyone; his heart thumped&#k2014;it¡¯s over. Sure enough, just as he was about to jump out of the window, there was a deadly gunshot behind him. Obviously, the enemy was also very powerful. He was knocked down without any chance of fighting back. The loss interface popped up, and heughed, ¡°Misjudged it, they were actually on the opposite side.¡± Saying that, he took off his headphones, turned his head and softly asked, ¡°What did you say just now?¡± ¡°Ah¡­¡± The girl met his gaze and only now discovered his most appealing feature. She really couldn¡¯t endure him gazing at her. She blurted out, ¡°I just said¡­ Can we add each other on WeChat?¡± Yi Chen briefly stopped looking through the documents. When he raised his eyes to the screen, he just happened to see the young man¡¯s eyebrows raise with his expression showing that he was at a loss. His eyebrows furrowed. What was there to hesitate about? A stranger that you met at an Inte cafe asked for your contact information as soon as you opened your mouth, one look and you could tell that they had impure intentions. Of course he should reject her. ¡°Is that okay?¡± The girl saw that Yu Yan wasn¡¯t responding, but didn¡¯t back down. ¡°I just want to be friends with you, I won¡¯t bother you frequently¡­ I¡¯ll scan you? Or, you can give me your WeChat ID directly, I¡¯ll search and add you!¡± Yu Yan hesitated for a moment but then took his cellphone out. ¡°That¡¯s fine, you can scan me ba.¡± [What¡¯s going on? Why are you just adding her WeChat? Is this the privilege of being the girl next door? I also want to add your WeChat!! Which Inte cafe are you at? Tell me the name, and I¡¯ll fly there right away!!!] [The anchor is so good-tempered? If it hadn¡¯t been for this girl¡¯s constant chattering, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have misjudged the footsteps.] [It depends on the girl¡¯s appearance. Based on Xiao Yan¡¯s attitude¡­ I bet she¡¯s fairly good-looking.] As soon as he added her WeChat, Yu Yan¡¯s cellphone intensely vibrated. The profile picture that he had previously unstickied from the top jumped back to the top of his WeChat. 1 had sent him an image. He opened it up, saw that it was a chat log. [Yi Ran: Ge, I was wrong. I was really wrong. I¡¯ll never use yourputer again! Yi Ran: Ge, why can¡¯t I use the card you gave me anymore? Yi Ran: [transferred 4000 yuan to you] Yi Ran: Ge, I¡¯ll double your gift money topensate you. Begging you to forgive this stupid Didi ba! This is thest of my savings! 1: [collected 4000.00 yuan] Yi Ran: !! Yi Ran: Ge, you forgive me?!! Yi Ran: Ge?? Ge???] Yu Yan seemed to be able to feel this Yi Ran¡¯s roller coaster of emotions through the screen. It turned out that 1 really hadn¡¯t given the gift. He blinked and tried to restrain the smile that was threatening to form, but in the end, he couldn¡¯t hold it back. He very carefully selected an emoticon and sent it as a reply. Although he didn¡¯t dare to express it, after knowing that 1 didn¡¯t send gifts to or watch anyone else¡¯s livestream, it was undeniable that he was really¡­ really happy ah. ¡°Your Moments are so clean; you don¡¯t even have a selfie.¡± The girl had quickly went through everything in Yu Yan¡¯s WeChat profile. ¡°It¡¯s such an outrage that you¡¯re so handsome but don¡¯t take selfies!¡± [Although I find this girl very annoying, her words are very reasonable.] [Your Weibo should be used for posting selfies, not to ask for leave. I¡¯m troubling you to thoroughly understand this.] Yu Yan replied, ¡°I don¡¯t take selfies.¡± The girlughed and evaluated him. ¡°A straight guy.¡± Yu Yan opened and closed his mouth a few times but didn¡¯t refute her words. He put his cellphone back into his pocket and continued livestreaming. After ying several rounds of solos, just as he had promised, he began to draw stream followers to y with. He yed squads for the entire afternoon until his stomach started to rumble. He had forgotten that he wasn¡¯t at home today, so he didn¡¯t have his scheduled takeout delivery here. The girl¡¯s two other friends had entered the private room and urged her to leave. ¡°Then little Gege, I¡¯ll go first.¡± Although Yu Yan didn¡¯t pay attention to her much throughout the afternoon, the girl¡¯s expression still showed her reluctance to leave. ¡°Let¡¯s chat some more on WeChat when we have the time.¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°Okay, goodbye.¡± The three girls lingered in the room for a long time before they finally left. The room became calm again, and Yu Yan felt relieved. As soon as he wanted to chat with his viewers, he saw a white line of text appear on the screen. [1 has left the stream.] He was caught by surprise and reflexively checked the time, thinking that it was time for the other party to get off of work. When he opened the takeout app, another line of text appeared. [Yanyan¡¯s Daddy has entered the stream.] This ID was so familiar that Yu Yan practically recognized it with a nce. Before he had any time to react, this ount began to incessantly¡ªspam him with gifts. [Yanyan¡¯s Daddy has sent out a Sea of Stars in yanxyan¡¯s livestream] [Yanyan¡¯s Daddy has sent out a Sea of Stars in yanxyan¡¯s livestream] ¡­ [¡­ What, are the Sea of Stars on sale today?] [What¡¯s going on? Who is this?] [Wtf, how many Sea of Stars did the anchor receive today? Are all his fans so loyal and rich??] [Whose daddy ran into the stream today to throw money around?] Others didn¡¯t know who this was, but Yu Yan knew ah. He quickly snapped out of it, opened WeChat, and sent 1 a message with countless question marks. 1: Not going to use the other ount anymore, I¡¯ll keep sending gifts on this ount until it bes a Guardian rank. Yu Yan: Guardian rank just needs 20,000 yuan. You¡¯ve almost sent 50,000 yuan! The other party didn¡¯t reply, and gifts continued to be sent. Yu Yan grew frantic and muted the livestream microphone before directly requesting a voice chat with 1. 1 epted the request very quickly. The man¡¯s voice was light. ¡°Willing to voice chat with me now?¡± The cellphone¡¯s speaker sound quality wasn¡¯t perfect like his earphones, but the poor sound quality gave 1¡¯s voice a hoarseness that just murdered Yu Yan. He took a few deep breaths before he managed to control his tone. ¡°¡­ Don¡¯t send anymore gifts. The tform will take half the profits, it¡¯s a big loss.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°You already have the Guardian rank.¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t stop gifting him. ¡°I¡¯m pushing down my previous ount¡¯s rank.¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t understand and asked, ¡°Why did you suddenly switch ounts?¡± ¡°Someone else¡¯s name is in the profile.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s tone was as usual. ¡°It¡¯s an eyesore.¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± His heart was beating so fast that the words of telling 1 to stop were stuck in his throat, and he was unable to say anything. Yi Chen saw that the person on the screen was foolishly holding onto his cellphone. Without the cover of his headphones, the pinkness in the tips of his ears were particrly prominent, making anyone who saw them want to take a bite. He stared at him for a long time, and his mouth curved up. That was more like it, this was the expression his face should disy. ¡°¡­ E-enough!¡± When 1¡¯s old ount dropped from first ce on the star gifts list, Yu Yan hurried to stop him. ¡°Your old ount has already been pushed down.¡± But Yi Chen still wasn¡¯t willing to stop smashing gifts yet. The money he had been using before on his 1 ount were funds set up by the website; he hadn¡¯t used his own money, so it didn¡¯t feel like anything to him. ¡°You¡¯re 70,000 poprity points away from the anchor in first ce. I¡¯ll spam gifts until you¡¯re ahead of him, and then I¡¯ll stop.¡± Yu Yan was stunned for a long time before he realized that 1 was referring to the real-time rankings of the Kills King of the Year award. The value of poprity points weren¡¯t equal to the yuan value of the gift amount. If Yu Yan wanted to surpassoshu, who was ranked number one at this moment, 1 would have to send at least 100,000 yuan worth of gifts. ¡°Don¡¯t spam gifts anymore,¡± Yu Yan reflexively blurted out. ¡°It¡¯s useless even if I do surpass him.¡± ¡°Why is it useless?¡± Yu Yan had revealed this, but 1 didn¡¯t seem to pay too much attention to the stuff that happened on the StarTV tform. Yu Yan hesitated a bit before truthfully answering, ¡°It¡¯s already been determined who the award will go to.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yi Chen paused and slowed down his gift sending actions a bit. ¡°Who said that? Which person has been selected?¡± ¡°It¡¯s the person who¡¯s currently number one right now.¡± Yi Chen nced at the ID at the top ranking person on the list and asked after a while, ¡°No one has reported this?¡± Yu Yan responded, ¡°It¡¯s useless to report it. This person¡­ has a big backer.¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows. ¡°How big?¡± ¡°Thest person who reported him has been cursed out to the point that they don¡¯t dare to stream anymore.¡± When Yu Yan finished saying this, he saw that he was still receiving gifts in his stream. He grew anxious. ¡°Why are you still sending gifts?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Yi Chen got tired of clicking so he directly adjusted the gift amount and sent out 100,000 yuan at once. With this 100,000 yuan gift and therge audience, who was attracted by the gift giving,pletely spamming the barrage, Yu Yan not only sessfully jumped to first ce for the Kills King of the Year award, but also had 30,000 poprity points overoshu now. ¡°You can just sit there in first ce¡­ I want to see who dares to use insider schemes to take you down.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Isn¡¯t it great having the big boss as your backer, Yanyan? Boss Yi: His ears are so pink, anyone would want to take a bite out of them. Me: Pretty sure that¡¯s mostly just you, Boss Yi. (How are you both this oblivious and so thirsty) Divi: Yanyan got the biggest backer, things are gonna start changing in StarTV¡­ Maybe. Did you notice, Boss Yi¡¯s first ount (1) had everything supplied to him by thepany, but his new ount Yanyan¡¯s daddy is using all of his own money. He just spent like 150,000 yuan on Yanyan (21.2k USD). Woweeeee. Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! And there¡¯s an audio drama for PUBG that came out! It¡¯s more condensed than the novel, but it¡¯s fun!Please check out and support the raws if you can! Chapter 50 - Scammers nowadays are too vile Chapter 50 - Scammers nowadays are too vile Edited by Divetus and Noks The person involved was dumbfounded, so it was needless to say that all the uninformed viewers were also dumbfounded. [Surpassed! Surpassedoshu!! Holy shit, are all new anchors this belligerent?] [Hey wait¡­ what¡¯s going on ah? Boss 1 got forced down from the rankings right after he left the stream?? I¡¯m not allowing it!!] [Yanyan¡¯s Daddy? Why do I think this name sounds weird¡­ Yanyan¡¯s Daddy? First warning for insulting the anchor¡¯s family!] [If you don¡¯t vote, I won¡¯t vote, so when will Xiao Yan rise above?! Sending out a little star! Go, crush and kill the shady anchoroshu!!] [You¡¯re all hrious.oshu fans weren¡¯t smashing any gifts because the rankings were stable, okay? In a bit, this anchor will be pressed down again. Don¡¯t get so excited, you guys all look so unsightly.] As the number of viewers in the stream slowly rose, the number of antis did too. Since a fullscreen chat ban would stop the entire barrage chat, thus reducing poprity points, the small stream moderator decided to be diligent by banning people one by one. Yu Yan had never received so many gifts. From the other end of the call, he heard a knock on the door shortly followed by an unfamiliar female voice. ¡°President Yi, this is a hard copy of today¡¯s meeting minutes. I¡¯ve sent the electronic document to your email, and¡­¡± ¡°Noted.¡± Yi Chen interrupted her. He narrowed his eyes and looked down at the ongoing voice call on his phone. ¡°I still have things to do here. I¡¯m hanging up first, have a good stream.¡± ¡°¡­ Okay.¡± Yu Yan replied and then hurriedly added, ¡°Let¡¯s talk again at night!¡± Yi Chenughed and let out an ¡°en¡± sound. The secretary held the documents tightly as her eyes almost overflowed with curiosity bubbling up from her heart. Although she maintained a high level of professionalism, gossip was a woman¡¯s nature. She had been working for this big boss for three years, and during this time, it wasn¡¯t like she had never been attracted to him. However, it had already been a long time¡­ those feelings were already long gone. She had seen many peoplee and go, someone stepping up as soon as another fell, but not a single person had ever seeded. But now, she was met with the sight of her boss smiling andughing with someone¡­ while on a voice call? Yi Chen ended the call and his smile almost instantly disappeared. ¡°You can continue.¡± The secretary quickly gathered her thoughts and staidly read out the dinner invitations that Yi Chen had received today. Not only were his business partners on the list of names, it also contained names of brokers, little flowers of the entertainment circle, directors¡­ Recently, the Yida Group had announced its intentions to enter the entertainment industry. Within a few days after this news was released, an endless stream of visitors was seen. While the secretary reported the received invitations, Yi Chen¡¯s eyes still remained on theputer screen next to him. The young man said something that Yi Chen couldn¡¯t discern and then directly implemented a fullscreen chat ban. He then conscientiously continued ying the game, not concerned about anything else. Yi Chen lightly flicked his index finger and was mentally filtering through the dinner party invitations when his cellphone dinged. Mo Nancheng: Are you free tonight? Let¡¯s have dinner together, I found a delicious restaurant. He nced at the message indifferently and was just about to ignore it when he suddenly thought of something. After a while, he said, ¡°Refuse them all. I have an appointment tonight.¡± The secretary nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± In a French restaurant, two well-dressed and tall men amiably sat together. ¡°How is it, the steak is pretty good ba?¡± Mo Nancheng asked with a smile. Yi Chen tried a bit and generously evaluated the taste. ¡°En.¡± Mo Nancheng gloated, ¡°I specifically invited this chef through much persuasion.¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows. ¡°Did you open this restaurant?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t really be considered to be that,¡± Mo Nancheng replied. ¡°I opened it for Xiaomin.¡± Yi Chen asked, ¡°That female DJ?¡± ¡°No,¡± Mo Nancheng frowned. ¡°You don¡¯t even know Xiaomin? She¡¯s extremely popr this year; I had to chase her for half a month before I caught her.¡± Chasing her for half a month, then what was going on with that female DJ? When Mo Nancheng mentioned this, Yi Chen finally vaguely recalled that Xiaomin was on the shortlist for the female lead role in one of hispany¡¯s film projects. Yi Chen took a sip of red wine. ¡°Are you not afraid of retribution?¡± ¡°Why should I get retribution?¡± Mo Nancheng knew what Yi Chen was referring to andughed. ¡°Besides, we weren¡¯t together before. Whatever I did before isn¡¯t Xiaomin¡¯s business ah.¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t waste any words on him. He had refused so many dinner invitations toe here, and it wasn¡¯t just to listen to Mo Nancheng talk about his messy affairs. ¡°Usually, you¡­¡± He pondered over the sentence before asking, ¡°How do you deal with people who like you?¡± Mo Nancheng was taken aback for a moment beforeughing. ¡°What do you mean ah? There are so many people that like me, how do you think I deal with them?¡± Yi Chen nced at him lightly, and Mo Nancheng finally understood. Mo Nancheng replied, ¡°Then, it depends on how I feel about her ah.¡± Mo Nancheng leaned forward and asked, ¡°Have you two done it?¡± Yi Chen¡¯s eyebrows furrowed. ¡°No.¡± Mo Nancheng naturally thought that since they hadn¡¯t done it, then Yi Chen definitely didn¡¯t like that person. He was very experienced in this area, so he said, ¡°The first step is to never reply to her messages.¡± Yi Chen: ¡°?¡± Mo Nancheng continued, ¡°But, you shouldn¡¯tpletely stop replying ah.¡± In terms of admirers, it was always better to have one more than one less. Anyway, one was willing to give a beating while the other was willing to take it; no one could be med, so it was more beneficial to hang onto the person. ¡°You should reply to her messages about once every three days ba. Say hello, casually write a few words and then continue giving her the cold-shoulder.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yi Chen had aplex expression on his face. ¡°I meant, if you want to continue being friends with that person.¡± ¡°Friend?¡± Mo Nancheng scoffed. ¡°Who¡¯s short on friends these days ah?¡± Yi Chen gave up. ¡°Forget it.¡± He shouldn¡¯t havee to ask Mo Nancheng about this. Mo Nancheng thought about it and then clearly understood. ¡°You don¡¯t like him that way, but you also don¡¯t want to give him the cold-shoulder?¡± Yi Chen raised his eyes. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Well ah, this problem is easy to deal with.¡± Mo Nanchengughed, snapped his fingers, andid out his well thought out n for such situations. ¡°Just do it once with him.¡± Yi Chen: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Really ah. Right now, you still find him fresh. Once you¡¯ve obtained him, you¡¯ll be cured of these feelings.¡± Yi Chen frowned and stared at him for a long time. He had a disdainful expression on his face as he concluded, ¡°You¡¯re a real bastard.¡± Ultimately, he realized that such a description still wasn¡¯t enough, so he coldly added, ¡°g man.¡± Mo Nancheng: ¡°¡­¡± Mo Nancheng: ¡°?¡± ¡ª That night, Yu Yan had just returned home when the group chat called ¡°1YanTang¡± initiated a voice chat. As soon as he entered the chat, he heard Lulu exim, ¡°Xiao Yan, you¡¯re too awesome. Quickly let me touch some of that luckiness; I also want to meet a big boss!¡± Yu Yan tactfully reminded her, ¡°Your stream has eight Guardians.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you see how many years I¡¯ve been livestreaming for? It¡¯s been so many years yet I only have eight Guardians, which is nothing to boast about.¡± Lulu asked, ¡°How did Yanyan¡¯s Daddye about?¡± Tuantuan said, ¡°Hey, they even pushed 1 down. We don¡¯t know if 1 will try to climb back up tomorrow; just thinking about it is so exciting!¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°He won¡¯t.¡± ¡°How can you be sure of that? I can tell from Boss 1¡¯s face that he¡¯s the type of man who refuses to lose!¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Where did you see his face?¡± ¡°In my heart.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Is Yanyan¡¯s Daddy here to push your rank up to make you the Kills King of the Year?¡± Tuantuan asked, ¡°I saw that he stopped spamming gifts after you got first ce.¡± There wasn¡¯t anything to hide here, so Yu Yan nodded. ¡°En¡± ¡°Tch, what a waste.¡± Tuantuan said, ¡°You shouldn¡¯t have participated in the Kills King of the Year title; that kind of small award doesn¡¯t suit you at all. If you were participating in the Best Anchor of the Yearpetition, maybe that boss would¡¯ve been ruthless and made you number one there.¡± When he heard that, Yu Yan couldn¡¯t help but open the StarTV app to nce at the Best Anchor of the Yearpetition statistics. The anchor in first ce was a retired LoL pro. His poprity points were¡­ 7 million. Yu Yan thought that he had misread it. He re-read it three times. It really was seven digits. What stage of thepetition was it ah? To think that someone already had 7 million poprity points?? Although he knew it was impossible, Yu Yan couldn¡¯t help but consider the idea. If 1 really got him to be the ranked one in the Best Anchor of the Yearpetition¡­ Yu Yan quickly withdrew the idea; if that was the case, even his life wouldn¡¯t be enough to pay 1 back with. ¡°Xiao Yan, since yourputer is gone,e y some mobile games with us?¡± Tuantuan asked. ¡°I¡¯m a hundred times better at PUBG Mobile than the real version. I can absolutely carry you.¡± Yu Yan had never yed PUBG Mobile before, so when he heard that, he was actually kind of interested. ¡°Okay¡­¡± Before he had finished speaking, a message notification popped up at the top of his phone. [1: At home?] ¡°¡­ but it¡¯ste.¡± The words he was about to say took a big turn in his mouth. ¡°I still have to go to the Inte cafe tomorrow, next time ba.¡± He then quickly left the group voice chat and flipped over to WeChat. Little Anchor: En, just got home. 1: Oh. Do you want to see the cat today? Yi Chen held both his cellphone and the cat. He thought that if the little anchor refused again, then he would probably release the cat soon. He watched as the other party¡¯s side disyed the ¡®typing¡¯ notification for two minutes. Little Anchor: ¡­ Want to see. Yi Chen¡¯s knit brows rxed. That was more like it. The video call connected, and Yu Yan, as usual, snuck a peek at what was behind the cat. He found that the man tonight wasn¡¯t the same as he had been in the previous calls; he was no longer dressed in a tailored suit. Right now, he wore dark blue pajamas and had the sleeves of the top slightly rolled up, thereby showing the strong arms holding the cat. Yu Yan quickly took his gaze back and said, ¡°I¡¯ll pay you 20,000 back first¡­ As for the rest, I¡¯ll return it to you after I get my sry. It is paid to me at the end of the month. Is that okay?¡± ¡°Return what?¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you before? Just keep whatever I give you.¡± ¡°Yes, but this time it¡¯s too much,¡± Yu Yan said. ¡°¡­ If I keep it, then I¡¯ll be flustered.¡± ¡°Then be flustered.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± ¡°You have to remember how good I am to you.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°That way, if you don¡¯t pay attention to me in the future, you¡¯ll have an uneasy conscience.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yi Chenughed and kneaded the cat¡¯s ears. He had already thought it through. If the little anchor liked him, then he could just continue liking him ba. In any case, Yi Chen wouldn¡¯t treat him badly. It was fine even if the little anchor wanted to like him for his entire lifetime. The money transfer request had already been sent. Yi Chen refused it and leisurely asked, ¡°Will yourputer be back tomorrow?¡± ¡°¡­ It¡¯ll be back the day after tomorrow.¡± ¡°Then what about tomorrow?¡± ¡°Will keep going to the Inte cafe ba.¡± Going to the Inte cafe again? Thinking of that young girl who kept pestering him at that Inte cafe, Yi Chen pulled open a drawer, found the documents he had brought back from thepany and flipped through several pages before finding the required information. He checked the address on the document, but his eyes wandered to a certain information box and his eyebrows raised. The next day, Yu Yan was awakened by a knock on his door. He squinted at the time¡ªit was only eight in the morning. He rubbed his eyes while opening the door and looked suspiciously at the deliveryman who was holding a big box in front of him. ¡°¡­ What¡¯s this?¡± ¡°Hello, congrattions on winning ourpany¡¯s grand prize.¡± The delivery-man said while smiling, ¡°This is the prize¡ªa PC with super high specifications. Please sign for it.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan was stunned and looked at him warily. He waved his hand in dismissal. ¡°I didn¡¯t take part in any lotteries. You¡¯ve delivered this to the wrong person ba.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no mistake. You¡¯ve bought ourpany¡¯s products before and entered the lottery list by default.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°When I purchase things, I examine the details carefully; there weren¡¯t any lottery links. Please leave ba.¡± ¡°But this¡­¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t listen any more and directly closed the door, blocking both the delivery-man andputer outside. Little Anchor: How could meat pies just fall from the sky? It¡¯s definitely a scam. Yi Chen, who had just heard that the PC was returned: ¡­ What if you really won something? Little Anchor: No way. After using it for two days, I¡¯d definitely be billed for it. Fortunately, I was the target. If it was some old person living alone, they really might have fallen for it. Little Anchor: Scammers nowadays are too vile! 1: ¡­ ¡ª Juurensha: Waaaah, Boss Yi, you¡¯re saying stuff like, ¡®he can like me all his life, that¡¯s fine¡¯ and you still don¡¯t think you like him??? Also hahaha secret sugar daddy scheme foiled by Yanyan being too suspicious. And Mo Nancheng is such a fuckboi, although I guess at least he¡¯s very epting of his best friend being gay. Divi: Yi Chen and XHZ (from GHFOD) are the same. They¡¯re both like ¡°it¡¯s better if they like me, since I¡¯m so good¡± LMAO. Honestly though, everyone would be super suspicious about that PC being delivered right? Mo Nancheng, such a g man, but at least he keyed into Yi Chen talking about a male. And some slightly spicy fanart from lemonmangosteen: Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! And there¡¯s an audio drama for PUBG that came out! It¡¯s more condensed than the novel, but it¡¯s fun!Please check out and support the raws if you can! Chapter Ch51.1 - His fans couldn’t be wronged Chapter Ch51.1 - His fans couldn¡¯t be wronged Edited by Divetus and Noks After rejecting theputer delivery, Yu Yan felt that he had nothing to do at home anyway, so he put his cellphone into his pocket and left for the Inte cafe early. On the bus, his cellphone kept vibrating. The notifications for the ¡°1YanTang¡± group chat had reached 99+. Tuantuan: Why do I think your information is very reliable? I sent a message to the administrator, and he hasn¡¯t replied to me even after half an hour has passed. This person probably had me on special notifications before, because every time I sent a message, I¡¯d get a reply back in a second. Lulu: Please, when has my information ever been wrong? Didn¡¯t you notice that the real-time ranking list is frozen right now? The numbers don¡¯t update when gifts are sent. Sheepy: It has changed though, my poprity points have decreased. Tuantuan: They can decrease?? What kind of maniption is this? Sheepy: Don¡¯t know but I don¡¯t intend to care about it. It can do whatever it pleases ba. Yu Yan just realized that everyone¡¯s messages in the group chat seemed to be making the same remarks. Tuantuan: Holy shit, but mine didn¡¯t go down ah¡­. Tuantuan: !!! Xiao Yan¡¯s poprity points [email protected]! It decreased a lot wtf!! He had originally wanted to just scroll through the chat log; he hadn¡¯t expected to see his name being mentioned. Yu Yan started typing and sent out a question mark. Yu Yan: I just saw these messages. What are you guys talking about? Tuantuan: Lulu said that today StarTV is doing a big reorganization with a focus onbating data fraud and underhandedpetition tactics. Right now, all the administrators are away, so they¡¯re probably all in a meeting¡­ Where are you? When are you going to turn on aputer? Your poprity points in the anchorpetition have decreased by more than 200,000¡­ Yu Yan was stunned and replied: I¡¯m almost at the Inte cafe. He opened the StarTV app with his cellphone, and sure enough, his poprity points had decreased by over 200,000, returning to number they were yesterday. He calcted in his heart. It seemed that¡­ the amount of poprity points removed was exactly the same amount he had gotten from 1¡¯s gift spams. He pursed his lips and opened the chat with Administrator 03. At the top of his profile was a status indicator that said ¡°Away¡±. He suddenly remembered that he still hadn¡¯t asked the administrator about the matter of his stream notice being removed. Since the notice wasn¡¯t much of a deal to him, he had forgotten all about it. yanxyan: Are you there? My anchorpetition poprity points have directly decreased by 200,000. Can I ask if the system has been frozen? A secondter, he received an automatic reply from the other side, which was sent when someone was away. He frowned and continued asking. Yanxyan: Also, did the previous notice have a time limit? Why did it suddenly disappear? Yu Yan still hadn¡¯t received a reply from Administrator 03 by the time he arrived at the Inte cafe. He hesitated for a moment but didn¡¯t rush to start his livestream. Instead, he went to check the other anchors¡¯ livestreams. The first stream he checked on wasoshu¡¯s. His numbers had also decreased, but they had only dropped a little more than 100,000. His rank had surpassed Yu Yan¡¯s again, and he was now back on top. After thinking about it, Yu Yan went to check on banana¡¯s livestream and found that banana¡¯s poprity points hadn¡¯t decreased at all, and instead had even surpassed the number one LoL anchor¡¯s poprity points. Although his reason for participating in thepetition was purely for the chance of being on the rmended lists on the homepage, anyone who lost 200,000 poprity points would grow frantic. During the first half hour of his livestream, he didn¡¯t speak very much. He also repeatedly refreshed his livestream page on the StarTV mobile app to see if the points bug had been resolved. [What¡¯s wrong with Xiao Yan today? He keeps looking at his cellphone.] [Why did his anchorpetition points fall back to 270,000? I remember that it was almost at 500,000 yesterday?] [I¡¯ll fill you in. StarTV has been in the midst of a reorganization in the past two days. This anchor¡¯s numbers were falsified and were thus cleared up by the staff! This stinking anchor has definitely been given judgement.] [Is something wrong with the previous person? You think that an internal staff reorganization means an anchor reorganization? Was an announcement made? Where did this newse from? It turns out that antis just rely on their mouths?] [Is it really true? Were his numbers really faked? Why ah? Just his livestream content could obviously attract people¡­] ¡°Nothing was falsified.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Maybe it¡¯s a tform bug; a lot of anchors¡¯ poprity points have decreased.¡± As he said that, he finished off a match. He went back to the game lobby to start his next match. But then he received a team invitation from Lu Xiuhe. Yu Yan clicked and epted the invitation. As soon as he saw Lu Xiuhe¡¯s character appear, Yu Yan asked, ¡°Not ying LoL today?¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Sigh, don¡¯t mention it. I¡¯m sad.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°I quarreled with her.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°I felt shitty the entire night. I wasn¡¯t able to fall asleep at all, so I just got up to y games, but I feel kind of sad when I log into LoL¡­¡± Yu Yan wasn¡¯t too interested in his friend¡¯s personal affairs. He simply let out an ¡°en¡± and asked, ¡°Queue into Miramar?¡± ¡°Anything is good.¡± Lu Xiuhe urgently needed someone to rant to, so he poured out hisints without being asked. ¡°When we were chattingst night, we started talking about exes¡­ and she sent me a picture of her ex. Hey, I didn¡¯t want to admit it, but that bastard was kind of hot! He looked pretty tall and a lot like a male idol.¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°But tell me man, how could I directly praise my love rival?¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°So Laozi made it his mission to curse him out. I criticized her ex from the beginning to the end; from the top of that t cap to the bottom of that lousy pair of AJs.¡± ¡°Who would¡¯ve guessed that right after I finished cursing him out, she just ended up turning against me! She still doesn¡¯t want to talk to me right now!! I¡¯ve already apologized all night long!!!¡± Carrying a shotgun and an AK-47, Yu Yan swept across the boxing gym and asked, ¡°Have you found a gun yet? There¡¯s a SCAR-L where I am.¡± ¡°I have a gun.¡± Lu Xiuhe wasn¡¯t deterred from talking by the game at all and asked, ¡°Xiao Yan, do you think she still likes her ex ah? If so, then what am I considered ya?¡± ¡°¡­I don¡¯t know,¡± Yu Yan replied. ¡°I really like her a lot. Although she¡¯s always cold and indifferent when we chat, I can tell through her in-game actions that she really cares about me¡­ Just a very tsundere girl.¡± Yu Yan paused, and his curiosity was finally aroused. ¡°What kind of in-game actions?¡± [Xiao Yanyan¡¯s emotion ss has begun !] [Why do I find the anchor¡¯s friend soical¡­?] [I¡¯ll tell you the problem¡ªyou¡¯re probably not as rich as their ex!] ¡°There¡¯s a lot! shing to block attacks for me, or shing to heal me. She acts so cold and indifferent, but she¡¯ll even quarrel with teammates for me.¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t that just normal gamey?¡± ¡°How is it normal ?!¡± Lu Xiuhe blurted out, ¡°It¡¯s just like when you go out of your way to pick 1 up, or when you drop something for him but it¡¯s the M24, and even risking death by going outside the circle just to pick 1 up¡­¡± ¡°?!¡± [Wtf bro, I suddenly feel like you have a point!] [One look and you can tell this rtionship isn¡¯t pure!!] [If someone treated me like that, sigh, even I would absolutely marry the anchor.] Yu Yan became anxious, afraid that his shameful little desires would be revealed. ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. 1¡¯s a novice, that¡¯s why I would take care of him more.¡± Lu Xiuhe let out an ¡°oh¡± and replied, ¡°Then, I¡¯m also a noob. Give me the 98K on your back bei.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan opened his inventory and repeatedly looked at the 98K equipped with the 8x scope that he had just found. He hesitated for a full half a minute. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Alright I¡¯ll give it¡­ you cane and get it.¡± [???] [Why do I feel like you¡¯re really burying your head in the sand here?!] [You can cover it up, but there¡¯s no point.] ¡°Forget it, you keep it ba.¡± Lu Xiuhe sighed, ¡°I¡¯m in a really bad mood right now, can¡¯t y well.¡± Yu Yan was relieved and hurriedly picked up the 98K that he had just dropped on the ground, fearing that Lu Xiuhe would change his mind. Lu Xiuhe could be considered self-aware. His maneuvers were much slower than usual, and he only managed to get out of the boxing gym with great difficulty by relying on Yu Yan. But then in the blink of an eye, he got headshotted by the person in the opposite building and was killed off before he could react. They had queued into duos, so now Yu Yan was left alone. Currently, those stream followers who had piled their bets on ¡®Can eat chicken¡¯ weren¡¯t happy, and joked that they would make Lu Xiuhepensate them for their beans. Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s my fault, you can me me. I didn¡¯t see the enemy there, but I won¡¯tpensate any beans.¡± ¡°No problem.¡± Yu Yan hid in the building beside him, used a painkiller, and took some time to look at the barrage. ¡°When I duo with him, I always just y as if I¡¯m in solos. He didn¡¯t make a big mistake¡­ it¡¯s his normal performance. You guys can just bet your beans as usual, eating chicken has always been a matter of fate.¡± Lu Xiuhe: ¡°?¡± Although he knew that Yu Yan was speaking up for him, why did he feel like it just didn¡¯t sound right?? At the same time, the management of the StarTV subsidiary was holding an emergency private meeting. They had suddenly received news yesterday that the big boss was going to start investigating the little schemes that went on between StarTV administrators and anchors. As soon as they heard this, the majority of StarTV¡¯s management panicked¡ªprivately cooperating with an anchor not only allowed them to earn money, it also made their own performance look better. Most people couldn¡¯t resist this kind of temptation. But they were just panicking, it wasn¡¯t as if the sky had copsed yet. After all, their leader, the StarTV division manager, had also done a lot of dirty things in private. If the people at the top really wanted to settle ounts, they would still be slightly dyed in getting to them. The meeting went on for several hours until the StarTV division manager finally made a decision¡ªcarefully check each anchor¡¯s data. After screening the data, clear out all suspicious numbers and then deal with this surprise inspection first before doing anything else. After the meeting concluded, everyone but two people left the office. Administrator 03 waited for everyone else to leave before asking with a frightened expression. ¡°Ge, what should we do now? We won¡¯t be found out, ba?¡± ¡°No, so don¡¯t panic,¡± the division manager replied. ¡°If it was really that big of a deal, why would they let me be the one to inspect everything? When the timees, I¡¯ll just write whatever in my report. Once I hand it in, won¡¯t all this be over?¡± Administrator 03 was relieved when he heard those words. ¡°You¡¯re right¡­¡± ¡°But this situation gave me a wake-up call. The mainpany is starting to manage the tform now, so we should be more careful with our actions in the future.¡± The division manager pondered for a moment before saying, ¡°After the anchorpetition ends, go and tell banana to not be too showy during this period of time and that we¡¯ll be basing the homepage on actual real-time data.¡± ¡°No problem. banana is popr now, so even if we don¡¯t do anything, he should still be able to get onto the homepage, you can rest assured.¡± Administrator 03 finished saying that but then paused. ¡°It¡¯s just, what about his distant rtive¡­?¡± ¡°Just leave that guy alone.¡± The division manager frowned. ¡°But, banana just sent me a message asking us to find a way to protect him.¡± Administrator 03 said, ¡°Thatoshu is actually a diamond in the rough, and we promised to give him the Kills King of the Year award. If we take it back now¡­ that wouldn¡¯t be too good, would it?¡± The division manager frowned. ¡°That award ah¡­ I forgot all about it. If he wants that dumb little award, then just give it to him ba. I remember that the gap between him and second ce was pretty big ah?¡± ¡°Got overtaken yesterday,¡± Administrator 03 whispered, ¡°By that yanxyan.¡± The division manager¡¯s expression grewplex. ¡°¡­ How did he also get mixed into this?¡± That anchor was very popr with the big boss, and they had all taken note of that in their minds. ¡°Actually¡­¡± When Administrator 03 saw the division manager¡¯s silence, he said, ¡°Just before I came here, I decreased yanxyan¡¯s numbers.¡± The division manager was stunned and reflexively asked, ¡°Are you crazy? Why did you have to go and mess with him?¡± Administrator 03 replied, ¡°No, don¡¯t worry. Listen to me, yanyanx received more than a dozen gifts that totalled up to more than 200,000 points from a side ount. If he asks me about it, I could just say that it¡¯s a background system error and can¡¯t be restored.¡± The division manager asked, ¡°Would he really ept that 200,000 points disappeared just like that?¡± ¡°I have observed that this anchor is very easily persuaded.¡± Administrator 03 continued, ¡°I¡¯ll think of some type ofpensation to give him and it¡¯ll definitely be fine! What¡¯s more, that ount that we gave to the mainpany before may not always be used by President Yi. President Yi is usually so busy ah, how could he run over to that livestream to hang out every day?¡± The division manager thought that sounded reasonable. After a long time, he hesitantly let out a breath. ¡°¡­ Alright then.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Manager and Admin 03, you guys forget that while Boss Yi is busy, he has literally no other hobbies other than his new gaming buddy. And I feel like LXH is tsundere-sexual hahaha. Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! And there¡¯s an audio drama for PUBG that came out! It¡¯s more condensed than the novel, but it¡¯s fun! Chapter Ch51.2 - His fans couldnt be wronged Chapter Ch51.2 - His fans couldn¡¯t be wronged Edited by Noks When Yu Yan got the administrator¡¯s message, he had just eaten some chicken butt. Couldn¡¯t help it, the opponents were an intact duo team with two level 3 helmets equipped, and they yed very carefully. By the time he knocked one of them down, his health bar had already turned red. In the barrage, Lu Xiuhe was still getting med for the loss. Lu Xiuhe kept agreeing and nodding, taking responsibility for everything, even boisterously chatting with the stream followers. Yu Yanughed. Just before the next match, he saw his private chat box flickering. Administrator 03: The time limit of the notice was one week. This sentence was seen by his stream followers, and the barrage immediately became noisy. [I told you so bal! Time has passed, it¡¯s not a bug, do those antis¡¯ faces ache?] [Next time I¡¯ll see who still dares to say that my baby son is running cheat software!] Yu Yan picked up his cellphone and decided to use the app to talk to the administrator. yanxyan: Then what about the 200,000 poprity points? Administrator 03: Yes. Our tform is in the process of rectification recently, aimed at cleaning up falsified numbers. yanxyan: ? yanxyan: My numbers were not falsified, it was a one-off vote from my fans yesterday. You can check it in the logs. Those big anchors all had their own loyal fans, with the number one most popr LOL anchor even having fans who had invested millions in gifts. These were all normal operations and could never be called falsified numbers. Administrator 03: We checked, and that ount is a side ount, and the ID is very simr to your own username. It¡¯s a suspicious ount. Yu Yan was stunned. What the administrator meant was that they suspected it was his own side ount? Administrator 03: But we just temporarily dropped your poprity points for thepetition. Your share of the gifts and the live room points will be preserved. yanxyan: For what reason did you drop mypetition poprity points? yanxyan: Saying that this is my own side ount, do you have any evidence? You¡¯re deciding that I have falsified data just because the names are simr? I don¡¯t ept this verdict. If you suspect it¡¯s my own side ount, you can check the IP addresses. Administrator 03: IP can¡¯t exin anything. What if someone else was helping you? Yu Yan held his cellphone, and the anger in his heart burst out. yanxyan: Either ways, I don¡¯t ept this. I think it¡¯s ridiculous for such a big live tform to create such a mess. Administrator 03: Don¡¯t get angry in a hurry, how¡¯s this ba. I¡¯ll direct your matter to my superiors to look at, but thepetition numbers probably can¡¯t be changed anymore¡­ However, if it¡¯s the system that has caused any problems, we will definitelypensate you ordingly. Administrator 03: There will be a full livestream of the entire anchor g at the end of this year. We can arrange more screen time and questions for you, which would be much better than this little Kills King of the Year award. Although he didn¡¯t know what the anchor g was, Yu Yan didn¡¯t even really think before replying. yanxyan: I don¡¯t care. yanxyyan: My fans voted for me with real money just to get me to first ce. For what reason did you just indiscriminately deduct their gifts? ording to you guys, how manyrge gifts did big anchors¡ªlike banana¡ªreceive in his stream these past few days? Why didn¡¯t you deduct his points? Besides, how can gift-giving be regarded as falsifying numbers? Only malicious tampering within the tform is called falsifying numbers. yanxyan: This is an insider scheme! It¡¯s ck-box backdoor dealing! yanxyan: Are you trying to seal my mouth with benefits? After receiving so many interrogative questions in a row, the administrator couldn¡¯t answer them for a long time. He didn¡¯t expect that the young man who was usually so easily persuaded would be so aggressive now, and that each and everyone of his sentences would jab at the main point. He had been busy all day today. After having spent a whole day worrying, he was already in a bad mood. Since he was being interrogated like this right now, he naturally wouldn¡¯t attempt to wait upon him. Administrator 03: Anyway, this is the result. If you cooperate well, I can still report your situation to see if I can obtain somepensation for you. If you don¡¯t cooperate, I can only deal with it ording to the normal procedures. Besides, if there was no problem with your numbers, why did the system decide that they were false? Yu Yan¡¯s whole face cooled after reading this message. [Xiao Yan, what¡¯s wrong? All of a sudden, you¡¯re not talking?] [His expression is a little strange. Docile then fierce, docile then fierce, hahaha.] [¡­ I see how hard he¡¯s typing on the phone, he¡¯s nearly punctured the screen ba.] ¡°I¡¯m fine, please wait for me for two minutes, everyone.¡± Yu Yan nced at the barrage andforted his stream followers. Then he continued typing. yanxyan: Since I¡¯m the person involved, of course, I will know if any of my numbers are falsified. You guys must give me a statement about this matter, either with evidence that I falsified the data or by giving me back my poprity points. I¡¯ll give you a day to deal with it. If my poprity points aren¡¯t back by tomorrow¡­. Yu Yan took a deep breath. yanxyan: Then let¡¯s see you guys on Weibo, we¡¯ll put everything on the table, and let everyone decide what¡¯s right or wrong together. After this sentence, he directly closed the chat, not intending to get into it further with the other party. At this point, his rtionship with the administrator could probably be counted as havingpletely broken down. A little anchor provoking the management of the tform¡ªjust by thinking about it, he could guess the consequences of it. Even if he really put the entire matter on Weibo, once the limelight shifted away from the topic, he would still end up having to work under the person he had used. At that time, he would be meat on the chopping block, and would be ughtered by others. However he thought about it, it just wasn¡¯t worth it. But however much he tried, he couldn¡¯t just swallow this matter down. He didn¡¯t care about thepetition, and he also didn¡¯t care about whether or not there was any insider dealing. He had never even thought about relying on the idea of fairness. But his fans couldn¡¯t be wronged. The poprity points that they had used real money to give him, others couldn¡¯t take them away by just saying so. ¡ª Yi Residence. Yi Chen sat at the table and ate the delicious food in front of him without saying a word. Family dinners were his least favorite asion. Those supporting branch rtives were too annoying, and their vering, greedy faces were too ugly. ¡°Eat more.¡± Mother Yi knew that he didn¡¯t like such asions and didn¡¯t put him in an awkward situation. ¡°Are you sleeping at the old residence tonight?¡± Yi Chen shook his head. ¡°No, need to go back.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll ask Aunt You to make some dumplings for youter, and you take them back.¡± Mother Yi got up. ¡°I¡¯ll go talk to your second aunt.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Yi Chen had only eaten a few mouthfuls and had already lost his appetite. He took out his cellphone and casually sent a message to the little anchor. 1: Livestreaming? y games togetherter? The other party was a little slow in replying. Little Anchor: ¡­.no. Little Anchor: There¡¯s no livestream today, let¡¯s y together next time ba. 1: Didn¡¯t you go to the Inte cafe? Little Anchor: No, the Inte cafe is too expensive, I can¡¯t afford to go. Little Anchor: ¡­Next time ba, okay? Yi Chenughed, and had just typed and sent an ¡°okay¡± when a familiar voice sounded out near his ear. ¡°Stream mod keep watch, do a full-screen ban all night ba.¡± As soon as he raised his eyebrows and looked around, he saw Yi Ran sitting behind him, holding his cellphone and paying close attention to a livestream. The volume was low, so he turned around and asked with uncertainty, ¡°What are you watching?¡± Yi Ran raised his head and replied, ¡°Watching Xiao Yan¡¯s livestream ah. He fought fiercely today, has already eaten several chickens¡­¡± Yi Chen frowned. Didn¡¯t he say he wasn¡¯t livestreaming? Yi Chen took out his cellphone and asked in an even tone, ¡°Is that so? Why did he turn on the full screen ban?¡± Yi Ran had already understood the situation from the barrage and replied hurriedly, ¡°Oh, so it¡¯s like this. He took part in an anchorpetition, and thenst night he received a gift of more than 200,000 yuan from a side ount, which gave him hundreds of thousands of poprity points. Today, the points were somehow cancelled by the tform, and a pile of antis have now appeared, who are saying that his numbers are fake, and are even posting information about that side ount, saying that he opened it¡­ Stuff like that.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Then his fans and the antis started tearing into each other, and the barrage turned into such aplete mess that even I couldn¡¯t watch it. So now he¡¯s just implementing a full screen ban.¡± Yi Ran realized that with every sentence he said, his Ge¡¯s face sank a bit more. ¡°Isn¡¯t it only 200,000 ma, aren¡¯t these administrators getting too excited over such a small thing ba?¡± Yi Ran said before he asked, ¡°Ge¡­ You didn¡¯t know about this?¡± After all, StarTV was one of theirpanies. With such a big thing happening, that little anchor actually didn¡¯te to find his Ge for help? He knew shit all. After a while, Yi Chen expressionlessly picked up the napkin on the table and wiped his mouth. Then he got up and said in a cool voice, ¡°I know now.¡± He picked up his cellphone and saw the emoticon that the little anchor had just sent. It was a little duck, smiling widely with an ¡°OK¡± in its mouth. However he looked at it, he found it irritating. ¡ª Juurensha: Nooooo Boss Yi don¡¯t get mad at Yanyan, he¡¯s probably trying to save you some trouble. Also, go Yanyan for standing up for himself! Noks: Boss Yi ising to the rescue! And Yi Ran is a brilliant wingman, even though he doesn¡¯t know he is one. Quick note guys: Divi broke her arm, so she may be out for awhile.

Edited by Noks Yu Yan got up really early. He left to get hisputer back and on the way, he opened his cellphone and nced at it. Administrator 03 still hadn¡¯t replied to the semi-threatening message he had sent yesterday, and hispetition poprity points were still at 270,000, like they had been yesterday. It seemed that the other side didn¡¯t take his threat seriously. That was also normal. After he returned homest night, he had thought through things carefully. What he had done was like trying to crush a stone with an egg, and he was the silly egg in that scenario. However, he wasn¡¯t impulsive. He had a contract with StarTV, on which his fixed sry was clearly stated. As long as he livestreamed for a specified length of time every month, the small amount of several thousand yuan he would earn was still enough to provide for food and clothing. He would just leave the rest of the matter forter. He was still young and had hands and feet. No matter how much underhanded trouble other people caused him, at least he wouldn¡¯t die of hunger. Carrying the PC home, he first tested the performance of theputer using other software to make sure that hisputer parts hadn¡¯t been stealthily reced with low quality ones by the shopkeeper. Then he opened Word, where he wrote the content for his Weibo post and edited it, before publishing it on Weibo. [yanxyan: Hello, everyone. I¡¯m an anchor of StarTV, and I need the help of Weibo in asking the management of StarTv to address some issues that I have encountered. Recently, our tformunched an anchorpetition that it is currently on-going. A fan tossed gifts worth more than 200,000 yuan to me, thereby adding more than 200,000 poprity points in thepetition for me. But yesterday, the tform, withoutmunicating or sending any notice to me, cancelled poprity points worth more than 200,000 yuan from my ount, with the reasoning that ¡°the ID of the ount that gave the gifts is suspected to be the anchor¡¯s own side ount.¡± In addition, I received no exnation from the administrator, nor did he show me any evidence before he directly dered my data to be falsified, which I don¡¯t think is reasonable. (The live tform allows fans to give gifts to their favorite hosts.) I tried tomunicate further on this issue with the administrator, but the other side said that the matter had been settled and could not be changed. Having no other choice, I can only rely on Weibo to ask all the other administrators besides StarTV¡¯s Administrator 03, is this situation reasonable or fair? Looking forward to your reply. @StarTV official blog] He screenshotted the entire chat record from yesterday, blurred out the names of the other anchors, and then posted it all at 10:00 am sharp. The length of his Weibo post was too long. At the beginning, his post received only a few likes, all of them from fans who had first just liked the post before they started reading it. It was only five minutester thatments on Weibo finally started to grow. Yu Yan took a bite of his youtiao and opened thements section to have a look. [What¡¯s the situation? Wasn¡¯t everything alright during the stream yesterday?? Who dares to bully our family¡¯s Xiao Yan!!] [You weren¡¯t in the stream roomst night were you ba? Last night¡¯s stream was simr to a battlefield. After eight o¡¯clock, there was a full-screen ban all night¡­ Supporting Xiao Yan¡¯s rights.] [StarTV¡¯s internal affairs are really messy. If it wasn¡¯t for their financier daddy¡¯s backing and money, even though they signed a bunch of big names a few years ago, by now it¡¯d all be over.] [¡°How manyrge gifts did big anchors¡ªlike XX¡­¡± Who is the person blurred out here? I bet it¡¯s banana.] [Antis, don¡¯t bite people while they are in trouble, OK? XX is Sheepy. Yesterday, Sheepy¡¯s poprity points also dropped. I saw it happen with my own eyes. Anyway, this new anchor has so much drama; previously he ran cheating software and got mmed for it, and now he is scolding the tform¡ªhe keeps forcing more issues.] Yu Yan didn¡¯t read anymorements after the first few. He finished his breakfast in a few bites and was about to start livestreaming when Lu Xiuhe¡¯s phone call arrived. ¡°Bro, if you¡¯ve been kidnapped, give me a squeak.¡± Yu Yanughed, ¡°Squeak.¡± ¡°You¡¯re still in the mood to joke!¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Why did you go and post on Weibo without saying a word ah? What matter exists that can¡¯t be solved through a good discussion¡­ Besides, even if we can¡¯tmunicate properly, there¡¯s no need to quarrel with the tform ah! What will you do in the future?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be fine, it¡¯ll be okay, you don¡¯t have to worry about it.¡± Yu Yan asked him, ¡°Did you pass thest exam?¡± ¡°¡­we were chatting so happily, why bring that up?¡± Lu Xiuhe asked in a dull tone. ¡°Hanging up now.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, you can still take the make-up exam. Then do you want to y games today?¡± Hearing this, Lu Xiuhe¡¯s tone floated up as he said, ¡°ying, but I¡¯m going to go y LoL. I made up with my baby, and she said she doesn¡¯t like her ex anymore, she only likes me. Hehe!¡± Recently, as soon as they started chatting, they would always end up chatting about Lu Xiuhe¡¯s online partner. Yu Yan chuckled. Anyway, it wasn¡¯t time for the livestream to start, so he cooperated and asked, ¡°Where is she from?¡± ¡°From Jincheng.¡± Lu Xiuheughed more happily. ¡°I told her I would go to see her at the end of the year!¡± 1 was also from Jincheng. Yu Yan was stunned, and he didn¡¯t know why this thought had suddenly appeared in his head. Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Okay, we¡¯ve gotten off-topic¡­ Did you get a reply from them ah? I can see that it¡¯s gotten forwarded more than a thousand times, and even several e-sports bloggers have forwarded it.¡± ¡°No.¡± Lu Xiuheforted him, ¡°Then just keep waiting? I think if this situation blows up, the officials will have toe out, or else who knows what they are doing with this anchorpetition.¡± Yu Yan said ¡°okay¡±, and then they said a few words to each other before hanging up. During the few minutes their conversation took, his cellphone had be stuffed full with messages, all of which were sent by Tuantuan and Lulu. The contents of these messages were about the same as what Lu Xiuhe had spoken about¡ªthey were all worrying about him. He replied to each of them one by one and then found that the group chat that he had blocked kept lighting up. There were many people typing and joining in the fun, and this message had already been pushed to the top of the chat. Tuantuan: Where did he nder banana? You point it out and I¡¯ll see. yanxyan: oshu, you have x-ray vision and can see banana¡¯s name through the blur, right? yanxyan: Where did you see the whole chat record? I didn¡¯t send the chat record anywhere else except for Weibo, which means that Administrator 03 specially sent you the chat record between me and him? Then you guys really have a good rtionship. As soon as those words appeared on the group chat, the crowd immediately grew quiet, and the other anchors didn¡¯t try to join in the drama anymore. Everyone could clearly see that banana had some connections, but they had no evidence nor the courage to say so. Although they didn¡¯t say anything, that didn¡¯t mean they didn¡¯t look down upon banana. yanxyan: oshu, and even if I¡¯m talking about your banana Ge, if he isn¡¯t admitting it anding to find me, then what does it have to do with you? You¡¯ve be obsessed with being his little Di? Sheepy: Hahaha. People watching the show didn¡¯t expect Sheepy to show up, but since banana and Sheepy had never gotten along, so thinking about it, it was pretty normal. Upon Sheepy having shown up, some other anchors who also couldn¡¯t stand banana couldn¡¯t help but send out a dozen ¡°hahahas¡± on the screen. After waiting for ten minutes and still not seeing a reply fromoshu, Yu Yan simply closed the group chat and started livestreaming. [Son, why did you take things so hard ah!! If you are fired by StarTV, where are you going to go livestream ah?! Although it¡¯s shady, but it¡¯s a big tform, so however it goes, there will always be some crumbs to eat wuwuwuwu, mom here is really broken-hearted.] [Antis, don¡¯t talk. If I see one, I¡¯ll kill one; I¡¯ll just put those words out here today! See who can curse out who! Why did this garbage tform deduct my baby¡¯s poprity points!!] [I just want to ask if banana was the one mentioned in the chat record?] Most of the barrage was worried about him. At this moment, the usual antis had actually disappeared without a trace. Yu Yan actually felt quite strange without thements of these deliberately sarcastic side ounts. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter who was mentioned in the chat record; he wasn¡¯t the main point of my Weibo post, so everyone doesn¡¯t need to ask anymore.¡± Yu Yan opened the game, started a solo Sanhok match, and jumped to Bootcamp without thinking about it. By two o¡¯clock in the afternoon, he had already won two matches, but no messages from an administrator had arrived. He wasn¡¯t worried, but the viewers in the barrage were worried to death. Every few minutes, someone would ask if he had received a message from an administrator. Another match ended, and Yu Yan picked up his cellphone to look at it. It wasn¡¯t to look at private messages from the tform, but to look at WeChat. 1¡¯s chat wasn¡¯t stickied to the top, but it was still the first contact in his WeChat list. The other party had not replied since the duck emoticon message he had sentst night. The sentence below 1¡¯s name was still this morning¡¯s ¡°I¡¯m also not livestreaming today¡± message. He didn¡¯t mean to deceive him, but the barrage was really too unfriendly. Last night, someone had even verbally yed ¡°Yanyan¡¯s Daddy¡± into pieces. There was nothing to investigate about this new ount, but somehow, someone had managed to figure out the IP address of the side ount. This was an act that nearly crossed over into the real world, so even before things could be handled properly, he decided to hide 1. He hesitated and sent another emoticon. When he raised his eyes again, the barrage was teeming with lines, having already exploded. [StarTV made a post!!!] [Holy shit, is this real??? I¡¯ll go see!] [It¡¯s real!! It directly forwarded Xiao Yan¡¯s post, although I haven¡¯t had time to read it carefully yet!!] Yu Yan was stunned. He opened up Weibo on theputer, and sure enough, managed to scroll to StarTV¡¯s official blog¡¯s response. He took a deep breath before he extremely slowly clicked open this long Weibo post. [StarTV¡¯s official blog: Dear stream followers and @yanxyan, sorry to keep all of you waiting! After careful investigation and several meetings, we have arrived at the following responses for this incident: 1. It was the personal decision of thepany¡¯s Administrator No. 03 to deduct yanxyan¡¯spetition poprity points, and the other administrators of thepany were not aware of it; 2. The system investigation confirmed that the stream follower with the ID ¡°Yanyan¡¯s Daddy ¡± is an ordinary user, and we verified that the owner of this ount is surnamed Yi, and it is not yanxyan¡¯s own side ount. 3. Recently, we have been strictly investigating the falsification of data and malicious acts in thepetition taken by the anchors, and we found that there are many administrators in thepany who have exploited the public for their private gain, in order to fill their own private pockets. We strongly condemn this, and at present, we have already dismissed the administrators involved in such acts and have decided to pursue them legally as well. 4. During the inspection, we found that the following anchors are suspected of conducting number fraud, which vites their signed contracts. We will deduct the false data from the numbers of these anchors and levy them with a fine and a warning. For @yanxyan, the victim this time, we will restore thepetition poprity points and offer correspondingpensation.] ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan¡¯s eyes widened, and he didn¡¯t manage to react for awhile. He had thought up many endings for this situation: The officials would put up a strong defense, or me him, or even refuse to respond directly¡­ But he hadn¡¯t thought that the officials would not only vindicate him, but also punish the relevant personnel?! He was a little muddled and clicked on the list of anchors who had vited the rules under this Weibo post. The first one was banana, with around 2 million points in falsified data! Looking further down the list, as expected, he foundoshu¡¯s name with around a hundred thousand in falsified poprity points. He read the post back and forth again twice and caught several words in the announcement¡ª¡ª Surnamed Yi? So 1¡¯s original surname was Yi? Made sense, after all it was a homonym¡­ Wait. The officials had said that they had ¡°verified¡± the owner of the ount¡­ so they had already gone and found 1?! So 1 already knew about all this? When he thought of that, his heart panicked, and he quickly reopened WeChat and sent several crying emoticons in a row. This time, the other party finally replied. 1: ? He stared at this perfunctory question mark. Yu Yan: ¡­Did the StarTV officials contact you? 1: En. Sure enough, the officials were really tactless. How could they disturb ordinary stream followers because of internal conflicts in their ownpany?! Yu Yan raised his hand and quickly screenshotted the real-time ranking list for the Kills King of the Year award along with the message: The poprity points you smashed before have all already been returned to me by the officials¡­. 1: Didn¡¯t you say you weren¡¯t livestreaming? Yu Yan: ¡­. 1: Still trying to deceive me? Yu Yan: ¡­¡­¡­¡­I¡¯m sorry!! 1: Intending to hide from me, letting all the poprity points I sent be wasted away, and letting me suffer a big loss? Yu Yan¡¯s heart leapt and without even thinking, he typed lightning fast¡ª¡ª Yu Yan: How could that be!!! Yu Yan: I definitely would never let you suffer any losses! Yu Yan: I was even originally nning on going to their head office and kicking up a fuss if they didn¡¯t give me back my poprity points. 1: ¡­what kind of fuss? That he hadn¡¯t thought through yet. Yu Yan: Pull up a banner, write a letter with my own blood, sit at the door of theirpany and cry. He would have to make himself seem more pitiful. 1:¡­ Yu Yan: Cry until their boss came out. Yi Chen, who sat at the head of his bed, looked lethargic right now, but couldn¡¯t helpughing as he rubbed his eyebrows, his previous fatiguepletely disappearing. When StarTV was founded, the way money was allocated within thepany could be considered objective. Before the livestreaming industry had be red hot, thepany had signed arge number of popr anchors at a low price and hadter spent a lot of money on publicity, which led StarTV to rise to be in its present position. However, that money wasn¡¯t enough to undertake other big projects. Yi Chen hadn¡¯t paid much attention when he had taken over and hadn¡¯t known howpletely shady the tform had grown. Two anchors of the same level, which one should be rmended on the homepage? How could a little anchor who had just started rising up quickly appear on the most watched lists? All these messy matters had something fishy in them. The issue of reorganization was inevitable. In private, he had already asked people to check the rtionships between the administrators and the anchors, but there were too many people to be investigated, and he didn¡¯t get back the findings until two days ago. Last night, he had held an emergency meeting and continued to workte into the night. He had made preliminary ns for the personnel adjustment list and future development of the tform before returning home. Today was a rare asion where he had managed to sleep until the afternoon. His cellphone vibrated again. Little Anchor: Everything I said is true¡­ Don¡¯t ignore me. 1: If something like this happens in the future, you have to honestly tell me everything. Little Anchor: It¡¯s all stuff with the tform, telling you won¡¯t solve anything and will also just upset you. 1: ? [Little Anchor recalled a message.] Little Anchor: ¡­I said, in the future, I will tell you everything. ¡ª Juurensha: A, Boss Yi cleaning up StarTV mostly because of his Little Anchor. (And really Boss Yi, what would you have done if Yanyan showed up crying on your doorstep?) Noks: Boss Yi isining about not beingined to¡­ so he scolded Yanyan into promising toin to him in the future. Ah, Boss Yi, haven¡¯t you realised that your concern for this little anchor is odd???

It¡¯s more condensed than the novel, but it¡¯s fun! Chapter 53 - The Icy Rose Blooms Alone Chapter 53 - The Icy Rose Blooms Alone Edited by Noks Everything had happened so suddenly, and even half an hourter, Yu Yan¡¯s cellphone was still being bombarded with messages¡ªbeeping and ringing nonstop. Because he was livestreaming, he couldn¡¯t reply to each of them one by one, so he just set up an automatic reply and nned to wait until dinner time to personally reply to the messages. Who knew that because he never appeared, by dinner time, the topic in the group chat had already gone all the way up to¡ª¡ª Tuantuan: Xiao Yan¡¯s backer is so powerful, so if I marry him, can I jump up and sweep away all the antis in my stream? Lulu: You¡¯d better step to the side ba. I¡¯m banana¡¯s ex, so it¡¯s more fitting for me to do this kind of face-pping story. Sheepy: Then do you guys think I have a chance? Yu Yan finished reading the chat record and couldn¡¯t helpughing. Yu Yan: You guys don¡¯t overthink it, I don¡¯t have a backer. Tuantuan: Things have alreadye to this point. It doesn¡¯t matter whether you say it or not now. Lulu: We understand. Yu Yan: Really don¡¯t have¡­ The officials went and found the stream follower in private, and only then did they believe that I didn¡¯t open a side ount to give myself poprity points. Tuantuan: The tform doesn¡¯t have nothing to do; it wouldn¡¯t disturb stream followers for no reason. At the end of the day, it¡¯s because you¡¯re more powerful. Yu Yan found it hard to argue against this many people, so he scrolled down and found that ten friend requests had actually appeared, all of which came through the anchor group chat. Evenoshu and banana were in there. He pretty much didn¡¯t think about it before directly hitting the reject button. The people in the group chat were still joking around, so Yu Yan gave up onmunicating with them and instead opened Weibo, where he found that thements under his post were also very strange. [Him, superb technique, you can learn the 36 strategies of gunslinging in three days; Him, whose livestreamsts up to 12 hours a day, and you no longer need to get drunk at night ever again; Him, the son of StarTV, you don¡¯t need to worry about your favorite anchor getting ndered! Once and for all, choose ¡ú ] Thisment had gathered more than 6000 likes in just half a day and had directly jumped to the top of his most poprments. No wonder so many people had suddenly entered the livestream this afternoon. He took another look at thements below and identally clicked into a fan¡¯s Weibo while scrolling through them. He was about to exit out of that Weibo page when his attention was hooked by a post that the other party had just forwarded. [Gaming Express: A little news. StarTV fired seven management personnel, and it seems like there¡¯s going to be a big overhaul of the entire organization. Several of those who were dismissed were served papers from StarTV¡¯swyers. It¡¯s said that the financier daddy took a group ofwyers with him directly to the casual meeting with the StarTV management personnel (?) Several of the administrators cried after the meeting. Here, I can¡¯t help but say, yanxyan is awesome.] ? No. How was yanxyan awesome! yanxyan wasn¡¯t awesome! This kind of news wasn¡¯t true; Yu Yanined internally after reading it and didn¡¯t pay any further attention to it. After eating dinner, he specifically looked at his cellphone before resuming the game. He wanted to ask 1 if he wanted to y, but felt ashamed to ask since he had just deceived him. While Yu Yan was hesitating, an arrogant carriage appeared in the stream. [Yanyan¡¯s Daddy has entered the stream] [This is the stream follower from the announcement!!] [This special effect, I thought it was 1, and my mouth was open for fluff¡­] [1 hasn¡¯te for several days. During this period, I have been climbing up the wall so many times. Did 1 go to see other female anchors again??] [No, 1¡¯s ount hasn¡¯t been online since sending those gifts. The 1YanTang sisters are about to wither away.] [Is surnamed Yi in?] Surnamed Yi: ¡°¡­¡± Yi Chen saw that the little anchor just so happened to still be on the homepage of the game. [Yanyan¡¯s Daddy: Carrying stream followers?] Yu Yan¡¯s heart leaped, and he replied lightning-fast, ¡°Carrying¡ªare youing?¡± [Yanyan¡¯s Daddy: I¡¯m logging in.] In the barrage, there were immediately stream followers yelling to alsoe. Yu Yan said, ¡°Next time I¡¯ll draw stream followers.¡± Things had been noisy on Weibo today. He was afraid that if a stream follower came along for a game, they would turn around and say something that shouldn¡¯t be said. He wasn¡¯t very good at mediating such things, so he might as well just reject them for now. [Boring. I can¡¯t go whoring with the anchor without money now. I still miss the time when the anchor was first born. He was approachable and amiable.] [After all, Xiao Yan depends on the boss to make money. Wuwu it¡¯s too real, I want to be rich too.] [It¡¯s sad that while I want to y games with Xiao Yan, I also want Xiao Yan to attract more bosses.] ¡°It¡¯s not like that¡­¡± The fans were ying up their misery, and Yu Yan couldn¡¯t stand it at all. He panicked for a moment and decided, ¡°How about next week? All week next week I¡¯ll draw stream followers.¡± The stream followers had seeded, and the barrage was full of cheers. They crazily messaged on the barrage to express their love, not noticing that the anchor had skillfully opened his friends list to invite one of his friends. It wasn¡¯t until the character in white shorts appeared in the game did everyone return to their senses. There was a long string of alphanumeric letters hanging above the head of the ordinary character¡ªYii11c. As soon as he entered the game, the little microphone next to his ID lit up. ¡°Can you hear me?¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Can hear¡­ Shall we do a randomized squad match?¡± ¡°En.¡± The stream followers were dumbfounded, and finally someone responded¡ª¡ª [Yanyan¡¯s Daddy is 1???] Yu Yan had decided to ignore them and just get through it. ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± When the game entered the 60 second wait in Manners za, Yi Chen nced at the screen and continued, ¡°I remember you.¡± This ID belonged to the person who had said he was dirtyst time. [¡­¡­¡­¡­£¡£¡£¡] [Wait, wait! I¡¯m a little dizzy ¡ª that means that you opened a side ount on your own to send gifts, and pushed down your previous ount yourself?! Why? The fun of being rich??] [Also, the name of this side ount¡­ Suddenly, I feel like I¡¯ve be a fan of an extreme CP¡­ the kind where if I say exactly what type it is, Xiao Yan¡¯s stream will get directly suspended¡­] ¡°Then don¡¯t say it.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°If it gets suspended, you¡¯ll be the one to pay.¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­.¡± At this time, teammate No. 1 suddenly turned on his mic and asked, ¡°Is anyone there?¡± No. 2: ¡°Yes, where should we jump to?¡± No. 1: ¡°Military Base, fuck them up.¡± No. 2: ¡°OK!¡± In just a few words, those two had decided the location. Yu Yan used the voice channel in the stream and said, ¡°You jump to the C area with me ba. Jump to the second building, let¡¯s go together.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± The two of themnded at the second building, and Yu Yan picked up an Uzi and loaded it, simultaneously focusing on listening for footsteps. Yi Chen took two steps before he noticed something was wrong. There was an orange logo on the left side of his screen with an exmation mark on it. At first, he didn¡¯t understand what it was, until he tried to open the door by clicking F. The door only opened after three seconds. That was when he realized that his gamingg was very high. He had originally wanted to tell the little anchor this, but he then heard a gunshot outside. It was followed by a kill notification that popped up at the top right of his screen. ¡°One dead, and there¡¯s still someone in the house.¡± Yu Yan quickly looted the bullets. ¡°I¡¯ve looted some medicine, you go hide¡­ I¡¯ll give it to you when I¡¯ve finished cleaning out the building. ¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and said in a rxed tone, ¡°Then I¡¯ll wait for you in this room.¡± [?] [Haven¡¯t seen Boss 1 for a few days, and you have be more and more proficient at lying there and eating chicken recently¡­] Yu Yan responded with an ¡°okay.¡± He was about to go to the second floor to look for people, but in the end, just as he had juste out of the room and was running down the corridor and pressed to jump¡ª¡ª At the moment when his game character jumped up, a heavy gunshot resounded in his ear, and he found himself kneeling and crawling on the ground. [Lqy777 knocked you down with a headshot from a M24] Yi Chen immediately got up and said, ¡°I¡¯lle help you up.¡± ¡°No,¡± Yu Yan frowned and looked at the familiar ID¡ªthis ID had just grabbed a UMP9 and was spamming headshots. ¡°Don¡¯te help me. The person here may be running a bot. You hide and wait for your teammates to pick you up.¡± Yi Chen replied, ¡°It¡¯s okay, you wait for me.¡± With that, he opened the door and was ready to help him up, but another gunshot sounded out. [Lqy777 has eliminated yanxyan with a M24] ¡°Really is running a bot.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Run quickly, flip out of the window, and escape from the back¡ª¡± Just as he was saying that, the person in front of him suddenly crouched down, followed by the sound of supplies being picked up. Yi Chen chuckled, ¡°Don¡¯t worry¡­ I¡¯ll broken pot?¡± [Hahaha, this is a true broken pot] [This guy is really a police uncle!] Yi Chen¡¯s character had frozen and couldn¡¯t run. He got up, picked up his bag, replenished his health, and got in the car without saying a word. The two of them drove to the wild area. On the way, No. 1 said, ¡°Let¡¯s search separately, bro. I¡¯ll pick you up after searching.¡± Seeing this, Yu Yan got up and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to the bathroom.¡± When he came back, the game avatars on his screen were running towards a big house. He sat down, looked at it carefully, and called out, ¡°1, wait¡­The door of the house has already been opened.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s steps stopped. When he opened his scope, he found that several doors had already been opened. ¡°En.¡± He turned around. ¡°I¡¯ll change ces.¡± ¡°No, if you keep going back, you¡¯ll run into the poison circle. Run ahead first and search the houses that haven¡¯t been opened. Pay attention to see if there are any people around.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Yi Chen walked into the house carefully with a gun in his hand. He was afraid of being ambushed, and so he searched with full concentration for nearly half a minute. When he came to a room, he looked out of its window and suddenly paused. Yu Yan heard him click his tongue softly, then saw him turn around and run out of the building without looking back. Yu Yan was stunned and asked him, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yi Chen pursed his lips as he answered, ¡°¡­This building has been searched before.¡± ¡°I know, but that person didn¡¯t pick it clean¡­¡± ¡°It was searched by me.¡± ¡°?¡± ¡°I got off the car here.¡± Yi Chen continued, ¡°¡­Then somehow, I nced at the map, ran for a while, and wandered back here.¡± Yu Yan heard the heaviness in his voice and tried tofort him. ¡°Many houses in the wild areas look the same, maybe you¡¯re wrong?¡± He hadn¡¯t thought thatforting 1 in this manner would just make his tone sound even more imposing. ¡°That 3x scope outside was the one I just tossed.¡± ¡°¡­..¡± [lololololololol fuck I¡¯m about to die ofughter. I saw him make a big circle on the map with my own eyes, and then run right back to the start lololol!!] [Back to the original starting point and standing stupidly in front of the window.] [Those wild areas searched in those years, those 2x scopes tossed in those years, really want to tell you ~ tell you that you have been here before.] Yu Yan nearly went crazy trying to keep himself fromughing out loud. Was everyone in the barrage a demon? Ten minutester, his wilderness tour was once again ended by that 777. After the match was over, Yi Chen¡¯s tone was displeased as he said, ¡°I keep freezing a lot tonight, and theg is a lot.¡± Yu Yan let out an ¡°en¡± and said, ¡°Could tell, how about you check thework?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no problem with mywork, it¡¯s a game problem.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°It already dropped, can¡¯t y it now.¡± The corners of Yu Yan¡¯s mouth suddenly drooped down. They had only yed one match!! He was thinking about how to urge him to stay, when he heard 1 say, ¡°Otherwise, let¡¯s change the game?¡± Yu Yan was shocked. ¡°Okay ah¡­ What do you want to y?¡± Yi Chen looked at the game pack he had just downloaded. ¡°World of Warcraft, League of Legends, or Hearthstone.¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Which one do you know how to y?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t know how to y any of them.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°I can learn.¡± Yu Yan hesitated for a while before he said, ¡°Then, League of Legends ba? But in that game, a new ount can only y against theputer, so you wait, I¡¯ll go borrow an ount for you.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Yi Chen quickly checked out some things. ¡°The max level required is 30? I bought an ount just now.¡± ¡°¡­¡± What kind of terrifying efficiency was this. Yu Yan opened LoL and asked him, ¡°What¡¯s the name of the ount you bought?¡± Yi Chen nced at it, and it was called¡­ The Icy Rose Blooms Alone. He took a deep breath and asked, ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°Is it my fault I¡¯m noob.¡± Yi Chen quickly bought a renaming card. After a while, he said, ¡°Alright.¡± As soon as his voice fell, a friend request popped up on Yu Yan¡¯s game interface. [It¡¯s not your fault has sent you a friend request.] ¡ª Juurensha: ¡­Boss Yi you im you don¡¯t like him, but you¡¯re already setting up in-game couple names. (Also I have to say, that original username was kind of cool) Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! And there¡¯s an audio drama for PUBG that came out! It¡¯s more condensed than the novel, but it¡¯s fun! Chapter 54 - Youre different. Chapter 54 - You¡¯re different. Edited by Divetus and Noks Yu Yan didn¡¯t look at the name carefully before clicking ept, and realized it only after the other party entered the party lobby and their names were disyed side by side. Is it my fault I¡¯m noob. It¡¯s not your fault. ¡°¡­¡± Afraid that the microphone by the side of his mouth would capture and reveal his emotions, he carefully and imperceptibly drew in a breath. [What are you guys doing??] [You¡¯re a PUBG anchor, not a LoL anchor, okay? ¡­I¡¯ll also watch LoL! Go for it!] [I think that the fifth chapter of will being out tonight!] Fifth chapter? Did that mean that the fourth chapter has already been posted? He had thought that since 1 hadn¡¯te to y games recently, that PO author wouldn¡¯t have gathered enough materials to cut and put together. He was about to start a match when a dialog box popped up. [Okay okay okay hugging you: ?] [Okay okay okay hugging you: Match, together?] 1 was a novice, and it would be easy to get med if they met the sort of teammates who really wanted to win. Yu Yan agreed without even thinking about it. Soon, the two of them entered the room at the same time, and the other person already there was ¡°Little fairy wants a hug QAQ¡±. ¡°Xiao Yan, I saw that StarTV Weibo post, hahaha, so cool!¡± As soon as Lu Xiuhe came in, he couldn¡¯t help but liven things up first. Yu Yan replied, ¡°Not really cool, start?¡± ¡°Start bei¡­ Wait a minute.¡± When Lu Xiuhe saw his teammate¡¯s ID clearly, he grew excited. ¡°This ¡®It¡¯s not your fault,¡¯ is this your¡ª¡± Yu Yan¡¯s heart jumped, as he remembered that he had talked with Lu Xiuhe about matters rted to 1 before. Knowing that he had misunderstood, he blurted out, ¡°No¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Lu Xiuhe: ¡°¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe: ¡°This is boss 1?!¡± ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen confirmed,pletely unaware of Lu Xiuhe¡¯s confused state, and moved around the screen. ¡°Which of these two roles should I pick?¡± Lu Xiuhe shut up. He had thought that these two names seemed like couple names and had even wondered if this person was the ¡°suspected online partner¡± Yu Yan had mentioned to him before. ¡°You haven¡¯t yed before, so just pick first,¡± Yu Yan said. Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°Then won¡¯t me and my baby be separated?¡± [Little fairy wants a hug QAQ: It¡¯s fine. I can be the jungler and you can go mid?] [Little fairy wants a hug QAQ: We can team up as mid and jungle to move together.] Lu Xiuheughed pervertedly. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s move together, move together!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I¡¯m streaming, can you not use obscenenguage?¡± Lu Xiuhe replied, ¡°Okay bei.¡± [Little fairy wants a hug QAQ: Your friend is an anchor?] ¡°Yes, StarTV.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°A great God anchor, very powerful¡ªof course, he¡¯s a little worse than me.¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t say anything and picked the ADC role for himself. Because he had been influenced by Lu Xiuhe, in his mind, LoL felt full of dog food everywhere. Atst, Lu Xiuhe brought a friend into their team, saying that he was a regr customer at his family¡¯s Inte cafe, was very nice, and didn¡¯t me people. So now they had a perfect five-man team. Entering the champion selection interface, Yi Chen looked at the numerous champions in front of him and asked, ¡°What do I y?¡± Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°Boss 1 hasn¡¯t yed before? Then whose ount is that?¡± Yi Chen replied, ¡°Haven¡¯t yed before. Just bought it.¡± ¡°A new ount should only have the starting champions and this week¡¯s free rotation champions avable?¡± Yu Yan nced at the list of free champions and was preparing to help him choose a simple and understandable one. ¡°I have all the champions,¡± Yi Chen said. ¡°?¡± ¡°Just bought them.¡± Yu Yan was speechless. Buying champions with real money was very expensive. Few people, apart from those yers who wanted to specialize in specific champions or suffered from theck of in-game currency, would use real money to buy champions. He had already be curious. ¡°How did you know from where to purchase the name change and champions&#k2026;?¡± ¡°I searched up how to load RP and how to purchase the name change.¡± Yi Chen said. ¡°The rest¡­ The word ¡®store¡¯ is on the front page of the game, it¡¯s very conspicuous.¡± If the game didn¡¯t offer the option to purchase a name change, then he would¡¯ve had to go buy a new ount. [Wealthy people have a natural sense for loading currency and purchasing things. I didn¡¯t believe that before, but now I do.] ¡°Why don¡¯t you y Sona? The maven of the strings.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Just keep pressing the four keys QWER, and it¡¯ll be fine; she¡¯s suitable for beginners.¡± ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t even think before typing the name in the search box and directly clicking on it. He squinted and saw that therge image of Sona in front of him was wearing sexy clothes, with most of her chest exposed. He looked through the skins avable, picked the pentakill skin with the very cool background, and directly clicked to buy it. Upon entering the game, Yu Yan controlled Lucian to run into the jungle and pinged on the map. ¡°1,e here¡­ After I finish helping the jungler leash in a bit, you can follow me. We¡¯ll go down to the botne.¡± Yi Chen asked, ¡°Just the two of us?¡± ¡°En, they¡¯ll go another way.¡± Yi Chen replied, ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Baby,e help me gank at level 2.¡± Lu Xiuhe was ying Annie. ¡°I¡¯ll sh and stun him, you need to follow up oh.¡± [Little fairy wants a hug QAQ: Mmhmm.] The thought of the ¡®great lord¡¯ Lu Xiuhe¡ªsporting his crew cut hairstyle¡ªsoftly calling someone baby over and over again, made Yu Yan feel that was very funny. The other friend in the team alsoughed. ¡°Xiao He, why are you this lovey-dovey? You¡¯re so young, you shouldn¡¯t be dating online. Be careful lest I go tell Boss.¡± Lu Xiuhe clicked his tongue and said, ¡°You know shit all. I¡¯ll be going to Jincheng to find my baby at the end of the year, and then it won¡¯t count as online dating.¡± Online dating? This word was a little new to him. Yi Chen manipted the sexy 36D character to follow the little anchor and asked, ¡°You¡¯reing to Jincheng?¡± ¡°Yes ah, I heard it¡¯s fun there. I haven¡¯t been there yet.¡± Lu Xiuhe then paused before saying, ¡°Boss 1, it couldn¡¯t be that you¡¯re also in Jincheng ba?¡± ¡°En.¡± ¡°What a coincidence! Xiao Yan, why don¡¯t you apany me to Jincheng at the end of the year bei? I¡¯ll go find my baby, you go find Boss 1. We can stay in the same room and save money.¡± Yu Yan was stunned, and at that exact instant, the monster spawned. He stepped forward and fired two attacks. ¡°¡­ You two meeting offline, what does that have to do with me and 1?¡± ¡°Boss 1 has sent you so many gifts, you can invite him out for a meal to thank him ma. You can also go to Jincheng to have some fun¡­¡± Speaking of this, Lu Xiuhe suddenly turned around and said, ¡°Oh no, I forgot, you¡¯re also about to start dating online. Where¡¯s your online partner from?¡± [Who? Whose online partner??] [Wtf, I watch Xiao Yan livestream every day, how did I not know he was dating online?!] [Who are you dating online? Female stream follower?] [Son, you must not get into online dating!! All the loli voices and domineering Jie voices online are fake!! FAKE ah!! It¡¯s only 1, who diligently helped you pile up poprity points, who is real ahhhhhh¡ª(cracking voice)] A pile of question marks appeared in the barrage at once. Yu Yan had a headache and said, ¡°I¡¯m not¡­ stop talking nonsense.¡± ¡°Oh, I¡¯m sorry. I talk too fast, I¡¯m pping myself.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, shutting the stable door after the horses had already bolted, ¡°You¡¯re not dating online!¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Yu Yan attacked the jungle monster a few more times before turning around to leave. As he was running through the jungle, he found that Sona, wearing herrge ck dress, wasn¡¯t following him. He moved his game view back to the monster and found that Sona was standing in the same ce, still auto attacking the jungle monster. Little Fairy seemed to be worried that the jungle monster would be killed by 1 as he just stood there. However, since the monster didn¡¯t have much health left after the leash, Sona ended up killing it and taking the monster¡¯s buff. [Little fairy wants a hug QAQ: ?] ¡°Sorry.¡± Yu Yan hurriedly said, ¡°He¡¯s a rookie and doesn¡¯t know how to y yet.¡± [Little fairy wants a hug QAQ: It¡¯ll be difficult for me to get to level 2 now. Can¡¯t gank without the red buff.] Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, just get the blue buff when you have the chance.¡± Yi Chen snapped out of it and looked at the red buff under Sona¡¯s feet. It was only after that that he turned around and walked over to the botne. ¡°1, in the beginning of the game, the jungle monsters should always be given to the jungler. They use the buffs to level up and gank people,¡± Yu Yan exined to him. Yi Chen responded with a neither light nor heavy ¡®en¡¯ sound, and after a while said, ¡°You¡­¡± After saying just ¡®you,¡¯ he fell silent again. Yu Yan uttered an ¡°Hm?¡± After spending a long time looking at the skill description boxes, Yi Chen said, ¡°¡­nothing. ¡± Sona really was an easy champion to learn how to y. After using her for ten minutes, 1 had a general understanding of her skills; but just understanding what her skills were didn¡¯t mean that he could use them effectively. Additionally, Lu Xiuhe¡¯s and his little girlfriend¡¯s elo weren¡¯t low, so the people they were matched against were tinum and Diamond ranked¡ªit wasn¡¯t easy to y against them in the first ce. It was 13 minutes into the game, and Yu Yan and 1 had been double-killed twice by the enemy botne. The screen grayed out for the second time, and Yu Yan pursed his lips. He opened the shop to buy some equipment. He hadn¡¯t yed LoL for a long time, so it was hard to carry a novice. At this time, a message popped up on the screen. [My Support is the Cutest (All): Is the little Jiejie Sona there? Your ADC is so noob,e and y with me ba. I¡¯ll definitely carry you every match~] Yi Chen stared at this for several seconds before he realized that the person was talking to him. [My Support is the Cutest (All): I have even thought up our couple name; you can change yours to ¡°My ADC is the most Handsome in the Universe¡±. I provide both online dating and marriage¡ªa one-stop service = 3 =] Yu Yan opened the chat box, and had just typed in a ¡®scram¡¯ when his teammate¡¯s message popped up first. [It¡¯s not your fault (All): Scram.] He paused, then deleted his message. ¡°1, you can turn off the all-chat function in the settings.¡± ¡°Turned it off.¡± Yi Chen paused for a bit before saying, ¡°You see, most of the people you meet on the Inte are such people.¡± Yu Yan froze, not understanding. ¡°Ah?¡± ¡°So when you¡¯re online¡­ Be careful when you make friends.¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t understand, but he obediently responded, ¡°Okay.¡± Yu Yan yed LoL all night, and didn¡¯t stop until the stream moderator reminded him about not livestreaming a game that didn¡¯t match his section for too long. He had just stopped and upon ncing over, he realized it was already time to end the stream. He said goodbye to his stream followers. Just after he turned off theputer, the cellphone in front of him suddenly vibrated. 1 was initiating a voice call with him. Why was it not a video call? Yu Yan stared at the screen for a long time before sluggishly picking up. He asked, ¡°Yanyan isn¡¯t here today?¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows, and it took awhile for him to respond, ¡°He just ate his fill and is sleeping now.¡± Yu Yan picked up his cellphone and sat on the bed. ¡°Do you usually take care of him?¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°Then¡­ Your girlfriend?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have a girlfriend.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Yu Yan couldn¡¯t help it, but since the camera wasn¡¯t on, the corners of his mouth drew up in a very obvious manner. ¡°I¡¯m not good at ying LoL, I can¡¯t carry you. How about you redownload and reinstall PUBG again? It should be that the client was corrupted.¡± ¡°It¡¯s already better, it was a problem with the game booster.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good¡­¡± Yi Chen lightly tapped the top of his desk and then suddenly threw out a sentence. ¡°You¡¯re dating online?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Yu Yan was stunned. ¡°I¡¯m not.¡± ¡°Then who was Lu Xiuhe talking about today?¡± It¡¯s you ah. This sentence had reached his throat and was forcefully swallowed back down by Yu Yan. ¡°He¡­ He was talking nonsense.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s eyebrows loosened slightly. ¡°Then that¡¯s good.¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Why did you ask this all of a sudden?¡± ¡°No reason really.¡± Yi Chen said lightly, ¡°Afraid you¡¯ll be corrupted by bad examples.¡± ¡°¡­ Online dating doesn¡¯t mean getting corrupted by bad examples ba.¡± ¡°How is it not?¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°People on the Inte will only show you the side they want to show you. Just by relying on sound and text, can you tell what kind of person is sitting on the other side of theputer?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yi Chen continued, ¡°There are also people who specialize in deception and cheat people out of money and affection. You can¡¯t even be sure whether the person is a man or woman, or whether they actually have a boyfriend or girlfriend in real life. Not even talking about online dating, you should also be cautious when you are making online friends.¡± Yu Yan paused, then said in a low voice, ¡°But the two of us¡­ are also online friends ah.¡± Yi Chen choked. Yu Yan went on. ¡°Even though you¡¯ve given me gifts, I have never pretended anything.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan finished. ¡°I¡¯m also really a man.¡± ¡°You¡¯re different.¡± Yu Yan stared at his profile picture, his heart beating very fast. ¡°¡­how am I different?¡± The silencested for half a minute. Yu Yan waited for a long time and didn¡¯t get a response. So he said in embarrassment, ¡°I¡¯m just casually asking.¡± Yi Chen was dumbstruck, and only after a while had passed did he make a slight ¡°en¡± sound. How was he different? He also wasn¡¯tpletely sure. ¡ª Juurensha: HE¡¯S DIFFERENT BECAUSE YOU¡¯RE IN LOVE WITH HIM BOSS YI (also, I went through youtube LOL tutorials and wiki pages to trante this.

It¡¯s more condensed than the novel, but it¡¯s fun! Chapter 55 - He suddenly… really wanted to know what 1 looked like. Chapter 55 - He suddenly¡­ really wanted to know what 1 looked like. Edited by Noks As soon as the weekend finished and work started again, certain people were burdened by their family into rushing over to Yida Group, with all family members in tow. Intruding guests who couldn¡¯t be stopped at the front doors were mostly just for show in TV dramas. Even though this family was very aggressive, they were still stopped in the lobby by the front desk. In the conference room, a staff member was reporting the weekly status report while trembling from fear. Only from time to time did they dare to sneak a nce at the boss sitting at the head of the table. The other party just kept looking at the documents in his hand, and so he had no idea whether the boss had actually listened to his report or not. The atmosphere, which had be very imposing and heavy, was disturbed when there was a faint sound of a vibration. Yi Chen finally moved his eyes away from the document, picked up his cellphone, looked at it, directly hung up the iing call, and then turned it off. ¡°Forgot to shut it down, sorry.¡± He said, ¡°Go on.¡± ¡°No-no-no problem!¡± The employee hadn¡¯t expected to suddenly receive an apology from the big boss, and so was shocked. ¡°Why don¡¯t you answer the phone first? We can wait a moment, it¡¯s fine.¡± ¡°No.¡± He frowned. ¡°Go on.¡± The employee didn¡¯t dare to say anything more and simply continued to report. After two hours, the meeting ended. As soon as he came out, his secretary came up to him and said, ¡°President Yi, outside¡­¡± He raised his eyes and asked, ¡°Still there?¡± The secretary paused, not expecting him to know about the situation before she could make her report. ¡°Yes, still there.¡± ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen tossed the documents into her hand. ¡°We have to change our securitypany.¡± The secretary didn¡¯t dare to ask anymore or agree with his statement, and just followed him with her mouth shut. She didn¡¯t know whether her boss really meant to change the securitypany or not; it was just like what had happened with the recentrge-scale reorganization at StarTV ¡ª when her boss had seen the information that had been gathered on them, he had said lightly, ¡°Change them all out ba.¡± At first, she thought she had heard wrong; StarTV¡¯s internal organization wasplex and wasn¡¯t something that could be changed in a short time. Unexpectedly, they held three consecutive meetings that night, and the kill list came out the next day. She heard that there were people surnamed Yi on that kill list. They were the emperor¡¯s kinsmen, but he just fired them anyway. The big boss¡¯ rtives were even waiting downstairs for him right now. Back in the office, Yi Chen directly took out his cell phone and dragged the number of the person who had been crazily harassing him during the meeting into the cklist. Just after he did that, another phone call came in. This time, he couldn¡¯t hang up the call. He left the papers on the table, went to the window, picked up the call, and said, ¡°Mom.¡± Mother Yi¡¯s voice was gentle. ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°Just finished a meeting.¡± ¡°En, I¡¯m calling to talk to you about your third aunt.¡± ¡°Mom.¡± Yi Chen said lightly, ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about work.¡± ¡°¡­ Alright ba.¡± Mother Yi said, ¡°We won¡¯t talk about work, but regarding thewsuit, your father and I think that since we¡¯re all rtives, just forget about thewsuit ba. It won¡¯t look good to have infighting in our own family.¡± Yi Chen replied, ¡°We¡¯ll see ba. We have to wait to figure out exactly how much he squirreled away before we can talk about other things.¡± ¡°Okay. Are you going to other provinces today ba? Rest more, read lessputer files in the car, it¡¯s too easy to feel dizzy from doing that. Understood?¡± After hanging up, Yi Chen turned and went downstairs. The security guard had received a warning and was working very hard right now. He had already driven everyone away, and so it was nice and quiet. The car was already waiting outside. Although he normally liked to drive himself, when it came to long distance trips, he preferred to spend his own time doing something else. When the driver saw himing out, he hurried to help him open the door. Yi Chen threw the papers inside and was about to sit, but he felt something and looked back. He saw nothing there. The driver called out, ¡°President Yi?¡± Yi Chen retrieved his gaze and turned to sit inside. On the highway, he flipped through two pages of information. Reading felt kind of tiring after just having finished a meeting. He just nced at the rest of the document before closing it. He hesitated for a moment before taking out his earphones. The person in the livestream was just in the middle of the final circle. Even though he was in a hurry, he still didn¡¯t forget to greet him. ¡°1, did you have lunch?¡± He was about to open his keyboard to reply, when an unknown number called him. He never replied to unknown numbers, so he just cut the call. ¡°What¡¯s the matter with the car in the back ah?¡± The driver looked in the rearview mirror and whispered, ¡°We¡¯re on the highway, but they still dare to follow so closely¡­¡± Yi Chen said, while wearing the headphones, ¡°Then just let him pass first.¡± Following his orders, the driver flicked on his turn signal, left the fastne, released a bit of the elerator, and reduced the car¡¯s speed to 65. The car behind them didn¡¯t even seem to think before it followed their change ofne while keeping the force exerted on the elerator as much as before, and the distance between the two cars reduced and became too close. In a few seconds, it was nearly pressed against their trunk. Looking at how close the car in front was, the driver of the car in the back was stunned for a moment, but it was toote to step on the brake&#k2014;&#k2014; Bang, the car in the front was hit hard¡ªit flipped over directly, and fell on the side of the highway. ¡ª When Yi Chen opened his eyes again, all he saw was a field of white. ¡°Holy shit, am I an immortal descending down to earth that you wake up just after I arrive?¡± As soon as Mo Nancheng put down the flowers in his hand, he saw the person in the bed staring at him. ¡°Wait a minute ah! I¡¯ll get the doctor!¡± As his friend went out, Yi Chen silently took stock of himself. All four limbs were still there, his body didn¡¯t hurt, but his head was a little dizzy. Nothing serious. When the doctor on duty came in, he saw that the patient had already sat up. ¡°Lie down first ba; these next few days, try not to move around too much.¡± ¡°En,¡± Yi Chen said, only then noticing that his throat was a little dry. ¡°How badly was I hit?¡± Mo Nancheng was listening on the side, and he truly felt that his friend was awesome. When had anyone, especially someone who had just experienced a car ident, gotten up and asked calmly how badly he was hit? Can the doctor say that the collision was very good and give you a full score of 10? Unexpectedly, the doctor nodded. ¡°You¡¯re alright. The seat belt was fastened, and the traffic ident wasn¡¯t too big, no injury, no blood, just a concussion.¡± ¡°En, then how long until I can be discharged?¡± ¡°We¡¯ll observe some more. If there are no signs of a cerebral hemorrhage tonight, you can leave the hospital by tomorrow.¡± After the doctor left, Mo Nancheng clicked his tongue. ¡°It¡¯s over just like that?¡± ¡°Otherwise?¡± Yi Chen nced at the flowers beside him, his face filled with dislike. ¡°Take these away.¡± ¡°Why ya, they look so nice.¡± ¡°Then you take them and give them to your girlfriend ba.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Mo Nancheng decided not to continue this topic. He sat on a side chair and said, ¡°Yi Ran has been guarding you all afternoon, he just left. His eyes were red, and he looked really miserable. Your parents called and told me that they have booked tickets toe back to China. They won¡¯t be going to any of the exhibitions or concerts, and they¡¯ll be here by tonight.¡± Yi Chen leaned back and let out an ¡°en.¡± Mo Nancheng stepped forward. ¡°Also, do you know who hit you?¡± ¡°Yi Sheng.¡± ¡°¡­You even know that?!¡± Mo Nancheng clicked his tongue and said, ¡°He said you fired him and served him papers. He got frantic and just wanted to talk to you face-to-face, but unexpectedly, you suddenly braked your car, and he identally ran into you. He¡¯s still at the police station right now.¡± ¡°Then let him stay there.¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and thought of something. ¡°How long have I slept?¡± ¡°Not long, just¡­¡± Mo Nancheng looked at his watch. ¡°Seven or eight hours, just in time to have a midnight snack.¡± ¡°Where¡¯s my cell phone?¡± ¡°Here.¡± Mo Nancheng took it out of his pocket and handed it to him. ¡°It vibrated all afternoon, my ass is pretty much numb.¡± Yi Chen ignored him. After opening it, he directly ignored all the work messages and missed calls he saw on the phone, and instead clicked on WeChat. Sure enough, the person who jumped to the front of his screen had sent many messages. Little Anchor: Why did you leave all of a sudden? Little Anchor: y games together tonight? Little Anchor: ¡­Can I see Yanyan tonight? Of course, if you¡¯re busy, then it¡¯s fine. There wasn¡¯t much content in each of his messages, but he had sent one every few hours. From across the screen, he could feel the sense of loss the other party experienced as they didn¡¯t receive a reply. He looked up at the time. It was already twelve o¡¯clock, so the little anchor should have already stopped livestreaming. 1: Not busy, but I may not be able to show him to you tonight. It only took about a second for the other party to reply. Little Anchor: Why, is he asleep again? 1: I¡¯m in the hospital. Little Anchor:??? Little Anchor: What happened? 1: There was a small car ident. He thought about it and then typed: Not injured¡­ Before he could finish typing, a voice call initiated by the other party popped up. Mo Nancheng heard the phone ring and was stunned. ¡°It¡¯s the middle of the night, who would voice call you¡­ Little Anchor?¡± He stared with wide eyes. ¡°It¡¯s the person from Manyang¡­¡­¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°You head back first ba.¡± ¡°Hey, I¡¯ve been guarding you here for such a long time, but one voice call and you¡¯re making me go?¡± ¡°Thanking you this time.¡± Yi Chen continued, ¡°Will invite you out to eat another day.¡± Mo Nancheng snorted and replied, ¡°Okay bei, then I¡¯lle back tomorrow. What flowers do you want tomorrow?¡± Yi Chen picked up the flowers beside him and threw them into his hands. He hissed, ¡°Scram ba, don¡¯t disturb the other patients in the middle of the night.¡± Only after he left did Yi Chen pick up the call. ¡°How did you get into a car ident? Where were you injured? Is it serious? Are you in the hospital?¡± Yu Yan¡¯s tone was tense, and he already couldn¡¯t cover up any of his emotions. ¡°Is there anyone watching over you?¡± For some reason, even though he had still been a little tired after waking up, but after hearing this voice, he felt much more awake. Yi Chenughed and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I was just about to reply to you. It¡¯s just a concussion; I¡¯ll be discharged tomorrow.¡± Yu Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, as if his whole body had rxed. ¡°¡­that¡¯s good.¡± After a long time, he murmured, ¡°That¡¯s so great.¡± Discerning his mood through his words, Yi Chen frowned and asked, ¡°How can you be so scared?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m not scared.¡± Yu Yan returned to his senses. ¡°¡­.in the future, you have to be careful on the road. You couldn¡¯t have been watching my livestream while driving ba?¡± Yi Chenughed. ¡°What do you think?¡± The other side was silent. Yi Chen was shocked and said, ¡°Of course not, don¡¯t overthink it. It was the driver who was driving the car.¡± Seeing that he still didn¡¯t speak, Yi Chen couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°Will you believe only after I call the driver to testify for me right now? It has nothing to do with you¡­ Where are you? Why is it so noisy on your side?¡± Originally, Yu Yan had been lying on his nket. However, when he had seen the words ¡°car ident¡±, he had be uneasy. By now, he was already standing outside, taking in the cool breeze. He rubbed his fingers and said, ¡°I¡¯ve opened the window, so there¡¯s wind.¡± Yi Chen propped up his pillow and leaned back. ¡°En, I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t y games these next two days.¡± ¡°That¡¯s fine, you take care of your injury first,¡± Yu Yan said, then suddenly thinking of something, he lowered his voice and asked, ¡°Is there anyone else in the ward? Did I just wake them up?¡± ¡°No, independent ward.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Yu Yan continued, ¡°Then I¡¯ll hang up, and you rest up well?¡± How could he just hang up like that? ¡°I just woke up, and I can¡¯t go back to sleep now,¡± Yi Chen replied. ¡°Oh¡­¡± Yu Yan licked his lips. ¡°Then we¡¯ll chat?¡± Yi Chen let out a gentle ¡°en¡± from his nose. Yu Yan turned around, walked down the stairs, and suddenly thought of something. ¡°Today, a new administrator came to my stream, No. 28. Seems like he just started the job.¡± ¡°Is he good to you?¡± Yu Yanughed. ¡°He¡¯s here to supervise my livestream, why would he be good to me? Just feels like¡­ he doesn¡¯t talk much, and does things more straight-forwardly ba. As soon as he came, he sent me several documents, saying that these are the new rules of thepany. I still haven¡¯t finished reading all of them.¡± ¡°A lot?¡± ¡°En, it¡¯s long and smelly. Sometimes I wish I could run up to the boss and give him advice. I¡¯ve been livestreaming for only half a month, but I could give him enough suggestions to fill a basket.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°¡­then why don¡¯t you mention it?¡± The nervousness and anxiety from just now hadpletely disappeared with a few words, and Yu Yan¡¯s tone had rxed a lot. ¡°I dare not, I provide for myself under his hand¡­ I only dare to grumble in front of you.¡± Hearing the sound of tiny steps, Yi Chen asked, ¡°Have you gone out?¡± ¡°En.¡± ¡°It¡¯s sote, what are you going out for?¡± ¡°Buy a pack of cigarettes.¡± Yi Chen frowned. ¡°You smoke?¡± Having watched him livestream for so long, Yi Chen still really hadn¡¯t discovered that he had such a habit. ¡°En, I used to like smoking, but I haven¡¯t smoked for a long time.¡± When his parents had just passed away, it was hard for him to survive without cigarettes. Later, he lost the habit because he had no money to buy cigarettes. But tonight he felt that his heart was itchy, and he really wanted to have one. Yi Chen really couldn¡¯t imagine what it looked like for the young man to pick up a cigarette. It might be both bad boy and childlike¡ªlike a primary school student who was forced to dress up like an adult ba. ¡°Since you already haven¡¯t smoked for a long time, then just quit, don¡¯t buy it.¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t really have to smoke, so heughed. ¡°Then what am I going to buy now?¡± ¡°Yogurt.¡± Yu Yan obediently went to the convenience store to buy a bottle of yogurt and asked him, ¡°Bought it, do you want to check?¡± Yi Chen directly turned on his camera. ¡°Checking.¡± Yu Yan was stunned. He had just said so casually and hadn¡¯t expected that the other side would actually turn on the camera. It was all white in the background¡ª white wall, white sheets, and white curtains. It felt like you could smell the disinfectant wafting from across the screen. He put the yoghurt in front of the camera, his throat twitching. He suddenly¡­ really wanted to know what 1 looked like. He hadn¡¯t wanted to see 1 before, because he was afraid to destroy his mental image of him. Now, he wanted to see because he wanted to remember aplete image of 1. Otherwise, in the future, whenever he thought back on the first person he had ever liked, he would only be left with the voice and the image of the other party¡¯s suit¡ªwhich would count as what exactly. ¡°1¡­.¡± On the other end of the video call, the door was suddenly opened, and the ward nurse, on her regr rounds, came in with a shlight in her hand. ¡°Why haven¡¯t you slept yet? You just had a car ident, now you need a good rest.¡± Yi Chen replied, ¡°En, I¡¯ll sleep after talking.¡± ¡°What can¡¯t you talk about tomorrow? Quickly go to sleep, I¡¯ll pour you a ss of water. Look, your voice is hoarse.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± After the nurse left, Yi Chen took a sip of water and asked, ¡°What did you just want to say?¡± ¡°Ah¡­ Nothing.¡± The courage he had plucked up just now had long disappeared. He had yoghurt in his mouth, and it was sour and sweet. Yu Yan said, ¡°I wanted to say¡­ Can you give me your address?¡± Address? Yi Chen raised his eyebrows. The little anchor¡­ wanted toe visit him? This request was somewhat unexpected. At least right now, he wasn¡¯t ready to meet the little anchor. He wasn¡¯t very good at dealing with people who liked him. If the little anchor really came, then he couldn¡¯t treat him the way he had treated those other people in the past¡­ Yu Yan wasn¡¯t defeated by the silence that reigned this time. Seeing that 1 hadn¡¯t replied, he asked again, ¡°Okay?¡± Yi Chen took a deep breath. ¡°I¡¯ll send it to you on WeChat, you remember it.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: !!! Will yanyan reallye to visit?? And yes Yanyan, listen to Boss Yi, don¡¯t smoke! (Also wait with the car ident¨CI mean I¡¯m d Boss Yi is okay, but a car flipping should probably cause more injuries??? Also, is the driver okay????) Noks: Ohhh¡­ Will they meet? Poor Yu Yan, he doesn¡¯t think his crush will pan out. Pat pat, Don¡¯t worry Yanyan, Boss likes you too¡­ <3 Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! And there¡¯s an audio drama for PUBG that came out! It¡¯s more condensed than the novel, but it¡¯s fun! Chapter 56 - "Peace and Safety" Chapter 56 - ¡°Peace and Safety¡± Edited by Noks Yi Ran, who didn¡¯t even go on his trip, heard that his Ge had woken up. At first, he had nned to spend a few days with a group of his friends. Upon getting the news of the ident, he had returned his ticket without even thinking about it. As soon as he woke up, he burst into the hospital with a runny nose and tears in his eyes. Inexplicably, the ward was clean and empty. Yi Chen had gone back to the Yi residence early in the morning. Mother Yi had asked someone to cook him a table full of dishes, but still couldn¡¯t be at ease even after being solicitous for half a day. ¡°You really don¡¯t feel ufortable anywhere? And you had a full-body examination done? Come on, have more fish,¡± Mother Yi said while putting more food on his te. Just then, her cell phone suddenly rang. She merely nced at it and then directly hung up. ¡°He hit you like this, but still dares to ask for help. Fat chance.¡± Yi Chen obediently ate some more fish and didn¡¯t say a word. ¡°Although it¡¯s a minor injury, don¡¯t go to thepany at this time ba. Have a good rest at home first.¡± Father Yi said, ¡°I¡¯ve already had your room cleaned. Stay at home first for these next few days, if anything happens, it¡¯ll be easier to deal with.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Nothing will happen, I¡¯ll go back and stay at home.¡± ¡°If you go back, mom will not be at ease, so just stay here first ba.¡± Yi Chen paused for a bit before he said, ¡°I have a friending over in a few days. It¡¯s not convenient for me to entertain them here.¡± ¡°Friend?¡± Mother Yi really couldn¡¯t think of anyone who would make her son want to entertain them himself. Women¡¯s intuition was too strong; she blinked and asked, ¡°Man or woman?¡± ¡°Man.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Mother Yi was a bit crestfallen. ¡°Then you taking care of your guest doesn¡¯t conflict with staying here. You can also invite him toe here and have a meal, and mom will cook a meal for you guys herself.¡± Yi Chen still refused. ¡°No.¡± Mother Yi still wanted to say something when the sound of a car engine rumbled outside. Before long, Yi Ran came hastily rushing in. ¡°Ge! Why didn¡¯t you give me a call when you left the hospital, I would have gone to pick you up ya!¡± ¡°No need for you to pick me up,¡± said Yi Chen. ¡°You say that, but Xiao Ran having such a heart is already a rare and priceless thing. Come, Xiao Ran, sit down and eat.¡± Mother Yi said, ¡°Weren¡¯t you going to go on a trip for these next few days?¡± Yi Ran really cared about his Ge. After all, he had idolized him since he was a child. He took a sip of soup and said, ¡°Chen Ge has already been hit like this, how can I have any interest in going? I n to live in his house these next few days to take care of him.¡± Mother Yi nodded. ¡°¡­that would be good.¡± Yi Chen was ready to refuse, but upon hearing his mother acquiesce, he raised his eyebrows and didn¡¯t speak again. After eating, they got in Yi Ran¡¯s car together. Yi Ran started the car. ¡°Ge, I have to go home to get some clothes. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn¡¯t have gone back to live at home a few days ago. It¡¯s really troublesome to move around¡­¡± Yi Chen turned on his cellphone. ¡°No need.¡± ¡°Ah? Then what am I supposed to wear these next few days?¡± Yi Ran¡¯s eyes brightened. ¡°Ge, you¡¯re going to buy me clothes?¡± Yi Chen nced at him and said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to take care of me, just send me back.¡± ¡°No can do, I promised my aunt.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no room for you at home.¡± Yi Ran was puzzled. ¡°Isn¡¯t there a guest room¡ª¡± ¡°Someone¡¯s going to stay there.¡± Oh, then that would be a bit tricky. Yi Ran turned the steering wheel, ready to go a different way. After a while, when he finally realized what had been said, he was stunned and shouted, ¡°Wait¡­ Who?!¡± Yi Chen was upset by the noise and frowned. ¡°Are you a loudspeaker?¡± ¡°No, Ge, who¡¯s going to stay in your guest room ah?¡± Since Yi Chen had bought the house and left to live by himself, Yi Ran had never seen anyone else stay in his Ge¡¯s house besides himself. Last time, when Cheng Ge cheated on and got blocked out of his house by someone, his Ge wouldn¡¯t even take Cheng Ge in! Yi Chen said, ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t tell me,¡± Curiosity finally defeated his survival instinct, and for the first time, Yi Ran dared to threaten his Ge. ¡°I-I¡¯ll tell my aunt about it and let her force you to return home.¡± Yi Chen looked sideways andughed coolly. ¡°Yi Ran, you have be promising.¡± Yi Ran replied, ¡°Ge, tell me bei, I promise not to tell other people!¡± There really was no reason to conceal this matter in the first ce. Also, Yi Ran was the kind of person where if he didn¡¯t tell him, he may end up doing stupid things¡ªlike watching the house. Yi Chen took back his gaze and said lightly, ¡°Xiao Yan.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the person next to him take a deep breath. ¡°Ge,¡± Yi Ran¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°This time you¡¯re¡­ serious ya?¡± As soon as he asked this, Yi Ran felt that it wasn¡¯t quite right¡ªHis Ge had also never been casual about other people ya. So he paused and asked, ¡°So he¡¯s really be my sister-inw?¡± ¡°&#k2026;¡± Yi Chen¡¯s eyebrows twisted together. ¡°What sister-inw?¡± ¡°In Manyang, didn¡¯t you guys&#k2014;¡± ¡°He was drunk, and I took him back to the hotel.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°That¡¯s all.¡± Yes. If Xiao Yan hadn¡¯t told me about that day himself, I would have almost believed that. Yi Ran thought this internally, but still replied quickly, ¡°I know, I understand, then why is heing here this time?¡± When he asked this, the corner of Yi Chen¡¯s mouth inexplicably twitched, and it took a long time before he replied with a simple sentence. ¡°¡ªHe¡¯s in a hurry to visit me.¡± ¡ª ¡ª Mo Nancheng thought that the words Yi Chen had said in the ward about ¡°invite you out to eat next time¡± were just him being polite. After all, this bro of his was usually very busy. Recently, since it was also nearing the end of the year, you couldn¡¯t find any free time within a period of 8-10 days at least. He hadn¡¯t expected to be invited out today after just having heard those words just yesterday. ¡°No, if you wanted to eat, we could just eat, why did we have toe here?¡± Mo Nancheng took the menu and covered his whole face. Yi Chen asked, ¡°Wasn¡¯t this the ce you opened for your girlfriend?¡± Mo Nancheng corrected him, ¡°Ex-girlfriend.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Although he didn¡¯t say it, his friend¡¯s eyes were already full of the two words: g man. Mo Nancheng felt wronged. ¡°How was I supposed to know that she has a special hobby that outsiders shouldn¡¯t know about. That day, she suddenly took out a ck leather rope from the cab¡ªthe rope was thicker than my arm, I¡­¡­¡± ¡°Shut up,¡± Yi Chen interrupted him. After they finished ordering, Mo Nancheng asked, ¡°Okay ba, what did youe find me for ah?¡± ¡°Thanking you,¡± Yi Chen said in a hard voice. ¡°¡­¡± Mo Nancheng felt uneasy all over. ¡°N-no problem?¡± ¡°Also,¡± Yi Chen entered the main topic he was concerned about, as he suddenly took out a binder. ¡°Visiting Jincheng, what ces are fun to visit?¡± Mo Nancheng was dumbfounded. ¡°Ha?¡± Yi Chen repeated his question. Mo Nancheng thought hard for a long time. ¡°¡­Bars, clubs, golf courses?¡± Yi Chen put some bite in his voice. ¡°Fun, vacation, ces.¡± ¡°You mean tourist attractions? Definitely don¡¯t go, it¡¯s busy, and it¡¯s boring; it¡¯s only for tourists. Jincheng is a ce with a developed entertainment industry, it¡¯s a pity not to enjoy those if youe here.¡± Just as Mo Nancheng wanted to ask who was going to visit Jincheng, he saw Yi Chen purse his lips and say, ¡°He¡¯s still young, and it¡¯s not appropriate for him to go to those ces.¡± ¡°Young?¡± Mo Nancheng asked, ¡°Who? How young?¡± ¡°This year, he¡¯s 20.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°A friend.¡± No friend could have this special honor; Mo Nancheng understood everything in a sh. He screwed up his face with a shocked expression. ¡°20? Bro, he¡¯s younger than you by nearly a decade. If I¡¯m scum, you¡¯re a beast ah!¡± Yi Chen raised his eyes and spoke in a pissed off tone, ¡°A decade? Should I get a tutor to teach you remedial math?¡± Mo Nanchengughed. ¡°Okay¡­ a young man ma, I also don¡¯t really know. Do you know what he usually likes? Just do what he likes.¡± He liked ying games. Besides games¡­ What else did he like? ¡°By the way,¡± Mo Nancheng thought of something and gently pointed out, ¡°StarTV¡¯s what, that annual g. You get me an invitation to it bei.¡± ¡°En, why are youing?¡± ¡°I went to see your thing two days ago and found a very cute female anchor called Tuantuan or something¡­ I¡¯ve heard that video filters are very deceiving, so I just want to see the real person.¡± ¡°Then don¡¯te.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°You can bring disaster on other people, but don¡¯t touch my employees.¡± Mo Nancheng: ¡°¡­¡± ¡ª The next day, the StarTV anchorpetition finally came to an end, and the list of winners was pinned high on the home page. Clicking on the name of an anchor would take you directly to their livestream, which was a good opportunity to attract some poprity. Many anchors had changed their livestream times because of this list. At nine o¡¯clock in the morning, there was only one anchor on the winners¡¯ list who wasn¡¯t streaming. The stream was called¡ª¡ª [yanxyan¡¯s stream: See you at 11:00.] His fans felt aggrieved. [Others anchors rushed to start streaming at 8 o¡¯clock as soon as the winners¡¯ list was posted! My liking for this anchor is unshakeable but still, he won¡¯t start streaming until 11!!] [Pride makes people take one step back,ziness makes people take ten steps back!] [Congrattions to Xiao Yan for beheadingoshu and winning the Kills King of the Year!] Yu Yan was having breakfast with Tuantuan in a shop when he heard the news of his winning. ¡°Ugh, I knew I shouldn¡¯t have signed up for the Anchor of the Year award or whatever, it would have been fine to just grab a little something off of some other award. It¡¯s all their fault for encouraging me, how could I beat the great God in the LoL section¡­¡± The woman was wearing suspender shorts and had her hair done up in two pigtails, looking cute and yful. She scrolled through the screen of her cellphonezily. ¡°But fortunately, banana fell behind me after getting his poprity points deducted. It¡¯s so cool to see that.¡± Tuantuan had arrived in Manyang yesterday. Yu Yan had received a lot of care from her, so naturally he invited her out for a meal. Yu Yan replied, ¡°Second ce is also pretty powerful.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± Tuan Tuan blinked at him and continued, ¡°You¡¯re more powerful, Kills King of the Year. Although it¡¯s a small award, it sounds pretty exotic ya. ¡± Yu Yanughed and said, ¡°Thank you. What time is your flight back?¡± ¡°Three in the afternoon. By the way, thank you for climbing with me yesterday ah¡­ if I was by myself, I definitely wouldn¡¯t have had the guts, there were so many steps that I felt dizzy just looking at them,¡± Tuanutan said. ¡°The annual g will be next month, you¡¯lle ba? When youe to Jincheng, I will definitely host you well.¡± Yu Yan had received an invitation to the annual g, but he still hadn¡¯t decided if he wanted to go or not. He replied, ¡°Alright, if there¡¯s a chance.¡± These two people both had outstanding looks, and so people around them kept sneaking nces at them as they were sitting in the restaurant. Tuantuan was used to it, it was fine as long as she wasn¡¯t recognized by fans of her stream. After breakfast, Tuantuan took out her beautiful cellphone, and her eyes curved as she said, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s take a picture.¡± She was going to show-off to that group of people that she was someone who had met Xiao Yan in person! Yu Yan let out an ¡°en.¡± He didn¡¯t have the habit of taking selfies, so all he knew was that he had to look up at the camera. ¡°Aiya, it¡¯s a selfie, not a livestream. Here¡­¡± Tuantuan chuckled, got up, and pushed herself into Yu Yan¡¯s side. Yu Yan was stunned and wanted to step back to make room for her. However, Tuantuan looked up and leaned on his shoulder. ¡°Smile¡ª¡± Yu Yan reflexively raised the corner of his mouth. ¡°Done!¡± After taking the picture, Tuantuan got up with satisfaction and stared at her phone, examining the picture. She said naturally, ¡°So handsome, really.¡± ¡°If I hadn¡¯t already made a vow to never betray 1YanTang, I would definitely chase you!¡± Yu Yan choked and begged, ¡°¡­Don¡¯t make fun of me.¡± Yu Yan was relieved to see Tuantuan off. He wasn¡¯t far from his home, and it wasn¡¯t time to start streaming yet, so he decided to walk back. His cellphone surprised him with the sound of a notification. 1 had sent him a picture. Yu Yan clicked it open to look at it. It was of aputer with arge, curved monitor. The totally enclosed water-cooled case emitted a blue light. There was an embossed level 3 helmet on the side, and it looked particrly cool ced against the light. There was also aplete set of top peripherals from a big brand. The overall price tag of the whole setup didn¡¯t look cheap. This was theputer that Yi Chen had just asked someone to specially put together. From the top to the bottom, everything was top-quality. He had never thought of letting the little anchor stay in a hotel. After all, work couldn¡¯t be left behind. If he let him stay in a hotel, he would have to keep running to an Inte cafe, which was inconvenient. And with him living right under his nose, he would be more at ease. Little Anchor: Did you change yourputer? 1: En, just got it. Like it? Yu Yan was at a loss. What does it have to do with him liking it or not? But since he had already asked¡ª Little Anchor: Like it, the color is also very nice. Yi Chen was satisfied. He turned to walk out of the guest room and sat on the sofa. Disyed on theptop in front of him was a bunch of documents that his assistants had just sent him¡ª Inventory of all of Jincheng¡¯s tourist attractions, guide to Jincheng¡¯s most popr eating, drinking and partying scenes, and the three must-eat delicacies of Jincheng. He randomly opened one of them, which was illustrated and written in great detail. 1: Do you like eating spicy food? Little Anchor: Huh? Really like it¡­ What about you? 1: Not bad. He took out a ck leather notebook and wrote down the names of restaurants that had very spicy rmendations. 1: Like little animals? Little Anchor: ¡­So-so. Zoo, aquarium¡ªnot going. 1: Sports? Little Anchor: Don¡¯t like it very much. No wonder he was so thin and so bony to the touch. A swimming pool was arranged. The page in front of him was quickly filled up halfway through. Yi Chen picked it up, looked at it, and was pretty satisfied. Eating, drinking, and ying were all nned out now. He was about to ask when the other party woulde when a Weibo post was suddenly pushed to his cellphone. He randomly clicked on it. [Xiao Tuantuan: Back from praying for blessings in Manyang ~ I met a handsome and cute little Yanyan (yes, it¡¯s Yan not Yan!), and we climbed the mountain together, had a meal, and had a great time! Nanqi Temple lives in the mist, it¡¯s well-known, and I nearly died climbing up to it. @yanxyan next time youe to Jincheng I will definitely care~for~you! [Photo]] The reason why he could see this Weibo post was because the person he followed had forwarded it. [yanxyan: [/ugh]] He calmed down and clicked on the picture. Although the young man¡¯s smile wasn¡¯t very natural, his appearance still won out. When he showed off his white teeth like that, he was particrly pleasing to the eyes. The woman was leaning on his shoulder and smiling lovingly. Yi Chen looked down and saw the most likedment on top immediately. [Good match! You two are together?!] The cellphone, which was lying in his palm, was unable to understand how the expressionless person in front of him could be so strong. It felt as if it was about to be squeezed into disintegratingpletely. Yi Chen¡¯s eyebrows tightened as an inexplicable agitation coursed through him, giving him a headache. He switched back to WeChat. Just as he was about to ask him, the phone suddenly rang. The man at the other end said politely, ¡°Hello, is this Mr. Yi? This is Shunfeng Express, I have a delivery for you. It has already been delivered to your door. Is it convenient for you to sign for it right now?¡± Two minutester, Yi Chen took a small box from the deliveryman. The sender¡¯s name was written neatly: ¡°Yu Yan.¡± With a calm expression, he took the box apart quickly. Under the manyyers of packaging was a small wooden tube. He opened the little round cover on its top and looked inside. A small yellow paper charm was lying inside, along with some incense ashes from the temple beside it. There was an iplete seal and two small characters written on the paper. ¡°Peace and Safety¡±. ¡ª Juurensha: !!! Don¡¯t be mad Boss Yi! Yanyan never said he wasing over! You just assumed it! (Although it was really cute to watch him run around trying to make the trip as fun as possible) And of course, got to love Yi Ran being like omg, I can call him sis-inw now? Noks: Boss Yi is really dense. Wanting to have yanyan¡¯s every move under his eyes? And then still not wanting him to misunderstand his ¡®liking¡¯ for him¡­ Ah¡­ getting to an official confirmation of their rtionship is gonna take an uphill battle, won¡¯t it? Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! And there¡¯s an audio drama for PUBG that came out! It¡¯s more condensed than the novel, but it¡¯s fun! Chapter 57 - [/ smile] Chapter 57 - [/ smile] Edited by Noks Yi Chen stared at the Peace and Safety charm for a while. His gazended on thebel on the express box, and an unwee idea appeared in his mind. He took a picture of the wooden tube and sent it. Little Anchor: Already received it? Was the inside damaged at all? 1: ¡­No. Little Anchor: Okay, I¡¯ll give the delivery person a five-star review. 1: You wanted my address just to send this to me? Little Anchor: Yes. Little Anchor: Ah, that¡­ I originally wanted to send you some local specialties, but then I thought that since you have visited Manyang for business before, you¡¯ve probably bought them and tried them already. Yi Chen couldn¡¯t even say what he was feeling right now. He used to think it was very tough to deal with people who liked him. Amongst the people he had met who had chased him before, the ones who ended up beating a retreat when confronted with impossible odds were alright, but those stalkers were like dog-skin sters that couldn¡¯t be shaken off. So at first, when the little anchor had asked for his address, he had originally wanted to refuse, but by the time he had snapped out of his daze, he realized that he had already sent the address. Then he thought, since the little anchor would being, he might as well take advantage of this duration to fatten him up a little. For young men, to be too thin wasn¡¯t good or healthy. Fortunately, although he was thin, he wasn¡¯t short, and his face looked pleasingly plump, which would probably feel nice when pinched. He could also provide him with an updated set of livestreaming equipment while he was there. His previous setup had gotten soaked by liquid, so its performance would definitely worsen as time went by. After sitting in front of theputer all day, exercise was also necessary. When he said all this like that, it didn¡¯t seem like he didn¡¯t want him toe, but actually seemed like¡­ He wanted to see him. Yet in the end, not only did the little anchor note, but he also went to climb mountains and eat out with others, even taking intimate group pictures. The other party didn¡¯t reply even after a long time had passed. Yu Yan opened his livestream and saw thousands of fans waiting for him. He was shocked. Usually, if there were a few hundred zombie ounts waiting for him even before he started streaming, then that already counted as a lot. He had thought that everyone was here to congratte him on winning the prize. He was just preparing to say thank you¡ª¡ª [Damnit, are you with Tuantuan now?! When did this happen? I watch you livestream every day, why didn¡¯t I catch the slightest sign?!] [In ancient times, there was Han Xin pretending to repair galley roads while making secret advances into Chencang, and now there is yanxyan sending secret messages.] [No wonder Tuantuan is always praising you in her livestream. I¡¯m afraid you two hooked up a long time ago. Eat my sword!] Yu Yan was wide-eyed and stared at the screen for a long time before exining, ¡°We¡¯re not. Don¡¯t imagine things, guys, I¡¯m not with Tuantuan.¡± [You guys are taking couple photos and you¡¯re still quibbling about details??] ¡°It¡¯s not a couple photo, it¡¯s just a picture we casually decided to take after eating.¡± Yu Yan chuckled and continued, ¡°She came to Nanqi temple to pray. As I¡¯m a local, I apanied her. We¡¯re just friends, don¡¯t make wild conjectures. Yes, I promise not to stain your goddess¡­ I have not been defiled either. No, I¡¯m a big man, how can I be defiled?¡± Saying that, he was just about to open the game when he found that his private messages icon was shing. Administrator 28: Hello, yanxyan, this tform sincerely invites you to attend the StarTV annual g, being hosted by the Main Board of StarTV, on October 3, in Jincheng. Amodation and round-trip ne tickets shall be reimbursed by thepany. [The annual g has started again; I always feel that time is passing very fast. Thest annual g was full of stars, it was just like watching an award party. Financier daddy is rich.] [Will Xiao Yan go?] This was a mass message, and Yu Yan wasn¡¯t in a hurry to reply to it. He closed the message and said, ¡°Don¡¯t know yet¡­ probably not ba.¡± Opening the game, he picked up his phone again and nced at it; 1 still hadn¡¯t replied. He pulled up the chat record to see if he had said something wrong. Little Anchor: ¡­Or do you have a favorite local specialty you really like to eat? What kind is it, I¡¯ll buy it for you? 1: I don¡¯t eat local specialties. Yi Chen sat on the sofa and looked at theputer and notebook in front of him. He felt that right now, he was almost the same as Yi Ran. Thinking about it carefully, the other party really had never said he wasing to Jincheng. He closed the notebook and sullenly thought that it was great that he wasn¡¯ting, that way he didn¡¯t have to go through any trouble for him. Leaving the notebook andputer aside, he turned to look into the guest room, remained silent for a while, and then took out his cellphone. 1: Thank you. 1: Going to pray for blessings with your girlfriend, and getting me one in passing, such care. 1: [/ smile] Little Anchor:?? Little Anchor: It¡¯s not like that¡­ I went with a friend, I don¡¯t have a girlfriend. Yi Chen¡¯s expression cleared a bit, but his face still looked cold. 1: Besides Nanqi temple, where else did you guys go? Little Anchor: Only went there. 1: You finally get to meet her in person, and you didn¡¯t take her everywhere to have fun? Somehow, Yu Yan felt that even though 1 had replied with so many words, it seemed like¡­ he didn¡¯t seem very happy. Little Anchor: No¡­ I¡¯m not very good at entertaining people. This time, it just so happened that both of us were going to the temple, so we went together. 1: Alright, what did you want to do by going there? Little Anchor: Went there to get you a Peace and Safety charm. Yi Chen raised his eyebrows. So he meant that he had only gone to the temple to get him a Peace and Safety charm. Little Anchor: I heard before that the charms there are very effective. If you think the wooden cylinder is heavy, you can take out the paper and put it in your wallet. Little Anchor: Although it¡¯s a little superstitious¡­ But it¡¯s up to you to believe it or not. 1: You asked for Peace and Safety for me, what did you ask for yourself? The other side only replied after a long time. Little Anchor: ¡­I forgot. 1: You even forgot what you asked for? Little Anchor: No, I forgot to ask for anything for myself. ¡°¡­¡± The man¡¯s frown finally loosened. Not only was theputer new in the guest room, he had also asked the cleaner to clean it. A poster of the PUBG map was stuck to the wall, models were ced behind theputer, and even the sheets and other things had been changed. He held the Peace and Safety charm for a long time, then tossed it into his wallet. He was just about to close it when he paused again. He opened the wallet again and smoothed out the wrinkles at one corner of the paper charm. 1: What¡¯s the effect of this charm? Little Anchor: I also don¡¯t know. I¡¯ve only heard about it before, this was my first time climbing up there. 1: Why didn¡¯t you send it to me in person? It¡¯s not quite sincere to send it by express mail. Yu Yan froze. He had never thought of sending it himself. After understanding his own thoughts towards 1, he always felt that he couldn¡¯t be as before and face him so purely. Usually, he was overcautious while chatting, so forget about if they were face-to-face. Little Anchor: I was very sincere when I asked¡­ should be fine ba? 1: En. I¡¯ll try it first. If it works, I¡¯ll go and pay my respects to the temple. Little Anchor: Okay¡­ 1: When the timees, you¡¯ll apany me to climb up there ba? Yu Yan felt that his cellphone was very hot. His fingertips started trembling at the top of the screen, and he still hadn¡¯t figured out how to reply after a while. Little Anchor: I will. 1: En, in return, when youe to Jincheng for the annual g, I¡¯ll receive you. ¡°¡­¡± [I¡¯ve been waiting here for a long time, but the anchor still hasn¡¯t started the game. Is he just going to stream himself ying on his phone for us?] [The anchor¡¯s expression has changed ten times.] [Should be that he¡¯s so happy that he won the prize that he¡¯s fallen into a daze ba. Let¡¯s all be understanding, and he will y the game soon.] Yu Yan didn¡¯t respond for a long time. Since he hadn¡¯t replied, his cell phone vibrated again. 1: Oh, it seems that there¡¯s already someone else who will be receiving you, so you don¡¯t need me. 1: [/ smile] Since this had first started, today was the day with the most emoticons 1 had ever sent. Little Anchor: N-no, it¡¯s not like that. Yu Yan didn¡¯t dare say that he wasn¡¯t nning on going, fearing that 1 would think he was just perfunctorily brushing him off. Little Anchor: Then I will trouble you¡­ His ns had changed so suddenly that Yu Yan didn¡¯t know what he had promised until he received the second message from the administrator at dinner time. Administrator 28: Hello, yanxyan. This time the tform hopes that the winners of each prize in the anchorpetition will be present as much as possible at this annual tform g. At that time, we will present the trophies on the spot. The stream followers were right. This year¡¯s annual g had really be an award ceremony. He hadn¡¯t nned on going before, for fear of dying his livestreaming time and making less money. But now that he had already promised 1¡­. yanxyan: I understand, I¡¯ll go. After sending his ID to the administrator for registration, so that the tform could book tickets and arrange for the hotel, Yu Yan threw away the take-out box. He was just preparing to continue to y the game when he was nudged on WeChat. Yi Ran: Xiao Yan, are you still streaming? Carry just me? Yu Yan: Okay, you login. Yi Ran hadn¡¯t yed the game for a long time. During this period, he and his family had made up, and he had recovered his funding. All day long, all he did was mess around outside. ¡°Xiao Yan,¡± As soon as Yi Ran entered the room, he shouted, ¡°Can you hear me?¡± ¡°Can hear you.¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°Opening up Sanhok, squad match with random pairing, okay?¡± ¡°Alright, alright. I didn¡¯t get online very much in this period, hands have dulled, I can¡¯t carry you in a duo match.¡± Yu Yanughed and went straight into the game. Yi Ran wasn¡¯t being modest, his skill level was just about average. If he hadn¡¯t touched the game for a while, his technique would really fall a lot. In Bootcamp, where they had jumped to, Yi Ran managed to snatch up guns faster than others, but he was finally knocked down on the ground by the person in the neighbouring house. ¡°Fuck, this guy is running a bot ba!¡± Yi Ran said angrily, ¡°Three shots, all of which hit my head. Just ying, my ass.¡± ¡°You¡¯re not far away from them, and three headshots aren¡¯t impossible.¡± Yu Yan cleaned out the enemies on the floor and asked, ¡°What color were the clothes that person was wearing?¡± ¡°ck suspenders, yellow skirt, and also, I think, wearing a pair of sses.¡± Yi Ran cursed, ¡°Very coquettish.¡± Yu Yan finished looting and ran to the area where Yi Ran had been killed. Just as he was about to enter the room, a figure suddenly appeared on the second floor and started shooting at him. It was the person who had killed Yi Ran. He lost a lot of health. Having justnded, no one had many supplies. Even if Yu Yan had already looted two lootboxes, he still didn¡¯t have a first-aid kit. He crouched at the corner of the wall, and just after applying a bandage, heard footsteps from behind him, someone wasing downstairs. ¡°This person is pretty good,¡± Yu Yan changed to his S686 as he continued, ¡°Life or death depends on these two bullets.¡± Just as he finished speaking, he heard footstepse from the left window. Yu Yan immediately stood up and quickly pressed the spacebar to jump. He dodged three bullets from the enemy¡¯s M16, turned around, fired a blind shot, which didn¡¯t hit. He still didn¡¯t worry. Instead, he stepped back two steps and stuck himself against the wall, positioning himself in the other side¡¯s blind spot. When the enemy changed the angle of their gun to shoot once more, he listened for the sound of the shot before standing up and looking back again. Bang¡ª [You knocked down nilly919 with a S686] Yu Yan said with augh, ¡°I¡¯ve avenged you.¡± Too damn handsome! Worthy of being my sister-inw!! After so many days, his sister-inw still had such appeal when ying games. It wasn¡¯t good for him to say all that in the livestream, so Yi Ran could only praise him in his heart. ¡°Too awesome.¡± He said, ¡°Xiao Yan, when are youing to Jincheng ah? I¡¯ll treat you to dinner, and then how about we go to an Inte cafe to have a game directly after we finish eating? I think if you sit next to me, I will get some buff.¡± Yu Yan was taken by surprise. He had just promised 1, and now even Yi Ran knew? ¡°Maybe on October 2nd.¡± Yi Ran was shocked. ¡°So long from now? Weren¡¯t you in a hurry toe over?¡± Yu Yan also froze. ¡°Who said that?¡± ¡°My Ge ah.¡± His Ge¡­ 1 said that? Yu Yan¡¯s eyes went silly, and now, he understood. No wonder 1 was speaking so strangely today. ¡­had 1 actually thought he was going to go and seek him out in Jincheng? ¡°How about youe earlier?¡± Before he could respond, Yi Ran continued, ¡°Last time my Ge was there, so I couldn¡¯t properly greet you. This time, I¡¯ll make up for you with good wine and good dishes¡­¡± ¡°No¡­ Wait,¡± Yu Yan was even more confused as he asked, ¡°Last time? What time?¡± ¡°That time in Manyang ah.¡± Yu Yan felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat, and even his back was numb. After a while, he asked, ¡°¡­what time in Manyang?¡± [Are you guys guessing riddles? I¡¯m going to faint from hearing this.] [If I remember correctly, this boss¡¯ Ge seems to be 1?? Is the anchor going to go find 1??] Yi Ran exined, ¡°Just the time when you had too much to drink at your ssmate¡¯s party, and my Ge sent you back. You have to say, we really are fated to meet, I recognized you at first sight. It looked like you drank a lot, though you were fine after ba¡­¡± At this point, Yu Yan waspletely and utterly frozen. ¡ª Juurensha: Yessss, yanyan finally found out! And hahaha, Boss Yi suddenly sounding like the needy one in the rtionship. Noks: I think Boss Yi is going to be eating a lot of vinegar unknowingly, at least before he realizes his own feelings. Also, Yanyan knows! It wasn¡¯t a dream! And I (juurensha) have written a GHFOD crossover fic with PUBG, with Xiang Huaizhi finally meeting our Yanyan here! Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! And there¡¯s an audio drama for PUBG that came out! It¡¯s more condensed than the novel, but it¡¯s fun! Chapter 58 - Crossed then drew far away, once again positioned opposite eaChapter other. Chapter 58 - Crossed then drew far away, once again positioned opposite eaChapter other. Edited by Noks Yi Ran saw that he didn¡¯t reply and said, ¡°Xiao Yan, do you see someone on the roof in the N direction?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan hid in the house to apply some medicine, only managing to squeeze out after a while. ¡°See them.¡± [Was it when you asked for leave to go to the ssmate reunion? Ahhhhh, 1 and Xiao Yan actually met, I¡¯m swooning! What does Boss 1 look like ah?] Seeing this line in the barrage, Yu Yan licked his lips and internally said, I also want to know what 1 looks like. But he had forgotten everything about it. Regarding that night, he only remembered holding the toilet, his face full of embarrassment, and vomiting until everything was murky. In fact, that matter had been hovering in the back of his mind this whole time, and he hadn¡¯t been able to set it aside. After all, the hotel charged thousands of yuan for one night and not paying it back made him feel uneasy. Yet, even after posting that message on his Moments such a long time ago, he still hasn¡¯t found the person. Later, when he had asked his ssmates, all of them had also said that they couldn¡¯t remember clearly. With Yi Ran saying this, everything seemed to now make sense. 1 had been on a business trip in Manyang and had just so happened to go to the same club as him. He was exposed to the public every day and getting recognized was normal. 1 saw him drunk and so out ofpassion, had thought of a way to drag him out of that group of ssmates¡­ Yu Yan found an M24, installed a 2x scope on it, and opened the scope quickly to aim at a corner of the opposite house, directly obtaining a headshot. So what had 1 said after that night? He had said that he had returned to Jincheng that night. And then told him to drink less. ¡­ Then he hadn¡¯t paid much attention to him for a week. The more Yu Yan thought about it, the more his heart sank, and his hands moved much faster than before. His reflexes were the ones acting for him pretty much every time he saw someone. After firing 30 bullets to knock down two people in a row, he reloaded and looted everything,pletely ignoring Yi Ran¡¯s frantic screams. At this time, No. 1 turned on his mic and asked, ¡°No. 4, do you have something ah?¡± Yu Yan lowered his head and looted the box. No. 1 ran towards him quickly. He opened the box and saw that it had nearly beenpletely looted. ¡°No. 4, do you have any extra medicine ah, give me some bei.¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t say anything, got on the motorcycle next to him, and rushed away alone. [Teammate asked for interaction, and the anchor cruelly refuses.] [What about the three bags on you, you can¡¯t bear to give your teammate one ah?] Yu Yan was absent-minded as he drove, and didn¡¯t even execute his favorite motorcycle flip move. ¡°I¡¯ve left him half the city, enough for him to use.¡± Yu Yan replied. Yi Ran asked, ¡°Where are you going now ah?¡± ¡°Resort.¡± ¡°??¡± Just after clearing out Bootcamp, without having even cleared out two houses yet, how can he suddenly go to the resort? As far as this route is concerned, those two cliffs were the most bustling ces in the map. But listening to the receding sound of his speeding motorcycle, he didn¡¯t seem to have the slightest inclination ofing back. So this is the world of experts ah, Yi Ran thought. Yu Yan did this asionally when he was ying solo matches. After ying in the most intense area of the map, he would go straight to the next intense area. The times he did this were purely for the livestream, and he never did so in the multiyer matches, out of consideration for his teammates. But right now, his mind was aplete mess. He just wanted to distract himself by ying games instead of stuffily searching houses. When he was nearly at the resort, Yu Yan pursed his lips and asked, ¡°Yi Ran, when did you all return to Jincheng that time?¡± ¡°Went back the next morning.¡± Referring to this, Yi Ran couldn¡¯t help yawning as he continued, ¡°It was so early, and I was so sleepy that if it wasn¡¯t for the fact that I didn¡¯t have any money, I would have booked a room for myself to go and sleep in some more.¡± ¡°That night¡­ Are you sure you saw me?¡± ¡°Yeah, you were wearing a white T-shirt, and there was a girl sitting next to you¡­¡± As Yi Ran was in the middle of speaking, he thought something was wrong and was shocked. ¡°No, what do you mean ah?¡± Yu Yan shook his head. ¡°Nothing, just casually asking.¡± At this time, Paradise Resort had nearly been yed out, with only a few yers in different teams left there. He drove a motorcycle, and the sound of the engine was loud¡ª like a living target galloping across the prairie. [My God, what am I guarding this stream all day and night for? It was all for watching this kind of exciting scene I can¡¯t experience myself!!] [Exciting scene? As soon as the anchor gets off the motorcycle, he will definitely die on the spot within two minutes.] [The one in front is new. Watch, I think the anchor can live for at least five minutes.] [Why wasn¡¯t a quiz game opened for this match ah? If it was open, this person who has never eaten chicken could just lie back and collect money.] Yu Yan straightened his back and clenched his mouse. As soon as he got off the motorcycle, a shot came from the right side. All those bullets hit the ground beside him. He didn¡¯t hide at all, even raising his AKM to the sky. After ten rounds of firing, he knocked over the enemy lying on the roof. The enemy had no teammates, so he jumped to kill him directly. He opened the map and looked around. Paradise Resort was at the center of the circle. He didn¡¯t even think about it before reloading, turning around, and firing at the motorcycle. Bang¡ª With that shot, the motorcycle directly blew up. [???] [What¡¯s going on here? It worked so hard to bring you here, and you just blow it up like that?] [Sit down, normal operations, this is called, ¡°worried that the enemy doesn¡¯t know where I am, so I will say hello to them first¡±] ¡°Just blew up the motorcycle,¡± He said, ¡°Saves me from having other people ride it to run away.¡± He turned around, crouched, crept along the building next to him, went to the roof, and looted that person¡¯s box. The AKM was reced with a full M416, and then hey where the original person had been positioned to look around. Half a minute passed, no one was there. Yi Ran said, ¡°It couldn¡¯t be that that was thest person left ba?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Yan heard a faint noise. Because he couldn¡¯t hear clearly, he wasn¡¯t sure what the noise was. He just knew it wasing from the house under him. He turned on the mic for nearby surroundings. ¡°Is there anyone else here?¡± His tone was t, as if greeting people. ¡°I¡¯m alone, and if you have more people, you cane out and kill me.¡± The barrage screen was immediately covered with question marks and 666. Soon, someone epted his request for interaction. ¡°Really? Bro, it¡¯s just a game, don¡¯t cheat ah.¡± ¡°Not cheating,¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Really.¡± Most stream followers thought that he was deliberately acting to make the stream more dramatic, and only a small number of fans thought something was strange. [Xiao Yan¡¯s expression is so serious¡­] [So happy to win the award that he broke? Think you can kill all 96 people in the whole game?] [Too savage, if I y a match with you, I would have to whip your corpse 360 times with a grenade.] The enemy also thought he was weird enough to be interesting, and moved immediately, as soon as they finished talking, with the sound of their footsteps quickly spreading to Yu Yan¡¯s headphones. Sure enough, there was someone in the room directly beneath him. What he had just heard was probably the sound of the other party changing grenades or tossing things. Reloading his gun, he jumped directly to the balcony, and shot twice at the person on his right after they peeked their head out. Yu Yan quickly crouched behind the window. Three seconds after the gunshot fell, he saw the other side¡¯s head exposed from his perspective. He didn¡¯t even apply a first aid kit before sticking his head out and firing at the other person. [You knocked down Lovepeace81 with an M416] He didn¡¯t rush to kill the enemy off, and instead hid behind the door and applied a first-aid kit. A rush of footsteps sounded from downstairs, indicating two people. He stuck himself behind the door, and let the knocked-down person crawl in front of him. [Kill the person first ah, you¡¯re notcking those bullets. Isn¡¯t it exposing yourself?] Yu Yan turned a deaf ear to the barrage, took out a smoke grenade, pulled its pin, and voiced its countdown at the bottom of his heart. When Yi Chen entered the stream, he only heard a bang. The heavy smoke that emerged from the explosion of the anchor¡¯s smoke grenade rushed downstairs and caught the enemy off guard. [You eliminated Rrrros98k with an M416] [11 kills] ¡°Fuck me.¡± In the game, other people¡¯s voices sounded out, and it seemed like the enemy had turned on the open mic. ¡°Bro, how could you trick us ah?¡± Yu Yan replenished his health as he replied, ¡°I didn¡¯t trick you, I¡¯m a single person.¡± ¡°It¡¯s against the rules for you to y on two teams at once, you know?¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t speak because the system prompt for 1 entering the stream had appeared in the barrage assistant. ¡°Ge, you¡¯re here!¡± Yi Ran had been watching the fight for a long time and saw his brother enter the livestream. He quickly scrambled to greet him, ¡°y the game?¡± Yi Chen waited for a bit, but didn¡¯t hear the voice of the little anchor, so he asked, ¡°Is there still room?¡± The functioning of the newputer hadn¡¯t been checked yet, so this was the perfect time to try it out. Yi Ran replied, ¡°Still have room ah.¡± Now that someone has answered, Yu Yan had to obediently shut his mouth. After a while, Yi Chen¡¯s tone was light as he asked, ¡°Is there?¡± Yu Yan paused and said in a muffled voice, ¡°¡­Yes.¡± In this match, he ended upying on top of a certain building. With only one man¡¯s strength, he persistently defended the whole resort until his teammates arrived. Finally, the three people gathered together, and with the help of the resort being the final circle, sessfully ate chicken. At the end of the match, Yi Ran immediately sent an invitation to his Ge. ¡°Ge.¡± When Yi Chen entered the game lobby, he heard his Muggle cousin¡¯s excited voice saying, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say Xiao Yan wasing to Jincheng? I just asked him, but he said he wasn¡¯ting?¡± Yi Chen was stunned and reflexively looked at the game character next to him. The ck woman said nothing, simply going from a position of standing steadily to preparing. [AHHH THE CP I¡¯M A FAN OF IS GOING TO MEET IN PERSON . I¡¯m not going to wait for New Year¡¯s but will go out to buy firecrackers right now!!!] [Person above doesn¡¯t know what happened before? They¡¯ve already met secretly in person shishishi.] Yi Chen felt that something was wrong, frowned, and asked, ¡°What?¡± ¡°Just what you told me at the old residence ah.¡± Yi Ran said, ¡°And also fromst time, I told him that I was also there at Ginza, and he was so shocked he didn¡¯t believe it.¡± Yi Chen was silent, deep in thought about how to legally throw Yi Ran into the sea to feed the sharks. Yi Ran thought this was something to dwell upon with great relish. The earth was sorge, yet they all still managed to meet by chance. How serendipitous they were ah. But why did he feel that besides himself, the other two people had no interest in talking about it? This eerie silence continued into Manners za. Ten secondster, Yi Ran asked, ¡°Er, where are we jumping?¡± No response. ¡ªUntil the countdown was over, and everyone got on the ne. A yellow dot appeared on the top of Pochinki. A cold yellow dot. Yi Chen cut to the livestream and looked, making sure that the anchor¡¯s microphone was on. The person on the screen was sitting in all seriousness. He couldn¡¯t tell what he was thinking from his expression, his face looked the same as usual. He had just stopped talking. Yi Chen had just entered the stream and wasn¡¯t sure what was going on. When parachuting, he thought about it, then controlled the parachute to draw closer to teammate No. 1 with the yellow icon. The moment he was close to him, the person who had previously always wanted to jump with him suddenly flew sideways to the left¡ª¡ª Two people crossed in the air, then drew far away, once again positioned opposite each other. If the characters had a visible trajectory, the stream followers would see a capital X. Yi Chen: ¡°¡­¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Nooooo Yanyan, don¡¯t freak out, talk to Boss Yi, it¡¯ll be fine! Noks: Oh dear¡­ Yanyan, calm down. You didn¡¯t do anything too embarrassing that night¡­ Well, the Boss finds your actions more adorable than anything¡­ so it should be okay¡­ Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! And there¡¯s an audio drama for PUBG that came out! It¡¯s more condensed than the novel, but it¡¯s fun! Chapter 59 - What position do you want to see, Ill do it for you? Chapter 59 - What position do you want to see, I¡¯ll do it for you? Edited by Noks Yu Yan picked up two S686s as soon as hended on the ground. However, even after turning over two houses, he still couldn¡¯t find any other guns. He just gave up and ran directly in the direction of footsteps, which sounded not far away. Yi Ran and his Ge jumped together. Yi Ran had originally wanted to pick on Yi Chen for being a novice, but Yi Chen managed to search the house faster than he did, seizing the chance to monopolize this unupied house. He hadn¡¯t expected that his Ge, who hadn¡¯t learned much else, was lightning fast in picking up things. Yi Chen jumped into the house and picked up the gun first, while Yi Ran followed closely¡­ and picked up the bullets. Yi Ran whined, ¡°Ge¡­¡­¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t say anything, but his game character suddenly turned around and raised his gun at him. ¡°¡­¡± Although he clearly knew it was unloaded, Yi Ran still felt scared. Couldn¡¯t provoke, couldn¡¯t provoke. He dropped the bullets on the ground. ¡°I¡¯ll go, can I go?¡± Yi Chen ignored him, picked up the bullets, and loaded them. Yi Ran quickly slipped away during this time, out of fear that his Ge would continue to hold a grudge against him andunch two shots at him with a bang. Yi Chen had picked up an Uzi, and while he didn¡¯t really know how to use assault rifles, it was still better than nothing. It could also be used as decoration to scare people. His total game time was less than 50 hours; it was already considered pretty good that he knew how to snipe and take headshots. Yu Yan carried two sprayers and cleared out the two enemies in the nearby house. He looted an AKM from them, opened the map, and hesitated for a moment. He didn¡¯t know where to go. He really wanted to go over to 1, but¡­ he was too embarrassed. For him, the events of the evening of the ssmate reunion were basically aplete nk. He only knew the result. Not only did 1 leave early in the morning, but he also concealed the incident afterwards¡­ he hadn¡¯t even wanted the hotel fees returned. This behavior was very strange. Although he didn¡¯t have much experience in meeting online friends, and if he pondered on it, even if he didn¡¯t know much about them, but one thing was for sure¡ª 1 definitely wasn¡¯t like them. There was only one possibility¡ªthat something had happened that night. But Yu Yan didn¡¯t drink much and had no experience in being drunk, thus he didn¡¯t know what he would be like when he was drunk. Was his drunken state particrly bad, like did he talk carelessly, or kick up a fuss? The only thing that he could remember was that he had clutched onto the toilet¡­ When he recalled that memory, he couldn¡¯t help but feel flustered as a sense of shame spread over his face. ¡­he couldn¡¯t have thrown up on 1? The more he thought, the more disastrous he felt the situation was, and so Yu Yan¡¯s character ended up standing in the same ce for a long time. He was afraid he would never want to drink again in the future. [Why are you standing there and not moving, did I freeze? 111] [111 He¡¯s not moving on my side either.] [Didn¡¯t freeze, Xiao Yan¡¯s in a daze again¡­] Yi Ran ran to the house next door and finally found a handgun. ¡°Ge, do you have any extra guns there ah?¡± ¡°No,¡± Yi Chen replied. ¡°Then will you give me the Uzi? Anyways, you don¡¯t know how to use an assault rifle,¡± Yi Ran said, ¡°I¡¯ll trade a handgun with you for it.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s tone was light as he replied, ¡°You can trade for it with your life.¡± Yi Ran shut up. Bang¡ª A gunshot sounded, which caused Yu Yan to return to his senses. He quickly identified the type of gun and quickly rushed over to the source of the sound without thinking twice. ¡°Don¡¯t go.¡± No. 2 was close to his position on the road, and when he saw that he was heading over there, he immediately reported, ¡°There¡¯s a team over there, with four people.¡± ¡°There should only be two left, I just killed a few people. It¡¯s fine, I¡¯ll go over and assassinate them, thene back.¡± No. 2 had just seen him go up against three people on his own and win, and so had already regarded him as the only hope he had of eating chicken this game. Of course, he couldn¡¯t let him go alone, so followed him decisively. Yu Yan easily found that the sound had originated from behind the shelter on the roof of a building. He was just about to go around and bet big when he saw his teammates approach from the opposite side of the road. At the same time, the enemies hiding in the building on the other side of the road also saw the people on the road and immediately stuck their head out to open a scope. Yu Yan seized the opportunity and raised his gun to shoot. However, he was too far from them. Ten shots only managed to produce one spurt of green blood, and the enemy immediately shrank back behind the shelter after being shot. ¡°No. 1, you get to the roof, and I¡¯ll fight him,¡± said No. 2 as he ran to Yu Yan. ¡°Alright.¡± Yu Yan quickly got to the back door of the building and took off his shoes to slightly cover up the sound of his footsteps. He knew that if he didn¡¯t hurry, the other party¡¯s teammates may arrive at this location. He didn¡¯t have aplete set of gun essories yet, so if they fought, he might not have the advantage. Yu Yan rushed to the top floor, stered himself by a window, and waited for the other party to stick their head out again. The two sides remained in a standoff for half a minute, until the other side finally couldn¡¯t endure anymore. However, he didn¡¯te out to meet No. 2, but instead turned to run away. Yu Yan saw a 98K on his back, gleaming in the light. He frowned, flipped down through the window, and rushed directly into the neighboring house, just in time to hear the footsteps of the other party hurrying downstairs. His footsteps had already betrayed his position. Yu Yan crouched and was about to go up when he heard the sound of a door opening suddenly. He was stunned and quickly turned around to shoot! Sure enough, there were also enemy teammates in this house. They had been hiding in the house the whole time, without making any sound at all. By the time he knocked down the person in front of him to him, the enemies who were upstairs and downstairs had started shooting at him. Yi Ran felt as though he was celebrating the New Year, with the sound of gunfire sounding like firecrackers from far away. He saw that Yu Yan¡¯s health kept decreasing until there was just a sliver of red left in his health bar, while the sound of gunfire kept continuing. The whole situation made him nervous¡ª¡ª [yanxyan knocked down H3391 with an AKM] [yanxyan eliminated H3392 with an AKM] After killing these two people, Yu Yan only had a sliver of health left. He let out a breath and was about to start healing himself when he heard the footsteps of teammate No. 2. He simply stopped the healing action, instead turning around and running to a box, from which he quickly looted the 98K and a 6x scope. At this time, the person who had already been eliminated couldn¡¯t help but turn on the open mic and ask him, ¡°Da Ge, I had already run away, and I¡¯ve admitted I¡¯m a wuss, so why did you still fuckinge after me? We were two people, couldn¡¯t you have waited for your teammates toe and leave me some face?¡± This person had an ent that sounded particrly funny. The corners of Yu Yan¡¯s mouth finally curled a bit, and he tossed out the sentence, ¡°The precious stonends its innocent possessor in jail.¡± That person: ¡°¡­¡± By the time No. 2 arrived, Yu Yan had already looted everything and left. Yi Chen had already finished searching through the rooms at this time and was about to change directions so as to continue searching when he saw the yellow dot, which indicated No. 1¡¯s position, bobbing and weaving, running towards him. He raised his eyebrows and stopped. The two of them met in a small alley between two buildings. Yu Yan had just been ready toe forward, but stopped after clearly seeing all the equipment 1 carried. He saw that the other party was holding a SCAR-L in his hands, and that there was a shiny M24 on his back, which was even equipped with a 8x scope. As soon as Yi Chen was about toe forward, the person in front of him suddenly turned his head to run away. ¡°You wait.¡± Yi Chen stopped him. Yu Yan stopped and went: ¡°¡­?¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Toss me the 98k.¡± Yu Yan was stunned. ¡°Don¡¯t you have an M24?¡± M24 used to be a trash shotgun, but waster modified to be one of the best guns in the map. Because of its high hit rate, it had already reced the 98k from its leading position as the map¡¯s sniper gun. ¡°I want the one on your back.¡± Yi Chen paused and asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you run over here just to give it to me?¡± He said it matter-of-factly ¡ª the doors here had all been opened, and there were no gunshots in this neighborhood, so there was no other reason for the little anchor to run here. And the other party¡¯s route clearly showed that he came to find him. Yu Yan had originally nned to toss the gun down diligently and then leave, but his ns were unexpectedly punctured in such a manner. ¡°¡­an M24 is better than a 98K,¡± he exined, fearing that the other side didn¡¯t understand. ¡°You just use that ba.¡± Just as he finished saying that, there was a deng sound, and an M24 appeared in front of him. Yi Chen dropped his gun and urged him. ¡°Take it off quickly, give it to me.¡± ¡°¡­¡± [???] [AHHHH my god, I love this social anchor, I¡¯m about to ascend right now!!!] [I am unterally announcing that this would be the best golden sentence for the sixth chapter of Little Anchor x Big Boss!!] Yu Yan originally hadn¡¯t had any skewed thoughts, but after seeing these lines in the barrage, his heart started beating against his skin so hard, and he became so nervous that he couldn¡¯t even stutter out a single syble for a long time. He quickly tossed the 98K and turned to run. Yi Chen stared at his back and couldn¡¯t helpughing. ¡°Come back, pick up the M24.¡± The person paused, turned around again, picked up the gun, and turned around to run away again. Yi Chen loaded the 98K and followed him. He would go wherever the little anchor went. He followed him for about four houses ba. Yu Yan finally couldn¡¯t help it and asked, ¡°You¡­ What else do you need, I¡¯ll give it to you ba. First aid kit, expansion clip¡­ Do you have a grip?¡± Yi Chen replied unhurriedly, ¡°Notcking those.¡± ¡°Then search here.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I¡¯ll go to the end of the city.¡± ¡°No, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s tone was teasing, and what he said was, ¡°With all the gunshots just now, I¡¯m a little afraid.¡± ? Yi Ran thought that something was wrong with his ears. He never thought that he would one day hear the word ¡°afraid¡±e out of his Ge¡¯s mouth. Yu Yan fell mute and could only say, ¡°¡­then you follow ba.¡± Five minutester, the map shrank, and they had to outrun the poison circle. All of a sudden, the stream followers realized that these people, who had fought so hard and rushed to the other side of the map, were now fearful while running from the poison circle. ¡°We¡¯ll run along the circle ah?¡± Yi Ran asked, ¡°Directly drive to Georgopol bei?¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°There are too many people there.¡± He opened the map and picked out a fairly good house located in the wild area. ¡°Go there ba?¡± No. 2 suggested, ¡°I think the circle must be at Georgopol, are you three a group? Then those two are novices ba? No. 1, how about we let them hide while we go to Georgopol to kill people?¡± Yu Yan had also originally wanted to go to Georgopol, but the person behind him was a man of his word, and he had been following him since they had swapped guns. He wasn¡¯t that skilled that he could attend to other people while fighting in the semi-final circle. ¡°Just go to this wild area ba.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Wuss out a little to eat chicken steadily this match.¡± Yu Yan was as good as his word and in this match, before the circle shrunk, by relying on the mountain being the highest point, they managed to kill two teams in session from the shelter of the mountain and sessfully ate chicken. As he yed all night, for most of the time, Yu Yan had been followed by a shadow full of a sense of presence. With great effort, he managed to get tossed about until the end of the stream, so Yu Yan let out a heavy breath when he turned off the livestream. He sat in his chair, opened his cellphone notes, found the note where he had written down the fees of the hotel, and transferred that amount to 1. He neither received a reply after a long time nor did he get a transfer confirmation notice. Yu Yan felt that it was very painful to just wait like this, so he simply threw his cell phone to the head of the bed and went to the bathroom to take a bath. Lukewarm water fell onto his hair and then down to his feet. Yu Yan spent a while washing his hair as wild conjectures and fantasies spun around in his head. 1 probably felt that he was troublesome ba. Obviously, he couldn¡¯t drink, but he still got drunk. His drunken state must not have been very good either, After he got drunk, he spoke carelessly and went crazy, throwing up everywhere nonstop. He remembered his drunken appearance and was filled with remorse, along with a sense of frustration that made him regret ever being born. It was too terrible. Lying back in bed, he picked up his cellphone and looked at it. 1 still hadn¡¯t replied to him, and the transfer still hadn¡¯t been epted. On the other hand, a message from Yi Ran had arrived first. Yi Ran: Xiao Yan, continue tomorrow? Yu Yan replied with an ¡°okay,¡± and Yi Ran¡¯s profile picture suddenly changed into a selfie. He clicked and looked at it. The young man in the selfie had big eyebrows and big eyes, had carelessly crossed his legs, and appeared especially sunny. Yu Yan stared at him for a long time, thinking that since 1 and Yi Ran were bros, then would they look like each other? He had to say that after learning it had been 1 who had helped him at the night of that reunion, he felt that the most difficult thing was that he was already so miserable, but he had also evenpletely forgotten 1¡¯s appearance. The more he thought about it, the less satisfied he became. After a while, Yu Yan took a deep breath. If he was so fixated on him, he should at least know exactly who he was fixated on. Yu Yan: Yi Ran, do you have a picture of 1? Yi Ran was stunned. It¡¯s the middle of the night, why does sister-inw want his Ge¡¯s picture now¡­. Oh, fuck, wait¡ª¡ª Long night, separated and apart, what else could he want it for?! Yi Ran, who was given a start, typed quickly: Yes, yes, yes, you wait. This interest¡ªhe understood, he understood too well. Yi Ran quickly switched to his Ge¡¯s WeChat and sent him a message directly. Yi Ran: Ge, do you have any selfies over there ah? Knowing that if he only asked like this, Yi Chen probably wouldn¡¯t answer, so Yi Ran thought about it and then sent another sentence. Yi Ran: Sister-inw asked me for it, he¡¯s probably shy, too embarrassed to ask you yourself [dog head] Yi Chen, who had juste out of the bath, picked up his cell phone, squinted, and read all the messages he had received. Yu Yany on the bed holding his cellphone, staring at the ceiling as he quietly waited for Yi Ran to send the photo, hoping to recall the details of that night after seeing the photo. His cellphone vibrated, and he picked it up quickly¡ª¡ª [1 has sent you a video-call request] ¡°¡­.¡± This was to let him see the cat ma? In normal times, Yu Yan would have picked up without even thinking about it, but what he had discovered today had left a huge impact on him, and he still hadn¡¯t figured out how to talk about it. One minuteter, the video call automatically hung up. He had just breathed a sigh of relief when the other party video-called again. After several times of this back and forth video-calling, Yu Yan knew that he would not be able to hide tonight. He gritted his teeth and when the fifth video-call request came over, clicked to pick it up. Anyway, he couldn¡¯t hide forever. The video interface jumped out, and he looked at it, and upon seeing the scene on the screen, immediately forgot the mental draft that he had just hastily typed up¡ª¡ª There were no cats in today¡¯s video. Only 1. Just¡­plete and whole, a 1 with nose and eyes. The man¡¯s eyebrows and eyes were deep, the contours of his face clear, his nose and lips thin. He looked fiercer than ordinary people. At this time, he was lying on the big chair in azy manner, and because he had called just after a bath, he still had some droplets of water on his chin, and from the depths of his eyes emerged an unknowable feeling. He just gazed at Yu Yan in that way through the screen. Yu Yan¡¯s face was red, and his heart was pounding. He couldn¡¯t speak for a long time. It was that man¡ªthe one in the ck hoodie who had been sitting in the neighboring booth in Ginza. After a while, he found his voice. He swallowed and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°You¡­ How¡­¡± ¡°What¡¯s the point in looking at a picture?¡± Yi Chen interrupted him and raised his eyebrows. ¡°What position do you want to see, I¡¯ll do it for you?¡± ¡ª The author has something to say: Yu Xiao Yan (blushing): I, I want¡­. ¡ª Juurensha: Eeeee, Yanyan finally got to see (and remember) 1¡¯s face!

