Chapter 68 Jinjiang Novel Reading Exclusive Can you hold it again? ...
In the villa building across from the SFD base, the lights came on an hour earlier than usual.
Shi Jing sat in front of his computer, staring at the game page that he had just launched instinctively with his brain going blank, not knowing what to think.
Why did he agree?
What did Lu Zhiye say he was coming over for? Not duo-queuing, but trying to hold hands.
How could he agree to something like this?
Although I didn't ask him to follow me immediately.
He said: Later.
So Lu Zhiye nodded and said he would send him a message later.
Is this a question of whether it’s too early or too late?
"..." Shi Jing began to suspect that he had been possessed by someone from time to time.
Before he could think more, a team invitation popped up.
As expected, everyone who got off work at their respective bases reunited in the game.
Jiang Yuan's voice quickly came from the headset: "Sweet, why are you hanging out alone on the main page? What's up? Do you want to play again? Wait and see if there's anyone else. Let's continue the four-person team game."
"You don't play duo anymore?" Song Jiahang asked.
"Oh, duos isn't as important as four-person teams. The coach and manager both said the new four-person team season is about to start, so we should practice more coordination. We've already won the duos championship, so why bother playing?" Jiang Yuan said, "I'll call another person."
Shi Jing didn't even think about it: "I won't fight."
"Why aren't you playing? Who isn't playing?" Another notification sounded, prompting LEO's voice to come uninvited. "New here, what's going on? You three are posting about team building on the homepage?"
Jiang Yuan: "Sweet said he doesn't want to play, no, how did you join our team?"
"I don't know. I saw you were all on the home page. I tried clicking on Join Team and you were in." LEO said, "Check your game settings to see if you can automatically allow friends to join your team."
Jiang Yuan: "...really? Who came up with this feature?"
LEO: "What do you mean? I can't join your team?"
Jiang Yuan: "Don't slander me, I didn't say that."
"Then if you can, don't turn off the automatic team joining function... Well, aside from that, I heard someone on your team got a gift from the top host on Seafood TV today?" LEO asked. "Could it be you, Xiao Yuanyuan?"
Jiang Yuan: "...Don't be disgusting, okay? It's not me. It's Sweet."
LEO said "Oh" meaningfully: "Wouldn't it be extremely embarrassing for a newbie to be given a gift by a female anchor for the first time?"
Shi Jing: “?”
"It did explode." Jiang Yuan recalled the scene, "but you didn't seem too shy, did you?"
Are you shy?
Shi Jing's expression wasn't right, and his tone of voice was strange. But Jiang Yuan couldn't connect these actions with the word shyness. He certainly didn't think it was because of the gift from Bing Jie.
If it wasn’t because of receiving a gift from the female anchor, then what could it be?
Was there anything else going on in the training room at that time?
Jiang Yuan scratched his head, unable to figure out the reason for a moment.
LEO: “?”
LEO: "How is that possible? Little boys are very good at pretending. Maybe his face is still red now, right, Sweet?"
Shi Jing squeezed the mouse and made a clicking sound: "I don't know, but my fist is red now, do you want to see it?"
LEO: “…Then I’d rather not watch it.”
LEO almost forgot that although this guy is a newcomer, he is the most difficult one to deal with in their SFD.
But it’s not his fault. It’s just that Shi Jing looks so well-behaved that people tend to overlook his hot temper.
"I asked Xiao An'an, and he said we can form a four-person team later." Jiang Yuan said, "Will you join us? LEO."
LEO: "? What do you mean, Sweet, you really don't fight?"
Shi Jing: "No fight."
"Those young players from the North American division haven't dared to come recently. This is a good opportunity to gain points." LEO didn't give up.
Jiang Yuan: "Don't you see why they don't dare to come? Has anyone heard about our crushing defeat of SKIL last time? If not, I'll tell you again."
"No, I was there last time too, okay?" LEO said.
"It seems so." Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, "Oh, sorry, I forgot about you."
LEO: “…”
Jiang Yuan said sarcastically: "What's the matter? Sweet was the one who led us all, so it's normal that she can't remember you."
LEO laughed in anger. It just so happened that he had been a drag in that game. "Okay. So what's the deal now? I just practiced all afternoon and my game is hot. Sweet, are you really not considering it at all?"
