Chapter 54: Jinjiang Novel Reading Exclusive Then I can’t possibly give it to you…

As expected, Shi Jing was named the best player of the game, and he was also arranged to be interviewed.

The host is a very funny girl and is very popular among the Apex hosts.

She had seen the SFD rookie's games and had also heard about the time he directly mocked Smurf and EVG coach on the microphone. She had thought that he would be arrogant and difficult to deal with. But when she actually sat in front of him, she found that the young man in front of her looked even more obedient than the makeup photos released by SFD.

Not only her appearance, but her personality also seems to be different from what is said online.

"You won the doubles championship today, which is also your first professional championship. Do you have anything to say to everyone?" the female host asked with a smile.

No response.

The female host had already thought of how to smooth things over if Shi Jing said, "What's so strange about winning a championship?" However, the young man sat on the small sofa opposite, his eyes empty, and he didn't move.

In one shot, the comment section in the live broadcast room of the event was filled with question marks.

After waiting for a few more seconds, the hostess cleared her throat with a professional smile: "Sweet?"

"?" Shi Jing finally came back to his senses. "What?"

"..." The female host smiled and repeated the question, "Do you have anything to say about winning the championship for the first time?"

Shi Jing's expression was a little tense.

"There's nothing I want to say." His voice sounded muffled, and he turned away his eyes after saying that.

The interview style was so different from what I expected that the female host was a little confused by him. It was almost awkward at the scene.

Fortunately, she glanced at the cue card in her hand and smoothed things over. "Nothing else you'd like to say? Okay, I'd also like to hear your experience playing the breakout position. And how did you get such good chemistry with Lu Shen Wild the first time you worked together? Are there any interesting things you'd like to share?"

Shi Jing's eyes suddenly raised.

"Huh?" Slightly surprised by his sudden reaction, the female host opened her eyes wide. "What's wrong?"

"..." Shi Jing was silent for a few seconds, "No."

The heat he felt when he stared into Lu Zhiye's eyes backstage hadn't subsided at all, and his mind, which had been calm during the competition, was now in a mess.

Lu Zhiye looked at him with dark eyes.

The scent of soap close up.

And that sentence...that disrupted all his plans.

But Shi Jing couldn't help thinking about it.

"I don't have any rapport with him." He squeezed out the second half of the sentence stiffly.

The female host was stunned.

"Dude, what? It's over? I'm still thinking about how to play the next game, and you tell me I won the championship?? Hahahaha!" On the way back in the car, Jiang Yuan almost laughed out loud while holding his phone, "Netizens are so talented."

After laughing, he wiped his tears and said, "But manager, the lines you gave Sweet were too perfunctory, weren't they? They didn't even have ten words in total. I can do this job next time. Just put the salary for writing the interview script into my account."

"It's true..." The fat manager flipped through his phone suspiciously, "But I don't remember Xiao Gao being so careless in his work. I'll give him a good scolding later."

"That's not the line you wrote."

The person in the back seat who hadn't spoken a word since getting in the car suddenly spoke.

The first two rows of seats fell silent for a moment, and the fat manager turned around and asked, "What?"

"I said it was an interview." Shi Jing's face darkened under the privacy glass window of the last row of cars. "I told it myself. I didn't follow the script you sent me."

"Oh..." Jiang Yuan scratched his head. "That's because I'm a little nervous. It's normal for first interviews. It's okay, Sweet. You don't have to read the comments online. The netizens are just playing with memes."

"It's just a joke to others, but my evaluation of you is very real." Song Jiahang folded his arms and made a sharp comment.

"Song Dazhuang! What do you mean?" Jiang Yuan reached out and scratched his hair.

The people in the front were playing and making noise, while the last row was so quiet that it looked like the people sitting there weren't just two people who had just won the championship.

The game lasted for such a long time and the return flight was scheduled for tomorrow morning. After returning to the hotel, the fat manager did not arrange any other activities for them and let them go back to have a good rest.

But going back...where can I go back to?

damn it.

You have to go back to the room you were supposed to go to.

The hotel corridor fell silent. Shi Jing was just thinking about whether he could just spend the night on a lounge chair in the middle courtyard, when the person behind him said—

"Feel sorry."

Shi Jing: “…”

Shi Jing didn't move.

Lu Zhiye: "I shouldn't say such things."

Shi Jing: “…”

The heat that had finally subsided and was about to paralyze me crept up my ears and cheeks again.

Shi Jing clenched his five fingers.

"I was so happy at that time, suddenly... I really wanted to kiss you." Lu Zhiye said.

