Beijing’s night still shone bright with lights. The criss-crossing roads were congested by a stream of vehicles that drowned into a pulsating river of lights, flowing into the unknown. On the bustling street, there was no way to stop a taxi that could carry the vampire away.

It’s been a long time since he lived in Beijing and it was not long before Xia YuZhou couldn’t find his directions, so he had to call his younger brother for help.

Zhou Shu still hadn’t replied to his message but his call was answered within a few seconds, “Hello?”

“Da Shu, I’ll tell you two good news,” Xia Yuzhou leaned against the lamp post and watched Si Jun’s car disappear at the end of the avenue. “First, I have a son, you have a nephew!”

There was a cough on the other side of the line, “What?”

“A son…”

“Hush, hush, hush,” Zhou Shu quickly stopped him from continuing, “Don’t air the dirty laundry.1 Let’s talk about it when you’ve come back.”

Xia Yuzhou guessed that there should be someone next to this guy, “The second good news, my clinic is not cleaned up yet so I have to live with you. Come and pick me up.”

“I’m on air. Just take a taxi by yourself.” The younger brother obviously didn’t think it was good news and gave his brother a “roll”.

“If I could get a taxi why would I call you, this waste?”

“You don’t know how to DiDi2 one?,” came the reply from the younger brother who felt like collapsing.

“What is DiDi?”

”

”

“……”

In an e-sports team’s dormitory, situated on the outskirts of the city, Zhou Shu was live broadcasting a duo queue with his teammate. As he had to book a taxi for his brother online, his in-game character ended up dying.

“Yo! Tell us who made our Tree God3 worry so much?” His teammate came over and gave him a wink. Both of them used alternate accounts in the live broadcast so it doesn’t matter if they lost their ranks. That’s why the teammate who was left behind did not instantly choke Tree God to death but still merrily had time to tease him.

Having heard this, the fans in the live broadcast room suddenly blew up.

【Girlfriend? Tree God has a girlfriend?】

【Fsjskflfkd4 noooo! My heart has shattered into 72 pieces, the type that can’t be pieced back together. It can only be comforted by Tree God taking off his mask.】

【Mask removal comfort +1】

Sitting in front of the camera, a tall young man with wild red hair wearing a face mask which only exposed his two eyes, looked at the screen and rolled his eyes at the comments, “My big brother.”

His teammate felt disappointed, “Which deep mountain and old forest did your brother just crawl out of? How come he can’t even use DiDi?”

Zhou Shu glanced at his teammate and said “He just returned from studying abroad and had never used DiDi. You know, some foreign countries are very backward.”

The teammate chatted,”Yo, our big brother is a returnee.”

【Hahahaha. Our Tree God is so mighty!】

【Listening to the conversation on the phone earlier, it seems big brother is coming to live at the base. Can we see him later?】

【Tree God is so handsome so our older brother must be handsome too!】

Zhou Shu ignored the bullet screen and opened another round in silence. When he booked a car for Xia Yuzhou just now, the location point turned out to be the Affiliated Hospital of Medical University, it made his calm heart almost rise to his throat. Xia Yuzhou didn’t know, but he knew that Si Jun was in that hospital.

“Oh, you’re playing games and your friend is also here.” Xia Yuzhou merrily said his greetings just as he opened the door and saw two guys furiously tapping at the keyboard in front of them.

The fans heard his voice, and although the camera couldn’t see the distant view, they suddenly boiled in excitement.

【Our Big Bro is here, our Big Bro is here, our Big Bro is here!】

【Lemme shee Big Brother’s face. Lemme shee.】5

【Our Big Brother’s voice is so good! *whistle*】

Zhou Shu with his headset on didn’t hear the sound of his entry but saw the barrage of bullets. He immediately took off his headset and looked back at him, “What were you doing over there? Did you go see that bastard?”

Xia Yuzhou’s smile disappeared instantly. He put down his slippers and slowly stood straight, “Did you know that, that person is there?”

Zhou Shu didn’t answer, but threw his headphones directly on the table, “F*ck!”

Xia Yuzhou glanced at the bewildered teammate next to him,’”Play your game, I’ll take a bath.”

The barrage on the screen yelling to see their older brother paused to be replaced with a screen full of question marks. Seeing Zhou Shu’s irritable appearance, his teammates couldn’t help but move away from him, and asked cautiously, “What kind of bastard?”

Zhou Shu only then realized that he was still broadcasting. He put on the headset again and said, “It’s nothing, my brother’s ex…girlfriend.”

“So it’s your ex sister-in-law. Then why did you react so much?” His teammate did not quite understand.

“That’s not an ordinary ex sister-in-law,” Zhou Shu said, and with a swing of his hand, he killed a man. His fangs hidden behind the mask almost punctured the cloth. “That is a troublemaker, a pretender king. Frick, don’t let me see him again. I’ll beat him up each time I see him.”6

The teammates stared at him as he madly chopped people for a long while, then he said,”…it’s not good to hit a woman.”