Only then did Jiang Yuan see that the word "cancel preparation" appeared above Shi Jing's head.
"No." After a few seconds, Shi Jing said, "Let's take a break."
Without listening to their heartfelt requests, Shi Jing glanced at the time and quit the game.
There were no new message notifications on the phone. Shi Jing took a quick look and found that Lu Zhiye's account in the game was also offline.
Oh shit.
Why do I suddenly have the feeling that I want to meet someone in secret?
He should have closed the glass door in front of Lu Zhiye at the entrance of the base, and it would have been better if he could have let Lu Zhiye get in.
I stared blankly at my phone for a long time, and when I came back to my senses, my hand was already on the smart app, typing out a line of questions:
What should I prepare in advance when meeting someone privately for the first time?
It took the AI only a few seconds to think, and soon, a long list of organized answers popped out word by word.
Here are some tips for users on how to spend time with someone privately for the first time:
1. Maintaining good personal hygiene will give your first private time a good start, so washing up is a good idea. For example, wash your hair and take a shower. Use a fragrance your partner likes to make your first private time more sensual.
…
Shi Jing: “?”
Feeling burned by some of the words, Shi Jing's fingers reacted faster than his own brain and directly pressed the button "Stop Thinking".
???
No, what sensory stimulation?
He was talking about the first time they were together in private. What did this idiot come up with?
Shi Jing re-entered the text - [What should I do when meeting someone at home for the first time who I usually work with but has a good impression of me and I want to continue to have private contact with him/her], and deleted it.
Shi Jing stared at the screen with a numb face, lost in thought.
A few minutes later, enter again - [What should I do when I spend the first time with someone I work with privately at home (the other person has a crush on me)].
In the first minute after sending it out, Shi Jing scratched his head with a little anxiety.
Second minute.
Why not just cancel it? I feel like this description isn't very accurate.
Third minute.
The content in the brackets seems unnecessary, so delete it and re-enter it.
…
Fifth minute.
The APP responded.
【The server is busy, please try again later. 】
Shi Jing: “…”
What the fuck?
Ten minutes later.
Shi Jing tidied up the computer desk that he had thrown around so carelessly, casually moved a few tables and chairs that didn't really need to be placed, closed the door of the upstairs bedroom, wiped his hair twice, and walked out of the bathroom.
I really regret agreeing to let Lu Zhiye come, although strictly speaking, this villa belongs to him.
But no matter what, he is the one living here now.
Suddenly, his steps froze.
What is he doing?
Lu Zhiye just came over, why did he really need to take a shower?
The full-length dressing mirror in front of him reflected Shi Jing's entire appearance. His bathrobe was tied half-way, and water droplets were still dripping from the ends of his short hair.
There was a look of confusion on his face, and perhaps a hint of inexplicable anger and shame in his face, which made the redness of his cheeks from the steam in the bathroom even brighter.
Turn on your phone.
Uninstall the AI software just now.
The action is done in one go, no thinking required.
He was about to turn off the screen of his phone when a WeChat message popped up on it.
【A-lzy: I'm fine.】
Shi Jing's hands trembled and he almost dropped his phone.
【A-lzy: Can I come over now? 】
Shi Jing: “…”
Can't.
Shi Jing stared at the words on the phone screen and the silly bird avatar that had nothing to do with WeChat's style for a few seconds.
type--
【Don't come here.】
Delete.
[Some other day——]
Delete.
[Wait another half hour——]
It's already fucking 10:40. Wait another half hour? What for?
After deleting and revising a line of words countless times, Shi Jing gritted his teeth, quickly typed out a line of words and clicked send - [Within 1 minute, if you can't come, don't come.]
The next second after the message was sent, the doorbell downstairs rang.
Shi Jing: “?”
He frowned in doubt, a guess popped up in his mind, but was suppressed by an even more unbelievable objection, and Shi Jing went downstairs.
The moment the door opened, this conjecture became reality.
Lu Zhiye stood a few steps down the stairs in front of the gate, with a WeChat chat box still open on the screen of the mobile phone in his hand.
It seemed as if he had not expected that he would come down to open the door so easily. When Lu Zhiye raised his head, there was still a hint of surprise in his black pupils that had not completely faded.
