After thinking through everything that he could’ve taken into account, Ji Zhiyao placed his bowl and chopsticks down, assuming a serious attitude as he said, “Dad, Mum, I would like to tell both of you something.”

His parents were evidently very surprised and nodded as an indication for him to go on. Ji Qingge was also rather astonished, as she glanced at her parent’s expression, a slight trace of worry found its way into her eyes.

“Um, I’m coming out. Out of the closet.”

The air in the dining room seemed to freeze over.

His mother’s mouth was gaping as she forgot herself, his father’s emotions weren’t any better off, his face had turned pale… Ji Qingge felt that a disaster was imminent the moment she caught their expressions, she glanced at the bowl in her hand, an idea came to mind, hardening her heart, she threw her bowl to the ground with a smash.

Ji Zhiyao was also dumbfounded and looked towards Ji Qingge.

Ji Qingge stood up, the rim of her eyes red as she exploded, “Ji Zhiyao, I’ve always admired you ever since we were young, I did not expect you to turn out to be a pervert, you really disgusts me! I’m telling you, I will never accept a brother like you, you’re not fit to be my brother, I will announce this to the world and let them see what a bastard this person who has clinched a championship is! Let me tell you, you’re virtually intolerable in this universe, I will go online to spread the news right now, just you wait! I will make it that you will never be able to leave the house for your entire life! You’re so disgusting, I will never admit that you are my brother! Let me strangle you to death, then go strangle that adulterous man who seduced you!”

She wailed as she ranted, repeatedly pushing the edge of a breakdown and even reached her hands out to choke Ji Zhiyao’s neck. She used force, Ji Zhiyao was in a daze and could not dodge in time, and started to gasp from her hold.

Ji Qingge’s outburst stunned both of their parents who had yet to digest the previous piece of information. His father slapped his hand on the table. “Qingge, let go of your brother right now!”

“I won’t! He likes men, how could he still bring himself to face people, I should just strangle him to death!”

“Ridiculous!”

Their mother quickly stood up and separated Ji Zhiyao and Ji Qingge. Looking at her son’s neck that was red from the strangle, she chastised with a pained heart, “Qingge, do you still have a conscience? Your brother has always been so good to you, how could you bring yourself to strangle him? Even… Even if he likes… Everybody’s orientation is different, you can’t force this. Why would you think that he ought to be too ashamed to live on because he likes men?”

“I don’t care! He-”

Their father cut her off. “Ji Qingge, shut your mouth!”

Ji Qingge reluctantly kept quiet.

“Go upstairs and reflect properly, was all the education that you received all these years for nothing?”

Ji Qingge appeared to be very indignant. “What has it got to do with me, there’s nothing for me to reflect on.”

“Upstairs now!”

Ji Qingge stomped her foot and headed up the stairs as if she was in a fit of pique.

Before walking out of the dining room, she winked at Ji Zhiyao.

What the f*ck!

What a god-like sister was this?

Virtually the MVP of the year!

With one look at Ji Qingge’s meaningful glance, Ji Zhiyao who had previously thought that she was suffering from intermittent madness finally understood what was going on and continued to act with the situation. He covered his face with his hands. “Dad, Mum, I think what Qingge said was right… I…”

His mother promptly put an arm around his shoulder. “Alright, don’t say such words anymore. Although dad and mum are not supportive, we both understand you, Qingge is still young, don’t take her words to heart.”

Ji Zhiyao continued to cover his face in extreme sadness, working hard to appear like he was sobbing… then he heard his father’s voice. “Your mum is right. You are a man, don’t be wishy-washy, since… Alright, I want to have a few words with your mum, you can head upstairs first.”

Ji Zhiyao kept silent for a moment, murmuring an “mm” after a long time as he revealed a completely flushed face and went upstairs.

Entered his room, shut the door.

Ji Zhiyao threw himself onto the bed in a few steps and started to laugh soundlessly.

How could his little sister be so quick-witted!

Although she had used quite a bit of force when she was strangling him, slightly showing the implication of taking revenge for something personal in the name of his interests, yet compared to the objective that they had achieved, it was absolutely nothing!

Ji Zhiyao quickly pulled out his phone from his pocket.

[fairlycomplicatedlittlelovesong: Ji Zhiyao, why aren’t you coming over to bow your thanks for my graces. For your sake I actually suffered a scolding from our dad, I reckon in our parents’ eyes, I would be keeping the label of having a “dark mentality” 🙂 I just want to know what you thought of my acting?]

[MelonRind: You’re a goddess!]

[MelonRind: Your acting is amazing! You’re definitely the Post-doc who has graduated from the Central Drama-queen Academy! If you want to major in performance acting in the future, your brother will pay your school fees!]

[MelonRind: Feel free to mention any requests you have. I’ll give you a card tomorrow, spend as you like!]

[fairlycomplicatedlittlelovesong: In this case, I’m not suffering a loss either.]

