BXBX NOVEL Chapter 90: Eloped~
At first, he only knew to peck like a chicken nibbling at rice, but now, not only could he breathe through his nose, he even knew to tilt his head back and offer himself up.
The two of them kissed wantonly in the narrow corner.
They’d clearly only been separated for a short time, and they’d clearly been sleeping in each other’s arms last night, and they were clearly so close to each other now.
But there was always the feeling that it wasn’t enough.
Desire invaded their bodies, enveloping their souls.
Lu Feng let him go first, “You must be hungry.”
Wei Xiao: “Nope.”
He didn’t want to go, he wanted to stay here a little longer.
Gurgle…
His stomach betrayed him.
Lu Feng smiled and looked at him.
Wei Xiao: “……” This stomach of his had failed him!
The hand Lu Feng had wrapped around his wrist slid down, following his palm and twining their fingers together. “Enough, go eat first. I’m also hungry.”
This last sentence was worth a thousand words. Wei Xiao immediately agreed, “Okay!”
The captain was hungry, so they should quickly go and eat. He just didn’t know if there was celery in the restaurant or not.
The two of them were just about to step out when they heard a ding from outside.
It was the crisp crackle of a lighter.
Someone was there!
The Wei Xiao who’d been extremely bold as they had snuck around started feeling guilty!
It had been exciting just now, but it wouldn’t be good if they ran into someone.
The matter of coming out of the closet was something that should be considered from a long term perspective.
Lu Feng pulled him over, and the two of them hid behind the door.
This was a smoking area. The footsteps came to a stop, and a man’s familiar soft voice rang out, “Want one?”
“No.”
“Captain Li’s not here.”
“I didn’t quit smoking because of him.”
“Oh~” This elongated tone was undoubtedly Yuan Ze, and the other voice in the conversation was also very recognizable. The one with the slightly strange Chinese pronunciation was Kim Sung-hyun.
It turned out to be the two of them.
Wei Xiao, who’d originally been hiding, suddenly had the impulse to rush out.
Regardless of how the Team of Gods had come to an end, both of these people were extremely important to Close.
Wei Xiao wanted to tell them––
Close had a boyfriend now!
Do you guys want to know who it is!
They were both as far as in the sky, and as near as right in front of you!
Yes, that’s right, it’s me!
Oh, that wasn’t a very good idea.
Wei Xiao soon changed his mind again.
He’d lost to Yuan Ze not long ago, and lost to Kim Sung-hyun recently. Saying such a thing now didn’t seem to carry much impact.
He’d wait.
When they met again in the global competitions, he’d say it once for every time they won.
He’d make sure that they remembered it deeply!
The more Wei Xiao thought about it, the more energetic he grew. He pulled his captain even closer, so that the two of them were stuck close together, hiding behind the door.
Lu Feng: “…….”
No matter how high Captain Lu’s IQ was, he couldn’t see through the thoughts of the person in his arms.
The outside two chatted casually.
The relationship between Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun was really good. During their time at FTW, Kim Sung-hyun had been ‘alone and helpless’ and had really respected Yuan Ze as an elder, even if this elder was very unreliable.
Kim Sung-hyun had been even more good looking when he was 17 to 18 than he was now.
At the time, his baby fat hadn’t yet retreated. He had a sharp little melon face and a tear-shaped mole, looking just like a leading actor in a Korean drama, the type that was campus-themed.
With his looks, his achievements, and his strength, Kim Sung-hyun naturally attracted countless fans.
Fame was a double edged sword. If there were those who loved him, then there were naturally those who were jealous. In his early years, Kim Sung-hyun suffered a lot of hidden losses while living in a foreign country.
Fortunately, Yuan Ze had protected him, guided him, taught him Mandarin, and helped him integrate into FTW.
With this kind of relationship in place, even if they’d been separated for many years, they still regarded each other as close brothers.
Yuan Ze was a longtime smoker. If he was ever separated from his cigarettes, he could easily enact dying on the spot.
With a cigarette hanging from the edge of his lips, he asked Kim Sung-hyun, “Has Captain Li recovered?”
This question was quite pointed.
Captain Li’s hand injury had clearly recovered. He’d played well in yesterday’s game, and definitely wouldn’t have gone up to play while he was still injured. Yuan Ze had seen it clearly, yet he was still asking; his words obviously carried some deeper meaning.
Kim Sung-hyun understood what he meant and answered vaguely, “Mm.”
