Chapter 34 Jinjiang Novel Reading Exclusive Face reddened with anger. ...
When we came, we didn't know how long they would be playing here, and we couldn't let the driver just wait, so we told him to call him to pick them up when they were done.
For some unknown reason, the driver was delayed on the way here.
The car was quiet with only the two of them in it.
Shi Jing heard his own breathing.
Maybe there is also Lu Zhiye's.
I don't know if there's a car diffuser in the car, but the faint mint scent and the slight hint of alcohol create a unique aroma, a constant reminder of the person next to him.
Lu Zhiye was looking at him.
Although he turned his head and didn't pay attention to the other person's appearance, Shi Jing could see Lu Zhiye half-leaning on the car seat through the reflection in the car window. From the beginning until now, his eyes had been fixed on him and had never moved away.
After drinking so many glasses of wine, shouldn't you fall asleep immediately?
A few minutes ago, she couldn't even walk and needed his support, but now she has the energy to stare at him? ?
Finally, Shi Jing couldn't sit still any longer.
The person on the other side of the car immediately moved, and in a slightly hoarse voice typical of drunkenness, asked, "Where are you going?"
Shi Jing: “…”
Doing what he should have done ten minutes ago.
Get off and leave.
Leaving Lu Zhiye here alone.
About five seconds passed before Shi Jing said in a harsh voice, "Go down and get some fresh air."
A second later, he added, "It's too hot."
Then he closed the car door with a bang.
Finally out of Lu Zhiye's sight, Shi Jing stood on the street late at night and exhaled. After a few gusts of the cold autumn night wind, he suddenly realized what was happening.
Grass.
It's almost time to turn on the heating in this weather.
What did he just say?
Too hot?
Shi Jing: “…”
It must be the smell of alcohol on Lu Zhiye that made him dizzy.
If he stayed by the car for another second, he would explode on the spot. Shi Jing looked around and found the only 24-hour convenience store that still had the lights on.
When he came in, he didn't know what to buy, so Shi Jing just picked up a bottle of mineral water.
After wandering around the small shop to the point where others would become suspicious if he stayed any longer, Shi Jing slowly walked to the cashier counter, took out his phone to check if there were any new messages in the group chat, but the driver hadn't replied yet.
He paused his finger on the screen for two seconds and clicked on the search engine.
Type in "What can I drink to relieve the pain after drinking alcohol?"
——Apple cider vinegar, yogurt, juice.
The answer popped up and he frowned.
"This bottle of water is two dollars and fifty cents. Do you want to buy anything else?" The cashier saw his hesitant expression.
"..." Shi Jing turned off his phone and stuffed it back into his pocket. He tilted his head and asked casually, "Do you have apple cider vinegar for sale?"
Auntie: "Oh, yes, this is it. It's just for the event."
Shi Jing was stunned.
He actually had two bottles and a huge special price tag next to him - apple cider vinegar, a healthy drink!
Shi Jing: “…”
Shi Jing: "Then take a bottle of this."
"This one?" The auntie pointed to the bottle on the left and asked with a smile, "Is this your first time drinking apple cider vinegar, kid? I recommend this one, which is a little sweeter. It should taste better."
The little boy Shi Jing paused.
Even stiffer.
sweet?
Lu Zhiye is so jealous that he's dying.
Shi Jing had a sullen face.
After a moment, he pointed to the sweeter bottle and said, "This one. Thanks."
-
When Shi Jing returned to the car, Lu Zhiye was leaning against the half-lowered chair, as if he had fallen asleep.
After all, I drank that much alcohol. It's impossible to say that there was really no effect at all.
He paused and closed the car door more gently.
The car was unlocked remotely, and perhaps because it hadn't been used for a long time, the ambient lighting and reading lights were off. Only the insignificant light filtering through the privacy glass allowed him to barely see clearly.
Lu Zhiye's sleeping position was not very stable.
The drunkenness that he hadn't noticed just now slowly crept up the side of his face. His brows were furrowed, and his short hair was pressed against the side of his headrest. His leaning posture looked a little messy.
Shi Jing could tell at a glance that it was impossible to sleep comfortably like this.
"Lu Zhiye."
He shouted.
This is the first time I see Lu Zhiye like this.
It's different from how he is in front of people and on the court.
How does he usually sit?
Even when playing games or sitting in the training room, he always sat the straightest. The most relaxed posture Shi Jing had ever seen him in was probably when he leaned slightly sideways after listening for a long time in the conference room.
