Bachelor's Pad revolves around the men living on a five floor apartment (condo-type) building owned by Maki Frias, an elusive millionaire  living at the top floor (But the people living in there doesn’t know he's a millionaire except one. They just know that he's a recluse, with a genius of a brain when it comes to information technology). It is located at the heart of the city but not as noticeable as other residential  buildings.  The building looks normal on the outside but it is high-tech and modern on the inside with very tight security.  That’s why those who prefer extreme privacy and safety wants to live there.

But there is a catch. This building is exclusively for men only at ang pwede lang tumira doon ay iyong personal na nirekomenda ng isang residente ng building. Bawal din magpapasok ng babae sa building. That is because Maki Frias is said to be a woman hater that he doesn’t want any woman inside his building.  So when a man decides to live there, he must sign a contract that states that he abides that rule.  

But what if they fall in love?

After she had paid, Lu Yi Yun immediately picked up the cat as if she was afraid of losing it. But she felt that it was a bit strange; Jasmine seemed to be particularly good today. She obediently stayed in her arms after entering the shop, and didn’t even make any movements to look around. What was going on? Zhang Zian put the three new red tickets into his wallet, pulled the bathroom door open, and said, "Come in." 
The bathroom on the first floor of Amazing Fate Pet Shop was designed by Zhang Zian’s parents and constructed by other people. They had planned to open services for bathing pets, and although it did not work out in the end, there was no issue on this bathroom’s design. The bathroom wasn’t too big; it was one meter and a half wide, two meters tall, and appeared a bit cramped. 
The center was an aisle, and there was a bath counter similar to a kitchen counter on each side. At each bath counter, there were three sinks in the proper order of small, medium, and large, respectively, in correspondence to small pets, medium-sized pets, and large pets. There was also a shower spray above each sink. The sinks looked like ordinary stainless steel kitchen sinks, but their inner walls were marked with scales. What was somewhat extraordinary was that the bottoms of the sinks were lined with rubber padding. There were a lot of non-slip particles on the pad to prevent the pets from slipping and falling when they were bathing in the sink. 
In theory, there were a total of six large and small sinks, so six pets of different sizes could bathe at the same time. But this type of ideal situation could not possibly appear. Bathing one pet alone was already troublesome enough; bathing six pets together would be earth shaking.
The bathroom used transparent glass that was single-handedly separated from the corner of the first floor. After Zhang Zian took Lu Yi Yun in, he closed the door to maintain the temperature. He could give her instructions just by standing outside. Zhang Zian pointed to a medium-sized sink, "Just right there then. First, plug the bottom of the sink, then turn on the shower spray, and fill it up with five centimeters of water—there’s a scale on the inner wall, you see it right? It would be fine to just immerse the cat’s paws." Lu Yi Yun did as he said and inserted the plug.  
At this time, Wang Qian couldn’t help but open his mouth, "Master! She is just a mere mortal, how could she be compared to master with your indestructible ability? How about having her put on some rubber gloves first? Don’t I see gloves hanging on the walls of this bathroom…" Wang Qian raised a Nulla luctus felis at home, and although his parents were taking care of it, he knew a lot of cats that would begin to toss around in chaos the moment they entered the bathroom, not to mention when bathing. He thought, "According to master’s ability, he would not forget this point. Also, there were obviously spare rubber gloves hanging there; why didn’t master say anything?"
Aunt Liu and Lu Yi Yun were shocked when they heard it. What the heck was indestructible ability? Besides, was there anyone who wasn’t a mortal in this room?
Although Zhang Zian was thick-skinned, he still blushed a bit at this time. He was really anxious to plug those two idiots’ mouths with the rubber gloves. Lu Yi Yun lifted her head up slightly, and also saw the line of rubber gloves hanging on the bathroom wall. "Mr. Manager, do I need to wear gloves?" she asked. She had unconsciously learned to address Zhang Zian as "Mr. Manager", just like how Snowy had in her live broadcasts. 
"No need," Zhang Zian replied straightforwardly, "Cats are animals with a strong concept of domain, including house cats. They will use urine to divide domain. I also have a super fierce cat in my shop, her. This is her domain." He pointed at Fina. "All animals bully the weak and fear the strong. Upon entering someone’s domain, one must clamp one’s tail if one can’t defeat the other person. This is the general law of the animal world. No matter how rebellious a cat is that comes to my shop, it must weigh its ability to see whether it can defeat her."
"Oh," Lu Yi Yun nodded as if she understood. She noticed that Fina’s stature was very robust, and her eyes were sharp. She was like a small leopard, and appeared very fierce. Compared to Fina, her Jasmine was just like a small white rabbit in front of a lion. "Then can I start?" she asked Zhang Zian. "Yes," Zhang Zian replied affirmatively. 
Thus she stretched her hand out towards the shower spray valve. 
Whoosh! The water turned on, countless streams of water spurted out from the shower’s pores and splashed into the sink. The shower spray was connected to a hot water faucet, with the temperature set to forty-three degrees. The body temperature of cats was thirty-eight point six degrees, which was a little higher than the human body temperature, so the temperature for the bath water must be higher than their body temperature. Of course, the temperature couldn’t be too high; cats did not have the refined interest of soaking in hot water baths. 
The screams of people and cats that Wang Qian had imagined did not occur. There was only the sound of the steady flow of water. He took a closer look; the cat was still perfectly lying on the counter next to the sink, and there were not any bizarre movements. He patted his head and thought, "F*ck, the advanced animal-taming skills were so godly that it even changed the nature of the cat."
Lu Yi Yun stared at the lines on the scale. When the water hit five centimeters, she turned off the valve according to Zhang Zian’s instructions. "Now, put the cat into the sink, lift its chin up slightly with your left hand, and open the shower spray to rinse it. Just pay attention to one point, and don’t wash its face when you are bathing it. There is nothing else other than that. Very simple," Zhang Zian said. Lu Yi Yun put Jasmine into the sink. Other than having felt its body tremble briefly when its paws first entered the water, it was continuously obedient. It was better behaved than usual; it was well-behaved like a fake cat. 
She held on to Jasmine’s chin according to the instructions, and opened the valve of the shower, carefully avoiding its face. The water soaked its long fur, and all that soaked fur clung onto its body. Its body shrunk rapidly like a rubber ball that was leaking air. The cuteness was not there anymore, and it looked a bit ridiculous. 
The shower spray was fixed, and faced the center to the sink. As long as the pets don’t move around, their heads and butts won’t get washed. 
"See the sponge next to the sink? Dip the sponge into the water, and wash all the parts that did not get rinsed."
She used the soaked sponge to wet the fur on Jasmine’s chest, butt, inner legs, knees, and tail. 
"Next, turn off the shower spray. There’s body wash on the shelf. Squeeze some onto the sponge, and rub out some foam. Then scrub it like you’re giving yourself a bath. Make your movements swift to prevent it from catching a cold. 
The body wash on the sponge produced a large amount of foam; Jasmine’s entire body was covered in foam, apart from her face and paws. Lu Yi Yun gently stroked its fur—it was both supple and smooth, like high quality silk. Bubbles also floated on top of the water on the surface of the sink. The water became no longer clear; considerable  filth and half-strands of fur floated up and down. She had not expected that Jasmine, who usually appeared to be pretty clean, would actually be this dirty already. This was despite her combing Jasmine’s fur every day. "God knows how long it had been since its former owner had given it a bath, perhaps never," she wondered. She felt that it was really good that she could bring Jasmine to bathe!

