Chapter 98: The Suggestive Male Streamer
Xiao Fu hadn’t expected Chi Wang and Xie Siheng to talk so openly.
For a moment, he didn’t know whether to advance or retreat, so he stood there dumbfounded.
It was Chi Wang who noticed him and casually called out, “Brother.”
Xiao Fu snapped out of his daze and walked in with a complex expression.
He came to see Chi Wang every day. In fact, he didn’t have much to do when he visited, but he simply enjoyed coming. Whether he saw the baby or not didn’t matter much. To be honest, at that age, they all looked similar—no noticeable changes, couldn’t tell who the baby resembled. His main purpose was to see Chi Wang.
As usual, Xiao Fu inquired about Chi Wang’s well-being and carefully observed his complexion. Seeing that his skin was rosy and glowing, he had nothing more to say.
The staff at the care center indeed took excellent care of Chi Wang; he couldn’t find any faults.
He had recently heard about Xie Siheng’s vasectomy. Even if he had issues with Xie Siheng, he wouldn’t openly show it anymore.
Just the fact that Xie Siheng was willing to undergo a vasectomy earned Xiao Fu’s respect.
But he would never show that on his face. His one-sided grudge with Xie Siheng was far from over; he was just temporarily calling a truce for Chi Wang’s sake.
If one day Chi Wang grew tired of him and came back with the baby, he would still deal with Xie Siheng.
The reason Xiao Fu eventually agreed to their marriage was, first, because he knew it was what Chi Wang wanted, and second, because it’s better to guide than to obstruct. If he forcibly intervened like the Queen Mother [1], it would only make their love stronger.
So Xiao Fu’s current calmness wasn’t due to magnanimity or indulgence but because he still held hope that if Chi Wang grew tired or bored, the baby could return to his side.
For now, he would endure; at least on the surface, he had to coexist peacefully with Xie Siheng.
Xiao Fu chatted with Chi Wang for a bit and asked about the baby. Knowing that many people had come to see the baby today, he didn’t ask the nanny to bring him out. He had seen enough; it wouldn’t be too late to look more when An An’s facial features became clearer, and he could tell whom he resembled.
He didn’t stay long, fearing he might disturb Chi Wang’s rest. Before leaving, he reached out and patted Xie Siheng’s shoulder, signaling him to step outside.
Seeing this, Chi Wang became a bit nervous. Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Fu interrupted him, “I’m not going to do anything. I just want to chat with him. We’re family now; it’s appropriate to talk, right?”
Chi Wang: “…”
He looked at Xiao Fu with clear eyes, full of doubt.
Xiao Fu: “…”
Annoyed, he said, “Can’t you trust me a bit more? Even if we fought, do you think I could beat him?”
Look at how smitten he is. If he really acted like the Queen Mother, would Chi Wang still recognize him as his brother?
Chi Wang had no idea that Xiao Fu had unilaterally decided he was love-struck. If he knew, he would probably write ‘Injustice’ on his thigh. What slander! This was pure slander. Mainly, Xiao Fu had too many past records; it was normal for him to be a bit worried, right?
Chi Wang casually said, “I trust you, I trust you. Go ahead, but come back soon.”
Xiao Fu: “…”
Forget it; when children grow up, they don’t listen to their mothers.
Xie Siheng followed him outside. Only when they were quite a distance away did Xiao Fu grab Xie Siheng’s collar with a fierce expression and say, “No ten days and nights! Are you trying to exhaust Chi Wang to death??”
Xie Siheng: “…”
Xiao Fu aggressively said, “I’m warning you, don’t overindulge. Chi Wang is still young; don’t always drag him into bed.”
Xie Siheng’s thin eyelids drooped, almost peering at him through slits.
Seeing his expression, Xiao Fu got even more annoyed. Xie Siheng often looked at him like that, as if he despised him. What was there to look down on? What’s his problem!?
Xiao Fu said, “Did you hear me!?”
“…” Xie Siheng said unhurriedly, “I know, I won’t. Don’t worry.”
Xiao Fu released his collar. “You’d better keep your word. If I find out Chi Wang is exhausted, I won’t let you off.”
Xie Siheng: “…”
He didn’t retort.
Although he didn’t like Xiao Fu, for Chi Wang’s sake, he wouldn’t mock him as he did before.
After Xiao Fu finished his warnings, he left.
Xie Siheng returned to the room to see Chi Wang looking at him with a mix of tension, worry, and curiosity. His heart softened, and a slight smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. He walked over in big strides.
Chi Wang asked him, “What did my brother say to you?”
Xie Siheng replied calmly, “He told me not to overindulge and always drag you into bed.”
Chi Wang: “…”
He couldn’t help but laugh.
To be honest, before, it was more like he was always dragging Xie Siheng into bed, right?
Ah, it’s a bit embarrassing.
Thinking back, he wasn’t reserved at all back then.
But it did feel very good.
Chi Wang said to Xie Siheng, “Don’t listen to him. I’m young and full of vigor. If I don’t indulge now, should I wait until I’m seventy or eighty? Enjoy the moment!”
Looking at Chi Wang’s bright smile, Xie Siheng also smiled slightly. “Mm.”
The confinement period ended quickly.
Chi Wang’s final exam results came out. His grades had slipped slightly but he barely maintained first place in his major courses. As for the rest… forget it.
He shouldn’t even think about any awards.
