After thinking about it for a while, Xie Wenxing reacted to Guan He because he said he was steel straight during the live broadcast, coupled with the misunderstanding of the game at the dinner table a few days ago. The misunderstanding is a misunderstanding, a marriage contract is still on the table. Even if the marriage contract is a complete deal for another person, Xie Wenxing is willing to put himself in.
He felt a bit saddened, afraid that Guan He would notice so he kept his voice as low as possible, “Alright ah.”
When he unexpectedly agreed, the person on the other side of the table was quiet. It was only after a long time that Xie Wenxing heard Guan He say, “You’re really casual.”
Xie Wenxing raised his eyebrows, the atmosphere was subtle for a while. Fortunately, Guan He brought back the topic again. “Do you want to think about it for a week or sign now?”
"Sign now."
Xie Wenxing has always done things whatever he wants without preparation but Guan He is the opposite of him. Since high school, Guan He has been a good planner and since the latter had the intention of getting married, Xie Wenxing knew that he would eventually be dragged into the pirate ship.
He wrote his name at the end of the contract and just as he finished signing it, he heard Guan He asked, “Did you bring your ID card?”
“I did.”
“Let’s go and get a license. The Civil Affairs Bureau is two kilometers away.”

Even after entering Guan He’s house in the evening, Xie Wenxing still seemed like sleepwalking. Guan He lives in a villa in the center of the city, and the villa comes with a small courtyard but Xie Wenxing has seen on the news that the price of the houses in this neighborhood is comparable to that of the huge garden villas on the outskirts of the city.
After entering the door, Xie Wenxing put his hand in his trousers’ pocket and felt the hard paper product’s unique casing; he took it back as if being electrocuted.
Marriage certificate.
He has one here and Guan He has another identical one in his hand.
Without waiting for Xie Wenxing to continue digesting facts, a call pulled his thoughts back.
“Is Mr. Guan back?”
The visitor was a middle-aged woman with a smile on her slightly plump face and Xie Wenxing felt a bit of familiarity for a moment. The other party was also looking at him and her eyes showed the same doubts as Xie Wenxing’s.
“Aunt Song,”* Guan He asked, “Is the dinner ready?”
*they are not really related
“It’s all ready. I made some spicy dishes as you ordered. Is this your friend?”
“This is Xiao Xie.” Guan He seemed to consider how to introduce Xie Wenxing, “We just got our marriage certificate this afternoon.”
Xie Wenxing now remembered where he had seen Aunt Song. Six or seven years ago, he went to Guan He’s house and at that time, there was a thirty-something housekeeper who also has slightly plump cheeks and often smiles.
Obviously, Xie Wenxing’s surname reminded Aunt Song of him as well. The emotion on her face was fleeting; even if she was surprised, she didn’t mean to be too curious about the host family’s private affairs.
Gua He took Xie Wenxing to familiarize himself with the environment and Aunt Song went to the kitchen. Guan He’s usual taste is light and basically not very spicy. No wonder he had an unusual request today.
She still remembers Xie Wenxing.
Can there be no impression? On Lunar New Year’s Eve, Guan He took a phone call and left his family behind. It was still snowing heavily in the capital those days. Guan He came back with an umbrella, a dark green umbrella full of snow. The snow fell on Guan He’s shoulders but the other boy under the umbrella was clean.
Guan He said he brought home his junior schoolmate. This junior schoolmate’s family had some temporary accidents and spent the Lunar New Year’s eve in their home. Madam Guan who was distressed sent the two children to take a bath. Aunt Song still remembers Madam Guan’s reproach.

She said that fortunately, Guan He brought home the boy. If he were a girl, her son might not even want her mother in the future.
From the memories, Aunt Song looked at the prepared dishes and was a bit worried.
She cooked congee for dinner, thinking of nourishing the stomach. Yet Guan He has brought a person home and also received the red book,* should she make something nutritious……to nourish it?
*marriage certificates, which are red in color.

After dinner, Xie Wenxing went to the secondary room to do a live broadcast. Originally, he had booked a hotel for two nights but Guan He said that he had already signed the contract and they would live together starting today. Xie Wenxing can only take his luggage over.
In fact, he actually did not bring anything. The biggest piece is his computer, the hotel, and Guan He’s home does not have a suitable camera; Xie Wenxing said to the audience, “Not at home today, not turning on the camera.”
The barrage has said that it’s very sad not to see the hands of God Touch, the sexiest part in his entire body is the hand that strikes the keyboard.
Xie Wenxing smirked in front of the computer with a cigarette in his mouth. Just as he was about to start lining up, someone knocked on the door outside. He stood up and walked to the door.
The light in the hallway was warm, reflecting Guan He’s face; the man’s skin was incredibly good. Guan He sent the things in his hand forward, “Aunt Song made the soup, she instructed me to give it to you before she left.”
“Thank you,” Xie Wenxing who was suddenly cared for by his elders was a bit surprised, “What kind of soup is this?”
“Goose stew with wolfberry.”
“Oh……”
“You must be busy ba.” Guan He turned around and left after saying that. Xie Wenxing returned to the computer table with the porcelain bowl that was still steaming.
[Touch, what have you been doing behind my back?]
[God Touch’s extra meal? Heard the word soup]
[Soup, what soup. There’s no time, queue up and be a demon]
“Someone just sent soup.” Xie Wenxing put down his cigarette. “Laozi,1 is drinking soup and you even want to spray me?”2
1I, your father
2Attacking with language; scolding;
[Spray, what spray. Your dead mom,1 can the housekeeper2 seal these wild dogs?]
1expletives means f you.
2The one who has the authority to manage the live broadcast (e.g. block inappropriate comments)
[What soup did Old Touch drink?]
“Goose stew with wolfberry,” Xie Wenxing stirred the spoon, “It’s quite fragrant.”
[Chinese wolfberry……]
[with goose……]
[The person delivering the soup is not a girl, right? Fuck me hahaha this girl is very energetic]
[Oh my god oh my god. Wolfberry and goose warm the kidneys to help Yang, the girl hints so clearly. Touch God, quickly do her]
Xie Wenxing opened the ranking panel, his live room has turned into a car accident scene, various old drivers have explained one after the other wonderful use of wolfberry and goose; a good bowl of soup was extremely explicit by them. Even if the first Xie Wenxing took Katarina, when he was hammered to death by Lucian due to his mistake, the barrage jeered at his little sister who delivered soup with good intention, full of coquettish operations.
*Katarina: (Apologies, I forgot to add the pictures.)
“Don’t fucking talk nonsense you guys.” Xie Wenxing’s ears were a little hot, remembering that Guan He had entered his live broadcast room a few days ago. If the other party came in at this time, he would have caught sight of this exceptional scene. “Who is going to disturb the housekeeper to seal who ah.”