Zhao Hao frowned. Through his senses, he did not detect any abnormalities. He could not understand why the other party was so surprised.
Just then, Fang Xingjian's voice rang out in Zhao Hao's mind.
"He is looking at me."
Zhao Hao turned his head fiercely, and it was only then that he saw Fang Xingjian standing behind him without him knowing when he had arrived there.
Then Zhao Hao struck out a punch, and a dragon's roar rang through the world. The ether particles in the atmosphere seethed intensely. The spot where Fang Xingjian was at was instantly turned into a state of vacuum. All heat energy, light energy, and microparticles were cut off. 
However, in Zhao Hao's eyes, Fang Xingjian was still standing there unscathed.
He frowned. It was at this moment that he finally recalled Fang Xingjian's identity. He was the mysterious man who had appeared before him and Concubine Shu in the past and then disappeared. It was from that day that his consciousness had gained many more martial art legacies.
Tang Xian's countenance kept on changing. In fact, after obtaining the martial art legacies, both he and Huang Shan had made several guesses. However, they were unable to detect Fang Xingjian's traces at all. They could only accept the legacies and cultivate the martial arts.
Upon seeing Fang Xingjian's appearance, Tang Xian immediately said, "Are all these your arrangements? You're the person behind the scenes?"
Zhao Hao also reacted. "Our martial arts... were all imparted by you?"
Fang Xingjian looked at Zhao Hao's and Tang Xian's gazes that were cast in his direction and said calmly, "That's right. Previously, you guys were too weak and weren't of much help to me. Right now, you guys can be said to be just being able to help me."
"So that's the case. Zhao Hao is really right. You're really the person behind the scenes. Are you thinking of seeing us fight it out to the death, after which you'll reap the rewards?"
As they spoke, Huang Shan slowly walked down from the Nine-Tiered Heavens. He was clearly emitting the aura of one at tier eight of the Divine level.
Tang Xian stood up as well and a similar figure also came descending down from the sky, integrating with his body. He had also reached tier eight of the Divine level.
In the Imperial Capital's direction, the clone impersonating Zhao Hao took a step out, turning into a stream of sword light that pierced into Zhao Hao's body, integrating into one with it. Zhao Hao had also reached tier eight of the Divine level.
"You didn't expect that, right?" Tang Xian said as he stared ahead. "Do you think that we don't know anything and just foolishly fight amongst ourselves?"
Zhao Hao's expression was extremely calm, and his eyes emitted intelligence. "I know you're very strong. But no matter how strong you are, the three of us have all reached tier eight of the Divine General. We just need an instant to destroy the Central Continent and also cause the disaster to implicate even Miracle World.
"You don't wish to see both worlds being destroyed amidst intense explosions, right?"
It seemed that not only had the three of them entered an alliance, but they had also exchanged some information regarding Fang Xingjian. Tang Xian and Huang Shan knew that Fang Xingjian came from Miracle World.
The three of them did not think they would be able to defeat Fang Xingjian. Therefore, they wanted to rely on their capabilities as experts at tier eight of the Divine level to destroy the two worlds as a bargaining chip to threaten Fang Xingjian. 
"So that's how it is," Fang Xingjian remarked, with no hint of surprise at all on his face. He tilted his head and said, "Mmmm, is it the Double Moons Projection? You guys went to different parallel universes together, then you discussed and came up with a plan? Thereafter, you concealed your actual bodies in other worlds and then communicated between yourselves through high-dimensional sensory abilities, only returning and exposing your actual capabilities now?
"Mmm, since that's the case, you guys should still have left behind a clone in another parallel universe as an escape path."
"That's right. You won't be able to sense our situations in another universe," Zhao Hao said as he looked at Fang Xingjian with a grim expression. "Another thing. don't suspect our determination. As long as you have any intention to attack, we'll use all of our powers to attack Central Continent.
"Given our cultivation, even if we were to leak out a hint of our powers, it would be sufficient to cause the entire Central Continent's plates to break, the mountains to collapse, and the entire continent to sink to the bottom of the sea. The tsunami created would be sufficient to engulf the entire Central Continent.
"We'll say it one more time. We are serious."
Fang Xingjian did not say anything, but a strong sense of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"This is your plan?
"How pathetic."
As Fang Xingjian spoke, he had already disappeared. The three of them was slightly stunned, and they could not understand what had happened.
At the next moment, the entire world started to spin. By the time the trio had gotten back to their senses, they realized that they had already turned into three gemstones. 
Zhao Hao suddenly thought of how Fang Xingjian had not shown any reaction at all to his punch. It was then that he instantly understood what had happened.
'We already entered his illusion from the first moment we saw him…?'
Looking at the gemstones created using three tier Divine level experts, there was no hint of joy on Fang Xingjian's face at all. It was because he was contemplating whether he also appeared to the demonic gods like how Zhao Hao and the other two appeared to him.
After spending all that effort and displaying all the means that they could, it was still meaningless in the end.
However, Fang Xingjian quickly tossed aside all these and communicated with the three of them whom he had turned into gemstones by using his martial will. "I want to reestablish the connection between this place and the higher realm. All three of you have grasped tier eight Divine level powers and have clones left behind in the higher realm. Zhao Hao has even grasped high-dimensional sensory abilities.
"I want you guys to to use all your powers to sense your clones in the higher realm and establish a connection."
The three of them were stunned for a moment. Then they heard Fang Xingjian continue, "If you're able to help me locate the higher realm, I can let you guys off."
Hearing that, the trio's hearts skipped a beat, and Zhao Hao immediately asked, "How do we know if what you said is true?"
"You don't have a choice."
After a period of silence, invisible waves were released from the trio's body. Fang Xingjian's martial will was gradually channeled into the three gemstones, replenishing their depleted powers.
"Alright, don't resist. Focus on sensing your clones."
Endless amounts of quantum foam flashed and disappeared before Fang Xingjian. It was as if there were countless worlds flashing past before him, controlling the consciousness within the three gemstones. Relying on the hint of connection between their martial wills as well as Zhao Hao's strengthened connection due to his high-dimensional sensory abilities, Fang Xingjian was able to search for the higher realm's location through the quantum foam.
"It's here!"
After three days and three nights, the three gemstones instantly erupted with a piercing white light. Fang Xingjian tapped out with a finger, and a bubble of quantum foam magnified instantly, turning into a big triangular gate. Fang Xingjian took a step forward and entered it.
The three gemstones floated around him. Fang Xingjian's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the brand new world that was presented before his eyes.
There was not a single cloud in the sky, and the sun revolved around a huge floating continent. The entire continent comprised of countless islands, peninsulas, and all sorts of lands that were in the world the Central Continent was in, excluding the Central Continent itself.
The ether particle density here was ten times that of Central Continent's. The land was filled with densely-packed plants. There were all sorts of medicinal plants that were beneficial to martial arts cultivation.
Tang Xian, who had turned into a gemstone, looked at this scene and let out a sigh while saying, "We've arrived. This is the higher realm. We've found the right place."


“Obtaining the topmost degree of talent in sword arts in the world requires giving up 72 years of lifespan, which leaves you with only five more years of your life. At the same time, you will never be able to feel love, kinship, and friendship, and you’ll end up leading a lonely life until your death, unable to procreate, or to have any descendants.

“From now onwards, everything related to happiness in the human world shall no longer be of your concern. Are you willing to accept this?”

