Chapter 68 Livestream viewers: "………………"

HYG offered utmost sincerity in signing yux: a salary more than six times his original salary level, a contract that matched the player's preferences, and the only single room in the entire ROE division.

It is said that Milk originally lived here, but after the team told him that the new member had poor sleep quality, he readily moved out and moved in with Coach Mike.

The athletes' dormitories are on the floor above the training room, and the layout of the corridors and rooms is similar to that of a hotel.

You Xin's room is at the very end, and the door is half-closed.

Nan Zhiyi reached out and pushed open the door, peeked around for a bit, and then curiously went inside to touch and explore everything.

He was fairly satisfied with the room: "It feels better to stay here than in CG... huh?"

Turning around, I heard a "click" sound.

You Xin closed the door behind him and casually locked it as well.

“…?” Nan Zhiyi almost laughed. “What are you doing? Are you going to lock me up…”

"You lied."

You Xin blurted out this sentence out of the blue.

Nan Zhiyi blinked: "...?"

You Xin's expression looked a bit serious, but Nan Zhiyi was good at interpreting his expressions and could tell that he was deliberately keeping a straight face and joking with her: "In the game just now."

"'Never kissed a man'? You kissed me when you were eighteen."

His tone was slightly serious as he spoke, leaning closer to Nan Zhiyi.

Nan Zhiyi was forced to sit on the small sofa in the room by him, and was then pushed into a corner. You Xin grabbed one of his wrists with each hand and said half-jokingly, "I'm going to expose you."

The two hadn't seen each other for more than half a month, and during the training camp, they could only exchange messages whenever they had a spare moment.

Sometimes, even when You Xin is on vacation, Nan Zhiyi still has to participate in a full day of training. After the day ends, when she opens her phone, it's full of cat and dog wagging tail emojis sent by the other party.

He had no idea what trick the other party was trying to play on him, but he still smiled and said, "Hmm... so, what should I do?"

You Xin pretended to think for two seconds: "Bribe me?"

He spoke very close, his intentions obvious. Nan Zhiyi was trapped and unable to move, so she leaned in and kissed him on the cheek.

His original intention was to gloss over it, since it was his first day at the base and he was still in an unfamiliar environment, but You Xin still wouldn't give up and came close to him, grabbing his hand and kissing him.

Having been apart for so long, Nan Zhiyi felt a subconscious nervousness. He opened his mouth to speak, but instead gave the other person the opportunity to kiss him. You Xin's lips and tongue entwined with his; he was eager to push her away, yet powerless to stop her, and in the end, it seemed as if he was playing hard to get.

You Xin released one hand and placed it on his waist.

Nan Zhiyi's kissing skills have always been terrible, both immature and clumsy, and she hasn't improved at all over the years. However, he felt extremely pleased with her and couldn't help but want to push her into an even more helpless situation.

When they parted, Nan Zhiyi could barely breathe.

His body was stiff as wood, but his mind was in turmoil.

Whether it was because the other person's kiss was too intense, or because the unfamiliar environment amplified his emotions, he actually... had some inappropriate reactions at this moment.

"…………"

Nan Zhiyi instinctively tried to hide it, but this time even the slightest change in him could not escape the other party's eyes.

You Xin's gaze swept over him, a hint of amusement in her scrutiny, before she leisurely asked, "Do you need my help?"

"No...no need." Nan Zhiyi was so embarrassed she wanted to run away on the spot. "I...I can..."

But the other party clearly had no intention of giving him that opportunity.

You Xin smiled at him and let go of his hand.

Then she lowered her head, took off the ring from her hand, and placed it aside with a "clink" sound: "Don't worry, I won't make you feel bad."

Nan Zhiyi didn't have time to react. When he realized what had happened, he was completely stunned.

He bit his lip hard, trying to keep himself from making a sound, but You Xin insisted on talking to him casually and in a coquettish tone: "I texted you before, but you ignored me."

"Haven't you missed me at all these days?"

"You're shaking so badly... Do you like it when I touch you like this?"

Nan Zhiyi trembled, trying to get him to let her go, but all she could manage was a soft sob, which You Xin immediately silenced.

"I like you..." He heard You Xin say intermittently in his ear between kisses, "I like you, Xiao Yi. I like you very much."

"Every day we're apart, I really miss you."

-

Nan Zhiyi's final achievement was leaving a small string of teeth marks on You Xin's wrist.

Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and instinctively opened his mouth and took a bite when the other person's other hand came close.

He was now huddled in the corner of the sofa, burying his head in a huge cushion, with only the tips of his bright red ears showing.

A soft, dripping sound came from the bathroom. After a while, a dent appeared in the sofa next to him. You Xin finished washing his hands and sat back down beside him: "Are you staying at the base tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Zhiyi almost jumped up on the spot: "No, no, no need, I... I have to go home tonight..."

