PUBG Online Romance of the Century Chapter 74 - Focus on harvesting happiness

Chapter 74 - Focus on harvesting happiness

Edited by Noks

Yu Yan returned to the gate after saying goodbye to Yi Chen again, and then went to Lu Xiuhe’s side.

Lu Xiuhe handed him all his stuff back.

“What were you two talking about over there that took so long, and why did President Yi even touch your face ah?”

There were no blind spots near the security checkpoint to prevent other people from watching. Their every move had been witnessed by the eyes of others.

It was precisely because of this scrutiny that he had not been able to do what he had really wanted to do when he had turned around in the end.

They could talk to each other anytime, and whether his livestreaming time needed to be adjusted or not could be discussed later, but he didn’t know how long it would be before he would be able to see Yi Chen again after he returned to Manyang.

“Didn’t say much, and I had something on my face.” Yu Yan stowed away his regret and picked up his luggage. “Let’s go ba.”

Once he got on the plane and found his seat, Yu Yan fastened his seat belt. While the other pa.s.sengers were still boarding, he took out his cellphone to send Yi Chen a message.

“Xiao Yan. The plane’s about to take-off, and you’re still playing on your cellphone.” Lu Xiuhe lowered his voice and smiled widely. “This is my first time in first-cla.s.s, I’m so nervous. Is there anything I need to pay attention to?”

His ticket had also been upgraded to first-cla.s.s by Yi Chen.

“No, it’s pretty much like economy cla.s.s.”

“Oh, I have to send another message to thank President Yi.” Lu Xiuhe said, “President Yi is too generous ba, I……”

In the middle of the conversation, Lu Xiuhe suddenly shut up and stopped talking.

Upon realizing that the area around him had gone quiet, Yu Yan turned around doubtfully, and found that Lu Xiuhe’s gaze had fallen on the seat next to them. His eyes were very wide.

Yu Yan looked at the pa.s.senger on the other side of the aisle. He was wearing a hat, a mask, and sungla.s.ses. He was wrapped up and down so tightly that not a single strand of hair could be seen.

“What’s the matter?” Yu Yan asked.

“I really have seen a ghost.” Lu Xiuhe got up. “Xiao Yan, can we change our seats?”

Yu Yan let out an “oh”, and then switched seats. Right after that, suddenly, the stranger beside him also rose up.

“h.e.l.lo.” He was wearing a mask, and his voice was m.u.f.fled. “Can I switch seats with you ma? I can add some money to it.”

Yu Yan still hadn’t understood what was going on until Lu Xiuhe exploded.

“Switch my a.s.s, we’re not switching. Are you some kind of f.u.c.king pain in the a.s.sma?!”

The man laughed and said, “What, this plane belongs to your family, and no one else is permitted to take it?”

“Permitted ah, then just sit down ah, why change your seat?” Lu Xiuhe said.

Lu Xiuhe’s voice wasn’t quiet, and the other pa.s.sengers pa.s.sing by couldn’t help but look at them.

“I’m sorry, I won’t switch seats.” The atmosphere between the two of them wasn’t right, so Yu Yan refused.

He still had more to add when his cell phone vibrated, and his focus immediately moved away from these two.

1: Forgot.

Yu Yan: Forgot what?

1: Forgot to kiss you.

How to describe Yu Yan’s feelings right now?

If he had carelessly gone up and successfully stolen a kiss just then, he was afraid that he still wouldn’t feel as satisfied and embarra.s.sed as he did now, and his heart wouldn’t be racing as fast as it did now either.

Yu Yan: …there were too many people around just now.

1: What does that matter?

Yu Yan felt that this topic couldn’t be continued any longer. If it did, then before the plane lifted off and left Jincheng completely, it was likely that he could rush off the plane at any time.

So he clumsily s.h.i.+fted the subject.

Yu Yan: I’m already on the plane.

1: I know, I see your flight.

Yu Yan: Are you still at the airport?!

1: En.

Yu Yan first replied with several exclamation marks.

Yu Yan: Go back quickly ba. I’m taking off soon, and I’ll contact you after landing.

By the time he sent this message, the stewardess had already noticed the quarrel taking place over by their spot.

“I’m very sorry, sir, but our plane is about to take off. Would you please go back to your original seat and fasten your seat belt?”