“Hahahaha, I’m already alone bereft of all support, my hopes dashed to pieces, shouldering only absolutely irreconcilable grudge and hatred, why would I disagree? Why would I not want it? I couldn’t ask for anything better!!”

His sword sweeps across the Divine Continent for seven days and nights, moving 90,000 miles through the starry skies, unhindered.

He slays saints and buddhas in Heaven, slaughters demons and devils in Hell, sweeping away all the grievances in his heart! 

A river cut through the entire city of Gladstone, running from the old parts in the North to the inner city. It passed by the main citadel, through the garden zone, and finally out the business zone.
Basically, everyone used water from this river.
The Dark Elf and Naga priestess' aura went along this river. It was clear that they planned to poison it.
Celine grew fearful as she walked. "That Dark Elf is honestly so horrible. This way, it won't take long before the entire city is infected."
Link nodded. "They've already left for a day. I can sense very slight Dark aura in the water. It's probably too late to stop the infection. The only solution we have now is to find a way to crack this spell."
It had already been a day, and the aura left behind was very thin. Celine couldn't sense it at all.
She stuck close behind Link. The two walked from the garden zone to the old city and reached the mouth of the river.
"They've left the city. Let's go."
There was a city wall that blocked their path. Link took out the Dragon King's Fury sword and drew some runes in the air. With a light tap, a magic door appeared. The two moved through the wall.
Outside the city, they continued up the river.
At first, there were still some residents outside. After around three miles, the terrain became steeper. A mountain and a waterfall appeared. This waterfall was around 150 feet high. Water fell from the sky, crashing against the rock with a thick spray.
This time, Celine felt the thin Dark aura in the air. "It really is the water!"
Link nodded. He could feel the auras of the Dark Elf and Naga priestess. They were on top of the waterfall.
He gripped Celine's waist and used the Void Walk to fly to the top. There, the terrain was much smoother. Forests grew on either side of the river. The water flowed slowly as well. Three hundred feet forward, the water started turning. Past that, there was another small waterfall of a few dozen feet high. There was a pool of water under it, surrounded by rocks.
Link saw their target on a flat boulder. A Dark Elf and Naga priestess were casting a spell.
A large number of runes hovered around them. The Dark Elf added in Dark power while the Naga used the God of Destruction's power. Both formed a misty belt that extended and mixed above the pool of water, creating a ball of dark red light.
Black liquid from the ball of light dripped into the river.
Link studied the rune matrix and felt for the density of the Dark power in the environment. He quickly concluded, "They've maintained this magic seal for half a day. That's enough time for the magic to seep into the entire underground water system of the city."
In other words, it was possible for all average citizens under Level-4 to be infected right now. This was the absolute majority of Gladstone City.
"Should we act?" Celine held her big fire gun, ready to blow their brains out at any time.
"Wait, I'm recording their magic runes… It'll need five minutes," Link whispered.
These guys were Level-7 and eight. Their lives weren't valuable; Celine could kill them with two bullets. The most important matter now was to find a way to decode this spell and save the citizens of Gladstone.
When a spell was operating, fine ripples would appear in the Mana. A powerful Magician could use these ripples to calculate the spell's theory in reverse.
And Link was that type of Magician!
He was now a Level-11 Magician while the opponents were only using a modified Level-3 Undead Ray. The only difficulty was that the God of Destruction's power was involved but other than that, it was an easy task.
The seconds ticked by. Around three minutes later, Link had an idea. He was clear about the specific way the Undead Ray and the God of Destruction's power were combined.
He realized that it was the God of Destruction's power that made the divine spells ineffective. It wasn't much, but it was heavy in nature, much heavier than the God of Light's power in most divine spells—reaching Level-8. The density of divine power in spells cast by Gladstone's highest bishop was only around Level-5. Even the Battle Priest of the Orida Fortress was only at Level-7. They couldn't get past the Undead spell's protective layer at all.
A bunch of foam could never destroy metal.
It was easy now. If Link raised the density of Light power and supplemented with some magic, he should be able to get rid of this plague.
Thinking of this, Link said to Celine, "Alright, get them."
Celine propped up the big fire gun and adjusted the scope. She aimed with practiced ease and pressed down hard on the magic runes. Poof, a bullet flew out.
A second later, the Naga priestess was hit. A fist-sized hole opened up in her head. She cried out and fell over, ending the plague spell immediately. Her death shocked the Dark Elf greatly. He froze instinctively and then jumped behind the boulder, getting ready to run.
He was honestly in panic and even forgot to activate a defensive spell… Of course, it wouldn't work even if he did.
When he was mid-air, Celine's bullet arrived, digging into his back. Boom. The powerful force threw the Dark Elf 15 feet away, his body snapping in half.
He was totally dead.
"Done!" Celine wiped the metal shards off the muzzle with a clean white cloth. Then she blew on it and put the gun away. "Now what?"
Link already had plans. "Go to the church in the city and find a priest. Only their divine spells can defeat the God of Destruction."
Gladstone's church had many priests. They weren't at high levels, but only they had the divine Light power. Their level didn't matter. Link could create a focus crystal to raise the density of the power.
"Then let's go."
"We'll fly back invisible."
They had to find clues when coming, so they'd been a bit slow. They didn't have that worry now. Link picked Celine up, cast the Traceless and Void Walk spell, and started flying to the church.
The church was between the garden and business zone. It wasn't too far, but it was nighttime. Link couldn't see far, so he didn't fly too quickly.
Around ten minutes later, they landed in the square before the church.
As soon as he landed, something felt off. Link sniffed and gripped his sword. "It smells like fresh blood. Someone has just been killed!"
Shocked, Celine grasped her guns.
Link continued forward, quickly getting to the white stone steps before the church. The bloody smell was heavier here with a chaotic aura mingled within. It was the Naga power.
Stunned, Link quietly unsheathed the Dragon King's Fury sword and continued walking. A few steps later, he found a corpse behind the pillar by the door. It was a young priest around 20 years old. There was a hole in his chest; the fresh blood stood in stark contrast to his white robe.
"It's the Nagas! I can sense the commander's aura. She was here!" Link narrowed his eyes, murderous intent rising within.
The church's door was pushed open to allow a person in. Walking through the crack, Link saw that corpses were strewn across the room.
Regular priests, Holy Knights, bishops, and even the servants had all been killed. No one was spared.
Link and Celine walked over. Every corpse had the same wound—a clear hole. The Nagas liked using spears. They definitely did this.
There weren't many signs of struggle, meaning the Nagas were powerful and the priests had no way of fighting back.
Going through the church, Link searched every room but found no survivors. Corpses were everywhere. The divine objects had all been destroyed too. Even the holy water of the repentance pool was polluted with dark magic.
"The commander guessed my plan and destroyed the source of the solution!"
Only a god's power could counter another god. This was the rule!
The Nagas had killed all light priests in the city. Even if Link found a way to cure the plague, he would have no way of doing so. He could only watch helplessly as the plague rampaged through the city.
With the physiques of the regular people, their bodies and souls would be destroyed by the plague. Even if he got rid of the disease, it was useless.
"Those Nagas are so cruel!" Celine's blood ran cold.
Link sank into deep thought. The priests here were gone, but there were still some at the Orida Fortress and neighboring cities. With Link's speed, he could transport them over.
So they must have just done this offhandedly to create trouble for Link…or even to lure him over.
Thinking of this, Link's heart twitched. If he'd guessed correctly, this place was already surrounded. It was easy to confirm this. They knew he was a Spatial Magician. To trap him, they would lock the surrounding space.
He activated his Dragon Power and cast the Spatial Detection spell to test the spatial frequency.
A red dot of light appeared and exploded like fireworks. One second later, Link confirmed his guess. The space here was completely locked. "We walked into a trap," he whispered to Celine.
As soon as he spoke, a seductive voice rang out. "Link, I've waited for more than an hour."
The black-haired Naga walked in from the entrance.
Link smiled, totally unmoved. "Great, I was looking for you too."


