Chapter 23

The comment section of the post was buzzing with discussions.

“Wow, a fierce mouth that returns to the scene. Isn’t that green outfit the same as the one in the official video?”

“Whoa, seems like it’s a boy? Does the teacher like boys?”

“So it’s him! I saw him at the official booth today, flipped through the album, and he’s a super cute guy!!”

“Yeah, yeah, I saw him too, very cute and fair-skinned.”

…

Yu Mi panicked and quickly used a small account to comment: “It’s fake, right? They should just be ordinary friends… don’t talk nonsense.”

However, everyone was so engrossed in the conversation that no one liked his comment.

Yu Mi felt a bit at a loss, wanting to ask Qi You’an what to do but was afraid of disturbing his rest. After all, the guy had been standing all day and must be tired, possibly already asleep.

He hid under the covers, feeling anxious.

After a while, a notification popped up on Douyin; Qi You’an had updated his status.

Yu Mi immediately clicked in. The other party had posted a video with a vertical warning in the top right corner saying, “Dangerous actions, do not imitate.”

In the video, Qi You’an said, “Stop guessing, I bit it myself. Surely someone will ask, how could I bite it myself? Let my brothers demonstrate for everyone.”

As he spoke, Qi You’an stepped back, and Dao Dad, Poison Bro, and a bald master stepped into the frame. These three factions also had very little fabric, and the three cosplayers were all in great shape, each with well-developed pecs.

The three of them simultaneously lowered their heads toward their chests.

The video abruptly ended, leaving Yu Mi speechless, wondering how this guy convinced the others to shoot such a video with him?!

But then he thought, they probably enjoyed the attention, so they were happy to join in, right?

He replayed it, and towards the end, he unconsciously lowered his head toward his own chest.

When he realized what he was doing, he almost threw his phone!

Before tossing it, he glanced at the comment section.

A netizen said: “Couldn’t help but try it myself, what’s going on…”

Yu Mi felt relieved, thinking, luckily, I’m not the only one who tried it!

Many people followed suit, and the style gradually went off track.

Some comments also exposed Qi You’an.

“Yo, is the teacher afraid his wife will be exposed, so he posted this video? You love…”

Yu Mi felt a bit embarrassed, realizing that Qi You’an must have seen people digging into him and quickly came out to take the blame himself.

This made him feel even more guilty, tossing and turning, unable to sleep until dawn.

Then he slept until noon.

When Yu Mi opened his eyes, he saw Chen Ziming sitting below, playing a game.

He picked up his phone, opened Douyin, and went to the official live stream of Sword Roar in the Jianghu to find Qi You’an.

Upon entering, his eyes lit up. The person had changed clothes today, cosplaying as a refined scholar from White Deer Academy.

This faction’s weapon is a guqin, and the adult male is nicknamed Qin Dad.

Qi You’an was dressed in a fitted white and blue long robe, wrapped tightly, holding a delicately crafted guqin, looking elegant and graceful, completely different from yesterday.

Many players in the live stream were asking:

“Where’s that Meow Bro from yesterday?”

“I want to see pecs! I want to see the throw!”

“Can you take off Old Qin Dad’s top… QAQ I want to see Old Qin Dad’s pecs…”

Seeing that his senior’s job wasn’t lost, Yu Mi finally felt relieved.

He planned to send some merchandise to his master and the others in the afternoon. Suddenly, he thought of Escort Hero Yichuan Tobacco and Full City Wind Fluff in his list, so he sent them photos to ask if they wanted any.

Full City Wind Fluff replied instantly: “Yes, yes, yes! I want! I’ll pay you!”

Yu Mi quickly said: “No need for money, it’s all free. Pick whatever you like, I have plenty here.”

Full City Wind Fluff: “Okay, let me take a look.”

After a while, he circled a few items in a screenshot and then told Yu Mi: “What Yichuan Tobacco and I want are all in here. He’s busy, so he won’t reply to you separately. I’ll thank you on his behalf!”

Yu Mi: “You two live together??”

Full City Wind Fluff: “Yeah, yeah.”

Yu Mi: “May I ask, are you two a couple?”

Full City Wind Fluff: “Yeah, yeah. It’s not impolite, haha!”

Yu Mi felt curious: “Did you know each other before, or did you meet in the game and then meet in real life?”

Full City Wind Fluff: “Met in the game and then in real life [shy].”

That’s nice.

Yu Mi expressed his blessings, then had a burst of inspiration and hand-drew a picture for the two of them, secretly tucking it into the package, planning to give them a surprise.

