The side couple story of "Deskmate": Fu Yu vs. Yi Li [Screenshotted on 2020/07/13]
Back when Fu Yu was still a professional player, one of his teammates brought a skinny little "minor" to the team.
The minor hardly spoke. His teammate explained, "This kid can't even afford enough to eat and has nowhere to go, so I brought him to stay with the team for a couple of days."
For reasons unknown, Fu Yu was suddenly overcome with compassion. He went over to him and said, "You're Yi Li, right? I'm not making you sign a contract. From now on, stick with me and be my personal assistant."
Yi Li: "Thanks, bro."
Fu Yu: "We're not that close. Don't call me bro. Call me boss."
Yi Li: "..." Oh.

Fu Yu thought he'd picked up a well-behaved little darling. Who knew the kid was a hot-tempered guy? Whenever he got annoyed, he'd throw punches. If someone else argued, he'd hit them instead. Every time, it would cause a huge commotion and send one trending topic after another soaring.
Fu Yu pretended to scold him. "If you don't behave, I'll fire you."
Yi Li angrily ran off.
His teammate was frantic. "Oh, that little ancestor is not someone you can afford to provoke. You really can't provoke him."
Fu Yu laughed. "What, is he some young master from a big family?"
Three days later, the team held an emergency meeting: the team had been sold, and the new boss was coming tomorrow.
Everyone looked completely bewildered: ???
On the day the new boss arrived, the spectacle left everyone dumbstruck.
Wait, is all this really necessary??? What with the hugely popular award-winning actors, all those top-tier stars, the gods of the industry whose net worth was unmatched, and the trending topics that immediately followed...
When the door of the world's only custom-built private car opened, a pair of slender ankles was the first thing to come into view.
Photographer: Get the shot! Take pictures, take pictures!
And when the new boss finally appeared, everyone was struck speechless.
Fu Yu: "Yi Li?"
Yi Li smiled. "We're not that close. Don't call me Yi Li. Call me boss."
Fu Yu: ?

Yi Li: Still sulking, needs to be coaxed :)

"This is bad! I heard Fu Yu made a move on a minor!"
The rumor set off a storm. Fans saw the trending photo of Fu Yu kissing a minor and cried, "What a beast!!!"
But the next day,
a photo that made everyone's nose bleed shot straight to the top of the trending topics. In it, the "minor" sat on a sofa in an exquisite formal outfit, a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth. He tugged on Fu Yu's tie, planted a foot on his shoulder, and gave the camera a disdainful look.
The caption read: "He's mine."
That night, Yi Li's pale wrist was bound so tightly with that tie that he couldn't move. The corners of his eyes were flushed red, and his breathing was ragged.
Fu Yu leisurely loosened his collar. "Having fun? Master-servant play."
So now, shouldn't they switch roles?
