They each had a large bucket loaded to the brim, and they were ready to head to the cashier to pay.

Yu Zhaohan thought that Shi Du would be recognized by fans wherever he went, and would take photos and post curses on the Internet. He approached Shi Du quickly and said, “Wait a minute, let me observe.”

“Don’t worry,” Shi Du said, “I’ve already observed it, there’s no problem.”

There were no other customers in the convenience store except them. Sitting behind the cashier was an aunt who looked about fifty. If she could recognize him, he would dye his hair green.

Yu Zhaohan believed it.

The checkout process went very smoothly. The aunt was immersed in the recently popular idol drama and scanned the code skillfully without even looking at them.

During the wait, Yu Zhaohan couldn’t help but glance at the lady’s phone a few times. The female lead in the idol drama was so cute that he silently noted the show’s name.

In order to protect the environment and save money, they did not buy plastic bags and put all the purchased items in buckets. There were almost no people on the road in the early morning hours in winter. Yu Zhaohan loosened his scarf, exhaling a breath that turned into a white mist as he spoke, “Shi Du, will we go to bed when we get home?”

Shi Du had already become accustomed to Yuyu’s brain circuit, glanced at him calmly and said: “Guess.”

Yu Zhaohan fell into contemplation.

They had flown from Shanghai to Beijing early in the morning, then worked on decorating the entertainment room, came out to their mom, and finally faced a challenging boss fight. It could be said that they had a busy day. They were so tired that normally, they should just wash up and sleep as soon as they got home.

But…

Yu Zhaohan looked at his boyfriend who was not yet twenty years old and said, “I guess we will.”

Shi Du smiled: “It’s good that you know.”

Yu Zhaohan asked again, “So, do we do it as soon as we get home? As soon as I enter, you press me against the door, lift me up face to face, or let me use the door as support, and you come in from behind…”

Shi Du couldn’t calm down at this moment: “Whatever you want me to do.” His face blushed slightly, “No, Yuyu, you don’t have to go into such detail?”

“I’m just thinking, if you’re in a hurry, you can put things in your pocket first,” Yu Zhaohan explained casually, “Otherwise, when we’re in the heat of the moment, and I’m all prepared, you’ll have to dig things out from a pile of toothbrushes and towels in the bucket… Hmm, isn’t that scene not very handsome?”

Shi Du: “.”

Yu Zhaohan continued: “Of course, if you’re not in a hurry, we can tidy up a bit after we get home and then…”

Shi Du suddenly put the water bucket on the ground with a thud, his face tense, “Wait for me.”

Yu Zhaohan held his bucket and stood aside to watch his boyfriend bend down, take things out of the bucket, and put it into his coat pocket.

Shi Du originally wanted to do this and that as soon as they entered the house, especially since they hadn’t unlocked the standing position yet. But unexpectedly, Yu Zhaohan predicted it in advance, so he decided not to.

So, on the first night in their new home, the two of them achieved harmony on the sofa like adults. When Shi Du undressed, he purposely placed the coat close by.

The heating in the house was turned up very high, so even wearing short sleeves would not make them feel cold. Both of them, having just finished exercising, were covered in sweat. Yu Zhaohan lay on his boyfriend’s abdominal muscles, his wet eyelashes drooping, saying, “Shi Du, the feeling of getting into bed is just like that. Why are we still enthusiastic every time?”

“What do you mean ‘just like that’?” Shi Du was a little unhappy when the happiest thing was questioned. He rubbed Yu Zhaohan’s hair a little harder, He rubbed Yu Zhaohan’s hair a bit forcefully and said, “Don’t say these things every time during the intimate time, okay? I saw you were quite satisfied just now.”

Yu Zhaohan stared at the ceiling lamp, saying blankly, “I was really satisfied just now, but now emptiness is also real emptiness, and these two are not conflicting.”

Shi Du asked, “Will you do it next time then?”

Yu Zhaohan said, “I will.”

Yu Zhaohan’s response was so straightforward that Shi Du didn’t know whether he should continue to be annoyed.

It had been a week since the finals, and after seven or eight times, he gradually summed up the characteristics of his wife in bed.