It¡¯s more condensed than the novel, but it¡¯s fun! Chapter 60 - This person was too kind Chapter 60 - This person was too kind Edited by Noks Yu Yan sat up straight on the bed, held his cell phone, and instinctively answered, ¡°Any position is fine.¡± Yi Chen paused, then with a voice carrying traces ofughter, asked, ¡°You¡¯re really taking it seriously?¡± ¡°No,¡± Yu Yan returned to his senses and said, ¡°I¡­ won¡¯t look at pictures now.¡± In the future, he shouldn¡¯t tell Yi Ran anything¡ª this person sold out his teammates far too quickly¡ªYu Yan warned himself vigntly. Yi Chen let out an ¡°en¡± and asked, ¡°Are your fingers tired after hanging up so many video calls?¡± ¡°¡­Not tired.¡± Yu Yan looked at the person on the cellphone, feeling somewhat at loss, braced himself, and exined, ¡°I thought you called me so that I could see the cat. I¡¯m a little sleepy today and just wanted to go to bed early, so I hung up the calls.¡± Yi Chen also didn¡¯t expose him. ¡°Little Fool? I don¡¯t have much energy to look after it these days, so it¡¯s been sent to my mother.¡± Hearing the new name of the cat, Yu Yan asked, ¡°Doesn¡¯t it already have a name?¡± Yi Chen replied, ¡°Didn¡¯t the names sh?¡± Yu Yan originally didn¡¯t get it, but after seeing the smile that emerged at the corner of 1¡¯s mouth, he immediately understood. ¡­meaning that the cat¡¯s name shed with his own. ¡°¡­I don¡¯t mind.¡± Just as he finished saying that, the man on the screen suddenly raised his hand and rubbed his temple with his fingers. Yu Yan blurted out, ¡°Do you not feel well? Why did you leave the hospital so soon?¡± ¡°Nothing serious, just a little concussion. The number of beds in the hospital are tight now, and the doctors won¡¯t let me take up space.¡± Yu Yan took it seriously and frowned as he asked, ¡°Which hospital? This is simply not taking responsibility for their patients.¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows andughed. ¡°I¡¯m joking. And isn¡¯t there also your talisman?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know if that thing is effective or not, let¡¯s not be too feudal and superstitious. If you don¡¯t feel well, you must promptly go to the hospital, it won¡¯t be good to dy.¡± This man had climbed half of the Tianshan Mountain to get a charm for him, but now he was lecturing him on not being feudal and superstitious. Yi Chen replied, ¡°It¡¯s effective.¡± He picked up his cellphone, walked all the way to the kitchen, and found a ce to prop it up. Yu Yan only saw the screen shake during this while. When it was stable again, he saw a semi-open kitchen. The person on the screen was messing with a coffee machine. Yu Yan asked, ¡°Sote, still drinking coffee?¡± ¡°Used to it.¡± Yi Chen, who was cleaning a cup, suddenly said, ¡°That day in Manyang¡­¡± Here it was. All of Yu Yan¡¯s words disappeared at once, and his heart began to pound again. Yi Chen only brought up the subject but didn¡¯t go on. He didn¡¯t know how much the little anchor had learned about that day, and he didn¡¯t want to say too much. Silence reigned for more than ten seconds. Yu Yan felt like he was at an execution field, with a big knife hanging over his head. He couldn¡¯t tell when it was about to fall, and so it was especially ufortable. After a few more moments, Yu Yan became the first who couldn¡¯t hold out any longer. He pursed his lips, and his tone was very sincere as he exined, ¡°That day at the reunion, I hadn¡¯t seen my ssmates in a long time, so I forgot about appearances and drank too much, and also, I only remember things from then in fragments¡­¡± He gritted his teeth and asked, ¡°That night¡­ Did I throw up on you?¡± Yi Chen: ¡°¡­¡± Seeing the other side remain silent, Yu Yan hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯m really so sorry, if I had known my alcohol tolerance was so low, I would have drank less¡­ Were your clothes messed up because I threw up? I-is it toote for me to pay for dry cleaning now? No, I¡¯ll directly buy you another set ba.¡± Yi Chen now had an expression disying full interest on his face, but he still didn¡¯t speak. Yu Yan¡¯s heart sank. It was over; the situation that night might be more even serious than he had imagined. ¡°It couldn¡¯t be that&#k2026;¡± He awkwardly asked, ¡°Did I throw up on your face?¡± Besides this, he really couldn¡¯t think how he could have provoked 1, so much so that he made him leave early morning the next day by ne. Yi Chen asked, ¡°You don¡¯t remember anything?¡± Yu Yan hesitated for a moment and replied honestly, ¡°Remember a little.¡± ¡°En?¡± ¡°Just,¡± He was embarrassed as he confessed, ¡°Me holding the toilet.¡± Yi Chenughed. He went back to his study and put the coffee cup to the side. ¡°You didn¡¯t throw up on me.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Yu Yan was startled. ¡°Really?¡± ¡°En.¡± Yu Yan felt happy from the bottom of his heart upon hearing this, but then became worried again. ¡°But if that didn¡¯t happen¡­¡± Yi Chen threw out the excuse he had thought up, his tone calm as he said, ¡°Was afraid that when you woke up you¡¯d kick up a fuss about paying me back.¡± ¡°?¡± ¡°Those wines.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Usually with gift money, you can¡¯t return it because the WeChat transfer needs to be confirmed by the other party. At that time, I was right in front of you, so wouldn¡¯t you have been able to do whatever you wanted to do?¡± Yu Yan was stunned and remembered the alcohol that the waiter had brought over in Ginza that night. He had even forgotten about this! ¡°I asked you about it afterwards back then, and you didn¡¯t admit it.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°And you weren¡¯t in front of me then?¡± This little anchor was actually not that easy to fool. Yi Chen said, ¡°Since I wasn¡¯t nning on letting you pay me back, I just didn¡¯t bring up the money at all.¡± Yu Yan frowned and pondered over his words for a long time. Yi Chen waited quietly, wondering if there were any other loopholes in his statement. After a long time, Yu Yan only said, ¡°¡­then now that I know, I still have to pay you back for the drinks.¡± ¡ªSlipped away unpunished. Yi Chen opened some documents and said, ¡°Those were your ssmates from junior high that day?¡± Having settled that worry, Yu Yan said with relief, ¡°En, we hadn¡¯t seen each other in a long time.¡± Remembering what he had heard that day, Yi Chen¡¯s tone was a little heavy as he warned, ¡°Be careful when making friends. Even if you haven¡¯t seen each other for many years, if you can¡¯t get along with them, there¡¯s no need to force yourself to suffer.¡± Yu Yan was startled, and it took him awhile to understand that the other side was referring to Li Hang. ¡°En, he really wasn¡¯t so mean before.¡± Speaking of this, Yu Yan thought of something and didn¡¯t continue. He looked at the person on the screen and asked, ¡°You¡¯re still not going to sleep?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, they¡­ What¡¯s the date of the flight the tform booked for you? ¡± ¡°Don¡¯t know yet, it should be October 2.¡± Yi Chen frowned, ¡°Sote?¡± ¡°It¡¯s notte, the event is on October 3.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°They¡¯re reimbursing both the hotel fees and airfare, and it seems that they have invited a lot of anchors. If we go early, then the hotel would cost them a lot.¡± They didn¡¯tck the money for hotels. Yi Chen rubbed his fingertips and was just ready to say something when he heard a click on his cellphone, and the video interface suddenly disappeared. Yu Yan had been speaking normally when his cellphone interface suddenly went ck, and he was stunned. He clicked the screen twice, and the charging icon immediately shed. He had actually run out of battery!! He held his cellphone,pletely stunned for a few seconds. Then he hurried to his bedside and connected the charging cord. The charging icon immediately popped up on the cellphone screen. Three minutester, he stared at the still-dark screen, wondering why he hadn¡¯t bought the phone that would provide two hours of talking with only five minutes of charging. When he finally managed to start up his phone, a few messages also popped up. 1: ? 1: Sleeping? 1: Good night. Yu Yan¡¯s fingertips, which had automatically gone for the video call button, stopped. ¡­The other party had already said good night. Would it be too strange if he video-called him again? Yu Yan: My cellphone just ran out of power. 1: En, it¡¯s one o¡¯clock, sleep ba. Yu Yan stared at this string of words for a few seconds, then very slowly replied with an ¡°okay.¡± How could he sleep now? He ced his cellphone back on the head of the bed, still feeling that he hadn¡¯t really snapped out of his daze yet. He had finally gotten to see 1. He was as he had imagined¡­ No, he was even better than what he had imagined. The facial features of a mature man, hiszy expression when talking, even his casual actions when making coffee¡ªall of it was very fascinating. He remembered that he had also stared at 1 for a long time in the Ginza booth, and that they had even locked eyes for a few seconds. What was 1 thinking at that time? He didn¡¯t look much different than he did in the videos, so the other party should have recognized him at that time and also heard his conversation with Li Hang. In order to not let him be too embarrassed in front of his ssmates, he had said he was a fan and sent over a whole table of alcohol? Yu Yan turned over and buried his face in the pillow. ¡­This person was too kind. This was what he was thinking when his cell phone went off again. Yu Yan¡¯s head swished up, and he quickly picked up his mobile phone. Yi Ran: Xiao Yan, I remembered wrong, I don¡¯t seem to have any pictures of my Ge. Then I¡¯ll sneak a picture for you another day? Yu Yan still remembered that this person was the informer, so he hesitated for a moment before deciding not to reply. After having sent the message a long time ago and still not having received a reply, Yi Ran thought about it and opened his Ge¡¯s WeChat chat again. Yi Ran: Ge, are you asleep? A red exmation mark popped out the moment the message was sent. [1 has turned on friend verification, and you are not his (her) friend. Please send a friend request first, and you can chat only after the other party has epted your request. ] ¡ª¡ª Lu Xiuhe was so happy to learn that Yu Yan was going to Jincheng. ¡°Xiao Yan, what hotel did the tform arrange for you? Is it a single bed or a double bed room?¡± Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°If it¡¯s a double bed, can you take me along? I¡¯ll pay you half of the hotel fees.¡± [You¡¯re dating online and you still want to squeeze into a nest with Xiao Yan? Are you promising at all on your own rtionship-front?] When Lu Xiuhe saw this line in the barrage, he showed a rarely-seen shy appearance. ¡°My baby and I are both not casual people, we¡¯re just meeting for the first time, not talking about stuff like that.¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°Don¡¯t know yet, but if it¡¯s a double bed,e along ba, no need to pay.¡± Lu Xiuhe pitched his voice high as he eximed, ¡°Love you so much! Let¡¯s go, fight and eat chicken. My baby can¡¯t surf the Inte today, so I can apany you for the whole day, and we can count it as me paying off the debt.¡± [Lying there and eating chicken counts as paying off the debt? Do you want any face lolololol] At the other end, Mo Nancheng came back from ying basketball, sweating and gasping. He went to the stands, took a drink of water, and looked at the man who was wearing earphones and watching his cellphone. ¡°Bro, we only managed to organize this basketball game for the middle-aged with great difficulty, and you¡¯re really not going to y ah? Didn¡¯t you y basketball very well before?¡± ¡°Not ying,¡± Yi Chen said lightly, ¡°I¡¯m an injured person.¡± Mo Nanchengughed. ¡°Come on ba, just that little injury¡­ Why are you watching a livestream again? Right, didn¡¯t that person say that he wanted toe find you? Why hasn¡¯t he still not arrived in Jincheng?¡± ¡°It¡¯ll be some time before hees.¡± ¡°Alright ba.¡± Mo Nancheng suddenly thought of something. ¡°Also¡­ Which stars did you invite to your annual g? If my ex is here, I won¡¯t go ah.¡± ¡°At present, there¡¯s only one,¡± said Yi Chen. ¡°One?¡± Mo Nancheng was a little surprised. ¡°Didn¡¯t all the big brands pile on before¡­ Who?¡± ¡°Zuo Zhen.¡± ¡°Zuo Zhen? That male idol? The leader of the Pz group?¡± Mo Nancheng was left speechless. ¡°It couldn¡¯t be that you invited this person over to sing and dance ba?¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°Then how did he attract your esteemed attention?¡± Yi Chen rolled his eyes at him. ¡°He used to be a professional yer.¡± ¡°¡­What kind? Is it the kind of professional yer I¡¯m thinking of?¡± ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°There will be several gamepetitions on the spot there.¡± ¡°Oh, very good. However, didn¡¯t Zuo Zhen make a post on Weibo saying that he would soon focus on films only?¡± Mo Nancheng asked, ¡°I have a friend who wanted to make a TV drama starring him before, the kind to just scoop up fans¡¯ money. Tch, it¡¯s said that Zuo Zhen replied with shit all back then, made me nearly die fromughing.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t know. It¡¯s said that we had just reached out and he agreed.¡± ¡°Also, a star would have to be stupid to refuse your invitation.¡± ¡°It wasn¡¯t me; the event manager was the one to send the invitation.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Did you receive the invitation?¡± Mo Nancheng replied, ¡°Got it, but I¡¯m not nning on going.¡± Yi Chen nced at him coolly. ¡°What, there¡¯s no cost for producing the invitation?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Mo Nancheng replied, ¡±Oh, I¡¯m really sad. Didn¡¯t I say I wanted to go after that female anchor called Tuantuan ma, but who knew that a fucking trending topic would break out on Weibo yesterday, saying that she¡¯s with another male anchor. No energy for that now.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Yaaay, Yanyan finally meeting Boss Yi in person (this time) went really well! And no spoilers, but Zuo Zhen will be pretty importantter on. A fan Tik Tok video by lemonmangosteen about Boss Yi¡¯s camboy antics is here! And since the (very long) StarTV g chapter will being up in a month or so, in conjunction with the CG 5k giveaway (more details here), we thought that we¡¯d do a little event of sorts! If PUBG gets 2 pieces of fanart or 1 fanfic, we will not split the StarTV g chapter but post it in its entirety on the day part 1 should be scheduled (which should be around¡­.8/20 I think?) Sound alright? Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! And there¡¯s an audio drama for PUBG that came out! It¡¯s more condensed than the novel, but it¡¯s fun! Chapter 61 - Under the heavens, you are the one who has the best relationship with Xiao Yan Chapter 61 - Under the heavens, you are the one who has the best rtionship with Xiao Yan Edited by xiin and Noks Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, ¡°Is that right? Which male anchor?¡± Having said his piece, Mo Nancheng was about to return to the basketball court, but upon hearing that question, he felt a little surprised. In his impression of Yi Chen, Yi Chen had never been interested in these kinds of things. ¡°Don¡¯t remember, let me check ah.¡± He took out his cellphone, opened his Weibo, and asked, ¡°Could it be that you know Tuantuan?¡± Yi Chen replied simply, ¡°We¡¯ve gamed together before.¡± ¡°What game? I¡¯ll go learn it, and we can all y together.¡± Mo Nancheng found the relevant topic trending on the search list, to see that it had now jumped to No. 17 on the hotlist. ¡°Look, this is it.¡± Yi Chen nced at it, then paused. #Tuantuan/yanxyan, sweet# ¡°¡­¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Open it.¡± Mo Nancheng gave him his cellphone. ¡°You take a look at it first, I¡¯m going to go y ball ah, they¡¯re waiting for me.¡± Yi Chen ignored his words, epted his cellphone quickly, and clicked on the topmost Weibo post in the trending topics hotlist. [E-Sports Express: #Tuantuan/yanxyan, sweet# We hear that StarTV¡¯s entertainment section¡¯s first Jiejie Tuantuan is with the rookie PUBG anchor yanxyan? [/ question]. Stream followers have picked up hints of all kinds of interactions between them. It¡¯s said that Tuantuan opened a side ount to y PUBG, met yanxyan, and yanxyan even helped her get back at her teammates? Recently, they met in person, a single man and woman, and they even went to Nanqi Temple together to pray¡­ then posted a group photo of the two of them. This new male anchor¡¯s appearance could count as being in the tip-top of StarTV¡¯s anchors ba? Seems like his technique is also very good.] The picture attached to this post was the group picture the two people had posted on Weibo. This particr Weibo post didn¡¯t have manyments or likes, so Yi Chen opened that section to take a look. [He does look pretty good, but I remember that this male anchor seems to have been exposed to be a botter?] [Tuantuan, the first Jie of the entertainment section? Don¡¯t joke with me, StarTV has loads of female anchors who¡¯re better looking than her.] [Does the person above me have vige inte? yanxyan wasn¡¯t revealed to be a botter, the site officials even released a notice, got it?] Yi Chen didn¡¯t look over the otherments carefully, but at a nce saw a poprment mixed in with the rest. [Is 1YanTang open for business today ma: This picture really has some ؼؼwell suited vor, I¡¯m going to save the picture first. They¡¯ve even be a trending topic, could it be that they¡¯re really together?] ¨DHow could you believe in something the marketing department released? ¨DCan you lift your head up and look at your own ID beforementing? ¨DAs a fan, can your heart not be a little firmer? Yi Chen thought all this expressionlessly. Putting Mo Nancheng¡¯s cell phone aside, he picked up his own cellphone. Sure enough, someone was already asking about this in the livestream¡¯s barrage. The little anchor, who was wearing headphones, spoke with a nk expression, ¡°Trending search? What trending search¡­ Me and Tuantuan? I¡¯m not ying dumb, I really don¡¯t know what you guys are talking about¡­ I¡¯ll have a look after this match ba, I really don¡¯t check Weibo that often.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s brow had just smoothed out a little when he saw a special effect jump out, and the screen showed the words: Little ya, Little Tuan has entered the livestream. [Tuantuan¡¯s here!! It can¡¯t be that they want to show off their love here ma?!] [I still haven¡¯t quitee around yet. Tuantuan was still sending fluff to the 1YanTang girls in the group a few days ago, how could she betray the group today? I¡¯m crying liao.] [Followed Tuantuan here. Does this new anchor want to hold our Tuan¡¯s thighah? You set up the trending search yourself ba? I watch Tuantuan¡¯s livestream every day, howe I couldn¡¯t tell that she was dating someone?] Tuantuan didn¡¯t look at the barrage and asked just as she came in, ¡°Xiao Yan, do you have space to carry me to eat chicken?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Yu Yan replied, using this as an escape route. ¡°Carry me along in the next match.¡± Tuantuan said, ¡°I just bought a new set of clothes, yet as a result, I turned into a box every time Inded, and my outfit was picked up by others&#k2015;it¡¯s too annoying. In a while, protect me so that I can keep wearing it for a bit longer.¡± Yu Yan said with augh, ¡°Okay, login and wait for me first.¡± Mo Nancheng had just made a basket worth three-points, and was about to take a break for two minutes to brag a little when he saw that the man sitting on the steps had suddenly stood up. He froze, then threw the ball to the person next to him and shouted, ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°Going back,¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t even turn his head as he replied. ¡°Hey, wait a minute, why are you rushing back? Aren¡¯t you not going to thepany these two days?¡± Mo Nancheng asked. ¡°Also, you didn¡¯t drive here, so how are you going back?¡± ¡°Taxi.¡± Since this was the person he had invited out himself, and since he was still injured, Mo Nancheng felt embarrassed to let him leave by himself. Anyway, only two minutes remained of the fourth quarter of the game. He simply told the people on the court, ¡°Not ying anymore, not ying anymore, there¡¯s only this small amount of time left, and we already have 20 points more than you. This should just count as our win ah¡­ Yi Chen, wait for me, I¡¯ll send you back!¡± In the car, Mo Nancheng, who was driving, asked, ¡°Do you really know Tuantuan? Is that trending topic true ma, is she really with that male anchor?¡± ¡°No,¡± replied Yi Chen. ¡°Really?¡± Mo Nancheng cheered up. ¡°Like I said¡­That male anchor looks pretty good, but he also looks as if not all his hair has grown in yet.¡± Yi Chen nced at him and retorted, ¡°You¡¯ve even learned to gossip recently, getting old?¡± Mo Nancheng replied, ¡°I¡¯m just casually saying this ma. At first, I thought that the news wasn¡¯t very reliable, butter I realized that since Tuantuan is very attractive, it¡¯s normal that most young men won¡¯t be able to resist her looks. Maybe he could really pursue and catch her¡­¡± ¡°He doesn¡¯t like Tuantuan.¡± Mo Nancheng was stunned. ¡°How do you know?¡± Before going to bed, the little anchor would listen to clips of me and him, so you tell me how I know. Thinking of this, Yi Chen¡¯s mood turned better. He opened the window to let in some fresh air. ¡°Why do you have so many questions, concentrate on driving. I don¡¯t want to have a second traffic ident.¡± The basketball court wasn¡¯t far away, so they hadn¡¯t driven for even 20 minutes before he got home. Yi Chen turned on theputer and directly entered the live stream. ¡°Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan! Quicklye and save me, these two are chasing me!¡± Tuantuan cried. ¡°There¡¯s also a team behind us.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Lu Xiuhe is heading over to you.¡± ¡°I see that, but I don¡¯t get a feeling of safety with him.¡± Tuantuan said, being brutally honest. ¡°Why are you even looking down on others?¡± Lu Xiuhe was unwilling to ept this. ¡°I might not y as well as Xiao Yan, but I¡¯m not that noob ba. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely deal with them.¡± Yu Yan was concentrating on the team behind them. Just after killing an enemy, he saw two messages appear at the top right corner of the screen. Tuantuan and Lu Xiuhe had both been knocked down by the two people behind them. Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°¡­A mistake, it was really a mistake, my ¡õ¡õ was tossed off track.¡± Tuantuan sighed as she said, ¡°I just knew it. In the future, I don¡¯t care, I¡¯ll always follow behind Xiao Yan, that way, I won¡¯t die so easily.¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t answer, he waspletely absorbed in ying the game diligently. He was being attacked from the front and back, and his situation wasn¡¯t good. After two minutes of such a standoff, the two enemy teams banded together to attack him. Fortunately, he managed to kill off two enemies before he died, which could be considered as sabotaging their gaming experience. He only realized that Yi Chen had entered the room after quitting the game and seeing the barrage. [Yanyan¡¯s Daddy: Is there space ma?] That was a message from five minutes ago. Ever since his PC had gotten drenched in liquid, theputer¡¯s performance had really regressed a lot. Now, when running the livestream, Yu Yan had to block the disy effects that appeared whenever a gift was given, along with the special effects that appeared whenever a boss entered the stream. He could only look and thank for the gifts given by the stream followers after he finished ying a match. He nced over quickly, to make sure that 1 was still in the stream, after confirming which he rxed and replied, ¡°Yes, there¡¯s space, do you want toe?¡± [Yanyan¡¯s Daddy: En.] [Ever since I found out the anchor¡¯s real name is Yan, I can¡¯t look directly at 1¡¯s ID¡­] [Does this ID mean exactly what I think it means? Give me a straight answer ba.] [Are you CP fans crazy? Don¡¯t you know that staying in the fold and only talking to yourselves is the cutest? How could there be so many broken things popping up while watching a livestream? Tuantuan and Xiao Yan have both announced their rtionship, yet you guys are still here yelling about 1YanTang, 1YanTang all the time, aren¡¯t you annoying?] Yu Yan saw this and frowned lightly as he asked, ¡°What rtionship announcement?¡± ¡°Aiya, I forgot all about that.¡± Tuantuan said, ¡°Our romance has be a trending topic on the search hotlists.¡± ¡°¡­Trending topic? That Weibo post?¡± No. Wait. Yu Yan was muddled and asked, ¡°Romance? Us two? When did this happen, why don¡¯t I know about this?¡± While he was speaking, a game character quickly entered the game lobby and at a neither fast nor slow pace, assumed a ready state. ¡°What a coincidence, I don¡¯t know either.¡± As soon as Yi Chen appeared in the lobby, Tuantuan took a stance and defended herself. ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense, I would never betray 1YanTang.¡± Yu Yan was already immune to the phrase ¡®1YanTang¡¯. He opened Weibo and nced at the post, wondering out loud, ¡°The first post in the trending search list has so fewments and likes¡­ How did it enter the trending topics?¡± Tuantuan replied, ¡°Someone bought it.¡± The microphone icon next to Yii11c lit up and with an even tone, albeit one that sounded inexplicably cold, he asked, ¡°Did you buy it?¡± Tuantuan denied three times in quick session as she exined, ¡°I didn¡¯t, I wouldn¡¯t, don¡¯t misunderstand me ah! I¡¯m a female anchor, I depend on bosses rewarding me to eat, I would have to be stupid to announce a love affair. This trending search for this topic was probably bought by people who can¡¯t stand me. Today, my Weibo¡¯sments section looks like arge-scale fan-removal site.¡± Too real. But Yi Chen wasn¡¯t satisfied, and so he questioned, ¡°What does it have to do with him if other people can¡¯t stand you?¡± Tuantuan replied, ¡°¡­Maybe because I have a good rtionship with Xiao Yan?¡± Yi Chen stopped talking. After entering the game, they discussed for a while before deciding to jump to the upper city area. Everyone jumped to the building in the middle of the city area. As soon as Tuantuannded, she heard four gunshots go off nearby and immediately grew scared. ¡°Why are there so many people in the upper city area? Xiao Yan, have you found a gun yet? It seems that two teams are fighting here, how about youe over and take all their heads¡­ and save me while you¡¯re at it?¡± She had just finished speaking when Yi Chen said, ¡°I don¡¯t have a gun. Someone is next door, and I got shot.¡± ¡°I¡¯ming.¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t even think about it before quickly loading his ammunition and running in 1¡¯s direction. ¡°Tuantuan, you should find a ce to hide first ba.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Tuantuan felt wronged and tucked herself into a corner while raising a gun to point at the door. ¡°Okay ba.¡± After cleaning up the city, it was time to run from the poison circle. Tuantuan ran halfway down the road and then saw a car parked at the side of the road. She cheered up and said, ¡°There¡¯s a big sports car here, Xiao Yane here quickly.¡± Yi Chen suggested, ¡°I see a motorcycle, will we be able to see a midair-backflip today?¡± ¡°¡­Yes.¡± Yu Yan immediately turned, ran for a long time, and sat in the driver¡¯s seat of the motorcycle. ¡°Tuantuan, can you drive? If not, let Lu Xiuhe drive.¡± And so the audience watched the anchor take the big boss and look for high peaks along the entire road to execute midair flips off of, and he arrogantly entered the circle in that manner. On Tuantuan¡¯s side¨D ¨D¨DBang. When the car hit the tree, the two of them lost some health. Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Ouch¡­ I¡¯ve been ying LoL for a long time and haven¡¯t eaten chicken in awhile. My hands have be a bit unused to driving now, so you¡¯ll have to make allowances for me.¡± Tuantuan: ¡°¡­¡± After smoothly entering the second circle, the four people gathered together and crouched in a room in the wild area. Yu Yan got off the motorcycle and said, ¡°1,e¡­ Follow me.¡± The two of them snuck into the small wooden house beside them, and Yu Yan pulled out a ton of things from his inventory and plopped them down. ¡°Extra essories, check and see if there¡¯s anything you¡¯re missing?¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and stated, ¡°Let me have a look.¡± A heavy gunshot resounded, and Tuantuan didn¡¯t even have time to react before her character was knocked down to the ground. She was just about to say something when Lu Xiuhe, who was next to her, also fell to his knees. Tuantuan looked at the two people who were acting so sweetly situated in the nearby house and said heavily, ¡°Boss 1, I understand that Xiao Yan has a good rtionship with you. Under the heavens, you are the one who has the best rtionship with Xiao Yan. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s an urgent situation right now, so could you let him help us first?¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Ah Boss Yi, have to prove who¡¯s at the top of Yanyan¡¯s priorities¡­hahaha. And let¡¯s wee xiin who is kindly taking the time to help us out with editing while Divi is out recovering! Noks: Hahaha¡­ Poor Tuantuan. Boss totally showed her who ranks higher. Man, Boss 1, you¡¯ve really fallen deep, haven¡¯t you? Quick reminder that along with CG¡¯s 5k summer contest where you can win Discord Nitro subscriptions (details here), we are also having our little giveaway where if we get 2 pieces of fanart or 1 fanfic for PUBG, we will release the StarTV g chapter all at once instead of splitting it into parts!

It¡¯s more condensed than the novel, but it¡¯s fun! Chapter 62 - Then what do you think I’m doing it for? Chapter 62 - Then what do you think I¡¯m doing it for? Edited by xiin and Noks The four of them teamed up for the whole night. Finally, after Lu Xiuhe said that his little baby was online, they then disbanded on the spot. After Yu Yan closed the livestream, he ran the diagnostic software to check his hardware again. The hardware for the mainframe really hadn¡¯t been stealthily switched out by the repairman. However, theputer always kept freezing recently, for no reason, and more so especially after he opened gifts and the special effects yed on the screen, or when he performed some especially cool maneuver in-game. The gifts and the barrage could pretty much make everything freeze, so much so that even the mountains in the game wouldn¡¯t load. Yet, it wasn¡¯t convenient to interact with the viewers without enabling the special effects for gifts in the livestream. Yu Yan hesitated and decided to tolerate it for a few more days. If it really didn¡¯t work out, he could only go and get anotherputer. He was just about to watch a blockbuster that had been justunched on the Inte when his eyes swept onto Weibo. He thought about it, then raised his hand and clicked on its icon. Fortunately, his name was no longer in the trending topics search hotlist. However, the impact of being on this trending search list was still very huge. In just one afternoon, his Weibo suddenly saw a rise from more than 10,000 followers to 40,000, and an even more significant increase inments. There were so many people asking questions, and it seemed that it wouldn¡¯t be good not to respond. He clicked open Tuantuan¡¯s Weibo and nced at it. The other party¡¯stest post was a livestream reminder sent at night, and its content was [Save me, Xiao Yan! ¡úClick to enter the livestream]. They were on the cusp of a storm and as soon as this notice was published, theizens seemed to have be more convinced that the two of them were in a rtionship. On the other hand, their denials and rifications in the livestream had all been ignored. With nearly no hesitation, he went back to his Weibo, selected thement that was on the top in his poprments section, and directly clicked to forward it. [yanxyan: We¡¯re not together, just friends. This was exined in this afternoon¡¯s livestream. //@Love to Drink Milk tea: Heard that you¡¯re with Tuantuan, then what about Boss 1?] His original intention was to rify the situation. It wasn¡¯t until he clicked to forward it that he realized that thement he had selected seemed to be¡­ Not very suitable. Sure enough, within a few minutes, thements section was flooded with 1YanTang girls. ¡°Sucking up the fluff, made up for my regret that I didn¡¯t have time to watch the livestream today.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t allow any 1YanTang girl to not watch today¡¯s livestream!¡± ¡°This trending topic rose up inexplicably, and Xiao Yan kept rifying in the livestream all afternoon. Howe everyone on Weibo is still covering their ears and acting like they¡¯re deaf?¡± He¡¯d already reblogged it, so Yu Yan could only brace himself and read thements, and was soon intrigued by one of the IDs called ¡°1YanTang Fluff Factory Side ount¡±. He¡¯d previously seen clips of variouspetitions on a certain tform, and so Yu Yan also understood what producing fluff and good food meant. He had noticed this ID because there were many replies from fans below it. ¡°BNF even came!¡± ¡°Nuzzling Madam! Madam has the highest quality!¡± Yu Yan frowned and realized that things were not that simple. This couldn¡¯t be the big clip maker from station x? He didn¡¯t think about it, didn¡¯t make any psychological preparations, and directly clicked onto this Weibo ount. Although it was clearly stated that it was a side ount, it already had 5000 followers. It seemed that this ount really was a BNF. Yu Yan scrolled down and saw the other side¡¯s stickied post. [1YanTang Fluff Factory Side ount: Side ount, xktv 1YanTang girl. Self produced and self consumed, not responsible for OOC, update time depends on mood, sharing when I want. Grumpy old Jie, NOT ACCEPTING ANY WRITING INSTRUCTION.] Great, a big name fan was really a big name fan, their words were very cold and lofty. Yu Yan continued to scroll down. Thest post had been published the night before yesterday. It wasn¡¯t a video clip, but a web link. It was titled, ¡°Computer Desk¡±. Yu Yan: ? He was puzzled and clicked on it. As soon as he saw the first paragraph clearly, he experienced a loud booming sound in his mind, as if something was breaking at the speed of light. [Xiao Yan closed the livestream and had just gotten up when he was suddenly picked up by someone behind him. He was ced on the table before he could react. His clothes were drawn up, and the abnormal temperature from the palm of a hand startled him. When he saw the man in front of him clearly, he blushed. ¡°W-what¡¯s the matter?¡± The corners of 1¡¯s mouth twitched up, and he said in a deep voice, ¡°Finally finished your livestream? Come¡­ I¡¯ll give you your reward for boosting my points today.¡± ¡­ ¡°Sit still, don¡¯t run.¡± 1 bit him, moving his hand to the mouse and with a shadow of a smile on his face, he threatened him, ¡°Or else I¡¯ll turn on the camera and let everyone see how good you are right now.¡± Xiao Yan¡¯s eyes had turned red, and he held 1¡¯s neck tightly, afraid of falling down. He desperately cried and begged, ¡°I won¡¯t run, I won¡¯t run, can you go a little lighter&#k2026;¡± ¡­ The camera vibrated and fell to the ground.] Yu Yan waspletely shocked. Yu Yan was lost in thought. Yu Yan had gone into a stiff daze like a wooden chicken. He was expressionless as ever so slowly, word by word, he read on. Every time he saw the words ¡°en¡±, ¡°ah¡±, and ¡°mm¡±, his heart couldn¡¯t help but thump as well. Until thest sentence of the post, where the entire piece ended on a terrifying word like ¡°convulsed¡±. ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan took a deep breath and caught a glimpse of thements below. ¡°Ahhhhh I blew up, madam!! By the way, begging for some game y!!! Basically the kind where Xiao Yan is ying the game, didn¡¯t turn on the camera, and then they go crazy ahhhh~~ mmm~~ (what am I saying?)¡± Yeah, what are you talking about? Why can¡¯t I understand a word of it? ¡°I won¡¯t be able to look directly at Xiao Yan¡¯sputer desk in the future. Beautiful job!¡± Yu Yan stared deeply at theputer desk in front of him, and immediately, those words jumped into his head. He shook his head quickly, not daring to think any further. ¡°Well, since you¡¯re aizen, then some video chatting y¡­ get it? (quiet, tentative voice)¡± ?! What kind of Weibo had he entered? Retreat, retreat¡ªto preserve his life. He thought so in his heart, but his hand was obviously not in on the n. His fingers followed his innermost desires, and he continued to scroll further down. ¡°Bathroom.¡± ¡°Gaming Chair.¡± ¡°Inte Cafe Booth.¡± ¡­ Even the Inte cafe¡¯s booth hadn¡¯t been spared. You¡¯re so ruthless. Finally, after many different scenarios, he saw a different title¡ª ¡ª¡±ABO.¡± What was ABO? Curiosity killed the Yan, and he clicked on it once again. Three minutester¡ªafter all the ¡°scent that was sweet but carried the slight fragrant tang of meat¡±, ¡°Wuwu, 1, not enough¡­ A little more, give me a little more¡± and ¡°If you still want more,e sit up here yourself¡±¡ªhe was scared silly. Yu Yan was still in a state of shock, so when his cellphone suddenly rang, his trembled reflexively. [1 has initiated a video call.] Yu Yan became even more flustered, it was as though he had been caught by the other party right as he was doing something bad, which scared him enough into directly closing the Weibo app. Yi Chen waited for nearly a minute before the other party finally picked up the call. As soon as he nced at him, and was just about to open his mouth, he noticed that something was wrong with the person on the other side of the video. After half a beat, since he wasn¡¯t sure if it was just because of the light, he asked leisurely, ¡°You have a fever?¡± Yu Yan paused, then shook his head so hard it was like a rattle-drum, before he replied, ¡°¡­No!¡± ¡°Then why is your face so red?¡± As soon as he mentioned it, Yu Yan realized that his face was burning hot. This sense of suffocation he was experiencing really did feel as if he had a fever. He nced at his image being shown in the small box at the upper right corner of the cellphone¡¯s screen. His face waspletely red, and even his neck was red as well. It wouldn¡¯t sound quite right for him to insist that he was fine when he looked like that. He hesitated for a moment and lied, ¡°Seems to be a slight fever.¡± ¡°You were fine just now when you were livestreaming, how can you be feverish now?¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Young men, illnesses appear so quickly. Go and buy some medicine.¡± A lie had to be rounded out by countless other lies. ¡°I¡¯ve already taken some,¡± Yu Yan replied. Yi Chen didn¡¯t think much about it and let out an ¡°en¡±. He then said, ¡°The matter with the trending topic search hotlist today¡­¡± Yu Yan hurriedly interrupted, ¡°The trending topic has already disappeared.¡± Yi Chen heard that his tone was casual as he had said that, as if he really didn¡¯t have any misgivings on the matter. ¡°Did you believe Tuantuan¡¯s exnation today?¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°Yes¡­ba? What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°No one¡¯s going to be stupid enough to raise their opponent¡¯s profile.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°She did lose some fans, but because of this trending topic, she must have attracted many new fans.¡± ¡°But¡­ why bother?¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t understand as he questioned, ¡°In this case, half of the fans who left were male fans who really liked her. Isn¡¯t this losing more than you gained?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not clear on all this.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°In short though, you should pay closer attention and make friends carefully.¡± Yu Yan felt like Yi Chen really possessed some super ability that could see through people¡¯s hearts. A weekter, Tuantuan¡¯s affairs once again appeared on Weibo, and once again, it was about her suspected love affair. However, this time, it didn¡¯t be a trending topic on the search hotlist, and her featured partner wasn¡¯t Yu Yan, but a rich businessman in his thirties. Due to the experience fromst week, this time, there was no need for Tuantuan toe out to refute the rumors since her fans had already helped her exin things in thements section below her Weibo. This matter was over before the waves could even start. Yu Yan learned about this matter when he was passionately video-calling 1¡­ to look at the cat. Yi Chen rubbed the cat¡¯s head and sneered. ¡°She probably knew that she was going to be exposed, so then she pulled you in to psychologically prep her fans beforehand.¡± Yu Yan nodded, relieved. ¡°So it was like this, it¡¯s alright¡­¡± Alright? What was the matter with this person? He¡¯d been used, but he wasn¡¯t angry at all. Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and dropped his voice by a few registers as he asked, ¡°You seem to like being a trending topic on search hotlists with female anchors?¡± ¡°No,¡± Yu Yan exined, ¡°Because of this trending topic, my Weibo saw an increase of tens of thousands of followers, and my livestream traffic also increased. Although it wasn¡¯t done by me intentionally, I did end up getting some benefits out of it in disguise. I¡¯m notfortable with good things falling onto my head for no reason anyway.¡± ¡°Good things?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yi Chen tossed the cat on the table and continued speaking in the same tone, ¡°Her being able to reach and be the first in the entertainment section was definitely not because of her terrible gaming skills. If you¡¯re this dumb, don¡¯t get sold outter without even knowing about it.¡± ¡°Won¡¯t happen, I¡¯ll be careful.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I know that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world¡­ I¡¯ll pay close attention in the future.¡± Yi Chen let out an ¡°en¡± through his nose, before following with the words, ¡°No one will treat you well for no reason?¡± Yu Yan nodded. Yi Chen asked, ¡°Then what about me?¡± Yu Yan was stunned. ¡°Ah?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t I treat you well?¡± ¡°¡­Yes.¡± ¡°Then what do you think I¡¯m doing it for?¡± Yu Yan blinked, thought for a long time, then asked in a tone full of hesitation¡ª ¡°For¡­ eating chicken ba?¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± The two of them fell silent. Yu Yan turnedpletely red and hurried to say, ¡°No, I didn¡¯t mean that, I mean to eat chicken! Ba! Not putting those words together¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± Well, the more he exined, the worse it became. Normally, if Yi Chen heard something like this, he would probably break out in goosebumps. But not only was he not angry now, he even wanted to tease the person with the big red face on the screen. He stifled augh as he said, ¡°Don¡¯t exin anymore.¡± Yu Yan wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into. ¡°Okay.¡± After hanging up the video call, Yu Yan¡¯s face was still warm. He went into the bathroom and thought about the fact that the longer an anchor livestreamed, the thicker their skin grew. Why was it that he was the other way around¡ªwith his face being too thin to function, and blushing over anything and everything¡ªwhat was with that. Recalling the person in the video just now, he couldn¡¯t help but lick his lips, before quickly picking up his toothbrush, washing his face and brushing his teeth. When he came out, his cellphone on his bed suddenly lit up again. He took a closer look to see that it was the tform administrator who had sent the message. The ticket to Jincheng had been booked, and it was for Friday at 9 a.m. ¡ª Juurensha: Huh, so is Tuantuan/Mo Nancheng actually a thing?

Chapter 63 - That was fine, but it wasnt necessary Chapter 63 - That was fine, but it wasn¡¯t necessary Edited by xiin and Noks Friday was September 26, which was a whole week before the day of the g. All the invited anchors received the flight information within three days. Because of this, the anchor groupchat finally grew a bit busy again. ¡°It seems that the tform had a good harvest this year, they¡¯re actuallyping a week¡¯s stay in the hotel.¡± ¡°Are there fewer anchors on the invitation list?¡± ¡°No, I heard that there are a few dozen more thanst year¡­ Besides those whose contracts were terminated or those who don¡¯t stream anymore, there are only two people fromst year who weren¡¯t invited this year.¡± When this topic was broached, the groupchat went quiet for a moment. Then everyone sent out all kinds of tacit satirical emoticons. Yu Yan still felt at a loss upon seeing this. He didn¡¯t understand what riddles they were ying at until he opened the tform¡¯s official Weibo¡ªbanana andoshu were not on the invitation list. The discussion continued in the groupchat. ¡°There don¡¯t seem to be many stars invited this year, so they had more budget for anchors?¡± ¡°You¡¯re all wrong, it¡¯s because on both the StarTV¡¯s and hotel¡¯s website, there¡¯s a big Yida Group logo.¡± ¡°Are there any XX locals? If we check the ticket times, people in the same time slot can go together bei.¡± There were many other such responses below, including some who stated they were from Manyang. Yu Yan didn¡¯t participate in the discussion since he felt ufortable traveling with strangers. A QQ chat popped up at this moment. Tuantuan: What time¡¯s your flightnding, Xiao Yan? I¡¯lle pick you up at the airport ya. Yu Yan: No need to take the trouble¡­ I¡¯ll take a taxi. Tuantuan: It¡¯s no trouble. Didn¡¯t we have a deal that I¡¯d wee you when youe to Jincheng? When the timees, after you put your luggage away, I¡¯ll take you out to eat delicious things. Tuantuan: Lulu and Sheepy will also be there. After eating, we¡¯re nning on going to a KTV. The itinerary is all nned out, just missing you. Yu Yan hesitated for a moment, and was just about to refuse¡ª Tuantuan: We¡¯re doing a special tour just to wee you. If you don¡¯te, we will have to disband right on the spot! Yu Yan: ¡­Alright ba. He sent his flight information to her and then started his livestream. 1 and Lu Xiuhe both arrived at the same time in the evening. This time, Lu Xiuhe had brought his little baby along with him. ¡°Xiao Yan, she doesn¡¯t know how to y PUBG very well. If she throws us into a pitter, you try to take care of it ah.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Stream followers, hold your tongue a bit as well.¡± Yu Yan let out an ¡°en¡±, inputted the ID and pulled Lu Xiuhe¡¯s little girlfriend into the team. Soon, an avatar of a ck man with an afro entered the game interface. Standing next to Yu Yan¡¯s ck woman avatar, who also had an afro, they looked just like a couple. Lu Xiuhe was stunned and then asked, ¡°¡­Baby, why are you using this avatar?¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s little girlfriend paused. Half a minuteter, the avatar changed into a woman with a ponytail. Yu Yan clicked to queue their team, while Lu Xiuhe continued, ¡°Xiao Yan, give me your flight number, and I¡¯ll buy a ticket for the same flight as you. Let¡¯s go together.¡± Yu Yan nced at the details and said, ¡°CZ3¡­¡± ¡°Say all this in a private chat,¡± Yi Chen interrupted. ¡°Huh?¡± Yu Yan responded, ¡°This shouldn¡¯t matter ba¡­¡± [I, who just opened up a travel site to bump into Xiao Yan: ???] ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan took out his cellphone and told Lu Xiuhe, ¡°I¡¯ll send it to you via private message.¡± Upon entering the game, Lu Xiuhe grabbed the chance to first drop a marker. ¡°Jump here, there aren¡¯t many people here and it¡¯s also rich.¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°Okay.¡± At the moment when their parachutes opened, Yi Chen nced at the person next to him and asked, ¡°Not running away this time?¡± When his avatarnded next to 1, Yu Yan shook his head and denied weakly, ¡°&#k2026;I¡¯ve never run off before.¡± After saying that, Yu Yan left the gun beside him for Yi Chen, turned around, and ran into a house. After searching for a long time, he only managed to scrounge up a Vector. Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Xiao Yan, I¡¯ve booked my ticket. When we get to the airport, let¡¯s pick seats together sha. I can still book pick-up service right now; what¡¯s your hotel called? I¡¯ll call for a car to pick us up ba.¡± Yu Yan was stunned and said, ¡°No need, someone will be picking me up.¡± ¡°Who?¡± Yu Yan opened his mouth, and then abruptly closed it, remembering the previous trending topic on the search hotlist. He kept silent and didn¡¯t continue talking. ¡°Who?¡± This time, it was Yi Chen who asked the question. Yu Yan hesitated before replying, ¡°Just, a friend.¡± He continued to ask, ¡°A guy friend or a girl friend?¡± ¡°A female friend.¡± Yi Chen thought back to Tuantuan¡¯s Weibo post from before, the one with the intimate photo. He instantly understood how things stood, sneered, and didn¡¯t speak again. This person didn¡¯t learn anything from his lessons, so then why should he be angry? Although this was what he thought inside, when Yi Chen looked sideways to catch sight of a pen thatid beside his hand, he felt it grow into an eyesore the more he looked at it. He picked up the pen, and not very gently, threw it into the pen holder, making quite a bit of noise. There really weren¡¯t many people in this area. Yu Yan hadbed through most of the city before he finally heard a shot. ¡°Sorry, my baby misfired.¡± Half a beatter, Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Nothing happened, continue searching.¡± After they finished searching, the group gathered in front of a sports car to share the gathered goods. Yu Yan exined while tossing things down, ¡°Expansion, scope, M24, it¡¯s all there¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, 1 had already directly entered the car. He was stunned. He switched his perspective and looked carefully. There was only one M16 and an Uzi on 1¡¯s back. ¡°Don¡¯t you want it?¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe ran all the way over to this spot from far away and asked, ¡°What? M24 and scope? What kind of scope?¡± Yu Yan quickly picked up the gun on the ground. ¡°No, you heard wrong.¡± Lu Xiuhe: ¡°?¡± After getting in the car, Yu Yan drove for a while before he saw another car when passing through the wild area. ¡°Let¡¯s drive two cars ba.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°It¡¯ll be a bit safer.¡± In general, all squads liked to drive two cars when running from the poison circle, mainly to prevent any idents along the way. One car carrying four lives getting into an ident could directly end the game for all four of them. Lu Xiuhe jumped out of the car. ¡°Okay, baby¡­¡± Someone quickly followed Lu Xiuhe out of the car, but it wasn¡¯t the character with the ponytail. Yi Chen got out of the car and ran headlong towards the other one without looking back. ¡°¡­¡± Everyone was quiet for a moment, and Lu Xiuhe only spoke after a while, ¡°Um, Boss 1, how about you take Xiao Yan¡¯s car? It¡¯s safer.¡± ¡°No need,¡± said Yi Chen. ¡ªBut I just want to carry my baby ah, to live together and die together in the same car. Boss, you¡¯re so rich, why can¡¯t you see this at all? Lu Xiuhe thought all this, but he dared not say any of it. Yu Yan pursed his lips and jumped out of the car while Lu Xiuhe was still at a loss. ¡°You drive this one.¡± Tossing this sentence behind, Yu Yan forcibly upied the driver¡¯s seat in the car Yi Chen was in, stepped on the elerator, and left. Looking at the person in the back seat, Yu Yan decided to start a conversation even though there was nothing to say. ¡°1, you¡­ Have you eaten yet?¡± The man¡¯s voice was neither cold nor light as he responded, ¡°It¡¯s already 9.¡± He meant that he had eaten. ¡°It¡¯s nearly October, has it already cooled down in Jincheng?¡± ¡°En.¡± ¡°Then when I go over there, do I need to wear warmer clothes?¡± ¡°Whatever you like.¡± ¡°¡­¡± [Forced chat is the most deadly.] [Howe I feel like the atmosphere isn¡¯t right tonight?] [One look and it¡¯s obvious that none of you paid attention in ss, didn¡¯t you hear what Xiao Yan just said? He said he has a Female! Friend! Coming to pick him up, hurry up and take notes!] Yu Yan didn¡¯t pay any attention to the barrage. He thought of a less awkward topic and quickly tossed it at 1. ¡°I know an owner of a pet shop, and he has a lot of canned cat food. They¡¯re all authentic goods, should I bring Yan¡­ Little Fool some?¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t expect the first thing that this person would think about with regard to him was actually that cat when visiting Jincheng. Good. Very good. ¡°No need.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Cat toys or cat¡­¡± Yi Chen was just about to tell him to stop talking about cats when he heard a loud shot¡ªa team of people were strafing at their car from a distance. Yu Yan immediately turned the car around, wanting to leave that particr route. Unexpectedly, the enemy team targeting them wasn¡¯t weak. His car couldn¡¯t move very fast, so he had just turned it around when with a bang, it exploded in an instant. The fire zed everywhere, and the screen went gray. [MMXLEE eliminated you by detonating the vehicle] ¡°¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe was surprised. ¡°Xiao Yan, your car has been strafed and blown up?¡± Yu Yan had a strong observational ability, so he would often spot an enemy even from a long distance away. After having yed so many games with Yu Yan, Lu Xiuhe had never really seen him getting killed because his car had gotten strafed and blown up. ¡°My fault.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I only saw two people, and thinking that they couldn¡¯t strafe me to death, I wanted to just rush through.¡± After exining, Yu Yan saw that the icon in front of y11iic suddenly changed from X to a broken plug¡ªthe other party had directly exited the game. Immediately, the barrage assistant popped up with a message. [Yanyan¡¯s Daddy has left the stream] ¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± Lu Xiuhe said. ¡°Watch me turn the tide and take you to eat chicken.¡± Yu Yan switched screens to watch the battle and picked up his cellphone. Yu Yan: Why did you quit, are you not ying anymore? 1: En. Yu Yan: Just now was my mistake¡­ How about we y another match, and I¡¯ll definitely take it seriously. 1: Have things to do, not ying. ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan decided to face the problem head on. Yu Yan: Tuantuan said that the girls have arranged a wee wagon and tour for me. They have already put everything together¡­ I felt too awkward to refuse them. 1: En. Yu Yan: ¡­ Yu Yan: Are you angry? Angry that he hadn¡¯t listened to his advice, and even after discovering that he had been used, was still willing to continue to stay in contact with her? 1: No. After sending this curt message, Yi Chen decided to let him hang there for a bit. He took out his clothes and was about to enter the bathroom. However, just before entering, he unlocked his cellphone and looked at it. Fine, this person still hadn¡¯t replied to him. He dared to not reply to him, but didn¡¯t dare to refuse that female anchor. Really promising. 1: You don¡¯t have to exin it to me. He didn¡¯t even have the energy to care about his own silly cousin, Yi Ran, so being concerned about what other people were doing fell even more into the category of ¡®none of his business.¡¯ With that in mind, he started typing, pressing especially hard on the cellphone¡¯s keyboard. 1: You won¡¯t listen to what I say anyway. When he came out of the bathroom, and as he rubbed his wet hair with a bath towel, he noticed that there was a message on his cellphone. His tight frown finally began to ease a bit, and he clicked it open. ¡°President Yi, the invitation list for the annual g has been arranged. As per your instructions, the hotel has been emptied for the anchors to stay in for a week. The g venue has also already been arranged, and the activity schedule and venue design have all been sent to your mailbox. Manager Liu has been arranged as your special reception staff. He will contact you on his own initiative when the timees.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s expression was dark as he replied, ¡°I didn¡¯t say I was going to attend the g.¡± Just after he sent that message, his cellphone suddenly vibrated. Little Anchor: I just went and told her that she doesn¡¯t have to pick me up from the airport. Little Anchor: Since the start of my livestream, she has taken care of me in many ways¡­ Although the trending topic was a bit excessive, it didn¡¯t hurt my actual interests, so that¡¯s why I didn¡¯t refuse her. Little Anchor: I called a pick-up service. [picture] After reading this message, Yi Chen¡¯s displeasure finally faded. In fact, he wasn¡¯t opposed to the little anchor having normal social interactions. These days, most adult friendships also had some other ideas, either of gain or profit, mixed into them, just like his and Mo Nancheng¡¯s friendship did. However ba¡ª A single man and woman, as ordinary friends, climbing the mountain together to pray for blessings, and warmly getting picked up from the airport¡ª That was fine. But it wasn¡¯t necessary. He switched back to the chat he had just had with his assistant. 1: 18xxxxxxx, have the manager contact me when the timees. The assistant who had just called Manager Liu to convey the news that the boss wouldn¡¯t being: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Alright.¡± As long as you pay me on time, whatever changes you make, I can put up with all of it. ¡ª Juurensha: ¡­.Boss Yi, a bit immature, no?

Edited by Noks The day before he left for Jincheng, Yu Yan received a call from Yu Minyang, inviting him to dinner at his house the next day. It was only then that Yu Yan remembered that he hadn¡¯t told Yu Minyang about tomorrow¡¯s travel ns. ¡°Jincheng?¡± Yu Minyang asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say something in advance? Your aunt has been trying out new recipes for most of the week, just so that she can make you a delicious meal tomorrow.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I forgot; when Ie back, the first thing I will do is go over to your ce.¡± He had really forgotten; after his parents¡¯ death, he had lost the habit of reporting everything to his family. ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s okay.¡± Yu Minyang continued, ¡°Then be sure to be safe. Also, since it¡¯s a tform activity, you¡¯re sure to meet many work friends ba. Remember to buy some Manyang local specialties to give to them, it¡¯ll also be polite. ¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°Okay.¡± Yu Minyang, who felt that was still insufficient, said, ¡°How¡¯s this ba? I¡¯m free this afternoon, so I¡¯ll take you to the specialty market to look around.¡± So, on the day of their departure, Lu Xiuhe looked at the big suitcase next to Yu Yan¡¯s leg and asked, ¡°Xiao Yan, you couldn¡¯t be hiding someone in that thing ba?¡± ¡°¡­ Who would I hide?¡± After getting to know about the contents of the suitcase, Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Yeah, why didn¡¯t I think of that? Xiao Yan, when we reach the hotel, share a few of your local specialties with me ba. I¡¯ll buy them from you, alright? I want to give some to my baby.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°When will you go see her?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t know yet.¡± Yu Yan was stunned. ¡°You¡¯re already on your way to Jincheng, and you guys still haven¡¯t figured out when you¡¯re meeting?¡± Lu Xiuhe was a bit embarrassed as he exined, ¡°She¡¯s very busy. This trip was totally me insisting I had to visit, so now I have to wait for her to be free one day, then we can see each other.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Although Yu Yan had never experienced online dating, he hade into contact with many people online and understood some of it. He hesitated and asked, ¡°Have you spent any money on her during your time together?¡± After hearing this, Lu Xiuhe immediately understood his meaning and said, ¡°No, no¡­ I¡¯ve bought her several skins before, but I had to force her to take those using the gift system.¡± Yu Yan nodded, ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± At the airport, the two of them lined up to pick up their tickets. Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Let¡¯s see what seat you have, and I¡¯ll go to the machine and pick a seat that¡¯s close to yours.¡± Yu Yan handed his ID card to the staff at the counter. After the other party scanned the ID card, the relevant information popped up on theputer screen. After the staff member read its contents, they looked up with some doubt and nced several times at Yu Yan, who had been standing in the economy ss line for a long time. Yu Yan asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Ah, nothing.¡± The staff member went through the formalities quickly and handed over the ticket with both hands. Unlike Lu Xiuhe¡¯s ticket, there was also a red card stuck to his ticket, which said, ¡°XX Airport VIP lounge¡±. ¡°Hello, we found that your flight has been dyed for an hour due to the weather. During the waiting period, you can go and rest at the VIP lounge.¡± Lu Xiuhe was muddled and asked, ¡°Then why is there no such card on my ticket?¡± The staff member replied, ¡°Because this gentleman¡¯s ticket is first ss.¡± Lu Xiuhe: ¡°¡­¡± Lu Xiuhemented, ¡°Aren¡¯t StarTV¡¯s benefits too good? Is it toote for me to start livestreaming now?¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t go to the VIP lounge in the end, choosing instead to sit in the general waiting area with Lu Xiuhe. As soon as they sat down, Yu Yan¡¯s cellphone lit up. 1: Just had a meeting, have you boarded yet? Yu Yan: Not yet, the ne was dyed by an hour. 1: En, there¡¯s aputer in the VIP lounge, you can use it if you¡¯re bored. But thatputer can¡¯t y PUBG. Yu Yan: How did you know that my ticket had ess to the VIP lounge¡­ Yi Chen paused, but managed to react quickly. 1: Isn¡¯t StarTV generous in all aspects? Yu Yan: Really? Alright ba [Scratching my head.jpg] This emoticon was a little funny. A corner of Yi Chen¡¯s mouth had just started to rise when there was a knock on the door of his office. His secretary came in and said, ¡°President Yi, your next meeting will be in ten minutes, and all the marketing staff will be there.¡± ¡°Understood.¡± Since it was almost the end of the year, thepany had recently been busy. 1: What are you nning to do these next few days in Jincheng? Yu Yan: Livestream. He had to ask for leave today to catch the ne, but he couldn¡¯t just take a whole week off. The livestream duration regtions written into his contract also wouldn¡¯t allow him to be so willful. 1: Going to an Inte cafe again? Yu Yan: En, that¡¯s the only way. Yi Chen looked at the time and got up to go to the meeting room. 1: Let me know when you get on the ne. If you¡¯re free in the evening, I¡¯ll treat you to dinner. Seeing this line of words, Yu Yan¡¯s heart immediately throbbed again. Yu Yan: Don¡¯t¡­ Yu Yan: I¡¯ll treat you, is that okay? You pick the ce. 1: Alright, then see you tonight. See you tonight. Yu Yan stared at those three words and reread them many times. ¡°What are you looking at ah, it¡¯s been more than an hour.¡± Lu Xiuhe rubbed his stomach. ¡°We¡¯ve been waiting for so long, I¡¯m hungry. I¡¯ll go see if there are any instant noodles for sale, let¡¯s have a cup?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t eat, you go ba.¡± Lu Xiuhe soon made himself a cup of noodles and said, ¡°I just knew that the ghastly weather in Jincheng would dy us. Can only make noodles for now to get through this, and then we can eat well after getting off the ne. What are we going to eat in the evening? I heard that there¡¯s a snack street in Jincheng with a very good reputation.¡± ¡°I¡¯m treating 1 to dinner in the evening.¡± Yu Yan paused before saying, ¡°Do you want toe?¡± ¡°Me ah¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe was justining about the dy and the instant noodles situation to his little girlfriend on his cellphone, and upon seeing the reply from the other side, his eyes brightened. ¡°I¡¯m not going. My baby says she knows what¡¯s delicious, and says she¡¯ll order me take out.¡± The more Yu Yan listened, the stranger he found Lu Xiuhe¡¯s situation, but he couldn¡¯t pinpoint exactly what was strange. But his heart was fixated on the dinner tonight, and he didn¡¯t think any further about it. By the time they arrived in Jincheng, it was already 7 at night. He got off the ne and hurriedly sent a message to 1. Yu Yan: I¡¯m here, but I¡¯m still waiting for my luggage. By the time I get to the hotel, it¡¯ll probably be around 8¡­ Is that toote? Who knew that he wouldn¡¯t receive a reply from the other party even by the time he reached the hotel. The hotel was very luxurious, and the tform had actually booked him a suite with two rooms. ¡°My God, Xiao Yan, do you know how much this room usually costs for one night?¡± Lu Xiuhe did a search on his cellphone and was shocked. ¡°¡­No, I can¡¯t even afford half of this ya, I¡¯d better go out and find a hotel myself.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to pay, you stay ba.¡± Yu Yan absentmindedly tidied up his luggage and nced at his cellphone. He had received messages, but they were all from the anchor group chat. By the time they finished unpacking, Lu Xiuhe¡¯s takeout had arrived. It consisted of three full big stic bags, and after putting all the dishes on the table, there was almost no more room left. Abundant and rich fish and meat dishes, soups, dessert¡ªeverything you could want was there. Lu Xiuhe took a breath, his face both embarrassed and filled with hard-to-repress happiness. He gushed over the dishes with his girlfriend on his cellphone for a long time, and only after that did he say, ¡°Xiao Yan, it¡¯s sote, you¡¯re not going to dinner? Just eat with me ba.¡± Yu Yan shook his head. ¡°No need¡­¡± Just as he finished saying that, his cell phone suddenly rang. His eyes lit up, and he put on a pair of slippers and ran to the balcony. As soon as he picked up the call, the first thing he heard from the other side was a heavy sigh of relief. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, the meeting rante. I had originally sent you a message, but onlyter discovered that my cellphone had run out of power, and so the message didn¡¯t send.¡± The man¡¯s voice had some weariness in it as he said, ¡°Did you wait long?¡± ¡°No, I just finished unpacking.¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°You¡­ recently¡­ seem to be really busy?¡± ¡°En, it will be much better in two months.¡± Yi Chen rubbed his brow and then put the documents in his hand back into the cab. He nced at the time; it was already 8:30 p.m. ¡°Have you eaten yet?¡± ¡°Not yet.¡± Yi Chen calcted the distance in his mind. It would take him at least half an hour to get to the hotel if he went there directly from thepany. The little anchor must be tired and hungry after spending the whole day at the airport, so he said, ¡°I¡¯ll ask people to deliver food to the hotel. What would you like to eat, and what¡¯s your room number?¡± Yu Yan was stunned. ¡°Then what about you? Have you eaten yet?¡± ¡°Not yet.¡± Yi Chen exined, ¡°It takes half an hour to get to the hotel from thepany¡­¡± Yu Yan held his cellphone with one hand and the railing with the other, and suddenly interrupted him, ¡°Just half an hour¡­ Are you very hungry?¡± Yi Chen was shocked and said, ¡°Not hungry.¡± ¡°I¡¯m also not that hungry yet,¡± Yu Yan very carefully asked, ¡°How about we don¡¯t have dinner and just eat midnight snacks?¡± After getting no response for a while, Yu Yan suggested, ¡°Or changing it to tomorrow is also okay¡­¡± ¡°I was just putting on my coat.¡± Yi Chen arranged his tie and looked at the time. ¡°I¡¯ll be there at around 9, I¡¯ll see you soon.¡± Lu Xiuhe was happily eating all this while. When he saw the person on the balconye back in a hurry, he spoke in an indistinct voice, ¡°Xiao Yan,e here and eat with me. I found that the restaurant gave me four bowls of rice¡­¡± ¡°Not eating,¡± said Yu Yan as he ran back to the room. ¡°I¡¯m going out to have a midnight snack with 1. Can I bring you anything?¡± Looking at him rush around, Lu Xiuhe bit his chopsticks. ¡°¡­No need.¡± Yu Yan left at 8:40 p.m. He was the only one in the elevator. Only after it waspletely quiet around him did Yu Yan discover that his heart was beating very fast. When he had made the appointment with 1 in the afternoon, he had still been a little nervous and uneasy. After all, his intentions towards 1 weren¡¯t exactly pure, and actually meeting in person¡­ he didn¡¯t know what it would be like. It wasn¡¯t until the other party spoke about cancelling the appointment that he realized how much he really wanted to see 1. The elevator stopped on the 12th floor, where several men entered. As soon as the elevator door closed, someone said, ¡°Because of this fog, my flight almost got canceled. Scared me to death.¡± ¡°Haha, I¡¯m a native.¡± ¡°If you live here, what are you doing here at the hotel?¡± ¡°The tform is paying for a big hotel, I¡¯d be stupid not toe.¡± Upon hearing all this, Yu Yan felt stunned. Sure enough, the person continued, ¡°I¡¯ve even scoped out an Inte cafe, it¡¯s on the opposite side of the road, and the booth¡¯s machines can be used. But I¡¯ll have to go early, it¡¯ll definitely be hard to get aputer with all the anchors around recently.¡± ¡°That makes sense, and I¡¯ll also have to quickly go scope that out.¡± The person who said that turned around, and unexpectedly, caught Yu Yan¡¯s gaze. ¡°Hey? Are you that¡­ Yan Xiao Yan?!¡± The other people nced over at him, and Yu Yan smiled and greeted very politely, ¡°Hello everyone.¡± ¡°Hello, hello, what a coincidence.¡± Everyone had heard about the big fight he had waged against banana andoshu. Once he saw and recognized him, that person couldn¡¯t hide his friendliness. ¡°Where are you going? We¡¯re going to go get midnight snacks, want to go together?¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I have an appointment with a friend.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, next time is fine. Which room are you staying in?¡± ¡°4709.¡± ¡°Oh, okay¡­¡± That person finished talking, then discovered something was off and asked, ¡°Wait, what number, 4709?¡± Wasn¡¯t 4709 on the 47th floor? The man was stunned. ¡°You upgraded?¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t understand and asked back, ¡°What?¡± There was a ding sound, and the elevator arrived at the ground floor. ¡°Why do you ask so much, it¡¯s not like you can afford to upgrade.¡± Another manughed and said, ¡°Then we¡¯ll go first. If there¡¯s time, we¡¯ll all eat together to get to know each other.¡± Yu Yan nodded. ¡°Okay.¡± Jincheng had cooled down in October, maintaining a temperature around a little more than 10 degrees, which was the usual temperature during winter in Manyang. Yu Yan, who was wearing a thin coat, worried that 1 wouldn¡¯t be able to find him, so he stood by the revolving door of the hotel lobby and waited. Just as several receptionists were weing a group of guests, they saw a ck Land Rover rushing up to the hotel¡¯s entrance at full speed. This familiar model. The receptionists looked down and held their breaths. This familiar license te number!!! They unconsciously straightened their backs and immediately looked down to check their appearances. Yu Yan picked up his cellphone and nced at it. It wasn¡¯t 9 p.m. yet. When he thought about it now, 1 had just worked the whole day, and having to eat midnight snacks with him at the end of such a day¡­ had he been forcing 1 to do something that he was unwilling to do? Yu Yan looked up just in time to see several receptionists swarm around the entrance of the hotel. It was currently drizzling outside. A receptionist quickly ran to the driver¡¯s seat to open the car door for the guest. Another receptionist stood upright and held out an umbre, and there were several others following those two. It was worthy of being a grand hotel, the attitude of the service staff was very good. Such thoughts swirled in Yu Yan¡¯s heart for a while. Through the dark window, he could see a man get off the driver¡¯s seat. Instead of taking the umbre from the receptionist, he held up his ownrge ck umbre. Yu Yan¡¯s eyes followed him unconsciously and saw that the receptionist immediately gave way to him after he said something. The man gently nodded, walked to the front of the car, then turned around, meeting Yu Yan¡¯s gaze at this moment. Yu Yan saw his face clearly, it was handsome and quite familiar. Under the rain, he wore a suit, and his long legs wrapped by his trousers took a small step, before he walked up to Yu Yan in just a few steps. Yu Yan could even smell the faint fragrance of his Gi cologne emanating from his body. ¡°Waited a long time?¡± The voice that he heard every night, now clearly reached Yu Yan¡¯s ears, without being hindered by any technical interference. He could feel his eardrums thudding away, as if they were being hit hard by something. When Yi Chen saw that Yu Yan was stupefied, he couldn¡¯t help butugh. Then he raised his hand and rubbed his hair naturally, urging, ¡°Snap out of it.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Yesssss they finally meet in person (when Yanyan knows who he is!) And hahaha, all the preferential treatment for Yanyan (LXH, enjoy mooching off your friend!). Although Yanyan, you should have tried to take LXH into the VIP lounge with you, the food there is so good! Noks: They finally met!!!! And both parties were conscious this time! Hahaha Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! And there¡¯s an audio drama for PUBG that came out! It¡¯s more condensed than the novel, but it¡¯s fun! And check out our fanart/fanfic page! Chapter 65 - Not heat-resistant Chapter 65 - Not heat-resistant Edited by xiin and Noks Yu Yan had pondered on things for a long time before he had arrived in Jincheng. When he was in the elevator, he kept telling himself that upon seeing 1, he absolutely couldn¡¯t be embarrassed or nervous. When people were nervous, they would stutter, and that included him. He hadn¡¯t expected to actually be thrown into a daze just byying his eyes on him. ¡­It was too shameful. But, he hadn¡¯t fallen into a daze because of the other party¡¯s appearance. Although the other party was really handsome, he wasn¡¯t a face-con dog. It was just that¡­ Recently, he had been watching too many videos and had been listening to too many voice messages repeatedly, and so when the person featured in all these videos and voice messages had suddenly appeared in front of him in reality, it resulted in an inexplicable sense of something that was in theputer abruptlying to life. It wasn¡¯t until he suddenly felt the warmth on his head that he returned to his senses. He looked at Yi Chen¡¯s eyes and said, ¡°It¡¯s not even 9 yet, didn¡¯t you say it would take half an hour¡­¡± ¡°I did drive a bit fast, but didn¡¯t go over the speed limit.¡± Yi Chen removed his hand from Yu Yan¡¯s head and moved the umbre to shelter him as well. ¡°Let¡¯s go?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Yu Yan had originally wanted to be the one to hold the umbre and lifted his hand¡­ only to touch the ck strap hanging from the bottom of the umbre handle. Only then did he realize that 1¡¯s hand was very long; his fingers, syed around the handle of the umbre loosely, were also long and slender. The white against ck was well-matched, and its visual effect was excellent. After getting in the car, Yu Yan put on his seat belt and pretended to be calm as he asked, ¡°What are we going to eat?¡± ¡°Is there anything in particr that you want to eat?¡± Yi Chen held the steering wheel and moved the car a little towards the exit to make way for the guests behind him. The smell of the Gi cologne was everywhere in this enclosed space. It wasn¡¯t overpowering, but it also couldn¡¯t be ignored. In order to make social interactions go smoothly, most men chose to use cologne; even Yu Minyang would use it. Its usage could also count as being polite towards others. Out of all the different scents Yu Yan had smelled so far, he felt that the present one was the best scent. He shook his head. ¡°No, I justnded and don¡¯t really know the restaurants here¡­ Do you have something you want to eat?¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll choose.¡± Yi Chen looked sideways at him. ¡°That friend of yours isn¡¯ting?¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°His girlfriend ordered him a lot of takeout.¡± Yi Chen let out an ¡°en,¡± started his car, and asked, ¡°Let¡¯s go to the restaurant I often go to?¡± Yu Yan answered, ¡°Okay.¡± Yu Yan looked out of the window absentmindedly, but since all his thoughts werepletely focused on the person next to him, he didn¡¯t really take in any of the nighttime scenery outside. 1¡¯s voice sounded even better without the medium of an electronic equipment distorting it. Maybe it was because he¡¯d gone through a whole day of meetings, but there was even some hoarseness in his voice, and just now, they had been so close to each other¡­ The music that was ying in the car stopped suddenly, and was followed by a beep that signified a call. 1 had used his Bluetooth to call someone. The other party picked up very quickly, and a voice came out of the car stereo, ¡°It¡¯s the middle of the night, what¡¯s the matter? Haven¡¯t you been terribly busy these days, how do you now have time to seek me out?¡± ¡°Book me a table and some dishes at a restaurant,¡± Yi Chen said sinctly, ¡°My assistant hasn¡¯t replied, and I don¡¯t have the restaurant¡¯s phone number.¡± ¡°Which restaurant¡¯s phone number?¡± asked Mo Nancheng. Yi Chen gave the name of the restaurant. ¡°What the fuck, its the middle of the night, and you want me to call my ex-girlfriend¡¯s restaurant and reserve a table? People who don¡¯t know otherwise might think I was trying to get back with her.¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± Mo Nancheng didn¡¯t know that there was someone sitting beside Yi Chen, and thus he spoke without putting on any pretenses, ¡°Speaking of which, I can¡¯t hold back anymore. The day before yesterday, Xiaojing and I went to a hotel¡­ Ah, another female star, you probably don¡¯t know her. We bumped directly into this ex-girlfriend of mine, and she followed me from the elevator to all the way outside. Ah, I¡¯m telling you, it¡¯s already been half a month since we broke up, what the fuck does it have to do with her who I¡¯m with now? Why are women so high-maintenance¡­ No, no, that¡¯s not right. I¡¯ve seen some people who keep young men, and those men are even more high-maintenance. A grown man, all crooked and sticky, always wanting to kiss or hug or wanting a watch, disgraceful.¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Also, she seems to have cklisted my phone. I can¡¯t get through, so how about I give you the restaurant¡¯s number instead?¡± After speaking a lot of nonsense, he finally got to the point. Yi Chen frowned and picked up his cellphone, while simultaneously flicking on his turn signal, nning to pull over to the right side of the road. Yu Yan hurriedly said, ¡°You drive ba, I¡¯ll remember the number and call.¡± He turned the steering wheel to bring the car back to its original position. ¡°Okay.¡± Mo Nancheng was stunned. He picked up his cellphone and held it up to his eyes, confirming again who had called. ¡­No mistake. Who was this? Judging from his voice, he didn¡¯t sound that old, and it didn¡¯t seem like it was Yi Ran either. That mysterious little anchor? He immediately changed his words. ¡°No, I talked too fast just now, neither men nor women are high maintenance. Young men who want to be kissed, hugged, and held up are very¡­ very cute. So, hey, is there someone next to you?¡± Yu Yan was thinking about whether he should reply politely or not, but Yi Chen hung up right as he was still hesitating. ¡°A friend,¡± Yi Chen told Yu Yan lightly, ¡°We¡¯re not very familiar.¡± Yu Yan nodded andmented, ¡°¡­He¡¯s quite interesting.¡± Yu Yan called the restaurant, and the other side told him that there was only one table left, the one that was right next to the entrance. The server also asked them if they would be willing to take it even if its position wasn¡¯t very good. Yi Chen wasn¡¯t picky about what he ate, but the steak served in this restaurant was good, and its dishes and desserts could be considered exquisite. Yu Yan had turned on the speakerphone, so he heard what the server had said and asked, ¡°Do you mind?¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°I don¡¯t mind, I can sit anywhere.¡± ¡°Then book it.¡± Only after arriving at the restaurant did Yu Yan realize why the waiter had asked them that question. Theyout of the restaurant was very elegant, and the only thing that didn¡¯t fit into this elegant design were the seats at the door. This table wasn¡¯t just next to the entrance. It was right in front of the entrance. Other guests would see them as soon as they entered. It was only now that Yi Chen remembered that there was such an odd table in this restaurant. His eyebrows furrowed, and he asked, ¡°Go somewhere else?¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t care since he had eaten some things on the ne. But after being in meetings all day, 1 hade to him straight after work, so he must be hungry. He looked at the small wooden menu hanging outside the door and replied, ¡°I think the signature dishes here are not bad¡­ Why don¡¯t we just eat here ba?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± A few minutester, Yu Yan held the menu and was regretting his decision. What signature dishes had he been talking about? Why hadn¡¯t he spoken only about the ice cream at the bottom of the small wooden menu? The restaurant¡¯s signature dishes were all four digits long, and all of them also started with 4. It wasn¡¯t that he couldn¡¯t afford it, just that he thought it was too exaggerated. Yu Yan probably couldn¡¯t even eat food worth 4000 yuan in a month, so he flipped to the back of the menu and decided to order 1 a signature dish before picking something else for himself. Who knew that the person sitting in front of him would ask suddenly, ¡°What would you like to have for appetizers and dessert, is there anything you can¡¯t eat?¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°No.¡± Yi Chen casually set his cellphone down on the table. ¡°En, have you decided?¡± ¡°Still looking,¡± Yu Yan said. ¡°They all look about the same.¡± ¡°You can ask the waiter to rmend something for you.¡± Most of the things rmended by waiters were expensive. Yu Yan shook his head. ¡°No need, I¡¯ll just order some things randomly ba¡­¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, ¡°Or, I can help you order?¡± Yu Yan took in a deep breath. Then handed over the menu. ¡°Okay.¡± He then witnessed Yi Chen open his mouth and order two of the restaurant¡¯s famous steaks. Yu Yan watched 1 hand the menu back to the waiter, and suddenly, the sense of loss over money that was guing him disappearedpletely. Wasn¡¯t it just a few thousand yuan? He was willing to spend money on 1! Even if he went bankrupt and had to eat cup noodles for a month, he would still have dinner together with 1! Yi Chen wiped his hands with a hot towel, and raised his head just in time to meet Yu Yan¡¯s bright gaze. He threw the towel onto the te and thought it was funny. ¡°You see me every day, haven¡¯t you seen enough?¡± Yu Yan picked up the towel in front of him as a cover for his nerves and wiped his hands randomly. ¡°No¡­ I was just, looking at the menu you just had in your hands.¡± Before the food arrived, everyone who entered the restaurant couldn¡¯t help but take a few extra looks at these two. One of them was in a suit and leather shoes, the other was dressed lightly and simply, but because both of them were very pleasing to the eye, they didn¡¯t sh when put together in one frame. Yu Yan wasn¡¯t quite at ease with the unknown number of times he had been stared at by the other guests. He noticed an empty table nearby and hurriedly said, ¡°1, how about we switch tables¡­¡± Yi Chen was holding his cellphone and reading an email he had just received. He didn¡¯t even lift his eyes as he stated, ¡°Don¡¯t call me 1 anymore.¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Then what should I call you?¡± ¡°Yi Chen.¡± ¡°Yi, I know.¡± Yu Yan reached out, wanting to grab the napkin in the distance. ¡°Which Chen is it? Is it like¡­¡± Halfway through his words, he shut up. Because the person who had been checking his email suddenly looked up and grabbed his wrist. Yu Yan: ¡°?¡± Yi Chen turned his hand over, and with the tip of his index finger, he wrote the character for Chen by drawing strokes in the palm of his hand. After he finished writing, and with his finger still remaining on thest stroke for the Chen character, he asked him, ¡°This one, did you get it?¡± Yu Yan suspected that the restaurant hadn¡¯t turned on their air conditioning. His entire head felt hot, and he nodded. ¡°¡­Got it.¡± After a series of appetizers, a fat and thick piece of steak was finally presented. Yi Chen picked up his knife and fork and slowly cut into it. ¡°What are you going to do about your livestream for the next few days?¡± ¡°Go to an Inte cafe ba, theputers in the hotel can¡¯t handle it.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t ask for leave?¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°If I take too many days off, my fans will object.¡± Yi Chen nodded, but it seemed as though he was thinking of something else. After dinner, Yu Yan called the waiter over to pay the bill. The waiter reported the bill. Yu Yan had just reached for his phone to open WeChat so that he could pay, but the person in front of him moved faster than he did. Yi Chen took out a card from the inside pocket of his suit and handed it over. ¡°Card.¡± Yu Yan was stunned and hurriedly said, ¡°We agreed that I¡¯d treat you tonight¡­¡± ¡°En, you said you¡¯d treat me to dinner, but this is a midnight snack.¡± Yi Chen continued, ¡°Let¡¯s leave your dinner for next time.¡± Yu Yan had originally wanted to rush up to pay the bill, but after hearing thetter sentence, the hand that was opening up WeChat immediately stopped in its actions. He pursed his lips, and his brow furrowed slightly. He was torn between the angel and the devil in his heart. N-next time? ¡°¡­Alright then,¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I¡¯ll treat you next time.¡± Yi Chen signed his name on the receipt and got up. ¡°En. Let¡¯s go ba, I¡¯ll take you back.¡± Back in the car, Yu Yan received a message. It was sent by Administrator 28, and it stated that the anchors who had won awards in the anchorpetition could bring along with them an additional family member on the day of the g. He subconsciously nced at the person next to him. Yi Chen was so busy. Even if he invited him, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able toe ba. ustomed to his gaze by now, Yi Chen asked, ¡°Do you want to buy something to take back to the hotel? Fruit?¡± Yu Yan shook his head, but then suddenly remembered something and asked, ¡°By the way, is your brain better?¡± ¡°¡­¡± The car had stopped at a red light. Yu Yan suddenly heard a short chuckle emerge from the person beside him. When he turned his head, he saw that Yi Chen¡¯s mouth was still curved up. Yi Chen¡¯s facial features were exquisite, and if you looked from the side, it gave off a different feeling. ¡°Yu Yan,¡± Yi Chen called out to him, ¡°Are you caring about me or cursing me?¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± As soon as he opened his mouth to exin, he felt his cheek being pulled suddenly. Yi Chen¡¯s hand had left the steering wheel and had neither lightly nor aggressively, pinched his face. Yi Chen had already forgotten the number of times he had wanted to do this exact action. Every time he had looked at the little anchor from across the screen, his hands had grown itchy. ¡°Where did you learn this skill of being able to blush at any moment? Are you so not heat-resistant?¡± ¡°¡­¡± The red light faded, and the green light lit up. Yi Chen let go of Yu Yan¡¯s cheek and changed gears. Yu Yan rolled down the window. The cool wind hit his face, but the spot where he had been touched was extremely warm. His voice was hoarse as he exined, ¡°Not heat-resistant, and didn¡¯t learn it, was just born this way.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: I think for a first date, that went pretty well! And hahaha, Yanyan so earnestly wanting to pay for Boss Yi¡¯s meal (it¡¯s okay Yanyan, you make him really happy just being there) xiin: i really, really, really want steak right now. Noks: aw¡­.

Chapter 66 - You didnt go to the wrong place Chapter 66 - You didn¡¯t go to the wrong ce Edited by xiin and Noks When they returned to the hotel, Yu Yan got out of the car. Yi Chen rolled down the window and asked, ¡°Are there any scenic spots you want to see?¡± Yu Yan was stunned for a moment before he shook his head. ¡°I thought I was only going to be here for a day or two, so I didn¡¯t look any up¡­ There¡¯s no time to go anyway.¡± Yi Chen let out an ¡°en¡± and said, ¡°Go back ba.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Yu Yan stood in ce and waved at him. The window didn¡¯t close. The two of them looked at each other for a few seconds, and then Yi Chen¡¯s lips raised as he asked, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you going inside?¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°Going in now.¡± ¡°En.¡± Yu Yan still wanted to say something and opened his mouth to do so when he was suddenly interrupted by the loud re of a horn from behind him. There were several cars lined up behind Yi Chen¡¯s, and they couldn¡¯t wait any longer. ¡°Leaving now. You should go in quickly.¡± Yi Chen stepped on the elerator to leave after having said that. Yu Yan watched him drive away and only turned to enter the hotel once he couldn¡¯t see him anymore at all. When he got back to the hotel room, he found Lu Xiuhe using hisptop to y LOL. ¡°Baby, I¡¯m here, tempt them a bit¡­¡± Hearing sounds of movement, Lu Xiuhe looked up. ¡°Xiao Yan, you¡¯re back? What did you go eat?¡± Yu Yan took off his coat and put it on the sofa as he answered, ¡°Steak.¡± ¡°You had steak for a midnight snack?¡± Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°¡­really exotic. What does Boss 1 look like ah? How old is he?¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°Don¡¯t know, looks like he¡¯s in his twenties.¡± Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°And his looks?¡± Yu Yan couldn¡¯t describe mens¡¯ appearances, and so could only tell the truth, ¡°More handsome than you.¡± ¡°?¡± Lu Xiuhe was shocked, ¡°I was just asking, why are you attacking me personally instead?¡± With that, he went back to being engrossed in the game. Yu Yan turned around and went to his room to prepare to take a bath. It was only then did he see the local specialty gift that he had ced in the corner of the room when he had first arrived. ¡°¡­¡­¡± No wonder he had kept feeling as if his hands were empty and that he had forgotten to take something with him. It didn¡¯t matter, there was still next time. He squatted down, picked out what he thought was delicious from the local specialties and set it aside. ¡°Xiao Yan!¡± Suddenly, Lu Xiuhe¡¯s voice sounded out from outside. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Come and help me for a bit.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°My mom called me, I have to deal with her.¡± Yu Yan went out, took over hisptop, and asked, ¡°Auntie didn¡¯t know you wereing to Jincheng?¡± ¡°I skipped ss toe here, how can I let her know¡­ Don¡¯t make a sound ah,¡± Lu Xiuhe said. Lu Xiuhe was ying Lee Sin, and the match was alreadying to an end¡­ They were just minutes away from the destruction of their Nexus by the other side. Yu Yan looked at the KDR ratio at the top of the screen and asked, ¡°It¡¯s already like this, why don¡¯t you surrender?¡± Lu Xiuhe covered the cell phone¡¯s microphone and said, ¡°My baby is ying Twitch and is really good at making aeback. y some more and see how it goes, anyone with a dream bes extraordinary.¡± Yu Yan was eager to realize his dream for him. But just as Lu Xiuhe uttered these few words, the enemy teamed up 5 against 1 and killed the Twitch who was killing creeps in the bottomne before heading straight for the base. Lu Xiuhe, the 2/9/3 Lee Sin, managed tond a big attack, but his opponents only lost three bars of health. He could only watch as their Nexus got destroyed. Yu Yan closed the game, took off his headphones, and got up to leave. Lu Xiuhe was sitting nearby. Yu Yan took two steps and then came to a sudden stop. ¡°Yes, I went to y with Xiao Yan. Where are we ying? At his house ah, really, don¡¯t you believe me? You wait, I¡¯ll let him tell you¡­¡± After Lu Xiuhe finished talking, he handed Yu Yan his cellphone and suddenly felt a weight on his head. He looked up nkly at Yu Yan, who had put his hand on his head. Yu Yan didn¡¯t speak. He rubbed his head first, then pinched Lu Xiuhe¡¯s face a bit. Lu Xiuhe: ¡°¡­?¡± Yu Yan let go of his face and asked him, ¡°How do you feel?¡± Lu Xiuhe felt muddled andpletely forgot that he was on the phone as he asked back, ¡°What feeling? What should I be feeling?¡± Yu Yan frowned. ¡°Do you think it¡¯s normal for me to do this?¡± Lu Xiuhe was even more muddled now and said, ¡°Wait a minute.¡± He turned to the phone. ¡°Mom, did you hear that, Xiao Yan¡¯s voice¡­ he has something going on, so he can¡¯t talk to you now ah. I also have stuff to do, so I¡¯ll hang up now. I¡¯lle home, I¡¯ll be back in a few days!¡± Only after hanging up the call did Lu Xiuhe say, ¡°Xiao Yan, you¡¯re perfectly fine, so what are you doing touching my head?¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°I also pinched your face.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe nodded,pletely dazed. ¡°So?¡± Yu Yan asked seriously, ¡°Are such gestures normal between friends?¡± Lu Xiuhe replied, ¡°It seems to be pretty normal among girls, from what I have seen before. If I touch other people¡¯s heads though, it¡¯s generally with the intent to provoke them.¡± ¡­Yi Chen certainly didn¡¯t mean to provoke him. Yu Yan nodded. ¡°I also don¡¯t want to touch your head or pinch your face at all.¡± Lu Xiuhe: ¡°?¡± If he didn¡¯t understand what Yu Yan was like, he would probably have already hit him by now. Yu Yan, as he turned to go back to his room, said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, you y ba¡­ I¡¯m going to take a bath.¡± Lu Xiuhe looked at his back and thought this whole thing was inexplicable. He muttered to himself as he put on his earphones, ¡°Has he gone silly from eating midnight snacks?¡± The voice channel had been switched on the whole time, and a message popped up in the game. [Little fairy wants a hug QAQ: Who?] ¡°Xiao Yan ah.¡± [Little fairy wants a hug QAQ: What did he do to you?] ¡°Don¡¯t know, he suddenly touched my head and pinched my face. I don¡¯t know what triggered him.¡± A long silence followed from the other side. [Little fairy wants a hug QAQ: Don¡¯t stay with him anymore, move out ba.] Lu Xiuhe paused, but then couldn¡¯t helpughing as he said, ¡°This room is so good, why would I move out? We can also take good care of each other when we stay together.¡± [Little fairy wants a hug QAQ: ¡­I¡¯ll pay for your room. Move out tonight.] Lu Xiuhe replied, ¡°No, it¡¯s too much trouble, I¡¯d also have to pack again. And I don¡¯t need your money. Why do you suddenly want me to move out¡­¡± [Little fairy wants a hug QAQ: You¡¯re just going to let him touch you like that?] ¡°No¡­ What ah, no, no, it¡¯s just a little bit of touching. What are you thinking, he and I are both men.¡± Lu Xiuhe joked, ¡°Besides, even if we were bent, I would be the one making moves on him ah. You don¡¯t know, but Xiao Yan is very attractive.¡± He still had something more to say, but a sound signalling that his only teammate had quit the game rang through his earphones suddenly. Little fairy wants a hug¡¯s name had also turned dark. ¡ª Yu Yan was still thinking as he took his bath. Why did Yi Chen¡­ touch his head ah? And pinch his face¡­ Yu Yan, from when he was small until now, had never had anyone else do something like this to him except for his parents or teachers. If it had been someone else, such as Lu Xiuhe doing that to him, he would definitely not think much of it. If it was Yu Minyang, or even Tuantuan, then also he wouldn¡¯t think much of it. The bathroom in the hotel room was veryrge, and it even had a bathtub. Yu Yan nced at the box of flower petals and all kinds of aromatherapy oil bottles ced on the table, and then looked at therge mirror that reflected the view beside the bathtub. Looking down from the window next to the bathtub, you could see the night view of the whole area, and it was bright and gorgeous. Yu Yan stood beside the bathtub and looked at the night scenery, then picked up the towel before turning to the shower area. Yu Yan remembered what he had heard in the elevator and got up early the next morning. Jincheng was prosperous, and had more Inte cafes than Manyang, but every Inte cafe only had a fewputers with a setup to support a livestream. Yu Yan ran to four different Inte cafes, only to find that all suchputers had already been upied. Lu Xiuhe made several phone calls, but it was fruitless. He said, ¡°¡­In fact, there are someputers that can support a livestream, it¡¯s just that they¡¯re not in a booth, so it¡¯ll be a bit noisy, and the quality of streaming from such machines is rtively bad.¡± ¡°No way.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°The stream quality being bad would be okay, but¡­ we have to find one in a booth.¡± ¡°Then we¡¯ll just have to search some more ba.¡± Yu Yan let out an ¡°en¡±, and was just going to continue making phone calls when a voice call request suddenly popped up on his cellphone. Yi Chen asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you reply?¡± Yu Yan looked at his cellphone and said, ¡°¡­I was stuck on the phone this entire time and didn¡¯t pay attention to WeChat. What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Asked if you¡¯re free tomorrow night.¡± ¡°I might have to livestream.¡± Lu Xiuhe interrupted him, ¡°Livestream my ass, we can¡¯t even find a machine. You¡¯re not going to get up at the crack of dawn tomorrow to try and find a machine ba?¡± Yi Chen put the documents for his meeting aside and asked, ¡°No machines?¡± Yu Yan went to the side of the road and drank a mouthful of water before replying, ¡°En, there are too many anchors and too fewputers at the Inte cafes.¡± Yi Chen twirled the pen in his fingertips and pondered for a moment before suggesting, ¡°Come to my house to livestream ba.¡± Yu Yan froze. ¡°What?¡± ¡°I have aputer at home that¡¯s been newly put together. It can be used to livestream.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°My home¡¯s not far from the hotel.¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°No need¡­¡± ¡°Then what are you nning to do, ask for leave today and try to grab aputer in the Inte cafe before dawn tomorrow morning?¡± Yi Chen¡¯s voice was calm. ¡°I live alone, so there¡¯s no one at home during the day, and I¡¯m the only one there at night. I¡¯ll be in my study, and the room has very good sound instion. I also won¡¯t charge you any inte fees.¡± He could livestream, use good equipment, pay no Inte fees, and stay in Yi Chen¡¯s house. ¡­What kind of peerless good situation was this? Although he knew that he shouldn¡¯t disturb him, Yu Yan¡¯s heart was very sincerely¡­ moring to go. At this time, Lu Xiuhe hung up another phone call. ¡°They don¡¯t have booths either, exactly how many anchors are there ah?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t know, dozens ba.¡± Yu Yan finished saying that, then said to the person on the phone, ¡°Then¡­ I¡¯ll have to bother you. Are youing back in the evening? I¡¯ll prepare dinner for you as an Inte fee ba?¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, ¡°You can also cook?¡± ¡°Not very well.¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°I¡¯ll order takeout, is that alright?¡± Yi Chenughed and saw his secretarye in. ¡°Yes,¡± he said. ¡°I¡¯ll send you the address and passcode¡­ You can head there first.¡± Yu Yan hung up and told Lu Xiuhe about this matter. Lu Xiuhe replied, ¡°Then I¡¯ll go back to the hotel.¡± Yu Yan was surprised. ¡°You¡¯re not going to an Inte cafe?¡± ¡°No, my baby isn¡¯t ying today. I¡¯ll go back to get some more sleep.¡± Lu Xiuhe casually asked, ¡°Then, will youe back tonight?¡± Yu Yan reflexively said, ¡°Of course I¡¯ming back!¡± Lu Xiuhe replied, ¡°Okay, then give me a room card ba.¡± Yu Yan gave Lu Xiuhe one of the room cards, called over a taxi, and gave the address Yi Chen had sent him to the driver. Ten minutester, the car stopped at a vi. Yu Yan stood outside the door, repeatedly making sure that he hadn¡¯te to the wrong ce, and only then did he enter the passcode. He had just pressed a few of the buttons when he suddenly heard a click. Yu Yan hadn¡¯t even reacted to the sound yet when the door in front of him was suddenly pushed open. He took a step back instinctively. A young man, who seemed to have just gotten a haircut came out, looking clean and fresh. Yu Yan was shocked. He remembered Yi Chen saying that he lived alone, and that there would be no one else at home. Having heard movement at the door, Yi Ran, who hade out specifically to take a look, popped his head out and asked, ¡°Ah?¡± Yu Yan looked down at his cellphone and then at the door te again. Although his heart was filled with doubts, he still said, ¡°Sorry, I seem to have gotten the wrong house.¡± When Yi Ran saw the person clearly, his eyes widened like that of an owl¡¯s , and he grasped the person who was about to leave. ¡°No!¡± He shouted, ¡°Sister-inw, you didn¡¯t go to the wrong ce!¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Hahaha, nice Yi Ran!