"I said one minute. From the time you sent the message to the time you rang the doorbell, it only took one second." Shi Jing asked, "When did you come?"
Lu Zhiye looked down at the time on his phone: "Half an hour ago."
Shi Jing: “?”
Half an hour.
Does this mean that Lu Zhiye has been standing downstairs waiting since he was taking a shower?
Shi Jing: "Didn't you just text 'You're okay' ten minutes ago?"
"Yeah." Lu Zhiye said, "I'm afraid if I don't send it soon, you won't let me come."
Shi Jing: “…”
-
The second floor of the villa.
Shi Jing led Lu Zhiye into the house. It was impossible for him to pretend not to see such a big man standing there.
But when he thought about what Lu Zhiye said before he came, he felt a little numb all over.
——Try holding hands first, and if you don’t hate it, try something else.
This sentence replayed in Shi Jing's mind almost exactly with Lu Zhiye's tone and voice.
roll.
Who wants to hold hands with Lu Zhiye?
How do you hold hands?
Just come up and hold my hand like this? That's too weird.
He couldn't just continue playing games while Lu Zhiye sat next to him and watched.
Suddenly, as if he smelled something, Lu Zhiye looked in a certain direction.
I noticed that he turned his head and looked towards the bathroom.
The scene froze.
Fortunately, before going downstairs, Shi Jing had covered up the incident that had just happened in this room, the bathroom, and the damn AI software, and had changed into another set of casual clothes.
You wouldn't be able to tell that he had showered a few minutes ago.
"What are you looking at?" He said with a calm expression, "That's my room."
Lu Zhiye turned his head and paused for two seconds at Shi Jing's face: "Nothing. It smells a bit fragrant."
Shi Jing turned his eyes away: "Fragrant?"
"It smells like some kind of perfume."
Shi Jing: "...Maybe it's the blanket you used last time."
Lu Zhiye blinked: "Blanket?"
Shi Jing: "Isn't it the one I covered after acupuncture? You put it in my room. It has the same fragrance as you..."
Shi Jing realized something was wrong and stopped suddenly.
But it was still too late.
Lu Zhiye: "Have you smelled it?"
Shi Jing: “…”
Shi Jing's expression changed several times.
Just before he was thinking about whether to kick or punch Lu Zhiye out, the person in front of him spoke again: "It might be shower gel. The aunt took that blanket by mistake when she was washing it before, thinking it was laundry detergent. It has the same smell."
"..." It's normal to smell something, but I don't know why it makes people blush in front of Lu Zhiye.
Shi Jing paused for a moment, then spoke in a stiff tone with a hint of other meaning: "It smells very strong. If you keep it in the room, the whole house will smell."
Lu Zhiye nodded, finally not intending to continue talking about laundry detergent and shower gel: "Put down the curtain, what do you want to see?"
Shi Jing was stunned for a moment.
He knew that there was a large electric screen in the room, which could be lowered to watch movies. It was very convenient.
Let’s see something with Lu Zhiye.
Sit on the sofa.
Shi Jing swallowed hard and acted very calmly: "Oh, sure, then you sit down."
We sat together.
Why does it seem even stiffer?
Is this sofa usually this soft? As soon as I sit on it, I almost want to lose my balance and fall on someone else.
And why does this curtain take so long to lower?
Shi Jing maintained a decent sitting posture, waiting for the projector in front of him to start working, and glanced at Lu Zhiye who was also sitting upright next to him.
He took the remote control, looked away from the love category on the homepage, and asked politely, "What do you want to watch?"
So we watched a movie first to get the atmosphere going.
It seems more reasonable.
But he hadn't watched many movies, let alone those romantic films.
Will there be that kind of scene...it's quite normal for adults to watch...
Shi Jing pursed his lips and couldn't help but glance at them out of the corner of his eye. He was so busy letting people in that he didn't even have time to turn on the headlights.
The room is dark now, and it actually has a dim atmosphere that is suitable for doing something.
For example, they suddenly hold hands while watching each other.
So he's going to get rid of it?
……Grass.
If you don't mind, you can just keep it as is.
But it’s still a little weird to see other people holding hands in intimate scenes.
...Why didn't Lu Zhiye have any other reaction at all?
