Chapter 57 Jinjiang Novel Reading Exclusive Second Update. ...
Shi Jing had recently noticed that Jiang Yuan and Song Jiahang had a habit of watching videos together while eating. However, he had no intention of joining them.
A beautiful day turned bad when I helped Lu Zhiye to cover up his lie.
Moreover, the person suddenly received a phone call and ran away.
Shi Jing poked at the remaining fried buns intermittently, glancing towards the restaurant entrance out of the corner of his eye.
Just then I saw Lu Zhiye coming back.
He didn't go to where they were sitting, and there was someone following him.
A young man.
I guess he is about the same age as them, maybe one or two years younger. He has a baby face and a fair complexion, so it is difficult to judge his real age.
It can be seen that she just came in from outside. She was wearing a cold-proof khaki wool coat and a plaid scarf. Her short hair was a little curly, which was quite cute.
Shi Jing is not someone who consumes luxury goods, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know about them.
At just a quick glance, there was nothing on this person that did not fall into the category of "luxury goods".
He kept looking at Lu Zhiye, his eyes curved, and his smile was warm: "I knew it, don't I know you well enough? Nothing I guess is wrong."
A very familiar tone.
After saying that, he patted Lu Zhiye lightly on the arm.
Shi Jing was stunned.
Lu Zhiye didn't show any dissatisfaction with his action, and followed his words with a "hmm": "You guessed it right."
"...I hope I'm not right." The young man raised an eyebrow. "Don't even mention that I wasn't thinking about you while I was abroad. I longed to sit in church every day and pray, hoping everything would go well for you."
After saying that, he exhaled, "It's freezing cold. I really can't stay in Yanhai any longer. I need to hurry back to the south. Can I have a meal at your place? I haven't eaten anything today."
Lu Zhiye: "Okay."
The two of them turned to the various food windows on the cafeteria side. With their backs to them, Shi Jing could no longer see Lu Zhiye's expression.
However, from their backs, one could vaguely tell that they were still communicating.
He turned around and met the same pair of curious eyes.
It's just that he's the object of my curiosity.
Shi Jing: “…”
Shi Jing controlled his facial expression and pretended to ask casually, "Who is that person? The club manager?"
Jiang Yuan: "Uh... no, it seems to be Brother Lu's friend."
"Friend?" Shi Jing was quite unfamiliar with this word.
This word becomes even more unfamiliar when connected with Lu Zhiye.
"I heard he's a former classmate of Brother Lu's, but I'm not sure. He's been studying abroad or something." Jiang Yuan stuffed a fried dumpling in his mouth and spoke in a mumbled voice. "You know, my Brother Lu is a rich second-generation, so it's normal for him to know some young masters studying abroad."
After swallowing the fried dumplings, he pointed in the direction of the two people with his chopsticks: "He's quite nice, though, not too arrogant. He even gave me a small gift last time, which he brought back from England, hehe."
Shi Jing: "? He's been here before?"
"He's been here. It's only about ten hours from the UK. I read online that the food there is terrible. He must go back to China to eat as soon as he has a holiday." Jiang Yuan said, "Right, Dazhuang, how many times has this guy been to our club before?"
Song Jiahang didn't even look up from his phone: "I don't remember."
Jiang Yuan: “…”
Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes. "Speechless. Oh, don't bother with him. Anyway, I only know that he's Lu Ge's high school classmate or something. Oh, and he also plays Apex."
Shi Jing raised his eyes.
Jiang Yuan: "But it's quite low, only Platinum or Diamond."
"Other rich second-generations don't rely on gaming to make a living like you do." Song Jiahang was tired of hearing this. "Do you still want to eat? If not, give it to me."
"No." Jiang Yuan protected the fried dumplings on the plate. "Who are you to steal even two dumplings?"
While they were fighting, the sound of conversation behind them gradually became clearer in Shi Jing's ears as Lu Zhiye and another person approached.
"So, do you live in your old home? Or did you move here?" The boy's voice was soft, and his words were rhythmic and pleasant. "Moving to the base is convenient, but what about Nian Nian? I can't let Auntie feed it every day. It's so small, and if I leave it out for another ten days or half a month, it'll turn into a wild bird."
