I’ll Give You That — You Can Endure

Back when Ye Chen was playing "Love Consultant" for his best friend, his golden rule was simple: “Better to have the heat without the title than the title without the heat.”

Then it was his turn.

On a New Year’s Eve buried in a blizzard, Ye Chen drove two thousand kilometers to rescue a "pitiful" little streamer from a cramped, drafty rental.

The streamer’s name was Jiang Yu. Pure as an angel on the outside, a siren on the inside—a visual-tier influencer who tried to sell "thirst-trap" content so clumsily it was almost heartbreaking.

He was a "pro" at one thing, though: the second he stepped into Ye Chen’s house, he started stripping.

Ye Chen simply reached out and cinched the boy’s collar tight. "That’s not what I’m here for," he said.

With neither the title nor the heat, Ye Chen pampered and protected Jiang Yu for two long years. Then, he found out the truth.

Jiang Yu was actually the youngest son of a Hong Kong shipping tycoon. He was a sharpshooter who could snipe the mast off a yacht from three kilometers away. As for the "clumsy" thirst-trapping? He only did it because he was obsessed with showing off his abs and living for the compliments.

Ye Chen: “...”

They say the strategist should never step onto the battlefield. Because once he does, he’s either a God or the ultimate Joker.

If Jiang Yu had been willing from the very start... then what the hell was Ye Chen doing playing the stoic saint for two years?

Jiang Yu: “I’ll give you that—you can really endure.”
