TRMLCM Chapter 112
by VolareChapter 112: One in a Million
After dinner, before they left, Cheng Fu slipped a thin red envelope into Shen Chang’an’s hand, waved, and let them go without saying a word.
On the way back, Cheng Yi was still driving. Shen Chang’an sat in the passenger seat, humming a song while holding the sandalwood box in his arms, feeling very cheerful.
The phone dinged and buzzed. Without looking, Cheng Yi knew who had sent the message. He hadn’t intended to reply, but he picked up his phone anyway, opened the camera, and aimed the lens to the right.
Shen Chang’an stared ahead, the dim yellow streetlights outlining his soft eyebrows and eyes, deep eyes, high nose, and sharp jawline. A dark-colored scarf covered his chin, but the half of his face that was exposed was enough to be stunningly beautiful.
Suddenly, the person in the lens turned his head and looked over.
Shen Chang’an smiled, “Let’s go.”
It turned out the light had turned green.
Cars behind them kept honking, so Cheng Yi put down his phone.
…
Because of the traffic jam, it was already 8:10 PM when they got back to Cheng Yi’s apartment. The livestream was already late, so Shen Chang’an quickly started the broadcast and apologized to his fans.
Cheng Yi had arranged for someone to install the equipment in advance, and even prepared Berber’s room, filling it with cat toys.
“Sorry, princesses, I was delayed by traffic on the way back today, so I’m ten minutes late. You’re all so kind, you’ll definitely forgive me, right?”
Shen Chang’an always planned things in advance and rarely disrupted his schedule. This was the first time he’d been late, and he was so apologetic, so of course the fans chose to forgive him.
Of course, that was before they knew how unreliable their beloved streamer would become in the future.

[It’s okay, baby, I just got here too]
[An’an looks so handsome today]
[An’an, you dropped a bomb and took a leave of absence for a few days. I still haven’t forgiven you for abandoning us for two or three days]
[Where’s Cy boss? Where’s your partner?]
[What did An’an do today?]
[Wait, Teacher, aren’t you at your own house?]
[WTF, you’re blind, upstairs]
*
The livestream room that Cheng Yi had paid someone to decorate was definitely very different from Shen Chang’an’s own makeshift one. It was all custom equipment, with extremely high quality, and even the picture quality of the entire livestream room was several degrees clearer.
“Well, I came to City S.”
He figured the fans already knew about him and Cheng Yi living together, so he didn’t hide it. “This is Cy’s house.”
[A lamb in the tiger’s den! A lamb in the tiger’s den!]
[Your subject is heartbroken!]
[Teacher, is your back okay?]
[What are you doing at Cy boss’s house? Are you going to spend the New Year at his house?]
[Wouldn’t that mean meeting the parents????]
“Yeah, that’s right, we met the parents today.”
Just then, Cheng Yi finished feeding Berber and walked in. Shen Chang’an looked up at him and said with some uncertainty, “His family should be… pretty satisfied with me, right?”
[Right? So are they satisfied or not?]
[An’an, wait, I’ll recommend you some books. You don’t know how to handle mother-in-law relationships. Don’t let people bully you without you even knowing]
*
The fans in the livestream room were afraid he’d become love-struck, and were trying to give him a warning shot when they suddenly heard another low, magnetic male voice.
“The granddaughter-in-law’s bracelet is already on your wrist, and you’re saying ‘pretty satisfied’?”
“I misspoke, it’s…”
Hearing this, Shen Chang’an’s eyes curved into a smile, and he raised his hand and shook the ink-colored bracelet at the camera.
“Especially satisfied.”
*
[Ahhhhh, Cy boss’s voice is so nice]
[Granddaughter-in-law? Bracelet? The few male fans are heartbroken and crying]
[I’ve finally become a part of your little couple’s play]
[Wife, you’re a married woman, don’t tempt me to commit a crime]
[You’ve only been dating for a little while, isn’t it too fast to meet the parents so soon?]
[An’an, are Cy boss’s family easy to get along with?]
*
“His family is very easy to get along with. They gave me a lot of gifts when we first met, but you don’t know how nervous I was before I went in. I—”
Shen Chang’an was about to complain about his state of mind at the time when the livestream room suddenly showed a system gift notification.
Cloudy Rain Underneath sent a Carnival x99 in the livestream room
“Thank you, Sister Yun, for the 99 Carnivals. Is this wishing us a long and happy life? Thank you for the blessing, Sister Yun.”
Cloudy Rain Underneath posted on the screen: Why aren’t you calling me Sister Qin anymore?
