GTRSH Chapter 62

【No, are you serious?】

【I was just casually following their posts, who would have thought they’d actually start dating?】

【So, is this an official announcement?】

【I don’t believe it.】

【?】

【Why can’t it be that the baby is taking the blame for He Ci’s girlfriend?】

【…That seems to make sense.】

【Yes, that makes sense.】

The viewers in the live chat were very wary of being scammed and began to suspect that Yu Xinche was just taking the blame for someone else.

“Okay, then I’ll go live and show you my account’s online history.” After explaining, the viewers still didn’t believe him, so Yu Xinche simply started her own live stream.

“When you’re old, you definitely won’t be fooled by those selling health supplements,” He Ci said sarcastically.

【…I couldn’t tell if they were scolding me or praising me.】

【Being vigilant is a good thing!】

Yu Xinche’s popularity was slightly lower than He Ci’s, but many casual viewers also want to know the truth about He Ci bringing a girl along, so the live stream was incredibly lively after he started the live.

【He’s this handsome even without makeup? I always thought his good looks were due to his makeup when he played competitively.】

【Yes, our fish looks amazing even without makeup!】

【Proudly puffing out her chest】

Yu Xinche logged into the Bubble-Blowing account and checked the login history to show the comments.

“It really is me. Do you believe us now?”

【…】

【So why use couple IDs?】

【There are also pink profile pictures】

【Does playing games every day affect your performance?】

【Why doesn’t the young master use skins?】

“The coach knows.”

Xu Le had already asked once in the afternoon, and now Yu Xinche was quite adept at it, answering each of the questions raised in the comments section in just a few words.

Each reason was reasonable, but the combination was just so explosive!

“I was about to ask that too,” He Ci interjected.

“It’s just regular training, but you guys really have good imaginations.”

【I’m sure this time it’s not a compliment.】

【Could you please add a live stream collaboration feature? I can’t keep up with watching both live streams!】

【Yes, it’s so annoying, I want to watch both of them!】

“Don’t worry, I’ll go offline in a bit, you guys go watch God Che.”

He Ci invited Yu Xinche to duo queue. While waiting for the match, he glanced at the chat and suddenly seemed to remember something: “By the way, it seems there’s more than just this one controversy lately. Let’s clarify it all together.”

“The roaming support tactic is agreed upon by the team, and it’s normal for me to be under pressure. This version of the bot lane is meant to be under pressure, so don’t use that to criticize people.”

【Okay then.】

【I got lectured, sob sob】

【But it was the fish fans who started the argument TAT】

【Waaaaah, those are haters! We real fans didn’t insult Young Master!】

【Even the fish don’t care about the fans.】

【Yes, it was quite lively just now, but now it’s playing dead.】

“Ignore everyone else, they’re all fake fans.” He Ci paused, typed two sentences in the chat box for the live stream to see, and then deleted them.

He doesn’t read forums and doesn’t know about these things.

– Don’t go to his live stream and spread rumors. It’s good that newbies don’t read forums.

【。】

【Dude, when did you become so thoughtful?】

【To prevent him from hearing about the forum, you even switched to typing for me to read.】

【I’m getting a little scared of how considerate you are; you’re not actually falling for him, are you?】

After finishing his business, He Ci decisively turned off the camera: “I’m going offline now, bye-bye.”

【???】

【I’m speechless. He already streamed infrequently, and now he streams even less to attract viewers for our baby.】

【Then why are you going live tonight? If you just start by having Yu open the live stream and show everyone his account, wouldn’t that explain everything quickly and save a lot of trouble?】

【That’s right】

【Don’t make noise, I’m thinking.】

【I get it! There were so many haters when he first started streaming, he probably didn’t want people to criticize him, so he streamed first to attract attention.】

【???????】

【Holy crap! That makes so much sense, the more I think about it, the more plausible it seems.】

【@My dear young master, I know you don’t like other people shipping your CP, but this time you really forced me to ship you guys, so don’t blame me.】

【Don’t blame me…】

【You just have to ship them!】

Tomorrow was a rest day. Strictly speaking, the base gave them a day and a half of rest time. The holiday started tonight, so there was no requirement for solo training.

So the two bot laners queued together all night.

After the live stream ended and they returned to their room, Yu Xinche took a shower and bathed first.

He Ci sat on the small sofa next to the balcony, playing on his phone while waiting.

This room was indeed considered large among the players’ rooms. In addition to the bed and bathroom, there was also a small living room. After all their luggages and belongings were put away, there was still plenty of empty space.

When Yu Xinche came out after washing up, He Ci subconsciously looked up at him.

Wearing loose-fitting long-sleeved shirts and trousers in the same color scheme, a section of his wrist was revealed when he raised his hand to wipe his hair; it was white and slender.