Link was the top Archmage in the entire server. He had just defeated the strongest boss, the Lord of The Deep, Nozama with his party. However, instead of going back to town, he was transported to a secret location with pixelated CG. 

It sort of felt like a vacuum, and within it came a glorious and commanding voice that calls himself the God of Light. 

"Link, would you be willing to be the saviour who will pull the World of Firuman out from the churning abyss?"

What a huge mission! If it was in the real world, Link would have rejected it immediately. However, he was bent on being the hero in game.

"Bring it on!" Link answered confidently.

"Then, best of luck." 

And so begin Link's journey of magic, friendship, betrayal, love and despair in the ever changing World of Firuman.

I'm not going to rant again about all that ish...so let's just get into cleansing oils for normal skin
NORMAL SKIN:
1. Burt's bees cleansing oil with coconut and argan oil, $11
2. Simple hydrating cleansing oil,$7
3. DHC DEEP CLEANSING OIL,$28
4. Skinfood black sugar perfect cleansing oil,$21

There are many diy's on the internet on how to make an oil cleanser according to skin types , but I recommend you don't do it as the oils used for preparation are concentrated and by using it there is a danger of forming cystic acne (trust me u really don't want that to happen) and experimenting with different oils may make your skin sensitive so don't do that...but if you really want to try then don't use oils that are comedogenic such as coconut oil, castor oil, olive oil etc.....(always patch test the product).....do some research on it and try to find out what works for you.

You don't need to double cleanse twice everyday.....just doing it at night is enough, if that doesn't work for you then you could just do it for every two/three days.

Reminders to keep in mind while using an oil cleanser:
1. Use the oil cleanser directly on dry skin ....don't wet the skin before using it
2. Massage the oil cleanser into the skin in circular motions towards the outer direction...don't be too hard on areas around your eyes.
3. Don't forget to use the product on your neck.
4. You could also try steaming your face after massage and rinse properly after it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 TYPES OF CLEANSERS
There are so many different kinds of cleansers with different benefits....so it's very easy for us to be confused about what kind to use on our skin. Knowing difference between cleansers can easily help you find the right cleanser for your skin without having to try too many products by falling for marketing strategies.

✓GEL CLEANSERS:

------->Oily/Combination skin
They don't add unnecessary dirt on your face and are very helpful in decongesting clogged pores.
It is heaven sent for oily skin.

✓CREAM CLENASERS:

------->Dry/Sensitive skin
They don't strip your skin of it's natural oils but gently cleanses your skin.

✓FOAM CLENASERS:
------->Extremely oily skin
Foam cleansers are extremely fun and all..... but I generally don't recommend using a foam cleanser as it can be quite harsh on your skin .....they can change your skins ph and cause sensitivity...I'm not completely against it but be extra careful when searching for foam cleansers.

✓MICELLAR CLEANSERS:
------->Dry/Sensitive skin
This kind attracts dirt particles from the skin and cleanses gently
You don't need to rinse with water again
Just saturate the Cotton pad with the cleanser and gently swipe them off.

✓BAR/CLAY CLENASERS:
------->Oily/Combination skin:
Clay cleansers purify your skin by drawing out dirt from the skin.
Use bar cleansers that have little to no amount of soap in them.
Make sure that both types are of skin friendly pH levels [4.8--6].

✓FACE WIPES:
I'd advise you to steer clear of using a facial wipe instead of a cleanser as they don't remove all the dirt from the skin and most of them contain alcohol in it which can cause a drying affect on the skin. So instead of replacing a wipe as a cleanser ....just use it only when necessary.

