Chapter 20: Not my male mother!

Peng Ci’s butt pressed against the back of An Xingzhou’s hand. It looked at the computer screen with its back to An Xingzhou, its round eyes spinning as they followed An Xingzhou’s camera.

An Xingzhou glanced at it and took advantage of nobody being around to hide in the room, kneeling and grabbing Peng Ci by its butt to pull it backwards. “Don’t get too close. Be careful of becoming nearsighted.”

Penh Ci turned its head and responded to An Xingzhou with a few squeaks. Then it turned back and continued to follow the perspective of An Xingzhou, who was going around blindly.

The human and rabbit were both focused on staring at the game screen, completely unaware that, in the audience’s eyes, their interactions stirred up passionate screams. Everyone was yelling wildly, “Daddy taking care of the child! Great great great!”

Peng Ci’s plans for PDA completely fell through. Instead, it cut its own nose to spite its face. It had finally made An Xingzhou agree tacitly to the title of “Wife” and climbed onto the throne of “Husband” with great difficulty. But in a second, it was thrown down to the position of a “good son” by its fans.

Good son Peng Ci was still staring at the computer screen while smugly rubbing its butt against An Xingzhou. ‘Hmph! Everyone saw Wife being nice to me! We are the most loving couple on Earth! Everyone is probably really envious!’

Everyone who Peng Ci thought was envious of them was currently going “Male Mothers 1 are lit! Yes to Male Mother! Baby Ci’s butt is so soft! I want to rub it!”

An Xingzhou played single-player this round and didn’t say much while gaming. He occasionally roasted the defeated opponents, saying they were as noob as a bot.

His movements were very experienced, searching a house at lightning fast speed. Peng Ci didn’t see a single thing clearly. It only saw An Xingzhou run into a house, wander around inside, and suddenly kill someone with some tapping on his keyboard. Then, after he picked up the drops and turned to enter another house, killing another person, who was in the house, with some more tapping without stopping.

Peng Ci squatted in front of the computer, unmoving. Only its little head shook, following An Xingzhou’s perspective as he turned in all directions wildly, like a kitten who was watching the cat stick toy.

When An Xingzhou was moving, he was always running. But he’d just turned a corner when someone jumped straight from the roof and charged straight into An Xingzhou’s face.

Peng Ci was close to the computer, so the screen was huge. It wasn’t able to avoid seeing a black-masked person appear in front of it and was startled. With an “ack”, its entire rabbit body stiffly fell backward.

An Xingzhou quickly moved and killed the person before he picked up Peng Ci, between laughter and tears. After he rubbed its back, he bent over to pick up the drops. “He’s dead. He’s dead. Why are you so easily scared…”

Peng Ci stared at the box in the screen for a few seconds and charged forward to pat that drop with its paw. It stuck out its pink tongue and said, “Bleh bleh bleh.” After mocking the person belatedly, it turned back to delicately lick An Xingzhou, continuing to watch An Xingzhou play games.

After An Xingzhou fought until the final zone, he ran to the mountain top, hid at a blind angle behind the rock, aimed towards the distance, and then retracted. The game screen was suddenly huge and suddenly small, practically retracting the gun immediately after shooting. The scenes on the screen changed extremely quickly. Peng Ci shrunk its head and peered out along with the graphic changes.

When An Xingzhou successfully won a round, the eyes of Peng Ci, who had been watching for the entire time, looked like @ symbols 2 . It turned around dizzily and pounced into An Xingzhou’s embrace. “Wheeze!”

An Xingzhou took off his headphones and hugged Peng Ci while forcefully rubbing its belly and asking it, “What’s wrong?”

“Squeak squeak!” Peng Ci closed its eyes and shook its head wildly, its long ears making slapping sounds from the swinging. An Xingzhou felt like he had a headache from listening to the sound.

Peng Ci shook itself awake with difficulty and used both its front and hind paws to crawl onto An Xingzhou’s shoulder, stretching its head to be sticky with An Xingzhou. It glanced at the small, standing mic placed on the table, and whispered extremely quietly at An Xingzhou’s ear, “Wife is really amazing!”

