When Yu Zhaohan woke up, he found that there was no one in the base. He thought that the others stayed up too late the previous night and couldnât get up today. After breakfast, Lu Youshan asked him to discuss the new tactics, and the discussion lasted for most of the day. After he managed to deal with it, he went to the training room to have a look, not to mention gray hair, he didnât see any red hair, yellow hair, and crew-cut head.
Yu Zhaohan asked the aunt who was cleaning the rabbit cage: âHave you seen them in the afternoon?â
The auntie was also puzzled: âNo, there is no one in the room, I thought you guys had a sudden holiday today.â
Yu Zhaohan fell into deep thought. He remembered clearly that today was the first day of Shineâs birthday celebration.
He has a bold idea.
Except for Shi Du and Jiang Di, he knows that all members of R.H were his diehard fans. But even if his teammates admired him so much, they couldnât, or at least shouldnâtâŠ
Yu Zhaohan was about to send Shi Du a WeChat message when he heard the garage door open. Two minutes later, the five people who disappeared entered the living room one after another.
Leading the group was Old Tan, with a beaming smile on his face. But the other four wore peculiar expressions, as if they had seen through the world, understood the meaning of life, and were about to ascend to heaven.
Yu Zhaohan asked, âWhere did you go?â
âShh.â Old Tan said while holding the phone, âIâm calling the management team. I need to confirm with them before I can be at ease.â
Upon seeing him, Cheese had a strange and satisfied smile on his lips. âHello, Captain. Iâm going to the training room now.â
Jiang Di: âMe too.â
Qi Xian smiled and said, âIâll go to the kitchen to see whatâs for dinner.â
Shi Du was the last one who walked up to him.
The two looked at each other.
The boy carefully looked at him up and down for a long time, then showed a frustrated expression like admitting defeat, and said, âWhy are you so capable, Yu Zhaohan.â
Yu Zhaohan: ?
In the evening, on the R.H fan forum, a post with the title âRebirth from the ashes, Immortal Heroâ Can someone with discerning eyes help me confirm if this is Timeless? (Video attached)â started gaining popularity and attracted numerous online spectators. Even those who were not online rushed to join the discussion.
R.Hâs professional operation team discovered this post immediately and forwarded it to Old Tan. Old Tan immediately posted it to the WeChat group of [Captainâs Standee, Come and Get Yours].
[Cheese: Itâs happening! The law that Timeless must be recognized by fans when he goes out, takes photos, and post them online!]
[Jiang: Only Timeless was discovered?]
[Old Tan: So far, yes]
[Cheese: Does this indirectly prove that our team and the handsome guy really have a magnetic charm? [Live with a smile jpg]]
[Old Tan: Timeless, the management team wants to know your opinion. How do you want to handle this? I think itâs not a bad thing. Itâs an opportunity for you and Shine to promote together! What do you think?]
[Old Tan: Timeless, where are you?]
[Xian: At this time, my brother should be live broadcasting]
Although Yu Zhaohan wasnât present in the small group, wherever there was R.H gossip, there would be the presence of Yu Zhaohanâs alternate account roaming around. He saw this incident on Weibo and was moved to the point of blushing with warmth.
Shi Du couldnât have gone alone; the others must have also gone, but they werenât recognized to the extent that Shi Du was.
He didnât expect that his teammates really admired him so much, and they could do this for him.
Yu Zhaohanâs scalp was numb, and he couldnât help watching Shi Duâs shouting video repeatedly.
His little brother was using foul language again, and he was so loud.
Shi Du was indeed live broadcasting in order to earn money for buying a house. He didnât need to look at his phone; he could guess what happened just by looking at the barrage. He knew that if he went out, nothing good would happen, and he would go dye his hair black tomorrow.
[Brother, Iâm going to interrogate you. Where were you and what were you doing at exactly 3 p.m. this afternoon? Do you have any witnesses or evidence?]
