Ch46 - “Tch, how is my husband like this, how is he even hotter than me?”

Edited by kat

Shen Qi had really wanted to good-naturedly let them know about their sign and show his face. On the way, he also wanted to invite Ye Lai to have dinner with him. 

He didn’t expect that Rong Jing would want to run to the door so badly.

Compared with when he was previously in M1G, Rong Jing, who had always been in wildly high spirits, would quarrel with him because of tactical issues, and would lose his temper and not eat after losing his temper, was now already a stranger to him. 

Everything about M1G had already become unfamiliar to him.

But Rong Jing didn’t think so.

He looked at Shen Qi rubbing the back of Ye Lai’s head as he left, frowned tightly, and hit the wall with his left hand.

The pain in his hand couldn’t completely suppress the feelings at the bottom of his heart. 

He was still not reconciled to all this.

Qiu Ji was looking at the sign that Shen Qi had pointed out. He jumped up and looked at it for a while before realizing that it was really broken. 

He rubbed his hair. For a moment, he couldn’t figure out if Angry really had come over here to let them know.

Anyway, the former captain’s temperament was like this before. 

Inexplicable.

Qiu Ji lowered his head and saw Rong Jing’s gloomy face, then shrank his neck back. 

“Captain…the sign is really broken.”

Rong Jing gave him a cold look and turned his back on him. “If you don’t come in now, then just never come back in.” 

He sneered. “You listen to him so much, but back then, I never heard him mention you.”

The pain in his arm couldn’t be ignored. Rong Jing gritted his teeth, his left hand throbbing with pain after hitting the wall. 

Qiu Ji froze, his expression suddenly growing ugly.

“Captain, we all belong to the same team, and we are all teammates. There’s no need to be like that, really.” 

He wasn’t as soft as Ye Lai.

Ye Lai would only bow his head when he was told off. 

The only time he didn’t do that was when they lost the competition and he ran off.

Qiu Ji frowned as he looked at Rong Jing’s trembling arm and sent a message to the team doctor. “Everyone is part of the same group, and no one wants to see the team do poorly. 

“Why do we have to fight like this?”

When he said this, Rong Jing actually calmed down, stopped, and turned his head back. His face was a little pale, and he showed him a sarcastic smile. “Am I wrong? Did you think you could replace Angry and become M1G’s captain? From when you were in youth training, you were down-to-earth. What qualifications do you have to criticize me here?” 

Qiu Ji lowered his head and clenched his teeth.

Rong Jing laughed again. “Why don’t I see you ever standing up when I’m cursing out Ye Lai? Or do you want to be the second Ye Lai? 

“You also can’t be him. He’s Angry’s apprentice, and has innate talent.”

Qiu Ji directly threw his cellphone. 

“You’re so awesome. You’ve taken over M1G for so damn long, so how come it’s getting trashier and trashier? We didn’t even get into the quarter finals, and what can you do besides cursing out teammates during a competition? The little captain of the youth training camp is even better at leading than you.

“Every time we lose, all you do is curse out other people, but why don’t you take a look at yourself? We call you captain because the boss gave you that power, but what have you actually done? 

“Ye Lai has also left. Next, is it my turn?”

The quarrel between them awakened Bao Dao, who was catching up on sleep upstairs. 

The cellphone broke after it was thrown.

The cellphone’s screen cracked on the ground, and the cracks reflected the lights above them, Qiu Ji’s lost look, and Rong Jing’s ferocious face. 

Qiu Ji saw Bao Dao and went directly past Rong Jing to head upstairs.

When he passed by Bao Dao, he let him know that the captain’s hand seemed to be injured and that he had already called the doctor. 

Hands were a professional player’s lifeline.

No matter how serious their conflict was, they couldn’t just sit back and do nothing about it. 

Rong Jing kicked his cellphone into a corner and stared at the ground. After a while, he spoke in a lower tone.

“If you’re so willing to fight against injustice, then back when Angry left the team, why didn’t you stop him, and when we said he played fixed matches, how come I never saw you guys stand up for him?” 

He snorted and laughed. “Ye Lai was the only one acting foolish, quarelling with me every day over his shifu.”

Qiu Ji stopped, but he didn’t look back. 

