Chapter 18018 Full Moon
The way back was peaceful and gentle. The night was long and the lights were bright, but it concealed an unknown turbulence.
The moment the door was closed, blocking out the light from outside, Xu Tingwan wanted to turn on the light but was stopped by Chi Du. A touch of warmth fell on the corner of her eyes, then on her cheek, lips and ear.
Darkness always makes people instinctively alert, and all their senses become extremely sensitive. Xu Tingwan can clearly feel how gentle Chi Du's kiss is, and can also hear how disordered his breathing is.
She seemed to be able to predict Chi Du's next move. Her eyelashes trembled and she stood on tiptoe in response.
Feeling the agreement from the person in front of him, Chi Du closed his eyes and hugged her.
The sudden action made Xu Tingwan a little confused. She did not reject Chi Du's behavior towards her, nor did she feel uncomfortable, but now he stopped inexplicably.
"What's wrong?" Xu Tingwan poked his head out.
Chi Du said hoarsely: "Are you hungry? Can I go make you a bowl of noodles?"
Xu Tingwan: “…”
She knew he wasn't a frivolous person, but Xu Tingwan was. She was just letting things flow naturally, so why stop and add to her worries? If she stopped here today, she would definitely overthink it later.
She thought so and did so, her hands began to move to unbutton his clothes.
Chi Du was stunned for two seconds before pressing her hand. "Xu Tingwan."
It was a rare occasion that I called her full name, but it didn't give any deterrent effect.
Xu Tingwan kept moving to respond, "What's wrong?"
Seeing her pretending to be innocent, Chi Du held her hand tightly and slowly lifted her chin. His charming tone made Xu Tingwan lose her mind, "Do you want me?"
Xu Tingwan blinked in the darkness, and then she felt her center of gravity shift and her whole body floated into the air. She screamed and hugged Chi Du's neck, feeling him leading her into a room, and then gently placing her on the bed. The smell in front of her was briefly vacant, but was filled again in less than two seconds.
"I'll ask you again, do you want me?"
His forehead rested lightly against hers, his breath on her face was ambiguous. Xu Tingwan's eyelashes trembled, and she hugged his neck, pushed him down and kissed his lips.
Silence seems like sound.
When a storm is about to come, it always appears calm first, making people relax their vigilance, but when the moment really comes, they panic and run away.
The window was not closed, and the wind blew from time to time, making a clicking sound, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, sometimes continuous, and sometimes stopping.
There are few trees here, and you rarely hear cicadas chirping in this season. The only sounds that make people think a lot are like suppressed crying and anger.
After an unknown amount of time, the light above her head came on. Xu Tingwan put her hands on her eyes and refused to speak. The person in front of her picked her up and carried her into the bathroom.
There was a sound of rushing water, and the window made a noise.
The moon was hanging in the sky, and the lights above her head made her dizzy. Xu Tingwan lay on the bed and looked at someone resentfully. He was cheerful, pouring water for her and cooking for her. He didn't look tired at all.
After finishing everything, Xu Tingwan's eyelids began to droop. She looked at the time and saw that it was already three o'clock in the morning. Fortunately, she didn't have work the next day, otherwise she would definitely blame Chi Du for being too harsh.
A lump sank beside him. Xu Tingwan hugged him and buried her head in his chest, saying sullenly, "Why aren't you tired at all?"
Chi Du chuckled and asked, "Tired? Go to sleep now?"
Xu Tingwan's eyes widened immediately. "I'm not tired. Chat with me."
"Then let's talk about our first meeting." Chi Du looked at her and smiled.
Xu Tingwan was puzzled, "First time?"
"That might be your first time as an executive referee, and you might not be familiar with many of the procedures."
His voice was slow and reassuring.
Xu Tingwan propped up her face with her hands and looked at him, "I remember now, but how did you know that was my first time on the scene?"
"You really don't remember?"
Xu Tingwan thought about it and finally shook his head.
"I got a yellow card that day for adjusting the volume by mistake. It was you who gave it to me, but you were in such a hurry that you even gave me the wrong notice. It was me who reminded you." Chi Du looked at her.
Xu Tingwan remembered that it was her first time on stage that day and she was very nervous. She could have had a peaceful day, but Chi Du accidentally adjusted the volume and shattered her desire to slack off. She was a little panicked for a moment.
