66. The consequences of Lin Jiang's anger
Shen Ju's treatment was very painful, but his condition did stabilize afterward. However, the doctor was not Shen Ju's attending physician, so he could only provide some emergency treatment. To completely cure him, he would have to go back to see Dr. Cen.
Dr. Cen's philosophy has always been conservative treatment; he has never used any strong medication on any of them. If he finds out that Shen Ju had received a nerve block injection when they get back, he will probably be very angry.
Lin Jiang was also very angry.
He just didn't let it show.
He looked at Shen Ju as he walked out of the treatment room. "Does it hurt?"
Shen Ju shook his head like a rattle drum, when suddenly a force grabbed his collar, and in a dizzying moment, Lin Jiang had already dragged him to the stairwell.
The first time he realized how terrifying Lin Jiang's anger was was.
A ray of light shone on Lin Jiang's face in the dimly lit stairwell. His eyes were cold, and he exuded a chilling aura and the smell of smoke, making him seem both unfamiliar and dangerous.
"Shen Ju'an, I've said before that disobedient puppies are to be thrown away. Do you want to be thrown away by me?"
Shen Ju shook his head vigorously, pitifully got up and tried to hug him, but before his hand could touch him, Lin Jiang pressed him against the wall forcefully.
"So, if there's a next time, you know what the consequences will be."
Shen Ju nodded vigorously. He was truly terrified. It turned out that Li Qian was absolutely right; Lin Jiang was indeed terrifying when he got angry.
The pressure on his hand finally loosened a little. Shen Ju wanted to hug him to soothe his wounded heart, but as soon as his hand touched his shoulder, it was immediately slapped away by him.
Lin Jiang pinched his chin and warned him, "Since you're disobedient, and I can't bear to really throw you away, I've decided that you won't be allowed to see me for the next two weeks. Got it?"
Shen Ju finally understood what it meant to feel pain only when the knife was stuck in your skin, and he finally resisted, "No, this is not allowed! Hey, Lin Jiang! Come back and explain yourself!"
Lin Jiang ignored him completely, put his hands in his pockets, and left the hospital on his own, walking into the night.
At this time, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and his phone was ringing off the hook, but Lin Jiang didn't move and just walked forward without saying a word.
Shen Ju thought that as long as he won the championship, Lin Jiang would forgive him. He didn't expect him to be so angry.
He followed behind, trying to defend himself: "That injection is only given once, there won't be any side effects, I've consulted a doctor."
The person in front finally stopped; it was a traffic light.
Shen Ju quickly followed and stood next to him, whispering to shift the blame: "Besides, Lao Du also said that hitting me once is nothing. I'm already 19 years old, my bones probably won't grow any further..."
After he finished speaking, he secretly glanced at the people next to him.
He saw that Lin Jiang's nose was red on his indifferent face, and then he took a sniff.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Chen Ju hugged him tightly. "Lin Jiang, are you crying?"
When the green light came on, Lin Jiang pushed him away.
Before he could take a step, he was hugged by Shenju Xiong again.
The puppy's voice trembled slightly: "Lin Jiang, don't cry, it's all my fault..."
The person in front of him raised his hand and slammed it down on him. Lin Jiang's cold voice came from above: "Did you hit me in the forehead with a scalp injection? I'm freezing. I've been waiting outside for two hours. Do you think I'm cold?"
Even though Shen Ju's head was about to be knocked off, he still clung to him tightly.
He wasn't afraid of Lin Jiang getting angry; he was only afraid of Lin Jiang ignoring him. As long as Lin Jiang responded, he would be willing to be beaten up even if it meant getting a severe beating.
He grinned broadly and leaned closer, saying, "I know you're angry because you care about me. Hitting someone is a sign of affection, scolding someone is a sign of love, I understand."
Then Lin Jiang shoved his head away, saying, "If you stick to me again, I'll throw your head into the fishpond."
hiss……
Lin Jiang's grip is really strong.
The two returned to the press conference venue. Duren was so anxious he was about to explode, but upon seeing Lin Jiang's indifferent face, his arrogance immediately subsided. "You're back? Is your hand alright? Shall we start the press conference?"
Shen Ju secretly glanced at Lin Jiang and heard him give an almost inaudible "hmm." He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and Du Lun across from him also breathed a sigh of relief.
The two looked at each other, then glared at each other.
Durren: It's all your fault.
Shenju: It's all your fault.
The press conference finally began, and the reporters pounced on it like hungry wolves seeing food.
I had clearly reminded all the reporters before the meeting that there were certain questions they shouldn't ask, but some reporters still asked about Shen Ju's hand injury.
The press conference will be broadcast live in its entirety, and theoretically, all questions should be answered unless they are too embarrassing to discuss.
Shen Ju didn't dare to answer and looked at Lin Jiang.
Lin Jiang didn't even glance at him, then snorted.
[？？？？]
[Haha, why is Lin Jiang humming so angrily?]
[Hilarious! What outrageous thing did Shen Gou do?]
[What did you do to upset the captain so much?]
The scene suddenly became comical. Countless reporters, sensing the potential for a hot topic, continued their relentless barrage of questions. Duren, standing next door, helplessly covered his face, fearing that the hashtag "OT and C are at odds" would trend on social media the next day.
Shen Ju could only bite the bullet and answer, "Yes, I got a pain-relieving injection before the game to prevent my hand injury from flaring up again."
