When Qin Fanglu arrived at “Secret Base” coffee shop, there were already people gathering at the entrance.
A waiter guided Qin Fanglu through the back door and upstairs, then said, “Mr. Cheng is waiting for you on the second floor.”
There was no one currently in Secret Base, Qin Fanglu familiarly passed through the games and manga areas, and found Cheng Kai in a semi-open seats1This kinda seat, I don’t know what to call those in English. Cheng kai is sitting on the sofa-like seat
.
Cheng Kai was wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans, wearing a pair of black thin-framed glasses. His hair slightly dishevelled, lazily leaning against the seat.
When he saw Qin Fanglu coming, he stretched out his hand from afar, palms open as if asking for something.
“If you don’t come, my shop won’t open today,” Cheng Kai said in ridicule.
Qin Fanglu took out the five signed art pieces from the folder and handed them to Cheng Kai.
“It was you who set the time, I’m not late.” Qin Fanglu looked at his wrist watch.
“I got it, I got it.” Cheng Kai really couldn’t stand this rationalist Qin Fanglu, he waved his hand at the waiter and said, “Go open the door.”
The waiters nodded and went downstairs.
Qin Fanglu poured over two glasses of sake and raised his hand slightly in a toast, “Congratulations for the opening of Secret Base.”
“A lot of thanks to Teacher Big Balls’ dedicated contribution of five signed art pieces,” Cheng Kai clinked his glass with a smile, “I estimate the customer flow will increase by 20% tonight.”
Qin Fanglu shot him a glance, “Unlikely.”
Cheng Kai was a very casual person. He likes to play games, so after graduating from college he decided to open an independent game studio, which inexplicably got popular. The game company grew bigger and bigger, but Cheng Kai felt that he had lost pure happiness.
So Cheng Kai wants to build an anime-themed coffee shop, just as a hobby.
At that time, Qin Fanglu promised that as long as Cheng Kai kept his promise, he would definitely provide free publicity to the coffee shop.
The shop opened and the customers came rushing in, making noises inside.
Cheng Kai put down the beige curtain on the seat and drank the sake in the glass in one gulp.
——This, Cheng Kai wants to complain.
Both of them are already 27/28 years old with their own careers. The content of their chat is definitely not like when they were students, only revolving on anime, mangas, and games.
Adults have adult problems.
“Do you know how many times I have been forced to go on blind dates this month? Six times! My mom really dares to search. The women she arranged are all bank executives, physics PhDs, amazing lawyers, all of them beautiful and wealthy. Then I look at myself in the mirror, do I deserve them?”
Cheng Kai drank, drowning his sorrows, nagging, “Moreover, do they think I don’t want to find a partner? I also want to ah! But I still have so many games I want to spend money on2Krypton refers to topping up money for in-game purchases, such as the skins, the weapons, the characters. Sometimes what they topped up is just for a raffle. So it does spend a lot of money, so many cute fictional wives to raise…. Hey, if my wives know I’m going to the third dimension to have blind dates with other women, will they get angry ya!”
Qin Fanglu, “No, they have a lot of husbands, can’t attend to you.”
Cheng Kai exclaimed, “You fucker! You killed me but still want to stab my heart!”
Seeing that Qin Fanglu didn’t respond, Cheng Kai continued to speak in a tearful voice, “My dad even started looking for men for me. They said I must bring a living person home before I turn thirty. Don’t you think it’s unreasonable?”
“Not unreasonable.”
Qin Fanglu didn’t even frown. “Firstly, when our dorm group were watching3As in CDs, likely referring to anime together back then, you had a conversation with your roommates showing that humanity is attractive to you, and that you like living breathing people. Secondly, if you are still single until now, it means you haven’t met someone you like yet. So you should go meet more people regardless of gender, so that the likelihood of meeting someone you like can increase.”
“…….”
Cheng Kai was speechless, “I fucking shouldn’t have told you about this.”
Qin Fanglu shrugged, “I just said some facts.”