As soon as his words fell, there was a system prompt:
【”Su Mu” gave “Lu Yaoyao” a blue whale.】
【”Su Mu” gave “Lu Yaoyao” a blue whale.】
【”Su Mu” gave “Lu Yaoyao” a blue whale.】
Since the blue whale is the most expensive gift on the live streaming platform, if one gifts a blue whale, the system will push the whole platform. Xie Wenxing also saw this message in his own live stream. He originally thought that Su Mu was the new local tyrant who gave Lu Yaoyao a gift. When he looked up, he saw the barrage of discussions:
[First sister abused a dog as soon as she announced her relationship today]
[Really fucking awesome. The first sister and Su Mu have been running long distances for seven years. I began to believe in love again]
[Light love only has few uses. If Su Mu has no money, will Lu Yaoyao follow him? Su Mu has been brushing gifts for a day]
“You guys are saying,” Xie Wenxing asked, “First sister has a boyfriend? Is this Su Mu?”
[It was announced on Weibo in the morning. Momo did not see it?]
*Mo (pinyin) means touch. Will use it interchangeably. In case you guys forgot~
[Look at our Touch God who is still a single dog. When will he chase after the little sister he likes?]
Lu Yaoyao actually has a boyfriend and it’s also in a seven-year relationship.
No wonder……
No wonder Guan He sought him out to get married. He had always pondered why Guan He did not simply marry Lu Yayao and even whimsically hoped that Guan He drank the third cup of wine because……
Xie Wenxing squeezed the mouse tightly.
Lu Yaoyao did not accept Guan He, it is expedient for Guan He to choose to marry him. These thoughts of his were really self-serving* and thorough.
*to imagine that one's love is reciprocated; to shower affection on an uninterested party
After the broadcast, Xie Wenxing went to Weibo. He found Lu Yaoyao among his followers and on top was the news of her relationship announcement. In addition to an @ account calling out to an ID named Sumu Mu Mu, announcing that this is her boyfriend, Lu Yaoyao also said that she had renewed her contract with Blue Whale.
Lu Yaoyao has been in Blue Whale Live for three years and this year is the end of her contract. There are rumors that Blue Whale does not intend to continue to renew her contract and Lu Yaoyao herself is also considering other platforms. As soon as this Weibo was posted, the previous rumors that she had moved to other platforms were destroyed.
Xie Wenxing saw the last few lines of her Weibo.
【…… The new boss is very easy to talk with. After discussing with him the day before the annual meeting, my contract was settled directly. The conditions were far better than imagined, worthy of my male god ah. (hua chi)* (shy)】
*flower idiot: I really don’t know how to properly say this in English but it means a girl who is infatuated with good-looking guys; a girl who is into looks; face-con.
Xie Wenxing closed the page silently after reading.
Lu Yaoyao said that Guan He and her contract renewal should be really given very good conditions. What about myself……?
Forget it. It’s good for him to look at this person up close. Even if Guan He only treats him as a shield and is filled with another person in his heart, what does that count.
Xie Wenxing thought, holding the empty porcelain bowl, and went downstairs. Perhaps the goose soup with wolfberry does have some effect, when he came out of the kitchen, Xie Wenxing felt his heart was dry. As soon as he touched a cigarette in his trouser pocket, he lit one.
Xie Wenxing went upstairs and met Guan He who came out; the two met in the hallway. Xie Wenxing still does not know how to face this person; puffing clouds of smoke, he heard Guan He’s voice.
“I thought you don’t smoke?” No emotions can be heard.
He didn’t smoke before. Previously, Guan He teased him with a cigarette and he told the latter that smoking was bad for his voice. Smoking will make his singing sound bad later on.
“There are a few people who don’t smoke in college, and I……I’m not a singer. If it breaks, it will break. It doesn’t matter.”
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Guan He, holding the last glimmer of hope to test. “Lu Yaoyao’s contract was signed on the day of the annual meeting? No wonder she was in a good mood that day……”
“You have signed the agreement yourself, you should know that the signing date is confidential.”
“…… En.”
Guan He’s attitude was cold and he didn’t even look in his eyes when he spoke. Xie Wenxing reluctantly agreed but his heart kept falling.
Guan He protects Lu Yaoyao like this and when he asked him this question, it made Guan He upset.
“Then I’m going to bed, you should also go to bed early.” After Xie Wenxing finished, he lowered his head and walked around the other side. He did not dare look at Guan He’s expression, afraid that there would be dissatisfaction besides the coldness.
The cigarette in his hand was hurriedly stuffed into his mouth. Only when he entered the room and closed the door did Xie Wenxing felt the pain coming from his lips.
He actually took the cigarette backwards and burned his lips.
Really, very hopeless.