Bao Dao silently picked up the pieces of cellphone on the ground, yawned, and didn’t speak. He sat on the sofa to the side and waited for the doctor.

….. 

Shen Qi led Lu Tun and Ye Lai to eat at a food stall.

At this time, there weren’t many people at the food stalls, and the three of them found a cleaner one to eat at. 

Shen Qi supported his chin with one hand and sent a message to Fu Mingyuan.

The other party probably hadn’t finished up yet and didn’t reply after a long time. 

He felt a bit bored. Ye Lai and Lu Tun, the two little kids, drew close to each other, whispering. Shen Qi didn’t want to participate in his sons’ conversation.

He tapped on the screen a few times, then switched to his Weibo sockpuppet account, preparing to go into Fu Mingyuan’s supertopic to check in. 

After a while, he clicked his tongue.

Ye Lai and Lu Tun, who were chatting, looked at Shen Qi in bewilderment. 

“What’s the matter, Idol?” Lu Tun saw the impatient look on his face and found it inexplicable.

There was also a new popularity list, and Fu Mingyuan was actually not in the top twenty.

He studied for a while, but he hadn’t chased stars before, and he didn’t know what to do. 

Lu Tun reflected for a while.

“You can become a special member.” He drew closer and took a look at Idol’s cellphone. 

After hearing Lu Tun’s words, Shen Qi already quickly entered the membership recharge page.

Lu Tun: ….. 

“Idol, whose super topic are you signing into?”

Ye Lai drank some water and also drew closer. “Who is Shifu signing in for ah?” 

He hadn’t seen Shifu chasing stars before, so it was a bit strange.

Ye Lai was the only one who didn’t know that his shifu was already off the market. 

Lu Tun had always felt that telling Ye Lai about Idol’s scum man goings-on would be corrupting a little child, so he had always endured and never said anything.

Shen Qi received the replacement check-in, but it could only make up one day. 

Frowning, he sent another message to Fu Mingyuan.

Your Qi Ge: Gege QAQ my super topic check-ins got interrupted 

Your Qi Ge: Baby isn’t happy, Baby wants a hug from Gege

Lu Tun saw him reveal a slightly strange smile and coughed. Suddenly he knew whose super topic it was. 

He pulled on Ye Lai’s arm and whispered to him, “Um, Lailai, don’t learn from Idol in the future.”

Ye Lai looked at him suspiciously, then at Shifu. 

Lu Tun didn’t continue to say anything.

Shen Qi suddenly let out a laugh and waved at Ye Lai. “Come, Little Apprentice, meet someone. This is your shigong.” 

He switched to his cellphone’s photo album and clicked on one of the photos.

Lu Tun glanced at it, and saw they were all pictures of Male God. 

And in the middle of the album, there seemed to be some private photos.

Private photos??? 

Lu Tun: ….

Fortunately, Idol still had a little conscience and didn’t show the private pictures to Ye Lai. 

Shen Qi pointed out a picture of Fu Mingyuan wearing a black shirt with his right hand on the collar of the shirt, and slightly bending over as he looked at the camera.

He tapped Fu Mingyuan’s cheek twice. “Handsome? Little Apprentice? 

“Tch, how is my husband like this, how is he even hotter than me?”

Lu Tun almost choked to death on a mouthful of water. 

Ye Lai: ….

It’s over, Shifu is flirting around again.  

Did all fans chasing after stars turn into this? Didn’t only wife fans call out “husband”?

Shen Qi propped up his chin and couldn’t hide the smile in his eyes. 

Their order arrived soon.

Shen Qi had some more beer. 

After all, once the team started operating, he wouldn’t be able to drink anymore.

Whether or not he had established the team, this kind of rule was still necessary. 

Lu Tun and Ye Lai were having a good time, drinking coke and playing the finger guessing game.

It was cool at night, but he couldn’t feel it at the moment. 

Maybe it was because he had eaten some food, or maybe it was because he was in a good mood.

Shen Qi sipped his beer, taking a bite of the dish with his right hand while he rested his left hand on his cheek, and turned to the side to watch Ye Lai and Lu Tun. 

It seemed that they had gone back to the days when Ye Lai and Lu Tun were still in HUOJ’s youth training team.

Both of them had a smile on their faces, their eyes curved until they practically disappeared. 

