More than a month later.
On Saturday, the bedroom curtains were half open, and the sunlight poured in, covering Ethan Nan's crossed feet.
He leaned lazily against the head of the bed. On the messy bed there was a box of Rainbow Gummy Bears, which lay slanting between the gaps in the quilt and was half eaten.
"Knock, knock."
"Come in, the door is unlocked."
Ethan Nan didn't raise his eyes and continued flipping through the comics.
The person wearing an apron at the door was used to it. He came in, drew aside the curtain, and opened the window: "Get some fresh air, don't get suffocated."
"Yeah, thank you, brother."
Adrian Nan didn't care about the heartless thank you. "I learned how to make pasta from the chef. I'll be out to eat in ten minutes."
The smart alarm clock on the bedside table detected Adrian Nan's voice and announced sweetly: "I have set the alarm for you in ten minutes~"
People immersed in the two-dimensional world are indifferent and keep their legs folded.
Tyler Nan smiled bitterly, walked to the door and remembered something: "Xiaobao, the doctor called and I have to go for a follow-up check-up this afternoon."
A young internet addict frowned: "My legs are healed, do I have to go?"
"I'll take you there," Tyler Nan patiently comforted him, "It's better to be safe than sorry. If Xiaobao goes to the hospital obediently, I'll take you to the restaurant on the sea tomorrow."
"OK!"
Ethan Nan agreed decisively.
The story of why Ethan Nan became what he is now started from when he accidentally opened the website that Mason Chen had visited more than a month ago.
His desire to explore was so strong that within a few days, Ethan Nan made a group of like-minded friends on that website, and they were all boys...
Then Ethan Nan discovered the background information that he had always overlooked: the world setting of "Hundred Billion Dollar Pets" is that same-S3x marriage is allowed!
In other words, in the world of this book, BL novels have an equal audience of both genders, and the number of boys even exceeds that of girls.
This is also the reason why Tyler Nan was not surprised when he learned that Mason Chen was reading this kind of novel. Originally, Ethan Nan was still marveling at the fact that Mason Chen would also read gay love novels, but later he realized that people who did not understand and had no contact with gay culture were the outliers here.
He read many books in one breath, and his guardian Adrian Nan didn't say anything. Later, Ethan Nan's appetite grew, and he turned to following the same type of anime and TV series.
If the interstellar danmei culture is a desert, then the danmei culture on ancient Earth is a metropolis with extensive connections. Wherever you stroll, there will be new surprises waiting to be discovered.
But everything has its limits. Ethan Nan devoured entertainment products without restraint and finally got choked.
And he found that he still prefers real-life CPs.
[Kiwi: I’m so pissed off. I’ve been following this book for half a year, but it’s no longer updated! (Throwing a tantrum) (Rolling on the ground) (Swearing)]
A message popped up on the phone. Ethan Nan picked it up and replied: [Hasn’t the series been completed yet? I’m running out of books. ]
[Kiwi: I envy those of you who only follow completed novels. I’m going to die anyway, and I have to wait two weeks for new food! ]
Ethan Nan sympathized with him for three seconds. But he didn't follow the serials for another reason: he was afraid that he would be unable to resist hacking into the author's computer and taking out the manuscripts.
The technical difficulty is less than half a star, which is too dangerous.
[Jelly Orange: Is Teacher Fu sick? Why has he stopped updating for so long? ]
[Kiwi: No, he seems to still be a student. Isn't it almost final week? ]
Finals week! Is it already the end of the year? Ethan Nan was a little dazed.
It has been almost two months since Tyler Nan took sick leave to recover from his injured leg. He has neither attended classes nor studied on his own. So can he skip the final exam?
There had been no movement in the cannon fodder trio's small group for a long time. I heard that Caleb Cheng was doing an internship in his own hospital, and Ryan Mo followed him.
He tried to ask about the final exam and got a quick reply:
【Caleb Cheng: I have been studying late into the night with the corpse for two weeks. 】
[Ryan Mo: Get lost, who is the corpse? ]
【Caleb Cheng: And the corpse and you, that's enough. 】
Ethan Nan:...Okay, you all study secretly behind my back.
The interstellar mecha maintenance engineer, who had always been strong-willed, immediately got out of bed and looked for his professional books.
But how can you find something that doesn't exist? Ethan Nan searched in vain and decided to ask for help from a reliable person.
The alarm clock for dinner rang, but Ethan Nan didn't have time to answer it.
Tyler Nan, who was waiting in the restaurant, followed the sound and knocked on the door: "It's time for dinner."
"Wait a moment."