That strange man pulled off his mask and pursed his lips. Although his sungla.s.ses were still hanging on his face, Yu Yan sensed that this person was angry.

After a while, he turned around and sat back in his original seat.

With a bzzt— the stewardess began to broadcast the in-flight safety demonstration.

Yu Yan said goodbye in a hurry, then turned off his cellphone.

By then, Yi Chen had already become a fixture in front of the flight information board.

He stayed in this spot for a long time, his gaze constantly s.h.i.+fting between the flight information and his cellphone.

Yi Chen had never sent someone off on a flight like this. His parents seldom let him know when they were going out. He often didn’t know that they had gone for a visit until after they had landed and stayed in that place for a few days, and with regards to those important business partners—he would just see them off to the security checkpoint and then directly leave.

It was not until the status of the flight he had been watching turned to ‘Departed’ that he put away his cellphone and strode away from the airport.

—

Yu Yan slept during the entire flight, and they landed without him knowing. At last, Lu Xiuhe woke him up.

“Xiao Yan, I’m getting off the plane first, and I’ll hurry home… let me know when you get home ah.”

Yu Yan dazedly pulled off his sleep-mask. Because he was wrapped in a haze of sleepiness and also wasn’t used to the brightness in the cabin, his vision seemed to be covered in a layer of gauze, and he couldn’t see clearly. He only vaguely seemed to see someone standing next to Lu Xiuhe, with one hand hooked around Lu Xiuhe’s neck.

He closed his eyes and nodded wildly. “Okay.”

Yu Yan saw Yu Minyang waiting at the airport pick-up stand as soon as he got off the plane.

“How was it, was Jincheng fun?” As they were getting into the car, Yu Minyang asked with a laugh.

Turning his head, he found that Yu Yan was holding his cellphone and typing.

“Very fun.”

Yu Minyang looked away and said, “Then that’s good.”

His Aunt had made a whole table of delicious dishes. Yu Yan took out a gift box from his suitcase as soon as he entered the room. It contained some stuff he had bought at the duty-free shop, and many Jincheng specialties were included in it.

His Aunt looked flattered and surprised when accepting it, and was not able to hide the smile on her face. It wasn’t that she was joyous about having received this box, but it was just that even though Yu Yan wasn’t usually very close to them, he had still thought about them during this trip—and it was this sentiment that really made her happy.

Yu Yan had promised his viewers that he would start streaming at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. After eating lunch, he stood up and said goodbye.

“Xiao Yan, wait a minute, let your uncle take you back.” His Aunt brought out a black bag from the kitchen that she had prepared earlier. “I bought a lot of boxes of this sauce, so you take some back. When you eat noodles or rice, you can mix it in.”

Yu Yan waved his hand. “No need…”

“Take it ba. In order to send you off, he specifically didn’t drink today. You have so much luggage with you, and we definitely will not let you take the subway, it’s too much trouble. Besides, don’t you have to rush back to start work?”

Yu Minyang said nothing and put Yu Yan’s luggage in the trunk of his car.

Yu Yan had to sit in the car obediently.

It was only when they were nearly back at his house that Yu Minyang asked, “Xiao Yan ah.”

Yu Yan put away his cellphone. “En?”

“Are you dating now?”

Yu Yan was shocked, his face showed a completely astonished expression. “How did you know?”

He had just been dating for a day…

“Haha, you little kids ah, your thoughts are plastered all over your face lou. You’ve been giggling and playing with your cellphone since you got off the plane, it would be hard for me not to know ah.” Yu Minyang said with a big smile, “Where are they from, Manyang? Are they a former cla.s.smate?”

“No.” This question came as a surprise to Yu Yan.

He didn’t want to hide things from Yu Minyang, but it also wasn’t easy for him to talk about Yi Chen. After all, their age, region, and gender were all factors that seemed to be difficult for their families to accept.

After a while, he just whispered, “I’m sorry, Uncle, but it’s not convenient for me to talk about it right now.”

“That’s fine.” Yu Minyang said with a hearty laugh, “Anyway, you may not be able to still be together in the end. You’re still young, I’ll ask you later ba.”

Yu Yan: “…”

Just as he reached home, Yu Yan received a message that Yi Chen had to go hold a meeting.

After replying with a nodding emoticon, he hurriedly changed out of his heavy clothes. After all, the temperature in Manyang was nearly 30 degrees. Then he turned on the computer and started the livestream before it was even four o’clock.

