Call Me Dean

Bonus ko-fi chapter

He propped one hand on the table and straightened himself. The distance between him and Shen Mian was so small that he could hear him breathing and if he looked down slightly, he would be able to see Shen Mian’s face at a close distance.

Shen Mian’s face was actually very elegant and beautiful, the delicate look favoured by the dragons, but the sharpness of his brow arch broke through his elegance like an ice ridge. Shen Mian felt He Xing’s gaze and looked up slightly. His eyes were deep brown, nearly black and his gaze almost seemed to have substantial weight.

Why is he so good looking?
He Xing was stunned and distracted.

Shen Mian has been a normal man for more than 20 years and after coming to the interstellar age, he couldn’t remember most of the time that he was still an omega. When he noticed He Xing’s fixed gaze, he thought he scared him when he dropped the textbook.

At that? After your intellectual disability improved, your body doesn’t become smaller but your courage does?
Shen Mian stayed in place. So here’s the problem – He Xing already took the initiative to ying, so would it be bad if he still beat him?

[Red with Green: I can’t, I want to laugh. Our Xing Fei is so smart, even if it’s a fight! Gian leading his little sister is so cute. Dean, beat him hahahahaha]

[Crown Prince’s Medal: Suddenly I remembered that my other male god is also surnamed He hahahaha, but he’s not the same type as the Dean’s friend. The type of alpha like Mr He is also very cute.]

[Starlight: The Medal in front, don’t go! Is that your ID? He is also one of my male gods! He used to be my only one, but now he’s just one of them.]

[Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs: Baby Gian and baby Xing Fei have a great sibling relationship and they’re very synchronised. The little steps they just took were so cute.]

He Xing remained silent, but Shen Mian slowly realised that something was wrong.
After a few seconds of silence, Shen Mian lifted his leg and kicked He Xing’s stool, but this time the force was a lot lighter than before, “What are you looking at?”

He Xing was stunned at first, then his brain that shut down began to function and swallowed the words “You look good” down.
Hang on, it’s okay to be sober for a little while, but that’s just looking for a fight.
Talking nonsense in front of the “beautiful” Dean Shen is just looking for death. The difference between the two is quite big.

Gian was a little confused, “Why does uncle seem like he’s become stupid?”

Xing Fei lifted the book in her hands and covered the lower half of her face, smiling so hard that her eyes slightly curved, “Probably gone stupid from looking for too long.”

Gian nodded, “He must’ve been scared by the dean.”

Xing Fei, “…”

The little girl stopped talking: That’s not it brother Gian. Look at the way Uncle looks at the dean, look closely, that’s not a frightened look.

[Fake Cutie Pie: I always feel like our little girl Xing Fei knows so much.]

[Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs: I really like Xing Fei. She’s really too pretty and gentle.]

Shen Mian looked at He Xing suspiciously – this marshal that has been on the battlefield, would kicking a stool would really scare him?

He Xing suddenly clutched his chest, “Scared the hell out of me.”
The movements were exaggerated, the expression was fake and you could tell at a glance that he was pretending.

Shen Mian, “…”
Who are you kidding? He picked up the textbook again and rolled the thick textbook with full coloured pages and printed illustrations.

“What’s wrong with you?”

[Xue Lulu: I feel like that book will really hurt if someone gets hit with it.]

[Does your throat hurt today?: You don’t have to feel it, that book hurts even when a dragon is hit. The full coloured and illustrated book is heavy and hard, one hit will send you off to see stars.]

[Seveth Legion Super God: Who hasn’t been beaten with a book by a grumpy dad as a kid?]

[Dewy Moon: It doesn’t matter if you’re an adult dragon. My older brother was tutoring me in my major and he hit me over the head with a roll.]

Lu Yuan put down his paws, took out a handful of candy from his pocket and gave it to Gian and Xing Fei. He bit into the candy and vaguely said, “Uncle, you’re acting too fake, gotta be like me.”

Lu Yuan clutched his chest and suddenly fell back, gasping for air, “Ah – scared me to death, I feel like my heart is going to stop beating, hurry, get me an ambulance.”

 The little black and white fatty gave a long ah sound, his limbs went limp and his eyes closed, “I fainted.”

Gian, “…”

The little gem dragon turned around and told his little sister very seriously, “If you see this kind of dragon, don’t call an ambulance, but just call the police. He’s just trying to cheat you out of money.”

[A piece of blue: Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha I’m going to die laughing here today!]

[Xue Lulu: Dean looks so tired, but can’t be mad at the cub.]

[Only Vanilla Flavoured: Dean: What a bunch of cubs I’ve raised.]

……

After Peaceful Water Star and the childcare teacher’s unified exam became a hot topic, Shen Mian’s Cat Eye Live account had more than 50 million followers and was one of the big anchors on Cat Eye’s new channel. Although Shen Mian had gotten more popular, his live broadcast was still the same as before. It’s just that there are now more viewers in the live room, so in order to maintain harmony in the live room, Shen Mian hired a few artificial room managers. Each live broadcast was recorded by the room manager and uploaded to his account, making it easy for fans who didn’t make it in time to catch up.

Because of the rapid rise in fans, some video creators specially analysed Shen Mian’s fast-rising videos. Some videos are objective and fair, while others are purely speculative and some even malicious. Shen Mian always treated them as being invisible and never went to see the messages under the videos.

