The DT team, victorious in securing the championship, was bustling around non-stop. They had already filmed promotional videos twice in collaboration with the organizers.
Lin Lan seemed to be the busiest person on the team. Anyone in the esports community wanted to interview him or have a meal with him.
Lin Lan was open to all invitations. As long as he felt comfortable with the person, he would go out for a meal and have a good chat.
During that period, almost all of the players’ social media feeds were filled with videos of them dining with Lin Lan. Today he was at one restaurant, tomorrow at another, leaving fans anxious.
One moment, fans were enthusiastically promoting the revolutionary friendship between Lin Lan and their favorite player, and the next moment, they saw him happily chatting at another team’s table. The contrast was huge.
Sometimes Lin Lan would even visit other teams’ training facilities, blending in seamlessly. One manager joked, “I dream of poaching Lin Lan.”
This terrified DT’s fans, who bombarded DT’s official account and Xiao Shengjing: “Can’t you control him?”
The DT official account just chuckled without giving a clear response. Xiao Shengjing rarely responded, saying, “Signed for three years, can’t escape.”
The fans below were criticizing him for being useless. Three years and you’re satisfied? Sign him for a lifetime!
In addition to these trivial matters, DT’s investors kept emerging like bamboo shoots after the rain.
During this period, almost all of DT’s players were endorsing GG products. Even Lin Lan, who never cooperated, couldn’t resist the temptation of the investors’ money and reluctantly filmed a very embarrassing GG commercial with Xiao Shengjing.
But unexpectedly, this embarrassing GG commercial became unexpectedly popular because both Lin Lan and Xiao Shengjing had very high levels of attractiveness. The chemistry between them was also very strong. Just a glance at each other was enough for fans to imagine a high-quality drama worth hundreds of thousands of words. Moreover, in this commercial, there were some very lifelike interactions, making their personalities appear very authentic, just like in real life.
Even their own fans began to wonder: Are they actually for real?
Some fans from outside the esports community thought it was a scene from a TV drama and began to analyze it frantically. But they were surprised to find out that it wasn’t from a drama at all; it was a GG commercial filmed by esports players.
They were shocked that such extraordinary attractiveness was being wasted on being esports players!
So fans from outside the community flooded into their live streams, fervently admiring their unfiltered faces while clamoring and asking when they would consider entering the entertainment industry.
In front of the camera, Lin Lan looked like a lazy white cat who hadn’t slept well.
He was dragged to shoot a promotional video yesterday and didn’t return until 4 a.m. Now he still hasn’t recovered. His eyes are half closed like a cat’s. “Do you make money from acting?”
Fans from outside the gaming community brainwash him like crazy: [You can make a lot of money!]
[With your looks, are you afraid of not making money?]
[Even your acting in the GG commercial outshines half of the young idols!]
[Really, really. I’ll support you, crowdfund for you, please make a movie with your partner…]
[When you and your partner stand together, I scream until I pass out (screaming groundhog) !]
[I envy the happiness of your CP.]
[I beg you to make a movie within our lifetime…]
This time, esports fans couldn’t stand it: [Acting? What about esports!]
[You should focus on esports! You should play esports for a lifetime!]
[Don’t be tempted by those bad girls outside. You’re such a cute little kitty; if you go act, you’ll be ‘petted to death’ QAQ…]
[Although I ship your CP very much, I can’t bear to send you to act.]
[Promise me, both you and your ‘senpai’ must stay in the esports circle!]
Lin Lan looked at the barrage of “your senpai” with a puzzled expression, “Who’s my ‘senpai’?”
The barrage screamed: [It’s your husband!!!]
[Your husband!]
[Your home’s husband!]
[Your team’s captain!!!]
[After all that, you still don’t know who your ‘senpai’ is QAQ.]
[Ah, my heart is breaking for you…]
“Senpai”, Lin Lan didn’t understand, but “husband”, he got it. Suddenly, he sat up straight: “Why is he my husband? What are you basing this on? Do you have any evidence?”
The barrage was shocked: [What? Did I ship them wrong?]
[Ah, could it be that Lin Lan is a ‘11top. 1 for top and 0 for bottom‘?]
[Would this kind of thing also stir up competitiveness QAQ.]
[How could this be QAQ?]
[Is there a possibility that this is a cunning ‘02bottom. 0 for bottom and 1 for top‘?]
[Oh, I see now…]
Lin Lan found himself increasingly unable to understand the barrage, and things were starting to veer into strange directions. Beside him, Xiao Shengjing couldn’t help but burst into laughter, making him feel a bit uneasy.
He quickly composed himself, “Alright, acting for GG is just my side job. Let’s not discuss it anymore. If you want to watch, watch my main job. Am I not handsome when I play games?”
The barrage was about to say: Your face is even more handsome!
But then they turned to see Lin Lan pulling off a flashy play, showing off his skills to take down three opponents in a row.
It came out as: Your face, face, face… Wow, that was amazing!
Clearly, they came for his face, but they ended up being impressed by his skills instead, even downloading a game they barely knew how to play. Sob sob sob…
So during that time, there were a bunch of new accounts that couldn’t even beat the AI, yet they persisted in dominating the Summoner’s Rift. The esports scene gained a bunch of gaming-addicted girls, while the entertainment industry lost a group of fans.
The break for the team didn’t last long. Lin Lan packed up and moved from Xiao Shengjing’s house to his dorm room. They still ate, slept, and played games together without any changes.
