Chapter 49: Jinjiang novel reading exclusive none of my business. ...
Shi Jing just ran away.
Leaving Lu Zhiye alone in the room, he threw away his backpack and rushed out.
The hotel booked by the event organization is very large, with an open-air atrium in the middle, which is built in the style of a garden inside the building.
Shi Jing breathed in the fresh air and stopped.
The phone in his coat pocket kept vibrating, but Shi Jing ignored it, walked to the big banyan tree in the middle, and found a stone to sit down.
There is a small fountain not far away with a few koi in the middle. A calico cat is squatting on the shore, originally looking at the fish, but when the scenery came, it turned its head.
The man and the cat looked at each other for a few seconds.
After a moment, Shi Jing wiped his face, feeling like a lunatic for staring at a cat.
He looked up at the hotel.
From this angle, you can only see the glass curtain wall of the outer room.
It wasn't the peak tourist season, so there was basically no one there except them. The glass was also one-way with anti-peeping function. When Shi Jing came out, he didn't notice whether their room was facing the street or the interior.
If he leaned towards the inside, Lu Zhiye would have noticed that he was looking up.
Oh shit.
Shi Jing changed the stone to one that could be completely covered by the canopy of the banyan tree.
He sat under the tree until the calico cat watching the fish shook its tail and walked away. Shi Jing was finally able to empty his mind, calm down and stop thinking about endless things.
He took out his cell phone.
【99+ new messages, from SFD group.】
[99+ new messages, from the loving siblings group.]
Two more pieces of new information came from Lu Zhiye.
Sent from a private number.
A-lzy: Where did you go?
What do you care where I go?
【A-lzy: Will you come back later? 】
Not coming back.
Even if he jumped into the goldfish pond right now, he would never go back to the double room.
Under the night sky, the wind in Yuejiang City was cooler than that in Yanhai, blowing up Shi Jing's short hair, revealing his brows as he lowered his head to look at his phone.
In an instant, he saw the look in Lu Zhiye's eyes when he stretched out his hand to him in the room, the breath that rushed into his nose at that moment, the itch caused by his fingers hooking the ends of his hair, and the subtle body temperature.
There was no part that was not ambiguous, and it all returned to his senses and his mind.
But Lu Zhiye never hid his feelings for him from beginning to end.
He was frank, and his eyes were overflowing with joy when he looked at Shi Jing, but after hearing what he said, he controlled the distance between them and his touch with restraint.
"..." Shi Jing stood there and let the cold wind blow for a while, then he put his phone back into his pocket and walked towards the elevator to his room in slippers.
The weather changed in the afternoon and strong winds blew, affecting many flights.
EVG arrived at the hotel later than the other clubs.
The EVG manager has checked the team members in and is distributing room cards.
The head coach stood aside, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and was about to light it when he looked up and saw a no-smoking sign on the pillar next to him.
Cursing in his heart, he put the cigarette back into the box with trembling hands.
With a "bang", two players next to each other knocked over each other's suitcases, and the head coach looked back.
Suddenly froze.
He wasn't looking at the players.
It was the young man who passed by the team members.
With his hands in his pockets, he walked casually and relaxedly, with his head slightly lowered, as if he was worried about something.
Not noticing anyone here, the young man walked straight past them and headed towards the elevator.
The brows that were half hidden by the short bangs were in a passing glance.
The whole person has an unrestrained aura.
The head coach was still in shock and quickly grabbed the player next to him: "Who is that person over there, walking over there?"
The team member was inexplicably pulled while helping to carry the suitcase, and then followed him to look in the direction the head coach pointed.
"SFD newcomer Sweet." He said, "What's wrong, coach?"
"What happened?" The EVG manager came over after seeing the commotion. "Is that new guy from SFD causing trouble?"
"No." The team member looked puzzled. "He never came over to our side. The coach asked me who that was..."
Is it SFD's newcomer Sweet?
He had seen the official announcement photo of this newcomer, and also saw the provocative video of him that was filmed by those bored reporters last time.