[Everyone pays attention to the left edge of the hat in the video, this strand is gray hair, right? Is it right?]
[You still said you are not Timeless!]
[I never expected that you love Shine so much. Whereâs your pride, whereâs your self-esteem?!]
[I donât believe that the young master would do such a thing. Explain yourself.]]
Timeless stared expressionlessly at the camera. Those who had already experienced social death often reached a state of indifference to societal judgment and gossip, commonly known as âpretending to be indifferent.â
âWhatâs there to explain?â Timeless leaned back and adopted a rather arrogant posture. âSo what if Iâm a fan of Shine? Go ask the veterans of R.H. Ask them if any of them arenât fans of Shine. Cheese is probably livestreaming too, go ask him. Go ask them now.â
[Youâre really something, comparing yourself to Cheese? How long has Cheese been with Shine, and how long have you been with Shine?]
[The young master seems to have forgotten his arrogant demeanor when he was in IPL.]
[Itâs true love, indeed.]
[Iâm sorry, but what Iâm concerned about is R.Hâs people wanting to get standee. Are they also participating in the âRebirth from the ashes, immortal heroes!â event? Brother, letâs keep the conversation civil.]
In order to buy a house, Timeless forced himself to ignore the barrage of comments. âIâm playing on an alternate account today.â
Timeless logged into his alternate account and saw that Clownfish Isnât Ugly was also online. In frustration, he sent a team request.
[T: Iâm live broadcasting. Come support me.]
[Clownfish isnât ugly: I donât want to unless youâre more polite]
[T: .]
[T: Can you please support me tonight?]
[Clownfish are not ugly: Okay~]
The sweet double row of Timeless and Clownfish drew mixed reactions from the barrage of comments.
[?]
[Just became a fan of Shine, and now finding a guy to play with? Fucking scumbag.]
[This is flirting, right? This is flirting, right?]
[If Shine and the guy youâre playing with both fell into the water, who would you save first? Tell me, tell me right now.]
Timeless intended to play casually for relaxation and chose a fun game mode. Yu Zhaohan picked Magpie and relentlessly harassed the enemy support.
[[All] Ruan: You have the audacity to show off while playing a parasite? Disgusting.]
Magpie was one of the few heroes in the game that does not rely on marksmanship accuracy. Many regular players believe that playing Magpie only requires attaching to a strong teammate and winning effortlessly. Professional Magpie players, like Cheese, would criticize such comments every time they encountered them. Timeless would probably criticize them once every hundred times, like this time.
[[Team] T: Do you want me to help you get back?]
[[Team] Clownfish is not ugly: No need, Iâll handle it myself]
Yu Zhaohan switched the chat channel to the public screen and typed.
[[All] Clownfish is not ugly: Your assassin is so bad OvO]
[[All] Clownfish are not ugly: Not as powerful as mine OvO]
[[All] Ruan: ?]
[[All] Ruan: �]
Most of the subsequent comments from this couple were blocked, and Yu Zhaohan didnât bother to respond. He reported them and moved on.
Timeless chuckled softly, but when he glanced at the barrage, he couldnât laugh anymore.
[Damn, I actually think clownfish is kind of cute?]
[Are you blind? Thatâs clearly a male green tea!]
[Brothers, donât be distracted by the stinky brother. Keep spammingâRebirth from the ashes, immortal heroes!]
[Rebirth from the ashes, immortal heroes!]
[Rebirth from the ashes, immortal heroes!]
[There is one more sentence, the most classic sentenceâ Fuck!]
Shi Du broadcasted for three hours before going offline. He lay on his bed, and every time he closed his eyes, he saw himself shouting the R.H slogan in the bustling crowd.
In his eighteen years of life, Shi Du had never done anything as outrageous as this. So, it could be said that Yu Zhaohan had the ability to transform him into something extraordinary.
The screen of the phone next to the pillow lit at this moment, and it was a WeChat message.
