@Titans_Xi: Digging this up to so everyone can judge for themselves // @Titans_Sen: I heard that Noah’s Ark’s Vice Captain praised me in his livestream

The Weibo post that Yao Sen posted after he first orchestrated the whole situation with his side account and Shao Han’s livestream was dug up and reposted just like this by Wang Yuxi, garnering a large-scale online slaughter.

[HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WTF]

[HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Xi ge is 1.8 metres tall today]

[Xi ge, you’ve been uprooted from your seat as the king of drama]

[@Titans_Xi replied: The trophy’s already been passed on to Yao Sen]

[To the uninformed melon-eating masses*, back then, God Sen used his side account Five Elements Lack Wood to publicly ask Shao ge who played better between him and Titans’s Captain, and then Shao ge replied that Titans’s captain played better]

*people who stand and watch internet drama unfold

[Screenshotted, Sen ge don’t delete]

In order to recover his upright image, Yao Sen wasted no time in posting a picture of Miao Miao with a small pigtail tied up using a rubber wristband that happened to be Titans merch on Weibo, with the caption “My son Yao Miao. The day this little rascal pestered me to play with him that led to me being exposed, I confiscated half a day’s worth of dog snacks”.

[aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah such a cute ball of fluff!!!]

[We can actually get our dog fix on Sen ge’s Weibo]

[I thought Sen ge would raise a German shepherd or a Golden retriever or something… Turns out he raised a Pom]

[My bold guess is that the doggie’s five elements are lacking water*?]

*Miao = 淼 (Flood), Shui = 水 (Water)

[I’ve already come up with a name for Sen ge’s grandson: Xin Xin Yan Yan Yao Yao*]

*the five elements are: wood, water, gold, fire, and earth 鑫鑫焱焱垚垚 are just the characters for gold, fire, and earth x3

[The doggie is so cute! The Titans merch can actually be used to tie a pigtail]

[Sen ge, don’t think that we’ll forget about your small account just because you put up cute photos]

[Miao Miao run! Your dad is a shit-stirrer!!!]

[Sen ge, does thou son lack a little girlfriend??]

[@Titans_Sen replied: Miao Miao no longer has balls]

The keyword “Five Elements Lack Wood Yao Sen” stayed on the hot search for a while, and the number of Yao Sen’s fans rose again. His unmasking affair was well received, and regardless of whether or not they followed the e-sports circle, everybody watched the excitement.

Yao Sen didn’t pay too much attention to his rising fancount. At this time, he was at the parking lot with Miao Miao in his arms, sending his mom and dad off.

Mama Yao turned around and petted Miao Miao’s plush little head, then patted her son’s shoulder in passing to wipe off Miao Miao’s fur that had stuck to her hand. She repeatedly reminded him, “Your dad and I aren’t home, but don’t order takeout all the time. Be a little diligent and cook something yourself or go out to eat. Even though you’re not much of a cook, at least you won’t starve to death. Call us if anything happens, okay?”

“Got it.”

“Oh right, when does your friend get here?”

“This afternoon, by high-speed train.”

“Then go pick him up, don’t let him come by himself when he’s not familiar with the place.” Mama Yao said, “If you’re driving there yourself, drive slowly and let us know when you get home. Don’t stay cooped up at home playing games all day when your friends come over, young people should go out more often.”

Yao Sen nodded and said goodbye to his parents.

At four o’clock that afternoon, Yao Sen hunkered down in the KFC opposite the exit of the high-speed railway station, eating fries while chatting with Shao Han. When he saw the words “I’m out”, Yao Sen put down the fries in his hand, picked up the burger he’d had wrapped in advance, and exited the restaurant.

Shao Han was towing a black suitcase at the station’s exit, looking around in search of Yao Sen. Upon spotting Yao Sen heading his way, his heart warmed. Before he even had the chance to call out to him, Yao Sen had already taken him into his arms and pressed a light kiss on his face. Smiling, he said, “Missed you.”

Shao Han ears slightly heated at his kiss. He pushed Yao Sen away a little somewhat reservedly, and only raised his eyes after he looked around.

Yao Sen especially liked how Shao Han looked when he wore a scarf. Most of his face was wrapped under the soft cotton material, and the small part of his face that was visible was fair and pretty. His black eyes that peered up at him rendered him unable to look away.

