Xue Lan was so frightened that his legs went limp instantly, especially since his vital point was still held in Duan Wenzheng's hand.
"You, you let go first." He was so anxious that he tried to push his hand away.
Duan Wenzheng said word by word: "No."
"…" Xue Lan's face was red as if it was about to bleed, and he said incoherently: "We still have a competition tomorrow, let me go."
"Because there is still a competition, shouldn't we do something good for our physical and mental health today?" Duan Wenzheng lowered his eyes to look at the struggling kid and whispered, "Boyfriend?"
"…" Xue Lan felt dizzy after hearing him call her boyfriend, but she still tried to regain her clarity of mind: "So, did you drink? Or did you not drink at all?!"
"I wanted to drink to give myself courage, but I was afraid that you would get drunk and leave."
"I said I didn't...ah..." Xue Lan was about to correct him when Duan Wenzheng's clenched fist suddenly turned a circle.
Xue Lan's face instantly turned redder.
He pushed his wrist with one hand and covered his lips and cheeks with the other hand in embarrassment.
"What are you blocking? I want to see... I want to hear." Duan Wenzheng looked at him trying to cover his ears and steal the bell, and tightened his fingers maliciously.
The feeling of the fabric being tightened by his movements made his breathing unstable again. As long as he lowered his head, he could see the outline of the body wrapped in the fabric under his fingertips.
"So cute." Duan Wenzheng praised without hesitation.
"Let me go, there's a game tomorrow, stop making trouble..."
"You are already like this... why are you still leaving?"
Xue Lan felt that he was about to lose all his face. At this moment, he just wanted to knock Duan Wenzheng unconscious and leave, so that he would lose his memory and not remember what happened today.
Xue Lan used both hands to push him away, and finally pushed him away a little: "Let go! If you don't let me go, I'll be angry!"
Duan Wenzheng looked at him pretending to be fierce and couldn't help laughing: "You don't want to continue?"
Xue Lan shook his head like a rattle.
"Then kiss me." Duan Wenzheng seemed to have made a great effort to make a big choice, and then he stepped back reluctantly and said.
Xue Lan felt embarrassed to even look up at him, not to mention kissing him.
His mind was in a mess right now, and he couldn't digest what had happened. Why did he and Duan Wenzhen suddenly become like this
Clearly, he was trying hard to suppress his emotions just a moment ago, wanting to play the game well and not think about anything else. How come in just a short while, he and Duan Wenzheng went from being teammates to boyfriends, and... even progressed to such an embarrassing point.
At this moment, he just wanted to escape to a place where Duan Wenzheng was not around and calm down.
Thinking of this, he hurried to the door of the room while Duan Wenzheng was not paying attention.
But just when he was about to open the door, Duan Wenzheng caught up with him again and pressed the door in front of him.
"Why are you running?"
Seeing the only exit in front of him being pressed to death by Duan Wenzheng, Xue Lan turned around in horror and looked at the person behind him.
"Where's my kiss?"
Xue Lan was cornered by him and could not dodge, but Duan Wenzheng urged him again:
"If you don't give it to me, I have to find it myself?"
As he spoke, he placed his hand on his waist in a serious manner and slowly slid it along the corner of his clothes, as if a kiss was something that could be hidden, and if Xue Lan didn't answer he would go find it himself.
Xue Lan held down his rebellious hand, and her shy and anxious look made Duan Wenzheng find it even more difficult to control himself.
He lowered his head and put his ear close to it, and could still vaguely feel the burning heat on the tip of his ear. Thinking that this burning heat was because of him, the corners of his mouth raised with difficulty: "Lanlan?"
His breath brushed past his ears, and Xue Lan quickly reached out to block it.
Xue Lan, who was exhausted by his annoyance and just wanted to leave as soon as possible, raised his head resignedly.
But just as his guilty and cautious kiss was about to land on the corner of his lips, there was a sudden, gentle but rapid knock on the door behind Xue Lan—
"Lanlan? Are you okay? Do you need help???"
Xue Lan was nearly frightened by the knocks on the door. He immediately pushed the person in front of him away, opened the door, and ran back to the room as if escaping.
Zhou Kanqing who was outside the door looked in surprise at the person who opened the door and sprinted away at a hundred meters. When he came back to his senses in a daze, he happened to see Duan Wenzheng's dark face behind the open door.
Duan Wenzheng's low voice squeezed out every word from between his teeth: "Zhou Kanqing."
"Oh, I'm glad you're okay. I'll go back first." Zhou Kanqing saw that the situation was not right, and immediately ran away as nimbly as a loach.
