Chapter 22 Jinjiang Novel Reading Exclusive: Who tugged at whom? ...
The fat manager always felt that something was not right with Lu Zhiye.
It all started when I saw that trending post on Weibo.
Almost all the domestic clubs went there, so SFD naturally had to send someone there as well. However, unexpectedly, Lu Zhiye seemed to be in an even worse mood when he arrived.
The fat manager guessed that he was remembering the scene on the day of the incident. After all, a young life was lost in an instant, and anyone would be scared to death.
Late at night, after thinking it over, the fat manager was still worried, so he thought about going to talk to Lu Zhiye and comfort him.
He took the elevator upstairs and realized something was wrong.
Lu Zhiye never returned to the room.
Outside the glass curtain wall, heavy rain was pouring down and thunder was roaring one after another.
At this hour, if the person is not in the room, where else could he be?
The fat manager was so worried that he was about to make a phone call. Suddenly, he saw a vague figure at the door of the villa opposite.
He was drenched by the heavy rain, but still stood straight on the steps of the entrance.
“……?”
One or two, what's wrong with them?
It was past three in the morning and even the stray dogs at the door had gone back to their nest in the basement to sleep. The fat manager pushed the door open and went out to call for help. He was caught off guard and got doused in rain all over his head and face. He then hurriedly closed the door and went to look for an umbrella.
After waiting for a long time, he still couldn't open the umbrella, so he looked up in frustration.
The door of the villa across the street opened.
The new recruit he had just hired was holding the door, tugging at Lu Zhiye with an unfriendly expression. One was trying to close the door, while the other was blocking it and preventing it from closing.
etc.
Who pulled whom a few times?
The fat manager suspected that his eyes were dazzled by the rain and rubbed them.
Wait until he looks back again——
The new team member reached out a hand, grabbed Lu Zhiye's collar and pulled hard, pulling him in.
"Bang!"
The loud sound of the door closing could not be masked even by the heavy rain.
Fat manager: “…”
Fat manager: “?”
-
Shi Jing folded his arms and looked at the person in front of him coldly.
Lu Zhiye was really dripping with water, and even from a few steps away, the cold air on his body seemed to be able to seep through him.
Shi Jing looked at him like this and was about to speak when Lu Zhiye suddenly raised his hand——
Cover your lips.
He coughed lightly twice.
Shi Jing: “…”
"Sorry." Lu Zhiye couldn't hide the hoarseness in his voice.
It would have been fine if he hadn't opened his mouth, but once he opened his mouth, he coughed a few more times.
Shi Jing: “…”
My hands hurt when I make a breakthrough. With such a weak physique, how can I get wet in the rain?
He felt that if this person took a few more steps, he would fall to the ground.
He's so tall, but so frail?
Fearing that someone might have really died in his room, Shi Jing pressed the elevator button.
The elevator door opened, but the people behind were still standing there without moving.
"Are you going to stand there all night?" Shi Jing's tone was definitely not friendly.
Lu Zhiye blinked slowly.
Walked towards him.
Last time in the hospital, in addition to receiving psychological counseling, the nurse also gave me a medical bag.
When he came back he didn't take it seriously and just threw it somewhere. He didn't expect it to come in handy now.
Although not for him.
He found some cold medicine in his medical kit, poured himself a cup of hot water, stirred it twice, and turned around—
Shi Jing was face to face with the winding water stains on the ground.
Shi Jing: “…”
Shi Jing stuffed the cup of cold medicine, most of which had sunk to the bottom and not dissolved, into Lu Zhiye's arms, then pulled out a dry towel and threw it on him.
"Wipe it clean," he said. "If I see a drop of water on the floor again, get out."
This time, Lu Zhiye was quite unexpected.
Not only did he wipe himself clean, but he also cleaned up the water on the floor when he came back while Shi Jing was in the room.
Shi Jing: “?”
You have some good sense.
"The bathroom is over there." He finally said it without so much hostility, "Go take a shower after you finish drinking."
Lu Zhiye didn't move.
I just gave you a compliment, and the young master's illness came back again, right?
Shi Jing frowned: "Why, do you want me to get you a bottle of baby gold water?"
Lu Zhiye looked at him, his eyebrows slightly lowered.
"No clothes," he said.
Shi Jing: “…”
Shi Jing threw Lu Zhiye into the bathroom along with a bathrobe that he had found from somewhere.
He suddenly came to his senses when he clearly heard the sound of water inside.
I took out my phone and looked through the trending searches that I hadn’t looked at carefully just now.
