Chapter 225 Extra Chapter (Xiang x Xiao)
As the King of Hearts, he developed an inappropriate possessiveness towards his Jack.
Xiang Mingjue realized this very early. At that time, Xiao Feng's spouse Mei Yu had not yet appeared, and his relationship with Xiao Feng had not broken down because of this.
But even if he could turn back time, he would never truly repent.
Killing Mei Yu was the most satisfying thing he had ever done in his life, bar none.
His only regret was that because of Xiao Feng's love for her, he was soft-hearted and did not take action sooner.
Before entering the gambler's game, Xiang Mingjue was just an ordinary civil servant.
He works a nine-to-five job, earning a meager salary and trying to make a decent living.
He never felt bored by the monotonous life, nor did he yearn for a life of feasting and revelry.
Although this is not worth mentioning in the eyes of many of his classmates who have become big bosses.
Even if he was once the school idol, so what? He was still muddling through life.
It is said to be a stable job, but how much money is in the pocket? Everyone smiled at each other and knew it clearly in their hearts.
Xiang Mingjue, whom the teacher used to praise all the time, has become just like everyone else.
He had heard such words and ridicules so many times that he no longer felt anything.
Everyone thought he was just wasting his time, even Xiang Mingjue's parents were no exception.
He clearly had a brighter path to follow and a more dazzling future, but Xiang Mingjue chose the most honest, even cowardly, way of life.
His passion has never been for the glamorous stage, or for a higher platform where he can display his talents.
In fact, it was just the opposite. He knew exactly what he wanted.
A quiet and ordinary circle, a small but comfortable home, a well-behaved and obedient cat, and myself who often daydreams.
If Xiang Mingjue had not received the red card, he thought he would have continued to live like this.
Unfortunately, one can never guess which of the surprises or accidents in life will come first.
Xiang Mingjue remembered that his encounter with Xiao Feng began in a cruel indoctrination camp.
That was the first card game he entered, and also Xiao Feng’s first card game.
All thirty-six players, including novices, were sealed in a huge basement by the system.
It is called a basement, but it is actually just an enclosed space with a dim environment, a very low height but a large area.
Xiang Mingjue and a girl who was no more than twenty years old were locked in the same locked fenced house.
There are seventeen more rooms like theirs.
The girl was obviously not a newcomer entering the game for the first time. Her calmness contrasted with Xiang Mingjue's panic and helplessness.
However, his stupidity was nothing compared to the other guy.
The newcomer shouted for help in the fenced house, trying to attract the attention of people outside.
He even used his innate talent to violently dismantle the fence in order to save himself.
Although these behaviors are normal in the real world, they are undoubtedly suicidal in the gambling game.
Xiang Mingjue, who had just become a newcomer, didn't know this. He just saw a very young and tough face from afar through the narrow gap in the fence.
The moment I caught a glimpse of it, I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in my heart.
However, this mysterious feeling continued to guide Xiang Mingjue in the subsequent developments.
So in the end, he took the risk and chose to save the newcomer.
The final outcome was something he could never have predicted.
It was just an inappropriate thought, but it doomed the two of them to be entangled for the rest of their lives.
That newcomer was Xiao Feng, who later became the Jack of Hearts.
Xiang Mingjue only saved Xiao Feng once. Even though Xiao Feng later saved him many times in times of crisis, it was enough to offset the favor he had shown him.
But he never thought of leaving his King.
There is no doubt about Xiao Feng's loyalty to Xiang Mingjue.
They were not close friends, let alone partners. Even though they lived under the same roof, Xiao Feng didn't talk much.
It’s not that Xiang Mingjue is difficult to get close to, but in Xiao Feng’s mind, he has an unbreakable idol halo compared to others.
Xiao Feng respected him, loved him, and was loyal to him, like a devout believer.
However, this believer never thought that his god would imagine him in the quiet of the night, or develop an inappropriate possessive desire for him.
In fact, even Xiang Mingjue never thought that he would fall in love with a man of the same sex.
However, when the desire sprouted and broke out of the cocoon, he already understood in his heart.
Although he accepted it calmly in his heart, Xiang Mingjue did not think that the attachment that arose in times of crisis was love.
At that time, he was just a useless newcomer, and it was Xiao Feng who accompanied him through the most painful and dangerous days.
It was Xiao Feng's unwavering one-way choice, even if he had nothing to repay.