Xue Lan ran back to his room, his heart still pounding. He went into the bathroom and took a quick shower, then fell on the bed with his mind still in a mess.
so-
He and Duan Wenzheng are... together
Why does it feel like everything is a dream
But shouldn't Duan Wenzheng be with Wen Yan? Shouldn't the person he likes be Wen Yan? Then - what should Wen Yan do? !
He had just promised Wen Yan that he would stay away from Duan Wenzheng. How could he break his promise after just a few days, and even... snatched away his Duan Wenzheng. He was obviously the one who wanted them to be together the most, but how come in the end he became the one who broke up the couple.
Just as he was sinking into deep guilt and self-blame, the cell phone he had thrown aside suddenly rang.
Xue Lan picked up the phone in a panic.
"Why don't you reply?" Duan Wenzheng's voice came from the other end of the phone: "I thought you would deny it so soon."
"No, no way." Xue Lan replied guiltily.
"So what were you doing just now?" Duan Wenzheng asked in a low voice: "... Self-help?"
Xue Lan didn't understand what he meant at first, but when she realized what he meant, her face immediately turned red again: "No! Don't, don't talk nonsense."
"Yes, if you need anything, I am happy to help..."
"… "
"I won't tease you anymore. Go to bed early. There's a game tomorrow—" Even through the phone, Duan Wenzheng could almost see Xue Lan's blushing face. It was very... He lay on the bed, and his fingertips could still vaguely smell his scent. Duan Wenzheng sighed and smiled, "Boyfriend."
Xue Lan had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the last few words he said.
The blush on his face once again reached the tips of his ears. He hung up the phone and buried his head in the quilt.
But soon after hanging up the phone, WeChat popped up another message from Duan Wenzheng -
reset: Don't go on Weibo if you don't have anything to do, and don't read those weird super topics. I have never liked Wen Yan, and I will never like him in the future. If you have anything else to ask, I will answer you slowly after the game is over tomorrow.
reset: I never lie to children.
Most of Xue Lan's face was buried in the quilt, with only a pair of bright eyes staring at the two lines of words typed by Duan Wen Zheng in the middle of the screen.
He said he never lied to children.
Xue Lan's heart was instantly filled with candy, but Duan Wenzheng said that he had never liked Wen Yan. Why was that? Also, what were these weird super topics on Weibo? !
Although he had many questions, it was already late. There was an extremely important match with the Thunder Team tomorrow. Xue Lan quickly put away his phone and counted sheep conscientiously...
On the second day, it was the first meeting between LGW and Thunder Team before the quarterfinals of the domestic league. These two teams, which were not evenly matched with each other and had the highest domestic attention, started the game. The tickets for the game that day instantly reached an unprecedented level of being hard to come by.
Everyone in the team got up very early this day.
When Zhou Kanqing walked into the training room humming a song while carrying breakfast, he saw Duan Wenzheng already sitting in front of the computer. His sleepiness was instantly washed away, and he immediately turned around and wanted to run.
But as soon as he turned around, someone behind him grabbed him by the collar.
"Why are you running?"
"Duan Wenzheng! Don't burn your bridges! I've helped you deceive Lanlan twice. I was so worried when he didn't come out for so long. What if you, an old pervert, do something to Lanlan because of her lust? Wouldn't that make me an accomplice?" Seeing that Duan Wenzheng's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot and he didn't say anything, Zhou Kanqing straightened his back with a guilty conscience and continued, "What's the matter? Didn't you say you would apologize to him? Did you succeed in your confession?"
"Don't be nervous. The game is about to start. Even if I want to settle accounts with you, I won't do it before the game."
"..." Zhou Kanqing instantly felt more nervous: "Then why are you holding me?"
"It's okay. It's just that it's so early in the morning. I don't know where everyone has gone..." Duan Wenzheng looked at him, talking a lot and looking for an opportunity to slip away. He loosened his collar and seemed to be in a good mood, "I want to ask, have you seen my boyfriend?"
"…?" Zhou Kanqing immediately thought of the past and sneered, "You're not going to call yourself your boyfriend again, are you?"
"Of course it's true." Duan Wenzheng calmly counterattacked: "You also know that Lanlan is shy. He only dared to say that he liked me when I was drunk yesterday."
“…” No one would believe that.
"Have you seen him? I went to look for him this morning, but he wasn't in his room."
"... Maybe they were just afraid of seeing you run away early." Zhou Kanqing's face twisted into a ball of flowers: "How could a good cabbage be eaten by a pig..."
"What did you say?"
"I said, the boss came back in the morning and called me to the office."
