It's not yet added in Novel Updates and I just recently added it there. I'm not sure when it will be there.

Anyway, this is a really fluffy, full of sugar novel ah! I already finished reading the raws. I really enjoyed reading it so I'm sharing it with you guys to discover it~

Btw, I removed footnotes and just put the notes under the paragraph/sentence for easier access rather than placing it all in one at the bottom page. Is this better or should I bring back footnotes?

Chapter 1: You touch me*

*Might use (or not) them interchangeably with its pinyin which is mo (for touch). Depends on the context.

[Recently, the network exploded when Shenquan Group invested in Blue Whale live broadcast platform, which has now completed the B round of financing.¹ The retention of many popular anchors in Blue Whale has become a big concern for many people. Blue Whale is a leading domestic live platform with major anchors including Yan Wang,² You touch me, and Icon……]

¹B round financing: All about taking a business to the next level, past the development stage. It is often led by many of the same characters as the earlier round, including a key anchor investor that helps to draw in other investors. [more info]
²Yan Wang: same as King of Hell

Xie Wenxing quickly visited the push notification that popped up. He found a cigarette from the table and started the device while smoking.

This is his second year as an anchor. In the first year, Xie Wenxing became famous in Totoro Live. At the end of the year, Totoro launched a new anchor but the platform did not push him on the homepage and suppressed his live broadcast time. When he happened to meet the Blue Whale poaching, Xie Wenxing jumped to Blue Whale's live broadcast.

Unexpectedly, just after the jump, Blue Whale helped him to make up for the liquidated damages with Totoro; the platform itself had a big problem. It’s unable to turnaround* and can only raise funds from the outside.

*turnaround: when a company that has experienced a period of poor performance moves into a period of financial recovery. [source]

Xie Wenxing’s eyes fell on the words Shenquan Group.       

So immortal, Blue Whale found Shenquan.

It was fine to find Shenquan. What surprised him the most is that the case of buying shares in Blue Whale was done by the Prince of Shenquan Group himself. According to the reports, this person has recently taken a fancy to the thriving e-sports industry. First, he bought two professional clubs in Magic City with deep pockets,* and even started to enter the anchor industry this year.

*rich and imposing; rich and overbearing

The Blue Whale live broadcast with League of Legends as its biggest selling point, became this person’s first goal.

[……If this financing is completed successfully, Shenquan Group will become the largest shareholder of Blue Whale, and the direct holder being Guan He. A sister of Blue Whale, Lu Yaoyao, has publicly expressed her good feelings for Guan He during the live broadcast.]

Steady group, here we go again.

Ever since Lu Yaoyao sang live last time, said that she listened to all of the platform’s arrangements and that the new leader was very handsome and was her male god. These push accounts always love to bring such a little peachy news. Attached to this long Weibo post is a screenshot of Lu Yaoyao’s live broadcast with shoulder-length hair, air bangs, a delicate face with a smile, and skin as white as milk.

Pulling it down, it was a picture of Guan He.

It seems to be taken during the LOL World Championship this year; the EVE club invested by Guan He reached the WC quarterfinals again after many years. Although it stopped at the quarterfinals, it was also a good result that satisfied many League of Legends fans. At the end of the game, Guan He, as the owner of the club, took a photo with the EVE players. To paraphrase, even an EVE fangirl who was present, who originally went to see the male e-sports model, accidentally saw the top-notch rich and handsome man.

The EVE players are all young boys who are tall and have long legs, and their face values are all top-notch among professional players. Xie Wenxing has a good relationship with their club’s marksman, Flash, who is one point eight meters tall. But around Guan He, Flash who is known as the face of e-sports, was also compared. The photo shows Guan He with slightly lowered eyes; he has an inner double eyelid and the contour of his eyes look like a curved peach blossom.

(this translation is only here on ztranslations.blogspot.com otherwise, stolen)

He is half a head taller than Flash and when he is photographed with him, his skin is whiter than the internet addict who has never seen the light.

As soon as this photo broke out, most of the girls in the e-sports circle blew up. Originally, EVE was a domestic e-sports giant with high attention and numerous fans. What the girls did not expect was that the gold master father of their players was so handsome that people can’t close their legs.

As expected of EVE, even the golden master is perfect.