“It’s okay,” he comforted himself. In his third year, he wouldn’t need to work part-time anymore. He could participate in competitions and see if he could get a national scholarship.
Going to university without getting a scholarship wouldn’t make sense, right?
Alright, he had plans for the next academic year.
After the confinement period, he wanted to exercise. Dr. Yu told him it was best not to; even after the confinement period, he needed at least three months to recuperate.
Chi Wang: “…”
Giving birth is too hard, really.
Whenever he had such thoughts, he would see An An, and all complaints would vanish.
Because after the confinement period, An An had grown!
Originally a bit red and dark, his skin became whiter day by day after half a month. By the time he was a month old, his whole body was snow-white. His eyes could open, and his eyelashes were super long and thick, like big fans, fluttering over his big eyes.
Chi Wang felt he could charm people with his eyes. After a few glances, he’d feel dizzy, clutching his chest and needing a moment to recover.
After An An could fully open his eyes, Chi Wang realized he did resemble him. At least, the eyes were very similar. His eye shape was round with a beautiful curve; An An’s were the same, and since infants’ eyes are larger, they looked even bigger than Chi Wang’s.
Sometimes Chi Wang wondered, could such a beautiful baby really be born by him?
But then he’d think, of course it could. He’s handsome, and Xie Siheng is even more stunning. How could their child not be good-looking?
It might be a bit inappropriate, but he was quite proud. To be able to give birth to such a beautiful baby—no wonder, whatever he did, he could do the best!
He’s so awesome!! (Thumbs up)
They didn’t invite too many people to the one-month celebration banquet. Chi Wang definitely wanted to invite his two roommates.
As for other friends… well, he didn’t invite them. Although it might be a bit hurtful, in Chi Wang’s mind, there were differences in closeness among friends.
If he invited other friends, he’d have to explain who gave birth to the baby, but with his roommates, there was no need—much more convenient.
In short, the one-month banquet concluded successfully.
Chi Wang received many gifts on behalf of the baby—a pile of gold lockets, gold bracelets, and gold anklets.
He also met Xie Siheng’s relatives, all of whom were easy to get along with. Chi Wang handled it with ease.
After the banquet, the baby was taken back by Chu Qing. Chi Wang and Xie Siheng went out for a stroll, enjoying time alone.
The summer days in H City were hot, and the evenings were stuffy and humid. Chi Wang wore a loose black T-shirt and shorts. His abdomen was completely flat, and his figure was much lighter.
He couldn’t help but walk faster. When they reached a bridge, Chi Wang tripped over his heel—a familiar feeling he hadn’t had in a long time!
Xie Siheng quickly reached out to grab him, but Chi Wang was even quicker, pushing him away. Then he braced himself with his hand on the ground, performing a half-street-dance move for Xie Siheng.
Skill activated: Impromptu Street Dance!
Xie Siheng: “…”
Being playful again, huh.
Chi Wang laughed as he got up, dusting off his hands, proudly saying, “My agility hasn’t diminished!”
Xie Siheng: “…Stop fooling around. If you really fell, wouldn’t it hurt?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Siheng realized that Chi Wang indeed wouldn’t feel much pain and fell silent.
He changed the subject, “Where did you learn street dance?”
Chi Wang said, “I learned it from classmates. How was it—pretty standard, right?”
Xie Siheng nodded and seriously praised, “Very standard, very nimble, quite pleasing to watch.”
Even though it was just a short segment, it attracted quite a few onlookers.
Chi Wang always had the ability to attract attention; no matter what he did, he shone brightly.
Being praised by Xie Siheng made Chi Wang grin widely. He wanted to find an open space to perform a full dance for Xie Siheng, but Xie Siheng stopped him, saying, “You just finished your confinement period; don’t dance.”
Chi Wang held back. Street dance indeed involved large movements. He lowered his voice and whispered to Xie Siheng, “I’ll dance for you another day—the suggestive kind.”
Xie Siheng’s eyes narrowed, wondering if he’d misheard. “What did you say?”
Chi Wang raised his voice, “Suggestive!”
Xie Siheng fell silent. After a moment, he said, “You know how to dance suggestively?”
Chi Wang openly said, “Piece of cake. I’ve learned it.”
Xie Siheng asked, “Why did you learn that?”
Chi Wang said, “Back in high school, I wanted to do more part-time jobs, so I went online to be a suggestive male streamer.”
Xie Siheng: “…”
Chi Wang said, “I still have the videos. Wait, let me show you.”
He took out his phone, fiddled with it for a while, and finally found a few videos. Proudly, he said to Xie Siheng, “Take a look.”
Xie Siheng took the phone from his hand and played the video. Chi Wang’s face appeared on the screen—a youthful face, wearing a white T-shirt. At first, he seemed a bit reserved, but soon his dance became natural.
The dance was full of energy and uprightness. Viewers could feel the vitality in it. Even when his clean, white fingers brushed across his chest, it looked like he was doing calisthenics [2], and his gaze was so righteous it was almost comical.
“…” Xie Siheng asked, “This is suggestive?”
Chi Wang, a bit embarrassed, said, “Yeah, pretty suggestive, right?”
Xie Siheng: “…”
Xie Siheng avoided the question, “Did your male streamer account gain popularity?”
At this, Chi Wang sighed, “I couldn’t make it in the internet world. After posting for a week and getting no views, I angrily deleted the account.”
Xie Siheng: “…”
Doesn’t look suggestive at all—more like a police officer going undercover in a bar.
