Bai Xuan brought Xie Shurong into his own home. Last time, the presence of the parents meant Xie Shurong didn’t dare explore Bai Xuan’s house. Today, only Bai Xuan was at home and Xie Shurong didn’t need to be scrupulous. He entered the house and asked with a smile, “Which room is yours? I want to see where you live?”

  “This side.” Bai Xuan opened his bedroom door. “It’s nothing special.”

  Xie Shurong walked in and saw that the bedroom was as clean and tidy as he imagined. The wallpaper and bed were a soft beige tone, so that the whole room seemed extraordinarily warm. There was a photo frame on the table that showed Bai Xuan in his youth. His facial features hadn’t fully developed and he looked young as he smiled at the camera.

  “Do you have any photos of when you were a child? Xie Shurong looked back at Bai Xuan. “Can you show me?”

  “What’s so good about photos as a child?”

  “They help me get to know you better.” Xie Shurong smiled. “If you like someone then you want to know their past. I am especially curious about when you were young.”

  “Fine.” Bai Xuan smiled helplessly and turned to get a photo album. Xie Shurong sat on Bai Xuan’s bed and casually watched it. As a child, Bai Xuan had particularly lovely white skin while his eyes were black and big. He was very fond of smiling. In most of the photos, he was smiling at the camera and this made Xie Shurong want to pinch Xiao Bai’s face in the photos.

  Bai Xuan saw that this person’s smile had become darker and deeper and couldn’t help asking, “What are you smiling at? Do I look funny when I’m a kid?”

  “You were very cute, worthy of being the person I like.” Xie Shurong took the photo album and kissed the child in the photo. Bai Xuan was embarrassed by this action and grabbed the photo album. “You can kiss the seven year old child!”

  Xie Shurong glanced at Bai Xuan. “Whether it is seven or seventy, I am willing to kiss as long as it is you.”

  His eyes were so earnest that Bai Xuan’s heartbeat sped up. He didn’t dare look at this person for a moment and turned to look out the window. The words ‘seventy’ made Bai Xuan imagine the two old men together. It wasn’t beautiful but it made Bai Xuan feel warm. This type of feeling was light, like sweetened candy that seeped into the bottom of his heart.

  ***

  In the afternoon, Bai Xuan wanted to accompany Xie Shurong for a stroll. As a result, they had just walked out the door when they saw a girl standing at the door with several books in her arms. It was Bai Ning, Bai Xuan’s cousin.

  This girl had listened to Bai Xuan’s words yesterday. She returned home and sorted out a bunch of information about e-sports players. She wanted to ask her cousin about them only to see a tall and handsome boy standing next to him. Bai Ning was stunned and immediately put down the books as she threw herself at him. “Ah Shu! Are you Ah Shu? I like you the most!”

  Xie Shurong was frightened and glanced at Bai Xuan with confusion. Bai Xuan helplessly introduced them, “This is my cousin, Bai Ning.”

  Xie Shurong sighed with relief when he heard this and hugged Bai Ning. “Hello, I am Xie Shurong.”

  Bai Ning was excited. “Looking closely, the real person is more handsome than the photo!”

  Xie Shurong wasn’t modest and naturally replied, “I also think I am more handsome.”

  “…” Bai Xuan was silent for a moment and glanced back at this sister. “Did you come to find me for something?”

  “Oh Brother, yesterday you said that I need the foundation if I want to be an e-sports player. I bought some books to ask you questions.” Bai Ning smiled and handed the books to him. “Brother, can you let Ah Shu be my teacher for a while? I also like to play a swordsman…”

  \r \r \r

  Bai Xuan hadn’t managed to speak when Xie Shurong smiled and promised. “No problem, if you have any questions then ask me.”

  “Is it really okay?” Bai Nine glanced at him expectantly.

  Xie Shurong nodded and spoke gently, “Of course, Bai Xuan’s sister is my sister.”

  Bai Xuan’s ears were hot when he heart this but since his sister came, he immediately called the two people into the house.