He Ci glanced at Yu Xinche before looking away, got up, grabbed his change of clothes, and went inside.

If he don’t go in soon, he might keep staring at Yu Xinche.

“Wait a minute,” Yu Xinche called out to him.

He Ci turned around in confusion: “What’s wrong?”

Yu Xinche looked at him for a while, then asked with a smile, “Have you never lived in a dormitory before?”

He Ci hummed in agreement, “I haven’t stayed in one before.”

He Ci hadn’t looked closely before, but now that they were close, he noticed a faint blush on Yu Xinche’s cheeks, probably from the heat of the shower.

His lips were a brighter color than usual, and his eyes were wet, dark, and bright.

His eyes were naturally on the longer side, with the outer corners tilted upwards, which was very beautiful.

He usually had a good l temperament and looked gentle and refined.

Now that Yu Xinche was more playful, the expression suddenly becomes bright and striking, with a subtle hint of aggression, like a little fox.

Yu Xinche paused for two seconds, perhaps organizing his thoughts: “I just finished showering, there’s still some steam in there. If you’re not in a hurry, you can go in later.”

“Oh, I see.” He Ci suddenly realized, put the clothes back, and sat back down on the sofa. “Then I’ll wait.”

“Mmm,” Yu Xinche responded, and went to get the hair dryer.

He Ci got closer, picked it up and handed it over.

When Yu Xinche came to take it, He Ci suddenly noticed something on his forehead.

He Ci asked him, “Is that a birthmark?”

“Huh?” Yu Xinche didn’t react.

He Ci pointed to his forehead: “Over here.”

“Ah…” Yu Xinche paused for a moment, “Yes.”

“Is it a heart?” He could vaguely see that it was a little whiter, with two pointed shapes. He Ci was a little curious and wanted to reach out and lift his bangs to see what it looked like.

Yu Xinche smiled, lifted his bangs to reveal her entire forehead, and leaned closer to him: “What do you think?”

Now that He Ci could see it clearly, it was a heart shape that wasn’t quite perfect. The angle was a bit too wide, making it look more like a right-angled symbol.

However, it’s quite remarkable that the birthmark had grown to this size. It’s barely noticeable, just a small embellishment that doesn’t look ugly; instead, it seems to have given him a cute mark.

“Yes, I think it’s a heart.”

“If you think it is, then it is.” Yu Xinche let his bangs down and said with a smile, “When I was in school, we weren’t allowed to have bangs. Some people saw it and asked out of curiosity, but no one said it looked like a heart.”

“They have no imagination.”

“Yes, as expected of you.”

“As expected of me.”

The next day, Yu Xinche had to go back to school. It had gotten colder recently, so he needed to go back to his dorm to get some warm clothes.

He was originally supposed to be driven by the team’s driver, but He Ci said he was free today, so He Ci drove instead, and the two of them went together.

Today was Wednesday, and his roommates have a full schedule of classes, so the dorm was empty.

Yu Xinche didn’t take too much; he only packed some of his favorite hoodies, coats, and innerwear.

He didn’t have enough clothes to wear, but there were team uniforms and clothes sent by the merchandise department, and he bought new ones online.

He also came here today for another purpose: to pick up a guitar.

The breakfast vlog he filmed when he first joined the team has been edited, but it’s a bit short, and because he didn’t explain much while filming, the final product wasn’t very expressive.

After discussing it with the video department, he decided to record another guitar playing video to add to the end, or ask them to help make background music to match the video.

He had already told He Ci on the way here, but He Ci was still surprised when he actually saw him take out a guitar.

“We can do a cosplay for high school students now,” He Ci said.

Wind also has a band persona; he’s a hooded hacker who plays guitar.

Yu Xinche also laughed: “I have actually considered playing songs related to the heroes’ skin.”

They packed their things quickly. The two of them had just finished lunch and came over. They stayed in the dorm for less than half an hour before leaving.

“Is there anything else planned for later?” He Ci asked after getting into the car.

“That’s all. Do you have something on?”

“Just a small errand.” With that, he set off in another direction.

Yu Xinche was completely confused: “Where are we going? Am I coming too?”

“You’ve changed into thicker clothes, so you should change your sheep’s clothes too.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Xinche was stunned. He blinked and spoke again after a while.

He turned to look at He Ci: “You saw it?”

He Ci smiled and said, “Yes.”

He was silent for a few seconds, then said, “…Then you can pretend you didn’t see it.”

The second half of the sentence was almost word by word, carrying a hint of annoyance and resentment.

After moving in together, Yu Xinche naturally brought over the plush lamb that He Ci had given him when he first joined the team. He felt embarrassed to put it on the bed, thinking it was too childish, so he placed it on the bedside table between them as a small decoration.