The video shows a child who is ignorant of the immensity of the world.
But was it him who just walked past? The same person?
"That is indeed SFD's newcomer Sweet." The EVG manager recognized her from a distance across the corridor. She was wearing the SFD team uniform jacket.
He was also confused by the coach's question and asked, "What's wrong?"
Could it be that during the few minutes he was away from the Internet, the newcomers of SFD made some attacking remarks against them like last time?
The EVG manager was about to take out his phone when the head coach came to his senses, watching the young man's back disappear into the closing elevator doors.
"It's okay." He pressed his brow and repeated, "Nothing happened."
Why did I suddenly think of that bastard?
He's clearly dead, but his ghost still lingers around.
And this new guy from SFD...
He didn't play much of the game, but he said a lot of dirty talk. He was just a newcomer in the circle, but he humiliated the champion coach.
And because of the difference in their status, it was impossible for him to openly argue with a child online.
The head coach's expression darkened, and he said to the manager, "Have you finished arranging them?"
Manager: "Yes, the rooms have been arranged."
"Then tell Smurf to pack his bags and come to me." The head coach was in a bad mood, and his tone was clearly unfriendly. "I need to speak to him privately about tomorrow's game."
-
The room was very quiet.
Shi Jing returned to the floor where the SFD team members were assigned. The corridor was noisy. Some of the guys from the second team had just come back after going out for a walk, and some were visiting each other.
But their room was silent.
Lu Zhiye was leaning on the sofa with his back to him, as if watching a video on his phone.
Shi Jing closed the door.
The further you go inside and get closer to the bathroom, the stronger the heat and the fragrance of shower gel become.
It was the same shower gel scent that he often smelled on Lu Zhiye before.
It used to be a refreshing smell, but now it's too strong. After inhaling the refreshing air into my nose, I was overwhelmed by a burning sensation that was so hot that it was almost scorching.
Shi Jing quickened his pace.
Hearing the noise, Lu Zhiye turned around.
The two met eyes.
Shi Jingcai saw Lu Zhiye wearing headphones and pajamas. He looked like he had just showered. The ends of his hair were still damp.
The lighting in the hotel was unlike that in the training room. The warm yellow light was almost invisible, making him less cold and distant than usual.
"..." Shi Jing looked away, but the burning sensation on his face from the hot air at the bathroom door had not yet disappeared.
Lu Zhiye took off half of his earphones: "Nian Nian still remembers you."
Shi Jing paused.
"Who asked..." He subconsciously wanted to refute, but stopped himself in the end.
Look back at the phone screen in Lu Zhiye's hand.
Inside was the surveillance camera in the house. Facing the bird's cage, a device like a heat lamp was turned on. The whole furry green ball was gathered together with its head buried in its wings.
Shi Jing took two steps forward and said, "Its head is no bigger than a thumb. How can it remember someone it only met once?"
"Yes." Lu Zhiye said, "Nian Nian has a good memory."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "It remembers you feeding it mangoes."
"?" That's called "hey"? It was clearly this bird that flew over and grabbed it.
Shi Jing stared at the golden-topped green mango on the screen, which had stopped preening its feathers and was now standing under the heating lamp to keep warm.
"Call it once, and it will remember your voice." Lu Zhiye said after a moment.
Shi Jing looked at the stinky bird that urinated and defecated on his hand.
After a while, he said, "No."
Lu Zhiye looked up.
"The name you chose is too stupid." Shi Jing turned his eyes away, "Change it."
Before Lu Zhiye could ask him what name he wanted to change to, the little parrot on the screen suddenly rushed towards the camera fiercely as if it heard him talking.
“Chichichichi!”
A series of rapid calls.
It also comes with its open wings and bloody mouth.
"?" Shi Jing narrowed his eyes, "What did it say?"
"..." Lu Zhiye was silent for two seconds, "He must be cursing."
Shi Jing: “?”
Shi Jing: "Who are you scolding? Me?"
Lu Zhiye blinked: "Yeah."