  Xie Shurong thought that Bai Xuan’s cousin was very cute. This little girl’s character was lively and she had a clear mention state. She was different from Bai Xuan’s gentleness and carefulness. Xie Shurong was the only child at home and naturally treated Bai Xuan’s sister as his own sister, patiently answering her strange questions.

  For the afternoon, Xie Shurong patiently answered various strange questions and taught her how to play the swordsman. Bai Ning’s excited laughter came from the study from time to time, mixed with Xie Shurong’s explanations. This made Bai Xuan’s heart feel a bit funny.

  He didn’t expect that this childish Ah Shu could be so good when helping Bai Xuan’s sister.

  In order to reward him, Bai Xuan personally cooked a sumptuous dinner. Xie Shurong and Bai Ning smelt it and came to the restaurant. They chatted while eating and had obviously become very familiar during the afternoon.

  Bai Ning asked curiously, “Brother Shu, do you have a girlfriend?”

  “No.” Xie Shurong replied with a smile. He had a boyfriend and it was her brother.

  “Then what do you like?”

  “I like…” Xie Shurong wanted to saw her brother but he saw Bai Xuan’s stare and immediately changed his words. “I like a gentle person with a good temper who is easy to get along with.

  “Oh. “Bai Ning satisfied her curiosity and turned to ask Bai Xuan, “Brother, what about you? What type do you like? Are you too busy to fall in love?”

  Bai Xuan almost choked. He coughed a few times before changing the topic. “Eat more. You are too thin.”

  Her mouth was blocked with a rib and Bai Ning stopped talking. She ate the food in the bowl and chattered with Xie Shurong for a while before leaving in a satisfied manner.

  Once she left, Xie Shurong spoke, “Your sister is very talented. I think she is a good seedling and can perhaps become a female player later. I gave her my Q number and will teach her in the future.”

  Bai Xuan wondered, “Why are you suddenly so kind?”

  Xie Shurong smiled. “Didn’t I say it? Your sister is my sister. Your family, I will treat as my own family.”

  The simply sentence moved Bai Xuan.

  Bai Ning’s personality was actually a bit annoying. Generally, men couldn’t stand such girls pestering them with questions, especially when some of the questions were quite childish. Yet Xie Shurong patiently answered them all afternoon because of Bai Xuan. -

  Your family, I will treat as my own family.

  This sentence was lethal to Bai Xuan. It was actually stronger than ‘I like you.’

  It was only when a person really wanted to be with someone that they would attach so much importance to family. Falling in love wasn’t the same as getting married. Once a loved one was brought to see the family, it meant there was a plan to live with them.

  It wasn’t until this moment that Bai Xuan discovered he was deeply trying to get along with Xie Shurong. Otherwise, who could he bring them back to meet his parents? How could he watch his mother give the jade pendant to Xie Shurong without objection?

  It turned out that unconsciously, his heart had already fallen completely.

  Bai Xuan felt surprised but he was very calm.

  Xie Shurong wasn’t in line with his original ideal type but what did it matter? As long as the two of them treated each other sincerely, their days could be peaceful and beautiful.

  Bai Xuan smiled softly as he watched Xie Shurong actively run to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

  He finally found the person he could sincerely entrust his heart to and was very satisfied. He decided to give Xie Shurong a promotion and salary increase this evening. As for the specific salary increase… he would let Ah Shu be willful and make a request.

  After sending away Bai Ning, Xie Shurong consciously went to the kitchen to wash dishes. By the time he came out, Bai Xuan had already taken a shower. He was sitting at the table and thinking carefully. Xie Shurong cheekily walked to him and hugged the other person, placing his chin on Bai Xuan’s shoulder. “What are you thinking about? Is it me?”

  Bai Xuan didn’t refute him and smiled. “Yes, I was thinking about you. You’ve been doing well recently and as the boss, I’ve decided to give the regular employee a pay rise.”

  Xie Shurong excitedly hugged him. “Really? What is the pay rise method? Is it a kiss or…”

  Bai Xuan reached out and touched his chin. “Go and take a shower.”

  The meaning of this sentence was obvious and Xie Shurong immediately smiled. “I understand, Boss. I must wash myself clean.”