But one night, as Lin Lan was getting ready for bed, he suddenly realized something, “Why am I making you squeeze onto one bed? Don’t I have a comfortable bed of my own?”
Xiao Shengjing calmly adjusted his sleeves and told him, “Your room doesn’t have a gaming console.”
With that reasoning, Lin Lan laid down without any further concerns.
Yet he couldn’t shake the feeling that Xiao Shengjing was getting closer and closer to him. Recently, whenever he woke up, Xiao Shengjing would be holding him from behind. Surprisingly, he felt no discomfort.
Damn. Is habit such a scary thing?
Looking at his wet hair in the mirror, Lin Lan quickly splashed cold water on his face. But it didn’t calm him down.
He thought about all the strange terms he had been forcibly educated about recently and couldn’t help but ask the reflection of Xiao Shengjing in the mirror, “Who among us is the ‘lao gong3Old gong… Old top… In simple terms, top XD‘?”
Xiao Shengjing’s movement visibly paused for a moment. He seemed to be smiling, yet not. His cool voice sounded somewhat seductive in the steam-filled bathroom, “I don’t know. Want to find out?”
With just that sentence, Lin Lan felt a surge of adrenaline rush to his head. It was a strange sense of excitement, making even his throat involuntarily twitch.
He angrily ripped the towel off his shoulder and threw it at Xiao Shengjing’s face, “Try? Try your big head!”
A faint laughter echoed from the bathroom, this time for real, making Lin Lan’s bones feel a bit numb from the laughter.
Damn, why did Xiao Shengjing’s laughter feel like the hardest level in a game, making him unable to resist the urge to explore further?
After throwing the towel, Lin Lan’s hair was still damp.
He sat on the sofa, trying to cool down his anger with a game. Xiao Shengjing walked over slowly, then sat down beside him, leaning to the side. He used the towel in his hand to rub Lin Lan’s hair gently. His tall figure cast a shadow, and his cool voice began to penetrate into Lin Lan’s ears again, “The weather is getting colder. If you don’t dry your hair, you might catch a cold.”
Lin Lan had never been cared for like this before. He had been living on his own since he was young, enduring the cold and finding food when hungry. No one had ever heated milk for him every day, washed and folded his clothes, or patiently dried his hair every day while reminding him to take care of his health.
Even though they were initially distant when they first met, why did Lin Lan feel more and more of Xiao Shengjing’s warmth the longer they spent time together?
Lin Lan looked up at him. Xiao Shengjing’s features were sharp, with a strong jawline, completely different from his own type.
And Xiao Shengjing really did look tall. Not the kind of oppressive height that Xie Zilu brought, but rather a warm and comforting sense of security.
Xiao Shengjing lowered his gaze. Seeing Lin Lan looking at him, he leaned down and naturally gave him a kiss. “What are you looking at?”
Without waiting for Lin Lan’s answer, he gave him another kiss, this time a bit heavier than the last, his eyes also becoming deeper. “Do you know what your husband is doing?”
It took Lin Lan 2 seconds to react. He wanted to assert his rights, but then he was overwhelmed by the dense and overwhelming kisses, his whole body pressed down on the sofa.
Xiao Shengjing’s kissing technique visibly improved, each time giving him a feeling of drowning yet being revived. It felt as if he was on a small boat, constantly worried about falling into the water, but Xiao Shengjing would always hold him steadily, reassuring him that he would never capsize. It was a strange feeling of danger and comfort…
At night when it was time to sleep, Xiao Shengjing still didn’t want to let him go. If he wasn’t kissing his nose, he was kissing his eyes or his lips.
When Lin Lan was playing games, Xiao Shengjing would still hold him in his arms the whole time, not playing himself, just watching him and talking to him. This could go on for one or two hours.
Sometimes Lin Lan would also be curious, “Am I really that good-looking?”
Xiao Shengjing nodded earnestly, “You’re good-looking. Watching you play games is a pleasure. No matter how difficult the level, you always find a way.”
This statement delighted Lin Lan, and he became even more enthusiastic, playing with high spirits. That night, he was determined to complete all the levels for Xiao Shengjing.
But before he could finish the game, Xiao Shengjing fell asleep.
Xiao Shengjing leaned against his shoulder, his arm around his waist, sleeping deeply.
These days, with so much going on with the team, Xiao Shengjing was inevitably tired. But even so, he would still insist on accompanying Lin Lan to play his favorite game at night.
Lin Lan didn’t move, secretly wishing Xiao Shengjing could sleep a little longer.
He realized after playing for a while that it wasn’t as fun to clear the levels without Xiao Shengjing watching him play.
Turning off the game he hadn’t finished, Lin Lan turned his head to look at Xiao Shengjing’s sleeping face, his eyelashes casting shadows. His heart softened, and suddenly, he wanted to touch him.
Lin Lan was someone who acted on his impulses. He leaned down and kissed Xiao Shengjing on the lips, suddenly thinking that spending a lifetime like this would be quite blissful.
He reached out and touched Xiao Shengjing’s chin, like patting a big dog, “Ah Jing, let’s sleep.”
Xiao Shengjing sat up, a little drowsy, and asked him groggily, “Did I fall asleep?”
Then, out of habit, he lifted him up from the sofa, tucked him into bed, kissed his lips, turned off the lights, and climbed into bed to hold him, embracing him tightly. Soon, he fell asleep again.
In a flash of insight, Lin Lan suddenly realized something.
Damn, when he used to fall asleep on the sofa every day, did Xiao Shengjing also follow this routine and carry him to bed?!
No wonder he woke up in his arms every day!
