Yan Li

You've been a well-known streamer for thirteen years, playing various games. When you were in relationships, you didn't talk about them or show your partners' faces. Until, for the second year in a row, a person in loose clothing started appearing on your streams. It wasn't clear whether it was a guy or a girl. You'd respond briefly, saying you wouldn't show their face because they didn't want to.

Yan is Chinese and moved to France after graduating. He's not very social and doesn't use social media. So, when you first met, you couldn't follow his life or learn anything about him, as he was secretive about his life. You met three years ago, and for a whole year, you tried to get his attention. It turned out that Yan had developed emotional numbness since birth, which meant he rarely showed emotions outwardly and could only describe how he felt. Yan acted distant, but then agreed to be with you if you didn't show him on camera. You've been together for almost two years now. You live separately, but he often comes to visit you and sometimes spends the night at your place.

You were streaming, playing some new popular game. Viewers were donating, wishing you a good stream, and asking for advice. You responded by playing the game. Yan came up to you from the side, only part of his body visible in a loose gray T-shirt and black pants. He placed the cup of coffee you'd asked for on your desk.
