During the holiday after the finals, Yu Zhaohan followed Shi Du back to Beijing and stayed in their wedding room for two days.

The large flat floor has its own fine decoration, which was uniformly installed by the developer that catered to the tastes of middle-aged successful people, which felt a bit too mature for two esports players in their twenties.

Shi Du was going to use the few million he had left to renovate his home. This was a big project, so he should take his time and don’t rush. The top priority was to get the things he and Yu Zhaohan needed most.

It’s rare for the young lovers to have their brain circuits overlap outside of the game. The two of them were lying on the sofa shoulder to shoulder, each with a phone, they went on a crazy online shopping spree.

Shi Du: “I’ll buy two of the latest PS, Xbox, and NS each. They’ll be delivered tonight. What kind of controller does Fishy like?”

Yu Zhaohan: “I like pink. It’s annoying, Shi Du. The graphics card I want is out of stock everywhere again, and the computer case won’t be shipped for half a month. Annoying.”

Shi Du: “I have some internal channels. I’ll check for you later. Do you have any games in mind?”

Yu Zhaohan: “There are many…”

On this day, the two of them were busy collecting express delivery and assembling game consoles and computers. They enjoyed it as much as playing with toys and did not feel tired at all.

The originally empty entertainment room was occupied by two large space capsules. The glass cabinets were filled with game cartridges and peripherals. The newly assembled desktop computer also used the best graphics card, so it could play any game masterpiece.

Both of them are game enthusiasts, and while “Destination” was undoubtedly their favorite, they wanted to play something different during this rare break.

Yu Zhaohan looked at the world he and Shi Du had conquered together, feeling full of accomplishment.

This room would be the place where he and his boyfriend played together in the future.

Besides renovating their wedding house, the two had other plans during the holiday, such as coming out to their families.

No matter what Yu Zhaohan does that he has never done before, he will first search for theoretical knowledge on the Internet and make detailed plans. After watching and summarizing many coming-out cases shared by both the gay and lesbian communities, he discovered a pattern, which was to approach it gradually.

Most parents may reject this at first, but as long as they stand firm and slowly work with their parents, their parents will eventually accept it.

Yu Zhaohan shared his summary with Shi Du. While Shi Du was gaming with a controller, he seemed preoccupied, “Oh, this, I’ve already laid the groundwork.”

Yu Zhaohan was slightly stunned, “Huh?”

Shi Du handed him the phone, “I’m battling a boss. You can check my chat history with my mom, Yuyu.”

“Sure.” Yu Zhaohan opened Shi Du’s WeChat and clicked on Shi Du’s mother’s profile.

Two months ago.

Timeless: [Image] A couple kissing on the streets of France.

Mom: Aren’t these two guys? So open-minded overseas.

One month ago.

Timeless: Mom, I found out I don’t like girls.

Mom: I know, I know, you only like playing games. [Rolling eyes]

Timeless: .

One week ago.

Timeless: Mom, I think I like guys.

Mom:?

Mom: Call me!

Three days ago:

Timeless: Coming clean, no more pretending. I like guys. I have a boyfriend. [Smile]

Mom:…

Mom: Get back home. Don’t force me to go to Shanghai to catch you!

Yu Zhaohan was worried after reading it: “Shi Du, your mother told you to ‘go back home’. Your mom is so fierce, unlike mine, who just pampers me.”

Shi Du said, “Although my mom isn’t particularly open-minded, she’s soft-hearted, and she cares about me, so it’s not difficult to handle her.”

After Shi Du finished speaking, he was instantly killed by the big boss in the game, game over. Frowning, he was about to reload when he saw Yu Zhaohan looking thoughtful. He immediately pressed the pause button, put down the controller, and pulled Yu Zhaohan into his arms.

“What’s wrong?”

Yu Zhaohan said: “I’m thinking about how to get your mother to accept me.”

Shi Du said, “You don’t need to do anything because she’s into looks.”

Yu Zhaohan widened his eyes, “Why didn’t you say that earlier? If your mom is into looks, I don’t need to worry at all.”

Shi Du just laughed, “So confident?”

“Yes.” Yu Zhaohan felt relieved and picked up Shi Du’s controller, “I see you’ve been fighting this boss for ten minutes and still haven’t beaten it, what a noob, Timeless.”

Shi Du was playing a soul-type game. This kind of single-player game had features like high difficulty, bosses with insane damage, and frequent player deaths, making it suitable for players who enjoyed a challenge.

“Soul-type games, you know very well how they torture players.” Shi Du’s habit of always wanting to be strong kicked in, “If you can do it, then go ahead.”

So Yu Zhaohan took over. When Shi Du played, he casually glanced at it, and had a certain impression of the boss’s attack mechanism, coupled with his amazing reaction speed, he fought for five minutes and passed the level with a sliver of health left.

Yu Zhaohan put down the controller and looked at Shi Du silently.

Shi Du was quiet for ten seconds, covered his face, and said, “Please don’t tell others, wife.”

The frustrated brother was unexpectedly cute, and Yu Zhaohan couldn’t help but laugh.

The frustrated younger brother was unexpectedly cute, and Yu Zhaohan couldn’t help but laugh.

At this moment, the doorbell rang. Shi Du thought it was food delivery and opened the door to find his angry mother.

Shi Du raised his eyebrows, “Why are you here?”

“Yeah.”

Mother Shi snorted coldly: “Very good, I want to see who it is…”

“It’s me.” Yu Zhaohan peeked out from behind Shi Du, “Hello, Auntie.”

