PUBG Online Romance of the Century

Edited by xiin and Noks

Once a person did something for a long time, it would become a habit. Yu Yan was also like that—that bath gel had been sold in the nearby supermarket for several years, so he'd used it for several years.

He paused when hearing this question, and then replied, "I've been using it for a long time, and I've never changed it. Does it smell really bad?"

Yi Chen put down the towel. "No, it smells very good."

He had brought a small suitcase with him this time. He had packed the clothes that had been prepared and had been left in the office in case of a sudden business trip, along with a stack of documents.

He changed into some loose loungewear that was much more comfortable than his suit from just now, then raised his hand to casually wipe at his hair before gesturing towards the gaming chair with his chin. "Can I sit there?"

"Yes, sit wherever you like," Yu Yan said.

Yi Chen sat without any restraint in the gaming chair. As soon as he wanted to say something, Yu Yan picked up his clothes, tossed out a, "I'll take a shower," and entered the bathroom.

Sounds could be heard coming out through the bathroom door.

Yi Chen looked back at the documents in his hands and read them for a bit, but it was really hard to keep going.

So he closed the folder, leaned back, and looked at the computer desk in front of him.

Seeing it like this, he couldn't help the corners of his mouth from curling up.

Usually, the camera was facing Yu Yan, and so no one could see the computer desk.

Now, he could see that two pieces of printed paper had been stuck to the left and right sides of the screen.

There were several lines of big, black characters on it——

"If they get angry, I can't get irate. If I get sick from anger, there will be no one to help me rehabilitate.

If I die of anger, who will care? Besides, it's painful and will only leave me threadbare."

When Yu Yan came out, he saw Yi Chen taking a photograph of the two large pieces of paper stuck on the back of his computer desk with his cellphone.

Hearing the sound of movement, Yi Chen didn't turn his head as he said, "I'll ask my assistant to print one for me and stick it up in the office."

Seeing what he was doing, Yu Yan blurted out, "That's… not very elegant ba."

Yi Chen raised his eyebrows. "I'll learn from you and stick it up secretly."

"I just stuck it up casually." Yu Yan explained awkwardly, "Some stream followers are pretty irritating."

"Some employees are even more irritating." Yi Chen turned around and was ready to say something, but as soon as the words formed in his mouth, he tucked them back inside.

Yu Yan had changed into very ordinary pajamas. In order to be comfortable, his pajamas were very loose, and the collar of his top was too big. With just one glance, Yi Chen could see his whole clavicle. His clavicle was very conspicuous; although it was thin, it wasn't exaggerated, and the lines were very attractive.

At such a time, he didn't want to mention those employees who were a headache at all.

Yu Yan laughed and turned to open the balcony door to hang his clothes on the clothes drying rack.

It was raining outside, and soon, pretty much all his clothes were hanging there.

There was only the last item left. He turned his back and hung his underwear on the hanger and looked upwards to hang it up, but his gaze was then drawn to a particular item hanging above, and his movements froze——

Not far from ahead, hung a pair of men's black underwear.

It wasn't his.

To say why Yu Yan was so sure about that—one was that it was the wrong brand; the brand name in English was written at the top of the underwear, and the cost of one of these pairs of underwear was the same as five of his.

The second was that… it was the wrong size.

The one that Yu Yan was carrying in his hands was obviously a few sizes smaller than the one above. He blushed with shame, then silently turned around and hung up his underwear in the spot farthest from this other pair.

Men were very concerned about this, Yu Yan included.

You're still young, and you can still grow; there's no shame there—He said to himself in his heart.

Yi Chen got up, picked up several documents, and found a random place to set them down.

When Yu Yan came back inside from the balcony, he asked, "Which side do you like to sleep on?"

Yu Yan froze, and then said, "…Anything's fine."

Yi Chen nodded and replied, "In that case, I'll sleep on the outside."

Yu Yan sat in the chair and took out a notebook, but his gaze constantly kept sweeping over to his side.

Yi Chen lay in the bed extremely naturally. He propped his head on one hand and asked, "What are you writing?"

"Noting down livestream duration times," Yu Yan said honestly, "and the ID of the new boss of today's stream to make it easier for them to jump the line later."

His star list was already unable to contain all of his bosses' IDs.

Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "My name is there too?"

