How Did You Guys Become Boyfriends While GamingCh14 - Not Afraid of Enigma and Their Schemes

Yu Qinghuan was confused when he saw that Ren Jian suddenly stood up and went to close the door of the room. 

However, it was too late. The person outside went straight to the room when she could not spot traces of Ren Jian, and almost collided with Ren Jian.  NL71JI

It was a woman with delicate makeup, a stunning temperament and appearance. It was hard to tell what her age might be, but her facial features were similar to those of Ren Jian. 

“Why are you here all of a sudden?” Ren Jian blocked the woman’s view and pushed her out of the room.

The woman was slightly angry. “Are you saying I cannot be here? You came home for once and did not visit me and your father. I knew you were going to be hiding up here. I will make your father rent this place out next time. See if you will finally come live at home.”

Ren Jian rebuked helplessly, “But I bought this place…” J3vbCg

“So what? Not going to stop me from renting it out. Enough, stop pushing me out. I see you have someone in your room.” The woman sneered. 

Ren Jian showed a face of despair as he gave up on the struggle and no longer stopped the woman. 

The woman gave Ren Jian a sidelong glance, walked into the room, and moved her gaze onto Yu Qinghuan, looking like wanting to speak but stopped. 

Yu Qinghuan kept feeling like it was improper for him to be sitting on the bed in pajamas, but he did not know how to change that for a moment. He simply made a bold guess and said bravely, “He-hello, are you Ren Jian’s older sister? My name is Yu Qinghuan. Yu in metaphor, and qinghuan in a small dose of happiness is the best flavor of life. I am Ren Jian’s…Ren Jian’s…”

PIniLe

Ren Jian’s what?! He also did not know what kind of relationship he has with Ren Jian!

A bedmate who slept together with Ren Jian in a love suite?!

“Older sister?” The woman was obviously stunned. 

“D-did I guess incorrectly?” Yu Qinghuan was at a loss.  QXHcME

However, the woman covered her lips and chuckled softly. 

Ren Jian’s mental state was close to demise. He put his hand over his face and introduced her to Yu Qinghuan, “This is my mother…”

Mama Ren nodded. “Hello, Qinghuan. I am Ren Jian’s mother.”

“Ah, sorry Ms. Ren. I was…drunk last night, so…” Yu Qinghuan was in a hurry to get out of bed.  7CrzT8

Ren Jian replied, “No one, just a friend.”

Mama Ren huffed, “Who are you trying to fool? You let a friend wear your pajamas? Is that not one of your favorite sets? Besides, you have slight mysophobia. How can you stomach lending your pajamas to a normal friend?”

This was when Ren Jian also wondered. That is right, I do have mysophobia? But when he helped Yu Qinghuan change into his pajamas last night, he did not seem to think much about it at all. 

Mama Ren asked, “Tell me the truth, what is the relationship between that child and you?” xDEFyG

Ren Jian insisted, “He is really just a friend. What is wrong with lending him my pajamas? He is a guy, I am a guy, why all the questions…”

“But your sexual preference is towards boys.” Mama Ren interrupted him. 

Ren Jian quietly put his hand over his face: “…”

Ren Jian came out of the closet in senior high school. Actually, rather than saying that he came out of the closet, he was forced out of the closet. In addition, he had gone through many things during that period, which directly led to his father and mother’s inability to calm down and process Ren Jian’s sexual orientation. But in retrospect, it was a short chaos before things slowly calmed down.  pfKb1O

It was like every difficult moment in life. 

Now, because of Ren Jian’s disorder, Mama Ran had directly jumped from ‘why do you like boys’ period to ‘could you please go find yourself a partner already, I do not care if they are boys or girls, heck, even a dog would do’. 

“I think that boy is quite nice.” Mama Ren suddenly complimented. 

Ren Jian was helpless. “Mother, you only met him once, and not even ten sentences worth of conversation.” SfCaAO

Mama Ren cupped her face. “Dear me, he has a very sweet mouth, he even called me older sister.”

Ren Jian cupped his fists. “Your Majesty, your bottom line is way too low.”

Mama Ren reached out her grabby claws and squeezed Ren Jian’s arm. “Say! Did you find yourself a partner?”

“Yes, yes, whatever you said.” Seeing that his mother was hearing his explanation in her ear and out the other, Ren Jian simply gave a positive reply in a rushed manner, thinking he would make up a reason for their break up, something like not being suitable for each other. This way, the lie would not be full of holes like swiss cheese. dPTRwK

Hearing Ren Jian’s affirmative reply, Mama Ren was first stunned, before her eyes turned red. 