He had previously wrapped a ribbon around the lamb’s neck twice as a scarf, and folded two paper hats to wear on the lamb’s horns.

He hadn’t thought of this when he first moved in, but half a day later he suddenly remembered and quickly took off his scarf and hat.

He hadn’t mentioned it, so he thought He Ci hadn’t seen it.

“Okay. I didn’t see you put a scarf on the lamb, nor did I see anything on its horns.”

Yu Xinche: “…”

The light turned red, and he punched He Ci’s arm with his fist, saying, “Don’t say anything.”

We arrived at our destination quickly, and the car stopped in front of a cozy-looking shop.

The store name is the brand with the little sheep label.

The store was large, and through the glass windows you could see all sorts of dolls and clothes displayed inside. There was also a large area for DIY projects.

Yu Xinche subconsciously asked him, “You didn’t make that yourself, did you? That little sheep.”

“…No. I ordered it over the phone and picked it up myself later.”

“Oh, okay.” Yu Xinche breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it wasn’t. If He Ci had made it himself, Yu Xinche would have felt pressured, since they weren’t that familiar with each other back then.

“If you want, we can do it this time; there’s plenty of time.”

Yu Xinche thought for a moment and said, “No, let’s just make the clothes. Let’s go back early and play some duo matches tonight?”

“Okay.” He Ci didn’t say anything more.

Upon entering, Yu Xinche discovered that there were no customers doing DIY in the store today. After communicating with the staff, he picked out a piece of blue fabric, found a small table by the window, sat down, and began to make it according to the tutorial.

After a while, He Ci also made his selection, but he didn’t sit down. Instead, he sat at the table behind Yu Xinche.

Yu Xinche was curious, but he didn’t ask him anything.

He Ci must have his reasons for doing this. Maybe he didn’t want to be disturbed, or maybe he thought the table was too small and didn’t want the two of them to squeeze together.

Yu Xinche chose the blue sweater tutorial, and when he was only halfway done, He Ci had completed his.

When He Ci came over carrying his neatly packaged clothes, Yu Xinche couldn’t help but ask, “How did you make it so fast? What did you make?”

“You’ll find out when we get back.”

“I hope it won’t be the same as mine? It can only wear one shirt at a time.”

“No.” He Ci put the paper bag aside, sat down opposite him, and instead of looking at his phone, leaned back in his chair, lost in thought and basking in the sun.

At first, Yu Xinche felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, but later he realized that He Ci wasn’t looking at him the whole time, and that the weather outside the window was too nice and the store environment was too quiet, so he gradually relaxed.

Then he cut out a small tie and a fake shirt collar and sewed them on—and a preppy sweater was finished.

“How is it?” He held it up for He Ci to see. “Is it nice?”

He Ci looked up, studied him for a moment, and nodded seriously: “Cute.”

“Where is it cute? It even has a tie; it’s a formal, preppy style.”

He readily agreed and immediately changed his tune: “It looks good.”

He seemed a bit perfunctory, but Yu Xinche didn’t mind. After the items were packed, the two went back together.

On the way, Yu Xinche wanted to secretly watch what He Ci made while he was driving, but He Ci discovered it and he failed.

After finally returning to the base, Yu Xinche said he wanted to see it, but the marketing team who were recording videos were already waiting for him. With no other option, he went to record his guitar playing first.

He hadn’t played for a long time and was a bit rusty. It took him more than an hour to record a satisfactory version. When he left the recording room, he had forgotten about the sheep costume.

But he still needed to go back to my room to put the guitar away.

There was no one in the room. Yu Xinche found a corner to prop up his guitar and was about to leave when he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Xiao Yang (small sheep) on the bedside table had changed into a blue sweater. He then remembered the clothes He Ci had made.

The blue sweater was the only piece of clothing that can be seen from a distance.

“He Ci couldn’t have done nothing, could he?” Yu Xinche approached suspiciously and picked up the sheep.

The moment he saw it clearly, he was completely stunned. His eyelashes trembled, and the afternoon sunlight outside the window seemed to shine into his heart like the heart-shaped hair clip on the lamb’s forehead.

The shape was almost exactly the same as the one on his forehead, and He Ci remembered it after just one glance.

Perhaps fearing it would be too monotonous, he also made matching leather boots for the lamb’s four feet, and attached a sparkly ring to each of its four legs.

Yu Xinche took it off and looked at it. The inside of the ring had the words “TZ.Fix” on it, which should be the HPL championship ring that He Ci had won.

Actually, there are quite a few decorations, and it could feel cumbersome after a while, but Yu Xinche still loved playing with it for a long time.

Because this was the first time someone had expressed liking for the mark on his forehead.

And this was the first time someone discovered the hobby that he loved and didn’t deny it, but instead treated it very, very seriously.
