Chapter 74 - Soft Fur translator: xiin editors: apricot & juurensha
In the bottom left corner of the selfie.
Crosson Show North Tower. The lights shone through the night.
The bedroom curtains of North Tower 201 were opened randomly, revealing scattered cartons and two people standing close to each other in the corner.
Wei Shi stood at the window with one hand on the windowsill, tall and strong as he faced the camera. The warm light outlined the man's deep eye sockets, tall nose, and the knife-like curves of his chin.
According to the Crosson Show audience's speculations, Contestant Wei was likely an individual trainee with a poor background. It was because he didn't have enough money to smooth out the relationship with the program group that he finally only showed up in the third elimination match--
And he wore sniper goggles from start to finish on the live broadcast.
The tea-brown lens blocked the eyes of the prying, curious audience, and even led to subsequent production of many works where eyes were freely added in. On the forums, under the #Scarf/Assorted tags, a major poster, who had created a short story of him holding up a child with one hand, even had Wei Shi wearing goggles the entire time.
Wearing it during the competition, while driving, and even outside the delivery room.
While the audience was howling and squealing as they gobbled down this food, someone amongst them pointed out this strange selfie phenomenon immediately. It turned out that there were trainees who could attract fans with only ten minutes of camera time and half an exposed face--
Contestant Wei's half a face had precisely this kind of fighting power!!
At this time, Contestant Wei who'd unexpectedly entered the camera lens finally showed his full face.
Anyone who'd seen the live broadcast would recognize him at the first moment. The man who'd taken off his goggles had a cold expression and powerful momentum. If one didn't pay attention to his eyes, his entire person would appear like an inhuman killing machine.
The man's eyes were locked on the boy in front of him.
Wu Jin's slender arms and legs were half blocked by Wei Shi. The high-definition cameras from 3018 were more than enough to capture the damp small curls, slightly flushed muscle curves, and bright eyes.
The youth's chin was raised up, and Wei Shi loomed over him slightly. His right hand seemed to be against the side of Wu Jin's neck. The reality of the photo couldn't be seen from the perspective of the selfie, but the distance between them was obviously ambiguous.
Star Net.
There was half a minute of silence in the comments section.
The subsequent scramble of responses seemed to have gotten stuck, and then burst out like a torpedo hitting the sea:
"Qiukui! Silly Red!! I'm begging you, please don't delete it, please don't delete it ahhhhhh!! "Casually looked through the Star Blog in the middle of the night, my f*cking god, this candy is so sweet i'm going to explode! Begging you to send another selfie, please ahhhhh!"
"Contestant Wei is too handsome, goddamn, that alpha aura makes my hair stand on end even across the screen. The Little Witch who has just finished taking a bath is all kinds of cute, and Contestant Wei actually really made a move and touched him&#k2013;&#k2013;aooooo!! Suddenly letting out a wolf howl!"
"My heart is beating too fast, okay? Wait a minute, what. are. you two doing?!"
"What are you two doing +1! Is this a hidden relationship? Is it a tryst? It is it is it is right ahhhhhhh!! This scarf girl almost got! knocked! dizzy! by! candy! moved to the point of tears--I'm begging you, can you guys go get married?! Wasn't it agreed that you guys only met for the first time in The Lovers instance?! How many hours has it been since then? You've already developed to this point. I particularly want to cue Little Witch, if it wasn't for Silly Red posting a selfie, your mama. wouldn't. even. know! It's not like you're not allowed to fall in love, Little Witch, but you need to report it to your parents, you know? Ahhhh!"
Soon, another research-orientated user passed by, "1. Little Witch's dormitory is in the South Tower, and it's a long trek to the North Tower. 2. Wei Shi's gaze is full of stories. 3. Hand, where's that hand located! The key point is my son! 4. Does anyone remember how Contestant Wei entered the instance? He sniped Captain Zoe and went inside himself [smile] [smile]. That's all I have to say."
After the third elimination match ended, a single selfie soon caused a collective carnival in the Crosson audience.
Scarf #1 held up a big banner and danced. They almost went crazy when they saw the image and took over the Scarf tag within a short ten minutes. They took the 'Assorted' suffix and established their territory.
Scarf #2 was in a precarious state and had to rely on Wei Yan and Thin Fire fans to maintain a foothold.
The passersby happily ate melon and watched the show, and it was sweet, tasty, and had a tendency of drawing them in and assimilating them into the CP fanbase--𝐟𝙧𝐞e𝔀e𝐛𝐧o𝚟𝑒l - 🅽🅽novel
If the way they'd played in The Lovers card instance made the fans clamor about predestined fate and flawless cooperation, the ambiguity of the current post allowed them to have a silent victory.
The traffic brought over by the photo reached its peak the moment Red suddenly deleted the post.
Red obviously 'hadn't expected' to affect others with his selfie, so he apologized and hired a water army to suppress public opinion.
"It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! Contestant Wu Jin probably went over there to help Contestant Wei Shi carry boxes! The cartons are scattered everywhere, and it can be inferred that the cartons fell over. Little Witch probably twisted his neck, and it's normal for players to be concerned about each other. Please don't spread rumors, everyone."
"[Forward] It's a misunderstanding! It's all..."
However, no matter how hard the water army worked to recover the situation, the screenshots had already been circulated like crazy.
At the same time, the Scarf CP votes also surged up--going up by 8 million votes in an hour and pressing down the bizarre data for 'White Moonlight double assault' and biting at 'Jingyi Double C's heels.