[fairlycomplicatedlittlelovesong: Seeing how sincere you are, I’ll give you a buy-one-get-one-free package service. I just sent Fi-god a text earlier with a simple explanation of your current situation, I foresee that he will text you very soon, remember to check and accept your text.]

[fairlycomplicatedlittlelovesong: Would you call me your older sister in the future? I went to so much trouble for you.]

Ji Zhiyao replied happily: [No, get lost.]

[fairlycomplicatedlittlelovesong: ….]

Ji Zhiyao promptly returned to the interface on his WeChat app where all this chats were displayed and found that Mo Huaifeng had indeed sent him a text. It was from a minute ago, the content was [Does it hurt? Can you walk? I’ll go fetch you now and send you to the hospital?]

He pondered for a while, Ji Qingge had probably told an embellished story of him getting his legs broken by his parents to his Captain… Hence he replied, [It’s okay, they aren’t broken.]

[DB.MHF: Not broken?]

[DB.MHF: Didn’t you have your butt clamped by a door?]

“Damn it! Ji Qingge you rascal!”

Putting aside how Ji Qingge’s words obviously meant that she had already exposed his glorious deed of coming out to Captain… Just about this nonsensical reason, how did she even come up with it?

His butt clamped by the door? How?

[DB.MHF: What exactly happened?]

Once Mo Huaifeng questioned him like this, Ji Zhiyao became a little too embarrassed to be direct. He kept it in for a while, then typed: [Nothing Captain, weren’t you ignoring me? It’s the New Year, I’ve got to somehow find a reason to initiate conversation, to express my longing for you.]

Mo Huaifeng did not reply to him for a long time.

Ji Zhiyao was just wondering if Mo Huaifeng did not really like what he had just confessed when he saw that a red packet had appeared on the screen. He acted quickly and snatched it before he realized that a line of words followed under it, “whoever snatches it is at the bottom”.

[DB.MHF: Screenshotted and saved. I’ll bring it out and show it to you often in the future.]

[MelonRind: Does it f*cking work this way too! This is considered flouting the rules!]

[DB.MHF: But you’ve already collected it.]

[MelonRind: F*ck I’ll send you an even bigger one, will that do?! This one is not counted, not counted!]

[DB.MHF: But you’ve already collected it.]

[MelonRind: … Daddy! I’m kowtowing to you!]

[DB.MHF: Mm.]

[DB.MHFL But still you’ve already collected it.]

[MelonRind: …]

Ji Zhiyao clenched his teeth as he held onto his phone, as if this way his Captain would be able to receive his fury buff through the screen.

Yet on the other end, Mo Huaifeng was looking at the screen of his phone.

[fairlycomplicatedlittlelovesong: … If it wasn’t for my sudden inspiration, he definitely wouldn’t be able to see tomorrow’s sun. My brother has gone all out, Fi-god, you’ve got to step up too, please don’t disappoint my brother.]

[fairlycomplicatedlittlelovesong: I suggest that you still pretend you don’t know anything. For my brother’s personality, though he does not say it, but if he is good to someone and that person remembers it, he will feel very awkward, aka extremely tsundere person.]

[fairlycomplicatedlittlelovesong: When it comes to that I’ll be doomed. Fi-god please don’t do me in.]

[DB.MHF: Don’t worry, I won’t say anything.]

[DB.MHF: Thank you, really.]

[DB.MHF: If there’s anything you want, or need help with, feel free to let me know.]

[fairlycomplicatedlittlelovesong: Psh, it’s okay, don’t mention it. If there’s any trouble, I still got my brother.]

[fairlycomplicatedlittlelovesong: I’m going to play my game, I’ll leave you to chat with my brother.]

Mo Huaifeng replied an “mm”, then returned to his chat with Ji Zhiyao again.

[MelonRind: Mo Huaifeng you mutt! Damn it I will never admit this!]

Tsk.

The corner of Mo Huaifeng’s lips lifted involuntarily.

The New Year celebrations ended.

Ji Zhiyao first sent Ji Qingge to school, then formally handled his procedures for his temporary leave from school, packed his luggages and took the public bus to return to the base.

His parents did not mention the problem of his orientation the entire time, only vaguely hinted to him to think it through. Ji Zhiyao reckoned that it wouldn’t be a problem for them to accept it in the days to come. Hence he was completely at ease.

The ride on the public bus took several hours, midway, because there were too many people and no seats, Ji Zhiyao specially gave his seat to an old granny who was taking the bus to the shopping center, while he stood for more than an hour himself.

Once he alighted, he rotated his neck while dragging his suitcase, only feeling a backache, no one part of his body felt comfortable.

Perhaps he’d been staying up too much recently, he ought to pay attention to preserving his health.

Ji Zhiyao silently promised himself, then pushed open the front door of the base.

He changed his shoes and saw Nuo and K seated on the floor of the living room once he turned past the corner, holding onto a phone each. The entire house was echoing with the sound of their game effects.

