【Orange × Nanxi】 Can We Exchange Rings Now, My Dear Wife?
With the person he liked right beneath him doing such suggestive things, Nanxi was no emotionless bodhisattva. Naturally, it was impossible for him to have no reaction.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but rather that he wanted to obtain Orange’s consent, fearing he might scare him.
As long as Orange wasn’t willing, he would never force him.
Nanxi’s face was already scarlet, the veins on his arms almost bursting. He pursed his lips, not even daring to meet Orange’s eyes.
Looking at Nanxi like this, Orange couldn’t help but want to tease him more. He hooked his fingers and felt back toward the man’s waist. “You won’t be able to control what?”
“I…” Nanxi’s face was flush with pent-up frustration. He had no idea how to say it.
Yet the culprit only looked up at him with clear, innocent eyes. “Tell me. What can’t you control?”
Nanxi was flustered to the point of turning beet red. He didn’t know how to voice the thoughts in his heart directly to Orange.
Orange found his boyfriend’s reaction absolutely precious, so he intensified his provocations. He bent his knees and rubbed them against Nanxi. “If you don’t say it, how will I know?”
To Nanxi, this was no different from a direct seduction. His eyes turned red as he grabbed Orange’s ankles.
Orange: “?”
Before he could react, his legs were pulled apart by his ankles. Nanxi leaned over him and captured his lips in a kiss once more.

Only when a small gap appeared could Orange gasp for breath, his fist thumping against Nanxi’s shoulder.
This look of being thoroughly bullied only made Nanxi’s passion flare higher. He stared into Orange’s eyes, wanting nothing more than to devour him whole right then and there.
He lowered his gaze, his long fingers ruffling Orange’s hair. “Baby.”
In truth, Nanxi wasn’t the only one suffering; Orange wasn’t faring much better. Every fiber of his being was yearning for the other man.
After holding it in for a long time, he could only bite his lip and mutter incoherently, “Go lock the door.”
“And then, I…”
Orange did his best to psych himself up, but he still couldn’t bring himself to say “I’ll let you do it.” He could only turn his face away and go silent.
Nanxi’s kiss fell instantly. “Baby, I’m not an idiot.”
“I know what you mean.”
The door was locked, and the curtains were drawn tight. Only their intertwined breaths remained, the air heavy with the scent of ambiguity.
When they woke the next morning, Orange was still nestled in Nanxi’s arms, pillowed on his shoulder.
Looking up, he could see the man’s face, as exquisite as a sculpture.
Nanxi’s gaze was filled with tenderness. “You’re awake, Baby?”
His voice was a bit raspy, and that grainy quality made it sound even sexier. Orange’s ear tips turned red despite himself.
He could only give a messy hum in response before pushing Nanxi away to find his clothes.
The floor was littered with scattered shirts and pants. Orange’s legs felt a bit shaky as he got out of bed, and he nearly stumbled onto the floor.
It was all that damned Jian Yu’s fault!
Thinking back on last night’s events made Orange feel incredibly ashamed. To coax him, Nanxi had gone to any lengths possible—even calling him “Gege.”
Nanxi caught Orange’s slim waist from behind. “Baby, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”
“I’m fine.” Orange was still thin-skinned and didn’t quite dare to face Nanxi. He pushed him away and threw a shirt over Nanxi’s head. “Go back to your room!”
Nanxi: “???”
What should I do if my boyfriend turns cold toward me immediately after we sleep together?
Though the upcoming match schedule wasn’t tightly packed, their opponents were all formidable enemies. The two of them had almost no time to be alone, spending every day soaking in the training room.
Unfortunately, they still lost to STE due to a minor failure in a team fight, falling in the semifinals.
A Top 4 finish was considered quite decent for the rapidly changing world of esports. Though there were regrets, their spirit of never letting up and fighting until the last second was deeply admirable.
Fans who came to watch the match in person asked Orange for his autograph and photos.