Chapter 67 - WhiChapter of your friends has a voice like mine? Edited by xiin and Noks The person in front of him had spoken very clearly, so Yu Yan couldn¡¯t even consider the fact that he had heard him wrong. ¡­He might have a rtively popr face, but however you looked at him, he didn¡¯t look anything like a woman ba? ¡°You¡¯re mistaken.¡± Yu Yan moved his arm out of Yi Ran¡¯s grasp and said, ¡°I¡¯m a man.¡± ¡°I know, I know.¡± Yi Ran grabbed him again. ¡°I said to wait a moment¡­ You¡¯re here for my Ge ba? I¡¯m Yi Ran, the Yi Ran in your WeChat ah.¡± Yu Yan was stunned. He scrutinised the person in front of him from top to bottom before finally noticing some familiar features. He had seen Yi Ran¡¯s selfie before, but because the angle with which the photo had been taken was different, he had failed to recognize him for a while. Yu Yan was caught off guard at suddenly running into an online friend and exined, ¡°¡­Excuse me, I¡¯m not here to find Yi Chen. I¡¯m here to borrow hisputer, and I¡¯ve already let him know about all this in advance.¡± Yi Ran nodded as he listened. Of course Xiao Yan wouldn¡¯t have been able to find his way here without his Ge¡¯s permission. He stepped aside, making way. ¡°Quicklye on in.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s home was a little big for someone who lived alone. Yu Yan couldn¡¯t look around everywhere, but wherever he looked, it seemed elegant and cold. ¡°Xiao Yan, when did youe to Jincheng, howe you didn¡¯t tell me?¡± Yi Ran asked, ¡°If I wasn¡¯t helping my mom in bringing something over to this ce, I wouldn¡¯t have met you.¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°I just arrived yesterday.¡± ¡°Came to see my Ge? But my Ge is very busy recently, does he have time to apany you? Or, how about I¡¯ll take you around to have fun?¡± Yu Yan was stunned at the invitation and quickly shook his head. ¡°No¡­ I came to participate in StarTV¡¯s annual g.¡± Yi Ran was shocked. ¡°Annual g? When? Howe I don¡¯t know about such a fun thing?¡± ¡°It¡¯s being held on the second of next month, it¡¯ll be livestreamed as well.¡± Who would want to watch the livestream ah? Yi Ran nced at the time. ¡°It¡¯s already 11:30, are youte?¡± Yu Yan let out an ¡°en¡± and asked, ¡°Yes¡­ Do you know where hisputer is?¡± ¡°Yes, in the study.¡± Yi Ran said, ¡°Follow me.¡± They walked together all the way to the study. As soon as the door opened, Yu Yan saw the hanger beside the desk, on which was a suit jacket that he had seen countless times in video calls. Yi Ran said, ¡°It¡¯s right here, my Ge must have told you the password ba? I¡¯m going out now, but if there¡¯s timeter, I¡¯lle back to hang out with you ah.¡± Yu Yan nodded and said goodbye to him. Only after hearing the door close did he go to theputer. He also smelled the scent of a familiar cologne when he passed by the hanger. The owner must have probably forgotten about sending it for dry cleaning after work. He took a few sniffs, quickly sat in front of theputer, took in the appearance of its overall set-up, and frowned doubtfully. Thisputer¡­ didn¡¯t seem to be the same as the one in the picture Yi Chen had sent him? He hesitated for a moment, but then still turned on theputer. He typed in the password Yi Chen had sent him and logged in sessfully. Seeing the various folders on the desktop, Yu Yan felt even more confused. He dared not move things around randomly, and didn¡¯t even look at the file names, instead directly opening up a web browser. Once opened, the browser¡¯s default homepage wasunched automatically, which disyed the web pagesmonly visited and bookmarked by the owner. With almost just a single nce, Yu Yan noticed the website ¡°.cilicili¡± among the list ofmonly visited sites. His heart leaped, and he drew closer to the screen in disbelief. After a few minutes passed, he finally couldn¡¯t help himself. He gently clicked on the website link, and the web page immediately opened up. On the top left corner of the web page was a video title in arge font¡ª¡ª [The things that Little Anchor x Big Boss can¡¯t help but say¡­ story [part 6]] ¡­ £¿£¿£¿ Yu Yan realised that ever since he had gotten to know Yi Chen, he had lost all control on whether his heart desired to live or die. He couldn¡¯t seem to help himself and hit the y button. In the following two minutes and twenty-six seconds, he even saw the appearance of the line in the barrage that he had sent through a side ount¡ª ¡°Lord PO worked hard, presenting two C coins, looking forward to the next video.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± The webpage would only appear here if the owner of theputer had already seen the video. And it seemed to have been watched more than once. If it was just the ¡°1YanTang¡± kind of secret code, Yu Yan could still persuade himself that Yi Chen simply didn¡¯t understand the meaning of it, which was also why he allowed the stream followers to joke around with it. But this kind of video¡­ It couldn¡¯t be that Yi Chen still didn¡¯t understand it? It was even tagged with [Danmei video], [gay], [cp]¡ª these kinds of scious and inly obvious tags were present at the bottom of the video. The video had already automatically started ying for a second time while Yu Yan was still in a state of shock. He didn¡¯te back to his senses until his cellphone rang. ¡ª It was only during a break in the meeting that Yi Chen discovered a message from two days ago in his mailbox. Yi Ran¡¯s mother had said that she had bought some good tea from another province and had asked Yi Ran to send it to him in a few days. She¡¯d also told him to drink less coffee. Yi Chen had just replied with an ¡°alright¡± when he was told by the other party that she had already sent Yi Ran off to deliver it to his house today. Thinking of the guest at his house today, Yi Chen made a very rare gesture before the meeting ended and made a private phone call. It took a long time for the call to be answered. The voice of the person on the side of the call seemed to be ufortable. ¡°Hello¡­ Yi Chen?¡± ¡°Have you arrived home?¡± ¡°En.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I¡¯m already using theputer, but I tried it, and it seems that it can¡¯t support the livestream.¡± Yi Chen frowned. ¡°Whichputer are you using?¡± ¡°The one in the study.¡± Yu Yan paused before saying, ¡°¡­Yi Ran brought me here.¡± Yi Chen hadpletely forgotten about the browsing history on hisputer. ¡°That¡¯s not it. Head out of the study, and the room on the far right is theputer room.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Is Yi Ran still in the house?¡± ¡°No, he just went out.¡± Yi Chen let out an ¡°en¡± and said, ¡°There¡¯s something that I may need to trouble you with.¡± Yu Yan rushed to turn off theputer as if there was something really disastrous on it. Yu Yan replied, ¡°Okay¡­ Just tell me.¡± ¡°Go to the main entrance and help me change the door code.¡± Not expecting it to be such a request, Yu Yan was shocked. ¡°Ah? That¡¯s not very good ba.¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with it, you can just set it to the original passcode in reverse.¡± After hanging up the phone, Yu Yan went to the front door and changed the passcode ording to the way Yi Chen had just said to do. Then, he fumbled his way into theputer room and sure enough, saw the high-endputer from the picture. There were many peripheral furnishings all around it as well. Yu Yan couldn¡¯t help exploring it a bit. Only after looking at the PUBG character equipment essories for a while did he start his livestream. Having gotten used to the old machine at home, when he now used this high-specputer, he finally understood what people meant when they said they felt like they were flying. He didn¡¯t waste any time. After starting the livestream, he shared it on Weibo as soon as possible, and the viewers soon poured in. [Holy shit, the anchor¡¯s background seems to be different? I¡¯m not remembering wrong ba?] [It¡¯s said that arge number of StarTV anchors have gone to Jincheng, and there will be a tform-wide annual g in a few days.] [The quality of this picture¡­ I¡¯m really crying.] In the past, because of hardware issues, the image quality of Yu Yan¡¯s livestream fell somewhere in the lower middle levels amongst that of all the anchors, and he had topletely rely on his gaming abilities to keep his audience attracted. Now, with the livestream being yed in Blu-ray quality , even all the trees and grass in the game appeared as lifelike, as if the viewers themselves were ying the game. Yu Yan started a solo match, nning to test out the sensitivity of the mouse. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m not at home during this period of time.¡± [Then where are you?] Yu Yan said vaguely, ¡°¡­At a friend¡¯s house.¡± [It couldn¡¯t be Tuantuan¡¯s house ba? I remember that Tuantuan is also in Jincheng, and she mentioned before on Weibo that she would entertain Xiao Yan. Moreover, the picture quality of Tuantuan¡¯s livestream is also Blu-ray quality.] As soon as these words came out, several people actually appeared below to answer¡ª [I also think so! These two are so sweet ah.] [I didn¡¯t feel anything before, but after watching some livestream reys, I found that Xiao Yan and Tuantuan are like the lead male and female characters in a game. The hero saves the beauty plot is delicious!] ¡°Not Tuantuan.¡± Yu Yan spoke in a light tone, ¡°Tuantuan and I are just ordinary friends. Everyone is free to ship CP¡¯s, but please just nt on your own plot ba, thank you.¡± After ying all afternoon, Yu Yan realized that this mouse and keyboard set seemed easier to use than the ones he used at home. At the end of a match, he couldn¡¯t help but open a memo app on his cellphone and note down the models of these two things. [It¡¯s seven o¡¯clock, Xiao Yan isn¡¯t eating yet? Don¡¯t you usually take a break at half past six?] Yu Yan nced at the time and said, ¡°I¡¯ll eatter today. It¡¯s okay, I¡¯m going to continue to queue.¡± Since he had agreed to be responsible for Yi Chen¡¯s dinner, he decided to eat together with the other party when he returned home. It had already struck half past eight by the time Yi Chen finished hisst meeting. Just after the meeting ended and before the staff left the room, he took the lead in taking out his cellphone from his pocket. Little Anchor: Yi Ran is here. Little Anchor: He has been knocking at the door for several minutes. Little Anchor: ¡­What should I do? These messages had been sent half an hour ago. 1: You let him in? Little Anchor: No, I pretended I wasn¡¯t there. The employees, who were clearing up the meeting documents, suddenly heard their immediate superiorughing. Everyone raised their eyes and looked at each other. 1: It¡¯s not good to trick people. Yi Chen got up and strode out of the conference room. Unexpectedly, there was a person sitting outside his office. Seeing him, Mo Nancheng got up and stretched. ¡°Hey, Miss Secretary said I didn¡¯t make an appointment and adamantly refused to let me go inside to wait for you. My old waist has almost broken from sitting so much.¡± Yi Chen looked at his secretary approvingly. ¡°Well done.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Mo Nancheng followed Yi Chen into his office. Yi Chen put the documents in their proper ce, raised his eyes, and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Nothing really¡­¡± Mo Nancheng sat down at his desk and asked, ¡°Let¡¯s have a meal tonight and go soak in the hot springs?¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°Why, it¡¯s been so tiring recently, you should rx a bit.¡± Yi Chen refused. ¡°I have something to do.¡± Mo Nancheng¡¯s face filled with understanding, and he ced his elbows on the table and drew closer to him to ask, ¡°It seems that what Xiao Ran said was true, you really are hiding someone in your house!¡± ¡°Hiding?¡± Yi Chen snorted as he said, ¡°You think I¡¯m the same as you?¡± ¡°Then tell me, is there anyone in your house?! Is it that little anchor?!¡± ¡°Does it have anything to do with you?¡± Mo Nancheng clicked his tongue. ¡°Even heroes fall for male beauties, I understand. I¡¯m just very curious about how good that young man is, to even bend a thousand year old fossil like you.¡± Yi Chen frowned. ¡°I don¡¯t have that kind of rtionship with him.¡± ¡°Then what is it, Gege and Didi, or are you two pretending to be father and son?¡± ¡°He couldn¡¯t find aputer, and I was willing to help him.¡± Yi Chen originally didn¡¯t like to exin things, but somehow, after listening to the two rtionshipbels Mo Nancheng had described for him, it felt very displeasing to his ear. ¡°That¡¯s all.¡± Mo Nancheng replied, ¡°If you wanted to help him, isn¡¯t that simple to do? You could just directly buy aputer for him and send it to the hotel, how good is that? But you went as far as taking him home?¡± Yi Chen nced at him coolly. ¡°It¡¯s almost the end of the year, why are you so idle, is yourpany going to copse?¡± ¡°Not yet, don¡¯t worry.¡± Mo Nancheng was smiling widely. ¡°In fact, I¡¯m also sympathetic towards this little anchor, and I¡¯d like to help him. How¡¯s this ba, give me his contact information, and I¡¯ll send him ten or eightputers so he can stream wherever he wants.¡± ¡°Does heck these fewputers you want to give?¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t even think before standing up and saying, ¡°Scram ba.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t he short on aputer right now ma? If I send him some, then he can happily stream from the hotel, and you can work quietly at home, it¡¯ll be the best of both worlds. To be honest¡­ I¡¯ve already gotten his WeChat from Xiao Ran, but he still hasn¡¯t epted my friend request. How about you talk to him about it¡­¡± Yi Chen¡¯s eyes shed with a subtle haze, and he interrupted him, ¡°You¡¯d better be d that he still hasn¡¯t epted your friend request.¡± ¡°¡­Why?¡± Mo Nancheng asked. ¡°If he had epted,¡± Yi Chen stood up, picked up his coat, leisurely put it on, and said, ¡°I would have helped set up a very lively ex-girlfriend meeting next month.¡± As Yi Chen was driving home, he was still thinking about Mo Nancheng¡¯s words. In his heart, his intentions towards the little anchor were very straightforward in nature¡ª he just really wanted to be good to the little anchor and also couldn¡¯t bear to see him being wronged. He had never liked anyone before, so he didn¡¯t know if these intentions counted as him liking someone or not. Because this emotion seemed to be no different from the way he usually treated his family members. Also, some people were just born likeable, and Yu Yan was one of them. When he got home, he saw warm light seeping from the door of theputer room which was opened slightly. He stood and watched this sight for a while before he pushed the door fully open. The young man was sitting in front of theputer and was wearing earphones. When he heard the sound of the door open, he immediately raised his head and looked up at Yi Chen. In a sh, many emotions appeared in his eyes. ¡°Yi¡­¡± Yu Yan opened his mouth and made a sound, but immediately remembered that he was livestreaming, and so stopped at once. He smiled sheepishly, and uttered only the second half of the sentence he had meant to say, ¡°You¡¯re back.¡± Looking at his little white tiger tooth, Yi Chen felt as if something hard had hit him in his chest. ¡°En.¡± After a short pause, he calmly walked forward and put the takeout bag in his hand on the table. ¡°Turn off the livestream and eat first.¡± ¡°Shhh¡­¡± Yu Yan reflexively said, ¡°My mic isn¡¯t off¡­¡± However, it was toote. The stream followers immediately recognized the voice of the stream¡¯s big boss, and the screen of the barrage was flooded with a rush of lines. [That voice!! Even if I die I can¡¯t mistake it! It¡¯s absolutely 1!!] [So you¡¯re at Boss 1¡¯s house?! Ooo, I¡¯m swooning, too exciting. I have to go read Mrs. Side ount¡¯s newest piece to calm down a bit¡­] [WTF¡­ I dered that I wouldn¡¯t ship any CPs at first, but it seems that there really is something off about these two ah!!] Yu Yan was ready toe to the rescue. ¡°No, it¡¯s just that my friend¡¯s voice is a little like 1¡¯s¡­¡± Seeing the effort he was putting into whitewashing himself, Yi Chen¡¯s eyebrows furrowed a bit. ¡°Which of your friends has a voice like mine?¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± Stream followers: ¡°¡­?¡± Stream followers: ¡°¡­!¡± ¡ª The author has something to say: With so many people watching, can¡¯t you save some face for my son? ¡ª Juurensha: Ahahaha, Boss Yi making sure everyone knows whose house Yanyan is at! And Boss Yi ever so slowly realizing his own feelings (Boss Yi, you watched shipping videos more than once,e on, that¡¯s not a familial rtionship) xiin: now i¡¯m actually confused¡­ he *doesn¡¯t* know that he likes Yu Yan? Then what¡¯s he doing watching CP videos¡­???? Noks: These two are so adorable!! And Yi Chen, understand your feelings for what they really are quickly! Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! And there¡¯s an audio drama for PUBG that came out! It¡¯s more condensed than the novel, but it¡¯s fun! And check out our fanart/fanfic page! Chapter 68 - Hand over a first-meeting gift ba Chapter 68 - Hand over a first-meeting gift ba Edited by Noks and xiin Yu Yan seldom lied and thus had no experience of being exposed on the spot. He blushed and quickly looked at the barrage. [Okay, you can even deceive your mama. You¡¯re finally grown up.] [I will kneel in front of theputer for three days and three nights, just to meet Boss 1.] [Looking at the background, Boss 1¡¯s house seems very luxurious. It seems that he is really a big boss¡­] Yi Chen was still standing nearby, so Yu Yan dared not read the lines in the barrage too carefully. As soon as the match finished, he turned off the barrage assistant. ¡°Going to first pause for a bit and y a movie for everyone. I¡¯ll go have dinner in the meantime.¡± Then, amid the flurry of mounting question marks that appeared in the barrage, he turned off the camera. He got up and took the initiative in picking up the takeout bag ced at his side. ¡°Shall we eat at the table?¡± Yi Chen finished reading the work email he had just received and uttered an ¡°en.¡± Yu Yan had thought that Yi Chen had ordered takeout, and had then arrived home just in time to meet the delivery person, and so had carried it all in. Only after all the dishes had been taken out of the bag, and he could clearly see what they were, did he worryingly realize that no takeout ce would serve food this rich. These several bags all contained seafood. The lobsters were too big, and thus only one had been packed in each box. There was also abalone, scallop, and oysters, on which were sprinkled minced garlic and vermicelli. ¡°These¡­¡± Yi Chen took out the tableware and chopsticks. ¡°Doesn¡¯t everyone eat seafood in Manyang?¡± He looked at the bottom of the bag for the condiment sachets. ¡°Chili.¡± Yu Yan nodded, and then asked, ¡°But didn¡¯t we agree that I would buy dinner?¡± ¡°It was on the way home; there¡¯s a pretty good seafood restaurant next to thepany.¡± Since he had already bought the food and even brought it back home, Yu Yan could only say, ¡°Tomorrow, I¡¯m buying.¡± Fearing that the other side would take the lead again, he added, ¡°I¡¯ve already picked out which restaurant to order from.¡± Yi Chen chuckled and agreed, ¡°Okay.¡± Yu Yan washed his hands, put on gloves, de-shelled the lobster skillfully, and picked out arge piece of lobster meat in a few deft moves. He was about to deliver it to his mouth when he saw the person in front of him sitting in a calm andposed manner as he worked through something difficult¡ª such as picking the meat within the scallops with only his chopsticks. He had been trying to pick out the meat for a long time, and his repeated failure to do so had caused his eyebrows to wrinkle. Yu Yan said, ¡°There are gloves here¡­¡± Yi Chen shook his head and pursed his lips. ¡°No need.¡± Yu Yan watched him repeatedly poke at that piece of meat for a long time, which was a really funny sight. Then, he reached for the scallop and said, ¡°I¡¯ll help you.¡± He also put the newly de-shelled lobster meat into Yi Chen¡¯s bowl, saying quietly, ¡°You bought it for me, so I¡¯ll peel it for you¡­ so at the very least it won¡¯t count as me just having a free meal. ¡± Yi Chen had originally wanted to refuse, but after hearing these words, he raised his eyebrows a little and picked up the lobster meat that had been ced in his bowl. The two of them peeled and ate the food in this manner, chatting for a bit in the middle, and it took half an hour to finish dinner. After dinner, they ced the dishes in the dishwasher. Yi Chen got up and loosened his tie with one hand. ¡°You know where the study is. Come find me if you need anything.¡± Yu Yan couldn¡¯t recall the number of times he had seen this same action in the video calls, but it definitely wasn¡¯t as stimting as it felt after seeing it with his own eyes. He nodded randomly and tied up the garbage bag. ¡°I¡¯ll leave this outside first ba. If I leave it in the room, it will be too smelly.¡± Yi Chen noticed that he was only wearing a short T-shirt, and that he seemed to have left his coat in theputer room. He said, ¡°No need, it¡¯s cooling down tonight, and it¡¯s cold outside. If you close the door, you won¡¯t smell it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, the garbage can isn¡¯t far away. I saw it today, it¡¯s just a few steps away from the door.¡± Yu Yan went to the door and picked out a pair of slippers that he knew were for outdoor use. ¡°Can I wear these?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Yan felt something heavy fall on his body, and the smell of Gi cologne immediately filled his nostrils. He now had an extra suit jacket on his shoulders, and he could also feel the warmth that radiated from the inneryer of the jacket. Yi Chen said, ¡°Yes. Wear this as well when going out, and then put it on the sofa however you like once youe back.¡± ¡°¡­¡­Okay.¡± The temperature outside had dropped, and a cold wind blew into Yu Yan¡¯s face as soon as he opened the door. But he didn¡¯t feel cold; he was surrounded by a dry warmth all over. He wanted to quickly throw the garbage bag away and go back inside, but he also didn¡¯t want to take off the coat. It was hard to have his cake and eat it too. Finally, worried about his livestream, he decided to turn around and hastened back into the house. After turning the camera on again, he realized that today¡¯s livestream was somewhat different from the past ones. In the past, whenever he came back from dinner, the number of stream followers in the stream would be greatly reduced. After all, not everyone had the patience to watch movies while waiting for him to resume streaming. Today, the number of viewers hadn¡¯t decreased at all, rather, it had increased by nearly 10,000 more. [I¡¯m going to take a big test tomorrow. Now, I¡¯ve put my cell phone on top of my test materials, and the test can go to hell.] [Okay, 40 minutes, Boss 1 is awesome.] What 40 minutes? And why was that awesome? Yu Yan was curious but couldn¡¯t ask too many questions about it. All he could do was continue to bury himself in the livestream. Yi Chen sat in his study and finished reading all the documents he needed to in half an hour. He then looked in the direction of theputer room and hesitated for a moment before picking out regr clothes and taking a bath. Just when he came out of the bathroom, his cellphone rang. It was actually Mo Nancheng video-calling him. The other party had never initiated a video-call with him before. Worrying that it was about something urgent, Yi Chen took the call. A smokey visual appeared on the other side of the screen, and there was a small te carrying wine and snacks floating on top of the hot spring water. Mo Nancheng said, ¡°It¡¯s a big loss that you didn¡¯te with me. This is my newly discovered paradise. It¡¯s getting cooler tonight, but I¡¯m especiallyfortable right now!¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t even think before saying, ¡°Hanging up.¡± ¡°Hey, wait! Aren¡¯t I here to ask you about something?¡± ¡°Talk.¡± ¡°Everyone¡¯s been so busytely, but isn¡¯t tomorrow the weekend? Want to rx a bit?¡± Mo Nancheng said, ¡°y mahjong, cultivate everyone¡¯s feelings a bit?¡± All business partners had their own hobbies. Therefore, in order to foster and facilitate smooth rtions with everyone else, Yi Chen had be proficient in all 18 styles of martial arts, and even though he didn¡¯t like going to bars and pubs, he had still developed a high tolerance for alcohol. Simrly, he didn¡¯t like to gamble, but his ability to y chess and card games was first-ss. During New Year celebrations, he often made Mo Nancheng and the others cry bitter tears. ¡°No,¡± said Yi Chen. ¡°Why ah?¡± As soon as Mo Nancheng finished asking, he remembered a certain someone and said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you have someone at home, just bring them along ma.¡± ¡°No, not interested.¡± ¡°Tch, you.¡± Mo Nancheng continued, ¡°I guess the little anchor will be bored to death by you after this trip to Jincheng.¡± Yi Chen halted his action of hanging up the video call. Mo Nancheng saw him hesitate, and immediately struck while the iron was hot. ¡°He seems fairly young? Think of your Di, and how happy he feels to run around outside every couple of days. Besides, ying mahjong is not a big deal.¡± ¡°He¡¯s different from Yi Ran.¡± He said that, but Yi Chen still paused and then asked, ¡°When?¡± Mo Nancheng eximed, ¡°Anytime! You decide! It depends on the schedule you and the little anchor have set up.¡± At eleven o¡¯clock, when Yu Yan was ying in the semi-final circle, two knocks sounded at the door. Yi Chen entered with a ss of milk and conveniently ced it beside him. He stood as he pleased, and thus most of his body appeared in the view of the camera, which caused the barrage to immediately explode. The 1YanTang fangirls, who had been waiting for a long time, all said that this period of waiting had not been in vain. Yu Yan quickly turned off the barrage assistant using his sharp eyes and nimble fingers, then looked up and asked him, ¡°¡­are you done with work?¡± ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen looked at the game interface and said, ¡°After this match, end your stream ba.¡± Yu Yan thought that he had disturbed him. He was stunned, then nodded and replied, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll do it as soon as possible.¡± After eating chicken in thest round, Yu Yan gloriously ended the stream. He immediately turned off theputer and got up quickly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for disturbing you today¡­ I¡¯ll get up earlier tomorrow and see if there¡¯s an empty booth in an Inte cafe.¡± Yi Chen pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, ¡°Get ready by eight, and then I¡¯ll pick you up.¡± Yu Yan was stunned. ¡°Ah?¡± ¡°Do you know how to y Jincheng mahjong?¡± Yi Chen had just casually asked this question. After all, whenever PUBG servers were undergoing maintenance, the type of QQ mahjong that Yu Yan usually yed instead was Jincheng mahjong. Yu Yan nodded nkly. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°It¡¯s the weekend tomorrow; if you start livestreaming two hours earlier, you could then apany me in ying mahjong in the evening?¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°I¡¯m not very good at it, I always lose.¡± Yu Yan hurriedly disclosed, ¡°In fact, I also can¡¯t y it well¡­¡± ¡°Still better than me.¡± Yi Chen handed him the ss of milk. It felt as if it had been heated, and the ss was still a bit warm because of the heated milk. ¡°I¡¯ll take you back after you finish drinking this.¡± ¡ª Back at the hotel, Yu Yan posted a message about the temporary change in livestream times on Weibo to inform his fans. ¡°Ugh.¡± Lu Xiuhe was lying on the sofa, holding his cell phone, and had just scrolled to Yu Yan¡¯s post. ¡°You¡¯reing back early tomorrow night? Then let¡¯s go and take a stroll through the night market ba.¡± ¡°Noting back early, I have something to do in the evening.¡± Yu Yan looked at him strangely from the side. ¡°You still haven¡¯t met your girlfriend yet? Does she still not have time?¡± ¡°Not only is there no time¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe wanted to cry but couldn¡¯t squeeze out any tears. ¡°I don¡¯t know what happened, but I provoked her and made her angry. I¡¯ve been coaxing her all day, but I still haven¡¯t seeded.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Then you reflect on yourself a bit ba.¡± ¡°?¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you even pity me a bit? I really don¡¯t know what I did wrong, I didn¡¯t do anything ah! Then how about you teach me what I should do now¡­¡± ¡°Red Dragon.¡± A cold female voice sounded out from Yu Yan¡¯s cellphone. Lu Xiuhe looked at the person beside him, who was thoroughly engrossed in his phone, with tears in his eyes. ¡°I¡¯m so miserable, how can you still be in the mood to y QQ mahjong?¡± ¡°Practicing,¡± Yu Yan said ambiguously, ¡°You go on¡­ I¡¯m listening.¡± Lu Xiuhe: ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan started streaming early the next day. At nine o¡¯clock in the evening, he casually stated that he was ending the stream. After ying thest match, he quickly shut down the livestreaming studio software, even though his stream followers¡¯ were in the middle of questioning and mocking him. When the screen went dark, he picked up his cellphone and was wondering about whether he should send a message to Yi Chen. Unexpectedly, just as he unlocked it, his cellphone vibrated. 1: Done with your stream? Yu Yan: En¡­ Just ended it. 1: Wait for me in the living room. He had been sitting in the living room for a few minutes before the bedroom door opened. Through the door, Yu Yan caught a glimpse of a big bed with very ascetic grey sheets. Yi Chen had changed into casual clothes, which made him seem less serious than his usual appearance, more careless and casual. He noticed the person sitting very rigidly on the sofa, as he fiddled with something on his phone. ¡°You wait first.¡± Tossing this sentence behind, Yi Chen went to the kitchen. When he came back, he had a ss of milk in his hand. He handed it to Yu Yan and said, ¡°We¡¯ll leave after you drink this.¡± Yu Yan took it with a puzzled expression. ¡°This¡­ is a habit of yours?¡± ¡°Drink to grow taller.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Yu Yan took a sip and said, ¡°I¡¯ve already passed the age of growing taller.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s reply was concise andprehensive. ¡°Can still grow.¡± The two of them went out of the door. Yu Yan looked at the empty yard, then looked all around the house, but still couldn¡¯t catch sight of the familiar Maybach. ¡°Here.¡± Yi Chen took a turn. They went downstairs to the garage. Yu Yan was nearly blinded by the luxury cars lined up in front of him. Commercial vehicles, convertibles, and even electric cars¡ªthey were all there, and just by looking at the various different types of cars, you could tell that all of it was worth a lot. He knew that Yi Chen was rich, but he hadn¡¯t expected¡­ him to actually be rich to this extent. ¡°Do you have a driver¡¯s license?¡± Yu Yan shook his head. ¡°¡­No.¡± ¡°If you have the opportunity, go learn ba. It¡¯s convenient.¡± There were several phone calls made to Yi Chen as they were on their way there, and all of them were from Mo Nancheng. Yi Chen remained expressionless as he hung up another one. ¡°This group is a bit noisy. If they bother youter, just ignore them.¡± Yu Yan nodded. ¡°I don¡¯t mind, I¡¯m not afraid of noise.¡± They arrived at an exclusive club, and as soon as the staff saw them, they immediately came forward and took their coats. The manager personally escorted them to the private room. As soon as the door opened, they saw Yi Ran, who was seated at the mahjong table and seemed to be exchanging chips with the waiter nearby. As soon as the man seated next to Yi Ran saw them, he took the lead in getting up and smiled especially warmly and kindly. ¡°Xiao Yan, you¡¯re finally here.¡± Yu Yan made sure that he didn¡¯t know the man before nodding and saying, ¡°¡­Hello?¡± ¡°Meeting you for the first time, and my name is Mo Nancheng.¡± Mo Nancheng came up to shake his hand. Yi Chen stepped in front of him to block his action. ¡°Came to y mahjong, not to make connections.¡± ¡°Fine.¡± Mo Nancheng said, ¡°I have exchanged all the chips for you. Here¡­ Which one of you two will be ying?¡± ¡°Him,¡± replied Yi Chen. The four people required for the game seated themselves. They were Yu Yan, Yi Ran, Mo Nancheng, and another friend they usually yed with. ¡°Xiao Yan, can you y Jincheng mahjong? Or shall I teach you?¡± Yi Ran asked. Yu Yan replied, ¡°I can y it a little.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just you have to have a set of 2¡¯s, or 5¡¯s, or 8¡¯s¡­¡± Yi Ran had only uttered a single sentence when he heard a ¡°bang¡°. His cousin had moved a stool to sit between him and Xiao Yan. His eyes were cold as he gave him a slight look. ¡°Does he need you to teach him?¡± Yi Ran: ¡°¡­¡± No one at the table had thought that Yi Chen would sit and watch. After all, he was often impatient in casual meetings with them, and it was hard enough to invite him to y mahjong at ordinary times, let alone for a game where he would watch from the side. Yu Yan looked at the chips in the drawer and whispered to the person next to him, ¡°These chips, how much is each of them worth?¡± ¡°Not much,¡± said Yi Chen. Mo Nancheng nodded repeatedly. ¡°Small bets make you happy, big bets harm the body. One chip is worth XX yuan, you can y with ease.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Listening to the numbers that the other side had just blurted out, Yu Yan felt as if he was sitting on needles as he becamepletely nervous. Yi Chen had seen him y QQ mahjong before, it was very¡­ It was very hard to forget his ying style. So when he held back some less valuable tiles for the third time, Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, ¡°Don¡¯t you just gather high-scoring hands and not bother withmon hands? You can beat them with just two more. Why do you not dare to do so now?¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± Because back then, he had been using game currency ah! The system sent him 9000 in game currency every day, and there were also additional bonuses to be collected during New Year¡¯s and other holidays, so even if he yed until he was losing money in the same way a heavenly maiden scatters blossoms everywhere, he wouldn¡¯t feel bad about it at all! ¡°Four hands, and Xiao Yan has won three of them, and you¡¯re still not satisfied?!¡± eximed Mo Nancheng. Yi Chenpletely ignored him. Yu Yan managed to grab a good tile at this time, which allowed him to make amon hand, and he was now ready to y all the big tiles that could be yed that he had been holding onto for several hands already. At this time, the person beside him suddenly got up and leaned over. Yu Yan felt a cool breeze pass by his ear. He didn¡¯t even have the chance to react when the tile in his hand was taken away by the person next to him, after which he took out another chip from his pile and threw it out to up the stakes. Yu Yan¡¯s whole body had stiffened, and he dared not move. In this position, the two of them were very close, and the distance between them was not much at all. Yi Chen¡¯s face was close to his face; so close that he could even hear his breathing, and his shoulder was nearly touching Yi Chen¡¯s chest. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s low-pitched voice hit him hard as it entered his eardrums and made him dizzy. ¡°Pretend that these chips are game currency, and y however you like. Get them to obediently hand over your first-meeting gift.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Omggg, how much more obvious can you get, Yi Chen? Also hahaha, Yi Chen buying all this seafood for Yanyan but not knowing how to actually eat it. Very cute dinner with Yanyan helping out (although guys, why are you using gloves??? Just use bare hands and then wash with lemon juice afterwards). xiin: poking at a scallop with chopsticks¡­ haha cute. Check out this NSFW fic written that is set right after this chapter here!

It¡¯s more condensed than the novel, but it¡¯s fun! And check out our fanart/fanfic page! Chapter 69 - Little Prince Chapter 69 - Little Prince Edited by xiin and Noks Mo Nancheng overheard these words, and asked, ¡°What first-meeting gift? Do you have to give first-meeting gifts whenever you make friends nowadays? If that¡¯s the case, Xiao Yan also has to give the three of us a gift ah.¡± ¡°He¡¯s the youngest, how do you even have the nerve to ask for something like this?¡± After Yi Chen finished saying that, he went back to his seat and told Yu Yan, ¡°He¡¯s just that stingy, you can only snatch your gift from his wallet.¡± ¡°I¡¯m stingy?¡± Mo Nancheng grew incensed, acting as if he had been humiliated. ¡°Let me tell you, out of all my ex-girlfriends down to my Meimei, none of them has ever said that I am stingy¡­ Xiao Yan, tomorrow you go and pick out a watch and send me the bill.¡± Yu Yan hurriedly shook his head. ¡°No need.¡± Yi Ran said, ¡°Ge, how about you buy one for me instead ba.¡± ¡°No, I don¡¯t have to give you a first-meeting gift.¡± ¡°My Ge is right, you really are stingy.¡± ¡°Buy then!¡± Mo Nancheng frowned. ¡°You go and choose! Just one ah!¡± Yi Ran replied, ¡°Okay!¡± Click¡ªas they spoke, Yu Yan pushed his tiles forward. ¡°Self-drawn win.¡± He¡¯d listened to Yi Chen¡¯s advice and had only aimed at making high-scoring tile sets. Although the total number of sets he made decreased, the amount of money he won increased instead of decreasing. During the second round, Yi Ran became the first to be unable to hold up any longer. He looked at his empty drawer and asked the person next to him, ¡°Xiao Yan, can I exchange some chips with you ba?¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°The chips belong to Yi Chen, ask him.¡± The waiter would exchange the chips for money at any time, even during an on-going game. It was obvious that Yi Ran had lost a lot and wanted to take some chips from his cousin instead of exchanging for some of his own. He knew he wouldn¡¯t get any from his cousin, so he had ced all his attention on thepletely harmless looking Xiao Yan. He didn¡¯t expect Xiao Yan to kick the matter right back to Yi Chen. ¡°Exchange for your own chips.¡± Sure enough, his cousin said this frostily, while even sparing a sneering nce towards him. Yi Ran: ¡°¡­¡± He felt so miserable at that moment, so much so that he couldn¡¯t even tell who his real bros were at the mahjong table. By midnight, Yu Yan had won an amount equivalent to his sry for the better part of the year and put his chips in the drawer. He felt very sessful. Yi Chen looked at the time and said, ¡°We won¡¯t y anymore.¡± ¡°No ah, it¡¯s still early?¡± Mo Nancheng said, ¡°y another round, Xiao Yan and I are chatting happily.¡± He didn¡¯t know if it was a tactic to distract him or something else, but for every two tiles that Yu Yan yed, Mo Nancheng would chat with him for a bit. All of his questions were about irrelevant things, he merely scratched the surface. ¡°He has to livestream tomorrow,¡± said Yi Chen. Yu Yan quickly expressed his opinion, ¡°It¡¯s fine¡­ how about you keep ying, and I¡¯ll take a taxi back? You don¡¯t have to send me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not ying.¡± Yi Chen asked, ¡°How much did you win?¡± Yu Yan opened the drawer, feeling very proud. Although he didn¡¯t say it, the expression written all over his face clearly implied that he was asking for credit. Yi Chen looked at it andughed. ¡°Take it, let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Okay ba, then Xiao Yan, I¡¯ll see you in a few days ah.¡± Mo Nanacheng said, ¡°I¡¯ll also be at the StarTV annual g.¡± Yi Ran stared at him, ¡°Cheng Ge, why can you go?!¡± ¡°I have an invitation.¡± Yi Ran was so envious that he turned around and called out, ¡°Ge¡ª¡± Yi Chen ignored him. The cellphone in his pocket had just started to ring, so he picked it up and gestured for Yu Yan to wait for him outside. Then he took the lead in leaving the room. Yu Yan quickly tidied up his spoils. ¡°Then we¡¯ll go first.¡± ¡°Wait, Xiao Yan!¡± Yi Ran grabbed at hisst straw. ¡°You¡¯re one of StarTV¡¯s big anchors¡­ Do you have any way of getting me into the g?¡± Mo Nancheng really felt that Yi Ran was pitiful. He was very obviously the cousin of StarTV¡¯s big boss, but he couldn¡¯t even get an invitation. Yu Yan hesitated for a moment. ¡°Do you really want to go?¡± As soon as Yi Ran heard this, he saw that he had a chance, so he nodded his head like a rattle drum. ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°I have one¡­¡± Yu Yan forcefully stopped himself frompleting this sentence and firmly turned it around. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go back and ask ba. If I can get an invite for you, I¡¯ll contact you about it on WeChat?¡± Yi Ran¡¯s facial expression showed that he was moved as he used his thumb and index finger to make a heart. By the time Yu Yan exited the room, Yi Chen had just hung up his call. He raised his chin. ¡°Go, trade in the chips.¡± Yu Yan exchanged the chips, got in the car, and handed the money he had gotten to Yi Chen. Yi Chen nced at it and said, ¡°Take it. This is my meeting gift to you.¡± Yu Yan shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t need a meeting gift.¡± With that, he opened the glovepartment in front of him and stuffed the bag full of money into it. Yi Chen didn¡¯t force him to ept it. He said, ¡°I will be leaving for a business trip tomorrow and will only return on the afternoon of the 1st. You can use whatever you like in the house, and call me if you need anything.¡± ¡°Tomorrow?¡± Yu Yan paused and then asked, ¡°Then won¡¯t it be inappropriate for me to be in your house by myself?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± The business trip had sprung up pretty suddenly, and Yi Chen¡¯s face showed that he was also a little unhappy. ¡°Livestream well. I¡¯ll take you to eat delicious food when Ie back, and¡­¡± He paused. ¡°Don¡¯t you like to climb mountains and visit temples? When Ie back, I¡¯ll take you to climb Wuqiu Mountain.¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± Why did he hear some other kind of emotion being implied within this sentence? He didn¡¯t think too deeply into it, instead nodding and saying ¡°okay¡±, then continued, ¡°Um, I have another thing.¡± Yi Chen let out a ¡°Hm?¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°The tform informed me that the winning anchor in the anchorpetition gets an extra invitation. It¡¯s all because of you that I could win a prize this time¡­ Are you free on the second? Are you interested in going to this g?¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows. ¡°Not inviting family members?¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°My uncle¡¯spany is just starting up, so he¡¯s very busy.¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows slightly this time. When ordinary people heard the words ¡°family members¡±, wouldn¡¯t their first thought usually be about their parents? He buried the doubts in his eyes and shook his head quietly. He would like to apany the little anchor, but since there were several partnerships to be announced by the Yi Group at the g, it wouldn¡¯t be appropriate if he wasn¡¯t present for them. ¡°You can invite your friend to apany you.¡± Yu Yan wasn¡¯t surprised at the rejection. The other party had been keeping quite busy recently, so he hadn¡¯t had much hope when he asked. Back at the hotel, he told Lu Xiuhe about the invitation, which finally soothed the other party from the quarrel with his little girlfriend. As for Yi Ran¡ªhe upied the third ce in Yu Yan¡¯s heart¡ªand now had been tragically removed from the scene. Yu Yan was helpless in this situation; the tform had only given him one extra invitation. If he could have, he would have even given his own invitation to Yi Ran. Then, he peacefully nested in Yi Chen¡¯s house and livestreamed. All the girls in the 1YanTang fan group thought that they would experience living in sweet honey for the next few days. All the group leaders had even negotiated to change the group name to ¡°Mama, I seem to have bumped into a real one¡±. What they didn¡¯t expect was for the next few days, 1 would actually disappear. Not only did he not appear in the video, but he didn¡¯t even show up in the stream or log into the game. [Day 3 of 1¡¯s disappearance, thinking of him thinking of him thinking of him.] Yu Yan saw this line in the barrage, skimmed the rest of it, and continued to immerse himself in the game. His situation was different from that of his stream followers. Although Yi Chen wasn¡¯t at home and didn¡¯te online to y games, they still managed to chat every day. Their chats were brief, but at the very least, they kept in touch. After finishing the stream, Yu Yan went to the kitchen, poured himself a ss of water to quench his thirst before he had to get ready to go back to the hotel. He looked around the house while drinking water. A few days ago, when Yi Chen was in the living room, he hadn¡¯t felt it, but now, when he stood by himself in the big living room, he suddenly felt¡­ a little lonely. A big empty space, sparkling clean furniture, and an elegantyout, but even then, it seemed to feel a bit cold. He was just thinking about this when his cellphone suddenly rang. Tuantuan: Xiao Yan, are you there? Thest time the two of them had chatted had been three days ago. During today¡¯s livestream, Tuantuan had asked him if he wanted to y a game together. Yu Yan had initially been worried about how to refuse, but hadter on just forgotten to reply to her message. The content in their chatbox also seemed to exude a little awkwardness at this time. Yu Yan hesitated for a moment, but in the end replied with a ¡°here.¡± Tuantuan: What time will you set out the day after tomorrow ya? Are all your clothes ready? Yu Yan: Don¡¯t know yet, what clothes? Tuantuan: Tuxedo ya. Yu Yan: ¡­ Tuantuan: ¡­It can¡¯t be that you didn¡¯t know? Haven¡¯t you seen the previous g? Yu Yan really hadn¡¯t seen it. Tuantuan: This event is actually quite formal. It¡¯s like an annual meeting for the tform, and it¡¯spletely livestreamed, so of course you need to dress a bit more formally. You¡¯re not nning on going there in casual clothes ba? Yu Yan: ¡­I see. I¡¯ll go rent one ba, thank you for reminding me. Silence reigned for a long time, to the point that Yu Yan thought the conversation had ended, before his cellphone started to vibrate again. Tuantuan: No need for thanks. Xiao Yan, have you been angry with me recently ah? A woman¡¯s sixth sense is very urate. Tuantuan had long noticed that Yu Yan¡¯s attitude towards her had changed, but out of a sense of self-respect, she hadn¡¯t said anything about it until now. But since she asked, she must make it clear. Tuantuan: Because of the trending topic in the search hotlist? Yu Yan: ¡­ Tuantuan: Okay ba, I admit, that matter was a bit nned. Although he had already had an inkling of this in his heart, getting actual confirmation of his suspicions didn¡¯t make Yu Yan feel especiallyfortable. He didn¡¯t know what to say and could only reply with a string of ellipsis. Tuantuan: But it wasn¡¯t really my idea, it was my team that bought and pushed it into bing a trending topic on the hotlist¡­ I have a team pushing me from behind. When I came to know about the trending topic, they had already bought the 18th ce on the search hotlist. I had no other way, I could only cooperate with them and go to the stream to find you. I wasn¡¯t honest or sincere about this, so you should be angry. Yu Yan: I understand. It¡¯s all over now, it¡¯s okay. Yu Yan wasn¡¯t being perfunctory, he really understood. But to understand is one thing, feeling unhappy is another. ¡°Maybe I have too little contact with people, to think that I had really made a good friend.¡± On the way home, Yu Yan couldn¡¯t help but call and tell Yi Chen this. Yi Chen slowly listened to him, and once he finished talking, he closed the file in his hand. He originally wanted to tell the little anchor that this was the way life was. However, the words that came out of his mouth had turned into, ¡°You¡¯re still young, and you will meet more people in the future, and you can always find good and sincere friends. Don¡¯t worry about this matter too much.¡± Yu Yan let out an ¡°en¡± and said, ¡°I have a very good friend now. Lu Xiuhe has always been very good to me.¡± Yi Chenughed. ¡°En.¡± ¡°And you.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°¡­You¡¯re the same as Lu Xiuhe, always treating me well.¡± Yi Chen should have been happy to hear this, but he wasn¡¯t. He didn¡¯t even notice that his smile had slowly disappeared. ¡°Then between Lu Xiuhe and I, which one is better?¡± As soon as he said this, Yi Chen was stunned at himself. Had he been infected by Yi Ran? How could he ask such childish questions? Internally, Yu Yan murmured to himself, ¡°How could that be the same ah.¡± After a short pause, he just squeezed out a littleugh and replied, ¡°Lu Xiuhe isn¡¯t here, so if you ask me in such a straightforward manner¡­ I¡¯ll definitely say you¡¯re better.¡± ¡ª Yu Yan had checked the videos of the previous g, and it was indeed as Tuantuan had said¡ªeveryone was in tuxedos. He had nearly been embarrassed. He and Lu Xiuhe set out for the mall the very next day. Each of them rented a tuxedo suit. They didn¡¯t pick them out themselves but rented the one rmended by the salesdy, the whole process went by very conveniently. On the 2nd, starting at 8 a.m., StarTV¡¯s official Weibo ount began to release the highlights of that night¡¯s g one by one¡ª The list of anchors participating in the g. New awards and gamepetition links. ¡­ For this year¡¯s national PUBGpetition, all the members of the CN7 PUBG branch, a popr domestic club, would sign a livestreaming contract with StarTV and would appear on the scene at the g. Zuo Zhen, the leader of pop idol group Pz, would also be present at the g. The stuff being released on Weibo in the beginning was alright, but soon after, the posts being published held news that no one paid attention to in the livestreaming circles. However, thetest two posts turned the tide. They caught the eyes of many e-sports fans and star-chasing girls. Before the livestream of the g started, those two pieces of news both became trending topics on the search hotlist. That very same afternoon, Yu Yan was dragged out of the room by Lu Xiuhe to go to the barber shop. ¡°I¡¯m fine, but you¡¯re the one who has to go on-stage to receive the award. You must look handsome to get fans!¡± Lu Xiuhe said as he pressed him into the chair. Yu Yan chuckled. ¡°I rely on my skills.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t both things go hand-in-hand?¡± He hadn¡¯t noticed before, but now, after being seated in front of arge mirror, Yu Yan noticed that his hair had indeed be a bit long. So he said, ¡°¡­Then cut it shorter ba.¡± The g was being held in arge banquet hall. The seats were arranged tidily under the stage, and the stage itself was veryrge. There were tenputers ced further into the stage, and had been divided into five on each side, and a huge disy screen hung at the top of the stage. ced around the banquet hall were essories from all the big games, and even the desserts had been designed with some gameponents in mind¡ª all in all, it really gave off the feel of being the venue for an e-sportspetition. This time¡¯s seating arrangements were very exquisite. In addition to cing the anchors who had won awards in the anchorpetition together, the rest of the regional anchors were also all seated next to each other, so as to facilitate interaction between the anchors. When Yu Yan sat down in his seat, there were still not many people seated at the table. A few people were scattered in the seats around the hall, and after greeting each other, they took out their cellphones and started ying games on them. It could be said that his table was the most awkward table in this hall. Yu Yan took out his cellphone and sent a message to Yi Chen. The return ne ticket that the tform had booked for him was for noon tomorrow, and he would have to go back to Manyang soon. Yi Chen had seemed very tired after returning from his business trip yesterday. He had entered his bedroom as soon as he came back, and hadn¡¯t woken up until the livestream was over. They hadn¡¯t managed to exchange many words before Yu Yan had to go back to the hotel. They didn¡¯t get to exchange a proper farewell, and he didn¡¯t know when they would be able to meet each other again. Being lost in such thoughts meant that he didn¡¯t have any interest in the g and just wanted it to be over quickly. Maybe then he could even invite Yi Chen out for some midnight snacks. He sent the message, but received no reply. He was browsing through Weibo when someone sat down beside him suddenly. ¡°Yan Xiao Yan?¡± An unfamiliar voice called out, carrying a hint ofughter in it. Yu Yan looked sideways. The man who was seated next to him had curved eyes and was looking at him with interest. The man turned around, looked at his seat¡¯s ce card, and said with augh, ¡°So your name is Yu Yan, it¡¯s a very nice name. Hello, I¡¯m Good Show.¡± Good Show¡ªStarTV¡¯s big anchor whose name was unknown to no one and a retired LoL yer¡ª the person who had just won the Best Anchor of the Year award. In fact, Yu Yan remembered Good Show from before he had retired, because the other party¡¯s name was very easy to remember¡ª¡ª Good Show, you really are good. Yu Yan reached out and shook hands with the other party. ¡°Hello, I¡¯ve heard a lot about you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m the one who has heard a lot about you. I¡¯ve always wanted to meet you, and fortunately we have an official director who understands matters and has arranged for us to sit together.¡± Good Show took out his cellphone and asked, ¡°Add each other as friends on WeChat?¡± Yu Yan opened the QR code scanner and said in a puzzled tone, ¡°¡­Wanted to meet me?¡± ¡°Yes ah.¡± Seeing that he didn¡¯t understand, Good Show winked at him, drew closer to him, and said in a low volume, ¡°That thing with banana.¡± Yu Yan suddenly defended himself, ¡°That had nothing to do with me, he was the one who vited the rules.¡± ¡°Right, right, whatever you say. Today is a good day, let¡¯s not talk about him, it¡¯s a mood killer.¡± Good Show looked him up and down andughed. ¡°You¡¯re the first anchor I¡¯ve seen who¡¯s more attractive in person than on the camera. This outfit suits you very well.¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°Thank you, you¡¯re also very handsome.¡± He wasn¡¯t simply ttering him or just going through the motions. Good Show really was handsome and had been called LPL¡®s face before he had retired. Although Good Show was popr, he didn¡¯t put on any airs. In addition, since the two of them had some things inmon, they soon started chatting. After chatting for half an hour, they discovered that the seats in the banquet hall had almost been filled when they turned around again. Good Show said, ¡°I secretly yed a few matches in PUBG recently and found that my TPS is really not good¡­ Could you carry me a bit, I am absolutely willing to work hard and conscientiously be your most loyalbat medic.¡± Yu Yan alsoughed as he replied, ¡°Alright, but you don¡¯t need to be abat medic.¡± ¡°You two!¡± A photographer and a female host suddenly appeared in front of them. The host held a microphone towards them and pointed to the camera with his eyes. ¡°Say hello to the audience?¡± When they saw the camera, they both sat up. Good Show asked, ¡°They¡¯ve already started the stream?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Okay, the camera Dage is working hard. Make us look more handsome ah.¡± In a very natural movement, Good Show stretched out a hand to pull on Yu Yan¡¯s shoulder and brought the two of them closer to each other. ¡°Hello everyone, I¡¯m Good Show. Next to me is yanxyan, the rookie PUBG anchor on our tform.¡± Yu Yan followed along and greeted, ¡°Hello, everyone.¡± ¡°Wee Good Show and yanxyan!¡± The female host asked with a smile, ¡°The two of you seem to have a good rtionship?¡± Good Show said, ¡°Really ba? In fact, we just met, can¡¯t you tell ba?¡± ¡­ As Yi Chen walked into the banquet hall, the person next to him was still chattering. Mo Nancheng said, ¡°I even rejected a beach party invitation toe here. I must get Tuantuan¡¯s contact information tonight!¡± Yi Chen was disinclined to listen to his words. He nced around the hall and immediately saw the person he was looking for. Yu Yan was wearing a ck suit today. A purple tie was hanging down the front, his hair seemed to have been cut short, and his eyebrows had been trimmed. He looked more fresh and elegant than he had ever before. He sat there quietly, with his back straight and chin slightly raised¡ª just like a noble and gentle little prince. At this moment, the little prince was being held by the person next to him, and they were very close. There was a camera in front of them, and they were both smiling. He didn¡¯t know what they were talking about. Yi Chen narrowed his eyes a little, and his unhappy mood, which had been caused by the traffic jam, became infinitely magnified at the moment. ¡°Eh? I¡¯ve discovered that your tform¡¯s female anchors are not all photo deception and filter deception tricksters ma.¡± Mo Nancheng didn¡¯t notice the direction his friend¡¯s eyes were staring at and said, ¡°I¡¯ve changed my mind¡ªit¡¯s fine if it¡¯s not Tuantuan today! Look at that one over there¡­ Hey, where are you going?¡± Yi Chen ignored him and walked on. Yu Yan felt relieved as soon as the camera moved away at the end of the interview. He wasn¡¯t really good at answering questions. He was preparing to pull away from Good Show¡¯s hold on his shoulder, when he suddenly felt his chin being covered in warmth. Yi Chen had taken a hold of his face, and was exerting a little force. Yu Yan reflexively raised his head in tune with Yi Chen¡¯s forceful tug at his chin, and his whole body followed the movement and was pulled out of Good Show¡¯s grasp¡ª¡ª These two people, one looking upwards and one looking downwards, locked gazes for a few seconds. Upon seeing his shocked expression, Yi Chen raised his eyebrows. ¡°Cut your hair?¡± ¡ª The author has something to say: Come on, you¡¯re not happy so you¡¯re touching my son! Beast! (I¡¯m helping you guys scold him) Stepping on Christmas¡¯ tail, and bringing the little prince along to wish you all a Merry Christmas. ¡ª Juurensha: Good Show seems alright but ahahahaha of course Boss Yi isn¡¯t happy. Still Yanyan should be excited to see Big Boss at the g, right??? (Poor Yi Ran, the only one not here at this feast) And our giant g chapter is next chapter! xiin: ¡­ those moves. *fans self* Noks: Boss Yi doesn¡¯t like it when someone pulls Yanyan¡¯s attention away from him¡­ and we¡¯ll see more of that in the uing g!

Chapter 70 - Because I like you Chapter 70 - Because I like you Edited by Noks and xiin Yu Yan was a bit confused. For a while, he didn¡¯t know whether he should answer his question or ask him how he came to be here. Good Show tugged at Yu Yan¡¯s suit jacket and asked, ¡°Your friend?¡± Yu Yan¡¯s chin was still in Yi Chen¡¯s hand. He nodded, and Yi Chen¡¯s hand shook a bit, as he confirmed, ¡°Yes¡­¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t expect to not only not get an answer, but for Yu Yan to start chatting with someone else on top of that. He curled his index finger, tracing the side of Yu Yan¡¯s cheek, then saw the person in charge of the g head towards him at a quick pace. His tone was light as he said, ¡°Get up,e with me.¡± Yu Yan stood up and said, ¡°Howe you¡¯re here?¡± ¡°President Yi.¡± The person in charge had reached them and bowed slightly from the waist as he said, ¡°Your seat is in the front.¡± Yu Yan looked in the direction the other party was pointing at. He didn¡¯t recognize the other people who were seated at that table, but one of them looked very striking. What made this person stand out was his headful of pale pink bleached hair and the mole under the corner of his eye. It was supposed to make for a charming look, but failed to do so because it was under a pair of sharp eyes. Lightly looking over this person, you could see that not only was he not feminine at all, but he also looked particrly attractive. Being able to dress in such style and still get a seat at the center table, Yu Yan could blindly guess that he was the leader of that idol group. That table was almost full, with only one seat left empty. It was positioned right in the middle of the hall, perfectly facing the stage. One nce at it was enough to tell you about the identity of its owner. At this time, Mo Nancheng had gone to look for his seat. On this asion, he didn¡¯t want to sit in the seat that would be the focus of most of the cameras, just to make sure that his ex-girlfriends wouldn¡¯t discover his whereabouts. He had mentioned this matter to Yi Chen in advance and had told him to seat him at a table with more female anchors, but Yi Chen had ignored him and had told the person in charge of the g to make whatever arrangements they wanted to. Yi Chen asked, ¡°Everyone is here?¡± Yu Yan returned to his senses as soon as he heard Yi Chen¡¯s voice. The person in charge then bowed again as he replied, ¡°All here, only missing you. Once you are seated at the table, we will immediately begin.¡± Yu Yan wasn¡¯t stupid. There weren¡¯t many people who could have the manager bow to them and sit at the central table on such an asion. Yi Chen looked down at Yu Yan¡¯s ¡°seat mate¡± and said, ¡°Arrange one more seat¡­¡± ¡°No need,¡± Yu Yan interrupted him reflexively. Sensing everyone¡¯s eyes on himself, heughed and said, ¡°¡­I¡¯ll just sit here.¡± Yi Chen was just about to say something when the person in charge braced himself and reminded him, ¡°President Yi, the time specified for the start of the livestream is nearly here.¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows, but after seeing that the person in front of him didn¡¯t have any intentions of leaving without him, he could only let out an ¡°en¡± and then lift his legs to walk away. Yu Yan sat back in his original seat. Good Show had noticed something odd, but didn¡¯t ask much about Yi Chen. ¡°Have you gone through the schedule?¡± Good Show asked, ¡°The awards are first, but don¡¯t be nervous. When you are called on-stage and get the trophy, just say whatever you like.¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t have the heart to start chatting again, but nodded to show that he had heard his words. Only after the background music started ying did Yu Yan drink from the ss of boiled water. The host walked onto the stage and introduced the guests of honor first. ¡°Finally, President Yi, the chairman of StarTV, has also arrived on the scene. Let¡¯s all apud and wee him¡ª¡± Sure enough. Yu Yan was holding his cellphone up to his face and subconsciously looked over the top of its screen. The man who wore a suit nodded expressionlessly. Yu Yan retrieved his gaze after taking only one look, but couldn¡¯t help drinking a lot more water after that. ¡­He was so embarrassed. Previously, because he had always been under the assumption that it wasn¡¯t easy for Yi Chen to earn money, he had tried to give half of the gift money back to him several times. Yet, in the end, it turned out that the tform had actually been the other person¡¯spany all along, and thus the other half of the gift money would have returned to his pocket anyway. Yu Yan thought of the notice that had appeared only once and then never again on the tform. Was that also because of Yi Chen? The poprity of his stream¡­ Even the right to participate in this award function, was it also because¡­ His cell phone violently vibrated, and he looked down at it. 1: Just saw your message, why didn¡¯t youe and sit over here? Yu Yan: Since I¡¯ll be going on-stageter, it¡¯s more convenient to sit here. Such a reason was barely eptable. 1: When it¡¯s over, let¡¯s leave together. The host announced Yu Yan¡¯s name just as he was about to type ¡°When?¡± in reply. Everyone seated at the table got up one after another and headed toward the stage. Yu Yan had originally wanted to be thest one on-stage, but with the other anchors standing back and letting people pass by them instead, he was ¡°sent¡± to the second ce, and stood just behind Good Show. The presenter of the awards was Yi Chen. As soon as the host finished introducing him, Yi Chen took the trophy from the staff member assisting with the distribution of the prizes and officially handed it to Good Show, who received it with a bow and then thanked him. Yi Chen replied, ¡°En.¡± Good Show: ¡°¡­.¡± When Yu Yan went on-stage to receive the award, he stood steady, took the trophy from Yi Chen, and thanked him. Who would have expected this person to just stand firmly in front of him even after having given him the trophy. Yu Yan froze, wondering if he had missed a step in the whole procedure. Only to see Yi Chen slightly spread open both his arms, and in his usual tone, say, ¡°Congrattions.¡± Yu Yan was about to verbally thank him when he was hugged by the other party. It was a very light and quick hug, and before he could even realize that he was being held, the other side had let go of him. The next anchor toe on-stage didn¡¯t even qualify for an extra nce, let alone a hug. After he got off the stage, Good Show clinked trophies with him and said with augh, ¡°Cheers.¡± Yu Yan alsoughed. ¡°¡­Cheers.¡± This scene was clearly witnessed by Yi Chen. Just now, when he had hugged him, Yu Yan had beenpletely expressionless, and he hadn¡¯t even thanked him at all. Who would have known that he would clink trophies with someone else as soon as he stepped down. The second event of the g was a casualpetition. What was interesting about thispetition was that the organizer had designed arge spinning wheel for it, simr to the lottery wheel. All the required elements of thepetition would be selected randomly. How random would it be? ¡ª¡ªThe anchors would be drawn at random, the teammates for each team would be chosen at random, and the game to be yed would also be random. The first draw was for the game, so as to determine how many anchors would need to be selected. The lottery wheel rotated for a long time, and finally stopped on a level 3 Helmet ¡ª the first game to be yed would be PUBG. Then came the selection for the yers for the games. The number wheel turned, and its first draw resulted in the selection of a¡­ Hearthstone anchor. The selected person¡¯s face showed a muddled expression. His mouth could be seen moving on the side screen as he said, ¡°Laozi can¡¯t y that ah, do you think I can go up and just dance for you guys?¡± Of course not. Yu Yan was still immersed in his thoughts of having failed to say something in reply to Yi Chen on the stage and couldn¡¯t pull himself out of it. Suddenly, he heard a loud sound emerge from the spinning wheel. He looked up to see¡ª No.018. No. 18 was Good Show. Good Show got up. ¡°Can I ask my friend to help me? He¡¯s very good at PUBG, I¡¯m not.¡± He crazily pointed at Yu Yan while saying this. Three secondster, his proposal was mercilessly rejected. Because the next number that jumped out of the wheel was¡ª 019. Yu Yan looked at the ce card in front of him and resigned himself to his fate as he stood up. It wasn¡¯t until all the randomly chosen anchors gathered on the stage that Yu Yan realised why people had been cheering so much just now. There were eight people on the stage¡ª And among them were Yu Yan, Good Show, and two professional yers from CN7. On top of that, the two CN7 pros had even been put into the same team, and the remaining two members of their team were both PUBG anchors. On the other hand, Yu Yan¡¯s side consisted of¡­ a Hearthstone host, a LoL retired yer, and a LoL anchor. Yu Yan looked at the prizes for the winner of this second event ced beside him and said farewell to them in his heart. PUBG wasn¡¯t a game where you could y a simple 4v4, but the organizers had taken that into consideration and had let them rest in their seats for a bit while a group of backstage staff logged into some ounts and queued for the match at the same time. Very soon, they handed over the ounts that had all entered the same match to the two teams for the game. The rules of the game were very simple. At the end of the match, whichever team ranked closest to first ce would be the winner. Fortunately, even though everyone said that they couldn¡¯t y, they did know how the basic operations worked. Yu Yan didn¡¯t have to teach them how to operate the keys. The most honest one on their team was Good Show. He had said he couldn¡¯t y, and he really couldn¡¯t y. ¡°Which is better, SCAR-L or Uzi? Which one should I pick up, Xiao Yan?¡± Good Show asked. Yu Yan replied, ¡°SCAR-L ba.¡± A few minutester, Good Show had nearly gotten himself killed. Fortunately, Yu Yan arrived in time to pull him up. With barely any health left, he hid himself behind a door, applied a first-aid kit, and discussed with Yu Yan, ¡°Xiao Yan, I¡¯m too pitiful. It¡¯s bad enough that I don¡¯t know how to y, but it¡¯s also really difficult to use the gun.¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°The SCAR-L is quite suitable for novices.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll pay you 100 yuan for your gun.¡± Good Show said, ¡°Will pay you right after we get off this stage.¡± Yu Yan choked. He looked at the names of the two CN7 teammates who were crazily filling up the upper right corner of the screen with their kill announcements. He then reasoned that since all of this was for entertainment, there was no need for him to be too serious, so he said, ¡°¡­No need, juste and take it ba.¡± The person in charge exined the preparations that had been made for tonight to Yi Chen with great dedication. It wasn¡¯t until the other party raised his eyebrows that he realized that the big boss was not listening to him at all, but was instead looking up at the big screen. He had yed alongside the little anchor a lot, so Yi Chen knew his temperament very well. Besides himself, Yu Yan never gave the gun in his hands to anyone else. But the little anchor stood there and threw his M416 onto the ground. The person next to him immediately picked it up, and the camera turned to Yu Yan and Good Show. Thetter said something and teased Yu Yan into lifting a corner of his mouth. As Yi Chen watched this happen, irritation brewed in his heart. He felt even more irritated right now than the time when he had found out that employees were being inattentive during a meeting. The person in charge of the g followed his gaze. ¡°President Yi, that anchor is called Good Show; he¡¯s the most popr anchor on our tform. You just awarded him a prize, so you should know¡­¡± Yi Chen interrupted him, ¡°Be quiet for a bit.¡± ¡°&#k2026;&#k2026;¡± The person in charge replied, ¡°Alright.¡± Fortunately, Yi Chen wasn¡¯t angry for a long time, because Good Show was soon killed by others, and Yu Yan¡¯s other two teammates soon followed. Everyone was amused by Good Show¡¯s aggrieved expression and felt that the match was over. Who knew that five minutester, then ten minutester¡­ The match was on-going even 20 minutester. yanxyan had 7 kills and had made it to the semi-final circle alone. If he had achieved this during his usual livestream, the viewers may not have been surprised, but this match was different. There were two professional yers from CN7 ying on the opposite side in this match. Yu Yan hid in a bathroom while the two CN7 yers appeared on his map. The audience held their breath as they stared at the big screen, with not a single person even picking up their chopsticks to reach for the delicious dishes on the table. The CN7 yers were experienced and very careful. Instead of crossing the map in a straight path, they circled around its edges and skilfully avoided Yu Yan¡¯s bathroom. Just as everyone in the audience was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Yu Yan moved¡ªfrom the corner he had been stuck in, he had managed to see the shadows of the two CN7 members. Although he had seen someone, he didn¡¯t know who it was, so he yed in a very casual manner. He left the bathroom at once, and it seemed that he was going to ambush the two CN7 members! At the instant the bathroom door was opened, it was discovered by a CN7 member. After revealing this matter to his partner, the two of them hid behind the hill as they also prepared to ambush Yu Yan. It was a very interesting scenario for the audience¡ª to watch the two sides test each other. After spending a few minutes in a standoff, the CN7 duo obviously became impatient, and for a moment, the team member who had reported the location of their usible enemy wasn¡¯t sure of whether or not anyone had really been there¡ª he only remembered that they seemed to have not opened the bathroom door, but he hadn¡¯t seen anyone again after that. So, in light of this, one of them carefully walked up the slope. The moment he showed his head, there were countless shots¡ªYu Yan had seized the opportunity to immediately fire ten bullets at the other side. That person was beaten down to a sliver of health and ran back down the hill. ¡°Shit, my head nearly exploded. That person¡¯s shooting is quite good ah.¡± He didn¡¯t know that the opposite party belonged to the team directlypeting with them. ¡°Xiao Yan,¡± Good Show said, ¡°In this game, the team with the highest ranking wins. So wouldn¡¯t it be better for you to hide?¡± Yu Yan shook his head. ¡°How is that fun to watch?¡± The organizers of such a kind of activity just wanted to see the moment when the two teams collided against each other. If he kept picking fights with people, he would eventually have to meet the two members of CN7. Watching him, Good Show now understood how this anchor could stand out in such a short time. The CN7 team finally made a move to break the continued standoff between the two sides. The poison circle was about to appear, and this wave of poison would be very painful. They couldn¡¯t afford to be hit by it, so they discussed that one person would shadow while the other ran away from the poison circle first. Yu Yan had the geographical advantage. His bathroom was just on the edge of the final circle, so he immediately leaned forward and shot the opponent as soon as he appeared while running uphill! At the same time, the person who was shadowing him shot back quickly, and the sound of gunfire echoed throughout the banquet hall. The audience finally saw a line of white words appear on Yu Yan¡¯s screen¡ª¡ª [You knocked down Hello999 with an M416] ¡°Fuck me, why couldn¡¯t you beat him?¡± asked the fallen man. The other man stopped fighting, and took advantage of the time that Yu Yan was taking to apply medicine to run into the circle. ¡°I really couldn¡¯t beat him, your entire body was in his line of sight. He was hiding behind the bathroom when he showed his head, how could I deal with¡­¡± ¡°Him showing his head makes it easier for you to deal with, you just had to hit him twice or thrice, and he¡¯d be dead.¡± ¡°He¡¯s not in the poison circle ah, he¡¯s losing health slower than you.¡± Bang¡ª¡ª While the two of them were discussing this, a heavy gunshot rang out. [MIMIHZPT eliminated you with an AWM] Yu Yan, who was applying medicine, was killed by an enemy who had been attracted to this location by the sound of the previous gun fight. Yu Yan took off his earphones. ¡°There wasn¡¯t anything I could do about it, the area behind me waspletely t and I couldn¡¯t hide.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, you were already very powerful.¡± Good Show said, ¡°In fact, I know a lot of PUBG anchors, but I only want to y with you.¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Why?¡± Good Show blinked at him. ¡°Because you¡¯re willing to give a 98K to your teammates. I admire people like you.¡± Yu Yan thought that Good Show may have misunderstood some things about him. ¡°Have you seen my livestream?¡± he asked doubtfully. ¡°No, but I¡¯ve seen clips of your stream.¡± ¡°???¡± Upon seeing an rmed expression on Yu Yan¡¯s face, Good Showughed loudly and patted him on the shoulder. ¡°You¡¯re really cute.¡± When he felt the cellphone in his pocket vibrate, Yu Yan took a look at the messages he had received¡ª 1: Come find me after getting off the stage. 1: Have something to talk to you about. After the second event had started, the guest anchors had already started to mingle about and no longer sat in their assigned seats. The whole ce was full of people who were standing and chatting with their friends. Yu Yan also saw that Tuantuan and Lulu weren¡¯t far away from the stage, and Mo Nancheng was standing right next to them. Yi Chen was also standing, but hadn¡¯t changed his position. He was still at the central table, where he was chatting with some of the men around him, but Yu Yan wasn¡¯t familiar with any of them. Their eyes met, and Yi Chen raised his head slightly, prompting Yu Yan towards him. His former boss had suddenly be his direct superior. Yu Yan had no career experience and didn¡¯t know how to face Yi Chen. All he could do was walk over and call out, ¡°President Yi, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Yi Chen originally carried an official smile while discussing matters with these men. When he heard this form of addresse from Yu Yan, he narrowed his eyes. Because of the presence of other people here, he decided to set aside this matter of his title forter. He raised his hand, pulled the person to his side, and introduced him to the people standing next to him, ¡°This is him.¡± The person right next to Yu Yan took the initiative and extended his hand in a greeting. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Li Fei, the team manager of CN7.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Yu Yan froze for a while before reaching his hand out. ¡°Hello, my name is Yu Yan.¡± ¡°President Yi, is this your Didi? You¡¯re all so handsome,¡± Li Fei asked. Yi Chen¡¯s eyes didn¡¯t show any change in expression at all as he tossed out an ¡°en.¡± When Yu Yan heard this, he felt his heart chill. He said, ¡°If nothing¡¯s the matter¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s like this,¡± Li Feidao said, ¡°Our team is recruiting young trainees right now, and we¡¯re looking for quality over quantity for this batch. By the beginning of next year, our team will undergo some personnel changes¡­ so we¡¯re preparing ahead of time for that. President Yi rmended you to me. I just saw you, and you do y really well. Once our twomandos got offstage, they both started praising you.¡± After Li Fei finished saying this, he took out his business card from his pocket and said, ¡°This is my business card, and so should we discuss thingster?¡± Even before this g took ce, Yi Chen had started to think that with the little anchor¡¯s qualifications, it was time for him to stand on the big stage and conquer all sides. In livestreaming, entertainment was more important than technique, and that was too limiting after all. This idea soon rooted itself in his heart, and since he had decided that he was going to pave the way for him, he would then pave the best path forward for him. CN7 had a lot of partnerships with the Yi Group, and the contract this time had been moreplicated, so Yi Chen hade out to deal with it in person. He had originally wanted to give the little anchor a surprise, but didn¡¯t expect for the three people to fall into a long silence after Li Fei finished saying his piece. Yi Chen looked sideways and after clearly seeing the expression on the face of the person next to him, felt stunned by it. Yu Yan was just standing there with slightly drooping eyes. After he had gotten his hair cut short, any and all expressions on his face couldn¡¯t be concealed. There was no joy, no happiness, and no surprise¡ªonly confusion, shock, and sadness. Sadness? Yi Chen frowned, raised his hand, and touched Yu Yan¡¯s shoulder, thus sensing his rigid posture. Realizing that something wasn¡¯t right, Yi Chen whispered, ¡°Xiao Yan?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Yu Yan suddenly looked up, with an obviously forced smile on his face. ¡°Thank you so much for the opportunity, but I don¡¯t n to y professionally¡­ I won¡¯t disturb you guys anymore.¡± He took a step to the right, dodged Yi Chen¡¯s palm, and quickly turned away. Li Fei didn¡¯t expect him to refuse. He was stunned and then looked at Yi Chen awkwardly. ¡°President Yi, this is?¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t answer, and instead turned to follow after Yu Yan. Suddenly, a female voice sounded out from behind him. ¡°It really is Yu Yan¡­ When he climbed on-stage, I felt that he was really familiar. I didn¡¯t expect him to have be an anchor.¡± Yi Chen turned back around and looked at the woman who was talking. ¡°Who are you?¡± The woman hadn¡¯t expected that herment had been heard even when she had spoken with such a low volume. She was stunned at first, but then quickly got up and introduced herself, ¡°Hello, President Yi, I¡¯m CN7¡¯s personal life assistant¡­¡± ¡°You know him?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The life assistant pursed her lips, not sure about whether or not she should say something, and finally whispered, ¡°I used to¡ª be on the same team as him.¡± ¡­ Yu Yan went to the bathroom as he struggled to breathe, and thoroughly washed his face once there. When he rose up again, he saw that the person in the mirror looked like a mess, and a little bit like he was at his wit¡¯s end. ¡­ He seemed to have left too frantically, and he didn¡¯t know if he had caused any trouble for Yi Chen by leaving in that manner. He knew that Yi Chen was just trying to help him. CN7 was the top-ranked PUBG team in China, and even their youth-training program wasn¡¯t that easy to get into. In order to livestream, he couldn¡¯t y ranked matches regrly and so didn¡¯t know which corner of the Asian rankings he fell into, but he was clear on the fact that he didn¡¯t meet CN7¡¯s entry requirements at all. After he had calmed down and was breathing normally once again, he took out his cellphone. Yu Yan: I¡¯m sorry, I was in a hurry to go to the bathroom. Is Manager Li angry? He didn¡¯t get a response. He sighed, put his phone back into his pocket, and was about to leave. There was a sudden movement in the stall behind him. Yu Yan looked around but only saw the closed stall-door again. Yu Yan stopped there, utterly surprised. ¡­ He seemed to have just seen two people inside the stall? And there seemed to have been a sh of pink as well?? The vibration of his cellphone snapped him out of his shock. Good Show: Where are you? Quicklye back. Yu Yan returned to his seat and couldn¡¯t help but nce at the central table, but he didn¡¯t see Yi Chen there. He was stunned and looked around the banquet hall instinctively. ¡°Are you looking for President Yi?¡± Noticing his gaze, Good Show said, ¡°He just left with a woman, looks like they went to the lounge ba.¡± Yu Yan froze, then looked away. ¡°¡­did he?¡± ¡°En, it looked very urgent.¡± Good Show lowered his voice and continued, ¡°That woman was sitting at the central table, and it doesn¡¯t look like she¡¯s a female anchor either¡­ Maybe she¡¯s President Yi¡¯s girlfriend.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Yu Yan looked at his WeChat chatbox, the one that hadn¡¯t received a reply. Emotions carrying vours of sourness and bitterness welled up inside him, which made him feel especially ufortable. It made sense, after all, he had just caused Yi Chen to lose face, so why would the other party still want to reply to him. Yi Chen had been so kind to him recently that he had be a littlecent. Who all had been sitting at the central table just now? Yu Yan tried to recall their faces for a long while but failed to remember any. At that time, all of his attention had been concentrated on Yi Chen, and he simply didn¡¯t have eyes for anything else. ¡°Good Show!¡± A man came up to their table with a cup. ¡°Congrattions ah. Remember when I said I was going to drink you under the table? You¡¯re not going to wuss out now ba?¡± ¡°Wuss out my ass.¡± Good Showughed. ¡°We already have alcohol here, start now?¡± ¡°Come on!¡± That person took a sidelong nce at Yu Yan and asked, ¡°This is the new friend you were talking about?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Good Show said, ¡°Xiao Yan, this is my friend, a LoL anchor, my defeated general¡­¡± ¡°You, how can you win and still mock after that?¡± That personughed and looked at Yu Yan. ¡°Meeting for the first time, let¡¯s have a drink, and we¡¯ll all be friends after.¡± Yu Yan returned to his senses and tossed his cellphone back into his pocket. Good Show said, ¡°You wait a bit. Xiao Yan, can you drink?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Yu Yan grabbed the bottle of red wine on the table, poured himself a small ss and then clinked sses with that man. ¡°Good meeting you for the first time.¡± ¡ª In the lounge, the life assistant¡¯s face was tense. The man in front of her wasn¡¯t very friendly, and she had to be very careful with each word she said. Yi Chen asked, ¡°The team he was in before, was it also a PUBG team?¡± ¡°No.¡± The assistant shook her head, ¡°¡­at that time, PUBG hadn¡¯t been released yet, and it was an FPS type game.¡± Yi Chen let out an ¡°en¡± and said, ¡°Go on.¡± ¡°At that time, although the domestic e-sports industry had be more formalized, it wasn¡¯t mature yet. Many yers were minors, especially in the case of games other than LoL and DOTA.¡± The assistant exined, ¡°When Xiao Yan came, he was also a minor, and he yed for the team for nearly a year, during which he won many championships and MVP. ¡°They were all smallpetitions. The prize money awarded was usually only a few thousand or even just a few hundred yuan, and there wasn¡¯t enough at all to split among the team members. After a whole year of ying in suchpetitions¡­ The team members didn¡¯t receive even a single yuan in terms of their wages. ¡°Everyone elseined, and quite a few people left, but Xiao Yan stayed the whole time. I asked him about it secretly, and he said he knew that the manager and them also had it hard, and he wasn¡¯t worried because there was a contract.¡± The assistant said, ¡°Until one time, when something seemed to have happened to Yu Yan¡¯s family and they urgently needed money.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s eyebrows twisted, and he couldn¡¯t help interrupting, ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know, I just heard that his rtives were seriously ill and needed to be hospitalized. He went to find the manager to get his sry¡­ How could the manager just give it to him? Yu Yan really couldn¡¯t do anything but take out his contract and ask the other party to fulfill it.¡± Speaking up to here, the assistant paused for a bit before she continued, ¡°¡­yet in the end, the contract was wed. I don¡¯t know the details, but in summary, it had no legal standing, and it was useless to sue the owner over it. In the end, it seemed that Yu Yan only managed to take 500 yuan as his earnings for a full year ah. Every night, he trained until midnight, ran east and west to take part inpetitions, ate instant noodles every day, but could only take away 500 yuan¡­ so he just left. ¡± She heard the man opposite her take a deep breath. ¡°And then?¡± ¡°After that, I¡¯m not clear on what happened, I didn¡¯t see him again.¡± The assistant hesitated, but then said, ¡°Although¡­ I heard from teammates, who were also in his school, that after something happened to his family, he stopped going to school.¡± Yi Chen unconsciously clenched his fist. How many days¡¯ worth of medical expenses could 500 yuan cover? He had been so young back then, where else could he have gone to raise money? Yi Chen only felt his heart being tightly squeezed by something, a sensation which made him feel extremely distressed. After a long time, he nodded and stood up. ¡°Thank you for your time.¡± ¡°¡­¡­No need for thanks.¡± The female assistant stood up in a hurry. Yi Chen turned and left. Just as he opened the door of the lounge, he stopped. When he turned around again, his eyes seemed to be full of shadowed anger, but it disappeared in a sh. The female assistant even doubted whether she had just been seeing things. But that was apparently not so, for the man¡¯s voice was cold enough to force one into an icehouse. ¡°Do you still remember the name or contact information of the owner of that club?¡± ¡ª Yu Yan had lost count of the number of times he clinked wine cups with someone. His eyes looked a bit vacant and he just stared at the red wine in his cup. Seeing this, Good Show asked, ¡°Xiao Yan, are you still okay ah, if you¡¯re not okay, don¡¯t drink anymore¡­Your face is red.¡± Yu Yan shook his head and said, ¡°I can still drink.¡± Saying that, he raised his cup and sipped it. The alcohol content in the wine served in the g was obviously lower than that of the alcohol sold in the bar fromst time. Although he was a little feverish, he was still awake. ¡°Yan Xiao Yan?¡± Hearing someone call him, Yu Yan looked back and saw that it was the person in charge of the g. The other party looked around, his expression embarrassed. ¡°Um, the signing ceremony between the tform and CN7 is about to start, but we can¡¯t find President Yi. He¡¯s also not answering his phone¡­ Do you know where he went?¡± ¡°In the lounge.¡± Good Show spoke before Yu Yan could. But just after he¡¯d said that, he lifted an eyebrow and pointed to the door of the banquet hall. ¡°Well, he¡¯s back.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s gaze followed in the direction being pointed at to look at the door, where he indeed saw Yi Chen. He was being apanied by a woman in a long pink dress. Most of her body was blocked from Yu Yan¡¯s view, and he could only see her long hair hanging behind her. They were even well-matched in height ah. Yu Yan thought this bitterly and had just looked away, but soon realized that Yi Chen had turned around and was walking up to them. The person in charge immediately went up to him. ¡°President Yi, the signing ceremony¡­¡± ¡°I know, I¡¯ll be there right away.¡± Yi Chen kept on walking until he finally stood in front of Yu Yan. He frowned, looked at the wine cup in Yu Yan¡¯s hand, and then noticed that his cheeks were red. ¡°Aren¡¯t you clear about your own alcohol tolerance?¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°¡­clear. I¡¯m not drunk.¡± Yi Chen still wanted to say something more, but when he saw that the person in charge looked like they were about to cry, he straightened his expression, grabbed Yu Yan¡¯s wine cup, and put it on the table. ¡°It¡¯s almost over. Wait for me here, I¡¯ll take you back.¡± In actuality, not only did Yu Yan not listen to him, but he didn¡¯t even wait for him after the g ended. After imbibing a few more sses of red wine, the person next to him leaned over and said, ¡°Xiao Yan, the g is almost over, so how about we slip away first ba? Recently, livestreaming has made my back ache. How about we all go get a ¡°happy ending¡±?¡± Good Show hit the other person a bit before scolding, ¡°Scram, don¡¯t corrupt little children.¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°What¡¯s a happy ending?¡± That man smiled widely as he replied, ¡°It¡¯s a massage.¡± Massage? Yu Yan wasn¡¯t really used to being touched by strangers, and he had never gotten a massage before, but he had experienced lower back pain recently. For any anchor who did this work for a while, waist problems became an inevitability. He was a bit embarrassed. ¡°After getting a massage, does your waist feel a bit morefortable?¡± ¡°Of course, and since Good Show has won the prize this time, he said he would treat us.¡± That person bumped Good Show on the shoulders a few times. ¡°Right ba?¡± Good Showughed and agreed, ¡°I¡¯ll treat, I¡¯ll treat, just a little money.¡± So the moment Yi Chen stepped down from the stage, he received a message. Little Anchor: No need to bother with sending me back, I¡¯m heading back first. After seeing the little anchor¡¯s empty seat, Yi Chen didn¡¯t even think before picking up his coat and leaving the banquet hall. He then directly called him. A long while passed before the other side picked up the call. Yu Yan asked, ¡°¡­What¡¯s the matter?¡± Hearing a shing noise on the other end, Yi Chen asked, ¡°Where are you?¡± ¡°I left first, didn¡¯t you see my message on WeChat?¡± ¡°With whom? Where to?¡± ¡°With other anchors.¡± Because he had drunk wine, Yu Yan¡¯s voice sounded a little low and he used the words he had just learned to reply, ¡°To go get a happy ending.¡± Yi Chen grew both angry and amused. He gritted his teeth and asked, ¡°Where are you?¡± Why was it this question again? Yu Yan was even starting to wonder if he was really drunk now. Yi Chen said, ¡°Speak.¡± ¡°In the parking lot, they¡¯re waiting for the valet.¡± ¡°You stay there and wait for me, you¡¯re not allowed to go with them.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°I¡¯m heading there now.¡± Yu Yan hung up the call just as the valet arrived. Good Show got into the car, and after seeing him still standing in the parking lot, he urged him, ¡°Xiao Yan, get in the car ya.¡± Yu Yan hesitated and said, ¡°¡­You guys go first ba.¡± ¡°Then what about you?¡± ¡°It seems that President Yi still needs me for something.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I¡¯ll catch a ride back with him then.¡± ¡°Is he not sending his girlfriend back?¡± Good Show asked, ¡°You¡¯re just apanying them to be a third wheelah?¡± Saying this was most definitely like spreading salt on Yu Yan¡¯s open wound. Third wheel? ¡­He didn¡¯t want to be a third wheel at all. Yu Yan had just ced his foot into the car when his waist was suddenly grasped. Before he could react, the person who had grabbed him by his waist picked him up and ced him steadily on the ground. Yi Chen¡¯s voice was very cold, and because he had been in a hurry, he was also gasping a bit as he rasped out, ¡°Is whatever I say just wind in your ears?¡± Good Show was stunned at his sudden appearance and said, ¡°President Yi, we just didn¡¯t want to bother you, we¡¯ll send him back ba. He¡¯s a little drunk, and he doesn¡¯t seem to be able to discuss matters.¡± Yi Chen gave him a nce that was neither light or hard, but it was full of warning. When another person sitting in the car saw him, they hurriedly dragged Good Show back. ¡°Since President Yi is here to send him back¡­ then Xiao Yan, we¡¯ll be going first ah! See you next time!¡± The car quickly drove far away. Yu Yan stood in ce, only feeling that everything that had just happened was quite inexplicable. But now that it was over, he had to ask in a depressed voice, ¡°Why did youe find me?¡± Yi Chen grabbed his hand and took him to the lounge. A ss of water was handed to him. ¡°Drink this.¡± Yu Yan took it and drank a bit of it. Yi Chen¡¯s brow finally rxed. He asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you wait for me?¡± Yu Yan¡¯s eyes fluttered, and he said, ¡°Didn¡¯t want to trouble you.¡± ¡°Tell me the truth,¡± said Yi Chen. ¡°¡­¡­¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I¡¯m not that indelicate, and I didn¡¯t want to be a third wheel.¡± ¡°Whose third wheel?¡± Yi Chen asked. ¡°You and your girlfriend¡¯s.¡± Yi Chen said nothing for a while. ¡°Who is my girlfriend? Why don¡¯t I know about this?¡± Yu Yan paused and said, ¡°The one who was just beside you.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not my girlfriend.¡± ¡°Then it¡¯s a girl you just took an interest in?¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Yi Chen looked at him and suddenly asked, ¡°Are you jealous?¡± Yu Yan was startled and shook his head very hard. ¡°I¡¯m not! What am I jealous about¡­ How could I be jealous, don¡¯t speak nonsense.¡± Yi Chen looked at his stance and thought it was funny. He was just about to say something when a cell phone suddenly rang. Yu Yan took out his cellphone and picked the call up. ¡°Hello¡­ Good Show? I¡¯m fine. En, I¡¯m still here. No need, no need toe back to pick me up¡­ It¡¯s really alright. Tomorrow ma? Come to the hotel to find me? Alright ah, my hotel is called¡­¡± Yu Yan felt his hand be empty just as he was about to convey the name of the hotel he was staying in. His cellphone had been stolen from him. Yi Chen¡¯s face was expressionless as he hung up. Yu Yan was stunned and reached out to get it back. ¡°What are you¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, the face of the person in front of him suddenly magnified infinitely. Before Yu Yan could react, he was pushed back, and his back was pressed against the lounge wall, which was immediately followed by the sensation of heat on his lips. Yi Chen had suddenly leaned down and had enfolded him in a kiss. His kiss was very strong, with his lips constantly rubbing against Yu Yan¡¯s lips. Although he wasn¡¯t proficient with his technique, he was particrly hard to get away from, as he kept repeatedly biting and sucking at him. Yu Yan even felt that his heart had stopped beating. The smell of Gi cologne surrounded him tightly, and all the alcohol he had consumed rushed to his head at this moment¡ª¡ª Only when Yu Yan felt that he was about to suffocate was he finally let go. His whole body was red; his cheeks, eyes, and even his lips were red as hell. His eyes had widened, his whole face was filled with disbelief. He opened his mouth, but couldn¡¯t say anything for a long time. Just as Yi Chen was thinking that Yu Yan had been scared silly, he heard him say¡ª ¡°I¡¯m not drunk ba?¡± ¡°No,¡± said Yi Chen. Yu Yan let out an ¡°oh¡± before saying, ¡°¡­I¡¯m not asleep either?¡± ¡°No.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°You¡¯re very much awake.¡± Yu Yan heard his heartbeat, which was banging in his ears. ¡°Then you kissed me?¡± ¡°En, I kissed you.¡± ¡°¡­¡­Why? ¡± The man¡¯s voice was low and deep as he said very firmly, ¡°Because I like you.¡± He couldn¡¯t bear to see him wronged, couldn¡¯t bear to see him sad, couldn¡¯t bear to see him treat others well, and itched to gather all the good things in the world in both of his hands and offer them up to him. Always thinking of him when he was on a business trip, and as soon as he had time, video-calling him. Upon hearing that he had been bullied, his chest had hurt with anger. Upon seeing that he wanted to leave with others, he had wanted to tie him up at home, just to prevent him from going anywhere. If this wasn¡¯t ¡°like¡±, then what was ¡°like¡±? Yu Yan was stunned. However, before he could bask in happiness, he suddenly thought of something, and his eyelids abruptly became droopy. ¡°Did you also drink?¡± Yi Chen frowned. ¡°I didn¡¯t drink.¡± ¡°But didn¡¯t you say that I¡¯m your Didi?¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Yu Yan reminded him, ¡°You said so in front of Manager Li.¡± Yi Chen smiled softly and suddenly said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have taken you to see Li Fei.¡± He raised his hand to cover the back of Yu Yan¡¯s neck, and rubbed it twice, as if he was cating him. These two rubs were too gentle, and Yu Yan felt that his legs were almost unable to hold his weight anymore. ¡°Said you were my Didi¡­ Because I couldn¡¯t think of a rtionship closer than friendship but this.¡± Yi Chen repeated, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± The man¡¯s voice seemed to contain some kind of magic that caused Yu Yan to be dizzy, made his face flushed, and made his heart race. He opened his mouth, but was unable to form words for a long time, eventually answering in a shriveled voice, ¡°En¡­¡± He stared at Yi Chen¡¯s lips; they looked thin and a bit red right now. Kissing was something he hadn¡¯t even dared to dream of in his dreams. So it felt this good? Yu Yan stared and stared, and couldn¡¯t help licking his lips and swallowing. Wine fills the heart with courage, and allows people to do whatever they thought they should do. He silently counted for three seconds in his mind, then closed his eyes, and leaned forward for a kiss¡ª The two of them had the same idea, and ended up hitting each other halfway. ¡°Hiss¡­¡± Yu Yan was hurt a bit by the sudden collision. Yi Chen¡¯s cheeks were dusted scarlet, but after seeing this, heughed. He raised his hand, first rubbing Yu Yan¡¯s mouth with his thumb, and then negotiating, ¡°I¡¯ll do it.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s face was red enough that it would start dripping blood soon as he replied, ¡°¡­okay.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: EEEEEEEEEEE THEY KISSED! And they¡¯re so cuuuuute hahahaha, mming into each other. So many things to talk about with this chapter! First off, poor baby Yanyan! Fuck up thatpany, Yi Chen! Next, I think Good Show means well, even though the whole thing with the ¡°massage¡± is pretty shady. And it makes sense that he¡¯d assume the girl was Yi Chen¡¯s gf, but gdi, that caused a lot of drama. Yi Chen¡¯s a bit possessive, but I think having imed his little anchor, he¡¯ll calm down a bit. And Yanyan is too cute as always, not even daring to dream of kissing! And I do appreciate Yi Chen going for it as soon as he finally figured out his own feelings (even if it took 70 chapters, gdi Yi Chen, you nearly took as long as Huanhuan). Noks: We got a bit of everything in this beast of a chapter!

Chapter 71 - Slow to understand. Edited by xiin and Noks The second kiss lingered much longer. The alcohol that Yu Yan had consumed had already gone to his head a bit, and although he was mostly sober, his entire mind felt as if it was on fire. The lounge was very big, but the space he was in was very narrow. He was in a trance,pletely absorbed in going along with the other person¡¯s actions. When he finally couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, he raised his hand and patted Yi Chen on the shoulder, panting, ¡°I don¡¯t have any experience¡­ Let me catch my breath before continuing.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have any either,¡± said Yi Chen. Yu Yan looked at him, and owing to both the alcohol and loss of breath, a few physiological tears appeared at the bottom of his eyes, as they both grew wide. ¡°How can you not have any experience?¡± Yi Chen found it funny. ¡°Why can¡¯t I not have any? Why can¡¯t you get any air? What about your nose?¡± Yu Yan said honestly, ¡°I¡¯m nervous, so my nose has no way to get air¡­¡± Yi Chen looked at him and suddenly changed his words. ¡°I spoke wrongly just now, you¡¯re probably a little drunk.¡± Yu Yan was at a loss. ¡°¡­.Ah?¡± Yi Chen stifled augh and rubbed his head. If he wasn¡¯t drunk, how could he be ten thousand times more candid than usual? ¡°Let¡¯s go first.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Someone will being in soon to tidy up.¡± When they got into the car, Yu Yan felt that it was way too hot. As soon as the car started, he rolled the window down. As a result, within a few minutes of a cold wind blowing at him, the better half of his drunkenness had vanished. Everything immediately became crystal clear in his mind¡ª¡ª He had just been kissed by Yi Chen in the lounge. ¡­Twice. Yu Yan suddenly felt thirsty and asked, ¡°Is there any water in the car?¡± He¡¯d just asked, and immediately, the person in the driver¡¯s seat closed his window. Then, a bottle of mineral water was handed over to him. It had been drunk from before, and only half of it was filled with water. Yu Yan hurriedly epted it, and because he was in such a hurry, their fingers brushed each other. At the red light, Yi Chen stopped, looked sideways, and asked, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you drinking?¡± Yu Yan, who was holding the water bottle in his hands, felt stunned when he heard this question. He wasn¡¯t quite willing to drink. He still remembered that when he had just been kissed, Yi Chen had even¡­ stretched his tongue inside his mouth a bit. ¡°¡­¡­not thirsty anymore.¡± Yi Chen looked at him and suddenlyughed. ¡°You have had the wind blowing in your face for so long, but your face has gotten even redder. What are you thinking about?¡± ¡°¡­¡­ Thinking about,¡± Yu Yan turned his head and looked at him before asking, ¡°Why ah?¡± ¡°En?¡± ¡°Why all of a sudden¡­ did you start to like me?¡± Yi Chen liked him. To him, this was like a big pie that fell from the sky, smashed into him, and made his head dizzy and his eyes swirl. What was good about him? He was pretty strong in ying games&#k2026; was there anything else? He didn¡¯t have any educational background, didn¡¯t have any life experience, and he seemed to have no advantages other than gaming. In front of Yi Chen, he must look like a child who had seen little of the world. Since his brief bout of drunkenness had now dissipated, and he was sober, he felt both very happy and also very worried. The red light turned green, but Yi Chen had sensed his mood, so he looked away before stopping the car at the side of the road. ¡°Just now, I asked you in the lounge if you were jealous.¡± Yu Yan nodded. In fact, he had already almostpletely forgotten everything they had said in the lounge. All he remembered were the two kisses and the word ¡®like¡¯. ¡°I don¡¯t know if you were jealous.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s tone was light. ¡°I was, though.¡± Yu Yan froze. ¡°What?¡± ¡°That anchor from just now.¡± Yi Chen leisurely grabbed his hand and pinched his thumb a bit. ¡°You gave him the gun, and toasted him after getting off the stage¡­ and you were going to go get a happy ending with him?¡± Somehow, Yu Yan felt that thest few words were bitten off harshly. Yu Yan let him pinch him, even though it tickled a bit, and exined, ¡°They said it was good for the waist, so I agreed to go.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not only him.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°There was also that previous trending topic, ¡®Suspected Love Affair Exposed¡¯?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°And climbing a mountain with her, going to ask for blessings.¡± ¡°I went to ask for blessings for you.¡± ¡°You still can¡¯t go out with unfamiliar online friends for something like that.¡± Yu Yan thought that he and Tuantuan had be quite familiar to each other by that time. Of course, he just thought it, and didn¡¯t dare to say it. Not being aware of it had been fine, but after tallying it up like this, and turning all ounts over, Yi Chen felt himself bing solidly angry again for a bit. He took a deep breath and said, ¡°So it¡¯s not all of a sudden. I¡¯m justparatively¡­¡± Yu Yan nodded. ¡°Comparatively?¡± ¡°Comparatively¡­¡± It was hard to admit. Over the years, Yi Chen had never had to put any negativebels on himself. After a while, he finally said calmly, ¡°Slow to understand.¡± After saying that, he looked at the person next to him and found that Yu Yan was just staring at him, without saying a word in reply. Heughed. ¡°Do you understand?¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°¡­Yes.¡± The car restarted. The venue for the g was very close to the hotel, and Yu Yan felt that they were already almost there before he had even gotten the chance to figure things out. He got out of the car, heard Yi Chen say goodbye to him, then blurted out, ¡°Do you want toe up and sit for a bit?¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and didn¡¯t answer. Just when Yu Yan thought he hadn¡¯t heard his invitation clearly, Yi Chen said slowly, ¡°That¡¯s too fast.¡± ? Yu Yan was stunned, and he only managed to react a long timeter. ¡°No, no, no, not that, I didn¡¯t mean that¡­¡± He felt like he was going crazy. His train of thought would go flying up to the skies whenever this guy said whatever he wanted to. ¡°I meant, to have a cup of tea¡­ or something. If you don¡¯t have time, then that¡¯s fine.¡± Yi Chen had just wanted to say something when Yu Yan suddenly stepped forward, put his head in the window, and lowered his voice. ¡°And also, I haven¡¯t told you yet.¡± His ears were red, and because it was cold, his breath puffed out a visible white cloud in the air. ¡°¡­¡­I like you too.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± The car behind him had been waiting for a long time and impatiently honked its horn twice. Yu Yan quickly stepped back and waved at him. ¡°Drive carefully.¡± As Yi Chen¡¯s eyes darkened, he said, ¡°Come here.¡± Yu Yan was stunned and went over to the driver¡¯s side. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Yi Chen leaned forward and kissed him. ¡ª Yu Yan returned to his room, and his whole person was dizzy; his heart was still thumping, and he was even more nervous than when he yed in the final rounds of matches before. Thissted till he saw the suitcase lying on the ground¡­ He was shocked and felt that he had forgotten something. He was startled out of his thoughts and quickly took out his cell phone to dial a number. The call rang for 50 seconds before it was picked up. ¡°Xiao Yan.¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s voice sounded very nervous. ¡°What¡¯s up ah?¡± ¡°I¡¯m already at the hotel.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­ I drank too much and forgot about you. Where are you?¡± There was a rush of scrabbling soundsing from the other end. After a while, he heard Lu Xiuhe say, ¡°¡­I also drank too much and have already left.¡± The two of them were silent for a moment. Yu Yan had just wanted to say something when he heard an unfamiliar male voice sound out from the other side. The male voice first sneered, ¡°Who? The phone number you just got?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s voice seemed to sound as if he was about to cry. ¡°Even if it was, it has nothing to do with you ah! Hey, wait, wait a minute, I¡¯m on the phone¡­ Xiao Yan, I still have something to do here.¡± Yu Yan felt that something was wrong and asked, ¡°Where are you? Is there someone next to you? Are you okay?¡± ¡°Not okay¡­ okay, I¡¯m okay. I have a friend next to me.¡± Lu Xiuhe was more outgoing and had many friends. Yu Yan believed most of what he had said and asked, ¡°Then, when will youe back?¡± That male voice rang out again, ¡°He¡¯s not going back.¡± ¡°Stop talking randomly! Now, I¡¯ming back now.¡± Lu Xiuhe continued, ¡°I have something else to do here, I¡¯ll tell you about it when I get back.¡± The other party hung up the phone in a hurry. Yu Yan stared at the cellphone and kept feeling that something was strange. But Lu Xiuhe was a fully grown man after all, so he wasn¡¯t particrly worried. He calcted the time and concluded that Yi Chen shouldn¡¯t have reached his own house yet. Yu Yan sat on the sofa and opened up Weibo. Since he normally received a lot ofments and @¡¯s, he had turned his Weibo notifications off. When he opened it this time, he discovered that he actually had 999 notifications. He thought it was because the tform¡¯s official Weibo kept @ing him during the livestream, and all these additional notifications must havee up because people online kept forwarding those posts, but he didn¡¯t expect that when he clicked to take a look at the notifications¡ª¡ª [2019 All the CPs I¡¯m a fan of are married: Today, I saw some friends talking about the annual g in the group chat, and I clicked to watch it because I was bored.

Yu Yan picked it up. ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°Xiao Yan, are you home?¡± It was actually Good Show. ¡°Just arrived at the hotel, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Nothing, then that¡¯s good.¡± Good Showughed and said, ¡°I thought President Yi didn¡¯t look too happy, and was afraid that he would cause trouble for you.¡± ¡°He didn¡¯t cause any trouble for me.¡± Yu Yan frowned and said, ¡°He¡¯s a very good person.¡± Good Show nodded. ¡°Is that so, that¡¯s good¡­¡± When the doorbell rang, Yu Yan stood up and looked through the peephole.

Edited by xiin and Noks Yu Yan turned aside and said, ¡°Come in first ba.¡± Lu Xiuhe entered the room, opened a bottle of mineral water, and guzzled it down in one big gulp. Yu Yan asked, ¡°What happened to your previous coat?¡± Their clothes had been rented. They would have to pay if the clothes were damaged in any way or lost. It wasn¡¯t that they couldn¡¯t afford it, but there was no need to waste that kind of money. ¡°¡­¡­Fuck.¡± Lu Xiuhe thumped his chest and stamped his feet. ¡°I forgot to get it back.¡± ¡°Where is it?¡± It was in that fucking liar¡¯s car! The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, but he couldn¡¯t vent his anger onto Yu Yan, so he removed the coat on his shoulders with a swish and viciously threw it on the ground. The logo on the cor of the coat was exposed. Lu Xiuhe took a casual look at it. Fuck, it was even from a fucking big name brand. So he tly let the coat lie on the ground for two minutes before picking it up again in silence. Yu Yan observed Lu Xiuhe¡¯s current attitude and realized that it didn¡¯t seem like he had met with a friend at all; it was much more like he hade back after having fought an enemy. His cellphone dinged, and it was a push notification from an app with a reminder of tomorrow¡¯s flight. Only after seeing this notification did he also remember that he would have to go back tomorrow. ¡°Xiao Yan, I feel like I¡¯m really too stupid.¡± Lu Xiuhe had calmed down a bit in thest five minutes. But it turned out that this calming down was just a joke. He was probably going to have to slowly recover from the shock he had suffered throughout the second half of his life. Yu Yan had been just about to send a message to Yi Chen. However, after seeing that Lu Xiuhe was in a bit of a better mood, he could only send an emoticon across first, and then ask, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? By the way¡­ I¡¯m flying back tomorrow morning, do you want to go back together?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Lu Xiuhe fell onto the sofa with an expression of lovelessness on his face. ¡°I will nevere back to Jincheng for the rest of my life; I can¡¯t stay in this city full of lies for another moment. Xiao Yan, how about you change your flight ba. We¡¯ll leave tonight, and go far, far away.¡± Yu Yan refused very quickly, ¡°I won¡¯t.¡± Lu Xiuhe replied, ¡°Fine ba¡­ I was just casually saying that. I¡¯m also not willing to spend money to change the flight.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s face was full of doubts. ¡°But didn¡¯t youe here just to see your girlfriend? You haven¡¯t even seen her, and you¡¯re going back?¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s face now carried a wooden expression. ¡°I saw them.¡± ¡°?¡± That was when Yu Yan just remembered that as Lu Xiuhe had entered the room, he seemed to have been ranting something about online dating. ¡°When did you see them?¡± ¡°Just now.¡± ¡°¡­that friend you talked about, that was actually them?¡± ¡°En.¡± Seeing Lu Xiuhe¡¯s face go deathly still, Yu Yan hesitated for a moment before asking, ¡°She didn¡¯t look the way you imagined?¡± How should he answer that? After thinking for a long time, Lu Xiuhe said sincerely, ¡°No, they looked¡­ beyond my imagination.¡± Face-to-face meetings were a hurdle; only a few couples managed to cross such a hurdle, and it wasmon for rtionships to die the moment they were exposed to the light of day. However, judging from how Lu Xiuhe said this, it seemed that he was obviously satisfied with the appearance of this woman. With the kind of personalities they had, they should have already gotten used to interacting with each other normally. It wasn¡¯t likely that they would have started quarreling during their very first meeting. Yu Yan didn¡¯t understand. ¡°Then, isn¡¯t that good?¡± ¡°The problem is¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s expression wasplicated as he spoke, ¡°Is¡­¡± If the average person heard him talk this way, they would probably be terribly nervous about the words that were toe next. However, at this time, Yu Yan¡¯s cell phone lit up. 1: Just arrived, Little Fool has been sent back home. Yu Yan sat to the side with his cellphone in his hand while listening to Lu Xiuhe struggle with ¡°Is¡± for a long time. Yu Yan: Then, when you¡¯re at work, who takes care of it? 1: The auntie will feed it. ¡°Is¡­is¡­is that he¡¯s a fucking man.¡± Yu Yan was tapping on the keyboard, so absently said, ¡°Oh.¡± For a while, he kept typing on his cellphone¡¯s keyboard. Then his head swished up¡ª¡ª Lu Xiuhe had on an expression of having eaten X, and seemed to have given up all hope as he repeated, ¡°Yes, he¡¯s a fucking man! Fuck me, he¡¯s even taller than Laozi, wearspletely girly clothes, and his voice is so harsh it makes people¡¯s hair stand on end! It¡¯s no wonder that he didn¡¯t want to use a voice transformer to go through the motions with me, I dare say that even a voice transformer wouldn¡¯t be able to save him! Just this-just this stupid coat is even bigger than my coat, it¡¯s ufortable no matter how I wear it, ahhhhhhh!!!¡± By the time he finished talking, he was so angry that he¡¯d picked up the innocent coat and hammered it against the sofa several times. Yu Yan was shocked: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m never going to do online dating for the rest of my life, setting aside all of this, online dating can go to fucking hell.¡± The more Lu Xiuhe talked, the more indignant and sad he became. By the end of his tirade, he began to sing, ¡°Oh, who can fucking guess if QQ love is real or fake?¡± Yu Yan wanted tofort him, but this situation was too thorny. He had a question. ¡°¡­then how did you meet him?¡± If Lu Xiuhe¡¯s online partner was really a man, then naturally he would have never taken the initiative to ask for a meeting. And both of them had just been at the g, where he had seen Lu Xiuhe sitting in his seat with his own eyes. Speaking of this, Lu Xiuhe¡¯s old face suddenly turned red. He faltered for a long time before he said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you see all of it?¡± Yu Yan was confused. ¡°What did I see?¡± ¡°In the bathr¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe paused. ¡°You didn¡¯t see anything?¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°No.¡± Thinking of the other party¡¯s identity, Lu Xiuhe decided that it was probably not suitable to make a big fuss and let everyone know about it. In fact, the moment he had discovered the truth, he had earnestly wished to run to a mediapany with a big loudspeaker to urge them to go downstairs and work overtime. That way, he would force the dog to make the headlines tomorrow, and then they could all just die together. But after that moment of anger had passed, he couldn¡¯t quite bear to do so. ¡±Just, anyway, that¡¯s how I saw him.¡± Lu Xiuhe was done making a fuss, and his whole person wilted. ¡°No way, I thought of him as a wife, and he actually wants to act gay with me? I¡¯m finished, I don¡¯t even want to date for the rest of my life. I¡¯m in my twenties, and I¡¯m already so tired.¡± Yu Yanforted him. ¡°It¡¯s okay, if men won¡¯t do, then that means that you like women ah.¡± ¡°Right.¡± Lu Xiuhe picked up his cellphone. ¡°What you said is very reasonable. I got several WeChat ounts from female anchors earlier, I¡¯ll go chat and bond with them a bit.¡± ? Yu Yan asked, ¡°You have an online partner, and you still went to ask female anchors for their WeChat?¡± ¡°That was different, I didn¡¯t want their WeChats to get in touch with them or anything.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°I just wanted to show off to those little bastards in the Inte cafeter¡­ Xiao Yan, do you want any? I¡¯ll give you two?¡± Yu Yan shook his head. ¡°No.¡± ¡°Oh, I forgot. Aren¡¯t you also dating someone online?¡± ¡­you still remember something like that from such a long time ago. Yu Yan was about to speak when Lu Xiuhe put on an expression that made him look like an experienced person. ¡°Online dating has risks, so caution is required. Xiao Yan, I¡¯m not deliberately targeting you, but look at me, I¡¯m the very lesson of its bloody oue. Have you ever spoken to her?¡± Yu Yan thought about it and said, ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°That¡¯s also of no use, there are so many loli voice transformers now.¡± Lu Xiuhe asked again, ¡°You haven¡¯t had a video call ba?¡± ¡°We¡¯ve had.¡± ¡°Are you sure it wasn¡¯t someone that they just found to rece themselves instead?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Lu Xiuhe set aside his preaching expression, and his eyes filled with envy instead. After a while, he sincerely expressed his emotions, ¡°¡­that¡¯s great.¡± ¡ª When Yi Chen returned home, he found that the lights in the interior of the house were all lit up and a ck car was parked outside. He parked and got out, and the window on the driver¡¯s side of the other parked car rolled down. The driver waiting in the driver¡¯s seat said to him, ¡°Mr. Yi, you¡¯re back, hurry in ba. Mrs. Yi has been waiting for you for a long time.¡± Yi Chen let out an ¡°en¡± and said, ¡°Thanks.¡± When he entered the house, Mother Yi was sitting on the sofa ying with the cat. ¡°You¡¯re back.¡± Mother Yi put the cat down and quickly stepped forward with a slight frown. ¡°Didn¡¯t I say that even though your injury has just healed up, you shouldn¡¯t rush back to work like this? Thepany won¡¯t copse if you¡¯re not there for a few months.¡± ¡°It¡¯s the end of the year, I can¡¯t not be there.¡± Yi Chen picked up the cat and petted it twice. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°I came to see you and cooked some soup for you¡­¡± After Mother Yi finished saying this, she realized that something was off. Her always-serious-in-speech-and-manner son looked a lot warmer tonight, and his eyes even carried traces of tenderness that he hadn¡¯t been able to hide away yet. She asked in surprise, ¡°What happened, what good thing happened?¡± Yi Chen, holding the cat in one hand and taking out his cellphone with the other, didn¡¯t deny it. ¡°Something good did happen.¡± ¡°Tell mom about it?¡± Seeing a string of ¡°Ahhhhhh¡± and ¡°I¡¯ll tell youter¡± from the other side, Yi Chenughed and put the cat back on the sofa. ¡°Not yet. Where¡¯s the soup?¡± Mother Yi was immediately diverted from the most important point. She went into the kitchen and brought out a bowl of hot soup. ¡°I was afraid it would go cold, so I put it in the oven.¡± Only after Yi Chen had taken a few sips of the soup did Mother Yi state her purpose ofing here today. ¡°Xiao Chen, there will be arge-scale painting exhibition happening abroad in two days. It¡¯s going to be for a week, and your dad has already booked the tickets for it.¡± Mother Yi paused before continuing, ¡°There also happens to be a balletpetition being held in early December there, and the organizers invited me to be a judge.¡± Yi Chen nodded. ¡°Go ba.¡± ¡°Then, will you be okay by yourself?¡± Mother Yi asked, ¡°In fact, I came here to ask you¡­ Would you like to go with us? We can find someone to manage thepany, or even ask your uncle to help us watch over it first. See, you haven¡¯t evenpletely recovered from your injury, and it¡¯s really not suitable for you to be doing high-intensity work right now. You know that your dad and I don¡¯t have any high material requirements. We know that you also¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m not a child.¡± Yi Chen put down his spoon and interrupted her, ¡°You guys have a good time.¡± Mother Yi was once again stopped from saying what she wanted to say. After a while, she sighed heavily, ¡°Okay ba.¡± After seeing his mother off, Yi Chen closed the door, and a familiar feeling of fatigue crept up again. This kind of feeling had just emerged in his body when his cell phone rang. It had rung several times in Mother Yi¡¯s presence as well, but because he had been talking to her, he hadn¡¯t had the time to take a look. Little Anchor: Sorry, I just went to deal with something. Little Anchor: [panic] [panic] [panic] Little Anchor: Are you busy? That cold tired feeling disappeared in a sh. Yi Chen went to the living room, held the cat in his arms, and directly video-called Yu Yan. It took more than ten seconds for the other side to pick up the call. It was dark on that side, and he only heard Yu Yan say, ¡°Wait a minute¡­¡± Then there came the sound of a door closing, and the light was turned on, but the angle the cellphone was being held at was very tricky, for only Yu Yan¡¯s purplish-red tie was in view of the video camera. Yu Yan went out to the balcony, and finally couldn¡¯t help it. ¡°Yi Chen¡­¡± He had held hisughter in for so long that it hurt, and only now could he finallyugh out loud. ¡°My friend seems to have been angered to the extent that he¡¯s now developed some issues.¡± Although he didn¡¯t know what had happened, seeing himughing so happily, the corner of Yi Chen¡¯s mouth also unconsciously drew up. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yu Yan told him about it. ¡°Then his online partner just called¡­ and said he was a clothes thief. They¡¯re still cursing each other out on the phone.¡± When he finished, Yu Yan shook his head. ¡°No, it seems that Lu Xiuhe is just unterally cursing him out.¡± ¡°Online dating as a method of dating was originally unreasonable and also unreliable. It¡¯s too risky,¡± said Yi Chen. Yu Yan was stunned, and his smile faltered a bit, but he quickly changed the topic. ¡°¡­it¡¯s not that, it¡¯s just that Lu Xiuhe¡¯s luck wasn¡¯t so good. There are still a lot of people who manage to sessfully date online.¡± Yi Chen shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s a long distance rtionship where you can¡¯t see them, can¡¯t touch them, you¡¯re far away, and your emotions are only maintained by ying games and through a few words. How long can itst?¡± ¡°As long as two people like each other, isn¡¯t that enough ma¡­¡± ¡°Separated by a screen, what like or not like, it can all be faked.¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± Yi Chen rubbed the cat. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you talking?¡± Most of Yu Yan¡¯s smile had disappeared by now, and after a short pause, he asked, ¡°Are you going back on what you said?¡± Yi Chen asked, ¡°What?¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you and I dating online?¡± Yi Chen: ¡°?¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°My return flight to Manyang is for tomorrow.¡± ¡ªThen they would be the ones in a long distance rtionship, where they couldn¡¯t see each other, couldn¡¯t touch each other, and would have to be far away from each other. They could only use games and some words to maintain their emotions for each other in this manner. ¡°¡­¡­¡± Yi Chen¡¯s expression gradually turned more imposing, and Little Fool¡¯s fur had been reversebed by its owner to the extent that he looked like the lion king. ¡ª The author has something to say: Online dating novices starting out, pay attention to avoid. ¡ª Juurensha: Soooo, you guys can probably guess who LXH¡¯s gf actually was, right? We¡¯ll get to what actually happened in that bathroom in the extras! And hahahaha Boss Yi, you really are a bit of a dummy when ites to rtionships. You guys are also dating online!

Chapter 73 - Change Chapter 73 - Change Edited by xiin and Noks Yu Yan saw the little Lion King and couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Don¡¯t muss up Little Fool¡¯s fur like that.¡± Yi Chen paused, started to stroke in the original direction again, and continued to pet Little Fool, but his eyebrows were already furrowed. ¡°Change the flight, and go back in a few months.¡± If he had said a few days, Yu Yan may have really considered doing so. After all, the pie falling from the sky had justnded in his hands, but it hadn¡¯t even been warmed up yet¡­ He himself was also reluctant to go back. Unexpectedly though, what came out of Yi Chen¡¯s mouth as soon as he opened it was ¡®a few months¡¯ instead. Yu Yan replied immediately, ¡°No way.¡± ¡°Then a few weeks.¡± ¡°¡­¡­also not possible.¡± Yi Chen took a deep breath. ¡°A few days.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Yu Yan wavered. Yi Chen said, ¡°I still haven¡¯t taken you to climb the mountain.¡± Yu Yan chuckled. ¡°Why are you still so concerned about that?¡± ¡°Last time you went to ask for blessings for me.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°This time I¡¯ll go ask for you.¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°But haven¡¯t you been very busytely?¡± ¡°The weekend will be better.¡± Yi Chen raised the cat. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to touch him?¡± ¡°Want to¡­¡± Yu Yan was just about to agree when he received a phone call, and the on-going WeChat video-call was immediately cut off. Yu Minyang was the one who was calling. ¡°Xiao Yan? Were you asleep?¡± Yu Yan held the cellphone to his ear. ¡°No¡­ is something wrong, Uncle?¡± Yu Minyang asked, ¡°You¡¯ll be back tomorrow ba? What time does the flightnd, Uncle will pick you up.¡± Yu Yan hurriedly said, ¡°No need, don¡¯t trouble yourself.¡± Yu Minyang replied, ¡°It¡¯s no trouble, how can picking you up be any trouble?¡± Yu Yan was just about to say that he might change his flight when he heard Yu Minyang say, ¡°Tomorrow is your aunt¡¯s birthday. She is old, so birthdays aren¡¯t that fun. I¡¯ll pick you up tomorrow, and then you can have a meal at home ba, it¡¯ll just count as her birthday celebration. She knew you wereing back and specially sent someone to go to other provinces to buy some bottles of some¡­ what¡­ secret ancestral recipe chili sauce. You¡¯ll have to try some of it thoroughly tomorrow.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s words froze in his throat. ¡°Hello? Xiao Yan, can you hear me?¡± Yu Minyang heard the sound of wind from the other end of the call, but didn¡¯t hear an answer. He hesitated and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t have time. Birthdays after all ah, there¡¯s one every year, it¡¯s no big deal.¡± ¡°Ah, I¡¯m here.¡± Yu Yan soon returned to his senses, and then after a while, nodded his head. ¡°¡­Okay, then troubling you to pick me up. The ne willnd in Manyang around 1 p.m.¡± Yu Minyangughed. ¡°Okay, see you tomorrow. I¡¯ll buy a bottle of good wer, and we¡¯ll open it up tomorrow to liven things up a bit.¡± After hanging up, Yu Yan quickly called Yi Chen back. He pressed his lips together and told him about the thing with the birthday. Originally, he had thought that the other side would say something, but he hadn¡¯t expected Yi Chen to just nod and simply say, ¡°I will send you to the airport tomorrow.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to trouble yourself, Lu Xiuhe and I will just take a taxi.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s tone brooked no argument. ¡°Would you like me to bring you breakfast?¡± ¡°&#k2026;&#k2026;No need.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Let¡¯s leave early, and I can treat you to some dimsum for breakfast? Or would you like to eat something else?¡± Yi Chen let out an ¡°en¡± and said, ¡°Anything is fine.¡± At the end, Yu Yan couldn¡¯t help it. After chatting for a bit, he asked, ¡°You¡¯re not angry ba?¡± Yi Chen put the cat on the table and leaned back. ¡°Not angry.¡± He said, ¡°I was the one who hadn¡¯t considered everything.¡± ¡°Everyone in Uncle¡¯s family has been very nice to me, I really can¡¯t refuse them.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°And you¡¯re so busy these days, if I stay here, I¡¯ll just be causing you trouble. Use the weekend to rest well ba. When you¡¯re done¡­¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows. Yu Yan faltered. ¡°When you¡¯re done, we¡¯ll talk about it then ba.¡± Yi Chenughed and said, ¡°Okay.¡± Just after he hung up the video-call, he heard Lu Xiuhe knock on the door twice from the outside. Because he had just finished yelling, the volume with which he spoke still hadn¡¯t been lowered. ¡°Xiao Yan, have you finished taking a bath? I¡¯ming in to toss the coat into the washing machine.¡± Yu Yan opened the door and looked at the brand-name coat in his hands. ¡°You probably can¡¯t just directly put this in the washing machine ba?¡± ¡°Then what?¡± ¡°Send it to the drycleaners?¡± Lu Xiuhe clicked his tongue and scratched the back of his head. ¡°Really troublesome. Forget it, I¡¯ll mail it back to him with some money.¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Do you know his address?¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s face turned ck in an instant. Of course, he didn¡¯t know that. If he had known, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have waited around the hotel for a meeting like a fool. He said, ¡°¡­Let me think of another way ba. By the way, I¡¯m making an appointment for the shuttle service tomorrow morning, just in case we don¡¯t get a taxi early morning tomorrow.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Yu Yan stopped him. ¡°¡­someone is going to be sending us to the airport tomorrow morning.¡± ¡°Really, who ah?¡± Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°Tuantuan?¡± Tuantuan had evene up to greet him yesterday. ¡°No. You get up earlier ba, we¡¯ll go to the airport after eating breakfast.¡± Since it was an anchor event, it was very normal for Yu Yan to know some people who could send them to the airport. Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t think about it too deeply and nodded. ¡°Okay.¡± The morning of the next day, Yu Yan received a WeChat message just as his cellphone rm rang. Yu Yan buried his head into his pillow and wanted toze around for another ten minutes. He was not nning on taking a look at his phone. The only ones who would send him messages this early were all members of that strange discussion group @ing the whole group. Ten minutester, he got out of the bed and took out his cell phone, nning to turn off the rm that was sounding again. However, as soon as he saw the contents of the message on the screen, his sleepiness disappeared in a sh¡ª¡ª 1: I¡¯m downstairs. What¡¯s the room number? Despite the circumstances, Yi Chen was sitting in the VIP lobby with a calm and cool attitude, holding a magazine in his hand and flipping through it casually. Ten minutester, there was movement. The door of the VIP lobby was opened, and a small head poked in. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± The young man¡¯s hair hadn¡¯t been tidied up yet, and several strands were just poking out from his head. His face was flustered, and he apologized sincerely, ¡°¡­I overslept.¡± Of course, Yu Yan hadn¡¯t overslept, it was Yi Chen who had arrived early. He had the habit of getting up early and had even finished a special morning jog beforeing here. Unexpectedly, he had stille here a bit too early. Lu Xiuhe was the one who was pitiful. Last night, the matter of returning the coat had worried him and kept him up until midnight, and then he even had to wake up half an hour earlier this morning. However, he wasn¡¯t sleepy at all. He put his luggage in the trunk of the car, and then sat in the back seat. If someone looked at him now, they would find that he was in a dazed state. He had also attended the g, and naturally knew who was in the driver¡¯s seat. ¡­Was Xiao Yan really this awesome? He was already in a position where he could ask the big boss to pick him up and send him to the airport? How many things had happened that he didn¡¯t know about while he was addicted to fake online dating? He was currently holding back a bellyful of questions when he saw Big Boss Yi raise his hand suddenly¡­ and ce it on Yu Yan¡¯s head. Yu Yan asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Your hair is messed up.¡± As he spoke, Yi Chen straightened his hair up with his fingertips, exerting force that was neither too light nor too gentle. Yu Yan froze upon feeling the warmth of his fingertips, and his heart skipped two beats. He instinctively raised his hand to tidy up his hair, and both of their hands ran into each other. ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Almost done.¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°¡­en.¡± Lu Xiuhe: ¡°?¡± During breakfast, Lu Xiuhe felt more and more ufortable. It wasn¡¯t that they did anything. On the contrary, they didn¡¯t do anything, but the strangest thing was¡­ Big Boss Yi kept making a mistake and drinking from Yu Yan¡¯s tea cup. And then Yu Yan would just refill his tea cup with reddened ears. ¡°You and Xiao Yan have known each other for a long time?¡± At the end of the breakfast, Big Boss Yi finally discovered that there was a third person at the table. ¡°Yes, my name is Lu Xiuhe, hello, hello.¡± Yi Chen nodded. ¡°I know.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°You know?¡± Yi Chen let out an ¡°en¡± and said, ¡°Haven¡¯t we yed games together before?¡± ¡°yed games? Are you mistaken¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe was about tough and deny it, but suddenly froze in the middle of speaking. Wait. Saying it like that, wasn¡¯t this voice familiar ah? After a while, Lu Xiuhe dropped the baozi he had been holding, and it fell on the floor. ¡ª When Yu Yan checked in at the airport, he found that his ticket was a first ss ticket again. They had arrived a bitte, and so would have to go through the security check right after getting their tickets. Ever since Lu Xiuhe had realized that Yi Chen was 1, his whole person had be energized, and he had chattered and interrupted them nonstop on the way here. At the security checkpoint, Yi Chen stopped and said, ¡°Go ahead ba, after yound, call me.¡± ¡°En.¡± Yu Yan nced at the time. ¡°It¡¯s already this time, won¡¯t you bete for work?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have a set time for work.¡± Yu Yan nodded, said goodbye to him, turned around, and took a few steps. However, he couldn¡¯t help but look back. The man, who was dressed in a suit, was still standing at the same ce and looking at him. Seeing him turn back to look at him, Yi Chen was stunned at first, but then he raised his hand and waved at him. Yu Yan paused, then handed his boarding pass and luggage to Lu Xiuhe. ¡°Help me look after this first¡­ I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± Yu Yan turned around, strode over to Yi Chen, and dragged him into a corner. Yi Chen was a bit surprised, but he let him grab him and pull him away. As they came to a standstill in the corner, heughed. ¡°I was saying goodbye to you, not telling you toe back¡­¡± ¡°I know.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I know¡­ I was the one who wanted toe back.¡± ¡°My livestreaming time is from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.¡± Without waiting for Yi Chen¡¯s answer, Yu Yan continued, ¡°I may not be able to pick up your voice-calls or video-calls during that time. My livestream ends sote, and by that time, you will have worked all day and should be very tired. So¡­¡± Yi Chen looked at him. ¡°En?¡± ¡°So,¡± Yu Yan raised his head and stated the n that he hade up with after thinking all night. ¡°I¡¯m nning on changing my livestreaming time. Is 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. okay? This way, we can have a little more time to video-chat¡­¡± Unexpectedly, when he said that, Yi Chen¡¯s eyebrows twitched, and he interrupted him, ¡°No need.¡± It was almost time to board the ne, so Yu Yan was in a hurry. ¡°Or I¡¯ll start at eight? I can match your work time.¡± Online dating was a long-distance rtionship. To maintain such a rtionship, the most important thing was to apany each other andmunicate properly. But the two of them, especially Yu Yan, who had to work under the lens of a camera every day, would have a hard time doing those things. This rtionship hade out of the blue and was also a happy surprise. He had thought all night about how to properly maintain and protect it. All of the ns that he told Yi Chen involved him either lengthening or shortening his livestreaming time. After he finished stating all his ns, he looked at the silent man, and suddenly realized that perhaps he was pestering a bit too much? Freeing up a few hours every day just to chat, if it had been the him from before, he would also feel that doing something like this was inconceivable. Besides, Yi Chen was also usually so busy. Thinking in this manner, his words also slowed down. ¡°Or if you don¡¯t like to talk too long¡­ Just the same as before is also fine.¡± ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen said with augh, ¡°It¡¯s fine if you do things just as before.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s eyes dimmed. ¡°Oh¡­¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to change anything for me.¡± Seeing an upset expression on his face, Yi Chen raised his hand and pinched his earlobe a bit. ¡°It should be me who tries to match your time.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Eeeee, everyone is so mature in trying to figure out how to make a long-distance rtionship work. (Although Yi Chen immediately jumping to, ¡°Why don¡¯t you stay for a few months¡± is hrious to me) Oh and, the hurricane has drifted east of where I am thankfully, but if there is a power outage and the next chapter iste, that is why!

