| Marry Me, I'm Super Well-Behaved [Esports] (MARRY ME) |
Ning Nanzhou had a dream.
In it, he slept with a stranger who looked just like Chi Yu.
It was his first time dreaming like this. His face burned in the dream, and he buried it in his pillow, refusing to look at the man behind him.
Perhaps because it was a dream, the stranger looked more and more like Chi Yu.
Like the long hair cascading over his butterfly bones, the injured arm, or the slender fingers with faint calluses that repeatedly brushed against his sensitive skin.
He disliked physical contact with others, so when he realized what was happening, he tried to break free, but the other quickly found his weak spot by gently licking his delicate earlobe.
The sensation was utterly overwhelming.
When those strong, slender hands caressed his skin, the roughness of the calluses sending shivers down his spine, his mind would drift to Chi Yu on the podium—were those the same hands that held the Three-time Champion trophy?
So gentle.
Yet marked with scars.
...
The next day, Ning Nanzhou was jolted awake by a barrage of messages.
[Xu Ye] ??? Where are you?
[Xu Ye] You’ve got guts, skipping Old Wang’s class. If you don’t reply, I’m calling the cops.
[Xu Ye] Where are you where are you where are you!!!!
[Starry Sky TV] This is an ominous notice. Receiving this means you streamed for less than seven hours yesterday. Please make up the time within the next two weeks, or you’ll forfeit this month’s attendance bonus.
[FKW Official Merch] Dear customer, the signed poster you inquired about is back in stock!
...
Ning Nanzhou had no idea how long he’d slept. His head was heavy as he groggily grabbed his phone.
The black-haired young man lay curled on his side, eyes still closed as he replied to Xu Ye with a lazy "Not dead yet." Seeing the system notice, he tried to muster the energy to make up his streaming hours, but his body refused to cooperate.
Then his gaze landed on the words "signed poster," and his eyes snapped open in an instant!
He’d wanted this poster for ages, but Chi Yu’s fans had the reflexes of a decade-long single—it sold out the moment it dropped. He’d been pestering the store daily about restocks.
Without hesitation, he asked the seller for the price. The reply came shortly after.
[FKW Official Merch] This time, the poster comes in an upgraded gift set! Includes the full team’s signed poster and World Championship commemorative stickers. The deluxe edition is only 4999, with support for Huabei payments! (heart)
"Only" 4999…
And it was a full-team bundle. What kind of sucker would buy that??!
He scoffed inwardly—but he wanted Chi Yu’s signature so badly. After two seconds of hesitation, the sucker humbly asked:
[I’ll Cut My Hand If I Buy More Merch] Can you go any lower?
Even if he couldn’t afford it right now, the store accepted Huabei. He could just starve next month.
This time, the reply was lightning-fast.
[FKW Official Merch] Sweetie, this is already the lowest price! Feel free to check elsewhere, but we’re officially licensed—100% authentic.
Ning Nanzhou’s head still felt foggy. He decided to sit up and think it over properly.
Then he remembered last night’s dream and froze. After years of reading Haitang, he’d never had a dream like that. Why last night?
At least it was just a dream.
He sighed in relief and reached for his clothes to get out of bed.
But his movement halted mid-motion.
Why did his lower half hurt so much?
And why was his entire body sore?
And why couldn’t he pull the blanket free?
Slowly, he turned to look behind him.
Someone was sleeping beside him.
Their bodies were tightly intertwined.
Long black hair obscured most of the person’s face, leaving only a sharp jawline visible.
Ning Nanzhou’s blood ran cold.
Had the events in his dream… been real?
Had he actually slept with a stranger?!
His gaze shifted around the room. A luxurious cashmere wool blanket lay under the bed, its edges outlined in gold thread, and the dark curtains were drawn tightly, creating an environment that was both comfortable and ambiguous.
Staring at the unfamiliar hotel surroundings, fragmented memories began to surface in his mind.
He recalled yesterday's events with a delayed realization: he had accidentally drunk too much at the bar, stepped outside for some fresh air, and unintentionally bumped into someone, then inadvertently held onto that person, refusing to let go.
Well, it was he who took the initiative to hold onto the person and not let go.
What a simple and crude beginning to a one-night stand...
Although he was now an adult and had felt quite comfortable yesterday, the other party had an inexplicable resemblance to Chi Yu.
Of course, he didn’t think it was Chi Yu; his idol wouldn’t be like this, and he hardly drank at all.
In any case, Ning Nanzhou, who had always resisted physical contact, was still strongly impacted!
How could he have actively engaged in a one-night stand and still have the audacity to tell his online friends that he was socially inept in the future??
The other party seemed to sense his movements, and the face under the blanket began to lift, instinctively curling inward.
It seemed to become second nature; he took a deep breath and glanced at the date on his phone.
It turned out it wasn’t just one night; it was two days and two nights!
It was already the third day and still...
He cursed under his breath, preparing to wake the other person up, when messages from the seller kept coming in.
【FKW Official Merchandise】Hey, have you thought about it? There are a lot of people in line!
【FKW Official Merchandise】If you really have financial difficulties, the price is negotiable. How about this, 4500? Just don’t mention it outside.
【FKW Official Merchandise】4500 is really the lowest price; you won’t find it cheaper anywhere else. If it doesn’t work, I can throw in a set of World Championship commemorative badges. Can you give me a word?
The market price for the S13 commemorative badge was 1500, and this price was significantly discounted compared to before, practically a loss for the seller, but Ning Nanzhou struggled to refuse.
The seller seemed incredulous that he would decline, asking in disbelief.
【FKW Official Merchandise】Why?!
Why?
Ning Nanzhou found it hard to answer because in that split second he turned around, he saw a face that looked exactly like Chi Yu’s.
How could it be Chi Yu ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
(○o○)、(☆▽☆）、(⊙o⊙)、(☆′ 3 )、(′⊙ω⊙)、(//д′//）!
This was a true reflection of his inner thoughts; he swallowed hard, forgetting the purpose of his turn.
If he were a zombie, he would have been shocked enough to let out a groan and have his head fall off.
He was no different from a headless chicken now, completely clueless about what to do, while still staring at that face so close to him, and even wanted to touch the other person to see if it was real.
But if I just reach out and touch him like this, wouldn't I be seen as a pervert?!
At that moment, the man woke up, opening his dark, ebony-like eyes, his long hair cascading down as he murmured, "Sorry, I drank too much."
The moment his voice sounded, Ning Nanzhou's turbulent inner turmoil instantly vanished, leaving him frozen in place, unable to move.
The man's gaze slowly drifted downward, finally settling on the end of the embrace, and he added softly, "I did something inappropriate to you."
Ning Nanzhou knew Chi Yu was a lightweight—he rarely drank. He must have been too happy after yesterday's championship win.
He ended up comforting the other instead: "Things like this happen all the time. Don’t take it to heart. Just pretend it never happened."
He was being cunning too! By being so understanding, the other would most likely not refuse to give him an autograph.
After listening, the man gave a faint "Mm." Just as Ning Nanzhou was about to seize the moment to ask for that signature—
The other wrapped an arm around his clothed body, his silver-white hair brushing against his neck and his calm voice whispering by his ear.
"Want to get married?"