"Yes." Yu Yan said, "The first one."

Yi Chen was satisfied and wanted to say something else when the cellphone on the desk suddenly rang.

He took a look, and it was a call from Yi Ran.

“Ge, why haven’t you come home yet?” Yi Ran asked from the other end, “I’ve gotten crayfish to-go for you, it’s garlic flavored.”

"I'm not coming home tonight," said Yi Chen.

Yi Ran let out an "oh" and asked, "Did you go on a business trip ah?"

"No." Yi Chen added, "What else?"

Yi Ran hesitated and said, "Ge, Cheng Ge just called me to tell me that he is having a party this weekend and wants me to go with you."

Yi Ran wasn't stupid. As soon as Mo Nancheng had spoken, he had understood that some kind of conflict had probably sparked between the two men. Speaking of which, it was pretty strange; his Ge and Cheng Ge had known each other for so long, but had never fallen out before. They rarely even had disagreements, so this time, something big must have happened.

He originally hadn't wanted to poke at this bad situation, but the reward Mo Nancheng had offered was just too tempting.

The sound of someone speaking suddenly ceased around him. Yu Yan's pen tip paused, he looked over curiously, and their gazes met.

Yi Chen's eyes were dark, so he couldn't see what the other person was thinking. Upon meeting Yu Yan's gaze, he gathered up his thoughts, raised his hand and crooked his fingers, beckoning him over.

Yu Yan's face grew warm.

Seeing his expression that showed that he was at a loss, Yi Chen's glum mood from hearing Yi Ran's words suddenly disappeared.

Yi Ran didn't get an answer, so he called out again, "Ge?"

Yi Chen replied, "If you want to go…"

Yi Ran interrupted, "I want to go! I really want to go!~"

Yi Chen's tone was as usual as he replied, "Then just go by yourself. If I'm not there, he'll still let you in."

Yi Ran: "…."

Having known him for a long time, Yi Ran knew that his Ge was like a hard stone. As long as he said "no" once, he wouldn't change his mind about it ever again. He simply didn't waste his energy and asked, "Ge, where did you go on a business trip?"

Yi Chen didn't say that he wasn't on a business trip, but simply said, "Manyang."

"Why did you go to Manyang again?" Yi Ran asked, "Is the weather very good in Manyang? I'm freezing to death in Jincheng. Ge, which hotel are you staying in? How about I go find you ba."

Yi Chen asked, "Not going to the party?"

"I can come back before the weekend." Yi Ran opened the hotel booking app and said, "Don't worry, Ge. My dad has returned my card to me, so I have money now. I can book my own hotel room."

"Do whatever you want, I'm not staying in a hotel," said Yi Chen.

Yi Ran stopped and asked, "Ah? If you're not staying in a hotel, then where are you staying?"

Instead of answering this question, Yi Chen stated, "If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."

"Oh, by the way, there's more. I saw that there's a company saying they want to sue Xiao Yan when I was browsing Weibo today. Ge, do you know anything about that?" After saying this, Yi Ran paused and immediately felt that something was off. "—Hey, wait… Ge, you're in Manyang? It couldn't be that you…"

Yi Chen hung up.

He dropped his cell phone on the desk and asked the person in the chair, "Done writing?"

Yu Yan let out an "en."

Yi Chen asked, "Sleep?"

Yu Yan nodded twice."….Sleep."

Although Yi Chen had used his body wash, it hadn't managed to cover up the original scent on his body completely.

Yu Yan lay in bed, smelling the fragrance of milk mixed with Gucci cologne, his mind a complete mess.

His bed wasn't small, but it also couldn't be considered large. Two adult men, when laying on it together, made it still a little crowded.

Yu Yan lay on his side, facing outwards, trying to avoid touching the person behind him. He blinked and blinked in the dark, not sleepy at all.

Everyone said that fortune and misfortune came hand-in-hand. Was it because he had had such a bad day that he was now attaining such a fortunate thing?

It was quiet behind him, there was no sound at all.

Yu Yan was in a daze for 10 minutes. Only after the sound of a steady breathing came from behind him did he turn his head carefully.

Yi Chen was lying on his back with his eyes closed. Under the moonlight, Yu Yan could see the faint outline of his facial features.