Shao Han’s voice was still so cool, but it sounded hot in Yao Sen’s ears. “Mm, me too.”

Yao Sen took Shao Han’s suitcase and walked ahead. Shao Han was a little embarrassed, but since Yao Sen was walking quickly, he could only quicken his pace to catch up with him.

Once they arrived home and Yao Sen opened the door, a small white whirlwind immediately bounded down the stairs. It accidentally tripped over the last stair, but since the floor was smooth and Miao Miao was plump, he slid right up to Yao Sen with the thick coat of hair all over his body and stood back up on his short legs.

Though Yao Sen only went out for a few hours, every time Miao Miao welcomed him, it was as if he were a migrant worker who hadn’t come home for the Spring Festival for many years.

“What are you running so fast for? You fell.” Yao Sen crouched down and opened up his arms towards Miao Miao. “C’mere, come to daddy.”

Miao Miao was like a plump little snowball as he leapt into Daddy Yao Sen’s arms, bouncing up and down and pawing at Yao Sen’s shoulder as he panted.

Shao Han also crouched down and reached out to pet Miao Miao’s fluffy, cotton candy-like fur. “So cute.”

Yao Sen looked at him with raised eyebrows. “I can’t believe Miao Miao isn’t being fierce with you. He’s usually so fierce whenever we have guests over. It seems like he can see that the two of us are a family now.”

Yao Sen lifted Miao Miao’s pink fleshy paw and waved it in front of Shao Han. “Here, Miao Miao, this is your second dad.”

Miao Miao barked twice in a surprisingly very cooperative manner, wagging his tail as he stared at Shao Han.

Shao Han unexpectedly felt a little embarrassed at being stared at by the cotton candy-like dog. Yao Sen simply placed Miao Miao in Shao Han’s arms. Shao Han felt a little uneasy carrying him, but since Miao Miao was already in his arms, he might as well stay there. Miao Miao then gave a very soft bark at Shao Han.

Shao Han carried Miao Miao all the way to Yao Sen’s bedroom, which was decorated in a simple and modern, gray-blue style. He first saw the gaming computer on Yao Sen’s desk, with a triple monitor that looked just like a peacock flaunting its tail. He then saw the Titans mug on the bedside table, and when he turned back, he found that Yao Sen had placed his suitcase next to the bed.

Shao Han: “……Yao Sen, this is your room, right?”

“Yeah,” Yao Sen smiled faintly. “You can sleep here.”

Shao Han’s eyes widened slightly, his gaze moved elsewhere then back again somewhat hastily before he finally pursed his lips. His voice carried an inaudible tension. “Didn’t you say that I wouldn’t be sleeping with you…”

“I didn’t say I’d be sleeping here too.” Without another word, he dropped a kiss on Shao Han’s face and in the end, he couldn’t help chuckle as he rubbed the crook of Shao Han’s shoulder. “The guest room is right across. It’s just that my room is more comfortable to sleep in, so you can sleep here.”

Shao Han’s face reddened slightly as he took a few steps forward, lugging his suitcase over. “I’ll sleep in the guest room.”

Yao Sen wrapped his arms around Shao Han’s shoulders and repressed a laugh, saying, “Okay, okay, I really just want you to sleep comfortably. The bed sheets and pillowcases have all been changed.”

“But will you have insomnia if you change beds?”

“I won’t, my sleep quality is much better after a holiday.”

Shao Han’s eyes flickered with an inexplicable light as he stared at him unblinkingly.

“Don’t worry, I promise I won’t come in without your permission.” Yao Sen held up his hands to pledge his moral standing. “Not even half a foot.”

“…This is your room, if you want to come in then just come in.” Shao Han ultimately withered, and in the end, he pursed his lips a little and lowered his voice a great deal, “Or we can sleep together, as long as you don’t… Umm…”

The entirety of Yao Sen’s attention was focused on the words “can sleep together”, and he didn’t even notice Miao Miao clinging to his pant leg on the floor. Feeling a bit awkward at the expression on Yao Sen’s face as he looked at him, Shao Han turned to unpack his things, but he was hugged by Yao Sen from behind. His back was pressed to Yao Sen’s chest, so scalding that Shao Han trembled.