Obedient, passionate, never hiding his feelings. Even if he was too shy to look at him, when he asked him if he was comfortable, he would honestly tell him, “It’s comfortable.”

Perhaps he had saved the galaxy in his past life, allowing him to have such a wife in this life.

But if he has to look for it, he could still find fault in Yuyu. For example, Yuyu talked too much beforehand, predicting everything he was going to do. Another example was that after the intimate time was more severe than a normal guy, each time, right after they finished, Yu Zhaohan had an expression of no worldly desires, with hollow eyes, taking almost half an hour to recover.

But once Yu Zhaohan recovered from the indifferent phase, she would become enthusiastic about getting into bed again, so it was just a minor issue.

Yu Zhaohan, with a cold expression, was carried by Shi Du to the bathroom for a shower, and then it was the real sleeping time for the couple.

As convenient as the convenience store was, it didn’t sell blankets. The two lay in bed covered with coats, feeling a bit hot because of the overly effective heating.

Yu Zhaohan used Shi Du’s coat as a blanket, enveloped in the familiar scent of the boy, which was comforting, but it still didn’t feel comfortable without a real blanket.

Shi Du casually said, “If I had known, I would have asked my mom to bring us a blanket.”

“No, Shi Du, you must not. Don’t tell your mom about this. Otherwise, she will definitely think that the two idiots can’t take care of themselves and each other, and then she will be determined to break us up.”

“You’re right.” Shi Du had to admit that Yu Zhaohan had suddenly become sharp, “But I’m not a useless person. I can cook, and my food is quite delicious.”

Yu Zhaohan comforted his younger brother, saying, “Yes, yes, you’re amazing. I think we need to prove to your mom that we are not immature young people, and we can live well together.”

Speaking of the latter, a hint of doubt involuntarily crept into Yu Zhaohan’s tone. He wanted to speak confidently, but the reality now was that he was lying in bed with his boyfriend without a blanket.

When he was still in school, his parents and a nanny took care of his daily life. Later, when he joined the professional scene, there were housekeepers at the base. Even in the year when Rh was struggling, there was still Old Tan playing the role of a housekeeper. The daily necessities, like groceries and cooking, were never something he needed to worry about, making him almost forget that preparing household items for a new home was as important as playing games.

As for Shi Du, it was even more so. Being a young master from a wealthy family, expecting him to live a sensible life was not as reliable as relying on oneself.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhaohan solemnly said, “Goodnight, Shi Du. Tomorrow we’ll continue decorating our small marital home.”

Shi Du’s heart sank and he said slowly: “This house is indeed a bit small. Give me some more time, I’ll work hard for a few years, and I’ll get you a bigger one, definitely bigger than the villa my parents live in.”

“I don’t mind it being small,” Yu Zhaohan said, “I just called it a ‘little marital home’ to be cute.”

“…Thank you, little darling.”

The next day, they once again entered the mode of crazy online shopping. This time, both of them learned their lesson and only bought essential items. Pillows, blankets, laundry detergent, pots and pans, soy sauce, vacuum cleaner, electric kettle, hairdryer… After a busy session, their 200-square-meter flat could finally meet the daily needs of the young couple.

Shi Du even bought rice and vegetables, claiming that he wanted his mom to see his proud life skills. Then he realized there was no place to put the rice, and Yu Zhaohan immediately placed an impromptu order for a rice box.

Yu Zhaohan originally wanted to help Shi Du wash the vegetables, but Shi Du asked him to play by himself and just wait for dinner. Yu Zhaohan stood in the kitchen and refused to leave: “But I want to stick to you.”

Shi Du smiled and said, “Okay, then you can help me start the live broadcast.”

Shi Du used to be half a food blogger. When he wasn’t busy with training, he often live-streamed cooking and eating. His mom was also his fan, and every time he went live, his mom would definitely come and even give tips of 18,000 yuan each time.

Yu Zhaohan set up the phone, making an OK gesture and said, “You’re good to go, Shi Du.”

The popularity of R.H’s handsome brother’s popularity was not to be underestimated. Even for a spontaneous live broadcast that fans were unaware of in advance, the popularity immediately rose to the top of the platform’s hot list following its launch.