Yu Yan lacked a thesaurus, so the only words he could think of was that he was so handsome, more handsome than all the men he had ever seen.

He stared at him for a long time before quietly looking away.

Since he was unable to sleep, he simply didn't try to sleep. He carefully propped himself up, quickly took his cellphone from the table, and then lay down gently.

After muting the sound and changing the brightness of the cellphone screen to the lowest setting, he then started surfing the Internet.

Usually, when he couldn't sleep, aside from video-calling with Yi Chen, he just watched movies. However, he was used to playing the movies out aloud when he watched them. After all, it would be bothersome to wear earphones again after having worn them for the entire day.

Next to the movie app was the Weibo icon.

He was still hesitating when a message appeared at the top of the screen.

Your Great Lord Lu: I know you're in a bad mood, so let me show you a silly collection. [Weibo link: Sharing today's happiness, Dummy.gif….]

It was as if Lu Xiuhe knew what was going on, so had quickly helped him make a choice.

Yu Yan replied with a "thanks" and clicked into that Weibo link.

The gifs were all very funny, and as he watched, the corners of his mouth drew up crazily, and he had to hold his laughter in. After seeing all nine gifs, he even raised his hand to like it, then habitually swiped to the left, and the Weibo interface jumped to his personal home page.

The message notification bar below his name still showed 999+ unread messages.

His smile froze at once.

After Yi Chen's arrival, all these troubles had been tossed to the back of his mind. Now, seeing this unread message count had dragged the problem in front of him again.

He hesitated for a long time, and then still raised his hand to click on the message bar.

Yet, in the end, before he could see the interface clearly, he heard the sound of something flipping from behind him. Suddenly, his back was plastered with a warm heat, and then his ears were slightly rubbed by something that also blew a cool breeze past them.

Yu Yan's screen was suddenly covered by a big hand.

The sound of the person behind him breathing hit his ear, and because he had fallen asleep for a little while, his voice was still hoarse as he said, "Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and reading these things?"

Yu Yan basically stopped breathing altogether.

They were so close that he could feel the slight contractions of Yi Chen's chest every time he breathed.

"It's just… I can't quite sleep."

"Will you be able to sleep after reading this?"

This voice was right next to his ears every night, so Yu Yan originally thought that he had gotten used to it.

Until His Honor spoke directly into his ears.

He couldn't get used to it; he wouldn't be able to get used to it for the rest of his life.

"I just want to see the fans' messages." In the dark, Yu Yan's face was red. "Or their opinions."

"Why bother reading their opinions?"

Yi Chen's fingers exerted a little force, and Yu Yan's cellphone locked with a very clear click, and darkness was restored around them. "If you really want to know, you can ask me; I'm also a fan."

"…."

Yu Yan could feel the warmth at his back as his thoughts froze.

Not hearing an answer, Yi Chen laid his head on his hand, and with interest, his other hand left the cellphone to wander over accurately to Yu Yan's chin, scratching it gently with his fingertips, just as if tickling a cat. "Talk ah."

What could he talk about?!

Yu Yan almost raised his hands in surrender. He asked, "Then what opinions do you have?"

"Opinions." Yi Chen thought about it and said, "You're too easy to bully."

He paused and continued, "When they said they wanted to sue you, you should have replied back directly, 'Can't sue me, you're my grandson.'"

Yu Yan didn't expect Yi Chen to utter such an earthy remark. For a while, he was in a daze. "…Where did you even learn that from?"

"Stream followers taught it." Yi Chen said, "And those antis, they stir up trouble in your comments, so you should delete their comments, ban their accounts, and then @them to come out. Humiliate them however you want, just piss them off completely."

Yu Yan: "…"

"The Weibo account is yours, and the livestream is also yours. If they curse you, just hit back; don't sulk by yourself. Whatever the case, I'll support you." Yi Chen's expression was careless, but his tone was serious.

Yu Yan heard this, and his nose grew sour. He didn't like to cry, but there had already been two times where he almost hadn't been able to hold back today. He pushed through the sourness and suddenly asked, "Yi Chen, do I look very pitiful?"

Yi Chen raised his eyebrows, gesturing that he didn't quite understand his words.

Yu Yan turned his head, and his nose pretty much pressed into Yi Chen's face.

His eyes glittered in the gloom, and he asked, "Do you also feel distressed for me?"

