Chapter 22

A wet, glistening chest filled the entire view. The air was deathly still. This must be a dream! Yes, a dream, and I haven’t woken up yet. Yu Mi quickly shut his eyes, trying to go back to sleep, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t.

Three minutes later, he opened his eyes again, and there it was—the same bean, slightly darker in color, wet with his saliva. Was it just his imagination, or did it look swollen? There was also a very distinct circle of teeth marks around it.

Yu Mi: “…”

Did I actually bite someone else’s… someone else’s pecs?! Yu Mi felt like his world was collapsing, wishing he could just bash his head against the other person’s chest and die. Ahhh! How did I end up actually sucking on it?! He didn’t mean to actually do it! Well… maybe he did want to a little… but he never dared to think he’d actually suck on his senior’s!

Yu Mi stiffly lifted his head and met a pair of calm eyes. “You… were awake the whole time?” he asked, his voice trembling.

Qi You’an gave a soft “mm”: “I woke up with the first bite.”

Yu Mi’s face instantly turned red. What did “first bite” mean? Did it mean he bit multiple times? Ahhh!!!

Qi You’an: “Why are you here?”

“Why am I here?!” Yu Mi was suddenly furious. “You called me, remember?”

A hint of confusion flashed in Qi You’an’s eyes: “I don’t have your phone number. How could I have called you?”

“You called me on WeChat!” Yu Mi quickly picked up his phone and showed him the call log. “See!!”

Qi You’an looked at it and gave an “oh.” Oh, it was indeed him who called.

“You got drunk and called me over,” Yu Mi explained frantically as he got out of bed, turning his back to put on his clothes. “Your phone was dead, and I couldn’t reach your roommate… You were too heavy, I couldn’t carry you, so I had to bring you here…”

Qi You’an looked at his messy hair: “Got it.”

Yu Mi turned his head angrily: “You were awake the whole time, why didn’t you wake me up?!”

Qi You’an was silent for a moment, then replied, “I wanted to confirm if I was gay.”

Yu Mi: “Huh???”

He couldn’t quite grasp what that meant and didn’t have time to think about it. “I’m off to my 8 AM class!”

Yu Mi hurriedly left the room, ran out of the hotel, and caught a cab. While in the cab, he messaged Chen Ziming, asking him to bring his books. After taking a few deep breaths, he finally calmed down a bit.

As he calmed down, Qi You’an’s last words echoed in his mind. “I wanted to confirm if I was gay.” What did that mean? How to confirm? By having me bite his chest to see if he felt anything and determine if he was gay?? Who does that?! That’s just too…

Yu Mi was overwhelmed, turning his head to bump against the car window. The driver was startled and quickly said, “Hey, don’t do anything rash!”

“It’s fine, it’s fine, sorry…” Yu Mi quickly sat properly. He looked at the bustling scene outside, unable to stop thinking, so did that guy feel anything? Did he come to a conclusion?

Meanwhile, Qi You’an, still lying in the hotel bed, had already come to a conclusion. Yes. He was gay. Or rather, he had become gay. He woke up with the first bite, saw the golden hair buried in his chest, glanced at the green clothes not far away, and immediately recognized who was in his arms. Yu Mi, with his corn-colored hair.

He was in a state of shock, and before he could recover, he was bitten, pulled, sucked, and rubbed. Qi You’an instinctively wanted to push him away, but as soon as his hand touched the other’s head, the guy suddenly sucked hard. That moment, a strange, indescribable, bizarre feeling suddenly erupted, rushing to his brain, shattering some of his perceptions.

So he withdrew his hand, clenched the blanket, and endured with all his might. During this process, he slowly confirmed, confirmed certain things, confirmed certain changes, confirmed that feeling. Not long after, his breath hitched. He stared blankly at the golden head in his arms, holding his breath, not daring to move, letting the other hold him and bite him.

A moment later, things got a bit out of control, and he hurriedly pulled away, creating some distance between them. But his chest was bitten, and as it was pulled, he couldn’t help but cry out in pain, waking Yu Mi.

Now the other had left. Qi You’an lay alone in bed. He didn’t have an 8 AM class today, so he wasn’t in a hurry. He could lie there, continue to recall that feeling, and sort out some thoughts.

