Chapter 58 – R-rated pictures
Commentary on A Hua and the CP (Couple Pairing) fans gave Charity a powerful demonstration of what it means: “Every snowflake is surfing during an avalanche.”
A Hua replied to Chen Enci’s comment under Lin Xingling’s Weibo post: [Brother, I took a bite, it’s really sweet!]
The leading sister of Duo Tang came to show her support: [So sweet!]
CEO of DW’s King of Glory division: [Sweet! ❤]
KPL commentator Jiang Li joined in the excitement: [During an avalanche, every snowflake is bravely exploring the unknown]
It made Lin Xingling’s head spin.
[DCT-Clear]: Are your blood types exploring the unknown?
This trending topic won’t go away anytime soon, even if it sinks… the CP fans have gotten into it as well.
Lin Xingling decided to let it be and no longer pay attention.
He had dinner with Cheng Che and the others, then followed the coach’s arrangement and went directly back to the base.
Team celebrations usually involved a banquet, but going to KTV or anything like that was never considered—everyone was still just kids, and no one liked to make a fuss.
When they returned to the base, Cheng Che charged his phone and checked Weibo again, feeling like he had a 2G network.
“Can this even happen?”
After seeing it, Cheng Che was shocked.
“Don’t worry,” Lin Xingling reassured him, saying, “It’s nothing, just fans making a fuss. It will pass in a few days.”
…
Instead of getting better in a few days, it escalated even more.
The enthusiasm of the CP fans reached the point of topping the trending list and creating their own vlogs, and then checking the livestream room after posting the vlog.
Cheng Che had become numb to it.
When it first appeared on the trending list, Cheng Ming specifically invited him to the company and had a talk, giving him a long lecture on how to avoid the restlessness of adolescence, that he was still young, and so on.
In summary, his father’s words were: The family’s businesses are waiting for you to take over, and then I will find a suitable daughter from a good family for you.
No matter what he said, Cheng Che only responded with a simple “I know.”
In the end, a rare conversation between father and son was interrupted by a message.
The message was from that woman, and he didn’t know the content.
Cheng Che felt that he should also be concerned about his wife and daughter at home, so he excused himself.
Before leaving, his father stopped him, and Cheng Ming smiled and said, “Your sister looks a lot like you. Do you want to see her?”
Sister, looks like me… I should see your mother…
Cheng Che left without turning his head, using his actions to show his father that he didn’t want to see.
He wanted to be a strong child.
The strong child who had finally broken down cried to his captain, who was like his father, when he got home that night.
Lin Xingling said, “Your strength makes me want to turn ‘strong’ upside down, kid.”
After learning about the messy things happening in Cheng Che’s family, Lin Xingling had only one thought: “Don’t cry, from now on, the captain will be your family.”
Cheng Che wiped away his tears and pragmatically said, “I want… I want to drink Sprite.”
I’m already crying, hurry up and let me drink.
Lin Xingling said, “Wait for me, I haven’t finished being sentimental… Ahem, I may not be able to change your past, but I can be part of your future, witnessing your glory together.”
After he finished speaking, Cheng Che took more than ten seconds to respond, “Captain, I want… I want to drink… Coca-Cola.”
Lin Xingling was puzzled, “Didn’t you want to drink Sprite?”
Cheng Che said, “Then… then I’ll drink Sprite.”
Lin Xingling said, “You can’t drink it.”
Cheng Che:…
Then why did you tell me?
He didn’t get to drink Sprite until the next day, after they won against the second opponent in the regular season and went to celebrate as a team.
Cheng Che even made a diary entry on his phone’s notepad.
[10.11, Thursday, Sunny Today, Coach Sharp generously gave me a whole bottle of Sprite, telling me not to drink it all at once, so I can take it back to the team and still enjoy it. I’m very happy!]
The next day–
[10.12, Friday, Cloudy Lin Xingling hid my Sprite…]
Lin Xingling stood behind him and asked, “Are you very angry?”
Cheng Che, sitting on the sofa, looked up and saw his chin, immediately breaking out in a cold sweat.
“N-No, I’m just writing randomly…”
“I don’t want you to drink Coke because I care about you. Drinking too much of that stuff is bad for your health. You should drink more water.” Lin Xingling handed him a thermos.
Cheng Che said, “That’s… Sprite…”
Wu You watched from the side and waited for Lin Xingling to leave before approaching Cheng Che, “Brother Che, you’re in a tough spot.”
“You can’t drink it either.” Cheng Che pouted, “Don’t… don’t act like you’re a hundred steps ahead of me.”
“I can’t drink it, but I have a room. In my room, I have a lot~” (You).
“…” (Che).
“Why do you have that expression, Brother Che? What mischievous ideas are you thinking about?” (You).
“Let’s make a deal. Otherwise, I’ll expose you.” (Che).
Liu Yang approached with a smile, saying, “I have it too.”
…After hearing their words, Cheng Che instantly felt that he should move out.
As long as there’s a separate room, he can hide snacks~
At night, Cheng Che applied to his dear roommate to separate their rooms… and was mercilessly rejected.
Lin Xingling asked a fatal question.
“Just because of half a bottle of cola, you don’t want me anymore?”
Cheng Che couldn’t bear it and said, “That was… Sprite.”
