Fu Mingyuan didn’t think that conversation had been a fight. 

Shen Qi had hung up the video call.

And that was because Fu Mingyuan wasn’t good at coaxing people. 

He had heard something wrong in Shen Qi’s tone, but he had still stubbornly wanted him to blow-dry his hair.

Fu Mingyuan pinched his eyebrows.

When he dialed Shen Qi’s cellphone number and pressed the call key, Fu Mingyuan’s constantly tight back relaxed slightly.

All the way until a mechanical voice said, “Sorry, the phone you dialed has already been turned off.” 

The hand Fu Mingyuan was gripping his phone with tightened.

He stared at the screen for a while, sleepless. 

……

At 5 a.m., the QAQ base. 

The light in Shen Qi’s room was still on.

The tablet was still playing game videos. 

“I see people, wait for me to go over there.”

“This side has been cleaned up.” 

“……”

Shen Qi put down his notebook and quit the video. 

He hadn’t slept all night. His sleepiness had already completely dissipated, and his eyes didn’t sting as much anymore either.

He looked out at the sky, and saw it wasn’t bright yet. 

He just got up out of bed and went to the training room downstairs.

He hadn’t done high-intensity training for a long time, and he sort of couldn’t get the right feel in his hands. 

Lu Tun was the first to wake up, and he walked directly into the lounge half-squinting, wearing slippers and holding a cup of hot water.

When he saw Shen Qi, he slowed down a bit. “Idol…how did you get up so early?” 

Shen Qi’s hands didn’t stop. He just glanced back at him and then looked at the time in the lower right corner of the computer. “It’s not early.”

It was already eight o’clock. 

Lu Tun choked for a bit, took out his cellphone, and checked the time. He pursed his lips and hung his head. He just wanted to go back to his room and change his clothes.

Xu Leng had already put on his clothes, came down, and said, “Whose alarm clock keeps ringing?” 

He yawned.

They hadn’t gone to bed until past 1 a.m. last night, and it already counted as a miracle that they got up now. 

Lu Tun shook his head. “It’s not Ye Lai or I. I live next to him, and I didn’t hear anything.”

Xu Leng’s gaze fell on Shen Qi’s back. 

“Captain, it seems to be from your room.”

He lived next door to Shen Qi, so the sound was probably coming from Shen Qi’s room. 

Shen Qi’s hands stopped, and he suddenly remembered that his cellphone had automatically turned off last night.

At that time, he had still been in a video call with Fu Mingyuan. 

The score of the shooting game on the computer screen had already reached a stage that was difficult for ordinary people to break through.

When Shen Qi left, the chair spun around twice. 

Lu Tun and Xu Leng looked at each other, and then went up to take a look at the game on the screen.

“Last time I played all day, and I still didn’t get to this score.” Lu Tun sighed. “How long has Idol been playing?” 

Xu Leng’s eyes showed a little worship. “I’ll also try.”

Ye Lai, who shuffled from the kitchen wearing an apron and carrying a spatula, looked at the computer. “Shifu was already here when I got up past seven this morning to make breakfast. 

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

“Send a message to Shifu and tell him to come eat.”

Xu Leng answered in affirmative and began to play the shooting game on the computer. 

This game was better than the PUBG training grounds for training attentiveness and shooting skills.

…… 

When Shen Qi turned on his cellphone, the first thing that jumped out was a missed call.

Fu Mingyuan called him at 11:10 p.m. yesterday. 

Shen Qi’s eyebrows jumped up.

The after-effects of staying up all night started to slowly make themselves known. 

His head felt faint, and he felt sleepy.

He drank some water then opened WeChat. 

WeChat froze for a bit before the whole thing came out.

Shen Qi touched his forehead with one hand. 

Alright, it didn’t feel hot to the touch.

So then last night really was his brain not working. 

fmy: Sorry

fmy: If you don’t blow-dry your hair, you’ll get a cold. If you see this, remember to blow-dry your hair and then sleep 

fmy: Don’t be angry

fmy: Sorry, I don’t know how to coax people 

fmy: I won’t turn off my cellphone

fmy: Goodnight 

The last message had been sent at 12:30 a.m.

Shen Qi clicked his tongue, secretly scolding himself for not being humane. 

Clearly his cellphone had run out of power, and his mood was bad due to his own impulsiveness, so after charging the phone, he could have taken care of the matter with one sentence, but instead he had just concentrated on analyzing the video.

It had been a rare time that he could video-call with Gege but just because of his stubbornness, he hadn’t listened to him at all. 

Once there was a little misunderstanding between two people, in the future, it would definitely become a big barrier between them.

Shen Qi wasn’t willing to see that happen. 

He clicked his tongue, one hand propped on his chin.

Sleepiness gradually spread across his entire body, but his mind was clearer now than last night, and he could even remember the little habits and shortcomings of Dog Ge’s playstyle that he had noted down in his notebook. 

He scrolled through his chat records with Fu Mingyuan again, his fingertips stopping at the screen of his cellphone. He didn’t know what to message him with.

He slowly input into the chat box [Gege, my cellphone ran out of power last night, I’m not angry with you] 

This didn’t count as an apology, it was just an explanation.

After sending it, Shen Qi let out a breath. 

His palm propped against his forehead, and his finger rubbed against the background picture of Fu Mingyuan’s face twice.

It dissipated some of the chill. 

He then switched over to Baidu.

