When the live stream started early the next morning, the viewers discovered that the host had changed.
Little Jason, who had spent the past few days relying on his skills to sell out his master, was now lying peacefully on the workbench. Beside him sat Professor Xie, looking relaxed as he flipped through documents with a cup of coffee in hand.
The bullet comments began to scroll frantically.
【Is the CEO brother streaming today?!】
【Ahhh! He’s so handsome today too!!!】
【I want to be the coffee cup in his hand~~】
【I want to be the documents he’s flipping through~~】
"We’ve started?" Xie Chengnan turned his head and saw the rapid scroll of comments on the screen. He squinted slightly, looking a bit unaccustomed to it. "Good morning... everyone."
The time in the bottom right corner showed exactly 9:00 AM.
Xie Chengnan set down his coffee cup and sat up straight, adopting the poised manner he used when lecturing as a professor. He gave a slight nod and began, "Due to special circumstances, I will be streaming in Jason's place today. The content might be a bit dull, so if you find it boring..." Professor Xie paused, seemingly thinking hard for a moment, before letting out a helpless, light chuckle. "Well, I suppose you’ll just have to be bored."
【Ahhh! That smile! I’m dead!】
【How could it be boring! Just for this face, I could watch for a lifetime!】
【Mom is asking why I’m licking the screen while giggling~~】
Little Jason, finding himself ignored, chimed in: 【Have you all forgotten the Jason by the shores of Lake Daming... QAQ】
【Ah... silently looking at Little Jason...】
【This posture... why do I have an ominous feeling...】
Xie Chengnan closed the documents and set them aside. "Today's stream content," he said nonchalantly, "is the long-awaited disassembly tutorial."
【???? Who exactly was waiting for this?】
【The 'Telling Lies with a Straight Face' series...】
【So Little Jason is really going to be taken apart?!】
【A petition signed by ten thousand in blood: please spare Jason’s dog life...】
Lying on the workbench, Jason wailed: 【Waaaah, Jason knows he was wrong...】
Professor Xie put on his safety goggles, carefully adjusted the camera angle, and asked calmly, "What did you do wrong?"
Stumped by the sudden question, Little Jason went silent: 【...】
The chat was a sea of joy.
【The poor little thing who has no idea what he did wrong, hahaha!】
【This question is out of the syllabus! You’re making things too hard for an AI!】
【The 'moms' will miss you! Have a safe journey!】
Little Jason looked like he had lost all hope: 【Men are all pigs...】
Behind the camera, Jiang Yuan was watching the comments on a tablet. His shoulders were shaking with laughter, and some sharp-eared viewers immediately caught the sound.
【Eh? Is Baby Yuan there too?】
【Isn't today Tuesday??? Doesn't Baby Yuan have class?】
"He’s feeling a bit unwell, so he took the day off," Xie Chengnan explained briefly.
*A-Yuan’s Little Cutie has gifted you a Deep-water Torpedo x1: Begging for Baby Yuan to show his face on stream.*
Xie Chengnan lifted his gaze and arched an eyebrow. His tone was flat, yet it carried a hint of inexplicable displeasure. "Showing his face is impossible. My baby is only for me to see." After saying that, he looked up and directed a radiant smile toward Jiang Yuan’s direction off-camera. His eyes shone like the sun breaking through the clouds after a rain.
Feeling Xie Chengnan’s blatant possessiveness, Jiang Yuan felt his entire body flush. He grumbled inwardly, wondering who it was that claimed last night they didn't know how to say sweet nothings.
The stream chat instantly exploded.
【Ah! I’m dead! *hiccup*!】
【An unexpected mouthful of dog food!】
【CEO Brother: My wife is only for me to see!】
【Stingy Professor Xie is strangely cute, lol.】
Before the heat on Jiang Yuan’s face could subside, the studio door was pushed open a crack.