Lu Xiuhe handed him all his stuff back. ¡°What were you two talking about over there that took so long, and why did President Yi even touch your face ah?¡± There were no blind spots near the security checkpoint to prevent other people from watching. Their every move had been witnessed by the eyes of others. It was precisely because of this scrutiny that he had not been able to do what he had really wanted to do when he had turned around in the end. They could talk to each other anytime, and whether his livestreaming time needed to be adjusted or not could be discussedter, but he didn¡¯t know how long it would be before he would be able to see Yi Chen again after he returned to Manyang. ¡°Didn¡¯t say much, and I had something on my face.¡± Yu Yan stowed away his regret and picked up his luggage. ¡°Let¡¯s go ba.¡± Once he got on the ne and found his seat, Yu Yan fastened his seat belt. While the other passengers were still boarding, he took out his cellphone to send Yi Chen a message. ¡°Xiao Yan. The ne¡¯s about to take-off, and you¡¯re still ying on your cellphone.¡± Lu Xiuhe lowered his voice and smiled widely. ¡°This is my first time in first-ss, I¡¯m so nervous. Is there anything I need to pay attention to?¡± His ticket had also been upgraded to first-ss by Yi Chen. ¡°No, it¡¯s pretty much like economy ss.¡± ¡°Oh, I have to send another message to thank President Yi.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°President Yi is too generous ba, I¡­¡­¡± In the middle of the conversation, Lu Xiuhe suddenly shut up and stopped talking. Upon realizing that the area around him had gone quiet, Yu Yan turned around doubtfully, and found that Lu Xiuhe¡¯s gaze had fallen on the seat next to them. His eyes were very wide. Yu Yan looked at the passenger on the other side of the aisle. He was wearing a hat, a mask, and sunsses. He was wrapped up and down so tightly that not a single strand of hair could be seen. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yu Yan asked. ¡°I really have seen a ghost.¡± Lu Xiuhe got up. ¡°Xiao Yan, can we change our seats?¡± Yu Yan let out an ¡°oh¡±, and then switched seats. Right after that, suddenly, the stranger beside him also rose up. ¡°Hello.¡± He was wearing a mask, and his voice was muffled. ¡°Can I switch seats with you ma? I can add some money to it.¡± Yu Yan still hadn¡¯t understood what was going on until Lu Xiuhe exploded. ¡°Switch my ass, we¡¯re not switching. Are you some kind of fucking pain in the assma?!¡± The manughed and said, ¡°What, this ne belongs to your family, and no one else is permitted to take it?¡± ¡°Permitted ah, then just sit down ah, why change your seat?¡± Lu Xiuhe said. Lu Xiuhe¡¯s voice wasn¡¯t quiet, and the other passengers passing by couldn¡¯t help but look at them. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I won¡¯t switch seats.¡± The atmosphere between the two of them wasn¡¯t right, so Yu Yan refused. He still had more to add when his cell phone vibrated, and his focus immediately moved away from these two. 1: Forgot. Yu Yan: Forgot what? 1: Forgot to kiss you. How to describe Yu Yan¡¯s feelings right now? If he had carelessly gone up and sessfully stolen a kiss just then, he was afraid that he still wouldn¡¯t feel as satisfied and embarrassed as he did now, and his heart wouldn¡¯t be racing as fast as it did now either. Yu Yan: ¡­there were too many people around just now. 1: What does that matter? Yu Yan felt that this topic couldn¡¯t be continued any longer. If it did, then before the ne lifted off and left Jinchengpletely, it was likely that he could rush off the ne at any time. So he clumsily shifted the subject. Yu Yan: I¡¯m already on the ne. 1: I know, I see your flight. Yu Yan: Are you still at the airport?! 1: En. Yu Yan first replied with several exmation marks. Yu Yan: Go back quickly ba. I¡¯m taking off soon, and I¡¯ll contact you afternding. By the time he sent this message, the stewardess had already noticed the quarrel taking ce over by their spot. ¡°I¡¯m very sorry, sir, but our ne is about to take off. Would you please go back to your original seat and fasten your seat belt?¡± That strange man pulled off his mask and pursed his lips. Although his sunsses were still hanging on his face, Yu Yan sensed that this person was angry. After a while, he turned around and sat back in his original seat. With a bzzt¡ª the stewardess began to broadcast the in-flight safety demonstration. Yu Yan said goodbye in a hurry, then turned off his cellphone. By then, Yi Chen had already be a fixture in front of the flight information board. He stayed in this spot for a long time, his gaze constantly shifting between the flight information and his cellphone. Yi Chen had never sent someone off on a flight like this. His parents seldom let him know when they were going out. He often didn¡¯t know that they had gone for a visit until after they hadnded and stayed in that ce for a few days, and with regards to those important business partners¡ªhe would just see them off to the security checkpoint and then directly leave. It was not until the status of the flight he had been watching turned to ¡®Departed¡¯ that he put away his cellphone and strode away from the airport. ¡ª Yu Yan slept during the entire flight, and theynded without him knowing. Atst, Lu Xiuhe woke him up. ¡°Xiao Yan, I¡¯m getting off the ne first, and I¡¯ll hurry home¡­ let me know when you get home ah.¡± Yu Yan dazedly pulled off his sleep-mask. Because he was wrapped in a haze of sleepiness and also wasn¡¯t used to the brightness in the cabin, his vision seemed to be covered in ayer of gauze, and he couldn¡¯t see clearly. He only vaguely seemed to see someone standing next to Lu Xiuhe, with one hand hooked around Lu Xiuhe¡¯s neck. He closed his eyes and nodded wildly. ¡°Okay.¡± Yu Yan saw Yu Minyang waiting at the airport pick-up stand as soon as he got off the ne. ¡°How was it, was Jincheng fun?¡± As they were getting into the car, Yu Minyang asked with augh. Turning his head, he found that Yu Yan was holding his cellphone and typing. ¡°Very fun.¡± Yu Minyang looked away and said, ¡°Then that¡¯s good.¡± His Aunt had made a whole table of delicious dishes. Yu Yan took out a gift box from his suitcase as soon as he entered the room. It contained some stuff he had bought at the duty-free shop, and many Jincheng specialties were included in it. His Aunt looked ttered and surprised when epting it, and was not able to hide the smile on her face. It wasn¡¯t that she was joyous about having received this box, but it was just that even though Yu Yan wasn¡¯t usually very close to them, he had still thought about them during this trip¡ªand it was this sentiment that really made her happy. Yu Yan had promised his viewers that he would start streaming at 4 o¡¯clock in the afternoon. After eating lunch, he stood up and said goodbye. ¡°Xiao Yan, wait a minute, let your uncle take you back.¡± His Aunt brought out a ck bag from the kitchen that she had prepared earlier. ¡°I bought a lot of boxes of this sauce, so you take some back. When you eat noodles or rice, you can mix it in.¡± Yu Yan waved his hand. ¡°No need¡­¡± ¡°Take it ba. In order to send you off, he specifically didn¡¯t drink today. You have so much luggage with you, and we definitely will not let you take the subway, it¡¯s too much trouble. Besides, don¡¯t you have to rush back to start work?¡± Yu Minyang said nothing and put Yu Yan¡¯s luggage in the trunk of his car. Yu Yan had to sit in the car obediently. It was only when they were nearly back at his house that Yu Minyang asked, ¡°Xiao Yan ah.¡± Yu Yan put away his cellphone. ¡°En?¡± ¡°Are you dating now?¡± Yu Yan was shocked, his face showed apletely astonished expression. ¡°How did you know?¡± He had just been dating for a day¡­ ¡°Haha, you little kids ah, your thoughts are stered all over your face lou. You¡¯ve been giggling and ying with your cellphone since you got off the ne, it would be hard for me not to know ah.¡± Yu Minyang said with a big smile, ¡°Where are they from, Manyang? Are they a former ssmate?¡± ¡°No.¡± This question came as a surprise to Yu Yan. He didn¡¯t want to hide things from Yu Minyang, but it also wasn¡¯t easy for him to talk about Yi Chen. After all, their age, region, and gender were all factors that seemed to be difficult for their families to ept. After a while, he just whispered, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Uncle, but it¡¯s not convenient for me to talk about it right now.¡± ¡°That¡¯s fine.¡± Yu Minyang said with a heartyugh, ¡°Anyway, you may not be able to still be together in the end. You¡¯re still young, I¡¯ll ask youter ba.¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± Just as he reached home, Yu Yan received a message that Yi Chen had to go hold a meeting. After replying with a nodding emoticon, he hurriedly changed out of his heavy clothes. After all, the temperature in Manyang was nearly 30 degrees. Then he turned on theputer and started the livestream before it was even four o¡¯clock. As soon as the livestream started, many lines started to appear in the barrage. Ever since the g had ended, his livestream had seen a continuous rise in the number of fans. In just one day, it had increased by 60,000 fans. This was enough to show that StarTV¡¯s traffic was amazing. [Ahhhhhhh this background behind Yanyan, did youe back home?] [In the end, I still didn¡¯t get to see what 1 looks like¡­.] [Yanyan! Who was the person raising your chin up at the g?!! You quickly tell me!! I lost sleep over him well into the early hours of the morningst night ah!!] Yu Yan internally muttered to himself¡ªWhat a coincidence, I also lost sleep over him until midnightst night. ¡°What is this who raised my chin up? You guys are remembering it wrong ba.¡± Yu Yan lied rustily, ¡°I don¡¯t remember.¡± [Then let me review it for you ¡ú [Link to station C: best shots of StarTV g cut]] [I just knew someone would send this today. I have to say, can¡¯t these Meimei line up and wait? Can¡¯t we follow firste, first serve? Right click to enter ¡ú [Link to station C: Small Anchor and Big Boss¡­chapter 7]] As soon as these two lines appeared in the barrage, the peoplementing after this immediately split into two groups and started to quarrel with each other back and forth. Only the technique fans, left shivering in the middle, were still confused. [£¿£¿£¿ I didn¡¯t go to the wrong ce ba, isn¡¯t this a PUBG livestream?] Yu Yan also hadn¡¯t expected that such a quarrel would break out. After several unsessful attempts at dissuasion by the stream moderator, he finally couldn¡¯t hold back. ¡°In the future, no one will send any video links in the livestream. ording to the tform rules, we can¡¯t send out links.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°If you send it again, we can only suspend you. I hope everyone can speak harmoniously and watch the game happily.¡± Having just finished saying that, the stream followers listened to him and stopped sending links. Just¡­ [Will Never Give Up on 1YanTang: Foll.Ow Me. To. Watch. An. Ex.Citing. Vi.Deo. Lin.k. In. This. Per.Son¡¯s.Profile.] ¡°?¡± Yu Yan raised his hand and suspended this person. [Video Link On Profile Page: ¡û 1YanTang girls click to get today¡¯s happiness.] [Raise Up Chin little Gege: ¡û Chin-cons click to get today¡¯s happiness.] ¡°¡­¡­¡± Yu Yan gave up on the ban and started the game. ¡°ying two solo matches.¡± As soon as he entered the game, he thought that something wasn¡¯t quite right. This morning, PUBG had suddenly pushed out a big new multi-GB update. This was nothing, it was not the first time Bluehole was putting out an update without any notice. But hisputer inexplicably froze on the update interface for a while before the progress bar finally started to move. After waiting for nearly half an hour, the update was finallypleted. Yu Yan opened the game, and the constant freezing of the graphics told him that¡ªunfortunately, in the days he had been gone, theputer¡¯s ability to function had reduced by a lot again. At the end of the match, Yu Yan really couldn¡¯t bear it anymore. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry, it seems myputer can¡¯t run PUBG anymore. Let¡¯s y other games today ba, and I¡¯ll buy a newputer tomorrow. I¡¯m really very sorry.¡± Just as he finished saying that, Yu Yan¡¯s cellphone suddenly rang. Good Show: Is yourputer broken? Come y LoL ma, yourputer can definitely run that. I have four people here, and it¡¯ll just perfectly make five with you. Good Show: Don¡¯t worry, you know all of them. Those who came to see find us for the toast that day are all here. Good Show was the number one most popr anchor in the LoL section¡ªthe kind with a poprity score sitting at around 7 figures. If you could show your face in Good Show¡¯s livestream, gaining fans would be a matter of course, but because he was a big anchor, Good Show had to be more careful when recruiting people for the 5-man team. Yu Yan had really just met him only once, so howe Good Show suddenly came to invite him? Butpared to this, Yu Yan was more surprised about another thing. Yu Yan: ¡­How did you know myputer was broken? ¡ª The author has something to say: Lu Xiuhe¡¯s matters will be in the extras if nothing goes wrong. ¡ª Juurensha: You guys can probably guess who was on the ne right? And hahahaha, it¡¯s a ship war, but really they¡¯re all shipping the same thing! (Also¡­in LXH¡¯s extras, this scene doesn¡¯t appear to y out exactly the same way, which is a bit strange, but oh well.) Also thankfully, hurricane passed us by and no loss of power! Although please help poor Lake Charles if you can! Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! And there¡¯s an audio drama for PUBG that came out! It¡¯s more condensed than the novel, but it¡¯s fun! And check out our fanart/fanfic page! Chapter 75 - Smell Chapter 75 - Smell Edited by Divetus and Noks Good Show: That¡¯s not the main point,ing ma? Yu Yan hesitated for a moment, and refused in the end. Although ying games with a big-name anchor could increase his poprity, the number of antis would also increase dramatically. Before, with the trending topic on the search hotlist involving Tuantuan, many of her fans had chased after him on Weibo, postingments saying that he was hugging her thigh, and inexplicably also saying that he was a g man. He didn¡¯t particrly care much about such kind of talk, but his fans weren¡¯t fond of listening to it. Every time the topic of conversation turned to something like this, one topic could brawl for several hundred threads, which created a very unpleasant atmosphere. He felt that poprity could be umted slowly, and there was no need to use this way for gathering it. Yu Yan: I¡¯m very noob at LoL, so I won¡¯te to simply drag you guys into a pit. After sending this sentence to Good Show, heunched LoL. It had just started patching when his cellphone sounded again. He thought it was Good Show, but didn¡¯t expect it to be Lu Xiuhe who had sent the message. Your Great Lord Lu: Xiao Yan, I¡¯m going back to ying PUBG again. Getting it ready right now. Yu Yan: Myputer has an issue, not ying PUBG right now. Want toe to y LoL? Your Great Lord Lu: ? Your Great Lord Lu: That ce is filled with sorrow and regret. Your Great Lord Lu: I swore in my heartst night to never enter Summoner¡¯s Rift ever again. Yu Yan: Okay, 88. Your Great Lord Lu: Which LoL server? Yu Yan: ¡­ Yu Yan: Ionia Server. Yu Yan logged in and stayed on the game¡¯s home screen, and ended up waiting a long time without seeing Lu Xiuhee online. His stream followers had already been urging him to y for a while, so Yu Yan simply called him on WeChat. Lu Xiuhe picked up the call in seconds. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Did you note on yet?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been on ah, I¡¯ve been on for a long time now. Go ahead and pull me into your party ya.¡± Yu Yan scrolled through his list of online friends. ¡°I can¡¯t find you.¡± He paused, wondering. ¡°Did you delete me?¡± ¡°No¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe suddenly remembered something. He was silent at first, but then said, ¡°I changed my username.¡± Half a minuteter, ¡°Straight as Steel Guy Lu Hehe¡± entered the room. Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± This name contained a strong vor of ¡°the harder one tried to conceal something, the more obvious it became.¡± Because his LoL skills had deteriorated significantly, Yu Yan queued into a normal match to practice first. He would climb up from where he had fallen. Since this was just a normal match, he didn¡¯t have to worry about losing any ranked points. As soon as they queued into the match, he picked Zed. ¡°Why are you ying him again?¡± Lu Xiuhe was still traumatized by Yu Yan¡¯s previous performance while ying Zed. ¡°Do you still not know how to y ADC? Why do you insist on ying mid?¡± ¡°Want to y a solone.¡± ¡°Fine ba.¡± Fortunately, the enemy¡¯s mid seemed to be practicing a champion and had picked Lux. Yu Yan looked up the other party¡¯s match history¡ª3 matches with a 0% win rate. After he solo killed Lux for the fourth time, the opponent spoke up. [Little Mountain Spring Is a Bit Sweet [Lux]: Can we be a little more harmonious, little Gege?] At this time, a rueful sigh floated over from the barrage¡ª¡ª [What¡¯s with this anchor¡¯s luck? It¡¯s fine if he runs into Meizis every day while ying PUBG, but he rarely ys LoL. Yet, he still runs into another Meizi after one match?!] Yu Yan bought some items while asking, ¡°How do you guys know she¡¯s a Meizi?¡± [By the time you were five seconds into your game, I had already gathered all her information. This Meizi loves ying support, and is best at Soraka and Lulu. She also has a long-term duo ADC, and based on the name, they should be a couple. That dude is also Challenger ranked, so the anchor has no chance. Everyone, don¡¯t be afraid.] ¡°?¡± Yu Yan was shocked and wholeheartedly eximed in admiration, ¡°Awesome.¡± [Little Mountain Spring Is a Bit Sweet [Lux]: What kind of sense of aplishment do you feel while killing me ah? Don¡¯t you see our team has a 600 gold bounty, why do you stille after me? What kind of happiness can you gain from killing me? For just my measly 100 gold bounty, you¡¯ll keep chasing after me? QAQ] Because Lux had been consecutively killed so many times in a row, her death was only worth 100 gold now. The girl didn¡¯t really want to ask Yu Yan whether he was happy or not, she was just gloomy that she died so many times. She wanted to use the all chat interaction to draw thebat to her solo topne. [Is it my fault I¡¯m noob: Quite happy, thank you for helping me regain my self-confidence.] [Little Mountain Spring Is a Bit Sweet: ?] The matchsted for only 24 minutes. After Lux died for the 10th time, the other side finally chose to forfeit. [Anchor, will you carry stream followers in LoL if we send you 2000 yuan worth of gifts?] Seeing this line in the barrage, Yu Yan hurriedly said, ¡°Won¡¯t carry any stream followers in LoL.¡± He was already this noob; he couldn¡¯t let his stream followers spend 2000 yuan on a little broken bike. As he talked to the barrage, he quickly loaded into the second match as well. As soon as he entered the party lobby, he saw a line of small characters. [Little Mountain Spring Is a Bit Sweet joined the lobby.] At this time, Yu Yan¡¯s LoL chat client randomly sent out a ping notification, and this ID was then disyed in the chat box. [Little Mountain Spring Is a Bit Sweet: ?? It¡¯s you. Let¡¯s go duo bot together so I can get some revenge.] In the lower right corner of the chat client window, Little Mountain Spring¡¯s friend request also popped up along with the message. [Wtf, Meizi requesting to interact x2?] [The person who just said that the anchor didn¡¯t have a chancee out; the friend request has already been sent!!] Yu Yan was about to type out a response but his cellphone suddenly dinged, and he instinctively nced at it. 1: I¡¯m home. Yu Yan: Have you eaten yet? 1: Brought things back to eat. ying games? Is there space left? Little Mountain Spring didn¡¯t receive a response. She stayed silent, and said nothing more, but had already locked in Lulu. The stream followers were just discussing which ADC Yu Yan would pick, when suddenly, the anchor raised his eyes and quickly moved his mouse to exit the champion selection screen. As he ignored the question marks filling the barrage, Yu Yan continued to ask¡ª Yu Yan: !! Are you free? 1: En, today¡¯s meeting went well. Yu Yan: But today, myputer started having problems again, so I can¡¯t y PUBG. I n to buy a new one tomorrow¡­ Yi Chen recalled theputer he had sent that had been rejected and returned. He considered the thought of sending it over and over again, but still didn¡¯t open his mouth. He knew Yu Yan wouldn¡¯t ept it; he didn¡¯t need to mention it again because that would just be a waste of time. 1: Then, what are you streaming now? Yu Yan: LoL¡­ are youing? 1: Coming. Seeing this word, Yu Yan unconsciously straightened his back. ¡°Xiao Yan, what¡¯s the matter? Queue ah,¡± Lu Xiuhe urged him. ¡°Soon,¡± Yu Yan said. ¡°There¡¯s a friend¡­ there¡¯s someone elseing.¡± ¡°Oh, who ah?¡± [I¡¯d like to see who was worth you giving up that Little Mountain Spring!] [Have you guys been single so long that it¡¯s made you develop problems? As soon as you see a woman, they¡¯re suddenly your baby?] [The person before, saying that is so boring ah. Everyone is joking around.] Within five minutes, a yer named ¡°It¡¯s not your fault¡± quickly joined the party lobby. Before anyone on the barrage could react, the yer used the built-in LoL voice chat to lightly say hello. Instantly, they all understood. [Little Mountain Spring can go to fucking hell. We¡¯ll never give up the vast river and sea behind us for just a Little Mountain Spring.] ¡°Can you hear me?¡± Yi Chen tapped the microphone in front of his mouth with his fingertip. Yu Yan responded, ¡°I can hear you. Were you having a problem with your mic earlier?¡± ¡°No.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°I¡¯m using a newputer, not used to it.¡± Yu Yan was surprised. ¡°A newputer?¡± ¡°The one in theputer room.¡± There was a rustling noise, and then he heard Yi Chen ask, ¡°Why did you adjust the chair to be so high? You¡¯re already so tall, wouldn¡¯t you end up looking down at the screen? If you keep sitting like this, there will be problems with your spine.¡± [???] [So the person who appeared at Xiao Yan¡¯s side a few days ago really turned out to be 1, ahhhhhhhhh!! The ship is real!] Yu Yan subconsciously lowered his chair. ¡°I¡¯m used to it. If the chair is too low, it¡¯s ufortable to shoot the guns.¡± Suddenly, the other side went silent. After a while, Yu Yan asked, ¡°Yi¡­ 1, are you ready? If you¡¯re good, I¡¯ll queue into a match.¡± ¡°Ready.¡± Only after a long while did Yi Chen¡¯s voice sound out. He suddenly asked, ¡°What kind of shower gel did you use the other day?¡± Yu Yan froze. ¡°The hotel¡¯s gel. What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s tone was natural as he spoke, ¡°After sitting here for a while, the chair smells a bit like you.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Yi Chen: secret genius at delivering fanservice and dog food to all the 1YanTang fans out there hahahaha. And LXH, your new username isn¡¯t fooling anyone. Thank you to Divi for looking over some things again! Divi: League again¡­ Will it be another massacre or can Yanyan carry? \o/ Just passing by the game heavy chapters. Yi Chen giving up huge fan service, knowingly?

Chapter 76 - Its not unreasonable for me to hate the rich Chapter 76 - It¡¯s not unreasonable for me to hate the rich Edited by Divetus, xiin, and Noks The stream followers were momentarily stunned before they followed up with an immediate response. [Wtfffffffffff?? What smell???] [Wait, how do you know that¡¯s my son¡¯s smell???] [Fucking hell, this is too gay, 8. Who can stand this ah?] The barrage was -ing on and had managed to send two screens worth of messages before Yu Yan took action. ¡°It¡¯s probably because¡­ the hotel had good quality shower gel.¡± His ears were burning. He subconsciously lowered his head to sniff himself. ¡°Maybe that¡¯s why the smellsts for a while?¡± Yi Chen leaned back slightly and rested his head on the back of the chair. The fragrance lightly lingered around him; it smelt very pleasant. ¡°Maybe ba.¡± With that, he opened StarTV on his desktop browser and entered the livestream, apanied by his chariot entrance special effect. The person, whose video image was being disyed in the lower right corner of the streaming window, saw his entrance. At first, his eyes slightly brightened, but then an unnatural expression appeared on his face as he greeted him, ¡°Wee to the livestream, 1.¡± Yi Chenughed and couldn¡¯t help but pick up his cellphone to send him a WeChat message. 1: So formal? Little Anchor: ¡­ Little Anchor: Then, how do you want me to wee you¡­? 1: When calling out my name, you should be a little more enthusiastic. Yu Yan subconsciously looked up at the number of viewers disyed on the counter on his stream, held his cellphone, and took a deep breath¡ª¡ª With such a kind of thing suddenly happening¡ªwhy did it carry feelings of shame and excitement, just like that of a ndestine love affair?! [Yanyan¡¯s face is so red, did he overdo his filter?] [Is the person above new? Yanyan¡¯s heavily dependent on his good-looking face; he never turns on filters during his livestreams :)] [Ah, I see. Thank you, Jie/Mei.] After seeing Yu Yan flustered to this state but still trying to frantically type, Yi Chen was satisfied. 1: It¡¯s also fine if you wait until after the livestream to call out my name. Little Anchor: ¡­ Yi Chen wondered if he had teased him too much and was just about to yield a bit when¡ª Little Anchor: Then, I¡¯ll just owe you for now. Little Anchor: Wait until after my livestream is done, then I¡¯ll call out your name for you to hear. 1£º¡­ 1: Okay. Wearing apletely shy expression, Yu Yan quickly put down his cellphone and didn¡¯t dare to reply again. ¡°Manyang¡¯s weather has been hottely, and I didn¡¯t turn on the air conditioner, so it¡¯s hot in here.¡± Seeing that the barrage was still joking around, he quickly said, ¡°¡­Then, I¡¯ll queue for a match?¡± Just as he said that, a message suddenly shed over his head on the screen. [Little Fairy Wants A Hug has sent out a meteor shower.] [Little Fairy Wants A Hug: Sent 2000 yuan worth of gifts, getting on the bus.] Everyone was stunned. ¡°Sorry, today I¡¯m ying another game so I¡¯m not carrying stream followers.¡± Yu Yan was also stunned. He recognized this name; wasn¡¯t it the liar who Lu Xiuhe kept talking about? ¡°This gift can be kept until the next time you get on the bus, or I can refund half of it.¡± Their couple name was especially lovey-dovey, so as soon as the little fairy appeared, many stream followers recognized it. [Isn¡¯t this the girlfriend of the anchor¡¯s friend? With this kind of rtionship, she still needs to line up to get on the bus?] Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t say a word, but desperately sent a message on QQ¡ª¡ª Your Great Lord Lu: Save me!!!!! Save me ah!!!!! Yu Yan hesitated for a moment before going against his conscience and saying, ¡°Maybe it¡¯s just someone with the same name ba¡­¡± [Little Fairy Wants A Hug: It¡¯s not just the same name. I already logged in and my ID hasn¡¯t changed; pull me into the party.] ¡°&#k2026;&#k2026;¡± Yu Yan saw Lu Xiuhe frantically spam him with messages to save him and so acted blind, as if he hadn¡¯t even seen the message in the barrage. Who would¡¯ve expected that a swish sound would appear, and their party suddenly gained another person. Little Fairy Wants A Hug. Yi Chen had directly and nimbly pulled this person into their party and asked, ¡°Queue?¡± A male voice sounded out. He seemed to have a cold since his voice was a bit hoarse. ¡°Queue.¡± A moment of silence ensued in the livestream barrage. [???] [¡­¡­] Since the barrage at this moment was mostly filled with just symbols expressing shock and speechlessness, any lines with actual content stood out particrly prominently. [Fucking little fairy, fucking wanting a hug.] [Whose male voice was that just now? Did I hallucinate that???] [What kind of devilish stream is this? I¡¯d better go first ba, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll get infected by your gay spirit. I misjudged you, Lu Xiuhe.] Lu Xiuhe couldn¡¯t endure anymore. ¡°Hey, did you misjudge me as being bent?¡± He couldn¡¯t let these stupid, heartless stream followers know that he had been catfished, let alone have them find out that the person he had constantly lovingly called baby was actually a man. Thinking of this, Lu Xiuhe opened his mouth and said, ¡°Who told you guys that this is a man? They¡¯re a woman. They just have a cold so their voice is a little hoarse!¡± Once again, the stream fell silent. Yu Yan¡¯s cellphone vibrated. 1: Your friend seems to be a bit foolish. At this time, the hoarse voice emerged again. ¡°En, I¡¯m a woman.¡± It was said with a trace of impatience and irritation, and with a voice that had obviously been pitched up a little. 1: ¡­ Little Anchor: ¡­ 1: Kick them out. We can just y with the two of us. Little Anchor: That¡¯s not very nice ba? Lu Xiuhe urged him. ¡°Xiao Yan, queue ah!¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°Oh¡­ okay.¡± After entering the match, Yi Chen chose Soraka¡ªthe unrivalled support specialized in just healing teammates. The one random person on the team chose to y topne, so there were only three positions left: mid, jungle and ADC. The little fairy chose Aatrox. ¡°Mid-junglebo?¡± Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t respond and spoke to Yu Yan, ¡°Xiao Yan, I¡¯ll y bot with 1. You can y jungler¡­¡± He had barely finished speaking before Yu Yan rapidly selected Tristana and locked it in, pretending to be stupid as he said, ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe silently locked in Lee Sin. ¡°Nothing.¡± The match began. After helping Lu Xiuhe kill his jungle buff minion, Yu Yan and 1 went down to theirne. Yu Yan exined to him, ¡°Do you know how to y Soraka? Her main skill key is W; W is the skill for healing¡­¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°I do. After reading through the skills, it seems very simple.¡± Seven minutester, Lu Xiuhe went down to the botne to help gank. Lee Sin fired out his skill, hitting his Q twice to jump to the enemy¡¯s side and dealt a massive amount of damage to them. At the same time, he was also caught by the enemy Thresh¡¯s hook. Yu Yan followed up with Lu Xiuhe¡¯s attack and thus got a kill on the enemy Thresh. The opponent¡¯s ADC saw that he couldn¡¯t run away, so he decisively tried to fight back. All his skills could only be aimed at Lu Xiuhe, who was instantly reduced to just a sliver of health. Lu Xiuhe screamed, ¡°Heal me, heal me once, Boss Yi!¡± As soon as his voice fell, he heard the distinct healing sound effect. Next to him, the Tristana who still had 600 HP lit up, and now, she had gained an additional 100 HP. The healing had been cast on Yu Yan. Lu Xiuhe was brutally killed by the enemy ADC. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Yi Chen turned on his mic and said, ¡°Instinctively clicked on him. Healed the wrong person.¡± Yu Yan happily grabbed two kills. ¡°It¡¯s fine, let¡¯s go back to base.¡± Lu Xiuhe: ¡°?¡± 12 minutester, Lu Xiuhe went to the topne but was ambushed by a wave of attacks from the hidden enemy midner. He was returned to base, free of charge. 15 minutester, Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t give up and went to the botne again. He was as fierce as a tiger with his next y, yet it wasn¡¯t able to cause enough damage for the kill before he was shackled in ce. He watched with his own eyes as his teammates chased after the enemy botne, both of whom only had a bit of health left. But Yu Yan just chased after the enemy from behind without attacking. As expected, he was a good bro. Lu Xiuhe emotionally thought that Yu Yan knew to leave him his kills. Yu Yan damaged both of the enemies down to a sliver of health, and Lu Xiuhe was finally released from Thresh¡¯s ultimate ability. Just as he used his sh to catch up, Yu Yan said, ¡°1, toss down a Q.¡± Soraka very obediently dropped down a Q, earning a double kill. Lu Xiuhe only earned two assists and left thene in tears. Maybe this was the price the boss was making him pay for his upgraded airne seat ba. [¡­How should I put it? Boss 1 is truly ying like a Warwick. When I y as Soraka, every time I see low health, I reflexively heal; I can¡¯t help it. But he can just directly ignore his dying teammates and seriously achieve the ¡°My eyes only contain the ADC¡± mentality. I admire him.] [Are you sure what he did was only ¡°having the ADC in his eyes¡±? It¡¯s good that Xiao Yan is ying bot in this match. If he was ying anything else, I¡¯m afraid that the ADC wouldn¡¯t even see the Soraka after 15 minutes.] At this moment, Little Fairy, who had been silent up until now, had nimbly managed to kill the topner who had tried to gank him. Although his words were pleasant, the tone that he spoke with contained traces of sarcasm. ¡°Baby, if youe to mid, I¡¯ll give you all my kills.¡± Lu Xiuhe cursed, ¡°You fucking¡­¡± [Is this really a girl?? No matter how you listen to this voice, it¡¯s a man ah. The anchor¡¯s friend has truly been bent into a gay guy.] ¡°You fucking¡­ why is it so nice to listen to you speak?¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s words took a huge turn. ¡°I¡¯m actually fucking going over there right now.¡± ¡°En.¡± Little Fairy lightly said, ¡°If you keep cursing so much, I won¡¯t like you anymore oh.¡± Lu Xiuhe: ¡°¡­¡± While Lu Xiuhe went to gank the midne, the opposing jungler went down to the botne. They went around the jungle and came from behind. Because Yi Chen didn¡¯t notice in time, the enemy jungler caught them by surprise. Fortunately, the two of them weren¡¯t that extended and were closer to their side. They were almost about to sessfully escape with just a sliver of health remaining when the enemy Lucian suddenly used their ultimate ability, and countless bullets hit Yi Chen. Just before Yi Chen died, a mysterious sort of y urred¡ª¡ª With a crackle, the Tristana that had previously sessfully escaped suddenly turned around andnded right behind the healer, blocking thest few deadly bullets. Yu Yan¡¯s screen immediately grayed out. After confirming that Soraka had smoothly escaped, he calmly opened up the shop and bought himself a B.F. Sword. [As a person who ys support all-year round I can¡¯t watch this anymore. I just have to say that I¡¯ve fallen in love with this kind of ADC.] [The ADC in exchange for a support? It¡¯s a big loss ah.] ¡°Not a loss.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Soraka just got a double kill, so the bounty reward is 400 gold.¡± Looking at the Tristana lying on the ground, Yi Chen asked, ¡°How much money is it¡­ to get the equipment needed so that I can get stronger?¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t y support too often. He thought about it and named two items, ¡°Ardent Censer and Redemption?¡± Yi Chen opened up the shop and found the two items that Yu Yan had mentioned. He looked at the amount of gold he needed to buy them and then said, ¡°I don¡¯t have enough gold.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°That¡¯s fine. You¡¯ll get enough after you get a few more assists.¡± Yi Chen asked, ¡°Can you pay for items with real money?¡± Yu Yan: ¡°?¡± Yi Chen continued to ask, ¡°Also, there aren¡¯t many item slots, so can I spend money to buy more slots?¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°I can¡¯t find the ce to charge money,¡± continued Yi Chen. [?] [Consider this as me begging you to shut up ba. Don¡¯t say this bullshit. What if you¡¯re heard by Riot Games?] [So it¡¯s not unreasonable for me to hate the rich¡­] ¡°You can¡¯t buy items with real money; items can only be bought with the gold earned in the match.¡± The stream followers all thought that Yi Chen was joking, but only Yu Yan knew that he was serious. Thinking of the earnest manner in which the man had asked the question, Yu Yanughed. ¡°In LoL and PUBG, you can only buy skins and items like name changes with real money.¡± Yi Chen heard his words. He let out a displeased ¡°en¡±, frowned, and then bought some of the recipe items to build the Ardent Censer. What was the matter with the gamepanies now? He remembered that a few years ago, Yi Ran had been addicted to an MMORPG and the way to y it was particrly simple and crude¡ªby spending money. By using money, you could have the highest quality equipment and summoning beasts. Whoever had the most money was everyone else¡¯s daddy. No matter how skilled the other yers were, it was useless. Although he had never touched those sort of online games, he very much missed those simple and straightforward pay-to-win type of games. ¡ª Juurensha: I¡¯m pretty sure Boss Yi is the only one wanting MORE pay to y. Although I do wonder if the game Yi Ran was addicted to happens to be NCH from GHFOD¡­. And LXH¡¯s ¡°gf¡± cracks me up, long-suffering and just ying along still. And thank you to Divi again for providing so much pro feedback for the LoL parts! Divi: And that¡¯s why these types ofpetitive games are so popr¡­ LoL, PUBG, APEX, Valorant, Fortnite¡­. Because you can¡¯t pay-to-win your progress. Only pure skill lets you advance your rank (or buy a boost). Yi Chen makes meugh, but Yu Yan also makes meugh with how cringey his game y is.

Chapter 77 - Kissed gently Chapter 77 - Kissed gently Edited by xiin and Noks Yu Yan wrote up a list ofputer parts he needed that night and got up early the next morning to buy the parts. The shop near Lu Xiuhe¡¯s home was owned by a person Father Lu knew well, so it would be less likely that he would get fleeced. Yu Yan had just gotten off the bus when he saw Lu Xiuhe standing at the bus station and waving to him with two boxes of stir-fried rice noodles in his hands. ¡°Here, breakfast.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°You came too early ba, I nearly didn¡¯t even get up.¡± ¡°I already told you that I don¡¯t need you to apany me.¡± Yu Yan looked at the dark circles under his eyes. ¡°Didn¡¯t you tell me you were going to bed at elevenst night?¡± Thinking ofst night¡¯s quarrel, Lu Xiuhe only felt a throbbing pain at his temples. What kind of wretched situation was this ah? ¡°How can someone just lie in bed and immediately fall asleep? I just dawdled there for a long time. Whatever, I¡¯m not that sleepy. Let¡¯s go and get the parts ba.¡± With the list of parts in hand, buying things went very quickly. If the store didn¡¯t have some part, the boss would go to another store to get it. Theputer was ready after a few trips. Yu Yan tried it on the spot, and because it was new, its operating speed could evenpare to the one in Yi Chen¡¯s home. There was no young Inte addict who didn¡¯t like high-performance machines; it was like choosing a gun to take onto a battlefield. What¡¯s more, this was what Yu Yan used to make money, and he was usually apanied by this thing for most of the day. So when he finally got theputer in his hands, he was very happy. He took a taxi and even treated Lu Xiuhe to a box of good cigarettes before saying goodbye. He got in the taxi and couldn¡¯t help sending a message to Yi Chen. Yu Yan: I got myputer set up [picture] Five minutester, an iing voice call popped up on the phone screen. Yu Yan was stunned and picked it up. ¡°Are you home?¡± There was a bit of noise in the background at Yi Chen¡¯s end. ¡°Not yet, in the car.¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Where are you?¡± ¡°Airport.¡± ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°Business trip,¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Three days.¡± Yu Yan rolled down the window a bit. ¡°¡­Why is it so sudden?¡± ¡°An impromptu decision, just going there for an inspection, it¡¯s not a big matter.¡± Yi Chen handed the ticket to the staff at the counter as he continued speaking, ¡°I may not be able to ess the Inte these next few days.¡± ¡°That¡¯s fine.¡± Yu Yan looked in the driver¡¯s direction and lowered his voice as he said, ¡°We¡­ can still use voice and video calls.¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows as if he had thought of something. ¡°Did you forget somethingst night?¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°Ah. What did I forget?¡± The man¡¯s voice was serious. ¡°Forgot to call it out for me to hear.¡± The staff person at the counter who was checking in the boarding pass froze for a bit, but soon snapped out of it as well. She handed the boarding pass back with both hands, and with her smile not changing at all, said, ¡°Have a good trip.¡± Yu Yan choked. They had had a video call afterst night¡¯s stream. Yu Yan had been checking for parts needed while chatting, and had alreadypletely forgotten about that small interlude. Yi Chen took the boarding pass and asked him, ¡°Make it up to me today?¡± His life assistant, who was following him, had heard this entire conversation. His face was as calm as water, but his heart was experiencing earthquake-like tremors. Was his boss¡­ flirting?? Wait! When did his boss start dating? He spent more than ten hours every day following his boss around and taking care of everything, howe he¡¯d detected no signs of this??? Yu Yan¡¯s voice went quieter. ¡°L-let¡¯s talk about it tonight ba. Are you about to board the flight?¡± ¡°It¡¯s still early¡­¡± Yi Chen raised his eyes and motioned to the people behind him to go through the security check first. He would follow after them after having finished this call. ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you,¡± the assistant quickly said. Yi Chen nodded and walked to a quiet corner, leaving the two assistants to stand in their spot and look at each other with very confused eyes. Yi Chen didn¡¯t like to waste time in the airport. He would always step into the airport, and it wouldn¡¯t be long before he boarded the ne after receiving his boarding pass. So he couldn¡¯t chat for very long with Yu Yan before the broadcast system announcements started up. Finally, one of the assistants came forward and reminded him, ¡°President Yi, we¡¯re going to board the ne soon¡­¡± Yu Yan heard this, and immediately stopped speaking mid-sentence. ¡°Then, you should board the ne first.¡± ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen said, and got ready to hang up. ¡°Then, when you get off the ne, send me a message,¡± the other side said suddenly. Reporting a safending was amon practice, but Yi Chen seldom heard reminders of it. It was toomon for him to fly here and there; sometimes, he would go out on multiple business trips, and his friends wouldn¡¯t even know; his parents were always somewhere that had a big time difference with him. There was no one waiting for him to report his safending to them. Yi Chen held his cellphone, and his original feelings of being a little upset because of the impromptu business trip were suddenly soothed a lot. ¡°Alright.¡± After hanging up the phone, Yu Yan¡¯s smile deepened. ¡°Young man.¡± At the red light, the taxi driver stopped and chatted with him, ¡°Girlfriend ah?¡± Most taxi drivers loved chatting, and Yu Yan would usually be perfunctory, but this time he blinked and said, ¡°En¡­ sweetheart.¡± The word ¡°sweetheart¡± felt a bit awkwarding out of his mouth. Everyone was used to using ¡°boyfriend¡± or ¡°girlfriend¡±, so the taxi driver was stunned when he heard it. Then heughed and said, ¡°Oh, very good. At your age, you should date. You¡¯re so handsome, so there¡¯s probably a lot of young women who like you ba? Your girlfriend must constantly feel an impending sense of crisis.¡± ¡°No, no young women like me.¡± Yu Yan looked out of the window, thinking of his sweetheart. He couldn¡¯t help muttering, ¡°It¡¯s me who should be the one feeling an impending sense of crisis.¡± ¡ª As soon as Yu Yan started streaming today, his stream followers discovered some changes. [??? Has my near-sightedness been cured? All of a sudden, my field of vision is bright and not fuzzy at all¡­ Blu-Ray quality?] [I thought you went to Boss 1¡¯s house again, but one look at the background, and it¡¯s still just your small shabby house.] [Congrattions to Yanyan on getting a newputer~] [How much money did the anchor spend ah? Is it refreshing ying on it? Recently, I have also been wanting to change myputer, kneeling down and asking for a parts list!] ¡°I changed out the main processor.¡± Yu Yan quoted the price and said, ¡°I looked up the information by myself, put it together casually. It¡¯s not very professional¡­ If everyone wants it, I¡¯ll put up the hardware list on the public screenter.¡± As soon as he said that, the private messages notification icon beside his video screen shed violently. Because of his growing poprity, Yu Yan had started receiving more and more private messages. Normally, he couldn¡¯t read them all, so he had adjusted his settings. Only those private messages from stream followers on his livestream¡¯s star offering list would appear with a shing prompt¡ªto make it convenient for bosses to get on the bus. He started the game on theputer while opening his private messages with the tform¡¯s livestreaming app on his phone. [Nimble Electronics: Hello yanxyan! I¡¯m an employee of Nimble, and we want to discuss a coboration with you. Would you like to add your contact information for more details?] Ever since the end of the annual g, Yu Yan had already received many private messages of this kind. Most of them wanted him to advertise for them. Some of them were selling high-quality imitation shoes, some were selling kittens and puppies, and one had even wanted him to join the entertainment business¡­ His understanding of this advertising aspect was zero, and even checking their information wouldn¡¯t produce urate information, so he didn¡¯t dare to agree, and had directly refused all of them. After all, these things would be used by fans, and before getting some kind of guarantee, he couldn¡¯t publicize anything just like that. But Nimble was different. Nimble was a very famous gaming equipmentpany, to the extent that many professional yers privately chose to use their brand of gaming equipment. Recently, Nimble had also signed a contract with CN7, and even had well-known teams representing them in all the three major games¡ªLoL, PUBG and DOTA. It was basically the equivalent of StarTV in the gaming equipment industry. All of the equipment Yu Yan had noted down when he had gone to Yi Chen¡¯s house was also from Nimble. Thus, he hesitated for a moment and didn¡¯t directly refuse. After confirming the identity of the other party, he sent his WeChat contact details over. Not long after Yi Chen got off the ne, he received a call from Mo Nancheng. ¡°Heard you came to M City?¡± Yi Chen sat in the back seat of the car and asked in a light tone, ¡°How did you know?¡± ¡°I met Manager Wu at breakfast today, and he said that your ne wasing in at noon.¡± Mo Nancheng¡¯s tone was a bit different than usual, it seemed to be a bit listless. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t rush to work at noon, let¡¯s have a meal together ba.¡± ¡°No,¡± said Yi Chen. Mo Nancheng replied, ¡°I¡¯m begging you, I¡¯ve already booked the restaurant, and I¡¯ve prepared the wine, five figures guaranteed. You can drink whatever you want, and if you don¡¯t want to drink it, you can even dump it in the water.¡± Yi Chen wasn¡¯t interested in his wine and was even less interested in sprinkling it into the water. However, he didn¡¯t think Mo Nancheng¡¯s tone was quite right. Mo Nancheng was the kind of person who was careless and casual, extremely proud of his sesses, and it was rare for him to not have a smile on his face. So, they met in arge restaurant located on a ship at noon. Mo Nancheng said, ¡°This ce¡¯s seafood is especially fresh, try it!¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to the branch office at two.¡± Yi Chen sat down and wiped his fingertips with a hot towel. ¡°If you have something to say, just say it, or there won¡¯t be time.¡± It had taken him a lot of time to rush here from the airport. Now, it was already half past one. The rtionship between the two of them was so good that Mo Nancheng didn¡¯t need to waste any extraneous words with him. ¡°Can you check the address of a female anchor for me¡­¡± ¡°No way.¡± Yi Chen refused without even thinking about it. ¡°¡­¡­¡± Mo Nancheng¡¯s smile dimmed a bit. ¡°Don¡¯t be like this. If you don¡¯t agree, I¡¯ll have to use illegal means.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°So your meaning here is that you want me to go call the police?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t ah,¡± Mo Nancheng said with a mournful expression. Yi Chen leisurely picked out the fish bones. ¡°Who are you looking for? Tuantuan?¡± Mo Nancheng thought that he now had a chance and hurriedly said, ¡°No! It¡¯s Lulu!¡± This time, without waiting for Yi Chen to ask, he exined it all by himself, ¡°That day at the g, I had too much to drink, and got a room with her¡­ The next day though, when I woke up, she was gone, and I hadn¡¯t asked for her name the previous night. I spent a whole day searching for her through all your livestream channels before finding her. Yet in the end, even after I sent several messages on the public screen, she ignored me and even banned me¡­¡± If this woman was switched to someone else, and if they had left, and he didn¡¯t get sick from them¡ªthen that would have been fine. But he had really liked Lulu. He had thought that the two of them had been especially well-matched. But obviously, he was the only one who had felt that way. Yi Chen said, ¡°Her leaving in the morning meant that she wasn¡¯t interested in you. You¡¯re well-experienced, and you can¡¯t fail in understanding this point.¡± Mo Nancheng replied, ¡°But I still have to try and win her over. If it works, that¡¯s good, and if it doesn¡¯t, then I¡¯ll just forget about it.¡± ¡°Then you go and try to win her over.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°I can¡¯t help you.¡± ¡°How hard is it? Just transfer out her information to me, and I¡¯ll have a look. I¡¯m chasing her, not doing anything bad¡­¡± It was true that Mo Nancheng wasn¡¯t the type to do bad things, and it could be seen clearly that he was really sincere this time. But emotions were emotions, and principles were principles. ¡°No way.¡± Yi Chen looked down at his wristwatch, then got up. ¡°I¡¯m going to thepany now, I¡¯ll pay for this meal.¡± ¡°Yi Chen.¡± These past few days, Mo Nancheng had been seething with anger over getting blocked by that shabby little livestream, and upon getting rejected by his best bro now, he became annoyed immediately. He got up, swallowed down his anger, and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t transfer the information to me, but you¡¯re the boss, and she should recognize you. You can go help me reconnect with her, that isn¡¯t so difficult ba?¡± Yi Chen frowned and was about to say something¡ª But his little action of frowning became the me that instantly ignited Mo Nancheng. ¡°This expression again.¡± It was as though Mo Nancheng had reached the end of his forbearance. He stood up with aplicated expression and suddenly asked, ¡°Yi Chen, are you the only person in your world, and you hold no one else in regard? Is there nobody who is worthy of a shred of your effort?¡± Yi Chen paused a bit while adjusting the cuffs of his shirt, and his eyes held a trace of confusion. That seemed to be thest straw that broke the camel¡¯s back. Mo Nancheng said, ¡°You know, when I go out and tell others that I¡¯m your good bro, do you know how they all look at me? They all think I¡¯m ridiculous. After all, Yi Chen, what do you see me as? You see me as a boot-licker, a fool who sticks his hot face to your cold ass every day. What bro am I calling myself here, isn¡¯t that all a joke?¡± ¡°I sometimes also wonder why I fucking have to hold onto you all day long. Yes, your family¡¯s business is big, but I don¡¯tck any meals from you. We¡¯ve known each other for a long time, but I¡¯m always the fucking one to take the intiative to invite you out, and I even have to beg, plead, and wait upon you toe. You¡¯re handsome, but that has fuck all to do with me, I¡¯m so straight, I could shoot up into the sky.¡± ¡°Then, I understood.¡± Mo Nancheng said all this, and then paused. In fact, he already had some regrets, but he had already said this much, and stopping this speech was already out of his control¡ª¡ª ¡°I thought you seemed pitiful.¡± Yi Chen stood upright, motionless and still, his face unchanged, but his eyes were heavy enough to scare people. ¡°Everyone always says, you, Yi Chen, are so awesome, so amazing. You just took over thepany, and you pressed down on that group of rtives until they didn¡¯t even dare to show their faces. Over the past few years, thepany has grownrger andrger.¡± ¡°But what else do you have besides money?¡± Mo Nancheng asked. ¡°Friends¡ªif you leave out your business partners, do you even need one hand to count up the number of friends you have?¡± ¡°Family¡ªI won¡¯t mention those rtives of yours, but even with Yi Ran, who you¡¯re closer to¡ªhe¡¯s no different from me in your eyes, all of us are just boot-licking dogs. Your parents¡ªI fear they only think that their son is a Philistine, not caring about anything else but making money.¡± ¡°Love¡­ haha.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve nearly turned into a machine¡­ so you tell me, are you pitiful or not?¡± Mo Nancheng had thought that he was in a rage, but the more he said, the more upset he got, and the worse he felt. The two of them remained silent for a long time after this. The assistants standing below didn¡¯t even dare to breathe, and no one dared to remind Yi Chen that it was time to go. After a while, it was Yi Chen who made the first move. He didn¡¯t change his posture, and he didn¡¯t get angry or ridicule him. He just asked, ¡°Are you finished?¡± Mo Nancheng: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°If so, I¡¯m leaving.¡± Yi Chen fastened hisst cuff link and took two steps forward. Then he stopped. ¡°Although I don¡¯t really want to discuss these meaningless matters with you, I think it¡¯s necessary to make a correction.¡± He looked sideways at Mo Nancheng. ¡°I have a boyfriend.¡± Mo Nancheng was shocked and abruptly spun his head around. ¡°That little anchor?¡± ¡°It has nothing to do with you.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s tone was light, but his eyes were cold. ¡°Also, if you really like a person, you should respect her choice and follow her ideas instead of osting her at her door.¡± Having finished saying that, Yi Chen left without looking back, bringing in a cool breeze. When he got off the ship, the assistant hurried to meet him and asked cautiously, ¡°President Yi¡­ Where are we going?¡± They¡¯d been quarreling so violently up there just now. If it was a normal person, they wouldn¡¯t be able to go work ba. Yi Chen got into the car. ¡°Thepany.¡± After a while, the ck car started. Yi Chen looked out of the window. Because of the material of the ss, even the best scenery would get covered with ayer of lifeless grey. Atst, there was a slight crack in his expression. He subconsciously picked up his cellphone, and before he could react, he had already sent a message. 1: Yanyan. After looking at this message, he kept feeling like it was a bit dumb. Yi Chen opened the chat dialog box and just wanted to type ¡°It¡¯s nothing¡±, but before he could finish typing those words, his palm felt a bit of vibration. Little Anchor: What¡¯s the matter? Little Anchor: [picture] There was a bowl of hot and sour noodles with steam stilling out of it in the picture. It looked really delicious. Little Anchor: I¡¯m having lunch. The hot and sour noodles from this shop are really tasty. Next time youe to Manyang¡­ I¡¯ll take you to this shop to eat. Little Anchor: Have you eaten yet? Yi Chen held his cell phone tightly. He repeatedly opened the picture of the hot and sour noodles, and it felt like his originally unsettled heart had been safely and securely scooped up, and had even been kissed gently. 1: Nothing much. 1: Just miss you a little. ¡ª Juurensha: So sweet! (Although Yi Chen, you should probably talk to Yanyan about your fight with your bestie). Regarding the fight, I feel like while Yi Chen was in the right for not giving Mo Nancheng Lulu¡¯s info (Mo Nancheng, that¡¯s veering into stalker territory, and trying to convince your friend to use his authority over her as her boss to force her to talk to you is really not cool either), I also feel like Mo Nancheng has been biting back a lot of things he¡¯s wanted toin about about Yi Chen. He definitely didn¡¯t have to be as mean and brutal as he was about it, like that went way over the line, but I have thought that Yi Chen doesn¡¯t seem to treat him especially well. It does feel like sometimes he was just putting up with him, but if you¡¯re besties, it has to be a two-way street. xiin: ¡­ i want to stab Mo Nancheng wtf Noks: That was brutal, Mo Nancheng.

Chapter 78 - Towards Yi Chen, he could mostly be persuaded through gentleness or through force Chapter 78 - Towards Yi Chen, he could mostly be persuaded through gentleness or through force Edited by xiin and Noks By the time the inspection finished, it was already 7 p.m. ¡°Order dinner for all the overtime workers.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°A nutritious meal.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± The life assistant arranged it right away. He had originally been worried about whether the quarrel at noon would affect the boss¡¯ mood at work. However, he was clearly just being oversensitive. Yi Chen was as usual¡ªserious and strict¡ªand every question he asked was right to the point. Just when the assistant thought that this afternoon¡¯s matter was going to pass by just like that, the man seated in the back seat suddenly opened his mouth. ¡°Go and find out if Mo Nancheng has had any conflict with anyone recently.¡± The assistant froze. ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°And the Mo family¡¯s situation, investigate that as well.¡± ¡°¡­¡­ understood.¡± The assistant was left in aplicated mood now. Mr. Mo had just had a quarrel with the boss at noon, and now the boss was checking the Mo family¡¯s situation¡­This was just too scary. Could it be that this was the portrayal of the legend of ¡°It¡¯s cold, let the Wang Group go bankrupt¡±? Mr. Mo was really something too, eating amiably one minute, and suddenly ring up the next¡ªeven if it had been someone else in this situation, they¡¯d be angry too. But didn¡¯t Mr. Mo count as President Yi¡¯s closest friend until now ba? Although Mr. Mo¡¯s outburst this time was a little puzzling, he could still be said to be President Yi¡¯s oldest friend ah¡­ Thinking about it a bit more deeply, both of them seemed to have some problems. The assistant noted down the boss¡¯s instructions while saying to himself¡ª ¡°Sure enough, capitalism is merciless.¡± ¨C Yu Yan discussed things with Nimble¡¯s manager for a few days. Sure enough, the other side wanted him to help them with publicity. He wasn¡¯t going to be a spokesperson; they simply wanted him to advertise a mouse through both microblogging and his livestream. Yu Yan still felt some hesitation. After Yi Chen returned from his business trip, Yu Yan told him the whole story. Yu Yan: Do you think it¡¯s okay if I take it? 1: Why not? Yu Yan: Just¡­ I think it¡¯s strange. The spokespeople for Nimble are all so powerful, so why did theye find me? There are a lot of lines in the contract too. I read it over several times, but I didn¡¯t find any loopholes. Once bitten, twice shy. His previous contract, the one with StarTV, was signed only after Yu Minyang saw it in person. However, Yu Minyang had taken on a big case this time. Yu Yan only found out yesterday that the other party had been so busy that he hadn¡¯t even been home in two days. Naturally, he would feel embarrassed to trouble him with this matter at such a time. 1: Send it to me for a look. Ten minutester, the Yi family¡¯s personalwyers received the document. Soon, in a secret group chat, thesewyers were having a heated discussion. Lawyer 1: Have you guys received the coboration contract from President Yi? Lawyer 2: Yes¡­ what¡¯s the meaning of it ah? Is there anything wrong with this contract? Lawyer 3: Obviously not. It¡¯s easy to understand, and there are no mistakes or omissions. Lawyer 4: The problem is, such simple terms and costs¡­ Why did President Yi want to send something like this to us, and he even sent it to the whole group?! The group chat fell silent. Lawyer 2: I think there¡¯s a problem. Lawyer 3: Me too. Lawyer 1: I¡¯ll have another look, look again. The next morning, Yu Yan was awakened by the sound of a video call. As soon as the video connected, Yi Chen saw only ck hair, as the young man had buried his face in the pillow. Nothing else could be seen of him, and his voice was stuffy. ¡°&#k2026;What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with that contract, you can sign it.¡± It was the weekend, and Yi Chen hadn¡¯t gone to thepany. He leaned on the sofa, raised his eyebrow, and asked, ¡°Still sleeping?¡± ¡°En, streamed kind ofte yesterday¡­¡± Yi Chen looked at the time and said, ¡°Get up first.¡± Yu Yan raised his head, and two big panda-like dark circles hung under his eyes. Whenever Yi Chen yed and streamed online with Yu Yan, he would urge him to end the stream at 11:00 p.m. on the dot. However, since he had been on a business trip the past few days, he hadn¡¯t paid attention to these things. He hadn¡¯t known whichte hour this person had been streaming till. Yu Yan already possessed a soft heart and couldn¡¯t bear to say ¡°no¡± when being begged by the audience. The amount of overtime he had done this month was enough to scare people. No matter how young he was, he couldn¡¯t keep going like this. Yi Chen frowned, and repeated his words with a tone that was much more serious, ¡°Get up, Yanyan.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s sleepiness instantly dissipated. He didn¡¯t know why, but since a few days ago, Yi Chen had suddenly started calling him Yanyan, and hadn¡¯t changed from using that even in theirter chats. It was alright when he read it in WeChat, now that it had turned into saying it with his actual voice, Yu Yan¡¯s heart started fluttering. He sat up. ¡°¡­I¡¯m getting up now.¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t waste any words. Once Yu Yan got up, he said straightforwardly, ¡°In the future, shorten the duration of your livestreams a bit.¡± There was no question in his tone, and it didn¡¯t sound like a discussion either. Yu Yan bit his toothbrush and couldn¡¯t answer in time. He blinked his eyshes, his eyes full of doubts. ¡°12 hours is too long. I have seen the data, and the average time other resident anchors livestream for is seven hours.¡± After Yi Chen finished talking, he pulled out a stack of documents and tossed them in front of his cellphone. ¡°Lack of sleep will not only affect the quality of your livestream, but more so, it¡¯ll even affect your body. You¡¯re still young, don¡¯t mess around during your growth period.¡± Yu Yan hurriedly rinsed out his mouth and said, ¡°I¡¯m a new anchor, and a longer livestream time gives me an advantage.¡± ¡°So after being a little popr for a few years, you¡¯ll then stream while you¡¯re sick?¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I¡¯m in very good health.¡± ¡°The benefits of youth¡ªdon¡¯t squander it.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I¡¯ll be careful. In fact, I make sure to sleep for eight hours or more¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯re working long, odd hours. It¡¯ll be toote for regrets if you don¡¯t adjust it now.¡± At the end of his sermon, Yi Chen softened his voice and said, ¡°Be good.¡± Yu Yan could be persuaded with gentleness, but not with force. However towards Yi Chen, he could mostly be persuaded through gentleness or through force. He said, ¡°¡­then you say, what time do you want me to change it to?¡± Yi Chen thought a little. ¡°Two to five in the afternoon.¡± ¡°?!¡± Yu Yan blurted out, ¡°Do you want me to retire?¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Then you tell me.¡± Yu Yan tentatively suggested, ¡°From 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.?¡± ¡°Two to six.¡± ¡°¡­¡­ One to nine.¡± ¡°Two to seven.¡± ¡°Two¡­ to nine o¡¯clock.¡± Yi Chen heard the figure he had originally anticipated¡ªa full seven hours¡ªjust reaching the average duration for a streamer. He was satisfied, but his expression remained calm. ¡°Deal.¡± When Yu Yan announced the news in the livestream, his stream followers all fell into a daze. Then, after a moment of lull, the lines being sent on the barrage filled up the entire screen. [Son, you¡¯re drifting away!!!] [What can you do in seven hours? It¡¯ll be over in just a few matches ah, not okay! I¡¯m not allowing this!!] [Inted, originally he¡¯s an anchor relying on duration, but now that he¡¯s gotten a little fame, he¡¯s going to toss his own forte away?] [It feels like a business that grabbed people with ads about high quality low price items and then jacked up the prices¡­ it¡¯s the same as being cheated.] [No way, are all those above who are cursing out Xiao Yan serious? Do you think 12 hours a day is reasonable? You try sitting 12 hours before theputer every day and ying 12 hours of games every day. After a long time, your body will really be overtaxed.] ¡°When I started streaming, I said that it was tentatively scheduled tost 12 hours a day.¡± Yu Yan continued, ¡°I have been broadcasting this way for several months now, and changing the time at this point¡­ shouldn¡¯t count as me cheating anyone ba.¡± Just after he finished speaking, a dazzlingly colorful name, different from that of ordinary stream followers, appeared on the public screen. [Good Show: It doesn¡¯t count, I only livestream for 7 hours a day. If I go over, I take a break, and if I go under, I won¡¯t make it up [Shh]] The barrage came to a halt for a moment. Everyone acted in concert and without any prior consultation when they went to open up this person¡¯s profile to check whether he was the real one or not. [?] [Why the hell are you here?!] [You¡¯re not conducting your own stream, and you¡¯re running to other anchors instead to persuade them to shorten the duration of their livestreams?? Are you a devil ba?] Yu Yan was also stunned. ¡°Good Show¡­ How are you in my stream?¡± When anchors entered the livestreams of other anchors, they would also have exclusive entry prompts and special effects that announced their presence, so big-name anchors usually didn¡¯t use their main ounts when visiting. Yu Yan was very sure that he hadn¡¯t seen the prompt banner indicating that Good Show had entered his livestream. [Good Show: I was already inside the stream before you had started livestreaming!] [Good Show: I was waiting for you to carry me in PUBG.] ¡°¡­¡± If Good Show had invited him to y the game in private, Yu Yan would have found a reason to refuse. But now, the other party was in his livestream, and that too on the public screen, half joking and half begging for him to carry him, which made refusing a bit tricky. Yu Yan wasn¡¯t a fool, and when he thought of the past events at the g, he could vaguely see that Yi Chen didn¡¯t seem to like Good Show very much. Seeing that Yu Yan wasn¡¯t talking, the dazzlingly colorful name jumped out again. [Good Show: Xiao Yan, don¡¯t be silent ahhhhhhh.] [Lololololol, Good Show asking to be carried in PUBG and being miserably rejected, it¡¯s too awful ba] [You¡¯re the worst big anchor I¡¯ve ever seen.] [You¡¯re joking, StarTV¡¯s No. 1 anchor Good Show.] While the barrage was quarreling, Yu Yan thought about it and decided to send Yi Chen a message first. Yu Yan: ¡­Good Show came looking for me to carry him in PUBG. 1£º£¿ 1: Do you want to y with him? Yu Yan: No. He was telling the truth. Yi Chen had entered the livestream while they were chatting. He just happened to see the stream followers joking about Good Show, and after reading three or two words, he instantly understood the situation. Looking at the dazzlingly colorful name on the public screen, Yi Chen squinted. 1: It¡¯s fine, let hime. Yu Yan: ¡­.Ah. Yu Yan: Or how about I throw him into the pit for two matches¡­? This way, he shouldn¡¯t want me to carry him anymore. Seeing this sentence, Yi Chenughed. How can Yanyan¡¯s way of caring¡­ be so funny and cute? 1: No need, you y well. Yu Yan: Okay ba. In half a minute¡ª¡ª 1: I logged in. 1: Pull me in. Yu Yan: ¡­ Yu Yan: ? ¡ª Juurensha: Boss Yi, finally able to take a stand against Good Show hahahaha. Yanyan has been working too hard though, so it¡¯s good he¡¯s down to a more normal 7 hours. Noks: Hahaha, I bet it¡¯s gonna turn into apetition of who Yanyan gives the guns to¡­ and it¡¯s obvious that Boss Yi will win!!!

Chapter 79 - Dont make yourself into a garbage dump Chapter 79 - Don¡¯t make yourself into a garbage dump Edited by xiin and Noks Yu Yan pulled the two of them into the game, only to see two poor figures in white clothes and grey trousers standing side by side. The new face on the right looked really garish and gaudy. It was a female character wearing a dark grey miniskirt and tight ck suspenders, with a red scarf tied around the neck, and the ID below this avatar was XiaogegeMua. ? Yu Yan¡¯s expression wasplicated as he asked, ¡°Good Show, your character¡­¡­¡± ¡°Pretty ba?¡± Good Showughed. ¡°While wearing these clothes and carrying this name, no matter how noob I y, no one curses me out.¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Then what about when you speak?¡± It was quiet for a while, but soon, the microphone icon in the game brightened again. ¡°Little Gege, can you take me to nom on chicken ma?¡± A female voice rang out, and there was no difference between Good Show¡¯s way of speaking and the voice of a female anchor, with the low tones of a man havingpletely disappeared. Yu Yan was shocked and praised from the bottom of his heart, ¡°Awesome.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Good Show¡¯s voice changed again, this time to a domineering Jie¡¯s voice, carrying anguid tone and sounding especially seductive. ¡°This sound card is expensive, but sadly LoL doesn¡¯t have an open all-world voice channel, so it can¡¯t be properly used¡­ Why do you think I have to learn to y PUBG?¡± It was too honest a confession. The fledgling little anchor waspletely dazzled by Good Show. [Sit down, sit down, operate normally!] [Good Show¡¯s livestream is really wonderful. Otherwise, how did you think that a random LoL yer could spread and be known all over the world?] [Lolololololol, it¡¯s like Xiao Yan has opened the door to a whole new world.] ¡°But you¡¯re also really powerful.¡± Good Show said, ¡°I still have to use a sound card over here, you don¡¯t even need a sound card.¡± Yu Yan froze, and then realized that what the other side was talking about was the game from before, the one where he had pretended to be a girl. That was pretty much his dark history, and those sound clips had also been edited and spread by fans. Everyday, whenever he saw the @him on Weibo on such posts, he felt so ashamed. ¡°I was in a bit of a panic that time,¡± Yu Yan said. ¡°Were you? I thought it sounded pretty nice! Or, how about you do it again?¡± Good Show said with augh. ¡°You¡¯re younger than me ba? Call out a Gege for me to hear¡­ Who¡¯s the other person in the team? A boss of the stream?¡± ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen had on a skin-deep smile as he said, ¡°We meet again.¡± Good Show: ¡°¡­.¡± This voice was too familiar, and Good Show¡¯s impression of the voice¡¯s owner was very deep, so he almost instantly recognized him. He froze and quickly stared at the screen. [Yep, it¡¯s the big boss of Xiao Yan¡¯s stream, Boss 1.] [Look up at the star offering list, he¡¯s the first one there.] ¡ªThen you guys should have given me a fucking head¡¯s up earlier ah. He had already sensed that something was off at the g itself. The atmosphere between these two people had been so strange, and now it seemed like&#k2026; ¡°I¡¯m kidding&#k2026;¡± Good Show said. ¡°Yi Gege.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s left elbow was propped up on theputer desk, with his thumb jabbing into his lower lip, and his eyes immediately shifted away from the camera. He learned very quickly and called out in a vague manner, ¡°Yi Gege, click to queue.¡± [?] [??? You¡¯re all very flirty ah??] [!?! As a 1YanTang girl, I¡¯m going to send little stars to Good Show¡¯s livestream now! Thank you for your kindness! Give me a callter if you need anything!!] Yi Chen was also in a rarely seen stunned state. He raised his eyebrows, and the slight re of anger that had just risen up was stamped out until not even a flicker of it was left. Yu Yan¡¯s neck had turned red by the time he finished calling Yi Chen, and his white T-shirt couldn¡¯t cover it. He ignored the mor in the barrage and ran all the way to the seaside after entering Manners za. ¡°¡­¡­¡± Good Show said, ¡°As expected, you¡¯re still the awesome one.¡± Passer-by No. 3 immediately turned on his mic. ¡°Little Jiejie, who¡¯s awesome?¡± ¡°You¡¯re awesome,¡± Good Show quickly picked up the thread of the conversation and praised, ¡°You look at your mask, it costs more than 1000 yuan. If you¡¯re not awesome, who¡¯s awesome ya?¡± No. 3 immediately said, ¡°If you like it, I¡¯ll take it off and give it to you.¡± Good Show asked, ¡°Can you really?¡± ¡°Sure, do you want the underwear too? I¡¯ll give everything to you.¡± No. 3 hehe-d. [Crap, where did this wretched mane from?] [Retreat, retreat, retreat, what kind of shabby thing is this, I feel ufortable.] Theputer version was different from the mobile version, you couldn¡¯t block only one teammate¡¯s voice in theputer version. Yu Yan immediately shut down the game voice channel and said, ¡°Betting has been opened for this match, and there¡¯s no way to retreat. I¡¯ll block the voice channel first and only turn it on again when we¡¯re about to jump off the ne.¡± It seemed that Good Show also thought that this person had some problems, so he didn¡¯t respond to him anymore. After the ne took off, Yu Yan opened the map, and No. 3 marked the Military Base. No. 3 asked, ¡°Does little Jiejie want to jump to the Military Base? There¡¯s a lot of people, and it¡¯s very exciting.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t really know how to y.¡± Good Show didn¡¯t give a very firm refusal. He was different from other novices, he had enough techniques to kill someone piled all the way up; he knew all the basics of the game way too well. He had learned to search for things and everything else, but also thought that it would be good for him to gather some more practical experience. ¡°No problem, I¡¯ll protect you!¡± ¡°Then Xiao Yan, where are you jumping to?¡± Good Show asked. Yu Yan marked a point in the upper city district. ¡°The two of us will jump here. 1, just jump to the building I marked.¡± Yi Chen put down his papers. Although it was the weekend, it was still the end of the year, and he had brought some work back home. ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll jump with you guys,¡± Good Show immediately said. ¡°Are you a man ah, No. 2? Are you jumping there to be a dog in the upper city?¡± No. 3 finished talking, then added in a low voice, ¡°Fucking wussy dog.¡± Yu Yan was No. 2. He seldom said dirty words during his livestream, and had never even quarrelled with his stream followers or teammates. Moreover, the Inte was so huge, and there were all kinds of people present there. Really getting into it with all these kinds of people would be too tiring. He didn¡¯t n on answering to such an insult, but the stream followers in the barrage couldn¡¯t listen to No. 3 anymore, and so all of them started fighting back in thements. Yu Yan was just nning on telling everyone to not waste their efforts on this kind of person when¡ª ¡°Your mouth is so dirty, do you use it to wash the bathroom?¡± Yi Chen asked. Good Show hastily followed up with, ¡°No. 3, you¡¯re not interesting like that ah.¡± No. 3 was stunned and said, ¡°No.1, am I talking to you? What are you doing replying so fast? Little Jiejie, it¡¯s fine, I¡¯m just kidding, okay ba.¡± He said he was joking, but there seemed to be a trace of reluctance in his tone when he said it. Finally, the four peoplended in the upper urban area together. The route the flight took was a little far away from the upper urban area, so it could only be reached by either opening their parachute early or driving. Therefore, no one elsended with them, and they were the only team there. The only disadvantage was that they were not in the circle. After searching for ten minutes, Yu Yan collected his gun, went out, got into the car he had found before, and drove all the way to the house where Yi Chen was located. He said, ¡°1¡­¡­ Come out, let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°What kind of car is it ah?¡± Good Show asked. ¡°A buggy.¡± Buggies could only hold 2 people, so Yu Yan said, ¡°I¡¯ll go ahead on the road, and if I see a car, I¡¯lle back to pick you guys up. There should be a lot of cars around here, you guys alsoe out and take a look.¡± ¡°Hello, wait. You take the little Jiejie away,¡± No. 3 said, ¡°Ladies first, don¡¯t you understand that ah?¡± Yu Yan was toozy to talk to him, but since he kept pushing him, Yu Yan said, ¡°Then do you understand that men and women are equal?¡± Having finished saying that, Yu Yan didn¡¯t even turn his head and picked up Yi Chen, then leaving the area. Entering the circle, Yu Yan looked around a couple of houses, and first threw down a sniper rifle and a 4x scope. ¡°Do you want them?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯ll try the two in my hands today.¡± Yi Chen dropped an 8x scope and said, ¡°Since it¡¯s a 98K, you can install this ba.¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°Okay.¡± These words were heard by Good Show. He and No. 3 had finally entered the circle together, after which they ran to the house, and asked, ¡°Xiao Yan, old rules, how about I pay you 100 for your 98K?¡± ¡°His gun isn¡¯t okay.¡± Yi Chen looked at the two SKSs with 2x scopes on his back and said, ¡°I have a 4x scope here. I¡¯ll sell it to you at 50, do you want it?¡± How could Good Show not fucking want it ah? ¡°Want, want, want, toss it over ba. I¡¯ll give you money via WeChat.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s tone was light. ¡°No need, you just directly give him gifts.¡± ¡°I think you two lordships are very interesting.¡± No. 3 said, ¡°This Meizi asked you for a gun. Wouldn¡¯t it be fine if you just gave it? But then you¡¯re even charging money, has money just wormed its way into your eyes?¡± Yu Yan actually had often lended his gun out when he had yed as an apanying yer. After all, as long as the boss was happy, he didn¡¯t mind it, and it was the same while ying with friends. However, his livestream was an entirely different issue. In order to ensure the quality of the stream, he had to work hard to make it into the final circle. The only exception was Yi Chen. Yu Yan had to admit that he had his own selfish motives there. And all the stream followers knew that Yi Chen was the big boss of his studio, thus had never said anything about it. Yu Yan said, ¡°I see you have an M24 on your back. That¡¯s better, you give it to her ba.¡± ¡°Me?¡± No. 3, who was presently at quite a distance away from their two houses, paused for a bit before continuing, ¡°I¡¯m so far away from you guys, it¡¯s not convenient toe and go ah¡­¡± This person was a model example of someone who was free with other people¡¯s money. Yu Yan ignored him, but his disgust was clearly already disyed on his face. [Xiao Yan is angry, hahahaha, his lips are all pursed.] [True lividness.] At this time, they met an enemy team. That team had juste out of the school and so was loaded with stuff. They were carrying three full M4s. As soon as they rushed up, it resulted in a direct gunfight. Good Show was the first to be knocked down. Yi Chen had an Uzi in his hands, which wasn¡¯t easy to use. He fell to the ground after a few seconds of fighting against the other team. No. 3 saw this and sneered, ¡°No. 1, you¡¯re too noob, but you still have the guts to ask someone for a 98K ah?¡± [Is there something wrong with this guy, when did Boss 1 ever ask for the 98K??] [He¡¯s a fool, everyone don¡¯t get angry.] While they were talking, the team that had rushed up had already been killed by them. Out of them all, Yu Yan had hit and killed three of them. After clearing out the enemy, No. 3 immediately went to loot things. Everyone had thought that the recent quarrel had already ended, but who would have expected Yu Yan to suddenly turn his mic on after putting his gun away. ¡°Why don¡¯t you see what exactly you are? The person you killed was maimed by No. 1 before. You just seized a weak point, and you¡¯re that proud of yourself?¡± Yu Yan continued, ¡°You go over to the ce where you just killed that person and look, how many bullet holes are yours? One out of 30, are you the master of outlining a body?¡± No one had expected him to curse someone out. Within a moment, the barrage screen immediately filled with 666s. No. 3 replied, ¡°My ass, I shot and hit several times¡­ That person took a first-aid kid, okay ba?¡± ¡°I was killing other people, but I¡¯m not blind.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s voice was cold. ¡°If you¡¯re going to lie down and eat chicken, shut up and quietly lie there, don¡¯t make yourself into a garbage dump.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Oooooo, vicious Yanyan. That¡¯s what you get for attacking Boss Yi in front of him! And hahaha, I think we found out which friend Yanyan talked to about getting a voice changer for Huanhuan now in GHFOD¡­. Noks: Yanyan will only get riled up if someone insults his Yi Gege. As a 1YanTang fan, I support this attitude wholeheartedly! Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! And there¡¯s an audio drama for PUBG that came out! It¡¯s more condensed than the novel, but it¡¯s fun! And check out our fanart/fanfic page! Chapter 80 - BreaChapter of contract Chapter 80 - BreaChapter of contract Edited by Noks, Divetus, and xiin No. 3 felt that his face had beenpletely lost, and so opened his mouth to retort and curse, releasing a stream of words in his home dialect. Although most people couldn¡¯t understand what was being said, considering all the ¡°fuck¡± and ¡°damn¡± in that tirade, it was obvious that it couldn¡¯t be anything good. Someone jumped out of the barrage at once. [Wtf, this dialect is actually from our area, but we don¡¯t recognize this grandson. You can beat him as you like.] Even if Good Show was used to witnessing such a scene, it was usually just in the form of written attacks in LoL or in the barrage, which wasn¡¯t as exciting as hearing it in person. He couldn¡¯te up with anything to say anything for awhile. Yu Yan didn¡¯t speak either. He revived 1 and turned around and walked out of the small house. No. 3 was looting a box in the corner. While passing by, Yu Yan opened the two boxes in the middle and nced inside them. It was obvious that all the good things had already been looted. No. 3 was still cursing, ¡°&¡­. %£¤# What bs thing, just ying a game gives you a sense of superiority? Little Jiejie, I¡¯ve picked up an extra sniper silencer. Let me give it to you¡­.WTF!!!¡± In the middle of No. 3¡¯s on-going speech, countless shots rang out. Yu Yan¡¯s face had already returned to normal. After turning around the corner, he had raised his gun, and with a sweep of gunfire, had knocked down No. 3. ¡°ying games doesn¡¯t give you a sense of superiority. But at least in the game, if I want you to die, you have to obediently lie down.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°A quack should still have the qualities of a quack. You don¡¯t help revive others, but you¡¯re still the first to grab a gun while looting. You really are a Didi.¡± In the semi-final circle, the number of survivors left was less than 20, and so it looked like they were about to eat chicken. No. 3 was fully equipped, and he had even secretly looted a level 3 helmet. However, even before he could even warm up the helmet, he was thrown to the ground and then mocked for a while. No. 3¡¯s face turned red with anger. ¡°You¡¯re the one sneaking in from behind, and then you¡¯re talking this bullshit? If you have the ability,e help daddy up, and we¡¯ll see who kills who?? You¡¯re a¡­. £¤%#!¡± [This person is really shameless. Just based on this shooting technique, if you casually drag Boss 1 or Good Show to fight against him, I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t be able to even beat them!] [Lolololol, person above, if you want to curse someone out, just curse them out. How can you humiliate your own people?] [This game is too exhrating ba?! I usually y LoL, and whenever I encounter the masterpieces of keyboard warriors, I get angry enough to fly off the handle because I can¡¯t kill my teammates!!!] Everyone thought Yu Yan would continue to jeer, but unexpectedly, he suddenlyughed. ¡°You speak so much, but who is the one kneeling now?¡± He didn¡¯t n to waste any more time here after saying that. So many shots had been fired just now, and he didn¡¯t know if there were any teams nearby who might¡¯ve heard it ande to investigate. He ignored No. 3¡¯s insults and was just about to kill him off when he heard a heavy thump. [Yii11c eliminated forerunner747 with an S686] Yi Chen jumped onto the fence and with the attitude of looking down upon someone, killed him off. Yu Yan was stunned, and his first reaction was to ask, ¡°¡­Where did you get an S686?¡± ¡°I wanted to kill him, I just picked it up in the house.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°I wasn¡¯t sure if the gun was stable and could kill him right away¡± Yet, as a result, while he was away picking up guns, No. 3 had already been knocked down. ¡­afraid it couldn¡¯t kill him. Yu Yan resistedughing aloud and opened No. 3¡¯s box. ¡°Come, take his gun, and take all of this level 3 armor.¡± Good Show, who had also looted a level 3 armor on his end, asked, ¡°Xiao Yan, I also have a level 3 armor here, do you want it?¡± ¡°This team is really plump ba.¡± Yu Yan finished looting what he needed, turned his head, and ran. ¡°No, you two take it ba, I¡¯m fine with just a helmet. Are you finished looting? If you¡¯re finished looting, let¡¯s go ba.¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t ask any questions and followed behind Yu Yan with his gun, leaving the small house in the wild area behind. Although the ce they had just been in was a wild area, it still counted as being arge wild area. There were several houses there, and since most people had been busy with killing each other before, they pretty much hadn¡¯t been searched through. Good Show didn¡¯t quite want to leave yet, and he went upstairs while saying, ¡°You¡¯re not going to search it? We¡¯ve just arrived, and now we¡¯re running away again?¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°There were so many shots just now, I¡¯m afraid someone wille looking.¡± ¡°If theye looking, we¡¯ll fuck them up!¡± ¡°It¡¯s not in the circle either,¡± Yu Yan said. Good Show looked at the map; it really wasn¡¯t in the circle anymore. He said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯lle after I search this building.¡± Just as Good Show walked up to the second floor, he heard the sound of footsteps&#k2014;indicating that more than one person was walking over towards him. Good Show immediately froze. ¡°Xiao Yan, did you guyse back?¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°We have already entered the circle.¡± In less than half a minute, Good Show¡¯s killed in action notification appeared in the upper-right hand corner of the screen. [Good Show, go back to ying LoL ba, don¡¯t make a fool of yourself! You¡¯re going to lose fans! (roaring)] ¡°¡­¡­ I won¡¯t.¡± Good Show opened up the spectating mode and watched from Yu Yan¡¯s POV. ¡°I will never give up.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a team behind us, be careful.¡± Yu Yan ran to another house in another small wild area, and once he was sure there was no one inside, he closed the door and said, ¡°Let¡¯s just settle down here ba.¡± Although this wild area wasn¡¯t in the center of the circle, it didn¡¯t count as being too much near the edges either. If they were lucky, them being in the center of the perfect circle of destiny wasn¡¯t an impossible oue. Somehow, no one had taken over such a good location yet. He had just said these words casually, but he hadn¡¯t expected lines from the barrage to immediately start shing past the screen. [Settle down here and then birth a couple of children.] ¡¾£¿£¿£¿ The person above?] [A dream family, you plow while I weave.] [Who gives birth?] [Xiao Yan gives birth! (loud voice)] [Boss 1 gives birth¡­ (low voice)] [Person above, what kind of cult are you from??] ¡°No one is giving birth, no one at all.¡± Yu Yan was stunned by the direction in which their thought processes had gone to, and his anger from just a few moments ago hadpletely disappeared. Although No. 3 was still swearing in the voice channel, at least his game character wasn¡¯t in front of him. Yu Yan felt much morefortable than before. Yi Chen alsoughed. He opened his inventory and asked, ¡°Do you want ammo?¡± ¡°No need, I have enough. Both your guns use 556 ammo, keep them ba.¡± The team behind them quickly caught up. The two of them didn¡¯t let even the slightest sound of their footsteps escape, and Yu Yan stood guard behind the fence. At the instant the car drove up, he shot quickly. All that could be seen in the video was the boy¡¯s arm as it kept going down¡ª¡ª In the upper right corner of the screen, a flurry of notifications showing ¡°yanxyan has eliminated XXX by blowing up the vehicle¡­¡± appeared. ¡°Previously, some stream followers had asked me how I got used to recoil, and wanted to learn my method of firing.¡± He took up the gun and turned around to go back into the house without looting any boxes. ¡°In fact, like everyone else, I can¡¯t control the gun spray patterns¡­ Have you guys learned it?¡± Learn? The stream followers were all confused. Who the fuck could learn from that and would think this demonstration was a how-to? Even if it was a how-to, he had executed it so fast that unfortunately. no one could understand it ba. There were still 11 people left in the final circle. 11 people in such a small circle¡­ It was basically understood that you would encounter a Voldemort every two steps in any direction. After clearing two Voldemorts, Yu Yan saw that Yi Chen¡¯s health bar only had half remaining. ¡°1, take a first-aid kit.¡± He said, ¡°There should still be others around.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have a first aid kit.¡± Yi Chen had turned on his mic. Hey down right there on that spot and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, you y, you don¡¯t have to worry about me.¡± Yu Yan was stunned. ¡°Didn¡¯t you just loot one?¡± ¡°Looted too many bullets, and didn¡¯t realise that I hadn¡¯t looted any first-aid kits until we were halfway away from that box.¡± Yu Yan slowly crawled on the ground towards Yi Chen and tossed him two first-aid kits. ¡°Use them.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± [The anchor is both the boss¡¯ vanguard and works part-time as the boss¡¯ medic. He is really being both the father and the mother.] Yu Yan saw that line in the barrage and even reacted to it by replying, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense.¡± ¡­ He didn¡¯t want to be his parent at all. When there was only one person left in the game, Yu Yan put his gun away and equipped some frag grenades. Then he held them in his hand and counted down the seconds, before throwing them one by one towards the grass in the distance¡ª¡ª Amidst the bursts of explosions, arge game settlement notification popped up: [Big Fortune and Great Delight, you¡¯re eating chicken tonight.] ¡°Awesome ya!¡± Good Show pped the table. ¡°66 didn¡¯t deceive me, you really are very good.¡± Upon suddenly hearing a familiar name, Yu Yan¡¯s smile slightly froze, and he asked. ¡°66?¡± ¡°No, I said your ying is really awesome.¡± Good Show also froze before he hurriedly added, ¡°666 ma.¡± Yu Yan was silent. He didn¡¯t have any problems with his hearing. He could usually hear each footstep in the game very urately, so he was sure that he hadn¡¯t heard what Good Show had said wrong. But right now, both of them were participating in a livestream, so he couldn¡¯t interrogate him. ¡°Right.¡± He went back to the game lobby and said, ¡°Maybe I heard you wrong ba, keep ying?¡± His tone wasn¡¯t quite right. Good Show had originally wanted to click to queue for another match, but after hearing him ask in such a tone, he hesitated. Good Show said, ¡°Tsk, it¡¯s already this hour¡­ I have to get ready to livestream. You two y ba. Xiao Yan, will you carry me next time?¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t t-out reject him, and instead just said, ¡°If there¡¯s room.¡± After Good Show left, Yu Yan drew two stream followers into the game. At the beginning of the new match, only after he entered Manners za did he gain some free time to nce at his phone. It was then that he discovered an unread message on his cellphone, one that had been sent more than 10 minutes ago. 1: Livestreaming, you endure a bit, don¡¯t quarrel with him. Yu Yan calcted the time and estimated that just a few seconds after sending this message, Yi Chen had used the shotgun to clear out No. 3 with a bang. Yu Yan: No way. Yu Yan: The more I endure and think about it, the angrier I get. 1£º¡­¡­ 1: You¡¯re right. ¨C Actually, Good Show had just made-up an excuse to leave, he had more than half an hour left before he had to start his livestream. After he quit Yu Yan¡¯s stream, his QQ immediately rang. 66: Wtf! You almost let it slip! Good Show: My bad, my bad¡­.. 66 was an old friend of Good Show¡¯s and had been a press agent of his former team. Good Show: Are you watching him stream again? 66: Yeah. Ugh, every time I see him, I feel very sad. If he had listened to me and switched jobs with me, I would have found a way to stuff him into our PUBG section. Good Show: Come on ba, it¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know how bad that PUBG section of our team is. 66: It¡¯s still better than him having to livestream now. Good Show: Looking down upon livestreaming ah? For a more popr anchor now, their monthly sry pretty much surpasses that of a professional team member¡¯s, okay? 66: Okay ba. I took a look, and during your time there, his fans have increased by tens of thousands. Thank you bro. Good Show: I didn¡¯t do it all for you, so you don¡¯t need to do this empty show for me. But since you care about your former colleague so much, why don¡¯t you smash tens of thousands yuan worth of gifts on your own at him? Are you reluctant to do so? 66: I¡¯m afraid he¡¯ll recognize me. Anyway¡­ At the beginning, I was the one who dug him and pulled him into that shabby little team. Although I didn¡¯t know that the management was such a pit at that time, I could also count as bearing some responsibility for it ba. Good Show: But the way I see it, it seems Xiao Yan doesn¡¯t want my poprity to rub off on him ah. 66: Guess he was scared by thatst trending topics search ba. Tuantuan¡¯s marketing team really knows how to get things done. I think that there will definitelye a day where Tuantuan gets thrown into a pit and killed by that marketing team. Good Show sent an emoticon over: She would have iting, can¡¯t do anything about it. 66 had mentioned Yu Yan to him before, but hadn¡¯t borated on it. At that time, Good Show had also just sighed over it and hadn¡¯t paid much attention to it. However, they didn¡¯t expect that the poor thing they had discussed would suddenly appear on the website¡¯s application list for Kills King. 66 had recognized him at first sight and then had evene to Good Show¡¯s door with several bottles of wine, requesting that he help him investigate the poor thing¡¯s situation. Thinking of the little interactions he had witnessed taking ce between Yu Yan and their big boss, Good Show thought about it and replied with a sentence¡ª Good Show: You can rest assured ba. He¡¯s living much better than you think right now. I feel like he¡¯s pretty happy. Good Show didn¡¯t expect that he had unintentionally nted a big g. A weekter, a Weibo post suddenly appeared on the front page of many of the stream followers, and made some of the stream followers¡¯ jaws drop. [Zhou Mi Entertainment: Recently, ourpany discovered that @yanxyan, a professional yer of thepany, signed some anchor contracts with @StarTV official blog without obtaining permission from thepany, and is currently active as an anchor on StarTV, which constitutes as a breach of contract. At present, we are trying to collect evidence. @yanxyan, please be prepared to respond to thewsuit.] A picture was attached below, showing a contract. The contents were all blurred out, but it could be seen from the dirty paper that the contract had a long history. The whole contract showed only a small signature at the bottom right. The signature had been neatly signed, and it could be seen that it had been written stroke by stroke, carefully and solemnly¡ª¡ª Yu Yan. ¡ª Juurensha: GTFO Zhou Mi Entertainment! How dare youe try to find our Yanyan again! (Also¡­my favorite SJ member is Zhou Mi, so the name of thispany is a bit unfortunate.) Noks: Damn, how dare you, you #$%$&%$#?!

Chapter 81 - Who said we would give them any breaChapter of contract fees Chapter 81 - Who said we would give them any breaChapter of contract fees Edited by xiin and Noks There were many strange things about this Weibo post, and the strangest of all was the poster¡ªZhou Mi Entertainment. At first sight, anyone could tell that it wasn¡¯t the name of an e-sports club, but rather seemed to be something more of a brokeragepany. Sure enough, a lot of doubts soon popped up in the trendingments below the post. [What¡¯s an entertainmentpany like you doing here¡­] This post had just been released, and thements below it were few and far between. This particrizen had just thought that it was a fake melon and somented randomly. What they hadn¡¯t expected was to receive a reply within a few seconds. [Zhou Mi Entertainment: Ourpany has changed its name.] This reply was casual and perfunctory. The stream followers didn¡¯t really care and continued to treat it as a joke. [Changing a name means you¡¯ve even changed the nature of yourpany? Then yourpany is pretty casual ah?] [Lololololol, don¡¯t know where this little tier 18pany came from. I¡¯ve never heard of it.] [I went to check. Thispany only has four artists, and all of them are nobodies in the entertainment circle. Only one of them has actually been in a show¡­ Is the entertainmentpany really sure they¡¯re not kidding? Let me give you guys a suggestion ba¡ªIf you want to deliberately provoke someone, go provoke someone big ah, you¡¯ll definitely get onto the trending topics search list that way.] [The name of this anchor is familiar, did he get pretty popr in the livestream circle recently ah?] Who would have known that that very afternoon, Zhou Mi Entertainment¡¯s official Weibo would suddenly upload a video. It was a video of a boy ying a game. The boy was wearing a red long-sleeve shirt with a round cor and had a clean haircut. Since he was young, his facial features weren¡¯t fully developed, but at a nce, he still looked clean and handsome. In the video, the person next to him said something indistinct, and then the boyughed and said, ¡°En¡­ didn¡¯t train too long.¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t sleep against night ba?¡± ¡°Slept a little on the sofa.¡± ¡°Well, young people are tigers.¡± The man stood up and patted the boy on the shoulder. ¡°Practice well, our team is counting on you, ha ha. However, you should still take care to take a break, and go to sleep after finishing this match.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± the boy replied, but obviously didn¡¯t take him seriously as he said, ¡°Thank you, 6 Ge.¡± At this point, the video ended abruptly. With just these 20 short seconds, the response the video garnered was much greater than that of the announcement in the morning. Weibo really red up by dinnertime, which was also the peak time when viewers flowed into livestreams. At that time, Yu Yan was ying in the final circle. There were only two yers left in his team, while the other team still had a full roster, thus the atmosphere was tense. Yu Yan heard the sound of crawling and immediately said, ¡°There¡¯s someone in my face.¡± His teammate replied, ¡°Coming, give me the coordinates.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Approximately¡­¡± The barrage popped up at this time, with everyone messaging the same thing. It was as though they had all arranged to do so beforehand. [Xiao Yan, don¡¯t y games right now, quickly go look at Weibo!] [There¡¯s apany saying that they were your former employer and that you¡¯re in breach of contract and now wants to sue you¡­] [I saw it too! It¡¯s called Zhou Mi Entertainment or something right? It must be fake. Xiao Yan has never yed professionally ba???] Yu Yan¡¯s words to his teammate were also interrupted by this sudden appearance of the barrage. ¡°Bro, I don¡¯t see them ah, are they near you? Bro?¡± His teammate said frantically, ¡°Give me some coordinates bro.¡± Yu Yan snapped out of it, and upon seeing the enemy slowly crawling towards him, quickly opened his scope and shot at the grass. The kill prompt popped up, and his tone was normal as he said, ¡°No need toe, I killed him.¡± More messages appeared, and the barrage grew fiercer. The stream followers were all discussing this issue fiercely, and you could see how much trouble the Weibo post had already caused. [Someone stirring up shit again?] [You say it¡¯s someone stirring shit up, but the anchor should still give a definitive answer ah. What does silence mean?] ¡°Don¡¯t argue, everyone.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°This match is over, so I¡¯m going to stop and eat. I haven¡¯t looked at Weibo yet today, and I don¡¯t really know what¡¯s going on.¡± Yu Yan picked up his cellphone and looked at it. Only then did he find that it had already been stuffed full of messages, and all of them had been sent by friends who were inquiring about the situation. Even Tuantuan and Lulu had sent messages. Among them, Lu Xiuhe was the one who said the most, and his messages filled up the whole screen. Yu Yan replied that he was okay before going to Weibo. At this time, Zhou Mi¡¯s official Weibo had updated with a third video. Yu Yan didn¡¯t rush in. Instead, he looked at the thumbnail of each of the videos that had been posted, and for a while, all the past events that he had thought had already passed seemed to spring back up in a sh. These memories were also colored with the passion and expectation that he had first felt when he had decided to make esports his career¡ªand all this made his brain ache. He licked his lips, raised his hand to turn off the microphone for the livestream, and opened the video. The first two videos were both about the daily training, and it seemed that they had been shot by the life assistant at that time. At that time, they had said that after they won the championship, they could use these short videos to make a very meaningful documentary. The stream followers wouldn¡¯t have gotten so excited if it was only about these two videos. Thest one was a video of Yu Yan ying in apetition. Thatpetition had been held in Lu Xiuhe¡¯s family¡¯s Inte cafe. At that time, they had just opened the Inte cafe, and in order to promote it, Father Lu had smashed money in order to organize many activities. Thatpetition had been one of them. Yu Yan remembered thatpetition because it was the only one where he had sessfully won the prize¡ª Father Lu had given him the prize money directly at that time and had asked him to share it with the rest of the yers, after which the management hadn¡¯t had the nerve to ask for the yers to give them the money. A full 500¡ªit had been enough to improve the quality of food he consumed for that month. He scrolled down and saw that there were thousands ofments. [Although it¡¯s fuzzy, and he looks a little different, I think it¡¯s really yanxyan himself.] [Even if it is, so what, doesn¡¯t that just mean that Xiao Yan really has skills, and so can p all those antis¡¯ faces?] [There are so many brain-damaged fans here. Do you know how serious a breach of contract is? It also shows that the anchor has no contractual spirit.] [A junior high school graduate, how much contractual spirit do you expect him to have hahahaha.] Yu Yan remained very calm when he read thesements. After all,pared to the past, these mocking words counted as nothing. He was livestreaming, and it wasn¡¯t convenient for him to do anything about this issue right now. He used his cellphone to search for Zhou Mi Entertainment, and he indeed saw a familiar name in the list of thepany¡¯s management team members. He opened a private chat page through thispany¡¯s official Weibo, and it waspletely empty and had no messages. The other side hadn¡¯t even tried to contact him privately, and had instead directly posted these three videos to Weibo. It could be seen that they had been driven to do this by those stream followers who had doubted their ims. He even suspected that if his stream followers had continued to ridicule them, then this official Weibo ount would straightforwardly even release the contents of their original contract. Instead of responding while in a hurry, he put down his cellphone and turned on his microphone. ¡°I¡¯m sorry you guys have waited a long time,¡± he said, ¡°Let¡¯s keep going ba. I won¡¯t draw any followers tonight. I¡¯ll y solo for a bit, my points have fallen too much recently.¡± [Xiao Yan, you¡¯re not going to eat??] [He means to just y dead again bei. Do you know how serious a breach of contract is? This is the first time I¡¯ve seen a professional yer break his contract, but thest anchor who broke his contract had a im filed against him for 30 million. Well good luck ba lolololol.] [I personally think that if Xiao Yan really broke his contract, then there must be a reason. Before livestreaming, he had been working as an apanying yer the whole time. Which professional yer would throw their career away and run to be an apanying yer ah? Of course, breaking the contract is also wrong. I¡¯ll wait and see.] Yu Yan opened the game, entered Manners za, and quietly looked at the barrage assistant located in the upper left corner of the screen, not saying a word the entire time. Just as everyone was thinking that he wasn¡¯t going to exin, his character boarded the ne, and his voice rang out¡ª ¡°I really did y professionally once.¡± With just that one sentence, the barrage was pulled to the peak in an instant, and many stream followers who hade to join in on the excitement also followed up with lines consisting of exmation marks and big question marks. Yu Yan pursed his lips, endured the psychological difort, and then said, ¡°But I¡¯m not guilty of breaching any contract.¡± ¡ª¡ª After ending the livestream, Yu Yan opened a drawer in theputer table and took out a small ck book. It was his ount book, and it hadn¡¯t been used for a long time, because he hadn¡¯t spent a lot recently, the only exception being the mainframe. He opened his streaming ount and copied all his earnings into the ck book. He was about to check his debit card ount when suddenly, his cellphone rang. Yi Chen was video-calling him. Yu Yan sat up straight and closed the book in front of him before picking up the call. Yi Chen was sitting in his office chair, and after he tossed thest document aside, he put his cellphone in front of him. This week, in terms of flights alone, he had already made five trips, due to one meeting after another, and had had many documents to approve. He had been so busy that even 24 hours in a day hadn¡¯t seemed enough. But even if it wasn¡¯t enough, he wouldn¡¯t miss their video-call every night. The video-call rang for a long time before he heard a click, and then they were connected. Yu Yan sat cross legged on the bed. After catching sight of the man on his cellphone, he rxed slightly. He managed a smile as he asked, ¡°Finished working?¡± ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen looked at him for a moment before he also asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yu Yan was given a start and shook his head quickly in reply, ¡°Nothing ah¡­¡± ¡°Your smile is very unsightly.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± He was too straightforward. And too observant ba. Yu Yan said, ¡°It¡¯s just that something happened during the livestream.¡± ¡°Is it serious?¡± Yi Chen asked. ¡°It¡¯s not serious, just a small thing.¡± Yu Yan could no longer force himself to smile. He said seriously, ¡°I can handle it myself.¡± He wasn¡¯t trying to be brave here. Just now, he had been totalling the amount of money in his ounts in order to calcte how much savings he had. and nning to use this money to hire awyer. Yu Minyang seemed to be most adept at divorce cases, but there were several otherwyers in hisw firm, so maybe he could get a discount. Yu Yan put together all the money he had earned from gifts, his contractual livestream sry, and the bonus he had obtained from the Kills King of the Year award, and thought it would be more than enough for awsuit. ¡°En, I believe you.¡± Yi Chen leaned back, propped up his legs, and rxed. ¡°But I still want to know, what happened?¡± The young man at the other end frowned, and it looked as if he was thinking about whether to say it or not. Seeing this, Yi Chen¡¯s eyebrow lightly ticked up a bit. ¡°I just want to shoulder some burdens for my boyfriend.¡± The word ¡°boyfriend¡± was really an invincible and ultimate weapon. Yu Yan thought that he would even give Yi Chen the password for his debit card without any reservations at this moment if he asked for it. He bit his lips and said, ¡°It¡¯s just¡­ I used to y professionally.¡± Yu Yan shortened the story to a very simple one: he had joined the team with a dream, yed for the team for nearly a year, had even won several championships, but the sry for one year had added up to less than 2000 yuan. Recently, thepany had appeared again and was using him of breach of contract. On the surface, Yi Chen seemed to be listening to the whole story calmly. He looked the same as he did usually, but only if you ignored the deep anger in his eyes. ¡°You don¡¯t need awyer.¡± After a long pause, Yi Chen continued, ¡°You¡¯re an anchor of StarTV. The tform will help you solve this problem.¡± Yu Yan hurriedly said, ¡°But I didn¡¯t breach the contract. I don¡¯t need to pay any fees for breaching it at all¡­¡± Yi Chen let out an unclearugh and asked in a cool voice, ¡°Who said we would give them any breach of contract fees?¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Ohhhhh, Zhou Mi Entertainment, you guys fucked uppppppp. You pissed off Boss Yi even more than he was originally pissed off at you guys! Also Xai drew a beautiful maid Yanyan: And I (juurensha) wrote a smutty crossdressing Yanyan fic too hahaha here! Warning NSFW and some spoilers for the extras and rest of the story. Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! And there¡¯s an audio drama for PUBG that came out! It¡¯s more condensed than the novel, but it¡¯s fun! And check out our fanart/fanfic page! Chapter 82 - @Zhou Mi Entertainment Chapter 82 - @Zhou Mi Entertainment Edited by xiin and Noks Yu Yan froze. ¡°Then, you¡­¡­¡± ¡°He never paid you, which means he didn¡¯t fulfill his contractual obligations first.¡± Yi Chen asked, ¡°How many years was the contract you signed back then for?¡± Generally, the terms for professional contracts weren¡¯t long. It should have expired by now. ¡°¡­¡­Three years?¡± Yu Yan wasn¡¯t sure. He was embarrassed about having the conversation turn to this topic. ¡°I don¡¯t remember.¡± If he had just paid more attention to his contract back then, he wouldn¡¯t have been thrown into a pit so miserablyter on. ¡°That¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll arrange someone to deal with it and¡­ resolve things.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Just keep focusing on streaming. If any stream followers ask, banning all talk is fine too.¡± Yu Yan curled his lips and wanted to say something, but eventually, he still just said, ¡°Okay.¡± The moment he said that, he also opened up his cellphone¡¯s rm clock app and set an rm for 8 AM, nning to go to thew firm tomorrow. The contract had been signed before he had joined StarTV. Naturally, this matter couldn¡¯t count the tform¡¯s problem. He couldn¡¯t let the tform carry this big ck pot just because of his deep rtionship with Yi Chen. As soon as the rm was set, from the other end of the call came the sound of a door opening. Yu Yan quickly cut back to the video-cand saw the person on the screen look up, in reaction to the movement. ¡°Ge.¡± The person who spoke was Yi Ran. Recently, his family had been renovating their house, and his parents were worried that instead of going home, he would just run around wildly, so they had asked Yi Chen to take him in for a few days. ¡°Are you going home for the Spring Festival?¡± Instead of answering, Yi Chen asked, ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°This year, my parents said that they¡¯re going abroad. They really want me to go with them, but I don¡¯t want to go. How could that shabby ce be better than home ah.¡± Yi Ran continued, ¡°I heard that uncle and them are also nning on going abroad. If you¡¯re not going¡­ then could you also conveniently let me stay here?¡± Yi Ran put his hands together as he pleaded, ¡°Ge, I really don¡¯t want to go abroad. If you find me annoying, I¡¯ll pack up my luggage and scram from here once they leave the country!¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t like it when there was too much noise at home. Even the aunties who came to clean the house usually left early at night, while Yi Ran was clearly a noise-making machine. Besides, if he kept him here and then got too busy taking care of his work and something went wrong, that would be troublesome. He moved his lips and was about to refuse, but then suddenly thought of something. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, ¡°Whatever you want.¡± ¡°Ge, I¡¯ll really be good, please help me¡­¡± Yi Ran was still willing to beg, then halted halfway through his sentence. His eyes went wide, and his face was full of disbelief. ¡°Ge! You¡¯re agreeing?!¡± He was so loud that Yi Chen frowned. ¡°I¡¯m about to take it back.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t, don¡¯t, don¡¯t¡­ I¡¯ll go let my mom know. If shees to ask you afterwards, remember to tell her you said yes.¡± Yi Ran was really afraid that he would take it back. With the speed of a firecracker setting off, he quickly finished and then said goodbye immediately. ¡°Good night, Ge!¡± The fragile door mmed shut. Yi Chen returned his gaze to his phone and saw the person on the screen, who had clenched both hands into fists by now, resting his head on one of those fists. He didn¡¯t seem to have much spirit. ¡°Disturbed you?¡± ¡°No, how could that be?¡± Yu Yan sat up straight and asked, ¡°You don¡¯t spend the Spring Festival with your family?¡± ¡°It depends,¡± said Yi Chen. ¡°Why ah?¡± Yu Yan asked, only to find that his question was too sudden. He added, ¡°I mean¡­ doesn¡¯t everyone spend Spring Festival with their families? During that time, it¡¯s a nationwide holiday, and there¡¯s no work to be done.¡± This was the first time that someone had ever raised this topic with Yi Chen. He was silent for a bit before he said, ¡°It was since a few years ago that we started not gathering together for New Year¡¯s anymore.¡± This time, without waiting for Yu Yan to ask further, he continued, ¡°There aren¡¯t many rtives that we have to pay New Year¡¯s visits to, and for the past few years, my parents had things to do abroad. They had jetg problems and couldn¡¯t hurry back by New Year¡¯s Eve, so we simply didn¡¯t spend it together. The year beforest, thepany had an urgent project to deal with so I didn¡¯t go home. Sincest year, our family has just not spent New Year¡¯s together.¡± Yu Yan frowned and asked him, ¡°Then what were you doingst Spring Festival?¡± Yi Chen paused for a moment at this question before he recalled. ¡°At home the whole time.¡± Even Yu Yan would go pay New Year visits to Yu Minyang¡¯s and Lu Xiuhe¡¯s families. An idea bloomed in Yu Yan¡¯s mind. He blinked and blurted out, ¡°This year¡­¡± ¡°Let¡¯s spend this year together ba,¡± Yi Chen said. Since what he wanted to say had been said by the other party first, Yu Yan felt stunned for a bit before he nodded. ¡°Okay¡­ I¡¯lle to you, is that okay?¡± Yi Chen watched the face of the person on the screen suddenly change from itspletely serious expression to one with shining eyes, and then he even giggled. Yi Chen¡¯s heart unconsciously softened a lot, and even his eyebrows and eyes looked gentler than usual. ¡°Anything is fine.¡± After hanging up the phone, Yu Yan opened the calendar and nced at it. The joy he was feeling immediately disappeared. Next year¡¯s Spring Festival woulde very early, on January 21, but even if it was earlier, there was still a long way to go. But just being able to meet was already really good. Because of this call, Yu Yan¡¯s restless mood smoothed out a lot. He calmed down and sorted out what had happened today in his mind. He then left a message for Yu Minyang, saying that he might have to trouble him tomorrow, and only after that did he turn over to sleep. ¡ª¡ª Anchors breaching contracts was already not an umon event for most stream followers; it was actually rare for big anchors to terminate their contracts peacefully. However, a professional yer breaking their contract, and breaking it so that they could jump into livestreaming¡­that was a little strange. Ever since Zhou Mi Entertainment hadunched its Weibo page, it had received a lot of attention. The replies to Zhou Mi Entertainment¡¯sst video post had already reached 6000 threads, and the stream followers were still discussing this topic in a relentless manner. [Are there any bros or Jie/Meis who understandw and can exin things a bit to everyone ah? Does Xiao Yan count as being in breach of contract like this? Around how much is the penalty for breaking a contract? This old mother has already been broken-hearted all night QAQ¡­.] [Will StarTV intervene?] [It depends on whether StarTV knew about this before he signed a contract with them. Even if they did, it still has nothing to do with the tform. It¡¯s the anchor who breached his contract himself. Unless the tform wants to protect yanxyan, it¡¯s not likely that they¡¯ll appear. If he really did breach his contract, the damages should at least reach seven figures or more ba. With yanxyan¡¯s current position¡­ I don¡¯t think the tform will protect him.] Things wereplicated and confusing, and up until now, no one could figure out what was true or what was false. Stream followers who had witnessed more of this tform¡¯s anchor¡¯s disputes chose to wait and watch for a while. Thissted till ament suddenly popped out and received tens of thousands of praises in an hour, and then reached the top of the most poprments. [This yanxyan has too many shoddy things happening ba. First, it¡¯s being a botter, then it¡¯s a catfight with other anchors, and now it¡¯s a breach of contract. A neer being able to kick up a fuss like this is really something. I suggest that the management of StarTV should take advantage of this issue to drive him out. Don¡¯t leave this kind of person here to harm other anchors who are livestreaming.] [WTF, I just went to take a bath, and the most poprment suddenly changed? Why do you water army people think we¡¯re fools?] [Have to say that yanxyan¡¯s fan base is too weak. I still remember the banana ident, and my god, it was like watching gossip in the entertainment circle, with fans in control and everyone trying to white-wash things. If it wasn¡¯t for the tform restricting banana¡¯s most recent rankings, his traffic wouldn¡¯t have been affected at all.] The stream followers heatedly quarreled until the next day when¡ª It was in the middle of breakfast when a new Weibo post was born. [Yanyan¡¯s Daddy: @Zhou Mi Entertainment, thewsuit process should pick up speed. Zhou Mi¡¯s manager, please contact our management immediately.] The ount was ¡®Yanyan¡¯s Daddy¡¯, following: 1, fans: 300. 299 of them were 1YanTang girls who had followed Yu Yan¡¯s Weibo and then travelled over to this ount. Fans sent this post confused face emojis and thought that they hadn¡¯t woken up yet. ¡°What does Boss 1 mean by this post? Howe I don¡¯t understand?¡± ¡°Our party¡¯s management¡­ whose party is he talking about?¡± ¡°Boss 1, don¡¯t send out a message at this time¡­ A lot of antis have appeared under your Weibo, just wanting to add insult to injury.¡± ¡°Boss, you¡¯re betting on the wrong horse. Since you are so rich, why don¡¯t you help the anchor pay the breach of contract damages bei lololololol.¡± ¡°Boss, there are plenty of fish in the sea. The next anchor will be better. Let me rmend an anchor to you, a beautiful person who sings sweetly @StarTV Yaya.¡± Half an hourter¡ª [Yanyan¡¯s Daddy: @Zhou Mi Entertainment.] ¡°£¿£¿£¿¡± ¡°Gone mad with anger?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t understand this operation¡­¡± Another half an hourter¡ª [Yanyan¡¯s Daddy: @ Zhou Mi Entertainment, @Ren Lianmin, @¡­] Towards the end of the post, there was just a string of @¡¯s aimed at Zhou Mi Entertainment¡¯s few artists. Somehow, there was something funny about this move. The stream followers found it interesting and were happy to follow suit. As if they were ying at some code, in 10 minutes, it had been reblogged 300 times. Zhou Mi¡¯s official Weibo couldn¡¯t bear to look at it. After being inexplicably @ for hundreds of times, they finally couldn¡¯t help but appear in thement area. [Zhou Mi Entertainment: Hello, this fan. We will discuss the terms of thewsuit with yanxyan himself and hispany, StarTV. Please wait for the results of the case.] In fact, the person in charge of Zhou Mi¡¯s official Weibo was a ¡°senior manager¡± in thepany. He was called a senior manager, but he was actually one of the few employees who had remained in Zhou Mi. After he sent this reply, he clicked his tongue. ¡°This anchor¡¯s fans are a bit stupid ah.¡± ¡°What are you doing listening to a side ount with just a few hundred fans?¡± Feng Xiong asked from the side. ¡°You didn¡¯t see what his fans said under his post, they were all cursing out ourpany.¡± The manager of the Weibo ount leaned back and asked, ¡°Xiong Ge, are you sure you can find that Yu Yan this way and get money ah? Our contract¡­ one look and you can tell it¡¯s not valid ah.¡± Feng Xiong stared at his cellphone. He had sent Yu Yan several private messagesst night, with his contact information attached. He was waiting for Yu Yan to contact him privately. ¡°Yes.¡± Feng Xiong thought of something and said, ¡°That kid, he never had much of an education, and he will believe whatever you say. It¡¯s very easy to fool him.¡± They didn¡¯t n to sue him at all. From the beginning to the end, they just wanted to cheat Yu Yan out of some money. ¡°How much are you nning on getting from him ah?¡± Feng Xiong raised his hand and put up three fingers. ¡°300,000?¡± The manager asked. ¡°Three million.¡± The person was surprised. ¡°Three million? Where could he get that much money from ah?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t understand these things; I inquired about it from others. Anchors make a lot of money now, three million yuan is only a few months¡¯ earnings for them.¡± Speaking of this, Feng Xiong said regretfully, ¡°I originally wanted five million yuan, but I was afraid that if the number was toorge, he wouldn¡¯t be able to get that much out¡­ even rabbits bite if they get frantic.¡± The manager of the Weibo thought about it and still wasn¡¯t at ease. ¡°Then what if StarTV intervenes? If it really goes all the way to court ah?¡± ¡°How is that possible? Don¡¯t worry ba, I¡¯m not stupid, and the person in charge of StarTV is even less stupid. Our contract has nothing to do with them. Even if Yu Yan really broke the contract, the responsibility lies with Yu Yan himself. The tform would have to have nothing else to do if they came and cared about this shabby matter,¡± Feng Xiong said as he touched the senior manager¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Come on, let¡¯s see if Yu Yan has replied to your private message. Why has he still not contacted me¡­¡± The manager of the Weibo ount checked his private messages. Yu Yan¡¯s reply was definitely not there. But there were many other unreadments on the private message page. [Are you there? Please hurry up thewsuit process oh. Don¡¯t let our Boss 1 wait and grow impatient :)] [Lolololol can you guys in this little shabbypany be a little bit more efficient and work faster?!] [Ren Lianmin: I¡¯ve already terminated my contract with you since several months ago, but why hasn¡¯t the Baidu Encyclopedia entry been updated? You must make a statement to rify that I have already left thepany!] ¡°President Feng, look at this¡­¡± Feng Xiong looked up and said, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? What do you mean?¡± The manager of the Weibo ount had a face filled withplete confusion as he clicked into the Weibo of the message. The office¡¯swork speed wasn¡¯t good, thus, just when he was still clicking it, the name disyed on this Weibo ount was still ¡°Yanyan¡¯s Daddy¡±. But a few secondster, the name suddenly changed¡ª¡ª Yi Chen. Certified ount: Chairman of Yida Group. [Yi Chen: @Zhou Mi Entertainment.] ¡ª Juurensha: Ohohohoho, let the face-ppingmence! And Yi Chen is really publicly announcing their rtionship here! xiin: ohhh that ount certification name change is such a satisfying p in the face. Please check out and support the raws if you can!

Chapter 83 - Owing just a few million in debt was already something fortunate Chapter 83 - Owing just a few million in debt was already something fortunate Edited by xiin and Noks The manager in charge of thepany¡¯s Weibo was stunned, and his first reaction was to refresh the interface. But no matter how many times he refreshed it, the name on that Weibo ount remained unchanged, and that certified status statement remained unchanged¡­ That Weibo ount¡¯s first post hadn¡¯t changed either. Every single job seeker knew the name ¡®Yida Group¡¯. Many people wanted to join the Yida Group, even if it meant that they could only join a branchpany, as being a part of it would still look good when they talked about it. Feng Xiong was old and didn¡¯t know much about young people. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have needed to find other people to manage and clean up the official blog. ¡°What does that mean?¡± he asked. ¡°President Feng¡­ This is Yida ah.¡± The manager looked rmed. ¡°The person I just replied to is the boss of Yida.¡± ¡°Yida?¡± Feng Xiong naturally understood the meaning and weight behind that name. He frowned and said, ¡°I told you not to use the official Weibo ount blindly. It wasn¡¯t a big deal when you were just running it for gossip sites before, but now we¡¯re doing proper business, and you¡¯re still using it to blindly cause trouble?!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t blindly go and cause trouble ah.¡± The Weibo manager said with a long face, ¡°Then what do we do now ah, President Feng? Do I still reply?¡± ¡°Reply to what?¡± Feng Xiong said, ¡°So what if it¡¯s really Yida? This issue has nothing to do with them, so what is he trying to get involved in? Ignore him.¡± The Weibo manager thought about it, and although this argument seemed reasonable, he was still nervous and felt like something was wrong. After a while, he opened Baidu and with a few quick swipes, ran a search. After seeing the words on the web page, his face immediately turned pale, and even stuttered once he spoke. ¡°President Feng¡­. This¡­¡± ¡°What are you doing, stammering so much?!¡± Feng Xiong had just received a call for debt collection and so hade back in a bad mood. ¡°Did Yu Yan reply?¡± ¡°President Feng, you shouldn¡¯t worry about that for now.¡± The Weibo manager panicked and said, ¡°StarTV¡­ It¡¯s a livestream tform belonging to Yida!¡± ¡°How could that be¡­ Is that true or not?¡± Feng Xiong stared at him and asked, ¡°They acquired it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s true! Really,e and have a look¡­¡± The Weibo manager pointed to the information on Baidu as he exined, ¡°It has always been under Yida¡¯s banner, but Yida has also been rtively low-key in this respect, and Star TV never red out Yida¡¯s big name¡­¡± The Weibo manager was so nervous that he felt numb. ¡°President Feng, then what do you think President Yi means to say through that Weibo post?¡± Realizing the seriousness of the incident, Feng Xiong stepped forward. ¡°Hurry¡­ hurry and talk with him in private.¡± ¡°What should we chat about ah, President Feng?¡± Feng Xiong licked his lips and couldn¡¯t help swearing. He just wanted to quietly scam someone, so how had he managed to provoke some kind of immortal?! He said, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you a sentence, you type it!¡± Yi Chen was on his way to thepany. He refreshed the microblog interface and realized that he still hadn¡¯t received a message from Zhou Mi Entertainment. He had actually never seen such apany like this before. The several employee Weibos under thepany¡¯s official Weibo were all dead ounts. Thepany¡¯s registered phone number had been left nk, and even thepany¡¯s address was wrong. He had sent someone to investigate, and they said that thepany had already moved away in the past few months. He was afraid that using the word pany¡± with regards to them was already apliment. This was the first time that he had used Weibo to deal with things at work. He usually didn¡¯t use Weibo at all. He had actually just created one right before Yu Yan had. ¡°President Yi.¡± The assistant sitting in the front passenger seat suddenly turned around. ¡°Zhou Mi¡¯s boss¡¯ information has been obtained. His name is Feng Xiong, 43 years old, and his phone number has also already been sent over. Do you need me to call now to inquire about the situation? Also, on Mr. Yu¡¯s side¡­ Do you need me to inform him in advance?¡± The assistant¡¯s expression was serious, but he couldn¡¯t conceal the trace of gossiping intent that was present in his tone. When he had heard his boss ask him to deal with the matter of authenticating his Weibo, he had thought that his ears were malfunctioning. What¡¯s more, he hadn¡¯t expected that his boss had wanted to get his Weibo ount certified just to deal with a small three-roompany. Yi Chen didn¡¯t lift his eyes. ¡°Feng Xiong¡¯s other matters?¡± The assistant said simply, ¡°He¡¯s in debt, a few small millions.¡± Yi Chen was about to say something when his cellphone suddenly vibrated. A small ¡°2¡± had appeared next to his unread private messages. In order to wait for Zhou Mi Entertainment¡¯s reply, he had specially followed the little shabby ount, just so that he could receive any messages as soon as possible. [Zhou Mi Entertainment: Hello, President Yi!] [Zhou Mi Entertainment: President Yi, are you there?] [Yi Chen: Send over a copy of your contract with Yu Yan, and the rest of it will be handled by our tform. Don¡¯t disturb our anchor any more.] ¡°It¡¯s over ya.¡± The Weibo manager was now frantic. ¡°Does this mean that President Yi really wants to see us in court ah?!¡± Feng Xiong¡¯s forehead was sweating. ¡°Why are you nervous? Weren¡¯t you the one who replied to hisment?! Let me tell you, if something goes wrong with this, you¡¯re also responsible!¡± [Zhou Mi Entertainment: President Yi, Yu Yan signed the contract before joining StarTV. We know that he didn¡¯t inform your side about this contract in advance, and in this way, the responsibility is all on Yu Yan. You don¡¯t need to worry at all. [cute]] Yi Chen didn¡¯t like to type on the phone keyboard. He normally didn¡¯t chat with anyone except Yu Yan, and usually handled his many matters with voice messages or direct phone calls. After seeing this emoticon, all of his patience disappeared. Feng Xiong moved a small stool to sit next to theputer. His lips had turned white with anxiety. Going after Yu Yan had originally been his veryst strategy; if he still didn¡¯t find a way to get some money, it wouldn¡¯t be long before he would be killed by his creditors! ¡°No reply ah?¡± The Weibo manager replied, ¡°Not yet¡­¡± ¡°Is there something wrong with thework? We were chatting so well, how could he not reply now?¡± Feng Xiong pped him on the shoulder. ¡°Send another message, ask him if he¡¯s there or not¡­¡± Just as he said that, the telephone rang sharply, and Feng Xiong was given a start. He¡¯d been forced into debt several months ago, and recently, every time he heard something ring, he got scared. As soon as he saw that it was an unfamiliar number, he decided not to answer it. Even though he didn¡¯t pick the call up, who knew that the other side would keep working away, as they called two more times. He picked up the phone. ¡°Who is it ah? Life or death matter ah?¡± Silence reigned for a few seconds before a deep male voice rang out, ¡°Pretty much.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Feng Xiong thought he had heard wrong. ¡°What is this?¡± ¡°Are you Feng Xiong?¡± ¡°It¡¯s me, who are you?¡± ¡°I am Yi Chen from Yida Group.¡± Yi Chen put his hand on his leg, and his index finger unconsciously started to lightly tap against it. ¡°We can chat here.¡± His assistant bravely took a look at his boss through the rearview mirror. Even through the cellphone, he could sense the panic at the other end of the phone. He said internally¡ªif you can ask our big boss to call you in person, even if yourpany goes bankrupt, it will have been worth it. Feng Xiong was stunned, and the underling at his side instinctively held up his cellphone and prevented it from falling. ¡°President Yi! Hello, hello¡­¡± He stared at the person in front of theputer, turned around and walked into the corridor. ¡°President Yi, I don¡¯t know if you saw my reply just now? Misunderstanding, it¡¯s all a misunderstanding. This matter has nothing to do with yourpany. Youdon¡¯t need to worry¡­¡± Yi Chen asked, ¡°Who says it has nothing to do with us?¡± ¡°Um that, you should be able to understand that by consulting yourpany¡¯swyers,¡± Feng Xiong said. ¡°I knew about the contract between you guys before I signed him.¡± Feng Xiong was shocked. ¡°Ah?¡± ¡°So, even if it counts as a breach of contract, I¡¯ll help him pay for it.¡± When it came to this, Yi Chen lightly paused, and his words carried a hint of irony. ¡°However much the court decides, that will be how much I give.¡± Even though he had been the first one to mention awsuit, when he heard the word ¡®court¡¯e from this person¡¯s mouth, Feng Xiong only felt numb and uneasy. But he couldn¡¯t back off. What¡¯s ahead was unknown, but behind him was clearly a cliff. If he couldn¡¯t collect the money, then those debt collectionpanies¡­. Thinking of this, Feng Xiong took a deep breath before he managed to say, ¡°So that¡¯s how it is; then we will have to take care of this matter differently. President Yi, you should know that the breach of contract fees in this respect aren¡¯t low ba? You have probably also heard about those cases some time ago, the ones regarding anchors who quit.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s eyebrows rose, but he didn¡¯t answer. ¡°President Yi, you may not believe what I¡¯m saying, but although I¡¯m older than you, you¡¯re my idol¡­ Who is willing to go to court against their idols? How bad it will look¡­ I also feel terrible about this situation from the bottom of my heart.¡± Feng Xiong continued, ¡°But since you have said so, the nature of this matter has now be one of poaching, which isn¡¯t so serious. In terms of damages caused¡ªwe can discuss that. We don¡¯t need to go through the process of awsuit at all¡­ After all, it will have an impact on yourpany.¡± Yi Chen looked out of the window and upon hearing these words, narrowed his eyes slightly. The displeasure in his tone was evident as he said, ¡°Poaching?¡± Without waiting for Feng Xiong¡¯s reaction, Yi Chen coolly stressed, ¡°He has always been my man and has nothing to do with that word.¡± ¡°The damages can be discussed, but they should be discussed in the court. I¡¯m contacting you this time just to ask you, are you going to sue, or am I going to have to sue?¡± Feng Xiong¡¯s scalp went numb. ¡°It¡¯s unnecessary, it¡¯s really unnecessary, President Yi, President Yi, how¡¯s this ba, three million! If you give me three million yuan, the matter will be over, why make such a big fuss¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll sue ba,¡± Yi Chen interrupted him, ¡°That way I won¡¯t have to arrange for anotherwsuit after this case is over.¡± Feng Xiong had gone into a daze. ¡°President Yi, what do you mean ah?¡± ¡°Your contract is full of loopholes, aren¡¯t you clear on that?¡± ¡°How¡­ No, you said you would arrange for anotherwsuit¡­ What do you mean ah?¡± Yi Chen looked out of the window at the foggy sky and asked, ¡°When you defaulted on the sry a few years ago, did you think at that time that this matter would just be over like that?¡± Feng Xiong said, ¡°That was also because we had no other way ya, President Yi. Yourpany has always sailed smoothly and has never experienced turbulence, how can you understand the suffering us smallpanies have to bear with? At that time, let alone the sry, even the living expenses were paid by me. Besides, when something happened to Xiao Yan¡¯s family at that time, didn¡¯t I also squeeze out a few hundred yuan to give him?¡± If he hadn¡¯t mentioned this, it might have been okay. As soon as he heard Feng Xiong¡¯s words, a smoldering fire suddenly appeared in Yi Chen¡¯s heart. ¡°A few hundred yuan?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t look down upon a few hundred yuan. At that time, professional teams weren¡¯t standardized, and it was already very generous of me to give him a few hundred yuan¡­¡± ¡°Feng Xiong.¡± Yi Chen interrupted him, and the indifference in his tone disappeared, now instead reced with a deep anger. ¡°Fortunately, you still remembered this contract, or I may have had to spend some time.¡± Without waiting for Feng Xiong to ask, Yi Chen continued. ¡°There¡¯s something wrong with yourpany¡¯s registration, and I¡¯ve been looking for you for a long time. Yet, I didn¡¯t expect you to jump out first.¡± ¡°Mywyers will sort out the evidence gathered during this period of time, contact the staff who have been cheated by you before, and will formally sue you in the near future. Of course, the usation will not be about you defaulting on wages alone. Yourpany is small, but it has also done a lot of shady things, such as creating false ounts, evading taxes ¡­illegally raising capital.¡± ¡°All the suffering you gave my employee all those years ago, be prepared to pay it back a hundred times over. At that time, you will understand that owing just a few million in debt was already something fortunate.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Yesssss Yi Chen, get them! It¡¯s payback time, and I love it!

Chapter 84 - If it was still painful Chapter 84 - If it was still painful Edited by Noks ¡°You mean they haven¡¯t sent you the contract yet?¡± In his office, Yu Minyang was wearing a suit and squinting at the Weibo on the cellphone. ¡°What kind of habits do people have nowadays? What legal effect is there if they don¡¯t go through the proper procedures and just post everything on the Inte?¡± Yu Yan took a sip of tea and nodded. ¡°¡­they didn¡¯t send it.¡± Yu Minyang asked, ¡°Have you been contacted in private?¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°No.¡± Although Yu Minyang¡¯sw firm was small, it did have several promisingwyers. Currently, some of them were sitting at their desks outside, often ncing into the office. The office blinds weren¡¯t closed, so everything happening in the office could be seen through the ss. ¡°Is this really Yang Ge¡¯s nephew? Biological nephew? So handsome, they don¡¯t look alike at all.¡± ¡°Who says, you haven¡¯t seen Yang Ge when he was young ba. You can see him in the picture hanging there of the honorary graduates of our school, and he¡¯s pretty handsome.¡± ¡°That¡¯s still a little bit different from this nephew of his. The way he¡¯s wearing that white T-shirt, if it weren¡¯t for my age¡­¡± ¡°Hey, wake up. Your husband is still waiting for you at home.¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t know that he was being talked about. He pursed his lips and asked, ¡°Uncle, in this situation, do I count as being guilty of breach of contract?¡± ¡°No!¡± Yu Minyang said directly, ¡°When you signed, you weren¡¯t even 15 yet ba? I remember you just went to y in the junior year of middle school¡­ went to y professionally?¡± Yu Yan let out an ¡°en¡± and said, ¡°Yes.¡± Yu Minyang said, ¡°Then you can rest assured, we have a fair chance of winning thiswsuit. Although Uncle¡¯spany isn¡¯t veryrge, we still have some talented people here. We have awyer who just recently won a case involving a breach of contract. He was hired to represent the tform and won quite magnificently. He¡¯s been in M city for business these few days, but he¡¯ll be back tomorrow. Youe back tomorrow, and I¡¯ll take you to have dinner with him. You two can talk it through.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Thank you, Uncle, then I¡¯lle back tomorrow.¡± Yu Minyang nodded, and then switched gears to be a concerned family member again. ¡°This matter didn¡¯t scare you ba?¡± Yu Yan shook his head and replied, ¡°No, I was just a bit surprised.¡± ¡°Thispany is really shameful. Setting aside the fact that they hadn¡¯t paid you any sry, they then dared toe out and steal money now¡­¡± After speaking this far, Yu Minyang realised that he seemed to have stepped on a big mine, and so closed his mouth tightly before he instinctively defended, ¡°I mean¡­¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Yu Yan pulled out a smile. ¡°¡­That¡¯s why it was unexpected.¡± Before Yu Minyang could say anything more, he stood up and said, ¡°Uncle, then I won¡¯t disturb your work here any longer. I¡¯lle back tomorrow, and let me treat you to that meal.¡± Yu Minyang frowned, and a trace of sadness shed through his expression. After a long time, he nodded. ¡°Okay. Then see you tomorrow.¡± The uncle and nephew pair walked out of the office and passed by the desks of the other staff members. Yu Yan politely nodded at them and counted the number of people present, thinking that he would bring them some milk tea or coffee tomorrow. After being sent to the door, Yu Yan said, ¡°Then Uncle, I¡¯ll head back first.¡± ¡°En.¡± Yu Minyang had been holding back all the way until here, but he couldn¡¯t help raising his hand and patting Yu Yan on his shoulder when he was about to exit the office. ¡°Xiao Yan, you can¡¯t be med for the matter of the medical expenses. Definitely don¡¯t overthink it, understood? Back then, your parents were already¡­¡± ¡°I know,¡± Yu Yan interrupted him, and finally couldn¡¯t continue to keep the smile on his face anymore, and his voice also dropped several registers lower as he said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll go. Uncle, goodbye.¡± After getting into a taxi, Yu Yan let out a breath and looked at his cellphone. It was already half past ten. Today, for some unknown reason, there were still traffic jams on the streets even at this time. After nearly 10 minutes of being stuck at one such congested intersection, Yu Yan decided to make a post first to ask his stream followers for a vacation. Yet as a result, as soon as he entered Weibo, his eyes were drawn to the 999+ unread messages present in his ount. Usually, he received a lot of private messages, but he cleaned them up once every two days, and the ones he had left unread definitely numbered less than 999st night. Yu Yan rolled down the car window as he clicked on it in confusion. He then saw the Weibo post that had @him the most in these past few hours&#k2014;&#k2014; [It¡¯s New Year¡¯s Day for 1YanTang Girls: These past few days have been like I¡¯ve been watching a big movie, the kind that can score 9.9 points on Douban. That bas*ardpany announced that it would sue my son for breaking his contract, and replied to the questions asked by antis with variousments. Then those antis once again conducted a bloody massacre by posting all kinds of super long threads about my son. To be honest, Jies/Meis, at that time, I had already made mental preparations to pack up and go wherever my son went, I was very sad. Unexpectedly, early in the morning¡­ The officials suddenly gave me fluff and almost choked me to death. There¡¯s nothing to say. Boss 1 is awesome, and Xiao Yan is also awesome. I will always love 1YanTang. Mama, I ran into a real one this time. [picture]] The picture contained the Weibo posts Yi Chen had published, in which he had @Zhou Mi Entertainment nonstop. Yu Yan¡¯s eyes went wide, and opened his own list of followers in disbelief. Sure enough, the id ¡®Yanyan¡¯s Daddy¡¯ was gone. Instead, there was a big yellow V next to the name Yi Chen on the ount, and it now had tens of thousands of followers. He clicked into the other party¡¯s Weibo, and the top post there was still the remarkable @person message, while thements underneath it had broken through ten thousand in number. [Although I don¡¯t watch livestreams or understand any contracts, but this face-pping is too cool ba 23333] [What about Zhou Mi¡¯s Entertainment¡¯s official Weibo? Keep replying ya, weren¡¯t you being very hard-headed before? You¡¯re not about to keep us fans waiting? We¡¯re waiting.] [yanxyan¡¯s backdoor is too wide open ba, so tant and brazen? I¡¯m really worried about other StarTV anchors.] After confirming that the picture attached to the Weibo post was real, Yu Yan had no intention of reading it again. He opened up WeChat with the aim of sending Yi Chen a message. Yet in the end, as soon as he opened the app, he saw that there was a small 1 in his friend¡¯s list. [Ruoruo has applied to be your friend with an additional message: Yanyan, I¡¯m Liu Ruoruo.] Another familiar name. Recently, all of his old acquaintances seemed to be acting as though they had all made appointments, and wereing up to him one by one. This person had been the life assistant of Yu Yan¡¯s team before. Their rtionship could count as okay, but she had never contacted him after he had left the team. He hesitated for a moment before clicking ept. It was as though the other party was waiting and watching in front of her cellphone. As soon as the friend request was epted, she immediately sent a message. Ruoruo: Xiao Yan, do you still remember me? I¡¯m the person who helped you make noodles every day. Yu Yan: I remember. Ruoruo: You¡¯re okay ba? I saw Zhou Mi Entertainment¡¯s post. They are really too shameless! StarTV¡¯s people have already contacted me, don¡¯t worry, I will definitely testify for you when the timees! We must make Feng Xiong give us back the sry he owes us! Ruoruo: Even though it¡¯s not much, having him owe us will always make you feel bad inside! What¡¯s more, you were in such a difficult situation back then, he really can¡¯t be called human. The tform had contacted her? Contacted her for what? Yu Yan didn¡¯t understand, but he didn¡¯t ask for more details. He hesitated and instead replied with a smiley face. Ruoruo: I¡¯m relieved to see that you are living so well¡­ I couldn¡¯t even believe it when I saw you some time ago. Yu Yan: Saw me? Ruoruo: Yes ah¡­ Right now I¡¯m working as an assistant for the CN7 team, and so I also went to StarTV¡¯s annual g. Speaking of this, we almost became colleagues again. Ruoruo: I originally wanted to say hello to you, but I was temporarily called away by President Yi. Next time we get the chance, let¡¯s have a good chat. Yu Yan froze, catching the main point from her messages¡ª Yu Yan: President Yi? Ruoruo: Yes, he values you very much. He even called me over to the lounge specifically to ask about you. Yu Yan hadn¡¯t expected that the woman who went to the lounge with Yi Chen actually turned out to be Liu Ruoruo. He held his cellphone, and was lost on what to say for a while. Before he could ask anything else, the other party took the lead in throwing the following words out¡ª Ruoruo: When he asked me about the team, I thought he was very interested in matters regarding the staff so I told him all about it. Ruoruo: I was still worried after that conversation about whether I had been too talkative¡­. I didn¡¯t expect that President Yi would really put himself out there for us! Ruoruo: This matter is absolutely Feng Xiong¡¯s and hispany¡¯s fault! Now that even President Yi has made a move, thatpany is absolutely done for! Yu Yan looked at the many emoticons that the other side sent after this message in a dazed manner, and didn¡¯t snap out of it for awhile. Ruoruo: Yanyan? Did you go start livestreaming? Yu Yan: No. There¡¯s some other stuff here on my side that I have to finish, let¡¯s talk next time ba. After saying this, Yu Yan exited the chat box and looked out of the window subconsciously, a little distracted. Yi Chen already knew? How much did he know? All of it? His reaction after he found out was¡­ Yu Yan recalled the day of the g¡ª¡ª Yi Chen had confessed to him. A faint inkling of an uneasy thought appeared in his mind. At that time, he had felt that that kiss hade as a surprise, falling upon him without any warning. When the taxi suddenly mmed on the brakes, he returned to his senses. ¡°Atst we¡¯ve arrived.¡± The driver was tired from driving. ¡°This shabby road is too jammed.¡± Yu Yan snapped out of it and scanned the QR code in front of him to pay. Without saying a word, he left the taxi in a hurry. When he got home, he sat in his gaming chair and turned on theputer, thinking all the while. His cellphone was in front of him. He had originally wanted to ask Yi Chen about the matter with Weibo, but now suddenly, he didn¡¯t want to ask. He was afraid that he wouldn¡¯t be able to keep himself from asking him about his doubts. Before the livestream, he specifically went to greet the stream moderator. Today¡¯s livestream was doomed to not be peaceful, so he let the stream moderator know that they had to get ready to ban people. He had thought it all out before. If he could bear it, he would bear it. If he couldn¡¯t bear it, then he would just ban them. Who knew that as soon as he entered his livestream, he would find the barrage singing apletely different tune¡ª¡ª [After reading your story, I feel very sad. It¡¯s not easy for anyone to live in the world. Smashing a little star at you, keep fighting!] [Son¡­ Do you want to kill me through heartache?? QAQ I really want to rush through the screen and hug you!!] [All bad people will be punished!!] Yu Yan had no idea what was going on. He asked as he started the game, ¡°¡­What are all of you talking about?¡± [Everyone knows about your situation, don¡¯t worry! We will all help you! Will never let unscrupulous enterprises seed.] Yu Yan frowned. As soon as he was about to continue asking, a message from Lu Xiuhe arrived. Your Great Lord Lu: WTF! Xiao Yan!! I don¡¯t know which idiot put up your entire situation online¡­WTF! [webpage link] It was another Weibo post link. Currently, Yu Yan could feel a headache starting to build up whenever he saw the Weibo app icon. In the era of nationwide Inte, information was updated too fast. During the time that he had been chatting with Liu Ruoruo, another Weibo post had been released. It was a marketing ount who had posted this, and they had even paid for promotion, so this post soon became popr¡ª¡ª [Livestream Express: (anonymously contributed) I have been observing yanxyan¡¯s situation for two days now, and I finally can¡¯t stand to just watch anymore. I have toe out to avenge Xiao Yan! Xiao Yan did y professionally before. The team was called Beast, and I believe that that generation of old Manyang yers who remember a little should recognize it, because the team won many prizes in Manyang at that time. Xiao Yan seemed to be less than 15 years old when he was ying professionally at that time. He worked very hard, always being thest one at night to stop training. He often got the MVP title in the game. If this happened in the present, he would probably be more popr than any big professional yer. So why did he quit?? It¡¯s very simple¡ªbecause the senior managers wouldn¡¯t pay. Xiao Yan had been ying for a whole year, and the sry he received was even less than four figures. If it was you, would you want to leave or not? However, Xiao Yan really hadn¡¯t nned to leave in the beginning. He just stuck to the living expenses being given and kept ying for the team. Until one time, when something happened to his family. It seemed that someone in his family was in the hospital, and during that time, he urgently needed money. He went to our management, Feng Something, to ask for his sry, and finally got only several hundred yuan. That¡¯s right, just a few hundred yuan. The little boy¡¯s eyes were as red as blood at that time, looking extremely pitiful. I couldn¡¯t bear it, and I went back to get my own living expenses to give to him to use, but by the time I returned, he had already left. This matter left a deep impression in my heart, and I have never forgotten it. Later, I heard from his ssmates that he had dropped out of school and his family¡­ didn¡¯t make it. I thought this was the end, a tragedy. Yet in the end, several yearster, this team unexpectedly jumped out and said they would sue him for breach of contract??? Feng Something, I¡¯m going to ask you, do you feel ashamed or not? And those who don¡¯t know the truth and are still trying to cken him, does your conscience really not hurt???] Yu Yan looked at the long Weibo post, and then at thement section that was full of heartbroken words. His head was nk, and he didn¡¯t know what to say for a long while. This whole thing was like a bloody mouth. After going through all the trouble of letting the wound form a scab, someone flipped it open in a recent month and year, vigorously breaking it open again, and then sprinkled some painkillers on it, after which they had the nerve to ask if it was still painful. ¡ª Juurensha: Yanyannnnn, don¡¯t think that Boss Yi is dating you out of pity! No one would pity-date someone so long or so devotedly! And if it was 66 who made the post, shame on him, he should have let Yanyan handle the situation the way he wanted to.