But Yu Mi wasn’t so leisurely. After returning to school, he ran all the way to the classroom, got his books from Chen Ziming, and sat down, panting heavily. Chen Ziming didn’t dare to ask anything, just silently observed him, trying to see if he could figure something out, but he couldn’t see anything. Just that his roommate’s hair was messy, like a bird’s nest…

Hotel beds are indeed bigger than dorm beds, huh. He didn’t say anything during class, nor did he ask after class. Yu Mi went back to the dorm to wash up and change clothes, glancing at his phone during the process. Qi You’an hadn’t sent him any messages. Yu Mi was in a mess, wondering if he’d call the police after biting his pecs like that. Please don’t!!

For the rest of the day, Yu Mi was in a state of anxiety, his mind filled with “I actually bit my senior’s chest!” “Will he call the police?” “I actually bit…” His face was clouded with worry, scaring Chen Ziming, who didn’t dare to ask. But he was still worried, so later, Chen Ziming messaged him on WeChat: “Did he bully you? If something bad happened, I’ll help you settle it with him!”

Yu Mi quickly typed back: “No.” The senior didn’t bully him; he “bullied” the senior. Even though he had already washed up and brushed his teeth in the morning, Yu Mi still felt something strange in his mouth, as if the peculiar feeling of biting the bean lingered on his lips and tongue. He felt inexplicably parched, leading him to unconsciously lick his lips, bite his tongue, and drink water during class… constantly drinking water. The more he tried to forget everything, the more it lingered.

Yu Mi was going crazy! Until after class at noon, Qi You’an suddenly sent him a message, directly transferring 500 with a note saying “room fee.” And a message: “Thanks for the trouble.”

Seeing this, Yu Mi thought, it seems like he won’t call the police on me? He breathed a sigh of relief but didn’t accept the money. The room didn’t cost that much, and besides, he should be the one paying for medical expenses after biting him like that. He hadn’t thought of this before, so he quickly transferred 500 back, noting it as “medical expenses.”

Of course, Qi You’an didn’t accept it either. After finishing the day’s classes, it was finally time for dinner, and Yu Mi finally calmed down. Chen Ziming asked, “What exactly happened?”

Yu Mi sighed helplessly: “Nothing.”

Chen Ziming still wasn’t reassured: “You don’t look like nothing happened… Did he really not bully you?”

“No,” Yu Mi said, stepping on the fallen leaves, his voice muffled, “I bullied him.”

“What?!” Chen Ziming’s eyes widened, then he quickly lowered his voice, “Did you… do that to him?”

“What are you thinking?!” Yu Mi rolled his eyes at him, “How could that be possible?”

Chen Ziming cautiously asked, “Then…?”

Yu Mi looked at the bustling campus: “Let’s just pretend it was a dream… better not mention it.”

Chen Ziming: “Alright.” Seeing Yu Mi’s poor mental state, he suggested, “The game exhibition starts tomorrow, let’s go check it out and relax.”

Yu Mi nodded: “Okay.”

That night, he wasn’t in the mood to play games, so he messaged Shen Gun on Q, telling him he wouldn’t be doing the double riding for opportunities today. Shen Gun replied: “Alright. I’m not really in the mood to play today either.”

Yu Mi suddenly got curious and asked, “What’s up with you?”

Shen Gun: “Nothing. Just a lot of classes. Got things to do tomorrow.”

Yu Mi thought about asking if he was going to the game exhibition tomorrow, but then realized they weren’t that close! Why ask? Even if he was going, he didn’t plan on meeting him in person. He quickly dismissed the idea.

Then he went to the sect group to ask if his master and the others would be coming. He was totally okay with meeting them in person. But unfortunately, they all said they lived far away and wouldn’t be coming this time, maybe next time.

Yu Mi wasn’t disappointed; after all, there’s always a next time. He logged in to check-in and then logged off, lying in bed and staring at the ceiling, emptying his mind.

The next day, Yu Mi, Chen Ziming, Xi Xiangqing, and two other classmates from their class set off for the game exhibition. As soon as they entered the venue, the lively atmosphere hit them. Players gathered in groups, chatting and laughing, cosplayers made dazzling appearances, actively engaging with the crowd. The rich otaku culture atmosphere brought Yu Mi back to life.

The group wandered around, participating in activities at game booths they were interested in, collecting merchandise. Many companies had hired cosplayers to stand at their booths, and they couldn’t resist taking pictures of these highly accurate cosplayers.

