Above the crown, stop playing games and play my e-sports

Mother Li smiled and said, "It took me a lot of effort to collect all four paintings. As expected, the feeling of looking at each painting individually and looking at all four paintings together is different."

Mu Hanxi's attention was completely attracted by the painting. After hearing what Li's mother said, it was true. He couldn't help but turn around and give Li's mother a thumbs up. "Senior sister, it really is you who can wake me up from my dream."

"The four seasons of a year constitute a lifetime. Mr. Mo has painted the meaning of life." Mu Hanxi said as he looked at the painting carefully.

Mother Li continued, "Yes, although we cannot decide the length of our lives, we can decide how to live. As long as we don't regret it, we can still live a wonderful and carefree life."

Mother Li looked at Li Zeyan and said, "Yanbao, this road may be bumpy and there may be many doubts. If you really make a decision, you must face it bravely, understand?"

Li Zeyan understood the hidden meaning of Li's mother's words, and also understood Li's mother's good intentions. He looked at Li's mother with warm eyes and said firmly: "I don't regret it!"

Looking at Li Zeyan's determined face, Li's mother felt a little sour in the tip of her nose. She hugged Li Zeyan distressedly and said, "Okay, then mom will always support you."

"Thank you, Mommy." Li Zeyan hugged his mother back, his heart burning.

Mother Li smiled and patted Li Zeyan on the back, then stepped back and turned to look at Mu Hanxi and said, "Xiaoxi, you are very brave. You have walked out of that thorny bush. The future is bright."

"Yes, I will, senior sister." Mu Hanxi responded with a smile.

"My little treasure, I like men just like you. Senior sister hopes you can have a chat with Ayan." Mother Li looked at Mu Hanxi with a slightly apologetic look in her eyes.

Mu Hanxi naturally saw the apology in Li's mother's eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, leave it to me. Senior sister, you don't have to be like this. I have already moved on. Besides, why should I care about the world's eyes? I am who I am."

After hearing what Mu Hanxi said, Mother Li could see that he had really come to terms with it, and she smiled with relief.

Looking at the two of them, he said, "Then you guys chat. I haven't packed the clothes that I prepared for Ah Yan to take away yet."

After saying that, Mother Li turned around and walked out of the collection room, leaving space for Li Zeyan and Mu Hanxi.

Li Zeyan and Mu Hanxi looked at each other in bewilderment in the collection room.

Mu Hanxi observed Li Zeyan and thought, "I have to say, after not seeing you for a few years, Senior Sister's little son is getting more and more handsome."

Li Zeyan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, and said first: "Hey, Brother Xi, don't look at me like that."

Mu Hanxi retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "Ayan, I haven't seen you for a few years, are you in college now?"

When asked, Li Zeyan replied, "I'm on leave from school. I joined an e-sports team and am currently playing in a competition."

Speaking of playing games, Li Zeyan's eyes lit up instantly, and he continued, "We are currently playing in the domestic competition, and the national finals will be in four days. After the domestic competition, we will go to the world competition!"

Hearing Li Zeyan say this, Mu Hanxi was surprised and said, "I didn't expect you to play e-sports. You have personality! Are you usually very tired?"

"Fortunately, I don't feel tired. I am very happy to be able to do what I love. As long as I can win the championship, everything is worth it." When saying this, Li Zeyan seemed to be shining.

"I can see that you light up when talking about e-sports. Do you want to hear my story?" Mu Hanxi asked with a nostalgic look on his face.

Judging from the conversation just now, it shouldn't be a happy thing. Li Zeyan asked with a tangled look on his face: "Is it... about liking boys?"

Mu Hanxi smiled and looked at Li Zeyan who was in a dilemma and said, "I want to say it, do you want to hear it?"

Li Zeyan saw that Mu Hanxi did not look uncomfortable at all, so he nodded: "Okay."

Mu Hanxi recalled and said, "I found out that I liked boys when I was a freshman. At that time, I had just been in the Academy of Fine Arts for half a year. My master saw my talent for painting and made an exception to accept me as his last disciple."

"Once, several of my seniors from the Academy of Fine Arts blocked me in the toilet. They asked me how a freshman could be appreciated by the master. I was... young and hot-tempered at the time, so I argued with them."

"Afterwards, I started arguing with them, so they wanted to teach me a lesson. Several of them held me down and wouldn't let me leave. To prevent me from escaping, I was completely naked."

Speaking of this, Mu Hanxi looked painful.

Hearing this, Li Zeyan couldn't help but said, "Brother Xi, please stop talking."

Mu Hanxi shook his head and smiled at Li Zeyan reassuringly, saying, "No, I want to finish."

"Yeah." Li Zeyan bit his lip and hummed softly.

Mu Hanxi continued, "Later, when they saw that I was still stubborn and felt unsatisfied, they...began to have bad intentions towards me and took advantage of me, wanting to see me humiliated."

"Even, even... they didn't let me go, and I... shamefully acted in front of them in an inappropriate manner."

Li Zeyan felt uncomfortable when he heard this.

Mu Hanxi chuckled and continued, "Haha~ When they saw my reaction, they seemed to have found pleasure, becoming even more unscrupulous, torturing me even more vigorously while laughing."

"They kept saying things that were unbearable to the ear. I could only helplessly remain under their control, unable to move an inch. I was forced to listen to their insults and endure the humiliation."

"They manipulated me again and again until I couldn't...couldn't...any more. They stopped humiliating me."

"Since that day, I have clearly known that I like men and I only respond to men."

"After this incident, rumors spread in the art academy that I was a homosexual. Some even spread rumors that I was accepted as the master's last disciple because of my body."

"Although homosexuality is common in art academies and is not so unacceptable, most people still look at it with discrimination."

"Later, this matter reached the ears of my master and senior sisters, and they came forward to help me clarify it, but I couldn't get over it in my heart. I will never forget the humiliation that day."

"My family members were ashamed of me and thought I was sick. They wanted to cut off all ties with me and told me that I could only enter their home after I was cured of the disease."

"Faced with the abuse and accusations from the people closest to me, and the strange looks from people around me, I fell into self-doubt and really felt that I was sick."

"I started to torture myself and suffered from severe depression. The worst time, I swallowed a whole bottle of sleeping pills. I once thought that if I died like this, I might be free and no longer have to care about other people's eyes and rumors."

At this point, Mu Hanxi paused, looked at Li Zeyan and said, "It was Senior Sister, your mother. She saved me, and I was in the hospital when I woke up."

"Later, I heard from my master that he asked my senior sister to take me to the art exhibition. My senior sister called me but no one answered. She came directly to my rental house. She knocked on the door but there was no response. She broke into the house and I was saved."