Waking up after her rhinoplasty procedure, Olivia winced. She felt a stabbing pain on her nose that radiated to her head, forcing her eyes closed.
"Take it easy," Maxen murmured. He cupped her elbow and put a little pressure on her hand as he peeled her off the bed.
"My face hurts," she complained, feeling the discomfort exponentially intensify with her every move. Seeing Maxen open a bottle of painkiller, Olivia grabbed his forearm. "No. I can still tolerate the pain. Those painkillers are addictive."
"How did you know?"
"I was sent to rehab because I got addicted before," she deadpanned. Her belly felt ticklish upon seeing Maxen's brows furrow, forming three creases on his forehead. She wanted to laugh but her nose was numb and painful at the same time so she just groaned. "Joke. That's a joke. I researched the medications that I'll be receiving, so please relax."
Maxen shook his head. "Just so you know, whatever comes out of that pretty mouth, I will believe it no matter what others say." Facing Olivia, he asked, "If you don't want a painkiller, then what do you want, Your Highness?"
Spreading her arms wide open, Olivia's eyes turned into a crescent moon, swooning over his proclamation. "You. You're my painkiller. Now give your wife a hug."
It didn't take a beat for Maxen to dive onto the bed, hugging Olivia until their stomachs growled from hunger.
Nighttime fell, painting the skies with scattered glittering stars. Up in Notios Estate where there was less pollution, the stars were more visible and the moon felt closer that they didn't need to leave a lamp on at night.
Waking up in the dead of the night, Olivia was suddenly on high alert.
One. Two. Three. Four. She heard the doorknob twist, paralyzing Olivia on the bed.
"Max," she whispered, nudging Maxen awake. "Maaaax," she tried one more time, successfully waking him up.
"Mmm."
"Someone's trying to open the door," Olivia croaked, a trickle of cold sweat broke out on her nape.
Maxen heightened his senses, but couldn't detect anything, so he grabbed his phone and opened the surveillance camera app that was installed in it, checking if anything registered on the tapes but saw none.
Beside him, Olivia bit the inside of her cheek upon seeing the same thing. She took Maxen's phone away from him, locking the screen. "Let's go back to sleep. I'm sorry I have to disturb you."
He saw apprehension pool in her eyes, and he knew her nightmares were back haunting her. Snuggling with her on the bed, he kissed the side of her head, and said, "I'll have someone stand guard outside at night tomorrow. Just in case."
He hoped that would at least give her the sense of assurance that she's safe and nobody would come and terrorize her at night. However, the same nightmare haunted Olivia every night after her rhinoplasty procedure. 
Six weeks had passed and her nose was supposedly healed as attested by the scans and examinations by different teams of doctors, yet somehow, she would wake up at night, drenched in sweat and her nose throbbing in pain.
One night, they were brushing their teeth when Maxen offered, "Do you want me to schedule a meeting with Dr. Aila Zhang? Maybe she has some answers for us."
Swiping his hand up and down the length of her arm, Maxen waited for Olivia's answer. Her nightmares were getting out of hand, and he wouldn't deny her of seeking professional help.
Relief flooded his face when Olivia nodded her head, planting a chaste kiss on his lips, leaving a trail of toothpaste foam on it.
After meeting with Dr. Aila Zhang, she forwarded them to a known therapist who specializes in hypnosis. Olivia almost didn't want to meet the doctor but Maxen dragged her to the clinic. Left with no choice, she found herself sitting comfortably inside, undergoing hypnotherapy once a week. 
Every week, she would meet the same doctor. She would sit on the chair for an hour, visualizing anything that she would see as soon as she closes her eyes. 
In the first week, Olivia saw herself laying down on the bed.
One. Two. Three. Four. Olivia started counting in her head as the monster behind her door twisted the knob four times in the dead of the night when everyone in her pad was in deep slumber.
One. Two. Three. Four. Olivia counted along as the monster tried one more time to force her door open. She closed her eyes and tried to calm her heart down from ramming against her chest.
She bit the duvet to keep herself from screaming. One. The monster stopped in the count of one, leaving her alone to stay up for the rest of the night.
In the second week of her therapy, she saw and felt the same thing.
One. Two. Three. Four. the monster behind her door twisted the knob four times in the dead of the night when everyone in Olivia's pad was in deep slumber.
Olivia counted along as the monster tried, again and again, to force her door open. She grabbed the crucifix on the bedside table, praying in her head to stop the repetitive sound.
One. Two. Olivia's lips curled upward, thankful that the monster finally left her alone, the fading footsteps in the hallway told her that the monster was gone.
In the third week of her therapy, to her surprise, she saw something different. It was as if she had uncovered a buried memory.
"Hello? Dad? It's me, Olivia. I just want… there's someone trying to open my door at night. No, I'm not making it up. It's true. Hello? Dad? Daddy?"
She placed the phone back on its holder, her eyes lingered there for a while. She picked it up again, dialing Oliver's number that she knew by heart. To her surprise, when the line came through, Ollie was magically standing by her bedroom door.
Running towards her brother, Olivia was jumping for joy upon seeing him in the flesh.
"Ollie! I missed you!" She gave Oliver a big hug.
"I���m here for a week with a friend, but I won't be staying in your place. Auntie Martha told me to drop by and check in on you."
"Oh." Olivia frowned. "Can you stay for one night? Just one?"
Her eyes pooled tears as it darted around, afraid that the monster was lurking behind. 
Her lack of sleep was evident on her face that Oliver pitied her, so he nodded his head. "Just one night, then that's it."
That night, Oliver stayed, sitting beside her bed as Olivia let the weight in her eyes close it shut. For the first time in a while, she let her exhaustion take over, watching her brother glow green, the color of his hoodie whilst her hands clung on his sleeve.
Deeper in the night, Ollie tried to pry his arm off from her clutches, but Olivia was hanging on for her dear life. Left with no choice, Oliver hissed, peeling the hoodie off of his body.
"Oof," he breathed out. He scratched the back of his head as he watched Olivia hug the hoodie, snuggling and sniffing it for comfort. Seeing a drool drop on the clothing, Oliver cringed and said, "Eew, don't drool on that. That hoodie's not mine."
When Olivia stirred on the bed, Oliver took a step back away, slowly and quietly with his hands raised to his chest. "I'll be back later, Livi. Sleep tight," he whispered, closing the door behind him.
One. Two. Three. Four. the monster behind her door twisted the knob four times in the dead of the night when everyone in Olivia's pad was in deep slumber.
One. Two. Three. Four. This time, the monster successfully unlocked the door, stealthily stalking towards the princess bed where Olivia was snuggling on her new security blanket.
"Ollie? Is that you?" Olivia roused upon hearing the floorboard creak. She flipped the lamplight on and was shocked when her bedroom door banged close. Bringing her knees up to her chest, she chanted a prayer until the sun rose, spilling its rays on the window and into the room.
She waited and waited, but Ollie never returned that night… or the days that followed. Finding solace in her brother's hoodie, Olivia wore it every night. It comforted her knowing that a piece of her brother was with her as she braved on for the night.
On Olivia's fourth session, the therapist felt positive that they were nearer in freeing Olivia from her fear, tapping deeper into her subconsciousness, yet nothing happened during their session.
Little did they know, it would be later that night when Olivia's nightmare, a fragment of her lost memory, would come back and haunt her.
One. Two. Three. Four. the monster behind her door twisted the knob four times in the dead of the night. She told her family about the recurring incident but nobody listened. Nobody cared. Nobody came to help her fight the monster.
"Ollie," she cried, frisking the sleeves of her loose green hoodie, praying that her brother would magically appear, yet she knew it couldn't happen. 
One. Two. Three. Four. Olivia could feel his shadow crawl near her bed that goosebumps scattered her body. She pretended to be asleep as the monster forced its way into her bedroom.
But unlike the other nights it haunted her, Olivia finally came in prepared. Clinging for her dear life onto her silver envelope knife, she lunged and attacked the monster who haunted her for weeks. 
Dropping the knife on the floor, Olivia felt a warm liquid soak her feet. And when the monster gasped for air and reached for her leg, she ran as fast as she could, slipping and rolling over the flight of stairs, hitting her nose on a sharp edge in the process.
"One. Two. Three. Four," Olivia counted, her eyes fluttered as she lost consciousness on the cold wooden floor.


“I’m not a ‘thing’ to be possessed.” Olivia pulled her weight with her elbows and stared at Maxen whose head was now wedged between her legs. 

“Absolutely,” he agreed, widening the high slit of her gown. “You’re a goddess, Olivia. And I will even worship the land that you would set foot on.” 

... 

Olivia Lin. Exiled heiress of the biggest corporation in the small island of Nisia. Nobody knew of her name. Heck, nobody knew of her existence. Henry Lin, her father, left her in the farthest place from the country as possible the moment she was born. 

Maxen Victor Eton Sui, a heartbreak dressed in a hot suit. What more if he's wearing a crown? 

Now when their paths collide, will sparks fly? 

...

Sha Zhixing felt very unbalanced.
She was a designer, why was she treated like a secretary every time she entered his office?
However, even though she felt unbalanced, she still stood up and helped him organize everything.
Luo Xichen had a lot of things to do, a lot of things that he had accumulated while he was away.
His identity in the company was too special, and Rong Xi's future successor had been decided on him a long time ago, so a lot of things had to wait for his decision.
After Sha Zhixing helped to tidy up, Luo xichen started flipping through a pile of documents.
After that, the room became quiet.
One of them was in charge of tidying up and the other was in charge of reviewing. When Sha Zhixing was tidying up, she would carefully mark the important documents with a pad of paper and pass it to him. This way, the efficiency would be much higher.
The atmosphere in the office was a little quiet.
Both of them had their own jobs and worked for about two hours. When Sha Zhixing went out to pour two cappuccinos and came in again, Luo Xichen's attention was diverted. He looked up from the documents and fell quietly on her face.
Luo Xichen did not like sweet things. Sha Zhixing had made the Cappuccinos on purpose. She wanted them to be closer to each other in the future. She had even made them sweet. There were two cute hearts on the white foam.
Luo Xichen's lips twitched when he saw the two cappuccinos, but he did not say anything.
"This one is for you. " Sha Zhixing pushed one of the cappuccinos to Luo Xichen and took a sip from it.
As she drank, the white foam stained her lips.
Sha Zhixing seemed to have noticed it herself and licked it playfully with the tip of her tongue.
Luo Xichen watched her quietly with a dark look in his eyes.
Sha Zhixing did not notice his gaze. She lifted her Chin and licked it a few times. She seemed to feel that it was not clean and wanted to raise the back of her hand to wipe it. Suddenly, an arm hooked around her neck, pulled down her face and then.. Luo Xichen's exquisitely carved handsome face leaned over
A cold touch came on her lips. Sha Zhixing was stunned and her body was a little stiff.
A deep kiss.
After the kiss, Luo xichen rubbed his lips with his fingers and said, "it's very sweet. "
"drink your own! " Sha Zhixing's face turned hot and she pushed his cup back to him.
Luo Xichen took a sip of the Cappuccino that she had brought over. He frowned slightly, but did not say anything.
"I added it on purpose. " Sha Zhixing smiled proudly.
The first step in the life of a husband and wife was to get closer to each other!
Luo Xichen's expression changed slightly after she spoke. He pulled her neck with his long arm and his lips moved closer to hers again
This time, he kissed her very hard and even bit her lips hard.
"Luo Xichen, what are you doing? ! " Sha Zhixing was confused by his words and her lips hurt even more.
Luo Xichen ignored her words and did not stop or let go of her.
Outside the house, he simu walked in with a pile of documents in her arms. When she reached the door, the secretary suddenly stopped her.
The secretary did not know what the two people in the room were doing. He did not want to disturb Luo xichen's "business" , so he said politely, "Miss He, Young Master Luo is busy right now. Leave this to me! "