Chapter 85 - I came to borrow your bathroom Chapter 85 - I came to borrow your bathroom Edited by Noks All of Yu Yan¡¯s expressions as he read the Weibo post were clearly captured by the camera. The stream followers were all waiting, waiting for him to react. Maybe he would air his grievances, maybe he would cry; they all held onto their keyboards so as to start typing at any moment, waiting to give somefort through the barrage. Who knew that after Yu Yan finished reading it, he very quietly locked the screen and put his cellphone on the table. ¡°Today, I¡¯m not drawing stream followers. I¡¯ll y squad matches with passer-bys for a while.¡± [£¿£¿£¿] [Xiao Yan, don¡¯t be too sad. It¡¯s all over.] [Yes ah, and there¡¯s also Boss 1 here!] ¡°Sad?¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Why am I sad?¡± A bunch of question marks shed on the screen at once. ¡°You guys are referring to the things on Weibo?¡± Yu Yan seemed to have just understood, and his tone was as usual when he said, ¡°I have already reported that post, and no one should take it seriously.¡± [So you mean that the contributor to Livestream Express was fake?] ¡°You can¡¯t trust everything on the Inte,¡± Yu Yan replied ambiguously. [Wtf! I even cried after reading!! Return my tears!!!] [I was just saying ma, how could apany be so stupid? Setting aside not paying, daring to sue the other party for breach of contract¡­ Isn¡¯t that just courting death?] [Fuck, return my little star from just now!] ¡°Can return, just send your client ount ID in a private message to the stream mods, and I¡¯ll return half.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°The rest¡­ You¡¯ll have to go find the tform.¡± The stream moderator watched with her own eyes as the number of people in the barrage suddenly fell from five figures to four figures. She had nned on calling several more helpers in to help ban people, but unexpectedly, Yu Yan had managed to kill the flow with just two or three sentences. What to say, even though less traffic was a pity, she was still happy to know that this matter was fake. On the other hand, Lu Xiuhe couldn¡¯t figure it out at all. Although it wasn¡¯t very good for that Livestream Express to just disclose people¡¯s private matters like that, it was all true ya. He used to think this kind of person¡ªwho took other people¡¯s private affairs out to distribute to the public, and even did so anonymously¡ªwas disgusting. However, after seeing thements below the post, he thought it had actually turned out for the better. At least no one was scolding Xiao Yan. He refreshed his Weibo to see how thements would change after Yu Yan¡¯s message. Who would have known that after refreshing it, only one system prompt would pop up¡ª¡ª ¡°This Weibo does not exist.¡± After two days of this farce, the curiosity index of stream followers who weren¡¯t in the know about the existence of an anchor called ¡®yanxyan¡¯ had reached the peak. After Yu Yan had been streaming for several hours, he lowered his head to take a nce at his poprity level: around 10 million. No wonder Tuantuan signed with a marketing team¡ªsuch poprity built up too fast. He pursed his lips and continued to click to queue. He kept yed until a few messages appeared on the barrage&#k2014;&#k2014; [How long is the anchor ying today? Still not ending the stream yet?] [Today¡¯s New Year? Extra streaming?] [Xiao Yan, stop for a meal ba¡­.] Only then did Yu Yan realize that it was already ten o¡¯clock in the evening, and that he had exceeded his livestreaming time. He reflexively unlocked his cell phone, and found nothing on its screen. He and Yi Chen seemed to have made an agreement that today no one would take the lead in saying the first sentence. His silence was because he was avoiding him, but what about Yi Chen? Because he was livestreaming, Yu Yan couldn¡¯t think deeply about it. He looked up and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry¡­ After this match, I¡¯ll end it.¡± When the ne took off, all of his teammates, in a very coordinated manner, selected a point above Pochinki. Afternding, Yu Yan quickly ran into a room. While he was picking up a gun, a message popped out on the barrage assistant¡ª [1 has entered the livestream.] He was stunned and before he could say anything¡ª [1 has left the stream.] ¡°¡­¡­¡± [£¿£¿£¿] [Did my eyes glitch?!] [Wtf, your eyes didn¡¯t glitch!! Boss 1 just came in!] [¡­¡­ Then why did he leave again?] Hearing the sound of footsteps made Yu Yan snap out of it quickly. He opened the door, shot downwards, and killed the two people downstairs in a sh. He managed to say, ¡°Maybe he has things to do ba, everyone, don¡¯t message about it.¡± By the time he ended his livestream, it was already half past ten. Yu Yan sat in his gaming chair and looked at the ck screen in front of him, and didn¡¯t move for a long time. He didn¡¯t know how long he sat like that before he slowly raised his head and looked around the room. His gaze fixed onto the envelope lying on the top of the shoe cab. It was a notice announcing that his area would soon be demolished. In fact, the buildings in this area should have been torn down and rebuilt a long time ago. All the houses here were dpidated and often leaky. Many heads of households had already moved away from here. They were willing to rent their houses out, but didn¡¯t want to live in them themselves. It wasn¡¯t as if Yu Yan didn¡¯t have nowhere to go either. The money he had made as an apanying yer was enough for him to rent a better house. He just couldn¡¯t quite give it up. This house was the only thing his parents had left him. He raised his hand and ced the earphones down. He didn¡¯t dare to think about it any more, so he got up and picked up his pajamas, then went to the bathroom. Before entering, Yu Yan thought of something. He hesitated for a moment before he picked up his cellphone and clicked on WeChat chat. Yu Yan: You just came by the livestream, is something the matter? Yu Yan: I have a cold today, and I can¡¯t speak. Won¡¯t video call today, save it until tomorrow¡­ we can talk longer, is that okay? His cellphone still hadn¡¯t received a reply after he came out of the bathroom. It was already nearly eleven o¡¯clock, and Yi Chen should have been done with work. It was raining outside, Yu Yan could even hear the pattering sound of rain. He held his cellphone and saw that there wasn¡¯t even a ¡°Typing¡± prompt on the screen. Finally, he couldn¡¯t help himself and voice-called Yi Chen. The other side picked the call up quickly, and the man¡¯s voice sounded a little deeper than usual, and apanying his voice were some small noises. ¡°¡­.What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°No¡­ I was just a little worried when you didn¡¯t reply.¡± ¡°Saw it, just didn¡¯t have time to reply.¡± Yu Yan went silent for a bit. ¡°Is that so?¡± ¡°En.¡± The other side paused, and then said, ¡°Let¡¯s talkter.¡± When the call was over, WeChat disyed that the call hadsted for 13 seconds. It was also the shortest voice call they had had since they met. He was staring nkly at his cellphone when a QQ message popped up. Your Great Lord Lu: Xiao Yan, are you asleep? Yu Yan: Not yet, what¡¯s the matter? Your Great Lord Lu: Come out. I¡¯ll treat you to barbecue. Yu Yan: Don¡¯t you have ss tomorrow? Your Great Lord Lu: Only in the afternoon. Your Great Lord Lu: I won¡¯t say too much, but I don¡¯t think it¡¯s good for you to be alone right now. Come out and have a drink ba. I¡¯ll apany you, and once you drink until you¡¯re refreshed, everything will be fine after you get up tomorrow. Thinking back on the sensation of having been drunk before, Yu Yan could feel his stomach start to faintly ache. Your Great Lord Lu: Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll just drink at the ce below my house. After we finish drinking, we can just go to my house and sleep it off. It¡¯ll all be fine! Yu Yan was moved. He was in a really bad mood and indeed wanted to find some way to vent. It would also be good for him to find something else to shift his attention to. Yu Yan: Okay, I¡¯ll be right there. He changed his clothes two or three times before he picked up his wallet and cellphone, and went out. As he was locking the door, he heard footstepsing from his right. They were steady and powerful, and very obvious in the dark. He instinctively looked sideways, and after he saw the person who was heading up, his eyes widened¡ª¡ª There was a man standing in the stairwell. Familiar features, familiar smell¡ªit was the person who had just said he was busy on the phone¡ªYi Chen. He had obviously just left right after finishing work; the rain had been too heavy, and the stairs weren¡¯t covered, so his gray suit was dyed dark, and his hair was ttened by beads of water¡ªit was as if his whole person had stepped through a curtain of rain. When he heard the sound of movement, he stopped heading up the stairs, and he looked up to meet Yu Yan¡¯s gaze. Yu Yan froze in his action of locking the door, and even his breathing came to a halt for a few moments. It was at this instant that he realised that he hadn¡¯t really wanted to avoid him, and also that he hadn¡¯t really wanted to not video-call him. Only after this person really appeared standing in front of him did he understand how much he had missed him. After seeing him, Yu Yan¡¯s terrible mood, which he had been holding back all day, inexplicably surged in this moment. These emotions erupted so fast that he couldn¡¯t hold it in well, and after a moment, even his eyes turned a bit red. When Yi Chen saw him, his eyebrows almost imperceptibly twisted, and then he kept heading up, walking step by step up right up to his side. As soon as he had seen that Weibo post, he had immediately asked some people to deal with it. However, this action of his had stille toote; by the time he had found out, the Weibo post already had thousands ofments. While he exhorted people to handle it, he also asked his subordinates to book a ticket to Manyang. He didn¡¯t think too much about it; he had just wanted to apany Yu Yan, not really having the heart to let him face these things alone. Those people thought they were being ¡°just¡±, but all they were doing was turning over other people¡¯s sad past events to give further y to their passion¡±. They didn¡¯t care at all whether bringing up these past events would hurt the involved parties again. Yu Yan returned to his senses, licked his lips in a daze, and then after a long time managed to squeeze out the words, ¡°¡­Why are you here?¡± Yi Chen raised his hand, and casually flicked some water out of his hair. There was so much water that they could even hear the sound of it dripping onto the floor. ¡°I came to borrow your bathroom,¡± he said. Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± ¡ª Juurensha: On one hand, eeeeeee Boss Yiing to visit Yanyan and keep himpany during these hard times! On the other, goddamnit Boss Yi, you should tell Yanyan that, even if you¡¯re dripping wet and need a bath hahaha. Also, LXH is such a good friend. Noks: Damn, Boss Yi. You¡¯ve won me over even more!

Chapter 86 - A milky scent Chapter 86 - A milky scent Edited by Noks and xiin Yu Yan turned the key and opened the door. ¡°Come in ba.¡± He looked behind Yi Chen and asked, ¡°Did youe by yourself?¡± Yi Chen replied, ¡°En.¡± Same day air tickets were usually in short supply, and if it hadn¡¯t been for another business ss passenger refunding their ticket, he would have had toe here by economy ss. How would he even be able to bring others with him? Yi Chen entered the room and looked around subconsciously. The room wasn¡¯t big, but it was neat. It was totally different from Yi Ran¡¯s hideously messy room. Aside from the great number of peripheral decorations ced in front of theputer, there weren¡¯t many objects in other ces. Yu Yan finally managed to snap out of his surprise at this moment. He hesitated and went to the bathroom to get a towel. He lived alone and wasn¡¯t the kind of person who paid great attention to detail, so he hadn¡¯t prepared any extra basic toiletries in his house. He handed the towel to Yi Chen and said, ¡°I don¡¯t have many towels here. You¡­ can use my towel to wipe your hair first? I¡¯ll go to the supermarket and buy another one.¡± Yi Chen took over the gray towel and wringed the rainwater out of his bangs. ¡°I¡¯ll buy it. Where is the supermarket?¡± ¡°Your clothes are all wet, and you¡¯ll catch a cold if you go out again in this chilly weather.¡± Yu Yan went into the bathroom and turned on the hot water. ¡°Take a bath first, I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Have you had dinner? Do you want me to order something for you to eat?¡± ¡°Already ate.¡± Yu Yan came out of the bathroom and was ready to say something but immediately shut up when he clearly saw the scene in the room. Yi Chen had taken off his coat and was untying his tie. Although the suit had blocked a lot of the rain from reaching his inner clothing, the inside had still gotten a bit soaked. The white shirt he was wearing slightly stuck to his skin, outlining the muscle lines the man had quite clearly. And these stark lines¡ªotaku Yu Yan didn¡¯t have them. Yi Chen noticed that there wasn¡¯t any noise, so he looked up just in time to see Yu Yan standing there, staring unblinkingly at him. He smiled slightly and deftly undid his tie. Yu Yan returned to his senses with this action. ¡°I-I¡¯ll go buy towels.¡± ¡°Wait.¡± Yi Chen stopped him. ¡°I was in such a hurry tonight that I haven¡¯t booked a hotel.¡± Yu Yan let out an ¡°oh¡±, took out his mobile phone, and said, ¡°That¡¯s fine, right now isn¡¯t the peak tourist season, and there should be rooms avable in the hotels. I¡¯ll book one for you ba.¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows as he asked, ¡°&#k2026;So generous?¡± ¡°&#k2026;&#k2026; En.¡± Yu Yan put his cellphone in front of him. ¡°Look, what kind of room do you want to stay in?¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t even look at the screen. He continued his previous actions with his hands and said, ¡°When you go to the supermarket in a bit, also buy a toothbrush for me while you¡¯re there.¡± Yu Yan froze. ¡°A toothbrush?¡± ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen said naturally, ¡°Your bed is big enough for both of us to sleep in.¡± The rain outside had gotten much lighter, but it was still drizzling a bit. Yu Yan, holding the umbre, had already walked such a long way away, but his chest was still pounding. He took out his cellphone and called Lu Xiuhe, who picked up only after a long time. Without waiting for him to speak, Lu Xiuhe, seemingly in a hurry, spoke first, ¡°Xiao Yan, where are you? You can¡¯t have already left the house ba?¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I did go out¡­¡± ¡°Fuck, this¡­ Ah.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°I suddenly have some pretty urgent stuff going on here now and might not be able to go. Ah, what¡¯s going on with this¡­ sorry ah, Xiao Yan. Where are you?¡± Yu Yan hurriedly replied, ¡°It¡¯s fine, I suddenly have something here too.¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on ah?¡± Lu Xiuhe was surprised. ¡°And there¡¯s traffic noiseing from your side.¡± ¡°En, a guest came over. I¡¯m going to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°What¡¯s going on over there with you, it¡¯s not really serious, is it ba?¡± During ordinary times, Lu Xiuhe would definitely be curious. After all, Yu Yan had few friends, and how could there be many people who would visit his home in the middle of the night? However, he had something to do at hand, so he didn¡¯t care to ask for more details. ¡°That¡¯s good, then. I don¡¯t have much going on here, it¡¯s just that one of my friends is ill and has no one to look after him, so I need to go check in on him. Let¡¯s change it to some other day if we have time, we¡¯ll make up this meal then.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± ¡ª¡ª After waiting for him to go out, Yi Chen didn¡¯t rush into the bathroom. He took out his cellphone and called his assistant. The opposite side had already been waiting for a long time. Seeing the iing call, he hurriedly answered, ¡°President Yi.¡± ¡°Has dinner been cancelled?¡± Yi Chen hung up his suit jacket and asked. The assistant looked at the people in the private room and whispered, ¡°Cancelled it, but as you said, they still came here.¡± Yi Chen originally had a dinner scheduled for tonight. If it had been a normal work scheduled dinner, that would have been fine, but this was a family dinner. It had only been due to Mother Yi¡¯s constant exhortations that Yi Chen had even agreed to go. The purpose of this dinner party was for no other reason, but that those distant rtives wanted to plead for the perpetrators of the ident from some time ago. Even if you¡¯re not going to relent, you still have to show up for the meal¡ªthese were Mother Yi¡¯s original words. The assistant looked at the people who were eating and drinking, and the disgust on his face couldn¡¯t even be covered up. The Yi family had counted as a big n many years ago. They had rtives spread out all over the world, but many of them had the problem of the subsequent generation growing up more inferior than the one before. Up to now, only Yi Chen¡¯s part of the family had developed the best, so it wasn¡¯t surprising that the other rtives wanted to climb onto this high branch. However, these people weren¡¯t just content with making connections ah, they directly wanted to devour the boss¡¯ flesh and drink the boss¡¯ blood. Every time they opened their mouths, all that came out was about opening a branchpany, as if their boss¡¯ money had been earned from a big wind blowing by and dumping money on him. And what he had seen was just the surface; whatever happened inside was possibly even more excessive. ¡°Then, boss, do the meetings scheduled for the next two days need to be cancelled?¡± he asked. ¡°No need, change them to video conferences.¡± ¡°But you don¡¯t have aputer¡­¡± Yi Chen looked at the machine not far away and said, ¡°I have aputer here. Change the time and schedule all of them for the morning.¡± ¡°Understood.¡± After hanging up, Yi Chen turned around and entered the bathroom. The bathroom wasn¡¯t small, and because there was no bathtub, the space could count as being suitably-sized. Yi Chen nced at the shelf, picked up thergest bottle, and looked at it. It had a logo of a small flying elephant that was smiling on it. Milk Scented Shower Gel? With a smile and augh, he put the shower gel back in ce. Then, with a flick of his fingertips at the switch, hot water immediately gushed out of the shower head. As soon as Yu Yan opened the door, he heard the sound of watering from the bathroom. He went to the bathroom door, then carefully opened it and handed in a stic bag. ¡°I¡¯m back with the things, and there¡¯s a toothbrush as well.¡± All he heard was the sound of water gushing out of the shower. Yu Yan held the bag out for a while but still received no response. He shook his hand subconsciously and called out, ¡°Yi Chen?¡± His shaking hand was held. The other party¡¯s palm had hot water all over it, warming up the back of his hand. The stic bag was taken away, and he said, ¡°Thank you.¡± Yu Yan was stunned, and hurriedly took back his hand. ¡°No problem.¡± Yi Chen came out of the bathroom with a gust of milky scent. At this time, Yu Yan was airing out another quilt. He was bent and crouched over, so that his clothes outlined his thin waist. Hearing the sound of movement, he turned back and saw the man standing behind him with his head down as he smelt the scent on the new towel. Meeting his gaze, Yi Chen said softly, ¡°I was just wondering what scent was usually on your body¡­ you¡¯re this old, how is it that you are still using milk-scented infant shower gel?¡± ¡ª The author has something to say: It¡¯s really short I¡¯m scolding myself ¡ª Juurensha: Heeey Yi Chen, anyone can use milk shower gel! Also hahaha, inviting himself to sleep in Yanyan¡¯s bed as Yanyan just 404¡¯s. (Sidenote: Mother Yi, why do you keep wanting Yi Chen to talk to Yi family rtives?

Edited by xiin and Noks Once a person did something for a long time, it would be a habit. Yu Yan was also like that¡ªthat bath gel had been sold in the nearby supermarket for several years, so he¡¯d used it for several years. He paused when hearing this question, and then replied, ¡°I¡¯ve been using it for a long time, and I¡¯ve never changed it. Does it smell really bad?¡± Yi Chen put down the towel. ¡°No, it smells very good.¡± He had brought a small suitcase with him this time. He had packed the clothes that had been prepared and had been left in the office in case of a sudden business trip, along with a stack of documents. He changed into some loose loungewear that was much morefortable than his suit from just now, then raised his hand to casually wipe at his hair before gesturing towards the gaming chair with his chin. ¡°Can I sit there?¡± ¡°Yes, sit wherever you like,¡± Yu Yan said. Yi Chen sat without any restraint in the gaming chair. As soon as he wanted to say something, Yu Yan picked up his clothes, tossed out a, ¡°I¡¯ll take a shower,¡± and entered the bathroom. Sounds could be hearding out through the bathroom door. Yi Chen looked back at the documents in his hands and read them for a bit, but it was really hard to keep going. So he closed the folder, leaned back, and looked at theputer desk in front of him. Seeing it like this, he couldn¡¯t help the corners of his mouth from curling up. Usually, the camera was facing Yu Yan, and so no one could see theputer desk. Now, he could see that two pieces of printed paper had been stuck to the left and right sides of the screen. There were several lines of big, ck characters on it¡ª¡ª ¡°If they get angry, I can¡¯t get irate. If I get sick from anger, there will be no one to help me rehabilitate. If I die of anger, who will care? Besides, it¡¯s painful and will only leave me threadbare.¡± When Yu Yan came out, he saw Yi Chen taking a photograph of the tworge pieces of paper stuck on the back of hisputer desk with his cellphone. Hearing the sound of movement, Yi Chen didn¡¯t turn his head as he said, ¡°I¡¯ll ask my assistant to print one for me and stick it up in the office.¡± Seeing what he was doing, Yu Yan blurted out, ¡°That¡¯s¡­ not very elegant ba.¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows. ¡°I¡¯ll learn from you and stick it up secretly.¡± ¡°I just stuck it up casually.¡± Yu Yan exined awkwardly, ¡°Some stream followers are pretty irritating.¡± ¡°Some employees are even more irritating.¡± Yi Chen turned around and was ready to say something, but as soon as the words formed in his mouth, he tucked them back inside. Yu Yan had changed into very ordinary pajamas. In order to befortable, his pajamas were very loose, and the cor of his top was too big. With just one nce, Yi Chen could see his whole vicle. His vicle was very conspicuous; although it was thin, it wasn¡¯t exaggerated, and the lines were very attractive. At such a time, he didn¡¯t want to mention those employees who were a headache at all. Yu Yanughed and turned to open the balcony door to hang his clothes on the clothes drying rack. It was raining outside, and soon, pretty much all his clothes were hanging there. There was only thest item left. He turned his back and hung his underwear on the hanger and looked upwards to hang it up, but his gaze was then drawn to a particr item hanging above, and his movements froze¡ª¡ª Not far from ahead, hung a pair of men¡¯s ck underwear. It wasn¡¯t his. To say why Yu Yan was so sure about that¡ªone was that it was the wrong brand; the brand name in English was written at the top of the underwear, and the cost of one of these pairs of underwear was the same as five of his. The second was that¡­ it was the wrong size. The one that Yu Yan was carrying in his hands was obviously a few sizes smaller than the one above. He blushed with shame, then silently turned around and hung up his underwear in the spot farthest from this other pair. Men were very concerned about this, Yu Yan included. You¡¯re still young, and you can still grow; there¡¯s no shame there¡ªHe said to himself in his heart. Yi Chen got up, picked up several documents, and found a random ce to set them down. When Yu Yan came back inside from the balcony, he asked, ¡°Which side do you like to sleep on?¡± Yu Yan froze, and then said, ¡°¡­Anything¡¯s fine.¡± Yi Chen nodded and replied, ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll sleep on the outside.¡± Yu Yan sat in the chair and took out a notebook, but his gaze constantly kept sweeping over to his side. Yi Cheny in the bed extremely naturally. He propped his head on one hand and asked, ¡°What are you writing?¡± ¡°Noting down livestream duration times,¡± Yu Yan said honestly, ¡°and the ID of the new boss of today¡¯s stream to make it easier for them to jump the ler.¡± His star list was already unable to contain all of his bosses¡¯ IDs. Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°My name is there too?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°The first one.¡± Yi Chen was satisfied and wanted to say something else when the cellphone on the desk suddenly rang. He took a look, and it was a call from Yi Ran. ¡°Ge, why haven¡¯t youe home yet?¡± Yi Ran asked from the other end, ¡°I¡¯ve gotten crayfish to-go for you, it¡¯s garlic vored.¡± ¡°I¡¯m noting home tonight,¡± said Yi Chen. Yi Ran let out an ¡°oh¡± and asked, ¡°Did you go on a business trip ah?¡± ¡°No.¡± Yi Chen added, ¡°What else?¡± Yi Ran hesitated and said, ¡°Ge, Cheng Ge just called me to tell me that he is having a party this weekend and wants me to go with you.¡± Yi Ran wasn¡¯t stupid. As soon as Mo Nancheng had spoken, he had understood that some kind of conflict had probably sparked between the two men. Speaking of which, it was pretty strange; his Ge and Cheng Ge had known each other for so long, but had never fallen out before. They rarely even had disagreements, so this time, something big must have happened. He originally hadn¡¯t wanted to poke at this bad situation, but the reward Mo Nancheng had offered was just too tempting. The sound of someone speaking suddenly ceased around him. Yu Yan¡¯s pen tip paused, he looked over curiously, and their gazes met. Yi Chen¡¯s eyes were dark, so he couldn¡¯t see what the other person was thinking. Upon meeting Yu Yan¡¯s gaze, he gathered up his thoughts, raised his hand and crooked his fingers, beckoning him over. Yu Yan¡¯s face grew warm. Seeing his expression that showed that he was at a loss, Yi Chen¡¯s glum mood from hearing Yi Ran¡¯s words suddenly disappeared. Yi Ran didn¡¯t get an answer, so he called out again, ¡°Ge?¡± Yi Chen replied, ¡°If you want to go¡­¡± Yi Ran interrupted, ¡°I want to go! I really want to go!~¡± Yi Chen¡¯s tone was as usual as he replied, ¡°Then just go by yourself. If I¡¯m not there, he¡¯ll still let you in.¡± Yi Ran: ¡°¡­.¡± Having known him for a long time, Yi Ran knew that his Ge was like a hard stone. As long as he said ¡°no¡± once, he wouldn¡¯t change his mind about it ever again. He simply didn¡¯t waste his energy and asked, ¡°Ge, where did you go on a business trip?¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t say that he wasn¡¯t on a business trip, but simply said, ¡°Manyang.¡± ¡°Why did you go to Manyang again?¡± Yi Ran asked, ¡°Is the weather very good in Manyang? I¡¯m freezing to death in Jincheng. Ge, which hotel are you staying in? How about I go find you ba.¡± Yi Chen asked, ¡°Not going to the party?¡± ¡°I cane back before the weekend.¡± Yi Ran opened the hotel booking app and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Ge. My dad has returned my card to me, so I have money now. I can book my own hotel room.¡± ¡°Do whatever you want, I¡¯m not staying in a hotel,¡± said Yi Chen. Yi Ran stopped and asked, ¡°Ah? If you¡¯re not staying in a hotel, then where are you staying?¡± Instead of answering this question, Yi Chen stated, ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯m hanging up.¡± ¡°Oh, by the way, there¡¯s more. I saw that there¡¯s apany saying they want to sue Xiao Yan when I was browsing Weibo today. Ge, do you know anything about that?¡± After saying this, Yi Ran paused and immediately felt that something was off. ¡°¡ªHey, wait¡­ Ge, you¡¯re in Manyang? It couldn¡¯t be that you¡­¡± Yi Chen hung up. He dropped his cell phone on the desk and asked the person in the chair, ¡°Done writing?¡± Yu Yan let out an ¡°en.¡± Yi Chen asked, ¡°Sleep?¡± Yu Yan nodded twice.¡±¡­.Sleep.¡± Although Yi Chen had used his body wash, it hadn¡¯t managed to cover up the original scent on his bodypletely. Yu Yany in bed, smelling the fragrance of milk mixed with Gi cologne, his mind aplete mess. His bed wasn¡¯t small, but it also couldn¡¯t be consideredrge. Two adult men, whenying on it together, made it still a little crowded. Yu Yany on his side, facing outwards, trying to avoid touching the person behind him. He blinked and blinked in the dark, not sleepy at all. Everyone said that fortune and misfortune came hand-in-hand. Was it because he had had such a bad day that he was now attaining such a fortunate thing? It was quiet behind him, there was no sound at all. Yu Yan was in a daze for 10 minutes. Only after the sound of a steady breathing came from behind him did he turn his head carefully. Yi Chen was lying on his back with his eyes closed. Under the moonlight, Yu Yan could see the faint outline of his facial features. Yu Yancked a thesaurus, so the only words he could think of was that he was so handsome, more handsome than all the men he had ever seen. He stared at him for a long time before quietly looking away. Since he was unable to sleep, he simply didn¡¯t try to sleep. He carefully propped himself up, quickly took his cellphone from the table, and theny down gently. After muting the sound and changing the brightness of the cellphone screen to the lowest setting, he then started surfing the Inte. Usually, when he couldn¡¯t sleep, aside from video-calling with Yi Chen, he just watched movies. However, he was used to ying the movies out aloud when he watched them. After all, it would be bothersome to wear earphones again after having worn them for the entire day. Next to the movie app was the Weibo icon. He was still hesitating when a message appeared at the top of the screen. Your Great Lord Lu: I know you¡¯re in a bad mood, so let me show you a silly collection. [Weibo link: Sharing today¡¯s happiness, Dummy.gif¡­.] It was as if Lu Xiuhe knew what was going on, so had quickly helped him make a choice. Yu Yan replied with a ¡°thanks¡± and clicked into that Weibo link. The gifs were all very funny, and as he watched, the corners of his mouth drew up crazily, and he had to hold hisughter in. After seeing all nine gifs, he even raised his hand to like it, then habitually swiped to the left, and the Weibo interface jumped to his personal home page. The message notification bar below his name still showed 999+ unread messages. His smile froze at once. After Yi Chen¡¯s arrival, all these troubles had been tossed to the back of his mind. Now, seeing this unread message count had dragged the problem in front of him again. He hesitated for a long time, and then still raised his hand to click on the message bar. Yet, in the end, before he could see the interface clearly, he heard the sound of something flipping from behind him. Suddenly, his back was stered with a warm heat, and then his ears were slightly rubbed by something that also blew a cool breeze past them. Yu Yan¡¯s screen was suddenly covered by a big hand. The sound of the person behind him breathing hit his ear, and because he had fallen asleep for a little while, his voice was still hoarse as he said, ¡°Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and reading these things?¡± Yu Yan basically stopped breathing altogether. They were so close that he could feel the slight contractions of Yi Chen¡¯s chest every time he breathed. ¡°It¡¯s just¡­ I can¡¯t quite sleep.¡± ¡°Will you be able to sleep after reading this?¡± This voice was right next to his ears every night, so Yu Yan originally thought that he had gotten used to it. Until His Honor spoke directly into his ears. He couldn¡¯t get used to it; he wouldn¡¯t be able to get used to it for the rest of his life. ¡°I just want to see the fans¡¯ messages.¡± In the dark, Yu Yan¡¯s face was red. ¡°Or their opinions.¡± ¡°Why bother reading their opinions?¡± Yi Chen¡¯s fingers exerted a little force, and Yu Yan¡¯s cellphone locked with a very clear click, and darkness was restored around them. ¡°If you really want to know, you can ask me; I¡¯m also a fan.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Yu Yan could feel the warmth at his back as his thoughts froze. Not hearing an answer, Yi Chenid his head on his hand, and with interest, his other hand left the cellphone to wander over urately to Yu Yan¡¯s chin, scratching it gently with his fingertips, just as if tickling a cat. ¡°Talk ah.¡± What could he talk about?! Yu Yan almost raised his hands in surrender. He asked, ¡°Then what opinions do you have?¡± ¡°Opinions.¡± Yi Chen thought about it and said, ¡°You¡¯re too easy to bully.¡± He paused and continued, ¡°When they said they wanted to sue you, you should have replied back directly, ¡®Can¡¯t sue me, you¡¯re my grandson.¡¯¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t expect Yi Chen to utter such an earthy remark. For a while, he was in a daze. ¡°¡­Where did you even learn that from?¡± ¡°Stream followers taught it.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°And those antis, they stir up trouble in yourments, so you should delete theirments, ban their ounts, and then @them toe out. Humiliate them however you want, just piss them offpletely.¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°The Weibo ount is yours, and the livestream is also yours. If they curse you, just hit back; don¡¯t sulk by yourself. Whatever the case, I¡¯ll support you.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s expression was careless, but his tone was serious. Yu Yan heard this, and his nose grew sour. He didn¡¯t like to cry, but there had already been two times where he almost hadn¡¯t been able to hold back today. He pushed through the sourness and suddenly asked, ¡°Yi Chen, do I look very pitiful?¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows, gesturing that he didn¡¯t quite understand his words. Yu Yan turned his head, and his nose pretty much pressed into Yi Chen¡¯s face. His eyes glittered in the gloom, and he asked, ¡°Do you also feel distressed for me?¡± Yi Chen looked back at him, silent for a moment, and admitted, ¡°En.¡± Yu Yan looked at him for a long time, and then also followed with a gentle ¡°en¡±. Even if Yi Chen only hugged and kissed him because he felt distressed for him, it didn¡¯t matter. As long as they were together now, he would try his best to make Yi Chen really and truly like him through all means possible. Yi Chen saw the expression on the face of the person in front of him suddenly turn serious, but he didn¡¯t know what he was thinking. He lowered his head and kissed Yu Yan. It was a light kiss, and he spoke in a natural tone, ¡°When you see the person you like wronged, anyone would feel distressed ba.¡± Dark stratagems had just started brewing in Yu Yan¡¯s heart, and he was firmly deciding to drive away other people who liked Yi Chen. Hearing this though, he immediately froze. ¡°Ah.¡± ¡°Last time at the airport, I originally wanted to kiss you, but there were too many people around.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°I don¡¯t care¡­ but I was afraid that you¡¯d be photographed. You¡¯re only livestreaming, but how did you manage to be as popr as a little star? It¡¯s not convenient.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s heart was about to jump out. However, his expression was still calm. He didn¡¯t answer. Using their current position, he suddenly raised his hand to hook Yi Chen¡¯s neck and pressed his lips against his. Yi Chen was a bit surprised. He remained still, letting Yu Yan bump around. As they kissed and kissed, a warm heat poked against his lips. Yi Chen chuckled and opened his mouth to let him in. The two of them kissed for a long time, until Yu Yan felt tired of propping himself up andy down again. ¡°I¡¯m not a star, and I¡¯m also not afraid of getting photographed,¡± he gasped. Yi Chen¡¯s breathing was also a little short. Heughed and said, ¡°You¡¯ve be so promising?¡± ¡°¡­¡­ I¡¯ve always been very promising,¡± Yu Yan said. Yi Chen leaned over, but this time, he just kissed the tip of his nose. Just then, he was afraid that he wouldn¡¯t have been able to sit still anymore if that kiss had continued on. But Yu Yan was different. This was his first time liking someone and his first time dating someone, and he was at a vigorous age. At this time, his eyes shone brightly as he swallowed. After being kissed on the tip of his nose, he couldn¡¯t help it. He lifted himself up, wanting to draw closer again. When Yi Chen saw this, he pressed Yu Yan¡¯s forehead. Although his tone was light, his voice had already been tinged with lust. ¡°If you keep going, we¡¯ll have to go to the supermarket again,¡± he said. Yu Yan didn¡¯t understand. ¡°To buy what?¡± ¡°Lubricant and condoms.¡± Yu Yan, who didn¡¯t even really watch porn, sucked in a breath. He stared at him with wide eyes, then blinked and asked, ¡°Should you go to buy it, or should I?¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Youths were really good at teasing people. Yi Chen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed, and he said, ¡°Don¡¯t stir up trouble, not tonight.¡± Things between men were different than those with a woman, and there were many aspects that needed to be paid attention to. He hadn¡¯t researched it yet, and so didn¡¯t want to recklessly take him. Yu Yan took heed of what he said. Yi Chen said no, so he didn¡¯t keep pressing either. Then¡­ there must be a reason for not doing it tonight ma. Since he didn¡¯t have any reason to not do it, then it was Yi Chen who had an issue. Never ask a man, ¡°Why can¡¯t you do it?¡± ¡ªYu Yan knew this much at least. When Yi Chen saw that he didn¡¯t say anything anymore, his heart felt tickled. Clearly it was him who didn¡¯t let Yu Yan continue, but atst he lowered his head and kissed him again. Five minutester, Yi Chen lifted up the nkets and got up. Yu Yan, who was a little dizzy from all the kissing, looked at him nkly and asked, ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°Bathroom,¡± said Yi Chen. ¡°Wait.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s face grew redder. He said, ¡°I¡­. Can I go first? I¡­. It¡¯s very urgent.¡± Yi Chen took a deep breath. If not for the fear of misfiring, he even wanted Yu Yan to help him. ¡°I¡¯m even more urgent,¡± he said stiffly. ¡°¡­¡­¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Hahahaha, while it¡¯s sweet that Yi Chen wants to research things properly first before their first time (other MLs, take note!), I don¡¯t think Yanyan would mind just helping you out a little there Boss Yi. You could even help each other out, huhuhuhu¡­¡­ (And I¡¯m d they got through that misunderstanding that Boss Yi is pity dating Yanyan, although it was cute that Yanyan was like well, it doesn¡¯t matter why we got together, what matters is that I need to make him properly fall in love with me now!)

Edited by xiin and Noks Once the bathroom door closed, Yu Yany back down, feeling hot and dry all over. In this situation, he didn¡¯t consider what he said in great detail. ¡°¡­Then hurry up.¡± He wasn¡¯t loud, but the person inside the bathroom would definitely be able to hear him. The bathroom door remained tightly closed for five minutes. 10 minutes. 15 minutes¡­ Although Yu Yan wasn¡¯t in as much of a hurry right now as he had been before, that energy hadn¡¯t gone down, and he felt very ufortable holding it in. He nced at the time and made sure that he had already been waiting for nearly 20 minutes. He couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Yi Chen, you¡¯re still not done?¡± Only after a long time did Yi Chen¡¯s hoarse voice sound out from the inside of the bathroom as he answered, ¡°Wait.¡± Then, after what seemed to be an indeterminable amount of time, the door finally opened. Yu Yan¡¯s ears turned hot. He got up quickly and scurried over. ¡°I¡¯m going in.¡± He said that, and without waiting for Yi Chen¡¯s answer, just rushed into the bathroom and quickly closed the door¡ª¡ª He had taken this series of actions too quickly, and by the time Yu Yan thought it through once more, he was too embarrassed to open the door again. The exhaust fan in the bathroom hadn¡¯t been turned on, and because it was raining, the window hadn¡¯t been opened either. With the door being closed for that long, the air cirction speed in the bathroom had already dropped rapidly and was now stagnating. Yu Yan smelled the scent of milk in the air, along with another unusual smell. Maybe it was because his senses were too sensitive right now, but he definitely couldn¡¯t have smelled this scent during normal times. His mood, which had somewhat calmed down originally, immediately perked up again. He clenched his teeth and realised that he shouldn¡¯t think about it any more, so he closed his eyes and chanted to himself. ¡ªJust pretend that I¡¯m at home alone, just pretend that everything is as usual, just pretend that Yi Chen isn¡¯t in my home¡­ Who would have known that the more he chanted these things to himself, the more he thought about the extra scent that lingered in the air, and the more he thought about the person on the other side of the door¡­ the more he felt. After a moment, there were two knocks on the door. Yi Chen, who was standing outside the door, said, ¡°It¡¯ste. Don¡¯t dy going to sleep.¡± ¡°Or, how about I help you?¡± ¡°&#k2026;&#k2026;¡± Yu Yan heard his voice, and these two sentences that had been spoken in a low voice. All of a sudden, every single one of the emotions and sensations he was feeling rushed to a peak together. His whole back was numb, and he felt so good that goosebumps broke out all over his body. He sat on the toilet with his eyes wide open and didn¡¯t return to his senses for a long time. ¡°¡­¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Yu Yan! You¡¯re too fast ah!! He cleaned up quickly, stood up abruptly, and replied absent-mindedly, ¡°I¡¯m¡­ fine on my own.¡± Yi Chen, who was still leaning outside, smiled at this. ¡°Done?¡± ¡°No!¡± Yu Yan stood in front of the mirror. ¡°I¡ªI¡¯ll still be a bit. If you¡¯re sleepy, go to sleep first ba.¡± In front of his boyfriend, he must have no undesirable aspect for which points could be deducted. Yi Chen had to press his lips together to control his smile. He nodded his head with great care and said, ¡°That¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡­¡± In the end, Yu Yan didn¡¯t want Yi Chen to wait for too long outside. He silently counted for three minutes before slowly opening the bathroom door. The bedsidemp was on, and Yi Chen was reclined against the head of the bed, holding something in his hand. When he heard the sound of movement, he raised his head and said naturally, ¡°So long.¡± Youths should be spoiled and praised. Yu Yan had a guilty conscience and was too embarrassed to say anything in reply. Before closing the bathroom door, he raised his hand and turned on the exhaust fan. ¡°¡­What are you reading?¡± ¡°Nothing, just taking a look.¡± Yi Chen closed the document and put it aside. Yu Yan had justid back in bed when the bedsidemp immediately went out. In the dark, a big hand reached out from the other end. He felt his waist being gently encircled. With the kind of contact they had had just now, the two of them didn¡¯t regard this back to chest spooning posture as something too intimate. Yu Yan wasparatively thin, so his waist was thinner than that of an average boy¡¯s. Yi Chen felt as if he had nothing in his arms. He frowned a little and said, ¡°Eat moreter.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I always eat on time.¡± He also couldn¡¯t understand it; he ate three meals a day, all Chinese food, and then also indulged in dinner and midnight snacks. He didn¡¯t like to exercise very much, so he couldn¡¯t understand why he just wouldn¡¯t be fat. Even if it was the kind of fat that appeared as a small bulge on the stomach, that was fine, it could be reduced anytime. Yi Chen said, ¡°You should eat nutritious food. Don¡¯t eat take-out anymore, I¡¯ll get someone to send food over.¡± Yu Yan was stunned. ¡°No need, why bother?¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t n to discuss this thing any further with him, and he simply continued, ¡°And you need to keep fit. Are there any gyms nearby?¡± Yu Yan thought for a moment. ¡°One opened up in thest two months.¡± ¡°Where is it?¡± ¡°After swindling the nearby residents into applying for a fitness card, they closed the shop and left.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± ¡°Then buy some exercise equipment,¡± said Yi Chen. ¡°How can it fit ah.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s body temperature felt veryfortable. Yu Yan had been a little nervous at first, but after having spent this long a time lying down against him, he could feel sleepiness roll over him. He yawned as he suggested, ¡°¡­I¡¯ll go jogging.¡± Yi Chen thought that Manyang¡¯s environment was good, but it wasn¡¯t convenient. This city was too small, and its development couldn¡¯t bepared with that of Jincheng¡¯s at all. It was okay for the elderly to live in this city, but it wasn¡¯t quite suitable for young people who were in their prime. Mainly, it was too far away from him. He thought for a long time, and his hand tightened a bit, so that he could feel the slight ups and downs of the chest of the person in his arms as he breathed. ¡°Yu Yan,¡± he called out. Yu Yan was just about to fall asleep. Hearing his name, he immediately opened his eyes and said, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Hearing the sleepiness in his voice, Yi Chen swallowed the words he was about to utter. It was still early, don¡¯t be too impatient. ¡°Sleep.¡± ¡°¡­¡­ En.¡± ¡ª Yu Yan had originally thought he would be too nervous to sleep at all. But that obviously wasn¡¯t the case. When he woke up, he first touched the empty space next to him, then picked up his cellphone and looked at it. Finally, he determined that he had slept for at least 10 hours and had not dreamt all night long, sleeping soundly. It was already nearly time for him to start streaming, so he immediately came around and sat up from his bed. What about Yi Chen? He picked up his cellphone and was just about to go look for him when he heard a door open from his left, which was followed closely by the curtains being pulled open, and then the light from the noon sun immediately burst into the room through the gap. ¡°I won¡¯t be in Jincheng for the next two days. Our project team is following up with your coboration¡­¡± Meeting Yu Yan¡¯s gaze, Yi Chen continued, ¡°If it¡¯s a work issue, you can contact the project leader. Uncle Cheng, I didn¡¯t mean that, but it¡¯d be best if we didn¡¯t let private affairs interfere with public duty¡­ Of course, privately, whenever you¡¯re free, I will apany you to dinner at any time after I return to Jincheng.¡± Upon seeing him, Yu Yan¡¯s heart settled down. He was afraid of disturbing the other party¡¯s phone call, so he got up lightly and mouthed, ¡°I¡¯ll go brush my teeth.¡± Yi Chen nodded. Yu Yan went into the bathroom and saw two toothbrushes in his toothbrush cup, one of which he had boughtst night. He had been so careless yesterday that he had only remembered to buy a toothbrush, but hadn¡¯t bought an extra cup. He took out the two toothbrushes, held the other one in his hand, and began to brush with his own. Quite a few of Yi Chen¡¯s work calls came and went during this while, and he spoke on the phone for nearly half an hour. There were professional terms mixed into his words, but Yi Chen talked openly in the room, and Yu Yan didn¡¯t pay much attention to what he was saying. After he hung up, Yi Chen asked him, ¡°Did I wake you up?¡± Yu Yan turned on hisputer and raised his head when he heard him. ¡°No, I woke up naturally.¡± The sound instion quality of his windows seemed to be much better than he had expected. ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen asked, ¡°Go eat?¡± There was an hour left before the start of the livestream, which was enough for them to partake in lunch. ¡°Okay, what would you like to eat?¡± Because the clothes had been taken from those present at thepany, almost all of the clothes Yi Chen had brought were white-cor shirts and suits. He buttoned up his top button as he said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were going to take me to eat hot and sour noodles?¡± The hot and sour noodle shop was actually an early breakfast shop. By the time they reached it, the shop had nearly closed. The proprietress saw him, paused in her action of cleaning up, and smiled. ¡°Xiao Yan, howe you came over here today? Don¡¯t you usually order takeout?¡± ¡°I¡¯m more free today.¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Are you still selling hot and sour noodles?¡± ¡°Selling them, I¡¯ll make it for you alone.¡± They casually found a spot to sit. Two bowls of hot and sour noodles were served. The proprietress had a face wreathed in smiles and kept looking at Yi Chen. After all, it was rare to see someone wearing such respectable clothes and who was also so tall and handsome in such a small shop like theirs. ¡°Xiao Yan, is this your rtive?¡± the proprietress asked. Yu Yan was just about to open his mouth when Yi Chen broke apart his chopsticks and answered first, ¡°No.¡± The proprietress asked, ¡°Oh, then a friend?¡± ¡°No,¡± said Yi Chen. The proprietress hesitated. ¡°A new neighbor?¡± ¡°No.¡± Finally, the proprietress pondered for a while and then asked, ¡°You can¡¯t be Xiao Yan¡¯s teacher?¡± Even the teacher option had popped out? You could have just guessed a ssmate instead. Yi Chen forced himself to smile as he replied, ¡°Also no.¡± It was no wonder why the proprietress didn¡¯t say ssmate. Yi Chen was a man dressed in a Western suit and leather shoes, and although he didn¡¯t look old, he couldn¡¯t be Yu Yan¡¯s ssmate. Yu Yan held back hisughter and interrupted their conversation, ¡°Madam, today¡¯s hot and sour noodles are delicious.¡± ¡°Right?¡± The proprietress¡¯ focus was shifted. ¡°I specially brought the chilis from my hometown. If you like it, I¡¯ll add some more for you.¡± ¡°No need, it¡¯s just right.¡± Yi Chen took a taste. It was really good, but it was too spicy. When the proprietress left, he asked, ¡°How long have you lived here?¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I have lived here since I was born.¡± Yi Chen nodded; no wonder he was so familiar with the proprietress. It was just a bowl of hot and sour noodles, and they soon finished eating. When it came to paying the bill, Yu Yan was ahead of him. ¡°You came to Manyang, of course I¡¯ll treat you.¡± Yi Chen paused in the action of taking out his wallet and let him have his way. ¡°Okay.¡± The proprietress took out the shop¡¯s QR code while she kept ncing at Yi Chen. She could tell from both the other party¡¯s words and actions that this was a very cultured person. This kind of high-quality man sessfully aroused the matchmaker¡¯s heart hidden in women. ¡°Young man.¡± She smiled kindly and decided to wing it as she asked, ¡°How old are you? Are you married?¡± The two of them paused. ¡°No,¡± said Yi Chen. ¡°Do you have a girlfriend?¡± ¡°Also no.¡± ¡°Oh, that¡¯s good. That¡¯s very good.¡± The proprietress turned her head and asked Yu Yan, ¡°Xiao Yan, do you remember Meimei Jiejie? That youngdy who lives upstairs.¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t understand how this topic was brought up and reflexively said, ¡°I remember.¡± The proprietress said, ¡°Meimei ya, she went to design school, and she looks pretty good¡­ Xiao Yan knows her, she¡¯s a nice youngdy, isn¡¯t she?¡± This kind of question, Yu Yan naturally couldn¡¯t reply with a no. In fact, he didn¡¯t even remember what that Meimei looked like. ¡°Yes,¡± he agreed. The proprietress said, ¡°I took a look just now ya, and thought that if Meimei and your friend were standing together, they would definitely look so good together!¡± Yu Yan was dazed. ¡°What?¡± Yi Chen had already recognized the signs a long time ago. Originally, he had wanted to suppress this topic. However, who knew that once he saw Yu Yan¡¯s dazed appearance, he merely raised an eyebrow and endured the conversation. The proprietress said, ¡°I mean, since both of them are single, why don¡¯t I be the middleman and set a time for your friend and Meimei to meet each other?¡± Yu Yan suddenly saw the light. ¡°¡­¡± Yi Chen leaned a little closer to him and said, ¡°No need.¡± ¡°No ya, don¡¯t be shy. This kind of thing is very normal.¡± As soon as the bill was paid, the proprietress immediately closed the QR code app and looked through Meimei¡¯s WeChat. ¡°I¡¯ll show you her picture. Her profile photo is really beautiful¡­¡± ¡°No need.¡± This time it was Yu Yan who opened his mouth. He took Yi Chen¡¯s wrist and said, ¡°Madam, we¡¯re going first.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t go ah!¡± The proprietress hurriedly looked up. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with just meeting each other? Xiao Yan, you¡¯re still young, so you don¡¯t understand. When you grow up, some aunties will also help introduce you¡­¡± Yu Yan stopped when he heard these words. He turned around and took a step to the left,ing to a stop when he was standing side by side with Yi Chen, and then asked, ¡°What do you think of me, Madam?¡± ¡°Of course you¡¯re good ah, I also watched you grow up,¡± the proprietress replied, not understanding the purpose behind it. Yu Yan asked again, ¡°Then do you think the two of us look good together?¡± The proprietress was confused. ¡°With whom? Meimei? That¡¯s not good, Meimei is much older than you¡­¡± Yi Chen had still been smiling at the beginning. However, upon hearing this sentence, the corners of his mouth imperceptibly tightened, and he interrupted her, ¡°Not with Meimei.¡± Proprietress: ¡°Ah?¡± ¡°With me.¡± Proprietress: ¡°¡­Ah.¡± ¡ª¡ª Yu Yan returned home just in time to start the livestream. ¡°You stream.¡± Yi Chen took his documents and moved a chair next to him to sit in. ¡°I won¡¯t bother you while you¡¯re ying games.¡± Yu Yan said ¡°okay.¡± He turned on the camera, adjusted the angle, and made sure that the person next to him wouldn¡¯t enter into the view of the camera. Then he started his livestream on time, at two o¡¯clock in the afternoon. [Today is also a day to love Yanyan!] [Fuck! WTF! Boss 1 is actually StarTV¡¯s boss!! Goddamnit, I¡¯ve been unknowingly nibbling on an office romance? What a thrill!!] [Being a fan of Xiao Yan¡¯s is so nice, never have to worry about him being bullied by other anchors any more.] [With the anchor and Yi Chen so familiar with each other, it¡¯s no wonder that he won an award during the anchorpetition. The boss could call up an internal programmer, and then aren¡¯t hundreds of thousands of gifts just a matter of a few lines of code?] [Even taking advantage of other people¡¯s power to bully people, and bullying other anchors. What kind of state hasoshu been bullied into, it¡¯s too terrible ba.] Even though the big boss had whispered into his ear telling him to be a bit more willful during his livestream just yesterday, but towards these kinds of antis who deliberately stirring up, Yu Yan just chose to suspend them and then directly kick them out of the barrage. Just when he was about to ban them, he heard the person beside him coldly ask, ¡°What, bosses have no personal rights? If you¡¯re a boss, you therefore can¡¯t spend money to support an anchor you like?¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± Yi Chen met his gaze. His eyes were filled with the words¡ª¡±I said I wouldn¡¯t bother you while ying games, but I didn¡¯t say I wouldn¡¯t do so while you were livestreaming.¡± [£¿£¿£¿] [WTF? What¡¯s going on? Am I blind??? Isn¡¯t this background Xiao Yan¡¯s home?] [¡­¡­ Bosses have personal rights. Bosses can support their favorite anchors, but that doesn¡¯t mean bosses can run over to the anchor¡¯s house oh!] [This backdoor connection, it¡¯s too exaggerated ba.] [What are you doing at my son¡¯s house??? You beast!!] ¡°If anyone can find any evidence that I have opened a backdoor for him, I will reward that person 100,000 yuan,¡± Yi Chen said seriously, ¡°What am I doing in his house¡­ Don¡¯t you guys always say that the little anchor runs cheat software and uses a perspective bot? I attach great importance to this matter, so I came to check it in person.¡± Not only the stream followers, but even Yu Yan was full of question marks now. He couldn¡¯t help but turn off the mic and say, ¡°¡­Don¡¯t talk nonsense.¡± [Turning off the mic?!] [OK, I have already created an AVI of two hours and forty minutes.] [How would you like to check ¡á him?] The stream moderator knew that she couldn¡¯t manage the current situation on her own, so she rushed over to the moderator group chat and hollered. Arge number of moderators then rushed into the stream and started to suspend people, atwitter all this while. It didn¡¯t take long for the barrage to settle down. Although certain things were still being typed and sent, there were obviously fewer antis present. asionally, a few of them mixed in, but they didn¡¯t stand out. Yu Yan opened the PUBG client. He naturally couldn¡¯t draw stream followers today. In the first match, he queued for a squad match. Yi Chen put down the document he was holding and looked at theputer screen with great interest. Although Yu Yan had also yed games in his home before, he had always been working in the study, and they had been separated by a wall. He had never seen him y games this close up before. Yu Yan¡¯s back was straight, he was wearing headphones, and the expression on his face was serious. Afternding in Pochinki, he quickly opened the door to look for a gun. Yi Chen wasn¡¯t wearing earphones. He just saw him open a red dot sight and kill people. Because he needed to fire the gun, Yu Yan¡¯s mouse kept going up and down, and then there was a slight change in the middle. He pulled out an AKM, and by the time he finished firing, Yi Chen felt that the mouse was about to drop. Yi Chen thought of the times the muzzle of his gun went flying towards the sky, and so leaned forward to watch attentively. Yu Yan cleaned up the team at the top of the building, opened the box, and started looting. Before Yi Chen could see what was in the box, he heard the mouse swipe a bit, and by then, Yu Yan had already finished looting and left. Yu Yan said, ¡°This box had an expansion mag, a SCAR-L, and a 4x scope. If you want it,e and get it.¡± Yi Chen: ¡°¡­.¡± He raised his eyebrows and drew a little closer. After cleaning up Pochinki, their team searched again for a while before they started running from the poison circle. While they were running, Yu Yan suddenly said, ¡°There are people in the N direction.¡± Yi Chen paused and looked in the direction he pointed to. He saw nothing. At this time, he again heard Yu Yan say, ¡°Two of them.¡± Yi Chen took a deep breath and looked closely again. The N direction was stillpletely empty. ? What people? Yu Yan didn¡¯t discover the confusion that had appeared on the face beside him. He found a stone to hide behind, then opened the scope to point at a small stone on a mountain far away. 10 secondster, a person¡¯s head appeared tentatively from behind the stone. Yi Chen: ¡°¡­¡± Bang¡ª¡ª Yu Yan fired a shot. [yanxyan knocked down XXXXS01 with an M24] Yu Yan said, ¡°There¡¯s still another one.¡± Just after he said that, he opened the scope and shot again. Bang¡ª¡ª A 10 kills notification jumped out onto the screen, and Yu Yan said, ¡°All dead.¡± Yi Chen: ¡°¡­¡± Were they looking at the same image? ying the same game? Among the two of them, one was ying seriously, and the other was watching seriously, so they both didn¡¯t realize that because Yi Chen kept moving forward, at this time, half of his face was exposed to the camera lens. [Fuck me?? This Yi Chen is ten thousand fucking times more handsome than his picture in Baidu Encyclopedia??] [It¡¯s too eye-catching to have these two people in the same frame ba¡­ Holy crap, what¡¯s the point in cutting those livestream ybacks together, my ass ah, directly go to cutting together the real people ah!! Pass the mouse to the BNF!] [Boss 1¡¯s expression is actually synchronized with mine¡­] [Lolololol Boss 1¡¯s ignorant face makes meugh.] [Boss¡¯s inner OS: WTF, he¡¯s done looting? Holy shit, where are the enemies?? Holy crap, how are they all dead???] ¡ª Juurensha: Ahhhh, nosy noodle shop auntie is nosy. Of course 27 year old Yi Chen figured out right away what she was going for, it¡¯s probably a very familiar conversation. (Also the two of them using the bathroom¡­.Yi Chen, if you were going to take 20 minutes, you might as well have let Yanyan help you out!) xiin: Boss Yi¡¯s confusion is actually really cute o.o Noks: That proprietress¡¯st ¡®Ah¡¯ felt so satisfying.

Also is holding a fanart/fanfic contest for her tranted novels so check out the details here! Chapter 89 - You want to add his WeChat? Chapter 89 - You want to add his WeChat? Edited by Noks Yi Chen was the first to notice that the content of the lines floating in the barrage assistant had to do with him. However, he didn¡¯t have any intention of stepping back at all. Instead, he raised one hand and put it on Yu Yan¡¯s gaming chair,ing close enough for their arms to touch each other. Originally, he hadn¡¯t quite understood why the staff had blurred out his face during the livestream of the tform¡¯s g? At that time, his mosaiced picture had be quite popr, and many stream followers had even spread it out all over Weibo. It was his assistant who had first discovered and reported the issue to him, and only then had he asked people to control his poprity in the eyes of the public. If he had really gotten onto some Weibo trending search while he still had a mosaic over him¡­. Yi Chen couldn¡¯t help but frown when thinking about this issue. Usually, the area covered by the poison circle was very small, and during a normal match, it could even count as being the semi-final circle. But this match still had dozens of survivors left. Yu Yan pretty much got into a fight every two steps. By the time he was wrapping up one fight, before he could even apply a first-aid kit to himself, he would hear more gunshots close by. At this time, lines that Yi Chen couldn¡¯t understand suddenly appeared in the barrage. [£¿£¿£¿] [Stream followers can ah. If you can even snipe something like that, kill all your teammates andmit suicide, then you can get on the bus.] [Confessing?? Don¡¯t ah, bro. Even if Xiao Yan really is bent, you¡¯ll get no results there! Didn¡¯t you see who was sitting next to him?!] Yu Yan¡¯s expression suddenly turned subtle. He only heard Yu Yan slightly cough, then hold down the voice key in the game and say, ¡°¡­.Hello, thank you for your like.¡± Yi Chen frowned and stared at his headphones for a few seconds, before suddenly getting up and leaving. Yu Yan looked at his figure reflexively and wanted to ask him if he was bored, but it was inconvenient to do so with the mic on. Finally, he resisted the urge and focused his attention back on the game. Who would have known that the other party woulde back only half a minuteter. Yi Chen was carrying earphones in his hand, and after connecting it to his cellphone, he resumed his original sitting position and swaggered into the livestream. The stream followers looked at the entrance prompt that appeared on top of the livestream screen, then looked at the seated visual of the same person at the corner of the screen. [¡­¡­ Boss 1, what are you doing with this??] [Lolololol, I forgot that boss couldn¡¯t hear anything this whole time. Logically speaking, what¡¯s the point of ying this game if you can¡¯t hear anything?] [Boss 1, listen to me, is this Xiao Yan stream follower sniper being proper?!] As soon as Yi Chen put on his earphones, he heard a strange voice talking. He looked at the lower left corner of theputer to make sure that this sound didn¡¯t belong to any of Yu Yan¡¯s teammates in the game. It should being from a nearby yer who had turned on the all-game voice chat mic. ¡°God Yan, do you need any essories? I have an 8x scope, a zoom, and a silencer here.¡± It was a boy¡¯s voice, and some tension seemed to present in the midst of his enthusiastic tone. Although Yi Chen didn¡¯t understand the game well, he also knew that these three things were the best essories avable in PUBG. And¡­God Yan? What kind of address was that? ¡°No need, you take it ba.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°¡­you¡¯re not going to go find your teammates?¡± ¡°My teammate is my roommate who is just teaming up with me.¡± The boy added, ¡°I just took a look, you don¡¯t have a silencer ba? I also have a level 3 helmet that I can give you! Don¡¯t worry, they definitely won¡¯t be able to beat you.¡± When Yi Chen heard these words, he raised his eyebrows slightly. Yu Yan had been sniped at by stream followers before. Almost all stream followers whom he met in the match would jump to the same ce as him, then turn on their mic to talk to him for a bit before going back to the action of trying to kill him. asionally, he would also encounter some yers who confessed to him, but most of them were just joking. In front of the many stream followers watching the livestream, they only dared to say that they liked his livestream very much, and all of these confessions came from girls. He had never encountered a male stream follower who assiduously worked hard all the way to the semi-finals, and then turned around to just give him all of the good things he possessed. Yu Yan actually thought the other side was joking. ¡°No need, you just y normally ba,¡± he said. Yi Chen listened as the boy went silent for a few seconds, before he spoke up again, ¡°The only reason I saved so many good things was for you.¡± ¡°I was even afraid that your teammates wouldn¡¯t have enough, so I brought some extras too.¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± After hearing this, Yi Chen just chuckled instead of saying anything. The microphone equipment urately carried the sound of thisugh to the stream followers¡¯ ears. Before the stream followers had the chance to understand the meaning behind thisugh, a gaudy and pompous bubble appeared in the public chat, a noble and rich privilege that was bestowed solely on the livestream guardians. [Yanyan¡¯s Daddy: What did this person say before?] Everyone in the stream immediately changed into the bad children who tattled to the teacher. [As soon as Xiao Yan ran into the circle, this boy suddenly started talking and said, ¡°God Yan, I¡¯ve liked you for a really long time¡± !] [It¡¯s not that I look at people with fujoshi eyes ba? Why do I feel like this guy is acting so gay?] [The one before didn¡¯t make it clear ah! The boy also said, ¡°If I don¡¯t see you every day, I feel bad,¡± and ¡°when I have money, I will definitely send gifts and be a guardian¡± !] [Not to say anything else, but Xiao Yan has never gone to the lower levels to just shoot fish in a barrel, and has always yed only with his main ount. This guy being able to get into the semi-finals of this kind of match, he should be very powerful! I hope the anchor will let him get on the bus.] Yu Yan noticed the barrage at this time because the color of the font of Yi Chen¡¯s question in the barrage assistant stood out differently from that of other people¡¯s messages, and thus was especially conspicuous. In a daze, he turned his head and took off his earphones. ¡°¡­Why did you enter the stream?¡± Yi Chen met his gaze and said, ¡°I can¡¯t hear the sounds in the game.¡± Yu Yan let out an ¡°ah¡± and said, ¡°I forgot.¡± He had external speakers as well, but the sounds emanating from the external speakers were totally different from what could be heard through the headphones, and he couldn¡¯t judge where the footsteps or gunshots wereing from from the sound of the external speakers at all, so he basically didn¡¯t use it. ¡°Then will it be troublesome for you to listen like that?¡± There was a dy urring in the live stream. Although it was only ag of a few seconds, the audio and visual still counted as being out of sync. ¡°No, you y.¡± Yi Chen paused and then suddenly said, ¡°¡­.Your fan is calling out to you.¡± Through the earphones, it could be heard that after not receiving a reply, the boy had started to urge him, ¡°God Yan, God Yan? I already tossed everything. If you don¡¯t feel reassured, I¡¯ll run a little further back, and then you can thene and pick it up?¡± Yu Yan focused back on the game. He opened the map and looked at it; the circle had gotten smaller again, and they weren¡¯t in the safety zone, so they would have to run from the poison circle. ¡°Really not necessary, you have fun ba. I¡¯ll let you go this time, and I¡¯ll see you in the final round ba.¡± His tone was exactly the same as the one he would use when carrying stream followers to eat chicken. ¡°God Yan, don¡¯t be like that ah.¡± The boy was getting frantic. He had originally wanted to spend 2000 yuan to send gifts to get on the bus before, but that would make him no different from any of the other bosses. Thinking about it, he knew that God Yan would take no notice of him at all if he went that route. He looked at the ck woman nearby who was wearing the system default clothing, then suddenly thought of something and called out, ¡°God Yan! Wait!¡± Yu Yan wasn¡¯t nning on wasting time and had already started to run away. He didn¡¯t respond anymore. The boy immediately followed after him and controlled the range his voice could reach as he said, ¡°God Yan, wait a minute, shall I give you the clothes on my back ba? I have thousands of these coats and hundreds of sses and scarves.¡± ck lines showed up on Yu Yan¡¯s face. Whatever gave this stream follower the misperception that he liked to change clothes? Clothes purchased in PUBG couldn¡¯t be called cheap, but they couldn¡¯t be called expensive either. Many of them could be used forever by the yers after spending several hundred yuan for that privilege. Yu Yan spent so much time on games all year round, and if he really wanted to buy some clothes, he wouldn¡¯t have been too reluctant to do so. Yu Yan said, ¡°No, I don¡¯t want to be the most colorful target in the final round.¡± Yi Chen also thought that the character¡¯s clothing was the game setting that you needed to pay the least attention to in the game. Especially since some of the avable clothes were too bright in color, and if youy down in the grass in those clothes, it would be basically equivalent to sending yourself to the enemy¡¯s muzzle. However, as he looked down at the barrage on his cellphone, he realized that other people didn¡¯t seem to think so. [God, isn¡¯t this boy too considerate?] [A man in the game who is willing to take off his apparel to give to a passer-by onlyes around once in a thousand years. I am moved liao, how about you guys?] [I¡¯m also puzzled¡­ Why doesn¡¯t Xiao Yan buy some apparel for himself? Other anchors either wear gorgeous colors all over their bodies, or they wear the flirtiest outfits. With Xiao Yan, it is the first time I¡¯ve ever seen anyone y the game in just the default outfit. He¡¯s been livestreaming for months ah! This outfit has pretty much not changed!!] [Wow, my son can¡¯t be wronged like that. I¡¯m going to go buy some apparel for my son!] Yu Yan looked at the barrage andughed. ¡°Everyone, please don¡¯t make a fuss and concentrate on watching me y in the final round.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s teammates had picked up some signs of the going-ons from the chat just now, and now they had taken him to be the leader of their team. Whichever direction Yu Yan pointed to, they went and fought in, and after cleaning up the two teams missing their arms and legs, all four yers managed to reach the final round. As soon as he entered the circle, he saw a man wearing colorful clothes not far away from him. It was that stream follower. At this time, the stream follower also spoke, ¡°Ah?! God Yan! You¡¯re here!¡± During this conversation, the game character of the other party remained motionless. In the game, if you looked left and right, the character would turn their head to follow your perspective. Moreover, Yu Yan had entered the circle from behind a stone, so the other party definitely couldn¡¯t see him from his point of view. ¡­¡­ this was frankly and obviously using the livestream to steal a peek ah. For all those who were gaming anchors, none of them liked people stealing peeks, and Yu Yan was the same. Especially in this match, where he and his teammates had just entered the final round when a peeping stream follower had suddenly appeared¡ªthis would make their game experience very poor. After all, the most taboo thing in the game was to expose one¡¯s position. By this time, the other teams had also discovered the existence of this stream follower, and two teams had started to fight below. Yu Yan didn¡¯t respond to him, just opening the settings and directly turning off the all-game voice chat. A teammate asked, ¡°No.1, it seems that your fan is fighting with someone else. So should we let¡¯s say ah¡­. Steal up on their behinds?¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°Steal up.¡± After all, it was four people who had made it to the final round, and he couldn¡¯t let the efforts put in so far by his other three teammates go to waste. A few minutester, Yu Yan cleared the two teams near them, which included the team the stream follower belonged to. He was looting things when he heard his teammate say, ¡°No.1, have you turned off the all-game mic? Your fan is¡­ revealing all of their true feelings for you.¡± ¡°Turned off.¡± Yu Yan finished looting, turned around, and ran off without even looking at the stream follower¡¯s lootbox. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Two teams are fighting behind the mountain, so let¡¯s go mediate between them.¡± As could be seen from the number of survivors left after the semi-final round, there were no immortals present in this match. After looting so many boxes, Yu Yan¡¯s team members had be fat beyond all reason, and they ate chicken in a clear and orderly fashion. At the end of the match, he was nning to open up a betting game for his stream followers when he found that that stream follower from just now was shouting at him in the livestream. [Wintery: God Yan I¡¯m sorry ah, QAQ. I didn¡¯t mean to sneak a peek at your screen, I just couldn¡¯t help but want to look at your perspective.] [Wintery: God Yan, can we add each other on WeChat?] The reason Yu Yan was able to single him out of the so many other lines in the barrage was because the other party had sent him thousands of yuan worth of gifts just now, and now possessed the noble text bubble that all Guardians had. Although it wasn¡¯t as grandiose as Yi Chen¡¯s, it was still quite showy. He had originally wanted to thank his stream follower for the gifts and then politely refuse his friend request as usual. Who knew that before he could speak, the person next to him would open his mouth first. Yi Chen asked, ¡°You want to add his WeChat?¡± [Wintery: Want! Want!!] Yi Chen said, ¡°It isn¡¯t like that isn¡¯t possible.¡± Yu Yan froze. [Wintery: Ah!? Thank you boss Gege!! Great kindness and great virtue will never be forgotten!!] Yi Chen paused and suddenly the conversation changed topics. ¡°Are you using yourputer or your cellphone?¡± [Wintery: Ah? Using theputer.] ¡°En, then look up.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s voice waszy as he asked, ¡°Do you see the star offering list in the upper right corner?¡± [Wintery: ¡­See it, what¡¯s the matter ?] Yi Chen let out a shortugh, and the sneer on his face was very obvious. He said, ¡°When you surpass me in these rankings, thene to him for his WeChat.¡± ¡ª The author has something to say: Damned rich people! ¡ª Juurensha: I feel a little bad for Wintery, but on the other hand, with Boss Yi so obviously THERE, he was kind of dumb to chase after Yanyan too. Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! And there¡¯s an audio drama for PUBG that came out!

Chapter 90 - Discuss it a bit Chapter 90 - Discuss it a bit Edited by Noks If the naked eye could see people¡¯s inner thoughts, then there would definitely be thousands ofrge bold ck question marks floating atop Yu Yan¡¯s head. [Then may I ask, how do I get the right to visit Xiao Yan¡¯s house as a guest?] [Isn¡¯t the person above just spouting bullshit? When you¡¯ve taken over Boss 1¡¯spany, then you can.] [Understood.] ¡°¡­¡­ He¡¯s just joking with everyone.¡± Yu Yan was very frank in his reply, ¡°Even if you send gifts until you reach first ce, you won¡¯t be able to add my WeChat.¡± The barrage immediately began to boil again, so he quickly added, ¡°But I can add you as a friend on the livestream tform.¡± StarTV had its own embedded chat software¡ªfirstly to make it convenient for anchors and administrators tomunicate, and secondly to make it convenient for stream followers to get on the bus. Previously, Yu Yan hadn¡¯t known that this app could add stream followers as friends, so he had added several stream followers on WeChat at first. Later, after learning about this method from Tuantuan and the others, he had never added anyone else on his WeChat again. It wasn¡¯t really because of anything specific, just that some stream followers would take the contact information of anchors and sell it. That was kind of okay if it was a male anchor¡¯s information, but since a female anchor could receive many friend requests every day, the streaming site came up with this method as a safety measure. The stream follower called Wintery had already disappeared, most probably because he had been defeated. However, the number of lines in the barrage was still increasing, and this was for no other reason than that¡ªin just the short amount of time the match hadsted for, Yu Yan¡¯s livestream¡¯s poprity had seen quite a frenzied rise, and had overtaken the poprity of Good Show¡¯s livestream. What kind of achievement was surpassing Good Show? You needed to know that even female anchors with high poprity ratings such as Tuantuan and Lulu, who had already been streaming for quite a few years, hadn¡¯t even been able to touch the butt-end of Good Show¡¯s poprity level. In terms of poprity numbers, there was usually a wide gap present between their numbers and Good Show¡¯s. Some opinionated Good Show fans had entered the livestream with the idea of ¡°I want to see which anchor is making trouble again¡±. After gaining a clear understanding of the situation disyed on the screen, they left bearing the idea¡ª ¡°forget it, this person can¡¯t be provoked¡±. Yu Yan was just nning on starting a second match when he received a message from Good Show. Good Show: Xiao Yan is awesome ah, but is it really fine for Boss Yi to be like this? I remember when they were livestreaming the g before, the program team very carefully blurred out his face for the entire night. Only then did Yu Yan shockingly realize that half of the face of the person next to him had also appeared on camera! And he had just beenining that he couldn¡¯t understand what the barrage was trying to say no matter how many times he read it! He quickly turned off the camera and the microphone. Yi Chen looked sideways at him. ¡°Why did you turn it off?¡± ¡°¡­¡­ Half of your face was on camera,¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°What to do, will it affect you? How about I restart the livestream and delete the live rey video of the livestream from just now?¡± Yi Chen stared at him for a moment. ¡°I¡¯m not fit to be seen?¡± Yu Yan stared at him. ¡°Of course that¡¯s not it.¡± ¡°Then why bother deleting anything?¡± Yi Chen looked at the barrage that was still frantically sending out question marks and said, ¡°I¡¯m obviously here, but you still want to hide me away and not let them know about my presence. Do you know what this seems like?¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Like what?¡± ¡°ndestine love affair.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Seeing the shocked expression on the other party¡¯s face, Yi Chen chuckled and added, ¡°Adultery.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± A few minutester, the stream resumed as usual, and two people could still be seen in the video. One was smiling, while the other was pursing his lips. Thetter also kept blinking crazily, as if he was trying to hide something. [¡­¡­ with this amount of blinking, is Xiao Yan asking for help? What happened between you two just now, tell us quickly, we will definitely support you! (Determine the exact expression, thank you)] [Disregarding the camera and mic being off, the mouse pointer also stayed in ce for a long time, and no ¡®gone offline¡¯ warning notice by the management popped up!] Yu Yan quickly found a topic to interrupt the barrage with. He unlocked his cellphone, opened the takeout app, and handed it to Yi Chen. ¡°Would you like some coffee?¡± Most of the coffee avable for takeout was instant. Even if the coffee beans were freshly ground, they wouldn¡¯t be very good. Yi Chen had therefore never ordered any such drinks through takeout. He looked at Yu Yan¡¯s ck cellphone and naturally answered, ¡°Yes.¡± With the two of them picking out what to order, no one noticed that a name on the star offering list had suddenly brightened, and its status had changed to ¡®online¡¯. At the other end, Mo Nancheng held the cellphone, and the expression on his face looked especially splendid. ¡°This is your Ge, right?¡± He asked the person next to him in an incredulous tone. ¡°Yeah. It¡¯s definitely my Ge,¡± Yi Ran said, ¡°Cheng Ge, have you finished looking at it yet ah, you can return my cellphone to me ba. If you really want to watch, you can create your own ount.¡± During this period, Mo Nancheng had been very troubled. By the time he calmed down, he couldn¡¯t believe that he had blown up at Yi Chen because of a little incident. ¡°Forget it, I won¡¯t watch anymore.¡± Mo Nancheng returned Yi Ran¡¯s cellphone. ¡°Did you convince him? Will hee over this weekend?¡± ¡°Noting.¡± Yi Ran couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Cheng Ge, what exactly happened between you and my Ge?¡± ¡°Nothing,¡± Mo Nancheng replied. ¡°Little children shouldn¡¯t ask so many questions.¡± Yi Ran scoffed. He took back his cellphone and watched the livestream himself while gossiping, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that just because of a few Weibo posts, my Ge would specifically run over to Manyang. It seems that my Ge is serious about Xiao Yan ah.¡± ¡°Have you ever seen him not being serious with any other people?¡± Mo Nancheng asked. Yi Ran replied, ¡°¡­.that¡¯s true, there hasn¡¯t been any until now. Ugh, the more I watch, the more surprised I be. I thought my Ge would never start dating nor get married his whole life.¡± And now, his cousin, whom he always internally pictured with a face stamped with the thought of never marrying, was sitting beside a boy, and his face had on a doting expression as he watched the other party order take out. It was too fantastical. Mo Nancheng looked at the livestream again. ¡°It¡¯s very surprising.¡± He had known Yi Chen for so many years, and this was the first time he had seen the other party look so lively, which presented quite a contrast from the ice cold person from before. ¡ª¡ª At dinner time, Yu Yan paused the livestream and opened the takeout app again. It was rare for him to splurge on dinner. Usually, if it was just him, the takeout price he spent was basically just the same amount as the delivery fee. Yi Chen looked at the takeout menu and asked, ¡°Why not order from the restaurant you usually eat at?¡± Yu Yan was stunned. ¡°How do you know this isn¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°You said once before, during your livestream, that that ce¡¯s serving size contains big portions and that¡¯s its food is delicious, and it costs only 20 yuan.¡± Yi Chen continued, ¡°This takeout ce, the set meal is priced at 48 yuan.¡± ¡°That ce basically sells canteen food. You may not be used to it,¡± Yu Yan said. Although it cost 48 yuan for a set meal from this ce, based on the amount of food in the boxes, its value wasn¡¯t much different from the 20 yuan meal. Yu Yan¡¯s dining table was azy person¡¯s table, the kind with four foldable legs. When it wasn¡¯t in use, it could be folded up and put aside at any time. It didn¡¯t upy much space at all. At this time, this table was crowded with takeout boxes. Yi Chen was wearing a white-cor shirt and ck pants, and as he sat in thezyboy, holding a takeout box, his posture looked extremely rxed. If this scene was seen by anybody who knew him, they might end up being so surprised that their mouths would drop open. As Yu Yan continued streaming into the night, the traffic on his livestream reached its peak, since most people had now returned home from work. More and more people poured into the livestream, and the number of lines appearing in the barrage also increased at a visible speed. There were so many lines in the barrage that it took several seconds to refresh a whole page, and no matter how many stream moderators were there, they couldn¡¯tpletely suspend all the antis. It was almost time to end the stream. After thest match, Yu Yan closed the game, and wanted to spend a few minutes chatting with his stream followers. He often did this if he was not in any hurry. He always felt that rushing to end the stream wasn¡¯t polite. As soon as he turned off the game, he saw two sentences on the screen¡ª¡ª [So what exactly is the situation with the breach of contract? You¡¯re still not saying anything about it yet? You can¡¯t be trying to make yourself look pitiful, disguising a big matter as a small one until it disappears ba?] [Everyone, let¡¯s disassemble ba. StarTV¡¯s big boss has appeared, and even if he really was in breach of contract, he¡¯ll take money out to settle the matter. Didn¡¯t you see that the administrator who used to pounce over a lot has suddenly stopped talking? But since the boss is here today, I have to say something ah. This kind of employee, who doesn¡¯t have any loyalty to a contract, if they have this kind of matter once, they¡¯ll have it again. Be careful, you¡¯re holding him up for now, but he may get buoyed by poprity and quit and go elsewhere ] At this time, Yi Chen was on the phone and was outside on the balcony. Yu Yan said, ¡°I already said that I¡¯m not in breach of any contract. I¡¯m also not disguising a big matter as a small one. Once thewsuit is over, I will release the verdict publicly.¡± This answer counted as a direct response, and his fans seemed to have suddenly been energized, for gifts immediately filled the screen. After turning off theputer, Yu Yan was about to get up when the cellphone on his desk suddenly rang. It was from an unfamiliar number, with a Manyang area code. He picked up the call. ¡°Hello?¡± The man at the other end asked cautiously, ¡°Is this Xiao Yan?¡± This voice ¡ªYu Yan was afraid he would never forget for the rest of his life. Hearing Yu Yan¡¯s silence, Feng Xiong, who was at the other end, hurriedly said, ¡°Xiao Yan, I¡¯m here to apologize to you.¡± Yu Yan picked up his cup of water lying on the table and drank a mouthful without saying a word. He nned to wait and see what the other side wanted to do. ¡°Aiya! Xiao Yan, this matter with Weibo was totally unexpected, I only came to know about it two days ago. During this period of time, thepany was being moved, so it was the right time to sort out all the contracts. That manager looked at your original contract and actually thought you were liable for a breach of contract. He didn¡¯t say anything to me before running off to make that Weibo post, really too detestable.¡± After thinking for several days, Feng Xiong had onlye up with this way. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will never sue you. I¡¯m the one who knows the most about your difficulties!¡± Yu Yan really thought that this whole thing wasughable. He asked, ¡°Who was the manager?¡± ¡°The manager ah¡­ he took over the position after you left. Even if I said who he was, you definitely wouldn¡¯t recognize him. I have already dismissed him.¡± Feng Xiong said, ¡°Xiao Yan, you¡¯re still in Manyang ba? Why don¡¯t we go out for a meal together, and I¡¯ll apologize to you face to face.¡± Yu Yan was silent for a long time, before he suddenly asked, ¡°Has StarTV already contacted you?¡± There was no other reason he could imagine for why Feng Xiong had apologized this suddenly. Zhou Mi hadn¡¯t served him with any legal papers yet, and Yu Minyang¡¯s side also hadn¡¯t sorted out through all the evidence yet. At such a time, Feng Xiong¡¯s apology seemedpletely inexplicable. Hearing this, Feng Xiong¡¯s face nearlypletely crumpled in on itself. Ever since Yi Chen had called him that day, he had felt as if a knife was hanging over his head, and he didn¡¯t know when it would fall down. This kind of feeling was really too much of a torment, and because he had been so anxious these past two days, he had directly lost a whole lot of weight, and his entire face had grown more haggard. The moment he saw that Yi Chen was with Yu Yan in the livestream, he couldn¡¯t continue to keep sitting, and immediately went to dig out the phone number he had just gotten his hands on today. ¡°Y-yes, they contacted me, and it was also only after President Yi contacted me that I knew about this matter. Xiao Yan, I pretty much count as the one who scouted out your talent¡­¡± Yu Yan interrupted him, ¡°¡­it was Yi Chen who contacted you?¡± ¡ªThis was what Yi Chen heard as he entered the room. He raised his eyebrows and walked over, giving Yu Yan a questioning look. Yu Yan didn¡¯t say a word, and instead just reached out and grasped his fingertip, which counted as his response. The person on the phone didn¡¯t know what to say. Yu Yan¡¯s face disyed impatience, and he said, ¡°I¡¯ve said before, this matter has nothing to do with StarTV¡­. You want to meet with Yi Chen? Not possible. You can meet with me. You have to bring yourwyer with you, and we¡¯ll make an appointment at a coffee shop.¡± Feng Xiong was confused. ¡°Bring awyer¡­for what?¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you suing me?¡± Feng Xiong hurriedly replied, ¡°Not suing, not suing¡­¡± ¡°Then you still need to go find awyer.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s tone was very harsh as he said, ¡°This time, these actions taken on the Inte by yourpany have greatly impacted my reputation. It¡¯s impossible for me to just let it go. I¡¯ll send you mywyer¡¯s contact informationter, and if you have anything else to do, don¡¯t call me, just contact him directly. Whenever I need to be there in-person to sign something, I¡¯ll go.¡± After having said that, he ignored the subsequent pleas from the other party and hung up. Yi Chen squeezed his hand back and asked, ¡°Feng Xiong?¡± ¡°En.¡± Yu Yan had many words he wanted to say, but at the end of the day, there was only one thing he could say. ¡°I didn¡¯t deal with it well before, so have troubled you.¡± ¡°Your business is no trouble.¡± Yi Chen rubbed his head and didn¡¯t really want to mention Feng Xiong at this time. He thought of the embarrassed tone his assistant had while on the phone just now. He kept silent for a moment before saying, ¡°I¡¯m going back to Jincheng soon.¡± Yu Yan froze,and he unconsciously gripped the other person¡¯s hand tighter. ¡°So fast¡­ makes sense. It¡¯s the end of the year, and thepany should be very busy.¡± Yu Yan said this to himself and after a while, asked, ¡°¡­.When ah?¡± Yi Chen had originally nned to leave the next day. However, looking into Yu Yan¡¯s eyes, he suddenly couldn¡¯t bring himself to do so. He hadn¡¯t been here for long, but in this small house, he already has his own slippers, his own toothbrush, and his side of the bed. He settled his mind and said, ¡°The day after tomorrow.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll take you to the airport.¡± Yu Yan was a bit embarrassed as he continued, ¡°But I don¡¯t have a car, so we will have to take a taxi.¡± ¡°We can talk about it when ites to that time,¡± said Yi Chen. Yu Yan nodded, and suddenlyughed after thinking of something. ¡°Last time I went to Jincheng, I didn¡¯t visit any scenic spots. This time you came to Manyang, and we still haven¡¯t gone to any scenic spots. We¡¯re really strange¡­ But you¡¯ve been to Manyang before, so you should be tired of it. This city is quite small, and if you tighten up the schedule a bit, all the scenic spots can be toured in a day¡­¡± Only by talking constantly could Yu Yan restrain his desire of wanting this person to stay here. As he was rambling, the man in front of him suddenly bent down and stopped these words with his mouth. His heart leaped, and he couldn¡¯t resist caressing Yi Chen¡¯s lips. He raised his hands, wrapped them around Yi Chen¡¯s neck and was then kissed with such ferocity that his whole back fell onto the gaming chair. It was only after the gaming chair couldn¡¯t stand the force being exerted by these two people and so shifted back a little that their kiss was finally interrupted. Both of Yi Chen¡¯s hands were ced on the armrest as he held the chair firmly, and his eyes were brilliantly bright as he looked at Yu Yan. ¡°I just visited the beachst time, but I haven¡¯t been to any other ces yet.¡± Yu Yan froze. ¡°Then how about tomorrow¡­¡± ¡°One day isn¡¯t enough.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°So we should discuss it a bit.¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Discuss what?¡± ¡°The next time we will meet,¡± said Yi Chen. ¡ª Juurensha: Yu Yan was so forceful when dealing with Feng Xiong, good for him! And Yanyan and Yi Chen are so cute, constantly trying to get their schedules in synch¡­.move in with him, Yanyan! Noks: I can¡¯t wait for Feng Xiong to get his just desserts!

Chapter 91 - Wiped a bit Chapter 91 - Wiped a bit Edited by Noks The two of them bathed separately before getting into the bed together again. Their arms were close to each other, and there was a calendar open in front of them. Ever since this calendar had been ced on the table by Yu Yan, it had never been flipped through. Today, it had finally seen the light of day. Yi Chen moved his pen first and crossed out arge bunch of uing days. ¡°I have meetings on all these days, and will also have to go on business trips.¡± Yu Yan followed next and also crossed out a few days. ¡°I made an appointment with thatwyer for these days¡­¡± After only a few strokes from two pens, what was left unmarked were just a few days in this month. These unstruck dates were all intermittent and couldn¡¯t be connected. So they could only meet next month. The two of them were silent for a moment. ¡°In fact, I can talk to that side and change the meeting time.¡± Yu Yan took up his pen, adjusted one of the days again, and said with a smile, ¡°This way we can have three days.¡± Because he was still weighing matters internally, Yi Chen didn¡¯t speak. He wanted toe over even on those few intermittent free days. Even if it would result in him flying to Manyang and then leaving on the same day, he felt that was fine, since it was only a few hours¡¯ flight. But if he did so, Yu Yan would definitelye to pick him up. It took nearly an hour to get to the airport from his house, so Yu Yan¡¯s day would be consumed by the journey and livestreaming, leaving him with no time to spare for them. Just as he was thinking that, he met Yu Yan¡¯s smiling eyes abruptly. All the youthful vigor he hadn¡¯t felt when he was in school was now being given to him by this person. He shifted his gaze back to the calendar and circled those three days with his pen. ¡°Alright, when the timees, you don¡¯t need toe to the airport. I¡¯ll find my way.¡± As expected, Yu Yan didn¡¯t want to take a shortcut. ¡°I¡¯ll go to pick you up.¡± And thus, it was settled. Yu Yan got up to put the calendar back on top of the table. The moment he got up though, a short cellphone prompt suddenly sounded out from between the pillows. Their cellphones were exactly the same, so Yi Chen instinctively looked over, and the screen just disyed the default wallpaper of a certain fruit. He thought it was his cellphone, so he picked it up. [Push notification] Station D: The user you have specially followed, ¡°DILI Mi¡± has uploaded a new video: ¡°Ying Da new animation!! BL foreign love story! Ying Da¡¯s first time taking on a challenging ck bellied role! Uncut version!¡± Yi Chen squinted at it. Ying Da, new animation, challenging ck bellied role? What was all this? And he hadn¡¯t subscribed to anyone called ¡°DILI Mi¡±. He suddenly thought of something, reached out, and another cell phone¡¯s screen soon lit up from between the pillows. Sure enough, it also had the default fruit wallpaper. When Yu Yan got into bed again, his cellphone was handed over to him. ¡°There was a push notification,¡± said Yi Chen. Yu Yan let out an ¡°oh,¡± casually took it into his hands before ncing at it, and then immediately froze. As time passed, the screen darkened, so he immediately clicked the home button, and kept staring at his cellphone in disbelief. After reading the push notification back and forth three times, he took a breath¡ª Yi Chen noticed his change in expression and raised his eyebrows. ¡°What¡­¡± However, before he could finish speaking, he saw the person stand up and quickly open the drawer to pick out his headphones. Yu Yan plugged his headphones into the phone and turned around and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to the bathroom!¡± After tossing out this sentence, he hurried into the bathroom and quickly closed the door. Yi Chen: ¡°?¡± He had obviously juste out of the bathroom, why did he go in there again? And with headphones? As soon as Yu Yan entered the bathroom, he rushed to click open Station D and click into the contents of the push notification from just now. Who was Ying Da? Ying Da had been Yu Yan¡¯s favorite Japanese CV these past few years, the one who had switched to doing big uncle rolester on. Of course, ever since then, Ying Da had been trying various different roles, which included those grandpas, old demons, and even children oriented roles. He had just never managed tond into a young man role again. He hadn¡¯t expected that Ying Da would have actually managed to pick up the young uncle role this time!! And the genre was even BL?! This was simply the role of a lifetime ah!! Sure enough, just minutes after the video was uploaded, the number ofments it received had already broken 100. Station D was different from Weibo and other forums; people who watched their videos didn¡¯t like toment on them very much, so it was very telling of a video¡¯s poprity if it had managed to get past 100ments in only a few minutes. Yu Yan didn¡¯t even think before bookmarking it, giving coins, and thenmenting. He did the series of things that fans should do, and only then did he click on the video. ¡­. Yi Chen leaned against the head of the bed, picked up his cellphone, and nced at it. Two minutes had already passed, and there had been no movement from the bathroom. He opened Station D on his phone, clicked on its search bar, searched for the several keywords he had just seen from memory, and a list of videos quickly jumped out on his screen. ¡°[Ying Da] is going to snipe your heart today!¡± ¡°Top 10 ssic clips featuring [Ying Da].¡± He ignored all this, sorted the list bytest release, and sessfully found the video he was looking for. He turned the volume down and clicked on the video. At first, the video image was dark, and then a deep maic male voice sounded out, speaking Japanese. Yi Chen could understand thenguage and didn¡¯t need to read subtitles, so he started to look through thement section while listening. ¡°AHHHHH, look at what I¡¯ve found!! Ying Da NB! ¡± ¡°Ying Da, good attack, I¡¯m dead.¡± He scrolled down twice and soon stopped. He saw a familiar ID. ¡°Yan01111: Ying Da sugoi. Thanks Owner PO for sharing. I¡¯m looking forward to the next episode with coins in my hands.¡± ¡ªPublished just a minute ago. There were tens of millions ofizens named Yan in the world. The reason he could recognize this one was because when Yu Yan had previously gotten drunk, he had seen this ID on Yu Yan¡¯s cellphone. At this time, images began appearing in the video. He shelved his thoughts and nced up. First, two anime heroes collided in a corner, and the items in the main character¡¯s hands got damaged. A low and gentle male voice sounded out, saying that he was willing topensate him and wanted to treat the protagonist to a meal as an apology. It could be seen from the barrage that the voice just now belonged to ¡°Ying Da¡±. The camera cut, and the two people went to a restaurant. The camera cut again, and the two people were in a bed in a hotel room. These clips cut quite fast and urately, and had a quick pacing. As soon as the protagonist woke up, he discovered this man doing this and that to him, and he wanted to make a sound to bring him to ount, but found that he had been drugged. ¡°Ying Da¡±ughed softly and told the protagonist, ¡°Don¡¯t resist. It¡¯s useless, just enjoy it ba.¡± The pictures and sounds immediately became indescribable. Yi Chen: ¡°¡­¡± ¡ª¡ª Yu Yan held his cellphone and watched the whole clip. He didn¡¯t read the subtitles. He only knew a little Japanese and could only understand some simple words. However, that didn¡¯t affect his excitement. After all, he just wanted to relive Ying Da¡¯s voice again. He didn¡¯t actually have much interest in the foreign love story. After listening, he happily closed the app and then opened the door. At the same time, Yi Chen locked his cellphone and threw it aside. Yu Yan had justy down in bed when the man next to him suddenly leaned over and pinched his ears. Yu Yan was stunned. ¡°Huh?¡± Yi Chen remained silent for a long time before he said, ¡°If you want to watch that kind of film, I¡¯ll find some for you. Don¡¯t watch these ones, they have all been embellished. They¡¯re not real, and you can¡¯t learn from them.¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t understand. ¡°What film?¡± Yi Chen replied, ¡°The one you just watched.¡± Yu Yan blinked. ¡°Did you see the push notification?¡± ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen took on the tone of a senior and said, ¡°Also¡­ You just did it yesterday. Don¡¯t do it too often, it¡¯s not good for your health.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s face was dazed. ¡°¡­What?¡± Yi Chen looked at him meaningfully but did not speak. Little children¡¯s faces were thin, just lightly touching on the subject should be enough. At this moment, Yu Yan¡¯s cellphone suddenly rang again. Both of them lowered their heads at the same time¡ª¡ª [Push notification] The user you have specially followed, ¡°DILI Mi¡± has uploaded a new video: ¡°Ying Da update on the new animation! BL foreign love story chapter 2!¡± Yu Yan¡¯s eyes brightened, and he was about to move to pick up his cellphone, but found that the back of his hand was suddenly being held down. Yi Chen frowned. ¡°You still want to watch? Are you ever going to sleep?¡± Since he had been found out, Yu Yan didn¡¯t avoid the subject any more. He said, ¡°It¡¯s very short, just a few minutes. I¡¯ll go to sleep after watching it.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Yi Chen controlled his rising temper to remain gentle. ¡°Watch it next time.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Anyway, I¡¯m not sleepy right now¡­¡± As soon as he finished speaking this sentence, the strength with which the hand that was holding him down grew heavier. Yi Chen turned over and pressed the person under him. He looked unhappy. ¡°I said it¡¯s not good for the body, but you¡¯re not listening?¡± Yu Yan was shocked and looked at him innocently. ¡°¡­no ah, why would it be bad for my body?¡± Yi Chen paused and suddenly asked, ¡°You used to do this all the time?¡± Yu Yan let out an ¡°ah¡± and asked, ¡°What?¡± Yi Chen narrowed his eyes. ¡°You would watch these videos for several days in a row?¡± Yu Yan was very honest. ¡°For a while, I watched it every day.¡± The two of them were so close that Yu Yan found it difficult to breathe, and his cheeks were hot. His hand slowly moved to his cellphone, and he said, ¡°Are you sleepy? Then forget it, I¡¯ll watch it tomorrow.¡± His tone was full of regret. Yi Chen¡¯s brow tightened even more. Putting aside whether it was healthy or not¡ª He was right here, and Yu Yan would still rather go to the bathroom and handle such matters while watching an animation? And he still wanted to go again? After a long time, he asked, ¡°Do you really want to watch it?¡± Yu Yan moved uneasily. ¡°Right now, I don¡¯t particrly want to anymore¡­ Shall we sleep ba?¡± Instead of answering, Yi Chen suddenly pulled himself up onto his knees. Yu Yan thought he was going to get up and started to move his legs to let Yi Chen across the bed. Who knew that before his legs could even move, they were pushed open by Yi Chen¡¯s hands. Yu Yan: ¡°?¡± He was still in a daze when he felt a chill on his waist. His pajamas were pulled down easily. ¡°??¡± He was thoroughly confused, and was so startled that he started stuttering after propping himself up, ¡°W-what¡¯s the matter?¡± Yi Chen pushed him back onto the bed with one hand and lowered his other hand down. He was half-kneeling and looked down at him from a height. His expression wasn¡¯t friendly. ¡°If you want to do it, I will help you. What do you want to do with that shabby film?¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡­¡­???¡± Once things got started, it becamepletely impossible to stop. Yu Yan felt that maybe he felt way too good during this, which was why he couldn¡¯t understand what Yi Chen was talking about. As soon as the other party¡¯s hand came up on him, he sank into a state where he couldn¡¯t distinguish between anything. It was tens of thousands of times more exciting than doing it by himself. At first, Yi Chen had just wanted him to forget the perverted animation, but when he looked up to see Yu Yan¡¯spletely flushed, confused and blurred face in the midst of his hand¡¯s movements¡ª A single person event became a double person event. ¡­ After they finished, Yu Yan, who now possessed apletely red face, hurriedly sat up agitatedly. He looked at the mess in Yi Chen¡¯s hand and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I-I didn¡¯t hold back¡­ I¡¯ll get some wipes!¡± He reached his hand out, swiped up the tissues on the table, and wiped himself first. Then, with a thoroughly red face, in a very thoughtful manner, he also wiped Yi Chen. As soon as the tissue was thrown away, Yi Chen held his wrist. ¡°Does it feel better than when you watched the animation?¡± ¡°¡­¡­ It does feel good.¡± Yu Yan asked with red ears, ¡°But what does it have to do with the animation ah?¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Don¡¯t you usually like doing it while watching that animation?¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Yu Yan was dumbstruck for a long time, and then finally came back to his senses¡ª¡ª Listening to Yi Chen¡¯s tone, it seemed that he had already seen the clips. The new animation of Ying Da¡¯s was BL. There was also bedy in it. Just now, this part of the video seemed to have spent most of the time showing the ¡°en en ah ah¡± parts?? His eyes flew wide. ¡°You didn¡¯t think that¡­¡± ¡°I,¡± He stuttered through, ¡°I¡ªwatched¡ªthat¡ªthat¡ªto do what¡­we just did ba?¡± He understood everything with a nce at Yi Chen¡¯s expression. It was actually true. He was shocked and said incoherently, ¡°No, how could I¡­ I wasn¡¯t watching it for the animation.¡± ¡°I just really like that male voice actor very much¡ªI chase after all of his works, I just want to hear his voice¡­¡± Yu Yan¡¯s internal shame had straightforwardly nearly peaked as he said, ¡°Not to do that¡­¡± ¡ª Juurensha: You know, for all the vague descriptions of what¡¯s happening (handjob in case it wasn¡¯t clear), it was actually kind of hot? Although the misunderstanding was greeeeeat, Yi Chen actually offering to go find Yanyan ¡°films¡± to watch if he really wants that. (Realistic films, not ck-bellied protagonists apparently). It was a bit forceful, but Yanyan did enjoy himself (and was consenting I think), so I guess it¡¯s alright? Although in real life guys, do talk things through.

Chapter 92 - Support my family Chapter 92 - Support my family Edited by Noks The surroundings went eerily silent for a moment. So because he liked his voice, he followed it and listened to it every night? Yi Chen slightly squinted at him. Yu Yan braced himself and exined, ¡°He went on to y other roles before, just¡­ elderly roles. He voiced those sorts of roles for many years, and I thought he would retire in a few years. Then today, I suddenly found out that he came back to y a young uncle role¡­I was too excited, and that¡¯s the only reason I ran to the bathroom.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s expression didn¡¯t improve. ¡°Young uncle?¡± Yu Yan exined, ¡°It¡¯s a role where someone between the ages of 17 and 25 is voiced.¡± Yi Chen, who was about to gloriously step into the age of 28, sank into silence. Young people¡¯s hobbies weren¡¯t easy to understand, but he could kind ofprehend what was going on. After a while, he asked, ¡°What other voice actors do you like?¡± ¡°No others!¡± Yu Yan hurriedly made this clear and blurted out, ¡°I just like him.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Yi Chen asked again, ¡°Listening to him every night, you don¡¯t get tired of it?¡± ¡°No. He¡¯s worked in a lot of anime series, and if you edit his parts from all of them together, then you could listen to his voice for a few months without encountering any repetition.¡± Yi Chen pursed his lips. After neatening up the bed, Yu Yany back into it. When he didn¡¯t hear any kind of reply for a long time, and recalled what he had said after a moment, only then did he realize that the words he had just used weren¡¯t quite appropriate. He turned over and raised his hand to hold Yi Chen¡¯s chin as he exined, ¡°It¡¯s not like that. I just like his voice¡­ I¡¯m a bit of a voice con.¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows. ¡°What is a voice con?¡± ¡°That is, people who like nice voices.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°It¡¯s like the way fans like celebrities, waiting for his works and supporting his broadcasts, that kind of thing.¡± Yi Chen allowed him to hold his face, and did not move or speak. His worries had onlysted for a moment. He hadn¡¯t said anything yet because he had suddenly remembered something. Thest time he hade to Manyang, Yu Yan had also opened one of their audioptions, had ced it by his ear, and had listened to it before sleeping. After a while, he raised his eyes and asked, ¡°Then what about me?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Have you contributed to the viewer count on my yback videos?¡± Yu Yan froze. ¡°¡­What?¡± There was no change in Yi Chen¡¯s tone as he narrated, ¡°The Must Tell Love Story between the Little Anchor and the Big Boss¡­¡± Before Yi Chen could finish his sentence, Yu Yan, who had been startled and had opened his eyes wide, asked, ¡°How do you know¡ª¡± ¡°Fans shared it with me through private messages, they should also have shared it with you.¡± Afraid that he would feel ashamed, Yi Chen made an excuse. ¡°Did you listen to it?¡± Yu Yan¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple moved slightly as he replied, ¡°Listened.¡± As if he had just listened to it! Usually, he would listen to it several times before going to bed every night. Those audioptions hadsted much longer and more persistently than the shelf life of those Ying Daptions. Yi Chen asked, ¡°How much did you contribute to the viewer count for the yback?¡± Yu Yan took his hand off Yi Chen¡¯s face, and even though he was very embarrassed inside, he very honestly answered, ¡°From the day the first chapter came out to now, excluding the two nights you have been here for, multiply those days by threefold, fourfold, fivefold, sixfold¡­.ba.¡± Yi Chen suddenly saw the light. So the whole thing about how Yu Yan listened to his voice to sleep, was that all just because he was a ¡°voice con¡±? If he thought about it carefully, back then, when the other party had thrown him his gun and shown him goodwill¡­ it seemed that it had been right after he had turned on his mic. Thinking of this, he inexplicably felt an impending crisis. He raised his hand, pulled Yu Yan into his arms, and asked, ¡°How many people¡¯s voices have you liked in total?¡± Yu Yan froze. ¡°If not including yours, four.¡± Yi Chen asked, ¡°Did I win in the end? Is that why you like me?¡± Yu Yan blurted out, ¡°No! Me liking you has nothing to do with your voice¡­¡± Having said that, Yu Yan deted a bit. He thought about it and then gave up. ¡°Okay ba. Even if it had something to do with it at first, it was the kind of like you have for celebrities, butter on¡­¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to exin,¡± Yi Chen interrupted. ¡°Really&#k2014;¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t overthink anything.¡± Yi Chen lifted his hand, pinched a strand of Yu Yan¡¯s hair, and started to y with it. ¡°But, we have toe to an agreement.¡± Yu Yan looked up at him. ¡°What?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t like other people in the future.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°No other voices either.¡± Yu Yan really wanted to give him a positive answer but¡­ It wasn¡¯t like he could control it. At most, he could only control his own hands and not contribute to the viewer count of those clips. He said, ¡°I will try my best, okay?¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°No way.¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± After a while, Yi Chen sighed. He suddenly came close and bit the tip of Yu Yan¡¯s ear, doing it neither heavily nor lightly, and then said, ¡°I can speak Japanese.¡± Yu Yan felt that all of the blood in his body was hurtling towards his ears. He opened his mouth and could only make one sound¡ª¡±Ah.¡± ¡°Whatever section you like to listen to the best from that Japanese voice actor, I can learn too.¡± Yi Chen rubbed his lips around his ears, and his voice was low and deep. ¡°If you want to hear itter, just ask me. Don¡¯t listen to others.¡± This voice sessfully turned Yu Yan¡¯s face red. He thought of Yi Chen¡¯s words, and his heart filled with wonder. If it went on like this, he was afraid he wouldn¡¯t get any sleep tonight. After a moment, Yu Yan carelessly nodded his head, rescued his ears by pulling back a bit, and then reached and embraced Yi Chen¡¯s waist. ¡°I understand.¡± He put his head on Yi Chen¡¯s left cheek and said in a muffled voice, ¡°You don¡¯t need to learn. The way you speak normally¡­ I already really like listening to it.¡± ¡ª The two days passed quickly. On the day Yi Chen was going to leave, Yu Yan got up really early. Not for anything else, just that he wanted to make a bowl of breakfast noodles for the two of them himself. After breakfast and cleaning up, they took a taxi to the airport. Because they were reluctant to say goodbye, the two of them had lingered at home for awhile before they had left, so by the time Yi Chen got his ticket, it was already time for him to go through the security checkpoint. Yu Yan said, ¡°Then you go ahead ba, and call me when you get off the ne.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°Every night¡¯s video call¡­ still the same ba?¡± ¡°En.¡± Yu Yan was relieved. He nodded. ¡°Go ba.¡± Yi Chen stood in the same ce, motionless. ¡°There¡¯s nothing else you want to say?¡± ¡°There is.¡± Yu Yan suddenly thought of something. ¡°The weather in Jincheng seems to have cooled down in thest few days? Won¡¯t you feel cold wearing just twoyers¡­¡± Yi Chen couldn¡¯t helpughing as he raised his hand and rubbed Yu Yan¡¯s hair. ¡°Not that.¡± Having said that, and then seeing that Yu Yan still hadn¡¯t made any movements, his patience was exhausted, and he simply lowered his head slightly and kissed the person who was still chattering away. Yu Yan immediately went silent. Passers-by were looking at them. The staff standing at the security entrance were also looking at them. Yi Chen didn¡¯t care about these looks at all. His mouth curved up. ¡°Gone silly?¡± Yu Yan, whose heart was pounding, quickly returned to his senses. ¡°No.¡± He forced himself to look calm, raised his hand to grasp Yi Chen¡¯s tie, and carefully put it back into his suit. Then he raised his head and kissed him back. ¡°¡­Go in ba.¡± In the days following Yi Chen¡¯s departure, Yu Yan would pretty much receive Feng Xiong¡¯s call almost every day. In the beginning, he would pick up a few of these calls, until he understood that the other party had no intention of suing him, and then he directly cklisted the number. He met with thewyer several times. The other party was Yu Minyang¡¯s junior and fellow apprentice and was very polite with him. After hearing that Yu Yan was suing Feng Xiong, Lawyer Qin nodded and said truthfully, ¡°Xiao Yan, in fact, I personally don¡¯t rmend that you sue. The other party¡¯s scope of dissemination wasn¡¯trge, and even if you win the case, they will just order the other side to issue an apology and somepensation, and the amount ofpensation won¡¯t be toorge as well. Usually, those cases where those stars sue the paparazzi are mostly done just for show for their fan groups. And hasn¡¯t the other party been actively contacting youtely? You can chat with him, and I don¡¯t think it would be too bad to privately settle this issue.¡± Yu Yan shook his head. ¡°I still intend to sue, Lawyer Qin.¡± It wasn¡¯t just about himself anymore, since StarTV was also involved. He had heard from Good Show that other tforms had also been secretly doing things, and hadtched onto the topic of ¡°StarTV retaining an anchor who is in breach of contract¡± to write some articles. Lawyer Qin nodded and didn¡¯t try to persuade him anymore. He sorted through the documents and put them back in his briefcase. ¡°No problem. Then wait for my news.¡± After saying goodbye to thewyer, Yu Yan went out and hailed a taxi. As soon as he got in the car, his cell phone rang. Lu Xiuhe spoke exasperatedly slowly on the other end, ¡°Um, Xiao Yan¡­ Is it convenient for you to talk right now?¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°It¡¯s convenient, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Um,¡± Lu Xiuhe paused, ¡°I ba, I have something that I was looking for you for.¡± Hearing his hesitation, Yu Yan said, ¡°What is it? You tell me directly.¡± ¡°I,¡± Lu Xiuhe took a deep breath and said, ¡°¡ªI want to borrow some money from you.¡± When Lu Xiuhe said this, he felt a little ashamed. He had lived for 20 years, but had never asked someone to borrow money from them before. He was the kind of person who, if he had money, he would spend it, and if he didn¡¯t have the money, he wouldn¡¯t spend it. He had never borrowed money to do anything before. He had just talked about this to his family, and it would be fine if his dad had just not given it to him, but he had instead interrogated him for half an hour, which scared him enough that he just tossed a few words at him then hurried out of the door. Lu Xiuhe scratched his head. Without waiting for Yu Yan to speak, he went on, ¡°I will pay you back at New Year¡¯s. Of course, if it¡¯s not convenient for you, just forget it ha.¡± Yu Yan let out an ¡°en¡± and said, ¡°How much do you want to borrow?¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s voice grew small again, ¡± 20,000.¡± Yu Yan was surprised. The number couldn¡¯t be said to be toorge, but it also couldn¡¯t be said to be too small. He said, ¡°Okay, 20,000 is enough?¡± ¡°It¡¯s enough, I¡¯m just sending a birthday present.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Thank you ah, Xiao Yan.¡± Yu Yan was even more surprised, ¡°Birthday present¡­you have to buy such an expensive one? Are uncle or auntie having a birthday soon? ¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m giving it to a friend.¡± Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t hide anything from Yu Yan here andined, ¡°Every day that person is so enigmatic, saying that I don¡¯t even want to apany him on his birthday, and saying that I¡¯m stingy. Watch me give him a scare and throw a tens of thousands of yuan belt in his face! ¡± His words were coarse, but really¡­he just wanted to give the other party a nice surprise? Lu Xiuhe himself wasn¡¯t even fond of celebrating his own birthdays, let alone buying expensive gifts for friends. It seemed that he had atste out of hisst failed online dating experience. Yu Yan didn¡¯t say anything. After hanging up, he immediately transferred the money to him and looked out of the window. His thoughts drifted with the speed of the car. Birthday? A nice surprise? When those words were put together, it actually gave off a romantic feeling. After a long time, Yu Yan snapped out of it, clicked on the top WeChat dialog box, and typed a few words: ¡°What month is your birthday¡­¡± In the middle of typing, he paused and soon deleted all of it. If he asked, then it wasn¡¯t a surprise. Then how could he find out? He frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly his eyes brightened. He quickly opened Baidu, typed in Yi Chen¡¯s name, and a series of information immediately popped up. The first thing he looked at was the photo beside the Baidu encyclopedia entry. It was actually a formal profile picture. He didn¡¯t know when it was taken, but anyway it hadn¡¯t been recently. The eyes and eyebrows of the person in the photo remained unchanged, but the overall appearance was a little less mature, a few degrees younger, and in his eyes was still a bit of youthful pride. So handsome. Yu Yan saved this picture and only then looked at the details next to it. A few secondster, he opened his eyes wide. ¨C That day, Yi Chen worked until 10 p.m. By the end of the year, things were piling up. Just to read the documents every day, it took him a long time. When he got home, he rubbed his eyebrows. The first thing he did was send a WeChat message to his little boyfriend. Yet as a result, five minutes had passed, and he was still waiting for a reply. He didn¡¯t have the patience to wait any longer. He raised his hand and video-called him¡ªand he was rejected. Yi Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and didn¡¯t try again. He just raised his hand and clicked on the live tform icon next to WeChat. Yu Yan not returning his messages, there was only one possibility. Sure enough, there floated a familiar livestream on the homepage of the live tform ¨C [yanxyan: End of the year reward! From Monday to Wednesday, you can send 1500 yuan worth of gifts to get a mod vest and jump the line at any time. ] As soon as he went in, he saw his little boyfriend talking to stream followers while loading ammunition, ¡°Boss Meng is going to sleep? Alright, yes, you can get in at any time as long as there¡¯s space next time. Are there any other stream followersing? You can get on the bus by just sending 1500¡­ Time to end the stream? It¡¯s fine, as long as there¡¯s a boss who wants to get on the bus, I¡¯ll just keep carrying and streaming. ¡± Yi Chen¡¯s face had gone dark and without blinking an eye, he threw out a Sea of Stars gift. Yu Yan saw it and first froze, taking a long time to react. His tone was distressed, ¡°¡­.Thank you, Boss 1 for the Sea of Stars.¡± Then he replied to him immediately in private. Little Anchor: !!! Little Anchor: Don¡¯t keep throwing gifts! 1: Who let you ignore me. 1: The agreed upon livestream time, what, you¡¯re being deliberately dishonest? And even encouraging stream followers to continue to send gifts and get on the bus? Little Anchor: I¡¯ll just do it once in a while, just these next few days. 1: No way. Little Anchor: ¡­Then I¡¯ll take two more stream followers and then end the stream! I¡¯ve already received their presents. Two? Yi Chen¡¯s eyebrows twisted. This person couldn¡¯t be nning on carrying people for the whole night? 1: Ask them toe back another day, or return their gifts. Little Anchor: No, no, I can¡¯t. It¡¯s 1500 with carrying two people. This number didn¡¯t even count as money at all in Yi Chen¡¯s eyes. Seeing this tone, he couldn¡¯t helpughing and replied. 1: How can you have suddenly turned into a little miser. In the video, Yu Yan¡¯s expression was very difficult. In a moment, a message popped up Little Anchor: ¡­You don¡¯t understand. Little Anchor: I have to support my family. It¡¯s very hard. ¡ª Juurensha: Aww, Yanyan working hard to support him! Also, while I kind of get why Boss Yi doesn¡¯t want Yanyan liking any other voices (after all, he fell in love with him because of his voice), that¡¯s not exactly something Yanyan can control, Boss Yi¡­.

Chapter 93 - Nice surprise. Chapter 93 - Nice surprise. Edited by Noks Towards the end of the year, all of theizens posted their own year-end summaries on Weibo. The hashtag #YearEndReport soared to the top of the trending hotlist. Many big verified ounts followed suit, in order to also gain some poprity. [XX electric appliances: #YearEndReport #2018Lookback, we sold X electric appliances and received X pieces of feedback, with a high praise rating of X%¡­.] [XX Video: #YearEndReport #2018Lookback, XX video brought you X self-made ys, of which the number of views for has exceeded X billion] ¡­¡­ And what stood out from amongst these big verified ounts wasn¡¯t the video tform with the highest number of views in the wholework, nor the brokeragepany with thergest brand of artists under its banner, but a livestream tform. To be frank, although this livestream tform was the leader in its own industry, when ced among all the big verified ounts, it generally wouldn¡¯t even be mentioned. The number of fans any star had could drown out thement section of the livestream tform¡¯s official ount. So why did it get so popr? Because the content of the year end report released by the live tform went like this¡ª [StarTV official blog: #YearEndReport #AnotherYearHasPassed, Little Star is here to give you the year-end report. This year, there were XXX contracted anchors on this tform, and the number of new users has reached X billion!

This year, the most ambitious stream follower on the tform is ¡°Yanyan¡¯s Daddy¡± @Yi Chen, who has given XXX million yuan worth of gifts in 2018! ¡­¡­ ] At first, this Weibo post only became a little popr in the world of e-sports, but after being forwarded by a big verified ount in the esports circle¡­ it traveled out of the circle. Netizens didn¡¯t understand what was going on at first, but they woke up after they clicked through the @s that the official blog had attached to the post. [Thank you to stream follower Yi something for his great contribution to his own enterprise, thank you to this stream follower!] [Sure enough, it¡¯s like a game for rich people to start up a live tform.] [This is a real big boss here, he¡¯s Yida Group¡¯s boss.

It doesn¡¯t matter if we can¡¯t be Jie/Mei, we can nibble on this CP hand in hand ya!] The assistant braced himself and looked at his boss, who was currently holding an iPad and flipping through such Weiboments. ¡°President Yi, StarTV said your name is hanging in the livestream studio¡¯s¡­ you are No. 1 on their list of local tyrants, and they¡¯re asking if it¡¯s necessary for them to take it off.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Yi Chen flipped around randomly and came across many unfamiliar words. He opened Baidu, searched ¡°I¡¯m willing¡± and ¡°Chicken Coop warning¡±, saw the exnations that jumped out, and couldn¡¯t help but raise an eyebrow. The assistant nodded. ¡°Then on the Weibo side, do you need them to get rid of the threads concerning you? Yi Chen finally looked up from the iPad. He asked, ¡°Have you been very bored recently?¡± The assistant¡¯s heart jumped, and he hurriedly replied, ¡°No¡­¡± ¡°Then how can you have the time to be concerned about these small matters every single day?¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°It was also your idea to have someone blur out my featuresst time.¡± The assistant suffered in silence. He reminded him in a small voice, ¡°President Yi¡­ Didn¡¯t you say three years ago that you didn¡¯t want to appear on camera?¡± Yi Chen frowned. Three years ago? The assistant added, ¡°At that awards banquet.¡± Yi Chen remembered. Three years ago, at an awards banquet, he had been stalked by a female celebrity. He had gotten extremely irritated because the camera was in front of him and he couldn¡¯t blow up in public. At the end of the banquet, he had given orders to the other party to remove all his scenes. The organizer was very sensible. While cutting out all his scenes, he also cut out the scenes of that female celebritypletely. This matter spread very quickly, and after that, no one dared to cling to him openly in public. Yi Chen asked, ¡°Then if I say today that I don¡¯t want to eat, will there be no need for me to eat at all in the future?¡± That was to say¡ªthe list of local tyrants wouldn¡¯t need to be removed, nor did the Weibo post need to be re-edited. The assistant said, ¡°I understand, President Yi.¡± With that, the assistant picked up the documents on the desk that needed to be printed and sent, and nced at the small objects lying beside the documents. His boss always liked a clean and tidy desk. There was almost nothing on the desk except for the necessaryputer, pens, and paper. He didn¡¯t even have any decorative flowers or picture frames. Recently though, one thing had been added. A small calendar. From his point of view, he could also see that the other party had drawn a circle around a certain date. He had just helped his boss in booking a ticket to Manyang on this specific datest week. Yi Chen raised his eyes. ¡°What else?¡± The assistant came back to his senses and hurriedly said, ¡°Yes. President Yi, that Mr. Liu has been continuously trying to get an appointment with you at the front desk these past few days. Today, he said that if he still couldn¡¯t meet you¡­ then he was going to directly contact Mrs. Yi.¡± Normally, this kind of thing was easy to deal with; the number of appointments they refused were many. However, this person was different; this was a distant rtive of their boss. How could they dare to refuse him? They could only find an excuse to procrastinate day after day. Upon the mention of this person, Yi Chen¡¯s expression grew colder by several degrees. After a long time, he said, ¡°Tomorrow afternoon, set aside ten minutes for him.¡± ¡ª¡ª ¡°Yi Chen, just because you can make thepany growrger doesn¡¯t mean you can just disown your close rtives.¡± A bald middle-aged man stood at his desk with an unhappy expression. He was Yi Chen¡¯s distant uncle . ¡°We¡¯re all rtives here, what need is there to have arrived at this step? Must you put him to death?¡± Yi Chen looked at him and asked sarcastically, ¡°I¡¯m putting him to death?¡± The middle-aged man said boldly and straightforwardly, ¡°Of course! Although he was the one who ran into you, and he was wrong first, but he has already been locked in for so long, so his punishment should be enough by now ba? Are you really going to let him squat there for a year and a half?! And he¡¯s still young. If the sentence really gets handed down, then he will be considered to have a stain upon his life!¡± ¡°Was forced to leave by his school, almost went to juvenile detention, and a few years ago, was nearly used of rape¡­¡± Yi Chen¡¯s tone was light as he retorted, ¡°I don¡¯t think him having this matter added onto his life would make much of a difference.¡± The middle-aged man took a deep breath. ¡°He was framed for all those matters! He¡¯s a good boy, it¡¯s just that sometimes, he¡¯s easily impulsive.¡± Seeing that Yi Chen wasn¡¯t going to let go of the matter, he said again, ¡°How about this then ba. Yi Chen, as long as you let him go this time¡­ I will give you that house in the western suburbs, just count it as Uncle giving you a New Year¡¯s gift.¡± ¡°A house?¡± Yi Chen turned his pen. ¡°This son of yours is worth a lot of money.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be greedy, that house is worth millions! I know it¡¯s nothing to you, but this house counts as a sign of the greatest sincerity from our side. And in the end, you won¡¯t need to do anything, you just need to write up a dispute settlement. If you feel that¡¯s troublesome, I¡¯ll ask someone to print it out, and you can just copy it¡ª¡± Yi Chen nced at the time. His ten minutes were nearly up. Instead of talking nonsense, he tossed his pen on the table and said, ¡°How about this then ba?¡± The middle aged man straightened his back. ¡°What?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll give you two houses.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s tone had not changed at all, it was as if he was really discussing it with him. ¡°You give meplete peace and quiet, don¡¯t bother me again. Otherwise, the security guard will drive you away, and I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t look good for you.¡± The man became so angry that his blood pressure suddenly shot up. ¡°You!!¡± ¡°No.¡± Yi Chen raised his hand and held up three fingers. ¡°I¡¯ll add another one. In exchange for your son staying in there for another year, how is that?¡± ¡°Yi Chen!! Don¡¯t go too far in bullying others!!!¡± The man stood up, his face a mottled red. ¡°Do you really think that just because you have money you can bully others? Let me tell you, there¡¯s no such thing!¡± If he hadn¡¯t already known that he couldn¡¯t beat Yi Chen up physically, he was afraid that by this point, he would have already tried something. Yi Chen leaned back and said, ¡°Take care, I won¡¯t be seeing you off.¡± ¡°I will have to make this matter today known to all our rtives!¡± The middle-aged man took a few deep breaths. ¡°I want them to know that your entire person, including your blood, is ice cold!¡± ¡°No wonder your parents talked about adopting a child a few years ago and visited welfare homes everywhere. I actually thought it was strange at that time, but now I understand. If it was me, I would also have to find myself a son again, so that I can be rest assured of having support for my old age ah!¡± Throughout this tirade, Yi Chen looked at him with a calm face. Once he fell silent, Yi Chen asked, ¡°Are you done?¡± When the man left, he mmed the office door shut so hard that it seemed as if a crack of thunder had just fallen, and the sound reverberated throughout the whole floor. Seeing this, his assistant hurried in. ¡°President Yi, you¡¯re alright ba¡­¡± Yi Chen picked up a document and said lightly, ¡°If hees again, let the security guard drive him away.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± The assistant gently closed the door behind him, and silence immediately returned to the office. Yi Chen stared at the document in front of him. He felt that the words and figures in front of him were all piling together in a blur, and making his head hurt. Adoption. inly speaking, their biological son was almost 30 years old,pletely healthy, and had a smooth career. The couple themselves were nearly 60 years old, but they suddenly wanted to adopt a new child? It was too ridiculous. Although he knew that he shouldn¡¯t believe all of this distant uncle¡¯s words, his first thought after hearing this wasn¡¯t to question it, but rather a¡ª ¡°so it¡¯s like that¡±. When he had taken over thepany a few years ago, his parents had often nagged into his ear, especially Mother Yi, and kept telling him to not spend all his time on work and toe home more and apany them some more. But in the past two years, these words had be fewer and fewer. They flew all over the world, going to Paris today to watch a show, and then going to New York the day after tomorrow to see an exhibition. They hadn¡¯t even made many phone calls to him during the whole month. So it turned out that they had already decided to adopt another child. Outside the office, the secretary first looked at the closed office door before asking in a low voice, ¡°Assistant Chen, the argument just now was so intense, do I still need to go inside to remind President Yi about the meeting in a bit?¡± ¡°Of course,¡± the assistant said, ¡°Is this the first time you¡¯ve met President Yi? What can stop him from working?¡± The secretary was about to nod when he heard a snap, and the office door suddenly opened. Yi Chen, wearing only a white shirt and carrying the suit jacket in his arms, stepped out of his office. ¡°Today¡¯s meeting is cancelled.¡± Only after he had walked far away did the secretarye back to his senses. ¡°Didn¡¯t you just say¡­¡± The assistant was shocked as well. He looked away after awhile and said, ¡°It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over¡­.these next few days, just run away with the tail between your legs ba. You definitely don¡¯t want to provoke the boss.¡± Finally, after he got in the car, Yi Chen¡¯s tense expression loosened a little. He frowned and raised his hand to loosen his tie. Because he used too much strength, his cor also got messed up. A few minutester, a ck car sped out of the parking lot. When he got home, Yi Chen threw the car key on the living room table and directlyy on the sofa. Yi Ran had gone to Mo Nancheng¡¯s party today, so there was no one at home. He was about to close his eyes for a short rest when he felt a sudden weight on his leg. Little Fool jumped on him, and because he was hungry, he kept rubbing himself on him. Yi Chen stared at him for a while, and his eyes cleared up again. He raised his hand and rubbed his head. ¡°You already finished off the bowl?¡± Little Fool: ¡°Meow.¡± Yi Chen picked up the cat and poured some cat food into his bowl. Little Fool jumped down at once, opened his mouth wide, and began to eat. Yi Chen sat next to him and watched for a while. He couldn¡¯t help but take out his cellphone, take a picture, and send it to Yu Yan. He didn¡¯t receive a reply even after a long time had passed. It was only then that he figured out that right now was Yu Yan¡¯s livestreaming time. He was about to open up the live tform when his cellphone screen shed, and a phone call came through. Seeing the ID on the call disy, Yi Chen paused in his movement of petting the cat, and there was a short pause before he picked up the call. ¡°Yi Chen.¡± Mo Nancheng¡¯s voice was a bit weak. ¡°Are you still angry with me ah?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not angry,¡± said Yi Chen. ¡°I was too hurried in the way I talked that day, don¡¯t fuss over it too much, I¡¯m apologizing to you now. I¡¯m sorry ah.¡± Now that Mo Nancheng had already made up his mind to apologize, his manner of speech was nimble. ¡°Why don¡¯t youe here? Let¡¯s meet and talk.¡± Yi Chen remained silent, not answering. Mo Nancheng let out a ¡°hello¡± and said, ¡°Can you hear me? It¡¯s a bit noisy on my side¡­¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t that group of peopleugh at you at the get-together?¡± After a while, Yi Chen asked, ¡°Why did you stille to find me?¡± Mo Nancheng was then struck dumb. He hadn¡¯t been angry at Yi Chen that day for no reason. Just a few days before their quarrel, some of his friends had gotten together and had a few too many drinks. As soon as they opened their mouths, they started mocking Mo Nancheng that he was a dog owned by Yi Chen that was loyal to his owner and ttered him every day, but still didn¡¯t get any benefits from Yi Chen. Later, Mo Nancheng had fallen out with that group of people. It hadn¡¯t been a small matter, and Yi Chen could find out about it at any time. Mo Nancheng struggled for a long time, then said, ¡°It¡¯s not like that, I didn¡¯t take their words to heart¡­¡± Having said that, he stopped speaking. Didn¡¯t take it to heart? Clearly the two of them had quarreled that day, and no one would believe what he had just said. Mo Nancheng scratched his head and hurriedly said, ¡°I was a little angry at that time, but I¡¯ve thought about it these past few days¡­¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Yi Chen interrupted him, ¡°I won¡¯t go, and you guys y slowly.¡± With that, he didn¡¯t bother to listen to what the other side would say anymore and just hung up. There was silence again. Looking at the empty screen, he suddenly felt a little lonely. People with higher positions in thepany usually had two phone numbers¡ªone work number and one private number. However, Yi Chen had only arranged for one number. Because he had no use for a private number. Apart from work, the only people who would call him were Father Yi, Mother Yi, and Mo Nancheng. He had even less use for text messages and the like. Now, his parents were about to adopt a new child, and he had broken off rtions with his friend. Yi Chen let out a long breath and suddenly felt tired. The question Mother Yi asked him the most was what was the point of making money. He had originally been dismissive of this kind of question, but now, he couldn¡¯t help but ask himself this very question in the bottom of his heart. What was the point of making money? Was it wrong that he worked day and night? Was it wrong that since he didn¡¯t like to stay in nightclubs and didn¡¯t like to waste time on racing or golf, so he often refused friends¡¯ invitation? Was it also wrong that he had listened to his grandfather¡¯s dying words, and made thepany bigger step by step, and wanted his parents to live a life without worrying about food, drink, and fun? Yi Chen reviewed everything that had happened in these past few months. In his present situation, it wasn¡¯t too much to say that he had been forsaken by his friends and allies. Yi Chen leaned back and put his head against the wall. For the first time, he felt at aplete loss. ¡°Meow.¡± Little Fool suddenly came to him and gently circled his arm with his tail, calling Yi Chen back to his senses. He looked at Little Fool¡¯s dark and quick-witted eyes, and suddenly thought of another pair of eyes. He sat up straight, drove the cat to the side, took out his cellphone from under the cat¡¯s feet, and easily clicked into the livestream. It was dark inside, without even a single line in the barrage. ¡ª¡ªYou are early. The anchor is not at home now oh. Yi Chen frowned, looked up, and saw a line of big characters in the studio¡ª [yanxyan: Today I¡¯m taking a day off.] A day off? Why didn¡¯t he hear about it? He flipped to his address book and was just about to make a phone call when he suddenly heard a few clear beeping noises. It was the sound of the door passcode being entered. He instinctively looked around and only heard the melody of it being sessfully unlocked sound out after six beeps. After the door was unlocked, a young man pushed the door open with his feet, since he was carrying arge cake box in one hand and a suitcase in the other, and squeezed into the house with difficulty and clumsiness. The young man didn¡¯t look up after entering the room. First, he let out a little sigh of relief, put the suitcase aside and closed the door, before then slowly turning around. ¡ªTo face the man sitting next to the cat¡¯s nest. Yi Chen was in a rare state of astonishment, and Yu Yan was alsopletely shocked. Yu Yan looked at the clock on the wall and then at the man sitting on the ground. Then he put down the things in his hand and walked towards him while asking, ¡°You¡­ Why are you off work?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Chen suddenly stood up. Before he could even react, Yu Yan was pulled into his arms. It was a very strong hug. They weren¡¯t wearing much, so Yu Yan could clearly feel Yi Chen¡¯s body warmth. After a long time, Yi Chen asked in a hoarse voice, ¡°¡­.Why are you here?¡± ¡°I¡­¡­¡± Yu Yan had been so startled by his enthusiastic wee that he only then remembered the purpose of his visit. He put his chin gently on Yi Chen¡¯s shoulder and hugged him back, a smile in his voice as he said¡ª ¡°I came to give you a nice surprise ah.¡± ¡°Happy birthday, Yi Chen.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: ¡­Yanyan¡¯s so sweet! And his timing was so good! Poor Yi Chen, having a breakdown over this adoption thing. Really, I feel like only rich people can be like ¡°oh what¡¯s the point of making money.¡± M¡¯am, without your son earning all that money, how would you be able to be jet-setting around without a care?

