Z: Apologies. Due to my class starting, I can’t place my priorities on translating novels unlike last month that I was on Christmas break. Updates on this novel will be sporadic.

Chapter 5
The day after the annual meeting, Xie Wenxing went home and started a live broadcast.
Usually, his live broadcast room has about one to two million viewers, but not long after it opened today, the number of people reached more than two and a half million. Thinking that it should be because of the effect of the annual meeting, Xie Wenxing looked at the barrage, and it was not surprising.
[New fan report! The room card has been completed]
[Wife card]
[Daughter card]
[After last night’s show, there are many more little sisters in the live room. I’m so fucking jealous.]
[No one refuses the fact that Old Touch is now the anchor with the most female fans in the League of Legends area, right?]
“No one is refuting,” Xie Wenxie said, “I’m raising my daughter ne.”
There are several male fans who were saying yingyingying;* Xie Wenxing saw the situation and laughed, “Raise a son too.”
*crying cutely
He logged into the League of Legends and went out to Fight the Landlord while waiting in line. The atmosphere in the barrage was good and there was a lot of talk about last night’s annual meeting.
Someone suddenly said: [Listening to the Blue Whale’s insiders said that at Touch God’s dinner table, he admitted that there was someone he likes. Is that true?]
[Ignore, trolling]
[I’m trolling tonight, dead mom,* really do]
*expletives
[Blindly fabricating rumors, I’m already married to Touch]
More and more people were discussing the topic, almost all of them were going to fill the screen. Xie Wenxing knows that he can’t avoid it; he clicked the mouse to play the card, “I have someone I like.”
The live broadcast room exploded. The barrage rhythm was frantic and countless female fans shed tears of heartache. Xie Wenxing laughed while watching, “Leaving fan? Well ba, I can’t help it.”
[Leaving fan to be your daughter]
[Dad, who is my mom?]
[Wait wait wait wait, don’t rush to call mom. The person Old Touch likes is not necessarily a girl]
[Don’t make a fuss, Old Touch is a straight man at a glance]
Since the gay marriage law was enacted two years ago, the public’s acceptance of homosexuality has risen a lot. Previously, there have been several anchors in the League of Legends who have publicly admitted their sexuality. Xie Wenxing hesitated for a moment. He was about to speak when he suddenly saw a barrage:
[Fuck, did my vision blurred? Blue Whale’s boss came in?]
When a new viewer enters the live, the system will be prompted. Another barrage floated by: [Brother has sharp eyes, it is really Guan He].
Xie Wenxing was glad that he didn’t speak out his words. Most of the viewers were still speculating about his sexual orientation; Xie Wenxing said, “Straight, steel straight.”
With that, he closed most of the barrage. At the same time, there was a pang of fear in his heart. Fortunately, I was right……
After a few days of peace and quiet, Xie Wenxing received a notice from Blue Whale headquarters. They asked him to go to the Magic City, saying that Guan He wanted to talk to him personally about the contract that had been dragged on for so long.
*
Guan He’s office was on the top floor. The room was warm as spring even in winter.
There are only one desk and two computers in the large, almost luxurious space. The futuristic spray-painted glass complements the all-white walls. The overall decoration is neat and frigid and the only warmer thing is the thick plush carpet on the floor and the two decorative green plants.

It can be seen from the incredibly simple desk that Guan He does not often come here.
It’s no wonder that Blue Whale is just one of the enterprises held by Shenquan. If Guan He puts too much energy into Blue Whale, such as personally talking to an anchor about a contract or something…… Hold on, Xie Wenxing warned himself not to think about it.
Unlike the previous meetings, Guan He was dressed casually today. Perhaps it was these clothes that made Guan He looks less unattainable, Xie Wenxing always felt that the other party seemed to be shining which is particularly attractive to him.
Xie Wenxing was the first to break the silence, “Mr. Guan asks me to discuss about the contract?”
Guan He: “Have a seat. Do you want something to drink?”
Xie Wenxing said there was no need and sat, Guan He also sat down opposite him. There was a desk between them and the atmosphere was quite subtle.
Guan He said, “I read your contract. Did you just jump to Blue Whale not long ago? Chen Jue who was originally responsible for your financing left, but he discussed to you about the eight million that has not been implemented.”
Xie Wenxing responded.
Guan He: “I want to sign a new contract with you and the previous one is null and void. The price is tripled and the time is still three years.”
Xie Wenxing calculated, tripling eight million to twenty-four million?
He did the math again to make sure he was right and Xie Wenxing’s eyes became a little uncertain when he looked at Guan He. It’s true that it’s normal for a major domestic anchor to have a contract worth tens of millions but he is not considered a top anchor now and he’s not worth the price. Guan He won’t sign Flash; they think that the e-sports industry will start at tens of millions of amount, right? The price of an anchor and a professional player is different.
As if he could see Xie Wenxing’s doubts, Guan He handed him a loaded contract on the table. “The contract has been printed, you can see for yourself.”
Xie Wenxing skimmed down the most important parties, Party A and Party B. The amount, time, and other contents are indeed exactly the same as Guan He said, but seeing the following……
Xie Wenxing was silent for a long time, “Mr. Guan is teasing me?”
