It is said that when words are spoken, one realizes the harshness of what was said.
However, once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back. There is no reason to take back what has been said.
He continued to calmly gaze at Xiao Yin.
Xiao Yin lowered his eyebrows and looked at him intently, saying, “Hmm?â€
He is a wicked person.
You can’t figure out his intentions because he has no expression. There is no narrowness in his eyes, no hidden smile. He looks distant and indifferent, extremely serious. You don’t know if he genuinely didn’t hear or if he pretended not to.
If he were pretending, you wouldn’t be able to forgive yourself.
Rong Yi looked around.
Ci She, Hui Mao, and Wu Dao Gu were all wearing noise-canceling headphones, lively in the livestream room. There wouldn’t be anyone around to mock them.
Rong Yi also became rebellious. He sat in his chair and adjusted the headphones in his hands. Suddenly, he kicked Xiao Yin’s chair with his toe, pulling him closer to himself.
Xiao Yin leaned over, out of sight of the camera, and approached his ear. His voice was barely audible.
“Husband.â€
There was a momentary pause in Xiao Yin’s breathing.
Rong Yi understood. This person was just pretending.
His face remained unchanged, but his heart was pounding. He didn’t look at him and returned to his workstation, pushing Xiao Yin’s chair back.
He won’t lose to endurance.
Rong Yi picked up his headphones and put them on, looking calm with no trace of flaws. “Let’s continue with Room 347652. I’ll reserve a spot for Brother Yin in advance. Everyone can enjoy a free carry by Brother Yin to a higher rank.â€
Rong Yi pulled Xiao Yin and looked at him, and Xiao Yin was still looking at him, his brows slightly furrowed.
Staring at someone was quite pressuring.
The live comments were right.
Their Brother Yin was truly inscrutable, always unreadable, always maintaining a certain distance in his expression.
Such a cool guy.
But Rong Yi had figured him out now; he was no longer afraid of him.
Rong Yi looked back at him calmly and said, “Are you coming? I’ve sent you an invitation.â€
Only then did Xiao Yin turn to look at his own screen and accept the invitation.
The audience in the live chat suddenly noticed that their Brother Yin had stopped talking.
Xiao Yin, who had been actively replying to comments, seemed to be focused on something else.
Rong Yi activated the team voice chat and waited for the game to start.
He continued reading the comments.
But this time, Rong Yi was the one reading the comments.
“Easy! God E, take a look at me. Although you’ve never shown your face, it feels like you dress really well. I saw you in the first outdoor shooting, wearing a light yellow hoodie and a baseball cap.â€
“Ci She also said Captain Rong has a great outfit. He just mentioned that the captain was wearing something green. Can we have a link?â€
“Green?â€
“Sister +1! I also want to wear the same outfit as the captain! I’ve already bought the captain’s keyboard!â€
Rong Yi thought for a moment and involuntarily put his legs up on the gaming chair. He took out his phone and sent Ci She the link.
His clothes were all from his personal collection, ranging from the highest price of a thousand yuan to the lowest price of ten yuan from a roadside stall.
The live chat was asking him about his fashion preferences.
It seemed like they also wanted to meet him in person in the future.
Rong Yi didn’t mind being recognized; he just didn’t like being photographed. He said, “I’ve worn a set before that I really liked, a deep green sun protection shirt with a casual style. I’ll show you the brand logo.â€
His outfits were all eye-catching, with a youthful and sunny vibe.
The live chat viewers were both requesting the same outfit and sighing in admiration.
[“Captain has such great taste. Countless people say he’s handsome, but unfortunately, we’ve never seen him.â€]
[“What… is the captain wearing that outfit? I work at the League building, and the last time I was getting coffee, I saw someone wearing a green outfit talking to Lin Yi. Could it be Easy himself?â€]
[“Missed the chance for an autograph! Missed the chance to meet Easy in person!â€]
Rong Yi unexpectedly developed the skill of introducing fashion combinations, and VIT’s operations department began to rejoice and jump around in the livestream room.
[VIT Operations Team]: “Clothing collaboration, come, understand?â€
Audience: “But since the captain doesn’t show his face, can’t he accept this kind of advertisement?â€
The operations team silenced the audience.
Rong Yi almost laughed out loud.
However, he still introduced earnestly, “I usually like to wear casual clothing, and mixing and matching can look really good.â€
Just then, Rong Yi’s phone made a “ding†sound.
Rong Yi glanced down and saw that the operations team had mentioned him in the group chat, causing a bunch of people to burst into laughter.
“You know what? There was actually a clothing company that approached the captain, but we turned them down. Even Brother Yin thought their product images weren’t suitable.â€
“They said since we don’t show our faces and have never shown them before, the captain shouldn’t worry.â€
“But in reality, only we know that the captain doesn’t actually fall into the category of not showing his face. So we rejected it, but they were persistent, saying that their new products are very popular and wanted everyone in the team to try them.â€
“Our club’s address is public, so they just sent the products directly. Can you guess what kind of clothes they sell?â€
“Clothing for passion, fun, and lingerie.â€
“Guess what? They also said that anyone in the team who is interested can give it a try. It’s hilarious. They even said the samples don’t need to be returned. They’re still sitting at the front desk on the first floor. No one has claimed them yet.â€
Rong Yi only learned about this today, and after reading the message, he started laughing too.