On the first day back to China, he saw her in the corner of the wall. He smiled and said, "Zhixing, if you pay so much attention to me, people will suspect that you have designs on me. " "It's not like we haven't lived together before. " He smiled wickedly and seductively as he moved into her house openly. "choose yourself or let me help you. " A marriage contract was placed in front of her. He looked calm and composed. She was furious. "Luo Xichen, what do you want... " "You! " Her unfinished words were interrupted by a single word. WHO said that it was not easy to kill someone who was too familiar It was precisely because he was so familiar with her that he wanted to possess her for the rest of his life... ...

Another ten seconds of silence followed, Ji Zhiyao's expression was warped as he exclaimed, "What the f*ck, it's hanging right at this time! Bastard!"
"Cut! No cursing, otherwise it cannot be aired, let's try again!"
Several takes later, Ji Zhiyao felt that he was gradually losing control over his expression and finally succeeded in saying his line with the suitable emotions. "What a crappy item, it's actually stuck at this point in time!"
"That will do, that will do, the others continue."
Nuo: "Ah! Goddamn mine is stuck too!"
K: "Ah dear me oh my god mine too!"
Heng: "Oh dear, why is mine stuck too?"
Xiaofei: "Ohmygod I'm stuck too!"
The corner of Mo Huaifeng's lips twitched, and he grudgingly read out his line. "So annoying, mine too, let's try swapping to another brand of keyboards!"
"Yes, that's the feeling! Very good!
"That take was not bad, but we have not rolled the cameras, let's do one more take!" 
When the filming ended, it was already five hours later. Yuan Wei also happened to walk out from where he had been with the advertisers, when he saw their dreadfully pale makeup after enduring the studio, he took a step back in both surprise and bewilderedness, "What the hell! He did not tell me that they had to act as ghosts…" 
Yet Yuan Wei's voice had already died off before he even finished talking, because he realized that his beloved members, including Xiaofei who had the best temper, were all glaring at him with a look that showed their itch to chop him into pieces. 
"Excuse me? What have I done wrong?"
Ji Zhiyao bit out viciously, "Yuan Wei you bastard!" 
The others followed unanimously, "Yes!"
Yuan Wei still did not understand why he had went from the kind and adorable manager to the bastard that everyone in the team wanted to beat up, when he saw the assistant from the advertiser walk over. "Mr Yuan, we are done with filming, we will send the final payment to your end as soon as possible. When the actual advertisement is completed, we will also send it over at the first moment."
Yuan Wei nodded. "Alright, then we will be leaving now."
"Yes, good bye and take care." 
Before Yuan Wei turned back, his thoughts were still about how the bunch of rascals had yet to remove their makeup, he did not know what to do. He intended to ask for their opinions, yet once he turned back… "All of you.."
There wasn't a single person behind him.
Yuan Wei quickly walked outside, taking three steps in two, and found that their van stopped outside the studio had already gone so far that he could only see it as a tiny little dot. 
He was dumbfounded. 
They all ran?
Then what about him?
…
In the van, Ji Zhiyao glanced back through the windows and indeed did not see Yuan Wei. He touched his jaw with his fingers and looked towards Mo Huaifeng, commenting with heartfelt worry, "Us leaving Yuan Wei behind like this, it's not right."
His Captain amiably gave him a smile. "How do you intend on removing your makeup?" 
Ji Zhiyao's anger meter was instantly maxed. "Damn it, let's not bother with him! It's quite a good thing that we left him behind!"
Then he gloomily rubbed an inch of the makeup on his face, seeing his fingertips become a pale white, he immediately groaned in despair. "What should we do, can this be removed using cleansing foam?"
Heng joined in, equally depressed. "It's terrible, yet what's even more despairing is that I don't even f*cking have cleansing foam." 
Ji Zhiyao chimed in happily, "I do!"
"Alright!"
Mo Huaifeng frowned slightly, evidently uncomfortable because of the makeup on his face. He said, "When we drive pass a makeup store later, we'll go get a bottle of makeup remover."
Nuo agreed. "That's a good idea. Then here comes the question, my brilliant and resourceful Captain, which one of your teammates are you planning to select to go buy the makeup remover?" 
Mo Huaifeng went blank for a moment, then drew out his phone, calmly saying, "I'll send Yuan Wei a text."
Ji Zhiyao chuckled. "Yuan Wei is really pitiful!"
Even after being abandoned by the battleteam, he still had to take the Captain's order and obediently go get the makeup remover, being a battleteam manager was truly a tough job.
A minute later, Mo Huaifeng received a voice message from Yuan Wei, he tapped it and the entire vehicle was instantly filled with Yuan Wei's gloating voice. "Sure Captain, wait for me to bring it back. But there's another advertisement to be filmed tomorrow, remember to prepare yourselves beforehand! Xoxo!"
Ji Zhiyao gritted his teeth.
That's right, Yuan Wei was a mutt undeserving of sympathy!
Half an hour later, all of Mix's members arrived at the base, everyone collapsed on the sofa in the living room. Ji Zhiyao sprawled out for a while after ordering some takeaway, then struggled to get up and go to the bathroom to look at his own face, then a thought came into his mind and he suddenly got the chills.
He rushed out of the bathroom and swiftly returned to the living room, announcing, "I suddenly have an ill premonition."
Mo Huaifeng very kindly gave him a glance, Ji Zhiyao felt encouraged and continued to speak. "Would the bluetooth speakers for tomorrow be the same, 'oh dear my speakers are spoiled they can't be used anymore', 'ahhh what a coincidence mine too'?"
The others stared at him.
Mo Huaifeng lifted the corner of his lips, his expression very sarcastic. "You have great ideas."
"Not really. Captain could you get Brother Xiao to come back today? I'll pay for his air ticket. After all he's the starter, the idiot who keeps buying the wrong equipment should not always be me." 
Mo Huaifeng was speechless. "I'll ask him for you?"
Ji Zhiyao nodded with hope. "Sure sure sure!" 
Hence Mo Huaifeng brought out his phone and lazily texted Xiao.
Xiao was at home being a phyzait this whole time and replied very quickly, also with a voice message.
Mo Huaifeng curled his finger, Ji Zhiyao obediently ran over, placing his ear by the speaker-
"No thanks! I've heard about it all from Yuan Wei, do you guys think you would be able to bribe me with an air ticket? Wishful thinking!"
"Goodness gracious, my ear hurts."
His face was twisted in discomfort as he patted his left ear, only feeling that his ears were ringing from Xiao's roaring laughter.
Mo Huaifeng saw that he was uncomfortable and was hitting his own ear rather forcefully, hence he sat up and held down Ji Zhiyao's restless hand, while helping to pat his ear very lightly. He then asked, "Feeling better?"
"Much better, Captain you're really a clever little child." 
The remaining four people looked up towards the ceiling, pretending that they did not hear anything at all. 
They hung around for almost another hour before the front door of the base was pushed open from the outside. Yuan Wei carried a plastic bag, panting as he walked into the living room and stood with arms akimbo. "Seriously, if you guys do this to me again, I'm really going to resign." 
Nuo was the closest to him, while he wasn't paying attention, he deftly snatched the bag in his hands, opening it for a look, he found that it was indeed two bottles of makeup remover. 
