FOG [e-sports]

Chapter 103:

Before the start of their vacation, Shi Luo actually didn’t quite understand why Yu Sui wasn’t willing to go to Hangzhou with their teammates.

Although it was a “little honeymoon” for the couple and it was inconvenient to travel with others, the hotel booked by the team had very good sound insulation. It had been pretty difficult to get this time off, the other people in the club would be busy with their own things. Who would care if they slept together at night or not? Even if the two were together every night during the three-day vacation, others might not even notice. Having not gone to the hotel, the base, these few days with only the two of them, was peaceful. But eating meals wasn’t convenient and the bed wasn’t as big as the hotel’s. Comforts-wise, the difference certainly was quite big.

But after a day and night since the start of their vacation, Shi Luo, who was lying on Yu Sui’s bed and couldn’t quite open his eyes, thought reluctantly that it was a good thing that they hadn’t gone to Hangzhou.

When he had first gotten together with Yu Sui, Shi Luo once felt that he had too much ‘love thoughts’ in his brain. He thought himself too sappy, too clingy and fussy.

In contrast, Yu Sui was more restrained. When Shi Luo said not go public, Ok, then they wouldn’t go public. When Shi Luo said they wouldn’t sleep in the same room, they slept in separate rooms at first. Shi Luo got the final say in everything. Even if occasionally the two of them would do something that would cross the line a bit, Yu Sui would generally unilaterally take care of Shi Luo. Every time Shi Luo would talk to Yu Sui afterwards, saying that he wants to help him too but Yu Sui would just smile most of the time and say that it was already too late and that if he bothers to do so he wouldn’t be able to train tomorrow. Then, he would go to the shower by himself, unwilling to entangle with Shi Luo for too long so as not to delay precious sleep time during the competition season.

How everyone was after falling in love was different. Shi Luo once thought that Yu Sui might be the ‘thin streams flow forever‘ type. He also thought that Yu Sui might have suffered due to his stomach bleeding and his health wasn’t as good as before. He was also older than him by two years and was unlike himself who was like a firecracker that would ignite with the slightest provocation.

It wasn’t until halfway through their short vacation...that Shi Luo’s previous thoughts were all shattered and he gradually acknowledged reality.

Yu Sui didn’t care about going public or not, simply because he really didn’t care what others thought. Two years ago, he was condemned in speech and in writing by the entire online community and he survived. He didn’t care about what others said about him. Since his boyfriend minds though, then they’ll do it according his boyfriend’s mood.

And every time Yu Sui tenderly looks after Shi Luo, he would refuse Shi Luo’s “tit-for-tat” not because he hadn’t felt anything but because he simply turned his nose up at this sort of ineffectual small-scale measure.

Going back to the original question, Shi Luo once again felt that it was a good thing they hadn’t gone to Hangzhou.

If the two of them were together every night, the others in the team might not find anything out but the problem was... the two of them weren’t just together every night.

Slag man Yu’s understanding of certain things was different from Shi Luo’s.

It didn’t necessarily have to be at night.

It didn’t necessarily have to be on the bed.

Inside the Free base, early in the morning, in the dormitory marked with “Whisper”, on the thick wool carpet in front of the closet, Shi Luo was so sleepy that he could barely open his eyes. He pulled the quilt that had fallen on the ground to cover himself. His voice was hoarse, “Captain ...I’m really doing to go crippled...”

Yu Sui sat on the carpet, leaning against the closet. He easily picked up Shi Luo with one hand and hugged him from behind. He picked up a small square plastic pack.

Shi Luo’s back trembled as soon as he heard the plastic crinkle. He then heard Yu Sui chuckle from behind, whispering in a low voice, “Looks good, it doesn’t seem crippled&#k2026;”

Shi Luo was dazed for a moment and he then suddenly understood what Yu Sui meant and his ears suddenly flushed red.

“What’s more, Shi Shen, aren’t you already feeling it?” Yu Sui embraced Shi Luo with one arm and held the small package in his other hand. He lowered his head and bit the little plastic and tore it open with practiced ease. His tone was unexpectedly gentle, “Captain will help you...”

Shi Luo closed his eyes, He wanted to refute but couldn’t speak...

