Yu Qinghuan felt a sudden thud in his heart. He gulped uneasily and sat down carefully on the chair opposite of Ren Jian, waiting to hear his sentence.
Ren Jian seemed to be formatting his words as well. Seeing the other man taking a deep breath, ready to let loose of what had been on his mind, this was when Yu Qinghuan suddenly interrupted him.
Yu Qinghuan said, “Let me pay you rent!!!”
Ren Jian uttered, “…Huh???”
Yu Qinghuan was reluctant to leave.
He had been shouldering everything brought to him by his broken family alone since his senior high school. Although it was hard at times, Yu Qinghuan never felt bitter. But since he started living with Ren Jian, he felt the warmth that had been absent from his life. A tiny thread that was hard to part with.
Therefore, Yu Qinghuan wanted to fight to keep it.
Ren Jian was confused. “Why are we talking about rent? I never mentioned this with you, so why do you keep bringing it up?”
Yu Qinghuan said sheepishly, “Your mother suddenly invited me to dinner today, is it not to warn me not to freeload off of you?”
Ren Jian: “…”
It suddenly occurred to Ren Jian that he might be able to keep Yu Qinghuan in the dark with this questionable comprehending capability of his…
“Then you are wrong about my mother. She is not that stingy.” Ren Jian said.
I mean she did offer you my payroll card, in case you have forgotten!
After some thoughts, he continued, “Don’t worry about it. My mother is very friendly and always invites my friends for dinner.”
Yu Qinghuan sighed, “You mother is so nice!”
“But my mother might talk to you about…um…esports things.”Ren Jian added.
“Esports?” Yu Qinghuan was confused.
“That is right. I did take the path of a professional esports player because of you. This I have mentioned to my mother at the beginning, so she may regard you as the object of my admiration.” While thinking, Ren Jian concluded, “Anyway, you can talk more about esports with her.”
“Okay, I will.”

Although Yu Qinghuan agreed to it verbally, he was still distracted the day of the dinner from being so nervous.
Luo Buyu had always been attentive, quickly picking up that Yu Qinghuan was not in the right state of mind. He called him to the corridor and asked, “Qinghuan, did something happen? Why do I get the feeling that your mind is not on the training today.”
“Ah…” Yu Qinghuan said, “Luo-ge, I am sorry.”

Luo Buyu: “…”
It is because I am trying to hint you on something!!!
“Luo-ge, I will need to take a leave of absence tonight, but I will come back after dinner.”
“That is fine, a major turning point of lifelong import is important.”
“? A major turning point of lifelong import?”
Luo Buyu changed the topic, “Hahaha, nothing, it was nothing.”
Luo Buyu, concealed his talent and fame.

That same evening, Yu Qinghuan received a call from Ren Jian. “I am waiting for you downstairs.”
Yu Qinghuan ended the call, informed his teammates and hurried out.
Yi Feiang craned his neck to watch Yu Qinghuan leave. He turned to Luo Buyu and said, “Luo-ge, Luo-ge, I want to take a break too.”
Luo Buyu replied without looking up. “Go away, you need to get more points.”
Yi Feiang asked, “Where is Yu-ge going?”
Luo Buyu replied, “To meet his partner’s parents.”
Yi Feiang got it. “Oh, oh. A major event in life. It cannot be delayed.”
Luo Buyu confirmed, “Correct.”

