Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug
Chapter 77 Top Archer and Ace Mage 15
As the year draws to a close, the Shi family home becomes busier. Mr. Shi and his eldest brother bring most of their work back to the company to make it easier to entertain guests.
Originally, Ji Han was planning to stay in the guest room at this time, but Shi's mother specially ordered a lot of high-end suits for him and Shi Shaoyu to wear at this time. Shi's mother told all the guests that Ji Han was their newly recognized godson and that he and Shi Shaoyu were also close friends. This year, they were invited by their family to spend the New Year at the Shi family's house.
Seeing how much the Shi family parents and brothers valued and liked Ji Han, the guests followed suit and treated Ji Han with great courtesy. Some even gave him a red envelope on the spot, saying that they hadn't prepared enough and this was their greeting gift.
Ji Han (????)(????)(????)
He was surprised to receive such an unexpected bonus. In an instant, he felt his wallet bulge. Although he wasn't short of money, who would complain about having too much money?
Of course, Ji Han also prepared gifts for the Shi family. As usual, the gifts for Shi's father, mother, and eldest brother were treasures from his spatial storage. Mainly because, given his current social standing, it would be very difficult for him to find anything better than those in the short term.
As for Shi Shaoyu, Ji Han directly used his VIP status to customize a watch for him abroad. Apart from the complete lack of surprise, everything else was fine.
However, what Ji Han didn't know was that when Shi Shaoyu received the text message from the designer, he immediately called and ordered a matching couple's watch.
Therefore, on New Year's Day, when Ji Han was distributing gifts to everyone, he had just handed the gift to Shi Shaoyu when he received a box with the same packaging from the other side. Ji Han opened the box and found that the watch inside was exactly the same except for a slight difference in color!
Shi Shaoyu immediately put on the watch that Ji Han had given him, and then looked at Ji Han expectantly. Shi's parents and older brother were also slowly unwrapping their gifts while glancing at the two of them.
In the end, Ji Han took the watch out of the box. Seeing Ji Han's resigned attitude, Shi Shaoyu simply took his hand and put the watch on Ji Han's wrist.
Ji Han looked at the two wrists touching and the watches on their wrists, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. He felt that he still liked Shi Shaoyu. Because he liked him, he was not disgusted by Shi Shaoyu's affection. Because he liked him, he could accept Shi Shaoyu's various subtle little actions. Because he liked him, his emotions ultimately overcame his rationality.
At that moment, Shi Shaoyu was also looking at the two wrists that were touching. The more he looked at them, the more pleasing they became. As he looked, he didn't know why, but his hand began to tentatively reach towards Ji Han. He first took a little finger, and when Ji Han just glared at him and didn't immediately pull away, Shi Shaoyu began to push his luck.
One finger, two fingers, four fingers, until Shi Shaoyu completely grasped Ji Han's slender, warm, yet powerful hand.
Ugh... Dad, Mom, and Big Brother Shi can't bear to look, they really can't bear to look. This person laughing like an idiot is definitely not their son/brother. It's just lowering their family's IQ level.
However, as soon as he said that, Shi's father took Shi's mother's hand, and so on the first day of the new year, fireworks were dazzling outside, and the house was full of warmth, while only Shi's older brother was a lonely and heartbroken single dog.
Mother Shi also spoke very frankly to Brother Shi,
"Oh dear, I don't know either. Whose CEO is so old and still doesn't have a girlfriend? At least other people have some Cinderella story where the girl runs away pregnant or the white moonlight chases after the wife in a heartbreak. Ours is just... well, he's lived all these years and still doesn't have an ex."
"I don't know why my life is so hard. I've had decades of good life, and now that I'm old, I can't even hold a grandchild."
Brother Shi... as expected, there really is no place for him in this family. He should go out and get together with his brothers; at least he can get a drink there.
No sooner had Brother Shi left than Shi Shaoyu and Ji Han followed. They didn't go to the bar, not because they didn't want to, but because they were both minors...