Just when everyone thought the questions would end there, another reporter quickly followed up with the question everyone was most concerned about: "You and Captain Lin were a full 40 minutes late just now. Was it because you went to the hospital to treat your hand injury? I just noticed that Captain Lin didn't seem very satisfied with your injection. Could it be that the injection interfered with the treatment?"
Shen Ju glanced at Lin Jiang again, feeling extremely flustered. Why did this reporter have to bring up such a sensitive topic?
He quickly replied, "No, it has no effect."
Then Lin Jiang next to him snorted again, and the reporters in the audience burst out laughing. Netizens couldn't help but laugh even more, sending out merciless mocking comments in the live chat.
The reporter pressed further: "Was Lin completely unaware of your injection of pain-relieving medication?"
For the first time, Shen Ju felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He felt extremely uncomfortable, as if his whole body was covered in weeds. He held the microphone and wanted to explain, but then realized that no matter how he explained, it would only make things worse. He quickly handed the microphone to Duren.
Duren didn't dare to answer either, and quickly handed the microphone to Li Qian. Li Qian's smile froze on his face as he was preparing his words when Lin Jiang reached out and took the microphone away.
He looked coldly at the reporters below the stage, his tone more serious than ever before: "Yes, I really didn't know about this, and I hope this kind of thing never happens again."
This statement instantly caused countless fans to scream. It was the first time they had seen Lin Jiang speak so boldly in public, and it was because of Shen Ju!
[Hahaha, I'm laughing so hard I'm dizzy!]
[The dog was disobedient, and Lin Jiang got angry.]
[You, Shen Gou, are guilty of heinous crimes! You actually kept such a huge thing a secret!]
[But how come I bumped into something?]
[I feel that Lin Jiang's feelings for Shen Ju go beyond just being teammates. Does anyone understand me?]
[This is the first time I've seen Lin Jiang's teammates use their microphones.]
[What else could this be but love?!]
As the press conference progressed, the overall atmosphere became more comedic.
Lin Jiang maintained a cold expression throughout, answering only the questions asked and handling the matter strictly by business.
Shen Ju had a long face and didn't want to say anything. He looked like he had no will to live and wondered when this would end.
Although Duren had expressed remorse, the thought that all the firepower had been diverted to Shenju made him want to laugh after saying just a few words, and he couldn't control his expression, so he had to hand over the right to speak to someone else.
Who knew that Song Zhixu and the others were just like that? They couldn't help but laugh whenever they thought about Shen Ju being exposed by Lin Jiang.
Thus, only the world of the sunken horse and the wounded was achieved.
Netizens are practically laughing their heads off!
[Stop laughing! Think about how Shenju played with a hand injury during the finals! Think about his good points!!]
Is it possible that you've thought about it, but still can't help but laugh?
[Hahahaha, I can't hold it in anymore...]
[Okay, okay, so this is how you all play the "sinking dog" game, huh? Then I'll join in too!]
[Why do I feel both sorry for you and amused at the same time?]
So, with a click of the reporter's shutter, OT also captured this world-famous painting, which was then used to create dozens of memes overnight.
However, the humor of the meme did not surpass the buzz surrounding the championship win.
After OT won the championship, many old players who had uninstalled the game returned, and the damage from TG's upset was also diluted. The league rebounded, the data returned to normal, and the official also took the opportunity to launch a series of events.
As the hype returned, many people in the industry who make a living from this breathed a sigh of relief, and some even shamelessly said that Lin Jiang was their second father.
The pressure on TG and YIG also decreased, and their players treated Lin Jiang to meals several times in private, and their relationship became very good.
Fans of each team viewed OT with a natural affinity, believing that they were the ones who upheld the glory of the LPL, and OT's popularity soared to unprecedented heights.
Duren is getting busier and busier, and the club's various departments are becoming more and more complete. All the players in OT have also taken advantage of this wave of popularity to sign live streaming contracts, and their careers are booming.
In the incident where everyone was promoted to higher rank, only Shen Ju was injured.
Lin Jiang said he wouldn't pay attention to him, and he really did ignore him completely, treating him like he was invisible the whole time, and even had a built-in taunting skill.
For example, when he saw Lin Jiang arranging the trophies, he eagerly approached him and said, "Captain, let me help you put them down."
Lin Jiang didn't even look at him. "No, I'm afraid your hand injury will flare up again and you'll have to get another injection."
Shen Ju: "..."
His teammates were laughing so hard they were practically rolling on the floor, and they secretly gave him advice: "Why don't you go buy the captain a milk tea and apologize?"
Shen Ju thought it made sense, so he went downstairs and bought seven or eight cups of milk tea in different flavors.
Before he could even go upstairs, he ran into Lin Jiang coming down. Lin Jiang gave him a cold look and said, "Looks like the injection worked well. You were able to carry two bags of milk tea up to the fifth floor in one go."
Let alone closing down, Shenju would become withdrawn if he kept talking about it.
While everyone was blinded by victory, Song Zhixu opened his phone and his expression suddenly changed drastically. "Captain, look at this!"
Lin Jiang looked up and saw that the first sentence read: "Surely no one actually ships Lin Jiang and Shen Ju? Have you guys even considered that this whole thing stems from Shen Ju's insubordination and arrogance? Have you all thought about how Lin Jiang feels, making these kinds of jokes? Anyone would feel unlucky to have a teammate like that..."
I'm late, there's a plot point I just can't seem to get right, so I've been struggling with it for a while.