Yu Mi gradually forgot about yesterday’s events. As they wandered, they overheard snippets of conversation.

“Did you hear? A player tore a cosplayer’s clothes…”

“What the heck? In broad daylight? Is that for real?”

“Wow, I heard a player squeezed a cosplayer’s chest until it was swollen.”

“Did you hear? Apparently, a player bit a cosplayer’s nipple off!!!”

…

The group exchanged glances, all looking shocked. Chen Ziming’s eyes widened: “I don’t go to conventions often… are they always this intense?”

Xi Xiangqing said, “I’ve been to many conventions, and I’ve never seen anything like this.”

She boldly stopped someone to ask which game it was. The person didn’t know either, just pointed them in a direction: “I think it’s over there? A domestic game.”

So they headed in that direction, only to find the booth completely surrounded, unable to see what was going on. After much effort, they finally reached the front and looked up to see it was Sword Roar in the Jianghu.

Chen Ziming was quite proud: “As expected of my Sword Roar in the Jianghu, so many people! Let’s go in and get some merchandise.”

Yu Mi nodded: “Sure.”

Chen Ziming led him inside. When they reached the front row and saw the cosplayer on stage, both were shocked. It was Qi You’an! Today, he was cosplaying as a male character from the Holy Fire Sect, with a Western-style outfit, minimal fabric, and an open chest. He was posing with other cosplayers for the players to admire. And his left pec was clearly swollen! It looked like it had been bitten.

A large crowd was taking pictures of him non-stop. Yu Mi’s mind went blank. Chen Ziming stiffly turned his head to look at his roommate. “Could it be… you bit him?”

Yu Mi quickly covered his mouth. “No, I didn’t!”

*

Qi You’an also noticed Yu Mi. With his platinum blonde hair and green jacket… the classic corn color, he stood out in the crowd. He immediately looked over at him. Before he could say anything, Yu Mi grabbed his roommate and hurriedly ran away.

Of course, he was working and couldn’t say or do anything, just watched them leave. As for his pecs, Qi You’an had already explained the situation to the official staff, requesting to cosplay a different faction with more covered clothing. But the staff insisted he cosplay as the cat brother. The official had specifically invited several male cosplayers to collectively cosplay the male characters with minimal fabric to attract players, and they couldn’t miss one. So Qi You’an had to comply with the agreement.

During makeup, he had used various methods to cover the marks on his pecs… but the venue was too hot, and he started sweating, gradually revealing the marks. The official staff covered their mouths, laughing, and the players went crazy, taking pictures of him. Some bold players even asked who bit him. Qi You’an said it was his cat at home. But no one believed him.

Meanwhile, Yu Mi dragged Chen Ziming away in a panic. When they met up with Xi Xiangqing outside, she was surprised: “Why are you out so quickly? Weren’t you going to get some merchandise?”

“No, we won’t get any,” Yu Mi said, flustered. “Too many people, it’s too crowded. Let’s go somewhere else.”

Xi Xiangqing looked suspiciously at the Sword Roar in the Jianghu booth, but there were too many people to see what was happening inside. “Alright.”

So they left and went to explore other areas. Attending a convention is really a physical activity; after a morning of wandering, they were all exhausted. At noon, they rested and ate at a restaurant in the venue. It was also packed with tourists and cosplayers, all seats taken.

Just after ordering, Yu Mi’s WeChat lit up. Qi You’an had sent him a message. “Back at school?”

Seeing his name made Yu Mi feel ashamed. He wanted to play dead but was worried the other had something important to say, so he honestly replied that he hadn’t left yet. The other asked where they were. Yu Mi sent a photo.

A few minutes later, Qi You’an, still in his cosplay outfit, arrived at the restaurant. His handsome appearance and generous attire immediately attracted a lot of attention. He walked over to their table and handed Yu Mi a shopping bag. “Got some merchandise. You guys can share it.”

The bag was stuffed with Sword Roar in the Jianghu merchandise. Yu Mi was momentarily stunned, looking down at the bag, then up at Qi You’an. As he looked up, he saw the other’s bruised chest and immediately lowered his head, feeling embarrassed, wishing he could leave Earth.

“Are you working?” Xi Xiangqing asked. “Invited by the official?”

Qi You’an nodded: “Yes. I’m heading back. You guys stay safe and have fun.”