Shen Qi lowered his head and laughed again.

While drinking his second glass of beer, Fu Mingyuan’s video call came through. 

As soon as Shen Qi picked up, a low voice could be heard with the night wind.

“Baby.” Fu Mingyuan’s signal wasn’t good. After work had wrapped up he had seen Shen Qi’s message, and he immediately replied with a video call. 

Du Jing, who was standing next to him and keeping watch for him: ???

I’m still here! Don’t pretend I’m transparent! Can you be a little more low-key! 

Shen Qi wasn’t wearing headphones, so Fu Mingyuan’s voice just came out directly and clearly.

The voice in the video call was a little more distorted than usual, and also a little hoarser. 

Lu Tun and Ye Lai, who were playing the finger-guessing game, looked at each other and suddenly felt that the food in their mouths wasn’t fragrant at all.

Lu Tun: ….. 

Was this Male God’s voice?

It was really similar to Rank One Gege’s voice.  

Suddenly he felt that Idol was even more scummy, and Rank One Gege was so pitiful.

Ye Lai: …. 

Everything Shifu said was true?

Shen Qi’s face was flushed after drinking. It was hard to see him at night in the video, as the light here wasn’t very good, but his voice was a little hoarser. 

He rubbed his fingertips against the table twice before responding. He felt around in his pocket, but he hadn’t brought earphones with him.

It was only now that Fu Mingyuan saw that Shen Qi wasn’t at home. 

He paused and frowned. When he saw the beer on the table, his frown tightened.

“Drinking outside?” The signal wasn’t stable, so Fu Mingyuan could only walk around the entire time, looking for a place with good signal to continue the call. 

He was still wearing his costume, with just a coat on top.

Shen Qi answered affirmatively, then hooked his arm around the back of Ye Lai’s neck to pull him closer to the camera. 

Fu Mingyuan’s gaze fell on Shen Qi’s hand on the back of the other party’s neck. He narrowed his eyes, and his other hand resting on his leg twisted his pants a bit, but he didn’t make a sound.

He still remembered that photo of Shen Qi and his little apprentice. 

“Little Apprentice, greet your shigong.” Shen Qi took another sip of beer with a smile.

Ye Lai froze for a while, looking at Fu Mingyuan, whose outline was just barely visible from the video’s lighting, and whispered a greeting. 

Lu Tun also drew close behind them and waved.

“Male God, good evening, Male God.” 

Shen Qi clicked his tongue, pushed the two of them away, and kicked at the table.

“You two have a good meal and don’t disturb my two-person world.” 

Lu Tun and Ye Lai: ???

Throwing them away as soon as he finished using them, he was really inhumane. 

Fu Mingyuan’s narrowed eyes opened a bit wider. His eyes softened a bit, and only then did he ask him what he meant by his super topic check-ins getting interrupted.

Shen Qi let out an “ah” and gave him an explanation about super topics. 

He also went on about the problems with the team in a low voice.

The young man’s eyes seemed to be red, and the tip of his nose was completely red. 

Maybe it was because his face felt very hot, but he had been covering his face with the back of his hand the entire time.

Fu Mingyuan listened to him quietly. When he saw that the young man was going to drink again, he nagged him, saying that he wasn’t allowed to drink too much and that drinking hurt the body. 

Shen Qi agreed and really put it down.

He was terribly obedient. 

He was very clear headed, but he just felt drunk.

“Gege, I’m so happy.” Shen Qi was smiling so much that his eyes were closed. 

So happy.

He hadn’t been this happy for a long time. 

Fu Mingyuan lowered his head slightly, the corners of his mouth drew up, and he agreed.

“I know.” 

He knew why the young man was so happy.

During their conversation, Ye Lai went to the side to answer a phone call. 

Just a few minutes later, when he came back, his eyes were red again.

Lu Tun pulled his arm and asked in a low voice, “Rong Jing called to curse you out?” 

Ye Lai shook his head. It wasn’t Rong Jing.

He turned his head and looked at Shifu, who was eating slowly while talking. He lowered his head and eyes and didn’t talk. 

He couldn’t spoil Shifu’s mood.

Seeing his silent appearance, Lu Tun almost instantly thought of something. 

He secretly let out two curses, not saying anything out loud.

