Chapter 48 Jinjiang Novel Reading Exclusive If You Touch Me, Anywhere...
Unable to tell what exactly went wrong, Lu Zhiye looked outside the convenience store as he was told and did not make any further sound.
But the temperature in the small space seemed to be rising.
The eardrum that was tickled by those tiny vibrations showed no sign of easing, but instead became even more noticeable.
"Haven't you left yet?" Shi Jing couldn't stand it anymore.
As they were facing each other with their heads lowered, he could only look up slightly to see Lu Zhiye's lips and nose.
Then Lu Zhiye blinked twice.
Shi Jing: “…”
Several people came into the convenience store, but none of them went so far back that they naturally didn't notice the two young men huddled together in the corner.
After a while, the shoppers walked out and the thank you sign on the automatic glass door was triggered.
Shi Jing felt that his hearing must have been enhanced by what he had eaten.
Otherwise, how could he capture all the movements around him so clearly, even every breath of Lu Zhiye above his head.
"Lu Zhiye." Just before the hand he was holding was about to become extremely hot, Shi Jing risked his life, "I won't hide anymore——"
"Let's go." Lu Zhiye said at the same time.
Shi Jing: “?”
The force on his hands loosened, and Lu Zhiye stepped sideways between the shelves. He felt a huge sense of relief.
The feeling of breathing freely again made Shi Jing take several deep breaths.
Finally, he recovered and looked around.
The convenience store was empty, with no one there except them.
He glanced out the glass door again.
This location is not in the bustling part of the pedestrian street, but on the corner. There are not even a few people outside the door. You can tell at a glance that the group of crazy fans who followed them are no longer here.
Shi Jing turned his head and glanced at Lu Zhiye beside him: "Is this what you said about not leaving yet?"
Lu Zhiye said calmly, "Well, I'm afraid they'll leave and come back."
Shi Jing: “…”
Shi Jing narrowed his eyes, but before he could utter a word of doubt, Lu Zhiye's phone rang.
It was the fat manager calling.
"Where have you been?" the voice on the other end was also panicked. "Are you all right? Is it convenient for you to answer the phone now? Don't show up. The group of people here today are not your ordinary orderly fans. Some of them are too excited. You must not go out..."
"We didn't show up." Lu Zhiye's calm voice helped the fat manager regain some sanity. "We're at the convenience store two blocks ahead."
The fat manager said, "That's great, that's great. Send me your location and wait at that convenience store. We'll drive over to pick you up right away."
After hanging up the phone, not long after, SFD's black nanny car stopped on the side of the road outside the store.
Worried that someone might make a surprise attack, the fat manager urged them to go up quickly like a thief. Shi Jing didn't have time to think about what he was going to say.
The convenience store cashier saw the two young men running in one after the other, holding each other's hands, and then hiding in the innermost corner, still close to each other.
There was a surveillance camera right in the corner, and she could see everything clearly on the screen.
At first, she was a little embarrassed and wanted to remind him that this was a public place, but she was also afraid that she was wrong. What if the relationship between them was not what she thought?
The cashier witnessed the taller boy holding onto the shorter boy's hand the entire time, as the latter tried to break free but failed. They whispered something to each other, and the shorter boy looked angry, but he didn't actually snap at the other boy.
She must not be wrong.
She was worried that they might do something inappropriate in public in this small shop, and was anxiously trying to figure out how to remind them in a way that was appropriate and not awkward, when the two of them walked out.
A car came to pick them up at the store door.
The shorter boy blushed and looked grumpy. Without saying a word, he tensed up and got into the car. The taller boy followed behind.
After exchanging a glance with the fat middle-aged man who seemed to be their parent or teacher, the cashier restrained his expression and decided to keep it a secret for them.
-
"Oh my god, Brother Lu, where did you two go? We thought you were kidnapped by fans and were about to ask the police to help find you." Jiang Yuan was in the car with a terrified look on his face.
"I was being chased." Lu Zhiye said, "I hid for a while."
Jiang Yuan glanced out the car window: "Where are we hiding? Is there a place to hide in such a small convenience store?"
You can see the entire store at a glance, and the shelves are so crowded that there is almost no place to stand.
If I run here when being chased, won't I get stuck inside?
Lu Zhiye wanted to answer but received a death-threatening look from Shi Jing.
His lips moved: "There is a warehouse inside."
"Oh." Jiang Yuan didn't doubt it. "The shop owner is quite nice."
After all this trouble, I couldn't continue eating in that restaurant.
The scene was terrifying, with players from several clubs stuck inside and unable to get out. The fat manager even suspected that a rival team had sneaked in and was deliberately causing trouble.
In the end, the police had to be called to maintain order, and they were able to quickly get into the car and retreat through the back door.
We found a restaurant with a safer and better environment in the city center, close to the hotel arranged by the event organizer, and arranged a buffet for the SFD group.
The buffet just suited Jiang Yuan's taste. He liked the atmosphere where he could walk around and eat at his own pace, especially when there were so many people present.
Shi Jing didn't care what he ate, but he was really hungry now. He took a large plate of food that would fill his stomach and found a seat to eat.