Edited by Noks Yi Chen had never felt his heart beat so fast. He was like a drowning man who had been suddenly pulled out of the water with great effort, and could only gulp in deep breaths of air now. Noticing that something wasn¡¯t right with him, Yu Yan froze, raised his hand, and patted his back. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yi Chen smelled the scent of milk on his body and quickly recovered from his gaffe. ¡°Nothing.¡± He still held him and asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say a word abouting here? I would have had someone pick you up.¡± ¡°If I had said something, then it wouldn¡¯t be a surprise ah.¡± Yu Yanughed. ¡°Why did you get off work so early?¡± He had had it all nned out. If he arrived before 5 o¡¯clock, Yi Chen would definitely not be at home. A few days ago, he had surreptitiously probed around a bit and had found out that Yi Chen wouldn¡¯t have any other celebration feasts today. Originally, he had thought that all these conditions had made the situation favorable for him, but in the end, there was still a screw-up. However, that was fine. He just wanted to celebrate Yi Chen¡¯s birthday, whether or not it was a surprise wasn¡¯t that important. Yi Chen had just reflected on what Yu Yan had just said. He frowned. ¡°Birthday?¡± ¡°Yes ah.¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°You left work so early, have you eaten yet?¡± ¡°Not yet.¡± Yi Chen paused. ¡°How did you know that today is my birthday?¡± Yu Yan hehed and seemed to be very proud as he answered, ¡°I checked it on Baidu.¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows, lifted his hand, and rubbed his neck. He didn¡¯t say much and just asked, ¡°Tired from the flight?¡± ¡°That flight was how long ah, I¡¯m not that delicate.¡± Speaking of this, Yu Yan suddenly thought of something and hastened to pat Yi Chen¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Wait¡­You let go first.¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t move and instead said, ¡°Hug for a while longer.¡± Yu Yanughed. ¡°No. The cake¡­ it has to go in the fridge.¡± The embrace was then over. Yu Yan picked up the big cake and said, ¡°I¡¯ll borrow the refrigerator for a bit.¡± Yi Chen raised his hand to untie his tie, his fatigue from earlier nowpletely gone because of the hug. ¡°What borrow, this whole house is yours. Why did you buy such a big cake? And carry it all the way from Manyang?¡± ¡°No, I picked it out in advance at a cake shop in Jincheng.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Hasn¡¯t Yi Ran also been living in your house recently? I was afraid that if it was too small, there wouldn¡¯t be enough to eat.¡± Yu Yan opened the refrigerator and was stunned. He wasn¡¯t very good at cooking, but because he was at home all year round, he would buy some frozen cooked food to put in the refrigerator. However, the refrigerator in Yi Chen¡¯s house was too empty. There was nothing in it but two bottles of beer. Seeing his doubtful look, Yi Chen said, ¡°Auntie buys fresh ingredients every day, and I let her take the remaining ones back with her. Did you eat anything on your way here?¡± ¡°Had a little airne dinner,¡± Yu Yan replied. Yi Chen walked behind him and curved his hand around his neck. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Yu Yan turned his head and asked, ¡°Go where?¡± ¡°Restaurant.¡± Yi Chen met his eyes and said, ¡°Or the supermarket?¡± Yu Yan soon understood what he meant. ¡°¡­But I can only make noodles.¡± ¡°Noodles are very delicious too.¡± Yu Yan fell into a little bit of a daze, and soon the two of them went out. They just so happened to leave at the time when everyone was getting off work, and thus encountered a few traffic jams, which resulted in them taking half an hour to reach the supermarket. When they entered the supermarket, the two of them first went straight to the grocery section. ¡°How long are you staying this time?¡± Yi Chen picked up a shopping basket casually with one hand. The supermarket had changed the color of the baskets to red since New Year¡¯s wasing,pletely unaware of the fact that this new color made their customers look like the people who carried vegetable baskets to buy vegetables in a vige. However, Yi Chen would look fantastic even if he was walking down a catwalk carrying such a basket. ¡°Don¡¯t know yet, I haven¡¯t booked the return tickets yet.¡± Yu Yan found the brand of noodles that he often cooked, put it in the basket, took out his cellphone, and opened a ticket booking app. Yi Chen thought he wanted to look at airne tickets now, so he directly grabbed his cellphone away from him and said, ¡°Don¡¯t go back.¡± ¡°No.¡± Of course, Yu Yan was also reluctant to go back so early. He said, ¡°¡­I forgot that the room from before is now being upied by Yi Ran ba? I just wanted to see if there are any hotel rooms avable nearby.¡± ¡°That¡¯s your room, what would he be doing staying there? He stays in a different room.¡± Then Yi Chen stated with a frown, ¡°No, you don¡¯t have a room, you will sleep with me.¡± The middle-aged woman who was shopping nearby heard their conversation, raised her head abruptly, and stared at them with extremely strange and unfriendly eyes. Her gaze was first discovered by Yi Chen, who expressionlessly shifted his position to block the other party¡¯s view. Yu Yan exited the app and smiled with a red face. ¡°Then I won¡¯t look anymore.¡± Yu Yan had originally only wanted to buy some things that could be cooked quickly and without any fuss by adding some seasonings, but in the end, they kept picking up things as they walked, and most of the shopping basket was thus filled. The supermarket was also very busy during rush hour, and there was a line at every checkout station. Yu Yan was just about to pick a line with the smallest number of people when suddenly a thought struck his mind as they were approaching a line. He subconsciously grasped Yi Chen¡¯s hand. Yi Chen looked sideways at him. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°¡­¡­ I¡¯ll line up ba.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°You wait for me in the parking lot first.¡± ¡°Together.¡± ¡°But it suddenly urred to me that I didn¡¯t buy something, and I¡¯ll have to go back and look for it.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s voice got a bit quieter. He released his hand and took the basket from Yi Chen. ¡°¡­You get in the car first and wait for me. I¡¯ll be there soon.¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and stared at him for a long time. ¡°Alright ba.¡± Yu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and watched Yi Chen walk off. He carried his shopping basket and hurriedly returned to the merchandise area. Yi Chen slowly strolled towards the exit, turned his head around, and after confirming that his little boyfriend had left, he straightforwardly turned around and walked to the cash register with the least number of people in line. After only a few minutes, Yu Yan returned. Yi Chen nced at the shopping basket, but only saw the pile of food that they had already gotten, and nothing else. As expected, Yu Yan went to the line with the least number of people. A customer left after checking out, and the spot opened up. Just as Yi Chen was about to take the opportunity to go in, he saw Yu Yan make a move. Because of the empty position in front, Yu Yan could move forward a few steps,ing to a stand right next to the shelf next to the checkout counter. Yi Chen saw his little boyfriend nce around at his surroundings like a thief. Then, his little boyfriend¡¯s eyes went straight to the shelf on the right. He looked at it for about a minute ba, and just as Yi Chen was feeling that his eyes were bing tired, Yu Yan raised his hand and quickly took something from the shelf. Then he poked out a few pieces of food from the top of the shopping basket, carefully buried the item at the bottom, covered it up tightly with the things above, and after he was done, kept ncing down. It didn¡¯t look like he was just normally buying things, but instead as if he was stealing something. ¡°¡­¡­¡± By the time he had finished this whole process, Yu Yan¡¯s heart had almost jumped out of his throat. He let out a breath, lowered his head to make sure that he had hidden everything perfectly, and only then started lining up without bearing any worries. 10 minutester, it was finally his turn. First, he took things out of the basket one by one. When he got to thest few items, his actions became twice as fast. Before the cashier could even see his movements clearly, those supplies were ced by her hands. The cashier was a girl. She looked at what was by her hand and very calmly picked it up. She looked up as if she didn¡¯t care. ¡°Do you need a shopping bag?¡± ¡ª¡ªFuck, this boy was so handsome. Yu Yan nodded desperately. ¡°Yes. The biggest size, thank you.¡± ¡°Do you have a membership with our supermarket?¡± the girl asked as she bagged the items. Seeing that the other party put those things considerately at the bottom of the bag, Yu Yan gave the other party a grateful look. ¡°No.¡± ¡°That¡¯s 637 yuan.¡± The girl replied with an ¡®I understand¡¯ugh and asked, ¡°Swipe card or pay cash?¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Alipay¡­¡± ¡°WeChat.¡± A male voice came from the side. Yu Yan¡¯s smile froze. Next to him was Yi Chen, who had just returned from the passageway. He picked up the stic bag very naturally, scanned the QR code in front of him with his cellphone, and smoothly paid the bill. The cashier was also stunned. After the prompt of the sessful payment rang out, she immediately returned to her senses. ¡°Okay, this is your receipt¡­¡± Whoosh. Yu Yan quickly grabbed the receipt. The cashier¡¯s hand paused in the empty space and she suddenly felt that the atmosphere wasn¡¯t quite right. She was still thinking hard when she saw the handsome man who had suddenly just arrived reach out and take the boy¡¯s hand. All. Of. Their. Fingers. Entwined. Together. Yi Chen asked, ¡°Are you finished this time?¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°¡­.I¡¯m done.¡± The cashier showed a perfect smile, full of professionalism and said in a gentle tone, ¡°Pleasee again soon.¡± ¡ª¡ªFuck, this person with such an high appearance value even does gay rtionships only with people with the same level of appearance as his own?? * They went all the way back to the car. Yu Yan had just breathed a sigh of relief and was just about to fasten his seat belt when he heard a question from the person next to him. ¡°Did you get it?¡± Yu Yan¡¯s actions paused. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were going back to buy something?¡± Yi Chen started the car, turned on the heating, and gave him a sideways nce as he asked again, ¡°Did you buy it?¡± ¡°¡­¡­ Yes.¡± ¡°What did you buy?¡± Yu Yan replied with a poker-face, ¡°Some daily necessities.¡± Yi Chenughed and stretched his long fingers into the stic bag. Then in front of Yu Yan¡¯s dazed eyes, he urately took out those daily necessities, held them in his hand, and carefully looked at them¡ª ¡°Ultra thin, skin-friendly, andfortable.¡± Yi Chen read its description seriously before looking at the other item. ¡°Longsting, tasteless, easy to clean¡­¡± Then came to the conclusion¡ª¡±Pretty good.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡­¡­¡± Yu Yan had fallen into a daze. Yi Chen threw the things back into the bag. Seeing Yu Yan¡¯s appearance, he couldn¡¯t help butugh. How had he picked up such a treasureah? Yu Yan only snapped out of this daze after awhile. Now that he had been discovered, he took a deep breath and said with a red face, ¡°I just¡­ am preparing for any contingency. Don¡¯tugh.¡± Yi Chen replied, ¡°I didn¡¯tugh.¡± Yu Yan took a few deep breaths, reached out to turn down the heating, pulled down the window a bit, and tried to change the topic. ¡°¡­did you turn on the heat too high, it¡¯s a little stuffy.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t blush, and you won¡¯t be stuffy.¡± Yi Chen asked, ¡°Did you watch some videos secretly?¡± Yu Yan acted as if someone had stepped on his tail. ¡°No! What videos?!!¡± Seeing him get all puffed up, Yi Chen stopped teasing him and used a lot of effort to hold back hisughter. ¡°Nothing¡­ Let¡¯s go home.¡± Who knew that before the car could even drive some distance away from the supermarket, he would hear Yu Yan say in a low voice, ¡°I watched a little.¡± His voice was too quiet, and Yi Chen was startled. ¡°What?¡± ¡°I said-¡± Yu Yan looked out of the window, and his voice was as small as a mosquito¡¯s as he repeated, ¡°I watched a little, just some videos.¡± Yi Chen: ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°I also checked, so there shouldn¡¯t¡­ the ones I bought shouldn¡¯t leak.¡± Now it was Yi Chen¡¯s turn to take a deep breath. He couldn¡¯t help butugh, and stretched his hand out to hold Yu Yan¡¯s. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Yu Yan forced himself to pretend to be calm, but in fact, his heart had nearly flown up into the heavens during this back-and-forth. He still kept looking out of the window and put on an old driver¡¯s voice as he said¡ª ¡°¡­¡­ We¡¯re all adults anyway.¡± ¡ªActing as though the one who had sneakily gone off to buy contraceptives wasn¡¯t him at all. Yi Chen was caught so off guard that he almost didn¡¯t stop at the red light. ¡ª Juurensha: Hahaha, poor Yanyan at the grocery store (although Yanyan, I¡¯m willing to bet Yi Chen already has you guys covered there ?? Noks: Now we all know what Yanyan¡¯s birthday gift to Yi Chen is gonna be!!! Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here!

Chapter 95 - . Edited by Noks Yi Chen took a packet from the bundle of snacks he had just bought out of the bag, opened its packaging, and stuffed a chocte into Yu Yan¡¯s mouth. Yu Yan tasted the sweetness and said vaguely, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Do you still want to eat?¡± Yi Chen asked him. ¡°Yes ah.¡± ¡°Then be quiet, don¡¯t talk.¡± After Yi Chen finished saying this, he paused and continued, ¡°Note down whatever else it is you want to say in your heart first, then recite it all back to meter.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Yu Yan bit the chocte in his mouth in half. The two of them returned home. The car stopped, and Yu Yan carried therge shopping bag and quickly got out of the car. Yi Chen closed the door, looked at his figure being in a hurry to get away, andughed. ¡°What are you running for?¡± Weren¡¯t you speaking so rashly and boldly in the car just now? Yu Yan didn¡¯t even turn his head as he replied, ¡°I¡¯m going to wash the vegetables!¡± Yu Yan ran home, grabbed those particr things out of the bag, and randomly ced them out of sight on a high shelf of the living room bookshelf. He had been worried that when Yi Chen took things outter, he would identally find these things again¡­ Wouldn¡¯t that be very embarrassing?! After he put those things away, he let out a breath of relief and carried the bag into the kitchen to prepare dinner. Yet as a result, as soon as he entered the kitchen, Yi Chen followed behind him. Yu Yan¡¯s finger paused just as he was about to click on a Baidu recipe and he asked, ¡°Howe you¡¯re here too?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s make it together.¡± Yi Chen pushed up the cuffs of his shirt a little bit. ¡°Which one are we doing first?¡± After the two of them put everything in order, they started on cooking the first dish. Yu Yan picked up his cellphone and looked embarrassed. He finally scooted closer to Yi Chen¡¯s side. ¡°Yi Chen.¡± His voice wasn¡¯t loud as he asked, ¡°¡­.It says to put 3 grams of seasoning in. How much is 3 grams?¡± Yi Chen scanned the recipe. All the ingredient quantities stated in it were urate down to the gram. It looked detailed, but it wasn¡¯t practical. He first divided out the seasonings, then took Yu Yan¡¯s cellphone, and found a different recipe for the same dish. This time, the quantities were not a pile of numbers, but instead used ¡°spoons¡± for measurement. Yi Chen said in a light voice, ¡°Don¡¯t look at this kind of recipe in the future, even if you call over the person who wrote the recipe, he may not be able to weigh out 3 grams himself.¡± Yu Yan had originally felt a little depressed. Although it had been beyond his control, he had recently discovered that his knowledge when it came to all aspects of life was still too little. The person next to him had gently given him a way out of this awkward situation. Yu Yan pursed his lips, and then nodded. He had just picked up the spat and turned the vegetables over when he found his hands suddenly empty. ¡°Leave your hands to grasp the mouse,¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°I¡¯ll do it, you go wash the vegetables.¡± Although the taste of this home-made dinner couldn¡¯tpare with that of food from restaurants, they both enjoyed it very much. After finishing dinner, Yu Yan took the cake out of the refrigerator. ¡°When will Yi Rane back? Shall we wait for him?¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°No need, just leave some for him in the refrigerator.¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t know how many years it had been since he had seen a birthday cake and the like. As Yu Yan took out a candle from the bag, he frowned slightly and asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t there candles shaped like numbers?¡± ¡°There weren¡¯t any number 8 candles.¡± Yu Yan said tactfully, ¡°And with ordinary candles, I was afraid I wouldn¡¯t stick the candles in well, and it wouldn¡¯t look good.¡± Yi Chen: ¡°¡­¡± The candles would be thick and dense, of course it wouldn¡¯t look good. Yu Yan lit the candle, turned off the lights, then gave him a sideways nce. ¡°Do you want me to sing Happy Birthday?¡± Yi Chen suddenly asked him, ¡°How do you spend your birthdays?¡± Yu Yan was stunned and answered casually, ¡°I¡­ order myself a big meal ba.¡± He made it sound better than it had been. He had been living in straitened circumstances these past few years, so how could he care about whether or not it was his birthday. If it hadn¡¯t been for China Mobile sending him a birthday blessing text message every year, he would have nearly forgotten about it. Yi Chen held his gaze. ¡°No singing.¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Then what¡¯s your wish?¡± Yi Chen closed his eyes, but thought of nothing. After he blew out the candle, and the lights were turned back on, Yu Yan took out a ck package from behind him. ¡°Happy birthday.¡± His eyes were shining, and his small tiger¡¯s tooth looked particrly dazzling with his smile. ¡°This is a gift.¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows, took the box, and opened it. It was a silver wristwatch inteced with ck metal with an exquisite design and generous in style. It could be seen that the workmanship was exceptionally fine and that its price wouldn¡¯t have been cheap. Yi Chen knew the brand on the box. There were many seven figure style, and even the lowest priced ones were at least worth five figures. This one looked like the middle-ss style of that brand. All men had a special love for watches and shoes, and Yi Chen was no different. He had never seen a watch that seemed more pleasing to him. He didn¡¯t rush to take it out and asked, ¡°How could you buy something so expensive, didn¡¯t you say you needed to support your family?¡± ¡°Supporting you is supporting my family ah.¡± Yu Yan looked at him eagerly and urged him, ¡°Put it on and have a look?¡± Yi Chen held the box, slightly absent-minded after hearing those words. ¡°Supporting him¡± was too novel of a saying. It was the same as whenever Yu Yan had said that he would protect him during the livestream. Why did he love hearing it so much? He undid the seven figure watch on his wrist, randomly tossed in on the table, and carefully put on the new watch. Yi Chen¡¯s hands had distinct knuckles, and each finger was very slender. Even if he wore a 100 yuan watch on his wrist, it would still look very good. Yu Yan stared fixedly at Yi Chen¡¯s hand for a very long time. Yu Yan was obviously not wearing the watch, but he felt so satisfied and was happier than if he had been the one wearing it. Yu Yan asked, ¡°Do you like it? I¡¯m not very good at picking these things¡­¡± ¡°I like it.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°I like it very much.¡± ¡°Then that¡¯s good.¡± He nced at the watch on the table and asked, ¡°Then should we put this one back somewhere?¡± Yi Chen put the watch on the shelf beside him, ¡°If I put it somewhere high, it¡¯ll be fine.¡± Yu Yan had still spent a few hours in a luxury watch brand store, so he could tell that that watch wasn¡¯t cheap with a nce. ¡°Otherwise, first put it back¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, he felt something cold at the corner of his mouth. He didn¡¯t react at first, but when he smelled the cake, he said, ¡°What are you¡ª¡± So naive. Yi Chen had touched some icing with his index finger and smeared it at the corner of Yu Yan¡¯s mouth. Yi Chen had wanted to divert his attention away from the watch. He said, ¡°Still not cutting the cake yet?¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°¡­going to cut it. You cut it ba. The long-lived birthday boy is always the one who cuts the cake first.¡± Yi Chen nodded and was just about to pick up the stic knife from the cake shop when he suddenly thought of something. He raised his hand and extended his index finger towards Yu Yan¡¯s mouth. Yu Yan looked at him nkly. ¡°Huh?¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Lick it clean, or it¡¯ll dirty the knife.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Yu Yan¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Just wipe it with a paper towel¡ª¡± Before he could finish speaking, Yi Chen took advantage of his open mouth and put his fingertip in. ¡°¡­¡­¡± Then what else could he do? It¡¯s already in, and it¡¯s not like he could drive it out, and he wasn¡¯t willing to bite it. Yi Chen was originally just trying to tease him. However, the moment he was about to pull it out, he felt something lightly touch his fingertip. ¡ªThen wrap around it and clean up the bit of icing there. Yu Yan quickly finished off the icing on his finger, and felt the sweet and sticky taste spread downwards from the tip of his tongue. Yu Yan turned his face away, the tips of his ears all red. ¡°Okay, cut it quickly.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s throat bobbed gently. He listened to him and cut the first slice. Yu Yan was just about to get the stic tes to serve the cake when he heard Yi Chen ask, ¡°Is the cake good?¡± Yu Yan nodded. ¡°It¡¯s very good, but it¡¯s a little sweet. Eat less ba.¡± ¡°Very sweet?¡± Yi Chen asked. Yu Yan answered, ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen nodded, ¡°Then I¡¯ll try some.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll get a te¡­¡± Before Yu Yan could finish speaking, the man next to him suddenly lowered his head slightly and kissed the icing smeared at the corner of his mouth. No one really wanted to eat the cake. Yu Yan almost couldn¡¯t hold the te stably. He felt so hot that he randomly tossed the te to the side and reflexively clenched his hands. The air seemed to be stained with the sweet smell of cake. After a long time, Yi Chen straightened up. He said in a hoarse voice, ¡°Since I¡¯ve spent a day in thepany, I¡¯ll go take a bath first.¡± Yu Yan only knew how to nod in reply. ¡°Okay¡­¡± ¡°Take it together?¡± Yu Yan was stunned. He couldn¡¯t even bear to think of that kind of scene. ¡°Ah? That-that¡¯s okay ba, I¡¯ll wait for you to finish washing first before washing up¡­¡± Yu Yan packed the cake. As soon as he was ready to put it into the refrigerator, he heard the sound of the bedroom door being opened. He nced sideways and saw Yi Chen leaning against the door. He was wearing a gray bathrobe with the belt tied loosely, and the lines of his well-proportioned and attractive muscles could be savored at a nce. He could even see the pair of underwear he was wearing below!! Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and asked him, ¡°Really not taking it together?¡± Who could stand up to that ah? This was the first time that Yu Yan thought that the trope of nosebleeds in TV series wasn¡¯t exaggerated at all. He suspected that if he continued to watch him for a few more minutes, his nose would also start spurting out blood. Yu Yan¡¯s face waspletely red. He gritted his teeth, his voice sounded nothing like his own, while his heart fluttered constantly, and he acquiesced, ¡°Then¡ªthen how about I¡­ I¡¯ll get a towel, and I¡¯ll¡­¡± Yi Chen¡¯s current mood was as though he had just spent three long months vacationing¡ª Rxed, easy, andfortable. Seeing the other party¡¯s flustered appearance, there was a smile in his voice as he slowly gathered up his bathrobe. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous, I¡¯m teasing you. We¡¯ll wash separately.¡± Yu Yan paused in his actions. ¡°¡­ah.¡± ¡°The bathroom in my bedroom is too narrow.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid you wouldn¡¯t feelfortable.¡± ¡ª Yu Yan didn¡¯t bring his milk shower gel with him this time. Standing in the bathroom, he had a lot of regrets. He should have rushed to take a bath before Yi Chen. Now, the bathroom was full of the scent of the other person¡¯s Gi cologne, and he felt ashamed to even simply take off his clothes. After taking a bath, Yu Yan walked out of the bathroom to see Yi Chen sitting on the side of the bed, just the way he had done when he had been in his house, waiting for him. ¡°Yanyan.¡± Yi Chen, with a book in his hand, saw hime out and called out to him, ¡°Finished washing? Come here.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I¡¯lleter, I¡­ my hair is still wet.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I asked you toe here.¡± Yi Chen took out a hair dryer from the bedside table. ¡°I¡¯ll dry it for you.¡± Yu Yan hurriedly said, ¡°No need, it¡¯ll dry soon¡­¡± Yi Chen¡¯s tone was very natural as he said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to wait that long.¡± Yi Chen wasn¡¯t very good at blow-drying his hair. Although his posture was clumsy, he was also very careful, so that he wouldn¡¯t burn him. They were both sitting at the edge of the bed at this time. Yu Yan was sitting in front, holding the book Yi Chen had just been reading, and did not dare to move even a muscle. As the gusts of hot air blew and blew, Yu Yan felt the back of his neck being gently kissed. At that moment, he felt his back go numb, and he bent his waist unconsciously and quietly called out, ¡°Yi Chen?¡± ¡°En.¡± The young man¡¯s hair gradually softened in his hands. Yi Chen turned off the hair dryer and kissed him again, this time, kissing the tip of his ear. ¡°Your neck is very beautiful.¡± Pale and straight. The tips of Yu Yan¡¯s ears were so red. ¡°How could that be¡­ I¡¯ve been sitting in front of theputer for a long time and my posture is very ugly.¡± ¡°No, you sit well and look good.¡± Yi Chen was telling the truth when he said, ¡°You¡¯re just too thin.¡± Yu Yan was just about to exin, but suddenly he froze and couldn¡¯t say anything. Yi Chen¡¯s hand poked into the hem of his pajamas. Yu Yan¡¯s mind had filled with many possibilities when he had been taking a bath, but he hadn¡¯t expected such a position at all in the end. Yi Chen held him firmly in his arms from behind him. He couldn¡¯t see Yi Chen¡¯s expression; he could only hear his voice or feel his movements. ¡°Here, you¡¯re a whole size thinner than me.¡± ¡°Here too.¡± Yu Yan instinctively raised his hand to press down on Yi Chen¡¯s hand, but the other side suddenly turned over his palm, and the two people¡¯s fingers entwined. Yu Yan sort of couldn¡¯t stand it. When he opened his mouth, his voice sounded as if he was begging for mercy, but what he said was, ¡°Yi Chen¡­ Can we sit face to face? Don¡¯t talk into my ear.¡± Yi Chen was also a little ufortable. He subtly shifted back a bit, in case his own physiological reaction frightened Yu Yan. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll help you.¡± Yu Yan heard his voice, and at first he was stunned, but then his eyes cleared of all doubts. ¡°¡­Help me? Then what about yourself?¡± Yi Chen¡¯s voice was hoarse as he replied, ¡°I¡¯ll take care of itter.¡± ¡°No.¡± Yu Yan grabbed his hand. ¡°Let¡¯s do it together ah¡­didn¡¯t we already make all the preparations?¡± Yi Chen was silent for a long time, and his tone was full of patient forbearance when he spoke next, ¡°After a whole day of flying, you should be tried. When you¡¯re done resting¡ª¡± This was the first time Yu Yan distinctly felt the age gap between himself and Yi Chen. His grip grew stronger and he tightly grasped the back of Yi Chen¡¯s hand, speaking hurriedly, without paying much attention to his words, ¡°I¡¯ve only been on a ne for less than two hours! I¡¯m not tired at all! Or is it that after working for a day, you have no-no strength? Then I can work harder¡­¡± Yi Chen: ¡°¡­¡± Having said this, Yu Yan now felt embarrassed. Yi Chen felt as if he was about tobust after hearing that. ¡­¡­ How did he want to ¡°work harder¡±? The bedroom suddenly fell into silence. Yu Yan firmed up his resolve and said, ¡°But if you¡¯re really¡­ tired, then it¡¯s okay if we do it next time.¡± Yi Chen pinched his ear and said, ¡°¡­I¡¯m afraid that if I don¡¯t do it well, it will hurt you. How can you keep trying to encourage me?¡± Yu Yan looked at him with a magnanimous expression and replied, ¡°But I¡¯m not afraid of pain ah.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Yu Yan said this, then felt that he had been a bit too hasty, which turned into slight embarrassment when he didn¡¯t get a response. ¡°I just really want to be with you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, then we¡¯ll just do it next time ba. I¡­I¡¯ll just go to the bathroom and do it myself.¡± He said that and was about to stand up when, unexpectedly, the arms around his waist suddenly tightened. Before he could even react, he was directly carried to the bed by the person behind him. Atst, their gazes met each other. ¡°I¡¯ll be gentler.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple rolled, and his voice was hoarse. Because he had been holding himself back just now, his eyes also carried a trace of redness. He lowered his head and kissed Yu Yan. ¡°If you don¡¯t feel good¡­ endure it for a bit.¡± ¡­¡­ After a moment, Yu Yan tried tomunicate with the other party, ¡°Yi Chen¡­ Shall we take a break first?¡± ¡°No way.¡± Yi Chen kissed him on the cheek. Yu Yan¡¯s brain worked quickly as he exined, ¡°No it¡¯s¡­ the stuff I bought from the supermarket is still outside. I didn¡¯t bring it in¡­¡± The nightstand was opened. Yi Chen took out several items from the bottom drawer. ¡°No need.¡± He unwrapped the package and said simply, ¡°I have better ones here.¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± Yu Yan: ¡°?¡± ¡ª Juurensha: *fans self* you know despite how vague it is, is it a little hot in here? Hahaha, Yanyan is so eager to get it on with Yi Chen. (I sure hope the cake gets eaten by someone eventually¡­.)

Edited by Noks Yu Yan had seen so many video clips featuring him and Yi Chen, and had also read all kinds of H novels with the two of them starring as the protagonists. He had thought that he had seen every possible kind of scene that could ur. But in none of those H novels was it written that Yi Chen would ster himself right by his ear and bewitch him with a half-hoarse and deep voice¡ª ¡°Help me put it on.¡± He almost ascended right then and there. It was painful at first. Yu Yan buried his face in the pillow and suspected whether he would end up tearing the pillow apart with his hands or not. Yi Chen heard the groans Yu Yan couldn¡¯t help but let out, and felt distressed. ¡°Does it hurt? Then let¡¯s wait first¡­¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t cry out that it hurt because he was afraid that Yi Chen would stop if he did so. If they stopped when they had already gotten to this point, then it would be like abandoning all the progress they had made. So instead, he lied while crying out, ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt, it feels very good.¡± Yi Chen knew he was lying to him. But this kind of a cry was too seductive, and he lowered his head to give him a kiss. ¡°Not stopping now. You endure it, and I¡¯ll admit my wrongs to youter.¡± ¡­¡­ Yi Chen was as gentle as possible, but in the end, Yu Yan still sported some marks on his body. He had held back before, but as they had progressed, his hands had unconsciously gripped harder, and since Yu Yan¡¯s waist was so skinny, there were now some light blue marks there. He licked at one of the marks, and helped Yu Yan clean up. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I hurt you.¡± Yu Yan was so tired he couldn¡¯t even move. He felt that his whole body was aching, and he didn¡¯t even want to raise his hand. However, upon hearing this, he gathered up his energy and shook Yi Chen¡¯s fingers a bit. ¡°Doesn¡¯t hurt, feels good.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s lips curled as he continued tidying up with his hands. ¡°Really,¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I¡¯m not deceiving you. At first it did hurt a bit, but after¡­¡± His face went red, but he said frankly, ¡°It¡ªit just felt really good.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s heart had gone so soft that he nearly wanted to force him to do it again. ¡­¡­ Yi Chen helped Yu Yan clean up and went to the bathroom, preparing to wash himself. A different kind of smell lingered in the room. Although Yu Yan was tired, he couldn¡¯t go to sleep at all. He endured the aches and pains in his muscles and turned around. As he listened to the sound of water in the bathroom, he couldn¡¯t stop smiling at all. Only after turning around did he discover that his cellphone, which was lying on the table, had lit up. He picked it up, nced at the screen, and saw that someone in the 1YanTang group chat had @ him. When Tuantuan and the others had seen Yu Yan¡¯s poprity score surpass Good Show¡¯s, they had sent congrattory messages in the group chat. Yu Yan checked the timestamp; the messages were already two hours old. He hurried to open the chat box and then replied with a few thanks. It was already midnight. The two girls, Tuantuan and Lulu, didn¡¯t have the habit of staying upte. Only the other male anchor in the group, Sheepy, was still awake. Sheepy: Bro, why are you chatting sote? They¡¯re all asleep. Yu Yan: I was busy before¡­ Are you still livestreaming? Sheepy: No, just ended the stream. [picture] I¡¯m having a midnight snack. Yu Yan: [drooling.JPG] Yu Yan wasn¡¯t thinking of anything at first, but once he saw the seafood barbecue in the picture, he couldn¡¯t help but gulp and swallow his saliva a few times. The exercise just now had consumed too much energy. That half a bowl of noodles with vegetables and meat he had had for dinner had already beenpletely digested. He looked at the time. It was the middle of the night, so he would have to wait a really long time for takeout, and he was toozy to cook something himself¡­ He suddenly thought of the cake in the refrigerator. The cake was too sweet to be a midnight snack. He hesitated for a bit before going to WeChat and opening up Yi Ran¡¯s chat box. Yu Yan: Yi Ran, are you asleep? The other side replied extremely quickly. Yi Ran: Nah, I haven¡¯te home yet. What¡¯s the matter? Yu Yan: Nothing much, just letting you know that there¡¯s a cake in the fridge. You can eat some if you get hungry. There¡¯s a lot left. Yi Ran: ??? Yi Ran: !! Yi Ran: WTF! Sister-inw, have youe to Jincheng?! Are you in my Ge¡¯s house? Yu Yan: ¡­Sister-inw? Yi Ran: Yeah. Don¡¯t be shy, I know all about it. Yi Ran: I¡¯m just saying. Heh, I even went to your livestream before wanting to throw some stuff at you. I actually have a pretty big bnce on the tform, and StarTV also sends me a big pile of random gifts every month. I¡¯ve been saving up for a long time to give it all to you, but only found that you hadn¡¯t started livestreaming at that time. Yu Yan: Don¡¯t waste money. Half of the money spent on the gift gets deducted and goes towards the tform, only half of ites to me. Yi Ran: Then that counts as giving it to my Ge too. That¡¯s fine, I¡¯m clear that however the money goes round and round, it¡¯s still within our family. Yu Yan: ¡­ Yu Yan: !!!! Yeah, why hadn¡¯t he thought of this before? Last week, he had half jokingly said that he had to support his family. Yet, as a result, Yi Chen had directly tossed arge number of gifts to him and had straightaway climbed onto the tform¡¯s annual list of local tyrants. He had originally been extremely distressed about the matter. Now that he thought about it¡­ the situation seemed to be eptable. Yi Ran: I¡¯ll be home soon. So sister-inw, do you really like cake? I know an especially delicious cake shop, I¡¯ll go buy some for you tomorrow? Yu Yan: No need, cake is too sweet. I don¡¯t eat it too often. Yi Ran: Then what are you doing buying cake and bringing it all the way over here? My Ge also doesn¡¯t like eating sweet things ah. Yu Yan: Ah. Because yesterday was Yi Chen¡¯s birthday, so I bought it to celebrate it with him. Yi Ran: Ah? Yi Ran: ??? Yu Yan: ¡­.what? Yi Ran: No, I just checked the calendar, and it wasn¡¯t my Ge¡¯s birthday yesterday! Now it became Yu Yan¡¯s turn to send over a bunch of question marks. Yi Ran: My Ge¡¯s birthday is in either May or June? You wait, I¡¯ll go check. Yu Yan: No ah, Baidu Encyclopedia said it was yesterday¡­ Yi Ran: Hahahahaha. Sister-inw, you¡¯re too cute ba. How can you take that thing seriously ah, 99 percent of whatever¡¯s written there is fake. Who would post his birth date directly on the Inte ah? Yu Yan: ¡­.? Yi Ran: Wait a minute. Up until now, you still thought yesterday was my Ge¡¯s birthday? Why didn¡¯t my Ge tell you? Yu Yan: ¡­ Yu Yan: No. Only after taking another shower did Yi Chen feel at ease. He casually put on a pair of pajamas. When he came out, he saw Yu Yan lying on his stomach, propped up on his arms as he yed with his cellphone. ¡°Howe you haven¡¯t slept yet?¡± Yi Chen lifted the quilt and got into bed. He turned sideways to face him. ¡°Aren¡¯t you tired?¡± Yu Yan locked the screen of his cellphone, and couldn¡¯t help but step on Yi Chen¡¯s thigh with his feet. He didn¡¯t use much force and asked, ¡°¡­how could you deceive people ah?¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and evenughed as he got stepped on. ¡°What did I deceive you about?¡± ¡°You¡¯re evenughing.¡± After having found out that he had made such a big mistake, Yu Yan was nearly embarrassed to death. ¡°Yesterday was obviously not your birthday, why didn¡¯t you say anything?¡± He had taken it upon himself to buy a cake, light up candles, and even give a present! Thank god he hadn¡¯t sung the birthday song, or he would bepletely mortified with himself right now!! ¡°¡­¡­¡± Yi Chen had no choice but to answer, ¡°Found out so quickly? Who told you that?¡± Yu Yan actually wasn¡¯t angry, he just thought it was too embarrassing. He had very excitedly prepared all this for such a long time, all the while thinking that he would surprise the other party, but hadn¡¯t expected that he would actually have actually gotten the date wrong. Baidu was too unreliable. If he had known this earlier, he should have asked Yi Ran. He didn¡¯t answer Yi Chen¡¯s question. He turned over with great difficulty and pulled the quilt over his face. ¡°I¡¯m sleeping now.¡± Yi Chen went up and hugged him along with the quilt. ¡°Angry?¡± ¡°Not angry.¡± Yu Yan hummed, ¡°It¡¯s just a bit embarrassing. You must have beenughing at me inwardly yesterday.¡± ¡°No, how can Iugh at you?¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Yesterday was my birthday; I can¡¯t celebrate it ahead of time?¡± Yu Yan stifled hisugh and asked him, ¡°Celebrating your birthday five months in advance?¡± Yi Chen thought for a moment, then said, ¡°Then just count it as me having taken advantage of you and getting a watch from you for free. I¡¯ll return a birthday celebration to you tomorrow too.¡± Yu Yan hadn¡¯t even been angry originally, and after hearing this, couldn¡¯t helpughing. ¡°What kind of words are these ah?¡± Yi Chen sighed. ¡°Then.. .I didn¡¯t celebrate my birthdayst year, so you can just count it as you helping me make it up.¡± At this, Yu Yan showed some movement. He turned over a little, but because he ended up pulling his neck a bit too hard as he turned, he let out a little ¡°hiss¡±. Yi Chen was still holding onto him. Now, after only turning his head, both of their faces were close enough to touch. Yu Yan asked him, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you celebrate itst year?¡± ¡°Busy, and I haven¡¯t celebrated it in a long time.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Also, I¡¯m already this old, and who really celebrates birthdays anymore?¡± Yu Yan had originally also thought that birthdays were just a small matter. But after he started dating, it took on a different meaning. He looked up and kissed Yi Chen. ¡°All those years you didn¡¯t celebrate it ah, I¡¯ll make it up to you.¡± Yi Chen was stunned by the kiss, and his voice was a little lighter as he asked, ¡°Make it up to me?¡± Yu Yan let out an ¡°en,¡± and then added, ¡°Yes ah.¡± The corners of Yi Chen¡¯s mouth turned up. ¡°One gift itself is so expensive, don¡¯t you still need to support your family?¡± ¡°I was joking about that.¡± Yu Yan said seriously, ¡°I just can¡¯t give you such expensive gifts every time¡­ Cakes can be ordered every day though.¡± Yi Chen listened to him without interrupting, the expression in his eyes growing gentler with each word. ¡°¡­¡­ And there¡¯s aputer here, so it¡¯s fine if I don¡¯t go back for the time being.¡± Yu Yan said this and then asked him, ¡°Is that okay?¡± Yi Chen sighed and hugged him a bit tighter. ¡°Don¡¯t make a fuss, it¡¯s not like I¡¯m a little kid, I don¡¯t need to celebrate my birthday.¡± He said, ¡°Can you stay in Jincheng a bit longer this time?¡± Yu Yan had been talking for a long time, and his eyelids were a little heavy by now. He yawned and answered, ¡°But I may need to meet with thewyer a few more times¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s fine, just use video-calls.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°If there really are any documents you need to sign, you fly out that day, and thene back on the same day. I¡¯ll buy the ticket for you and will also take you to the airport¡­ I can even apany you when you go back there.¡± Yu Yan closed his eyes and immersed himself in sleep. Upon hearing thest part, he could not helpughing. ¡°Okay.¡± ¡ª In fact, the party over at Mo Nancheng¡¯s had ended a long time ago, but Yi Ran had managed, with great difficulty, to borrow the fastest sports car from his Ge¡¯s garage, so of course, he had to stroll around for a while. He made some ns with a few friends and went around to several nightclubs with them. After going through another one, a friend asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter with you? Usually, you¡¯re always yelling that there¡¯s a guard at the entrance at home, and every time before ten o¡¯clock, you run home like there¡¯s a ghost chasing after your ass. It¡¯s almost three o¡¯clock today, and you¡¯re still hanging out with us?¡± Yi Ran clicked his tongue and said, ¡°What do you know, my Ge is more terrifying than any ghost.¡± ¡°Then you¡¯re still not going back now?¡± Yi Ran said, ¡°No, it all depends on the situation ah. If I go back early today, my Ge will most probably hack me to pieces.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± asked his friend. Yi Ran lifted his eyebrows, winked, and let out a ¡°hehe¡± as he said, ¡°My sister-inw has made a rare trip here to see my Ge. How can I disturb them¡­¡± Arriving at a great understanding, his friend nodded his head with a clear smile. Yi Ran then said, ¡°How can I disturb them while they¡¯re ying games?¡± Friend: ¡°¡­¡± Friend: ¡°?¡± Yi Ran went crazy outside until 4 a.m., and only after that did he embark on the journey home. He parked the car, opened the door to the house quietly, and with slow and careful steps, prepared to go back to his room. If he woke up his Ge by ident whileing back home sote, then he could only watch as his belongings were packed up and he was driven out of the house. When he entered the living room, he discovered something on the bookshelf of the living room, something which shone silver in the darkness. He turned on the light and walked over to take a look. He sucked in a breath of cool air¡ª¡ª Wasn¡¯t this some big brand¡¯s fucking limited-edition wristwatch? This was the exact style that he had begged his dad to get for him for half a month to no avail! Now, it had just been randomly ced on a bookshelf! That damned rich person didn¡¯t eveny a piece of paper under it!!! Yi Ran was so distressed that he picked up the watch to find a good ce to put it. He nced up inadvertently and saw a stic bag at the top of the shelf. The bag was very small, and had the logo of a supermarket printed on it. He thought it was an empty bag and took it down. However, as he was picking it up, he realized that there was still some weight in it, and the things inside it fell down and plopped onto the ground. Yi Ran looked down and immediately, his eyes widened inplete and utter shock¡ª¡ª It was actually thetest X-thing, apanied with a small box that had an unknown kind of packaging. He fell into a daze and picked the things up from the ground subconsciously. ¡­¡­ How could there be such a thing in his Ge¡¯s house?! He looked around and happened to see the cake box beside the chair. At that moment, he sucked in a long breath, and his mental faculties were filled with such rich imagination that he could write a whole diary on it¡ª¡ª Ah, so it turned out they weren¡¯t ying games tonight. Hiss¡­ My Ge has finally be a real man. Tch, no wonder he didn¡¯t even care about properly putting away such an expensive watch. No, but wasn¡¯t sister-inw not an adult yet ah? He looked pretty young ah? Wait, holy crap, if he wasn¡¯t an adult, then wasn¡¯t his Ge now a criminal??? Yi Ran¡¯s expression became soplicated, and his mind was so full of thoughts that even after he heard some noiseing from beside him, it took him a really long time to turn his head and look in that direction. He saw his Ge standing at the door of the bedroom with a ss of water in his hand, the buttons of his pajamas unfastened, and his neck still marked with red marks, looking at him expressionlessly¡­ And at what he had in his hands. Yi Ran held the expensive watch in his left hand and the-couldn¡¯t-be-seen-in-politepany ¡°daily necessities¡± in his right hand. His heart turned deste, and he felt that he was about to be killed and silenced. ¡ª Juurensha: RIP Yi Ran, it was nice knowing you hahahaha. But anyway, I added in the raws from the published version of the book (if there¡¯s any mistrantions, I apologize! It¡¯s all in traditional! I¡¯m trying my best with a phone and a scanner and my own limited knowledge!), basically detailing their first time. It¡¯s¡­.not a great first time (Yanyan! Just tell Yi Chen it hurts! He would have prepped you better if he had known! Also felt it was kind of OOC for Yi Chen not to stop when he can tell Yanyan is in pain¡­) Thankfully, their next time is better (and was the only one I remembered since the original version of this was vague, and I actually wasn¡¯t sure if they went all the way or not originally here) Noks: Aw man, I truly absolutely adore Yi Ran. His misunderstandings make for such good humour! Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! And there¡¯s an audio drama for PUBG that came out! It¡¯s more condensed than the novel, but it¡¯s fun! And check out our fanart/fanfic page! Chapter 97 - Not single. Chapter 97 - Not single. Edited by Noks He had a good life, so how had he managed to turn today into a hellish one? The current situation was almost like storming past a barrier in a horror game to discover two roads behind it¡ªwhere one road would ensure that he lives and the other road leading him to death. How could he end thiste night meeting peacefully and naturally? Because of his greedy desire to continue living, the gears in Yi Ran¡¯s head churned quickly, even turning faster than they had done during his college entrance examination. ¡°Ge¡­¡± Yet, as soon as he uttered a word, Yi Chen was the one who moved first. Yi Ran was startled, and stepped back reflexively, then watched with his own eyes as his Ge walked towards him, and¡­ took away the items inappropriate for children from his right hand, before brushing past him and walking into the kitchen. Yi Chen¡¯s voice was light and a little hoarse as he reprimanded, ¡°Next time youe back sote, you can sleep in the garage.¡± ¡°Oh¡­.okay.¡± Yi Ran was a little confused, and so could only follow up with those words. From the kitchen came the sound of water, and after a while, the smell of coffee started to infuse into the air. That¡¯s it? Yi Ran couldn¡¯t believe it. Just a few moments ago, he had obviously been scared until his heart and all of his insides were trembling furiously, but now, he had easily escaped from disaster and could only drift away from the scene. He stood frozen in his spot for a while, then cheaply swished towards the kitchen door again. Then he boldly asked, ¡°Ge, did Yu Yan arrive ah?¡± Yi Chen even turned his head around to look at him as he continued to prepare coffee. He hade back from the office today in too much of a hurry, and there were still many documents that he still hadn¡¯t processed. Since he couldn¡¯t sleep right now, he was nning to look at a few on hisputer. ¡°En, why?¡± ¡°Nothing, he sent me a message saying that yesterday was your birthday.¡± Yi Ran opened the refrigerator and looked inside it. There was a big cake in there, and no matter how he looked at it, it didn¡¯t look like much of it had been eaten at all. ¡°Ge, you didn¡¯t even let him know the truth¡­ and then the two of you just cut the cake?¡± Yi Chen finally looked back at him and said, ¡°It was you who told him that yesterday wasn¡¯t my birthday?¡± ¡°Yeah¡­¡± Yi Ran paused and said, ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Ge, shouldn¡¯t I have said that ah? I just sent the reply over instinctively, you won¡¯t me me ba?¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t answer the question, instead posing one of his own, ¡°How do you know when my birthday is?¡± ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I know, don¡¯t I send you a present every year?¡± ¡°A present?¡± Yi Chen was a bit surprised. ¡°Where did you send it to?¡± ¡°Yourpany ah. In the month of May for thest two years, since I took advantage of Labor Day to travel ma, so I asked someone to buy something and send it to yourpany. I was afraid you wouldn¡¯t be at home, so it wouldn¡¯t be convenient for you to sign for it¡­ Wait, it couldn¡¯t be that you didn¡¯t get it ba?¡± Yi Ran¡¯s eyes went wide as he added, ¡°Embezzled by the front desk?¡± Of course, the front desk wouldn¡¯t dare to embezzle anything. After he mentioned this, Yi Chen remembered. For the past two years, there really had been gifts sent to his office. There hadn¡¯t been a name on them, and calling the number on the package just led to the vendor. Because of their questionable origin, he hadn¡¯t even opened them and had just randomly left them in his office. ¡°No.¡± He snapped out of it and said, ¡°I received them.¡± Yi Ran was relieved. He took a fork, ate two bites of the cake, then closed the refrigerator. ¡°Then Ge, I¡¯m going to sleep. Will you go to thepany tomorrow? Shall I apany Yanyan to have breakfast?¡± ¡°No need.¡± Yi Ran let out an ¡°oh¡± and was about to leave the kitchen. ¡°Wait.¡± Yi Chen called out and stopped him. He stirred the coffee with a spoon and said, ¡°Put down the watch in your hand.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Yi Ran couldn¡¯t help but give the watch a few more looks. He felt grieved as he put it down on the table. ¡°I had someone pick up the new models for the season.¡± Yi Chen picked up the watch and walked out of the kitchen holding the cup. ¡°When the timees, you can contact Assistant Ma.¡± Yi Ran was stunned. ¡°Ah?¡± ¡°Ge? What do you mean?¡± Yi Ran stared and hurriedly ran after him. ¡°Ge, is it what I¡¯m thinking? Ge! You¡¯re my blood cousin! Ge!!¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°If you speak any louder, don¡¯t ask for anything.¡± Yi Ran immediately closed his mouth and blew several kisses over at Yi Chen. Yi Chen ignored him. He was afraid to disturb the person in the room, so he closed the door as soon as he reentered the room and decisively locked it. ¡ª¡ª When Yu Yan woke up, he heard the sound of someone typing on a keyboard. He could tell that the other party was trying to control the volume as much as possible, but since he was more sensitive to this kind of sound, so as soon as it urred, he could hear it. As soon as he moved a bit, the keystrokes stopped. Then, a big hand reached out to cover his neck and rubbed it twice. ¡°Woke up? Are you ufortable anywhere?¡± ¡°No.¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t open his eyes. Their legs had been right next to each other for a long time, and it was very warm. ¡°Not awake, I still want to sleep for a bit¡­¡± Yi Chen went along with him and said, ¡°Okay.¡± No more sound came from next to him anymore. Yi Chen seemed to be afraid of waking him up and thus didn¡¯t touch the keyboard again, instead just using his fingers to scroll through the interface. Now that it had quietened down, Yu Yan actually couldn¡¯t sleep anymore. With half squinting eyes, he looked up and asked, ¡°Why did you get up so early?¡± ¡°Habit.¡± The outer case of theptop was a little cold, and out of fear that it would identally rub against the person next to him, Yi Chen simply closed theptop and put it aside. ¡°It¡¯s still early, sleep some more.¡± Yu Yan had just been about to say something when he heard Yi Chen¡¯sputer suddenly go ding. ¡°Yi Chen, yourputer is ringing.¡± Yu Yan snuggled deeper into the quilt and closed his eyes again. ¡°Seems to be a message prompt.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it,¡± Yi Chen said. It seemed as if the other side had almost sensed something, and so theputer ding-ed again. Yu Yan said, ¡°Take a look ba. Maybe there¡¯s something urgent?¡± Yi Chen listened to him and turned on theputer again. He had originally thought it would be a message rted topany matters, but didn¡¯t expect it to actually be a message sent over by his mom. ¡°Your father and I have some small things to take care of. Maybe we can return to China before the Spring Festival.¡± ¡°How about spending New Years together ba?¡± ¡°This is¡­Your mom?¡± Yu Yan blurted out the question, only trying to exin after, ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to peek. I nced over and identally saw it.¡± Yi Chen let out an ¡°en¡±, and clicked on the keyboard to reply¡ª No need. Before those two words could be sent out, Yu Yan grabbed his hand. Yu Yan had woken up a lot and asked him, ¡°Why are you refusing ah?¡± Yi Chen gave him a sideways nce and answered, ¡°Didn¡¯t we say that we would celebrate the New Year together this year?¡± ¡°That was when I thought your parents couldn¡¯t get back to China in time¡­¡± Yu Yan¡¯s voice was a little hoarse, and he coughed as he said, ¡°Spring Festival is of course best spent with family.¡± Yi Chen frowned unconsciously. ¡°Then what about you?¡± ¡°Me?¡± Yu Yan was stunned. ¡°I¡¯ll be fine, New Year¡¯s celebrations aren¡¯t that long¡­We can see each other as well during the new year.¡± ¡°No need, we¡¯ll stick to our original n and spend New Years together.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, they won¡¯t say anything.¡± ¡°Why not?¡± Yu Yan felt this was strange. There weren¡¯t many matters that would make his parents want to toss aside their overseas activities ande back home temporarily. Remembering the news he had heard in the officest time, Yi Chen looked away. ¡°Talk about itter ba.¡± He answered vaguely, before raising his hand and pinching Yu Yan¡¯s earlobe. ¡°Are you still going to sleep? If you¡¯re not sleeping, then get up and have breakfast.¡± ¡°Have breakfast?¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Don¡¯t you need to go to work?¡± ¡°I will, but I¡¯ll eat first and then go.¡± Yi Chen lowered his head and kissed the tip of Yu Yan¡¯s nose. If it hadn¡¯t been that there were a lot of things for him to handle at the end of the year, he would go to the extent of not wanting to go to work today. Yu Yan had originally wanted to stay in bed for a while more, but after hearing this, he immediately sat up. Yu Yan had arrived rather suddenly, but Yi Chen had already prepared his toiletries. It was aplete set, and even contained a new electric razor. Since there was a big meeting that was to be held in the morning, which he couldn¡¯t bete for, Yi Chen had called the cleaning auntie toe early. He had originally wanted her to wait, so that when Yu Yan woke up, she could cook him some food. Yet, as a result, they got up at the same time, and had just enough time left to have breakfast together. Who knew that just as Yu Yan would sit down and take a sip of milk, the sound of an engine woulde from outside. Yi Chen¡¯s driver had arrived. Yi Chen stood up, took a napkin and wiped his mouth as he said, ¡°Theputer room is still that one. Call me if you need anything.¡± ¡°You¡¯re leaving just like that? You haven¡¯t even eaten much yet.¡± Yu Yan looked at the food on the table. ¡°Otherwise, take some bread to thepany ba. I¡¯ll put a loaf in a stic bag for you?¡± The driver heard this as soon as he entered the house. He had a good rtionship with Yi Chen¡¯s life assistant. During the middle of the night yesterday, the other party had specificallye to warn him repeatedly, saying that a distinguished guest was currently at the boss¡¯ house, and letting him know that he had to be careful not to offend him. The driver had originally wondered what person would be so precious that his boss would receive him personally. Yet, in the end, this distinguished guest was letting President Yi¡­ pack up some bread to take with him to thepany?? Yi Chen looked at the bread and nodded. ¡°Okay.¡± The driver: ¡°¡­¡± No sooner had Yi Chen left than Yi Ran came out of his room. Seeing the person sitting in the living room, his drowsinesspletely disappeared. ¡°Sister-inw, you¡¯re up this early?¡± Yu Yan turned his head when he heard these words. After clearly seeing him, he greeted him, then said, ¡°¡­Don¡¯t call me sister-inw, it¡¯s not like I¡¯m a woman.¡± ¡°Anyway, it all means the same thing ma.¡± Yi Ran sat down, picked up a piece of bread, and nibbled at it as he asked ¡°Where¡¯s my Ge?¡± ¡°Went to thepany.¡± ¡°Yesterday, you guys just¡­¡± Speaking until here, Yi Ran paused and changed what he had been about to say, ¡°¡­Just met, and he still went to thepany today?¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t notice his strangeness and answered naturally, ¡°Of course, work is important.¡± ¡°¡­¡­ Alright ba. Then what are you nning on doing today? How about I take you out to have some fun ba. There are no scenic spots to see, so how about I take you to other ces to look around?¡± ¡°No way.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I have to livestream.¡± Having said that meant that he was bound to carry a burden along with him on today¡¯s chicken-eating trip. At two o¡¯clock in the afternoon, Yu Yan started livestreaming right on time. As soon as his stream followers entered the stream, they saw a teammate already standing there in the game interface. Of course, that wasn¡¯t the main point. [Wait, how did the livestream background be Boss 1¡¯s house? Did myputer freeze? Or is this live yback??] [I¡¯m also seeing that here¡­] ¡°Not live yback.¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t n to exin anything. After greeting everyone, he directly started the match. Yi Ran was sitting next to him, using aptop. ¡°Yanyan, where are we jumping to ah?¡± Yu Yan marked a point above Pochinki. ¡°Go to my home.¡± [Who¡¯s next to the anchor ah?] [This ID seems to belong to another boss of the stream, which means that Xiao Yan is in Boss 1¡¯s house with another boss right now? Holy crap, how is this such a mess¡­] Yu Yan had justmunicated to his teammates to jump Pochinki when he heard a rude male voice¡ª ¡°All the people on the ne listen up¡ªJump grandly to Pochinki; if you don¡¯t jump to Pochinki, you¡¯re not a man. If you have the ability, you guys can jump to Pochinki and kill me, Lu Yuanheng! Or else you¡¯re all cowardly dogs!¡± Another person said, ¡°Wtf bro, you¡¯re very arrogant ah?¡± This person was obviously ying a prank on his friends. He didn¡¯t hold back hisughter as he shouted, ¡°Yes, I, Lu Yuanheng, am just that arrogant!¡± Yu Yan murmured to himself that this wasn¡¯t good. As soon as he wanted tomunicate with his teammates to change the spot they were going to jump to, he saw that his teammates had already taken the lead in parachuting out. Yu Yan couldn¡¯t do anything but also follow them in parachuting down. He manipted his mouse to look around, and when the surrounding scene became clear, the barrage immediately filled with piles of 666 and question marks. They just saw that the sky was full of people, everyone falling down just like the way dumplings fell and crowded into a pot during a New Year¡¯s Eve meal. Their numbers were shocking. ¡°¡­¡­ Young people nowadays are just too impetuous, getting excited so easily,¡± the 19-year old said emotionally. In this match, Yu Yan¡¯s halo of carrying girls was still out in full force, and the No. 3 in the team was a little girl with a soft voice. ¡°God ah, so many people, what to do ya?¡± No. 3 said, ¡°There¡¯s gunfire everywhere around me.¡± Yi Ran heard those words and immediately turned on his mic. ¡°It¡¯s okay, little Meimei! No.1 is very powerful. He said that Pochinki is his home¡­¡± ¡°Run!¡± Yu Yan turned on his mic and asked, ¡°Why are you guys still in Pochinki?!¡± Yi Ran was stunned, and he opened up the map¡ª¡ª No. 1¡¯s icon was already thousands of miles away from them, heading towards the wild area. Yi Ran said, ¡°WTF? Didn¡¯t you say that this is your home? You don¡¯t even want your fucking home anymore??¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°Men have to make a career outside.¡± Yi Ran: ¡°¡­¡± No. 3 saw this and ran off as fast as a thief. Yi Ran and No. 4 couldn¡¯t run because they had flown andnded in the center of Pochinki. They were sandwiched between two teams and died glorious deaths. In the end, only Yu Yan and the No. 3 little Jiejie survived. Yi Ran felt depressed about turning into a lootbox uponnding in the very first match. He directly clicked to watch Yu Yan¡¯s battle, before also opening the livestream room to watch the stream followers chat. Fortunately, the surrounding wild areas were rtively rich, so Yu Yan¡¯s equipment after searching through several rooms could also count as being eptable now. At this time, No. 3 suddenly turned on her mic and said, ¡°It¡¯s over ya, I only have a shotgun here, and I don¡¯t know how to use it. Little Gege, do you have an extra gun over there?¡± Yu Yan opened up his inventory and took a look. ¡°Do you want a pistol?¡± [???] [You have an M4 and an AKM, what¡¯s wrong with giving one to the Meizi!!] No. 3 was silent for a moment. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll just use the shotgun.¡± ¡°If I gave it to her, then I wouldn¡¯t be able to fight anymore. I only have 30 rounds each of the 556 and 762 bullets, which is not enough.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s face waspletely straight as he spoke, ¡°I have to be responsible for the quiz game set up for you guys.¡± After a while¡ª ¡°Little Gege, do you have any medicine?¡± No. 3 finished saying that, then quickly added, ¡°Bandages are also okay. I only have five bandages, and I¡¯m not at ease¡­¡± Yu Yan looked at ten bandages he was carrying. ¡°I don¡¯t have much either.¡± He was easy-going and encouraged his teammate, ¡°It¡¯s okay, believe in yourself, and you will definitely find some.¡± No. 3: ¡°¡­.¡± [¡­.I give up.] [Yanyan, do you know why you¡¯re so handsome but still a single dog?? Do you know that you just missed getting that little Jiejie¡¯s WeChat with those five bandages!!] [Son, you can¡¯t do this! Mama is worried about your future ah!!] Yi Ran saw this, snorted, and directly turned on the in-game mic. ¡°What are you guys saying? Who told you that Xiao Yan is single?¡± The barrage was silent for a moment¡ª Then it exploded. Yu Yan¡¯s poprity was quite high, so naturally, he had fans of all kinds, which included skills-based fans, mama fans, and a small number of female girlfriend fans who said they wanted to wait for him to grow up. Now, all of them appeared. [Boss, don¡¯t talk nonsense ah. My son is only 19 years old; he can¡¯t mess around in matters between men and women!] [The anchor is streaming every day, how does he have time to start dating?] [Xiao Yan hasn¡¯t started dating, did you misunderstand something, boss? My husband has nothing to do with those flirty, frivolous female anchors!!] ¡°Don¡¯t curse out other anchors in my livestream. Next time I see something like that, you¡¯ll be blocked.¡± Yu Yan nced at the barrage and then said, ¡°And I¡¯m not single. Everyone should be civilized and just watch the livestream, don¡¯t curse out people¡­ and also don¡¯t call me husband, I¡¯m afraid they will misunderstand when theye into my livestream.

Chapter 98 - What is that even Chapter 98 - What is that even Edited by Noks After Yi Chen reached thepany, the first thing he did was look for those gifts. His office was always kept neat and tidy, so he could easily find things, even if they were things from a long time ago. He had ced Yi Ran¡¯s gifts randomly at the bottom cab of the bookshelf. He took out the two gift boxes and opened them up. Inside were a belt and a tie. Although neither one of them were expensive, it could be seen from the design of the essories that the other party had chosen them with heartfelt feelings. They didn¡¯t belong to the style popr with the rotten rich who roamed about the streets; they looked fairly simple and generous, which was the kind of style Yi Chen always liked to wear. His secretary knocked on the door and entered, ¡°President Yi, the meeting will begin immediately.¡± Yi Chen let out an ¡°en,¡± ced the items into the boxes and put the lid back on them.¡±Do you have any bags?¡± His secretary paused and asked, ¡°Bags?¡± ¡°En.¡± He raised the two gift boxes in his hands as an exnation. ¡°For packing things.¡± ¡°Ah, yes we do.¡± His secretary responded, ¡°I¡¯ll get some for you.¡± ¡ª¡ª Yu Yan spent a week in Jincheng. That whole week, he didn¡¯t go anywhere except the nearby supermarket. Yi Chen was busy with work, and they could only spend time together in the evenings. The two of them didn¡¯t even have time to go to a restaurant. ¡°I only have one meeting this afternoon.¡± Yi Chen put on his tie, went to his bedside, and kissed the person who was still in bed. ¡°I¡¯ll try toe back as soon as possible.¡± Usually, even when he was at home, Yu Yan liked toze in bed, but these past few days, he had been forced by Yi Chen to go to bed early and then get up early. His bad sleeping habits had now been almostpletely corrected. Himzing in bed today was because they had gone at it for a long timest night. His feet had been raised up for too long, so everytime he got up or moved, he felt sore. ¡­¡­ This was the end result for an otaku ah. Only after Yi Chen put on his suit did Yu Yan sit up slowly. Yi Chen asked, ¡°Why are you getting up? Sleep some more today.¡± ¡°Not sleeping anymore.¡± Yu Yan went into the bathroom without closing the door. He looked in the mirror and started neatening up the few strands of hair that had forcefully curled up while he was asleep. ¡°I still need to go out and throw the garbage.¡± ¡°Auntie will toss it.¡± ¡°No way.¡± Yu Yan squeezed out the toothpaste and said a low voice, ¡°¡­what do we do if she sees it?¡± He was referring to the used condoms in the garbage can. ¡°If it¡¯s pressed to the bottom, she won¡¯t see it.¡± Yi Chen said this and looked around to see if there was anything he could use to cover it up with. ¡°No, I¡¯d still better toss it myself ba. I¡¯ll also be just in time to take a walk outside.¡± The pajamas Yu Yan had brought had been tossed into theundry, so he had slept in Yi Chen¡¯s pajamasst night. The man¡¯s pajamas were a whole size bigger than his, and the shirt¡¯s neckline was particrlyrge on him. With every two steps that he took, he had to stop to pull up the pajama pants a bit. So after he washed up, he went to change his clothes before he could go in front of the people in the living room. Yi Chen fastened his wristwatch. When he turned around to say something, he saw Yu Yan standing at the head of the bed with his back facing him. Pulling upwards with both hands, he took off his roomy pajamas. The young man¡¯s whole back was exposed to the air, and the faint marks he had leftst night on the pale skin could still be seen. Although the heating was on in the house, it would still feel a little cold when abruptly taking clothes off. Yu Yan hurriedly picked up the clothes he had ced beforehand beside him and had just started putting the shirt over his head, when suddenly, two spots of warmth embraced his waist, which startled him into halting his motions. ¡°These are what I made?¡± Yi Chen stood behind him and asked as he gently caressed him. Yu Yan had been feeling itchy for a while and wanted to hide them, but in the end he couldn¡¯t hide them, and now he was even itchier. He quickly pulled his clothes down, but even after getting dressed, all that changed was that Yi Chen¡¯s hands were now under his clothes. Seeing that he was asking a question for which he already knew the answer, Yu Yanughed and replied, ¡°No, I got them while bumping into something while sleeping.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°I¡¯ll be lighter next time.¡± It was broad daylight, and he was talking about next time. Yu Yan said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, it doesn¡¯t hurt. I have coarse skin and thick flesh.¡± Yi Chen looked at his body left and right, but didn¡¯t see where his skin was coarse or his flesh was thick. When Yu Yan tied up the garbage bag, he found that his cuff had some stray thread sticking out of it. He stood up and asked, ¡°Does this room have scissors?¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°The second drawer of the bedside table.¡± As soon as Yu Yan opened the drawer, his eyes were drawn towards a picture frame inside. In the picture frame was a picture of a family of three. Yi Chen looked like he was still in junior high school, and he was sitting in the middle with a big smile on his face. Behind him was a couple. It could be clearly seen from their facial features that the two behind him were Yi Chen¡¯s parents. Inside the drawer were more things than just the picture frame. He could faintly make out a few photographs pressed under the picture frame. Before he could see them clearly, a big hand obstructed his sight. At some unknown point, Yi Chen had appeared at his side. He took out the scissors and closed the drawer. Yi Chen took his hand and cut the loose thread from the cuff for him. His tone was as usual as he said, ¡°Let¡¯s go have breakfast.¡± When the two of them came out from the bedroom, they found Yi Ran already sitting in the living room, and the cleaning auntie tidying up the kitchen. As soon as they sat down, Yi Ran couldn¡¯t help opening his mouth. He had a strange expression on his face and tried to cover it up with a yawn as he asked, ¡°Xiao Yan, how can you guys get up so early ah?¡± Yu Yan looked at the time before replying, ¡°Is it early? Don¡¯t we usually get up at this time?¡± ¡ªThat was during normal times. Yi Ran looked at his cousin who was brimming with health and vitality, then at the obviously not-very-energetic Yu Yan, and his heart felt veryplicated. When he had gone to the kitchen to get some waterst night, he had heard two faint low cries. He wasn¡¯t a kid anymore, so he knew what it was as soon as he heard it. And that was at two o¡¯clock in the middle of the night ah! Xiao Yan had to livestream during the day and then suffer this kind of hardship at night. It was too pitiful. Yu Yan took a sip of porridge and felt as though there was an elusive gaze falling upon him, which wasing from his side. He looked up and met Yi Ran¡¯s gaze. He didn¡¯t know if it was just his misconception, but he kept feeling as if Yi Ran¡¯s eyes were carrying some sympathy in them. ¡°¡­What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yi Ran immediately returned to his senses, hurriedly picked up his milk, and guzzled down a mouthful before saying, ¡°Nothing, nothing.¡± After breakfast, Yi Chen sipped at his coffee, stood up, and told Yu Yan again, ¡°Wait for me in the afternoon.¡± Yu Yan replied with an ¡°okay.¡± His driver was waiting outside. Ever since the time the boss had carried a piece of bread with him, he didn¡¯t dare to rush into the house anymore. Yi Chen went to the porch. When he passed the kitchen door, he bent down and picked up a ck stic bag on the ground with a slight hook of his finger. That was the garbage bag Yu Yan had just brought out of the bedroom. ¡°Boss, wait¡­¡± Before Yu Yan could even manage to react, the cleaning auntie ran out of the kitchen first. ¡°This bag is garbage.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Yi Chen said naturally, ¡°I¡¯ll toss it.¡± The three people in the room were all stunned. The cleaning auntie was startled as she said, ¡°Don¡¯t ah, when I walk backter, I can pass by the garbage truck¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Yi Chen put on his shoes, opened the door without giving anyone a chance for exnation, then turned to Yu Yan and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to work.¡± When the door closed, the cleaning auntie¡¯s hands were left raised in the air, as if she had no clue of where to ce them. She felt an inexplicable sense of fear of losing her job. Yi Ran returned to his senses and said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with my Ge today; that garbage bag was so small, and there seemed to be nothing in it ah. Why was he in such a hurry to toss it?¡± Yu Yan¡¯s face had turned red. He buried himself in his breakfast and said in a faltering voice, ¡°Maybe¡­ just doing it randomly ba.¡± The two of them were halfway through their meal when Yi Ran¡¯s cellphone suddenly rang. ¡°So early in the morning, who would call me¡­¡± Yi Ran took a look and followed up with a ¡°holy shit¡±. He stared at Yu Yan and said, ¡°It¡¯s my aunt!¡± Yi Ran¡¯s aunt was also Yi Chen¡¯s mother. Yu Yan was stunned, and unconsciously sat up straighter. Yi Ran had a youtiao in his hands. He didn¡¯t want to dirty his phone, so he simply put his cellphone on the table and turned on the speakerphone after epting the call. Yu Yan held his breath and listened. Mother Yi¡¯s voice was very soft, and it was easy to tell that she was a gentle person. ¡°Xiao Ran, by calling you so early, I didn¡¯t disturb you ba?¡± ¡°No, I was just having breakfast.¡± Yi Ran asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Aunt? What can I do for you?¡± ¡°There is something,¡± Mother Yi paused and then said, ¡°Aunt wants you to help her with something.¡± ¡°Go ahead.¡± ¡°Are you still living in Yi Chen¡¯s house right now?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s ears were practically standing straight up. The other side began to speak, but then hesitated, ¡°¡­Xiao Chen should be at work now ba?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Yi Ran lied casually, ¡°Right now I¡¯m at home with the cleaning auntie. Aunt, if you have something, just tell me ba.¡± Yu Yan was stunned and instinctively nced at Yi Ran. The other party immediately looked back at him and signaled him to remain quiet. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s actually just a small matter.¡± Mother Yi said, ¡°I want you to help me sound him out a bit and ask him if he has any business socialization meetings during the Spring Festival, and if he will be in Jincheng. You know, the ce I am at has a little time difference with him, and it¡¯s not convenient to make a phone call. He also never replied to the message I sent the other day.¡± Yi Ran was shocked. ¡°Ah? Aunt, are you guysing back to Jincheng for the Spring Festival this year?¡± ¡°Yes, we have already booked our tickets.¡± Mother Yi said, ¡°When the timees, let¡¯s all have a New Year¡¯s Eve dinner together.¡± ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll find a chance to ask my Ge.¡± Yi Ran answered with this, and after exchanging a few polite words, the two of them hung up. Just as he was about to continue eating his breakfast, he met Yu Yan¡¯s gaze, which was filled with disbelief. ¡°¡­¡­ What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°That phone call just now, wasn¡¯t it Yi Chen¡¯s mother?¡± Yu Yan asked. Yi Ran answered casually, ¡°Yes ah.¡± ¡°Then why¡­¡± Why did she need Yi Ran to go sound out Yi Chen for this kind of a small matter that could be resolved with a simple phone call? Yi Ran realized what he was asking about and replied, ¡°Oh, my Ge and my aunt aren¡¯t very close. Aunt is probably afraid of calling and disturbing my Ge when he is resting, so it¡¯s inconvenient for her to ask.¡± Yu Yan could understand such a thing happening if it were an ordinary family rtionship, and they weren¡¯t close to each other. But this was between a mother and her son. And not calling because of the time difference¡­ That was too strange. Seeing hisplicated expression, Yi Ran wiped his hands before patting his shoulder. ¡°That¡¯s just what my Ge¡¯s family is like. My Ge moved out as soon as he became an adult, and my uncle and aunt are usually abroad all year round. The number of times they meet up might even be less than the number of times me and my Ge meet up.¡± ¡°Abroad all year round?¡± ¡°Yes ah. My uncle and aunt are both artists. Artists ma, you know, what they like most is running all over the world. How to say ba, out of the 365 days in a year, they have been abroad or in other provinces in the country for at least 300 days.¡± As Yu Yan listened to all this, his eyebrows unconsciously wrinkled. Yi Ran had never talked about this topic with anyone before, so all of this had been hidden in his heart for a long time already. Now that he had started, he couldn¡¯t stop talking. ¡°In fact, when my Ge was in school, he had a pretty good rtionship with his parents. Later, when my grandfather passed away, the greatest number of shares in thepany went to my Ge through his will. He became the chairman of the board when he was still quite young. My uncle and aunt advised him to let other people manage thepany, but my Ge refused and stubbornly took up the reins of thepany.¡± ¡°Later, my Ge¡¯spany grew bigger and bigger, and he became pretty busy ba. Many things couldn¡¯t be attended to, and he didn¡¯t live at home, so their rtionship gradually drifted further apart.¡± Upon speaking of this, Yi Ran gripped the water cup in his hand tightly, as if he had thought of something rather unpleasant. ¡°And our family has a lot of branches, with countless distant rtives. I don¡¯t know which family member started passing around that¡­¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Passing around what?¡± ¡°Just passing around that¡­. Saying my Ge only cares about money and even looks down upon his rtives. Anyway, it¡¯s all unpleasant.¡± Here, Yi Ran clicked his tongue before continuing, ¡°It¡¯s really unfair that those people can say such words carelessly and don¡¯t even bother looking at themselves properly. All day long, all they think about is ways to take advantage of my Ge, and even after taking advantage, they still try to take actions against my Ge in front of my uncle and aunt. What is that even, pei!¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Yanyan, hiding the garbage makes it so much more suspicious¡­.I¡¯m sure cleaning auntie has seen worse (although probably not from Yi Chen).

Chapter 99 - Your gift for no longer being single. Edited by Noks The chat with Yi Ran in the morning directly affected Yu Yan¡¯s mood for the rest of the day. For example, currently, he was manipting the character in his hands with a serious expression on his face, as he hid on the bridge to collect the bridge-crossing toll. A car roared forward, and he stuck out his head to clearly determine the other party¡¯s position. Then he immediately pointed a red dot scope at it¡ª¡ª [yanxyan eliminated WHOAMI007 by detonating the vehicle.] His actions caused this notification to pop up on the upper-right corner of the screen, and then he collected the guns and loaded them. He simply told his teammates, ¡°They¡¯re all dead.¡± His ying was still strong, but he just wasn¡¯t interacting with his stream followers and teammates. From the beginning of the match to now, he had only said three sentences, and they had only been spoken when he had seen good things and had turned on his mic to ask his teammates if they wanted them or not. Leaving this sentence behind, he got on his motorcycle, took the lead in rushing over to the other end of the bridge to loot, and then returned to the safe zone. [After watching so many anchors, I haven¡¯t seen anyone sweep cars away as beautifully as you do.] [With these kinds of skills, why be an anchor ah? Someone wrote a request with their own blood, asking you to enter their team, consider CN7 a bit??] [CN7 starters are so strong, are you just letting my Xiao Yan enter to be a substitute yer? Son, I think QM is pretty good. QM had several yers leave recently, so if you go, you can definitely start directly!] [Isn¡¯t the previous poster annoying ah? Don¡¯t mention matters about teams in front of Xiao Yan, okay? Was whatever that happened before not distressing enough ah?] His livestream had more stream followers now, so naturally, there were more quarrels taking ce as well. As soon as any jarring noise appeared in the conversation, a quarrel would start. The administrator had assigned an extra stream moderator to help him recently, but it was obviously not enough. Feeling that the lines in the barrage assistant in the upper left corner of the screen were shing by faster and faster, Yu Yan took the time to nce at it, and only then did he sort of snap out of his silent state and open his mouth. ¡°How did you guys start quarreling over even this subject?¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I¡¯m not nning on joining any teams. Besides, those teams would turn their noses up at me ya. Everyone, don¡¯t talk about such meaningless topics.¡± After he had streamed for a while, Yi Ran, who was sitting beside him, stood up. ¡°Xiao Yan, I¡¯m not ying anymore. My friend and I made ns to go get a foot massage.¡± Yi Ran turned off hisputer and asked him, ¡°Want to go? Sitting in front of theputer all day, you must have a lot of problems in and around the waist. Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll treat you to a massage.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡± Seeing that Yi Ran wasn¡¯t joining him in ying anymore, Yu Yan directly queued up for a solo match. ¡°Do you want auntie to leave you some dinner in the microwave?¡± ¡°No need, I won¡¯t be back for dinner,¡± Yi Ran said, then suddenly pointed to Yu Yan¡¯s microphone with his finger, and mouthed, ¡°Turn off the mic.¡± Yu Yan froze, before turning off the mic in ordance with his words. ¡°Everything I told you this morning ba was just me talking randomly. Don¡¯t take it to heart, it¡¯s actually nothing serious.¡± Yi Ran had noticed that Yu Yan¡¯s spirits were low and soforted him. ¡°My Ge is a very independent person. Maybe he doesn¡¯t even want my uncle and aunt to care for him. Besides, all that gossip that those awful rtives indulge in, my Ge also doesn¡¯t take it to heart at all.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s mood wasn¡¯t soothed by these words. Yes, no one wanted to be controlled by their parents. However, parents weren¡¯t there to just supervise their children, but were also a harbor and a pair of supporting arms. Yu Yan had already lost this, so he was very clear about what it was like to be without a parents¡¯ love andpany. And no one was a saint, so how could there be someone who wouldpletely ignore the gossip of people around them? Even more so when those people were Yi Chen¡¯s rtives. ¡°I know,¡± Yu Yan just replied with that. Heughed and said, ¡°You go ahead ba.¡± At the end of the meeting in the afternoon, just as Yi Chen walked out of the meeting room, his assistant came up with him and whispered, ¡°President Yi, Haiming Group¡¯s President Chen just called and said that he wanted to ask you to have dinner and reminisce about old days.¡± ¡°Not going.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°I have ns tonight.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± His assistant thought of something. ¡°Driver Liu asked for leave at noon, so I will send you over in the evening ba? Then after you¡¯re done, I can send you back.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°No need, I¡¯ll drive by myself.¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid that after you drink, there will be no one to send you back&#k2026;¡± ¡°I have ns at home, no need to send me back.¡± Yi Chen paused, before saying, ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard for the past few days. If nothinges up, you can leave work early today.¡± Tossing this sentence behind him, Yi Chen strode straight into his office. His assistant was left stuck in the same spot, lost in a daze. Have ns at home¡­ What kind of ns were those? When Yi Chen got home, he put hisptop and all his documents on the sofa, and then walked into theputer room. Being afraid of disturbing Yu Yan, he kept his movements very light. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the young man, who was seated in front of theputer with his brow slightly furrowed and his lips closed, as he stared at the screen seriously. ¡°There are three people upstairs.¡± His teammates must have said something, for Yu Yan spoke again, ¡°Three, I heard them¡­ It¡¯s fine, we won¡¯t leave, it¡¯s easy to attack fortifications. Which one of you can throw grenades? ¡­Come on, I¡¯ll give you three. You just worry about throwing it in, no need to stress about it.¡± His teammate obediently took hold of the grenades being handed over, and didn¡¯t hold back as he blew up the fortifications using them one by one. The people who were upstairs couldn¡¯t stand it any longer and all of them jumped out through the window to try and run away. Yu Yan was holding a gun, and this scenario for him became like a game of shooting down birds. After two guns and 60 bullets were used up, he sessfully obtained three kills. He breathed a sigh of relief. ¡°All dead, leave me some bullets¡­¡± As soon as he finished saying this, he seemed to have noticed something. He raised his head from the screen abruptly and met the gaze of the person standing at the door. His eyes brightened almost instantaneously. ¡°How are you back so early¡ª¡± Yi Chen closed the door and walked up to him, making half of his body appear on camera. ¡°Skipping work.¡± Yi Chenughed, then nced at the screen and asked, ¡°How long until you stop streaming?¡± Yu Yan dragged his eyes back to the game and quickly finished looting. ¡°Still have more than an hour left.¡± [WTF!? Boss 1¡¯s voice? Ahhhh, I want to see Boss 1¡¯s face!! A meteor kneels down and begs Xiao Yan to lift up the camera a bit!] [No, these two¡­ Why are they together every day ah? And always at the other party¡¯s house?? My girlfriend and I aren¡¯t even that attached¡­] [1YanTang can! Celebrate! New! Year¡¯s! Early! Tossing a meteor, wishing Boss 1 and Xiao Yan a harmonious unionsting a hundred years, and big fortune, great profit, and good luck in the year of the pig!] Yi Chen saw the barrage,ughed, and asked him in a low voice, ¡°Then, is there space to carry me, big thigh?¡± ¡°¡­¡­ Yes,¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°But are you going to go to the study to y?¡± Thinking of this, Yi Chen raised his eyebrows¡ª And after a while, he said, ¡°Then I won¡¯t y.¡± He had originally just wanted to y games with Yu Yan. But he now realised that if they were to y together, the two of them would have to be separated by a wall. He picked up the chair that Yi Ran had brought into the room before, and just like when they were in Manyang, sat next to Yu Yan. Only half of his body could be seen through the camera, and ever since he had entered the room, he had never shown his face. ¡°I¡¯ll watch you y.¡± Soon, the stream followers found that Yu Yan¡¯s mood had changed a lot. ¡­¡­ But it was not directed towards them. ¡°Usually when you use a sniper rifle, if the enemy is moving, you can lift the scope a little bit, and because of the far distance, the bullet will fall during its shooting trajectory¡­ Like this.¡± Yu Yan exined, while firing several shots at the opposite side, and immediately receiving two spurts of green blood in response. ¡°But it¡¯s not easy to kill them this way. If your position isn¡¯t good, there¡¯s no need to shoot. Otherwise, you¡¯ll just reveal your position for no reason, andter on, it won¡¯t be easy to enter the safety zone.¡± Yi Chen let out a thoughtful ¡°en¡± and very supportivelyvished praise on him, ¡°You¡¯re so strong.¡± [Lololol, very smooth ttery. Do I dare ask, do you actually understand, Boss 1?] [1YanTang girl taking screenshots like crazy! Although Boss 1 has only revealed half of his body, I canpletely make out his Western suit and leather shoes¡ªthe slick-haired, refined ck sheep appearance!! Xiao Yan, go for it!!!! Quickly do some hands-on training to show him how to fire ¡á a gun ah!! ] [¡­¡­ These screaming 1YanTang people should simmer down a bit ba. It used to be okay, but now Xiao Yan has a girlfriend, so it¡¯s not appropriate to send messages like this. Are you a stranger to tending your ideas on your own?] Yi Chen had originally been teased into a good mood by the barrage. By the time he suddenly saw those words in the barrage, it was toote to retract the smile on his lips. Yu Yan was ying in the final circle and didn¡¯t realize that the expression of the person next to him had changed. Their entire team made it into the final circle and even looted two airdrops along the way. Yu Yan now had an M249 in his hand, and relying on a hundred bullets, had overturned thest three Voldemorts, sessfully gathering 16 kills to win the match. In the barrage, the viewers began to sigh emotionally again. Talking back and forth, they couldn¡¯t go two sentences without mentioning the idea of ying professionally. He had seen these kinds of words too many times now, and Yu Yan didn¡¯t have such a fragile heart made of ss, especially more so when sitting next to Yi Chen. It hadn¡¯t been difficult for Yu Yan to eat chicken and gather 16 kills, but even then, he couldn¡¯t help but turn his head like a child waiting for praise and say, ¡°Yi Chen, I ate chicken.¡± Yi Chen met his eyes and let out an unclearugh. ¡°¡­Then you¡¯re pretty strong.¡± He got his praise. But to Yu Yan¡¯s ears, he kept feeling like these words didn¡¯t seem to be earnest praise. Sure enough, after Yi Chen said that, he suddenly asked, ¡°Heard you got a girlfriend?¡± ¡°?¡± Yu Yan froze, not sure how to react. ¡°I¡­what girlfriend?¡± Yi Chen raised his hand, bent his finger, and gently scratched at theputer screen. ¡°They said it.¡± [Boss 1 still doesn¡¯t know yet?? Xiao Yan said in the stream that day that he has a girlfriend now.] ¡°Oh?¡± Yi Chen said. ¡°I really didn¡¯t know about that.¡± Yu Yan quickly exined, ¡°No. What I said was, I¡¯m not single anymore.¡± As soon as these words were uttered, everyone was left stunned. Only Yi Chen, who was sitting at his side, smiled. [£¿£¿£¿ ] [So you¡¯re not single, how does that conflict with you having a girlfriend???] [Wait a moment, I suddenly have a bold idea¡­] ¡°Alright.¡± Yi Chen opened his mouth and cut off the topic. He said, ¡°Yanyan, let me show you something.¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°What?¡± ¡°Reach your hands out and take it.¡± Yu Yan followed his instructions and held out his hands under the table. His hands were then tightly grasped by Yi Chen, who raised his thumb and scratched it gently against Yu Yan¡¯s palm. ¡°Do you like it?¡± Yi Chen, who had nothing in his hands, continued, ¡°Just in time, it can be your gift for no longer being single.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± The barrage filled with lines about the same topic, with everyone urging him to take the gift out and bring it in front of the camera so that they could also take a look. There were even some people guessing what the gift was. Yu Yan really felt as if the two of them were having a ndestine love affair right now. His ears were red, and he let out an ¡°en¡± sound. He grasped the other person¡¯s hand under the table and held it for a long time as he said, ¡°¡­I like it.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Aw Yanyan earnestly lecturing about the finer points of PUBG to Yi Chen while Yi Chen dotes on him and praises him is so cute.

Edited by Noks Some stream followers kept messaging the barrage until the end of the livestream, saying that because they couldn¡¯t see the gift, their hearts felt itchy, and they wouldn¡¯t be able to sleep well tonight. ¡°Perfect, it¡¯s the weekend tomorrow, so if you can¡¯t sleep tonight, you can make up for it tomorrow.¡± Yu Yan closed the game, that tiger¡¯s tooth of his shing out as he said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll stop livestreaming. Goodbye everyone.¡± As soon as he turned off his livestream, he let out a breath of relief, and then slowly exited the open social apps cluttered on theputer screen one by one. ¡°Are you tired of waiting?¡± ¡°Not tired.¡± Yi Chen got up, bent over, and kissed him. His movements were extremely natural. ¡°Let¡¯s go, head out.¡± Yu Yan froze. ¡°Where are we going?¡± ¡°Somewhere to eat.¡± The two of them went to a restaurant that was quiet and upscale. It was clearly in the downtown area, but its appearance was very low-key. Only after they entered it did they realize its extravagance. The maitre-de knew Yi Chen and came up to greet him as soon as he saw him. ¡°President Yi.¡± The maitre-de smiled. ¡°Let me hang up the coats for you and this gentleman ba.¡± Just as Yi Chen was about to remove his coat, he found Yu Yan¡¯s eyes wandering about, and he lookedpletely uneasy. He immediately paused in his movements. Yu Yan didn¡¯t notice his gaze. He curled his lips and was about to take off his coat when suddenly, someone gently grasped his wrist. Yi Chen stopped his actions. ¡°No need.¡± Yu Yan, wearing apletely confused expression on his face, was led out of the restaurant by him. In the elevator, Yu Yan asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Did you forget to bring something?¡± ¡°No.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°We¡¯re not going to eat there.¡± Yu Yan let out an ¡°ah¡± and asked, ¡°Why¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think you like this restaurant very much.¡± Yu Yan remained silent for a while. He hadn¡¯t expected that Yi Chen would even notice something like this. This restaurant was good, but from the internal structure of the restaurant, it could be seen that ¡­this ce didn¡¯t have open seats and tables. That was, every guest had to enter a booth. Then, how was it any different from them eating the way they did normally at home? In addition, there would be no waiter watching them at home, and it was even morefortable there. This restaurant was suitable for parties and business meetings, but not for hard-toe-by dates. Yu Yan said, ¡°It¡¯s not¡­¡± When the elevator door opened, the cold wind blew in. Yi Chen, who stood beside him, was about to ask him something, when suddenly a familiar voice carried over. ¡°A-Chen?¡± This way of calling out to him was a little strange. Yu Yan looked up reflexively and saw a middle-aged woman standing outside the elevator. She was dressed gracefully and appropriately, and had a slightly surprised expression on her face. Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°Aunt.¡± The woman was Yi Ran¡¯s mother. She inadvertently nced at Yu Yan first, and only then did sheugh and nod as she asked, ¡°You came to have dinner with your friend?¡± ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°We¡¯re going now. Please go up ba, and let Manager Qin charge it to my ount.¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m not here for dinner.¡± After saying this, the middle-aged woman hesitated before opening her mouth again, ¡°I¡¯m here to book a New Year¡¯s Eve dinner. A-Chen, will youe on the 31st¡ª¡± ¡°I still have some matters to take care of,¡± Yi Chen interrupted her, pressed the elevator floor button for her, strode out, and pulled up a faint smile. ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it next time, aunt.¡± From the beginning to the end of this encounter, Yu Yan just stood by without interrupting, simply nodding politely when he met the gaze of the middle-aged woman. The elevator door closed, and only then did they walk to the parking garage. ¡°What would you like to eat?¡± After getting in the car, Yi Chen put on his seat belt and looked as calm as he usually did. ¡°Ah.¡± Yu Yan had been somewhat lost in his thoughts on their way back to the car, and he only returned to his senses now. He took out his cellphone and asked, ¡°Then¡­.I¡¯ll check?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Ten minutester, the two of them stood in one of the busiest street food areas in Jincheng. Yi Chen was wearing a dark green turtleneck on the inside of a bespoke suit. He obviously stuck out quite a bit when standing in the middle of the crowded street. Because it was Friday, there were many people on the street, so passers-by kept bumping into him from time to time. However, he didn¡¯t mind any of that. He just kept moving forward, following the young man in front of him. ¡°Cantonese vermicelli!¡± Yu Yan¡¯s eyes were bright. His fingers instinctively reached back a bit, grabbed Yi Chen¡¯s fingertips, and then swung them back and forth. ¡°Do you want to eat it?¡± Yi Chen looked at the small shop that couldn¡¯t count as being clean at all. He let out a soft ¡°en¡± and said, ¡°Let¡¯s eat.¡± He seldom ate in such kinds of small shops. It wasn¡¯t that he felt that they were too small, it was just that he didn¡¯t think they were clean. The oil used in most of these small shops usually had problems and so normally, he wouldn¡¯t touch the food from such shops. This street had been famous for its food in Jincheng since many years ago, but as a Jincheng native, this was still the first time he hade here. He had only ever seen it in Yi Ran¡¯s Moments before. Since it was street food, the things in the shop weren¡¯t expensive, and the quantity wasn¡¯t much either. The proprietress asked them, ¡°What do you want to eat?¡± As soon as Yi Chen was about to speak, Yu Yan raised his hand and said, ¡°One signature vermicelli dish please, boss.¡± The proprietress was used to all manner of strange things and so nodded. ¡°Okay.¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows. ¡°One?¡± ¡°Yes ah.¡± Yu Yanughed. ¡°This snack street is so long, and we¡¯re still just at the beginning of the street. If we eat too much now, where are we going to put the rest of the snackster on?¡± Yi Chen nodded. He had originally thought that they would go back after eating this bowl of noodles. One portion of vermicelli was very little, and so it was pretty much finished off after each person took two bites of it. After paying the bill, the two of them continued to walk further into the street. After a while, Yu Yan stopped at an ice cream shop. Nothing tasted better than ice cream in winter. He looked back. ¡°Yi Chen¡­¡± ¡°No way.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°It¡¯s already so cold, do you want to catch a cold?¡± They weren¡¯t far from the store, and Yi Chen¡¯s words were overheard by the owner of the ice cream shop. He couldn¡¯t help shouting, ¡°Hey, the parent over there, he won¡¯t catch a cold after eating it. Young people have good resistance to infection!¡± Parent? Yi Chen¡¯s eyes narrowed. Yu Yan was quick in handling the matter. Before Yi Chen could speak, he took his hand. ¡°Boss! He¡¯s not my parent!¡± After tossing this sentence, he hurriedly dragged Yi Chen away. Yi Chen gave him a sideways nce and found that the corner of the young man¡¯s mouth was still risen, and the smile in his eyes couldn¡¯t be hidden away. ¡°You¡¯re even smiling?¡± Yi Chen grew irritated. ¡°I¡¯m not smiling,¡± Yu Yan said, but then felt that his words might not be convincing, so he added, ¡°I look younger than I am, so that¡¯s why the boss misunderstood.¡± ¡°You¡¯re not old, not at all, truly.¡± Yi Chen wasn¡¯tforted at all. The two of them wandered around and eventually entered a barbecue. Yu Yan ordered a basket of dishes, all in one breath, and when they went to the register, the total cost came to 60 yuan. In the restaurant they had gone to in the beginning, one dish of stir fried seasonal vegetables was worth 60 yuan. Yu Yan ate while telling Yi Chen about the interesting things he had encountered in the recent livestream. Although Yi Chen didn¡¯t reply much, a smile hung on his face from the beginning to the end. Until he discovered some fiery gazes being cast in their direction from the neighboring table. It was Friday, and the students were all out of school. Next to them was a table filled with high school girls who were brimming with youth. If they didn¡¯t have their hair loose, then they had it tied up in a ponytail; they had no makeup on, so they gave off a clean and fresh feeling. Most girls of this age were ones who couldn¡¯t hide their intentions¡ªand they weren¡¯t bothering to hide anything at all. All of their eyes were attracted by Yu Yan, their gazes containing surprise and shyness. They were discussing things in a low voice. Yu Yan hadn¡¯t noticed them at all. He had buried his head into the dish, and was picking out all the leeks from the dish and cing most of them into Yi Chen¡¯s bowl. Yi Chen¡¯s gaze fell upon the girls, and the expression on his face was still. Sure enough, a few minutester, the most delicate and pretty girl from the group stood up. He could even hear the other party say indistinctly, ¡°He¡¯s definitely not from our school; he¡¯s not even wearing a uniform¡­ Shh, I¡¯m going ah.¡± The girl was holding her cellphone, her body leaning in their direction nervously, and with just a nce. it was obvious what she wanted to do. Yi Chen looked away. ¡°Yanyan.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s hand paused, then he looked up and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yi Chen recognized the food being held in his chopsticks and said, ¡°I want to eat shrimp balls.¡± The one Yu Yan had grabbed was thest one, and he had already eaten a bit of it. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go order more.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Eating half is enough.¡± The girl walked up to them, her knee length skirt swaying with her movements, which looked very beautiful. She took a deep breath and summoned up her courage to say, ¡°Um¡­¡± As soon as she opened her mouth, the young man in front of her suddenly moved his chopsticks forward. The man seated opposite him ate the half of a shrimp ball held in the chopsticks in a very natural manner. The girl frowned. ¡­¡­ Although it wasn¡¯t unusual for boys to share and eat each other¡¯s food¡ª But they generally wouldn¡¯t eat the other party¡¯s leftovers ba? The man seemed to understand what she was wondering about. He quickly swallowed the small ball, thenughed and said ambiguously, ¡°After we finish eating here, let¡¯s go back ba¡­ To my house?¡± Yu Yan paused for a moment. Wasn¡¯t he going to go back to Yi Chen¡¯s house anyways? ¡°¡­¡­Okay ah.¡± He brought his hand back to his bowl, and only then realized that there was someone standing next to him. He gave a slight sideways nce and asked, ¡°Is something the matter?¡± Every girl possessed a sixth sense, no matter her age. Her smile was stiff as she slowly put her cellphone back in her pocket and answered, ¡°Um, I¡¯m just here to get the pepper.¡± ¡ª¡ª They didn¡¯t get home until nine in the evening. Yi Chen threw the key on the table and rubbed Yu Yan¡¯s neck. ¡°Go take a bath.¡± Yu Yan took off his coat and let him rub his neck, ¡°You go first ba, or else you won¡¯t feel good with the smell lingering on you.¡± The smell of food was on both of them. Yi Chen paused and asked, ¡°Then wash up together?¡± Yu Yan had already been teased by him before, so he nodded and said especially casually, ¡°Okay ah, together is fine.¡± Five minutester, Yu Yan stood in the bathroom, dizzy with heat. Yi Chen tested the water temperature and urged him, ¡°What, do you want me to help you take it off?¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Yu Yan blushed, ¡°No, I¡¯ll do it myself.¡± Yi Chen had mentioned before that the bathroom in the bedroom was small. In actuality though, although it wasn¡¯t bigger than the bathroom attached to the living room, it also contained arge bathtub and a standalone ss shower. The bathtub was already full of hot water. Yi Chen sat in it in a casual position. Although Yu Yan had already seen this scene many times, this figure¡­ he couldn¡¯t resist it no matter the number of times he saw it. Yu Yan said, ¡°You soak ba, I¡¯ll just take a shower, and it¡¯ll be good.¡± With that, he turned around to go. Yet, as a result, his thigh was suddenly covered with a warm heat, which also halted his movement. Yi Chen, who was sitting in the bathtub, had hooked him with his hand and made him stay. ¡°Come in.¡± Yi Chen had actively participated in the designing of his home. When he had been arranging his bedroom, he had had no idea that someone else would also use it with him in the future. He had chosen a big bed because he slept morefortably in one. The bathtub¡¯s size hadn¡¯t needed to be fussed over; if it was smaller, then that would be just perfect, for all he would have to do was lift a hand to get anything. Yu Yan sat between Yi Chen¡¯s legs, and didn¡¯t move at all. He felt as if he was in a hot pot, and that in two minutes, someone could fish him out and eat him. Yi Chen¡¯s legs were wide open. Heughed while looking at Yu Yan¡¯s back, then lifted his arm, and pulled him against his body. Hot water spread around, and their skin touched the other¡¯s, warm and slippery. Yu Yan was startled. He reached for the edge of the bathtub, but instead grabbed Yi Chen¡¯s leg. ¡°Alright.¡± Yi Chen covered his hand and didn¡¯t let him shift away. His cheek stuck to Yu Yan¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t move¡­ I¡¯ll hug you and sleep for a bit.¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t move, and his heart beat very fast as he asked, ¡°Sleeping in the bathtub?¡± ¡°Just for a bit.¡± The bathroom grew quiet, and Yu Yan had never felt so relieved before. Although he knew that he wasn¡¯t heavy, he still didn¡¯t dare to put all his weight on Yi Chen and spent a lot of energy in keeping himself upright. Hey there for a long time, reluctant to part from him. Only once the person behind him began breathing steadily did he think of sitting up a bit and taking a breather. In the end though, before he could move, the person behind him moved first. To be precise, it was his hands that moved. Feeling that something wasn¡¯t quite right under him, Yu Yan was startled. ¡°Aren¡¯t you sleeping?¡± Yi Chen¡¯s hands paused, and he smiled. ¡°¡­.I was found out.¡± Being found out didn¡¯t mean that he would stop though. Yu Yan could also me the fact that he hadn¡¯t seen everything clearly when he had entered on nervousness. He didn¡¯t know when a box of condoms and KY had been ced on the shelf above the bathtub. The bathroom was steaming with heat, but Yu Yan¡¯s body was even hotter. Usually, they turned off the lights or only kept the bedsidemp on. Everything would be blurred and indistinct, and only then did he dare to let loose a little. But right now, the lights were on, and to their right a mirror, just in front of them. Yu Yan¡¯s skin was pale, and every time they did it, his whole body would tinge with pink. In this environment, he was particrly conspicuous, and upon watching him, Yi Chen felt his throat go dry. In the middle of doing it, he couldn¡¯t help but bend down and not so gently, bit him. This time, even Yu Yan¡¯s cries echoed throughout the room. Because of the particrly sensual environment, after only doing it once, Yu Yan was unable to keep going anymore. Yi Chen didn¡¯t try anything else with him, and after changing the hot water, continued to embrace him. Just now, nearly all of their bodies had been out of the water, so it wouldn¡¯t count as having soaked for too long. Yu Yan stopped worrying about him now and put his whole weight on him. Because they were in the water, Yi Chen didn¡¯t feel that he was heavy at all. Yu Yan wormed himself into the groove of his neck, feeling veryfortable, and almost fell asleep. Suddenly, he thought of something. He reinvigorated himself and said, ¡°By the way, Yi Chen¡­I have something to tell you.¡± ¡°En?¡± ¡°I may have to go back to Manyang for the Spring Festival this year.¡± Yi Chen pinched a strand of his hair and yed with it casually as he replied, ¡°En, then I¡¯ll go back with you.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Yu Yan shifted a bit, then looked up and said, ¡°No, I mean, I might have to go back to my uncle¡¯s for the New Year¡¯s. My aunt also has some rtives on her side that we need to pay visits to, so maybe¡­there won¡¯t be time for me to keep youpany.¡± Yi Chen looked down at him and didn¡¯t speak, so Yu Yan couldn¡¯t figure out what he was thinking. Yu Yan said, ¡°So this year we may not be able to celebrate the New Year together. When the New Year celebrations are over, I¡¯lle back to you again, okay?¡± After a long silence, Yi Chen refused, ¡°No way.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Yi Chen sighed and suddenly asked, ¡°You don¡¯t want to spend New Year¡¯s with me?¡± Yu Yan was stunned and hurriedly said, ¡°It¡¯s not like that¡­¡± Yi Chen then asked, ¡°Then why are you lying to me?¡± Yu Yan fell silent and blinked nkly, unable to understand what he was talking about. ¡°I heard you when you called your uncle the other day,¡± Yi Chen said. Yu Yan: ¡°¡­¡± Yu Minyang had called him a few days ago, asking him toe back for New Year¡¯s. Yu Yan had refused him on the phone that time. Having been caught lying, Yu Yan was at a loss and rushed to say, ¡°No, I didn¡¯t mean to lie to you.¡± Yi Chen kept looking at him quietly. After a long time, Yu Yan just said, ¡°¡­.I heard that your parents wille home for the Spring Festival this year.¡± Yi Chen wasn¡¯t surprised to hear that. He had actually already guessed the general situation. ¡°What do these two things have to do with each other?¡± he asked. Yu Yan was shocked. ¡°Since they¡¯reing back to celebrate New Year¡¯s with you, then of course I¡­¡± ¡°No,¡± Yi Chen interrupted him. ¡°¡­¡­ Ah.¡± Yi Chen frowned and spoke in the same tone as always, ¡°This time, they¡¯reing back because of something else. Whether or not I spend New Year¡¯s with them isn¡¯t very important to them.¡± ¡°How can that be?¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t understand. ¡°Auntie even specifically called Yi Ran¡­¡± ¡°That was just by the way.¡± There were only the two of them in the bathroom. Yi Chen held onto him, as though he needed something to support himself with. In the past, at home, he would be surrounded by those white-eyed wolf rtives, and in the business field, many people had their eyes pinned on him. As a result, he became unwilling to share his worries and weaknesses with others, for fear of having any of his weak points exploited. But in front of Yu Yan, he becamepletely rxed. He told him in the most ordinary tone he could use, ¡°They¡¯reing back this time to adopt a child. Chinese New Year is just a stop on their way.¡± Yu Yan was stunned. Yi Chenughed,and this time, his voice seemed to carry some unknown feeling as he said, ¡°Yanyan, I may have a Didi¡­.or a Meimei soon.¡± He had originally wanted to share this matter with his little boyfriend in a more rxed manner, so thatter, when the Didi or Meimei actually appeared, he wouldn¡¯t have to exin too much. However, he didn¡¯t expect that after listening to this, Yu Yan would abruptly raise his head, and his brow would be drawn in a tight frown, and even his throat would roll a few times. His eyes were full of distress and confusion. Yi Chen was shocked. Just as he was about to say something, he saw that the person who had just beenpletely exhausted suddenly turned over and swiftly opened up both his arms to tightly hug him. ¡°Yi Chen.¡± He wasn¡¯t stupid, he knew what this adoption meant. Yi Chen and his parents were already not close to each other, and then suddenly adding on another child¡­ Even though Yi Chen tried to understate the matter, Yu Yan could still see through him. He had never felt so aggrieved before. He had never experienced this kind of mood even when he had been abused by those stream followers, and had gotten thatwsuit notice from Feng Xiong. Only when he had heard Yi Ran talk about his blood sucking rtives had he felt the same kind of unrestrained anger. He could suffer any amount of losses and grievances, but couldn¡¯t see Yi Chen suffer even the tiniest amount of loss and grievance. Yi Chen¡¯s expression only turnedplicated for a moment, and then he soon recovered to his usual expression. He raised his hand and rubbed Yu Yan¡¯s hair. He chuckled and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Yu Yan hugged him, and after a long period of silence, he opened his mouth again and spoke solemnly, as if he were taking an oath¡ª ¡°I just wanted to say¡­¡± ¡°Yi Chen, I¡¯m here. I¡¯ll apany you forever.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: <3<3<3<3<3<3 Yanyannnnnn so sweet. Poor Yi Chen, trying to keep up a brave face, but at least he has Yanyan tofort him. (And do unspeakable things in the bathroom with huhuhuhu). Also, so petty Yi Chen, staking your im and making sure the high school girl gets the picture hahahaha. Probably he was also provoked by that ice cream guy mistaking him for Yanyan¡¯s dad, but you have nothing to worry about, Yanyan didn¡¯t even notice her.

Chapter 101 - After all, you can¡¯t let children suffer. Edited by Noks By the time they got into bed, Yu Yan almost fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow. Yi Chen wasn¡¯t sleepy at all. He held the other man in his arms and loosely touched his hair. Afraid of waking him up, he kissed him especially lightly, his kisses scattering across Yu Yan¡¯s eyelids, the tip of his nose, and finally his lips. Yu Yan was so sleepy that he didn¡¯t open his eyes even upon feeling these kisses. He just asked him vaguely, ¡°¡­aren¡¯t you going to sleep?¡± ¡°Will sleep,¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Good night.¡± Only after the breaths of the person next to him grew steady did Yi Chen start to move. He raised the quilt, got out of bed, tucked in every corner of the quilt securely again, casually put on a pair of pajamas, picked up his cellphone, and went to the balcony. It was very cold outside. He closed the door firmly, confirmed the current time, and then dialed a number. The phone rang twice before it was soon picked up. The person on the other end seemed to be in a state of disbelief. It took a long time before they said, ¡°Xiao Chen?¡± Mother Yi nced at the time and said in a tone filled withplete surprise, ¡°It¡¯s two o¡¯clock in the middle of the night in China ba. At this time¡­ Why are you still calling? You¡¯re not sleeping?¡± As soon as those words were uttered, Mother Yi paused. What she said wasn¡¯t quite right. Even if it was morning, noon, or evening in China, she pretty much would never really get a call from Yi Chen. Yi Chen let out an ¡°en¡± and asked, ¡°Did you have lunch?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Mother Yi stopped what she was doing. She thought of something and spoke with some guilt and great care mixed into her tone, ¡°Xiao Chen¡­ Is your injury better?¡± Since the ident, Mother Yi could clearly feel that the estrangement between her and her son was growing deeper and deeper. That car ident had been caused by Mother Yi¡¯s rtives. After the ident, she had lost count of the number of times those people hade to her to beg her for help. She had never relented even once, nor had she mentioned a word about it in front of Yi Chen. If she had known earlier that indulging them would endanger Yi Chen¡¯s life, she wouldn¡¯t have ever started helping them with anything. However, there was no such thing as irvoyance in this world, and the injury had already been caused, she just didn¡¯t know how to make up for it. ¡°It¡¯s all better.¡± After Yi Chen finished saying that, he fell silent. He had originally thought that question would have been followed by a plea. He had even already decided the way he would reject it, but who knew that this unmentioned ¡°topic¡± would just pass by like that. ¡°That¡¯s good. You should remember what the doctor said. Go back for a check-up once a month, and don¡¯t miss it because of work¡­¡± Speaking to here, Mother Yi fell silent. She knew that Yi Chen didn¡¯t like it when she started to talk about this kind of thing. The time they could use to converse was passing by silently, but neither of them spoke any further. A cool breeze blew by again, and Yi Chen suddenly kind of missed the warmth that came from being under the quilt, just now. He took the lead in breaking this silence and finally got to the reason for this call. ¡°The adoption matter, do you need me to help with it?¡± He inquired. Mother Yi was shocked, and asked as if she hadn¡¯t heard clearly, ¡°¡­.What?¡± ¡°The requirement for domestic adoption is that the parents have to be childless, so you guys shouldn¡¯t be able to meet that requirement.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s voice was very light, and his tone was extremely calm as he continued speaking, ¡°If you want to adopt from abroad, the requirements there are also not any less stringent, and you even may have to go through and sessfully pass a family investigation¡­¡± ¡°No, hold on.¡± Mother Yi stood up unconsciously. Father Yi looked up from the easel he was working on, looked at her doubtfully, and mouthed a question, asking her what was wrong. Mother Yi couldn¡¯t attend to her husband right now and asked again in surprise, ¡°Adoption? Who¡¯s going to adopt?¡± Yi Chen paused and then replied, ¡°Aren¡¯t you guys nning on adopting a child?¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Mother Yi took a deep breath. ¡°Where did you hear that nonsense? I can¡¯t even manage to worry over one of you enough, how could we adopt another child?¡± Yi Chen held his cellphone and subconsciously raised an eyebrow. Mother Yi firmly asked again, ¡°Where did you hear that?¡± Yi Chen curled his lips and in that moment, couldn¡¯t figure out exactly what emotions he was experiencing. ¡°Last time you guys came back to China, you visited a welfare home.¡± Mother Yi instantly understood. The only people who knew that she had gone to the welfare home were her rtives, the ones who subsidized the welfare home. ¡°Did your uncle go look for you?¡± She said, ¡°What else does he want from you? For you to let his son go again? I already clearly warned him to not harass you any more¡­¡± The woman¡¯s voice was angry and urgent, and Yi Chen listened to it while somewhat lost in his thoughts. First, Mother Yi thoroughlymbasted their rtives, and after her anger had been vented a bit, she said, ¡°Yes, your dad and I have been to the welfare home¡­ But we went there to gather artistic inspiration, not to adopt.¡± ¡°Your dad was seized by a sudden impulse and co-organized a painting exhibition with his friends. It was in April, and it was called ¡®Eyes¡¯. He wanted to draw a pair of children¡¯s eyes.¡± ¡°We not only went to the welfare home, but also to the mountains a few months ago and saw a lot of left-behind children. Those children¡­they¡¯re too pitiful.¡± Speaking of this, Mother Yi got angry again. ¡°Your uncle can¡¯t even be called a human being. Only after your dad and I went there personally did we find out that although on the surface he seems to be a great phnthropist who supports the welfare home, in reality, while saying it was all a donation, he embezzled a lot of the profits. All the children there have to eat are just dry noodles without any nutritional value; they are as thin as a stick of firewood!¡± Yi Chen¡¯s throat moved slightly: ¡°¡­¡± When he had heard his uncle talk about this matter before, he had actually never suspected the truth behind the matter. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if he had doubted the truth behind the matter, he still wouldn¡¯t have checked with his parents. ¡°Xiao Chen, what exactly are you thinking?¡± Mother Yi¡¯s eyebrows twisted. ¡°And you even said just now you wanted to help? How could you help, use money to get it done? That¡¯s against thew, you know?¡± Yi Chen leaned against the railing on the balcony. Through the window, he saw that the person lying in bed in the room suddenly turned over. He bowed his head, unable to describe exactly what was going on inside him. He had originally thought that he didn¡¯t care at all, especially at the moment from before when Yu Yan had held him tightly. At that time, he had suddenly felt that this adoption matter actually wasn¡¯t that important. But now that he knew that this matter was all just a misunderstanding, he had to admit that¡­ he felt happy. Mother Yi rubbed her eyebrows. She felt that maybe her tone was a little heavy, so she rxed her voice a little. ¡°Your father and I have never thought about adoption.¡± Father Yi finally understood their conversation. He was shocked, and his brush nearly made a mistake as he eximed, ¡°Adoption? Nonsense, what adoption?!¡± ¡°You be quiet, just draw.¡± Mother Yi stopped her husband¡¯s words, took a deep breath, and then went on to say, ¡°Xiao Chen, I feel like the problems between us have grown ratherrge, and they¡¯ve already reached the point that we have to talk them through. I¡¯ve booked the flight with your dad. When we get home, let¡¯s have a good talk ba.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s throat suddenly felt a little dry, but it didn¡¯t feel ufortable. After a while, he let out a soft ¡°en¡± and said, ¡°Okay.¡± Although he only replied with one word, Mother Yi still managed to catch the fact that he had rxed a bit, and she immediately struck while the iron was hot, asking ¡°Right¡­ I asked your aunt to make reservations for a New Year¡¯s Eve dinner. You wille there then ba?¡± Yi Chen raised his eyes and looked at the person in the bed. ¡°I¡¯ve already made ns with someone, I can¡¯t go.¡± Who would make ns with a friend on New Year¡¯s Eve? Mother Yi asked, ¡°It couldn¡¯t be that it¡¯s¡­¡± ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen replied very generously. There was nothing to hide about this matter; they would know about it sooner orter. This unexpected call contained too much information in it. Mother Yi was holding her cellphone tightly, unable to cover up her excitement. This son of hers had always been far more solitary than ordinary people, and it wouldn¡¯t be an exaggeration to say that she had even worried that he would spend his whole lifetime alone. After her emotions had tumbled around for a long time, Mother Yi nodded and said, ¡°Then that¡¯s just perfect, bring them over to have a New Year¡¯s Eve dinner with us ba? Whatever the circumstances, it¡¯s only good for you to let your family members meet them.¡± She didn¡¯t ask about this person¡¯s family background or about their appearance. As long as Yi Chen liked them, those things were all secondary. Yi Chen replied, ¡°Not possible.¡± Mother Yi had thought that they hadn¡¯t reached that point in their rtionship yet, and she was just about to say that there was no hurry, when she heard Yi Chen continue¡ª ¡°It¡¯s too soon, they¡¯ll get nervous.¡± ¡ª¡ª The next day was the weekend. As soon as Yu Yan woke up, Yi Chen told him about the phone call he had hadst night. Of course, he only talked about the misunderstanding part, and said nothing about the rest of the conversation. Previously, he had told Yu Yan about this matter because he had thought that if a Didi or Meimei suddenly appeared in his life, then he wouldn¡¯t need to exin any further at that time. ¡­¡­ Now he had to exin why a Didi or Meimei wouldn¡¯t be appearing at all. Yu Yan had originally still been a little drowsy, but after hearing what Yi Chen had to say, his eyes cleared up of all signs of sleepiness. ¡°That¡¯s great.¡± Yu Yan rubbed his eyes andughed. ¡°I was still worried¡­¡± ¡°Worried about me?¡± Yu Yan nodded very sincerely. ¡°Worried about me, and yet you managed to sleep so wellst night?¡± Yi Chen chuckled and bit the tip of his ear. ¡°That was because I was too tired.¡± Yu Yan alsoughed and blushed as he replied, ¡°You even have the nerve to say that.¡± It was still early, and it was the weekend, so Yi Chen didn¡¯t need to go to thepany. The two of them rested and recuperated for a bit, before Yu Yan suddenly thought of something. ¡°By the way, auntie said on the phone that the children in the welfare home have no food to eat¡­ Is that true?¡± Yi Chen¡¯s eyebrows also twisted together as he answered, ¡°It should be.¡± Yu Yan hesitated. ¡°Can you ask auntie what the name of that welfare home is?¡± ¡°You want to donate to them?¡± ¡°En.¡± Yu Yan was a little embarrassed. ¡°But I don¡¯t have much money on hand now, so I can¡¯t donate much. I can only donate small amounts slowly, but a little help is still help, and I should do what I can ba. They have had no parents since they were little, and they¡¯re very pitiful.¡± By the time he reached the end of his sentence, his voice had gotten a lot quieter. Yi Chen hugged him a bit tighter and said, ¡°Okay.¡± Yu Yan nodded and said, ¡°Although I don¡¯t have much money, I want to go there myself. Your uncle¡­ I¡¯m not quite at ease.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Upon the mention of this rtive, Yi Chen¡¯s voice grew a few degrees colder. ¡°You can donate your money at ease. He won¡¯t have the chance to do those dirty things again.¡± Yi Ran had already gone home, and Saturday was the housekeeping auntie¡¯s day off. It would only be the two of them at home for the entire day today. Yi Chen took action himself, frying up poached eggs and warming a few slices of ham for breakfast. Throughout the morning, they sat on the sofa in the living room while watching a movie, chatting about the plot from time to time and kissing each other, and it felt wonderful. Only when it reached his livestreaming time did Yu Yan reluctantly stand up. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go livestream.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll keep youpany.¡± Yu Yan froze and asked, ¡°You¡¯re not working today?¡± Yi Chen turned off the TV as he replied, ¡°Everything¡¯s been pretty much handled.¡± Yu Yan wasn¡¯t quite willing to let him sit around and just wait for an entire afternoon. Just as he was about to say something though, Yi Chen stepped into theputer room. All Yu Yan could do was follow him. It turned out that, as soon as he entered, he saw anotherputer on the right in theputer room. Looking at it carefully, he realized that aside from having a video camera, thisputer was almost identical to the one he used. He was shocked. ¡°When was this installed¡­¡± ¡°Yesterday, when we went to dinner.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°I asked Yi Ran to arrange it before he went back.¡± As the start time of the livestream neared, many people could be seen waiting in the stream. Yu Yan started the livestream before slowly logging into the game. ¡°I¡¯m in a good mood today, so I¡¯m going to draw for stream followers for squad matches. There will be two open positions¡­¡± Yu Yan spoke until here before suddenly pausing. He saw that, in the game interface, his character was now wearing a small gray skirt, red Hi-Top Sneakers and a maple-red scarf, making his entire person seem like he reeked of money. He paused, then logged off, murmuring, ¡°System bug.¡± When he logged in again, he saw that it was still the same outfit. Yu Yan doubtfully opened up his own apparel inventory, and after taking a look at it, he was startled¡ªnot only was he wearing this expensive outfit, but his wardrobe was also stuffed full of clothes. ¡°¡­¡­ I seem to have been hacked?¡± [What hacker would buy you clothes?? You go make him hack me.] Yu Yan was just about to go find customer support when he heard the person next to him say, ¡°I bought it.¡± It was only then that he remembered that his Steam ount had been directly saved on thisputer. He didn¡¯t pay any attention to the barrage, and just turned his head to say in surprise, ¡°Why all of a sudden¡­.These clothes are too expensive.¡± The clothes in this game were more expensive than those found in games whose entire selling point was to change outfits! In fact, it wasn¡¯t all of a sudden. Yi Chen had wanted to buy these for him since a long time ago. Not because of any specific reason, but just that he wanted to offer up everything that Yu Yan could use and deliver it right into his hands. Whether he liked it or not and whether he wore it or not, was all up to him. However, Steam¡¯s remote login protection had been the long-standing hindrance to him in this, and only today had he managed to lift the restrictions on him buying things for Yu Yan. [Today, I finally saw what they call the world of rich people. I¡¯m so jealous.] [Is it the first day for the one before in this livestream? I¡¯m already numb to it.] [Expensive? Sorry, there¡¯s no such word in Boss 1¡¯s dictionary.] ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Yi Chenughed and said, ¡°Expensive is also fine¡­ After all, no matter what hardships you suffer through, you can¡¯t let children suffer through them.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Yesssss, it was all a misunderstanding! And Mother Yi seems really excited to meet her son¡¯s partner! And it¡¯s really sweet that Yanyan wants to help out at the welfare home. Please check out and support the raws if you can!