With that, he turned and left, his steps like the wind, his clothes fluttering, his long hair flying behind him. His back was like a character straight out of a game. Chen Ziming nudged Yu Mi with his elbow. “He specifically brought you merchandise! And so much! He must have gotten it through his work.”

The others also looked at Yu Mi with meaningful expressions, expecting him to say something. Yu Mi’s face turned red, unable to say anything, so he awkwardly opened the bag and took out some merchandise: “Do you guys like it? Feel free to take some.”

However, aside from him and Chen Ziming, the others didn’t play the game and weren’t interested in the merchandise. Xi Xiangqing said, “He brought it specifically for you, so just keep it. Don’t worry about us.”

Yu Mi turned to Chen Ziming: “Let’s split it when we get back.”

Chen Ziming didn’t really need anything, but he didn’t want to make his roommate uncomfortable, so he kindly agreed. “Didn’t you say he doesn’t play this game?” Chen Ziming was curious. “How did he end up at our official booth?”

“You don’t understand,” Xi Xiangqing explained. “These professional cosplayers are often invited to various events. They don’t necessarily play the games; they just cosplay as required. It’s all work, all business.”

Just then, the food arrived, and Yu Mi quickly changed the subject: “Let’s eat! Eat, eat, eat.”

Everyone was already hungry and immediately started devouring the food. But after a few bites, the conversation returned to Qi You’an. After all, his pecs were bitten like that! It’s hard not to care, right? They started chatting about it.

“Does he have a partner? That’s intense.”

“His partner’s kink is quite something, liking to bite there… But his pecs are big, his body is great, really tempting…”

“If I had a partner like that, I’d grab his pecs every day!”

“Knowing he had work, doing that the night before… isn’t that a bit much?”

Hearing this, Yu Mi’s face turned beet red! Don’t criticize the senior’s work ethic. It was me who bit him; it’s my fault! And he wanted to clarify, it wasn’t the night before, it was the night before that…

Yu Mi didn’t know Qi You’an had work today, and even if he did, he couldn’t control what he did in his dream. Listening to them talk about Qi You’an, Yu Mi didn’t dare say a word, just focused on eating, trying to keep his mouth shut.

“Hey,” Xi Xiangqing suddenly looked at the silent Yu Mi, “Corn, sweet corn, was it you who bit him?”

Yu Mi quickly looked up: “How could it be?!”

Xi Xiangqing rolled her eyes at him: “Then why are you blushing?”

The others also stared at him, one by one saying, “Then why are you blushing?”

Yu Mi stammered: “I… I’m naturally shy, seeing so many handsome guys and beautiful girls makes me blush…”

They wouldn’t let it go, demanding he confess the truth. “It really wasn’t him,” Chen Ziming helped him out. “He’s been staying in the dorm these days, sticking with me.”

Yu Mi was grateful beyond words, deciding to treat him to a meal when they got back!

After the meal, they planned to continue exploring. The venue was huge, and they hadn’t finished exploring in the morning. After a few steps, Yu Mi suddenly realized something: “Do you think he ate? Does the official provide meals? Should we bring him something to eat?”

“I don’t know,” Xi Xiangqing said. “We don’t have experience with this kind of work, so we’re not sure… Why don’t you bring him something? After all, you’re from the same school.”

“Alright.” Yu Mi looked around and finally bought some KFC. He thought it would be more convenient to eat KFC; otherwise, if he brought rice, would the handsome cat brother have to use chopsticks at the booth? If someone took a picture, it might become a meme…

The group returned to the Sword Roar in the Jianghu booth. It was still crowded, and from a distance, they could see Qi You’an and other cosplayers working hard, taking photos with players. The knife dad next to him was being groped by someone.

As soon as Yu Mi appeared, Qi You’an’s eyes lit up, immediately looking at him. Yu Mi, holding the bag, approached him, first glancing at the official staff nearby, then quietly asked, “Can you eat now?”

Qi You’an was slightly stunned, seemingly not expecting him to bring food, then said, “I’ll have to wait a bit.” He looked at the line of players: “I need to finish taking photos with everyone first.”

Yu Mi looked around: “Then…”

“You wait here,” Xi Xiangqing said. “We’ll go explore elsewhere and come back to get you later.”

With that, they left. Even Chen Ziming patted Yu Mi’s shoulder and left with them. So only Yu Mi was left. “It’s fine, you go ahead.” He found a spot where he wouldn’t be in the way and waited quietly.