After the three people finished eating, it was already past midnight. 

They sent Ye Lai back to M1G’s base, and Shen Qi gave a key to the villa to Ye Lai.

Before the new base was finished, they would all have to live at his place. 

After going back, Shen Qi pulled up Ye Lai’s previous home address, leaned against the sofa, raised his head, and said slowly, “Ye Lai’s gambler father is looking for him again.”

He used declarative sentences, not asking any questions. 

Lu Tun sat cross legged on the sofa and yawned. When he heard Idol’s words, he was stunned for a moment, before agreeing falteringly.

Shen Qi clicked his tongue. 

Ye Lai’s previous contract with M1G actually had no fixed base salary every year.

This was because since his first year, all the money had been taken to pay off debts owed by Ye Lai’s father. 

His contract was a debt repayment contract.

And the price Shen Qi had paid for him had included paying off Ye Lai’s debt. 

It had been a total of three years.

And Ye Lai’s prize money from the competitions had all been given to his father one after another. 

This was because his father had been gambling the entire time and was always in debt.

He had no way to pay it off. 

Shen Qi felt a bit of a headache and sent Lu Tun to bed. He held his cellphone for a long time before kneading his temples to go to sleep.

On the other side—— 

Fu Mingyuan hung up the video call, and on the way back with Du Jing, he was silent for a long time before he asked, “If sign-ins on a super topic get interrupted, what problems could occur?”

Du Jing: ….. 

“Probably…losing experience points? I haven’t tried it before…”

He was an agent, so why would he check into super topics? 

Fu Mingyuan’s eyebrows twisted, and he thought for a while. He took out his cellphone and handed it to Du Jing. “Help me search for Angry’s super topic.”

Du Jing let out an “oh.” He was already used to this, so after searching, he returned his cellphone to him. 

A few minutes later, Du Jing’s Weibo suddenly had a prompt pop up.

“Your little cutie Fu Mingyuan has followed Angry.” 

Du Jing, who was checking the news: ???

Hello, did you use the wrong account? 

He grabbed Fu Mingyuan’s cellphone and looked down.

He almost passed out. 

AHHHHHHHH GE THIS IS YOUR MAIN ACCOUNT AH, WHY DID YOU USE YOUR MAIN ACCOUNT!

He wanted to slam himself against a wall at this moment! No one better stop him! 

“Fu Ge, I seriously suspect that you are trying to murder me now, and I have plenty of evidence,” Du Jing sputtered angrily, while contacting the public relations department to get ready to fight.

They’ll just say that his Weibo had been hacked! 

Fu Mingyuan frowned and gave him a puzzled look. He took his cellphone back and began to scroll through Angry’s super topic.

It was only after they walked away further that Ji Yin, who had been hiding in a corner, came out and patted her chest. 

Then she rubbed her flushed cheeks.

Wuwuwu, she heard it! 

She swore that she had only come over here to go to the bathroom, but when she went back, she heard Fu Ge call out “Baby” very very very gently.

AHHHHHHHH WHAT KIND OF ADORABLE NICKNAME WAS THIS! 

Ji Yin felt like she couldn’t even breathe anymore!

This was the second time that she had heard Fu Ge speak so gently! 

And he was even video chatting!

Although she couldn’t see the person on the opposite screen, she knew it must be the little Gege from last night! 

Because Fu Ge’s tone was the same!

Ji Yin patted her chest and cooled her cheeks with her other hand. 

Then she habitually clicked into Fu Ge’s Weibo.

She saw that Fu Ge had been active on Weibo. Oh, he didn’t post anything, and had just followed an e-sports player. 

An e-sports player?

Ji Yin clicked and took a look. When she scrolled to the previous M1G publicity photo, she felt like she was going to faint. 

Wasn’t he that handsome little Gege from last night!

Ji Yin: …. 

Ji Yin really wanted to go outside and run two laps to show respect.

Had she started shipping something real ah! 

—

The author has something to say:

No one is innocent. 

Do you have the ability to call out ‘husband’ in front of Fu Ge?

Ji Yin is me. I don’t care, she’s just me. 

Today, I went out to eat hot pot, and I can’t finish writing, so there will be more later.

Thank you for the mines and nutrient solution