An Xingzhou smiled and tilted his head, allowing Peng Ci to rub against his neck and face. After minimizing the game screen tab, he clicked into the live stream and saw the tightly packed comments charging across the screen. The charging kicked up dust in An Xingzhou’s mind.

An Xingzhou, seeing a pile of “Daddy” and “Male Mom” comments, closed his eyes in self-restraint and then poked the butt of Peng Ci, who was extremely happy with the rubbing.

Peng Ci: “Squeak squeak?”

Peng Ci stopped for a moment, shook its butt, and then continued rubbing against An Xingzhou.

An Xingzhou poked its butt again.

Peng Ci: “Squeak squeak squeak?”

An Xingzhou said quietly, “Look at the computer screen.”

Peng Ci turned its head obediently and saw someone compliment him with “Baby Ci is so well-behaved. So cutee.” Immediately, it rubbed its face and continued rubbing against An Xingzhou happily, even crying out several times while rubbing.

‘I saw! Everyone’s complimenting me!’

Peng Ci started to self interpret An Xingzhou’s actions again. ‘Why did Wife have me look at the computer screen?! Because everyone’s complimenting me! But why did Wife want to have me look at everyone’s compliments?’

It tugged at its ear, and a lightbulb lit up in its head. ‘Because Wife also wants to compliment me! But he’s embarrassed, so he could only compliment me through others’ words! I understwand! Wife has thin skin! So kyut!’

An Xingzhou knew what Peng Ci was thinking, even without using his brain. He didn’t explain it either, grabbing Peng Ci from his neck and putting it in front of the computer. “Here, look again closely!”

The fans in the live stream thought An Xingzhou was having them look closely at Peng Ci, and immediately, there were even more comments.

Peng Ci also stared at the comments obediently. It didn’t stare for very long before its eyes immediately widened.

“Squeak squeak! Squeak squeak squeak!” Peng Ci started to kick at the computer and cry out wildly.

What was ‘a harmonious mother and son’?! What was ‘the Daddy is really like a sun’?! Also, what was ‘Male Mother’?!

‘He’s my wife! My wife! Not my male mother!’

Peng Ci was going to explode in anger. An Xingzhou had just placed it on the desk surface and let go when Peng Ci jumped out like an arrow released from the bowstring, charging to the mic and standing up in front of it. It screamed, “No——”

An Xingzhou covered Peng Ci’s mouth in one go and took it back, stuffing it into his embrace and changing the subject. “I‘ll get a lucky viewer to have a sweet co-op round with. The moderator will choose.”

Peng Ci’s mouth was still covered. After hearing An Xingzhou’s words, its ears rubbed a bit and stood straight up.

‘‘Sweet co-op round’?! What ‘sweet co-op round’?! Wife isn’t allowed to be sweet with others!’

An Xingzhou felt like he couldn’t cover Peng Ci’s mouth anymore, so he turned off the mic in a sharp-eyed and deft manner. In the next second, Peng Ci broke away from his hand and screamed at him, “I want to co-op sweetly with Wife!”

An Xingzhou: “…”

An Xingzhou turned the gaming chair around to have its back facing the camera and said after pinching Peng Ci’s tail, “You’re a rabbit. How can you co-op?”

Peng Ci extended its paws and kicked its legs, showing An Xingzhou its agile little pawsies. “I can co-op!”

“You can’t.” An Xingzhou said, “There’s only one computer in the house.”

Peng Ci huffed a few times and said, “Then just buy another one!”

“…” An Xingzhou turned the chair back and said, in a way that it was hard to explain the whole story before turning on his mic, “You’re really too excessive with your freeloading…”

This is a very demanding freeloader rabbit

This slang originated from the term “Mother fans”, which are female fans who are older than their idols and care for them like their mothers. It was then changed for guys who comment in games like those “Mother fans”, creating the word like this: @ [email protected]