Timeless, wearing simple sportswear, appeared in the live broadcast room refreshingly: “I haven’t seen you for a while, you haven’t forgotten me, right?” The hand that the young man usually used to hold the mouse was now holding a white radish, “I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll treat you to Radish Braised Beef Brisket.”

Yu Zhaohan cooperated and zoomed in on Shi Du’s hand.

Shi Du’s hands were the epitome of “E-Sports hands,” with distinct joints, long and agile fingers, making Fish Fish feel a bit restless, wanting to be played with by him.

Thousands of barrage messages filled the screen. Shi Du casually glanced at them and sensed that something was wrong.

[May I ask Timeless, where were you from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m. this morning, who were you with, and do you have an alibi?]

[Timeless, damn it, I’ll never forgive you for stealing my husband!]

[I’m 28 and still a virgin. Timeless, on what grounds do you have? I won’t acknowledge you as my brother anymore. Get lost.]

[I’m a fan of Timeless’s sister and also Shine’s wife. Can someone tell me how I should address them in the future?]

Shi Du: “?”

Shi Du: “What are you talking about?”

[Pretending. Keep pretending [Scorn][Scorn]]

[Brothers, come and see, someone here did the deed and doesn’t admit it, still pretending to be innocent!]

[I’m so jealous, really, I’m so jealous!]

Shi Du put down the radish and said, “Wait a moment,” then walked out of the camera.

Yu Zhaohan didn’t know why and drew a question mark in the air. Shi Du pulled him into the entertainment room and asked, “Did we get photographed again yesterday?”

Yu Zhaohan was stunned and confused: “No way? Didn’t you say that you had observed that there was no problem?”

Shi Du said: “Yes, and if we were really photographed, Old Tan wouldn’t be completely silent.”

As soon as he finished speaking, their phones simultaneously received a message. It was a message in the team group, but the speaker was not Old Tan, but Qi Xian.

[Qi Xian: Old Tan’s blood pressure is a bit high. He’s lying in his room now. I’ll be hosting this meeting on his behalf.]

[Qi Xian: First question, it’s nothing for the captain and his brother to go shopping at a convenience store at two o’clock in the morning, but why did you stay in front of the shopping shelf of family planning supplies for so long? What are you doing there?]

[Timeless?.]

[Shine?.]

[Timeless?Picture]

Jiang Di silently sent a link: [Shine and Timeless came to Beijing? I saw them in a convenience store buying a lot of things! Here’s the evidence.]

[This silver-gradient-like gray fur, the earring on the earlobe, and the two small earrings on the upper ear – it’s definitely Timeless!]

[And the black-haired guy next to Timeless, shorter by half a head. These legs, this waist, this temperament. Don’t think I can’t recognize you just because you covered your face with a scarf, my husband!]

[They bought a lot of things, and there are even two big buckets. OP, can you peek and see what’s in the buckets?]

[Wait, brothers! Look at the shopping shelf in front of them. Is it specifically for family planning products?]

[What the heck? What the heck! Did Rh Double C finally get into bed???]

[Is it possible that these are just two guys who look a lot like Shine and Timeless? Forget it, maybe I’m just deluding myself.]

Yu Zhaohan enlarged the photo and looked at it carefully, and suddenly a chill ran down his spine.

“The angle of this photo, the OP should be near us, but we all observed and found that there were only two of us in the convenience store at that time.”

Shi Du’s expression became serious: “I also remember there was no one else.”

“Could it be that the OP is not a person but… a ghost?” Yu Zhaohan said with a trembling voice. “Even ghosts are our fans, it’s terrifying. Timeless, you really have some curse on you.”

Shi Du: “.”

All members of R.H held an emergency meeting during the holiday for the first time, and even the small boss participated. Words can no longer express everyone’s inner excitement, and the video conference was held.

Except for Double C and Stone, everyone else in R.H was still at the base, crowded into Qi Xian’s lens, and Jiang Di took up most of the screen.

Yu Zhaohan asked: “Where is Old Tan?”

Jiang Di moved aside, and Yu Zhaohan saw Old Tan lying on the bed, using an oxygen mask to breathe.

Shi Du: “…It can’t be true.”