Crosson Forum version 2, Scarf topic thread.
In the administrator chat room.
The group of big managers were very excited and pulled out this 'clarification post' in their conversation.
"This water army doesn't understand the fan circle at all." One of the station elder sisters sighed, "Who doesn't know that he was helping him with his strained neck? But it's sweet! The CP fans don't care about cause and effect. They can write up a 'getting started-having to stop-venting anger on Little Witch' fanfic at any moment."
The backstage area was filled with a happy atmosphere.
The administrator with the ID 'Kill the guinea pig, I'm the real younger brother' suddenly asked, "Oh great ones, is it set?"
The station elder sister replied, "It's set. Guinea pig is new, right? Compared to the last Crosson Show voting, at this point, almost all the votes that can be cast have already been used. It's a little risky to bring pressure down on Jingyi Double C, but it's enough to have knocked down the evil cult of that other Scarf CP. Double assault doesn't need to be worried about since it has such an obviously cheap type of votes. We don't have to do a thing, since the Caesar x Thin Fire fans will have already reported it to the organizers."
Guinea pig sent out an 'ok' emoticon, and their tone was happy, "Great, it's time to sleep! Little sisters, you've worked hard. It's good for your skin to sleep early!"
The station sister smiled broadly as she said goodbye.
Late at night.
Zoe came out of the shooting range with Caesar. The big fool of Crosson who'd originally been full of fighting spirit was now dull and withered; he'd been taught a lesson by the captain under the excuse of 'building up friendship'.
Fortunately, Caesar's attitude was sincere once his brain had figured things out. He just needed to go back to the furnace to be reworked and was once again a good assault.
At this time, it was close to the time for curfew, and the twin towers were noisy and bustling.
Zoe pondered, "I didn't see Little Witch just now--"
Qin Jinbao, who was sprawled out on a mat listening to stories, raised his eyelids and said, "Oh, looking for Little Witch? I just saw him helping someone carry their boxes."
Zoe thanked him.
Qin Jinbao played the c-position in Dolma Entertainment and was famous for his 'Qin Dynasty Golden Soldier'. He was stronger and braver than anyone else when he picked up his gun, like someone who was holding a sledgehammer, harvesting his opponents with ease. But when he was outside of the competition, his habits were like that of a retired elder, getting up at 5AM and nodding off by 10PM. He walked with his hands behind his back, listened to books, and played chess. Ever since he'd purchased the mat over the Star Net, he'd become a designated NPC who was familiar with everyone's movements in the Twin Towers.
Zoe immediately went to educate Caesar, "Learn more from Little Witch. He's good at team unity and building friendships and is even helping other players carry boxes!"
Caesar yelled, "I'll move boxes, I'll move boxes. Which contestant needs our help?"
Zoe: "At this hour, they're probably already finished. Go back and tidy yourself up. There's still the group activity tomorrow."
Caesar was full of energy, "About that, I'm going to find my brother--"
Qin Jinbao's voice was unhurried, "Mao Qiukui? He's sleeping."
Zoe looked at Caesar, "Enough, if there's nothing else just go back. Go see if Little Witch is there."
Qin Jinbao, "He came back after he finished moving boxes. The little guy's incredibly thin-skinned, his ears were red, and he was rubbing his face while walking."
Caesar wondered, "Do you Dolma assault players work part time as gatekeepers?"
Qin Jinbao: "......"
The Dolma c-position slowly rose up from his mat. The other Dolma contestants who'd been washing up and brushing their teeth in their dormitory ran out, and Zoe apologized before dragging Caesar away.
South Tower 701.
Wu Jin was loosely wrapped up in the quilt, his dreams after finishing the elimination match as sweet as ever.
The rabbit curled up in his arms moved his ears, his soft, fluffy fur rubbing upwards and blocking half of the youth's face.
Wu Jin's breathing was no longer smooth as the scene in his dreams changed. The burning fire suddenly appeared, and Hermes suddenly started to whisper, and he was somehow inside the narrow coffin in the Judgement card instance.
Outside the safe zone, the winds were as cold as blades.
However, it was like spring inside the safe zone.
Wei Shi was a large size hot water bottle that constantly radiated warmth. Wu Jin shifted closer, and then closer again, then closer again.
The youth was like a restless little animal. He followed the direction of airflow and looked up. The gun behind his body was like claws that had been retracted, leaving only soft paw pads in this current moment.
Happiness filled up and overflowed, and the small curls perked up comfortably.
The man suddenly whispered in his ear, "Call me by name."
Wu Jin stilled and was just about to open his mouth when the man suddenly held the back of his head and bent over--
A feather-like touch swept across his lips.
Inside the Crosson Show dormitory bedroom, Wu Jin abruptly woke up and spat out a mouthful of rabbit fur.
"Brother Rabbit, you!" Wu Jin picked up the rabbit. Brother Rabbit must have the lineage of an Angora long-haired rabbit. Now that it was fall, his shedding had become very serious."Don't jump around, your fur all ended up in my mouth!"
The youth suddenly froze.
The dream flashed back through his mind, and his heartbeat intensified fiercely. Wu Jin showed an incredulous expression, then covered his head and wailed, "You! Youyouyou! You've gone crazy!! You're wronging big brother! Stop! Don't think! Brain, my brain has broken... ahhhhh!!!"
Juurensha: Awww, Little Witch, it's okay, WS has also shamelessly had many thoughts/dreams about you too....
xiin: much, much dirtier and explicit ones ^_^
