Chapter 25 Chapter 25 0 points, failed, you are out...
Will Xie Zhizhi come?
Feng Wen didn't know.
He followed Shen Che back to the court and continued playing for half the game. He heard a commotion around him and turned around to see that the black-haired beta had appeared outside the court at some point, carrying a large bag of water in his hand. He put on a gentle and obedient face and slowly moved inside.
The laughter around him grew louder with every step he took, but Beta remained silent the entire time. He finally chose a spot that was neither too far nor too close to the court and stood there, as obedient as a bullied young wife.
Several players around him murmured, "Ah, what did I say? You can't hold it in for more than two days, look, it's coming now." They turned their heads and shouted at the blond alpha not far away:
"Shen Che——"
"I'm here to see you."
His tone was cheerful and his gestures were exaggerated. He didn't notice at all that Feng Wen's pressure beside him suddenly dropped. Even his eyebrows were slightly gloomy.
This shows that a limited perspective can really kill people.
Apart from the two parties involved and Feng Wen, no one knew that the couple had basically torn each other apart, and they still thought the plot line stopped at the melodramatic and abusive love story.
Chen Che, who was standing diagonally across from him, tilted his head slightly, glancing to the side and behind him rather shyly. He didn't deny it, but simply said, "Come on, let's finish this fight first."
Then he withdrew his gaze indifferently.
Xie Zhizhi held the water and said nothing.
The eyes of several players on the field turned eagerly between the two of them, and the surroundings were suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.
Feng Wen stood where he was, looked over and met Beta's gaze, then tilted his head meaningfully and hooked out the necklace hidden under his clothes.
The black and silver ring was exposed, lightly hitting the lower edge of the collarbone, sending out a kind of warning signal.
Take it yourself.
In public, Feng Wen mouthed this to the "honest young wife" in the corner.
After saying that, he smiled, the curve of his lips showing obvious mischief, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"..." Xie Zhizhi blinked, wondering what was going on. He put a bag of water on the ground, sat down with his legs crossed, and waited quietly for the second half of the game to start.
He lowered his head to adjust the gap between the water bottles, and his deep and penetrating gaze passed across Feng Wen's neck silently, as if he was thinking about something.
Twenty minutes, not too long nor too short.
The sounds of footsteps, friction, and dribbling were intertwined, and the tense atmosphere repeatedly condensed and intertwined in the rapidly heaving chest and sweat.
If there was any difference from the first half, apart from the black-haired beta sitting outside the field, Shen Che's mood seemed to inexplicably turn gloomy.
After passing a ball that was enough to make a person's hands numb, his unlucky teammate blurted out "Holy crap" unconsciously.
Pure modal particle.
This guy is usually aggressive when playing basketball, but it doesn't seem like he's being out of line right now.
In a fast-paced game, no one took this twist so seriously. After a beautiful fadeaway jump shot by the same teammate, no one paid attention to this unusual thing and focused on the game itself.
The final whistle blew and the tense atmosphere finally eased.
The players who were still gasping for breath almost spontaneously picked up Chen Che and walked towards the edge of the court. Xie Zhizhi pursed his lips, patted his butt, stood up, and held the water bag in his arms.
"Don't do it." Shen Che impatiently slapped the arm that was on his shoulder away.
The player said with a playful smile: "I can tell from the looks of it that I came here specifically to find you. If you don't drink, how can I drink?"
Shen Che sneered and made no comment, only saying, “Who cares about you?”
Player: "Come on, give me some face, this much water must be really heavy!"
Shen Che squeezed out a single syllable from his nose, his eyes coldly fixed on the water bag held by Beta.
In any case, the group of people were getting closer and closer to Xie Zhizhi.
The heat from the steam scalding the air around people who had just finished exercising made the air around them a bit hotter. Xie Zhizhi pursed his lips and subconsciously ignored the crowd and looked back. Sure enough, he met a pair of smoky gray eyes. The eyes raised their eyebrows and looked at him, and also walked towards him.
Xie Zhizhi had originally planned well, finding a legitimate excuse to come to the arena to deliver water, then giving each person a bottle, and then taking the ring back based on the situation and leaving...
But what is the style of painting now?
He sighed almost inaudibly and pulled out a bottle of water from his arms. The bottle was obviously cold, but for some reason it felt like a hot potato.
Who should I give it to first? It doesn't feel right no matter who I give it to.
"Can I have a bottle?" a player suddenly came up.
Xie Zhizhi paused his hesitant gaze, then met a dark-skinned square face he had never seen before, and he felt as if he had been pardoned: "Yes, of course." He immediately handed the bottle over with a look of relief.