Nuo first grinned, then his expression suddenly became a little complicated, he turned towards Yuan Wei. "I've seen something that the makeup artists have, it's called a cleansing cotton pad."
"What?"
"Simply speaking, it means that this makeup remover cannot be used to wash faces, instead we should wipe our faces with it."
Yuan Wei was confused, evidently for the straight-thinking man that he was, there was no difference between washing and wiping.
Ji Zhiyao also remembered the cleansing pad thing, but to him, between "casually removing his makeup" and "keeping a large pale face", he still preferred the former. He stood up and grabbed a bottle of remover. "It's fine, don't we have tissues, we can just make do with it. I can't stand it anymore, everyone, I will go ahead first." 
When everyone was done cleaning themselves, their takeaway had also arrived. They surrounded the table and shared fried chicken and burgers.
Yuan Wei said between mouthfuls of food. "Treasure the times you guys have here, eating, chatting and bantering together, when we arrive in Korea next Monday, we won't have such leisure days anymore." 
Ji Zhiyao took a bite and asked inarticulately, "Korea? Is the first stop of our training Korea?" 
"Yes. Korea's eSports industry is the most developed, we will be spending a long time training there too, about three months. Followed by Japan and North America, a month each. This also means, we can only return home five months later."
K still shuddered at the thought of it. "That's really terrible. We won't be able to eat authentic Chinese food for five months, what the use of living?" 
"That's still secondary." Ji Zhiyao roughly calculated the months, then asked, "Then can we make a trip back midway through? Probably at the beginning of June."
"You do get breaks during training, if you save all your breaks and use it to come back, it's possible. But the duration is too short, it would especially inconvenient to make a trip back. Why do you want to come back?" 
"My sister is taking her high school national exams, I need to watch over her." 
Everyone was suddenly enlightened, Nuo made the "tsk" sound twice. "NoHomo, you're hopeless, the extent of your sis-con is so serious." 
Ji Zhiyao gave him an eye roll. "What has that got to do with sis-con, if I'm not around, there's no one to take care of my sister."
Nuo was confused. "But your fam…"
"Stop talking, eat up." Mo Huaifeng spoke up and interrupted. "Training after eating, look at how lazy each one of you have become."
Nuo quickly shut his mouth, at once, there was only the sound of eating left in the room. 
When they finished, they entered the training room one after another. Ji Zhiyao only had eyes for colored blocks and ended up practicing alone for half an hour, when he saw the results of 41 seconds on the screen at the end of it, the corners of his lips lifted in satisfaction. 
Through the practice of the past few days, not only has his hand speed returned, it had become slightly faster. If he continued to practice like this, he might be able to surpass Mo Huaifeng one day. 
Ji Zhiyao recalled that it had been some time since he last heard Mo Huaifeng mention his results and hence shifted to poke his arm. Mo Huaifeng was in a match, after being bumped several times, he directly pulled of his earphones and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Captain, let me take a look at your computer."
Mo Huaifeng instinctively glanced at the ongoing match, then glanced at Ji Zhiyao and decisively let go of his idiotic teammates who were relying on him for a carry, shifting aside to give him space. "Go ahead." 
Hence Ji Zhiyao minimized the Heroes interface, then launched the program on Mo Huaifeng's laptop and found the column stating "high scores".
52 seconds.
Mo Huaifeng understood what he was trying to do and gave him a close lipped smile. "You didn't even train much for the entire break and still want to compare to me?"
Ji Zhiyao realized that he made sense too. The building up of hand speed and judgment had to be taken slowly, not to be rushed. Hence he nodded, while making a promise to himself. "Wait for it Captain, when the day comes that my results are better than yours, I will be able to take off and carry you to a win." 
Mo Huaifeng smiled. "Sure."
Ji Zhiyao met his Captain's eyes for a while then heard a howl that sounded like a pig being slaughtered from his side. K: "What the f*ck, f*ck Captain, I thought you disconnected! Turns out you were talking to NoHomo? Ahhhhh, my ranked match Captain you bastard!" 
All at once, the others in the training room all stared at K with an extremely surprised look. 
Ji Zhiyao: "The elderly top-laner who can only perform in favorable matches, cannot live without the jungler is actually dissing my Captain?"
K:" I was wrong! Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue!"
Ji Zhiyao: "I think you wouldn't dare to too. Isn't it good to keep quiet and sponge off him?" 
K was utterly speechless and hugged his chubby self with a pained heart.
Nuo: "Do you see that? I'm asking if everyone saw that? This is the classic bums before chums, such a person would end up being mocked by the public in the future!" 
Heng: "I'm on NoHomo's side this time, after all our Captain is the universally acknowledged most handsome in the eSports scene, which gay man wouldn't want him?"
Ji Zhiyao rolled his sleeves and stood up. "You are asking for a beating!"
The training room instantly turned into chaos.
…
A week later, Monday morning.
A group of ten people in Mix's team uniform entered the VIP lounge of the airport.
As their dressing were very unified and there were many of them, all the attention was on them once they stepped in, not to mention that there were already people who recognized them and were secretly taking photos on their phone… They found seats and settled down, Ji Zhiyao suddenly sighed with emotion. "Why do I feel that this scene is so familiar? Brother, Yuan, Wei?" 
"Shut the hell up, don't think I won't dare to beat you up just because we're in public!"
Ji Zhiyao pouted. "This service attitude sucks, you bought coffee for me back even when I was just a tag-along, why are you ignoring me now?"
"Would the treatment for one who's been deceived to join the team and one who's yet to be the same? Are you a fool?" 
"… You win."
He turned back towards Mo Huaifeng, preparing to secretly be a little tattletale, yet once he turned he saw that Mo Huaifeng's lids were drooping as if he had fallen asleep, he quickly shut his mouth… Between venting his anger and his life, of course his life was more important. 
After all Captain's morning temper was not something that the average joe could handle.
Yuan Wei went to retrieve their boarding passes, Ji Zhiyao sat in his seat, watching his other teammates who were out cold, he was bored to death. Hence he looked outside at the drinks store and stealthily walked out. 
The queue at the store was quite long, Ji Zhiyao walked over and joined it, pulling his phone out to entertain himself at the same time. He read several news articles and was scrolling, when he heard someone call him. "This physique… Are you Yao-god?"
Successfully ganked by fans once again, Ji Zhiyao was already used to it.
He pulled his mask down as he looked back and found that it was a teenager slightly younger than himself, his eyes were bright. "Hello Yao-god, I am your fan! I became a fan after the match between Mix and Miao Pai battleteam, you were really cool, making use of the big dragon to attack your opponents."
Ji Zhiyao exclaimed to himself at heart, he did not expect that this fan even remembered a training tournament so clearly. Hence he smiled even more kindly. "Thank you for your love."