He had never even seen Lu Zhiye supporting his head with his hands, let alone now.
There was no response, so Shi Jing called out again: "Lu Zhiye."
The person in the seat's breathing changed.
Very slowly, he turned his face.
In the dimly lit car, it seemed that I couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality.
Shi Jing met his black eyes for a few seconds, Lu Zhiye blinked and sat up.
"I thought you were gone." He said, and coughed again.
“…” Shi Jing turned on the lights in the car and the air conditioner, then tossed over the bottle of apple cider vinegar, which was said to be slightly sweeter. “Drink this.”
Lu Zhiye took it.
The whole bottle was a bit big in Shi Jing's hand, but it could almost fit completely in his hand.
Not knowing how accurate the current AI search is, Lu Zhiye took a few sips, and Shi Jing sat on the other seat and watched him.
"driver……"
"Lu Zhiye, have you ever thought about..."
They both spoke at the same time.
Shi Jing: “.”
Shi Jing added what Lu Zhiye was about to ask: "The driver will be here in ten minutes. Something happened over there, so he temporarily found a colleague to take over."
After hearing this, Lu Zhiye said "hmm".
"..." After being interrupted, Shi Jing slowed down and continued, "Before he comes, I want to ask you a few questions."
Lu Zhiye raised his eyes and looked at him.
Shi Jing took a deep breath: "You said before that you liked...my things."
Lu Zhiye stopped holding the drink.
At first, he thought Lu Zhiye must be joking and being abstract, and didn't take his words seriously at all.
But now…
But Shi Jing couldn't understand.
Putting aside personal factors, Shi Jing admitted that Lu Zhiye was an excellent person in all aspects.
His physique, looks, and a family background that suggests he could become a top club owner in the country if he opened one, plus his personal abilities... and perhaps even a business acumen that he didn't understand.
His personality...was also quite different from what he had initially thought.
Apart from being a bit clingy, everything else... is fine.
Shi Jing lowered his eyes and looked at his fingers.
At least there aren't as many injuries on these hands now.
Shi Jing pursed his lips and frowned briefly: "Why?"
Lu Zhiye: "What?"
"..." Shi Jing's face showed no emotion. He just turned his head away to avoid Lu Zhiye's gaze.
"There's nothing about me that's worthy of your like," he said.
No matter whether Lu Zhiye likes men or women, they will not be people like him.
Lu Zhiye was silent for a while, then raised his head and said, "You are the world champion."
Shi Jing let out a sigh.
"So?" He raised an eyebrow. "You like world champions?"
Lu Zhiye didn't say anything.
Shi Jing: "Then you should watch more swimming competitions. There are more world champions there, which should also suit your taste."
"But you're not a world champion swimmer."
“…” Do you even need to tell me that?
If he had gone swimming in that state, he would have collapsed in the pool within three years. He would have become a heavyweight in swimming history – a swimmer who drowned.
Before Shi Jing's thoughts could wander to a more boundless direction, Lu Zhiye added, "I just like watching you compete."
Shi Jing: “…”
Shi Jing's ears exploded: "Did you understand what I said?"
There was some doubt in Lu Zhiye's eyes.
Shi Jing: “…”
Shi Jing said expressionlessly, "I'm not the glamorous world champion you imagine, nor am I the talented player you hear people say I am on the internet."
Lu Zhiye: "You are."
"I'm not." Shi Jing said, "Lu Zhiye, I'm different from you. I don't have a wealthy family, no family or friends, and I'm not some perfect breakthrough player as the media says."
"If you're attracted to that world champion Zeit, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth like you... a child of destiny. Then you can stop now."
Facing Lu Zhiye's black pupils, Shi Jing paused for half a second and continued.
"I'm not as good as you think."
"I don't know when you started liking me, but I'm not a natural talent, and it has nothing to do with the fancy words I hear online. Before officially playing in the league, I played in all sorts of crappy little tournaments, using a twenty-yuan keyboard from an internet cafe and wearing tattered headphones that were patinaed by other people. I'd practice all night long, eating a bucket of instant noodles for three meals a day, all for the three hundred yuan internet cafe bonus."
Having said this, Shi Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Almost there.
This should have touched upon the eldest young master's blind spot in knowledge.
I guess this kind of low-level life will have a great impact on his soul, and he will need some time to accept it.
It doesn't matter whether he accepts it or not.