Freesia, who had been charging downstairs, poked her head in and asked curiously: 【Papa, Mama, what are you doing?】
【Am I hallucinating???】
【The CEO brother and A-Yuan already have a daughter?!】
【This soft, cute loli voice! I’m in!】
Xie Chengnan beckoned to Freesia. "Freesia, come say hello to everyone."
When Freesia entered the frame, the chat boiled over again.
【Eh? Is this a new little robot?】
【So Jason has fallen out of favor...】
【Only the laughter of the new is heard, while the old is left to cry... Jason, go in peace...】
The aloof Freesia tilted her head and said obediently: 【Hello everyone, I am Freesia.】
Jason acted as if he’d seen a savior: 【Waaaah... Freesia, save me...】
The "savior" ignored her miserable companion and asked her master excitedly: 【Papa, are you going to take him apart now?】
"Yes." Professor Xie picked up a wrench from the toolbox and weighed it in his hand. His tone was chilly. "Because of him, A-Yuan is angry with me."
The comments were full of skepticism.
【Is it really 'angry'???】
【CEO Brother! Put your hand on that box of condoms and speak from your conscience!】
【To the person above, you don't understand the way adults apologize~】
【I bet he used 'anger' as an excuse to do this and that, and then some more of this and that to him, hehehe~】
Seeing this, Xie Chengnan rubbed his nose awkwardly and changed the subject. "I’m starting the disassembly. If you’re bored, feel free to check out other streams."
【No no no! We’re rooting ourselves right here!】
Xie Chengnan let out a short, low laugh, finding the interaction with these viewers quite interesting.
He had originally activated the industrial robot, King, to help, but Freesia snatched the job away.
【Papa, use this~ o(≧v≦)o】 Freesia said, handing Xie Chengnan a power drill.
The chat was a string of ellipses.
【Suddenly I feel like Jason is truly pitiful...】
【Aloof yet brutal, I’ve unexpectedly become a fan of Freesia, lol.】
【It feels like I’m witnessing a domestic violence scene...】
Xie Chengnan said with amusement, "I don't need the drill for now." As he spoke, he deftly removed one of Jason's arms in a few quick motions.
【Holy crap... so brutal...】
【Strangely, it feels quite bloody...】
Freesia was a mindless fangirl: 【Papa is so cool! Papa is the best~】
The prone Jason could only whimper now.
King, the less intelligent industrial robot, stood quietly to the side. Following instructions, it began to dismantle the removed arm, revealing a dense cluster of parts and wires.
Once he entered his work state, Xie Chengnan stopped talking. His movements were concise and efficient, his gaze focused and serious. Soon, the only sound in the room was the clinking of metal tools.
Jiang Yuan lay on the temporary sofa, quietly watching his boyfriend work.
Light streamed in from the glass window behind Xie Chengnan, plating him in a faint layer of pale gold. His features, already somewhat deep, appeared sharp and cool due to his serious expression, yet this only added a seductive quality to him. The more Jiang Yuan looked, the more he felt his heart stir.
A crowd of people in the chat were swooning over his looks. The viewer count, far from decreasing, was actually rising. Someone had likely posted about it on Weibo, quickly attracting a group of students and professionals. Even the style of the comments changed.
【Mechanical Engineering major reporting in... say no more... let me record this first!】
【Ahhh! That robot next to him is so strong! It can handle such tiny parts independently!】
【Our tutor made us stop our experiment to come watch...】
【Kneeling before the big boss...】
Jiang Yuan had been forced by Freesia to drink a lot of water that morning, and after watching for a while, he couldn't help but need the bathroom.
Afraid of disturbing Xie Chengnan, Jiang Yuan turned onto his side and carefully propped up his upper body. To his surprise, the moment he moved, Professor Xie, who had been immersed in his work, immediately looked up.
"What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable somewhere?" Xie Chengnan dropped his tools and walked over, his voice laced with concern.
"It’s nothing," Jiang Yuan said softly. "Keep working, I’m just going to the bathroom."