The clubs I attended were basically mentioned in passing, and there wasn't much coverage of them.
Perhaps no matter how unscrupulous an entertainment reporter is, he or she is still afraid of ghosts.
Shi Jing's mind was full of random thoughts.
I scrolled to the bottom and finally saw a piece of news with SFD in it.
The headline was a long, sarcastic paragraph, looking like a piece of press release bought by some SFD club hater. It was accompanied by a photo, a snapshot of Lu Zhiye at the scene.
Caption: Wild attended the memorial ceremony with a black face throughout.
These entertainment reporters who are stirring up trouble are so shameless that they are causing trouble.
Shi Jing raised his hand and gave it a gift package for reporting. At the same time, he was about to type a greeting in the comment section when the bathroom door opened.
Shi Jing turned his head.
The door opens.
The hot air from inside rushed towards him, almost drowning him. If he didn't know that Lu Zhiye had just taken a shower, he would have suspected that someone had thrown a smoke bomb in his room.
After a while, the water vapor dissipated a little, carrying with it the rich scent of shower gel, and Shi Jing could see the person in front of him clearly.
As expected, the bathrobe was too small for Lu Zhiye.
But is it really that small?
The bathrobe couldn't be fastened properly, leaving most of Lu Zhiye's skin exposed. The open collar almost let one see the lines of his abdominal muscles clearly.
“…” Shi Jing shifted his gaze away unsmoothly.
"Is there a breeze?" Lu Zhiye suddenly asked.
The voice was slightly hoarse, a characteristic of those who have just washed up. In the airtight room, it sounded as if someone was speaking right next to Shi Jing's ear.
Shi Jing was so burned that his face tensed up: "No. It will be dry in a few minutes. Why do you need a blow dryer? Put on your clothes."
I saw a word called "male virtue" on the Internet before, but Shi Jing didn't quite understand what it meant. Now he suddenly understands it without any guidance.
It is people like Lu Zhiye who should be criticized.
Lu Zhiye paused, lowered his head, and pulled his bathrobe a little closer.
It would be fine if you didn't pull it, but once you pull it, it makes it even more obvious.
Shi Jing: “…”
Lu Zhiye said: "You can open the window."
Shi Jing: “?”
Shi Jing: "Do you want to take another natural bath?"
"The rain has stopped." Lu Zhiye gestured to the full-length mirror beside him. "You look very hot."
Shi Jing: “?”
Shi Jing turned his head and looked at himself in the mirror with red ears.
Shi Jing: “…”
"I'm not hot." Shi Jing gritted his teeth and said, "Stay away from me."
After he finished speaking, he realized that Lu Zhiye was not standing very close to him.
Why the fuck is it so hot?? It's like being right next to him.
This person brings his own stove?
"Don't give me a cold." Shi Jing added vaguely and went to find the remote control to turn on the ventilation system.
Opening the window in the villa area late at night, do you want to kiss the moth or be carried away by the mosquito?
After turning on the fresh air system, Shi Jing suddenly remembered—
damn it.
What is he doing?
It wasn't like he really wanted to take Lu Zhiye in for the night. He just wanted him to drink some medicine and take a bath, and that was enough. He even opened the window and ventilated the room.
Back in the room, Shi Jing's expression became much colder.
"Are you done?" He watched Lu Zhiye wipe his hair and clean up the bathroom and towels.
Lu Zhiye turned around and looked at him.
After some tinkering, he looked like a decent human being again.
Unfortunately, none of the things they did were like humans.
Shi Jing sneered in his heart: "Lu Zhiye, when you bought my peripherals, did you take them to your laboratory and disassemble them?"
The room was quiet.
Without the sound of rain and thunder, silence would be suffocating.
After a long time, the fresh air system he turned on made a slight sound of wind.
Lu Zhiye stood in the dim light and looked at him. Shi Jing didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that his lips were pursed.
You must feel guilty.
He remained silent, and the fire in Shi Jing's heart burned even more fiercely: "Do you think I won the championship because of peripherals?"
"So what did you find out?" He was obviously angry, but his words became calmer.
Not many people have seen Shi Jing like this.
Although he is well-known for his bad temper and difficult to deal with both inside and outside the circle, Shi Jing actually rarely gets really angry on weekdays.
In comparison, those who provoked him on the court or during live broadcasts and were taught a lesson were just minor fights and did not anger him at all.
If you really provoke him, Shi Jing won't waste time talking to others.
If those people in EVG who knew him were present, they would definitely know that this was a sign that Shi Jing was really angry.