"There's seafood here, and there's a long line over there for king crabs! The manager is really willing to spend a lot of money." Within a few minutes, Jiang Yuan had brought over three plates. "Hey, brother, what are these?"
Shi Jing looked up when he saw something in Lu Zhiye's hand that looked familiar in color.
Lu Zhiye took out two bags of snacks from his pocket.
It was a kind of seaweed sold at the school gate a long time ago.
It’s called Little Boss, and there’s a picture of a laughing doll that looks like the God of Wealth.
There is a feeling that a long-lost memory is suddenly loosened.
Lu Zhiye gave him: "Nori."
"Where did you get it?" Shi Jing asked curiously.
This pack of stuff may not be uncommon nowadays, and kids nowadays might even look down on it, but in the school back then, a pack of Little Boss was hard currency that could attract several buddies.
In an age when other snacks are only fifty cents or one yuan, this thing is seven dollars and fifty cents a box. What a concept!
However, according to today's prices, I guess the small bag in my hand would not be worth the original price.
Shi Jing turned the package over to take a look and heard Lu Zhiye say, "I saw it at the convenience store."
“…”Awesome.
It seemed that he was the only one who was extremely nervous and afraid of being discovered. Lu Zhiye still had the mind to check out what was being sold on the shelves.
Looking at the suggested retail price of 12 written on the back of the package, Shi Jing sighed inwardly: "You like this?"
Isn't this something that only ordinary people had in their childhood?
He loved eating when he was in high school, and because it was so extravagant and rare, he would only treat himself to a bite after winning prize money after a game.
These memories can be recalled clearly.
But Lu Zhiye lives in a big villa, and the supermarket next door has words written in foreign languages he has never seen before. You need a membership to go in and buy things. He actually eats the same snacks as him?
Shi Jing was a little surprised.
Lu Zhiye lowered his eyes and looked at him for a few seconds.
"I just picked this up. It says hot sale on the label," he said. "It looks like it'll be delicious. Want some?"
How can a snack from more than ten years ago still be a hot seller today?
Shi Jing raised his eyebrows.
I thought to myself that it seems kids nowadays have pretty good taste.
After such a long time, he really missed this taste. Shi Jing said without hesitation: "I'll eat a pack."
"Oh, by the way, the manager has a package of gifts for you." Jiang Yuan suddenly remembered.
Shi Jing didn't realize at first that he was talking to him.
Seeing Jiang Yuan staring at him intently, he asked, "Me?"
"Hmm!" Jiang Yuan swallowed the chicken fillet in his mouth, took a sip of water to slow down, and then lowered his voice mysteriously, "It was given to me by a female fan. I saw it with my own eyes. It was a beautiful lady with long black hair. We wouldn't accept such gifts, but she kept saying how much she likes you. She picked these for you personally. Please, we must give them to you. She looked like she was about to cry..."
Lu Zhiye was sitting next to him, and he could hear Jiang Yuan no matter how low his voice was. Shi Jing turned his head towards him with a feeling of uncertainty in his heart.
Halfway through the turn, he met Lu Zhiye's gaze that was quietly gazing at him.
Shi Jing: “…”
Shi Jing turned his face away in an instant.
Grass.
What are you looking at?
Didn't you hear that the fans were forcing it on the manager? He wasn't the one who wanted to take it.
Shi Jing was stunned.
wrong.
He felt guilty, so what if it was a female fan who gave him a gift? What did it have to do with Lu Zhiye?
The next second, Jiang Yuan asked, "How about I ask the manager to bring the gift to you?"
Shi Jing paused holding the chopsticks.
"No." He stared at the food on his plate.
"?" Jiang Yuan blinked, misunderstanding what Shi Jing meant. "Don't you want it? Fine, then go find the manager and take it to the room and unpack it slowly."
The buffet meal took almost two hours, and Jiang Yuan took three rounds of king crabs that he had queued for before he was willing to give up.
"I just saw you weren't going to stay in the bathroom tonight." The chubby manager almost rolled his eyes as he handed him the room card. "This time, the rooms are for two people to a room. It's arranged by the tournament organizers. It's not as extravagant as we usually get. I won't make the final decision on who gets to room with whom. The room cards are here. You can discuss it yourselves."
They were all young men, and living together made it easier for them to have some free time in the evening, like playing games. As soon as the room cards were handed out, Team One and Team Two all gathered around.
"How about it, Sweetie? Do you want to room with me?" Matt came over with a playful smile. "I'm a great sleeper. I don't snore, smoke, or sleepwalk. I'm sure you'll have a perfect night's sleep."
"Don't be fooled, Sweetie. His snoring can shake the roof down." Dunzi immediately added.
Matt turned around and went to fight Dunzi.
Unable to ignore the gaze that had been cast at him unabashedly since the beginning, Shi Jing couldn't bear it any longer: "Don't look at it, it's impossible. I'd never share a room with you, even with anyone else."
Lu Zhiye: "Okay."
Shi Jing: “?”
He turned around in surprise when he agreed so quickly.
Lu Zhiye stood behind him and lowered his eyelashes: "I will try not to have nightmares. It won't affect tomorrow's game."