[What should I do after I made my boyfriend mad?] 

Standard Answer: Behave coquettishly, act cute, admit your wrongs, and if that still doesn’t work, solve the problem in bed.

Shen Qi raised his eyebrows. He actually really wanted to solve it in bed. 

It was just that the distance between them wasn’t very convenient right now.

They were so far apart. How could the distance become negative. 

He licked his lips and then opened up Moubao.

Before he entered anything into the search bar, he saw several gold rated online shops there. 

Although they couldn’t do it right now, they still had to get the stuff ready.

Otherwise, with the competition being next year, they’d have even less time. 

After placing the order, he switched back to WeChat.

Your Qi Ge: QAQ I’m sorry Gege, yesterday was me acting too impulsively 

Your Qi Ge: QAQ Gege, however you want to punish me, I’m fine with all of it

Your Qi Ge: KneelingDownOnTheGroundAdmittingWrongs.jpg 

Your Qi Ge: QAQ Gege, I’ve already lied down

Your Qi Ge: QAQ My mood was bad, but I vented everything out on you. It was my fault that I didn’t clearly tell you the situation in a timely manner. 

After sending those messages, Shen Qi scratched at his hair and sighed. The corner of his mouth rose slightly and then was pressed down again.

Tch, he couldn’t laugh ah. 

When could he change this bad temper of his.

It wasn’t like Fu Mingyuan was his venting outlet. 

If he was always like this, at some point Fu Mingyuan would grow sick of it.

He pulled at his hair again and closed his eyes for a while. 

His messages still hadn’t been answered.

He felt a little anxious. 

After a few minutes.

His phone vibrated twice. 

Shen Qi’s sleepiness immediately retreated, and his cellphone vibrated twice before he could hold it steady.

Bo Li: Are you training today? Do you want to come play two matches 

Shen Qi dug his heel into the ground, and the idea of killing Bo Li appeared in his mind.

Your Qi Ge: Are you very bored? 

Your Qi Ge: Alright, later

Bo Li: ? 

Bo Li: ??? I called over a few teams to get together and try themselves out against you

Your Qi Ge: Making sure to come abuse us a bit before we can train? Are you afraid that you won’t be able to abuse us after we finish training? 

Bo Li: Heh heh

Bo Li: You’ve been pulled down. I’ve seen your average damage rate on the Korean servers, and it’s fallen down to who knows where. I’m afraid you’ll lose face in next summer’s trials, so we’ll warm you up in advance 

Your Qi Ge: Thank you, bro. Thank you so much for reminding me. Thank you for your kindness, and next time, you can treat me to a meal and that will be fine.

Bo Li: ….? 

Haven’t their roles been reversed there.

Closing the chat with Bo Li, the corners of Shen Qi’s mouth carried a bit of a smile. 

His cellphone vibrated again.

Ye Lai: Shifu, breakfast is ready. Come down to eat. 

Shen Qi answered affirmatively.

The tiny bit of joy from just now was again fucking ruined. 

Fu Mingyuan was probably filming at the moment.

He was just about to get up and go downstairs, when his cellphone vibrated again. 

Although he comforted himself and told himself not to get too worked up when he got a message, he was still a bit impatient as he clicked on it.

fmy: You did nothing wrong. Sorry, it’s me who can’t comfort people, I recognize my death sentence 

The corner of Shen Qi’s mouth quirked up.

Your Qi Ge: QWQ Gege, what’s mine is mine 

fmy: En

fmy: I’m yours 

The corners of Shen Qi’s mouth froze, and he couldn’t help laughing.

No, had Gege misunderstood what he meant 

But how did these words sound so nice.

He pressed on the corners of his mouth, feeling the smile that he couldn’t suppress, and Shen Qi reminded himself that he was here to apologize. 

This gap between them should never be used.

Before he could send his next words, Fu Mingyuan had again sent some messages. 

fmy: I’m your boyfriend, and you’re right to be angry with me

fmy: It was I who stubbornly asked you to dry your hair, and I didn’t coax you when I should have 

fmy: I’m very happy you lost your temper with me, but I was very worried when you ignored me

It took Fu Mingyuan two minutes to send all these messages. 

From when the first message was sent, Shen Qi waited patiently.

All the way until the last sentence. 

After reading, he covered his eyes.

He felt that his ears were a bit too hot. 

The after-effects of staying up all night appeared again. His eyes stung a long, and he even wanted to pinch his nose.

There was no point in arguing about who was right and who was wrong at the moment. 

It seemed that it was as Fu Mingyuan had said: he just needed to take one step.

The other person would take 99 steps to meet him. 

This wasn’t very fair.

Clearly, everyone was equal. 

But he was just also greedy.

After a while, Shen Qi sent two voice messages to him. 

[Gege, when will you be back? The bed is made, and I am also lying there]

[Your boyfriend is ready to fulfill his obligations] 

After sending the voice message, he sent a few more screenshots.

Your Qi Ge: Gege, look, which flavor do you like? 

Your Qi Ge: Or should we try them all? I read the comments, and it seems that they are all good. So how about we try them all ba

The author has something to say: 

I’ll make up for the rest tomorrow, sorry.

Thank you for the bombs and nutrient solution, bubbles 

This is my first time saying something like this: if you like this, gather around, and if you don’t like it, leave. It’s difficult to cater to all tastes, so just nicely gathering or leaving, isn’t that good?