Shi Shaoyu took Ji Han to the largest central square in the city center, where there was a New Year's Eve event tonight. The car was already too crowded to get in when it reached the outer edge of the square, so the two of them simply got out of the car and walked.
A large stage was set up in the very center of the square, where a song and dance performance was taking place. Ji Han and the others were far away and could only hear the loud music; they couldn't see anything else.
There were also many snacks around, which was simply paradise for the two of them. They bought snacks as they walked, and when they finally squeezed to the center, they were so full that their bellies were round. Like the other spectators, they jumped around to digest their food, and soon it was time to count down.
“10!9!8!7!6!5!4!3!2!1!”
"Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!"
"Ahan, I love you!"
"Ah Yu, me too... boohoo..."
Ji Han's last words were completely swallowed up by Shi Shaoyu. Fortunately, there were many couples celebrating together around them, so they weren't very conspicuous. Even so, Ji Han's face instantly turned bright red.
As the countdown ended, the crowd in the square began to slowly disperse. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu held hands and quietly hid in the crowd, enjoying a rare moment of inner peace amidst the hustle and bustle.
Finally, urged by Shi's mother, they got into the car and returned to the Shi family home. Even Shi's older brother, who had gone out drinking, was brought back. At the beginning of the new year, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu gave the driver a big red envelope before getting out of the car and going inside.
The commotion inside had long since subsided. After arriving home, the two informed Shi's mother and then went to wash up. Ji Han had just come out of the bathroom and lay down on the bed.
"Squeak!"
Without warning, his door was quietly opened, and Shi Shaoyu tiptoed in. Shi Shaoyu had thought Ji Han was already asleep, but when he looked up, he was met with a pair of bright, watery eyes and the dim yellow nightlight on the bedside table.
"Um... haha... Ah Han, you're still... not asleep?"
Ji Han rolled his eyes at him helplessly, then turned off the light and crawled into bed. Shi Shaoyu's eyes lit up instantly. Without even leaning against the wall, he darted to Ji Han's bedside, carefully lifted the covers, and quickly slipped inside.
Immediately, Ji Han felt a warm body press against him.
"Shi Shaoyu, if you want to sleep, then sleep. If you don't want to sleep, then get out. Don't even think about it until you're an adult!"
Although they have both reached adulthood several times over due to their experiences in the previous two worlds and the real world, they are not yet adults in this virtual world, so they will temporarily follow the rules of this world.
Shi Shaoyu immediately wilted, but thinking that he had at least gained the right to share a bed, he figured he couldn't be denied anything, so he decisively pressed himself against Ji Han, hugged him tightly from behind, and rubbed against Ji Han's neck before finally falling asleep contentedly.
Ji Han... Shi Shaoyu had fallen asleep after all that commotion, but he himself couldn't sleep. In the end, Ji Han had no choice but to ponder how he and Shi Shaoyu could obtain more energy. As he thought about it, he slowly drifted off to sleep as well.
The next morning, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu were woken up by a knock on the door. Standing outside was Shi's older brother.
"Shi Shaoyu! Xiaohan! Get up! We need to go out to visit relatives and friends after breakfast!"
The two of them were pushing and shoving each other in bed, neither willing to be the first to get up. Finally, Ji Han kicked Shi Shaoyu off the bed with a powerful kick, ending the farce. Shi Shaoyu could only dust himself off, get up, open the door, and go to the other side to wash up.
Before the two of them had even finished washing up and eating breakfast, the older brother realized that they had slept in the same bed the night before.
Looking at the two people in front of him who were neither embarrassed nor guilty, Brother Shi had no choice but to call Shi Shaoyu aside and give him some instructions. Anyway, when Shi Shaoyu finally came back, his expression was not very pleasant!
The Shi family are locals from City B. Over the generations, they have accumulated quite a few relatives. Fortunately, due to their seniority, they don't need to personally visit many families for the New Year. Instead, they are responsible for hosting the relatives who come to pay their respects.