Shi Jing: “…”
"Bring this bird here next time," Shi Jing said, "let it know what it means to face the enemy head-on."
Lu Zhiye turned his face away, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down slightly.
Shi Jing thought he was going to laugh again, but then a phone call came in.
Lu Zhiye quickly switched out of the caller interface, so quickly that Shi Jing almost couldn't react to the notification that it was a phone call.
"Answer a phone call."
After saying that, without waiting for Shi Jing to answer, he directly took his coat, took his cell phone and walked out.
I stood there for a few seconds and heard the door close behind me.
Shi Jing frowned.
Changing face so quickly?
If he saw it correctly, Lu Zhiye had a cold look on his face when he walked out just now.
There was clearly no major change in expression, but Shi Jing could clearly feel the other person's emotions from that instant.
Lu Zhiye is a person who rarely shows his emotions.
This point is very clear.
never mind.
It doesn't matter.
Lu Zhiye’s affairs have nothing to do with him.
Shi Jing took out his cell phone to charge it, opened his suitcase, found a set of clothes and went to wash up.
After taking a shower, he was still the only one in the room. Shi Jing used the hotel's small hair dryer to blow dry his hair, leaned on the bed and slowly scrolled down the messages in today's WeChat group.
In several group chats, he was @ed at least five times.
Matt: Damn it, damn it, I can't stand this, why?! He betrayed his brothers!
[Your brother Dun: He just found a girlfriend. It has nothing to do with you.]
Matt: This is a big deal! Look at this bastard talking on the phone with his girlfriend, watching a video together, twisting and turning. Isn't that disgusting? Has the world become like this?
[Small assistant: Support justice video and post it to the group for public execution.]
[Ni Dun Ge: Support.]
[Is it Xiao Jiang Jiang? Who is it?]
[Matt: Who else could it be? Vally, that idiot.]
Is that Xiao Jiangjiang? Vally? The guy who plays flex? He has a girlfriend, and they're super sweet. Every day after practice, he goes back and plays sweet duo queue with her for hours, and they don't log off until the early hours.
Shi Jing didn't see any problem at this point.
[Ni Dun Ge: Wait, isn't he doing extra training every night when he plays duo? ? Isn't the person playing duo his teammate?]
Matt: Teammates? Seven or eight hours of practice every day isn't enough. Which teammate is worth you training with until one or two in the morning every night? And even with the most worthless duo queue? I want to train with you every night. Will you be my 'good teammate'?
[Your brother: Get lost.]
[Zhou Li-an: Isn't that the captain and Sweet?]
Matt: ?
[Is it Little Jiang Jiang? ]
【Small assistant:? 】
Shi Jing: “?”
The whole group fell into an eerie silence.
The subsequent chat content came ten minutes later, and was easily overshadowed by Matt's words, "That's Xiao Tiantian and Lu Shen competing for the glory of the double row competition for our club. How can they compete?"
Shi Jing: “…”
Shi Jing was about to go to the Late Night Shark, but Matt's heart calmed down a little.
Shi Jing threw his phone back onto the bedside table and checked the time.
It's almost twelve o'clock.
It took Lu Zhiye more than an hour from the time he picked up the phone to the time he left.
What kind of thing could take so long?
After looking at the door for a few seconds, Shi Jing thought to himself, "It's none of my business," and pulled the quilt over his face.
-
The next day.
SFD was about to win its first doubles championship, so almost everyone got up early.
When Shi Jing opened his eyes, the room was completely silent, and he was the only one left. The bedding on the bed next to him was folded, and there was no sign that anyone had slept there the night before.
He was stunned for a moment, then went to the bathroom in his slippers.
Seeing his sour face in the mirror, Shi Jing paused again.
wrong.
What does it have to do with him whether Lu Zhiye comes back to sleep or not? Even if he sleeps on the street, it is his own business.
The doubles finals started at 6 p.m. They still had a full day to prepare.
The fat manager sent the breakfast arrangements in the WeChat group, which was still the hotel buffet. Shi Jing arrived at the restaurant, but did not see Lu Zhiye along the way.
