PUBG Online Romance of the Century

Edited by Noks

Yi Ran, who didn't even go on his trip, heard that his Ge had woken up. At first, he had planned to spend a few days with a group of his friends. Upon getting the news of the accident, he had returned his ticket without even thinking about it. As soon as he woke up, he burst into the hospital with a runny nose and tears in his eyes.

Inexplicably, the ward was clean and empty.

Yi Chen had gone back to the Yi residence early in the morning. Mother Yi had asked someone to cook him a table full of dishes, but still couldn't be at ease even after being solicitous for half a day.

"You really don't feel uncomfortable anywhere? And you had a full-body examination done? Come on, have more fish," Mother Yi said while putting more food on his plate.

Just then, her cell phone suddenly rang. She merely glanced at it and then directly hung up. "He hit you like this, but still dares to ask for help. Fat chance."

Yi Chen obediently ate some more fish and didn't say a word.

"Although it's a minor injury, don't go to the company at this time ba. Have a good rest at home first." Father Yi said, "I've already had your room cleaned. Stay at home first for these next few days, if anything happens, it'll be easier to deal with."

Yi Chen said, "Nothing will happen, I'll go back and stay at home."

"If you go back, mom will not be at ease, so just stay here first ba."

Yi Chen paused for a bit before he said, "I have a friend coming over in a few days. It's not convenient for me to entertain them here."

"Friend?" Mother Yi really couldn't think of anyone who would make her son want to entertain them himself. Women's intuition was too strong; she blinked and asked, "Man or woman?"

"Man."

"Oh." Mother Yi was a bit crestfallen. "Then you taking care of your guest doesn't conflict with staying here. You can also invite him to come here and have a meal, and mom will cook a meal for you guys herself."

Yi Chen still refused. "No."

Mother Yi still wanted to say something when the sound of a car engine rumbled outside. Before long, Yi Ran came hastily rushing in.

"Ge! Why didn't you give me a call when you left the hospital, I would have gone to pick you up ya!"

"No need for you to pick me up," said Yi Chen.

"You say that, but Xiao Ran having such a heart is already a rare and priceless thing. Come, Xiao Ran, sit down and eat." Mother Yi said, "Weren't you going to go on a trip for these next few days?"

Yi Ran really cared about his Ge. After all, he had idolized him since he was a child. He took a sip of soup and said, "Chen Ge has already been hit like this, how can I have any interest in going? I plan to live in his house these next few days to take care of him."

Mother Yi nodded. "…that would be good."

Yi Chen was ready to refuse, but upon hearing his mother acquiesce, he raised his eyebrows and didn't speak again.

After eating, they got in Yi Ran's car together.

Yi Ran started the car. "Ge, I have to go home to get some clothes. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have gone back to live at home a few days ago. It's really troublesome to move around…"

Yi Chen turned on his cellphone. "No need."

"Ah? Then what am I supposed to wear these next few days?" Yi Ran's eyes brightened. "Ge, you're going to buy me clothes?"

Yi Chen glanced at him and said, "You don't have to take care of me, just send me back."

"No can do, I promised my aunt."

"There's no room for you at home."

Yi Ran was puzzled. "Isn't there a guest room—"

"Someone's going to stay there."

Oh, then that would be a bit tricky.

Yi Ran turned the steering wheel, ready to go a different way.

After a while, when he finally realized what had been said, he was stunned and shouted, "Wait… Who?!"

Yi Chen was upset by the noise and frowned. "Are you a loudspeaker?"

"No, Ge, who's going to stay in your guest room ah?"

Since Yi Chen had bought the house and left to live by himself, Yi Ran had never seen anyone else stay in his Ge's house besides himself. Last time, when Cheng Ge cheated on and got blocked out of his house by someone, his Ge wouldn't even take Cheng Ge in!

Yi Chen said, "It's none of your business."

"If you don't tell me," Curiosity finally defeated his survival instinct, and for the first time, Yi Ran dared to threaten his Ge. "I-I'll tell my aunt about it and let her force you to return home."

Yi Chen looked sideways and laughed coolly. "Yi Ran, you have become promising."

Yi Ran replied, "Ge, tell me bei, I promise not to tell other people!"

There really was no reason to conceal this matter in the first place. Also, Yi Ran was the kind of person where if he didn't tell him, he may end up doing stupid things—like watching the house.

Yi Chen took back his gaze and said lightly, "Xiao Yan."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the person next to him take a deep breath.

"Ge," Yi Ran's eyes widened. "This time you're… serious ya?"

As soon as he asked this, Yi Ran felt that it wasn't quite right—His Ge had also never been casual about other people ya.

So he paused and asked, “So he’s really become my sister-in-law?”

“&#k2026;”

Yi Chen’s eyebrows twisted together. “What sister-in-law?”

“In Manyang, didn’t you guys&#k2014;”

“He was drunk, and I took him back to the hotel.” Yi Chen said, “That’s all.”

Yes.

If Xiao Yan hadn't told me about that day himself, I would have almost believed that.

Yi Ran thought this internally, but still replied quickly, "I know, I understand, then why is he coming here this time?"