For the two involved, being recognized by fans was already common. Shi Du was already fed up with it; he could just come out, and they weren’t afraid.

When Old Tan heard this, his eyes widened and he struggled to get up, but Lu Youshan pushed him back: “Can you calm down a little?”

Things were changing, who would have thought that one day Lu Youshan would hold Old Tan down and make him calm down.

Li Yuexi’s background was a basketball court. The little boss was sweating profusely as if he had just finished playing basketball. He asked: “When did you come to Beijing? Why didn’t you tell us? My brother and I could have treated you to a meal.”

Cheese softly said, “Little boss, why are you so calm? Aren’t you afraid that the captain and his brother’s fans will turn against you?”

In the background of Stone, there was a fresh farmhouse courtyard, and a big yellow dog wagging its tail non-stop around him. “I think the fans are all good; they won’t.”

Li Yuexi smiled and said: “I’ve already thought about it, let’s just say that I invited Shine and Timeless to come to Beijing for two days. They stayed at my house and didn’t bring anything with them, so they went to buy them temporarily. As for family planning products…” The little boss’s face turned red, his eyes dodging as he coughed twice, “It can also be said that they brought it for me.”

Old Tan’s ashen eyes regained brilliance.

Qi Xian said enthusiastically: “The R.H boss is so powerful that he sends his own double C to deliver condoms to him late at night?”

Li Yuexi: “…”

“No.” Yu Zhaohan rejected it without thinking. The little boss and his wife had taught him and Shi Du so much; how could they let them take the blame.

Shi Du justified: “We only stood there for a while, and it must be assumed we were buying a condom? Don’t imagine too much, thanks.”

Qi Xian raised his eyebrows: “Just say whether you bought a condom or not.”

Shi Du smiled: “Since when did Brother Xian become so talkative?”

Yu Zhaohan said: “It’s not a big deal; we can come out to the fans.”

Old Tan started to scream and struggle again. Qi Xian came to his side and bent down to listen.

“He asked you to take it easy. If you want to come out, don’t come out now. He also wants to give himself a few more days off. Take it slow; at least wait for his blood pressure to come down.” Qi Xian looked at Old Tan with pity, “He doesn’t have the energy to help you with public relations now.”

Cheese asked: “Do the captain and little brother still need to explain to the fans?”

Qi Xian muttered: “In my opinion, you don’t admit it, don’t deny it, don’t bring it up proactively, and don’t reject it proactively. Wait until the fans tacitly acknowledge that you’re real. When you come out later, the earthquake in the E-sports circle might be much smaller.”

Old Tan sucked in the oxygen bottle and nodded repeatedly, and gave Qi Xian a trembling thumbs up.

After the meeting, Shi Du returned to the live broadcast room.

[You’re back. Have you figured out how to explain it?]

[Let me hear how Timeless is going to argue]

[No matter how you argue about your affair with Shine, it’s all true]

Shi Du stood by the kitchen counter, looking lazy as if it were not a big deal. “Ask whatever you want to ask; don’t disturb my captain.”

[Why did you go to Beijing with Shine, and why not with others? What about Cheese and the others?]

“Because I have the best relationship with the captain, and I only like to be with the captain—Who is Cheese?”

[Why did you buy a condom?]

“Just curious, never seen it before, so I took a closer look, is that okay?”

[Do you really like Shine?]

“Nonsense, of course, I like him. Don’t you like him?”

[Is my wife fragrant, soft, and are his lips cool or warm??? Has he ever told you he loves you!]

Shi Du raised his eyebrows.

The “wife” in the fans’ mouths was sitting cross-legged on the carpet they picked out together, watching an idol drama. In front of the huge TV screen, Yu Zhaohan looked small. When he saw the male and female protagonists in the idol drama kissing, he hesitated for a moment and moved forward so that he could see it more clearly.

Shi Du couldn’t help but laugh.

[??? Something’s wrong; why do you have such a nostalgic expression?]

Shi Du walked towards the living room: “You ask too much, it’s annoying, I’m not chatting anymore.”

When Yu Zhaohan saw Shi Du, he asked with his mouth, “What’s wrong?”

While the camera was blocked by a hand, Shi Du leaned down and kissed Yu Zhaohan’s lips.