Do you still have the nerve to say it again?

Shi Jing thought expressionlessly whether it would be faster to kill the opponent with fists or kicks.

Lu Zhiye: "If you don't like it, I won't say it again."

"I didn't..." Shi Jing started to speak, then paused.

Is he okay?

Don’t you like it?

Then wouldn't Lu Zhiye be able to kiss him?

After a few seconds of stalemate, Shi Jing swiped the room card and walked into the room without even looking back at him. He said in a dull voice, "I'm not unhappy. It was just a kiss. We're all adults. What's the big deal?"

The door clicked shut, and Lu Zhiye followed him in: "I thought you were disgusted by this."

Shi Jing: “…”

Disgusted?

He doesn't know.

He just knew that his fists really itched.

I really want to stuff it into Lu Zhiye's mouth.

The room was silent for two seconds. Before Shi Jing could dig out his clothes and hide in the bathroom to close the door, Lu Zhiye suddenly asked, "Have you kissed anyone before?"

"?" Shi Jing's lips relaxed for less than a second before tightening again.

He swallowed unconsciously, turned his head, and said unnaturally: "Of course I kissed you, what's wrong?"

Anyway, even if Lu Zhiye has great ability, it is impossible for him to find out such private information.

When he is away from home, his identity is given by himself, and he has the final say on whether he has kissed someone or how many times he has kissed them.

"Nothing, just wanted to ask." Even though her back was facing away, she seemed to be able to see Lu Zhiye's expression as he lowered his eyes. "Is it your first kiss?"

It was my first kiss.

He still has the memory of his first kiss.

It’s not that Shi Jing has no luck in love.

On the contrary, he has outstanding looks, and many people like him, whether during his student days or after he became a professional player.

But if I tell others, no one will probably believe it, Shi Jing has never been in love.

There was no special reason, he simply couldn't accept any other creature breaking social distance and getting close to him.

In the past, let alone someone saying things like "I like you" or "I want to kiss you" to his face, Shi Jing would probably sense that his territory was being violated and would tell the other person to get lost before they even took a few steps closer to him.

But no matter why, as a world champion, could he admit in front of Lu Zhiye that he still had his first kiss?

Shi Jing: “…Why are you asking this?”

"If it's your first kiss, you'll probably remember it for a long time." Lu Zhiye's tone was indifferent, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or unhappy.

"..." Shi Jing sensed something strange and awkward. He turned sideways and said coolly and nonchalantly, "I don't have much impression. It's just like that."

He saw Lu Zhiye looking at him.

Shi Jing: "Why? Are you still remembering the feeling of your first kiss?"

"No." Lu Zhiye said, "I've never kissed anyone."

Shi Jing was stunned.

Lu Zhiye has never been kissed?

He has the body, looks and expression to make a living if thrown into a team of male models. He is excellent in all aspects. Has he never kissed?

"Lu Zhiye." Shi Jing suddenly had a very strange thought, "You're not going to say... I'm your first love, are you?"

Lu Zhiye's ink-black eyes looked at him.

After a few seconds, he nodded calmly: "Yeah."

Shi Jing: “?”

His first reaction was disbelief.

But Lu Zhiye doesn't look like he is lying.

Why would he lie? There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. People like him are the target of even more scrutiny. If he has a new relationship, anyone can easily find out.

But that's a bit too incredible.

What about Lu Zhiye's adolescence? Did he never fall in love with any of his classmates during school? Did he suddenly become interested at the age of 20?

"Then I can't possibly give it to you." Shi Jing said this without any context, and at the very end he didn't forget to cover up his previous lie. "I gave my first kiss to someone else. Even if you didn't, it's your problem."

After he finished speaking, no one around him responded for a long time.

By the time Shi Jing realized the logical problem in his words, he turned around and saw Lu Zhiye smiling with his face turned away.

damn it.

damn it.

What is he talking about?

He was Lu Zhiye's first, second, third, or so many loves. What did it have to do with whether or not they'd kissed each other? What was their relationship? Why did he need something to replenish him?

Shi Jing almost crushed the cup on the small bar: "Lu Zhiye."

Lu Zhiye coughed lightly.

"Don't laugh." Shi Jing muffled his voice, as if gritting his teeth.

Lu Zhiye coughed again.

Shi Jing: “.”

Oh shit.

Shi Jing's ears turned red three times in a row that day: "Forget what I just said, you didn't hear anything."

Lu Zhiye didn't say anything.

"Did you hear that?"

"Yeah." Lu Zhiye smiled with great difficulty, "I heard it."