“Uh-oh, your Majesty, what’s wrong?” Ren Jian hurriedly got the tissue box and smoothed her in a low voice. 

Mama Ren knew that she had lost her composure, so she quickly drew a few tissues to wipe her eyes and pursed her lips. “Hmph, you finally found a partner after so many years. It was…it was my fault for not caring for you enough from the start…”

“No, no, it was because of how rebellious I was.” Ren Jian said with a smile, “Don’t cry, your Majesty. If you cry your eyes swollen, and father sees it, he will come and rack me up with his Nine-Toothed Rake.”

When Mama Ren wiped away her tears, she suddenly remembered something and asked, “Is your disorder treated?”

Ren Jian was stunned and said, “Not yet.”

“Then he…” Mama Ren hesitated.  O1RFcT

“Hugging is fine, just like you guys.” Ren Jian continued to lie. 

He would not have an adverse reaction to physical contact with his family. It was fine for him to hug them. 

“Oh, so that is how it is.” Mama Ren nodded and walked out excitedly. “I am going to talk to the kid.”

“Wait!” Ren Jian stopped his mother. “Mother, do not scare him!”  Zw5zNd

Actually, he was more worried about his mother’s slip of the tongue. If Yu Qinghuan was to know about his orientation, even if he had not done anything, they still stayed in the love suite together as well as him changing the other person’s clothes. What if Yu Qinghuan felt revolted by this?

However, Mama Ren insisted, “How can I scare him off? I am just going to have a pleasant chat with him!”

Left with no choice, Ren Jian decided to let heaven decide his fate, facing his doom with a bitter expression. 

When Yu Qinghuan heard that Mama Ren wanted to chat with him, he was even more nervous than Ren Jian. Being stiff as a clear octahedral diamond, he asked, “Wh-what d-does Ms. Ren w-want to c-chat with me a-about?” PeS38s

“I al-also do n-not know.” Ren Jian smiled and imitated his stutter. 

“Where are my clothes?” After Ren Jian made a fool of himself, Yu Qinghuan felt less nervous.

“I washed them last night, but they are still wet. I will lend you a set.” Ren Jian found a white T-shirt and track pants for Yu Qinghuan. After receiving them, Yu Qinghuan gave him his thanks and efficiently removed his pajamas. 

Cough…” Ren Jian choked for a moment and hurriedly averted his gaze.  SY9OK

“What is wrong?” Yu Qinghuan asked with concern while getting his head through the T-shirt. 

“Nothing.” Ren Jian answered, his eyes drifting wildly. 

Gah! He was not afraid of enigma and their schemes, but he was afraid of the unaware bluntness!

“It is a size too big.” Yu Qinghuan said to himself as he straightened out the loose clothes, and followed Ren Jian out of the room. Mama Ren had been waiting in the living room for a long time. When she saw Yu Qinghuan walking out of the bedroom, she beamed and gestured to the spot beside her. “Come, and sit by Ms. Ren.” TyH53l

Translator's Note

喻 yù in 比喻 bǐ yù, metaphor

Translator's Note

清歡 qīng huān. The exact same word used in the poem passage.

Translator's Note

Yu Qinghuan will introduce himself in this way throughout the story. Qinghuan means the joy of tranquility, and it happened to be in a poem, 《浣溪沙·細雨斜風作曉寒》by 蘇軾.

Translator's Note

The original is ‘aunt’/ ‘auntie’. I have this thing in my translation that I translate family with actual English words, and non-family in pinyin, or translated to anything more appropriate like miss or mister.

Translator's Note

So in Chinese, it is literally mean the lie will be full-circle or whole. It is based on the saying a lie needs ten more lies to patch-up/ hide, and those ten lies will need one hundred more lies to patch-up/ hide. I used swiss cheese as a metaphor because swiss cheese is full of holes.

    • The original is actually “come sit by auntie”, but it doesn’t really work in English because that makes the speaker sounds oooold compare to aunties that is used in Chinese. Most of the time, the older woman wants to be called ‘miss/ ms’ instead of ‘auntie’.

  1. Mama is hereeee 😆💞 Her Majesty is def one to always look forward to reading~~

    And mc can also have a mom with her 🥺

  2. Ohhh, I have the same issue. I have disinfectants all over my house and in my bag. Having (indoor) cats sort of tapered it down a bit though.
