68. Jealousy
What kind of person is Lin Jiang in the hearts of his fans?
That is absolutely pure and flawless, a white moonlight without any black spots. If you want to say who is worthy of him, they must be a very, very reliable person in every way.
Although Shen Ju has recently cleared his name a bit, his dark past still makes people very worried. They are all afraid that Shen Ju will suddenly go crazy one day, leave Lin Jiang behind, and just walk away.
Because he really seems unreliable!
Lin Jiang's fans couldn't hold back any longer and poured out their grievances online. Many people expressed their understanding because Shen Ju seemed ruthless and a scumbag.
Moreover, he is young, almost 3 years older than the other two, right? When Lin Jiang retires and Shen Ju is still active, who can guarantee that he won't change his mind in the face of the temptations of the world?
Thinking about all this makes Lin Jiang's fans want to cry. [Shen Ju is completely unreliable!]
However, some of Shenju's fans have a different opinion—
[Just because someone seems like a jerk doesn't mean they actually are.]
[Shen Ju has never been in a relationship. I think this guy can be very serious when he gets serious.]
[If you watch his livestreams often, you'll know he's actually quite sincere; he remembers everyone who helps him and takes care of him.]
[Just because he took painkillers in the finals and chose to keep it a secret from Lin Jiang to avoid worrying him, I think he's a pretty man.]
[Don't worry, okay? Please trust Lin Jiang's judgment. When has Lin Jiang's selection ever had a problem?]
[And to be honest, there aren't many people who are a good match for Lin Jiang.]
That last statement is indeed true. No matter who Lin Jiang is with, their fans will always worry that something is wrong here or there.
Even when it was revealed that Tian Baobei was Lin Jiang's girlfriend, many people said that the two had special professions and often could not see each other. Some people even suspected that Lin Jiang did not go public because he wanted to protect Tian Baobei's career.
From this perspective, at least Shen Ju has one advantage: he can be by Lin Jiang's side anytime, anywhere.
Perhaps what Lin Jiang values is the companionship?
Lin Jiang's relationship was exposed, which sparked a lot of discussion, including a past scandal with KUG.
Many people shipped Lin Jiang and He Gu as a couple back then. They met when they were young, were both outstanding, and pursued their dreams together. They seemed to be a perfect match in every way. However, for some reason, He Gu went abroad, and the two drifted apart. This couple eventually broke up.
Some longtime fans lamented: "[If He Shao hadn't gone abroad back then, Shen Ju probably wouldn't have had a chance, right?]"
BE (Bad Ending) stories are always the most intriguing, and countless curious netizens have begun to dig deep into the past of Lin Jiang and He Gu.
He Gu rarely appears in the public eye. Almost every time he is photographed, he is with Lin Jiang, watching Lin Jiang train, watching Lin Jiang compete, moving offices to the same floor, and watching Lin Jiang accept interviews.
Upon closer examination, countless sweet treats were discovered.
The two of them standing together are such a sight to behold, exuding confidence and self-assurance, their arrogance enough to crush any opponent.
New fans are going crazy over this!
[Wow, this is a classic duo! I can't even imagine how strong this combination must be; could they possibly have any rivals in the industry?]
[Not just within the industry, they're unbeatable outside of it too!]
[I'm so upset, why did it have to end so soon after we found out about them!]
Does anyone know why Young Master He went abroad?
[I heard they went to learn about the AI industry abroad, which is already very advanced.]
I heard it's because of family members.
[It seems Lin Jiang has moved on, but He Shao hasn't.]
[The first thing he did upon returning to China was to deal with the matter of KUG forcing Lin Jiang to leave; this clearly shows he came back to stand up for him!]
[They were each other's most amazing encounters in their youth!]
[Who cried? I cried!]
The deeper they dug, the more unsettling it became. They didn't know if Lin Jiang and He Gu had ever been together; they only knew that their story didn't have a real ending.
Just then, He Gu unveiled his new intelligent industry at a brand-new press conference.
He spoke eloquently and confidently at the meeting, but when a reporter asked about his love life, he paused for a long time and said, "Sorry, I didn't hear you clearly just now. Could you ask me again?"
Netizens are going crazy over it:
[Ahhh, who was he thinking of at that moment?!]
[Who understands? His pause just now seemed like he was reflecting on a lot, and then losing it all!]
[He can memorize a 7,000-word article, but can't remember a reporter's casual question!]
One second rational and calm, the next moment lost in thought.
The video was heavily edited, pasted onto Lin Jiang, and captioned with three large words: "Unresolved!"
Shen Ju flipped through the tablet, getting angrier and angrier. "What nonsense are these people talking about? You have no relation to that guy surnamed He, so why are you making such a fuss?"
Lin Jiang looked up from the sofa and glanced at him.
She smiled but didn't say anything.
Shen Ju continued scrolling, and when he came across the story of He Gu going to watch Lin Jiang's match live, with netizens praising their "fairytale romance," he finally couldn't hold back anymore: "If the KUG boss doesn't watch KUG matches, what is he watching for?! Is he sick in the head?!"
Like a frustrated puppy, he gritted his teeth and cursed for a long time, then, unable to bear the injustice, he dropped his tablet and ran to Lin Jiang's side, begging for comfort: "I'm upset, please comfort me."
Lin Jiang patted his head, and that was it, he was done comforting him.
The puppy wouldn't listen, burrowing desperately into his hand, "I feel really awful, like I can't eat, Lin Jiang, I need your kisses to feel better..."
Lin Jiang finally put down her book, took off her glasses, and leaned down to kiss him on the lips. "Are you feeling better?"