Sprite and cola are different. Sprite is a bit sweeter and tastes better, blah blah blah…
“Mm…”
Lin Xingling glanced at him, sighed, and went out with the blanket, leaving him with these words, “Then I’ll leave.”
In the heart of a child, even Sprite holds a higher position. He truly lived in failure.
In the middle of the night, Cheng Che remained sitting by the bed, feeling desolate.
He opened his phone and saw that the reply to the question from the anonymous account had increased by one: [Just be yourself, you’re the most obedient cub].
Cheng Che replied to the anonymous account: [But I’m really angry. I just got so angry that I went to sleep hugging my blanket].
“Tsk…” Lin Xingling saw the reply to the anonymous question and couldn’t help but feel a headache.
Why is this mischievous child just like the one at home?
He lay on the bed in the guest room and typed his reply: [Apologize the way you got angry, and you’ll still be a good kid].
The other person sent: [Okay, thank you].
Two minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
Lin Xingling: ?
“Who is it?”
The person outside answered, “It’s me.”
…It was Liang Feng.
Liang Feng came and asked a bunch of questions, asking if he had a fight with the child, and he sighed in relief after getting a negative answer.
Then Lin Xingling said, “He made me angry unilaterally.”
After hearing the whole story, Liang Feng rolled his eyes at him and said, “He’s just a child. You’re really childish, getting angry with a child.”
Lin Xingling smiled.
Liang Feng: …
“You, something’s not right… I warn you, Cheng Che is the seeded player we bought for five million. Don’t have any weird thoughts.”
“Well, that’s my dowry too, two million plus two million…” Counting on his fingers, Lin Xingling asked, “If I earn another million for the team, does that mean he’s equivalent to what I bought?”
[Clear: Sharp bought a child bride for Stars]
In an instant, Liang Feng’s mind was filled with this barrage.
“Get lost! Buying and selling children is illegal, I won’t do it.”
…
After the coach left, the room quieted down again, and Lin Xingling idly scrolled through Weibo.
The hype around the La Lang
Xingchen Chengche’s super topic had over two million fans, and ClearStars’ super topic had over one million.
It seems more people prefer age gap relationships.
Lin Xingling shook his head, reminding himself to keep his mind clean, not to think like that.
Cheng Che is still so young and innocent, he shouldn’t…
He opened a messaging app to find someone to chat with and distract himself, and coincidentally, Chen Enci sent him 39 messages.
He clicked on them and saw… explicit drawings of anime characters.
The blue-eyed boy with star-shaped hair clip was Cheng Che, and the other one with slightly parted bangs and an earring… was clearly himself.
Spot on.
The drawings were spot on.
This pose was spot on.
The adorable expression on the cute cub’s face was spot on…
Kisses and hugs, ha ha ha, 36 pictures in a set.
The top three were the messages sent by Chen Enxi.
[SYG-Charity: Little Jelly Bean, look at this!]
[SYG-Charity: A friend of mine who is an artist drew this. She said she really hopes you can see it. [Giggles] ]
[SYG-Charity: She also said practice makes perfect~]
Lin Xingling: Purify the soul, purify… bullshit.
[DCT-Stars: …]
Save all 36 pictures without missing a single one, then block Chen Enci and reject all messages.
[SYG-Charity: Brother, I’m showing you some R-18 pictures. Clear won’t beat me up for it, right? He’s so fierce, unlike me. I only know how to dote on my brother~ [silly face]] [!]
Chen Enci, who was far away in Chengdu, looked at the exclamation mark in front of the message he had sent and fell into contemplation:
Will Stars get angry? I shouldn’t be in any life-threatening danger, right? He wouldn’t actually buy a train ticket to come beat me up, right?! Help…
That evening, the door to SYG’s second team’s assistant’s room was knocked open.
Xiao Nuo: ?
Chen Enci: Let me hide here with you for the night, bro.
…
After reading it several more times, his expression went from embarrassment to a blushing smile to a gentle and kind expression.
The sound of rushing water came from the bathroom.
Feeling much more comfortable after taking a shower, Lin Xingling wrapped himself tightly in the blanket and lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Cheng Che’s eyes were truly beautiful, especially when he cried. Mist filled his azure irises, condensing into clear teardrops, sparkling like crystals.
…I really want to see him crying and calling my name, stuttering and being soft and obedient.
Thinking this, Lin Xingling reached out and pinched his own face hard: Lin Xingling! Stop your perverted thoughts!
…Cheng Che is a child to be cherished.
But the child prefers Sprite over me… No, the child doesn’t like me at all…
Lin Xingling secretly made up his mind to deal with his love rival tomorrow—whether by drinking it or pouring it out, he just wouldn’t give it to Cheng Che.
Cheng Che: Thank you.
Sprite: Are you sure this isn’t personal revenge?!!
Just thinking this way makes me feel better… Lin Xingling rolled over to sleep, but then sat up again, habitually wanting to turn on the night light for Cheng Che.
“…”
Forgot that we’re not together now…
Lin Xingling took a deep breath, puffing out both of his cheeks.
“Hoo—”
Exhale, inhale, exhale, calm down.
But in the end, he couldn’t resist sending a message to his little brat:
[DCT-Stars: Sleep early, sweet dreams.]
