59. Recurrence of hand injury
Is Lin Jiang really that fierce?
Shen Ju suddenly felt a crazy urge to test his bottom line.
He played a game right under Lin Jiang's nose. Lin Jiang glanced at him but didn't say anything.
After finishing the game, he started another round while Lin Jiang wasn't paying attention.
Lin Jiang was getting impatient. He stood up, walked around behind Shen Ju twice, and then returned to his seat, keeping a close eye on Shen Ju's hands out of the corner of his eye.
After he finished the second game, Lin Jiang finally spoke up: "Chen Ju, come with me."
The sound of suppressed laughter came from his teammates around him. They all knew that Shen Ju was about to be taught a lesson, and they were all watching the show from the sidelines.
Shen Ju wasn't afraid at all. He got up and followed Lin Jiang out. He was very curious about how Lin Jiang would scold him. Would he be like a little tiger? Awoo?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Before he could even walk over, a hand reached out from inside the room and pulled him inside.
In the dimly lit room, only Lin Jiang's outline was clearly visible. He was slightly turned to the side, and his cold gaze roamed over him, exuding a sense of asceticism and danger.
Shen Ju found himself unable to resist Lin Jiang's allure; he was already finding it hard to bear just being looked at so coldly by him.
He reached out to hug him, but Lin Jiang pinned his hand against the wall.
When Lin Jiang got angry, his grip tightened. His eyes darkened, as if he were looking at a disobedient child, and he warned him gently, "Can't you behave?"
His gaze was so cold, yet his voice was so gentle. The extreme contrast made Shen Ju swallow hard. He reached out to hug him again, but Lin Jiang used his knee to pin him against the wall once more.
His eyes were cold, and his fingers lightly touched the boy's earlobe, saying softly, "Here, disobedient puppies get thrown away."
Shenju couldn't take it anymore.
He really wanted to devour Lin Jiang.
He suddenly pressed Lin Jiang into his arms and kissed him deeply. The other man was still holding his collar, and he felt a suffocating sensation in his throat, but he didn't care. He kissed him even more fiercely, wishing he could die in Lin Jiang's hands.
Oh my god, this is so agonizing.
I can see him every day, but I can't eat him. Whenever I see him, all I can think about is him.
He turned around and pinned Lin Jiang against the wall. His body was already fully aroused, and he hooked Lin Jiang's tongue around, tasting only sweetness with every bite. He couldn't stop.
Lin Jiang didn't stop him. He waited for Shen Ju to calm down, then leaned against the wall, glancing at him with his slightly red lips, which made him look even more attractive.
His emotions, which had just calmed down, were instantly reignited. Shen Ju hugged him tightly, rubbing his neck against him, his breathing becoming heavier and heavier. He longed to be touched by Lin Jiang, but the other man just wouldn't touch him.
Finally satisfied, Chen Ju leaned on his shoulder and gently kissed his wrist, his eyes darkening. "Be good, don't leave me, I'll do whatever you say. I just wanted to see if you still cared about me."
Lin Jiang laughed, ruffling Shen Ju's hair, his voice gentle yet laced with malice: "If I didn't care about you, you would have been bedridden by now, do you think you'd even be able to touch me then?"
Shen Ju stared at him in disbelief. How could he say such a powerful thing in such a cold tone?
He kneaded her even harder, cradling Lin Jiang in his arms, and sighed contentedly, "Lin Jiang, you are so gentle, so gentle that it often feels unreal to me. Sometimes I just want to deliberately make you angry, to see your reaction. I really like you so much. As long as you give me a reaction, I will like it no matter what it is."
The puppy's daily confession, though late, always arrives.
Lin Jiang smiled without saying a word, his fingertips lightly touching the back of his ear, stirring up the other man's desire.
Shen Ju grabbed his hand, couldn't resist biting it, but then, not wanting to hurt him, he gave it a gentle kiss instead. "Stop teasing me."
Lin Jiang's voice came from above: "So, are you still going to obey?"
Shen Ju nodded, and, afraid that he couldn't see it, added, "Yes, be good."
"Just listen to me," Lin Jiang straightened his clothes and left as if nothing had happened, leaving Shen Ju gripping the handle tightly, desperately trying to calm his body.
He heard Song Zhixu ask Lin Jiang, "Where's Chen Ju? Why didn't he come out?"
Lin Jiang smiled and said, "He's crying. Let him cry for a while."
"Oh, Captain, are you really that ruthless?"
"No way, you actually made Shen Ju cry?!"
"What? Shen Ju is crying inside?"
"Holy crap, Captain, how did you do that? Teach me!"
Shen Ju: "..."
There's no way to refute it; there's absolutely no way to refute a single point.
He now believes Li Qian's words; when Lin Jiang gets ruthless, he's no match for him.
Shen Ju calmed down, pulled his hat down, and packed his things. Song Zhixu, who was next to him, kept looking down at him. "Shen Ju, did you really cry just now?"
Shenju: ...
I want to smash Song Zhixu's head in my head every day.
After a short rest, Shen Ju will also join everyone's training matches, but with Lin Jiang overseeing his training, he will have no other opportunities.
With the World Championship Finals drawing ever closer, online discussions about the match are in full swing.