Shi Du had a premonition and sat up straight.
[Shine: Iâm at the door of your room, can I come in]
There was no way Yu Zhaohan could be kept in the dark about the âRebirth from the ashes, immortal heroes!â event. Instead of being questioned by him, it was better to confess on his own terms.
[Timeless: Wait a moment]
The door only opened a small gap, and Yu Zhaohan slipped in sideways: âGood evening, Shi Du.â
ââŠIs your knee better?â
âItâs better.â Yu Zhaohan closed the door behind him and sat on the bed as if it were his usual spot. âI have something to ask you. You were live broadcasting during the double queue, so I can only wait until now to ask.â
Shi Du didnât speak. He first opened the drawer of the E-sports table, took out a pack of cotton candy from it, and threw it into Yu Zhaohanâs arms. Then he pulled over his gaming chair and sat in front of Yu Zhaohan. âAsk away.â
Yu Zhaohan said: âYouâŠâ
Without waiting for Yu Zhaohan to actually ask the question, Timeless quickly interrupted, speaking at a rapid pace, âI went to the tournament venue today and shouted the slogan. But it wasnât just me, Cheese and the others did too.â
Yu Zhaohan looked at him: âWhy do you want to go?â
Timeless made an effort to appear nonchalant. âBecause I really wanted to get your chibi standee.â
He has to admit that Yu Zhaohanâs âRules of Pretending to Be Coerciveâ make sense, and the [nonchalant] approach worked. As long as he says it [nonchalantly], when Yu Zhaohan reacts unexpectedly, he can still argue that he was just casually saying it to avoid making the situation too awkward.
Yu Zhaohan was stunned and asked, âDo you really want it that much?â
Timeless chuckled, âIâve gone to such lengths, and youâre still asking?â
Timelessâs response made Yu Zhaohan instinctively nervous, although he didnât know why he felt that way. He unwrapped the packaging of the marshmallow, put a small piece in his mouth, and mumbled, âYou told me to ask.â
âAnyway,â the boy lowered his gaze, his expression cool yet somewhat shy, âI think, I thinkâŠI probably, probably reallyâŠlike you.â
Yu Zhaohan blinked his eyes, and he was no longer nervous. He swallowed the marshmallow and said, âThatâs it? I thought you were going to say something else.â
Timeless had the feeling of pouring his heart out to a dog, and his tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction as he said, âWhat do you mean âis that itâ? Arenât you⊠Yuyu, Iâve said so much, why arenât you moved at all, not even surprised?â
Yu Zhaohan was unreserved, âIâm good-looking and skilled at gaming, so itâs normal for you to like me.â
Time Du: â.â
Yu Zhaohan then asked, âSo, what kind of fan do you want to be of mine?â
âIs there a choice?â
âThere is.â Yu Zhaohan explained, âMy fans can be divided into two categories: fans of my appearance and fans of my skills. And if we go into further detail, there are wife fans, clay sculpting fans, career fans⊠There are also mommy fans, but they are very few in number. Cheese has many mommy fans.â
Although Shi Du didnât pay much attention to fan culture, he had a rough idea, except for a few terms he didnât quite understand. âClay sculpting1Clay sculpting fans refer to a type of female fans who like feminized male idols and want to be their boyfriends. These fans enjoy seeing male idols in feminine appearances and perceive them as charming little girls.âFrom Baidu Encyclopedia fans sound impressive, Iâll choose that.â
Yu Zhaohan didnât expect Shi Du to want to be his clay sculpting fan. His ears perked up slightly, and he asked somewhat uncertainly, âDoes that mean youâll call me your wife in the future too?â
Shi Du was slightly startled, vaguely understanding the meaning of being a clay sculpting fan. His Adamâs apple rolled involuntarily, âIs that actually allowed? I can do that too?â
Yu Zhaohan said uncertainly: âI donât know, but they all call me that. Do you want to call me that?â