He also stopped looking at the contract. After putting the thing on the table, Xie Wenxing stared at Guan He with a smile but not a smile. His hair is fluffy, his eyes are a little scornful, and his appearance should be attractive to girls.
“What’s the matter?”
“You still pretend,” Probably too angry, Xie Wenxing instantly forgot that the other party is the boss with the power of life and death. “Haven’t you read this contract? You don’t know what’s written here?”
After he finished speaking, he saw Guan He’s face still unchanged. “……you really haven’t read it?”
“I’ve seen it, this is what I drafted.”
“Holy shit,” Xie Wenxing could not help but burst out foul language. “Are you crazy? Marriage contract?”
Under those normal content, a line of words can almost be called abruptly announcing that Party A and Party B are married and have shared possession of the property during the period of the contract. Xie Wenxing also saw this and realized that there was something wrong with the contract. He did not sign a contract with Blue Whale live but crossed the platform and directly signed a contract with Guan He.
“Since I returned to China a year ago, my mother has been helping me to find a suitable marriage partner. Last month, she found the only daughter of the Pei family, she thinks we are a good match in every way.*” Guan He said, “In fact, I have no impression of her at all, the only thing I remember is probably that she still had a runny nose when she was five years old……”
*the families are well-matched in terms of social status (idiom); (of a prospective marriage partner) an appropriate match
Imagining a strange girl would become his Mrs. Guan, Xie Wenxing’s tone was somewhat unkind, “You don’t want Lu Yaoyao?”
Guan He gave him a look and just assumed he was still talking angrily, “I don’t want to marry a stranger but my family is forceful and strict, and even without Miss Pei, there will still be many blind dates. Fake marriage is the best way.”
“Casually finding someone, my mother will not believe it. You’re different, she knows what happened when were in high school. It is quite acceptable for the elders to rekindle old feelings.”
Clearly well-founded, what’s more, the contract also said that the property belongs to both parties, so he made sure to earn money without losing any money with Guan He’s network. But the more Xie Wenxing listened, the more he felt angry. What is this? What does Guan He take him for? Transaction? Commodity?
Xie Wenxing was so angry that he almost irresponsibly said, “Impossible, I’m not of the same sex——"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Guan He’s eyes changed.
Xie Wenxing was remorseful, only then did he react to the fact that he had stepped on the forbidden zone of Guan He. Xie Wenxing looked at the eyes that were close at hand and only felt that he had released some scourge from the cage with his own hands.
Guan He smiled, his smile was very shallow, “You’re not what?”
“……” The-Dead-Xie Wenxing did not dare to say the three words ‘homosexual’.*
*homosexual: 同性恋 (3 words in the raw)
He did not expect that the incident back then had cast such a big shadow on Guan He. Xie Wenxing both felt regret and heartache, he can only be a dead duck with a hard mouth.* “What, are you also not?”
*means the person is stubborn to a fault. Everyone thinks he is wrong, but he doesn’t admit it.
Guan He ignored him, “If you do not agree, the platform will no longer push your homepage, suppress all your activities, and at the same time expose your black material out of nothing. You have signed a contract with Blue Whale for three years unless someone is willing to help you pay for the breach of contract, Blue Whale can target you for these three years.”
Xie Wenxing’s eyes widened slightly, “Aren’t you afraid of losing money?”
Guan He asked in return, "Why should I be afraid?"
Yes ah, why should Guan He be afraid?
Only then did Xie Wenxing realized that his understanding had gone wrong. He thought he was the rouge and Guan He has always been a good student and a good leader.
Unexpectedly, the other party is indeed not a rogue. After taking off that elegant disguise, Guan He was essentially a robber.
Probably because he felt that he was pushing him too hard, Guan He loosened the thread in his hand and said at the right time, “You can think about it for a while and give me an answer next week at the latest.”
Xie Wenxing did not speak. He stared at Guan He’s flawless face; the other party patiently met him face to face. After a long time, Xie Wenxing’s voice was a bit hoarse. “If I agree to get married, what do I need to do?”
“Meet my parents and hold a wedding; you know my friends, I know your friends; pretend to be intimate in front of outsiders if necessary; there may be interviews and you need to explain our relationship to many people.” As if it wasn’t stimulating enough, Guan He slightly raised his lips. “No need to pretend in sex-life but I will hug you, hold your hand, possibly help you to organize your clothes, and maybe even kiss.”
Such a simple depiction actually has the power to make one’s blood boil. He didn’t even know whether to blame Guan He for speaking too indecently or himself for being too unworthy. Xie Wenxing tried to make himself look like a straight man who has been through many battles, instead of a single dog who had never looked for a partner since breaking up with Guan He. “What kind of kiss?”
(this translation is only here on ztranslations.blogspot.com otherwise, stolen)
“What kind of kiss do you think it is?” Guan He calmly stated, “Of course it’s the tongue-licking kind.”
Xie Wenxing's ears were a little hot.
This……is too much, right?
He did not speak nor did he look at Guan He, and he appeared to be somewhat hesitant. In the eyes of another person, it’s Xie Wenxing who can’t handle hugging with a man.
“If you don’t like it, none of this is necessary.” Guan He’s expression looked cold, “It’s fine if you live with me but you can’t fall in love with other people during the contract period.”
Guan He seemed to warn him, his eyes darkened slightly, “Especially the girl you like, break up with her.”