Xie Wenxing pulled to the bottom, and sure enough, many people were licking* Guan He’s face. The man is indeed terrifyingly good-looking; compared with his youth, the twenty-five-year-old Guan He has a more restrained temperament. The smile on his lips was neither light nor thick, and he looks more mature and elegant.

*not literally. Just means to drool over the online photo/video of sexy people/scrumptious food.

He remembered that in the past he was also like this. When he was in middle school, many girls like to watch him. When Guan He played basketball, the little girls on the court basically rushed to him. Guan He had good grades, good family background, and he simply stepped on the hearts all over the ground when he walked.

At that time, Xie Wenxing also played basketball. He was in junior high school and Guan He was in senior high school. I don’t know which brain-damaged person organized a water friend tournament¹ and he had to pull the junior high school and senior high school basketball team together for PK² and must add someone responsible for the face value to both sides to play. Xie Wenxing was in the third year of junior high school at that time; when he heard that he was going to compete with the seniors and the other side specifically pointed out to him, he went to the court without saying a word.

¹Chinese term that refers to friends who irrigate water together or friends who express personal opinions under the same post.
²Player kill, but in this context, not literally. Just to have a match.

Guan He is the senior high school team leader, he was always the MVP when playing. Xie Wenxing and the others are half a head shorter than the seniors, and the boys on their team have to be abused by blood to doubt life. At halftime, the MVP of the enemy team came to talk to Xie Wenxing.

In the scorching sun and loud screaming, Guan He took a bottle of water and leaned close as he unscrewed the cap, handing it to Xie Wenxing.

He said.

“Give me a kiss and I’ll give you water* in the next three quarters.”

*to throw a game

Coming out of the memory, Xie Wenxing bit down on his cigarette.

What could be worse than an ex-boyfriend who bought your company?

There really is.

That is, the ex-boyfriend can decide whether you stay or go.

Blue Whale, as the largest live broadcast platform in China, in addition to its main gamer anchors, there are many singing anchors, food anchors, life anchors,……a mixture of fish and dragons,* which caused Blue Whale’s atmosphere to not be very good. After Shenquan financing the Blue Whale this time, it began to rectify one by one from top to bottom; checking the status of the anchors one by one, and if they encountered irregular behaviors and could not be on stage, they would terminate the contract.

*idiom. Describes a mixture of good and bad people.

Not long after Xie Wenxing jumped from Totoro, Blue Whale only helped him pay off the liquidated damages for him and a million remunerations that he had promised at the time of signing of the contract was not paid at all. His daily income is only the money gifts during the live broadcast.

In other words, if Guan He asked him to roll,¹ he had to roll immediately; and he had to roll empty-handed with no cards.<sup>2

1</sup>get lost
²no face, to face.

The most terrifying thing is that he can't forget Guan He.

Even looking at his picture, Xie Wenxing’s heart would still be caught off guard. Obviously, it was he who wanted to break up, but now it’s still the lowly him who can’t let go of him. (Guan He)

It’s at this time that the computer and equipment turned on, Xie Wenxing locked his phone and ready to start live.

The choking minty smell in the blasting beads made his throat slightly hoarse. Xia Wenxing logged into his account and turned on the device to greet the audience.

Hundreds of thousands of people have entered his live broadcast room on time, and in a while, this number will become more than two million. When the barrage saw him coming, they all greeted him with enthusiasm.

[Good afternoon, Brother Touch ah]

[Husband (heart) (heart) (heart) (heart) (heart)]

[His greetings are so handsome, I’m so happy]

Xie Wenxing’s game ID is called 【You touch me】 and some fans have given him a nickname based on the word 【touch】.

He glanced at the (heart) that kept brushing the screen and lazily said, “Why does it look so much like a scam and dating live broadcast room?”

[Old touch and driving again]

[Touch God, I always treat you as a color-love* anchor. The least exposure, the fastest speed]

*pornography

[Don’t push it, drive quickly ba]

……

Xie Wenxing no longer paid attention to the barrage and logged into League of Legends.

“First line, a warm-up.”

After waiting for about five minutes to get in, Xie Wenxing habitually looked at the ID of the five people on his side; you’ll be happy at first sight.

He is on the first floor* with the ID name 【You touch me】, the fourth floor ID is called 【I touch you】 which happens to be a couple ID.

*Something like this:

“Let me introduce you all to my wife on the fourth floor.” Xie Wenxing said, “I’ll ask my wife what she wants to play and help her grab it.”

