Ren Jian was easy going at ordinary times. It was rare for him to get this unpleasant feeling inside. As a result, the gloomy feeling that was driven away by last night’s training came back with a vengeance, rampaging in his chest. He said to Yu Qinghuan with a straight face, “Then I will leave now if there is nothing else.”
Yu Qinghuan hurriedly went after him. “Great god, wait. Did you drive here? I am coming back with you, so take me with you.”
Ren Jian stopped his steps abruptly, almost making Yu Qinghuan bump into him.
He turned, met Yu Qinghuan’s eyes and asked, “You are coming back with me?”
“That is right.” Yu Qinghuan said, “Is my clothes still not at your place? I have to go and get them.”
Luo Buyu, who was right there: “…”
Why are your clothes left in his house?!
“Oh…” Ren Jian forgot about this. “Yes, I drove here. You can come back with me.”
“Great god, can you wait for me? I need to say goodbye to my teammates.” Once Yu Qinghuan got Ren Jian’s positive answer, he trotted back to the gaming house. First he told Qi Huai and Liu Manman that he had something he needed to do, and would be back later. The two were excitedly holding Ren Jian’s autograph still, upon hearing that Yu Qinghuan needed to leave, they rushed to ask Yu Qinghuan about his relationship with Ren Jian, and whether they have the opportunity to get a photo with Ren Jian.
Yu Qinghuan said he would ask later. After calming the two teenagers who nearly lost their minds over the excitement, he went to find Luo Buyu.
Since Luo Buyu was captain, he should at least send Ren Jian off, even if the other man was just dropping by. So he was standing outside, where Yu Qinghuan ran to. “Luo-ge, I have something to ask of you.”
Yu Qinghuan talked so loudly that even Ren Jian, who was standing at the foot of the stairs, could hear. He quietly walked towards them without showing a hint of emotion.
Luo Buyu said, “No need to ask. If I can help out a friend, I will.”
Yu Qinghuan smiled sheepishly. “Luo-ge, although I saved some money from my last job, my dad is still in the hospital. That is the majority of my expenses, so I want to stop renting. Can I stay with you for a while?”
Ren Jian: “…”
Luo Buyu accepted, “Of course, do you mind sleeping in the living room?”
Yu Qinghuan waved his hands. “Of course not.”

Luo Buyu said, “Good, when do you plan to move in? Let me know and I will come help you.”
“Oeb-uf, atjcx sbe rb wemt, sbe jgf ws rjnbg!” Te Hlcutejc gfjmtfv bea jcv uba j ajmla tlut olnf ogbw Oeb Dese.

Yu Qinghuan kept up in embarrassment, internally scolding himself for keeping the other man waiting so long.
–
During their silent drive, Yu Qinghuan sat in the passenger seat.
Ren Jian sneered inside. Were you not just having a lively chat with your Luo-ge just now? Cat got your tongue now that you are with me?
Yu Qinghuan lowered his head and held his breath. Do not make any noise or bring up nonsense. It will only annoy him. Keep quiet, keep quiet.
This was how the two of them harbor negative thoughts, arriving to Ren Jian’s house in an eerie atmosphere. Yu Qinghuan checked on Ren Jian’s expression, which was increasingly more reserved, so he froze at the doorway, not daring to move an inch or make a sound.
Ren Jian left the car key on the tea table in the living room and poured himself a glass of water. After finished drinking, he noticed that Yu Qinghuan was still standing at the doorway, so he said, “Come in and get them yourself.”
“Okay, I am coming in.” Yu Qinghuan walked into the room in awkward movements, then froze in the living room once more. “Wh-where are they?”
“The guest room on your left.” Ren Jian said.
Yu Qinghuan entered the room with the same awkward movements. He saw the neatly folded clothes on the bed and went to grab them. Then he suddenly heard the door closing behind him, which he turned from the sound, looking confused.
Ren Jian walked in without him noticing, and even closed the door.