"No." Lu Zhiye's answer was much briefer.
"Don't be so confident," the boy said. "I've watched a lot of lovebird videos online. This species is prone to resentment. If your bird thinks the lady who feeds it is its owner, you won't have anywhere to cry."
"Have you finished reading? Return the phone to me if you're done." The noises of Jiang Yuan and Song Jiahang drowned out the voices behind them. "Hey, Song Dazhuang! This is my phone!"
I didn't catch what was said before, but I just heard the boy say, "Why did you suddenly add an A in front of your name on WeChat?"
A-lzy.
Lu Zhiye's private trumpet.
Isn't it said that this account doesn't add people easily?
Shi Jing continued to stare at the fried dumplings on the plate with no expression.
"It's convenient." Lu Zhiye said, "When will you go back?"
"...I've only been back for three days. Please, are you kicking me out?" the boy said angrily. "At least next month after next. I need to make up for all the food I've eaten during this period. Otherwise, it will be too painful for me to go back."
"Okay, go ahead and do your thing. I'll go back to my friend's place after dinner. You don't have to send me off. Just take me to play Apex with you in the evening."
Lu Zhiye answered something, but Shi Jing didn't hear it clearly.
The man walked back to Shi Jing's table and saw that he had stood up. He asked, "Are you done eating?"
"Yeah." Shi Jing pulled the napkin next to him and wiped his mouth.
"Can we still duo queue tonight?"
"?" Shi Jing almost blurted out, "Aren't you the classmate I just promised to take you with me?" and almost braked the car.
Lu Zhiye wouldn't think he was eavesdropping on their conversation, right?
I guarantee I will.
But he didn't mean to eavesdrop at all. The sound of the two people's conversation drifted into his ears. What could he do?
He didn't say anything. Lu Zhiye waited for a few seconds: "I want to play Ghost and Power again. The cooperation was very comfortable yesterday."
Shi Jing: “…”
After two seconds, he pursed his lips and put his hands in his pockets: "Okay, let's play tonight."
Who cares.
It’s none of his business what Lu Zhiye promised this and that.
It's his own problem that he can't manage his time.
As a result, at night, the boomerang finally hit Shi Jing after a whole day's delay.
He went online, and Lu Zhiye's evil spirit account invited him to join the team.
But his main size is also online.
There are also battle records on the main account. Not many, just two games.
Shi Jing: “?”
Shi Jing: "Your main account is also online. Was it stolen?"
"No." Lu Zhiye said, "I just played two games with my friends."
Shi Jing: “?”
It only took him a few minutes to get from the training room to the villa, and it took no more than half an hour including changing clothes, taking a shower and blow-drying his hair.
Still using two accounts? Are you playing Time Management Master?
It was obvious with a toe that it was the boy who came to the base during the day. Shi Jing lowered his eyes and spoke a little lower without realizing it: "Why don't you just use this account to invite him to join the team?"
The voice reply was natural: "This number has no friends."
Shi Jing: “…”
Shi Jing: "So what are you going to do now? Play duo queue with two accounts at the same time?"
There was a few seconds of typing noise coming from Lu Zhiye's headset, probably replying to a message from another account.
"No," he said. "We'll just play in pairs."
After saying that, he handed the captaincy to Shi Jing.
"You drive," he said.
The sound of typing on the keyboard came again, crackling.
Shi Jing had never been so annoyed by the sound of the broken magnetic axis as he was today.
Place the mouse on the Start Ranked button.
The typing sound continued on the other end.
Lu Zhiye's character chose a ghost and hung it in the training range. It has not moved from the beginning until now, and even the parachute command was transferred to him in advance.
Shi Jing's desire to beat Lu Zhiye, which had disappeared not long ago, rose again.
The sound of typing was intermittent. He stared at the matching words for five seconds and clicked cancel: "I won't play today."
The typing finally stopped.
Lu Zhiye paused and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Shi Jing leaned back indifferently, "I'm a little tired. I don't want to train every day anymore."
After saying that, the person exited the voice chat.
A second later, the game system displayed [SFD-Sweet has quit Apex Legends.]
The account is still connected to the computer, but the game has been exited.