As he spoke, he actually typed the question.

The fourth floor ignored him but someone on the other floors recognized Xie Wenxing: [Thigh, I’m lying down]*

*If I’m not mistaken it means that he’ll do nothing and let the other party be carried by him.

Xie Wenxing laughed: “You’re not my target. What’s the use of lying down? Come and move on your own.”

The barrage asked him not to be coquettish and turned a blind eye.

The Ban&Pick session ended and the game began to link. Xie Wenxing noticed that the box 【I touch you】 turned out to be a girl. He left a line “to pee” and went to the toilet.

When Xie Wenxing came back, the game was connected. He noticed that 【I touch you】, his couple name chose Sona. Xie Wenxing was a little surprised but also didn’t want to start buying equipment.

*Sona:

On the contrary, their family’s Top said: [Sona?]

*top: the map is divided into three: top (where there’s one player/lone wolf), middle (one player/do it all), & bottom (adc&support); in addition, there’s also the jungler (who farms in the jungle lane).
*ADC: attack damage carry champion that deals strong, continuous damage with their basic attacks and scales with attack-related stats
Map:

The little mermaid* on the middle lane also typed: [Sister can’t play, Jhin* can’t match with Sona]

*Nami:

*Jhin:

The hero chosen by Xie Wenxing is Jhin, 【I touch you】 chose Sona, they go all the way. Jhin and Sona are not good partners. If Xie Wenxing’s marksman fails to develop, they're likely to lose.*

*Welp, so ok. If the support isn’t good, the ADC will likely not have enough gold for equipment builds/strength to fight. Since in the earlier game, they are squishy and weak but will be powerful in the latter part.
Fun facts(?): Jhin and Sona aren’t good partners because Sona is also a performer like Jhin and she stole his audience, so now he has vengeance for her. Actually, there are a lot of speculations. Like in Jhin’s promotional teaser, it shows where Jhin shot Sona and other heroes lol. If anyone knows, let me know in the comments. I haven’t played LoL for years, so I might be wrong. Anyway, it doesn’t matter much which heroes as long as you're good.

Single Top: [Doesn’t the master rank? Seeing Jhin also chose Sona, real dog]*

*swear word expressing dissatisfaction/resentment.

Xia Wenxing frowned slightly. He started to curse her before she played. 【I touch you】’s Sona has already gone down the road and doesn’t seem to have any intention to fight back.

Xia Wenxing typed: [Try cursing again?]

He said to Sona again: [I’ll do it if you start a group of milk,* I’ll be fine.]

*those players who add blood/take care of their teammates, equivalent to nurses, babysitters, etc.

He originally thought that according to the little sister’s Sona’s somewhat cold posture, she would ignore him. Unexpectedly, the other party replied to Xie Wenxing.

【I touch you】: [Ok.]

Xie Wenxing thought she was a bit cute so he simply replied another word: [Good].*

*(of a child) obedient, well-behaved.

Very titillating, very spoiled, and very angry. The single top who could be seen cursing hit a row of ellipses.

Fortunately, this double-C position is very powerful, especially Jhin who is able to knock and kill the gods all the way, and almost all the enemies will be pierced by Xie Wenxing when they go down the road. The enemy’s jungler will take the rhythm and is barely dragged to the latter stage. When they snatched the dragon, their top rushed into the dragon pit to open team* and the jungler was the first to be played in seconds. This wave of rhythm is bad, not only they lost the dragon, except for Sona and the mid laner little mermaid, the other three of their team died.

*start a team fight

*C-position: carries the team as the name suggests

When clearing the dragon, the little mermaid was also killed by the enemy.

Now there is only a single seedling left to guard the high ground with difficulty; Sona is playing pretty well, the top who started to curse can only say: [gg]

* “good game” used as a mark of sportsmanship and an acknowledgment that you had fun while battling against your opponents.

It means they are going to be cooled off this time.

Xie Wenxing glanced at the equipment interface. Although he was killed in the open team, his equipment was the best in the field; crushing everyone’s economy by a thousand. Xie Wenxing adjusted his equipment again; they can fight.

The only question was whether Sona could hold out until he revived. Xie Wenxing typed: [Hold out for twenty-three seconds? I’ll revive in twenty-three seconds.]