When he asked this, the corner of Yi Chen's mouth inexplicably twitched, and it took a long time before he replied with a simple sentence.

"—He's in a hurry to visit me."

— —

Mo Nancheng thought that the words Yi Chen had said in the ward about "invite you out to eat next time" were just him being polite. After all, this bro of his was usually very busy. Recently, since it was also nearing the end of the year, you couldn't find any free time within a period of 8-10 days at least.

He hadn't expected to be invited out today after just having heard those words just yesterday.

"No, if you wanted to eat, we could just eat, why did we have to come here?" Mo Nancheng took the menu and covered his whole face.

Yi Chen asked, "Wasn't this the place you opened for your girlfriend?"

Mo Nancheng corrected him, "Ex-girlfriend."

"…"

Although he didn't say it, his friend's eyes were already full of the two words: slag man.

Mo Nancheng felt wronged. "How was I supposed to know that she has a special hobby that outsiders shouldn't know about. That day, she suddenly took out a black leather rope from the cabinet—the rope was thicker than my arm, I……"

"Shut up," Yi Chen interrupted him.

After they finished ordering, Mo Nancheng asked, "Okay ba, what did you come find me for ah?"

"Thanking you," Yi Chen said in a hard voice.

"…" Mo Nancheng felt uneasy all over. "N-no problem?"

"Also," Yi Chen entered the main topic he was concerned about, as he suddenly took out a binder. "Visiting Jincheng, what places are fun to visit?"

Mo Nancheng was dumbfounded. "Ha?"

Yi Chen repeated his question.

Mo Nancheng thought hard for a long time. "…Bars, clubs, golf courses?"

Yi Chen put some bite in his voice. "Fun, vacation, places."

"You mean tourist attractions? Definitely don't go, it's busy, and it's boring; it's only for tourists. Jincheng is a place with a developed entertainment industry, it's a pity not to enjoy those if you come here."

Just as Mo Nancheng wanted to ask who was going to visit Jincheng, he saw Yi Chen purse his lips and say, "He's still young, and it's not appropriate for him to go to those places."

"Young?" Mo Nancheng asked, "Who? How young?"

"This year, he's 20." Yi Chen said, "A friend."

No friend could have this special honor; Mo Nancheng understood everything in a flash.

He screwed up his face with a shocked expression. "20? Bro, he's younger than you by nearly a decade. If I'm scum, you're a beast ah!"

Yi Chen raised his eyes and spoke in a pissed off tone, "A decade? Should I get a tutor to teach you remedial math?"

Mo Nancheng laughed. "Okay… a young man ma, I also don't really know. Do you know what he usually likes? Just do what he likes."

He liked playing games.

Besides games… What else did he like?

"By the way," Mo Nancheng thought of something and gently pointed out, "StarTV's what, that annual gala. You get me an invitation to it bei."

"En, why are you coming?"

"I went to see your thing two days ago and found a very cute female anchor called Tuantuan or something… I've heard that video filters are very deceiving, so I just want to see the real person."

"Then don't come." Yi Chen said, "You can bring disaster on other people, but don't touch my employees."

Mo Nancheng: "…"

The next day, the StarTV anchor competition finally came to an end, and the list of winners was pinned high on the home page. Clicking on the name of an anchor would take you directly to their livestream, which was a good opportunity to attract some popularity. Many anchors had changed their livestream times because of this list.

At nine o'clock in the morning, there was only one anchor on the winners' list who wasn't streaming. The stream was called——

[yanxyan's stream: See you at 11:00.]

His fans felt aggrieved.

[Others anchors rushed to start streaming at 8 o'clock as soon as the winners' list was posted! My liking for this anchor is unshakeable but still, he won't start streaming until 11!!]

[Pride makes people take one step back, laziness makes people take ten steps back!]

[Congratulations to Xiao Yan for beheading laoshu and winning the Kills King of the Year!]

Yu Yan was having breakfast with Tuantuan in a shop when he heard the news of his winning.

"Ugh, I knew I shouldn't have signed up for the Anchor of the Year award or whatever, it would have been fine to just grab a little something off of some other award. It's all their fault for encouraging me, how could I beat the great God in the LoL section…" The woman was wearing suspender shorts and had her hair done up in two pigtails, looking cute and playful. She scrolled through the screen of her cellphone lazily. "But fortunately, banana fell behind me after getting his popularity points deducted. It's so cool to see that."

Tuantuan had arrived in Manyang yesterday. Yu Yan had received a lot of care from her, so naturally he invited her out for a meal.

Yu Yan replied, "Second place is also pretty powerful."

"That's true." Tuan Tuan blinked at him and continued, "You're more powerful, Kills King of the Year. Although it's a small award, it sounds pretty exotic ya. "

Yu Yan laughed and said, "Thank you. What time is your flight back?"

"Three in the afternoon. By the way, thank you for climbing with me yesterday ah… if I was by myself, I definitely wouldn't have had the guts, there were so many steps that I felt dizzy just looking at them," Tuanutan said. "The annual gala will be next month, you'll come ba? When you come to Jincheng, I will definitely host you well."