The barrage asked him what he was laughing about.
Rong Yi casually repeated the conversation from the group chat.
“Just found out that a partner approached me and sent samples of inappropriate underwear for children.â€
Rong Yi laughed while his on-screen character moved chaotically, teleporting all over the place, coming to his rescue.
“Is it difficult to find collaborations for such products?â€
The commenters in the barrage became spirited. [“Inappropriate underwear for children? Show us! Show us! Duck jumps.â€]
[“Which one? If the captain dares to sell them, we dare to buy them!!!â€]
“That’s it.†Rong Yi finished laughing, turned down the volume, and his voice remained light with a lingering smile, very bright. “The boss rejected it long ago. The boss knows what they look like.â€
After he finished speaking, he remembered that the boss was right next to him.
Rong Yi turned his head and asked him, “Boss, what do they look like? Have you seen the actual product images?â€
Xiao Yin’s gaze fell on him, as if he remembered something.
But after a few seconds, Xiao Yin’s voice sounded cold and restrained.
“I don’t remember.â€
Xiao Yin glanced at him and then lowered his head to send a message.
Rong Yi immediately saw that Xiao Yin had selected his chat page.
Their last conversation was three days ago. The content of the conversation was: “Replay data backup.zip.â€
Rong Yi looked at Xiao Yin, who was sending him a message right in front of him.
“Shall we take a look later?â€
Rong Yi’s ears instantly turned red.
He quickly replied, “No, no.â€
He originally wanted to tease Xiao Yin, but ended up dragging himself into it.
He was actually a bit afraid that Xiao Yin would take it seriously.
With that topic over, Rong Yi read a few more comments and successfully wrapped up the livestream for the night.
The people around him took off their headphones, stood up, stretched, and discussed what to have for supper. Several kids had already gone downstairs.
Xiao Yin remained seated in his chair, unmoving. He still had his headphones on, calmly browsing through other information after closing the livestream page.
“We’ll leave first, boss,†the staff members said.
“Yeah, okay. Rest well, you’ve worked overtime today,†Xiao Yin replied.
Rong Yi remained composed and blended in, saying, “There’s nothing else for me, so I’ll head downstairs too.â€
“Captain and I will stay a little longer,†Xiao Yin quickly said, reaching out to grab his wrist.
Rong Yi was restrained by Xiao Yin’s grip, unable to move, and could only watch as Xiao Yin calmly replied to messages, shut down the computer, and confirmed that all audio devices had been turned off, one by one.
Even though they were so familiar with each other, even though it wasn’t the first time.
But Rong Yi’s heart was beating rapidly.
Finally done with what he was busy with, Xiao Yin turned slowly, looking at him politely.
“Does the captain want to do it himself, or should I do it?â€
“Captain,†Rong Yi swallowed and moistened his lips. “–I want to run.â€
He actually ran.
Rong Yi stood up from his seat and rushed towards the exit. Xiao Yin’s strides were longer than his, and in the shadows of the corridor after turning off the lights, Xiao Yin covered Rong Yi’s mouth and pulled him into the darkness.
Both of them stifled their laughter silently.
The hand covering Rong Yi’s mouth belonged to Xiao Yin—large and powerful, with long knuckles. The cold scent of mint carried a subtle but overwhelming pressure, making Rong Yi’s heart beat like a drum.
“I want to run.â€
Xiao Yin repeated in a low voice near his ear, still exceptionally polite, his voice gentle and pleasing. “Why does Captain Rong want to run?â€
Rong Yi could hardly hold it in any longer. He bit his lip and, like a mosquito buzzing, uttered a few words.
Because I’m going to beg you to stop again.
The corner of Xiao Yin’s lips curved.
First, he kissed the back of Rong Yi’s neck. His voice murmured.
“The captain knows his limits.â€
The recording studio was on the third floor, and their bedroom was just downstairs.
Everyone else had gone to the living room, leaving Rong Yi and Xiao Yin to enter the room quietly.
Rong Yi clung to Xiao Yin and was carried into the room.
He heard Xiao Yin taking something out from the side, the sound of tearing packaging indicating that it wasn’t their usual small items but something else.
Rong Yi leaned in to take a look.
“What is it?â€
His voice was husky.
Xiao Yin tore off the packaging and handed the item to him.
“A sample.â€
“I had Xiao Tang bring it up.â€
Rong Yi’s gaze fell on Xiao Yin’s hand.
This time, his breathing stalled.
These were the samples mentioned in the live broadcast just now.
Pure black grid, check.
Transparent lace, check.
Women’s clothing, check.
Certain plush animal parts, check.
A few threads wrapped around strips of cloth, daring to call themselves clothes, check.
And there was one sample specifically marked: “Easy to tear.â€
Xiao Yin knelt on the bed and kissed his earlobe.
Rong Yi felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. “D-Do I really have to choose?â€
“No.â€
Xiao Yin nibbled on his ear, causing Rong Yi to tremble slightly.
“We have to try every single one.â€