Yuan Ze laughed briefly, “You’re really…”
Kim Sung-hyun looked at him, “If you were him, I also wouldn’t set you aside and not worry about you.”
Yuan Ze stilled briefly, then laughed lowly, “… Shit.”
Kim Sung-hyun seemed to have been choked by the smell of smoke. He said disdainfully, “Smoke a little less.”
Yuan Ze sighed, “This tone of voice is really like Close.”
When he heard his captain’s name, Wei Xiao looked up at Lu Feng and blinked.
Lu Feng’s index finger came up to make a gesture on his lips.
Wei Xiao’s eyes flashed slightly, and he kissed his finger––the one that was placed over his lips.
Lu Feng: “…….”
If it wasn’t for the fact that there was someone outside, Lu Feng…
Well, he could only kiss him.
Kim Sung-hyun: “Besides Close, who else would care about whether your lungs are black or red.”
Yuan Ze insisted stubbornly, “He just hates the smell of smoke.”
Kim Sung-hyun wasn’t polite at all, “He also hates you.”
Yuan Ze tsked.
Kim Sung-hyun was obviously in a better mood than he’d been a few days ago. Perhaps it was because they’d won the winter training camp, or perhaps because of Li Heran’s seriousness, or perhaps it was even because he could see that his old friends were doing better and better.
Yuan Ze listened to him for once and put out the cigarette, “FTW is exceptional this year.”
Kim Sung-hyun: “Still tender.”
“Tender?” Yuan Ze laughed, “Even before the domestic competition ends, you won’t be able to stop that boy anymore.”
He didn’t say his name and just used a pronoun, but everyone knew who he was referring to.
Wei Xiao pointed to himself, his eyes speaking for him: Old Dog Yuan was talking about him!
Lu Feng: “…….”
He would be killed by Wei Xiao’s cuteness sooner or later.
Kim Sung-hyun paused briefly, then analyzed calmly and objectively, “The current FTW is still too dependent on Close.”
Yuan Ze: “That’s true.”
Kim Sung-hyun: “Quiet’s really excellent, but if he remains under Close’s protection, he won’t be able to grow up.”
Yuan Ze paused, then actually spoke up for Wei Xiao, “Not necessarily. Close has changed a lot.”
Kim Sung-hyun: “We all know what happens to Close once the team is getting along well and they encounter a strong opponent.”
Yuan Ze didn’t say anything.
Kim Sung-hyun: “To tell you the truth, I feel that in the whole of Glory, the only person who can let Close act recklessly is Captain Yan.”
Yuan Ze’s voice was light, his tone ironic, “Is there anyone God Yan can’t cooperate with?”
Kim Sung-hyun: “That’s true.”
Yan Jiang––FTW’s former team captain, the perfect support player, a man who stood in the most vulnerable position while becoming the absolute core.
In fact, the old FTW could win the doubles championship. They had the potential to absolutely crush their opponents and win with pure strength alone.
It was very simple. They would win as long as Yan Jiang signed up for the competition.
As for who the other person was, it didn’t even matter.
Kim Sung-hyun, Xie He, Yuan Ze, or even Close, who was the most difficult to cooperate with. All of them could do it.
Yuan Ze couldn’t cooperate with Close, and Kim Sung-hyun and Xie He also had no way to play doubles with Close.
Only Yan Jiang could.
Unfortunately…
Nobody would mention this matter.
Because Yan Jiang never took part in the singles or doubles competitions.
Not just the players, even the top management of the club wouldn’t bring this up.
If the management pressured him, Yan Jiang would participate.
But what was the use of that?
He could play in a way where he made no mistakes, play as hard as he could and assist wholeheartedly, but they wouldn’t win.
No faults could be picked up, and there was no way to say that he wasn’t trying; his behavior would be perfect.
It was just that they’d lose.
This was too fierce. It was so fierce that nobody could do anything about it.
So, FTW was utterly helpless and gave up the doubles.
Yuan Ze had dared to say ‘if someone can cooperate with Close, I’ll go and eat shit live’ because there was an underlying reason for it.
In the whole Glory circle worldwide, there was just one Yan Jiang.
Yan Jiang didn’t play the doubles competition.
So, if you wanted him to eat shit, there was no way it would happen.
It could be seen that Yuan Ze really favored Wei Xiao. The implicit and explicit content of his words were filled with recognition, “Even if he’s not as good as Yan Jiang, Quiet is already the next best candidate.”