Shi Jing: “…”

"It doesn't matter." After thinking for a while, Lu Zhiye said.

"What?"

"I don't need you to make up for it."

Shi Jing: “…………”

The answer he got was the sound of the bathroom door closing so loud that it could crack the wall.

-

That night.

Shi Jing fell asleep quickly.

I had a dream.

At first, I was a little annoyed. Even when I won the game, I couldn't get rid of those disgusting past events of EVG.

But EVG did not appear in the dream.

He dreamed of Lu Zhiye.

The location is very strange. It is the middle school where I studied a long time ago. It is in a coastal city in the south.

As usual, he found a spot in a small Internet cafe on a street near the school, but this time even the environment of the Internet cafe was better, and there was a separate private room.

For some reason, not long after, Lu Zhiye walked in.

He took off his headphones.

Without saying a word, when he looked up, she leaned over, held his head in her hands, pressed it between the chair and the computer desk, and kissed him.

Lu Zhiye's hands were very broad and his fingers were very long, restraining him so tightly that he couldn't move.

The kiss was very powerful, leaving him no room to dodge or resist. He could even clearly feel the other's breath on his cheek, the warmth of his palm rubbing into his hair, and the touch and temperature of his sleeves and jacket rubbing against his skin.

After the kiss, Lu Zhiye let him go.

Those dark and emotionless eyes were now bright, making the whole facial features look more lively.

She stared at him for a few seconds and asked, "Haven't you kissed before? How come you don't know how to kiss at all?"

The next morning, Shi Jing had dark circles under his eyes and did not close his eyes once during the entire flight back to Yanhai City.

Lu Zhiye felt something was wrong on the way to the airport.

Shi Jing distanced himself from him.

She didn't look at him the whole time.

The plane was first class, and everyone had a separate seat separated by a low wall to protect privacy.

But it's still different from usual.

This strange feeling continued until the evening meeting.

The double row match was a complete success and the schedule for the new season has also been announced. Of course, it’s not time to rest yet, and we will be even busier in the future.

Coach Wan talked about some operational details that could be improved when Shi Jing and Lu Zhiye were playing in duo queue. The rest of the time was spent on explaining in detail the rule changes for the new season and their training and live broadcast arrangements.

Shi Jing sat in the seat in front of Lu Zhiye. The seats were pulled out so wide that he wished he could squeeze two fat managers in between.

Lu Zhiye lowered his eyes after looking at the person who had been supporting his head with one hand and had not even glanced at him since entering the meeting room.

Typed a few words on the phone.

【A-lzy：. 】

Can be sent out.

The friend position is still there.

The person in front moved his arm and glanced at the lit phone screen.

A-lzy: What happened?

There was a soft "dong" sound.

It was Shi Jing who made the noise by throwing the phone he had glanced at back onto the table, not even bothering to unlock it.

The person in front of him returned to the posture of supporting his head with one hand and facing him with the back of his head.

Lu Zhiye: “…”

Everyone else's attention was focused on the coach, and Jiang Yuan was secretly eating the snacks he brought in under the table. No one noticed the little episode here.

【A-lzy: Didn’t we reconcile yesterday? 】

A-lzy: I'm sorry.

【A-lzy: I won’t talk nonsense anymore. 】

The screen of the mobile phone on the table went black and then bright, and then bright and then black again.

The person sitting in front of me didn't react at all.

After thinking for a few seconds, Lu Zhiye tore off a piece of note paper from the conference room.

Just like last time, write all your apologies on it.

While the coach and the manager were watching the big screen, he stretched out his arm and stuffed the paper ball into Shi Jing's drooping other hand.

The movement is a bit big.

It touched Shi Jing's little finger.

The moment their skin touched, the person in front jumped up from his chair as if he had been scalded.

“Fuck!”

Jiang Yuan was the first to be frightened, and the fried skewers in his hands almost flew out. "What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened? "

The chair hit the conference table, and there was a "creak" followed by a clang. Shi Jing stood beside the chair in a strange posture, his whole body stiff and his teeth bared.

Everyone in the conference room looked at him.

Coach Wan: "What's wrong? Is the chair broken?"

“…” Shi Jing was visibly tense. His eyes swept across Lu Zhiye, then moved away just before contact.

After half a second, he said, "Nothing."

He pulled the chair over and sat down heavily again.

His right hand was still clutching the small note.

The ears hidden in the short hair turned red.

A second later, a new message popped up on Lu Zhiye’s WeChat.

He opened it and saw——

【s: Get lost.】