Mother Shi: “…”

The last time Mother Shi went to R.H’s base, she was quite impressed with Yu Zhaohan. Not for anything else, this kid was just too good-looking, even more handsome than the celebrities in the entertainment industry she paid attention to. That day, after going back, she even deliberately searched online for many pictures of the little captain.

Mother Shi tried to maintain a serious expression, but as soon as she met Yu Zhaohan’s eyes, even her seriousness couldn’t hold up.

“Hello, Little Captain.” Mother Shi smiled, “Auntie brought you some fruits.”

Yu Zhaohan’s lips curved, and the whole living room seemed to brighten up because of his smile, “Thank you, Auntie.”

In the guise of continuing to cut fruit, Shi Du pulled his mom into the kitchen, “If you have anything unpleasant to say, say it to me.”

Mother Shi took a deep breath, “Even if it’s the Little Captain, I don’t agree. Shi Du, you and the Little Captain are so young, you two…”

Shi Du interrupted her, “Are you mistaken, dear mom? I’m just informing you, I’m not seeking your approval.”

Mother Shi punched her son, “How can you talk to your mom like this?!”

Shi Du didn’t care how his mom messed around; it didn’t hurt at all, “Mom, be honest, my boyfriend is handsome, right? Don’t you like him?”

Mother Shi turned around and looked into the living room. The Little Captain was sitting properly on the sofa.

He raised his head, met her eyes, and smiled, charmingly.

Mother Shi: “…Handsome, I like it.”

Shi Du hugged his mother’s shoulder, smiling, “Then it’s settled.”

“How could I have given birth to such a wronged child like you?” Mother Shi frustratedly said, “This might work on me, but if your dad finds out…”

“Who cares about him,” Shi Du disagreed, “I have always liked my mom more since I was a child. As long as my mother accepts it.”

Mother Shi was in a daze: “You haven’t called me mom since elementary school.” It was either “Mother” or “Old Mom.” When her son called her that, she inexplicably felt ten years younger.

Mother Shi brought the sliced fruits to Yu Zhaohan, smiling, “Little Captain, try this melon, it’s very sweet.”

Yu Zhaohan thanked her, deciding to take the initiative. He tilted his head, making sure Mother Shi could see his face at the carefully adjusted angle, “Auntie, do you object to me dating Shi Du? Are you trying to break us up?”

Mother Shi was slightly stunned, subconsciously saying, “I don’t.”

Yu Zhaohan continued, “So, Auntie, are you agreeing that I become your daughter-in-law or son-in-law?”

Mother Shi, thrown off by Yu Zhaohan’s directness, stammered, “I… I haven’t. I just feel that you are both so young, and your thinking isn’t mature enough…”

Yu Zhaohan looked expectant, “So, when we grow up, Auntie will agree, right? Thank you, Auntie.”

Mother Shi: “…”

Mother Shi watched the two young men eat the fruits she picked, a bit dazed. Then she walked away, inviting the Little Captain to come over for dinner next time. Before leaving, she couldn’t help but sigh at the captivating charm.

Today’s coming out was not in Yu Zhaohan’s plan, but it unexpectedly went smoothly. Although Mother Shi hadn’t admitted that he was Shi Du’s wife, she showed no intention of breaking them up and didn’t scold him.

Yu Zhaohan happily continued playing games. He invited Shi Du to join him, but Shi Du seemed distracted.

Yu Zhaohan asked, “What’s on your mind?”

Shi Du sighed, “I’m thinking about what kind of guy your parents would like.” He scratched his hair irritably, “Damn, I’m already starting to get nervous.”

This time, it was Yu Zhaohan who comforted Shi Du: “Don’t be nervous, they are good people. As long as you don’t say bad words, my parents will like you.”

Shi Du choked up: “…I believe you.”

After defeating a big boss, Yu Zhaohan was ready to take a shower. The entertainment room was close to the master bedroom. If they got tired of playing games, they could walk a few steps to the adjacent room for a bath and sleep…

Yu Zhaohan thought for a moment and said, “Shi Du, it’s terrible.”

Shi Du: “What?”

“It seems like we are truly a stupid couple,” Yu Zhaohan said awkwardly, “We didn’t buy toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, shower gel, or bedding… We didn’t buy any daily necessities. How are we going to sleep tonight?”

Shi Du: “.”

At two in the morning, the two put on their coats, covered their faces with scarves, and went downstairs.

There was a 24-hour convenience store at the entrance of the community where they could buy basic daily necessities. Shi Du grabbed two of each item, and when he turned around, he found that his boyfriend was missing. After searching for a long time, he finally found Yu Zhaohan in a corner.

“Yuyu, do you still need to buy…” Shi Du approached and saw what was in front of Yu Zhaohan, laughing, “Lustful Yuyu.”

Yu Zhaohan’s face was expressionless: Do you want to do it, Timeless? If not, then don’t buy.”

Shi Du was equally blunt, “I want.”

Before, the props were readily available in the hotel. This was the first time the young couple bought such things offline. Common brands were available in the convenience store, and Yu Zhaohan hesitated about which one to buy.

Shi Du recalled for a while, picked up a box and a bottle from the shelf, and threw them into the shopping basket, “This should be good.”

“Should be?” Yu Zhaohan asked curiously, “We haven’t used this brand before.”

“We’ve used which brand? We’ve used the one provided by the hotel,” Shi Du said, “But last time, I accidentally took the wrong luggage from the little boss and his wife, and I saw that they were using this one.”

Yu Zhaohan suddenly realized, “You’re clever.”

Using the same brand as the mentors shouldn’t go wrong.