Cheng Kai sighed, “I really envy you. Your mother is so open-minded ah. I reckon she will never urge you to get married and have children in this lifetime.”
Qin Fanglu nodded calmly: “After all, I can only get hard for 2D life forms. She already knew that.”
Cheng Kai spurted out a mouthful of sake.
During the restless period of adolescence, every child has more or less been exposed to some forbidden movies or videos.
While the vast majority of heterosexual couples in their dormitories were flushed from sharing action movies, and a few homosexuals were flustered after discovering their niche sexual orientation, Qin Fanglu was big-heartedly watching the CG animation of Octopus X Siren at home, playing with his hard cock with serene expression.
Qin Fanglu has a wide range of interests, whether it is straight, MLM, WLW, he accepts it all.
Things like trolls, animals, aliens, supernatural beings, machines, he likes it all.
In short, only fictional creatures can incite Qin Fanglu’s physiological impulses.
Qin Fanglu’s definition towards himself is very clear-cut. He is an extremely rational paper-sexual4I’m keeping it as paper sexual here just because I like this term more, but it refers to paper (fictional) characters (fictosexuality).
Qin Fanglu did not find himself strange.
The world is so big, there are so many sexual orientations, what’s so strange about paper-sexuality?
Cheng Kai resentfully said, “You are so indifferent to real people, your subordinates must have had a hard time! Their boss is like a robot who only knows work, not caring about them the slightest bit.”
He was just making off-hand scoldings, not expecting Qin Fanglu to quiet down, seemingly earnestly reflecting.
“Our department’s turnover rate has increased by 2.3% in the past two years, the problem might be because of my management issues.” Qin Fanglu self-reflected, “Cheng Kai, how do you usually do it?”
Cheng Kai doesn’t feel tired talking about this kind of topic. Others can scold the game he made as rotten, but they couldn’t say that his company’s atmosphere is poor.
“I get along well with my employees ah, they would definitely give five-star ratings for the company atmosphere,” Cheng Kai said proudly, then unhesitatingly evaluated Qin Fanglu. “You must be the kind of cold boss who only communicates with employees in meetings, doesn’t chat with them, and doesn’t have any team building activities, right?”
Qin Fanglu, “Yes, what’s the problem?”
A company is a place for work, not for parties.
Cheng Kai shook his index finger like a professor and said, “Your Zhufang is now very large, you need to pay more attention to shaping the corporate culture. Although many employees don’t like team building activities and the likes, engaging in appropriate and interesting team activities can enhance cohesion and bring you closer together. You need to keep good employees ah, you can’t do everything by yourself, right?”
Qin Fanglu thought it over for a moment, thinking of the welcome party that his subordinates held for the new child tonight, and suddenly felt that Cheng Kai’s words made sense.
He seems to have been a bit negligent. Their company’s lower ranks often organizes their own activities, the Technology Department’s gatherings are few and far in between.
The shop had just carried out the first round of the lottery, and the sound of laughter lingered in the ear.
Qin Fanglu tilted his head, “It’s the grand opening of your own shop, shouldn’t you go and check the situation?”
“Meeting up with you is rare, but we can’t even chat for a while,” Cheng Kai put down his cup. “I’ll go join in the fun now, you coming?”
Qin Fanglu stood up, “I’ll come back later. I’m in a hurry now.”
Although he said he was in a hurry, Qin Fanglu still casually took several beautiful photos of Secret Base, as well as the customers filling the venue to the brim in this grand occasion.
Cheng Kaixin said in tacit understanding of his character, “I understand. Hurrying back to return and draw robots in love?”
But Qin Fanglu shook his head and said, “Go to the self-organized party thrown by the employees.”
Cheng Kai: ???
The author has something to say:
Information that can now be made public:
The only character Qin Fanglu has ever cosplayed was the Pyramid Head from Silent Hill. He was forced by Cheng Kai.
Cheng Kai’s reason for moral kidnapping: Those boobas are so big, they must be shown to others 🙂
Translator’s note:
I pray that my career would be as smooth as Cheng Kai’s, and have the confidence and rationality of Teacher Balls.