Ethan Nan asked Mo Wen Ze for Mason Chen's contact information, but Mo Wen Ze said he had deleted it a long time ago and that he could ask Feng Lian Ying for the contact information. He didn't want to be an intermediary and get involved with Mason Chen. But Ethan Nan also didn't want to get involved with a pimp, so he was struggling over whether to go to school to find Mason Chen or save some trouble and ask Feng Lian Ying.
"What's bothering you so much?" Tyler Nan asked curiously.
Ethan Nan thought of something and looked up, sizing up the person standing on the other side of the bed: wearing ordinary blue striped home clothes, a printed apron tied around the waist, and khaki cotton slippers...
Something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Wait, wasn't Tyler Nan the domineering and cold protagonist?
So who is this standard "male mother" now?
"The final exams are coming up soon," Ethan Nan, who had been commanding the protagonist without any burden for more than a month, felt particularly guilty, "I want to find someone to help me with my studies."
"Exam? Are you worried about that?" Tyler Nan thought it was funny, but then he realized that he couldn't discourage his brother's enthusiasm for study. "Hehe, I'll find a tutor for you."
Ethan Nan shook his head, "No, I already have a candidate, I just don't have his contact information yet."
"who is it?"
"Mason Chen."
Tyler Nan had some impression of this name. There were few students in Nanshi University of the Arts that he could remember. He must be an outstanding kid.
But why did Orange specifically ask for him?
"Did you know Mason Chen before?" Tyler Nan asked casually.
"He tutored me on my midterm paper, and I got an A+!" Ethan Nan couldn't help but be proud of his favorite character.
When Mason Chen was mentioned, Xiao Chengzi's eyes lit up.
Tyler Nan suddenly felt a little jealous.
"Actually, my brother is not bad at tutoring ---"
"It turns out that Mason Chen's email address is posted on the official website!"
Tyler Nan shut up, lowered his head and left his brother's bedroom sadly.
After walking a few steps, a man jumped on his back and asked, "Brother, what delicious food did you make today?"
The haze above Tyler Nan's head dissipated, and his mood instantly became sunny:
"Spaghetti with tomato and meat sauce, and steak."
"Brother is so nice to me~" Ethan Nan said in a formal way.
The brother who was praised shyly covered his face and said, "Stop talking."
It's so easy to coax him, Ethan Nan thought. But Tyler Nan was really good to him. His cooking skills improved rapidly in more than a month. He was at home seven days a week, all day on weekends, and got off work on time on weekdays.
A few days before Ethan Nan moved in, there was an aunt who took care of the housework, but she later disappeared. Now Tyler Nan takes care of all the housework, including drying clothes, cooking, and cleaning.
Ethan Nan felt a little uncomfortable at first, but after staying with Adrian Nan for a long time, he gradually felt at ease and enjoyed the care of his "brother", and his plan to find a way to return to the interstellar space was delayed again and again.
It shouldn't have happened. In the interstellar space, it was difficult for him to establish close relationships with people around him. But after traveling to ancient Earth where the cultural difference was huge, he quickly became dependent on Tyler Nan.
Could it be that the protagonist has some magical power?
"Can we go to the Sea Restaurant tomorrow and add two more people?" Tyler Nan asked the person eating heartily across from him at the table.
Ethan Nan was a little thirsty, so he took a sip of lemonade and asked, "Is he your friend?"
"One is, the other is... a closer friend."
"Ahem..."
Ethan Nan choked badly - Hey, don't inform him of important matters while he is drinking water!
"Your brother Lucas Xie is back, so it's a good time to hold a welcoming party for him. You haven't seen him for many years, so you probably have forgotten what he looks like. But his appearance is not important, he's not as handsome as me anyway. What do you want to eat? I'll tell the restaurant manager in advance and ask them to prepare it in advance. And ---"
Tyler Nan made small talk, trying to avoid more important questions.
"Brother, are you in love?"
"No," Tyler Nan waved his hands with a fake smile. Under his brother's "who are you kidding" look, he changed his words and became more serious. "Yes, I'm dating someone. We've been dating for half a year."
As expected, Ethan Nan sighed. It took him so long to introduce her to him. He couldn't imagine how good of a brother-in-law he would be more than a month ago.
Now that he has become lazy, he realizes what a good brother Adrian Nan is. Tsk, he feels a little reluctant to let him go.
"We are planning to live together." Afraid that he might change his mind, Tyler Nan chose to say it all at once.
"Living together? So soon?" Ethan Nan was puzzled. Tyler Nan had been running back and forth between the company and home every day. He didn't even have time to develop feelings with Shu Yi, so they were already living together? Could Tyler Nan be a Sc*mbag?
"Your sister-in-law, no, Shuyi also thinks it's better for you to live with us."
!!! Not quite right? Ethan Nan's CP radar sounded an alarm.