It was he who suggested holding hands.
Wouldn't he feel... awkward at all to be in the same room with the person he likes late at night, watching a movie and holding hands?
Without waiting for Shi Jing to let his thoughts fly out of the universe, Lu Zhiye looked ahead.
After a few seconds, he turned around and said, "Want to watch the replay of last season's playoffs?"
Shi Jing: “?”
Shi Jing's expression almost faltered for a moment: "Playoffs—replay?"
"Hmm." Lu Zhiye paused for a second, "Or do you want to go straight to the quarterfinals?"
Shi Jing: “…”
look.
He'd be better off starting in the preseason.
no.
Is this what Lu Zhiye meant by love?
Like it, so you sit with him late at night to watch game replays?
Let’s talk about other players’ operations later. What the hell is the difference between this and post-match review?
Is Lu Zhiye playing a prank on him?
Did he forget what he said before?
Lu Zhiye had already opened the Apex game replay system and selected one of the quarterfinals of last season. He hesitated before clicking the cursor.
Shi Jing: "Are you sure you want to watch this?"
Lu Zhiye: "How about watching the top six?"
Shi Jing: “…”
damn it.
Shi Jing's face darkened completely, and he stood up to leave: "If you want to see it, go and see it yourself. You can watch it here all night without any problem - damn it!"
A hand pulled on his forearm. Shi Jingcai had just stood up and hadn't even stood firmly when he lost his balance and fell sideways.
He hadn't even finished his curse when his nose and face sank into the soft fabric.
The overwhelming mint shower gel wrapped in body temperature penetrated his five senses. His senses reacted faster than his thoughts. Before he had time to think, the smell of Lu Zhiye's body was already engraved in his brain.
No matter how much Shi Jing weighed, he was still the weight of an adult, and he hit the person so hard that the person who was used as a cushion groaned.
This sound seemed to hit Shi Jing's brain directly, completely waking him up.
"You--" He propped himself up and was about to explode.
My hands feel hot.
The outbreak was terminated.
Shi Jing lowered his head and looked at the hand that Lu Zhiye was holding.
His thoughts were confused for half a second, and when he came to his senses and was about to continue, Lu Zhiye let go of him first: "Did you bump into it?"
"...No." Shi Jing pulled himself out of the sofa cushions with a serious expression, "Didn't I bump into you?"
"I didn't hit you." Despite the loud noise and the impact, Lu Zhiye just casually pulled the hem of his clothes and looked at Shi Jing first, "Don't be angry."
Shi Jing: “.”
Lu Zhiye: "What do you want to see? I'll accompany you."
oh.
Now you know he doesn't want to watch the game replay?
But no one would read anything work-related at this time. Only Lu Zhiye was special.
Shi Jing showed no intention of turning back: "No need."
There was silence between the two of them for two seconds.
Lu Zhiye's sitting posture seemed to be more upright than before.
Or maybe not correct.
It's tight.
Shi Jing continued, "When you say holding hands, do you mean holding hands and watching the game replay?"
Lu Zhiye: “No.”
"and you--"
"I don't want to watch the replay." Lu Zhiye looked at Shi Jing. For the first time, he could see the calmness in his dark eyes, but there was also a hint of uneasiness hidden deep down. "I don't just want to hold hands."
Shi Jing: “?”
I can’t stop thinking about holding hands.
damn it.
He knew that Lu Zhiye had bad intentions...
More than just holding hands. What else do you want to do?
Is there any need to ask?
No need at all.
"I don't know what to look at." Before Shi Jing's face turned red again, Lu Zhiye continued, "Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll chase me away if I tell you."
There was no way Lu Zhiye was deliberately playing a prank on him.
Just like he said himself.
His long-standing love and desire for Shi Jing was so direct and intense that it was almost written in his eyes.
We can’t look at each other because we can’t hide it.
We can’t hold hands because once we do, I won’t be able to control myself.
Shi Jing lowered his head again and saw that Lu Zhiye's right hand, which had just held his hand, was placed at his side, opening and closing.
There was a slight, imperceptible tremor.
After a few seconds, Lu Zhiye lowered his eyelashes.
It seems that I still can't suppress it.
"Can you hold it again?"
Shi Jing: “…”