South Korea was initially full of confidence for the World Championship, but unexpectedly, OT broke through the encirclement and stood on the same starting line as them.
This angered some netizens who believed that South Korea would definitely win the championship this year, and they launched an attack, saying that if HIT lost, all of them should retire and apologize.
On the contrary, LPL netizens are quite optimistic.
If OT can make it to the finals, they've already won half the battle. If they can also win the championship, that would be double the joy, even happier than celebrating the New Year.
[Haha, winning would be the real slap in the face.]
[If they win this, Lin Jiang will be a legend on the spot.]
[Winning against OT will put them on the list of legendary teams, and no team will surpass their status in my heart for at least 3 years.]
[Hilarious! If they win, I'll be a fan of them for life.]
[It's okay, TG has already redeemed themselves from the loss with OT, so I don't care about winning or losing.]
[The least nervous I've ever been during a finals match.]
[I felt completely unmoved; I even felt a little like laughing.]
Some trolls spewed nonsense online, but they were quickly silenced by the powerful online community.
OT itself has no experience, and there are no scrimmages to play this year, so they are already very surprised to have come this far, okay?
Even Ah Cai, the streamer who has been criticizing Chenju for years, had his live stream bombarded by many passersby, resulting in his live stream being banned for ten days, which just happened to coincide with the start time of the finals.
Domestic netizens are dedicated to clearing away all obstacles in public opinion for them, and even the official organizers and teams are cooperating with OT in training matches to fight against the enemy together.
Overtime work abroad is also on high alert.
Song Zhixu has officially increased his hero pool to 6, enabling him to adapt to all changes and lineups.
A Deng's mindset adjustment is also very good, and Zhang Mingying is also growing at an astonishing speed, frantically absorbing all the experience that can improve him.
Zhou Wen is on the path to breaking through the bottleneck in wireless technology. Recently, apart from training matches, he has been spending the rest of his time on comprehension.
Of all the people, Shen Ju was the one who worried Lin Jiang the most.
After playing two days of practice matches, his hand injury flared up again.
Lin Jiang personally took him to the hospital. At that moment, there were still 24 hours left before the start of the finals. With the hospital's emergency treatment, the pain was barely stabilized.
However, the situation should not be underestimated, because the doctor said that the treatment is only temporary and that Shenju's hand injury is very likely to recur suddenly in a short or long period of competition.
Lin Jiang looked at the medical record with a worried expression. He returned to the ward and saw Shen Ju taking painkillers. Because his hand was in so much pain, his movements looked particularly awkward, and he even had difficulty unscrewing a cap.
He offered to help, saying, "Let me twist it for you."
Shen Ju looked at him, swallowed hard, and swallowed the pill. "I took it."
Lin Jiang's grip suddenly loosened, and he looked at Shen Ju with some discomfort, seeing that Shen Ju was sweating profusely from the pain, and that his heart felt like it was being tightly pressed down by something, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Does your hand still hurt?"
Shen Ju nodded, feeling that lying was too obvious, and added, "It's okay, the doctor prescribed me painkillers."
The hand injury requires a long period of recovery, but they no longer have time for Shenju to recover, so he must persevere and finish the final competition.
As the team leader, Lin Jiang should tell him the truth.
However, out of selfishness, Lin Jiang couldn't bring himself to say it; he always felt it would be too cruel for him to say such things.
Perhaps it was because his gaze was too direct, but Chen Ju seemed to understand and slowly calmed down. "Did the doctor say it's serious?"
Lin Jiang glanced at the medical record in his hand, then looked at him. "The doctor said that if you put weight on your hand in the short term, it will relapse, and you will most likely not be able to finish tomorrow's match."
But what if you can't finish playing?
There is no substitute AD in OT.
Shen Ju paused for a moment, then suddenly understood Lin Jiang's sadness.
He really wanted to win the championship with Lin Jiang, so he trained too hard, exceeding his body's limits.
He looked down at the medicine in his hand. "It's nothing, the doctor prescribed painkillers."
Painkillers are not a panacea; at least they cannot replace Shenju's true hand speed. Moreover, Shenju exposed his hand injury during the semi-finals, and HIT will definitely drag the match into the late game indefinitely.
If Shenju makes a mistake, they will have a chance.
Tomorrow will be a fierce battle that even Lin Jiang is not confident of winning. It will fight until Shen Ju's hand injury relapses, until Lin Jiang surrenders, and until OT begs for mercy and suffers a crushing defeat...
This is so disappointing.
You've already come all this way...
The ward was eerily quiet. Chen Ju stroked the words on the medicine bottle, then suddenly clenched his fist tightly. "No matter what, please don't replace me, okay? Let me finish the match. I won't let you lose."
He looked up at Lin Jiang, and his gaze made Lin Jiang feel uneasy. "What do you want?"
Shen Ju shook his head, then suddenly walked over and hugged him, resting his head on his shoulder in comfort. "If I don't win this championship, I will really regret it for the rest of my life. I will regret it for many years to come... I will not let such a thing happen, Lin Jiang. Believe me, I will not let you lose."
Lin Jiang hesitated before hugging him back, a vague unease creeping into her heart.