After this incident, she blamed herself for a long time. The final way to save the relationship was to cover it up with more perfection. Over time, the incident was gradually forgotten.
Xu Tingwan immediately lay down and covered himself with the quilt. "I could have slacked off all day, and you told me to turn up the volume."
The mobile phone settings on site are all debugged, and players are not allowed to adjust them privately, otherwise they will be given a yellow card like he was.
Chi Du leaned over to look at her, "I'm nervous when you stand behind me."
Xu Tingwan tightened the quilt, "You..."
"right."
He answered decisively.
"It was love at first sight."
Chi Du added.
"So I have liked you for a long, long time."
Xu Tingwan blinked at him. The information came so fast and so urgently that she couldn't digest it for a moment. "Why?"
It’s not that she doesn’t believe in love at first sight, she just thinks it’s a bit hasty.
"I don't know. Back then, I would feel very nervous when I saw you, and I would also inexplicably look forward to your appearance. Sometimes when you didn't come, I would also think a lot. At that time, I didn't think about anything else. Now it seems that this is love."
"I later found out about your relationship with my mother, but I had no reason to look for you. I was even more afraid that this sudden action would offend you, so I thought I'd just keep it hidden in my heart. It's no big deal. Once you get used to it, you won't be extravagant. Later, after all the twists and turns, I actually had a relationship with you."
"Tell me, is this a gift from God?"
Xu Tingwan's eyes sparkled, the corners of his mouth turned up, and his eyes curved, "You and I are destined to be together."
Chi Du kissed her, this kiss was without any lust, and was completely gentle.
But gradually, it changed inexplicably.
Xu Tingwan tried to provoke him with a funny intention, touching his ears, his Adam's apple, and patting his abdominal muscles. Every action was challenging Chi Du's bottom line.
Of course, it finally happened as she wished.
After realizing that she had gotten away with it, Xu Tingwan begged for mercy without blinking, but she had used this trick too many times that night. At first, it would make Chi Du feel pity for her, but after using it so many times, Chi Du realized that sometimes she did it on purpose, so he didn't leave her any room for mercy.
"I'm going to give you a yellow card warning."
The person in my arms let out a very light laugh, which was long and lingering.
"The yellow card is invalid, sister."
Then she heard the words she least wanted to hear that night -
"Why not beg me again."
*
The next day, when Xu Tingwan woke up, it was already afternoon and the seat next to her was empty. She rubbed her eyes and got out of bed, but suddenly knelt on the ground.
Only then did she realize that the clothes she was wearing were not her pajamas. Her shirt was too loose and barely covered her when she was kneeling. She didn't have many buttons buttoned. Her legs were sore, and the pain reminded her of the mess of last night.
At the beginning, Chi Du was young and inexperienced, and he would ask her before doing anything. As long as she cried out in pain or discomfort, Chi Du would stop without hesitation.
But he learned so fast that the pace gradually shifted to Chi Du's hands.
The scene was really hard to describe. Xu Tingwan slapped her face with her hands. Chi Du happened to come in and saw this scene. Without saying a word, he picked her up and carried her into the bathroom. She was placed on the sink, and the person in front of him had a smile on his face.
Chi Du lowered his head to look at her knees, wanting to see if she was hurt from the fall. Girls have thin skin, and there was a small red spot on her knees.
"Why didn't you call me when you woke up?" Chi Du rubbed her knees and went to see her.
Xu Tingwan placed her hand on his elbow, curled her lips and turned her head away, "It's not like I can't walk by myself, why did I ask you to come..."
She heard a very light laugh, and a blush instantly appeared behind her ears.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Xu Tingwan blinked and looked at him, "What?"
"I went a little too far yesterday. Sorry."
“…”
Listening to his serious apology, Xu Tingwan felt so embarrassed that she didn't know where to look. Finally, she wanted to jump down and almost fell down, but was picked up by Chi Du. After she stood firm, the first thing she did was to chase him out.
"Can I do it myself?" Chi Du was really worried.
"Sure!" Xu Tingwan said gritting his teeth.
*
This meal was neither good nor bad. It was too late for lunch and too early for dinner, so everyone had their own thoughts when eating.