Brother Shi took Shi Shaoyu and Ji Han to pay New Year's visits. When they arrived, Brother Shi was in charge of the small talk, and the two of them were responsible for echoing with "Hmm!" "Yes!" "That's right!" These were the three sentences they said most often that day.
From the first to the third day of the Lunar New Year, Brother Shi visited all the families he needed to pay New Year's respects to. Fortunately, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu only needed to attend the one on the first day. Most of the others were family friends and business partners of the Shi family, so Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu didn't have to go to those.
After the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, everyone gradually returned to work, and the Shi family was no exception. This time, not only Shi's father and eldest son, but also Shi's mother had to work overtime at the company until very late every day because of the heavy workload at the beginning of the year.
Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu also packed their things. Actually, they didn't have much to bring to the club. After all, they were either playing games or training all day long, eating in the cafeteria and wearing team uniforms. They really didn't have much time to relax.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the club officially started work, and the spring season was just around the corner. Ji Han and his team entered another period of intensive training.
Zhang Yang has almost recovered, but he did not return to the competition. Instead, he became a coach within the team. As a result, the Red Sea team bought a new support player, Chen Dongdong, during the transfer period before the Lunar New Year.
Although Chen Dongdong is also a newcomer, he is ranked at the top level among the newcomers in China this year, and he comes from the youth training camp of Blue Star Club.
Wang Zhao, the best-performing rookie on the Red Sea team, is now completely ruined. He's already living in a makeshift hut. In this industry where youth is a major factor, Ji Han knows his career is over even before he comes out.
The addition of new players definitely requires a period of adjustment and training. Fortunately, both the commander Ji Han and the marksman Shi Shaoyu, who spent the most time with the support, are quite tolerant and patient, so the team's adjustment period went relatively smoothly.
The new support player was supposed to move into a room with Zhang Yang, but because Zhang Yang became a coach, his work and rest schedules were not the same as the players'. So Shi Shaoyu moved all of Ji Han's things into his room, and Chen Dongdong ended up having a large, sunny dormitory all to himself.
The Spring Split started soon. The early matches were relatively easy for the Red Sea team. In order to further enhance his and Shi Shaoyu's reputation, Ji Han arranged for an assistant introduced by Shi's mother to quickly complete the relevant procedures for the welfare institution.
It's worth mentioning that there was something else that, while not something to be proud of, genuinely boosted the two of them's fame.
After winning the treble, a new high-end car model was launched, and the club wanted to seek advertising cooperation with Red Sea Club. The club kept dragging its feet, but now the advertisement can finally be filmed.
"Hurry! Hurry! Faster car, faster, faster car!"
The catchy advertising slogan, coupled with the visually stunning "feast," made the advertisement an instant hit on the trending topics list as soon as it was released. Ji Han and his team, who filmed the advertisement, were edited into countless memes and jokes. Even people who don't play games or watch the games know that they were the ones who filmed the advertisement.
Ji Han and the others...
I feel like I've lost all my face in the last few days!
However, each of them did gain a significant number of followers, and not only that, they also each received a substantial share of advertising revenue. These days, making money is indeed difficult, and getting by is tough!
Although the Red Sea team changed their support player, the new support player's ability is no less than that of Zhang Yang before, and may even be slightly stronger. After all, Zhang Yang has passed the best age for e-sports players. In fact, his main value in the business world was his command and rich combat experience.
Therefore, the Red Sea team made it to the finals quite smoothly, and their opponent was still the Blue Star team.
To show respect to their former teammate and now rival Mo Han, Ji Han and his team banned heroes in the first game, giving all three ban slots to the mid-lane mage, while the opposing team gave them all to Chen Dongdong, the rookie support on Honghai's side.
Three bans are certainly no challenge for a former champion mage, but fortunately Chen Dongdong performed quite well this time. Although he didn't have any outstanding performances, at least he was able to stay calm and not lose his composure, which was already a relatively good result that Ji Han had estimated.
With the two sides evenly matched, the first round was a close contest. Most of the previous battles would end in ten minutes or so, but this one lasted for half an hour and there was still no sign of a winner.