The dark-skinned, square-faced man took it without noticing under a ton of gazes, unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip.
Teammates were speechless: "You fucking..."
The dark-skinned, square-faced man was puzzled: "Why? Is the water poisonous and can't be drunk?"
The teammate chuckled: "It's okay, you're dying of thirst, idiot."
The dark-skinned, square-faced man hummed, then raised his head and drank deeply. For the first time, Xie Zhizhi felt that this rough-hewn, dullard was a rare treasure in the world.
It's much easier once you have one.
A group of hot-tempered alphas formed a semicircle with laughter. The beta in the middle was scooping out water like a robot, always keeping his eyes on his nose, his nose on his mouth, and his mouth on his heart.
Shen Che stared at Beta for a moment, showing no intention of moving forward. Suddenly, the person next to him jokingly pushed him and said, "Since you're here, I'll get you a bottle."
With an unhappy sound, Shen Che took two steps forward and, while extending his hand, uttered something that most people found incomprehensible.
"Who are you bringing water to?"
Facing the uncomfortable scrutiny, Xie Zhizhi handed over a bottle naturally and said innocently, "Huh? Everyone has one, you too, you're welcome."
When his palm was touched by the cold bottle wall, Chen Che let out an ambiguous chuckle, took it, and walked into the circle of friends without looking back.
He stood with his back to Beta very deliberately, listening absentmindedly to his friend's erratic conversation. He weighed the water bottle in his palm for a few times, unscrewed it, tilted his head back, and poured the cold water down his throat.
Beta's water was almost completely gone, even the main character, Chen Che, walked away. Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the crowd's attention had already turned to other places.
Xie Zhizhi held the last bottle of water and raised his chin towards the person leaning against the basketball rack not far away.
Not coming yet?
Feng Wen didn't even turn his head to look at the people around him. He walked up slowly with one hand on his waist, looking lazy.
As he reached out to the water bottle handed to him by Beta, he leaned forward slightly. The ring that was dangling outside his clothes began to tremble and droop under the force of gravity, hanging lonely on his neck with a light sweat. The dancing metallic light was unexpectedly eye-catching.
Xie Zhizhi looked at the ring and thought that he would just rip it off when he handed it to him. At worst, he would have to compensate him with a silver chain, which was better than him trying to do something else.
Unfortunately, his thoughts were too obvious, almost written all over his face.
Feng Wen licked the inside of his mouth, chuckled, and suddenly felt that there should be a better way to return the ring.
The fingertips touched the wall of the bottle as expected, but did not stop, and continued to climb up like painting.
Facing the other party's warning gaze, he touched the inside of Xie Zhizhi's wrist with his fingertips, which were slightly moist with condensed water, and then slowly tightened his palm.
"?"
With another effort on his hands, he pulled Xie Zhizhi back against the crowd, his movements light and natural.
The latter looked back in panic, trying to confirm whether the scattered players had noticed this side.
Amidst his hurried footsteps, Xie Zhizhi caught a sigh-like sound of "How insincere". Without even thinking, he raised his hand and hit the person's arm in dissatisfaction.
What are you mumbling about? What if someone sees you?
After the fight, he looked up and met Feng Wen's half-smiling eyes. Then his waist was tightened and he was forcibly hugged and brought into the room.
It's the locker room.
The players' personal belongings were scattered on the neatly arranged counters. The training match had just ended and the room was still empty.
The warm body pressed against his back only stayed there for a few seconds before he wisely moved away. Feng Wen snatched the water bottle from his hand, unscrewed it and took a sip, his Adam's apple rolling up and down as he swallowed.
Xie Zhizhi entered, but his spirit remained outside: "We'll be seen. If we get photographed, I'll be on the forum headlines for at least a week."
Feng Wen stood with his arms folded, looking unconcerned, and asked him:
"Are you nervous?"
Who wouldn't be nervous about this? He looked away and retorted angrily, "What else?"
Feng Wen gave a short laugh, leaned in a few inches closer, and asked seriously, "Why are you so nervous? Is it because what we're doing looks like an affair?"
The last two words were deliberately emphasized. Xie Zhizhi was speechless. He looked up at the alpha's eyes full of mischief, wondering how anyone could say such words so confidently.
In this not-so-pleasant-smelling lounge, Xie Zhizhi suddenly understood the saying, "If only life could remain as it was when we first met." This person would have clearly said, "You're welcome," when someone handed him a tissue half a month ago.
With a sigh, Xie Zhizhi rarely looked so bad-tempered.