Chi Du served her some soup, and Xu Tingwan asked him when he would go to school.
"Number 30."
Xu Tingwan took a sip of soup and nodded, "It's still quite early."
But there were only a few days left before school started, and Xu Tingwan hadn't finished what he wanted to do, but he didn't know how to start.
Chi Du raised his eyes and looked at her hesitant expression, then curled his lips and continued the conversation with her, "Why? You want to throw it away after using it?"
Xu Tingwan's eyes widened instantly, "You, you, you! Eat your food!"
…
In the evening, Xu Tingwan reviewed the materials for the upcoming meeting. The coffee table and the sofa were covered with folders and bound papers. Chi Du sat in a small space next to her, quietly playing with his mobile phone.
Xu Tingwan looked out the window. It had been raining these past few days, and the rare sunny days were also a harbinger of the storm.
She opened her phone and stared at the page in a daze. Those were the tickets for WG's home game this weekend. She didn't know what Chi Du was thinking at the moment, and she didn't dare to tell him rashly, for fear that he would be unhappy and disappointed.
Chi Du looked away from the page on his phone, looked at her in a daze, and moved closer to her. "What's wrong?"
Xu Tingwan quickly stopped watching him and smiled, "It's okay."
Chi Du looked at it briefly for two seconds and then smiled, "Want some fruit? I'll go cut it up."
Xu Tingwan immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I still want to drink juice."
"It's too cold." Chi Du turned around and looked at her.
"No, no, I want to drink it."
“…”
The room was filled with laughter, the light and shadows were hazy, and everything was beautiful.
*
The weekend came in the blink of an eye. I really didn’t do anything serious this week, just playing.
The sun is high in the sky on Sunday, which means that today will be a good day, but the daily life of a corporate slave is to read literature and materials to increase vocabulary, so I feel a little helpless.
Chi Du is quiet. No matter what Xu Tingwan does, he will quietly stay by her side without disturbing her. Sometimes he will cut a fruit plate for her, and sometimes he will play with the chain on her clothes. He never stops making small moves.
She was wearing a goose yellow dress today, with a thin chain around her waist, and the thin necklace around her neck was a gift from Chi Du. Even though she stayed at home, she could still dress herself up beautifully.
Maybe I was a little worried today.
Xu Tingwan's state seemed to have returned to that night, she was absent-minded and hesitant to speak. Chi Du saw it all. He walked up to her, held her hand and said with a smile, "Are you tired?"
Xu Tingwan nodded, "A little bit."
"Then come out with me?"
Xu Tingwan's eyes lit up instantly, and he agreed while standing up to pack his things.
Seeing her anxious look, Chi Du also smiled along with her.
Seeing that he didn't move, Xu Tingwan directly pulled him up and said, "Don't just stand there."
The sun was a bit strong outside, but compared to what Xu Tingwan had to do, it was nothing.
There was still half an hour before ticket checking, and Xu Tingwan found a way to take Chi Du to the e-sports center, as if to test Chi Du's attitude bit by bit.
"Do you want to go play over there?" Xu Tingwan pointed in front of him.
Chi Du looked at the e-sports center not far away, and looked at her with helpless and gentle eyes. Xu Tingwan thought he didn't like it. Just as she was about to change her words, she heard his voice carried to her ears by the wind, "Sister, come with me to watch a game."
Xu Tingwan was stunned. Chi Du pinched her face and continued, "Just think of it as accompanying me back to take a look, okay?"
Xu Tingwan couldn't suppress a smile on his face, "Well... well then."
When checking tickets, Xu Tingwan took out her ticket very casually, with a playful and cute expression. When she sat down, Chi Du whispered to her that she could actually go to the inner field through the employee passage.
Xu Tingwan tilted his head and asked him why he didn't say it earlier, and Chi Du responded with a look of wanting a beating -
"My sister didn't ask me."
Xu Tingwan didn't bother with him. After chatting for a while in his seat, the show started. The atmosphere gradually became lively as the contestants entered.
WG's jungler Mirari also moved behind the scenes to become a coach. If it were in normal time, only one year would have passed, but if it were in KPL, that would be four seasons. A lot can change in four seasons. The players you are familiar with may retire after this game, and the team you are familiar with may not even make it to the playoffs this season.