One fan comforted him, “Cheng-bao, you were amazing today.”
“Keep it up, Cheng-bao! Keep moving forward!”
“An Chenxia, keep your head up! You’re the King of Supports!”
Orange smiled at them. “Thank you all.”
The rest of the team went out for a meal together. Because everyone knew about the relationship between the two, no one disturbed them. Nanxi held Orange’s hand as they walked along the street, their shadows stretching long under the streetlamps.
Orange let out a soft sigh. “I really thought we could make it to the finals. At the very least, a runner-up finish.”
The system he had spent several nights researching hadn’t produced the expected results on stage, which left him in a poor mood.
“Anything can happen on the stage.” Nanxi squeezed his fingers. “You did your best.”
“I know,” Orange pouted aggrievedly. “But I still feel it’s a pity.”
“It shouldn’t have ended like this.”
“Esports is inherently filled with regrets, but we will always keep working toward that goal,” Nanxi said, patting Orange’s head. “I’ll be with you. We will have many more championships.”
Many championships that belong to us.
Nanxi felt very fortunate to have met Orange in this life—to have such a kind and lovely boy barge into his world.
Making his heart skip a beat. Making him fall in love.
Nanxi’s original goal had been simple: play matches seriously and meet Wen Ran on the stage.
But after everything he had been through, he finally understood: not every crush needs to have a conclusion, and the first person to make your heart flutter isn’t necessarily the most suitable choice.
From the moment he realized his true feelings and confessed to Orange, his life seemed to broaden instantly. His world was no longer just games and matches; it also included the roses he frequently bought from the flower shop, the recipes in his favorites folder, Orange’s preferences in his memos, and the regularly emptied shopping carts…
And a future that belonged to them.
Nanxi asked Orange, “What do you want to eat for dinner?”
“Hmm…” Orange thought for a moment. “I want BBQ!”
Every time a piece of meat was grilled, Nanxi would proactively wrap it for Orange and place it on his plate. He barely ate a few pieces himself.
“Don’t just worry about me. You eat some too.” Orange pouted and shot him a mock glare before holding a piece of BBQ to Nanxi’s lips. “Open up.”
Nanxi bit the meat from his hand in that position, his heart feeling incredibly sweet.
“Oh, right, Baby. I have something to tell you.”
Orange looked up blankly. “Hmm?”
“Well, I bought a house,” Nanxi said. “It’s right here in B City, not far from the base.”
“If we have a break, we can stay there.”
Nanxi added tentatively, “Do you want to go take a look tonight?”
Orange: “???”
Buying a house just like that… what kind of tycoon are you?
Though Orange could guess that his waist might not survive a visit to the house tonight, he couldn’t resist his curiosity and followed Nanxi home.
When he stepped inside, he was stunned. The renovation and design clearly had a lot of thought put into them; the color palette was exactly what he liked, and there was even a dedicated art studio.
Orange felt touched; Nanxi really cared about him that much.
While he was dazing, Nanxi had looped around from behind at some point and pulled him into an embrace. He held a red booklet in his hand. “Baby, this is the property deed. Your name is on it.”
Orange had no idea what to say. After holding it in for a long time, he could only manage, “Are you an idiot?”
“Of course not,” Nanxi said earnestly as he held Orange. “I just wanted you to know that when I say I like you, it’s not just words.”
“Baby, this is my first relationship. I might not do everything perfectly, but I will work hard to learn. Just don’t think I’m too stupid.”
“I truly want to stay with you for a lifetime.”
Stay together for a lifetime…
Orange felt a distinct sting in his nose.
He tilted his head back slightly and kissed the man’s chin. “You said it yourself. No backing out, or you’re a puppy.”
Nanxi seemed to give a light laugh. He then produced an exquisite box; a beautiful pair of matching rings lay quietly on the velvet.
“Then, can we exchange rings now, my dear wife?”