The handsome, skilled newbie livestreamer, Ji Zhiyao, has a dream. 

"One day, I want to become the most famous crosstalk actor amongst the livestreamers."

Later on, this dream is forgotten by him and secretly becomes another.

"I want to overthrow Fi-god! I want to become Mix's new team dictator!"

The rich and aloof idol of the eSports scene, Mo Huaifeng, also has a dream. 

"Two years later, Mix will definitely make it into the International League."

Soon after, subtle changes happens to this dream.

"I want to make it into the International League with Ji Zhiyao and after winning, I will f**k him on livestream."

Livestreamer to eSports pro, Captain to boyfriend, will their dreams come true?

Sixth sol after the space station's incident.
There were another five sols before Tianzhou 37 arrived.
Before dawn, Tomcat and Tang Yue got up to continue the preparatory work for Tianzhou 37's landing. It was during this moment when the space station established communications with Kunlun Station. Mai Dong informed them that the Hub CBM module had vanished.
"The Hub's gone?"
"It's gone." Mai Dong leaned against the window as she looked out. The spherical module which was connected to the core module had already vanished.
"The docking mechanism broke off." Tomcat was very calm. It took out two steel rods from below the table and tapped on them likely. "It was weak to begin with. For it to have lasted this long shows how resilient it was. It's not a surprise for it to break down."
After the collision accident, the Hub and Crystal modules were the only two modules left. However, no one knew how secure their connection was. For safety reasons, Tomcat had shut down and sealed shut the hatch between them, disallowing Mai Dong from entering the Hub.
Tomcat originally wanted to sever the connection and release the Hub, but the docking mechanism was already out of order and not under its control. After repeatedly trying, it could only give up.
It was last night when the docking mechanism between the Crystal and Hub had finally broken down. When everyone was sleeping, the Hub had left the United Space Station, leaving Mai Dong to find the Crystal module the only remaining module of the United Space Station when she woke up. As for the Hub CBM module, it could very well have fallen into the atmosphere by now.
"Is it serious?" Tang Yue sat on the chair, removed his earpiece, and asked Tomcat.
"It's normal." Tomcat seemed indifferent as it wore a deadpan expression. It struck the ground with the steel rods. "It was only a matter of time before the Hub fell off."
"Lass, how's the space station's attitude? Was it affected?" Tang Yue asked.
"I can't tell," Mai Dong replied. "The Crystal is spinning constantly. The difference in angular velocity doesn't seem great."
"What about the altitude?" Tang Yue asked again. "Can you do a rough measurement of your current altitude?"
Mai Dong raised the pencil, closed one eye, and found a reference object on the Martian surface. She had already learned the method to estimate distance. If this were two centuries ago, she would definitely make a good artillery soldier on the battlefield.
"Uh…" The girl muttered over the comms.
"How is it?" Tang Yue grasped the earpiece tightly.
"Uh…"
"How is it? What's your present altitude? Has it dropped below a hundred kilometers?"
"Uh…"
"Lass?"
"Hey, stop rushing me, Tang Yue. Don't mess up my thought process. Shut up. Shut up."
Tang Yue obediently shut his mouth.
Half a minute later, the results were out.
"Tang Yue, my present altitude is… Hmm, about 112 kilometers."
"112 kilometers! The United Space Station's present altitude is 112 kilometers! Tomcat!" Tang Yue immediately removed the earpiece when he heard the result and shouted at Tomcat. "Is this altitude safe enough? Can it last to Tianzhou's arrival?"
The crouching Tomcat had its back facing Tang Yue as it connected the steel rods. Without turning its head, it raised its dewclaw. 
Tang Yue wore his earpiece. "Lass, Tomcat says you are very safe."
"An altitude above 100 kilometers is safe. At this altitude, the atmospheric density is not enough to greatly decelerate the United Space Station. The space station can maintain a rather stable state. At 80 kilometers, that will be a warning zone as that's the middle of the Martian atmosphere. Once it drops to that altitude, the atmospheric resistance will rise sharply, rapidly siphoning away the space station's energy. 60 kilometers is the crashing altitude. This is already the entrance to the troposphere. Once it reaches this altitude, it crosses the chasm of no return," Tomcat muttered behind Tang Yue, "112 kilometers. There's nothing much to be worried about… Nothing much to be afraid about…"
It got up, held the two steel rods vertically in front of it and measured it with its paws to ensure that they were the same height. Tomcat was 1.5 meters tall, and the two steel rods were nearly its height.
"What are you doing?"
"Making a crutch," Tomcat replied.
"Why?" Tang Yue was confused.
Tomcat leaned the two steel rods against the wall and turned to rummage through the junk pile to find some foam and cardboard. "We aren't aware of Miss Mai Dong's present physical condition. Preparing a crutch for her is just a precaution. It will allow her to move about when she comes down. After all, it takes time to recover… You can't be carrying her around, right?"
"As long as she's willing…" Tang Yue said, "I don't mind."
"Oh, that's some improvement. So you aren't some desert wolf anymore?" Tomcat grinned as its eyes turned into a slit. "We agreed to be single all our lives. Yet, you secretly got your marriage registered. Find a mirror and look at your silly grin."
Tang Yue picked up a mirror on the table and touched his cheeks, feeling baffled. "I'm not smiling."
"The smile in your eyes is almost overflowing." Tomcat began twisting lasciviously in front of him again. "You are now like a feral cat on heat. You can't sit still and it's written all over your face, 'Ah, I'm finally not single,' 'Ah, this is bliss.' Indeed, compared to women, human civilization and its thousands of years of history is nothing, right? Don't think I'm not aware of you secretly sniggering away in bed."
Tang Yue was taken aback as he looked into the mirror.
"Is it that obvious? Besides, I slept the moment I hit the pillow last night… You heard me snoring, right?"
"Humans are indeed crass," Tomcat said.
"Humans were crass to begin with."
"I'm not against being crass. To be honest, on this godforsaken planet, the joy of being with you and Miss Mai Dong is infinitely more important than human civilization and its thousands of years of history. There is nothing in this world that is more important than your own lives. Seeking happiness is never something crass." Tomcat grabbed some foam from a drawer. "If the two of you can have a perfect ending, then human civilization will have a perfect ending.
"If it weren't the prevailing conditions that prevent you from doing so, I would be happy to see you and Miss Mai Dong have a litter of kids. I'd help you raise them, giving them a complete education and care, nurturing them into mathematicians, physicists, chemists, biologists, historians, writers, artists… When those kids grew up, they could continue having kids," Tomcat continued. "When the two of you complete a blissful and full life, I'd bury the two of you in the empty plot of land in front of Kunlun Station and raise a tombstone and continue bringing up the kids of the kids of the kids until I break down from age."
"Hey, hey, that is incestuous," Tang Yue reminded it that its ideas were contrary to human relations. Just the tone and way Tomcat described it sounded more like it was rearing pigs instead of children.
Tomcat ignored him as it carried a pile of foam and stood there looking out the window, its gaze distant.
"That's my ideal life as a cat."