Yu Yan had received an invitation to the annual gala, but he still hadn't decided if he wanted to go or not.

He replied, "Alright, if there's a chance."

These two people both had outstanding looks, and so people around them kept sneaking glances at them as they were sitting in the restaurant.

Tuantuan was used to it, it was fine as long as she wasn't recognized by fans of her stream.

After breakfast, Tuantuan took out her beautiful cellphone, and her eyes curved as she said, "Come on, let's take a picture."

She was going to show-off to that group of people that she was someone who had met Xiao Yan in person!

Yu Yan let out an "en." He didn't have the habit of taking selfies, so all he knew was that he had to look up at the camera.

"Aiya, it's a selfie, not a livestream. Here…" Tuantuan chuckled, got up, and pushed herself into Yu Yan's side.

Yu Yan was stunned and wanted to step back to make room for her. However, Tuantuan looked up and leaned on his shoulder. "Smile—"

Yu Yan reflexively raised the corner of his mouth.

"Done!" After taking the picture, Tuantuan got up with satisfaction and stared at her phone, examining the picture. She said naturally, "So handsome, really."

"If I hadn't already made a vow to never betray 1YanTang, I would definitely chase you!"

Yu Yan choked and begged, "…Don't make fun of me."

Yu Yan was relieved to see Tuantuan off. He wasn't far from his home, and it wasn't time to start streaming yet, so he decided to walk back.

His cellphone surprised him with the sound of a notification.

1 had sent him a picture.

Yu Yan clicked it open to look at it. It was of a computer with a large, curved monitor. The totally enclosed water-cooled case emitted a blue light. There was an embossed level 3 helmet on the side, and it looked particularly cool placed against the light. There was also a complete set of top peripherals from a big brand. The overall price tag of the whole setup didn't look cheap.

This was the computer that Yi Chen had just asked someone to specially put together. From the top to the bottom, everything was top-quality.

He had never thought of letting the little anchor stay in a hotel. After all, work couldn't be left behind. If he let him stay in a hotel, he would have to keep running to an Internet cafe, which was inconvenient.

And with him living right under his nose, he would be more at ease.

Little Anchor: Did you change your computer?

1: En, just got it. Like it?

Yu Yan was at a loss. What does it have to do with him liking it or not?

But since he had already asked—

Little Anchor: Like it, the color is also very nice.

Yi Chen was satisfied. He turned to walk out of the guest room and sat on the sofa. Displayed on the laptop in front of him was a bunch of documents that his assistants had just sent him— Inventory of all of Jincheng's tourist attractions, guide to Jincheng's most popular eating, drinking and partying scenes, and the three must-eat delicacies of Jincheng.

He randomly opened one of them, which was illustrated and written in great detail.

1: Do you like eating spicy food?

Little Anchor: Huh? Really like it… What about you?

1: Not bad.

He took out a black leather notebook and wrote down the names of restaurants that had very spicy recommendations.

1: Like little animals?

Little Anchor: …So-so.

Zoo, aquarium—not going.

1: Sports?

Little Anchor: Don't like it very much.

No wonder he was so thin and so bony to the touch.

A swimming pool was arranged.

The page in front of him was quickly filled up halfway through. Yi Chen picked it up, looked at it, and was pretty satisfied.

Eating, drinking, and playing were all planned out now.

He was about to ask when the other party would come when a Weibo post was suddenly pushed to his cellphone.

He randomly clicked on it.

[Xiao Tuantuan: Back from praying for blessings in Manyang la~ I met a handsome and cute little Yanyan (yes, it's Yan not Yan!), and we climbed the mountain together, had a meal, and had a great time! Nanqi Temple lives in the mist, it's well-known, and I nearly died climbing up to it. @yanxyan next time you come to Jincheng I will definitely care~for~you! [Photo]]

The reason why he could see this Weibo post was because the person he followed had forwarded it.

[yanxyan: [/ laugh]]

He calmed down and clicked on the picture.

Although the young man's smile wasn't very natural, his appearance still won out. When he showed off his white teeth like that, he was particularly pleasing to the eyes.

The woman was leaning on his shoulder and smiling lovingly.

Yi Chen looked down and saw the most liked comment on top immediately.

[Good match! You two are together?!]

The cellphone, which was lying in his palm, was unable to understand how the expressionless person in front of him could be so strong. It felt as if it was about to be squeezed into disintegrating completely.

Yi Chen's eyebrows tightened as an inexplicable agitation coursed through him, giving him a headache.

He switched back to WeChat. Just as he was about to ask him, the phone suddenly rang.

The man at the other end said politely, "Hello, is this Mr. Yi? This is Shunfeng Express, I have a delivery for you. It has already been delivered to your door. Is it convenient for you to sign for it right now?"

Two minutes later, Yi Chen took a small box from the deliveryman.

The sender's name was written neatly: "Yu Yan."

With a calm expression, he took the box apart quickly. Under the many layers of packaging was a small wooden tube. He opened the little round cover on its top and looked inside.

A small yellow paper charm was lying inside, along with some incense ashes from the temple beside it. There was an incomplete seal and two small characters written on the paper.

"Peace and Safety".