He felt that if he stayed any longer tonight, things might not just be a "small matter" like what had just happened.

You Xin finally saw him downstairs, and Nan Zhiyi fled in panic as he watched her go with a half-smile on his face.

The next morning, Nan Zhiyi returned to the base.

Today was his first day officially joining HYG as a member of the training team, and head coach Mike introduced him to the rest of the team.

The team's analysts showed him a lot of data about the team. He spent the whole day in front of the computer, trying to participate in the training group's review and discussion of the recent training matches.

Since the transition from streamer to training partner was somewhat sudden, HYG thoughtfully helped him bring the bird to the base to prevent it from falling into the same predicament as a left-behind child.

At the same time, You Xin's puppy was also taken back from He Zhou and placed in a special pet room.

Now, the bird and the dog, along with the two fluffy mascot cats that used to be at the base, spend their days playing around there, and staff members often play games with them. Their mental state seems even better than when they were at home.

In addition, HYG also specially prepared a workstation for him to use for live streaming, so that he could do so whenever he needed to.

After a full day of training, Nan Zhiyi still couldn't rest in the evening—although he had signed a contract with HYG, he still needed to fulfill his original live streaming contract with Stars.

In other words, he still has to broadcast for 45 hours every month.

The thought of live streaming gave Nan Zhiyi a huge headache. During the training camp last month, he streamed almost every spare moment, without turning on his camera or sound. He could only explain to his fans that he was out of town, but he was still caught up in rumors and linked to the previous "bromance incident," and was accused of being "too guilty to show his face."

He did a quick calculation and realized that half of the month had already passed, and the Summer Split was about to start at the end of the month. If he didn't plan ahead, his live streaming time for the month would probably be gone again.

Therefore, at 8 p.m. that evening, after the team members finished their practice match and started their own training, Nan Zhiyi also secretly started a live broadcast at the HYG base—this time she still kept her microphone and camera off.

As soon as the live stream started, the screen was flooded with comments:

Why is it a black screen again? QAQ

[Little Yi, sob sob, when will Mommy get to see you again?]

So, are you and Yux really just selling BL (Boys' Love) stuff? Is there really no explanation at all? Just give me a straight answer, I'm not reconciled, I don't believe my ship is fake...

Stop asking the streamer. I feel like their behavior has already said everything. Sigh, I'm heartbroken.

[Streamers, I'll accept it even if you're just selling bromance, but please show it to the kids too, they're crying the whole time, 5555]

Looking at the dense barrage of comments, Nan Zhiyi was at a loss for words.

The person who first suggested selling bromance was You Xin, and he was the one who carried out the entire thing for most of the time.

Ke Youxin has absolutely no intention of "interacting" with him online. From Weibo to Stars, everything is quiet, as if the person who used to mention him on Weibo every now and then and post his photos in the fan group was not him at all.

Instead, she started sending him hundreds of messages on WeChat every day when he wasn't around, and when he was around, she simply stayed by his side all day long.

For You Xin, these things seem to make him happier than the so-called interactions on the internet.

The most important thing right now is obviously to make up for lost time, so Nan Zhiyi had no choice but to bite the bullet and start the game.

The team was discussing the strength of the Ranger class in the new map today, so he switched his game position to main DPS, intending to play a couple of games himself to experience the actual situation firsthand, and also to earn some streaming time.

However, less than an hour into the game, just as they entered their third match, the door to the room was pushed open.

"Old Xu is looking for you," You Xin said to him from the doorway.

Nan Zhiyi was startled, then remembered that he hadn't turned on his sound at all—he was still terrified by the last live stream mishap—so he asked, "He's looking for me? Is he in a hurry?"

"A bit. It seems like we need to discuss the official announcement."

Nan Zhiyi immediately felt a headache coming on: "I just started a game, and I was streaming it..."

You Xin walked over and saw that his class was already locked in as [Ranger]: "You go ahead. I'll finish this game for you."

“…Okay.” Nan Zhiyi agreed, but given his past record, she couldn’t help but worry. “I didn’t turn on my mic or camera, so just don’t type or send messages.”

You Xin agreed.

Nan Zhiyi then felt relieved and gave up her seat, hurriedly leaving the room.

You Xin took over his live stream. He first pulled up the comment bar and looked at it for a while. The mouse hovered over a few comments for a short time, almost invisible to the naked eye. Then he minimized the comment bar and left it aside.

Meanwhile, the game map has finished loading.

Suddenly, all the viewers in the live stream noticed that the Ranger, who had been playing cautiously and seemed to lack skill, suddenly went berserk. At the start of the game, he jumped straight onto the floating stone slab, bumped into the opposing duo, and then pulled out his short sword. In the long-range map, he quickly and skillfully eliminated his opponents one by one.

Live stream viewers: "…………???"