As soon as Yu Qinghuan came downstairs, he saw Ren Jian’s car parked by the road. He opened the passenger door and got in. “Sorry for the wait.”
“I did not wait long.” Ren Jian started his car and drove steadily.
“Where are we going?” Yu Qinghuan was still a bit nervous, making his whole body stiff.
Ren Jian replied, “Villa le Bec.”
Yu Qinghuan looked confused and repeated, “Will it Baike?”
Ren Jian chuckled and explained, “It is a French restaurant. They serve French delicacies, but the restaurant we are going to is a garden style tavern, very welcoming. I supposed it was my mother who selected the restaurant.”
Yu Qinghuan was taken aback and said, looking very flustered, “What? French cuisine? I do not know how to dine French cuisine. Is it still too late for me to fake a stomach ache?”
Ren Jian soothed, “It will be fine. You just look at the knives and forks on the table, and use whichever looks the most pleasing to your eyes, or pick the closest. It is fine as long as you can stuff your food into your mouth.”
Yu Qinghuan pressed his hands on his stomach, as if ready to show his superb acting skills at any time. “What if I get too nervous and cannot even get food into my mouth with my trembling hands?”
Ren Jian answered, “Don’t fret, I will feed you.”
Yu Qinghuan uttered, “…It looks like your mother and father’s heart and blood pressure are very healthy.”
Ren Jian followed, “As normal as they could be.”
Yu Qinghuan relaxed slightly after their jest.
Once they were close to their destination, Ren Jian thought of something and said to Yu Qinghuan, “You have seen my mother, so I will not say much about her. My father is more on the serious side, not one to smile. If you do not think you can find a common topic to chat with him, just direct them to my mother. If you also do not know what to talk about with her, just praise her.”
As soon as Yu Qinghuan heard that Papa Ren was a serious man, he swallowed nervously . “Praise her?”
Ren Jian nodded. “Yes, praise how young she looks, her beautiful necklace, how her jewelry really matches her clothes.”
“Okay, I will remember that.” Yu Qinghuan said in dead serious,
When Ren Jian and Yu Qinghuan arrived at the restaurant, they found that Papa Ren and Mama Ren had been waiting. Both of them were dressed formally and appropriately, Mama Ren even put on full-on makeup. Yu Qinghuan looked down at his comfy hoodie and sneakers, wishing he could stage having a painful cramp on the spot.
Seeing Yu Qinghuan’s guarded expression, Ren Jian patted him on the shoulders and pushed him to his seat. “Don’t get so worked up, I am dressed very casually as well.”
Yu Qinghuan nodded, walked over awkwardly, sat down opposite of Papa and Mama Ren, and began to be a nervous chatterbox, “Mr. and Ms. Ren, hello. I am Ren Jian’s friend, Yu Qinghuan. Qinghuan from a small dose of happiness is the best flavor of life, a poem by the Song Dynasty poet, Su Shi, the poem goes drizzle and slanting breeze in this touch of frost…”
Yu Qinghuan began to recite the poem!!!
Ren Jian was completely dumbfounded.
He knew that Yu Qinghuan rambled off when nervous, but he did not know the other man’s brain circuit would trip when it went beyond normal nervousness.
He hurriedly stroked Yu Qinghuan’s back gently.
Yu Qinghuan shut his mouth in time.
Papa Ren was indeed as serious as Ren Jian described as he nodded slightly, face remained solemn, and said like he cherished each word like gold, “Hello.”
While Mama Ren was very happy. Her smile was as lovely as a flower blooming in peak season. “Qinghuan is so cute.”
Yu Qinghuan thought of what Ren Jian said and hurriedly complimented, “Your jewelry really matches your outfit today!”
Mama Ren said, “Oh? Really? Which piece of jewelry?”
Yu Qinghuan: “…”
What! He needed to give a specific piece of jewelry?!
Yu Qinghuan uttered, “The…your…”
Ren Jian: “…”
The heck! This man could not even distinguish different jewelry?!
Yu Qinghuan suddenly remembered what Ren Jian instructed him.
Praise her look! Praise her necklace! Praise her jewelry matches her clothes!
Yu Qinghuan blurted, “Your necklace! Your necklace is really beautiful!”
Now it was Ren Jian’s turn to be flustered as he gave himself a facepalm.
Mama Ren uttered, “…Qinghuan.”
Yu Qinghuan replied, “Yes, Ms. Ren.”
Mama Ren pointed out, “I am not wearing a necklace today.”
Yu Qinghuan: “…”
His stomach was really starting to hurt now.
Translator has something to add:
Teo: Next chapter is where VIP starts, that means readers will need to join CG’s discord to get the password.
Updates are also going to halt for the rest of the month. I am not taking a break, I am just going over the past chapters again, rewriting some parts/ translator’s notes, updating chapter 0, and correcting certain terms for consistency—remember, this is a project with me, myself, and I. Any major changes will be noted under ‘Translation Update’ next chapter. Chapter 31 will be released on 11/30/22.
