【88】 Love at First Sight, Fallen at Second Sight (Two in One) part 1
The party involved hadn’t dared to comment below yet, but Wen Ran’s fans had already published many comments. Wen Ran picked a few to reply to.
[Aren’t you best at Ren Ling? Why did you give it to Bing Tu?]
[Because I will have the next FMVP.]
After the FMVP skin is determined, the league reports it to the game officials, finds planners, and formulates plans for Wen Ran to choose from.
Currently, it was still the off-season. Every day was basically playing games and streaming.
Wen Ran’s fans’ purchasing power had always been decent; usually, during his streams, they would send him quite a few gifts.
Wen Ran naturally recognized those fans who frequently ranked at the top.
But tonight, about half an hour after he started streaming, someone came and sent a gift.
The ID was Dawn is a Little Cat.
“Thanks to Dawn is a Little Cat for sending the Star Sea.” Wen Ran frowned. “What kind of disgusting ID is this?”
Fans were long used to these, so they all called him Little Cat in the bullet comments.
As a result, that Dawn is a Little Cat spoke just now: Senior Brother is the cutest Little Cat.
Wen Ran: “?”
Except for that cow-horse Mu Wan, no one had ever called him Senior Brother!
Wen Ran didn’t know how to answer yet, when he saw the other party send another message.
Dawn is a Little Cat: Senior Brother, I’m going to practice dancing now. Will come to see you again next time when there’s a chance.
Mu Wan went offline as soon as he finished posting.
Leaving the live stream room, Wen Ran, and the Little Roses in chaos in the wind.
Wen Ran didn’t feel he and Mu Wan were that close at all. They hadn’t even added each other on WeChat, and they had quarreled while recording the show. So what did Mu Wan mean by coming over to send him gifts now?
And saying such ambiguous things like “Little Cat.”
Wen Ran didn’t have the mind to stream anymore. He said goodbye to the fans and hurriedly went offline.
He had a feeling this matter wouldn’t be too simple. Sure enough, rumors that Mu Wan and Wen Ran were dating soon fermented online.
It wasn’t known if someone was intentionally guiding it, but the topic starter began with their frequent interactions in the show, combined with the event of Mu Wan specially going to watch Wen Ran’s stream to send gifts and calling him “Little Cat,” analyzing that the relationship between the two must be extraordinary.
Moreover, in the long analysis, Wen Ran was intentionally shaped into the image of a “seducer.”
“Cat has struggled in society for a long time, accustomed to the cold and warmth of human hearts. He is mercenary, smooth, and skilled at calculation. But he met Dog, so warm, playing straight ball with a one-track mind, forcibly breaking into Cat’s heart.”
“Dog’s life is very dull, day after day of practice and repetition. For a stage, he can stay in the training room until dawn. In his eyes, Cat is exquisite and beautiful. He wants to experience Cat’s life. Cat is a grumpy little wild cat; even facing teammates he is with day and night, he can scold them into autism without changing his expression. Yet he gave all his gentleness to Dog. He feels this stupid dog is different from others.”
“Dog unsparingly reveals his curiosity to Cat. Cat is battle-hardened; the Dog he has set his eyes on, he definitely won’t bear to give to others. So under the baiting trap he painstakingly managed, Dog willingly drilled his way in.”
This so-called “analysis” post hung at the top of the trending list, attracting many people to ship the CP, solidly attracting quite a few CP fans for Mu Wan.
[Wuwuwu Dog is such a peerless big cutie, who wouldn’t like such a person!]
[He’s really a simple boy. His relationship with teammates within the team isn’t that close. You can tell he really likes Dawn.]
[Yeah, otherwise he wouldn’t go send him gifts.]
[Really doesn’t hide his emotions at all. If he likes, he goes and treats the person well.]
[Why am I only seeing a divine boy like Mu Wan now?]
[He was great in the variety show too. Feeling he dragged the team down, he would take the initiative to mention it. Much stronger than some people who pretend to understand when they don’t.]
[Right, and he would even say ‘Fight for Senior Brother’. His eyes are really full of Dawn.]
[Oh my god, what kind of divine CP is this? So easy to ship!]
[Dawn is also so handsome. This level of beauty, you’re telling me he’s from the esports circle?]
[Handsome guy clearly could eat based on looks, but insists on relying on skill.]
[So compatible!]
[But I feel Dog is so simple, he won’t be tricked, right?]
[Upstairs, to be honest, I also… Dawn went out into society so early, really hard to imagine he’s only 19.]
[And with this face, he doesn’t look like someone who hasn’t dated once.]
[Sisters, don’t just focus on this. Mu Wan was busy practicing dance that day, but still found time to go smash gifts. The result? Wen Ran said his ID was a disgusting name. Cold as hell.]
[I also feel so hurt. Isn’t this a vampire CP (one leeching off the other)?]
[Poor Dog’s first love, consumed by others just like that.]
[I only hope now that Dawn won’t let down such a good boy like Mu Wan.]
…
The Little Roses and Mu Wan’s solo fans hadn’t even had time to rush under this trending search. Because the attracted CP fans were simply too powerful, coupled with the fueling from bought water armies, the tide turned almost one-sidedly towards Mu Wan. The direction of public opinion was almost washed into: Wen Ran deliberately seduced fan Mu Wan, then feeling bored, treated him coldly.