Lu Zhiye sat in front of the computer and subconsciously glanced at the window of the villa opposite.
The light is on.
The private chat in the game kept popping up. Lu Zhiye recalled what had happened in the past few minutes, but he couldn't imagine what he had done to offend Shi Jing.
[[Private Chat] Truemy: I've already told you about your dad. If you're soft on him once, he'll definitely be soft on you again. It's not surprising that he came after you this time. But since he didn't get what he wanted this time, he knows he'll get nothing out of you. All the scumbags I've met share the same logic: They bully the weak and fear the strong.]
[[Private Chat] Truemy: I don't mean to say Brother Lu is soft. Brother Lu is really well-mannered. Someone like me who doesn't care about anyone would just go up and slap him twice.]
[[Private Chat] Truemy: But with the security at your base, if he comes looking for you again, he won't even be able to get through the main gate of your base.]
[[Private Chat] Truemy: I'm not going to talk about these awful things anymore, as long as it's resolved! My boyfriend called me, so I went to hang out with him. Bye.]
The good friend is one of the people who knows about Lu Zhiye’s father’s situation.
I'd dealt with them before on the hotel and various investments, and because we were classmates, they'd helped me with bank loans a few times. Over the years, we'd kept in touch, albeit not very frequently, because of this.
When the news of Mr. Lu's father finding the hotel last time reached him, he naturally had to pay attention to it.
After a brief reply, Lu Zhiye quit the game, glanced at the window opposite, and took out his cell phone.
After quitting the game, Shi Jing sat on the chair and let it spin twice. The more he thought about it, the more he felt like he was crazy.
It's normal for Lu Zhiye to have classmates and friends from a family like his. Why is he bothering here?
Isn't it just a double-open chat with others? What's the big deal?
But if you don't concentrate on playing games, get lost.
Shi Jing's emotions jump back and forth between two extremes.
Is this also the same operation used by those who cheat on scumbags online? First, I add only you on my secondary account, but end up with a huge friend list?
damn it.
Lu Zhiye didn't seem to have said that the crappy WeChat account only added him.
Shi Jing thought about it carefully. The person who said that Lu Zhiye rarely added other people on his secondary account was Jiang Yuan.
He believed what Jiang Yuan said.
Grass.
Even more annoying.
After staring at the wall with deep hatred for a few minutes, Shi Jing took out his cell phone.
Click into Lu Zhiye’s big circle of friends.
It's all teamwork that can be seen at a glance.
quit.
Clicked into the small circle of friends again.
Less content.
All he posted were pictures, and the pictures were either birds, birds, or birds.
Shi Jing had just clicked on the option to see what the blurry abstract background in the circle of friends was all about when a vibration popped up.
【A-lzy invites you to a voice call. 】
Shi Jing's hand trembled as he clicked the answer button.
Shi Jing: “…”
The man on the other end didn't expect him to answer so quickly. He paused before speaking, "Shi Jing."
Shi Jing: “…”
Shi Jing said in a hard voice: "What? Didn't I say I was tired and didn't want to fight anymore?"
Lu Zhiye: "What happened?"
"without."
"Are you in a bad mood?"
"No. Why should I be in a bad mood?" He asked in a low voice, which made Shi Jing even more angry. "Let's watch a movie and go to bed. You can play duo with your good friends. I won't get involved."
There was no sound from Lu Zhiye.
Shi Jing thought he had hung up, so he took the phone off the hook and took a look. WeChat and the phone were clearly still connected, and there was no indication of network fluctuation.
He frowned: "It's stuck? Did you hear that?"
On the other end of the WeChat call, Lu Zhiye covered his eyelashes and turned his face away.
The words that popped up in his mind were suppressed by him just before he could say them.
He could imagine what Shi Jing's reaction would be if he really asked.
My face will probably turn red again.
The ears probably will too.
The call will most likely be hung up directly, and tomorrow... or for many days thereafter, no one will talk to him again.
His heart was itching so much that Lu Zhiye just rolled his Adam's apple and said in a low voice, "No card."
"Shi Jing," he said, "I don't fight with my friends."
Shi Jing: “?”
Lu Zhiye: "I'm only duo queuing with you, no one else."