  Bai Xuan saw him rush like the wind into the bathroom with his toiletries. Bai Xuan was both amused and nervous at the same time.

  Did he really want to extend their physical relationship? Wasn’t it a bit too soon? Then when he thought about it carefully, they time they dated wasn’t short. From an internship to a formal relationship, it had been almost a year…

  Since it was a mutual affection, it was normal to meet each other’s physical needs. Bai Xuan took a deep breath and sat on the bed in the bedroom, thinking about what might happen next. He couldn’t help his cheeks heating up.

  A while later, Xie Shurong came out of the shower and he was only wearing underwear.

  Bai Xuan saw that this person was quite good when undressed. The muscles of his arms and thighs were strong but didn’t look too rough. It was a well-balanced beauty. The eight pack was very eye-catching and the young and strong body approaching him made Bai Xuan’s heart beat faster.

  Xie Shurong sat down next to him with a smile and whispered, “Is my body satisfactory?”

  Bai Xuan shifted his gaze and said, “Okay.”

  Xie Shurong grasped Bai Xuan’s hand, clasping their fingers together closely. He glanced seriously at Bai Xuan. “I really want to go further with you but I don’t want to force you. If you don’t want to…”

  “I didn’t say I don’t want to.” Bai Xuan interrupted him with some embarrassment. “Let’s go with the flow.”

  “Then shall we try it tonight?”

  “Okay.”

  Chapter 387 – Working Together for a Lifetime (1) Ling Xuefeng & Li Cangyu Extra

  The national team won the First Miracle World Competition and many reporters wanted a comprehensive interview with all players. However, many players weren’t willing to do interviews since they wanted to rest for a few days. Since the players had been playing for so long and were exhausted by the matches, Chairman Nan Jiangang declined the reporters’ request to interview everyone and found two representatives.

  The representatives were naturally Captain Li Cangyu and Vice-Captain Ling Xuefeng.

  Chairman Nan smiled and said, “Some players aren’t talkative in front of reporters and some are unwilling to show up. Therefore, the difficult task of the interviews will be handed to you and Xuefeng.”

  Li Cangyu reluctantly had to promise. He turned to the hotel and sat on the sofa while rubbing his temples. “The chairman asked us to go for an interview tomorrow. The questions that could be answered have already been answered. I don’t know what the reporters want us to say.”

  “Who told us to be the captain and vice-captain?” Ling Xuefeng walked over and helped massage his shoulders, whispering, “It will only be busy for the next day days. Then I will accompany you to go on a holiday after returning to China.”

  “Yes, the holiday period is relatively long and we can relax.” Li Cangyu’s modd was obviously much better. He looked back at Ling Xuefeng and wondered, “Where do you want to go for the holiday?”

  “You decide.” Ling Xuefeng’s voice was very gentle.

  He was usually cold and serious. In particular, everyone in the Wind Colour team had to listen to their captain’s orders. As a result, in front of Li Cangyu, he always gave up on making decisions. Maybe it was because he was a captain outside and a wife at home? Li Cangyu had this thought and couldn’t help smiling. He questioned in a calm voice, “Xuefeng, shall I take you on a honeymoon?”

  “Good.” LIng Xuefeng’s lips curved slightly and his eyes were bright. “Where do you want to go on the honeymoon?”

  “How about going to the Maldives?” Li Cangyu opened his phone with excitement and searched for a photo of the Maldives, pointing to the blue sky and sea in the photo. “After all, it is a legendary honeymoon place and the scenery should be good. We are both tired from playing the game so how about going on a romantic trip?”

  Ling Xuefeng nodde.d “Yes, shall we go by ourselves?”

  “Of course, I don’t want to report to a tour group. Too many light bulbs are boring.” Li Cangyu lened over and gently kissed Ling Xuefeng. “We will go just the two of us.”

  Ling Xuefeng saw the expression on this man’s face and really wanted to throw him on the sofa. However, considering there was an interview tomorrow, Ling Xuefeng had to take a deep breath and suppress the urges of his body. He gently touched this person’s cheek and said, “Okay, I’ll check the route and tickets. If you are tired then sleep first. We have to attend the press conference in the morning.”