His face turned completely cold, that was the end, he didn't give face to anyone and didn't care about the consequences.
"How could you come up with such nonsense?" Shi Jing crossed his arms, leaned against the wall, his eyes cold.
And I fucking like it.
Want to fall in love like.
"Do you think Zeit, who has no parents and no one to love him, is a fool who needs love, that he will definitely believe your nonsense?"
Shi Jing said that enough was enough. The more he looked at this man's face, the more annoying it became.
He clenched his fist and walked forward.
"No." Lu Zhiye said suddenly.
"?" Shi Jing narrowed his eyes. "Nothing? Your teammates betrayed you clearly."
"I didn't dismantle your peripherals." Lu Zhiye said.
Shi Jing was stunned.
"Your keyboard and mouse weren't working when you bought them. Neither the 2.4G nor the cable worked." Lu Zhiye stood still and said calmly, "I was afraid I might damage your things, so I sent them to Jinyang's lab and asked them to help repair them."
Jinyang E-sports Peripheral Laboratory.
This is a well-known company in China run by a peripheral enthusiast. They won't take orders from ordinary people. Their products are very well-known in foreign circles. Naturally, the prices are ridiculously high.
Lu Zhiye: "They said your keyboard was violently disassembled. When they opened it, they found several switches missing, two of the switch legs were crooked, and the switch base had fallen off."
Shi Jing's eyebrows jumped violently.
Only EVG.
The only people who could do such a thing are the idiots in the upper echelons of EVG.
"Everything else can be repaired. Rewiring the mouse is a bit troublesome, but it's okay." Lu Zhiye said, "The only thing is that the interface on the keyboard base is scratched. I can't find the same material, so I can only roughly restore the color."
"You should have noticed it too."
Shi Jing: “…”
Shi Jing was silent.
"It's not perfect," Lu Zhiye said. "I'm sorry."
Shi Jing: “…”
"I shouldn't have dismantled your peripherals without your consent. That was wrong of me," he continued. "But I don't think you won the championship because of your peripherals."
“…”
"I don't think you lack love."
“…”
"I didn't even think you were..." Lu Zhiye hesitated for half a second and said with a hint of unfamiliarity, "Idiot."
Shi Jing: “…………”
Shi Jing clenched his fists even tighter.
After a long pause, he said, "What about your homophobia?"
Lu Zhiye raised his eyes: "?"
Shi Jing: "Your teammates said that you've been harassed by fans before and are very disgusted with the gay community."
Lu Zhiye was really confused this time: "I dislike myself?"
Shi Jing: “…”
"It was an emotional fan, and I didn't have enough experience in team management before," Lu Zhiye said. "That person shook my hand and wanted to come over and hug me, but I didn't like him."
Shi Jing: "Your teammates said you washed your hands more than ten times after you came back."
After Shi Jing finished speaking, he noticed a little detail.
From the moment Lu Zhiye entered the house, all the dirt he had created, anything visible to the naked eye, from water stains to used items, was cleaned up. The towels were neatly folded, and the sink in the bathroom, which had been stained with toothpaste after he had used it for a few days, was also polished to a shine.
Shi Jing's eyelids twitched: "Are you a germaphobe?"
Lu Zhiye hesitated: "A little bit."
What the fuck is this called?
After Lu Zhiye finished showering him, a few drops of water dripped onto the ground, and now the floor of this room was almost unable to reflect light.
Lu Zhiye said: "I'll clean up the things and it won't affect you."
Shi Jing: “?”
Who the hell said your mysophobia has anything to do with me?
Lu Zhiye added: "I washed my hands before because I didn't like that person. It had nothing to do with whether he was a man or a woman."
"But you're different."
Shi Jing's sense of crisis erupted: "Okay, you don't have to say anything."
Sure enough, the next second, Lu Zhiye said: "If it's you, I like it..."
"Shut up!"
It's quiet.
Shi Jing almost rushed over to cover his mouth.
Fortunately, Lu Zhiye didn't really continue talking.
"You..." Just as he thought this, Lu Zhiye frowned again, "It's really not hot?"
Shi Jing: “…”
Shi Jing felt the obvious warmth on his cheeks, and the slight sense of guilt in his heart disappeared.
"None of your business." He was still fierce, but his voice was noticeably softer. "It's almost dawn, why don't you just go back across the street?"
Lu Zhiye seemed stunned for a moment.
"?" Shi Jing looked at him, "What? You don't think you can sleep here, do you?"
Judging from Lu Zhiye's expression and actions, he seemed to... really fucking think so.