I can’t remember how many times in times of danger Xiang Mingjue had tried to persuade Xiao Feng to give up on himself, so that at least one of them could survive.
At that time, Xiang Mingjue would say a lot of embarrassing things, which always made Xiao Feng angry and ashamed, and he wanted to strangle him to death on the spot.
What was he after? It was just a heart-for-heart exchange.
Rather than surviving alone, he hoped that Xiao Feng could go back alive.
But Xiao Feng didn't.
Even though he was furious and bit his lips until they bled, he remained silent.
His eyes were fixed on Xiang Mingjue, silently expressing his most resolute choice.
That was a look that made Xiang Mingjue want to cry.
It is also the past that he dares not recall the most now.
Because that was the beginning of all emotions, and it was also the quagmire where he was trapped in the struggle between sweetness and pain.
He has always been Xiao Feng's most determined choice, and Xiang Mingjue knows it.
A man's sweet promises can often make people lose themselves more than his eyes.
He remembered every promise Xiao Feng had made, and he also understood clearly that promises were just a joke played by time.
Xiao Feng said that he would stay with him until his death.
He said that he would never give up his King, just like he would never give up his faith.
He said...
Xiang Mingjue believed every promise Xiao Feng made, and believed it very clearly.
But he would also pray in the quiet of the night, hoping that these promises would be fulfilled one by one.
But is there really a god who listens to his wishes?
When Mei Yu appeared in front of Xiao Feng for the first time and Xiao Feng was completely attracted by her, the stone that had been hanging in Xiang Ming's determination finally fell.
There was no sound, but it was enough to turn the world upside down.
He will be Xiao Feng's most determined choice, but he will not be Xiao Feng's only choice.
He is Xiao Feng's god and faith, but he is not the one he is closest to and loves the most.
There are countless possibilities between them, such as relatives, close friends, but definitely not lovers.
Xiang Mingjue knew that he had always been clearly aware of this.
He didn't hate Mei Yu, even though that woman had done a lot of disgusting and stupid things to him.
But he did not hate Mei Yu. He would not hold a grudge against Mei Yu as deeply as Xiao Feng did.
Because he knew that even if it wasn't Mei Yu, it would be someone else.
Xiao Feng is like him, they are both men with normal sexual orientation.
Sooner or later, the woman destined for you will appear by your side.
However, compared to Xiao Feng's slowness, he realized something earlier.
Therefore, even if he became the real King of Hearts and stood at the top of the pyramid, there was still only Xiao Feng by his side.
It’s not that he hasn’t encountered it, but that he has always known what he wants.
Whether it's loneliness or possessiveness, he doesn't like his balance to be disrupted.
At that time, he had just met Plum Blossom King not long ago.
Although that person acted close and showed great kindness, Xiang Mingjue was not necessarily confused.
Xiao Feng couldn't tell that he was a villain with a dagger hidden in his smiling face. He was extremely grateful to Jin Zirui for his matchmaking and said all the good things he could to Xiang Mingjue.
He looked like a son-in-law who lived with the family and was extremely fawning. Xiang Mingjue wanted to kill him with a knife.
Xiang Mingjue did not object to the relationship between Xiao Feng and Mei Yu. He had no position and no identity to object.
Later, Xiao Feng still dated Mei Yu.
Not long after, Mei Yu moved into Xiang Mingjue's apartment and the three of them started living together.
Now when Xiang Mingjue thinks back on those things, he can't help but find it funny.
Before Xiao Feng met him, he was just a poor male college student.
The poor environment of a single-parent family has cultivated Xiao Feng's good quality of hard work and even trained him to have a strong physique.
But poverty is poverty. Xiao Feng eats and lives in his own way, and even after getting a girlfriend, he doesn't have the money to move out.
Although he had suggested moving out to Xiang Mingjue, how could Xiang Mingjue agree when he knew his own thoughts clearly?
He wanted to see with his own eyes what would happen to this pair of dogs.
Xiang Mingjue politely declined Xiao Feng's proposal as a friend, and persuaded him to stay so that they could help each other when they entered the card room later.
Although his reasons sound plausible, they may not hold water if you think about it carefully.
But at that time, Mei Yu had received Jin Zirui's instructions and had come here with other intentions, so she acquiesced to this arrangement.
Hence, the ridiculous cohabitation life that followed.
The author has something to say:
There should be one or two more chapters for this couple's extra story, right? If I don't have time, I'll finish the main story first and then make up for it later~
It's a good time for everyone to change their taste~