A kind player saw him and handed him some nice merchandise. Yu Mi quickly thanked them. He quietly observed everyone; they were all players of the same game, maybe even from the same server.

About ten minutes later, Qi You’an’s side took a break, and another group of cosplayers took over. He found Yu Mi waiting nearby: “Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“No.” Yu Mi quickly handed him the fried chicken. “You guys can share it.”

The knife dad next to him asked, “Is this your friend, Right Bank teacher?”

Qi You’an nodded: “My junior.”

The knife dad kindly asked, “Junior, do you play our Sword Roar in the Jianghu? Which server? What faction?”

Yu Mi immediately shook his head: “I don’t play, I haven’t played, my computer doesn’t have enough memory, and I get dizzy with 3D! Haha…”

“Ah, that’s a shame.” The poison brother cosplaying the male character from the Ten Thousand Gu Sect said, “If you get a chance, come play. The game is super fun, and the atmosphere is great. The memory issue is easy to solve; just get an external hard drive. I think I have a spare one. Why don’t you give me your address, and I’ll send it to you?”

Oh my, that’s too enthusiastic! Yu Mi hurriedly declined: “No need, no need, I’m planning to get a new computer soon! I’ll see then.”

“Alright, alright,” the poison brother immediately said, “then you must come play our invincible Ten Thousand Gu Sect!”

“I disagree!” The male character from the Divine Weapon Villa next to him pulled Yu Mi over. “Come play our most handsome Divine Weapon Villa!”

A male character from the Dao Sect wearing sunglasses came over, placing a hand on Yu Mi’s shoulder: “Classmate, I calculated, the faction that suits you best is the invincible Dao Sect!”

Then the three of them started arguing, pulling Yu Mi back and forth. “Play Ten Thousand Gu Sect!” “Play Divine Weapon Villa!” “Play Dao Sect!” “Play Ten Thousand Gu Sect!” …

Yu Mi was getting dizzy from being pulled around. Just as the three were arguing endlessly, a certain silent cat brother suddenly hugged Yu Mi, rescuing him from the storm’s center.

Qi You’an held Yu Mi in his arms: “He should play the Holy Fire Sect that I’m cosplaying.”

“Right!” Yu Mi quickly hugged him back. “I’ll… I’ll play the Holy Fire Sect! Meow, meow, meow, meow, I know.”

After meowing, he realized their position seemed a bit ambiguous, and… his face was right against the other’s firm, hot pecs! He could even hear his heartbeat.

*

Fortunately, Qi You’an let go of him in time. Yu Mi also quickly stepped back a bit. He was about to find an excuse to leave when the official staff came over.

“Hello, classmate!” The staff member smiled. “We’re very sorry, but we found your interaction with the cosplayers very interesting, so we recorded a video. Can we post this video on our official Douyin and Weibo? We’ll blur your face!”

“Ah?” Yu Mi was taken aback. The cosplayers also gathered around. The staff played the video for them, capturing the scene of them pulling Yu Mi to join their factions. It was lively and fun, with great entertainment value.

The cosplayers were, of course, happy, but Yu Mi was a regular person, so they needed his consent. “This…” Yu Mi instinctively looked at Qi You’an. He only knew him.

“Will there be payment?” Qi You’an asked for him. “Of course!” The staff member said to Yu Mi, “If you play our game, we can give you point cards, monthly cards, directly to your account.”

Yu Mi thickened his face: “I don’t play for now…”

Staff: “It’s okay if you don’t play for now. I’ll apply for a cash red envelope for you.”

So Yu Mi earned some money, not much, but it was still nice to earn some! The staff not only sent him a red envelope but also gave him some merchandise, encouraging him to play the game. Yu Mi felt quite embarrassed, almost unable to hold it all, wishing he could tell them he was already playing and enjoying it.

After getting the money, Yu Mi had no reason to stay. He wanted to explore other areas and planned to find Chen Ziming and the others, so he said goodbye to Qi You’an and the other cosplayers. Before leaving, Yu Mi took a group photo with them, then waved goodbye.

“Thanks for the fried chicken,” the cosplayers continued to recruit him, “remember to play Ten Thousand Gu Sect.” “Play Divine Weapon Villa!” “Play Dao Sect!” “Play the hottest Knife Mountain!” …

The cosplayers playfully pretended to fight, while Qi You’an didn’t participate in the childish behavior, standing there steadily, saying to him, “Stay safe, message me when you get back to school.”