But unfortunately.
The rain outside had stopped a long time ago. The drainage system in this area was very good. After they worked for a while, the ground was almost dry.
Shi Jing glanced at the time and it was almost five o'clock.
Not sleepy at all.
After Lu Zhiye took back his wet clothes and put on his shoes, Shi Jing suddenly remembered something.
"I'll go with you," he said.
Lu Zhiye half bent over and turned his head when he heard the words.
Shi Jing: "You have to return my uniform to me."
This time, Lu Zhiye couldn't make up any excuse to shirk responsibility.
Shi Jing walked in front, and just before leaving, Lu Zhiye said, "Shi Jing."
He froze.
Realizing that there was no one else here and no one would hear him, Shi Jing finally relaxed again, his face tense, and his usual casual tone: "What?"
"You don't lack love." Lu Zhiye said.
Shi Jing was stunned.
Lu Zhiye: "There are many people, many fans... They all love you very much."
"..." Shi Jing turned his face away stiffly.
Facing the brown door in front of him, after a long pause, Shi Jing said in a hard voice: "I understand."
-
Although the rain has stopped, the autumn wind in the early morning still makes me feel a little cold.
Shi Jing was not wearing much, as he felt that his clothes from the night before were sweaty, so he washed his face before going out, and casually put on some pajamas, still wearing slippers.
Lu Zhiye is even more exciting.
The robe couldn't hold her up and the hem was a lot shorter. Her hair was half dry and looked messy when the wind blew it.
Shi Jing glanced at it and didn't look at it again.
It can only be described as unsightly.
Lu Zhiye's room was in a row with the rest of the team. It felt familiar at first, so Shi Jing waited for him to open the door by pressing his fingerprint.
"You put my—" After seeing the layout of the room, Shi Jing's eyebrows were furrowed like a mountain, "You put my clothes on the bedside?"
damn it.
In order to avoid disturbing other people next door, he couldn't speak too loudly.
Is it too late to call the police now?
Shi Jing gritted his teeth and walked over to pick up the team uniform on the hanger.
"What about the others?" he asked viciously.
Lu Zhiye glanced at him and opened the wardrobe.
It turned out to be placed inside.
Also comes with a dust bag.
Fortunately, it’s not that excessive.
Lu Zhiye handed it to him.
Shi Jing took away the whole pot of radish and mud.
Several spring, summer, autumn and winter clothes plus the hanger are a bit heavy. Why does Lu Zhiye put such a long dust bag in it?
Shi Jing didn't want to let these clothes stay in this room for even a second, so he walked out.
Lu Zhiye: "There's a box on the ground—"
“Fuck!”
The word "Zi" has not been fully uttered.
Shi Jing stepped on the express box at the door.
He found that he had a grudge against express boxes since he arrived at this base.
The moment his feet slipped, Shi Jing instinctively grabbed something with one hand to stabilize his balance.
Grabbed some soft cloth.
His head buzzed.
It's over.
The entire narrow entrance lived up to everyone's expectations. With a loud "clang", Shi Jing fell to the ground.
“Boom.”
A water cup rolled past the door.
Shi Jing looked up.
I saw a pair of bear pajamas.
His future supporting teammate Jiang Yuan - and Jiang Yuan's big O-shaped mouth.
damn it.
The thing I was most worried about happened.
"Xiao, Xiao Tiantian?" Jiang Yuan rubbed his eyes, unable to believe it. "Brother Lu?"
He looked like he was terrified, and he looked around nervously again and again to confirm the scene in front of him.
"What are you...doing?"
Shi Jing used a funny gesture to cover up the conspicuous EVG-Zeit on the team uniforms on the ground.
"Nothing." He made his tone sound calm and convincing. "I got up early and came to visit. I accidentally fell."
Jiang Yuan still didn't close his mouth.
His eyes fell on Lu Zhiye who was behind Shi Jing.
Shi Jing: “?”
Shi Jing turned around and met Lu Zhiye's abdominal muscles, which seemed to be glowing under the incandescent light.
etc.
Abdominal muscles?
Lu Zhiye's upper body was naked.
In order to prevent the entire dress from falling off, the latter had to bend over, making it look like he was leaning over Shi Jing's back.
Where's his pajamas?
I seem to be holding something in my hand.
Shi Jing pulled.
It was the strap of a nightgown, held in his hand like a rope, the other end attached to the waist of the person above him.
Shi Jing: “…”

Thanks to my wives for the nutrient solution and thunder, muah!