Yi Chen looked back at him, silent for a moment, and admitted, "En."

Yu Yan looked at him for a long time, and then also followed with a gentle "en".

Even if Yi Chen only hugged and kissed him because he felt distressed for him, it didn't matter.

As long as they were together now, he would try his best to make Yi Chen really and truly like him through all means possible.

Yi Chen saw the expression on the face of the person in front of him suddenly turn serious, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

He lowered his head and kissed Yu Yan. It was a light kiss, and he spoke in a natural tone, "When you see the person you like wronged, anyone would feel distressed ba."

Dark stratagems had just started brewing in Yu Yan's heart, and he was firmly deciding to drive away other people who liked Yi Chen. Hearing this though, he immediately froze. "Ah."

"Last time at the airport, I originally wanted to kiss you, but there were too many people around." Yi Chen said, "I don't care… but I was afraid that you'd be photographed. You're only livestreaming, but how did you manage to become as popular as a little star? It's not convenient."

Yu Yan's heart was about to jump out.

However, his expression was still calm.

He didn't answer. Using their current position, he suddenly raised his hand to hook Yi Chen's neck and pressed his lips against his.

Yi Chen was a bit surprised. He remained still, letting Yu Yan bump around.

As they kissed and kissed, a warm heat poked against his lips.

Yi Chen chuckled and opened his mouth to let him in.

The two of them kissed for a long time, until Yu Yan felt tired of propping himself up and lay down again.

"I'm not a star, and I'm also not afraid of getting photographed," he gasped.

Yi Chen's breathing was also a little short. He laughed and said, "You've become so promising?"

"…… I've always been very promising," Yu Yan said.

Yi Chen leaned over, but this time, he just kissed the tip of his nose.

Just then, he was afraid that he wouldn't have been able to sit still anymore if that kiss had continued on.

But Yu Yan was different. This was his first time liking someone and his first time dating someone, and he was at a vigorous age. At this time, his eyes shone brightly as he swallowed. After being kissed on the tip of his nose, he couldn't help it. He lifted himself up, wanting to draw closer again.

When Yi Chen saw this, he pressed Yu Yan's forehead. Although his tone was light, his voice had already been tinged with lust. "If you keep going, we'll have to go to the supermarket again," he said.

Yu Yan didn't understand. "To buy what?"

"Lubricant and condoms."

Yu Yan, who didn't even really watch porn, sucked in a breath.

He stared at him with wide eyes, then blinked and asked, "Should you go to buy it, or should I?"

"……"

Youths were really good at teasing people. Yi Chen's Adam's apple bobbed, and he said, "Don't stir up trouble, not tonight."

Things between men were different than those with a woman, and there were many aspects that needed to be paid attention to. He hadn't researched it yet, and so didn't want to recklessly take him.

Yu Yan took heed of what he said. Yi Chen said no, so he didn't keep pressing either.

Then… there must be a reason for not doing it tonight ma.

Since he didn't have any reason to not do it, then it was Yi Chen who had an issue.

Never ask a man, "Why can't you do it?" —Yu Yan knew this much at least.

When Yi Chen saw that he didn't say anything anymore, his heart felt tickled. Clearly it was him who didn't let Yu Yan continue, but at last he lowered his head and kissed him again.

Five minutes later, Yi Chen lifted up the blankets and got up.

Yu Yan, who was a little dizzy from all the kissing, looked at him blankly and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Bathroom," said Yi Chen.

"Wait." Yu Yan's face grew redder. He said, "I…. Can I go first? I…. It's very urgent."

Yi Chen took a deep breath. If not for the fear of misfiring, he even wanted Yu Yan to help him.

"I'm even more urgent," he said stiffly.

"……"

Juurensha: Hahahaha, while it's sweet that Yi Chen wants to research things properly first before their first time (other MLs, take note!), I don't think Yanyan would mind just helping you out a little there Boss Yi. You could even help each other out, huhuhuhu…… (And I'm glad they got through that misunderstanding that Boss Yi is pity dating Yanyan, although it was cute that Yanyan was like well, it doesn't matter why we got together, what matters is that I need to make him properly fall in love with me now!)

Noks: I really thought that I would have to edit smut when the kissing started. Hah… I'm a bit disappointed right now…
