Chapter 71 – Diamond Ring
Originally, DCT was the fourth place in Group S, and in the playoffs, they were going to face the first-place team SYG. However, in the second-to-last game, TG shut out KV, and DCT’s points soared, making them the first place in Group S.
Since then, TG became DCT’s opponent.
However, the situation changed dramatically in the last game, with HT winning 3-1 against DW. DW’s points dropped, and DCT’s points jumped to become the third place in Group S.
Group S’s third-place team, DCT, faced off against Group S’s second-place team, SYG.
Fans left comments saying it was destiny and urged DCT to stop struggling.
DCT stated that they have already settled.
…And everyone eagerly anticipated Cheng Che’s Son Shangxiang cosplay with a pentakill. The official account said it would have to wait until his birthday.
It happens to be a good opportunity for birthday perks.
Regarding this, the Moon Sisters said, “At least we still have to perform the steady force victory dance.”
The official account responded:
[DCT Esports Club]: No problem~
[DCT-Clear]: Why is this humanoid dog here again?
[DCT-Stars]: [Pat on the head]
Cheng Che’s eighteenth birthday falls on November 22nd, the fifteenth day of the tenth lunar month. It’s on a Thursday during the first week of the playoffs, which also coincides with Thanksgiving and the Small Snow solar term.
It’s a great day.
DCT’s match in the winners’ bracket is scheduled for this Sunday, so there is no rush in terms of time. They can make it more grand for him.
Preparations began three days ago, and by the evening of the 21st, they were mostly complete.
That night, everyone wanted to wait in his room until midnight to wish Cheng Che a happy birthday, but they were all chased out one by one by Lin Xingling, who told them to go to bed early.
Helpless, Liu Ying and the others could only send birthday wishes on Weibo.
Ahua, Hanchuan, and others also did the same, even sending a message.
Everyone had been eagerly anticipating it, and finally, at 23:59:59, Cheng Che’s phone kept ringing non-stop.
“Happy birthday, happy adulthood.”
No one would have expected that the owner of the phone at this moment would be pressed down on the bed, kissing… It wasn’t as passionate as expected, Lin Xingling was very gentle, the kiss was tender and lingering, and Cheng Che felt like he was about to float away.
After the kiss, Cheng Che looked up at him expectantly.
He watched as Lin Xingling casually turned off his phone and took out a small box from his pocket. He opened it, revealing a ring.
A DR diamond ring.
A man can only customize one in his lifetime.
It was a coming-of-age gift and also a proposal…
“Xingling… Hmm…”
Lin Xingling held Cheng Che’s left hand, which was collapsed on the bed, took out the ring, and put it on his middle finger.
The whole process was smooth and flawless, without a single flaw.
“I love you, whether you’re willing to be with me or not, I still want to…”
“I’m willing!” Cheng Che didn’t wait for him to finish and quickly agreed, “I love you too. I love you even more than you love me!”
Saying that, he hugged Lin Xingling’s neck tightly and forcefully made him lower his body, taking the initiative to raise his waist and kiss him.
He didn’t know how to kiss someone else, so he could only kiss and bite.
“…” Lin Xingling gently held his waist.
He had finally witnessed it. Cheng Che’s little fangs may look dull, but when he bites, he doesn’t hold back…
Cheng Che only lightly bit a few times in the midst of his confusion, and Lin Xingling’s mouth was already bleeding.
Tasting the sweet and bloody flavor, Cheng Che stopped and smacked his lips, frowned, and then asked excitedly, “Does this mean… we’re together now?!”
His eyes were bright, as if countless stars had gathered.
Indeed, his stars were in his eyes.
“Um.”
Cheng Che continued to ask, “So, so I’m the wife, and you’re the husband?!”
“You’re talking nonsense.” Lin Xingling’s face blushed instantly.
He gently tapped Cheng Che’s forehead and educated him, saying, “That’s something you can only call after we get married.”
Marriage…
Cheng Che sat up straight and tilted his head, “Then, then you give me a ring. Is this, is this a proposal… and I accept it.”
Sweetly and tenderly, he exclaimed, “Husband!”
Hearing that, Lin Xingling’s body trembled.
He seriously doubted whether his little kid even knew what being shy meant… He used to be so shy and well-behaved…
And shamelessly, he continued from behind…
While Lin Xingling wasn’t paying attention, Cheng Che grabbed his right hand and guided it behind him. With a twist of his waist and a forward lean, he sat down on his hand.
“Xingling, a proposal… A successful proposal means… the wedding night… um…”
He was being quite forward.
In reality, the only thing supporting Cheng Che’s audacity was Hua Xin’s remark of “It doesn’t hurt.”
If it doesn’t hurt, then what’s there to fear?
In the past few days, Cheng Che anxiously watched several serious “educational” videos that Hua Xin sent at three times the speed. He also went to the pharmacy in advance to buy the necessary items.
He didn’t buy those “Du×s” things because… he didn’t know the size.
Moreover, he wasn’t a girl, so even if Lin Xingling didn’t wear it, there shouldn’t be any problems…
Tonight is his eighteenth birthday, the day he officially becomes an adult. He had already prepared everything in the bathroom, waiting for Lin Xingling to say the word.
Everything was ready, only lacking Lin Xingling.
…
That child is so naive…
Lin Xingling pulled his hand back and sighed, “Let’s go to sleep, goodnight.”
Is that it? Is it over just like that? Huh?!
At this moment, Cheng Che wore a face as if he had eaten bitter melon, pouting, “You haven’t… haven’t said that… um, you want…”
“What do you want?” Lin Xingling teased him deliberately.
Cheng Che pursed his lips and enunciated each word, “I want, to keep, my innocence, in this world.”