After this was reluctantly accepted, videos that have been tagged with Shen Mian gradually increased. In addition to the videos that rubbed the heat, there was also a video edited by a true fan with material from the screen recording.

Shen Mian didn’t know at first until there was a live broadcast called “He Xing’s daily death”. Shen Mian just frowned and the barrage began to roll across:

[A small fence: What’s wrong with you?]

[Balding: What’s wrong with you?]

[I like you so much: Did you guys watch that video too hahaha, I’m getting brainwashed, someone help me.]

[Seveth Legion Super God: Dean: What’s wrong with you?]

Neatly in one piece, Shen Mian paused for a moment, finding the phrase familiar.

Shen Mian, “…”
It felt weird to say it again after it’s been taken up by the barrage.

Shen Mian glanced at He Xing, silently turned and walked away.

He Xing looked down at the passing by Yan Tan, picked up the little black dragon cub and held him in his arms.

“What do you think is wrong with the dean today?”

Yan Tan had secreted more toxins in the past two days and his throat was uncomfortable. His mouth was stuffed full of dragon grass and he couldn’t even speak when held by He Xing.

He Xing thought about it.

“The dean’s temper is pretty good today.”

Yan Tan, “Uh uh uh!”

He Xing forcibly carried away the little dragon cub.

“Let’s go, let’s go find the dean.”

[Death Rays: Wake up, you! The dean actually wanted to scold you!]

[Machine Zero: Hahahahaha, the dean didn’t scold you because he was occupied by your lines. Don’t go out looking for a beating, Mr He!]

[New Blue: How are you guys so in tune?]

[Lao Tzu is the cutest in the interstellar: It’s not that we’re in tune. Search in the video section for “Dean is also very cute today”, it’s a video edit of the dean, go check it out.]

There was a lot of barrage mentioning the video and Shen Mian made a note of the title of it and searched for “Dean is also cute today” in the video section after the broadcast ended. A three-minute video immediately popped up underneath, with his tag at the bottom, and entered the playback interface. The video was uploaded two days ago and had been played over three million times.

Shen Mian clicked into the video.

The music in the background was light and playful and it had some viewing tips, the flowery text indicated that they were a fan of Shen Mian and that this video was a clip of Shen Mian, so please leave if you don’t like it.

Ten seconds later, the screen went black and the video started.

The clips were mostly from Shen Mian’s live recordings, as well as videos from Peaceful Water Star and Thirty Minute Water, which were scenes put together of Shen Mian disliking humans and dragons, most of which were him scolding He Xing.

The latter part of the video edit was accompanied by the striking letters-
“What’s wrong with you?”

“What are you doing?”

“How come you can’t chirp?”

“The quality is awful.”

“Call me Dean.”

“About one hundred or so.”

The edit included carrying a dragon with one arm, dislike of the black powder in the live room and more.

……

Shen Mian looked at the title of the video. It did say “cute” instead of grumpy.

The barrage made Shen Mian even more confused-
Shen Mian in the video was obviously hating people, the barrage actually covered the screen in “so cute”. There was also “Going back to the beginning to watch again” and “Help I can’t get out”.

Shen Mian, “?”

Shen Mian had never felt so uncomfortable for more than two minutes and waited until the music in the background came to an end. Shen Mian thought the video had finally ended when the screen suddenly went black and pink flowery words appeared on the screen: “But he’s really cute. I have so many reasons to like him.”

The background music faded to a tune that became more and more gentle.

[Note to the prone to crying in front! Get the tissues!]

[Wu wu wu, my dean, I really like you, I also want you to prepare a fairytale for me.]

[He deserves love.]

To the sound of low and gentle music, the video showed Shen Mian putting his hand on the gemstone dragon cub and asked for a fairy tale for the dragon cub.

The image changed again and the young dean, with holographic glasses on, had a cold gaze, “What’s your definition of a mother?”

[I like him so much, this is a live broadcast of me planting myself in the Dean pit!]

[Confession to the dean! It must be such a blessing to grow up being spoiled by the dean!]

[I’ve always envied Dean’s cubs, I wish I had such a gentle Dean back then. The dean and dragon cubs must be well. When I see them well, I feel very happy.]

[A dean like this will definitely teach great kids.]

[So that’s why Gian and the others are so good. He doesn’t suppress Lu Yuan’s mischievousness, doesn’t neglect Gian and Xing Fei because they are sensible and praises Yan Tan, who likes painting more than school.]

At the end of the video, the creator of the video edit wrote in fancy letters: This is my favourite anchor, not because of how beautiful he is, not because he is good at cursing at others, but because he has the temperament I aspire to have. I long to grow into an adult like him, quiet but powerful, aloof but gentle at heart.

I love you so much and envy the cubs so much. Seeing you and the cubs all safe and sound makes me feel like there is so much beauty in the world. I wish my Mian Mian that is out of my reach to have many years of peace.

Shen Mian was silent for a moment and left a message under the video.

Shen Mian: Call me Dean.

Soon after he left the message, he received a reply from the video creator: It’s been seen by the Dean! Is this a prank?

Shen Mian: That’s not true, I just don’t think there’s any need to be envious, you can call me Dean just like the dragon cubs. After all, I can raise fans in the live room.