“Shao Han…” Yao Sen secretly exhaled, the tail end of his words low and magnetic, suppressing his emotions. “Your God Sen doesn’t have that much confidence in his own self-control. What am I gonna do?”

Shao Han’s fair complexion made it exceptionally obvious when he blushed. He struggled a few times but failed to break free, so he had no other choice but to stand there somewhat stiffly. “Then you’d better sleep with Miao Miao.”

“Miao Miao has been shedding recently.” Yao Sen glanced down at Mr. Yao Miao, who was running circles around them. “One day we’ll collect all his shed fur and make a furball for him to play with.”

Seeing that Yao Sen had finally dropped the topic of them sleeping together, Shao Han duly averted the subject even more. “By the way, I’ve always wanted to try a computer with a triple monitor.”

Yao Sen went along with him. “Try it out, play with it all you want.”

That night, Yao Sen still slept in the guest room. He’d originally planned to spend the night under Shao Han’s blanket, but when he returned to his room to fetch his things, he coincidentally saw Shao Han coming out freshly showered, his entire body moist like a delicious steamed bean paste cake.

Yao Sen felt that his self-control had fallen off a cliff, dropping like the blood bar of an amateur who faced off against him, and no one could stop him. He said a mere ‘rest early’ to Shao Han before conscientiously making his way back to the guest room.

When Shao Han got up early the next morning, Yao Sen had already made breakfast, though said breakfast was really only toast with condensed milk and a ham sausage.

Yao Sen: “How did you sleep last night?”

Shao Han nodded. “Pretty well.”

“I have to go out to buy dog snacks for Miao Miao in a bit, I’ll head back as fast as I can.” Yao Sen placed Miao Miao, who’s had his fill of breakfast, onto Shao Han’s lap, and prodded at Miao Miao’s little nose. “Son, be good at home and don’t make trouble.”

After Yao Sen left, Shao Han carried Miao Miao to the sofa to play with him. When Miao Miao was with Yao Sen, he was usually active and lively, but he was surprisingly calm with Shao Han. He obediently lay on Shao Han’s tummy, wagging his tail slowly.

Shao Han stroked Miao Miao’s back and found that he did shed some fur, so he found a dog brush in the living room drawer and brushed Miao Miao’s fur. Miao Miao felt extremely comfortable, and he was spread out on Shao Han’s lap like a little cottonball.

Shao Han gathered Miao Miao’s shed fur on a sheet of paper. After he was brushed, Miao Miao was much more energized and began bouncing around Shao Han. Shao Han was wearing loose loungewear, and as Miao Miao probably felt that Shao Han’s body was nice and warm, he burrowed his head into Shao Han’s clothes.

Shao Han wanted to take Miao Miao out but was afraid of hurting him, so he sat stiffly on the sofa, at a complete loss.

As his two darlings—one big and one small—were waiting for him at home, Yao Sen was eager to return, and there was nothing he wanted more than to be able to directly fly home from the pet shop. When he opened the door, the first thing he sat was Shao Han sitting somewhat stiffly and helplessly on the sofa with Miao Miao’s head buried in his clothes.

“Yao Miao, what do you think you’re doing?” Without delay, Yao Sen pulled Miao Miao out of Shao Han’s clothes, thinking to himself, how could I let you touch him when your daddy hasn’t even touched him yet, then put Miao Miao in his dog house. Miao Miao wanted to run out, but Yao Sen immediately pressed his dog head back in.

Yao Sen: “You don’t want snacks? Go stand in the corner and reflect.”

Yao Sen swept a glance at the small ball of fur piled up on the coffee table, then walked over to Shao Han and sat down next to him, helping him pick out the fur from his clothes. “Did you brush his fur? He gets happy and all stirred up at whoever waits on him, that’s just how he is… Why did you come out again? Go back, you’re getting no snacks this afternoon. You’re already two years old, you have to learn to brush your own hair.”

“Don’t yell at him.” Shao Han didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he pinched Yao Sen’s finger.

The grip on his finger was neither light nor strong—it was like a syrup-coated feather had swept over his heart, soft and sweet. Yao Sen laughed and drew Shao Han’s slender fingers in, laying on a kiss there.
