How Did You Guys Become Boyfriends While GamingCh1 - Feeling like Reaching the Peak of Life

Yu Qinghuan lay sprawled on the round bed on his back, staring at the purple curtain hanging down from the headboard, and listening to the sound of shower coming from the bathroom. There was only one thought in his mind.

His life had reached a peak again! NYQt H

He! A college graduate of not even a full year, had his four corners perfectly polished round by the cruel society rules.

Now, he was lying in a five-star hotel’s love suite, contemplating his life.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

The first question that entered his mind was.

Why is such a room so red and purple? Isn’t this a five-star hotel? O0u51P

Look at this lamp, the bed, the wall, and the strange-looking chair with the creepy wrist straps. How this made Yu Qinghuan want to shout to the sky.

It is the so-called purple! Qi! From! The! East!

That was fine it was out of matching the color scheme in the room, but no, the bathroom was another story.

The fucking room was fully transparent, all glass and no wall. Taking a shower inside and being out on display from the outside! Adam and Eve, who ate the forbidden fruit in the legend, would have beaten the designer up! Did he eat the fig leaf up!

The pitter-patter of the shower reached Yu Qinghuan’s ears and reminded him of the man who shared this room with him was still washing.

Maybe out of his shame, he only dared to stare at the ceiling and beat the hotel designer in his mind one hundred and eighty times.

Oh right, the man who was staying in this room with him…

He flipped over to turn his back to the transparent bathroom, recalling their meeting in the hotel lobby. 3ftShN

How unlucky he was today.

Early in the morning, his boss called and asked him to go on a business trip to meet a client. He managed to snatch a train ticket. But the train was delayed and it was late into the night by the time he arrived at his destination.

And the worst part was.

He could not book a room! OxXpPm

The story was an esports competition was being held here, and several national teams were here. The nearby hotel rooms were either taken by esports clubs, fangirls, fanboys, or fans of the game.

Yu Qinghuan hovered on the street with his mobile phone in his hand, lamenting about the possibility of sleeping under the bridge. Suddenly, he received a room reservation notification. Without reading the message, he grabbed his suitcase and rushed to the hotel.

However, not only was it a five-star hotel with an insane price tag, the room availability was also a mistake by the hotel staff, which was why a notification was sent to him.

Yu Qinghuan was filled with despair. He felt that if his heart was fragile by a tiny bit, he would have crashed into the lobby’s golder pillar and left this wonderful world. euiQC

When he was about to cry, the receptionist lady’s heart softened and suggested, “Why don’t you wait in the lobby to see if any guests will check out.”

“Okay, thank you miss.” Yu Qinghuan thanked her.

It was half past midnight. 6Xrtvq

He decided to wait for ten more minutes. If no luck, he could always stay in the train lobby for the night. After all, if he was to stay here all night, he would only be putting the nice lady in a difficult position.

Putting away his phone, he looked up to find that there was a new person at the front desk.

This person’s side profile was handsome, almost outrageously.

The man was holding a shiny gold room card. gosy H

Yu Qinghuan’s eyes immediately locked on the room card the man was holding.

Ah! Long-awaited rain to stop the drought! The coming of spring for a withered tree! Good fortune was coming to him! He was getting a room!

The man said, “Hello, I want to check out…”

Yu Qinghuan nearly jumped to his feet. He approached carefully, preparing to snatch the room by putting his ID card on the reception desk the moment the man checked out. 9BsHiT

Instead, the person was not checking out, only wanted to change rooms.

The lady at the front desk apologized and informed softly, “My apologies, sir, but we do not have another room available for you to switch.”

The man frowned. “Are there no more single rooms? How about a two-person room?”

The receptionist replied, “All the rooms are booked.” wAbj8v

The man sighed, “Fine, I see.”