As soon as the livestream started, many lines started to appear in the barrage.

Ever since the gala had ended, his livestream had seen a continuous rise in the number of fans. In just one day, it had increased by 60,000 fans.

This was enough to show that StarTV’s traffic was amazing.

[Ahhhhhhh this background behind Yanyan, did you come back home?]

[In the end, I still didn’t get to see what 1 looks like….]

[Yanyan! Who was the person raising your chin up at the gala?!! You quickly tell me!! I lost sleep over him well into the early hours of the morning last night ah!!]

Yu Yan internally muttered to himself—What a coincidence, I also lost sleep over him until midnight last night.

“What is this who raised my chin up? You guys are remembering it wrong ba.” Yu Yan lied rustily, “I don’t remember.”

[Then let me review it for you → [Link to station C: best shots of StarTV gala cut]]

[I just knew someone would send this today. I have to say, can’t these Meimei line up and wait? Can’t we follow first come, first serve? Right click to enter → [Link to station C: Small Anchor and Big Boss…chapter 7]]

As soon as these two lines appeared in the barrage, the people commenting after this immediately split into two groups and started to quarrel with each other back and forth. Only the technique fans, left s.h.i.+vering in the middle, were still confused.

[？？？ I didn’t go to the wrong place ba, isn’t this a PUBG livestream?]

Yu Yan also hadn’t expected that such a quarrel would break out. After several unsuccessful attempts at dissuasion by the stream moderator, he finally couldn’t hold back.

“In the future, no one will send any video links in the livestream. According to the platform rules, we can’t send out links.” Yu Yan said, “If you send it again, we can only suspend you. I hope everyone can speak harmoniously and watch the game happily.”

Having just finished saying that, the stream followers listened to him and stopped sending links.

Just…

[Will Never Give Up on 1YanTang: Foll.Ow Me. To. Watch. An. Ex.Citing. Vi.Deo. Lin.k. In. This. Per.Son’s.Profile.]

“?”

Yu Yan raised his hand and suspended this person.

[Video Link On Profile Page: ← 1YanTang girls click to get today’s happiness.]

[Raise Up Chin little Gege: ← Chin-cons click to get today’s happiness.]

“……”

Yu Yan gave up on the ban and started the game. “Playing two solo matches.”

As soon as he entered the game, he thought that something wasn’t quite right.

This morning, PUBG had suddenly pushed out a big new multi-GB update. This was nothing, it was not the first time Bluehole was putting out an update without any notice.

But his computer inexplicably froze on the update interface for a while before the progress bar finally started to move.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, the update was finally completed.

Yu Yan opened the game, and the constant freezing of the graphics told him that—unfortunately, in the days he had been gone, the computer’s ability to function had reduced by a lot again.

At the end of the match, Yu Yan really couldn’t bear it anymore. “I’m really sorry, it seems my computer can’t run PUBG anymore. Let’s play other games today ba, and I’ll buy a new computer tomorrow. I’m really very sorry.”

Just as he finished saying that, Yu Yan’s cellphone suddenly rang.

Good Show: Is your computer broken? Come play LoL ma, your computer can definitely run that. I have four people here, and it’ll just perfectly make five with you.

Good Show: Don’t worry, you know all of them. Those who came to see find us for the toast that day are all here.

Good Show was the number one most popular anchor in the LoL section—the kind with a popularity score sitting at around 7 figures.

If you could show your face in Good Show’s livestream, gaining fans would be a matter of course, but because he was a big anchor, Good Show had to be more careful when recruiting people for the 5-man team.

Yu Yan had really just met him only once, so how come Good Show suddenly came to invite him?

But compared to this, Yu Yan was more surprised about another thing.

Yu Yan: …How did you know my computer was broken?

The author has something to say:

Lu Xiuhe’s matters will be in the extras if nothing goes wrong.

Juurensha: You guys can probably guess who was on the plane right? And hahahaha, it’s a s.h.i.+p war, but really they’re all s.h.i.+pping the same thing! (Also…in LXH’s extras, this scene doesn’t appear to play out exactly the same way, which is a bit strange, but oh well.) Also thankfully, hurricane pa.s.sed us by and no loss of power! Although please help poor Lake Charles if you can!

Please check out and support the raws if you can!

And you guys can buy the published version here! s.h.i.+pping was both cheap and fast!