After sending the package, Yu Mi bought snacks and drinks and returned to the dormitory to play games.

As soon as he logged in, he saw someone in the world channel asking: So, was the case solved? Who bit the coser teacher’s nipple?

[World] Past Like Smoke: Not me, I’m gathering horse grass.

[World] Imitation White: Not me, I’m petting pets in the wild.

[World] Iced Watermelon: Not me, I’m setting up a stall for fortune-telling.

Yu Mi felt a wave of despair…

He didn’t dare to make a sound, just silently doing his dailies.

In the evening, Shen Gun messaged him, saying he was busy today and probably couldn’t log in again.

Yu Mi thought, how come he’s been busy for several days? What major is he studying that’s so busy? Is he a medical student?

Honestly, he wished this guy would never log in!

He didn’t want to help his enemy trigger opportunities again.

However, a few minutes later, Shen Gun sent over an account and password.

“You log into my account, dual log, and help me out.”

Yu Mi: “???”

Yu Mi: “You’re just giving me your account and password like that? Aren’t you afraid I’ll hack your account??”

Shen Gun: “Someone who’s scared of guild wars, I don’t think would do something like hacking an account.”

Yu Mi: “Who’s scared of guild wars?!”

Shen Gun: “You can play my account after logging in, play as you like.”

Yu Mi had no choice but to dual log into his account. After logging in, he opened his friend list and saw that the other party had noted him as “Sweet Glutinous (Cute Version).”

What kind of note is this?

It’s kind of interesting, making one curious about what other versions there might be in the future.

Yu Mi right-clicked to modify the note.

The system prompted that it needed to be unlocked.

Before he could poke the other party on QQ, Shen Gun unlocked it for him without a word and sent a message.

“Changing the note?”

Yu Mi: …

How did he know?

Shen Gun seemed to guess what he was thinking: “I just knew.”

Yu Mi changed the note the other party gave him to “Sweet Glutinous (Handsome Version),” casually sent him an emoji, and then operated both accounts for double riding.

A few minutes later, he messaged Shen Gun.

“Congratulations.”

Shen Gun: “Did it happen again?! So effective? You’re really my lucky star. Thanks.”

The other party immediately sent a red envelope.

Yu Mi couldn’t help but laugh.

“No, it didn’t happen!! What are you thinking? Hahaha!”

Shen Gun: “…”

Seeing the other party so speechless, Yu Mi was very happy.

He quickly logged out of Shen Gun’s account, focusing on his own, teaming up with Chen Ziming and his master to run dungeons. It felt like being in prison for several hours. But since they were all familiar faces, it wasn’t too painful.

At nine in the evening, Qi You’an called him, asking him to come downstairs.

Yu Mi was still playing the game at the time. When he hurried downstairs, he saw Qi You’an carrying bags.

Yu Mi quickly approached him.

The other party had already changed out of his cosplay outfit, wearing a casual jacket, back to a real-world look.

He seemed to have just showered, with the scent of body wash lingering.

“Where’s your green battle robe?”

That was the first thing the other party said.

Yu Mi was wearing a white jacket now, not the classic green battle robe.

He pretended to be calm and said, “Just grabbed something randomly, didn’t look.”

Qi You’an looked at him with a smile, speaking softly, “Afraid of being recognized?”

Yu Mi’s face immediately burned.

He couldn’t help but glare at the other party.

Yes! He was afraid of being recognized!

Afraid of being recognized as the one who bit Right Bank Teacher’s nipple!

He was the one who left the other’s pecs bruised and purple!

Although green clothes are common, he still had dyed yellow hair, and this classic corn color was quite eye-catching.

Anyway, Yu Mi didn’t dare to wear green clothes recently.

Qi You’an looked at him, holding back a laugh: “It’s okay, it’ll pass soon.”

Yu Mi said irritably, “Yeah, a lifetime passes quickly…”

Qi You’an suddenly changed the topic: “WeChat calls are inconvenient, give me your phone number instead.”

Yu Mi was stunned for a moment: “Huh?”

At this time, the other party had already handed over his phone.

Qi You’an’s phone wallpaper hadn’t changed, still using the picture he drew.

Just for his taste, Yu Mi directly entered his phone number.

The other party saved it in front of him and casually called him, so Yu Mi saved his number too.

Then Qi You’an handed him the bags. One bag contained fruit, another snacks, and the last seemed to be more merchandise.

Qi You’an: “Thanks for the fried chicken.”