Kim Sung-hyun nodded, “Yes.”
Yuan Ze: “In short, this year’s FTW won’t be bad.”
Kim Sung-hyun looked at him, “What about L&P?”
Yuan Ze laughed, “What are you thinking? Would I lose to Yan Jiang again?”
Last year’s championship winner was Y1, which was Yan Jiang’s team. L&P had been the runners-up.
Kim Sung-hyun: “It’s time to switch it up. You can lose to Pro now.”
Yuan Ze: “Dream on.”
Kim Sung-hyun was too lazy to continue sparring with him verbally. He asked, “Will you take part in the singles competition this year?”
Yuan Ze: “Yes.”
Kim Sung-hyun smiled, “Great. Let’s see who is number one in Glory.”
For several years in a row, Close had been the only one from the Team of Gods to sign up for the singles. This year, Kim Sung-hyun and Yuan Ze would both join too.
The real number one in the world.
Who would it be?
This was something that they couldn’t establish while they were at FTW. Now, there was an opportunity to do so.
Lu Feng and Wei Xiao didn’t come out until the two of them had walked off.
Wei Xiao hadn’t meant to eavesdrop, but he’d heard it all clearly.
In particular, Kim Sung-hyun’s words had stabbed him in the heart––To tell you the truth, I feel that in the whole of Glory, the only person who can let Close act recklessly is Captain Yan.
Wei Xiao couldn’t stand it. He asked directly, “Captain, is Yan Jiang so strong?”
He was definitely strong, but exactly how strong was he to let Close act recklessly and not have to worry about anybody?
That’s right, Wei Xiao was jealous. This sentence was enough to pickle him in a whole tub of vinegar!
Lu Feng rubbed his hair, “It’s not that exaggerated.”
Wei Xiao: “Listening to Captain Yuan and God Kim’s meaning, you’ve always been holding back when you fight, haven’t you?”
Lu Feng: “…….”
Wei Xiao’s heart leapt up, “If you let go, we won’t be able to keep up, is that right?!”
Lu Feng shook his head, “5v5 is a team competition. Good cooperation is more important than individual excellence.”
This was a truth that Wei Xiao understood, but he still didn’t feel comfortable in his heart, “I’m still too weak.”
Lu Feng was distressed. He held his hand and said, “Yan Jiang isn’t strong.”
Wei Xiao didn’t believe him, “You’re just trying to coax me.”
Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun had already said all those things. How could he not be strong!
What’s more, it wasn’t as though Wei Xiao hadn’t watched the world cup. Y1 was so strong that it made people’s scalps feel numb.
Lu Feng said in a soft voice, “Yan Jiang just understands people very well.”
Wei Xiao was stunned.
Lu Feng said, “He understands the players, so he can cooperate with them.”
Wei Xiao: “He understands you very well.”
Lu Feng: “He understands everyone he wants to understand well.”
Wei Xiao: “……”
Lu Feng was about to continue comforting him, but Wei Xiao suddenly spoke up, “Then, I won’t lose to him!”
Lu Feng could see the unabashed warmth and enthusiasm in his eyes.
Wei Xiao: “I’ll definitely become the person who knows you best.”
“Yan Jiang might understand a lot of people, but I just want to understand you!”
Lu Feng: “…….”
Anyone who heard this kind of thing would feel like their heart was being stuffed full of soft marshmallows, sweet and fluffy.
“Wei Xiao…” Lu Feng called out to him in a low voice.
Wei Xiao: “Hm?”
Lu Feng kissed him. Other than this, he really didn’t know how else to convey the deep love he felt for him.
In the restaurant, the lonely Brother Cai ate six Alaskan king crab legs, half of an Australian lobster, and half a plate of sea urchin sashimi…
He sent out a Weibo post while he was at it, “Although I’m lonely, I’m full.”
Replies burst out instantly, “Brother Cai, where’s God Lu!”
“Darling vegetable, where’s your captain?”
“God Bai, where’s your jungler king?”
Brother Cai also wanted to know where his captain and jungler king had gone.
They’d clearly been going downstairs together and had waited for the elevator together. How did it eventually turn into him walking on alone!
Their hotel rooms were on the fifth floor. It had been such a long time since then, so they should’ve arrived even if it was 500 flights of stairs!
Bai Cai replied to a fan, “I also don’t know where they went. Maybe… they’ve eloped.”
xiin: Bai Cai, you don’t even know how right you are…