What are you doing pretending to be a good guy, pretending to be innocent, pretending to be all calm and when you’re obviously the one touching me here and there, teasing me so early in the morning!!!

...

...

Afterwards, Shi Luo originally wanted to take a bath by himself but a pit was dug in front of him. Yu Sui half-forced Shi Luo into the bathroom, using “captain will help you check if you really have gone crippled” excuse and then for nearly two hours after, Shi Luo didn’t get out of the bathroom.

...

The base auntie was also on vacation and so there was no one to cook. But Yu Sui didn’t let Shi Luo go hungry. Three meals a day were delivered on time by their usual private restaurant. At the appointed time, he would go downstairs to get their meals. Yu Sui had arranged for Shi Luo a work, eat and rest schedule that was more regular and healthier than their usual. Shi Luo looked Yu Sui up and down while eating their meal...

Yu Sui had his head slightly bowed while eating. A couple of strands of hair fell down, contrasting against his cheeks, making them look a bit slimmer and deeper. He was wearing a loose long-sleeved sweater. Yu Sui pulled the cuffs a higher, revealing perfectly contoured albeit somewhat skinny wrists. Going lower, he was wearing sweatpants that to Shi Luo were indistinguishable from tens of thousands of sweatpants like it and on his feet were a pair of sneakers whose backs Yu Sui had stepped on the first day he had bought them, forcibly wearing them as slippers.

From head to toe, he was simple and clean. While eating quietly, anyone would comment that he was an innocent and simple college student.

Shi Luo swallowed a bite of rice and mumbled, “Deceptive slag man...”

“Huh?” Yu Sui raised his eyes and took a sip of his mineral water. “What did you just say?”

“Nothing.” Shi Luo took another bite of his meal and after a while, said abruptly, “Before, everyone used to joke that you were like some kind of hooker, they really didn’t do you wrong.”

Yu Sui: “...”

Shi Luo was embarrassed to look at Yu Sui. He lowered his head and said vaguely, “I underestimated you. Your physical strength is...you have amazing endurance.”

Yu Sui smiled and didn’t refute. He scooped some vegetables for Shi Luo. “Eat up. Later, don’t cry and say that you’re hungry. You’re going to make it seem like I don’t feed you enough.”

Shi Luo was speechless. He ate dejectedly but still couldn’t help but say, “Can I contact Zhou Huo?”

Yu Sui raised his eyes, “What are you looking for him for?”

“To let me go to Hangzhou!” Shi Luo wanted to hurl his chopsticks. What could he do? There was no one else at the base. No one can save him. If he provokes Yu Sui, he could only suffer the punishment himself. Shi Luo had to reluctantly concede, “I... can I sleep for a while? A nap? Don’t make trouble for me...”

“You can’t go to Hangzhou anymore. Everyone in the club knows that it wasn’t convenient for you to go out after drinking too much at the celebration party. What’s more...” Yu Sui turned his head to look at Shi Luo, and said vaguely, “Shi Shen, if you don’t respond, I would never force you... I’m not some hooligan.”

Shi Luo’s chest hurt. Slag man Yu... With just a few indecent words, he could so easily tease him. He was already down and outright shameless and has started to do whatever he wanted.

However, despite what Yu Sui said, at noon, he still let Shi Luo eat his fill and then have his nap.

Yu Sui doesn’t know if he was just being overly caring and concerned, but since living together, Yu Sui had felt that the quality of Shi Luo’s sleep was getting better and better.

Shi Luo used to have a problem of waking up suddenly from a dream. It wasn’t anything serious. The reason wasn’t clear either. It may have been from tiredness or it may be because he was too vigilant. It ma also be a problem that has been left unsettled since childhood. Shi Luo would wake up at least once every night.

But now Shi Luo rarely wakes up mid-sleep.

At most, he would suddenly move in his sleep. Yu Sui was a light sleeper. When he notices it, he would rub Shi Luo’s back. In the course of time, it became a habit. Shi Luo gradually preferred sleeping next to Yu Sui. As long as he was close to Yu Sui, he could sleep well and rarely dreams.

Throughout the afternoon, Yu Sui leaned against the headboard and Shi Luo slept soundly, using Yu Sui’s lap as a pillow.