(this translation is only here on ztranslations.blogspot.com otherwise, stolen)

After he finished typing this sentence, Sona didn’t reply but she kept clearing the lane carefully until Sona was locked up by the Card Master* and the highland turret exploded.

*Card Master/Twisted Fate:

But by the time it was twenty-three seconds, the ID 【You touch me】 resurrected from the spring water. At this time, Jhin bought all six god’s outfits; Xie Wenxing manipulated Jhin like a ghost, shuttling between the line of soldiers and the enemy.

Ping A,* combo tricks, dead-blood counter-kills. A heavenly show operation is like the god of death that dominates life, worthy of the title of the virtuoso.

*ordinary attack

*counter kill: turning around the situation and killing the enemy

Everyone heard League of Legends’ system prompt: 

“An enemy has been slain (an enemy was killed)!”

“Double Kill!”

“Triple Kill!”

“Quadra Kill!”

The last policewoman¹ who flashed² to escape was left behind by Jhin, who also flashed with a big move.

¹Caitlyn:
²to blink a short distance in the direction of the cursor.

“Penta Kill!”

“Ace!”

The audience in Xie Wienxing’s live stream has gone crazy:

[Fuck, fuck, fuck 66666!]

[Tianxu!]*

*describe the anchor’s excellent operation. Mostly used to praise someone.

[Brother Touch is really able to fight]

......

A little swelling.

Xia Wenxing who had just taken five kills, smiled and tapped on his keyboard: [Am I handsome? Quickly praise me].

Of course, he was asking the person who played Sona.

*

Guan He who had only just revived looked at the words at the bottom of the screen was slightly startled. Under Guan Sha’s dumbfounded gaze, he typed a line of words: [Very handsome, praising you].

“Brother,” Guan Sha said. “So you can also compliment people?”

On New Year’s Day, Guan He rarely went home on vacation and Guan Sha who had just entered her second year of high school was called by her mother to lecture her. She had already started the game and in a hurry, she could only pull over Guan He who was sitting and watching the news on the side to cover for her. “Advanced Game ah. If I win this one, I’ll be a Master*. Brother, you played well!”

*to move up through divisions, and ultimately among tiers, you need to win games in a best-of-series, which is three games for division jumps or five games for tier moves.

After Guan Sha finished speaking, she hurriedly ran up to the second floor.

Guan He also played League of Legends before. At that time, he basically ganged up with Xie Wenxing. The latter liked all positions to show off and Guan He was forced by him to play either the auxiliary or top lane.

When Guan Sha ran back, she just witnessed the five kills. The little girl screamed in Guan He’s ear, and finally the crystal burst, Guan He almost turned deaf. 

Guan Sha: “He’s a god! He is my god! Long live* Brother Touch!!!!”

*Long live (the king, the revolution etc)!; Your Majesty; His Majesty

Guan Sha: “Do you know who you played the game with just now?” 

Of course Guan He knew. The first day he invested in Blue Whale, he had seen Xie Wenxing’s name on the contract, but he shook his head.

Guan Sha: “Brother Touch ah! The main anchor of Blue Whale live broadcast is the company you recently invested in. A year ago, he began to live stream the process of hitting the top ten Korean Hanbok. He can play any position except for support because he doesn’t like it. His best show is ADC (*marksman), he’s a tyrant in the bottom……”

*一年前他开始直播自己打上韩服前十的过程 Not sure about the italicized sentence. 

As she spoke, she gradually lowered her voice under Guan He’s gaze.

She looked at Guan He again.

His eyes were so dark that they looked like the bottom of the sea and no emotions could be seen. But at any rate, they are also brothers and sisters; Guan Sha knows that his eldest brother is probably not in a good mood right now.

Guan Sha didn’t know that when Guan He typed those words, his heart was far more complicated than she thought.

On the one hand, he hated Xie Wenxing, an unfamiliar wolf cub, for what he did back then; but on the other hand, there was always a feeling that lotus may break, but the fiber remains joined* and it’s impossible to get rid of.

*lovers part, but still long for one another

His life had been smooth sailing, he was always flattered by others wherever he goes. It stands to reason that he shouldn’t eat back grass at all.* Xie Wenxing treated him that way back then. If he pays attention to this person again, he will not be different from a fool.

*should not regret what you have done or should not entangle again after breaking up.

But——

Guan He asked: "What is his live room number?"

The author has something to say:

A new pit is opened.