Shi Jing: “…”
Shi Jing: "I'm not asking you to sleep alone, why would you have a nightmare?"
Lu Zhiye looked at him: "Others are different from you."
Shi Jing: “…”
Shi Jing took a few deep breaths and asked, "So what do you usually do at the base?"
"Before this happened, I wasn't afraid." Lu Zhiye said it calmly, without any trace of pretense.
He was so scared that when someone rushed towards him with a knife, he could kick the person away with one kick? And even knocked the knife away?
As if he could see what he was thinking, Lu Zhiye said, "Knowing that I'm in the same place as you, I feel safe."
Shi Jing: “…”
Shi Jing didn't say anything. Lu Zhiye waited for a while and then asked, "Did you ask the manager for the gift that the female fan gave you?"
Shi Jing: “?”
Shi Jing: "No, what's wrong?"
"It's okay." Lu Zhiye looked at Shi Jing, "Do you want to take it to your room and dismantle it yourself later?"
"?" Shi Jing didn't understand how the two topics jumped together, "Why should I go to the room to dismantle it?"
Lu Zhiye stopped talking.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Xiao Yuan said she is your super topic host."
"What's the matter?"
"She's very beautiful and likes you very much." Lu Zhiye's voice became lower. "You opened the gift she gave you and didn't want me to be around. That's right."
“…” Shi Jing opened his mouth, but not a single word came out.
Lu Zhiye: "If a female fan confesses her love to you in the future, will you like it?"
"..." Shi Jing said, "No."
There are so many female fans who have confessed their love to him in the past.
Lu Zhiye said "hmm": "But you will always meet someone you like."
Shi Jing: "...That's for the future, let's talk about it later."
Lu Zhiye: "If it's someone you like, they would definitely be willing to share a room with you."
Shi Jing: “…”
Lu Zhiye's eyelashes drooped again: "I understand."
Shi Jing: “?”
What do you understand?
Lu Zhiye: "Since you really mind, I won't do anything that makes you unhappy again."
Shi Jing: “…”
Lu Zhiye: "I designed that keycap myself. The love heart doesn't suit your taste. If you really don't like it, you can throw it away. It's okay."
"Just don't let me see you throw it."
Shi Jing: “…”
"You can continue to live in the villa. If you have someone you like, you can bring her to live with you."
"I didn't intentionally move the room to face your window. I just wanted to see if I could see you from the window every night."
"But if you don't like it, I'll move out when I get back."
Shi Jing: “…”
"I won't say anything that bothers you again."
"One room."
Shi Jing's muffled voice sounded at the same time as Lu Zhiye's.
Lu Zhiye: "What?"
"..." After a few seconds, Shi Jing gritted his teeth and said, "I'll room with you, okay? Room! I didn't say I didn't like that pair of keycaps, and I don't dislike the hearts either. I... such an expensive thing, if I don't put it away, would I use it? If someone accidentally knocks it over, is it your ID or mine that will be dropped?"
"Your fucking room can face whose window you want. I won't bring any bastards to the villa, and you don't need to move out..."
Halfway through his speech, Shi Jing suddenly realized that this was not a private space, but a fucking hotel lobby.
There were also players from SFD and almost all other clubs in the lobby.
In an instant, Shi Jing's face turned red all the way to the back of his ears.
fine.
He didn't really yell at Lu Zhiye. The people around him were also fighting over the room card, and no one noticed the incident happening in the corner...
Shi Jing clenched his fists.
"Shi Jing." Lu Zhiye called out from behind.
"If you say another word," he said, his back to her, his body tense like a statue. "I'll sleep in the same bed with the manager rather than live with you."
After a few minutes, everyone found their rooms and roommates.
Shi Jing came out of the elevator and swiped his room card.
The door closed with a click.
Holding the room card, he faced Lu Zhiye who was standing in front of him.
Behind Lu Zhiye was the room where they would stay for the next few days, and two single beds.
"Lu Zhiye." Feeling the growing heat in his ears, he almost squeezed the plastic room card out of shape. "Let me make a deal first. You're not allowed to push the door while I'm showering, you're not allowed to touch my clothes, and you sleep in your own bed."
"If you touch me at night, you won't have your hand anymore."
Lu Zhiye was silent for two seconds.
Very lightly, his Adam's apple rolled up and down twice.
You read that right.
Lu Zhiye was laughing.
It was not obvious, but the eyes were indeed bent.
Shi Jing was about to lose his composure: "Lu Zhiye, if you laugh again, you will die."
"Um."
Lu Zhiye tried very hard to suppress his emotion, but he couldn't do it at all: "Shi Jing."
Shi Jing: “…”
"I won't touch you." He squinted his eyes and turned his face slightly, trying to hide his smile, but unfortunately his voice gave it away again. "If you touch me, you can touch me anywhere."
Shi Jing: “…”
Shi Jing's face burned even more.
"Shi Jing." But every word Lu Zhiye said danced on his nerves.
He wanted to touch him. Lu Zhiye raised his hand and lightly touched Shi Jing's blushing cheek.
Stopped.
"I like you." he said.
Like you.
So whatever request is cute is fine.