The arena is changing rapidly, and the only thing that remains unchanged may be the players' love and cherishment for e-sports.
This is the case with WG. After two seasons of personnel rotation and the departure of the coach, the players who used to sit on the field also stood behind them, and WG also ushered in their most promising season.
The BO5 format was actually very fast. Although the opponent was strong, WG, which was on the rise, was still able to withstand it and finally won the game 3:1.
After the competition, the audience began to leave one by one. Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise from the crowd, and everyone looked in their direction. Xu Tingwan saw the two of them nakedly facing each other on the big screen. Chi Du wanted to leave with his hat on, but because of the cry, everyone around him stared at him curiously.
"This...this...this...isn't this Polaris? Oh my god!!"
The host reacted and started to maintain order at the scene. A staff member walked towards them and led them to the backstage. Xu Tingwan wanted to blend into the crowd and hide, but Chi Du pulled his hand and helped him leave.
When they got backstage, Mirari put her arms around his neck and asked him why he didn't tell her he was coming.
Chi Du smiled happily, but did not give a direct answer: "This is my girlfriend, Xu Tingwan."
Mirari had a devilish smile, but when she saw Xu Tingwan, she immediately put it away and went to shake her hand. "Hello, sister-in-law, I'm Mirari, my real name is Gu Lanchuan."
Xu Tingwan smiled and nodded, "Hello, I'm Xu Tingwan."
Mirari quickly made arrangements, and all his teammates immediately came over. "Will you join us for dinner today?"
“…”
*
Xu Tingwan and Chi Du walked hand in hand on the side of the road, talking and laughing all the way.
"Chi Du, just now... why didn't you go to the dinner party? I saw that they missed you too."
Chi Du lowered his head. "Their team of five talented players is in a critical period of running-in. I'm going there to put pressure on them. After all...your boyfriend just watched the game, and I can't stop him from saying anything unpleasant."
Xu Tingwan smiled and said, "Then let's interview the eight-time champion shooter. What do you think of their performance?"
Chi Du stopped and took her hand, bringing it to his lips. "The team we played against wasn't very strong. There's nothing to be proud of about winning, but there were a lot of small mistakes, and we were almost overturned many times. Gu Lanchuan scolded them privately a lot, and it's inevitable that they will be beaten soon."
Xu Tingwan immediately stopped smiling. "Ah, you said Mirari would review the situation with them during dinner? How can they still eat then..."
Chi Du pinched her face and said, "Esports is cruel. There are many people who want the opportunities you don't want. These five people are getting on the right track, so they are bound to get scolded."
"Then you..."
"I knew everyone in my previous team well. The coach also provided training at the beginning, and things got better after we got used to each other."
"Why didn't you go to the dinner party before?"
Chi Du pursed his lips and chuckled, "The coach will tell us that if we don't have anything to do this time, we can take a leave, but if we have to review the game and get scolded, we can't be absent."
Xu Tingwan immediately curled her lips and said, "It's not easy. It's not easy for everyone."
Laughter and joy seemed to have become an indispensable part of their relationship. Whenever the two were together, everything seemed to become happy.
For example, the trees on the roadside. Before, Xu Tingwan would think that there was nothing beautiful about them. Now, she would point at the tree and say to Chi Du why it was getting uglier and uglier. She would point at the wild flowers everywhere on the roadside and say that they were so beautiful that she wanted to take them home. She would also look up at the moon and stars in the sky and sigh at their beauty.
All ordinary things become lovely in their eyes.
When they got downstairs, Xu Tingwan wanted to go up the stairs but Chi Du pulled him back and hugged him. The fresh fragrance that hit her face made Xu Tingwan stunned. Then he slowly patted his back and asked him softly what was wrong.
Chi Du hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood, "Xu Tingwan, thank you."
Hearing this, Xu Tingwan smiled with relief, "The moon is beautiful today, and the game is great. Are you happy?"
Chi Du let her go, "Are you happy, sister?"
Xu Tingwan immediately smiled and said, "Happy! Of course I'm happy! When am I not happy?"
Chi Du tucked her hair behind her ears, his eyes full of tenderness and affection, "Then I'm happy too."