"Does 'secretly' in your words mean stealing me away in front of everyone?"
"Not satisfied?" Feng Wen raised an eyebrow. "Then I can start the traditional 'secret' from now on."
"?"
"What's the meaning?"
Feng Wen quickly told him what it meant.
The tall alpha walked over and closed the locker door first. He hung the water bottle loosely on two fingers and slowly found a clean cabinet to sit against the wall. He put on a nasty smile and sent the sound steadily into his ears.
"They're supposed to have a small meeting next, but I'm not sure if anyone will come."
Looking up, the lines of his shoulders and neck were smooth and beautiful, and the alpha exposed the silver chain to the maximum extent. Xie Zhizhi saw that the overly delicate metal trembled slightly as the vocal cords made sounds.
Xie Zhizhi pulled the corner of his lip, and even anticipated what this person was going to say next.
Feng Wen stared at him intently. "If we take it off now, we should be able to slip away without anyone noticing."
"I promise to cooperate with you this time."
Few alphas would be so generous in showing off their necks, and their words and actions would be an invitation to touch them.
Just like wild animals will not easily expose their bellies out of self-protection instinct, the glands and vital points on the neck are gathered together, and no one would deliberately want to put them into the hands of another person.
Xie Zhizhi blinked and had to admit that for a moment, a feeling of pleasure similar to being pleased rolled through his chest, causing the initial dissatisfaction to be washed away and become insignificant.
"What if I'm really unlucky and get discovered?"
Feng Wen smiled and replied nonchalantly, "We'll talk about it when we're discovered."
It is completely hedonistic and only cares about the present, and will fail sooner or later.
The alpha's shallow breathing in the vast space was strangely noticeable. Xie Zhizhi approached, his dark eyes glaring at him. No matter how he looked at him, he found his complacency unpleasant.
It made me feel very embarrassed because I was just scared.
"What did you say yesterday?" His fingertips stroked his neck. He seemed to have forgotten that he had agreed to play tricks with this person.
After scratching the protruding Adam's apple, Xie Zhizhi saw Feng Wen's eyelids trembling uncomfortably as he wished. An inexplicable pleasure surged into his throat, and he let out a satisfied hum.
"Yesterday? Which one did you say?"
Xie Zhizhi's eyes fell on his neck intently: "Every word."
What is hiding the tail, what is not making things difficult for others, every sentence.
His fingers suddenly pressed on his Adam's apple, physically preventing Feng Wen from opening his mouth to say anything.
Putting his hand around the back of his neck, Xie Zhizhi turned the necklace interface to the front: "0 points, failed, you are out, you are not allowed to play like this."
Feng Wen raised his eyebrows, raised his hand to hold the hand that was about to take off the necklace, and apologized to him with dissatisfaction but sincerity.
A bunch of random words poured into his ears, but Xie Zhizhi just lowered his head and concentrated on unbuttoning his buttons, as if he didn't hear anything at all.
Actually, I listened to it.
The joint was just a simple lobster clasp, but he leaned over and fiddled with it nonchalantly, looking like he was in a difficult situation.
When he lowered his eyes, he unexpectedly saw the alpha's skin pores standing up where his breath fell. He responded with a chuckle, successfully making the alpha shut up.
Feng Wen lowered his head and looked at him: "What are you laughing at?"
Xie Zhizhi curled his lips and was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.
Tap-tap-tap-tap
“…”
Yes, life is always like this, good things don’t work but bad things do.
As soon as you make a wish, nothing happens; as soon as you speculate on something, all the bad consequences come to you.
A thief always feels guilty. He didn't even bother to think about whether there was any excuse to justify their behavior. He just subconsciously followed the script of the immoral act. His pupils shrank, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "Did you lock the door?!"
Feng Wen rested her head on his shoulder and smiled, saying lightly, "No, I didn't expect someone would actually come."
#
The person knocking on the door was just being polite.
He knocked twice in a lounge that should have been empty, and when no one answered, he reached for the doorknob and turned it down without hesitation.
He walked in slowly, and glanced around casually.
——There is no one here.
He took out a pair of shoes, sat down on the empty counter nearby and bent over to change them. As he moved, he caught a glimpse of a faint silver light out of the corner of his eye.
He glanced over casually, and his hand movements stopped abruptly after he saw clearly.
Change your shoes, stand up and pick it up.
A very thin silver chain lay in the palm of his hand.
——It seems familiar.
In the empty lounge, he stood there for a while with his head tilted, as if thinking about something. After a while, he uttered an ambiguous "ah" and tilted his head to look towards the shower room in the inner room.
