Chapter 9
The December night breeze was a bit chilly. Qu Xing, however, was still hot, his coat unbuttoned. The slight breeze from his skateboarding suddenly sobered him up.
Ling Yin walked slowly. Qu Xing circled around him on his skateboard. He emerged from behind, his hair gilded with a soft golden rim under the streetlight, fluttering gently before disappearing in front of him. The sound of the skateboard wheels was especially clear behind him.
The night was quiet, and the two, who had just met, tacitly agreed not to disturb the silence, yet strangely, they didn't feel awkward. The night breeze washed away the drunkenness, and they let the sound of the wheels continue to echo.
After spinning for who knows how long, Ling Yin finally felt dizzy. He stopped and closed his eyes, breaking the silence between them: "Aren't you dizzy?"
Qu Xing's voice came from behind: "Don't feel dizzy."
Ling Yin wanted to say he was dizzy. Suddenly, he realized he was dizzy because he had been staring at Qu Xing. He decisively shut up, waited for Qu Xing to turn in front of him, and found the perfect moment to step on his skateboard.
The skateboard stopped, but the person didn't. Qu Xing almost flew out, but it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in wrestling. Before Ling Yin could catch him, Qu Xing spun on the spot with great skill and stabilized himself. Then he looked at Ling Yin in shock: "Are you going to hurt your dear AD?"
Ling Yin retracted his hand that was hanging in the air: "I was planning to catch you."
Qu Xing imagined the scene: "...That would be like an idol drama."
Ling Yin nodded calmly: "That's right."
Qu Xing retrieved his skateboard and stepped on it under Ling Yin's gaze. Finally, he stopped spinning and instead walked slowly alongside him.
"I'm a little dizzy." Qu Xing realized belatedly.
Ling Yin: “…”
"The skateboard flew out, giving me a slow-motion shot in the air." Qu Xing was silent for a moment, then suddenly began to film with his mouth: "Then I swung my arm in a circle like this." He gestured with his arms, "Then he opened his mouth wide—oh, I'm going to fall, I'm going to fall, my eyes are wide open." He glared again: "In this moment of crisis, a man's strong hand reached out." Qu Xing looked at Ling Yin's hand hanging at his side: "It was indeed quite strong... Then he put his arm around my waist. Maintaining the difficult posture of about to bend down, he looked into your eyes affectionately."
Qu Xing turned his head. Ling Yin refused to meet his gaze. But the corners of his eyes curved into a beautiful arc, and he couldn't help but smile: "And then?"
Qu Xing: "And then we kissed..."
Ling Yin: “?”
The two of them thought of some scenes at the same time.
Fans are incredibly bold when it comes to pairing up a couple, daring to draw anything. When surrounded by people teasing me, I didn't feel anything. But now, in the dead of night, with all the messy art and drawings sharing the same space, I can't help but think of many things.
There was a moment of silence. Ling Yin thought Qu Xing was embarrassed and turned around to comfort him.
Qu Xing: “Fuck.”
Ling Yin looked at him.
Qu Xing put his arm around Ling Yin's shoulder, and the skateboard started to operate automatically under the external force. He clasped his hands together and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Ling, I shouldn't have teased you."
Is this teasing?
Ling Yin raised his eyebrows slightly and turned back.
"I was wrong." Qu Xing shook him: "Forgive me!"
Ling Yin's vision was blurred and he smiled: "Is this how you ask for forgiveness?"
Qu Xing said casually: "What do you want? I will apologize to you."
Ling Yin: “Hmm…”
Seeing that he was actually considering it, Qu Xing put his arm around Ling Yin's neck and said, "Do you really want to?"
Ling Yin was surprised: "Didn't you say you wanted to apologize?"
The hand on his neck suddenly tightened, and the furry head leaned closer. Qu Xing spoke slowly: "What crime have I committed?"
The breath was warm. Ling Yin tilted his head, trying to dispel the itch on his cheek, but he couldn't speak when he raised his head.
You can't just say "You've committed the crime of molesting me." That's too weird.
Seeing the person in front of him with a calm and beautiful face, hesitant to speak, made him feel particularly happy. Qu Xing laughed out loud: "Okay, Captain, to make up for my crime of teasing you, what do you want?"
Before they knew it, they were back near the restaurant. Ling Yin stopped, looking serious as he considered what benefits he could gain from this idol.
The light flickered slightly, and Ling Yin's head heated up. He said in a calm voice, "Let me tease you back?"
Qu Xing: “!”
Qu Xing, who has more than ten years of skateboarding experience and has almost become one with skateboarding, suddenly felt unstable without any external force.
This time, before Qu Xing could adjust his posture and land safely, Ling Yin took the initiative to steady him.
Qu Xing: “…”
Ling Yin only saw those bright eyes roll, glancing at him and then away. The weight on his hand suddenly vanished. Qu Xing quickly jumped away, looking at him with a curious gaze.
I hugged myself tightly, looking like "So this is what you intend for me."
Ling Yin withdrew his hand. With his eyes slightly curved, he looked away and saw the huge crowd pouring out of the door.
Le Anyi: "What are you two doing outside?"
"..." Qu Xing released himself. He stepped on his skateboard and slid back to Ling Yin, saying, "Nothing. We were just communicating."
Le Anyi narrowed his eyes: "What kind of feelings?"
Qu Xing: "Teammate bonding. Getting to know you guys in advance... our DL's gentle, handsome, and great captain."
“…”
The faces of several people in the team, including Zhou Si and the coach, seemed to be distorted for a moment, followed by a long silence.
Qu Xing: "What's wrong?"
Le Anyi: "Haha...nothing."
A very standard dry laugh.