Edited by Noks Yu Yan had originallye to Jincheng to celebrate Yi Chen¡¯s birthday, and had wanted toze around for three or five days before leaving again. Yet, he unwittingly ended up staying in Jincheng for more than a month, watching as Yi Chen slowly grinded the days from the end of the year to his now-approaching annual leave. That day, Yu Yan had just woken up when he received a call from Lu Xiuhe. ¡°You¡¯re still in Jincheng?! It¡¯s almost New Year¡¯s, what day do you n toe back on ah?¡± There were mouse-clicking soundsing from Lu Xiuhe¡¯s side, so he had probably gotten up early to y games. ¡°My dad has been constantly asking me about when during the New Year¡¯s you¡¯lle by to pay a visit. You¡¯ll have to decide early; if you wait any longer, the tickets will only get more expensive.¡± Yu Yan ate breakfast and said, ¡°I may not return to Manyang for New Year¡¯s this year.¡± Lu Xiuhe was startled. ¡°If you¡¯re noting back, where are you nning on going¡ªit can¡¯t be that you¡¯re going to spend New Year¡¯s with Boss 1 ba?¡± Yu Yan let out an ¡°en¡± and said, ¡°¡­I should be.¡± Lu Xiuhe grew quiet for a bit, before suddenly lowering his voice and asking, ¡°Xiao Yan, is Boss 1 beside you?¡± Yu Yan nced at the person sitting on the not-so-far-away sofa and unconsciously lowered his voice as he replied, ¡°He can¡¯t hear us. What¡¯s the matter?¡± If it had been before, Lu Xiuhe definitely wouldn¡¯t have been able to even imagine the rtionship between these two people as being that of more than friends. However, ever since he had opened the door to a new world, he was frankly clearly aware of it. ¡°How long have you two been together for ah, and you¡¯re already going to spend New Year¡¯s with him? What about his family, have you met them?¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Xiao Yan, it¡¯s not that I¡¯m just saying that casually¡­you can tell at a nce that Boss 1¡¯s family circumstances are really good. Although we¡¯re also not badly-off, after all, we¡¯re still from small, humble families, we¡¯re just ordinary people. Also, you guys are the same sex¡­ I¡¯m afraid his family will look down on you, bully you, and force you guys to break up!¡± The more he spoke, the more excited Lu Xiuhe grew. ¡°It¡¯s okay, Xiao Yan, if they really look down on you¡­The pendulum always swings back, don¡¯t bully the youth when they¡¯re poor! When you be the pir of livestreaming, just let them regret it ba!¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s worries weren¡¯t unreasonable. It wasn¡¯t that Yu Yan hadn¡¯t thought about this matter, but he didn¡¯t n to run away from it just because he was afraid. ¡°Have you read too many novels where people have called off their engagements?¡± Yu Yan chuckled and said, ¡°And if they really don¡¯t like me, even if I became the pir of livestreaming, they wouldn¡¯t regret it.¡± Lu Xiuhe replied, ¡°¡­that¡¯s true. No, I don¡¯t mean that, I¡¯m just afraid you¡¯ll suffer grievances.¡± ¡°I¡¯m an adult man, what grievances can I suffer?¡± Yu Yan assured him, ¡°Don¡¯t worry ba, it¡¯s fine.¡± Just after he hung up the phone, the person on the sofa raised his eyes and asked him, ¡°What calling off engagements, and suffering what grievances?¡± His hearing was too sharp. Yu Yan said, ¡°Nothing, you still haven¡¯t left for work??¡± ¡°Leaving.¡± Yi Chen got up and put the newspaper on the side. ¡°I¡¯ll be back early today. Let¡¯s go out.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Yu Yan picked up the empty te and stood up. ¡°What are we going to do? Have dinner?¡± ¡°Go to the gym.¡± ¡°?¡± Yu Yan stopped in ce. ¡°You¡¯re sitting in front of theputer every day; it¡¯ll be good for your health to get some exercise.¡± Yu Yan would usually also go out to exercise every once in a while, but that was just limited to jogging, and he also wouldn¡¯t do it for too long. He counted running around theke located behind his house a few times as exercise. This would be the first time ever that he would be officially going to a gym to exercise. They went to a residential gym, where only those staying in themunity could enter. When they entered it, they found no one else there, except for the one manager manning the front desk. They had changed into simple T-shirts and had rolled up the sleeves for convenience. Yu Yan ran on the treadmill, wiping his sweat from his brow continuously while stealing looks at the person beside him. The lines outlining Yi Chen¡¯s muscles were really eye-catching; he didn¡¯t have that kind of exaggerated muscture, and every undting curve was just right. Feeling his gaze, Yi Chen stopped his actions, ¡°Tired?¡± They had only just arrived here not too long ago, so how could Yu Yan even dare to say he was tired? He simply gasped for breath and shook his head. 40 minutester, Yu Yan couldn¡¯t run anymore. He usually didn¡¯t exercise much, and now that he had suddenly increased his amount of exercise, it had be really unbearable. On the other hand, Yi Chen, who was by his side, was very quietly heading towards the next fitness equipment. Yu Yan¡¯s legs were already feeling a bit weak, but he still didn¡¯t stop. He had only worked out for half an hour, and he felt that to already reach such a state in this short amount of time was a bit shameful. Yi Chen, aware of the other person¡¯s tiredness, nced up at the clock on the wall. Only after counting away exactly five more minutes did he get up and go to him, to give him a way out. ¡°I¡¯m going to do some sit-ups,e count for me?¡± Yu Yan was stunned. He repeatedly hurried to press the pause key on the treadmill and gasped, ¡°¡­okay.¡± Yu Yan sat cross-legged next to the equipment, holding a cup of water in his hands as he counted out the number of sit-ups for him seriously. After a while, Yi Chen didn¡¯t get up after lying down again. Hey on the mat and gasped while looking at Yu Yan, ¡°How many?¡± ¡°127.¡± Yu Yan couldn¡¯t help adding, ¡°¡­you¡¯re really strong.¡± During this entire duration that he had stayed in Jincheng, Yi Chen hadn¡¯t exercised very much either. So howe their physiques were as different as heaven and earth? ¡°Not strong, I haven¡¯t done it for a long time.¡± Yi Chen turned his head, his eyes shining as he requested, ¡°Yanyan, give me a hand. Too tired to get up.¡± Yu Yan let out an ¡°oh¡± and grabbed his hand. As soon as he was ready to pull the other person up, he was instead dragged back by that person. He fell directly onto Yi Chen¡¯s body. He was startled. Fortunately, he hadn¡¯t used too much strength, otherwise, the fall would have been pretty bad. He had not yet recovered from his shock and asked, ¡°What are you¡­¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t say anything. He just pressed him down by his neck, and then their lips touched. They had just finished exercising, so it couldn¡¯t be said that they smelled good. Yu Yan could clearly smell the scent of Yi Chen¡¯s sweat, and the pheromones of a mature man instantly stimted his senses. Yu Yan got absorbed into the kiss, but less than half a minuteter, he sat up abruptly and lowered his voice as he said, ¡°There¡¯s someone at the front desk¡ª¡± Yi Chen nced behind him. ¡°He didn¡¯t see anything.¡± Only the two of them were in the gym, and with suchrge movements, how was it possible that they hadn¡¯t been seen? When the front desk manager heard that, he immediately lowered his head. With sweat-soaked clothes and no way to wear a coat, they would freeze if they left like this, so the two people took a shower before leaving the gym. As they walked, they discussed what to eat for a while. When they got to the door of their house, they found a car parked there. A sexy blue sports car. With two big bags in his hands, Mo Nancheng was standing at the door and looking around, but he didn¡¯t ring the doorbell even after standing there for a long time. ¡°¡­¡­ Cheng Ge?¡± Seeing that Yi Chen wasn¡¯t reacting, Yu Yan had to open his mouth and greet him instead. Mo Nancheng was stunned, turned around, saw them, and then started looking embarrassed. ¡°Xiao Yan? Where did you guys go?¡± Yi Chen¡¯s voice was as calm as usual as he asked him, ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°Oh,¡± Mo Nancheng said, holding up the bags in his hands, ¡°¡­I¡¯m here to treat you to a meal.¡± Mo Nancheng knew that Yu Yan had recently started living in Yi Chen¡¯s house, and it was only because he knew that that he even dared toe here. If Yu Yan hadn¡¯t been present, he felt that he may not have even been able to step in through the door. Because of the loose packaging, some of the soup started spilling out. Yu Yan took hold of the bag and said, ¡°Give it to me ba, I¡¯ll get a te to hold it.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll help you,¡± said Yi Chen. ¡°No need, not much has spilled out. It¡¯ll be enough for me to handle it.¡± Yu Yan went to the kitchen, while Yi Chen turned to go back to the bedroom, at which point, Mo Nancheng hurried to stop him. ¡°Yi Chen, wait.¡± Yi Chen stopped and turned his head. His expression was as usual as he asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Yi Chen, I¡ªI just came to apologize to you.¡± Mo Nancheng clenched his teeth and said everything he wanted to, all in one breath, ¡°I was in a bad moodst time, and I didn¡¯t really guard my tongue. Don¡¯t argue with me anymore.¡± Yi Chen heard him and only answered back with a faint ¡°en.¡± Mo Nancheng wilted but didn¡¯t give up. ¡°What I said at that time was all nonsense, don¡¯t take it to heart. If you¡¯re really unhappy, you can curse me out bei. If that¡¯s still not enough, and if worstes to worst, you can even beat me up, and I definitely won¡¯t fight back.¡± Yi Chen frowned and didn¡¯t speak for a long while. After this long silent pause, he said, ¡°What, haven¡¯t you beenughed at enough?¡± ¡°¡­¡­ I already said, I didn¡¯t really take what they said to heart,¡± Mo Nancheng continued, ¡°It was just a little bit at the beginning, and it kind of went to my head.¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t give any reply to this, and simply he turned around to leave. ¡°Hey, wait ah,¡± Mo Nancheng blurted out, ¡°The reason they said all that that day, was in fact because they are all jealous of you!¡± This statement actually sounded quite novel. Yi Chen stopped and raised his eyebrows. ¡°Jealous of me?¡± ¡°Yeah, and jealous of me.¡± Mo Nancheng exined, ¡°You are the most promising one in our group. The rest of us all have to work under our own elders, but you are different. You manage yourpany all on your own, and you even made it boom¡­ They listen to their parents praise you every day, and that¡¯s obviously what makes them so unhappy.¡± ¡°They think I¡¯ve learned a lot from you, so how can they not be jealous of me? But I¡¯m just an idiot, and so rushed in to vent all of my anger on you¡­¡± Listening to here, Yi Chen interrupted him, ¡°Enough, don¡¯t include yourself in your curses as well.¡± Mo Nancheng said, ¡°I¡¯m not cursing myself out, I¡¯m just stating the facts. So talk ba, how can you be mollified, and can we still remain bros?¡± Yi Chen remained silent for a long time before saying, ¡°I¡¯m not angry.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± He had definitely been angry, but a long period of time had passed since that incident, so he wasn¡¯t really angry anymore. Yi Chen had known Mo Nancheng for so many years, and Mo Nancheng had never had such a falling out with him before, so after that incident, he had also reflected on himself. He spoke few words, never took the initiative in making ns, and rarely shared anything about himself. In any case, he wasn¡¯t quite up to the standard of being a good friend. Yi Chen said, ¡°Why continue being my friend when you get no benefits and you even getughed at?¡± Mo Nancheng was stunned and immediately refuted him, ¡°Bullshit! When I had just entered thepany, all of those people thought of me rising to my position on the basis of nepotism, and so looked down on me. It was all thanks to the things you taught me, and even though you don¡¯t say much, you still hit all the main points, which was more effective than all the shoddy lessons I had taken before.¡± ¡°Of course, that¡¯s not why I¡¯m your friend.¡± Mo Nancheng scratched his head. ¡°Yi Chen, I¡¯ve always looked up to you¡­Really. I always wonder how you¡¯re so formidable. Everyone learned pretty much the same thing, but you¡¯re the most intelligent among us all. That¡¯s probably your innate ability. I¡¯ve always felt lucky to be your friend.¡± Yi Chen stared at him for a long time and asked, ¡°You¡¯re so good at saying these things right now in front of me, but howe you didn¡¯t curse back at those people when they wereughing at you?¡± ¡°How didn¡¯t I not curse back at them?¡± Mo Nancheng asked, ¡°I even waited until that person went to the bathroom to beat him up!¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Yi Chen doubtfully asked, ¡°Can you even beat up other people?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not stupid, I called some other people toe beat him up. You remember Liu Zhen ba? Last time during my birthday, he was the one sitting next to you, and he idolizes you a lot. Once he heard that someone said something bad about you, he didn¡¯t even have dinner before bringing his friends over¡­¡± Hearing about this method of calling people over to fight it out, Yi Chen wondered if he was still in primary school. ¡°Called what people toe over?¡± asked Yu Yan as he came out with a te in his hand, having just heard thest few sentences from their conversation. ¡°Nothing.¡± Afraid of corrupting little children, Yi Chen stopped the topic from going any further, turned around, and continued to walk towards the bedroom. Mo Nancheng saw his back disappear into the bedroom, sighed heavily, and looked back. ¡°Then Xiao Yan, I¡¯ll head back first ah.¡± Yu Yan was stunned and asked, ¡°Not staying for the meal?¡± Mo Nancheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. ¡°I won¡¯t disturb you guys¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯re already here.¡± The voice that sounded out from the bedroom wasn¡¯t cold or weak. ¡°Stay ba.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Hahaha, most of Yanyan¡¯s trip to the gym is eyeing Yi Chen eye candy I bet. And yay, atst the besties make up. Much better apology thanst time, Mo Nancheng. Noks: Ohhhh¡­. They finally made up!!! And Yanyan got a lot of eye-candy to ogle at¡­ hehe.

Chapter 103 - Not hiding Chapter 103 - Not hiding Edited by Noks During this period, Yu Minyang called Yu Yan several times. The contents of the call were nothing more than some discussions about the legal case,and also about wanting him to return home for the New Year. ¡°Your cousin has juste home for her vacation. You haven¡¯t seen each other in so long, so it¡¯s perfect that you guys can meet again during the New Year¡­¡± Yu Minyang spoke for a long time but didn¡¯t get a response. He asked again, ¡°Xiao Yan? Are you listening?¡± Yu Yan returned to his senses. ¡°¡­¡­ I¡¯m listening, please go ahead.¡± The phone callsted for more than ten minutes, but in the end, Yu Minyang failed to persuade him to return home. Yu Yan hung up the phone call and couldn¡¯t help but look at the time again. Father Yi and Mother Yi had returned home today. Yi Chen had gone to their house early in the morning, and still hadn¡¯te back yet. Knowing their family¡¯s situation, Yu Yan felt a bit worried, and found it hard to focus on things. Specifically, he¡­ When ying the game, he almost killed himself with his own frag grenade. [What¡¯s the matter, Xiao Yan, you exploded half of your own health away?? Quickly wake up! You¡¯re still running a quiz game ah!!] [After all, Boss 1 is not here. Everyone please understand.] ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m a little not-myself today.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°After this match, I won¡¯t keep running the quiz game.¡± At this time, his cellphone suddenly vibrated. Yu Yan felt startled and immediately picked it up to take a look. 1: En, returning home now. Only after Yi Chen left the Yi residence did he discover that there was an unread message in his phone from three hours ago. Yu Yan had sent it, asking if he was okay and about when he would being back. After replying, he got in the car and was just about to leave the old residence when a knock sounded on the car window. Outside the window stood a middle-aged woman, dressed in neat and ordinary clothes. She was an old servant, who had worked in the old residence for over 20 years. She could count as someone who had watched Yi Chen grow up and had also witnessed many things that had happened in the family. When the window was pulled down, it could be seen that the woman¡¯s eyes were red. She handed something over to Yi Chen through the window and said in a choked voice, ¡°Xiao Chen, this is my pickled sauce. It¡¯s your favorite, so take some bottles back.¡± Yi Chen took the package into his hands andughed. ¡°Auntie Man, this is too much.¡± ¡°I heard you wereing back today, so I quickly scooped these out.¡± Auntie Man recalled the scene of Yi Chen¡¯s reconciliation with his family just now and was moved. ¡°&#k2026;It¡¯s okay, there¡¯s still another person in your house, so it¡¯s fine. After you finish eating it, let me know, and I¡¯ll make some more for you. I¡¯ll even send it over.¡± Only after Yi Chen had the bottles of sauce ced securely did he leave the old residence. There was not much traffic on the road, so he sped home. As soon as he entered the garage, he saw Yu Yan standing at the small door leading to the garage. Yu Yan had heard the sound of the garage door opening just moments after he had ended his stream, and he didn¡¯t even take the time to turn off theputer before racing down with bounding steps. Yi Chen stopped the car, and as soon as he opened the door, Yu Yan couldn¡¯t help but move forward. ¡°Have you seen uncle and auntie?¡± Yi Chen stepped out of the car. Because there was another car parked at the side, there wasn¡¯t too much space by the garage door. He was only able to shut the car door after drawing Yu Yan closer to him. ¡°Saw them.¡± He asked, ¡°Since I wasn¡¯t here, what did you have for lunch?¡± How could Yu Yan be in the mood to talk about that? He looked up and asked haltingly, ¡°How was it, you didn¡¯t quarrel ba? Those matters¡­it¡¯s all been resolved?¡± Yi Chen smiled and replied, ¡°En. All resolved.¡± Yu Yan could finally steady his trembling heart. He took a long breath and said, ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Just as they were about to go inside the house, Yi Chen, who had taken only a few steps forward, suddenly thought of something. ¡°Wait a minute, there¡¯s still stuff in the car.¡± Yu Yan was closer to the car and turned around instinctively. ¡°I¡¯ll get it ba, is it on the passenger¡¯s side?¡± ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°A few bottles of sauce.¡± Yu Yan opened the car door and saw that, in addition to the bottles of sauce, there were a pile of packages filled to the brim under the back seat. He was startled and asked, ¡°What are these?¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and only then remembered the thing that had slipped his mind. ¡°Those are the presents they brought for you from abroad.¡± ¡°Brought for me?¡± Yu Yan froze. ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen came to his side and said, ¡°But¡­ You shouldn¡¯t be able to use any of these.¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t understand what he meant by that and also the reason for which Father Yi and Mother Yi had sent him gifts. He didn¡¯t know what to ask first. Seeing that the logos on those bags were all those of big brands, he nodded and asked, ¡°I really can¡¯t use them, so why did you bring them back? Do you need to send them back?¡± ¡°No need, leave it here ba. I¡¯ll ask Yi Ran to take it back next time.¡± ¡°We still can¡¯t just leave it all in the car, let¡¯s bring them in first ba. When Yi Ranes¡­¡± Yu Yan¡¯s words halted midway through this sentence¡ª Because he saw a faint sh of pink in one of the bags. He opened the bag and saw what was inside¡ªa pink one-shouldered bag, with its surface covered in fancy LV patterns, a long ck box with several lipsticks encased in golden yellow casings, and a white brand-name scarf, which should be for girls based on its style. Now he understood why Yi Chen said he wouldn¡¯t be able to use these things. These were all things that young girls liked. Yu Yan suddenly felt like he was choking on something in his throat and so couldn¡¯t speak for a long while. He looked into a few of the other bags and quietly put everything back. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I messed it up,¡± He said. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Stuff it wherever, it¡¯s all because she had to put it in my car. I won¡¯t me you for messing it up.¡± Yi Chen looked at his pursed mouth, stepped forward, and helped him in packing the scarf back into the bag. ¡°I¡¯m the one who forgot to return them.¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t listen carefully, and merely let out a muffled, ¡°Oh.¡± Yi Chen sighed and grabbed his hands, which were chaotically trying to put everything away, before saying, ¡°I already told them that you wouldn¡¯t be able to use this stuff.¡± Yu Yan paused and turned his head to look at him. ¡°Ah?¡± ¡°I already told them that the person I¡¯m involved with doesn¡¯t use such stuff.¡± ¡°¡­¡­ Ah?¡± Looking at his dazed appearance, Yi Chen simply said, ¡°They already know that you are a man.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡­¡­ Ah.¡± Yu Yan had gone into aplete daze, and he was so surprised that he couldn¡¯t even close his mouth. It took a while before he snapped out of it and said, ¡°You¡ªhow can you tell them that so quickly?! You guys just made up, why do you have to talk about these things¡­¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows. ¡°I didn¡¯t feel like there was anything to hide about this.¡± Yu Yan was so nervous that his heart started beating faster. He frowned and looked carefully at Yi Chen from top to bottom. ¡°They didn¡¯t hit you ba?¡± When Yi Chen heard these words, he couldn¡¯t help butugh before replying, ¡°No.¡± ¡°They said they¡¯ll bring another gift for you the next time they go abroad.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not necessary.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s face, which was a mass of worry, didn¡¯t seem to change as he absent-mindedly said that. After a while, upon realizing what he had just heard, he froze and looked up abruptly. ¡°¡­What did you just say?¡± Yi Chen watched his expressions go from surprise to delight, and couldn¡¯t help raising his hand and rubbing his hair. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, my parents are not so rigid in this respect. They¡¯re much more tolerant than you think. And taking ten thousand steps back, even if they couldn¡¯t ept it, I would still tell them about it.¡± ¡°Yu Yan, we¡¯re dating, and I have never intended to hide you.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: Aww, short but sweet chapter.

Chapter 104 - The End Chapter 104 - The End Edited by Noks In the early days of February, Yu Yan¡¯swyer sent a message saying that he had already contacted Feng Xiong¡¯s side. ¡°The other party doesn¡¯t n to hire awyer, so he should have already given up on the case. Our chances of winning the case are very high, so you don¡¯t need to worry about that.¡± When he got the message, Yu Yan had just started ying a match. He manipted the character with his hands as he replied, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ve troubled you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not trouble to get paid for my work.¡± Thewyer paused for a bit before continuing, ¡°But the other party has asked me many times about setting up a meeting with you. I¡¯ve heard that he¡¯s having to contend with several otherwsuits at the same time as this, and all together, it¡¯s be a lot.¡± Yu Yan raised his head to nce at Yi Chen, who was staring at the inventory tab in the game, as if considering which gun to use. Sensing his gaze, Yi Chen raised his eyes and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yu Yan shook his head and said to the person on the phone, ¡°When I need to sign the required documents, I wille back.¡± These words meant that there was nothing left to say, so thewyer nodded and replied, ¡°Understood.¡± After ending the livestream, both of them tidied up and went out. Ever since Yi Chen¡¯s annual leave had started, they had gone out almost every day, and if they weren¡¯t going to the gym, then they would go to eat, eat, eat. During this period of time, Yu Yan¡¯s weight hadn¡¯t changed at all, but he could obviously feel that his body¡¯s immunity had improved a lot. Specifically, no matter where he took off his clothes, he wouldn¡¯t catch a cold¡­ ¡°Going to the gym?¡± Yu Yan buckled up his seatbelt and asked. ¡°Not today,¡± Yi Chen said. It was rush hour, and there were some traffic jams on the road, which made people annoyed and perplexed. Both of them couldn¡¯t help but open the car windows to get some air. While they were waiting at a red light, Yu Yan heard a whistle from the left side of the car. He looked sideways. A small white car was parked beside them, and its passenger seat window was open. The woman sitting inside was winking at Yi Chen. Yi Chen nced out of the window through the corner of his eyes and quickly pulled his gaze back. It only took a nce to tell that this woman was an old hand in matters of love; she wasn¡¯t shy in taking action at all. When they looked back at her again, she had already held up her cellphone. On the screen of her cellphone were several big words¡ªLittle Gege, add me on WeChat. Before Yu Yan could see the words written on the screen clearly, his hand was picked up by someone. Yi Chen held his hand, raised it, and shook it towards the outside. Yu Yan was still wearing the watch he had coaxed him to put on his wrist, so however you looked at it, these joint hands were definitely those of two men. Then, right in the face of the woman¡¯s surprised expression, he closed the window and stepped on the elerator to leave. Although Yu Yan knew that Yi Chen wouldn¡¯t give his WeChat contact to anyone just like that, he still felt a little ufortable on the inside when he saw someone else chatting up his boyfriend. He said, ¡°We were so tant¡­ Will we be recognized ah?¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°What, afraid that if your fans know, you¡¯ll lose them? That¡¯s just the burden idols have to carry.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not an idol, where would this burden of idolse from?¡± Yu Yan chuckled, his grip on the other person¡¯s hand growing tighter. ¡°¡­.I¡¯m afraid of it affecting yourpany.¡± ¡°I run a regrpany, not something in the service industry.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Whoever I¡¯m with, male or female, is my personal business. It has nothing to do with thepany.¡± Yu Yan opened and closed his mouth a few times, wanting to say something, but then he suddenly saw that their surroundings had gone dark. Only then did he realize that the car had entered an underground parking garage. He looked around and was stunned. ¡°Why did wee to the supermarket, what do you want to buy?¡± ¡°En.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s tone was as usual as he said, ¡°We¡¯ve nearly used up all the condoms at home.¡± ¡°?!¡± Yu Yan¡¯s ears turned red in a sh. ¡°Couldn¡¯t we have just bought that at the regr supermarket?¡± Yi Chen held back hisughter, parked the car, and then pinched the tip of his ear. ¡°Teasing you¡­came to buy New Year¡¯s goods.¡± New Year¡¯s Eve was now nearly upon them. The New Year¡¯s gift market that would previously get set up on the streets had been banned for several years now, so the throngs of people squeezing into the supermarket could be called Spring Festival traffic. People were crowding against other people, and pushing a shopping cart through this throng was even more difficult, for thenes were even more blocked up than the traffic jam just now, and they couldn¡¯t even take half a step in any direction for a long while. These two people, who were now stuck in the middle of the crowd, nced at each other and remained in that spot for a long time. Yu Yan asked, ¡°What New Year¡¯s goods should we buy?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± said Yi Chen. Thus, they ended up lingering in every aislebeled with ¡°New Year Necessities¡± on it, and bought a little from each. At the end, they found that the store had temporarily installed shelves in the aisles, on which were hanging poetic couplets, red envelopes, and everything else that was necessary. Looking at Yu Yan¡¯s serious face, Yi Chen said, ¡°You¡¯re still young, you don¡¯t need to give out red envelopes.¡± ¡°I&#k2026;&#k2026;¡± Yu Yan paused and said, ¡°I have a little cousin in my family, I have to prepare one for her. There are also many children from the neighbourhood around my house, and I need to give all of them one.¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and said nothing more. He turned his back and carefully looked through the red envelope shelf. Finally, he picked out a packet of red envelopes with a simple and generous style and threw it into the shopping cart. After they got home, Yu Yan started to put up the poetic couplets. When he was a child, he would see his parents put them up, but this was the first time he did it himself. Yi Chen¡¯s house was a double-storied vi, and it wouldn¡¯t look good to stick too many inside. After a short discussion, the two of them decided to stick some on the gate as well. Yu Yan had just put them up when he suddenly heard a clear click. He looked back and saw Yi Chen holding up his cellphone. ¡°¡­What are you taking a picture of?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Yi Chen put his cellphone back and said calmly, ¡°Commemorating the asion, taking a picture.¡± ¡ª¡ª On New Year¡¯s Eve, the two of them moved their meal to the TV table. Yu Yan, sitting with his legs crossed and an iPad in his arms, was scrolling through his Moments and Weibo. After taking a bath, Yi Chen came out, dried his hair, and sat down beside him. ¡°You¡¯ve been holding onto your cellphone ever since you ended your livestream. What exactly are you looking at?¡± Yes, Yu Yan had still stuck to his livestreaming schedule even on the eve of the Lunar New Year. He had just ended his livestream two hours ago, and was praised by his fans as being a model worker in the Year of the Pig. Yu Yan didn¡¯t even turn his head around. He stared at the screen of his cellphone, a smile on his face, as he replied, ¡°Looking at my fans¡¯ messages.¡± Since the end of that trouble with Feng Xiong, his Weibo has attracted a lot of mama fans, and there were even some people who didn¡¯t y games in his fan group. Every day, they would send him some worried and caring messages on his Weibo. Although these were justments on Weibo, he would still feel warm after reading them, and so he began to look at his Weibo more often. [In the New Year, don¡¯t make headlines anymore. Sincerely wishing my baby son a healthy and happy Year of the Pig. Casually wishing you and your girlfriend 99 (reluctant).] [Did Yanyan go home ah? There are many bad people during the Spring Festival, and it¡¯s too dangerous for you as a boy to be outside. Be sure to pay attention to your safety!] [yanxyan, wake up! You¡¯re only 20! You must not get stuck on just one person!! There are plenty of fish in the sea, and maybe the next one will be better!!! Look at me!! [picture]] Usually, his fans liked to reply back to him with funny emoticons and memes, so whenever he saw a picture link in thements, he would reflexively click on it. A picture popped out. The girl had ck hair and cute facial features. She was pouting at the camera. Yu Yan was shocked and instinctively wanted to close it. However, before he could click to exit the picture, his neck was hooked, and his whole person was dragged over. ¡°You¡¯ve grown up, Yan Xiao Yan,¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t smile very kindly as he said, ¡°Even daring to open up a picture¡­Tell me which fish you want to stick to?¡± ¡°No, I thought it was an emoticon,¡± Yu Yan blurted out, ¡°I just want to stick to you here¡­¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t care whether he was unjustly using him or not. He didn¡¯t have any attention to spare for the hot pot ced on the table that they had worked really hard on for a long time to make, and instead, he pressed the person in his hands into the sofa and solidly kissed him for a long time. The sofa was long but not big. His whole body pressed into Yu Yan¡¯s body. With the two of them rubbing together like this, they pretty much showed an instantaneous reaction. Yi Chen hadn¡¯t wrung out all the water from his hair, so several drops fell on Yu Yan¡¯s body, which stirred him up into a state of excitement. ¡°No, we still have to do the New Year¡¯s countdown.¡± ¡°So it¡¯s fine after the countdown?¡± Yi Chen wiped the water that had fallen onto the side of his neck with the back of his hand and asked in a hoarse voice. Yu Yan said, ¡°¡­.still have to send New Year¡¯s blessings to elders and friends.¡± This was his habit. Although he hadn¡¯t celebrated New Year¡¯s before, he still wanted to have a taste of that New Year feeling. So, on the night of New Year¡¯s Eve, for the past few years, he would sit by himself in front of the TV, edit all the messages by himself and then send them out one by one. On TV, the Spring Festival G sketch program had started, and Yi Chen¡¯s cellphone started to buzz. He possessed only one cellphone number for both work and personal use, so every Spring Festival, he would be really annoyed by the influx of group messages and would asionally just switch off his phone. But after hearing what Yu Yan said, he didn¡¯t find it annoying anymore. He even sat behind Yu Yan, picked up his cellphone, and took a look at the messages he received. Mo Nancheng: In the Year of the Pig, Chengcheng is here to wish that things go your way and that everything goes well for you. Yi Chen: Thank you. Mo Nancheng: ? Mo Nancheng: Son of a bitch thief, you even dare to steal my bro¡¯s cellphone? Do you know who the owner is? You don¡¯t want to be able to celebrate the New Year next year ba? Yi Chen held his cellphone and thought that since they were celebrating the New Year, it would be better to not curse someone out. They ate their hot pot dinner very slowly, and by the time the people on TV were already getting ready to sing ¡®Unforgettable Tonight¡¯, there were still many ingredients left on their table. Neither of them could eat any more. Yu Yan, resting his head on Yi Chen¡¯s arm, said, ¡°The host of this Spring Festival G has changed several times, and the former female host who looked very happy isn¡¯t here now.¡± ¡°You watch it every year?¡± Yi Chen asked. ¡°En, otherwise there¡¯s nothing else for me to do to pass the time.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°Don¡¯t you watch it?¡± ¡°The TV will be on, but I don¡¯t watch it, I just listen.¡± At this time, a sudden sound of fireworks exploding came from the outside. Both of them were stunned. Yu Yan confusedly looked out of the window and caught thest burst of light from the fireworks. He froze and asked, ¡°¡­don¡¯t you guys have a fireworks ban here?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Yi Chenughed and exined, ¡°But there are many people who aren¡¯t afraid of paying the fines¡­ If you want to see some, I¡¯ll buy some for you tomorrow.¡± ¡°No.¡± Before Yu Yan could finish talking, fireworks flew up into the air again, adding countless bright colors to the dark night sky, making everyone¡¯s eyes explode in colors. ¡°We should abide by thew¡­ stealing a look at other people¡¯s fireworks is also pretty good.¡± This was the first time that Yi Chen had stolen anything of another¡¯s. It didn¡¯t feel bad. The countdown began on TV. As soon as he was ready to embrace Yu Yan, he saw him jump up, as if he had thought of something. Without even bothering to put on his slippers, he ran back to their room. In a few seconds, he ran back out again. The host smiled and counted, ¡°3, 2, 1 ¡ª¡± ¡°Yi Chen! Happy New Year!¡± Yu Yan ran to him and sat down, getting ready to take out whatever it was that was in his pockets. ¡°Happy New Year.¡± Yi Chen was faster than him as he took out a red envelope, and couldn¡¯t helpughing as he said, ¡°What are you running for? Not even wearing slippers.¡± Yu Yan stared at the red envelope in his hand and replied, ¡°I¡¯m already 20 this year, I won¡¯t ept red envelopes.¡± ¡°Even if you were 80 this year, I would still give you one.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s red envelope was very big and full, and had Yu Yan¡¯s name written on the back of it. The handwriting was vigorous and powerful, and looked very beautiful. The money in it didn¡¯t actually matter; Yu Yan wanted to collect and enshrine this red envelope for the rest of his life. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± He took it and then took out his red envelope from his pocket. ¡°¡­.then let¡¯s exchange ba.¡± Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and was just about to refuse, but suddenly realized that the red envelope in his hand didn¡¯t seem quite right. It wasn¡¯t thick, and because it had been hidden by its owner for a long time, there seemed to be a faint trace of a shape on the red envelope, indicating that there was something hard in it. Yi Chen took it, opened it, and upon seeing what was inside, his heart suddenly jumped. Inside were two 100 yuan bills, and cushioned between them was a ring. ¡°Last time, when I went to pick out the watch, I saw it¡­ I thought it was very good-looking, so I bought it as well.¡± Seeing that Yi Chen wasn¡¯t responding, Yu Yan gave a light cough and said in embarrassment, ¡°It cost a bit more than I had expected to buy the watch, so I couldn¡¯t afford a really good one¡­¡± Yi Chen interrupted him, ¡°You only bought this one?¡± Yu Yan instantly understood what he meant. He took out another ring from his pocket and said, ¡°It¡¯s the same style, I¡­I bought them together. There are also some words engraved inside, which can¡¯t be seen from the outside.¡± ¡°It¡¯s really not expensive. If you don¡¯t like it, it¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t wear it¡­¡± ¡°I like it.¡± Asplex emotions surged up inside him, Yi Chen repeated, ¡°I really like it.¡± Yu Yan let out a breath. ¡°Then that¡¯s good.¡± They didn¡¯t possess the romantic cells that other people had. Instead of asking each other to help them put on the ring, they bowed their heads and put the rings on themselves, making it seem as if they didn¡¯t want to wait for even a single second. ¡°This ring¡­¡± Yu Yan put on the ring and suddenly said, ¡°I won¡¯t take it off during livestreaming.¡± Yi Chen, who was feeling full of satisfaction as he looked at the ring, heard him say that, and then he raised his eyebrows. ¡°En?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just¡­ I,¡± Yu Yan licked his lips and dered solemnly, ¡°Yi Chen, I will not hide you as well.¡± Yi Chen was shocked, and it seemed as though he had heard more fireworks exploding. At this time though, the fireworks were in full bloom in his heart, making it bright and warm. ¡ª The clock passed 12 o¡¯clock and ushered in a new year. From 23:59 to 00:02, the mood of the whole country reached a new peak. After three minutes, peace quickly returned. Year after year, New Year¡¯s became less exciting, but the good thing about it was that the people you liked were still around. Usually, after people sent their New Year¡¯s blessings to each other, they opened social apps and continued to surf the web. On the first day of the New Year, at 02:39 a.m., Yi Chen suddenly renewed his Moments page, which hadn¡¯t changed for a hundred years. There was no written content, just a photo. It was of a young man¡¯s back. He was standing on his tiptoes and was smoothing out the wrinkles at the top of a hanging poetic couplet. At the same time, night owl stream followers who paid close attention to the livestream circle had scrolled to find a new Weibo post. [yanxyan: Happy New Year. [picture]] The picture seemed to be of the Spring Festival G on a TV set. Yu Yan¡¯s hand was ced in front of the camera as it shed a V sign, and the ring on his middle finger was very eye-catching. If you looked carefully, you could see that on the left side of the photo was another man¡¯s hand, wearing a silver ring of the same style. And under the illuminating light, it glittered faintly. ¡ª¡ªThe End¡ª¡ª The author has something to say: This is the end of the text. Thank you for spending a long series with me.

Chapter 105 - Extra CP (Zuo Zhen x Lu Xiuhe)-See youter! Bro! Edited by Noks The banquet hall was full of people toasting each other, and everyone was dressed elegantly and appropriately. Although they weren¡¯t as good-looking as when they used beauty filters on their videos, at a nce, they were still very eye-catching. Lu Xiuhe was sitting in his seat and holding his cellphone in both hands. He seemed a bit absent-minded. Today was StarTV¡¯s anchor g. Yu Yan had received an invitation, so Lu Xiuhe had managed to tag along as well. A few months ago, he would definitely have been jumping up and down with excitement, but today, he just felt extremely uninterested. He looked down at his cellphone, but the message he had just sent out had still not received a reply. To say out loud the great event Lu Xiuhe had gotten himself involved in in the year 2018¡ª that would be that he was just dating someone online. He didn¡¯t think there was anything bad about online dating. Even if it was just fostering a rtionship online, wasn¡¯t the person sitting on the other side of this specific Inte connection still a person? Apart from being unable to kiss and hug physically, it was no different from any form of ordinary love. So this online rtionship of his was being treated as his first real love by him. What¡¯s more, his little girlfriend, who was an older domineering Jie, was full of tenderness, consideration, and generosity; he really liked her very much. The reason he hade to Jincheng this time was also so that he could see her. Of course, he didn¡¯t have any dirty thoughts, but just felt that since the other party had very obviously not been in a good mood recently, so he wanted toe and keep herpany. Who would have known that because the other party was too busy, even though he had been here for so many days already, they hadn¡¯t gotten around to meeting even once. His cellphone vibrated, and he became so excited at this that he quickly snapped out of his meandering thoughts and pinned his eyes on his cellphone screen. It wasn¡¯t his little girlfriend¡¯s reply, but rather that group of cheap bros who hade to find him. ¡°Really you, what did you run off to Jincheng for when everything¡¯s all fine? There¡¯s nothing interesting over there. Come and see what we¡¯re doing. [picture]¡± ¡°Hahaha, he was just bored. We¡¯re going to go rafting tomorrow, you can just watch ba. We will take photos for you.¡± ¡°Dog He, tonight the dorm head is treating us, you¡¯ve really suffered a loss right now.¡± Lu Xiuhe opened the picture, and it was of a pub near his school. It was a quiet and cheap pub, very suitable for a gathering of a group of college friends. His interest peaked, he raised his hand, casually took a video of his surroundings, and sent it. ¡°Open wide your dog eyes to see where I, this lord, am.¡± ¡°??¡± ¡°Where is this? Did you go to work part-time as a waiter?¡± ¡°Waiter my ass, I¡¯m at the StarTV g. Xiao Yan brought me in.¡± ¡°Wtf? WTF! Is this true or not?¡± ¡°Holy crap, I also want to be bros with Yu Yan! You have to arrange a meeting for me when youe back this time!¡± ¡°Is Lulu there?¡± ¡°Does that even need to be said? All the top male and female anchors are here.¡± ¡°Daddy, I¡¯ll pack and bring your breakfast for the next month. Can you help me get Lulu¡¯s contact information?¡± ¡°Be a little more promising, if you¡¯re going to go get someone¡¯s contact info, get Tuantuan¡¯s! Is Grandpa Lu there? I¡¯ll help answer the attendance in your stead for a month!¡± Watching these people struggling to act like impoverished children, Lu Xiuhe finally felt that the g was turning out to be a little interesting. Male college students, besides having to either go to ss or skipping it, had nothing else to do, and so their dorm waspletely full of Inte addicted teenagers. In their spare time, everyone loved watching livestreams, and so their familiarity with anchors was more than that than with celebrities. Within a short while, he received several private messages, all of which were asking him to help that person get some anchor¡¯s or the other¡¯s contact information. If that was no good, then getting a picture of the real person was also fine. His friends had already gone to such extents to ask, so of course, he couldn¡¯t refuse their requests. Anyway, he wouldn¡¯t ever meet these anchors again after the g was over, so having the cheek to ask for their contact information was really nothing. Lu Xiuhe had dressed up a little today. He wore a suit, and had even spent some time on styling his hair. The normally bubbling-over-with-vitality college student had suddenly changed. He had starry, handsome eyes, but also contained a little bit of the imposing presence of a little wolfhound. He had always been good at talking, and so half an hourter, he had managed to obtain the WeChat information of the anchors sitting on his left and right. He sent the WeChat ount details over to his friends. ¡°I got them, but it¡¯s still useless even if you guys go and friend them. These girls have a lot of stream followers on their WeChats, so even if you pass the verification, they might not respond to you guys.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t understand. Having the contacts of a few female anchors in your WeChat, it¡¯s cool to just say that.¡± That was true, the happiness of pure male college students depended on something just that simple. His little girlfriend still hadn¡¯t replied to his message yet. He was just about to send another emoticon when he heard the female anchor sitting on his left smile and ask him, ¡°Did you add my WeChat yet? Why didn¡¯t I get the friend request ya?¡± Lu Xiuhe was stunned and a little embarrassed as he quickly replied, ¡°¡­I¡¯ll add it now.¡± He was just burying himself in WeChat when he suddenly heard amotion spout up around him. As soon as he looked up, he waspletely entranced by the sight of a head of pink hair by the door. Pink hair was already very eye-catching, let alone the fact that it was a man who was sporting this hair color. A ck suit paired with pink hair, originally, it wouldn¡¯t have looked quite right, but because of the other party¡¯s deep and delicate facial features, it gave off a slightly different taste. Lu Xiuhe was a man as straight as steel, but even he could tell that the other man had put on some makeup. The color on his mouth was very deep, but he didn¡¯t look feminine at all. He was tall, slim, and with his long straight legs, walked neither too fast nor too slow down the hall. ¡­¡­ This pink haired guy was a little too handsome ba. Lu Xiuhe was still lost in such thoughts when he saw that pink haired guy suddenly raise his eyes and meet his gaze. His originally careless eyes instantly seemed to focus, and even his footsteps slowed down a bit. A sudden sense of familiarity bloomed in his mind. Lu Xiuhe froze, but before he could carefully think deeper into it, the other party shifted their gaze and passed by him bearing a very indifferent attitude, as if their locked gaze just now was just a delusion on Lu Xiuhe¡¯s part. ¡°Zuo Zhen¡ªhe actually really came?!¡± The female anchor next to him eximed, ¡°I thought it was just an online rumor¡­ My God, he¡¯s too handsome in person ba?! I¡¯ll try to find him for an autographter, do you think it¡¯ll be okay?¡± Hearing such heatedmentse from the people nearby, Lu Xiuhe became a bit curious and turned his head to ask, ¡°Zuo Zhen? Is he an anchor too?¡± Hearing this, the female anchor looked at him in total astonishment. ¡°You don¡¯t even know Zuo Zhen? The group leader of the Pz group ah.¡± Only after listening to this female anchor exin for a long time did Lu Xiuhe realize that Pz was a male idol group. He may know some female celebrities, but male idols were really aplete blind spot in his knowledge. Due to this topic being brought up, he suddenly remembered ate-night dormitory chat from some time ago, that he had had with his upper bunkmate, who had been crazilyining about some Chinese male idol group, saying that the guys in the group put on even more makeup that female celebrities, and if they wore female clothes, it would be difficult to tell if they were a guy or girl. It had also been because only the group leader looked more attractive, that this bizarre makeup trend had started. Although he had no real evidence for it, Lu Xiuhe thought that the group his upper bunkmate had been ranting about must have been the Pz group. At first, he had felt that Zuo Zhen seemed a bit familiar to him, but after spending a long time thinking about it, he couldn¡¯t figure it out, so he just gave up. Just preparing to keep battling for the next female anchor¡¯s WeChat, his cellphone suddenly rang. Little Baby: Was just busy. What are you doing? Lu Xiuhe couldn¡¯t care less about getting some trashy WeChat now. Your Great Lord Lu: ! Baby! Your Great Lord Lu: I came with Xiao Yan to participate in the StarTV g. Little Baby: Is it fun. Your Great Lord Lu: It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s a bit boring. What about you? Have you eaten yet? Little Baby: With so many female anchors there, what could you be bored with. Your Great Lord Lu: How did you know? My table here is full of female anchors, but I don¡¯t know any of them. When this sentence was sent out, there was no immediate reply. ¡°Little Didi, what have you been doing stuck to your cellphone this whole time?¡± The female anchor next to him picked up a ss of wine and asked, ¡°By the way, I even forgot to ask, are you also a StarTV anchor?¡± ¡°Oh, I¡¯m not. I¡¯m a family member who was brought along.¡± Lu Xiuhe looked up from his cellphone. Anchors who could bring along a family member to the g weren¡¯t small anchors. Besides, this little Didi was very handsome and sunny. The female anchor raised her eyebrow and clinked her ss against his. ¡°Like that ah. Is your family member male or female ya?¡± ¡°Male.¡± Lu Xiuhe had never experienced stage fright. If someone dared to clink sses with him, he would dare to drink. After drinking most of the contents of his ss, he said, ¡°In fact, he¡¯s not a family member, he¡¯s a friend. He came to Jincheng alone and had no one to bring, so he brought me with him to even out the numbers.¡± Although Lu Xiuhe hadn¡¯t dated anyone seriously before, since he was voluble and easy to talk to, he was always a lively character in his group of friends, and parties without him would seem less interesting. So, within a short time, he managed to greatly amuse the female anchor, and her favorable impression of him was steadily rising. When the other anchors around them heard their conversation, they also drew up closer to chat, and would drink a few mouthfuls of wine from time to time. Their table actually became the most lively table around. Lu Xiuhe chatted and chatted, and then took another sip of wine. He had a good level of alcohol tolerance and seldom got drunk. This amount of alcohol right now wasn¡¯t even worth mentioning, but once he started drinking, he would be more excited and talkative. A little whileter, he had even started chatting and discussing about the afterparty happening after the banquet with the people around him. Right after he figured out the location of the afterparty, a heavy thud was heard, which came from the female anchor¡¯s bag falling to the ground. When Lu Xiuhe saw that it had fallen down, he bent without thinking and said, ¡°Let me help you pick it up¡­¡± Yet, as a result, the other party also stooped down at the same time. She was wearing a sleeveless dress with a low neckline, and in this specific position, as long as Lu Xiuhe looked up, he would be able to see a whole lot. However, Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t react in time. As soon as he was about to grab the bag, he felt his cor being grabbed harshly, and then he was dragged up¡ª¡ª ¡°Wtf?!¡± Lu Xiuhe was startled by this strength and didn¡¯t care about looking up and into anything anymore. As soon as he was forced to sit straight, he turned around to see who was so powerful. The pink haired guy was standing behind him, expressionless, with his eyes even exuding coldness. The people at the table were shocked when they saw his presence at their table. No one spoke, and Lu Xiuhe became even more confused. Just as he opened his mouth to ask, the other side spoke first¡ª ¡°Youe out with me.¡± ¡ª¡ª Zuo Zhen¡¯s manner made Lu Xiuhe have the delusion of being in a dream of being back in junior high. Back then, everyone was young and energetic, and if you weren¡¯t happy with someone, you could set up an appointment to fight it out. ¡°Don¡¯t leave after school¡± and ¡°Youe out with me¡± were all the opening phrases used for setting up a fight. But this was the first time he and Zuo Zhen had met ah, so setting up a fight¡­ it couldn¡¯t really go as far as that ba? On the way down the hall, they came across fewer and fewer people the further they walked, and at the end, there were only two possible paths¡ªthe emergency exit or the bathroom. These were all great ces to start up a fight in!! He and Zuo Zhen wereplete strangers; whether Zuo Zhen wanted to force him to go run twops through the emergency exit or whether he wanted to force him to go to the bathroom, none of these options seemed fucking reasonable ah? Lu Xiuhe finally couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Dude, did youe to find me for something? If there¡¯s something, then let¡¯s just talk about it here ba.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no way to say it here.¡± Zuo Zhen raised his eyes and said in a cool voice, ¡°Get in.¡± Lu Xiuhe was about to ask what matter there was between the two of them that couldn¡¯t be said out here when he saw two girls passing by. They had recognized Zuo Zhen and were excited, so had headed towards them to get his autograph as soon as they saw him. He had forgotten, pink-haired guy was a little celebrity. Although he didn¡¯t pay attention to stars, he also knew that stars were more afraid of facing trouble than ordinary people. Forget about getting into a fight, even if their voices were a bit loud, it could lead to gossip about them being spread around. Lu Xiuhe¡¯s mind was in aplete mess, and it wasn¡¯t until he heard a ¡°bang¡ª¡± that he returned to his senses and realized his terrible problem with his surroundings. He had actually gotten into a bathroom stall with Zuo Zhen. ¡­¡­ And Zuo Zhen had even locked the stall door? Even though the bathrooms smelled nice in this upscale hotel, it was still an ufortable ce to be in. Especially because the space in the stall was narrow, and so the two people were forced to stand very close to each other. Lu Xiuhe could even smell some of the cologne the other side was wearing. He said, ¡°No¡­ what exactly is going on ah?¡± Zuo Zhen stared at him for a long time and then asked, ¡°Was it interesting chatting with female anchors?¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± ¡°?¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s mouth ran faster than his brain. ¡°It¡¯s very interesting ah¡­¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s face sankpletely, and it took a long while before he spat out two words, ¡°g man.¡± ¡°???¡± Lu Xiuhe nearly looked like he had the word ¡°wronged¡± engraved at the top of his head. He hadn¡¯t even held a girl¡¯s hand yet, how was he suddenly being linked to the words ¡°g man¡±?! ¡°No, celebrity Dage, how am I a g?¡± Lu Xiuhe thought for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly went wide as he asked, ¡°It couldn¡¯t be that you and that female anchor¡­ you guys have that kind of a rtionship?¡± After having said that aloud, Lu Xiuhe thought that this conjecture of his was looking more and more reasonable. He raised his hands. ¡°I just said a few words to that anchor; I didn¡¯t do anything else. Really, you can ask her if you don¡¯t believe me¡­ I also won¡¯t say anything about you two to anyone. Don¡¯t worry, I am very tight-lipped¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, the other side directly took action and mmed both of his hands against the wall of the stall. ¡°Wtf.¡± Lu Xiuhe was startled by this unforeseen action. He instinctively took a step back, bringing his back closer to the wall of the stall. ¡°I¡¯m trying my best to exin, what are you trying to start a fight for? You really want to fight? If you have the ability, then let me go, and we¡¯ll go out and fight ah!¡± Zuo Zhen closed in on him. Needless to say, but while this little pink haired guy looked handsome from a distance, he was even more fucking handsome closer-up. It was just that he was wearing a lot of cosmetics on his face, and the sparkly bling being given off by the eyeshadow on his eyes was too bright. You say, as a big man, what are you doing putting on all this garish stuff? He would definitely be a hundred times more masculine than he was now if he took off his makeup. You had tomend Lu Xiuhe for having a big heart; even in this scenario, he could rant a bit in his heart. Zuo Zhen said, ¡°You know me.¡± Lu Xiuhe replied, ¡°I don¡¯t know you.¡± Zuo Zhen affirmed, ¡°You think about it carefully.¡± Lu Xiuhe thought about it and understood. ¡°Know you, know you, I know youpletely. I¡¯ve seen your performances, and you sing pretty well ah. No wonder you¡¯re the group leader.¡± Zuo Zhen was in charge of rapping in the group; he never sang more than two lines. He frowned and decided to give him a hint. ¡°You have a girlfriend, an online one.¡± Lu Xiuhe was stunned. ¡°How do you know¡­¡± In the middle of the conversation, Lu Xiuhe suddenly shut up. Because he saw a small mole at the top of Zuo Zhen¡¯s forehead. He had seen that mole before, in a picture. To be exact, in a picture sent by his little girlfriend. At that time, he had thought that the person in the picture was her ex-boyfriend, so he had grabbed the picture andid waste to it. He had also cursed out that mole, saying that if the other party changed into a costume, he could even go y Guanyin. Seeing his reaction, Zuo Zhen¡¯s manner of speaking grew a little slower as he said, ¡°Think about it carefully again, what did you say before?¡± Lu Xiuhe took a breath and stared at him. ¡°You¡ª¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s eyebrows smoothed out a bit and he was just about to say something when¡ª ¡°Misunderstanding, misunderstanding ah.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°It¡¯s true I said you¡¯re ugly, but I can¡¯t just praise my current girlfriend¡¯s ex-boyfriend in front of her ba, dude.¡± Looking at Zuo Zhen¡¯s face gradually turning ghastly pale, Lu Xiuhe immediately added, ¡°Okay, okay, okay, you¡¯re not ugly, you¡¯re much more handsome than me¡­ Wait, you don¡¯t want to chase after Zhenzhen and get her back ba? I¡¯m telling you, it¡¯s impossible. She likes me very much right now¡­ Huh?!¡± Lu Xiuhe had been chattering away, but suddenly, he wentpletely dumb. His mouth had been blocked by Zuo Zhen. Using his own mouth. He felt a heavy weight on his lips, and suddenly Zuo Zhen¡¯s face was magnified infinitely, to the point where¡­ He could clearly make out every individual strand of the other party¡¯s ck and dense eyshes. ¡°¡­¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe stared at him with wide eyes, forgetting to even breathe, until Zuo Zhen¡¯s cheek moved slightly, and he neither heavily nor lightly sucked a bit at his mouth. ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°?! ???!!¡± Lu Xiuhe still remembered the funny gif that he had seen on Weibo some time ago. Two boxers were fighting for quite a while, when one of them suddenly kissed the other one. At that time, he had held onto the picture andughed and hehe-d happily for a long time. Unexpectedly, at this very moment, he had be one of those figures in that funny gif. It wasn¡¯t that bad kissing his current girlfriend¡¯s ex-boyfriend. Lu Xiuhe¡¯s first thought was: I¡¯m dirty. He soon came back to his senses and fiercely bit at the other party¡¯s mouth. He was full of energy when doing so, and could even taste the coppery scent of blood. Zuo Zhen groaned, and only then did he raise his head, but his hands continued shackling him in. The corner of his mouth had been bitten by Lu Xiuhe, and some blood seeped out. For some reason, he looked like a gloomy pervert from a movie¡­ But a hot killer pervert. ¡°Wtf¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe was both anxious and angry. He felt that all the blood in his body was rushing up to his head, and his face felt so hot. He cursed, ¡°Are you sick in the head ah?¡± Zuo Zhen had clearly been bitten, but his face was much more rxed. ¡°You¡¯re right,¡± he said. ¡°¡­¡­¡± Just as Lu Xiuhe thought to himself that at least this person possesses self-knowledge, he heard Zuo Zhen say, ¡°I really like you.¡± ¡°But you?¡± Zuo Zhen seemed to have thought of something, so he sneered, gnashed his teeth in anger, and continued, ¡°Hooking up with female anchors, making close physical contact with them, and not even returning my messages?¡± ¡°g man.¡± ? ??? Lu Xiuhe fell into a daze. He couldn¡¯t understand what Zuo Zhen was saying at all. ¡°And you said you felt bored? Why couldn¡¯t I see how you were bored?¡± Seeing that he wasn¡¯t talking back, Zuo Zhen continued to press him. Lu Xiuhe was still in a daze. He felt that things were not quite right. He had a not-so-good premonition and a particrly absurd idea pop into his head. ¡­¡­ Impossible, just impossible. He quickly calmed down and let out a hollowugh before saying, ¡°What are you even talking about ah¡­¡± ¡°Still don¡¯t understand?¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s gleaming ck eyes stared at him directly, and he said, ¡°I¡¯m not your girlfriend¡¯s ex-boyfriend.¡± ¡°I¡¯m your girlfriend.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Five minutester, they were still in the same position as before, only that Lu Xiuhe¡¯s hands had finally been freed. But he already had no attention to spare for running away from the situation now. He was holding the cellphone that Zuo Zhen had just crammed into his hand and was scrolling through the chat record on the screen. He was leftpletely speechless for a while. ¡°Why are you holding my girlfriend¡¯s cell phone?¡± ¡°I said, I¡¯m your girlfriend.¡± Lu Xiuhe raised his head and really wanted to refute him, but as soon as he met Zuo Zhen¡¯s eyes, he couldn¡¯t say anything. A popr idol, who was bored and had nothing to do, would actuallye to him and justy im to the identity of being his online partner. But why ah? He was so handsome, his stature was good, and he could even sing, so then why run online and be a catfish? And¡ªand even date him online?! Lu Xiuhe¡¯s mind waspletely nk. This situation was so fantastical that he didn¡¯t know what to do. If it had been someone else who had been cheated by a catfish, then there was an 80% chance that they would fight with the catfisher as soon as they met. It would be a ¡°Either you die or I will, and once it¡¯s done, I wouldn¡¯t even give you 100 yuan¡± kind of situation. But Lu Xiuhe couldn¡¯t quite bring himself to do that. Zuo Zhen was so handsome, and was also a little celebrity, so it wouldn¡¯t be good to beat him up. Besides, Lu Xiuhe thought he couldn¡¯t actually beat him up anyway. The most, most, most important thing was still that¡­ Lu Xiuhe wasn¡¯t quite willing to beat him up. Damn it, whether he was a man or a woman, the person in front of him was real, the two of them being sweetly happy together for the past few months was real, and the sincerity he had paid to the person on the other side of the screen was also real. ¡­¡­ What the fuck was this ah?! Lu Xiuhe¡¯s mind couldn¡¯t turn over anymore thoughts, so he simply gave up. He returned the cellphone, rubbed his forehead, and took a deep breath. Then he raised his head, and with a standard fake smile pasted on his face, he eximed, ¡°Fate that brings two people together really exists in life! In the future, we can still be bros!¡± He patted Zuo Zhen on the shoulder. ¡°See youter! Bro!¡± With that, he turned to unlock the bathroom stall door. Who would have known that before he could even turn all the way around, Zuo Zhen would pull him back. Zuo Zhen seemed to be a person who did not curse much, but he was really frantically angry now. He directly pushed Lu Xiuhe up against the wall of the stall and kissed him recklessly again, and then gnashed his teeth as he asked, ¡°¡­what kind of fucking bro do you want me to be with you?¡± ¡ª Juurensha: ¡­.so on one hand, Zuo Zhen, you really shouldn¡¯t be so pissed off and angrily kissing someone who doesn¡¯t really want to kiss you back right now! On the other, he is aplete jealous mess right now, although that doesn¡¯t excuse anything. And LXH, I don¡¯t think you¡¯re as straight as you im given how often you describe Zuo Zhen as handsome and also honestly, how well you reacted at first to the whole situation.

Chapter 106 - Extra CP (Zuo Zhen x Lu Xiuhe)-Zuo Family Army_Your Great Lord Lu Chapter 106 - Extra CP (Zuo Zhen x Lu Xiuhe)-Zuo Family Army_Your Great Lord Lu Edited by Noks The moment Lu Xiuhe saw Zuo Zhen on the same flight back to Manyang as him, he almost jumped out of his seat. After their encounter atst night¡¯s g, Lu Xiuhe had pretty much admitted defeat and run away. Later, Zuo Zhen had sent him a lot of messages, all of which were very short, consisting of just one emoticon or a punctuation mark. Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t reply to any of them, even though he had held his cell phone and remained awake until three o¡¯clock in the middle of the night. No matter how he tossed and turned, he couldn¡¯t fall asleep, so atst, he grit his teeth and sent a reply: I¡¯m flying back tomorrow morning. If you have anything else to talk about, bro, we¡¯ll chatter. After sending this, he immediately added: Anything else means matters like borrowing money and such. Just after he sent that message, he thought he was being pretty stupid. No matter how bad the situation became for Zuo Zhen, he would still be richer than Lu Xiuhe. After sending the message though, he seemed as if the big stone weighing on his heart had disappeared, and so, while still holding his cellphone, he fell asleep within two minutes. Upon waking up and finding out that Zuo Zhen hadn¡¯t replied, Lu Xiuhe was quite surprised. Along with this surprise came a slight feeling of difort in his heart. After all, in his eyes, the message he had sent meant telling Zhou Zen to never contact him again. After Zuo Zhen sat down in his seat on the ne, Lu Xiuhe took out his cellphone and checked it, all the while swearing in his heart. Sure enough, regarding flights from Jincheng to Manyang, there was only one such flight this morning. After the nended, he hurriedly took his luggage and quickly said goodbye to Yu Yan, and then rushed off the airne. He moved fast, for he was in a hurry to leave, but also, couldn¡¯t help looking back. He saw Zuo Zhen, who was wearing a mask, a pair of sunsses, and a hat, fully decked out, walking slowly behind him, with some strands of distinctive pink hair poking out of the hat next to his ears. It didn¡¯t seem like he was trying to catch up with him. Lu Xiuhe¡¯s dad had said that he woulde to pick him up, but he was still stuck on the road right now, so Lu Xiuhe had no way of leaving the airport for a while. He could only stand at the exit of the airport and wait. Turning around in his spot, he found that Zuo Zhen was also nearby. That person had already put on earphones, and was holding his cell phone and chatting with someone. He didn¡¯t even nce at Lu Xiuhe. ¡­¡­ It couldn¡¯t be that he had imagined Zou Zhen¡¯s favoritism towards himself? So he actually hadn¡¯te to Manyang for him? Zuo Zhen didn¡¯t look up from the beginning to the end, and Lu Xiuhe became more and more convinced that this conjecture made sense. Stars were so busy, and moreover, which one of them would take such pains over an online dating partner? However, hadn¡¯t that female anchor just said yesterday that the Pz group was very popr? Why wasn¡¯t there even a person here to pick him up? Although Zuo Zhen had covered himself up tightly, he was very tall and stood out in the crowd, which had attracted many people¡¯s attention. A few girls beside him were already nervously putting their heads together and plotting. Several times, Lu Xiuhe nearly walked forward to tell Zuo Zhen to go wait in the lobby. However, while he was still hesitating, his dad¡¯s car had already arrived in front of him. He kept standing still on that spot. Father Lu got out of the car, took his suitcase, and put it in the trunk. All through this, he kept up a stream of talk. ¡°Why are you in a daze? Get in the car quickly, I still have to go and check out some newly arrived equipment. There¡¯s something wrong with two machines, and we¡¯ll have to change the hardware.¡± Lu Xiuhe stuffily let out an ¡°oh,¡± looked away, and sat in the passenger seat. At the moment the car started, he couldn¡¯t help but look up and steal a nce at Zuo Zhen through the window. Zuo Zhen had, at some unknown point, already raised up his head. They looked at each other from afar, their gazes meeting through the window and the sunsses. Lu Xiuhe¡¯s heart leaped. He quickly looked away and didn¡¯t dare to look back again. ¡ª ¡°He Zi, hurry up and login, we¡¯re going to team up and y.¡± Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t even lift up his head, clicking his mouse very loudly as he refused, ¡°You guys y ba, I¡¯m not ying.¡± His three roommates exchanged nces with each other. ¡°Hey no, what¡¯s the matter with you? You haven¡¯t even been ying LoL these past few days? Have you given up on gaming ?¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°I didn¡¯t give up¡­ am just burned out for now. I don¡¯t want to y.¡± ¡°Cut it out.¡± The dorm leader clicked his tongue and said directly, ¡°Did your face-to-face meeting not work out?¡± Lu Xiuhe hadn¡¯t hidden the matter about his online dating; the whole dormitory knew about it. Lu Xiuhe¡¯s hands paused as he replied, ¡°¡­could count as that ba.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the situation? It couldn¡¯t be that she used a fake photo??¡± ¡°What nonsense are you talking about, do you think He Zi is the type of person who cares about appearances?¡± ¡°That can¡¯t be certain, you don¡¯t know how far these little girls will go now. Even their figures are bs, can¡¯t even let us live.¡± If it was just about a fake photo, that would be fine, Lu Xiuhe thought. He totally didn¡¯t care what Zhenzhen looked like. ¡°It didn¡¯t work out anyway, let it go,¡± Lu Xiuhe said. The dorm leader saw clearly the picture disyed on hisputer screen and was stunned. ¡°No, He Zi, you didn¡¯t get water in your brain in the middle of the night ba, what are you doing looking at this ah?¡± Lu Xiuhe had opened up the Pz group¡¯stest MV, which was for one of their singles. In the video, the man with pink hair was leaning against a wall, his chin slightly raised, his eyes disdainful and arrogant, and he was rapping smoothly. ¡°Nothing, just looking around.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Okay, you guys y your game and don¡¯t mind me.¡± After returning to Manyang, Lu Xiuhe had researched a lot of information about the Pz group. The female anchor really hadn¡¯t deceived people; the Pz group was really popr. The number of super fans on Weibo was shocking, and even a small matter like Member A¡¯s lyrics being two sentences longer than Member B¡¯s lyrics could be torn apart by fans all the way to making it onto Weibo¡¯s number one hottest trending topic. Only after researching all this did Lu Xiuhe remember that he had also scrolled through a lot of Weibo posts about Pz before, but because those men had all been dressed in garish clothes, he hadn¡¯t even bothered to take a second look at the time. Zuo Zhen was the most popr member in the group, with the number of his Weibo fans able topletely crush those of all the other group members. Only when he had reyed the MV for the 13th time did he finally realize that the dorm leader was shooting weird looks at him x3. Lu Xiuhe turned off theputer, turned around, and climbed into bed. He closed his eyes for ten minutes but couldn¡¯t fall asleep. He resigned himself to his fate, took out his cellphone, and rather easily and familiarly, went to Zuo Zhen¡¯s Weibo. Zuo Zhen¡¯s Weibo was very official; besides some notices and a few selfies, he didn¡¯t have anything else posted on it at all. Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t even know how many times he had already looked through it, and he always had to scroll through a hundred or so ads before he could stop browsing it. As he scrolled down the page, he assured himself that he didn¡¯t have any other intentions, he just wanted to be knowledgeable about the current circumstances of idols in China. After scrolling through quite a bit of the page, he clicked the back button and was about to exit Weibo when his attention was hooked by a trending search topic. #Pz¡¯s internal discord exposed# Lu Xiuhe pretty much didn¡¯t think about it before clicking into it. [Entertainment Gossip: #Pz¡¯s internal discord exposed# It¡¯s said that Pz¡¯s concert in Jincheng will be cancelled next month, because a member of the group who had upied the C position a lot solely on the virtue of his identity has finally aroused public anger, and the other members couldn¡¯t bear it anymore and also ced all their cards on the table.] Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t really understand the content of this post, so he just read thements. ¡°Hehe, the group leader has finally capsized. Every time I see him showing off his big face and boldly and self-righteously using his position as the team leader to stand in the C position for a new song, I feel nauseous. That pinkhead is just like a shuttlecock, and only empty-headed fans are able to close their eyes and cheer for him.¡± ? Pink hair? Team leader? The member of the group this person was fucking cursing out was Zuo Zhen?? A nameless fire burned in his heart, and Lu Xiuhe continued to scroll down thements section while frowning. He found that most of the poprments were pretty much cursing out Zuo Zhen. Obviously, this was just an obscure Weibo post, and was even one that no one was sure was true or not, but it was being interpreted by this group of people into carrying a hundred different meanings. They brought in their own prejudices against Zuo Zhen and created thousands of voluminousments, all against him. Only after scrolling to the end did he see thements of Zuo Zhen¡¯s fans. ¡°This blogger is so disgusting,ing in to nder Zhenzhen specifically. All thements supporting Zhenzhen have been deleted by antis. Since it¡¯s Spring Festival, there¡¯s nothing to say, but I can only wish the blogger¡­¡­ & %I#@le. :)¡± After reading through several hundred such threads, Lu Xiuhe had be so angry that his liver started to hurt. He suddenly remembered what Zuo Zhen had told him. Of course, he hadn¡¯t gone into any details; Zuo Zhen had never told him what his job was. He had only said that he was usually very busy, and that he had to carve out time for ying games. Most of the time he had used hisptop to y a few matches with Lu Xiuhe was when he had been on the road or during a halftime break. Zuo Zhen had also said that he had done other jobs before, but the sry he earned at the time couldn¡¯t support his seriously ill mother, so he had changed his job. Although the sry he received now wasn¡¯t low, he was busy and tired. He had said that he felt that he was working all the time, and that chatting with Lu Xiuhe had be the most rxing part of his day. He had said that he often encountered difficulties created by his colleagues at work, would be attacked both overtly and covertly, and also that he could not defend himself. He had said¡­. Lu Xiuhe couldn¡¯t think about it anymore. He sat up and aggressively opened the most poprment of one of the antis in thements section. Then he thought that doing so wouldn¡¯t be quite suitable; if hisment got deleted, wouldn¡¯t all of the words he typed have been in vain? So instead, he crisply clicked to forward the post. [Your Great Lord Lu: I¡¯ve been wondering why the mouths of your group of girls are so toxic? Does Zuo Zhen have the final say in the spot where he stands? Why don¡¯t you guys directly tear into thepany? If he really was this capable, I would think he would have just gotten thepany to directly get your idols kicked out of the group, after which he could finally get get some fucking peace.] That person replied quickly. [Idiot, everything I said is based on facts! And you, a big man, even like male idols? Are you disgusting or not ah?] [Your Great Lord Lu: What facts, send them out ah. If you don¡¯t, you¡¯re my son.] [Your Great Lord Lu: So what if I¡¯m a man? Why can¡¯t a man like Zuo Zhen? Have even fandoms now be sexist too? Also, I looked at your homepage, it¡¯s all just a pile of anti materials. If you run your mouth off, I¡¯m kindly reminding you that if you forward it more than 500 times, you¡¯ll be charged with defamation. It¡¯s going to be New Year¡¯s Eve soon, leave yourself a way out ba.] When it came to quarreling, Lu Xiuhe never lost. He sat up in his bed, desperately poking at the screen of his cellphone, and fought with the antis for 300 rounds. After tearing into them for a whole hour, he sessfully attracted the attention of Zuo Zhen¡¯s big fans. Lu Xiuhe failed to manage to react before he was pulled into the Zuo Zhen national fan support group. [Wee, wee!! Introducing everyone, this is Zhenzhen¡¯s male fan, the hero who has torn into X bitch for an hour!] It took Lu Xiuhe a long time to understand that the X bitch that the other party was referring to was the topmenter on that thread, and was a Zuo Zhen anti who was famous in this fan circle. [Holy shit, worshipping right now!] [Is this the fighting power of the legendary male fan?] [Lulu, how long have you liked Xiao Zhen ah?] It was toote to say that he wasn¡¯t a fan when he was already in their territory. Lu Xiuhe braced himself and typed¡ª [Your Great Lord Lu: ¡­.A few months ba.] [¡­¡­ Just a few months?] [Bing a die-hard fan just after a few months, this is true love ah! Lulu, don¡¯t worry, stanning our Zhenzhen can¡¯t be wrong!] Lu Xiuhe was just nning to say something, when the big fan spoke first. [Lulu, since you have entered the pit of Zhenzhen, you are now a member of the Zuo Family Army. You need to change your avatar and Weibo username. I¡¯ll send you the format, and you can go and change it ba. In the future, if the antis stir up any more trouble, we will inform you in the group.] Lu Xiuhe¡¯s Weibo was just a wastnd. A few years ago, he would still post some trivial things, but now, he basically didn¡¯t post anything, and it could almost count as being a throwaway ount. So it didn¡¯t matter if he changed his avatar or his username. Thus, when Zuo Zhen couldn¡¯t fall asleep in the middle of the night and opened Lu Xiuhe¡¯s Weibo, he saw that the other party¡¯s username had abruptly changed¡ª From ¡°Your Great Lord Lu¡± to ¡°Zuo Family Army_Your Great Lord Lu¡±. Super follower of: Zuo Zhen. The originally chubby penguin¡¯s head in the disy photo had also changed in a sh. Instead, it was now a big-headed, pink-haired chibi character, wearing a red cape on its body that had ¡°Zhen¡± written on it in big letters. That night, Lu Xiuhe continued attacking antis even in his dreams. He had just gotten to the ¡°do you know how hard he works?¡± part when he heard a harassing telephone ring, which pulled him out of his sleep. He didn¡¯t even open his eyes as he picked up his cellphone and asked, ¡°¡­Do you know how hard he works?¡± Zuo Zhen: ¡°¡­¡± Zuo Zhen was sitting in a dance studio and sweating profusely right now. He leaned against the floor-length mirror and asked anxiously, ¡°Lu Xiuhe, did you mean to do it?¡± Lu Xiuhe waspletely muddled and absolutely not clear on what was going on as he said, ¡°What did I mean to do?¡± ¡°Did you mean to make sure that I can¡¯t forget about you?¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s voice was empty and carried a bit of an echo. At this, Lu Xiuhe was startled, and then scared awake. ¡ª The author has something to say: The characters are not based on anyone! Not on anyone! Not on anyone! The fan circle was just me making up stuff! Made it up! Made it up! ¡ª Juurensha: ¡­.LXH, you know joining the fanclub of your ex-boyfriend isn¡¯t what someone who doesn¡¯t like him at all would do, right? And I¡¯m pretty sure ZZ went to Manyang just for you, even if he didn¡¯t try anything after trying to sit next to you on the ne. Please check out and support the raws if you can!

Chapter 107 - Extra CP (Zuo Zhen x Lu Xiuhe)-I’ll fucking murder him Chapter 107 - Extra CP (Zuo Zhen x Lu Xiuhe)-I¡¯ll fucking murder him Edited by Noks Lu Xiuhe hid in the bathroom and then covered the speaker in his cellphone with his bent hand, which made him look like a thief. ¡°¡­¡­ How do you have my phone number?¡± He blinked, thest of his sleepiness already disappearing without a trace. ¡°I mailed you something before,¡± replied Zuo Zhen. Lu Xiuhe remembered that two months ago, his earphones had stopped working, and Zuo Zhen had said that he would buy new ones for him, but he had refused to ept it. Later, Zuo Zhen had used the excuse of their uing face-to-face meeting to trick him out of his address and cellphone number. He had waited and waited for this face-to-face meeting, but in the end, had only received a pair of earphones worth four digits. ¡°Oh.¡± Lu Xiuhe scratched his hair and said, ¡°I was just sleeping. What did you want to say?¡± ¡°Who works hard?¡± Zuo Zhen asked. ¡°Ah?¡± ¡°What you just said, who works hard?¡± Lu Xiuhe almost immediately recalled the dream he was having just now, and only then realized how fast his mouth had been. ¡°No one,¡± he said awkwardly. ¡°I was talking in my sleep.¡± After this was said, the two of them fell into a strange silence. This was their first time speaking to each other after a span of many days. The people who used to talk for hours with each other before going to bed had disappeared from each other¡¯s lives, as if they had never appeared in front of each other. After a long while of silence, Lu Xiuhe took the lead in breaking it by saying, ¡°Um, what exactly did youe and find me for ah? It couldn¡¯t be that¡­¡± He hesitated for a moment before finishing his sentence, ¡°You came to me to borrow money?¡± Zuo Zhen could only hate the fact that he hadn¡¯t strangled Lu Xiuhe in the bathroom at that time, for then he wouldn¡¯t, in the middle of the night, be getting angered to the point that his temples were starting to throb. ¡°I¡¯m not short on money.¡± Zuo Zhen didn¡¯t beat around the bush with him and asked directly, ¡°What¡¯s the matter with your Weibo?¡± Lu Xiuhe went stupid for a bit, before bing flustered and then stuttering out his words, ¡°W-what Weibo?¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s tone sounded as heavy as death, ¡°Zuo Family Army, Your Great Lord Lu.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe really wanted to transmigrate back to a few hours ago and beat himself to death. Thinking of the chaotic fan propaganda he had reblogged on his Weibo and his newly-changed avatar featuring Zuo Zhen, Lu Xiuhe became ashamed enough to explode. Almost instantaneously, he drew up a n of attack¡ªto not admit anything even under the threat of death. ¡°What are you talking about ah, I can¡¯t understand you.¡± ¡°Your Weibo is linked to your cellphone number.¡± Zuo Zhen mercilessly punctured his wall of pretense. ¡°I found you through the address book.¡± What kind of dumb thing is Weibo?! Sooner orter, it will fail! Lu Xiuhe stared at the tiles on the floor and considered the feasibility of hanging up the phone directly. It¡¯s not like he could make an excuse by saying that he had identally fallen into the fanclub army, or say that he actually didn¡¯t want to help drive up Pz¡¯s new songs on the poprity list at all, let alone shift the me by saying that the Weibo username and things were all forcefully changed by the big-name Zuo Zhen fan, and weren¡¯t done out of his own will. Zuo Zhen picked up the towel on his shoulder and wiped at the sweat on his forehead as he ordered, ¡°Talk.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s brain turned very fast, and he quickly picked out some key points from what had really happened, and then exined, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s really nothing¡­ I¡¯m just someone who likes to get involved in drama, and I like defending people from injustice.¡± Zuo Zhen narrowed his eyes and said, ¡°Defend people from injustice?¡± ¡°Yes, I can¡¯t stand those influencer ounts maliciously ndering people.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Bro, don¡¯t take it to heart, this is just a problem that has resulted from my boredom. It¡¯ll all be fixed in two days when I¡¯m preparing for the big exam. Sorry if it brought you trouble ah.¡± Later, when he thought about it, he realized that some of hisments on Weibo were also very unpleasant. But he couldn¡¯t do anything about that; ming people was an art, and you had to respect that. It was obvious that those people who said stuff like¡ª ¡°what kind of a son of a biscuit are you¡± and ¡°stinky house¡± were just those who were ying at being hoodlums, and were not really ming people. He had a strong fighting capacity. Sometimes those stupid antis, who could tell that they couldn¡¯t outspeak him, would then just take all of his wordy maliciousness and curses and simply apply them all back onto Zuo Zhen. ¡°Lu Xiuhe, I¡¯m not your bro,¡± Zuo Zhen asked, ¡°Did you see an influencer¡¯s ount¡¯s Weibo?¡± Lu Xiuhe, who had battled countless influencer Weibos all night long, said in a muffled voice, ¡°Just¡­ saw one or two.¡± Of course, Zuo Zhen knew that his group had been up to its chin in swirling suspicions about the group¡¯s internal disharmony. The influencer ounts had been ndering about this issue everywhere recently, and that was precisely the mess they were currently in. ¡°Defending me from injustice?¡± he asked. ¡°Yes ah.¡± Zuo Zhen asked him, ¡°All of them say that I sell a good image of myself, throw my group members into pits, and collude with the senior management. Since you¡¯re so caring, why aren¡¯t you defending my group members from such injustice?¡± Lu Xiuhe pretty much blurted out, ¡°Because I understand you ah. You wouldn¡¯t throw your group members into a pit or collude with senior management, and also I can¡¯t see how you¡¯re selling any image this way ah¡­¡± Zuo Zhen held his cellphone as he asked, ¡°You understand me?¡± Lu Xiuhe froze, only now realizing that he had said the wrong thing. He said naively, ¡°Could count as¡­.a little bit ba.¡± ¡°Not even a little bit.¡± ¡°¡­¡­okay bei.¡± If you say no, then it¡¯s no bei. ¡°What do you understand about me?¡± He didn¡¯t expect Zuo Zhen to grow more serious and continue speaking, ¡°You didn¡¯t even know if I was a man or a woman.¡± This subject being brought up like that caught Lu Xiuhe off guard. He stared with wide eyes and blurted out, ¡°Wasn¡¯t that because you fucking tricked me¡ª¡± ¡°Yes, I tricked you.¡± He didn¡¯t expect that the other side would be so forthright and bold. Lu Xiuhe¡¯s bellyful of retorts suddenly lost all their purpose. Zuo Zhen asked, ¡°Who told you to not like men?¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe suddenly felt that Zuo Zhen was more unreasonable than his group of anti-fans. He couldn¡¯t cry orugh at such a question, and for a while, was at a loss of what to say. He could only reply, ¡°Then what can I do about that ah?¡± Now, Lu Xiuhe was already fully awake. He could feel his heart beating very fast, and he guessed that was all because he had been startled by the sudden ringing of the phone ringing just now. After he said that, the two of them fell silent again. It seemed that the person on the other end of the phone call had just finished exercising, and the sound of his breathing came across as steady and powerful. Somehow, although the person who had been tricked was himself, Lu Xiuhe was inexplicably filled with a sense of guilt, apanied with some emotion he couldn¡¯t describe. After a long time, Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°That fan support group, I will leave it, you¡­¡± Before he could finish this sentence, he heard a thump from the opposite side; Zuo Zhen had hung up. The window set high up in the bathroom wasn¡¯t closed. There was something wrong with this window in their dormitory. When it was closed, it rattled super noisily and could wake up all the people in the room, so they kept it open. Hence, in the middle of the night, the cold wind blew into the bathroom. Lu Xiuhe stood there, stunned, unable to believe that he had been standing here, in this spot, under this cold wind for such a long time, only to finally actually be hung up on. ¡­¡­ Back when they were dating, Zuo Zhen never behaved like this with him! During the times Zuo Zhen was buried with work, he would use fewer words to chat with him, but had never just gone through the motions with him. Even when Lu Xiuhe had gotten ill and had a cold, the other party had never said any nonsense about drinking hot water. Instead, he had hired a delivery person and paid him to deliver the medicine to him. When not busy, Zuo Zhen was really¡­ cute, often pestering him to send voice messages, wanting him to call him baby. Ever since their face-to-face meeting, Lu Xiuhe hadn¡¯t dared to recall the previous moments between them. It wasn¡¯t that he was afraid to face these memories, but that he was afraid that he would feel disgusted and repulsed. After all, he was an iron-and-steel straight man, and if anyone else were in the situation of having inexplicably been tricked into acting gay they would also fully object to it. But he didn¡¯t. Thinking back of the past, Lu Xiuhe still felt that Zuo Zhen was cute. A cold wind blew in, and Lu Xiuhe sobered up under this gust. His hands curled into fists, and he neither lightly nor heavily hit himself on the head a bit. ¡­¡­ How easy to trick you are, what¡¯s the difference between you and someone who¡¯s been sold and is even helping the seller count out the money? ¡ªLu Xiuhe cursed out himself internally. The next day, Lu Xiuhe turned the matter of quitting the group over and over in his mind. Quitting the group was a matter of just two clicks, but the reason why he was hesitating was¡­ because one of Zuo Zhen¡¯s big fans thought very highly of him. When he had woken up, he had received a series of messages on his cellphone, all from the big fan. [Lulu, wake up, this influencer ount started up again.] [Ugh, you joined at a bad time, recently it seems like these dog things have all made ns. They alle out and bite Zhenzhen; they can¡¯t be cleaned up at all.] [Your Great Lord Lu: There¡¯s another influencer ount ndering him? ndering him about what?] [They said that when he got a fracture, he sold his misery to suck up more fans, and they also said that the fracture was an excuse for him to bezy and go on holiday. Shit, these people really can make stuff up, as soon as they open their mouths, it just alles pouring out.] [Your Great Lord Lu: ¡­.Fracture?] [Yes ah, three months ago, while filming, he fell and hurt himself, which led to a fracture. I saw him being carried to the hospital with my own eyes.] Three months ago was the period when he and Zuo Zhen had been ying games together every day. At that time, Zuo Zhen had been in a really good mood. He had told him that he had gotten a long holiday and could finally apany him properly. Lu Xiuhe had even blindly given great thanks to Zuo Zhen¡¯spany. Lu Xiuhe held his cellphone tightly and resisted the impulse to dig up his chat records with Zuo Zhen. [Your Great Lord Lu: ¡­then was it serious ah?] [Of course it was serious, he had to rest for several weeks. You have just entered the pit, so you probably don¡¯t know ba, but Zhenzhen has suffered many injuries. During Pz¡¯s debut song, Zhen Zhen had a dance move that was very difficult, and they say he got injured many times during practice. There was a time where he knocked into something, got injured, and there¡¯s still a scar on his back from that. At that time, he had to be absent from a concert because of this, and so was attacked by anti-fans saying that he was acting like a primma donna, saying that he had hurt his other group members and that the lineup should be rearranged¡­ All in all, it was a very dark time.] [We didn¡¯t have much experience at that time. We were controlled by other people until we looked like fucking idiots, and we were so angry that we made a support group overnight. It took a long time for it to develop into its present scale and state.] [Oh right, you just said you had something to tell me, what¡¯s up ya?] After reading this long string of words, Lu Xiuhe bit the sausage in his mouth in half, crunching heavily on it. [Your Great Lord Lu: Nothing really, I just want to say that my Weibo ount was discovered by my family. It doesn¡¯t look good for me to tear into people all day on it, so I¡¯m going to re-register a Weibo ount, and so am just letting you guys know in advance.] [Your Great Lord Lu: What influencer ount was it that was ndering him just now? You send me the link, and I¡¯ll fucking murder him.] ¡ª The author has something to say: I¡¯ve written it to the point that I can¡¯t quite stop the car anymore. I¡¯ll try to finish Xiao He in another three or five chapters. ¡ª Juurensha: It¡¯ll actually be closer to 9 more chapters, but you guys are having fun, right? I know I am. Ahhhh LXH, you say you¡¯re super straight, but you still fondly look back on your memories with Zhenzhen and say he¡¯s cute, even if you know he¡¯s a guy.

Chapter 108 - Extra CP (Zuo Zhen x Lu Xiuhe)-Boyfriend and Ex-Boyfriend Chapter 108 - Extra CP (Zuo Zhen x Lu Xiuhe)-Boyfriend and Ex-Boyfriend Edited by Divetus and Noks Lu Xiuhe had miscalcted. He had told Zuo Zhen that he had created this problem for himself because he had been bored, and that he would be better when he had to study for exams. Yet, the result was that not only did he not get better, his behavior became even worse. In less than half a month, he had been promoted from an ordinary member to a moderator in the fan support group. Because of this speedy promotion, even the other little Meimei fans questioned whether he had taken advantage of his friendship with the big fan to get this position. All Lu Xiuhe wanted to say was that he also wanted to keep a low profile ah. But with his fighting strength, keeping a low profile wasn¡¯t possible. Anyway, the Weibo ount he was using now had been changed, so no matter how capable Zuo Zhen was, he wouldn¡¯t be able to find him. So, just continue being a moderator for now ba. But after ming people a lot for a while, Lu Xiuhe developed a bad habit. For example, today, after everyone¡¯s exams had finished, all of his roommates were discussing where they should go to eat in the groupchat. ¡°I¡¯m telling you, I was with Lao San and we ran into his goddess.¡± ¡°And then?¡± ¡°His goddess had her arms linked with her boyfriend and told him that she¡¯ll see him again next term. Lao San has now closed himself off, and keeps fussing that he doesn¡¯t want to eat lunch anymore. ¡± Lu Xiuhe let out a burst ofughter. Your Great Lord Lu: hhhhxswl. ¡°?¡± ¡°What does his goddess¡¯ boyfriend look like?¡± ¡°He¡¯s just that 1.9m guy from the neighboring ss ah, pretty handsome. He looks a lot like that trainee chosen by that video tform guy group on that variety show.¡± Your Great Lord Lu: 271, that variety show? Are you an anti-mood reader, Lao San is already this miserable, and you¡¯re still injuring him. ¡°??¡± ¡°No, He Zi, you look back at what you just said. Can you even understand it?¡± Your Great Lord Lu: dbq, I¡¯ve gotten used to it. I¡¯ll pay attention next time. ¡°¡­¡­¡± [Your Great Lord Lu has been banned by the administrator for 10 minutes.] That night, because they were going to go on vacation soon, just a few days after exams, his roommates forcibly dragged Lu Xiuhe back to Summoner¡¯s Rift. As soon as he logged on, the first thing that Lu Xiuhe did was look at his friends list. He mocked himself in his heart. The fanclub group had posted up a schedule today, and Zuo Zhen was ted to be involved in a promotional event all day today. He would definitely be way too tired after that, so how could he still y¡­. Zuo Zhen actually still fucking came online. Although Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t y this game that much, his ID had already been changed twice. It could be said that the more he tried to hide it, the more attention he actually attracted. However, Zuo Zhen¡¯s ID hadn¡¯t changed at all; it was still ¡°Little Fairy Wants A Hug QAQ¡±. ¡°Hurry up and join the party lobby ah, He Zi,¡± his roommate urged him. Lu Xiuhe let out an ¡°oh¡± as he moved his mouse to click on the party invite he got, but then, after a long pause, he instead moved his cursor away again. ¡°¡­No, you guys go ahead and y, myputer isgging a bit. I¡¯ll check what¡¯s wrong with it first.¡± After his roommates¡¯ concentration waspletely centered on their game, Lu Xiuhe silently right-clicked on Zuo Zhen¡¯s icon and clicked to spectate his current match. Lu Xiuhe said to himself¡ªI¡¯m just testing something. After all, LoL¡¯s spectating system has been glitching all year round. I just want to see if the problems have been fixed yet. The screen remained ck for more than 10 seconds. Just when Lu Xiuhe thought that he actually wouldn¡¯t be able to spectate the match, the screen suddenly lit up to disy the game loading screen. Actually managed to get in to spectate! As he was still on the loading screen, Lu Xiuhe took a rough nce at the champion lineup for the match. Zuo Zhen was ying Xayah. Previously, he had already thought Zuo Zhen was very good at LoL, because of the way he was able to y any role. But now that he thought about it, it made sense. After all, Zuo Zhen wasn¡¯t only an active idol, but also had the identity of being a former professional yer. He had even watched a video of apetition Zuo Zhen had previously participated in. A few years ago, Zuo Zhen¡¯s facial features hadn¡¯t been so profound, and had even carried a trace of childishness. He had looked more beautiful and less handsome than what he did now. Either ways, he had always been attractive. After letting his imagination run wild for a while, he moved his eyes away from Xayah¡¯s ssh art and nced at Zuo Zhen¡¯s teammates. He froze at the sight. This team¡¯s support champion was Rakan. Xayah and Rakan were champions that had been released at the same time; they were also a real, official couple. In the game, they had couple voice-lines and had been tightly packaged together and publicized back when they had been first released. But that didn¡¯t matter. The champions could be lovers, but it was alsomon to see yers attacking each other with those characters. What attracted Lu Xiuhe¡¯s attention was his Rakan&#k2014;&#k2014; ¡°Zuo Zhen¡¯s boyfriend¡± ? Lu Xiuhe picked up his cellphone and started to search this person¡¯s profile history, only to find that Zuo Zhen and this ¡°boyfriend¡± had been queueing together for three hours already, and that the two of them had been duoing botne the whole time. This dude had been ying support for Zuo Zhen for three hours? In their dorm, almost no one yed support. They all yed rock-paper-scissors in advance, and whoever lost would y support. Forget about ying support for several hours, if it was anyone else, they would¡¯ve already gotten tired of it. Lu Xiuhe suddenly felt as if acid surged up into his throat, and lifted a ss of water, guzzling down a big mouthful. Who would¡¯ve thought that the game suddenly finished loading, and the spectator¡¯s view was fixed on the bottomne. He just happened to see the scene of Xayah and Rakan embracing as they were recalled to base together. He nearly choked to death on that mouthful of water. Lu Xiuhe dully spectated for half an hour, watching Zuo Zhen y as the carry for the entire match. It was only after the opposite Nexus exploded that he absentmindedly quit spectating. His roommate saw him and then called out to him, ¡°Is yourputer good now? We¡¯re almost done here.¡± Theputer had frozen on the exit screen for the spectating view, and Lu Xiuhe¡¯s voice sounded especially weary as he refused, ¡°No, it¡¯s tooggy. I¡¯m not ying.¡± When he got back onto the main page, he was just about to turn off the game when he heard a notification. [Little Fairy Wants A Hug QAQ has invited you to join a party lobby.] By the time Lu Xiuhe had managed to react, he had already joined the lobby. There was only him and Zuo Zhen in the lobby. That person named Zuo Zhen¡¯s boyfriend wasn¡¯t there. [Little Fairy Wants A Hug QAQ: Choose a role.] As soon as this person¡¯s fa?ade had been dropped, he didn¡¯t even bother acting with that old tone of his anymore. Otherwise, how would the saying that men weren¡¯t reliable still ring true? And, right after happily ying games as a couple with his current boyfriend, he went to go find his ex-boyfriend to y games with. How outrageous ba. After loading into the champion selection interface, Lu Xiuhe thought about it again; as the ex-boyfriend who obviously knew that the other party currently had a boyfriend, he was even more outrageous for trying to still get close to him. Zuo Zhen¡¯s selected champion icon was still empty. This was the same as every match they had yed before. Lu Xiuhe would choose first, and then Zuo Zhen would choose his champion based on what Lu Xiuhe had chosen. If Lu Xiuhe yed top or midne, then Zuo Zhen would y a jungler; if Lu Xiuhe yed as ADC, then Zuo Zhen would y support. He didn¡¯t know if it was because he was angry or something, but Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t even hesitate before picking Rakan. He didn¡¯t y LoL like a noob, so he would at least be a lot better than the previous match¡¯s Rakan. Zuo Zhen hesitated for a moment, then chose¡­ Zed, a midne champion. Lu Xiuhe felt his burning hot cheeks, and was especially ashamed. Yes, that¡¯s right. This person already had a boyfriend now, who the hell would still duo bot with you with a pair of sweetheart champions ah? Although Lu Xiuhe understood this clearly in his mind, he couldn¡¯tpletely control himself during his gamey. It was fine when he stayed in the bottomne, but after leaving thatne, Lu Xiuhe habitually started to follow right behind Zed¡¯s ass. Fortunately, the ADC they had encountered in this match had a good temper. He yed Ezreal and was very good at escaping, and didn¡¯t really say much about Lu Xiuhe¡¯s actions. Thatsted until the end of one team fight. They had won the team fight by killing three enemies and suffering no deaths on their side. However, everyone on the team only had a sliver of health left and couldn¡¯t chase down the remaining enemies; they could only head back to base together. Just as Lu Xiuhe was preparing to recall to go buy items, he saw that the enemy Caitlyn had targeted Zed with her ultimate ability, and was charging up the Ace in the Hole against him. Lu Xiuhe, with almost no hesitation, used his skill to jump in front of Zed. He wanted to help him block the shot, but Zuo Zhen responded faster. The moment that Lu Xiuhe jumped to him, Zuo Zhen used Living Shadow to immediately move back in front of the ultimate ability again. For this shot that would kill any person who got hit by it right now, the two of them kept going back and forth like this, using all of their movement skills to just try to stand in front of the other person to block. Finally, Zuo Zhen directly used sh to stay in front of Lu Xiuhe, thereby taking the bullet and being sent back to base free of charge by the enemy Caitlyn. Teammate No.1: ¡°¡­¡± Teammate No. 2 said, ¡°That was unnecessary; absolutely pointless.¡± Teammate No. 3mented, ¡°At this moment, I actually don¡¯t know who to curse at¡­¡± The enemy Caitlyn said, ¡°¡­ I was so moved that I had almost wanted to cancel the ultimate ability.¡± Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t speak, and neither did Zuo Zhen. Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t dare to say anything. He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would say something wrong again. The two of them yed for two hours without saying a word. When thest match ended, Lu Xiuhe sent him a message. [Don¡¯t surrender ah, there¡¯s still hope: My dorm is going to turn off the lights now, logging off.] [Little Fairy Wants A Hug QAQ: En.] ¡ª¡ª Back in bed, Lu Xiuhe pulled the quilt over his head. He wanted to sleep, but couldn¡¯t fall asleep. Insomnia had be amon urrence these past few days. He rubbed his hair and took out his cellphone, wanting to see what updates the support group had about matters pertaining to Zuo Zhen. As soon as he opened it, he saw a picture that had been sent by a fan. The picture seemed to be of a concert. Naturally, the person in the picture was Zuo Zhen and because it had been taken with a professional camera, it was very HD. Zuo Zhen¡¯s shirt was very short and because he was lifting both palms up into the air, the corners of his clothes were pulled up, thus disying arge expanse of his abs. The lines of his abs were extremely well-proportioned and good-looking. It could be seen that they hadn¡¯t been temporarily developed through the gym, but umted through year-after-year of long and hard training and exercise. What was striking was that on the left side of Zuo Zhen¡¯s waist, a faint scar could be seen, which should be the scar that the big fan had mentioned before. Other people¡¯s scars mostly looked like ws on their bodies, but Zuo Zhen¡¯s didn¡¯t. This scar normally gave him a bit of wild and manly vor, and at a nce, it was practically like an explosion of hormones. Lu Xiuhe stared at the picture and began to get lost in wild fantasies and conjectures. ¡­¡­ He didn¡¯t know if Zuo Zhen getting a boyfriend so tantly would cause any issues. After all, he was so popr right now, and there were so many people who wanted to fuck with him. However, the country¡¯s upper management found homosexuality to be a very taboo topic, and any explosive headline could drop him straight into the abyss. Lu Xiuhe definitely wouldn¡¯t reveal anything, but what about Zuo Zhen¡¯s current boyfriend? Thinking of this, Lu Xiuhe felt unhappy again. Forget it, what did it have to do with him ah? Just a random group of fans of Zuo Zhen¡¯s already had 35,000 members, when would it ever be his turn to worry about him? He was about to turn off his phone and go to sleep when it suddenly vibrated. The big fan had sent him a message. [Lulu, are you there?! Emergency situation!! Speedily appear!!!] [Your Great Lord Lu: Here ah, what¡¯s the matter? Is there another influencer ount fucking with Zhenzhen?] [No, no, it¡¯s the middle of the night, and even influencer ounts have to rest ma. It¡¯s an even more urgent matter! I remember you said before that you live in Manyang, right ba?] [Your Great Lord Lu: Yes.] [AAHHH, congrattions baby! Pz has activities in Manyang the day after tomorrow, and Zhenzhen will be there too!! Thepany informed me that we can arrange for people to meet them at the airport!!] Lu Xiuhe¡¯s heart thumped. This person shouldn¡¯t be thinking that¡­. [Manyang that ce is quite remote. I¡¯ve been busy with the year-end matters recently, but I managed to put together a circle of people. However, there are no moderators who have the time to organize the airport meet-up¡­So we decided to give this boon to you !!] [Your Great Lord Lu: ?] [Your Great Lord Lu: Oh no, I¡­ I may not be free.] [Ah? Didn¡¯t you tell me before that two days after your exams finish, you¡¯ll be going on vacation, and that you can then fight online for 24 hours every day?] As long as Zuo Zhen didn¡¯t find out about it, he¡¯d be fine with even fighting online for 25 hours a day. Instead of making him go to an airport meetup for Zuo Zhen, you may as well make him go die. Also, the other person even had a boyfriend now, and if he, this ex-boyfriend, suddenly snuck into a support group to meet him at the airport, what would it count as ah?? [Your Great Lord Lu: I really can¡¯t do it, I¡­.] [Your Great Lord Lu: I¡¯m a bit embarrassed. In fact, in real life, I¡¯m a very introverted person, the kind who doesn¡¯t even dare to speak loudly. How can I organize other fans ah?] [It¡¯ll be fine, I¡¯ve even talked to the other sisters. They will all listen to you.] [If you don¡¯t go, it really won¡¯t work ah. Manyang doesn¡¯t have many people to begin with, and many of the more mature fans have to go to work. The rest are junior high school little Meimeis or new fans.] [Your Great Lord Lu: But I¡¯m a new fan too¡­.] [You¡¯re different, you¡¯re special.] No, Jie, how am I special ah? If you tell me, can I change it? Lu Xiuhe was getting ready to evade when another message came from the opposite side. [For making you organize the event, we will definitely give you great benefits as well. Thepany just got 50 limited edition chibi Zhenzhen models. Once you¡¯ve finished up with this event, I¡¯ll be sure to apply for one for you!] [Your Great Lord Lu: ¡­.chibi Zhenzhen?] The other side sent a picture. It was simr to the models of Japanese anime characters, wearing an outfit from a music video, with pink hair, the word ¡°Zhen¡± on the cape, and the scars on his waist, all being there. The facial features and dress style were all very close to Zuo Zhen¡¯s real person. The model had been created with great care. Even people who weren¡¯t fans of Zuo Zhen would definitely think it was cute once they saw it. [Under the base of the model is also Zhenzhen¡¯s signature, one that he signed himself. They only sent out this batch to give back to old fans, andter, even if they do remake them, that version won¡¯t be identical to these.] If anyone had caught sight of Lu Xiuhe¡¯s expression right now, they would have thought that he was looking at a pornsite on his cellphone. Limited edition, only 50, will not be re-released in the future. These tags heavily smashed into Lu Xiuhe¡¯s brain, and made him dizzy. [Ah, Lulu, since you¡¯re not free, I¡¯ve found another college girl in Manyang. She seems to have also just finished her exams; she¡¯s quite free. You go to sleep ba.] [Your Great Lord Lu: No, I¡¯m free. I¡¯m really free. Don¡¯t bother others, let me do this job.] [That girl¡¯s personality is very cheerful. If you¡¯re more introverted, I won¡¯t trouble you ha. After all, it¡¯s very troublesome to organize fans.] [Your Great Lord Lu: Whoever said I was introverted? Even in bars, I am capable of interacting with the tables in front of me, behind me, to the left of me, and to the right of me, and can do it all night long. All of my friends say that it¡¯s a pity that I¡¯m not a DJ. You send me the address and time, and I will definitely arrange everything beautifully and let Zuo Zhen¡¯s name ring out all over Manyang¡¯s airport!] ¡ª Juurensha: Soooo I¡¯m pretty sure that big fan knew what she was doing hahaha. Also LXH who are you kidding, you¡¯re so jealous and you even want a chibi doll of him¡­.Also, I don¡¯t think ZZ is as over you as you think.

Edited by Noks Airport meetups were still something people had to devote particr care in organizing, and so the big fan sent Lu Xiuhe the list of fans who were going to be there at the airport meetup. He nced at it; in such a small ce as Manyang, with such short notice, they could still actually gather dozens of people. The big fan said that they had far more than just these people, but the event happening in Manyang this time was a group activity. The other members of Pz would also being, and if there were too many of Zuo Zhen¡¯s supporters, then that could cause dissatisfaction among the fans of the other members, so even the 30 or so people who were going to this meetup had been carefully selected by her. Basically speaking, fan circles were reallyplicated, and you had to take a lot of care even when just arranging an airport meetup. On the day of the airport meetup, Lu Xiuhe was still reading the ¡°30 rules for an Airport Meetup¡± that had been sent by the big fan while having breakfast. He was studying it even more seriously than the time he had spent memorizing study materials in high school. Zuo Zhen wouldnd at 11:30 a.m., so Lu Xiuhe arrived at the airport at 9:00 a.m., and most of the other fans had also arrived by this time. Lu Xiuhe called out for everyone in the groupchat, and soon, they all gathered together. ¡°Did everyone have breakfast?¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Let¡¯s go grab the spot by the exit first, but remember, don¡¯t upy too much of it. Let¡¯s also save some room for the other fans, but the spots that will allow for good shots to be captured have to be grabbed beforehand. There¡¯s also no need to bring along too many lightboards, just two or three will be enough. Small items can be taken¡­¡± He went over all the things they had to take precautions for once, and his voice wasn¡¯t loud when he was doing this, just enough to allow the fans around him to hear him clearly. But in reality, most of the fans weren¡¯t listening to him attentively. They had known that it was a boy who was organizing the airport meetup today, but they hadn¡¯t expected him to be a tall, fresh, and sunny boy. He belonged to the type of person who drew the most attention when he threw his jersey on to go onto the basketball court. ¡°Do you understand?¡± After Lu Xiuhe finished, heughed a bit with the fans. His white teeth shed out, and his sunniness rocketed up in a straight line as he called out, ¡°Little Meimeis.¡± The little Meimeis took a hundred critical hits. Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t think anything about calling them little Meimeis. One look and he could tell that most of the fans here were younger than him. After all, all the fans who were older than him were working themselves to death at the year-end rush. It took a long time for them to return to their senses, after which they nodded and replied, ¡°Un-understood¡­¡± By eleven o¡¯clock, they had sessfully managed to upy the spot closest to the exit for VIP passengers. Lu Xiuhe, standing in the middle of this crowd, kept feeling very awkward. Besides him were not only Zuo Zhen¡¯s fans, but also the fans of the other group members, and all of them were mainly women, and there were even more junior and senior high school students in this crowd. As a big man standing in the center of this gathering, he stood out like a crane standing among chickens. ¡°Um, Lulu ah.¡± The female fan nearby suddenly patted Lu Xiuhe on the shoulder. Lu Xiuhe turned his head and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°It¡¯s my first timeing to an airport meetup, and I keep thinking that I should mark the asion.¡± The little girl raised her selfie stick and said, ¡°¡­.Can we take a picture together?¡± ¡°Ah? Of course you guys can¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°You guys bunch up ba, I will not join in the fun.¡± ¡°No ah, everyone together ba. It¡¯ll be really fast, just a few seconds.¡± Lu Xiuhe had no choice but to draw closer to the camera and take a picture with everyone. He was afraid that if this picture was ever seen by his roommates, he might have to spend the rest of his life being an object of ridicule. Just after the photo was taken, some fans who were parked in front of the flight notification board came back to inform them, ¡°Landed! Zhenzhen¡¯s ne hasnded!¡± When everyone heard these words, they immediately began to pull out all of their tools, such as lightboards and small glow-sticks, and reinforcing their headbands to make sure not a single thing would fall off. They ced all of these things on their bodies, hoping that when their idols came out, the first thing they would see would be themselves. Lu Xiuhe also began to prepare. He quickly opened his backpack, which was hanging on his shoulders, took out his mask, sunsses, and hat, and put them on his face one by one. His movements were crisp and decisive, with no draggy movements at all. Atst, he turned on the selfie mode on his phone to take a look at himself. Very good, very tight. Even if his mom showed up, she wouldn¡¯t be able to recognize him. The little girl next to him was shocked by his moves. ¡°¡­. Lulu, this is¡­?¡± ¡°I have a few pimples on my face. I don¡¯t want to destroy my image in Zhenzhen¡¯s mind,¡± he said solemnly. ¡°Ah, but I didn¡¯t see any pimples on your face ah.¡± ¡°They didn¡¯t grow in very obvious spots, so they can¡¯t be seen at a nce.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± The little girl was nning to ask more, but then she saw themotion start up at the exit. Right after that, the fans around them began to quietly start chanting their idols¡¯ names. The Pz group came out together. Lu Xiuhe quickly looked up at the terminal area and saw a group of assistant-like people appear at the end of the terminal. They took a look at the fans outside the terminal and made sure that the group members could safely pass through before turning around and saying something. A few secondster, six men came out of the terminal. Lu Xiuhe recognised Zuo Zhen at a nce. Zuo Zhen was the group leader, so naturally, he was also at the front. His hair color seemed to have just been touched up; it was deeper today than it had been in the video that Lu Xiuhe had watched the other day. Zuo Zhen was wearing a mask but no sunsses, so his good-looking pair of eyes were exposed. As long as he casually swept his gaze around, the fans would all start screaming. He had broad shoulders and long legs, and because of the temperature difference between the two cities, he had a down jacket loosely gripped in his hand. He was wearing a ck sweater and simple jeans, and when ced side-by-side with the assistants around him, you could even make a post about ¡°the difference between stars and passers-bys¡± on Weibo. Lu Xiuhe only wanted to pull down his sunsses for a second to steal a look, but unexpectedly, as soon as he looked, he fell into a daze. Only when Zuo Zhen¡¯s gaze turned around did he suddenly return to his senses and put them on again in a panic. He lowered his head until he looked like a little chicken pecking at rice, and pulled his hat down with his hand while silently retreating to the back of the crowd, intending to head right to the end of the line. Who knew that just after he had stepped back two steps, his arm would be caught. Before Lu Xiuhe could react, a great big lightboard was stuffed into his hands. ¡°Lulu, take this.¡± The little girl from just now spoke with a righteous expression on her face, ¡°My lightboard is the biggest one in the whole airport. Take it, and I guarantee that Zhenzhen will see you at a nce!¡± The little girl had thought about it, and realized that just because of a few pimples, he felt he had no face to meet his idol. How humble and fanatical was this kind of love ah! She was moved. She decided to help this poor boy. Lu Xiuhe was scared out of his wits and hurriedly tried to evade her. He was so flustered that he even stuttered, ¡°I-I-I-I don¡¯t need it ah!¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine! It¡¯s just a light board, and I¡¯m going to be settling down in Jincheng in two months, after which I can go to airport meetups for Zhenzhen every day. I don¡¯t care about this time.¡± The little girl had a very strong grip, and because they were in the middle of the group, Lu Xiuhe dared not resist violently. Within a few seconds, the lightboard fell into Lu Xiuhe¡¯s hands. She continued, ¡°Also, you¡¯re pretty tall, and you lifting it up will make for a better effect than me. It took me several nights to make this lightboard, so you must make sure it bes the most beautiful lightboard in the airport! Quickly! Hold it steady! Lift it up higher!¡± Lu Xiuhe broke down and howled internally¡ªif it¡¯s your own matter, then you do it ah! You made the lightboard, so you lift it up ah!! I think you¡¯re already 17, 18, or maybe even 19, so it can¡¯t be that you don¡¯t understand this?!! ¡ª¡ª Having slept for hours on the ne, drowsiness still lingered among the six people. Only Zuo Zhen¡¯s eyes were clear, and no sleepiness could be seen on his face at all. When he got to the exit, he turned around and said, ¡°Wake up a bit. Even if you¡¯re really tired, you still have to wait until we get to the car to sleep more.¡± It was only then that the other five members started to gather up their strength and began to tidy up their looks. As expected, there were many people outside the terminal. As soon as Zuo Zhen got to the exit, he pinpointed his fans in the crowd. Because everyone in the group was wearing masks, several of them were still chatting, though they weren¡¯t doing it loudly. One of the group members seemed to have spotted something and suddenlyughed. ¡°Haha, look at Zuo Zhen¡¯s fan group.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°There¡¯s a very tall boy.¡± ¡°He¡¯s not very tall ah, it¡¯s just that he¡¯s surrounded by women, so he looks tall ba.¡± ¡°No, the key point is, look at him. Wearing sunsses and a face mask, he¡¯s even more tightly wrapped up than we are. People who didn¡¯t know what was going on would think the fans are here to meet him at the airport instead.¡± ¡°Hahaha, now that you say that, it really does look like that¡­¡± Zuo Zhen nced at that spot in the crowd and sure enough, saw a young man wearing those exaggerated clothes, but whose face he couldn¡¯t see clearly. Not only was the boy wearing a lot, but he was also holding an even more ostentatious lightboard right in front of his face. If the group hadn¡¯t been lining up in profile while exiting, he possibly even wouldn¡¯t be able to see anything. It really seemed that rather thaning for an airport meetup, this person was more like a student who was sleeping in ss and covering himself up with books. ¡°Don¡¯tment on my fans.¡± He looked away after a nce, with a smile on his lips, but there was no warmth in his tone. The two men chatting about this immediately shut up. After a while, they heard an airy sentence. ¡°What, not even letting people talk? Really thinking you¡¯re the big boss ah.¡± ¡°You should talk a bit less. Once we get closer, the fans will be able to hear you,¡± said the little young man following behind Zuo Zhen. When the assistants beside them saw that they had all gone quiet, they couldn¡¯t help but feel relieved. Although the situation wasn¡¯t as serious as the rumors outside were spreading it to be, there really had been many problems in Pz recently. It was mainly centered around the battle between the group leader and the group¡¯s ¡°face¡±. The group leader actually didn¡¯t really try to rify his position, but the ¡°face¡± was fighting to get the single C position on the stage. Recently, they had been arguing too hard to try to resolve the problem peacefully. Having finally walked out of the terminal, Zuo Zhen pulled down his mask and smiled at the fans. A scream resounded in the crowd. Surrounded by assistants and security personnel, these six people simply walked to the airport exit. Their ears were full of their fans¡¯ shouts. As Zuo Zhen walked, he kept nodding his head. Finally, upon encountering those who were a bit louder, he raised his hand, put his index finger on his lips, and said, ¡°Shh.¡± The fans¡¯ voices immediately turned much smaller, but the light in their eyes glowed brighter. However, the person who was holding the lightboard in front of his facepletely missed seeing this action of Zuo Zhen¡¯s, and so continued shouting at his original volume. The boy¡¯s slightly heavy voice soon stood out in the midst of the crowd¡ª¡ª ¡°Zhenzhen has worked hard!¡± ¡°Zhenzhen needs to wrap up a bit more!¡± ¡°Zhenzhen, pay attention to safety!¡± There was no emotion in his voice, it was as if he were reading military training slogans. ¡°Pfft.¡± One of the Pz group members really couldn¡¯t hold back anymore and let out augh through his mask. But he soon recovered to his usual posture, clenched his fist, and moved it in front of his mouth to cough softly. Just as he was about to move on, he saw the man at the front of the group suddenly pause his steps and thene to aplete stop. Zuo Zhen frowned a bit, and then looked back and sessfully caught sight of that big lightboard. The lightboard had been designed with great care. Many of the outfits he had worn in his music video were painted on it, and in order to stand out, only the two big characters of ¡°Zhen Zhen¡± were written on it. Holding onto the lightboard was a pair of hands with very distinctive bones. One look and you could tell that they belonged to a boy. Zuo Zhen¡¯s gaze drifted lower, and he caught sight of a familiar pair of ck and white AJ shoes. In the midst of so many women¡¯s shoes, it stood out a lot. It was the one that he had bought for his online romantic partner. His turning around had immediately caused the fans to start screaming. The security guard nearby hurriedly reminded him, ¡°Go ahead first ba, stopping will cause the crowd to jam up.¡± Zuo Zhen let out an ¡°en¡± and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go soon.¡± After saying that, not only did he not leave, but he even turned around and walked towards the crowd. The security guard was startled and rushed to surround him. The shrieks around him grew fiercer and fiercer. Lu Xiuhe was holding up the lightboard and didn¡¯t know what was happening at all. His curiosity had already climbed all the way up to his throat. Zuo Zhen¡¯s legs were long, and he was the first one to walk out of the terminal. Shouldn¡¯t he have already left the airport without a trace by now? Nothing should happen if he stole a look now. Thinking thus, he poked his head out a little bit from the right side of the lightboard. Once he poked his head out like this, he couldn¡¯t pull it back. At some unknown point, Zuo Zhen had walked directly in front of him, and this person¡¯s eyebrows were being raised up gently, his eyes filled with many emotions. The gazes of these two people met, and Lu Xiuhe stiffened, his heart filled with only three letters¡ªWTF. There were a lot of people bustling around them, but fortunately, the fans were obedient. Although excited, they didn¡¯t forget to control their volume, so Lu Xiuhe could clearly hear Zuo Zhen ask him¡ª ¡°You¡¯re my fan?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± All eyes were pinned on Lu Xiuhe. Lu Xiuhe was very clear that if he dared to say something like ¡°no¡±, he would die at the Manyang airport today. So he squeezed out his voice to reply with a ¡°¡­.yes.¡± Zuo Zhen nodded and pretended to ask in a casual manner, ¡°Do you like me very much?¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± ¡°Yes¡­¡± ¡°Zhenzhen! He likes you so so so much!¡± The girl next to him had gone crazy as she blurted out, ¡°Two pimples developed on his face, and he was afraid of leaving you with a bad impression, so you see how much he¡¯s wrapped himself up!!!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s eyes remained still, and he stared fixedly at Lu Xiuhe. ¡°Is that right?¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe took a deep breath and said, ¡°¡­.Yes.¡± Zuo Zhen nodded, obviously satisfied. ¡°Thank you for your love.¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s face had turned so hot by now that he could explode at any moment. Lu Xiuhe wanted his soul to drift away right then and there. ¡°¡­¡­ Y-you¡¯re wee.¡± Everyone thought it would be over with this, but unexpectedly, Zuo Zhen still didn¡¯t leave. Instead, he took out a ck signature pen from his pocket and carefully started to sign the lightboard. Although Lu Xiuhe was able to hold the lightboard steadily, because of the crowd, his arm constantly kept getting knocked into, which in turn caused the lightboard to sway around. Lu Xiuhe felt something warm cover the back of his hand. Zuo Zhen held the back of his hand and lightly said, ¡°Don¡¯t move, or the signature wille out ugly.¡± The only thought in Lu Xiuhe¡¯s head now was that this moment was too long and slow. Is your venerable name a hundred words long that you¡¯re taking this long to sign?! Atst, upon hearing the sound of Zuo Zhen cing his pen cap back on the pen, Lu Xiuhe breathed out a long sigh. All of a sudden, he felt something lightly scratch at the pocket on the front of his coat. Through the thin coat, the pen cap scraped against his skin, before falling into his pocket, which gave him a start. He then heard Zuo Zhen say, ¡°This pen is for you. Like me forever oh.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: ¡­.If you didn¡¯t want to be recognized LXH, maybe you shouldn¡¯t have worn the gift from your ex¡­.Also I love the lightboard girl, she¡¯s so fun. Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! And there¡¯s an audio drama for PUBG that came out!

Chapter 110 - Extra CP (Zuo Zhen x Lu Xiuhe)-Permit-pass. Edited by Noks Lu Xiuhe somehow muddled through the rest of the meetup, and by the end of it, his back was covered in ayer of sweat. Only after confirming that even the taillights of the car picking up the group was out of sight did he look away. The lightboard had Zuo Zhen¡¯s signature, and only after looking at it did he realise why Zuo Zhen had taken such a long time to write on it. It turned out that there was another sentence on it. Thank you for your love. ¡ª¡ªZuo Zhen. Because of this lightboard, the little girls were all boiling over with excitement. When Lu Xiuhe returned to his senses, he saw that the girl who had originally stuffed the lightboard into his hands was now standing in front of him, her eyes full of expectation. Lu Xiuhe realized what was going on and quickly gave her the lightboard. ¡°This¡­ Thank you for the lightboard.¡± ¡°Ah.¡± The girl was shocked and asked, ¡°You¡¯re giving it to me?¡± Lu Xiuhe replied, ¡°It was yours in the first ce ah.¡± ¡°I actually thought¡­¡± The girl hurriedly took it into her hands and with an extremely moved expression on her face, said, ¡°Lulu! Thank you!¡± ¡°No problem.¡± Lu Xiuhe waved his hand. After seeing the idols off to their car, the event was over. Just as he was getting ready to say something, several fans came up to him and opened their mouths, wanting to buy Zuo Zhen¡¯s signature pen from him. And the starting price was 10,000 yuan. Looking at this group of junior high school little Meimei, Lu Xiuhe couldn¡¯t help but sigh internally. Little children nowadays were really fucking rich. Back when he was in junior high, if his parents gave him 50 yuan for a day, he even thought that he had hit the jackpot. 10,000 yuan, he could buy that pair of shoes that he had been eyeing for several weeks with it. Anyway, he wasn¡¯t a real fan in the first ce. For him, this was almost like a windfall ah. Lu Xiuhe thought a few hundred different ways of how to spend this 10,000 yuan, but what ultimately came out of his mouth was, ¡°Sorry ah, this¡­ I¡¯m not selling it.¡± Since he was the organizer of this meetup, he naturally had to deliver the fans safely to their cars. Only when thest fan got into their car did Lu Xiuhe randomly hail a taxi to go home. The car window was open, and the iing wind blew his hair around. After sitting for a long time, Lu Xiuhe finally couldn¡¯t help but take out the pen from his pocket. It was a simple ck signature pen. If there was anything really special about it, maybe it was that this pen had spent a little time in Zuo Zhen¡¯s pocket. That was the main reason the value of the pen started at 10,000 yuan and would keep climbing. No, had he just lost his head at the airport just now? Why hadn¡¯t he sold it for even 10,000?? Lu Xiuhe said to himself internally¡ªit must have been because he had been frightened by Zuo Zhen¡¯s sexy moves, and not for any other wild reasons. If he got another chance, he would definitely¡ª¡ª His cellphone sounded. [Lulu, would you sell that signature pen for 20,000 yuan? I have been chasing Zhenzhen for many years, and I really want this pen very very much! Begggggggggging you QQAQQ, I will remember you for the rest of my life!] ¡°¡­.¡± He would definitely¡­ [Zuo Family Army_Your Great Lord Lu: Sorry ah, not selling. Soooorrrrryyyyyyyy QQQAQQQ] After sending this message, Lu Xiuhe put the signature pen back in his pocket and quickly deleted the inner monologue he had been uttering just now from his memory. After closing the chat box, he found that he had been inundated with @s from the support group. The news of Zuo Zhen giving only him a signature pen had spread across the fan circles in just ten short minutes, and every single little girl in the group was more excited than he was. [@ Lulu, can I please ask, what did Zhenzhen smell like?! Could you fill an empty bottle with that smell and mail it to me?] [@ Lulu, can I touch that pen??] [@ Lulu, what¡¯s it like to shake hands with Zhenzhen? What exactly was the temperature of his hand?] When this was mentioned, Lu Xiuhe actually really did think of something. Zuo Zhen¡¯s palm had been very hot. It had been much warmer than his own, although he didn¡¯t know if that was just his own delusion. [Wasn¡¯t any smell. You can touch it,e to my house to find me? Don¡¯t know the temperature, but anyway, it was hot.] Because it was in the groupchat, Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t have any qualms when talking. Whenever someone asked to buy the pen from him, he would reply in such a way that made his feelings towards Zuo Zhen seem unsurpassable in the entire world. He said that he would sleep while hugging the pen tonight and would eventually pass the pen onto his grandson, reminding him to take good care of it. In any case, his replies were as exaggerated as they could be. Because he said it like that, those girls who were rejected wouldn¡¯t feel envy and jealousy. This kind of thing, that could cause a lot of controversy in other circles, was turned into a beautiful thing with just a few words from Lu Xiuhe. So, in the afternoon, when Lu Xiuhe was scrolling through Weibo and ran into his own trending topic, he couldn¡¯t even react to it when he first read it. #Diehard loyal male fan loves Zuo Zhen¡¯s signature pen# He was toozy to read the chunk of text in that post, but the post also had a picture attached, which was of the moment when Zuo Zhen had held his left hand, and it looked like he was signing an autograph for him. Under the post, all the sisters whom he had met in the group had all liked the post and had rushed up to grab the front row seats on this trending topic¡ª¡ª [Congrattions to Lulu for getting his beloved signature pen!] [I didn¡¯t expect that one day I would be happy because someone else got my idol¡¯s signature pen. Maybe it¡¯s actually true love from me to Lulu ba.] [Letting everyone see what a die-hard male fan truly is like [picture]] Lu Xiuhe clicked open the picture and nearly passed out. This group of people had actually posted up his chat record from the groupchat! Those outrageous words he had weaved for half an hour had actually all beenpiled into a picture, without even a single word missing. It had even be a trending topic on Weibo!! Although his username had been blurred out, his dumb emoticon profile picture was still there. If Zuo Zhen saw this picture, there was an 80% chance he¡¯d be recognized. What was the difference between this and public punishment?! Lu Xiuhe suddenly felt a little like he was about to have a heart attack. He opened QQ and was about to ask which little sister had posted up his chat record when he discovered that the groupchat was already discussing the next fan support event. Just for tonight, Pz would be holding a small meet-and-greet at a small gymnasium. Because this was a previously unnned event, the on-site tickets weren¡¯t being sold through normal channels. The big fan in the group had to go to work and speak with the Pz management before finally managing to get a small number of tickets. The meet-and-greet wasn¡¯t the same as the airport meetup, where you had much less time just in terms of getting to interact with your idol. What¡¯s more, the meet-and-greet was in the evening, a time by which everyone had gotten off work, so the number of people who were signing up for the meet-and-greet directly exploded. It was said that the big fan had already received so many private messages that she couldn¡¯t reply to all of them. Lu Xiuhe paused in his action of typing. He thought, forget it, he wouldn¡¯t skew everyone¡¯s topic of conversation to something else. He was about to turn off QQ when the chat interface suddenly stopped scrolling. [Zuo Family Army_ Shishi has banned all talk.] [Sorry, everyone. I didn¡¯t reply just now because of an emergency. Let me exin it to you all now.] [ Zhen Zhen will not attend tonight¡¯s event for some reason. I know that everyone cares about the reason, but the management on that side is being very tight-lipped about it, and I couldn¡¯t get anything out of them. Tickets are still avable. If you¡¯re interested, you can ask me for them via private messages.] Would not attend? His entire being had already arrived in Manyang, so why was he, all of a sudden, not attending the event? Not only was Lu Xiuhe confused, but the other fans also exploded. [It¡¯s too sudden ba?! Not telling us why, do they want to kill us?] [Peerless is a garbagepany, every day throwing my Zhenzhen into a pit!] [I would like to ask, if Zhenzhen isn¡¯t there, who is the C position tonight? 80% chance it¡¯s Lin Jia ba? Is this the doing of thepany on purpose ah, seeing that Zhenzhen is about to fly solo, so they¡¯re hurrying to lift Lin Jia up?] Lu Xiuhe just gripped his cellphone in that manner and read thements for an entire afternoon. Everyone talked and talked, but even after a long time passed, they couldn¡¯te to any conclusions. Zuo Zhen¡¯s and Peerless Company¡¯s Weibos were silent, making it seem as if nothing had happened, not even a ripple in the waters. No matter what question fans asked in thements below, they received no response. ¡°What are you doing there, sitting and not eating while gripping your cellphone?¡± Father Lu couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and criticized him. Lu Xiuhe could only shamefacedly set down his cellphone. ¡°Come out with me tonight, and we¡¯ll go to your uncle¡¯s house for a bit.¡± Father Lu said, ¡°Your cousin has gotten into a good university. They¡¯re discussing throwing him a college drinking party over there, and they want me toe over to give some ideas.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°I can¡¯t go. I need to go find Xiao Yan tonight. Some stuff happened to him, so I¡¯m going to keep himpany.¡± ¡°What happened to him?¡± ¡°Some garbage stuff, anyway it¡¯s all troublesome. I¡¯ll go keep himpany and talk to him to prevent his mood from bing too chaotic.¡± ¡°Alright ba.¡± Father Lu didn¡¯t ask anymore. But who would have known that in the evening, a message would explode in the Zuo Zhen support fan group. [I¡¯ve gotten some insider information!! Zhen Zhen seems to have been attacked by an illegitimate fan! It happened only an hour before the announcement this afternoon! Because it involves fans and internal staff who divulged the whereabouts of the members, thepany couldn¡¯t exin it easily!!] Illegitimate fans could be said to be the insects of the fan circle. The term was used to refer to fans who vited the private life of stars. Their behavior was exceptionally extreme, and in order to satisfy the love they harboured for their idols, they tracked, secretly took pictures of, and even harassed their idols. Stars being attacked by illegitimate fans had already happened many times by now, and some of those incidents had been of a vile nature, which led normal fans to feel disgusted, nervous, and scared as soon as they heard the word ¡°illegitimate.¡± [Shit, this group of illegitimate fans this year while celebrating the New Year should just gtfo and die!! Then Zhenzhen wasn¡¯t injured ba?] [My God, if it was just about sneaking pictures and following the car, they wouldn¡¯t directly stop the trip ba? I previously heard that there was an illegitimate fan who broke into an idol¡¯s house to take photos and steal things!!] [That still counts as okay. I heard that there are also those illegitimate fans who forcefully try to kiss and molest people. For fear of affecting the reputation of those idols, thepany sealed everyone¡¯s mouths, and only because they did that did no news about it get released.] Lu Xiuhe read this, and his heart became extremely agitated, his heartbeat goingpletely wild. Zuo Zhen, such a big man, shouldn¡¯t have been forcefully kissed or molested¡­.or whatever ba? But if everything was really okay, then howe he wasn¡¯t even going to the activity? And many of those illegitimate fans gathered and went up in groups of two or three. He may be able to resist one person, but what if there had been too many people? Lu Xiuhe blindly thought such thoughts while searching for the dirty deeds of illegitimate fans on his cellphone. The more he searched, the more horrified he felt, right up to when he saw the story of some star who had been sexually harassed to the point that he developed mental problems and finally couldn¡¯t help but miserably retire. He dug out the phone number that he had gotten a call from a few nights ago, took a deep breath, and made a phone call. The phone rang for a long time on that side. It kept ringing for so long that Lu Xiuhe thought his call wouldn¡¯t go through, but then he heard a click, and his call was picked up. It was very quiet over there, with no sounding through at all. Lu Xiuhe had originally thought up of several excuses to use¡ªsuch as having dialed the wrong number, or having pressed the wrong key, etc., but when the call was actually picked up, he just asked, ¡°Hello, Zuo Zhen? You¡¯re fine ba?¡± Zuo Zhen remained silent for a while, as if he was confirming something. After a long time, he finally said, ¡°Not fine.¡± His voice was already very deep, having a very standard bass tone. Right now, it sounded even lower, which was frightening. His voice was also very hoarse, sounding as though he had been crying. By this point, Lu Xiuhe had already imagined the entire scenario of Zuo Zhen having been ravaged. Hearing this tone in his voice, he grew frantic and blurted out, ¡°Don¡¯t cry ah, isn¡¯t it just having been kissed and touched? It wouldn¡¯t have even taken off ayer of skin! Does thepany not even care? Otherwise, let¡¯s call the police ba!¡± Zuo Zhen, who was lying in bed with a splitting headache, was toozy to try and figure out what this person was talking about. ¡°You don¡¯t even care about me.¡± He asked, ¡°How could thepany care about me?¡± I¡¯m not the boss of yourpany, so how is me not caring about you rted to yourpany?! Lu Xiuhe felt puzzled, but was also afraid of hurting Zuo Zhen¡¯s heart by saying that sentence. Instead, he said, ¡°I care about you ah. Tch, how do I not care about you¡­¡± He scratched his head and didn¡¯t know what would be the best way to continue talking. Just when he was about to ask Zuo Zhen if he needed to call the police, he heard a beep, and realized that the other party had hung up on him again. Shit, was this person addicted to hanging up his calls?! Lu Xiuhe had originally been frantic, but now, he was a little angry too. He was just going to call him back when his cellphone vibrated strongly, and a text message appeared on the screen¡ª [138xxxxxxx: Manyang Purple Sage, Hotel Room 2101.] ¡°¡­¡­¡± What was the meaning of this? He couldn¡¯t go. He had already made ns with Xiao Yan. What¡¯s more, he didn¡¯t know what the situation there was like. If he just rashly went over to his door in this manner, wouldn¡¯t that be troublesome for him? Besides, his rtionship with Zuo Zhen wasn¡¯t at that level at all. 20 minutester, Lu Xiuhe calmly rang the doorbell of room 2101. Only after pressing the doorbell several times did he hear heavy footstepsing from the inside. As soon as Zuo Zhen opened the door, Lu Xiuhe aggressively tried to enter the room. Zuo Zhen raised his eyebrows and took the lead in blocking the open gap of the door, thus obstructing his way in. Lu Xiuhe looked up and asked, ¡°Is that person still in there?¡± Zuo Zhen frowned, saw his battle-ready stance, and took only a moment in answering back to him with a question of his own, ¡°What, here to catch me cheating on you?¡± ¡°Catch¡­ catch what cheating?¡± Lu Xiuhe froze at first, but then very quickly, and in a very severe tone, said, ¡°I was talking about the illegitimate fan!¡± Only then did Zuo Zhen take a moment to think before realizing what was going on. And it was only then that Lu Xiuhe noticed that the other party¡¯s cheeks seemed to be a little red, and even his lips had been pursed tightly. He hadn¡¯t said anything for a long while, but he looked like he had a lot of things he wasn¡¯t saying, and he looked really pitiful. ¡°You get out of the way.¡± Lu Xiuhe came back to his senses, and there was a fire in his words as he said, ¡°You¡¯re a star, so you can¡¯t take action, but I can. I¡¯ll help you beat them up. You might not be able to tell, but my fighting skills in junior high school were so fucking fierce that there was no one within ten miles who dared to provoke me¡­¡± ¡°Wait.¡± Zuo Zhen opened his mouth. He remembered the Weibo post he had seen this afternoon. His eyes narrowed, and his gaze fell on Lu Xiuhe¡¯s pocket. Suddenly, he asked, ¡°Is that signature pen still there on you?¡± Lu Xiuhe froze. ¡°Things have already be like this, and you¡¯re talking about that pen?¡± ¡°Is it there with you or not?¡± Zuo Zhen asked, his face turning red, and he wasn¡¯t able to hold back from coughing twice. ¡°¡­¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe realized that something was wrong and asked him, ¡°What about that signature pen, is that pen actually a permit-pass?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a permit-pass.¡± Zuo Zhen stared at him, and maybe it was because of the increase in his body temperature, but his eyes were zing. ¡°If you sold it, then don¡¯te in.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: ¡­.on one hand, LXH, if you really think ZZ has been assaulted, not the best thing to tell him it¡¯s just some kissing and touching. On the other hand, LXH is a dumbass who does seem to be really trying even if he still hasn¡¯t admitted his own feelings. Also I¡¯m a little sad we didn¡¯t get LXH¡¯s reaction to the awful Zhou Mipany drama that he mentions he needs to apany Yanyan for.