Mu Wan, the infatuated man, foolishly found time to watch the other’s stream, only begging for a response.
Mu Wan looked at his rising fan count on Weibo, his heart about to bloom with joy.
“This move is really high,” he said to his assistant. “The person with the highest topic degree these past few days is me, right?”
“Yes,” the assistant said. “The CP between Fang Mo and that girl didn’t take off at all. The writer I found this time is pretty good, right?”
“Mm.” Mu Wan twirled his phone. “Wait for it to ferment a little longer, then you send that video out and delete it seconds later.”
“Water armies will forward it. Guide it twice, and we can purify (filter fans).”
CP fans were not Mu Wan’s true goal. Selling a CP with one person for a long time wasn’t realistic for him. Moreover, Wen Ran wasn’t in the entertainment industry and didn’t really like doing this stuff. Furthermore, CP fans liked two people; one love divided into two halves meant one portion of money divided into two halves—no benefit to himself.
But it was different for those who had gone through purification. Only after experiencing angst would a CP make fans feel a sense of participation, making it more etched in their bones. At the same time, fans would feel more distressed for the side being abused.
Thus turning from CP fans into die-hard fans of one party.
These people, although shipping the CP, didn’t dance in front of Wen Ran. And he hadn’t surfed the internet at all these past few days.
Xiao Huang invited him to S City to play at his home.
Xiao Huang was an only child; his mom and dad were very good to him and pampered this son.
Wen Ran originally didn’t want to go; he didn’t want to disturb others. But Xiao Huang insisted, calling him more than three times a day.
There was even one time, Jiang Yan already had him pinned on the bed, clothes half undone, when Xiao Huang called, chirping away: “Brother Ran Brother Ran Brother Ran, just come find me to play!”
Wen Ran’s fist clenched tight. “You called me this late just for this?”
“If you don’t agree, I’ll keep calling. Block me if you have the guts.” Xiao Huang was fearless. “I’ll just borrow the captain’s phone, Brother Fourteen’s phone, and keep calling you.”
“Brother Ran, I prepared lots of fun stuff, come quickly!”
It seemed he couldn’t avoid going. Wen Ran could only agree to him.
As a result, after hanging up, Jiang Yan knelt halfway on the bed, just leaning in intending to kiss his lips, when Wen Ran pushed him away. “Not doing it.”
“Mind is full of Xiao Huang’s voice. Wilted.”
Jiang Yan: “???”
You wilted, Brother hasn’t yet!
Jiang Yan aggrievedly held Wen Ran’s wrist, signaling him to look at his certain swollen part. “Ran Ran, have some heart for Brother.”
Wen Ran glanced at him. “Don’t you have hands?”
“I need to book tickets now.” Wen Ran said, “To S City.”
Jiang Yan gritted his teeth. Fine, you Little Huang, good job.
Originally didn’t do it with Ran Ran for the past two days, abstinent for how many days? It was rare for him to agree to come out and get a room once, and it was all ruined by him!
Looks like he needs to beat some sense into Qiao Yu to control his family’s ADC!
“My mom knows you,” Xiao Huang took the initiative to help Wen Ran carry his bag, pushing Wen Ran’s back. “I mention you to her often.”
“They all said they hope you can come home with me to play for two days.”
Wen Ran frowned and looked at him. “You acting like this always makes me feel like you’re holding back something bad.”
“You actually suspect me!” Xiao Huang punched his shoulder. “Brother Ran, you’re like that what’s-his-name biting Lu Dongbin, not recognizing a good heart. I’ve only ever brought the captain home before!”
Wen Ran unceremoniously grabbed Xiao Huang’s ear. “Father hasn’t fixed you for a few days, and you’re taking the roof tiles off the house?”
“Brother, brother, brother, wrong! Wrong!” Xiao Huang hurriedly begged for mercy. “Pain, pain, pain!”
“Brother, ah, later when you enter my house, you have to change your catchphrases a bit,” Xiao Huang said. “My parents are honest people. Don’t shock their worldview.”
Wen Ran: “…”
Xiao Huang took Wen Ran home. Xiao Huang’s parents were both home. The two looked about the same age as Li Fenlan, looking at him with very gentle smiles.
“This is Ran Ran, right? Come in, quick.” Xiao Huang’s mother was dressed very plainly as a middle-aged woman, not flashy, but clean and appropriate. Her smile was very comforting. “Xiao Huang mentions you to me often.”
“Treats him like an older brother.”
Wen Ran also smiled and said, “Hello, Auntie.”
Xiao Huang’s mother liked Wen Ran just looking at him. Holding his hand, she sat him at the dining table. “It’s Ran Ran’s first time visiting. These dishes are all Auntie’s specialties. Hope you like them.”
Wen Ran was somewhat flattered. “Thank you, Auntie.”
“Ran Ran is nineteen this year, right? One or two years older than Xiao Huang; he’s almost eighteen too.” Xiao Huang’s mother was quite chatty at the table. “Like him, a professional player. Xiao Huang told me you won the championship.”
“You young people, ah, just like adventure, like novel things.”
Xiao Huang lifted his chin very proudly. “Although my mom doesn’t understand esports, she supports it very much.”
Wen Ran hooked his lips. Yes, only such a gentle and supportive mother could raise a child like Xiao Huang, right?