“Swish—”
Shen Chang’an’s eyes widened in shock, his face flushed red, and he almost lost his composure and stood up from his chair. He took a deep breath, his lips moved a few times, and he stammered, “Th-thank you, Sister Qin…”
*
[?????????]
[Little friend, do you have a lot of question marks?]
[Why is An’an’s face so red?]
[Sister Qin?]
[An’an, Cy is still next to you]
[Heh, can’t you see? This level 13 light badge clearly shows that the streamer is playing two boats, wanting both a sugar daddy and a sugar mommy. The ship has capsized!]
[Haters, get out!]
*
Seeing Shen Chang’an’s pleading eyes looking over, Cheng Yi clenched his phone, suppressing a smile, and sighed deeply, pretending to be serious. “Mom, he’s shy, don’t tease him.”
A simple title instantly explained everything.
Cloudy Rain Underneath posted on the screen: Your uncle was afraid you’d misunderstand and insisted I remind you that the money in that card means ‘one in a million’
Qin Yun unceremoniously exposed him.
Cloudy Rain Underneath posted on the screen: He was too embarrassed to say it himself
Two seconds later
Cloudy Rain Underneath posted on the screen: No, I was just kidding, can I undo that?
Shen Chang’an: “…”
*
[Uncle, do you think we believe that hahaha]
[I didn’t see anything (ps: can’t undo)]
[Uncle also has a bit of a sense of humor]
[Sister Yun is also an old fan, right? She’s Cy boss’s mom, so… Cy’s family knew a long time ago??]
[Wow, interesting]
[Haters, speak up]
*
The livestream room was filled with laughter. Cheng Yi only felt lucky that he hadn’t shown his face in front of the camera, otherwise he would be the one who was embarrassed to death.
Shen Chang’an, however, was as calm as usual. He thanked her seriously, “Okay, thank you, Uncle.”
…
After finishing the day’s livestream, Shen Chang’an took a shower and sat on the bed, waiting for Cheng Yi.
Yin Fu private messages were already 99+, with fans’ concerns and haters’ curses. He casually glanced at a few, then went to lurk in the fan group.
[Manman: Sisters, look what I found]
[Manman: Shared a video]
[Cy Loves An’an Only: Holy crap, is this a video posted by Cy boss?]
[1721: An’an is so cute, Grandma]
…
The video cover showed the protagonist’s appearance at a glance.
Shen Chang’an chuckled and opened the video.
“I called several times, did you miss me?
I held the receiver close to my ear, did you say anything?
The weather is nice, embraced by the sun
Such a gentle afternoon, I wish you were here with me…”
The video didn’t add background music, making it seem incredibly quiet. All you could hear was the pleasant sound of the person inside singing softly.
Dim light, blurry picture quality, warm atmosphere, sweet song.
A few seconds later, the singing disappeared. Shen Chang’an tilted his head and most of his face was exposed. He inadvertently met the camera, his clear eyes filled with a bright smile.
Finally, the screen went black and the video ended.
Shen Chang’an now knew what the other person was doing with his phone when he was waiting for the red light.
At the very bottom was Cheng Yi’s feeling about posting the video, just three words:
——Little fox
…
Hearing the sound of the door opening behind him, Shen Chang’an didn’t turn around, just waiting for a warm body to press against his back.
A strong arm wrapped around his waist. Shen Chang’an found a comfortable position and leaned back into his arms.
“What are you looking at?”
Cheng Yi lowered his head and nuzzled his neck affectionately, asking in a low, husky voice.
The warm breath sprayed onto his smooth skin, instantly causing a shiver. Shen Chang’an tried to dodge, but he was pressed even closer to the person.
He rolled his eyes, “I’m watching a video posted by a fan.”
Cheng Yi bit his earlobe as punishment, somewhat dissatisfied. “You’ve already spent so much time with them, it’s time to spend time with me.”
The force on his ear wasn’t strong, as light as a caress.
“Aren’t I spending time with him now?”
Shen Chang’an turned around and looked at Cheng Yi with a smile in his eyes. Suddenly, under the other person’s dark, deep gaze, he raised his head and kissed him.
Their soft lips touched. Cheng Yi’s breath caught. He only felt that the other person was as bewitching as a seductress fairy at this moment, incredibly captivating. Where was the shy person from before?
…
“…So good.”
“…Bastard.”
The bathrobe that had been draped over them had fallen to the floor at some point. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably. Low, magnetic coaxing, incoherent curses, whimpering cries and hurried breathing, entangled until death. It was unknown how long it took before the passion subsided and the room regained its proper silence.