Yu Mi thought, why should I message you? But his head instinctively nodded obediently. As he blended into the crowded crowd and disappeared, the cosplayers gathered around Qi You’an, hooking his shoulder, lowering their voices—

“Was it him who bit you?” “It was him, right? It was him, right? It was him…” “Definitely was!”

Qi You’an remained calm: “No, I bit myself.” Then he turned around, heading back to the booth to continue working. The remaining three were left dumbfounded. They looked at Right Bank teacher’s tall back, then each looked down at their own chest, some even unconsciously opening their mouths, trying to see if they could reach…

It was the knife dad who noticed players taking pictures of them, so he quickly called a stop! The group was quite embarrassed and quickly returned to work!

On the other side, Yu Mi used the money he earned to buy some food, then reunited with his classmates, sharing the food with them and telling them about his experience. Everyone praised him: “Awesome! You even earned money for us to spend.”

Everyone was eagerly anticipating the video. About an hour later, the official Weibo posted the video. [@Sword Roar in the Jianghu Official: Welcome heroes from all over to play Sword Roar in the Jianghu! Choose your faction—]

The official was very serious about blurring his face, not missing a single frame. In the comments, they tagged the cosplayers, including our Right Bank teacher Qi You’an, and mentioned “thanks to the unnamed kind hero.”

The cosplayers probably received a task from the official Weibo, all popping up in the comments, encouraging everyone to choose the faction they cosplayed. Other players actively responded, flooding the comments with “Come play the invincible XXX!!!”

Yu Mi quietly liked Qi You’an’s comment. Before dark, they left the venue with large bags and returned to school. They were all exhausted, their feet almost breaking. After returning to school, Yu Mi messaged Qi You’an to let him know he was safe, but there was no reply. He glanced at it; the official Douyin was still live streaming, and Right Bank teacher was still working there.

Yu Mi took a shower to relieve his fatigue. Chen Ziming was already doing a dungeon, so Yu Mi logged in to do his dailies. He opened his friend list, but Shen Gun wasn’t online. “No double riding today?” he asked on Q. There was no reply.

After finishing his dailies, Yu Mi left his character idle and started sorting through the merchandise he received today. Qi You’an had given him a big bag, enthusiastic players had given him a lot, and the official had given him small gifts. He took a bunch of photos and sent them to the sect group, letting them choose what they wanted, planning to send it to them later.

After organizing everything, he placed the remaining items on his desk, spending over an hour tidying up his desk. Then he waited for Shen Gun to come online while surfing the internet. When he opened Douyin’s hot list, he saw the topic “cosplayer’s pecs bitten” high on the list. Yu Mi suddenly felt terrible!

He trembled as he clicked on the topic… and was immediately hit by a wave of pecs. Countless people had taken pictures of Qi You’an and posted them online, all asking who bit him? Who was it?! Not only were Sword Roar in the Jianghu players looking for the culprit, but people from other circles were also asking.

Yu Mi clicked on a popular video, judging by the avatar and name, it seemed to be a Sword Roar in the Jianghu player. The blogger posted a close-up video. [Caption: Who bit Right Bank teacher’s pecs? [Angry][Angry] Who’s the culprit… no, who’s the culprit mouth?! Who was it?!]

In the comments, other players posted screenshots to prove their innocence. @Lucky Yao: Not me, I’m mopping the floor in the arena. [Image] @Tired Tired: Not me, I’m jumping mountains in the dungeon. [Image] @Wu Jin Lian Hua: Not me, I’m robbing escorts. [Image] @Xiao Xi: Not me, I’m sweeping the sect. [Image] @Sour Milk: Not me, I’m getting beaten with my master. [Image]

The comments were funny, but Yu Mi couldn’t laugh. He browsed the internet and found that every platform was buzzing about this. Weibo, Little Red Book, forums… even when he casually refreshed QQ Space, he saw it!

Yu Mi felt a wave of despair, and even more so when he saw a post on a forum criticizing Qi You’an. The poster: This Right Bank teacher, knowing he had work today, still messed around the night before, showing up like this, it’s unbearable! Damaging the game’s image! So many people outside are saying a player did it, but I think it was his partner, and now this hat is being put on us players, isn’t this defaming us? The official should demand compensation from him, make him pay! And never use this cosplayer again!

