Ye Xiu laughed as he scroll through the news on his husband's phone. Han Wenqing was in the kitchen making dinner for the two as he listened to the loud cheery laugh, like music to his ears. Han Wenqing smiled as he set the food on the table.
He felt so content right now, just his beloved husband and him in their apartment (technically his apartment but Ye Xiu has since made the place his too) in Qingdao. It's quite rare for them to meet like this with the profession they have. But today was one of those rare occasions, it was the summer of season 7.
"Xiu, come eat. I've made your favorite." Han Wenqing whispered from behind Ye Xiu who was on the couch.
Ye Xiu's face lit up with a cheerful grin and tug Han Wenqing so that their lips touch. "Lao Han, this is just too funny haha." Ye Xiu gestured to the content on the phone.
It was a compilation video of pro-players who confessed to being gay. The person with the longest screen time was no doubt Huang Shaotian who occupied a third of the video alone.
The trend of male pro players confessing to like men started during one of Excellent Era's after match conference a few weeks ago. Excellent Era had just lost against Blue Rain. When asked one reporter asked, "How the team felt about the lost?" Vice captain of Excellent Era has replied with, "In competition there will be wins and losses and as a professional player, we know well about this. But it still feel disappointing as we've held so much hope for the strategy that our captain work so hard to come up with."
Then the reporter asked, "How does God Ye feel about the strategy failing?"
"Ah, I'm sure he's disappointed as well, but he probably won't feel that bad as he just left to a date with his boyfriend." The people of the conference felt dead silent. Even the members on stage were looking at Liu Hao. Su Mucheng who was watching from backstage paused from texting her brother-in-law when hearing this. That bastard, she fumed. Most of Excellent Era had already known that their captain was dating someone, all the gifts, calls and other things gave it away but they only knew it was a 'lover', they didn't know that it was a man that their captain was dating.
Liu Hao founded out about Ye Xiu dating a guy during the year's Valentine's Day. Han Wenqing had personally came to visit Ye Xiu and brought him a gift as well. Apparently, he saw Ye Xiu holding hands with Han Wenqing as the two went on their date. But what Liu Hao failed to see was who exactly his captain's partner was, because if he had known it was Tyranny's Captain that Ye Xiu was dating then, he'd probably peed himself before he even think of exposing their relationship.
Back in the conference, Liu Hao who seemed to had just notice the deadly silent, flinch back in his seat and feign worry. "Ah... I wasn't supposed to say that..."
This seems to woke the reporters up as they shouted questions after questions like piranhas after meat. The post-match conference ended soon after that.
The reporters after that asked Blue Rain about their thoughts on Ye Xiu being homosexual. Huang Shaotian, as talkative as he is, is a really good friend. He is probably the few who had notice the relationship between Ye Xiu and Han Wenqing. So both he and his captain helped cover up.
"Oh that? I actually like men too so it's no big deal. We can love whoever we love, can't we? But you know what's not a big deal??? He won't pkpkpkpkpkpk me as much as before anymore. YE QIU! IF YOU'RE WATCHING, LET'S PKPKPKPKPKPKPKPK AFTER THIS!!"
The reporters sweat as they listen to the Sword Saint usual chatter. So they decided to turn towards Blue Rain's captain.
"How about you Captain Yu?"
"I like both men and women. It doesn't matter."
The reporters were shocked to see that three pros were outted as gay in an hour. They were going to have so much to write about!!