“No need to be polite…” Yu Mi felt a bit awkward, looking at the bag of merchandise, “Well… I don’t play this game…”

“You can try it,” Qi You’an said, “It seems interesting. If you play, let me know, and I’ll join you.”

Yu Mi thought, I’m getting killed in the game every day, how can I lead you?

But there was no need to say too much now. He nodded: “Okay.”

Qi You’an gently patted his shoulder: “Go on up. I’m leaving, goodnight.”

Then he turned to leave.

“Wait!”

Yu Mi called out to him.

The other party turned back.

Yu Mi looked at his handsome face, wanting to ask what the answer to that question was that day?

He wanted to know if the other party had confirmed his orientation?

But he couldn’t bring himself to ask, even with his face turning red!!

Qi You’an took a couple of steps back: “What’s up?”

Yu Mi really didn’t have the face to ask, silently took something out of his white jacket pocket, quickly stuffed it into the other party’s hand, and ran away.

“Apply it yourself!”

Then his figure disappeared into the stairwell, the white jacket fluttering.

Qi You’an looked down.

In his hand was a box… a bottle? A tube of ointment? There was no streetlight here, so it wasn’t clear for now.

Back in the dorm, Chen Ziming saw him return with a bunch of stuff and turned to ask: “You’an… Right Bank Teacher? Is he pursuing you?”

Yu Mi: “How is that possible?”

He took out the snacks, sharing them with Chen Ziming, and placed some on the other two roommates’ desks.

The other two were out playing and hadn’t returned yet.

Chen Ziming said: “It’s not impossible. I see he’s so nice to you, probably wants to pursue you.”

Yu Mi: “Don’t talk nonsense.”

He opened the third bag, intending to organize the merchandise, but unexpectedly found several figures inside, Q-version figures of Sword Roar in the Jianghu, a total of four, super, super, super cute!

Among them was a Daoist loli, holding a sword and kicking, valiant and heroic, melting Yu Mi’s heart, very surprised and delighted.

“These must be expensive…” He showed Chen Ziming.

Chen Ziming glanced at them: “Officially released early on, already out of print, if resold now, they are indeed expensive. A set might be over ten thousand?”

“Oh my god,” Yu Mi sat down weakly, “so expensive? What should I do?”

“What do you mean what should you do?” Chen Ziming said, “He gave them to you, if you like them, that’s good. If he knows you like them, he’d probably be happy.”

Yu Mi felt a bit troubled: “But they’re too expensive.”

Chen Ziming was munching on snacks: “Bro, how do you feel about him? Do you like him?”

Yu Mi quietly looked at him, silent.

Chen Ziming met his gaze: “Follow your heart!”

Yu Mi stammered: “I can only say, his appearance really fits my aesthetic…”

This was hard to deny.

Chen Ziming: “Then isn’t that it?”

“How is that it?!” Yu Mi’s mind was a bit chaotic, “I don’t even know if he’s bent or not…”

Lying down at night, he couldn’t help but wonder, does that method really feel anything?

Can biting there really confirm sexual orientation?

Although Yu Mi had been gay for a long time and had physiological needs… he never thought of this method…

He pinched it twice himself.

No feeling at all.

A man’s two little things are indeed the most useless!

He was pondering when Chen Ziming suddenly called him from below.

“Xiao Ba, where’s the toothpaste you were supposed to bring? Where did you put it?”

Yu Mi immediately stopped: “I forgot to give it to you. It’s in my clothes pocket. You can get it yourself.”

A few seconds later, Chen Ziming said: “Is this the refreshing triple mint toothpaste I wanted? You want me to brush my teeth with this?”

“Huh??” Yu Mi turned his head and saw Chen Ziming holding a packaging box in one hand and a tube of white ointment in the other.

“Oh my god!” He instantly sat up, “Where’s the toothpaste?! Did I give the wrong one? Did I give your refreshing triple mint toothpaste to the senior?!”

He immediately called the other party.

Qi You’an answered instantly: “Hello? What’s wrong?”

“I gave the wrong one!” Yu Mi’s tone was urgent, “You didn’t apply toothpaste on your pecs, did you?”

Chen Ziming blurted out: “Say pecs, not ‘ba’.”

Yu Mi’s face turned red instantly, wishing he could jump off the bed and kick this guy flying!

But all his thoughts were on the phone.

He heard Qi You’an on the other side seemed choked by his words just now, paused slightly, then said—

“Applied it. Cool through the chest, heart soaring.”