Qu Xing tilted his head to look. Ling Yin's eyes were calm, and there was even a hint of a gentle smile at the corners of his eyes. He seemed completely clueless as to why the group had suddenly fallen silent. Looking back, he saw that the strange atmosphere still hung between them.
Qu Xing was confused: "What? What did I say wrong?"
Le Anyi glanced at the person behind Qu Xing and waved his hand, saying, "No, no, our captain is indeed handsome and great." Gentleness aside...
Qu Xing: “Oh.”
Le Anyi pushed Qu Xing: "Let's go, let's go back to sleep."
As Qu Xing was being pushed a few steps away, Le Anyi whispered to the person beside him, "Anyway, Dazzling will never see the other side of Ling Yin in her lifetime."
Jiang Lin agreed: "Indeed. After all, the treatment he receives as a male god is definitely different from ours."
Ling Yin, who heard the whole thing, said: "Huh."
“…”
"Oh! So cool!" someone suddenly shouted.
Qu Xing flew out again without knowing when. Ling Yin looked up and saw him falling from the sky with his board. He blew a kiss to this side and then flew over.
Zhou Si suddenly took out his phone: "Let's do it again."
Qu Xing immediately spun around handsomely. He slid forward for a bit, then suddenly jumped down with his toes. The longboard flew into the air, spun a few times, and landed with a clang. He stepped on it again, and surprisingly, the skateboard continued to move forward steadily.
A group of teenagers cheered.
Qu Xing spun sideways, circled back to the crowd, then turned and dashed off again, performing a dazzling longboard dance. His steps and longboard danced in perfect harmony, flowing like flowing water. Finally, he bent one leg, lifted the end of his skateboard high, and landed on two wheels, spinning four or five times in a circle.
It’s unclear whether these people were truly impressed by his handsomeness or were just a little overexcited today, but they turned into crazy fans of Qu Xing and shouted even more excitedly than Ling Yin, a real fan.
"Oh my god," Le Anyi stretched his head to look at Zhou Si's filming screen, "How come he is so awesome at everything he does?"
Zhou Si smiled and took a screenshot of the video and posted it on Weibo. The caption read: Welcome DL——Dazzling! ! ! ! 【Cheers】【Proud】【Show off】
The usually calm DL manager Siye is so uncalm!
That glimpse of Qu Xing during Le Anyi's livestream had already fueled online speculation for an entire night, and now the central figure in public opinion had finally appeared, still sporting such a handsome demeanor.
The young man in the video was a dashing presence, bathed in warm yellow light. His shirt swung back in the wind, his black hair flowing. Turning to the camera, his entire face was exposed, his eyes blazing with the same dazzling color as the Big Devil from six months ago. The DL members cheered loudly, especially Le Anyi, who was completely out of character. Ling Yin, though silent, kept his gaze fixed on Qu Xing, a smile overflowing with joy. Fans had never seen Ling Yin smile so happily before.
The bottom lane devil is really back!!!
The comments section went crazy:
——Now I understand why girls scream when they see their idols, I want to scream too! ! ! ! ! !
—Ahhhhhh my husband!
——EKN, your opponent is here
——Fuck, I finally met my CP (
——The strongest form of DL, I will eat if DL doesn’t win this year
——Two gods merge, EKN is over
——Oh my god, the Demon King is so handsome
Zhou Si looked at the carnival in the comment section for a while, then looked up with a smile on his face.
The teenagers who were still in an excited state had already surrounded him. Qu Xing moved flexibly in the crowd, and some of the team battle scenes during his competition inexplicably overlapped with his own.
He'd originally wanted to hold off on an official announcement for a few days, but the atmosphere was perfect. It was enough to make Dazzling's return an exciting one. Whether or not the hype in the comments section was exaggerated, at least the excitement was genuine.
As for how long this passion can last, Zhou Si just hopes it will last as long as possible.
I looked down at my phone and sighed for a moment, when suddenly there was chaos in the distance:
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! I fell, I fell!!”
"Catch him, catch him!!!"
"Protective hands!"
What the hell?
Zhou Si only felt his heart and liver tremble for a moment, and rushed forward with his legs.
"Don't move!" Zhou Si pushed through the crowd and said, "Let me see if anything is wrong. If anything, call 1..."
Zhou Si suddenly stopped talking, and suddenly looked disgusted: "Hurry up and get up, aren't you ashamed?"
Le Anyi sat on the ground, holding his buttocks. Seeing this, he felt wronged. "Fourth Master, what do you mean? Shouldn't you be concerned about whether your teammates are injured at this time? You're going too far!"
"Okay, okay." Zhou Si smiled and held out his hand: "Get up."
Le Anyi stood up and still wanted to covet Qu Xing's skateboard: "Let me try again."
His clumsy and heavy posture just now was still fresh in his mind. Qu Xing decisively refused: "No."
"I……"
Qu Xing: "Don't think about it, just play the game honestly."
Le Anyi: “…”
Qu Xing: "Your limbs seem to have something against you."
Le Anyi was shocked: "Really?"
Qu Xing stared at him with a serious expression: "Really, do you know what you looked like just now?"
Le Anyi: “…What.”
"Like a lump of black sesame paste that just grew legs."
What kind of metaphor is this?
Le Anyi was unconsciously led astray: "Black sesame paste doesn't have legs."
Qu Xing walked towards the car holding the skateboard: "Whatever, it's just a black lump anyway."
Le Anyi was shocked: "Did you just attack my skin color?"
Qu Xing paused: "...No, I mean you were wearing darker clothes."
"I'm wearing white!"
"Oh." Qu Xing calmly hid in the crowd, "I'm sorry."
"Qu! Xing!" Black Sesame Paste went crazy: "You've gone too far! Come here! I'm going to punish you!!!"