Then he put the room card back into his pocket, the item that was the source of Yu Qinghuan’s glowing green eyes.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Yu Qinghuan: “…”

No! My rain! My spring! My fortune! My room card! Heaven, take me from this world now! MrTVek

Watching the man heading to the elevator, Yu Qinghuan took a deep breath and summoned up the courage. Then he suddenly grabbed the man’s arm and shouted, “This good sir!”

It seemed to have startled the man as he tried to shake Yu Qinghuan’s hand away.

“I am sorry for my abruptness.” Yu Qinghuan bowed and repeatedly apologized, “It’s like this. This hotel is quite expensive, right? Sir, would you like someone to pay for your room?”

The man raised his eyebrow and asked, “You want to pay for my room?” nSCyox

“Yes, I cannot book a room tonight and I am wondering if you would allow me to stay with you for tonight? I am willing to pay for the entire accommodation.” Yu Qinghuan put his hands together and begged sincerely.

The man studied Yu Qinghuan from head to toe with an astonished look and said, “But I do not know you, so how do I know you are not doing this with a bad intention?”

Yu Qinghuan opened his suitcase, shuffled through the neatly folded clothes inside, and took out one thing at a time. “Sir, this is my ID card, this is my work badge, this is my wallet, and this is my phone. You can take a picture of them, or keep them and return them to me tomorrow morning. I can sleep on the floor as well. I just want a place to take a shower because I am meeting with a client tomorrow. If you still do not believe me, I will…”

He closed the suitcase and pledged seriously, “I will swear to you!” Ti6VUw

That man gawked, “What the hell? Swear on what?”

Yu Qinghuan swore, “If I have a malicious intention towards you, I will be run over by a car when I cross the road and will have all the bones in my body be shattered. If I was to live through that, the hospital that I will be sent to will happen to run out of anesthesia, so I will be in pain the whole time. Then the doctor will whisper into my ear how he accidentally snapped the needle he used to draw my blood with, leaving the needle in my arms. And how he forgot to use a clean needle, injected me with the same needle that was used on an infectious patient before…”

Pfff—” The lady at the front desk was amused.

The man’s mouth was also curved upward as he inspected Yu Qinghuan with interest, and interrupted his deadly oath, “Okay, enough.” zYT8Zi

Yu Qinghuan quickly shut up and asked hopefully, “So, are you willing to share a room with me?”

The man did not immediately answer. After staring at Yu Qinghuan in silence for a long time, he suddenly asked without a second thought, “Do you not know who I am?”

Yu Qinghuan raised his head to look at the man.

Handsome, neat, elegant, and standing tall and straight. This man looked as talented as his dashing appearance. ufW51

But he fucking could not put a name to this face!

Who is this?

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

Someone famous?

An actor maybe? Ul7JKR

If he really is an actor, then dage, how can you walk out without wearing a mask and sunglasses? Have some awareness on hiding your identity! 

Yu Qinghuan hesitated for a moment and asked, “Are you an actor?”

The man chuckled and said, “I am not. Fine, come with me.”

Yu Qinghuan immediately smiled and caught up with the other with his suitcase in hand. “Thank you so much! I wish your family to never gain weight from indulging in dessert, never to grow acne from indulging in spicy food, not get tan from walking under the sun, and keep a head full of hair even from lack of sleep!” PEAQpI

The man chuckled softly again and added, “I seem to have these kinds of physiques.”

Yu Qinghuan gave a thumbs up. “…It is amazing that you have not been killed out of jealousy for this long!”

The man sighed, “You are very conversational.”

Yu Qinghuan replied, “Thank you for the compliment!” r4xZOg

Once they reached the fifth floor, the elevator dinged.

Yu Qinghuan dragged his suitcase, followed the man turning from left to right, and came to the front of the room.

The man took out his room card and before he swiped it, he suddenly paused, turned to Yu Qinghuan and asked, “By the way, have you ever thought…”

“Eh? What?” Yu Qinghuan was confused. 2OE54Y

The man smiled from the corner of his lips, looked at Yu Qinghuan with interest and said with a devilish grin. “Have you ever thought that the one with malicious intentions is not you, but me. What will you do then?”