  “Yes, then I’ll sleep first.” Li Cangyu lay down on the bed and watched Ling Xuefeng sitting in front of the laptop and carefully checking tickets, causing Li Cangyu’s heart to warm. It was really a blessing to find such a powerful and considerate wife.

  ***

  The next morning, the two people got up early and prepared for the interview with the media.

  Ling Xuefeng usually wore a suit when attending formal events. He was tall and had long legs. Whenever he wore a suit, he looked like a cover model in a magazine. His exquisite facial features gave a sense of abstinence and many fans were excited just looking at his face.

  Li Cangyu usually liked to wear loose and comfortable casual wear. However, today he wore a suit in order to match Ling Xuefeng. Coincidentally, his clothes were the same colour as Ling Xuefeng’s suit.

  Ling Xuefeng apparently discovered this. He came over to Li Cangyu and examined it carefully. Then he leaned over and whispered in Li Cangyu’s ears, “Did you specifically prepare a couple’s outfit with me?”

  \r \r \r

  Li Cangyu didn’t deny it and nodded calmly. “Don’t you think this is perfect?”

  Ling Xuefeng smiled and hugged the straightforward big cat. “It is a perfect match.”

  The two of them met Tan Shitian and Cheng Wei at the restaurant downstairs. It was only Xiao Cheng who would run downstairs to eat breakfast so early. IT turned out that today’s hotel buffet had many special snacks. Tan Shitian smiled and greeted them politely while Cheng Wei put down the cake in his hand and ran to Li Cangyu. “Cat God, you’re so handsome today! Isn’t this like going to a wedding?”

  Li Cangyu, “…”

  Tan Shitian immediately pulled back Cheng Wei and smiled. “Cough, Cat God and Captain Ling are going to the press conference, right?”

  Cheng Wei only just realized and grinned. “Oh, the chairman made you face the reporters again. Cat God, refuel!”

  Li Cangyu and Ling sat at the next table to eat breakfast before going to the conference room on the third floor of the hotel.

  They pushed open the door and were immediately greeted with flashing lights. The venue was full of heads, including some foreign reporters. It was obvious that the scale of this press conference was very large but Li Cangyu and Ling Xuefeng had long been used to such a scene. The two of them exchanged a look before walking forward.

  Li Cangyu wore a suit and was handsome and compelling when he smiled. Ling Xuefeng looked cold and his suit was steady and restrained. The two men with different styles stood together and coordinated very well. In particular, today’s clothes matched each other.

  The reporters saw the two people and clapped. After the warm applause, the host signalled for the interview to start. A girl stood up excitedly and asked, “I noticed that the clothes worn by the two great gods today are of the same style. Did you buy it together?”

  Li Cangyu replied, “I bought it previously when I was in China. I rarely wear suits but Xuefeng is so formal today that I have to cooperate with him. Otherwise, it will be too strange when we stand together.”

  Ling Xuefeng heard this and glanced over at him with a slight smile. “You are very handsome in formal clothing.”

  The brief exchange made the atmosphere warm and the reporters couldn’t help agreeing, “Cat God is really handsome!”

  ”Can’t he go directly to a wedding like this?”

  A photographer took a close-up photo of the two people. After a closer look, he was surprised to find that the two men sitting together in formal clothing looked like the photo ID of a marriage certificate. Of course, the photographer immediately got rid of the strange idea that popped up and pointed his camera again.

  The reporters’ questions also entered the right track. “Cat God, your leadership has contributed to this national team winning the World Competition. Now that you have won, what do you want to tell everyone?”

  Li Cangyu picked up the microphone and smiled. “I am the captain and my only credit is in arranging the lineup and organizing the tactical training. The most important thing is the players of the national team. The players have a very high overall level and everyone worked together to play every game. Each step was practical and we deserved to win this World Competition. The most gratifying thing is that we lived up to the expectations of the audience.”