Ren Jian walked slowly to Yu Qinghuan’s side, pointed to the bed and ordered, “Try lying on it.”
Yu Qinghuan: “…”
He suspected that his ears were malfunctioning. “What was that?”
Ren Jian said, “My mother is very picky about the furniture she buys. Even for rooms like the guest room, which is normally not occupied, she would want something that can appeal to her. So this bed is framed with red wood, maybe Burma Padauk, I am not too sure. But the bed sets are all made out of silk.”
Yu Qinghuan did not know why Ren Jian was suddenly introducing his own bedding. Although his head was filled with nothing but question marks, he still praised, “Very awesome.”
Ren Jian insisted, “Go try it.”
Yu Qinghuan was very cooperative. He sat on the bed, rested on his back on the bed with his feet on the ground, and layed spread-eagled with his arms.
Ren Jian asked, “What does it feel like?”
Yu Qinghuan replied honestly, “It feels like sleeping on money.”
“…You can live here.”
Yu Qinghuan suddenly sat up and thought that his ears were really malfunctioning. “Huh?”
Ren Jian’s face darkened. “Would you rather sleep on the living room sofa than here?”
No, buddy, that is not it. I just do not understand the logic of your words.
“No…” Yu Qinghuan could not grasp the key point of Ren Jian’s statement for a long time, and simply stated his concerns, “I am in a tight spot right now and cannot afford to pay rent.”
Ren Jian paused and said, “That is okay, I will not charge you rent, and you do not need to feel bad, I…”
Come on, think of a lie.
“I do not like doing housework, you can tidy the house up when you are free.”
Yu Qinghuan was stunned for a good three seconds, before he leaped out from the bed, almost crashing into Ren Jian. “Really?!”
Ren Jian rubbed the back of his neck uneasily and nodded.
“Ren-ge, you are too kind. You are officially my brother from another mother.” Yu Qinghuan’s eyes lit up. “I will make sure to put my all into cleaning to ensure that you will not see a single speck of dust! I will be your fanboy from now on. I will create an army of alt accounts, I will hate whoever smears your name, and befriend whoever praises you! I will be the embodiment of cheerleading megaphones when you compete, waving your flag and cheering you loudly, which I will not rest until the opponent is deaf.”
Ren Jian: “…”
From what I can see, you are already the embodiment of cheerleading megaphones, you are just going to turn me deaf before my opponents.
Cough. Yu Qinghuan also noticed that he had lost his composure. He covered his lips and coughed softly. “Sorry…It is just, I tend to rumble off when I get happy.”
“Nothing wrong.” Ren Jian said, “I like listening.”
Yu Qinghuan was baffled at first, before he laughed.
This simple and pure, open moment, like the beauty of the rivers and mountains, like the brightness of the stars and moon, caused you to be in my heart instead of my eyes.
After a moment of daze, Ren Jian came back to his senses and said, “There is no need for you to get help moving, I will help you move.”
Yu Qinghuan: “???!!!”
After expressing his gratitude incoherently for a while, Yu Qinghuan said very seriously once he finally calmed down, “If there is anything that I can do to help you in the future, as long as it is not murder, arson, or steal, I will do it as if my life is on the line!”
Ren Jian looked at Yu Qinghuan and abruptly brought up, “Do you have a girlfriend?”
Yu Qinghuan was caught off guard by the question. Although he did not know why the other asked this out of the blue, he still answered, “Nope.”
“Have you ever been with a girl before?”
Yu Qinghuan scratched his head in embarrassment. “I had a relationship in senior high school, but after what happened with my family, I had to take a break from school because of that, which led us to break up. When I started college, I was very into competitive gaming, so I did not put much thought into that.”
“Hmm.” Ren Jian lowered his gaze and nodded slowly. “Then…wh-what are your thoughts on…?”
“What?” Yu Qinghuan did not clear Ren Jian clearly from how soft the other man’s voice was.
“Nothing.” Ren Jian suddenly looked away and walked out of the room, leaving the confused Yu Qinghuan alone in the room.