He grabbed some food and started to fill his stomach.
I ate a few mouthfuls of noodles in silence when the chair next to me was pulled away.
Keep two packs of snacks handy.
Familiar packaging.
Little Boss Nori.
It's still his favorite spicy flavor.
Shi Jing swallowed the noodles and raised his head.
Lu Zhiye sat down next to him: "I saw it sold in the supermarket next door."
"Oh..." Shi Jing looked at the silly old man grinning at the packaging bag.
For a while, he ignored the little emotion in his heart that came inexplicably and disappeared even more inexplicably.
He asked with rare concern: "Have you eaten?"
Lu Zhiye gave a brief affirmative answer: "Yeah."
After breakfast, the fat manager rushed to the restaurant and found Shi Jing, telling him that he would be interviewed about the game today.
For most newcomers, the formal pre-match interview requires more encouragement from the team, and they may also be asked to write a speech and memorize it in advance.
But Shi Jing is not an ordinary newcomer.
So the fat manager didn't come to him to encourage him: "Look, although the team doesn't force the players to say or not say anything in this segment, we also know what you said in front of the media last time..."
"Is there something wrong with what you said?" Shi Jing asked directly.
"No, no, no, it's not a problem." The chubby manager thought to himself that the pressure from the PR team was overwhelming, and it wouldn't be easy to explain here. "Maybe you should try to be a little friendlier in your language? Use more gentle words."
Jiang Yuan next to him was trying so hard to hold back his laughter that his expression was distorted.
Shi Jing listened and thought for two seconds.
"That's not up to me," he said. "It depends on how the other teams perform today."
The fat manager was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Shi Jing: "See if they suit my taste today."
It means it depends on his mood today.
Fat manager: “…”
The fat manager, not at all surprised by this result, coughed lightly and said to the PR team leader who had followed him, "Anyway, I've delivered my message."
PR team: “…”
Shi Jing finished the two packs of seaweed in less than a few minutes. He was very satisfied with the meal. After he finished eating, he put down the plate and found Lu Zhiye standing in the corridor outside the restaurant. He didn't know when he received another call.
His face once again turned into the same cold expression he had seen yesterday, and he pressed the elevator to go downstairs.
Seeing him walking towards this side, Zhou Li'an kindly said: "The captain seems to have something going on at home. Let's talk to him later."
Shi Jing frowned.
What kind of family matters need to be taken care of so soon before the competition?
"Oh, I saw it when I came up. It must be your captain's father coming to see him." LEO from the club next door came over and patted Zhou Li'an on the shoulder. "It doesn't look like anything good."
Zhou Li'an: "The captain's father?"
LEO paused. "I guess so."
"I've never met Brother Lu's parents." Jiang Yuan blinked. "What does the captain's father look like?"
Shi Jing had never met Lu Zhiye's parents.
I have never seen it in my previous life or this life, and I have hardly even heard of it.
So it was the same person who called last night? That's why Lu Zhiye suddenly became so emotional and didn't return to his room for so long.
Matt: "What else can he be like? A wealthy man. Master Lu was able to create a club, so how can his family be ordinary?"
"Your captain's club has nothing to do with his parents." Leo fully carried forward the old tradition of LA clubs living in gossip, "All these assets are his own."
Jiang Yuan: "Ah? How is that possible?"
LEO: "There's information all over the internet. You can check it out now. Your club was founded by your captain alone."
Jiang Yuan was stunned: "What about Brother Lu's mother?"
LEO: "Mom? Wild is a single parent."
Jiang Yuan and Matt were both stunned.
LEO realized he had spoken too much: "Okay, I thought you knew... I was also shocked when I first heard about it. But this doesn't affect the fact that your captain is a very charming person. Compared to his youth, outstanding appearance and tens of millions of assets, being single or not is nothing..."
"It's none of your business." Shi Jing suddenly stood up.
Without even looking at LEO and other teammates who were stunned behind him, he walked towards the elevator where Lu Zhiye was going downstairs without looking back.