  The people clapped warmly. Obviously, many reporters were from China and were satisfied with Li Cangyu’s elegant answer. A male reporter stood up and questioned, “Do you think there are any weak links in the Chinese team that needs to be improved on?”

  “Of course. We aren’t as mature as the US team and South Korean team in the use of certain tactics.” Ling Xuefeng glanced over at Li Cangyu and continued, “These questions will be studied in detail after returning home.”

  “Yes, we have already gained the referee’s perspective of every match in this World Competition and they will be the focus of the major teams after returning home.” Li Cangyu continued on from Ling Xuefeng.

  “We might’ve won the championship but we still have to consider future competitions. We can’t stand still.” Ling Xuefeng stated.

  Li Cangyu nodded. “Yes.

  “Do you have the confidence to win the next World Competition? Will the two of you serve as leaders of the national team again?” This question caused many reporters’ ears to prick nervously.

  LI Cangyu and Ling Xuefeng shared a tacit look. Then Ling Xuefeng picked up the microphone and replied, “It isn’t good to talk about next year’s matters.”

  “It is too early for the next World Competition and we can’t predict the future.” Li Cangyu continued. “After returning, we will first prepare for the eighth season of the domestic league. That is the most critical thing.”

  The two people answered the reporters’ questions one by one. Whenever a foreign reporter asked something, Ling Xuefeng would interpret for Li Cangyu. The two worked together seamlessly and quickly answered all questions.

  After nearly an hour of answering questions, their throats were a bit dry. Ling Xuefeng opened a bottle of water and handed it to Li Cangyu. Li Cangyu naturally took it and drank from it. At this time, someone suddenly stood up and asked, “Cat and Ling are both captains and you’re normally busy. Do you have time to look for a girlfriend?”

  Li Cangyu put down the water bottle and asked with surprise, “Can personal questions be asked?”

  The host told him, “You can choose not to answer or it is fine if you are willing to answer.”

  The reporter anxiously spoke, “Many fans hope that your personal matters can be resolved well. You can’t completely ignore life events in order to play the game. Can you tell us what type of girls you like?”

  Li Cangyu smiled slightly. “In fact, I have a lover and the current progress is very smooth. I don’t want to announce their identity for the time being because I don’t want too many people to bother my lover. They are also an e-sports player.”

  The audience exclaimed and this was followed by another bombshell.

  Ling Xuefeng lightly spoke, “I also have a lover. We are very good, thank you for your concern.”

  Everyone, “…”

  ***

  Shortly after the press conference ended, Weibo went viral with the news that both Cat God and Captain Ling had a lover.

  Many people guessed who Li Cangyu’s girlfriend was among the e-sports players. Most of them pointed their fingers at girls of the Red Fox team before shifting to the female players of the Dragon Song Club. A guessing game started on Li Cangyu’s Weibo page.

  Ling Xuefeng’s Weibo also had many fan questions. Many people couldn’t imagine it at all. What type of person would be worthy for Captain Ling?

  Weibo became a messy pot of porridge. Li Cangyu saw the comments on Ling Xuefeng’s Weibo and felt some regret. “I shouldn’t have answered the reporter’s question.”

  “It doesn’t matter. They will eventually know one day.” Ling Xuefeng didn’t care and gently held Li Cangyu’s shoulder. “Are aren’t doing anything shady and besides, aren’t we a good match?”

  Li Cangyu nodded earnestly. “That’s true. In this world, only I am worthy of you.”

  His confident smile was particularly dazzling and Ling Xuefeng couldn’t move his eyes away. After watching for a while, Ling Xuefeng couldn’t hold back and leaned down to press a kiss against this person’s lips. Then he smiled and said, “Yes, only you.” -

  Only you deserve me and only you know me. -

  Only I deserve you and only I really know you.

  Together, they were called a match ‘made in heaven.’ Their attitude towards this relationship was also very calm. They didn’t announce it because the timing wasn’t right. One day, it would be announced but as long as this person was by his side, he wouldn’t be afraid no matter how difficult.

  It was because there was a person willing to share all joys with himself and was willing to accompany him to bear the suffering.