Since it was already like this, Shi Jing decided to be more ruthless: "I still don't take a shower. I've been hanging out in the internet cafe for days, and I smell like cigarettes."
"You washed." Lu Zhiye said suddenly.
Shi Jing: “?”
Lu Zhiye didn't know when he changed his sitting position and looked at him: "You showered, Chifeng Internet Cafe, there is a private guesthouse across the street, but it's full. You can only go to the convenient chain hotel across the street."
Shi Jing was stunned.
Lu Zhiye: "That hotel just happened to have an anniversary event, single rooms are half price."
Shi Jing opened his mouth.
Lu Zhiye: "You booked three days straight and even got two free breakfasts. The combined room rate was cheaper than the guesthouse across the street. Before you left, you even said at the door, 'With the IQ of this hotel owner, it's going to go bankrupt in two years at most.'"
Shi Jing: “?”
Shi Jing: "How do you know?"
etc.
damn it.
Shi Jing looked at Lu Zhiye.
Could it be that...
"The hotel is still operating," Lu Zhiye said, his voice lightly confirming his suspicions. "It's now expanded by two floors."
Shi Jing: “…”
The situation was frozen.
Lu Zhiye met his gaze with dark eyes.
Shi Jing thought of something: "You were an adult then? You could run a hotel?"
"No." Lu Zhiye paused for half a second, "At that time, it was considered an agent."
“…”
Shi Jing gripped the armrest of the seat.
"You..." He said with difficulty, "Then you then...?"
Lu Zhiye blinked: "No."
Shi Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
Before he could finish, Lu Zhiye continued, "The first time was when you were in high school, your first game."
Shi Jing almost choked to death on his own breath.
"You skipped class." Lu Zhiye said, "It's a black internet cafe next to Nanlin No. 1 Middle School."
Shi Jing coughed violently.
Lu Zhiye: "It's a light blue and white school uniform. Your jacket got caught on the steel bars when you were climbing over the wall, and it got torn."
"You can fucking see this?"
Lu Zhiye's Adam's apple rolled.
"Yeah," he said softly, "I didn't know you were going to play in the game."
"?"
"I just saw you and thought you were... pretty."
"?"
"The waist is very thin. The legs are very long."
"?"
"I thought you were a dancer... or a sports student." Lu Zhiye's long eyelashes fluttered slightly. "I followed you to the scene and found out you were playing in an e-sports competition."
"You only came in third in that game."
At that time, there was no four-player mode, only three-player competition. Several teammates in the temporary group did not play well and lost to the college students next door.
Lu Zhiye recalled, "The second-place finisher at the time was the internet cafe owner's nephew. He mocked another player on your team who was playing Lifeline, gave him the middle finger, and called him a sissy. You said you didn't want the bonus, and told that person to play solo with you. The loser would kowtow and apologize to the winner."
"That guy didn't win twice and ran away under the pretext of going to the bathroom."
Shi Jing: “…”
"Your face was red with anger."
"?"
Lu Zhiye turned his gaze to his cheeks and paused for half a second: "That's when I also discovered... your hands are very small."
"?"
"After you make a fist, it will be covered by your sleeve."
"?"
“…”
Shi Jing clenched his fists: "If you say one more word, I'll let you know how hard I can hit you with my fists."
Lu Zhiye stopped talking.
The belated driver finally arrived at the most inopportune moment and opened the car door.
"Oh, sorry, sorry, I just received a notice from my colleagues. I kept you waiting for so long." He quickly adjusted his seat and fastened his seatbelt after getting in the driver's seat. "I'll take you back to base right away."
After he finished speaking, there was no response.
The driver hesitated for a moment, then turned around. “Um… guys, are we going back to base… right…?”
The ending tone is trembling.
SFD's car is a large SUV.
There were two people in the back seat... one was sitting very straight, and the other was sitting with his upper body as straight as a pen.
If he saw correctly, the person behind him had a very red face.
Staring at the person on the left.
It looked like it was about to pounce and kill the person with a shark in the next second.
"Send him back to the base." Lu Zhiye said after an unknown amount of time.
Shi Jing didn't say anything.
The driver nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, are you going back to Binhai?"
Binhai is the home that Lu Zhiye often returns to recently.
"Um."
The car body starts.
A century.
Shi Jing felt someone poking his left arm.
He turned his head.
Facing the phone screen that Lu Zhiye pushed towards him.
——【Then can I still like you? 】
Shi Jing: “…”