Yu Mi’s heart sank as he quickly checked the player comments. Many thought it was no big deal, no need to take it seriously, they believed it brought a lot of traffic and attention to the game, which was great. Some agreed with the poster, joining in to criticize Qi You’an. They also criticized those defending him, saying they were all his fans, all bewitched by his looks, all perverts!

This kind of criticism was too much, and many people had a rebellious mentality, so they confidently said they were perverts, they liked cosplayers with good bodies, and they wanted to see Right Bank teacher next time!

Seeing everyone arguing, Yu Mi felt very guilty. He was the one who bit him… it was all his fault. He wanted to help speak up but didn’t know how. Ever since playing Sword Roar in the Jianghu, he hadn’t learned much, just how to copy, so he copied a few comments from others.

At this moment, Qi You’an replied to his message. “Okay. Got it.” Yu Mi immediately asked: “Are you off work? Back at school?” Qi You’an: “Not yet. Not going back to school today, there’s another day tomorrow. Are you coming tomorrow?” Yu Mi: “We only bought a one-day ticket, we’ve already seen what we wanted, so we’re not going tomorrow.” Qi You’an: “Okay. Rest early, goodnight.”

The conversation seemed to end there. Yu Mi looked at his avatar, feeling heavy-hearted. Then QQ flashed, and Shen Gun replied to his message. “Sorry, I forgot to tell you in advance, I’m busy today, not logging in.” Yu Mi: “Okay.” His mind was full of Qi You’an, and he didn’t feel like chatting with Shen Gun, so he logged off and started browsing various platforms, checking people’s attitudes towards Right Bank teacher.

After a round of browsing, he found that every platform had people criticizing him, but also people defending him. Many players said they bought tickets for the second day, wanting to see him, eagerly asking if he’d be there tomorrow. In reality, most players were just watching the drama, with only a few taking it seriously and criticizing, but Yu Mi, feeling guilty, only saw the criticism, feeling more and more self-blame.

After a while, he couldn’t help but send Qi You’an a message: “I’m sorry!” Five minutes later, Qi You’an replied: “What’s wrong?” Yu Mi: “I’m sorry for getting you criticized… I’m really sorry Orz.”

The next second, a voice call came in. Yu Mi was startled, quickly grabbing his phone and rushing into the bathroom, locking the door before answering. “Hello…” “Don’t worry about it,” Qi You’an’s voice was calm. “I saw it, not many people are criticizing me, you don’t need to blame yourself. Besides, I was the one who drank too much, it’s not your fault.”

Yu Mi didn’t know if it was his imagination, but he felt his voice was very gentle. The other was comforting him, but he didn’t know what to say, only managing a weak “mm.” Qi You’an continued to reassure him: “Really, don’t worry, I even gained followers. My account gained a lot of followers today, it didn’t affect me.”

Yu Mi asked worriedly: “The official didn’t criticize you, right? Didn’t ask you to pay, right?” “No, how could they?” Qi You’an said, “I was supposed to rest tomorrow, but the official said many players wanted to see me, so they temporarily booked me for another day, I’ll be working here tomorrow.”

Yu Mi breathed a sigh of relief: “Good, that’s good…” Qi You’an’s tone was relaxed: “It’s not a big deal, look how scared you are.” Yu Mi suddenly felt, why did that sentence sound so familiar??

Before he could recall, the person on the other end seemed to laugh: “A bit cute.” Yu Mi’s face instantly heated up: “Get lost!” “Got it,” Qi You’an said, “rest early, don’t overthink, goodnight.” Yu Mi suddenly felt he might have been too rude, feeling a bit embarrassed: “Goodnight…”

After the call ended, he looked in the mirror and found his face as red as an apple. After washing his face with cold water, he went out. Lying in bed, he continued to follow the matter, still surfing various platforms, until he came across a post. [Case solved, I think I know who the culprit mouth is…]

Although it didn’t name names, it was clear what it was about. Yu Mi clicked in and immediately saw his photo. His head was blurred, but the green clothes were too eye-catching! It was him. [Blogger: While surfing the internet, I saw Right Bank teacher specifically delivering a big bag of merchandise to someone, and later this person brought fried chicken to Right Bank teacher. The culprit… no! The culprit mouth always returns to the crime scene. Should be the teacher’s partner, right?]

Yu Mi almost spat out blood. I’m the senior’s partner? Huh???