“Pair of diamonds!”

“No thanks!”

Shocking, well-known eSports professional players wallowing in Fight the Landlord, is this a distortion of humanity or a decay of morals?

Seeing him enter, both of them waved merrily. “NoHomo you’re here. We’re missing a person for Fight the Landlord, want to play?”

The corner of Ji Zhiyao’s lip twitched. “I’m good. Is it just the two of you at the base? Where are the rest?”

K answered him, “Xiao is at home, he won’t be coming back for now. Xiaofei and Heng are on the way, still on the high speed rail. As for our Captain, he went to the club. Why, did he not tell you?”

Ji Zhiyao removed the scarf around his neck and shook his head. “No. What he is going to the club for?”

“Yuan Wei said our battleteam is about to go overseas for training, he’s afraid that he would be forgotten by the local eSports fan, before we leave we must film several advertisements to leave a lasting impression on the public. Captain seemed to have gone there for the selection of advertisements.”

Ji Zhiyao went dazed. “Advertisements sourced by Yuan Wei, and ‘leave a lasting impression’… I suddenly have an ill premonition, is it anti-hair loss again?”

“No, he wouldn’t dare. After all our Captain already said, if he sees those three words again, he’ll first let Yuan Wei have a taste of what is hair loss.”

He imagined an image of Yuan Wei being bald and could not hold back his chuckles.

Nuo looked at him with a constipated look. “Brother, you’re really very sleazy.”

Ji Zhiyao returned the favor with teasing. “Don’t spout nonsense. Look at your tummy, are you sure you can go on camera when you’re this fat?”

Nuo’s young heart was deeply scarred.

“You guys play on, I’ll go upstairs to unpack.”

With that, he carried his own suitcase and headed upstairs.

His suitcase was mostly filled with folded clothes which made it very convenient to pack away. Ji Zhiyao did not take much time before he was done tidying his closet.

He put his suitcase away and went downstairs with his phone.

The others had yet to return. Ji Zhiyao grabbed a few bags of potato chips from under the tea table in the living room, tore open the packaging, settled on the sofa and ate while watching Tom and Jerry.

When he finished his the third bag of potato chips, the front door of the base was finally pushed open from the outside.

Mo Huaifeng walked in with Yuan Wei.

Ji Zhiyao could not help but grinned widely. “Captain!”

Yuan Wei exclaimed, “Oh dear an unbearable sight!”

What had he done that was unbearable to see, doesn’t his conscience hurt when he says that?

Mo Huaifeng ignored the two idiots who were playing Fight the Landlord on the floor and naturally sat beside Ji Zhiyao, the moment he spoke up, it was, “Does your butt still hurt?”

Ji Zhiyao looked confusedly at him.

Yuan Wei was stunned. “What the f*ck what did I hear?”

K echoed him. “What the f*ck what did I hear?”

Nuo followed. “What the f*ck am I deaf?”

“What the f*ck! I’m not, I did not, don’t spout nonsense!”

Yet the three other people in the room all had on the expression of “I understand I understand you don’t have to explain”, totally not listening to what he was saying… Ji Zhiyao’s attempt to explain was to no avail and looked towards Mo Huaifeng with his face appalled and angered, Mo Huaifeng only returned a very small, teasing smile.

Mo Huaifeng had definitely done so intentionally.

Ji Zhiyao almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Damn it!

He did not want to be the scapegoat for Ji Qingge’s scheme.

Seeing that Ji Zhiyao was on the edge of flying into a rage, while himself and the others had already understood this little “secret” and buried it deep in their hearts, Yuan Wei quickly stepped up to smooth things over. “Alright alright, there are serious matters to let you guys know. Let me tell all of you good news, our battleteam finally has an endorsement deal!”

Nuo who had been laughing till he was rolling on the floor sat up with a roll. “When is it? What product? Are there any requirements for body weight?”

“We’ll be doing it next week. Bluetooth speaker and gaming keyboard. As for the last question, just take a look at yourself, your tummy is showing, are you not going to lose some weight if they have no requirements for your body weight?”

Nuo suffered another critical blow.

Yuan Wei continued, “Not just Nuo, it applies to all of you. It wasn’t easy that Captain humbled himself and agreed to doing the advertisement, if we don’t look good, this will definitely become the final swan song of the has-been noble battleteam Mix.”

Ji Zhiyao appeared anxious and doubtful. “What? Has-been noble battleteam? We’ve just gotten the championship and we’re already becoming has-beens?”

Mo Huaifeng chimed in, “At the least before the international league it would be so. After the international league begins, you will then have the qualification to ‘be mentioned’ and ‘criticized’.”

Actually, he was right. Before the international league began, they will undergo training, going everywhere from Korea to Japan and North America. It was essentially nine months of zero exposure locally, if there were people who still remembered them after that, that would be truly shocking.”

In this case, these two advertisements might really be their most glorious moment.
