Yu Qinghuan thought it must be urgent for Ren Jian to call him this late, so he quickly answered, “Hello?”
“Where are you?” Ren Jian asked.
“In front of the hospital.”
“All right, stay there and do not move.”
After that, Ren Jian ended the call.
Having been hung up on, Yu Qinghuan stood in daze and confusion.
However, within three minutes, a car skidded slowly from a distance and finally stopped in front of Yu Qinghuan.
The car window slid down, and Ren Jian, who sat in the driver’s seat, said to Yu Qinghuan, “Get in the car.”
Yu Qinghuan was speechless. He pulled the door open, sat in the passenger seat and asked while fastening his seat belt, “Why are you here?”
Ren Jian said, “I was supposed to train with my teammates tonight, but one of them had something come up, so our training was postponed for an hour or so. I had nothing to do, so I came out for a ride. I noticed how late the time was, thinking you were about done with your training, I took a detour to your gaming house. When I saw that the upstairs was dark, I decided to take a stroll around the hospital and happened to be on the way.”
Yu Qinghuan felt an inexplicable warmth, like the warm sun at noon in winter, which helped him relax. He leaned back slightly on the passenger seat. “Thank you.”
Ren Jian glanced at Yu Qinghuan and asked, “Is your training usually from morning to evening?”
Yu Qinghuan nodded. “Yes, there are students on our team, so we cannot train too late. We start training in the morning.”
“You still need to free up some time to visit your dad every day?”
“Yes.”
Ren Jian offered off-handedly, “Then I will lend you my car, it will save you some time going back and forth.”
Yu Qinghuan sat up straighter from his shock and turned the offer down, “No, it’s fine. I cannot afford to pay for something like a small scratch.”
“What are you afraid of? I have car insurance. Scratches are only scratches, just take it to the shop for a fix.”

“No, no, it is fine. I do not want to give you any more trouble.”

Yu Qinghuan’s thoughts went wild.
Dad! You told me to sincerely repay him!
Please tell me how the fuck can I repay him!
How can there be such a good person in this fucking world!
Why am I fucking broke! Would I even be in this fucking situation if I have the money? If I had the money, I would smack him with a hundred thousand dollars fucking right now!
On a second thought, Yu Qinghuan remembered what kind of signing bonuses Ren Jian was getting, so a hundred thousand dollars was probably nothing to him. Yu Qinghuan swallowed back his poverty tears.
Oh right.
He suddenly remembered that when they started living together, Ren Jian mentioned he did not like doing house chores.
Yu Qinghuan immediately rolled up his sleeves to clean the house, but he found he could not locate the mop.
When Ren Jian came out of his study to get a drink, he saw Yu Qinghuan in search of something, and could not hold back asking, “What are you looking for so late in the evening, souls? Don’t you have to get up early tomorrow? Why don’t you head to bed?”
“I just…I wanted to tidy the house a bit.” Yu Qinghuan said between his gasping.
“Where? I will get a cleaner to take care of it tomorrow, just go to sleep.” Ren Jian said.
“Huh? No it is fine, you do not need to get a cleaner. I can do it. Where is the mop? I will mop the floor.” Yu Qinghuan was ready to get to work.
Ren Jian looked dumbfounded. “Instead of sleeping this late at night, you want to mop the floor? Are you holding some strange ceremony?”
Yu Qinghuan was speechless. He could not just say that his pathetic self-esteem was taking a critical hit, could he?
“All right, just go to bed, and keep the door closed. I do not want to disturb you.” Ren Jian said.
“Is your training usually this late?” Yu Qinghuan asked.
Ren Jian replied, “Yes, we are used to this kind of routine, hard to fix it. Good night.”
“Okay…good night…” Yu Qinghuan only had housework in mind. On second thought, it was indeed very strange to do them so late at night, so he reluctantly called in for the night.
–
The next morning, Yu Qinghuan was woken up by his alarm clock. He tiptoed out of the room, and sure enough, Ren Jian’s door was closed.
Yu Qinghuan knew morning was Ren Jian’s sleep time, so all his movements were as gentle as he could be. Anytime he accidentally made the slightest noise, he wished he could slap himself right there and then.
After leaving the house quietly, he went for a half an hour jog, bought breakfast and put it gently on the dining table. He left a note for Ren Jian to remember to eat when hungry, before heading to the gaming house.
Today’s high-intensity training was without incident under Luo Buyu’s watchful eyes.
Once it was finally lunch break at noon, Yu Qinghuan played a replay of today’s match, and as he was about to resume playing, his phone suddenly went off.
It was from Mama Ren.
Yu Qinghuan froze for three seconds before answering the phone. “Hello, Ms. Ren?”
Mama Ren’s joyful voice came from his phone, “Qinghuan, have you eaten yet?”
“Not yet, waiting for the takeout to arrive.”
“Dear me, takeout? Qinghuan, you need to eat less of those. The oil they used outside is not good.”
“I will.” Yu Qinghuan replied like a good child.
“Qinghuan, are you living with Ren Jian now?”
Yu Qinghuan was caught off guard.
How did Mama Ren learn of this so fast?
“Yes, I am.”
Actually, Mama Ren was just guessing blindly. She was also surprised when she heard Yu Qinghuan’s response.
Ren Jian that brat, and he was telling her how their relationship was not progressing very fast. Was living together not labeled as making progress?!
“Oh, I see. By the way, Qinghuan, I want to ask you something, are you free this Saturday evening? We would like to invite you for dinner.”
“Di-dinner? Invite me for dinner?” Yu Qinghuan was dumbfounded.
Why so sudden?
“That is right, spend time with us for dinner. It will not take up too much of our time, please, Qinghuan?” Mama Ren was actually acting coquettishly.
“O-okay.” Since Mama Ren already like that, no way Yu Qinghuan could turn it down.
“All right, then it is decided. I will have Ren Jian come and pick you up. I will go tell him right now.” Mama Ren’s voice was cheerful.
After the call ended, Yu Qinghuan stared at his phone, contemplating his life.
Could Mama Ren no longer stand watching him freeloading at Ren Jian’s house any longer and decided to take matters into her own hands, wanting a serious discussion about the profound problem of how shameless he was being?
On the other hand, Ren Jian just woke up from his sleep and received a call from his mother.
Mama Ren knew well about her son’s life as an ‘internet addict’, so she was too lazy to have a proper conversation with him and just went straight to the point, “I scheduled a time with Qinghuan, dinner on Saturday night. Your job is to take him with you to the restaurant.”
Ren Jian, who was half asleep, immediately came out of his daze, “Come again!?”
“Saturday night, with Qinghuan, eat dinner, all together.” Mama Ren ruthlessly threw out eight words before ending the call.
Ren Jian gawked, pinching himself and muttering, “I am dreaming, I must still be dreaming. Holy shit that hurts, fucking hell that was not a dream!!!”
–
That night, when Yu Qinghuan finished his training, he went to visit his father at the hospital, and then went back to Ren Jian’s place. When he pushed the door and entered, he saw Ren Jian sitting on the sofa with his arms crossed, looking very gloomy.
Ren Jian seemed to be waiting for Yu Qinghuan for a long time. He raised his head, pointed to the chair opposite him, and said, “Sit, I want to talk to you.”