Shenju is a little better, but it's still not enough.
He buried his head in Lin Jiang's arms and said in a muffled voice, "Promise me you won't go online lately, okay? There are so many people talking nonsense online these days."
Lin Jiang smiled, put his glasses back on, and picked up the book in his hand. "I hadn't even read it. I warned you that public opinion would be circulating for a while, but you wouldn't listen."
Shen Ju had been immersed in the joy of going public for the past few days, scrolling through netizens' blessings every day, oblivious to everything else. By the time he realized it, the whole internet was still shipping Lin Jiang and He Gu's expired sweetness.
He was puzzled: "You have absolutely no connection with that guy surnamed He, so what are they even talking about? That person didn't even come out to explain at the press conference..."
The fingers that were turning the pages paused slightly, and the bright sunlight outside the window fell on them quietly.
Lin Jiang slightly raised his eyes, then slowly lowered them again.
Her fingers unconsciously caressed Shen Ju's earlobe, wondering whether she should explain things to him.
Suddenly, Shen Ju, who was beside him, rolled over and sat up, looking at him with bright eyes. "Lin Jiang, let's do it! After we do it, I won't think about these things anymore!"
Lin Jiang: ?
He used the book in his hand to give him a big pocket.
Ever since they went public, the other person has been acting like they're in heat, constantly thrusting their hips at him and begging for sex.
Lin Jiang remained indifferent, leaning back on the sofa and using his foot to prevent Shen Ju from approaching. His slightly raised eyebrows were already alluring enough. "I have an event to attend tomorrow, so I can't today."
Shen Ju was not giving up, "Then you can have me."
This phrase had become Shen Ju's ultimate trick for deceiving people. He knew that Lin Jiang was reluctant to hurt him, so he became unscrupulous and took advantage of Lin Jiang's kindness.
Lin Jiang wasn't buying it. "My back hurts. I can't have you."
Shen Ju leaned in to kiss him like a puppy, his eyes darkening. "Shall I take the lead?" He kissed the back of his hand, his voice slightly lowered. "Lin Jiang, I want to make you happy too."
The transparent jade Guanyin swayed slightly around his neck. Shen Ju was truly well-nourished; his skin was so fair that one couldn't help but want to take a bite.
Lin Jiang was a man, so naturally he had those needs. He swallowed hard, and his fingers involuntarily lifted Lin Jiang's clothes, putting his arm around Lin Jiang's waist and pulling him up.
Shen Ju ripped off his clothes, and the jade Guanyin pendant fell onto Lin Jiang's face. Lin Jiang hooked his arms around Shen Ju's neck, and the two quickly kissed.
Shen Ju's kisses were still as unskilled as ever, but intense enough to captivate and arouse the heart.
Sometimes Lin Jiang also really wanted to devour him completely. He was usually indifferent and abstinent, with little need for sex, but it was undeniable that Shen Ju could arouse his desires.
He forcefully pulled Shen Ju onto his body, his hand already on Shen Ju's waist, but seeing the purplish marks left by the injection on Shen Ju's wrist, he hesitated.
Shen Ju is too delicate, and his body is so tense. Forcing him will definitely cause him to get hurt.
Lin Jiang sighed, "Never mind."
Shen Ju thought for a moment, then suddenly got up. "I'll go get Run**."
He had just gotten up from the sofa when Lin Jiang grabbed his hand.
Lin Jiang lay on the sofa, his clothes disheveled, his face covered with his hands. The sunlight from the window fell on him, making him look as clean as an unapproachable god.
He seemed to hear Lin Jiang sigh, "No need to take it."
Chen Ju paused for a moment, then asked, "Aren't you comfortable being with me?"
He heard Lin Jiang laugh and said helplessly, "Chen Ju, I'm really defeated by you."
Lin Jiang sat up, but still didn't let go.
He looked up at him and told him his thoughts: "Shenju, I've never had much need in this area. At first, it was just because it was new, so I indulged you. Now that things have settled down, I'm sure I don't have the same need as you. So you don't need to judge me by your standards. I'll tell you if I'm not feeling well, so don't worry, okay?"
Shen Ju stared at him with wide eyes, feeling guilty that his secret had been exposed, but after talking it out, his worries did indeed lessen a lot.
He nestled comfortably in his arms, "Lin Jiang, why didn't you say so sooner? You had no idea I was worried, worried that you'd see someone better outside and run away..."
Lin Jiang suddenly laughed, making Shen Ju blush.
Actually, Shen Ju doesn't need to worry about this problem, because he has already met better people, but in the end, Shen Ju is still the most suitable person for him.
The two squeezed onto a sofa, embracing each other; their time together was the most precious thing for them.
Lin Jiang had been accompanying Shen Ju during his treatment of his hand injury, and the treatment was almost over. Lin Jiang suggested, "Would you like to go on a trip?"
Although Shen Ju's family is wealthy, they are all very busy. Their usual activities are either meetings or training sessions. Let alone going on a trip, even the amusement park was the first time Lin Jiang took him there.
He nodded, then began to worry: "Will this affect my return to the team?"
Lin Jiang smiled gently and brushed the stray hairs behind his ear. "Don't worry, I've discussed it with Manager Du. The second team and Song Zhixu will play in the Demacia Cup. I'll be with you."
Shen Ju's eyes suddenly lit up again as he cautiously inquired, "So, where are we going on vacation? Have you already made all the plans?"
Lin Jiang smiled without saying a word, deliberately watching him jump around anxiously, but refusing to give a definite answer.
Shen Ju was so angry that he wanted to bite him but couldn't bring himself to do it, so he could only spin around in place.