Xie Chengnan stopped him from sitting up further, leaning down to scoop him up. "I'll carry you," he said warmly.
"Don't." Jiang Yuan pushed at him. "Go back to work, it’s just a short distance."
"Does your bottom not hurt anymore?" Xie Chengnan looked at him with a hint of amusement. Terrified, Jiang Yuan quickly covered his mouth and hissed through gritted teeth, "You’re still live streaming!"
Xie Chengnan froze, only then remembering the stream. He cleared his throat awkwardly. "I forgot..." That said, he ignored the room full of people waiting for him and calmly carried his boyfriend out.
The viewers, left hanging, didn't mind being stood up at all. They were busy filling in the blanks.
【Hehehe, could it be that the night before last was too intense~】
【Hehehe, maybe it’s a new injury from last night~】
【Hehehe, wait... I clearly came here to learn, why am I 'hehehe-ing' with you guys???】
【Hehehe, our class was temporarily changed to watching this stream, and our professor’s face has turned green~~】
On the other side, as the culprit behind Jiang Yuan’s "illness," Professor Xie very naturally followed his boyfriend into the bathroom.
"I can do it myself!" Young Master Jiang rejected Professor Xie’s offer to provide further "service" and strongly insisted he leave.
Although they had already seen everything there was to see of each other, the act of using the bathroom in front of the other person—something quite normal—suddenly felt abnormal, tinged with an indescribable atmosphere.
However, Professor Xie hugged his boyfriend from behind and said shamelessly, "I’ve already 'eaten' you, what’s there to be embarrassed about?"
Jiang Yuan: "!!!!" Eaten, my foot!
Young Master Jiang couldn't help but flush. He turned his head and cursed, "You old rogue!"
The old rogue chuckled and pushed his luck, pulling someone’s pants down halfway. "Lean on me," he offered kindly. "I’ll hold it for you."
Realizing what he was "holding," Young Master Jiang lost his cool and began to struggle. "Get out! How am I supposed to go if you’re doing this?!"
"Why wouldn't you be able to?" Professor Xie whistled into his ear. While the hand holding "it" was quite well-behaved, the hand around his waist slipped inside his shirt.
Jiang Yuan: "!!!!"
This trip to the bathroom ended up taking twenty minutes.
When Xie Chengnan reappeared in the stream, he found the chat very quiet. It wasn't until he turned his face toward the camera and gave a half-hearted apology that it resumed. "Sorry, there’s a patient at home, so it took some time."
Only then did the chat come back to life.
【...Whispering: Is it really because of a patient???】
【I don't dare to say, I don't dare to ask...】
【You can even make a move on a patient? I didn't expect you to be this kind of Professor Xie...】
"What are you thinking..." Professor Xie said solemnly. "Am I that kind of person?"
Outside the frame, Young Master Jiang, his face still red, glared fiercely at the pretender, wishing he could hurl the tablet at him.
Likely to distract the viewers, Professor Xie finally began to explain what he was doing today. "I’ve been quite busy lately and haven't had time to cook for my baby. It’s unhealthy to keep having him eat takeout, so I’m planning to give Jason an upgrade and try to teach him how to cook."
【Eh? Does the CEO brother usually cook??】
【You could just teach him personally, hand-in-hand~】
"No time." As Xie Chengnan resumed his work, he said naturally, "A-Yuan is too busy. He has school and has to learn how to manage the company. I can handle these trivial matters."
【The 'Wife-Doting Demon' has come online!】
【Holy crap! I’m salty again!】
【Right, right, right! He’s busy! Are you, a CEO, not busy???】
Jiang Yuan hadn't expected Xie Chengnan to say that. While he grumbled internally about the man being a beast in human clothing, he couldn't help but feel a sweetness in his heart. The embarrassment and annoyance from being teased in the bathroom were quickly tossed to the back of his mind.