"Next time I'm in your platoon, I won't chat with other people. I'll be careful." He said, "Rest if you're tired. Don't watch the movie too late. Good night."
…
Of course Shi Jing didn't go to sleep.
He didn't even get up from his gaming chair. The TV show app he had already opened was floating on his phone screen, but he didn't click on any movie for a long time.
Shi Jing: “?”
The heat that I realized belatedly climbed up my face from the hand holding the phone.
no.
What do you mean by only duoing with him?
What does it mean to not chat with others next time? Will you pay attention?
Who asked?
Who cares??
What's the meaning? ? ?
Shi Jing sat in front of his simultaneously open phone and computer screen for a few minutes, clicked on Lu Zhiye's private chat, frantically sent a string of question marks, and received the same series of prompts from the system: "The player is not online."
Oh shit.
You logged off so quickly, just ran away after saying that, right?
Ding, a private chat notification sound.
LA-LEO:?
【LA-LEO: Sweet, why are you alone? 】
【SFD-Sweet:?】
Shi Jing's eyelids, which had just lifted up, fell back down.
LA-LEO: Come on, there are only three of us, 3=1, a luxurious space battleship, ga ga, let's get on board.
LA-LEO: Your ranking is rising pretty fast. What do you say? I'll get you into the top ten tonight. Want to join us?
[SFD-Sweet: Not coming.]
LA-LEO:?
[SFD-Sweet: Don't worry about my top ten, just keep your top fifty first.]
LA-LEO: ???
After attacking the sandbag that was delivered to his door, Shi Jing's mood eased a little. He said the last sentence and turned off the computer.
[SFD-Sweet: Asleep, 88.]
【LA-LEO:? ? ? ? ? 】
-
The next day.
Shi Jing walked out of the SFD cafeteria with the steps to go to Dark Shark Lu Zhiye.
He got up early again today, which was a rare occasion, mainly because the fat manager also gave him a contract with a live broadcast platform for the new season.
Shi Jing had just gained some fame in the double-row competition, so starting a live broadcast at this time was a natural way to strike while the iron was hot.
For the sake of popularity, the fat manager also specifically told Lu Zhiye to team up with him on the day of his first broadcast to bring in traffic.
Shi Jing went upstairs with a half-drunk bottle of hot soy milk.
The staff were debugging the equipment and Lu Zhiye was not in the training room.
He wasn't in the cafeteria just now.
Where are the people?
He checked the time.
Although it was earlier than usual, the premise was that he usually came quite late. Under normal circumstances, Lu Zhiye should have been sitting in the training room practicing shooting by now.
Shi Jing, holding a straw in his mouth, wandered downstairs—
I saw Lu Zhiye at the door.
And his classmate.
That's okay.
He was wondering if Lu Zhiye had something going on at home, but it turned out he was having a great time chatting with others.
Looking again, the classmate also handed Lu Zhiye a cup of milk tea.
Don’t you dislike sweet drinks?
Oh shit.
It’s none of his business.
It's so sweet that Lu Zhiye is dying of sweetness.
"Sweet!" Jiang Yuan came over from the other side, "Would you like some sweet soup? I'd like some, but if it's not enough to cover the shipping fee, I'll treat you."
I usually have no interest in these things.
Today, for some unknown reason, Shi Jing turned his gaze away from the two people in front of the door and said, "Eat."
Jiang Yuan was also quite surprised that Shi Jing agreed to drink sugar water.
He just asked casually, but he didn't expect that he could actually find Shi Jing to share the order with him.
"Have you ordered?" Shi Jing threw the soy milk cup in his hand into the trash can. "If you have ordered, come upstairs and I'll help you get points."
"Ah?" Jiang Yuan's eyes widened. "Aren't you going to play duo with Brother Lu today?"
There was still a live broadcast going on, and he heard it when he passed by the manager's office.
"No fight." Shi Jing pressed the elevator button.
Fight him for nothing.
"Go upstairs and I'll take you on the hunt."
Is there such a great thing?
Jiang Yuan: "Little Sweetie, you're awesome! I'll treat you to the biggest bowl, and I'll cover all the sweet soup today!"