Yu Qinghuan: “…”

This never really crossed his mind.

Watching Yu Qinghuan stay silent, the man smiled even wider as he asked, “You said you were looking for someone to share a room with, so you can have a place to shower?” KB6L7P

Yu Qinghuan nodded.

With the room card in his hand, the man swiped it to unlock the door, curved his eyes with his lips and welcomed, “Then you better be mentally prepared, after all, I am not the kind of person who wanted to change rooms for no reason.”

He opened the door.

Yu Qinghuan’s eyes widened, mouth dropped, and body froze in place. i7uW0s

The man went to the front desk to change rooms.

Was because…

This was a love suite!!!


Translator has something to say: uZTmnY

Teo: I went and edited title, synopsis and chapter.

This is a teaser I did for Mora, I am reading it right now and once I finish, I will decide if I want to pick it up or not. Also, comments will definitely motivate me, just saying :3c

Future Teo: I have decided to pick it up. Please enjoy and happy reading!

Esports is only a background. hQkera

Esports is only a background.

Esports is only a background.

Important things must be said three times.

The novel only contains about 10% of actual gaming, so take this as a grain of salt and consider this as my second warning for anyone here for esports. pahdSl

Translator's Note

Four meanings to be a good young man. I changed it to ‘four corners’ according to the content. This is what it means to be a virtuous young man (roughly translated as): striving for his motherland/ lofty ideas, studying hard/ pursuing progress, good moral characters and solidarity, and to be a healthy/ lively/ cheerful person.

Translator's Note

The second word, qi, had been translated into air, energy, aura in the community. The phrase also goes  by ‘Purple vapor from the east’, it means propitious omen.

Translator's Note

Not an easy thing to translate, but this is an oath which entails a negative outcome, usually to oneself, should the oath be broken (e.g. “If I break my promise, I will be cursed”).

Translator's Note

Older brother. The usage here, to me, is like in a helpless manner, like an elder warning a junior from doing something bad by calling him ‘son’ (best comparison I can think of). Giving the ‘kids these days’ vibe, or bruh/ dude.

Translator's Note

I don’t know if it’s a culture thing, but it appeared this five-star hotel has room like out of a love hotel. There is not really a word for it in English…For visual, check out the image provided on baike, they called it a ‘sex room’. Had it as an adult room but I like the manhua’s love suite more. So I’m going to use a love suit. Another similar term could be ‘honeymoon suite’.

Amazing as always ( ๑ ❛ ڡ ❛ ๑ ) ❤

  2. Wow, this is the very new novel after “After I Flopped on My Crash”!!! I had it in my bookmarks at the stage of the synopsis without chapters and it was very confusing. But now I really like it~

  3. 🤭Omg! That shower is so so so … damn awesome! 👍 I already love Yu Qinghuan. Can’t wait to read more of his random nonsense conversations. It’s so fun to read. 😂

  4. This is hilarious!! And the MC’s personality is really refreshing haha, I’m already doting for this ball of sunshine. Thank you for picking up this novel!

  5. Thank you for the warning tags 💞

    Initially thought it was, reading the first few chapters of the manhua (then forgetting after waiting to stockpile the updates) 😅🙈

  6. Yu Qinghuan swore, “If I have a malicious intention towards you, I will be run over by a car when I cross the road and will have all the bones in my body be shattered. If I was to live through that, the hospital that I will be sent to will happen to run out of anesthesia, so I will be in pain the whole time. Then the doctor will whisper into my ear how he accidentally snapped the needle he used to draw my blood with, leaving the needle in my arms. And how he forgot to use a clean needle, injected me with the same needle that was used on an infectious patient before…”

    Wow so cruel to himself. He even said my deepest fear of needles, “the doctor saying the needle broke inside me while collecting blood”