From time to time, Yu Sui would rub Shi Luo’s short hair and soothingly squeezed Shi Luo’s ears. Finally, he had some time to turn on his phone and check WeChat.

[Manager·Zhou]: [Yu Sui...have you cut off all contact? So many people are looking for you, please reply back! What are you doing? I can’t bear it anymore. You dropped a bunch of bombs and went missing and silent. Others are looking for me to ask where you are! ]

[Manager·Zhou]: [The bosses of the other teams have come looking for me to gossip about you! IAC’s Zhao Feng and I had some conflict before but even he has added me to gossip about you! ]

[Manager·Zhou]: [People in the industry aside, your fans are about to explode, you know? ]

[Manager·Zhou]: [Puppy has been broadcasting non-stop all day and the whole team has appeared one after another. Only you and Shi Luo haven’t made an appearance. The fans aren’t stupid, they all know that you two didn’t come to Hangzhou. ]

[Manager·Zhou]: [You suddenly publicly announce that you’re dating and the fans are going crazy wanting to know who is this beauty that brings calamity to the nation. ]

Zhou Huo also sent a huge number of other messages but Yu Sui was too lazy to look through them carefully. He hurriedly sent over a reply.

[Whisper]: [If anyone asks you, just tell them it’s my personal business and it is not convenient for you to disclose any details. ]

Zhou Huo quickly replied: [Have you finally switched your phone on? My God, two days and two nights. What have you been doing? ]

[Manager·Zhou]: [Is Evil...cough, that clingy? ]

Yu Sui looked at the message smiled. He couldn’t help but to take a screenshot. He can’t wait to show Shi Luo once he wakes up.

[Manager·Zhou]: [Cough, cough, cough, let not talk about this. The point is! The fans are going to blow up our official blog! I can’t hold it anymore! ]

Yu Sui moved a little, changing to a more comfortable position and typed.

[I didn’t steal or rob anyone. I’m also an adult. So what if I’m in a relationship? ]

Within two seconds of sending the message, Yu Sui’s phone vibrated once again. Zhou Huo had sent a series of messages.

[Manager·Zhou]: [Although you have a lot of girlfriend fans, they’re not going to go so far as to say that you can’t be in a relationship. That’s not the problem. ]

[Manager·Zhou]: [That interview of yours has blown up. Everyone has analyzed it, examining each and every word. ]

[Manager·Zhou]: [Our fans were afraid that you two were unhappy and upset, so they didn’t dare ship you two! But Shi Luo unexpectedly didn’t f*cking show up during the past two days either! Couple that with your special treatment of him, the fans are now daring to think about it, okay? ! At the thought of you two possibly being together, your fans will explode! ]

[Manager·Zhou]: [There are two prevailing theories and both sides are in a deadlock. One is that you have found yourself some seductress from outside the circle and the other is that you’ve lived for so long and have seen everything and now you’re together with Shi Luo.]

[Manager·Zhou]: [Fans want to know just who it is. ]

[Manager·Zhou]: [Although it’s strange to say it but...]

[Manager·Zhou]: [But in my opinion, it seems like your fans would want you to be with Shi Luo rather than you finding some seductress whose out to spend your money and suck your blood. ]

Yu Sui wanted to reply Zhou Huo, ‘what makes you think Shi Luo isn’t some seductress’?

Young master Shi, this arsonist with the heart of a young woman, was every bit a seductress save for the part about sucking his money, alright?

[Manager·Zhou]: [They would acknowledge you two being together. They would treat it as their husbands being together. ]

Yu Sui smiled. Their fans were truly quite adorable. After thinking for a moment, he replied: [I’ll deal with it. ]

Zhou Huo let out a long sigh of relief: [Just please make it quick. It might have been peaceful these past two days where you are but it’s been crazy online! ]

Yu Sui no longer paid any attention to Zhou Huo. He quit WeChat and opened Weibo, logging in to his official account. He then handled it in one bold move by following Shi Luo’s side account.

“This shouldn’t be considered as going public, right...?”

Yu Sui lowered his head and rubbed Shi Luo’s head. With a relaxed tone, he said, “Now, the pressure is on Shi Shen’s side...”