The room’s lights flickered as if the voltage was unstable.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become awkward, Lin Xingling quickly intervened, “You silly brat, you’re still young. Those things can wait until after we’re married. For now, just go to sleep.”
As he spoke, he ruffled Cheng Che’s hair, going with the grain~
Cheng Che grumbled, “Charity said…”
Stars, that’s not appropriate…
Blood-spraying behavior.
“Tsk…”
Lin Xingling frowned and said, “After Sunday’s match, I’ll deal with him. Now, you obediently go to sleep, alright?”
Charity: Danger!
It seemed like there would be no benefits to be gained tonight…
Reluctantly, Cheng Che obediently went to sleep—on the condition that he shared the same bed with Lin Xingling.
To accommodate that, Lin Xingling specifically found a large blanket in the closet.
“Sweet dreams… wife…”
He, he, he, he… He called me his wife! Lin Xingling’s deep voice echoed clearly in Cheng Che’s ears, causing his face to turn as red as a tomato.
It’s one thing to be playful, but as soon as Lin Xingling says something affectionate, Cheng Che can’t handle it.
Lin Xingling turned off the light and casually turned on a night light.
The person he likes is sleeping face-to-face with him in the same bed… locking eyes with each other, Cheng Che awkwardly coughed.
…
Sleeping, the feeling of the ring on the middle finger of his left hand kept distracting him, making it impossible to focus and rest.
Every time Cheng Che closed his eyes, he imagined the appearance of the engagement ring…
A diamond, a four-cornered star.
That was the birthday gift he picked for Lin Xingling.
Lin Xingling asked, “Does it have any symbolic meaning?”
Cheng Che replied, “It represents luck.”
Meeting you was my luck.
Lin Xingling remembered it. He used practical actions to prove to Cheng Che: Meeting you is my lifelong fortune.
Even in my past life.
“…Hmm?” A gentle pressure on his forehead woke Cheng Che up, and he saw that it was Lin Xingling.
Lin Xingling kissed his forehead.
Seemingly surprised, Lin Xingling asked, “Can’t sleep, little brat?”
“I’m tired, but I can’t… can’t fall asleep.” Cheng Che grabbed the waistband of his pants under the covers, curled his knees against Lin Xingling’s legs, and hugged him with the same intention as before.
He really wanted to give himself to him.
Hua Xin had said that when a man sees someone he likes, he usually can’t control his emotions and wants to pounce on them immediately.
But Lin Xingling was even perfunctory when kissing himself…
There was no doubt it was true love, but… could his husband be frigid?!
After living two lifetimes, finally experiencing a relationship, could the rest of his life be devoid of any passion or excitement?
Cheng Che couldn’t accept that.
Lin Xingling lightly kissed his mouth and said, “I’ll make you a cup of milk tea, drink it and sleep well, okay?”
“…Mmm.”
In that instant, Cheng Che felt like maybe it wasn’t so difficult to accept after all.
If they didn’t do it, they didn’t do it. As long as he loved me, as long as he continued to love me.
The Lin Xingling I love.
…
After drinking the milk tea, Cheng Che quickly fell into a deep sleep on the bed… Lin Xingling guiltily touched his face, his expression filled with tenderness.
The little brat was too restless. Without giving him something to settle down, he couldn’t sleep at all.
“I apologize.”
Although they were already a confirmed couple, Lin Xingling still approached cautiously.
As if on thin ice, as if walking a tightrope.
…Luckily, he wasn’t being overly sensitive. He pushed aside the blanket and other coverings and got straight to the point.
First was the body, smooth and soft, just like a delicate marshmallow with a hint of sweetness.
If you sniffed carefully, there was also a faint milk fragrance.
Inexperienced, that’s what it meant.
Lin Xingling, using the light from a small night light, saw Cheng Che’s eyes turn red, and in his heart, he silently recited the Buddhist mantra “Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, sensation, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also like this.”
Then, resolutely and shyly, he hid in the embrace of the little brat and kissed him.
Kisses from his wife~ Cuddles from his wife~
“Hmm…”
Cheng Che felt uncomfortable being sucked on, squirming his body to free himself.
But Lin Xingling held him down, only giving him a peck before losing his strength.
Unconsciously, he held onto his head as if welcoming him.
No marks should be left…
Before the string of reason in his head snapped, Lin Xingling let go of him.
Next was the little bud, soft and delicate, just like himself.
It was a beautiful light pink color, obviously not used often.
Did this child have no worldly desires at all?
Lin Xingling touched his little belly, which was soft. If he pressed hard, he could feel the results of his workouts.
—Abdominal muscles, although not very visible.
This child didn’t have any natural talent for fitness, his abdominal muscles didn’t develop, but he had a v-cut.
So cute, I want to touch it again.
No… let’s focus…
Finally thinking of doing the last important thing, Lin Xingling helped Cheng Che turn over and shyly bit his lip.
Look…
Lin Xingling: |·_·`)
He extended his index finger to touch, and the little brat had indeed made preparations, with lubrication that had a lavender scent.
But he didn’t buy that one…
A flaw, it was like having milk tea without a straw.
“Mmm…Xing, Xingling…”
Hearing Cheng Che murmuring his name in his dream, Lin Xingling immediately withdrew his hand, relieved:
Is the little kitten having a nightmare?
Cheng Che furrowed his brows and grumbled a few times before falling back into a deep sleep, but Lin Xingling didn’t have the mood to continue.
He wanted him to have a good night’s sleep.
…
Cheng Che gave Lin Xingling a strange feeling.
Tonight, on his beloved baby’s first dawn as an adult, he couldn’t sleep.
Lin Xingling pondered a painful question:
How could such a delicate and refined little flower accommodate it all?
After much thought, he began to feel sorry for him again.
…I feel sorry for the little brat. My child is really suffering. I should be nicer to him.