Chapter 111 - Extra CP (Zuo Zhen x Lu Xiuhe)-You stop being my fan ba Chapter 111 - Extra CP (Zuo Zhen x Lu Xiuhe)-You stop being my fan ba Edited by Noks Lu Xiuhe wasn¡¯t stupid. When Zuo Zhen first spoke about the signature pen and then said something about it being a permit-pass, with one look, he could tell that nothing serious had happened. There was an 80% chance there was no one else inside the room. That made sense. Although always preventing illegitimate fans froming into contact with an idol was impossible, the assistant ced at Zuo Zhen¡¯s side wasn¡¯t just for show either. It had been such a long time since the incident had taken ce, and even if there had been such a fan here, they must have already been dealt with. It was such simple logic, but he hadn¡¯t even thought of it until just now. His anxious heart could now rest firmly and securely again, and only then did he start to feel embarrassed. ¡°That ah, I gave it to someone else.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Since you¡¯re fine, then I¡­¡­¡± Bang. The door in front of him was shut rather mercilessly in his face. Lu Xiuhe was stunned, and his eyes widened¡ª¡ª Being hung up on and having the door mmed in his face¡ªthe Great Lord Lu had never suffered such kinds of wrong in his life before. If this had happened back in junior high school, with his fiery hot temper at that time, Zuo Zhen would have been eating his fist right now!! You should be d that your Great Lord Lu is older now and has a better temper¡­. Lu Xiuhe said so to himself, but in fact, he didn¡¯t dare to knock again. Forget it. At least he knew he was fine. He turned around and was just about to leave when he heard another sound from behind him. Before he could react, he felt the back of his cor being pulled by someone. He lost his bnce and nearly fell on Zuo Zhen. ¡°Fuck¡­. Are you addicted to pulling on people¡¯s cors or something???¡± The hotel had been arranged by the reception staff in Manyang. Although it wasn¡¯t a suite, it was still a standard luxury room. Zuo Zhen, with a dark expression on his face, threw the person onto the sofa, while he sat on a simr but separate small sofa chair beside him. He let out a barely perceptible breath of relief upon having something to support his back against. Lu Xiuhe looked around. The room was clean, and let alone other people, there weren¡¯t even that many things here. He turned his head and said, ¡°You¡­¡± He saw Zuo Zhen¡¯s entire body reclining on the sofa, with his eyes closed, as his chest moved up and down in ratherrge movements as he breathed¡ª he looked ufortable. The vicious words that Lu Xiuhe had wanted to say were instantly swallowed back, and with his voice lowered a bit, he asked, ¡°¡­What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Zuo Zhen didn¡¯t respond to him; he seemed to being around. Lu Xiuhe was well-developed and also liked to y basketball; he had a good amount of meat on his bones. Dragging him the way he did just now may not affect Zuo Zhen during normal times, but right now, he had done so by using all the strength in his body. He had been afraid that if he didn¡¯t use enough strength, Lu Xiuhe would leave. It was only then that Lu Xiuhe remembered that when he was being pulled by the cor just now, the temperature of the fingers against the back of his neck seemed to be a little off. He got up and ced the back of his hand on Zuo Zhen¡¯s forehead. It was horribly hot. ¡°You have a fever!¡± ¡°I know.¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s voice was a little weak. ¡°You don¡¯t need to be so loud.¡± ¡°No, for better or worse, you¡¯re a big star. Why is it that you¡¯re burning up like this, and there¡¯s no staff around staying to take care of you?¡± Lu Xiuhe got up and looked around, before finally finding a hot water bottle. He had just walked a few steps forward when he stopped. The hot water bottle in the hotel was too dirty; he couldn¡¯t use it. Zuo Zhenughed at himself. ¡°What kind of a big star do I count as?¡± He managed to force his eyelids open and saw Lu Xiuhe walking towards the door. His tiredness suddenly faded and he pulled himself up a bit, as if he was about to stand up as he asked, ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°Going to find some hot water, the hot water bottle in the hotel is too dirty.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Even if there is no one watching over you¡­ they should have bought you some medicine ba?¡± ¡°On the bookcase.¡± ¡°Have you taken it?¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°Even little children know that they need to take medicine when they¡¯re sick. You¡¯re already this old, howe you¡¯re still waiting on someone to feed it to you¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe put on his shoes. ¡°I¡¯m going to go buy a hot water bottle. If there¡¯s anything else you need right now, I¡¯ll buy it and bring it back for you.¡± Zuo Zhen kept looking at him without blinking, and then he said, ¡°You muste back.¡± If it was for any other reason, Lu Xiuhe might have really slipped away. He said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I don¡¯t owe you money, and I won¡¯t run away.¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s eyes were full of suspicion, he still did not believe him. Finally, he said, ¡°Take the keycard from the shoe cab, it¡¯ll save me from having to open the door.¡± Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t think too much about it. He let out an ¡°oh,¡± picked up the keycard, and went out. Five minutester, the doorbell rang again, and the assistant came in with some food. ¡°Zhen Ge, I¡¯ve bought you some food. Even if you don¡¯t feel good, eat a bit ba, you shouldn¡¯t damage your stomach because you¡¯re not hungry.¡± ¡°Put it on the shoe cab.¡± Zuo Zhen said, ¡°You go back first ba.¡± The assistant paused in his action of taking off his shoes. ¡°Go back? How can I do that, you¡¯re already burning up like this&#k2026;¡± ¡°Someone wille to take care of me.¡± Zuo Zhen raised his eyes, his meaning obvious. ¡°If you¡¯re here, it won¡¯t be convenient.¡± ¡°!!¡± ¡°Zhen Ge, it can¡¯t be that you¡­. When did this happen?!¡± The assistant was surprised and said, ¡°No matter what, you can¡¯t bring the person here ah. We just drove away some illegitimate fans, if she is seen¡­¡± Zuo Zhen said, ¡°I have discretion. Go back to your room. If you stay here, when theye back and see you, they¡¯ll leave.¡± As soon as Lu Xiuhe entered, he saw the hot porridge on the shoe cab. Before he could ask, Zuo Zhen saidzily, ¡°I ordered takeout.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Lu Xiuhe took the porridge and moved it in front of him, then shook the new hot water kettle he was carrying in his hand. ¡°I¡¯ll wash it.¡± After saying that, he took out a thermometer from the small stic bag in his hands. ¡°You stick this under your arm and see how serious your fever is.¡± Zuo Zhen sat still. To make himselffortable, his legs were propped on the coffee table, and he raised his eyes. ¡°Not sticking it in.¡± ¡°¡­¡­ stick it in.¡± Zuo Zhen looked at him with his head tilted. ¡°I can¡¯t lift my arm.¡± This shameless deception gave Lu Xiuhe a headache. Even his seven-year-old nephew could lift his hand and stick the thermometer under his elbow by himself. He clicked his tongue, bent his waist, and held Zuo Zhen¡¯s wrist. ¡°Don¡¯t move around randomly.¡± Lu Xiuhe picked up his arm and was just putting the thermometer under his arm when Zuo Zhen suddenly bowed his head such that his lips touched Lu Xiuhe¡¯s earlobe. ¡°In what capacity are you here right now?¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s voice was hoarse as he asked him, ¡°A fan representative?¡± Lu Xiuhe froze. ¡°¡­.If you want to say that, that¡¯s fine. You hold it.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you not like me?¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s elbow hung from the armrest of the chair as he asked this question with azy voice, and it seemed that he wasn¡¯t going to put his arm down to hold the thermometer at all. Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Hold it first.¡± ¡°Why quarrel with others for my sake?¡± Zuo Zhen asked him, ¡°And then evene to an airport meetup, and now, you¡¯re here in my room¡­ Lu Xiuhe, what exactly are you thinking?¡± ¡°What can I think¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s ears were hot, and he urged him, ¡°Quickly hold it, the water is boiling.¡± The back of Zuo Zhen¡¯s head hurt because of the fever, but he was even more afraid of forcing the other person away with his questioning. He stared at Lu Xiuhe for a long time before he slowly mped his arm down on the thermometer. Lu Xiuhe got up as if he was about to flee, then turned around and left his side. ¡°You eat something first, and after you¡¯re done eating, take the medicine.¡± When the TV was turned on, there was a new anti- Japanese drama ying on it. Lu Xiuhe sat on the sofa and watched Zuo Zhen drink porridge slowly, while pondering in his mind about when to leave. ¡°What?¡± Zuo Zhen didn¡¯t raise his head. ¡°You want to leave?¡± ¡­¡­ Are you a supernatural being? ¡°¡­¡­ Not really.¡± Lu Xiuhe took out his cellphone and said to himself, ¡°I¡¯ll go to the fan group chat to report your safety.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t do that.¡± Zuo Zhen said, ¡°You¡¯re going to let them know that you havee to find me? Do you want to be treated as an illegitimate fan and beaten to death?¡± Lu Xiuhe was stunned and stopped his action. ¡°But you haven¡¯t posted anything about this situation to Weibo this whole time. Everyone is worried¡­¡± Zuo Zhen held his gaze as he said, ¡°Thepany didn¡¯t post anything on purpose.¡± ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Selling misery.¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s tone was even as he exined, ¡°The fans are worried about me, and if thepany stirs it up some more, it¡¯ll be a trending topic tonight.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± It was too real ba. Lu Xiuhe thought for a moment and then asked, ¡°Then how about using your own Weibo to post something? Even an ¡®I¡¯m fine¡¯ would be good. Anyway, all your posts go on to be trending topics. ¡± ¡°No way.¡± Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°¡­.do you have to sell misery?¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s hand paused for a moment before he continued to bow his head to drink the porridge. ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to or that I won¡¯t, it¡¯s that it¡¯s just not possible.¡± Lu Xiuhe waspletely unable toprehend what this rather winding statement meant. ¡°What do you mean ah?¡± ¡°What Weibo posts that ount makes, what ads it¡¯s going to repost, what posts it likes¡ªI¡¯m in charge of none of it.¡± Zuo Zhen replied. Lu Xiuhe immediately shut up. The period of time he had spent mingling in the fan circles hadn¡¯t been for nothing. Naturally, he had heard that artists¡¯ Weibos were all managed by special personnel, but he hadn¡¯t expected the control to actually reach such a level. Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°That matter with the illegitimate fan was also something thepany spread around blindly?¡± ¡°No.¡± Zuo Zhen said, ¡°There were several people who came in the afternoon, but the assistant was experienced and soon drove them off.¡± ¡°You¡¯re not hurt ba?¡± ¡°Hurt.¡± Zuo Zhen nced at him, raised his hand suddenly, and lifted up the hem of his shirt. ¡°Have a look?¡± Lu Xiuhe looked in that direction reflexively, only to see the symmetrical abdominal muscles, the familiar scar, and nothing else. ¡°Where?¡± As soon as he asked that, he saw the corners of Zuo Zhen¡¯s mouth rise as he started tough. He then realized that he had been tricked. He blushed and said in shock, ¡°Fuck¡­ You¡¯re too flirty ba. Get dressed quickly.¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s fever reached 39.2 degrees. Lu Xiuhe looked at it and resolutely decided to not let him remain seated anymore, pulling and dragging him up to help him into the bedroom. He first put him on the bed, then bent over Zuo Zhen, reaching to grab the other side of the bedding. Because of his action, his clothes pulled up, thereby revealing arge part of his waist. Although Zuo Zhen had a fever, he still didn¡¯t forget to put his hands in to cling to Lu Xiuhe¡¯s abdomen. Lu Xiuhe was startled by the scalding heat. He hurriedly took two steps back and wrapped his clothes up tightly. He asked in panic, ¡°Zuo Zhen, have you started developing problems because of your fever?¡± Zuo Zhen lowered his hand. His cheeks were red, and because he had a fever, his eyes looked like they were absolutely sparkling. ¡°Liking you is a problem?¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe wasn¡¯t unaware of how direct Zuo Zhen could be, but he got very nervous every time he heard him like this. ¡°Don¡¯t talk about this anymore, okay.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, in a kind of an entreating tone, ¡°I¡¯ll tuck you in, you don¡¯t fucking¡­ touch me.¡± Zuo Zhen looked at him head on and said nothing. Lu Xiuhe pulled down the hem of his clothes to make sure his body was covered before bending down again and pulling the bedding over Zuo Zhen¡¯s body. Having tucked him in, just as he was about to rx, he was suddenly jerked over by his cor by Zuo Zhen again. Lu Xiuhe was caughtpletely off guard, lost his bnce, and fell over. Before he could react, his lips were kissed. What the fuck. He was still fucking doing it again?! Lu Xiuhe reflexively wanted to evade him, but unexpectedly, Zuo Zhen reacted faster than him. Both of his hands immediately went around behind him, with one shackling his neck and the other pressing the back of his head as hard as he could. Lu Xiuhe was worried that as a big man, his feet and hands would move too recklessly and hurt the sick person, so after thudding around a bit, he didn¡¯t move around much anymore. It wasn¡¯t long before hepletely lost his guard, and his mouth waspletely upied by Zuo Zhen. Zuo Zhen¡¯s lips and tongue were hot, and it still held the bitter taste of medicine. He pestered the tip of Lu Xiuhe¡¯s tongue over and over, advancing as soon as he retreated, not allowing him to hide. Lu Xiuhe was kissed until he became dizzy, and he didn¡¯t know how much time had passed before he was finally released. Zuo Zhen gasped heavily, his eyes dark. He grabbed the chance to speak before Lu Xiuhe could open his mouth. ¡°Lu Xiuhe, if you don¡¯t like me, then stay away from me.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t reject me and approach me at the same time. Don¡¯t try to make me just dangle there.¡± Lu Xiuhe had inly thought up a whole stomach full of dirty words to say, but after looking at Zuo Zhen¡¯s face of angry forbearance, he suddenly, and very cleanly, forgot all of them. Hey no, wasn¡¯t the person who had just been forcefully kissed him? Howe it became his fault the moment Zuo Zhen spoke about it? He opened and closed his mouth for a long while before finally saying in a faltering manner, ¡°I don¡¯t want to make you dangle there¡­¡± ¡°Then why did you call me?¡± ¡°Wasn¡¯t that because I had heard that you were attacked by an illegitimate fan¡­¡± ¡°Even if it was true, it¡¯s none of your business.¡± Lu Xiuhe choked, and couldn¡¯t say anything for a moment. Now that the hot kiss was over, Zuo Zhen¡¯s tone was cool as he said, ¡°I catfished you and lied to you. If you can¡¯t ept that, you can either beat me or just stay away from me.¡± Lu Xiuhe thought that Zuo Zhen was right, and so couldn¡¯t refute him. He had also thought that way at first. But then how the hell had he ended up joining Zuo Zhen¡¯s fan support group? After a long time, he finally managed to find a reasonable exnation. ¡°Isn¡¯t this because of me being¡­. turned into your fan?¡± ¡°And also,¡± he suddenly thought of something and argued, ¡°You¡¯ve even got a fucking new boyfriend now, and you¡¯re still crazily kissing other people, aren¡¯t you being too scummy ba?¡± Zuo Zhen frowned. ¡°What new boyfriend?¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°The one in the game, who was ying duo with you ah.¡± ¡°That¡¯s Xu Min. He lost a bet with someone else and was forced to change his game ID.¡± Xu Min was the youngest member of Pz. Zuo Zhen raised his eyebrows. ¡°So that day, you were willing to enter the lobby because¡­ you saw me ying games with him?¡± Lu Xiuhe froze then hurriedly waved before exining, ¡°No, I just clicked the wrong button and went in!¡± ¡°No, you¡¯re jealous.¡± Zuo Zhen clutched the corner of his clothes, as if he had grasped some life-saving straw. ¡°Lu Xiuhe, you like me.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Zuo Zhen swallowed, enduring the difort in his throat, and repeated in a hoarse voice, ¡°You like me.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe sighed heavily and said, ¡°I do like you¡­¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s eyes suddenly brightened. ¡°You dance so well, rap so smoothly, y games so well, and you work so hard,¡± Lu Xiuhe stated a lot of good things about him, ¡°So¡­ I idolize you a lot ah, you¡¯re the first star I¡¯ve ever chased after. ¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s gaze grew a little colder, and even the strength he was using to grip the clothes loosened a bit. Lu Xiuhe scratched his head and forced himself to not look at him. ¡°But that¡¯s the kind of like one has towards idols ah. I¡­ Zuo Zhen, I really don¡¯t like men. I have never wanted to be with a man.¡± By the end, Lu Xiuhe¡¯s voice was almost inaudible. But Zuo Zhen could hear the whole thing clearly. The bedroom was quiet for half a minute. Lu Xiuhe kept standing in the same ce and felt that his back had gone numb while his heart was all blocked up, and felt in bad. The man in bed was obviously expressionless, but he kept feeling as if this person was going to cry. Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°I¡­.¡± His clothes were suddenly freed. In just a few seconds, Zuo Zhen¡¯s expression returned back to normal. Besides the flushed red on his face because of his temperature, almost nothing else could be seen. He put his hand back on the bedding, suddenly turned around, andy with his back facing Lu Xiuhe. ¡°I know,¡± he replied in a hoarse voice. Lu Xiuhe could only stare at his back, and he felt acid in his throat as he said, ¡°Zuo Zhen¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already had porridge and taken medicine.¡± Zuo Zhen said, ¡°Once I sleep some more, I¡¯ll be fine. Thank you for your concern.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe was at a loss. ¡°Zuo Zhen, can¡¯t we be friends? There¡¯s nothing that good about me. I have no money, and I¡¯m not handsome, so why do you have to like me?¡± ¡°You go back ba.¡± Lu Xiuhe really didn¡¯t know what to say. Even after standing in that spot for a long time, he could only squeeze this phrase out of his throat, ¡°¡­.then you rest well.¡± His cellphone was vibrating in his pocket. He didn¡¯t have to guess to know that it was a notification for the messages being sent in the fan support groupchat. Instinctively, he blurted out, ¡°The fans are having a rather intense discussion. Do you want to have a look¡­¡± ¡°Lu Xiuhe,¡± Zuo Zhen interrupted him. ¡°Ah.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be my fan anymore.¡± Lu Xiuhe paused in his action of taking out his phone. ¡°I don¡¯tck fans, and so don¡¯t need you.¡± Zuo Zhen closed his eyes, his voice very weak as he said, ¡°You let me go and stop being my fan ba.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: ¡­.on one hand, not cool ZZ kissing and groping LXH against his will. On the other, LXH, you really are giving off super mixed signals, so ZZ also has a point. Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here!

Chapter 112 - Extra CP (Zuo Zhen x Lu Xiuhe)-I dont deserve to be a fan Chapter 112 - Extra CP (Zuo Zhen x Lu Xiuhe)-I don¡¯t deserve to be a fan Edited by Noks Lu Xiuhe went home, took a bath, ignored Father Lu who was calling out to him, and turned to enter his room. As soon as hey down in his bed, his whole person sunk and became mired in the bedding. ¡°Already said that if you buy such a soft mattress, sooner orter your waist will get damaged ah¡­¡± He talked to himself for a long time before gradually losing his voice. He picked up his cellphone and saw that the number of unread messages from the fan support group had already reached 99 +. He¡¯d probably have to scroll through it all for a really long time to get through all of them. He had already screened the group notifications, so the reason he was still getting notifications was because someone in the groupchat was @ing him. [@Lulu, why aren¡¯t you talking?] [Why has Zhenzhen still not posted anything on Weibo ah? How about we let @Lulu ask around? Isn¡¯t he in Manyang?] [The officials haven¡¯t released any information, so how can you just ask around ah?] Lu Xiuhe opened the keyboard, typed in two words, and then just stopped. He had already been kicked out of the fandom, so what was he doing bouncing around in here? Moreover, it was the main subject of the fandom who had kicked him out. That was probably the first time in thousands of years that something like this had happened in the entertainment industry. If such news got out, it would probably lead to extravagant scenes. He thought so, but there was no joy on his face. Zuo Zhen¡¯s words continuously kept floating in the sea of his thoughts, and he couldn¡¯t shake them off. Just as he closed the groupchat, a new message immediately popped up. [Big Fan: Lulu, you there?] He could pretend to not have seen the messages sent by other people, but Big Fan usually had important matters to talk about in the middle of the night. He hesitated and then replied¡ª [Here ah, what¡¯s the matter?] [Big Fan: The group chat @you so many times, why didn¡¯t you appear?] [Just took a bath, didn¡¯t see it.] [Big Fan: Oh, I just wanted to tell you that the models have arrived. You give me your home address, and when I get the models, I¡¯ll mail one to you.] Lu Xiuhe had even decided where he would put the model. His room was a typical college-boy room, it was horribly messy. Looking around, he could only put it next to theputer. He subconsciously nced over at theputer, and it took awhile before he could type out a reply. [That ah¡­. I don¡¯t want it anymore. You look around and see who wants it, and then give it to them ba.] [Big Fan: ??] Big Fan: Are you drinking? Are you drunk?] [¡­¡­ No, I¡¯m at home.] Lu Xiuhe typed slowly, rather listless. [Um, I¡¯m leaving the fandom, so I won¡¯t be following you guys to chase after Zhenzhen anymore.] [Big Fan: ¡­. ] [Big Fan: What¡¯s your situation ah? You¡¯ve only been a fan for not too long, and you¡¯re leaving the fandom already? Can I ask why?] The speed with which the other side was replying was getting faster. Although Zuo Zhen had arge number of fans, to the point where all the messages in the fan support group couldn¡¯t be read, there were really very few male fans. The number of interesting and capable male fans like Lu Xiuhe could literally just be counted on their fingers. Because he was chatting with a stranger, he opened up a lot, blindly saying whatever came to his mind. [Nothing really. I did something that I need to apologize to Zhenzhen for. I¡¯m guilty, and I don¡¯t deserve to be a fan of Zhenzhen¡¯s.] [Big Fan: ¡­.So what, you went over to another fandom? Going over to another fandom is actually nothing, it¡¯s normal. Even if you were stanning two people, you still don¡¯t have to leave the fandom ya.] [Zhenzhen is so good that there¡¯s no one else that I¡¯d go over to another fandom for.] [Big Fan: ? Then why do you suddenly want to leave the fandom? Zhenzhen is going to go solo soon. Have you seen his performance in ¡°The Rivers and the Mountains¡±? Although it¡¯s just a supporting role, his acting is really explosive. It can¡¯t bepared with ordinary performances. Being his fan can¡¯t be a wrong step ah¡­] [Of course I have seen it. The way he delivered that quote was very powerful!] [Big Fan: That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. So how about you consider it again and not leave the fandom?] Lu Xiuhe said internally¡ªit¡¯s not that I want to leave the fandom ah. I want to be a fan of his ah. But even if I regard him as an idol, he wants to fucking sleep with me ah! Chasing after stars was too hard. [Really leaving. In a month, I¡¯m going to have to take an exam for my certificate, and there¡¯s a pile of other matters I have to attend to that¡¯s waiting for me. My hands are full. I still like him, it¡¯s just that I¡¯m leaving the fan support group. Sorry ah.] The Big Fan tried to persuade him for a long time, but seeing that she really couldn¡¯t persuade him to change his decision, she could only stop and finally, told him to study well and wished him good luck for his exams. Lu Xiuhe connected his cellphone to the charger, pulled the quilt directly over the top of his head, closed his eyes, and dozed for awhile. Then, after a moment, he suddenly lifted up his nkets, got up, and grabbed his phone. [¡­¡­ That model, you still mail it to me ba. I¡¯ve thought about it, and I¡¯m still not willing to let it go.] ¡ª¡ª Pz would return to Jincheng the very next day after the face-to-face meeting ended. ¡°Ge, you¡¯re really noting back with us?¡± Xu Min sat cross-legged beside Zuo Zhen and asked while ying with his cellphone. He was the youngest in the group, and his family background wasn¡¯t ordinary, so being an idol for him was just a hobby. In this group, which was rife with open strife and veiled struggles, he was the most peaceful one, so he was also the one in the group who had the best rtionship with Zuo Zhen. ¡°Not going back.¡± Zuo Zhen took his medicine and said, ¡°I took an annual leave for three days.¡± Xu Min put down his cellphone. ¡°Then in the event happening in two days, won¡¯t it be Lin Jia who will be in the C position? That¡¯s a big event ah, Ge.¡± Zuo Zhen shrugged and didn¡¯t reply. He had never cared about those matters. No matter where he stood, he would always dance. They were a small group, and even if he stood at the end of the line, he could still be seen by the audience. ¡°Ge, even if you want to rest for a few days, you don¡¯t have to stay in Manyang ba.¡± Xu Min blinked and asked, ¡°How about youe back with us, and then you can go to the resort my family just opened and rest there a few days?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to sound me out,¡± Zuo Zhen said, ¡°You know why I¡¯m staying.¡± Xu Min leaned back into the sofa and clicked his tongue. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that person doesn¡¯t like men?¡± ¡°En.¡± ¡°Then why do you still like him?¡± Xu Min said, ¡°Ge, I really have to give you some advice. It wasn¡¯t easy for you to get to this step, so you shouldn¡¯t risk everything in the pursuit of this small matter. Don¡¯t think that what I¡¯m saying is unpleasant to hear ah¡­ He doesn¡¯t like you, and naturally won¡¯t protect you. This matter of you liking men, as long as even a hint of it gets out, something will definitely happen. Have you considered that?¡± How could Zuo Zhen not have considered it. No one couldn¡¯t have considered it more clearly than him. Xu Min continued, ¡°Lin Jia is now looking everywhere for any mistakes you make. For such a person¡­.there¡¯s no need, Ge. There¡¯s no need.¡± Zuo Zhen stopped what he was doing with his hands and suddenly interrupted him, ¡°Xu Min.¡± Xu Min froze. ¡°Ah?¡± ¡°Why do you want to be an idol when your family is so rich?¡± ¡°I was just¡­.interested ah.¡± ¡°En.¡± Zuo Zhen said, ¡°It¡¯s a hobby for you, but it¡¯s a job for me.¡± ¡°Thepany knows your background, so they never force you to do anything. But it¡¯s different for me.¡± ¡°For this job, I have worked as an intern for two years and then have gone on tour for three years. In these five years, all my words, deeds, food, clothing, and even my hair style, all of it was decided by thepany. They told me that dyeing my hair pink would make me look distinct and showy, so I am never separated from this color in my daily life.¡± Xu Min was shocked when he heard these words. He had always thought that Zuo Zhen liked pink, which was the reason why his hair color was eternally immutable. ¡°I gave everything to my work.¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s tone was very calm as he spoke, ¡°Only these broken feelings that are left are something that I want to make my own decision on.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Although they had a good rtionship, Xu Min had never heard Zuo Zhen talk about these matters before. It wasn¡¯t until the characters in his cellphone game were killed by the enemy due to him afking that Xu Min returned to his senses. ¡°Ge, I¡¯m suddenly very curious¡­. What exactly do you like about that person ah, aren¡¯t you just online friends?¡± Only after asked that did he realize that it wasn¡¯t quite right to pose such a question. He hurriedly said, ¡°I was just randomly asking ha¡­¡± ¡°A lot of things.¡± Zuo Zhen looked away. ¡°He¡¯s cute, funny, and righteous. I like it all.¡± ¡ª¡ª ¡°Wow, this news is too fucking interesting ba? All of you open up your Weibos and look at this blogger called ¡°Entertainment Express.¡± It was the middle of the night, and a loud male voice broke the silence of the dormitory. ¡°What Weibo? Lao San, it¡¯s the middle of the night, keep your voice down. It can¡¯t be some porn site?¡± ¡°Is your mind just full of dirty waste? It¡¯s explosive news about Zuo Zhen!¡± ¡°Zuo Zhen who ah?¡± ¡°That pinkhead in Pz!¡± Lu Xiuhe, who was gripping his cellphone, vaguely heard Zuo Zhen¡¯s name, and immediately took off his earphones. He sat uppletely upright and asked, ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Why are you moving around so much¡­¡± Lao San was stunned. ¡°What did that influencer ount say about Zuo Zhen?¡± Lao San hehed. ¡°They¡¯re saying he was Peerless¡¯ boss¡¯ sugar baby for two years!¡± Lu Xiuhe grew furious. ¡°Like fucking hell he was!¡± He was so angry that he scared the people in the dorm room. ¡°What the fuck, He Zi, what are you getting so excited about?¡± ¡°This fucking dog of an influencer ount, just getting served with papers from awyer isn¡¯t enough, I¡¯m afraid one day they¡¯ll be on the road and will get beaten up by someone in a hoodie.¡± Lu Xiuhe opened the Weibo ount while cursing, and became even angrier after reading the content in the post. ¡°Not seeing stars as people every single day, and also writing about this or that, sooner orter, you¡¯ll fucking face retribution on your head!¡± Lao San said, ¡°I think ba, if they dare to say it with such detailed descriptions, it shouldn¡¯t be a groundless im. It¡¯s sure that such a matter would have left some signs, and you guys look below, there are even pictures.¡± ¡°It¡¯s also called picture evidence when two people are walking side by side?¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°I¡¯m walking with you, it can¡¯t be that you¡¯re also my sugar baby?¡± Lao San was shocked. ¡°Fuck, how the fuck is that the same, we¡¯re not gay! Look at this Zuo Zhen, one look and you can tell he¡¯s gay. The entertainment circle is messy, and being a sugar baby isn¡¯t unusual¡­ And you can see that the references being made by this influencer ount really are better than other people¡¯s ah.¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s voice was cold as he argued, ¡°No matter whether he is gay or not, you can¡¯t just blindly say he was a sugar baby.¡± ¡°What are you being so indignant for ah, I¡¯m just telling the truth.¡± Looking at the negativements at the bottom of the post, Lao San thought that every one of them made sense. ¡°I heard that he was always getting hurt all year round, and it¡¯s because Peerless¡¯ boss was being too happy while ying around. These past few days when he took a rest break were also¡­ because something went wrong when he was being tossed around. So I look down upon this kind of person the most. A big man with perfectly working hands and feet can do anything, but he just had to go run to sell¡­¡± Lao San had just finished his sentence when suddenly, he felt the bed shake. Before he knew it, he saw the person in the upper bunk jump down in a fiery and stormy way. He was stunned. ¡°He Zi, what are you doing? Going to the bath¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, he felt his cor being pulled up. Bang! The fist that mmed into Lao San¡¯s face directly woke him up. No one in the whole dorm had managed to react to this yet. Lu Xiuhe was so angry that he jumped up again, and he was even gnashing his teeth as he spoke, ¡°Do you fucking know him? If you don¡¯t know him, why do you nder him behind his back?¡± ¡°Fuck you!¡± Lao San immediately fought back, and he swung his fists out as well. ¡°It couldn¡¯t be that you do know him ah? You know he didn¡¯t do this kind of thing? You¡¯re sick ah, hitting people for a star?¡± Lu Xiuhe shouted, ¡°I do fucking know him! I just know he wouldn¡¯t do this kind of thing!¡± When the others saw this, all of their sleepiness disappeared, and they all got up to stop him. By the time this farce was over, it was already two o¡¯clock in the morning. Because it was Lu Xiuhe who had made the first move andter, when asked by the dorm manager, he had admitted to it, so at two o¡¯clock in the morning, it was Father Lu who came to pick him up from the school. ¡°Everything was fine, how could you just start fighting with someone¡­¡± Father Lu took a look in the rearview mirror, just wanting to lecture his son. However, he saw his face, which had been beaten purple and red, and his depressed expression, and he couldn¡¯t make himself say any of the words he had wanted to scold him with. Lu Xiuhe stared at his cellphone, strongly nursing his grievances. This influencer ount had made this post in the middle of the night, so the PR team for Peerless hadn¡¯te out yet. The post still hadn¡¯t been deleted yet and had already been forwarded over 4000 times now. There were even a bunch of side ounts that had nothing better to do than to crazily @Zuo Zhen. They had even published the link to the post right under Zuo Zhen¡¯stest post, in fear that the hate wouldn¡¯t reach him. The fan support group was also in a furor right now. [This influencer ount is too unbridled ba? After getting served so many papers bywyers, they still dare to do this??] [It¡¯s okay. It¡¯s the middle of the night, so not many people should have seen it.] [It¡¯s over¡­. I just used the query app to have a look, and Zhenzhen is looking at Weibo right now.] It was sote. If it had been thepany¡¯s staff logging on, then that Weibo post would have already been torn down by the PR team. ¡­¡­ It was probably Zuo Zhen who had logged in. Zuo Zhen hadn¡¯t been feeling well these days, and if he saw this kind of thing, he definitely wouldn¡¯t feel any better. Lu Xiuhe held his cellphone, fighting against himself in his heart. If there was no one taking care of Zuo Zhen, then was he still running a fever, and if the fever continued on for too long, wouldn¡¯t something go wrong with his head ba? What if¡­ what if he sent over a message to ask? Even if Zuo Zhen only replied to him with a period, he would still feel at ease looking at that period. The injury at the corner of his mouth throbbed faintly. Lu Xiuhe hissed, and then bashfully opened up WeChat. ¡°The stuff on Weibo is just antis stirring up shit. Your fans will believe you. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Lu Xiuhe finished typing this line, stared at it for a long time, then deleted it. ¡°Are you on Weibo?¡± Delete. ¡°Are you better?¡± Delete. ¡°Zuo Zhen, you¡¯re fine ba?¡± That¡¯s it! Lu Xiuhe gritted his teeth and clicked send. The moment the message was sent out, his heart beat very fast. But immediately after, the little excitement he was expecting from getting a reply was snuffed out, without even a spark of it remaining. [Z has turned on friend verification. You are not his (her) friend yet.] Lu Xiuhe froze and stared at his cellphone for a long time,pletely unable to react to it. He¡­ had been cklisted? He took a deep breath and quickly opened QQ to try and find Zuo Zhen in his friend¡¯s list. He wasn¡¯t there. He wasn¡¯t in his recent contacts, his friend list, and wasn¡¯t popping up even when he searched for his ount. Even his QQ had been deleted? It seemed as if Lu Xiuhe had been heavily punched by someone and then pushed to the bottom of a cliff. He held his cellphone tightly and wasn¡¯t able to return to his senses for a long time. Then what about their chat records from the past few months? ¡­¡­ Were they also gone? All gone? Just now, when he had been fighting with Lao San, he had gotten punched several times. Now, that pain finally welled up, irritating his head and making it ache. It was at this moment that he really understood that Zuo Zhen was determined topletely disappear from his life. No wonder Zuo Zhen had made this decision, it had been him who had abandoned the other person first. Very good. Lu Xiuhe locked the screen of his cellphone, tightly clenched it in his hand, looked out of the window at one of the fleeting street lights, and suddenly felt unwell from head to toe. He felt that his being had incarnated into a yellow lotus, and his bitterness could spread up to three miles away. It shouldn¡¯t be this way ah. It was he who didn¡¯t want to have anything else to do with Zuo Zhen. Regarding Zuo Zhen¡¯s decision to give up, he should be happy about it, and if not that, he should at least feel relieved. ¡­¡­ However he was, he shouldn¡¯t be like this at least. While driving, Father Lu kept wanting to speak, but then kept hesisting as well, and this continued for a long time. Finally, they stopped at a red light, so he turned around and asked, ¡°Does your face hurt¡­. He Zi? What¡¯s going on with you? Don¡¯t feel good?¡± He just saw Lu Xiuhe slump forward and bury his face in his palms. He shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯m just¡­ it hurts a little.¡± Father Lu asked anxiously, ¡°Aiya, who told you to go provoke others, serves you right to be beaten like this.¡± ¡°He cursed out my partner.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°I couldn¡¯t stand it.¡± ¡°That¡¯s really intolerable¡­¡± In the middle of the conversation, Father Lu stopped and asked, ¡°Wait a minute, your partner? When did you get a partner? How old are they? Are they your ssmate? What are they like? Why didn¡¯t you bring them back for us to take a look at?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t bring them back.¡± Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t cry. Even if he was suffering, it was unmanly to cry after all. He sat up straight. ¡°We split up.¡± Father Lu was stunned. ¡°Why?¡± Not being able to be honest, Lu Xiuhe just said, ¡°That person was too good, I don¡¯t deserve them.¡± Father Lu¡¯s expression wasplicated, and he thought that his son must have been beaten until he had gone silly. After a long silence, he nodded. ¡°Yes. You can¡¯t even win a fight, so I can see why you don¡¯t deserve them.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: ¡­.I guess LXH takes after his dad. Noooo LXH don¡¯t lose heart, I feel like ZZ hasn¡¯t quite given up on you yet based on what he told his group member! Please check out and support the raws if you can!

There was a milk tea shop near Lu Xiuhe¡¯s school, but he actually didn¡¯t really like sweets, so hepletely didn¡¯t know whether the milk tea was good or not. He had blurted out that sentence just now in a hurry. However, seeing the long line in front of the milk tea shop, probably the milk tea couldn¡¯t be that bad. Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Can you see the menu up there? What do you want to drink, I¡¯ll get it in line to buy it. ¡± Zuo Zhen was wearing a mask. His voice was originally rtively low and deep, and now it was even heavier. ¡°Line up together.¡± Maybe his voice was too recognizable, so several female students who were discussing what to drink suddenly stopped talking and turned around all together. Lu Xiuhe hurriedly moved forward, turning around to block in front of Zuo Zhen, leaving them only a figure to see. ¡°You¡¯re wearing such an obvious disguise that I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll be recognized,¡± he said. Zuo Zhen replied, ¡°I won¡¯t, I¡¯ve never been recognized while wearing this before.¡± Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t really believe him. ¡°But your hair is showing.¡± The capacity of the cap itself wasn¡¯t much. Zuo Zhen felt along the edge of the cap, and felt the twist of hair that he had specifically left outside the cap. ¡°Possibly didn¡¯t wear it right.¡± Zuo Zhen turned around very naturally, ¡°You can help me to stuff it back in.¡± Lu Xiuh was just toozy to bother to take care of his hair, so he just did a buzzcut. He had lived for 20 years without really having to touch ab, relying on just his two hands. ¡°I¡¯m not very good at that¡­ What if it gets messed up? ¡± Zuo Zhen replied, ¡°If it does get messed up, no one will see.¡± So Lu Xiuhe had to use his hands to stuff it back in. Although Zuo Zhen¡¯s hair looked as though it had been straightened, bleached, and dyed many times, it felt soft to the touch. He used his fingertips to press it down and carefully stuffed it into his hat. In the process, he brushed against Zuo Zhen¡¯s neck several times. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Zuo Zhen¡¯s fever really had subsided; his temperature at his touch was no longer that scary. After finishing, the line had just moved forward. Lu Xiuhe quickly took back his hand, turned back around, and said, ¡°Okay done. With that much hair, isn¡¯t it a lot of trouble to take care of it normally?¡± ¡°It is a lot of trouble.¡± Zuo Zhen said, ¡°But there is a special person to take care of it.¡± ¡°Yes, no wonder it¡¯s so soft¡­¡± In the middle of saying that, Lu Xiuhe stopped. He felt a sudden warmth covering his head ¨C Zuo Zhen had raised his hand and neither lightly nor heavily rubbed his little buzzcut twice. He didn¡¯t have much hair and could clearly feel the warmth of the other party¡¯s palm. ¡°But I prefer hair like yours,¡± said Zuo Zhen. Lu Xiuhe¡¯s hair pricked a bit at his hand, but it didn¡¯t hurt; it felt inexplicably nice. ¡°¡­¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe in this moment fell to stuttering, ¡°Then-then you can get it cut like that bei. Anyway, no matter how you cut it, you won¡¯t be ugly. ¡± He had his back to him, so he couldn¡¯t see how Zuo Zhen¡¯s eyes darkened with his words. ¡°Okay.¡± Zuo Zhen said, ¡°When I have a chance, I¡¯ll go cut it.¡± Feeling the weight off his head, Lu Xiuhe hurriedly followed with a sigh of relief. Fuck, if his heartbeat could be felt from his scalp, he could have just directly beat against Zuo Zhen¡¯s palm like a drum. ¡°Zhenzhen still hasn¡¯t made a Weibo post yet¡­ I¡¯m really worried ya. ¡± This sentence came from the several girls in front of him, which gave Lu Xiuhe a scare. Zuo Zhen though was calm, not even turning his gaze from the menu above. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Although Zhenzhen didn¡¯t make a post, didn¡¯t Peerless, that sillypany, also not send out any urgent notice.¡± ¡°It¡¯s putting out nothing that¡¯s really scary. Look at the legal notices Peerless sent out before, they were all about small trivial matters. Also those legal notices were worth shit all, even Laoniang using both her hands to type is more awesome.¡± These Meizi spoke so strongly ah. Lu Xiuhe saying in his Weiboment that his school had a Zuo Zhen¡¯s fan group wasn¡¯tplete nonsense. Their school really did have one, and Lao Da¡¯s ex girlfriend was in that fan group. It was just that one look was worth a thousand words, and today, he actually ran into them. Since there were fans, he really couldn¡¯t let them recognize Zuo Zhen. So Lu Xiuhe pretty much for the entire time they spent in line didn¡¯t dare to talk, but also desperately followed Zuo Zhen. When Zuo Zhen asked something, he could just give a faltering answer Finally it was their turn. He stood aside and said, ¡°Have you decided yet, what do you want to drink?¡± ¡°Same as you,¡± said Zuo Zhen. Lu Xiuhe froze. ¡°I¡¯m not drinking.¡± ¡°Hello, it¡¯s the first time for both of you to visit our store ba.¡± The cashier smiled and said, ¡°Our store¡¯s Oreo cake milk tea is very delicious; it¡¯s a new product. Would you two like to try it?¡± Feeling Zuo Zhen¡¯s eyes on him, Lu Xiuhe could only randomly nod, ¡°Then¡­ Two cups, thank you. ¡± The seats in the shop were already so full they were about to burst, so after buying the milk tea, the two of them had to go outside. This time, Lu Xiuhe was afraid that Zuo Zhen was really going to go. He stared at the bag in his hand and licked his lips, ¡°Um, your snail rice noodles must be all dried out now ba. If I knew there would be so many people in the milk tea shop, I wouldn¡¯t have rmended it to you.¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s face remained unchanged as he asked him, ¡°Did you really rmend it to me because it was tasty?¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe inwardly said no but outwardly said, ¡°Of course.¡± ¡°Then why aren¡¯t you drinking yours?¡± Lu Xiuhe immediately tried to cover up by taking a deep sip on the straw. Shit, it was really fucking sweet. He felt like he had a week¡¯s worth of sugar. ¡°This one is a little sweet.¡± He said, ¡°Yourpany should want you to manage your body ba? Don¡¯t drink too much, or else losing weight will be tiring ¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need to lose weight,¡± Zuo Zhen said Back when he had just entered the business, because he had seen too many negativements on his appearance, he had developed some psychological problems and had even nearly copsed. Let alone losing weight, and he had had to even gain weight in order to build his image. Fortunately, he had adjusted quickly, and now, he wasn¡¯t even startled when facing a whole wave of anti-fans. He didn¡¯t know if it had been a habit developed since back then, but he hadn¡¯t grown fat since then. He was already used to his weight and knew what number he should be at. He didn¡¯t need to worry about it at all. Lu Xiuhe didn¡¯t dare drink any more. He put down the milk tea and pointed to the snail rice noodles in Zuo Zhen¡¯s hand. ¡°It must be cold now, how about I buy you another one.¡± ¡°No need,¡± Zuo Zhen refused Lu Xiuhe could let out a small ¡°oh¡± then say, ¡°Then¡­. Is someoneing to pick you up? Do you want me to call you a car? ¡± Zuo Zhen stared at him and said, ¡°I¡¯m not leaving yet.¡± ¡°By the time I get back there, the rice noodles will have dried out. Find a ce nearby and eat it first ba.¡± Lu Xiuhe chose one of the worst restaurants near the school. There were few guests, and they sat in the corner, where almost no one would notice them. Zuo Zhen pulled down his mask and took two mouthfuls of rice noodles very naturally. When drinking that cup of milk tea, his eyebrows obviously wrinkled. Lu Xiuhe was a bit embarrassed, ¡°Is it too sweet? If you don¡¯t want to drink it, I¡¯ll go buy you a bottle of mineral water? ¡± ¡°It¡¯s a little sweet.¡± Zuo Zhen pushed the milk tea in front of him. ¡°If you like it, I¡¯ll give it all to you to drink.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Seeing that he didn¡¯t move, Zuo Zhen raised his eyebrows. Lu Xiuhe could only pull the cup of milk tea to himself. In the process, he identally bumped his elbow against the paper bag beside him, which sessfully attracted Zuo Zhen¡¯s gaze. ¡°What is that.¡± ¡°Ah, this.¡± Lu Xiuhe only then just remembered that his female ssmate had just handed him this. He picked it up and said, ¡°I also don¡¯t know¡­¡± Inside the bag was another packing box, which looked very delicate. Lu Xiuhe put the box on the table and casually opened it¡ª¡ª Insidey a brown scarf. Although the knitting method was normal, there was a small ¡°L¡± on one corner of the scarf. You could tell that the other party had knit that part very carefully. There was a postcard lying under the scarf. Lu Xiuhe could pretty much smell the perfume on the card, as light and pleasant-smelling as a young girl¡¯s heart. At this point, even a fool could tell what this was. Lu Xiuhe¡¯s movements froze for a moment, and he dared not flip over the postcard. For a while, neither of them spoke. It wasn¡¯t that Lu Xiuhe had never had girls confessing to him before, but he had never met one that he liked, so he was still single. If this was during ordinary times, although he wouldn¡¯t ept the confession of the other party, he would still be happy when he suddenly received a girl¡¯s advances. That could also just count as the temperament of a smelly man ba. But this time was different. This scarf in the middle was like¡­ He had had an affair and was now caught with physical evidence. He didn¡¯t know if this metaphor was inappropriate, but anyway, he was worried and regretful at this time. ¡°Um, that girl probably saw that I had a cold some time ago, so she gave me this. It¡¯s really¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe paused and said, ¡°A moving ssmate friendship ah!.¡± Zuo Zhen looked away and said, ¡°Cover it up ba.¡± Lu Xiuhe hurriedly tried to close it, but in the end the other party said another sentence. ¡°After all, it¡¯s a confession gift. It wouldn¡¯t be good for it to be sshed by the oil of the snail rice noodles.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°This girl and I are only in the same elective course. Normally we haven¡¯t even spoken a few words, we don¡¯t even have each other¡¯s phone number¡­¡± ¡°I know. No need to exin it to me.¡± Zuo Zhen interrupted him. He put down his chopsticks, raised his head, and weaklyughed. ¡°Very good, congrattions.¡± Lu Xiuhe froze. ¡°Congrattions for what?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it just perfect?¡± Zuo Zhen said, ¡°That girl seemed to be the type you like.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe closed the box and ced it exactly as it had been back into the bag. ¡°What type do I like ah?¡± ¡°You said it yourself, and now you¡¯vepletely forgotten?¡± Lu Xiuhe thought about it for a long time before he remembered. Before online, Zuo Zhen had once asked him what kind of girl he liked. He had said he liked gentle, rational, and steady girls. But that¡¯s what he had fucking said when he had wanted to charm Zuo Zhen, and he had just said that based on Zuo Zhen¡¯s own temperament at the time. Before Zuo Zhen, he had never liked anyone. How could he know what kind of person he would like in the future? Zuo Zhen finished eating the rice noodles, picked up the napkin, and wiped his mouth. Suddenly he said, ¡°After you are with her, you don¡¯t need to wear these shoes anymore ba.¡± ¡°Otherwise, letting her know that these shoes are from your ex, I¡¯m afraid it isn¡¯t very appropriate.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°I¡¯m not nning on being with her¡­¡± ¡°In the future there must be someone you¡¯re with, so I¡¯m just telling you in advance.¡± Zuo Zhen slowly closed the stic bag, ¡°Swear less, girls don¡¯t like to listen to cursing. Don¡¯t be so grumpy all the time. Don¡¯t date online anymore, the Inte is full of liars. Don¡¯t be tricked a second time.¡± The more Lu Xiuhe heard, the more he thought something was wrong. Why did he feel like¡­ Zuo Zhen was saying goodbye to him? ¡°Zuo Zhen¡­¡± Something rang, and Lu Xiuhe reflexively looked at the cellphone on the dining table. It was the ¡°assistant¡± again. This time, Zuo Zhen didn¡¯t just hang up. He took the call and said, ¡°En. There was something just now, so I couldn¡¯t pick up¡­ En, it¡¯s already done. Drive over here ba, I¡¯ll wait for you at the ce where I got off. ¡± Lu Xiuhe heard this and fell into a daze. He didn¡¯t get up until Zuo Zhen hung up and stood up. ¡°You¡¯re leaving?¡± ¡°En.¡± Zuo Zhen said, ¡°Goodbye.¡± Goodbye again. Why does he hate that word so much. Lu Xiuhe felt upset and couldn¡¯t help following him, ¡°There are many people around here. Let me send you off ba.¡± Zuo Zhen didn¡¯t refuse. After lunch time, there were actually already not many people in the street. They walked one person ahead and one person behind to an empty alley. Lu Xiuhe saw a car parked in the street at the other end of the alley. It was probably here to pick up Zuo Zhen. Lu Xiuhe repeatedly wanted to open his mouth, but he kept thinking of Zuo Zhen¡¯s ¡°let me go ba¡°, so he could only hold back his words. He tried to slow down, but Zuo Zhen, with a pair of long legs, strode ahead, leaving him no time to think. Seeing that he was about to go to the end of the alley, Lu Xiuhe held the stic bag, feeling his heart beat with difort and suddenly felt at his wits¡¯ end. Just then, Zuo Zhen suddenly stopped. His back was still facing him, and he suddenly said, ¡°That snail rice noodle wasn¡¯t especially delicious.¡± This topic is a bit abrupt. Lu Xiuhe froze for a long time before answering, ¡°Maybe it sat there too long, and it was cold¡­¡± ¡°But it doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Zuo Zhen turned around, his eyebrows smooth, and even his eyes were gentle. ¡°I didn¡¯te here to eat snail rice noodles.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°I came to see you onest time. I¡¯m about to go back to Jincheng, and even if Ie back to Manyang, I won¡¯t see you again. ¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe felt that his throat was especially bitter, and he heard that his voice was hoarse. ¡°It¡¯s not that we can¡¯t see each other. I usually have a lot of time. If youe again¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s that I don¡¯t want to see you, baby.¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s voice was very tired. ¡°You should know that.¡± That ¡°baby¡± pierced straight through Lu Xiuhe¡¯s heart. . Zuo Zhen had online called him ¡°baby¡± many times. After the two of them had met in real life, this word had never appeared again. He didn¡¯t expect that he would actually hear this word in their farewell. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to have left you with bad memories.¡± Zuo Zhen said. Lu Xiuhe¡¯s nose had gonepletely sour. ¡°No¡­ It¡¯s me who wasn¡¯t good, I was the one who left you with bad memories.¡± He couldn¡¯t say exactly what wasn¡¯t good about him, but anyway, he hadn¡¯t been good. ¡°No.¡± Zuo Zhen said, ¡°You told me before that the scenery in the school was very beautiful. Although I didn¡¯t go in, I also saw it from the outside. It is very beautiful.¡± ¡°You are also exactly what I like. I have no bad memories.¡± Lu Xiuhe this time really felt that he was about to cry. He hadn¡¯t even shed tearsst night when he was punched in the eye by Lao San, but now his eyes felt very hot. Afraid that Zuo Zhen would find out, he quickly lowered his head. His phone rang again, but Zuo Zhen didn¡¯t answer it. He said, ¡°My assistant is urging me. I¡¯m going now.¡± Lu Xiuhe gasped and nodded. Zuo Zhen raised his hand and touched his little buzzcut again. He sighed nearly soundlessly, ¡°Goodbye.¡± Zuo Zhen turned around and walked towards the end of the alley. Lu Xiuhe only then discovered that the other party was wearing almost the same type of shoes as him. It was couple-wear. His was the male style, and Zuo Zhen¡¯s was the women¡¯s style. The biggest size of this shoe¡¯s women¡¯s style was 43. As a former moderator of the Zuo Zhen support group, Lu Xiuhe was very clear that Zuo Zhen¡¯s shoe size was 45. Him wearing it like that was obviously too small for him, and he didn¡¯t know how Zuo Zhen had stuffed his feet into them. This was a very ceremonial farewell. Would those shoes be thrown into the corner by Zuo Zhen to gather dust after he headed back? After all, they didn¡¯t fit well ah. Lu Xiuhe¡¯s vision waspletely blurred by his tears. He could only hear the footsteps of Zuo Zhen as he walked along the road and the ringing of his phone. When the phone stopped ringing, Lu Xiuhe only had one thought in his mind. He didn¡¯t want Zuo Zhen to go. He suddenly raised his head and ran uncontrobly forward at an astonishing speed. The sound of his running was echoed throughout the alley. Before Zuo Zhen could even turn his head, he was embraced by him. Such a big man running into him, the collision couldn¡¯t be underestimated, but Zuo Zhen just stepped back a few steps and then stood firm. ¡°Zuo Zhen.¡± In fact, Lu Xiuhe hadn¡¯t wanted to embrace him, he had just wanted to catch him and hold him still. He tightly held Zuo Zhen¡¯s coat with his hands, the stic bag having long ago been left aside by him. He said in a hoarse voice, ¡°I also have no bad memories, really.¡± Zuo Zhen became out of sorts for half an instant, but then very soon recovered as usual. He patted the back of Lu Xiuhe¡¯s hand, then very gently pulled his hand away, ¡°Is that right? Then that¡¯s good. ¡± Seeing Zuo Zhen take another step, Lu Xiuhe this time frantically directly grabbed his hand. Zuo Zhen looked back, raised his eyebrows, and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Zuo Zhen, I don¡¯t like that girl, and I also don¡¯t like gentle, rational, and steady girls,¡± he said. Zuo Zhen fell silent for a bit, ¡°You don¡¯t have to tell me the type of girl you like.¡± Lu Xiuhe shook his head. ¡°I just like the kind like you,¡± he said He raised his shoulders, quickly wiped away his tears, and met Zuo Zhen¡¯s gaze. ¡°¡­there¡¯s no girl I like, and there¡¯s also no type I like, I just like you. ¡± The embers at the bottom of Zuo Zhen¡¯s eyes lit up faintly, but very soon went out again. Heughed, his tone slightly self mocking, ¡°That¡¯s a pity then, I¡¯m not a girl.¡± ¡°It has nothing to do with if you¡¯re a man or woman¡ª¡± ¡°But you said before, you don¡¯t like men.¡± ¡°I did say that¡­¡± ¡°So what are you doing right now?¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s face had no smiles left. He looked at Lu Xiuhe, and his voice grew colder. ¡°Saying that you like me, making me keep staying here, making me keep stupidly waiting, waiting until the day you like men?¡± Lu Xiuhe hurriedly said, ¡°It¡¯s not like that¡­¡± ¡°¡ªI can wait.¡± Lu Xiuhe was stunned. Zuo Zhen looked at him, his expression bing pitiful and sad. He said, ¡°Lu Xiuhe, as long as you keep me, I¡¯m willing to wait.¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s heart seemed to be clenched in his hand; it hurt badly. The man who on the stage was adored and chased after by millions of people, in front of him lowered his head and put himself in the most humble ce. Fucking hell¡­. What did he count as? Lu Xiuhe thought, what was good about him, that was worth Zuo Zhen acting like this towards him? Zuo Zhen¡¯s face was pained, and he said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to go, I don¡¯t want to give up, and I¡¯m not willing to just go.¡± ¡°As long as you give me a word, give me a little hope to keep going on, okay?¡± Hearing this, Lu Xiuhe was so distressed. It shouldn¡¯t be like this. The Zuo Zhen that he liked, he should have held him in the palm of his hand and loved him dearly. He should use a fluorescent stick to trace out a flower road for him. When Zuo Zhen saw that he was slow to respond, his newly raised heart fell heavily back down again. ¡°Sorry, I forgot myself.¡± He wanted to put away his feelings andugh, but even thatugh was bitter. ¡°So that hug just now, it was a farewell hug?¡± ¡°No.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°That hug, and now this, are not for saying farewell to you.¡± Zuo Zhen asked, ¡°Then¡­¡± Without waiting for him to finish talking, Lu Xiuhe raised his hand and hooked it around Zuo Zhen¡¯s neck. He pulled down Zuo Zhen¡¯s mask and kissed him clumsily and eagerly. ¡ª Juurensha: !!! Good job LXH for finally going for it! Also, this is like my third time reading this chapter, and I¡¯m still unsure of what ZZ¡¯s exact game n here was. I feel like maybe it was a giant gamble, a go big or go home measure.

Chapter 115 - Extra CP (Zuo Zhen x Lu Xiuhe)-Fool. Chapter 115 - Extra CP (Zuo Zhen x Lu Xiuhe)-Fool. Edited by Noks Lu Xiuhe¡¯s mind shed with a lot of ideas in that short minute. But before he could catch hold of any of them, he had already gone and kissed the other person. Zuo Zhen¡¯s mouth contained the minty vor from the milk tea shop, and was especially sweet. Pretty much at the moment he stuck himself onto him, Zuo Zhen opened his lips in a very cooperative manner, but he didn¡¯t take the initiative, waiting for Lu Xiuhe to enter instead. He had already gone this far, so the Great Lord Lu really had nothing to be a wuss about¡­ No, the Great Lord Lu was wussing out a bit right now. The Great Lord Lu bumped his mouth against the other¡¯s a few times, and then wanted to leave. His forehead lowered against Zuo Zhen¡¯s cap, nearly knocking it off. The brim at the front had already been lifted, revealing a great mass of pink hair. Although there were few people in the alley, it wasn¡¯tpletely empty. He had panicked and had been trying to get away because he had just heard some footsteps. He instinctively started to raise his hand to block out Zuo Zhen¡¯s face from any onlooker, but who would have known that Zuo Zhen would take action before he could. Zuo Zhen was wearing a gray hoodie today. With crisp actions, he took off his cap with one hand and with his other, pulled up the hood of his hoodie over his head. Closely following this series of actions, he held Lu Xiuhe¡¯s neck in one hand and pressed him forward, towards himself. His hoodie then covered both their faces, and he started kissing him again¡ª¡ª Lu Xiuhe¡¯s eyes widened. He hadn¡¯t expected Zuo Zhen to be so bold. The footstepsing from nearby were getting closer and closer, while the grinding and rubbing of the other person¡¯s lips and tongue against his own were gentle and lingering. Fuck, wasn¡¯t this too fucking stimting ba?! Lu Xiuhe felt as if he was currently shooting a ¡°Exposed in the Dark Alley.avi¡± file. He heard the footsteps slow down, and unclear whispers soon followed after. Their tone made it seem that they weren¡¯t disgusted, and instead sounded more curious and surprised. He didn¡¯t know what these people were curious about. He only knew that if Zuo Zhen was recognized, then he could only offer up his own life as penance. So he could only embrace Zuo Zhen¡¯s neck again and press his head down tighter, so as to hide those strands of pink hair in the front of other¡¯s sight. This action deepened the kiss. In the eyes of those outsiders, with the current intensity of this kiss, who knew what would happen in the next second. From the side, Lu Xiuhe heard someone draw in a breath. By the time these onlookers left, Lu Xiuhe had already been pushed against a wall by Zuo Zhen. Before he could stop him, he felt his jacket being lifted up rather suddenly, and only then did that familiar warmth return to his lips. His heart leaped, and he quickly avoided Zuo Zhen¡¯s lips as he said, ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡­¡± ¡°I just want to confirm something,¡± Zuo Zhen said. ¡°Confirm what?¡± ¡°Last time, I kept thinking that it felt really good touching you here.¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s voice was low as he felt Lu Xiuhe¡¯s abs. He asked, ¡°Did you train to build these?¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s palm wasn¡¯t delicate, rather, it was a little rough. It felt pretty special as it caressed his abs, and only after a few moments did Lu Xiuhe think that this wasn¡¯t good. If Zuo Zhen kept touching him like that, he was afraid that something else of his was going to stand up soon. ¡°No, maybe I got them from ying basketball and stuff regrly ba¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°Don¡¯t you also have them?¡± Zuo Zhen nodded, suddenly grabbed Lu Xiuhe¡¯s hand, and pulled it down under the hem of his shirt, and then, in an ingratiating tone, said, ¡°I have them oh.¡± Internally, Lu Xiuhe said¡ª Of course, I fucking know you do. I didn¡¯t look through all those videos and photos carefully in this period of time for nothing. He had just been about to take back his hand in refusal, but as soon as he touched Zuo Zhen¡¯s abs, he couldn¡¯t even utter any words of refusal anymore. Holy shit. It really did feel good to touch. It was totally different from those little soft abs on his stomach. One touch and you would know that these were the real deal. No wait&#k2026; How had they gotten to this segment of mutuallyparing abs? Lu Xiuhe quickly took back his hand. His eyes were still damp, and the base of his ears were red as he asked, ¡°Don¡¯t keep flirting&#k2026; isn¡¯t your assistant still waiting?¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s smile disappeared at this. He stared at Lu Xiuhe and asked, ¡°What did you mean by kissing me just now?¡± Lu Xiuhe froze. After that sudden burst of energy fizzled out, all that was left was a sense of shame. He said, ¡°Then-then what did you mean by the several times before when you kissed me?¡± ¡°I kissed you because I liked you.¡± Zuo Zhen asked, ¡°Do you like me?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± admitted the Great Lord Lu with a shy face. ¡°Since I¡¯ve kissed you, I will be responsible for you.¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s throat moved. ¡°What about you?¡± ¡°I-I will definitely be responsible for you too ah.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°It¡¯s not like I¡¯m a scum man!¡± ¡°How will you be responsible for me?¡± ¡°How else can I be responsible for you?¡± Lu Xiuhe, this person, possessed a bit of a one-track mind. For example, previously, when he had felt that he couldn¡¯t like men, he could harden his heart several times and push the other person away. Now that he had thought it through, his thought process was even more straight-forward. He said, ¡°I¡¯ll chase you bei.¡± Zuo Zhen was stunned. Even with all of his prior calctions, he had never reckoned that Lu Xiuhe would say something like that. He resisted his urge to smile and continued to frown while asking, ¡°¡­How do you want to chase me?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t know yet.¡± Lu Xiuhe scratched his head and answered sincerely, ¡°When I go back, I¡¯ll ask some of my dorm-mates who are good at doing that.¡± Zuo Zhen thought that this person was really too pleasing to his eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t go ask.¡± Zuo Zhen put his cap back on his head and said in a bewitching tone, ¡°If you kiss me again¡­ I¡¯ll be yours.¡± Lu Xiuhe¡ªthis king of tearing into people with words, this bronze ranked yer in terms of dating experience¡ªwas directly tantalized silly with this sentence of Zuo Zhen¡¯s. It wasn¡¯t his fault. He didn¡¯t believe that if anyone else had been on this spot right now, they would have been able to resist Zuo Zhen¡¯s words. So he didn¡¯t hesitate at all when he kissed him. Lu Xiuhe had once beenughed at by his roommates, who had teased him by saying that he was 22 years old and leaving aside the fact that he was a virgin, he was even someone who was still saving his first kiss. They had even asked if he believed that he could develop some kind of love magic if he saved his first kiss until he turned 30. He didn¡¯t know if there was any love magic, but he had gotten and stored away the big gift of a kiss at 22. Now, he could even count being kissed until he felt great. After a brief kiss that was just like a dragonfly skimming over water, he said, ¡°Alright¡­ Your assistant is going to go frantic waiting for you.¡± ¡°He went back,¡± Zuo Zhen said. Lu Xiuhe was startled. ¡°Went back? No, why didn¡¯t he wait for you ah? Call him back quickly, or else once ss starts up again, there will be even more people here.¡± Zuo Zhen took out his cellphone and after ying with it for a bit, he said, ¡°It¡¯s turned off, maybe he waited too long for me ba.¡± ¡°Hey¡­ Your assistant¡¯s temper isn¡¯t very good,¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Then what do we do now ah?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll wait for him in the street ba. He¡¯lle back to pick me up when he¡¯s done being angry.¡± After hearing this, Lu Xiuhe rolled up his sleeves and pulled out his cellphone while scolding, ¡°How can you wait in the street¡­ Fuck, what kind of garbagepany is Peerless, giving you such a crappy assistant. Just watch me if I don¡¯t end them, I¡¯ll buy a trending search, and I¡¯ll me them until they see reason¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t, it¡¯s very troublesome to be in a trending search.¡± Zuo Zhen pressed his cellphone and slowly spit out a sentence, ¡°How about you can take me away ba?¡± Lu Xiuhe definitely couldn¡¯t just leave this person on the street. Those rough old men in his dorm couldn¡¯t keep their mouths shut very well. Besides, he had just fought with Lao San over Zuo Zhen, so he couldn¡¯t take him to his dorm. It was even more impossible for them to sit in the coffee shop nearby. Just now, the waiter from before had already thought it strange that Zuo Zhen was covered up so tightly. Ten minutester, Lu Xiuhe opened the door to a room in the most upscale hotel near the school. He said it was the most upscale, but it was actually not that great, though it was still better than the many other hostels near the school. As soon as he entered the room, Zuo Zhen said that he was carrying the smell of the snail rice noodles on him and turned to enter the bathroom. As soon as he closed the bathroom door, the cellphone in his palm vibrated. Zuo Zhen picked up the phone and looked at it. It was a text message from his assistant¡ª ¡°Zhen Ge, what did you mean by calling me just now? Didn¡¯t you tell me to go back to Jincheng first? You couldn¡¯t have had something happen to you ba?¡± ¡°Where do you want me to pick you up? Aren¡¯t you in the hotel right now?¡± ¡°Send me a period if something¡¯s wrong! I¡¯ll go back and save you right away!¡± Zuo Zhen casually replied with a few words¡ª ¡°I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s inconvenient to call right now, I¡¯ll tell you about itter.¡± ¡ª¡ª Hearing the sound of the bathroom door opening, Lu Xiuhe raised his eyes and saw Zuo Zhen, who just had a towel wrapped around his lower body, stride out. Zuo Zhen¡¯s figure was famous in fan circles. He had wide shoulders, long legs, and excellent proportions. When he had clothes on, he looked like he was about to catwalk down a runway, and with clothes off, he looked like a model. Even his professional anti-fans would avoid this topic, otherwise a big ¡°anti-manifesto¡± aimed at this topic would soon be flooded byments from passers-by who loved perfect bodies. So it¡¯s perfectly understandable that I¡¯ve gone silly for a while¡ªwas what the Great Lord Lu thought to himself. By the time he came back to his senses, Zuo Zhen was already sitting beside him, and the sofa sank gently with his movements. ¡°Is there any smell left?¡± Zuo Zhen stretched himself out in front of Lu Xiuhe and said, ¡°You smell me.¡± ¡°There isn¡¯t any.¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s heart was beating as loud as a drum, but his face was very calm. ¡°You didn¡¯t smell in the first ce.¡± The water from the ends of Zuo Zhen¡¯s hair dripped onto his shoulder, making it feel a bit chilly. ¡°Zuo Zhen,¡± Lu Xiuhe called out to him, ¡°I want to ask you something.¡± Zuo Zhen leaned back, one leg hanging on the sofa as he leaned against Lu Xiuhe¡¯s jeans. ¡°En?¡± ¡°Why did you start to like me ah?¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s eyshes flickered. ¡°Why are you suddenly asking this?¡± Lu Xiuhe paused before replying, ¡°Just¡­ I think it¡¯s pretty unimaginable.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not unimaginable at all.¡± Zuo Zhenmented, ¡°So unsure of yourself?¡± Lu Xiuhe choked. No, no matter how fucking confident I am about myself, my pride is not inted to the point where I could covet you ah. Zuo Zhenughed and suddenly asked, ¡°Do you remember when we added each other as friends in the game?¡± Lu Xiuhe really didn¡¯t remember. He only remembered that when they had met, it had been Zuo Zhen who had sent him an invite for a game match first. At that time, hepletely couldn¡¯t recall as to when exactly he had added this friend. He thought about it and then asked, ¡°Mid year?¡± ¡°No.¡± Zuo Zhen said, ¡°It was three years ago.¡± Lu Xiuhe was stunned. ¡°Three years ago, I had just debuted, and a lot of people were cursing me out.¡± Even when speaking of such a past, Zuo Zhen¡¯s tone was very calm. ¡°At that time, whenever I thought I couldn¡¯t continue on, I would y games to dpress. However, while ying, I actually ran into a fan of mine, their ID had my name in it.¡± It was at this point that Lu Xiuhe finally recalled a slight impression of this incident. He had yed so many matches that he didn¡¯t remember many such things. That match had left an impression on him because there had been two invincible big mers in that game. He had been fighting in Summoner¡¯s Rift for so many years and had rarely met someone who could curse someone out so much and then even get stuck in the same team as them. At that time, these two mers had united in cursing out the support in their team. This was for no other reason than the fact that the support was a fan of a male star, and had the name of the male star in their ID. At that time, upon listening to the speech, it didn¡¯t seem as if the male star had done anything despicable.The two mers just caught on to something and said that he was a sissy and was ugly. They ranted for ten whole minutes, and cursed out the support until that person just stood in their spot without moving, as if they were crying. Lu Xiuhe naturally couldn¡¯t stand these people who possessed bad characters and had no sense of game spirit. He immediately fought with those two for a whole 30 minutes. After the game, the support didn¡¯t add him as a friend. Instead, it was the continually silent, not-saying-a-word jungler on their team who had added him as a friend. He didn¡¯t remember the name of that male star, but now it seemed like¡­ ¡°You were the jungler¡ª¡± Lu Xiuhe froze before continuing, ¡°¡­dare I say you¡¯re here to repay a debt of gratitude?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not about repaying a debt of gratitude, I wouldn¡¯t go that far just out of gratitude.¡± Zuo Zhen drew closer to him and said, ¡°Back then, I just wanted to see what kind of fool would offer himself up to be cursed at for no reason at all.¡± Lu Xiuhe paused before asking, ¡°And then?¡± Zuo Zhen chuckled and leaned over to kiss his neck. ¡°Then I discovered that I like this kind of fool very much.¡± He had thought at that time¡ªSuch a good fool, he couldn¡¯t let this person cheapen himself over others. First, use whatever methods possible to trick him into bing his, and then they¡¯d figure the rest out. ¡°Back then, you were just standing there and obediently letting people curse you out, weren¡¯t you being a fool too?¡± Lu Xiuhe murmured to himself. He touched his nose. ¡°Th-then let¡¯s just say it¡¯s two foolsing together bei.¡± ¡ª The author has something to say: Extras, also known as ¡°The story of a fool and a liar.¡± ¡ª Juurensha: ¡­well, although ZZ is kind of shady, I have to say it was pretty sweet, the two of them finally getting together.

Chapter 116 - Extra CP (Zuo Zhen x Lu Xiuhe)-Ahhh, my husband is so handsome! I am willing! awsl! Edited by Noks After finals were over, it was time to prepare for the winter vacation. ¡°Let¡¯s pick a time and go out for a hot pot meal together ba. How about the third day after New Year¡¯s, is everyone free then?¡± Lao Da asked as he was packing up. ¡°You should ask He Zi, he¡¯s probably the only one who¡¯s free in the whole dormitory.¡± Lao San picked up his luggage and said, ¡°My girlfriend ising to my hometown on the third day after New Year¡¯s. Your guys¡¯ wives should also be pestering you guys for dates ba? He¡¯s the only one who¡¯s single.¡± Lao San patted him on the shoulder. ¡°Keep fighting ah, magician.¡± ¡°Magician my ass, I¡¯m definitely not free.¡± Lu Xiuhe put on his backpack. ¡°You¡¯re not free? Are you going to pay New Year¡¯s visits?¡± ¡°No,¡± the corners of Lu Xiuhe¡¯s mouth sprang upward as he announced, ¡°I¡¯m going to go see my partner on the second day after New Year¡¯s.¡± As soon as these words were uttered, the dorm went quiet for a moment. After that, there was no one who was in a hurry to toss their luggage around any longer, and instead, they all gathered around Lu Xiuhe. ¡°Wtf, your partner? When did you get a partner?¡± ¡°You¡¯re not single anymore? I see, it must be that girl who gave you the scarfst time¡ª¡± ¡°Wait, how do you know someone gave me a scarf?¡± Lu Xiuhe was dumbfounded. The girl who had given him a scarf thatst time hadter confessed to him again. He had politely refused and returned the scarf. Afraid that that girl would be gossipped about, he hadn¡¯t said anything about it to anyone. Lao Da let out a ¡°hehe¡± and said, ¡°What secrets are there with the girls over there ah, my girlfriend told me like 800 years ago.¡± ¡°Yo, and knitting a scarf for you? When do you ever need a scarf in Manyang ah?¡± Lao San said, ¡°Still, it does count as a thoughtful gift, but He Zi, why didn¡¯t you agree?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that I didn¡¯t agree, it was that that girl looked at my exam results and regretted it, so she asked me to send the scarf back that night itself.¡± Lu Xiuhe made up some excuse casually. ¡°Come on ba. Okay, we won¡¯t talk about that anymore, but who is your partner?¡± ¡°They¡¯re¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe raised his eyes. ¡°What do you care about who my partner is?¡± Lao Da stared at him. ¡°Can¡¯t even ask?¡± ¡°No, you guys can¡¯t.¡± Lu Xiuhe waved his hand as he said, ¡°My partner is so good that I can¡¯t tell other people about them. I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll ridiculously covet them.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± ¡°Bad conduct.¡± Everyone else had been energized by anger at this statement. ¡°Might as well not talk.¡± Lao San said cheerfully, ¡°It¡¯s a big happy event ah, in order to celebrate He Zi finally having a sex life, we should, no matter what, partake in some barbeque tonight ba?¡± Lu Xiuhe paused in his motions. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Barbecue ah, not throwing you into another pit, just the one at the intersection in front of the school, it¡¯s cheap.¡± Lao San said, ¡°It can¡¯t be that you¡¯re not even willing to spend that much ba?¡± Lu Xiuhe replied, ¡°¡­Willing! Of course I¡¯m willing!¡± After the end of the party, when he went home with his luggage, he felt that he had wasted a lot of money. No sex life and no money. He was very miserable. They had kissed for a long time in the hotel room previously. In those two days, he had pretty much stayed in the hotel room with Zuo Zhen and had¡­pared abs. En, andpared other things. Comparing sizes wasn¡¯t something that he hadn¡¯t done before, but he had never done it¡­ in such a fashion that burned with ardor. But they didn¡¯t go all the way. Zuo Zhen didn¡¯t bring it up, so he couldn¡¯t keep going either. Back home, after listening to his parents¡¯ nagging, Lu Xiuhe went and buried himself in his room. Like a thief, he locked the door, and even turned off the lights before putting hisptop at the head of the bed, and drawing his bedding all the way over his head. Then he entered, word by word, into Baidu search¡ª¡ª ¡°How do men doi with men¡± All the search results turned out to be a bunch of useless things, and only then did he realize that Baidu mighty not know the meaning of doi, so he changed that word, and Baidued it again. For a moment, after reading the exnation on the screen, his heart was filled with sincere exmations, and even his emotions experienced an upheaval with those words. What the fuck. What the fuck?? ¡­¡­ what the fuck!!! Zuo Zhen, who had been practicing dancing for the entire day, finally took advantage of the break time to sit in a corner of the dance practice room and call his boyfriend. His boyfriend took a long time to pick up the call. He was in a dark environment, and Zuo Zhen couldn¡¯t see anything except a face. Just as he was about to say something, the person on the camera suddenly drew up close to the screen. ¡°Baby,¡± Lu Xiuhe said in a breathy voice, ¡°Let me ask you a question¡­¡± Zuo Zhenughed andzily let out an ¡°en.¡± ¡°First of all, I¡¯ll just ask.¡± Lu Xiuhe coughed gently and said, ¡°Would you prefer being a bit tired, or in a bit of pain ah?¡± ¡°&#k2026;.¡± Lu Xiuhe added, ¡°Um, I¡¯m just asking casually.¡± Lu Xiuhe¡¯s face was so shy that it was obvious that he was talking about something serious. Zuo Zhen just had to think about it for a bit before he figured out what he was saying. ¡°I just like¡­¡± Having said those words, Zuo Zhen suddenly picked up the cellphone, put it close to his mouth, and in a hoarse voice, he copied the other person¡¯s breathy tone to state, ¡°Making you feel good.¡± ¡ª¡ª On the second day of the new year, Lu Xiuhe rushed out of the house with his luggage even as his parents cursed at him. It was impossible for him to go pay New Year¡¯s visits; how could New Year¡¯s visits be more important than meeting his partner? It had snowed heavily in Jincheng, and so the flight was dyed. Lu Xiuhe sat in his seat, chatting with Big Fan. [Big Fan: Howe when I checked your flight there, it still hasn¡¯t taken off ah?] [Yeah, it¡¯s snowing over there, and they keep stopping us from flying, so I¡¯m trapped on the ne.] [Big Fan: Then will you still be able to catch the airport meetup in time ah? Zhenzhen¡¯s flight is about to take off!] Lu Xiuhe was just about to reply when his cellphone interface suddenly changed, indicating that a video-call was iing. Seeing the caller ID, he hurriedly got up and ran into the bathroom. Zuo Zhen was wearing a mask, a pair of sunsses, and a knitted hat on his head. Judging from his background, he should still be in the VIP lounge at the airport. ¡°Where are you?¡± Zuo Zhen saw his white background and asked. Yes, Lu Xiuhe had not given Zuo Zhen any prior notice about himing to Jincheng at all. Last month, Zuo Zhen had officially announced his withdrawal from the group, a matter which had caused a great stir on the Inte. His trending status had reached a peak that had not been seen since the establishment of the group itself. In order to drain everyst drop of his value to the group before he left, thepany had made him travel all over the ce for a week already, and almost every day of that week, he had had to take some form or the other ofrge transportation. Lu Xiuhe himself wasn¡¯t the pestering sort and definitely wouldn¡¯t bother him at such a time. Zuo Zhen, on the other hand, had sent him pre-booked tickets several times before finally being persuaded by Lu Xiuhe to get a refund on those tickets. Lu Xiuhe did want to see him very much, but if he let this person travel back and forth after being tossed around in such a fashion by hispany, then Zuo Zhen would have to sleep on the ne en route. It was too much of a hassle, so even if he was distressed, he couldn¡¯t bear to make Zuo Zhen do this. So as soon as he had a holiday, he hurried in Zuo Zhen¡¯s direction without even stopping and bought tickets. He thought it would be best to see Zuo Zhen, but if he couldn¡¯t, then he would see him after Zuo Zhen finished his work. ¡°Eating out, and in the bathroom now.¡± Lu Xiuhe looked at the background around him on the screen. ¡°You haven¡¯t boarded the ne yet?¡± ¡°No. It¡¯s snowing heavily in Jincheng, and they can¡¯t take off,¡± said Zuo Zhen. Lu Xiuhe¡¯s heart rxed. It seemed that he could still make it to the airport meetup. He said, ¡°That¡¯s good¡­¡± At this time, two knocks sounded out suddenly on the bathroom door. A gentle female voice came from the outside as it said, ¡°Hello? We¡¯re about to¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe was startled and quickly interrupted her, ¡°I¡¯lle out immediately!¡± After sending the flight attendant away, Lu Xiuhe saw Zuo Zhen frown through his sunsses. Zuo Zhen was silent for a moment and then asked, ¡°Are you in the women¡¯s restroom?¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°No¡­. I have something to do, I¡¯ll exin it to youter. Baby, I¡¯m hanging up now ah.¡± Just as Zuo Zhen was about to say something in reply, the screen shed, and he realized that the other party had already hung up. ¡°Zhen Ge, who is it ah?¡± Xu Min saw him holding his cellphone and asked. Zuo Zhen replied, ¡°Your sister-inw.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Xu Min didn¡¯t expect him to dare to say that. He quickly lowered the volume and advised, ¡°Ge, you should keep your voice down. By the way, I¡¯ve had this question for you for a while.¡± ¡°Say it.¡± ¡°Are you quitting because of sister-inw ah?¡± Zuo Zhen frowned slightly and nced at him. ¡°No.¡± Xu Min let out an ¡°oh and said, ¡°I thought¡­ Because it¡¯s too much of a coincidence, you know, as soon as the two of you have gotten together, you¡¯re going to quit.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve gotten it out of order,¡± Zuo Zhen replied. ¡°Ah, what do you mean?¡± It¡¯s not because of him that I quit the group, but it¡¯s because I quit that I can now chase him,¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s tone was no different from usual as he said this. ¡°Why ah? Didn¡¯t you say you have liked him since a long time ago?¡± When the boarding announcement began to re through the lounge, Zuo Zhen stood up and put on his coat. ¡°To be an idol requires one to maintain the consciousness of an idol. The fans treat me as a boyfriend, so although I can¡¯t respond to them, at the very least, I can¡¯t ept their love and still be with another person at the same time.¡± Xu Min heard this and froze. ¡°Then with you stuck in such a manner, what if he got together with someone else during that time?¡± A dark light shed through Zuo Zhen¡¯s eyes, but he soon noticed its existence before catching and stowing it away. ¡°He wouldn¡¯t.¡± Zuo Zhen returned to his former appearance, and with a casual smile on his mouth, dered, ¡°He can only like me.¡± As soon as Lu Xiuhe arrived at the airport, he was surrounded by fans. Big Fan stood in front of him and introduced him to the others, ¡°This is the male fan who was noticed by Zhenzhen at the airportst time!¡± This immediately caused a stir among the fans. Everyone scrambled to shake Lu Xiuhe¡¯s hand. Thissted until the flight notification board indicated that Zuo Zhen¡¯s ne hadnded, and only then did Lu Xiuhe finally get free of the crowd. Big Fan took out her own light board. ¡°Lulu, do you want the light board? I¡¯ll give this to you, and you¡¯ll have to get me another signature.¡± ¡°No need anymore.¡± Lu Xiuhe pulled something out of his backpack, which was his own rough light board. ¡°I have one! I made it myself!¡± Big Fan looked at his light board with its crooked words and inability to light up. She nodded and said, ¡°¡­as long as you¡¯re happy.¡± Big Fan didn¡¯t expect such a mediocre light board to really actually attract Zhenzhen¡¯s attention. It was even to the point where, in that moment, she sensed the surprise that appeared on Zuo Zhen¡¯s face. Before Zuo Zhen could walk to Lu Xiuhe, Lu Xiuhe said in a loud voice, ¡°Zhenzhen has worked hard¡ª¡± ¡°¡­¡­not hard.¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s current expression wasplex, and he still carried a helpless smile on his face. He asked, ¡°Are you that fan fromst time?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°I¡¯m that fan who super likes you!¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Lu Xiuhe was smiling so much his eyes had turned into crescent moons. He said, ¡°Can Zhenzhen sign for me ah!¡± This move of his caught Zuo Zhenpletely off guard. He couldn¡¯t help butugh and reached to take his signature pen from his pocket, but it turned out that this pen had run out of ink. A familiar pen was then handed to him, the very one he had given at the airport meetupst time. ¡°Use mine ba, Zhenzhen,¡± Lu Xiuhe said. After everyone in Pz, in a formidable array, left the airport, Lu Xiuhe was immediately surrounded. ¡°Ahhhhh you¡¯re a lucky talismanba!! If I touch you twice, will Zhenzhen see me next time?!¡± ¡°What kind of constitution do you have?! Sell me the light board! Daddy!!¡± ¡°I just want that autograph pen ahhhhhhh¡ª¡± Lu Xiuhe giggled andughed while chatting with the fans, and quickly stored the light board and pen into his backpack in an orderly fashion. ¡°Not selling, not selling, as I said before, these are all my family treasures¡­¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the crisp jingle of his cellphone. Z: Come out, exit 21. Lu Xiuhe quickly said goodbye to the fans and went to exit 21 without stopping even once on the way. This was the exit locatedst in the airport, so the number of people here was much less than at the other exits, with not even taxi drivers waiting here. Lu Xiuhe went out of this exit and immediately saw the van parked there. As soon as he walked two steps forward, he saw the door of the van being suddenly pulled open. He opened his mouth and was about to greet Zuo Zhen when the person in question grabbed his arm and fiercely pulled him into the car. The door was immediately shut after him. Lu Xiuhe was happy. ¡°Are you kidnapping me here¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, Zuo Zhen bit his lip. ¡°I missed you so much.¡± Lu Xiuhe froze and quickly looked inside the car. There were only three people in the car¡ªHimself, Zuo Zhen, and a driver who looked to be Zuo Zhen¡¯s assistant. He quickly said, ¡°Bros don¡¯t need to be so emotional, I-I missed you too ah.¡± He kept winking at Zuo Zhen. ¡°If you call me bro again, I will be angry.¡± Zuo Zhen frowned, discontented. ¡°Someone¡¯s here!¡± Lu Xiuhe said. ¡°It¡¯s okay. He won¡¯t say anything.¡± The assistant seemed to sense something and quickly pulled up the shield between the front and back seats specially installed in their car. Lu Xiuhe let out a breath, while Zuo Zhen was still kissing him. One kiss followed another, and he was like a cat that continually kept pestering people. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t kiss anymore.¡± Lu Xiuhe said whileughing, ¡°You wait for me to put my bags away.¡± Zuo Zhen listened to him and sat aside. He was wearing no make-up today. There were some dark circles under his eyes, but he still looked a lot more energetic than he had in the video-call before. Lu Xiuhe casually put his bag on the ground and took out a red envelope from it. Zuo Zhen was startled, and before he could react, Lu Xiuhe handed over the red envelope to him while greeting, ¡°Happy new year ah, wife.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s eyshes quivered. ¡°What did you call me?¡± ¡°Wife ah,¡± Lu Xiuhe scratched his head and asked, ¡°Then what should I call you? Won¡¯t call you husband, it sounds too girly.¡± Zuo Zhen¡¯s throat bobbed. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you¡¯re happy.¡± He took the red envelope, which had a thick wad of money inside. One look and he knew that Lu Xiuhe had put all his savings for food, drink, housing and other things into it. ¡°What to do?¡± Zuo Zhen raised his eyes and said in a deep voice, ¡°I didn¡¯t prepare a red envelope for you.¡± Lu Xiuhe froze and hurried to say, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I don¡¯t care about that¡­¡± ¡°I care.¡± Zuo Zhen said, ¡°I¡¯ll have to repay you.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Alright ba, don¡¯t put in too much. If it¡¯s too much, I won¡¯t ept it.¡± Zuo Zhen said, ¡°Not giving a red envelope.¡± Lu Xiuhe was surprised. ¡°Ah? Then you¡­¡± He stopped mid-sentence. Zuo Zhen took his hand, put it to his lips, and kissed his finger. Lu Xiuhe thought Zuo Zhen was like a spider demon from the Cave of the Silken Webs, with the only difference being his gender. Zuo Zhen smiled and said, ¡°How can a red envelope be enough? I¡¯ll give you something better.¡± Zuo Zhen was a demon, but Lu Xiuhe wasn¡¯t Monk Xuanzeng. After they got to the hotel and did all the things they had done before, Lu Xiuheyfortably on his back on the bed. As soon as he wanted to take a break, he saw Zuo Zhen open the cab, take out a condom, and tear open the wrapper with his teeth. ¡­¡­ Seeing that Zuo Zhen didn¡¯t have any intentions of lying down, and that he was pulling his legs apart again, Lu Xiuhe thought that Zuo Zhen was afraid of pain. After doing it halfway, when he was in a bit of pain but also feeling good, he didn¡¯t forget to check in with his wife. ¡°Baby¡­. You-you still have a wound on your waist, are you okay ah?¡± He pulled Zuo Zhen¡¯s arm, turned over, and shyly sat on his leg. ¡°How about I give it a go?¡± Because it was his first time, or because it was such a wild position, Lu Xiuhe dilly-dallied for a long time, not moving. Zuo Zhen was rubbed by him until his head was on fire, and simply pressed him back down into their original position. He bowed his head and bit Lu Xiuhe¡¯s chin. ¡°Don¡¯t worry¡­ you¡¯ve taken enough care of the fucking.¡± ¡ª¡ª It was midnight by the time they finished. Zuo Zhen took a bath and was ready to go to sleep. As soon as he started to doze off, he found that the person he was embracing had suddenly moved. He quietly opened his eyes and saw that Lu Xiuhe had his cellphone in hand. He was tearing into people on Weibo. [Zuo Zhen¡¯s little sweetheart: It¡¯s not even in the picture. you [horse head]. Zhenzhen has no girlfriend, thank you ?? ! Making no moves to help reinforce your own boss, and only thinking every day about forming a CP and getting to the top¡ª That kind of material for traffic, I think your group of fans are also very interesting [bares teeth]. Here, attach the CP list you¡¯vee up with for XX, and we can match it with the BGM of ¡°Those years, the male stars we pasted ourselves to together¡±.] Zuo Zhen: ¡°¡­.¡± After sending this sentence, Lu Xiuhe switched back to QQ and saw that the fan support group had just posted the pictures from Zuo Zhen¡¯s airport meeting today. [Zuo Family Army_Your Great Lord Lu: Ahhh, my husband is so handsome!!] [Zuo Family Army_Your Great Lord Lu: I am willing!!!] [Zuo Family Army_Your Great Lord Lu: awsl!!!] Zuo Zhen: ¡°¡­.¡± Lu Xiuhe was chatting when suddenly, he felt the hands on his waist tighten. The man behind him asked, ¡°Little sweetheart, are you having a good chat?¡± Lu Xiuhe froze, and flusteredly put away the cellphone as he stuttered, ¡°Al-alright ba¡­ Not particrly good¡­ Don¡¯t peep ah¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯re picturing me in dirty situations and then not allowing me to look?¡± Zuo Zhen asked in his ear, ¡°You¡¯re willing? How willing are you? Show me?¡± [Support group member No.1: [Since Jiejie is willing, then Meimei is also willing.JPG]] [Group member No. 2: Lolololol, Lulu it¡¯s the middle of the night, don¡¯t be so flirty.] [Group member No. 3: Where¡¯s Lulu? That person replied to you again!! Come on! me them!!] [Group member No. 3: Lulu?

Chapter 117 - Extra: Earth-shaking touching socialist brotherhood Chapter 117 - Extra: Earth-shaking touching socialist brotherhood Edited by Noks Yu Yan was ying in the semi-finals when the registration notification for the 8th StarTV anchorpetition appeared. He heard the sound of the system prompt, but because of the tense situation of the battle in the ongoing match, he didn¡¯t have time to open it. However, his stream followers started boiling up about it first. [StarTV sent me a station-wide message! The anchorpetition has started!! This year, Xiao Yan is sure to overturn Good Show and win the Anchor of the Year award!!!] [Oh, I¡¯ve hoarded a whole year¡¯s worth of money! Son rush in ya!!!] [Boss 1 already hasn¡¯t done anything for several years now. Is he still noting this year QAQ] [Yeah, obviously, the rtionship between them is so good, and Boss 1 also gives Xiao Yan a gift every day, but every year when ites to the anchorpetition, he bes invisible¡­.] Yu Yan took some time to look at the barrage as he reloaded his gun. ¡°Don¡¯t hoard money for me, go use it to buy yourself two beautiful dresses.¡± Yu Yan killed an enemy not far away from him. He quicklyy down and applied a first aid kit on himself. He then said with augh, ¡°I may not take part in thepetition this year.¡± His simple words immediately caused a great disturbance. After all, the highlight of this year was to see if Yu Yan could drag Good Show down¡­. No, to be precise, for the past three years, this had been the main thing to watch for in the StarTV anchorpetition. In the past few years, with the poprity umted in his early years, Yu Yan yed steadily all the way and soon became a big god anchor who had gotten on the popr list just after starting to livestream. The first thing stream followers did upon opening the StarTV tform every day was to check whether the number one on ¡®today¡¯s popr list¡¯ was Good Show or yanxyan. This year, all of Yu Yan¡¯s fans had gathered their full strength and had spoken out in an overbearing way¡ªsaying that ¡°we must pull Good Show off of his high horse.¡± [Why ah?!] [This year¡¯s prize even includes an electronic product endorsement ah, Xiao Yan!! Wake up!] [You¡¯re in the prime of your life, and Good Show has already streamed for so many years without retiring. What are you retiring for?!] Yu Yan was amused, but because this matter wasn¡¯t settled, he didn¡¯t bother exining. He took a frag grenade out of his pocket and simply, and crisply, threw it at a spot with grass opposite him. With a violent explosion, the game end notification popped up¡ª [Big Fortune and Great Delight, you¡¯re eating chicken tonight!] Yu Yan said, ¡°Eleven kills and I ate chicken, stream mod¡­¡± As soon as he was about to ask the stream mod to begin the payout for the quiz game, he saw a lot of notices about people getting banned pop up on the screen. It was probably because of another quarrel happening in the barrage. His streaming time was nearing its end anyway, so there was no need for him to start the next match, and so Yu Yan started to leisurely scroll through the barrage. His fans and Good Show¡¯s fans had started quarreling again. He ced his hand on his forehead and said, ¡°Everyone stop quarreling and just watch the livestream. The anchorpetition is about to start, and the stream followers who like Good Show can continue to support Good Show, and those who like me¡­ You can vote for other anchors you like. It¡¯s already time to end the stream, so I¡¯ll go and rest. I¡¯ll see you guys tomorrow.¡± With that, he raised his hand to the camera and turned off the livestream. As soon as the livestream interface went ck, a message from Good Show popped up. Good Show: What¡¯s the situation, bro? You really aren¡¯t going to participate in the anchorpetition this year? It doesn¡¯t make sense ah. Good Show: Of course, I personally hope you don¡¯t take part in it. Duringst year¡¯spetition, I feel like I didn¡¯t get to sleep well, since I was just afraid that you would get the final prize. If that happens again this year, I¡¯ll probably lose all my hair. Yu Yan: ¡­.don¡¯t know yet. Just having sent this sentence, the door to theputer room was opened. Yi Chen was dressed in a gray suit, held a suitcase in his hand, and looked quite worn out from his journey. Upon seeing Yu Yan, he directly ced his suitcase to the side and strode over. ¡°Howe you¡¯re back already?¡± Yu Yan¡¯s eyes widened as he asked, ¡°The weather is bad, wasn¡¯t the ne grounded¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking though, Yi Chen bent down to kiss him. Yu Yan¡¯s hands were still on the keyboard, so just like that, he ended up pressing out a long string of F¡¯s. After kissing long enough, Yi Chen got up and rubbed Yu Yan¡¯s hair as he exined, ¡°I couldn¡¯t wait. I bought a ticket for the next province and then drove back.¡± Yu Yan could feel the coolness that had gathered on the coat of his suit. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me, I would have picked you up.¡± He touched it a few more times in distress. Yi Chenughed. ¡°Yes, forgot that my little boyfriend just got his driver¡¯s license.¡± He nced at the screen and happened to see the chat content on it. He raised his eyebrows and asked, ¡°Not participating in the anchorpetition? What, not satisfied with the prize they picked this time?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not it,¡± Yu Yan closed the chat box as he replied, ¡°Even if I took part in it, it¡¯s not necessary that I would be the one to win the prize.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°If you want, I¡¯ll host an anchorpetition just for you.¡± Yu Yanughed and shook his head vigorously. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I made reservations at a restaurant.¡± It was a French restaurant that had just opened, and Yi Chen was a bit surprised when they got there. Usually, if it was up to Yu Yan, then most of the time, they would end up going to some smaller restaurants with dishes that were more like home-cooked food. In recent years, he had tried many tastes that he had not sampled before, which could count as being an eye-opener in disguise. The waiter poured out the red wine, helped them pick out the dishes they wanted to order, and then left. ¡°Talk ba.¡± Yi Chen raised his ss, drew his eyebrows up, and asked, ¡°What do you want to tell me?¡± Yu Yan was stunned. ¡°¡­.How do you know?¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°It¡¯s written all over your face.¡± Yu Yan pursed his lips, raised his wine ss, clinked sses with Yi Chen, and then took a small sip to embolden himself. ¡°I want to go back to school,¡± he said. Yi Chen wasn¡¯t actually very surprised by this answer. Some time ago, he had found that Yu Yan¡¯s small corner in the study was full of foreignnguage dictionaries. He took a sip of the wine along with Yu Yan. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Just, I want to enrich my knowledge,¡± Yu Yan said. Yi Chen thought for a moment. ¡°Did my parents make you feel awkward?¡± Yu Yan had already met Father Yi and Mother Yi two years ago, and now, they would have a meal together every few months. Sometimes, when Yi Chen was busy with his work, Yu Yan became the only one to keep thempany and eat with them. He had been a little nervous at first, but after sharing many meals, he found that Father and Mother Yi were both very easygoing and very thoughtful and considerate towards him in all matters. Maybe this was the advantage that artists had. ¡°No, how could that be possible? They¡¯re always very nice to me.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I just¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°I just¡ªwant to get a bit closer to you.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s ears were red, and he clenched his ss tight as he tried to cover up his tension. Yi Chen was stunned. He didn¡¯t expect that the other party¡¯s reason for doing this would be himself. He snapped out of it and suddenly reached out and hooked his index finger within Yu Yan¡¯s fingers. ¡°Are we not close enough? How much closer do you want to be with me?¡± Yu Yan¡¯s heart immediately beat faster, but he wasn¡¯t worried about being seen as there were partitions between the seats in the dining room. So, he didn¡¯t pull his hand away. Their couple¡¯s rings dazzled very brightly against the light. Over the years, they had even changed their rings three or four times. ¡°¡­¡­ I didn¡¯t mean it that way.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Seeing that he was blushing, Yi Chenughed and stopped teasing him. He took back his hand and asked, ¡°Then will you suspend things with the livestream for a while? Wherever you want to go study, I¡¯ll help you arrange it.¡± Yu Yan was only 24 this year, so it wasn¡¯t strange for him to want to continue his studies now. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll suspend it for now. I¡¯ve made some money in the past few years, just enough for me to go to school.¡± Yu Yan continued, ¡°Auntie rmended a school to me, which is right next to Uncle¡¯s studio¡­¡± ¡°Wait a minute.¡± Yi Chen frowned and interrupted, ¡°His studio? Do you want to go abroad?¡± Yu Yan hurriedly said, ¡°No, I haven¡¯t decided yet¡­.I told Auntie that I had to discuss it with you before deciding.¡± Yi Chen¡¯s eyebrows furrowed and he pondered for a moment. Yu Yan said, ¡°If you don¡¯t agree, then I will¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t agree.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Yu Yan stopped, frowned, and nodded as he said, ¡°Then let¡¯s just forget it.¡± Yi Chen sighed and continued, ¡°You have no foundation right now. My parents have their own jobs, and they definitely won¡¯t be able to apany you every day. You don¡¯t know how to speak thenguage, and going over just like that will make me worry.¡± Yu Yan was stunned and looked up at him. ¡°First study in China for a year.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°One yearter, I¡¯ll arrange the rest for you.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s eyes widened in delight, and he said, ¡°Don¡¯t¡­ I can do it myself, there¡¯s no need to bother yourself. Once I go there, I will fly back to you as soon as I have time¡­ ¡± ¡°No need,¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°I¡¯lle find you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll have more free time than you.¡± Yi Chenughed. ¡°Can¡¯t say that for certain.¡± Yu Yan was startled. ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Thepany has already stabilized thoroughly in the recent years.¡± Yi Chen sliced the steak in front of him slowly, then pushed the piece he had just cut to Yu Yan. ¡°I¡¯ve already decided on some people, and after another year of observation, everything should be nearly done. When things have been arranged properly, I¡¯ll have a lot of time to spend with you.¡± He put down his knife and fork, raised his eyes, and said, ¡°But you need to really think it over; are you truly willing to give up gaming?¡± Yu Yan heard his words and shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m not willing; I¡¯m not nning on giving up gaming, I just won¡¯t be livestreaming for the time being.¡± ¡°It took so many years of hard work to get to your present level.¡± Yi Chen curled his lip as he asked, ¡°You really don¡¯t want to get an Anchor of the Year award before retiring?¡± ¡°How can this count as retirement ah?¡± Yu Yan alsoughed, revealing a small tiger tooth. ¡°Awards don¡¯t matter to me, what¡¯s important is the game itself ah. As for the stream followers¡­ Sometimes I can go online and say hello to them, and I think just that will be very good.¡± What¡¯s more, if he really had to state the regrets he had, then that would be not having had the opportunity to really stand on the stage of a big stadium, after having yed a good game. However, there were always shorings in life. Yu Yan felt that it was a bit of a pity, but he didn¡¯t have any remorse about it at all. Yi Chen heard him and nodded. ¡°It all depends on you.¡± After dinner, Yu Yan had just returned home when he was dragged out of the door by Lu Xiuhe. ¡°Xiao Yan, do you know how difficult this premiere ticket was to get?!¡± Lu Xiuhe said while guiding him inside the theatre, ¡°I spent a lot of effort to get two tickets. That miser had originally only intended to give me one.¡± Yu Yan asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you two together? He¡¯s not even willing to give you movie tickets?¡± ¡°Pei, pei, pei, what together? Ancestor, you have to be quiet. My baby is certain to be the film emperor this year, and we definitely can¡¯t cause him any trouble at this critical point.¡± Lu Xiuhe lowered his voice as he added, ¡°He¡¯s willing to give it to me¡­ It¡¯s just that I have to put in some effort.¡± Yu Yan still didn¡¯t understand and asked, ¡°What effort?¡± ¡°Effort with my waist.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± On their way inside, they continued to talk. Yu Yan told Lu Xiuhe that he was going to continue his studies and that he was about to go abroad in an extremely natural manner. ¡°What?¡± Lu Xiuhe was shocked and yelled, ¡°Going abroad? You¡¯re about to fucking get the Anchor of the Year award, what are you going abroad for?! Yi Chen is also fucking willing ah??¡± Yu Yan really wanted to take a big horn and blow it to drown out Lu Xiuhe¡¯s voice. If they all perished together, then that would be fine. ¡°My fault, my fault, not controlling my volume¡­ Aiya, no, why do you suddenly want to go study? What¡¯s good about studying? Look at those who studied well, at least 80% of them earn less than half of your monthly ie.¡± Lu Xiuhe advised with earnest words and good intentions, ¡°I¡¯m really trying to be good to you, Xiao Yan. You should consider it some more.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I¡¯m not doing it for money.¡± Lu Xiuhe asked, ¡°Then what for?¡± ¡°I want to enrich myself ba. Life is still very long, and I want to spend it a bit more brilliantly.¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°¡­ I also want to improve myself a bit.¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Who says you need improvement? I¡¯ll help you fuck them up.¡± ¡°No.¡± Yu Yan chuckled. ¡°There are still other reasons.¡± Lu Xiuhe immediately understood. ¡°Yi Chen? But I don¡¯t think Boss Yi is the kind of person who would be bothered with your educational background.¡± ¡°He¡¯s not.¡± Yu Yan said hastily, ¡°This matter was decided by me unterally.¡± ¡°I know, I know, you just want to have some moremon topics of conversation with him ma,¡± Lu Xiuhe winked at him and said, ¡°Xiao Yan, you¡¯re too good. Boss Yi truly must have paid in blood for you.¡± Yu Yan quipped back, ¡°Zuo Zhen is really the one who paid in blood.¡± ¡°Hush, hush, hush! We¡¯re already in the cinema, let¡¯s be quiet,¡± Lu Xiuhe said, then opened his backpack, took out two small and exquisite lightboards with Zuo Zhen¡¯s name on them, and stuffed one into Yu Yan¡¯s hands. ¡°This is for you.¡± ¡°¡­¡­ What is this?¡± ¡°A fan support board ah. In order to cover up and fool everyone, we have to pretend to be members of the fan support group this time,¡± Lu Xiuhe said, ¡°Be a bit more enthusiastic in a bit ah, Xiao Yan.¡± ¡°How enthusiastic?¡± ¡°Aiya, you just pretend¡­.just pretend that Yi Chen arrived, understand?¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± ¡ª¡ª Half a monthter, the stream discovered that their favorite anchor had a new ring on his hand. In recent years, Yu Yan had been wearing a ring all the year round, and it wasn¡¯t unusual for it to change once every few months. Originally, everyone just made fun of it a bit to bring up the topic, but this time, a sharp-eyed stream follower noticed some of the ring¡¯s unusual features. [Go to bed early: Um¡­ I don¡¯t know if I¡¯ve made a mistake, but why do I think that the ring Xiao Yan is wearing tonight looks like XX brand ah? Isn¡¯t this brand famous for only selling couple rings? ¡­.] This Weibo post quickly appeared on Yu Yan¡¯s public forum. [Holy crap, sister is awesome. I checked it out, and it¡¯s true!] [So whose hand is the other ring on??] [Ahhhhhhhh, I won¡¯t allow it!! My son can¡¯t date in this life!! Unless the person he¡¯s dating is Boss 1!!] Thestment was quickly deleted by a 1YanTang girl. In recent years, seeing that the rtionship between Boss 1 and Xiao Yan was growing more and more intimate, the girls who were happy to munch on fluff also began to worry¡ªYu Yan was the spokesperson for several electronic products. If a scandal broke out, he would have to bear a lot of fees in the form of breach of contracts. Unfortunately, homosexuality counted as a scandal in China. Therefore, the 1YanTang girls hade to an agreement early on. Within their own circle, they could enjoy themselves and prudently munch on fluff, but it could never leave the circle. Even when others openly stirred up a 1YanTang topic, they would block it. By the time Yi Chen started scrolling through Weibo, the post about Yu Yan¡¯s rumored girlfriend had already been forwarded for the Nth time. [It¡¯s this female anchor!! You guys look, aren¡¯t the rings identical?! This female anchor is also StarTV¡¯s, probably the two of them met at the big anchor conference, and they even have a photo together! [picture]] [It¡¯s impossible, sister. The female anchor¡¯s ring is from another brand. Look [picture]] Yi Chen opened the picture and looked at it. It was really a picture of Yu Yan and a female anchor. His little boyfriend was standing upright, but the girl beside him had tilted her head and was almost leaning on Yu Yan¡¯s shoulder, causing them to look a bit intimate. He squinted and then opened the homepage of the poster. He found that this person had made a simr post three days ago. [yanxyan is actually with an actress surnamed B?! You guys look at the ring that the actress disyed two days ago, she also admitted that it was from XX brand!] [No oh, I have an internal melon. That actress is with aedian, and it will be announced in two days. You can see that the man also has this ring [picture]] [ording to my friend, Xiao Yan¡¯s partner is his childhood sweetheart, and that childhood sweetheart just happened to be a friend of my friend. They say that they have known each other since they were seven years old, and they¡¯re about to get married.] [Friend of a friend, credibility 0.01%] Yi Chen couldn¡¯t help but look down at the person who was sleeping in his arms. He raised his hand and pinched this person¡¯s face. Yu Yan felt something, frowned, and rubbed against him. Yi Chen¡¯s tone was very light as heined, ¡°Alright ah, I haven¡¯t been online for a few days, and your scandal has even spread to the entertainment industry.¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± ¡°And a childhood sweetheart also appeared.¡± ¡°After going around in a whole circle, you went back to a female anchor again?¡± Yu Yan didn¡¯t hear what he said at all. He just opened his eyes in a daze and asked, ¡°Still not sleeping? I¡¯m so tired¡­¡± Yi Chen took a deep breath and raised his hand to rub his neck. ¡°Sleep. Good night.¡± The next day, the first thing that the stream followers who were interested in this gossip did after waking up was to scroll through yesterday¡¯s gossipping Weibo post that was suspected to have exposed yanxyan¡¯s girlfriend. They didn¡¯t expect that before they could read some more gossip, they would first end up scrolling to Yi Chen¡¯s new Weibo post. Yi Chen seldom posted on Weibo. However, this time, not only had he put up a post, he had also posted a picture. The photo seemed to have been taken casually, and it was of a level 3 helmet model from PUBG. Also, at the edge of the picture, where the five fingers were holding it up, was a silver ring that peeked out. Five minutes after the Weibo post was published, itsment area was quickly flooded. [Good morning ah, husband! The model is good-looking, send me one, thank you husband!] [Ahhhhhh, Boss 1¡¯s fingers are too beautiful ba. I want to lick them!] [Shut up upstairs!] Yi Chen¡¯s eyebrows twisted. Even with this manyments, there still wasn¡¯t anyone chatting about his new ring. A few hourster, theizens scrolled and found another Weibo post. [Yi Chen: What brand of ring looks good?] The obliviousizens left their suggestions below it. ¡ªWhile scenting some unusual smell, the 1YanTang girls immediately gathered together! A momentter, Yi Chen updated with the day¡¯s third Weibo post. [Yi Chen: Thank you for your advice. I bought [pictures]] This picture contained only a man¡¯s hands with distinct bony joints. He was also wearing the men¡¯s style couple ring made by a certain brand, and it was almost the same as the ring revealed by a certain anchor during his livestream. After making this Weibo post, Yi Chen was very satisfied. After his meeting was over, he even specifically took some time to read thements. [Rich people are just not the same, as soon as they say they want to buy it, they buy it.] [Wait a minute¡­ Why do I think this ring is so simr to yanxyan¡¯s?] Seeing this, Yi Chen¡¯s lips curled up with satisfaction, but in the end, when he scrolled down some more¡ª¡ª [Boss 1 identally got the same ring as Xiao Yan pfft.] [1YanTang girl passing by and hoping that people who can¡¯t read the atmosphere won¡¯t appear in thements area. Although the rtionship between Boss 1 and Xiao Yan is really good, they are not in that kind of rtionship. I hope everyone can secretly YY in your own heart and just enjoy yourself in your own circle. Don¡¯t talk nonsense in Boss Yi¡¯s Weibo ha~] [Yes, only a straight man would dare to be so brazen and reckless.] [It¡¯s really the same couple ring ¡ª The rtionship between Boss 1 and Xiao Yan is too too wonderful ba!! What kind of earth-shaking touching socialist brotherhood is this ah!!!] ¡°¡­¡­¡± What qualifications do you have to say that you are a 1YanTang girl? Yi Chen was so angry that he left several hickies on Yu Yan¡¯s fingers. ¡ª¡ª On the day Yu Yan went abroad, Yi Chen couldn¡¯t apany him because he still had work to hand over. ¡°You go first.¡± Sending him to the security checkpoint, Yi Chen said, ¡°I¡¯ll be there in a few days.¡± ¡°Okay, take your time. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Yu Yan kissed him on the cheek and said with augh, ¡°I¡¯ll be right there, I won¡¯t run.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not afraid of you running,¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°I just hate to part with you.¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°It¡¯s only a few days. It¡¯s perfect since I¡¯ll just get to go over there and tidy up the house so that you can live there directly once youe over.¡± ¡°Alright ba.¡± Yi Chen held the man in his arms and suddenly sighed. He said, ¡°Recently, I keep regretting¡­¡± ¡°Regretting what?¡± Yu Yan asked while letting him hug him. ¡°That I didn¡¯t meet you earlier.¡± Yi Chen paused. ¡°If I had met you earlier, I would have let you finish high school and university smoothly, and would have also filled in any of your missing life experiences for you.¡± Yu Yan was stunned and after a long moment, started tough. He raised his hand, hugged Yi Chen back, and said, ¡°But I¡¯m also living very well now ah.¡± As if remembering something, Yu Yan rubbed his neck a bit before continuing, ¡°¡­ And you already arrived very on-time in my life. When I started livestreaming, at the moment when I needed you most¡­.You showed up.¡± The announcement for boarding had already sounded out from the speaker. Yi Chen hugged him tightly and said, ¡°Board ba, and wait for me over there.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s tone was very light as he said, ¡°Yi Chen, I love you.¡± Yi Chen had heard this sentence many times, but every single time it was said aloud, it felt as if he couldn¡¯t hear enough of it. Only when Yu Yan had dragged his suitcase and turned to leave did Yi Chene back to himself. ¡°What did you just say?¡± ¡°I said¡­¡± Yu Yan said, ¡°I¡¯m going through the security checkpoint first.¡± The airport was surrounded by transparent ss, and the sunlight shone in to cover the boy in the white T-shirt in a warm glow. Yu Yan took two steps forward and suddenly looked back at him with a smile. ¡°When youe, I¡¯ll say it to you again.¡± Yi Chen stood there, as his inner feelings surged high. ¡°Good.¡± ¡ª¡ªThe End¡ª¡ª The author has something to say: This is really the end of this time. Thank you everyone for yourpany. ¡ª Juurensha: So it¡¯s the end!!!!! (Not really, there¡¯s still one more extras from the traditional published version! Although don¡¯t be fooled by the title guys, it¡¯s sadly not smut) Well, that was still very sweet, getting to see everyone 4 yearster and still happy. I¡¯m d Yanyan gets along so well with Yi Chen¡¯s parents! Although I¡¯m still wondering how Yu Minyang meeting Yi Chen went. And of course LXH, such a fanboy still (although we were ROBBED of not getting to see Yanyan¡¯s reaction to LXH and ZZ being together). Noks: Ahhhh¡­ what an ending!!! Also, that¡¯s a pretty good subject for a fanfiction: LXH spilling his rtionship with ZZ to yanyan¡­ and the subsequent couples date between these two couples¡­ Ohhh¡­ any volunteers?

Chapter 118 - Extra: Sexy boss is livestreaming Chapter 118 - Extra: Sexy boss is livestreaming Edited by Noks When Yu Yan had sent out his notice saying that he was going to stop livestreaming on a regr basis, many of his stream followers expressed that they couldn¡¯t ept it. Only after quarreling about this issue on Weibo for several days did Yu Yan relent and promise his fans that he would livestream to chat with them whenever he was free. In fact, he didn¡¯t really want to retire. He was just worried that his academic courses would be too heavy to take into ount the length of livestreaming time required by the tform. When he went abroad, he was able to broadcast his livestream once a week, and the viewers were satisfied with just this as well. Every time on that day, they would smash gifts at him until he attained a rank on the poprity lists. However, recently, he hadn¡¯t livestreamed in nearly a month already. It had gotten to the point that when Yu Yan agreed to his friend¡¯s mutual invitation and opened his Weibo to do something, he came across as many as 999+ private unread messages in his ount. [Why haven¡¯t you done a livestream in a month? Are you okay?] [5555 you talk ya, the public security in foreign countries is too bad, Mama is so worried QAQ] [Has your Weibo been hacked?] [Ahhhh you¡¯d better let us know that you¡¯re safe and sound ah!!] Several fans had been sending him private messages almost every day, with every word dripping with concern, and their messages made them seem like an old mother who was broken-hearted over her son¡¯s absence. The old mothers kept on asking again and again, until finally, one day, they saw a new post on yanxyan¡¯s Weibo. [yanxyan: I¡¯ll see you guys in the livestream room at 8:00 tonight.] Under that post was ament from a fan who asked: [Will you turn on the video camera?] Yu Yan was chewing bread at that time. He thought about it for a moment, and then answered casually: [En.] Thus, his fan group chatted noisily throughout the entirety of his dinnertime, and by 7:50, his livestream¡¯s poprity points had already been pushed to 20,000, and quite a few fans had started sending gifts as well. The livestream started on time at 8 p.m. It was just that the anchor didn¡¯t make a sound, only the mouse could be seen swimming slowly across the screen. [Yanyan turn on the video camera! Turn on the video camera! The video camera!] [Today, I want to order a movie called ] [Why aren¡¯t you talking? Is my cell phone broken?] The barrage screen was full of questions, and the fans were very warm and considerate. The anchor¡¯s mouse glided across the screen and finally reached the ¡°video settings¡± on the sidebar of the live broadcast tform. When the video was turned on, there appeared a cold-looking man on the screen, who was currently frowning and wearing a loose gray sweater while looking impatiently at theputer screen. Before everyone could react, the man opened up PUBG and logged into his ount. A character with the ID Yii11c appeared on the screen of the game. [?????] [Why is it you? What about Yanyan?! Where¡¯s my husband?!] [Has Boss 1e to inspect the house?] [Why are you at his house again? Why do I feel like you¡¯re at his house every three days a week? Is StarTV about to copse?] [1YanTang is open for business today too ahhhhh!!!] [Fuck, this mood, this look, lets me have the kind of feeling of being caught cking off at work by the boss.] Yi Chen didn¡¯t bother with the barrage and was about to enter the game directly when his cellphone suddenly vibrated gently. [Yanyan: You have to talk, or the administrators will report you¡­] ¡°He suddenly has a paper to submit soon, so I¡¯ll stream for a bit,¡± replied Yi Chen, then let out an ¡°en¡± as he blinked and continued, ¡°I just like toe to his house as a guest, nothing has copsed¡­.He¡¯s not your husband, don¡¯t wildly call him that¡ªeven if you send gifts, you¡¯re not allowed to call him that.¡± During normal times, whenever Yu Yan was livestreaming, everyone was very fond of Yi Chen¡¯s asional entrance into the view of the camera. But if it was just him livestreaming¡­. Watching yanxyan livestream was learning skills. Watching yanxyan and Boss 1 livestream together was eating fluff. Watch Boss 1 livestream was¡­watching sky-diving? [The boss of the livestream tform is helping the anchor livestream by appearing in person? StarTV¡¯s own son is bringing down the hammer!] [Melon seeds and coke are all ready. Please start your skydiving performance.] [I usually watch the anchor as he turns the rookie concentration camp into a bloodbath. Today, I changed my perspective to see the rookie being ughtered.] ¡°There is no son,¡± After Yi Chen finished saying that, he felt that he had said enough to satisfy the requirement of speaking, and headed straight into a solo match in the game. Because it was the first match of the day, he chose tond in a wild area with few people, wanting to practice for a bit and get a feel for the game in his hands. No more than half a minute afternding, he was shot with a pistol. After watching the rey of his death, he pursed his lips for a long time, then reported the yer who had killed him before starting the next match. In this one, as soon as he managed to extricate himself from his parachute, a yer who had managed to snatch a car chased him around a big tree for about 10 circles before he finally fell under its wheel. Yi Chen didn¡¯t even bother to watch the rey of his death, and directly reported the yer. In less than 10 minutes, the viewers had gotten to enjoy two perfect skydives. The viewers remained silent for a long time. [Wee, everyone, to the Desperate Survival in a Hopeless ce channel.] [How many people do you have to report in order to be so familiar with that function¡­] [Boss 1, how about we crowdfund to buy you a bot ba, giving you our courtesy and affection.] [If you run a bot, the stream will be suspended, so I¡¯m suggesting that yourpany should purchase the Blue Holepany directly.] [Watching other anchors is like watching a general fight on a battlefield, but watching you is like watching a student learn to type at school.] [¡°Take This and Buy a Bot ba¡± has sent out a little star] [¡°Buying a Plugin Is Also Okay¡± has sent out a little star] [¡°Take this and Find a Female Apanying yer¡± has sent out a little star] It may be that these words in the barrage triggered an automatic reminder being sent to the moderators, and so the moderators sent over a private message. Yi Chen was unprepared and opened it. [Moderator 081: To use the Apanying yer tform, please clic.k this link: pw¡­.] Yi Chen closed the message and just wanted to tell the viewers that there was no need to send gifts when the cellphone in front of him rang. [Yanyan: You can¡¯t go find a female apanying yer to y with¡­] Yi Chen¡¯s eyebrows lightly drew up, and heughed. [1: Have you ever went and gotten one?] [Yanyan: Yes, but I have only ever picked men. The tform is partnering with these people, and I have to promote it¡­] [1: ?] There seemed to be no difference between picking a man or a woman. [1: Is an apanying yer as fun to y with as when ying with me?] [Yanyan: !!!] [Yanyan: Of course not!] [Yanyan: I only went and found one once, and then I let him apany me for exactly an hour.] [Yanyan: If you don¡¯t believe me, you can watch the video. It¡¯s uploaded¡­] Of course Yi Chen wouldn¡¯t nitpick over these little matters with him, it was just that he found Yu Yan¡¯s appearance when exining desperately too cute, so he couldn¡¯t help but tease him a bit. He was just about to reply when the tform¡¯s inspection system suddenly popped up with a message¡ª [Reminder: PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU AFK FOR TOO LONG, THE LIVESTREAM WILL BE TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED!!!] These words were all in caps and red in color, very noticeable to anyone. Yi Chen¡¯s brow wrinkled for a moment, but before he could open his mouth, the pop-up disappeared. [Moderator 081: I¡¯m sorry, boss! I just went to the bathroom just now! I¡¯ll turn off all notifications and reminders in the stream immediately! You can afk as much as you like!!!] Having said that, the moderator also very conveniently then removed the reminder about using the apanying yer link. Yi Chen: ¡°¡­.¡± [Fuck, too real ba?] [Boss 1 was just staring at his phone andughing!!!] [Actually, Boss 1 oftenughs when he¡¯s on Yanyan¡¯s livestream. Even though he¡¯s not looking at the camera, I¡¯m still satisfied :)] [Laughing like this, is he chatting with his wife?] [Boss 1 doesn¡¯t have a wife ba?] Yi Chen replied with: ¡°Write your paper well, and give it to me to check once you¡¯re finished.¡± Then he put his cellphone aside and spoke to the viewers, ¡°En, came to check that I¡¯m at my post and not allowing me to go find a female apanying yer.¡± Silence reigned in the barrage. Then a countless number of question marks flew all across the stream. [???] [I just entered the 1YanTang pit, and now it¡¯s just¡­a BE???] [I can¡¯t ept this!! AHHHHH is this woman more fragrant than my Yanyan?!!] Yi Chen nced at the barrage and replied, ¡°Not more fragrant.¡± [?] [Old fan of 1YanTang passing by, just blindly guessing that Boss 1 was chatting with Yanyan.] [+1, every day nibbling on fluff and unable to escape the pit, used to it (liked)] In his dorm, Yu Yan was gently touching his hair with one hand as the base of his ears turned red while his eyes were fixed on his cellphone, which was leaning against hisptop. ying on his cellphone screen was his own livestream. On the screen, the corner of Yi Chen¡¯s mouth drew down and he said, ¡°Alright, I was chatting with him. Not talking anymore, ying the game, otherwise, I¡¯ll be warned by the livestream moderator again.¡± Yu Yan swallowed and couldn¡¯t help but grab two handfuls of hair. This¡­ how was he supposed to write his paper properly with this going on ah?! Yu Yan had originally wanted to duck out of today¡¯s livestream, but when he opened the livestream room, he found that there had been many fans waiting for him, and the barrage had also been very enthusiastic. So he had decided to dy the stream for two hours. He had just been about to make a post regarding that on Weibo, when he had been stopped by Yi Chen. ¡°Going to livestream in two hours, are you nning on sleeping tonight or not?¡± Having said that, Yi Chen took off his coat and sat down in front of theputer instead. Yu Yan gathered up his thoughts, endured his restless emotions that were telling him to turn off the livestream, opened up the documents that he had searched for a long time to use for his thesis, and then buried himself in typing. Fortunately, this paper was rtively simple, and the required word count wasn¡¯t high, so he finished writing it in an hour. As Yu Yan left the study and passed by the kitchen, he thought for a bit, then went in and made a cup of coffee. He walked into the living room with his coffee, just in time to see Yi Chen headshot the yer in the opposite house. Yi Chen¡¯s gaming skills had actually already improved by a lot, it was just that they hadn¡¯t yed together much recently. He took time to get a feel in his hands for it, so naturally he didn¡¯t y well in the first two matches. Yi Chen was immersed in sniping and was wearing headphones, so he couldn¡¯t hear anything else. Worried about affecting his maneuvers, he hadn¡¯t even turned on the barrage assistant, so he didn¡¯t even notice it when Yu Yan sat down next to him. ¡°The first floor has someone, I got the one on the second floor. Their teammate should be helping them up, and there¡¯s another one around,¡± Yi Chen said quietly. As soon as he said that, teammate No. 2 knocked down the enemy who was behind the wall and opened his mic to say, ¡°They¡¯re down. Boss 1¡¯s skills are inly alright ah.¡± Thinking that he had run into a stream follower, Yi Chen frowned and did not answer. No. 2 continued to talk, ¡°You guys don¡¯t talk nonsense ah. Didn¡¯t you see Boss 1¡¯s shot just now? Well then, Boss 1, after we finish this match, add me as a friend bei, and I¡¯ll carry you¡­ Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I¡¯m Qiuqiu, and I¡¯m also from StarTV.¡± Yi Chen replied, ¡°No need.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be like that ah.¡± Qiuqiuughed. ¡°I¡¯m very strong, stronger than Yan Xiao Yan. If you don¡¯t believe me, try me out.¡± Qiuqiu had originally walked the road of being an anchor who boasts, so he had no problems saying something like that. Yi Chen didn¡¯t pay any attention to him. When he was in a gun-fight with the opposite side, he identally got headshotted. He hurried to hide behind a stone and apply a first-aid kit. Qiuqiu ran to him and dropped a medical kit in front of him. ¡°Please use this, Boss 1,¡± Qiuqiuughed shamelessly and said, ¡°You consider it for a bit. I can carry things, encourage you, and get in gunfights. You can do anything you want with me.¡± Yi Chen didn¡¯t pick up the medical kit that was lying on the ground. Once he finished applying his first-aid kit, he suddenly opened a scope on No. 2¡¯s face. ¡°Don¡¯t talk. I¡¯m very good at killing teammates.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± The livestream had been ying on Yu Yan¡¯s cellphone this entire time, and with earphones in his ear, he had seen the whole situation from just now. In the barrage, which was floating above the livestream, wasn¡¯t a single serious sentence. [It¡¯s only right for good men to learn to refuse all temptations!!!] [Keep yourself as pure as jade, Boss 1!!] [Yanyan is sitting next to him and having fun!! You guys quicklye look!!!] [1: I¡¯m not having fun¡­] [???!] [Boss 1 is using your ount for the livestream, and you¡¯re using his ount to reply with?] [I¡¯m full on eating fluff, thank you, thank you!] During this match, Yi Chen had managed to get a good feel for the game, and coupled with the fact that his team-mates were really strong, his team easily managed to win and eat chicken. After having gotten into the feel of the game, Yi Chen felt that the tips of his fingers had be hot. He took off his earphones and finally noticed that there was a person sitting beside him. Yu Yan smiled and was just about to say something when Yi Chen suddenly leaned into his face. He was too familiar with this posture¡ªwhenever Yi Chen managed to win a game and eat chicken in solo mode, he would always draw closer and give him a kiss. He was too scared to move, his mindpletely upied by the video camera that was on and broadcasting nearby. When their lips were about to touch, Yi Chen suddenly froze, apparentlying to the realization of what was going on. They looked at each other for a few seconds. Yi Chen paused, and then said, ¡°I¡­want to drink some coffee.¡± Yu Yan let out an ¡°oh¡± then quickly raised his cup and let him take him a sip. [?] [Don¡¯t you have hands? (I have a lot of ounts, so see if you can ban me!] [I¡¯ll cross the screen just to dunk Boss 1¡¯s head down!!! Go ahead and kiss for Laozi!!!] When Yi Chen was done drinking the coffee, he lightly used his fingers to turn the game off. ¡°Youe livestream ba. They¡¯re tired of watching me.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Yi Chen stood up and had just taken half a step away from theputer when his sleeve was suddenly pulled by the person next to him. He instinctively turned around and saw Yu Yan raise his head and very lightly touch his lips. ¡°Troubled you,¡± Yu Yan said. Yi Chen raised his eyebrow and stretched out his leg to block Yu Yan¡¯s way as he prepared to shift into the chair. After waiting for a long time, all that the viewers could see were two figures standing close to each other in the camera. Then a big hand appeared in front of the screen, and with a ck sound, turned off the microphone. Countless question marks floated in the livestream, and only after a full three minutes did Yu Yan reappear in the lens of the camera. He curled his lips tightly, his face waspletely red, but then forced himself to put on a calm appearance before logging into his own Steam ount. ¡°Sorry, I camete¡­Not blushing, it¡¯s just hot.¡± ¡°We were discussing some very important matters just now, that¡¯s why we turned off the mic.¡± ¡°My mouth isn¡¯t red.¡± Week after week, the stream followers¡¯ eyes were growing sharper, and Yu Yan felt as if he was about to be suffocated. He remained silent for a long time before squeezing out the words, ¡°I just drank a sip of coffee.¡± [Wasn¡¯t the coffee Boss 1¡¯s?] Yu Yan: ¡°¡­.¡± And at this moment, Yi Chen appeared in the view of the camera from behind him, holding a cup of coffee. He leaned against the door and asked, ¡°Which folder did you put that essay in?¡± Yu Yan replied, ¡°It¡¯s on theputer table.¡± Yi Chen let out an ¡°en¡± and then said, ¡°It¡¯s also a lot of work to check your essays for you.¡± Yu Yan: ¡°¡­.¡± Yi Chen said, ¡°Going to collect a fee.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s mouse shook terribly, and he replied, ¡°I know, I¡¯ll give it.¡± Yi Chen nodded, turned around, and got ready to leave the room. But just as he stepped across the door, he seemed to have thought something again as he said, ¡°Come to me after the livestream is done. I have something. More. Important. To. Talk. To you about.¡± [This manner of speaking, this tone, it¡¯s as terrible as my boss telling me to go to his office.] [Yanyan is so miserable, he not only has to entertain the boss, but also to bring water and arrange tea for the boss¡­what¡¯s the difference between this and having no weekends!!!] [A little curious, what important matters do the two of you have? Haven¡¯t you even stopped livestreaming recently?] Only when he heard the sound of the door closing from behind him did Yu Yan finally rx, raise his hand to cover his whole face, and then feel the heat radiating from his face on his palm. From the beginning of this conversation to now, his heart had never stopped racing. With great effort, he finally eased up and calmed down, then opened up a match in the game, when suddenly, the cellphone in front of him rang. Yu Yan took the time to drop his eyes and read the WeChat message¡ª 1: When youe over here, put on the condom in the drawer. 1: We¡¯ve used up all the ones over here. Bang, bang, bang! Completely frozen now, Yu Yan stared at his cellphone for a long time, not realizing that all 30 of the bullets in his magazine were getting shot into the wall in front of him in the game. ¡ª Juurensha: Well that¡¯s it guys! I was hoping based on the title of this extra that it would be maybe some long distance snusnu between Yanyan and Yi Chen, but this was kind of cute too hahaha. All those viewers roasting Yi Chen¡­and it¡¯s nice to see that Yanyan seems to be doing well at school! So this was only in the traditional version, so I apologize if there¡¯s any mistakes made in this trantion. Well guys, it¡¯s been fun! This is the first whole novel I tranted myself, and special thanks to my very long-suffering editors, Divi of the extremely awesome footnotes, Noks who put up with all our craziness, and xiin who stepped in for a bit when Divi broke her arm! I really enjoyed this novel and sharing it with all of you, and I hope you guys all enjoyed it too! If you would like to check out my other trantion projects, there¡¯s one on CG also about streamers and a PUBG style game called You Use a Gun, I Use a Bow, and if you¡¯re feeling more like something like the LXH/ZZ extras, I¡¯m also tranting an entertainment novel with enemies-to-lovers and fake dating idols called Fanservice Paradox, which is on a different site. Check them both out! And here¡¯s a link again to my smut fic for Yanyan and Boss Yi now that there are no more spoilers! Noks: Wahhh!!!! It¡¯s done! I really enjoyed working on this novel, and following Yanyan x Boss Yi¡¯s rtionship! I¡¯m so d I volunteered for editing this novel on that random day Juurensha posted that message on discord! It made those Covid-19 lockdown days so much more bearable. I¡¯m sad to say goodbye to these guys, but there are more couples to read about in the future! I¡¯ll be seeing you guys in BOW and FP as well, so don¡¯t miss them if you like novels like this one! Please check out and support the raws if you can! And you guys can buy the published version here! Shipping was both cheap and fast! And there¡¯s an audio drama for PUBG that came out! It¡¯s more condensed than the novel, but it¡¯s fun! And check out our fanart/fanfic page! It has alsoe to my attention that apparently there is a ReadNovelFull link reposting part of my trantion without my permission. I have reported them, and left a review telling them so, but if you would please also help me report them here. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