"Isn't it almost time to set off?" Duan Wenzheng looked at the time and asked, "Is there anything I must say now?"
“…” How did he know? !
Duan Wenzheng stood up and made a move to go upstairs.
"Where are you going? The boss must have something serious to tell him, why are you interfering? You've just disappeared for such a short while, is it necessary?" Zhou Kanqing hurriedly pulled him back: "Instead of always sticking to him, why don't you think about how to make him feel that you really like him... If I were Lanlan, I would definitely think that you're just being curious for the moment."
"?" Duan Wenzheng seemed to hesitate for a moment and asked, "Do I make people feel insecure?"
Zhou Kanqing, who had finally found an opportunity to mock Fan, was instantly choked.
He thought of Duan Wenzhen sitting on the ground in a mess last night, and suddenly, he felt a little bit of pity because they had known each other for more than ten years.
So Zhou Kanqing tried to find the right words after his wound healed and healed without remembering the pain: "Not really, you are still very good, so it's normal for Lanlan not to believe that you like him..."
Duan Wenzheng regained his smile in the next second: "How about I start a live broadcast now to explain it?"
"..." Zhou Kanqing rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Can you please pull back your tail that's sticking up to the sky? Do you think you're a peacock? I shouldn't have the slightest sympathy for you... Who said 'love is a matter between two people'?"
Duan Wenzheng was totally unaware: "After all, we have to give him a sense of security. If he doesn't believe that I like him, then why don't I just let him believe it?"
"..." Zhou rolled his eyes at Qingsheng with a look of despair.
At this moment, he suddenly saw Xue Lan walking down from upstairs with his head down.
Duan Wenzheng pushed Zhou Kanqing aside and walked over quickly: "What's wrong?"
Xue Lan raised his head and was about to speak when Xie Zhinian's voice rang out from outside the club's gate:
"Are you all ready? Let's go!"
Xue Lan quickly came to his senses and wanted to pack up his keyboard and get in the car.
Duan Wenzheng grabbed his wrist and said to Zhou Kanqing beside him: "You go first."
"…" Zhou Kanqing gritted his teeth, smiled and nodded: "Very good."
He picked up the steamed bun he hadn't finished eating and left the training room angrily.
Duan Wenzhen then casually closed the door of the training room again.
"… "
Seeing Xue Lan subconsciously taking half a step back, Duan Wenzheng did not walk up to him again. Instead, he walked past him to Xue Lan's position and bent down to help him disassemble the keyboard and mouse.
"What did he say?"
"Nothing." Xue Lan paused, then hurried forward to take the keyboard bag, then took the keyboard and put it away.
"Nothing?" Duan Wenzheng obviously didn't believe it.
Xue Lan sighed. The competition was about to begin, and he didn't want to say anything that would affect Duan Wenzhen's mood.
Moreover, Xue Yuanshan did not say anything to him.
"The boss knows about the captain." Xue Lan thought for a moment and explained, "He said... he hopes I can take on the endorsement of "Dawn of Doom" with you."
Duan Wenzheng's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Really?"
Xue Lan nodded.
He thought carefully about the wording: "Yes, you need to sign a guarantee during the endorsement period, which includes a ban on dating."
Duan Wenzheng's face darkened instantly: "What kind of rule is this?"
Xue Lan was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to explain. Xue Yuanshan's original words were not "no love". It was because of the game information input that the game owner knew Xue Lan's real gender, and they didn't want to use such a spokesperson with uncertain factors.
Any product endorsement will be subject to background checks. For them, contestants like Xue Lan who contain "deceptive factors" are not qualified to be endorsers.
It was Wen Yan who found the organizer and finally gained their approval with multiple unequal treaties.
However, the organizers required that during the endorsement contract period, Xue Lan must not have any negative news, which naturally included pretending to be a girl and...
If the tournament organizers, no, even if Xue Yuanshan himself knew that he had openly come out with another spokesperson - they would throw him out of the club and completely sever the father-son relationship.
There were many factors involved. Xue Lan didn't have time to think about it. He saw Duan Wenzheng zipping up his keyboard bag and walking out of the training room with a dark face.
Xue Lan was so shocked that he hurriedly chased after him and grabbed Duan Wenzheng who was about to open the door.
Duan Wenzheng didn't want to listen anymore. He turned the door lock and was about to open the door of the training room when -
Xue Lan rushed over anxiously and hugged Duan Wenzheng tightly, and then closed the door that he had just opened a crack.
"I, we don't need to break up. We can keep it secret..." Xue Lan didn't know why, but he felt that what he said sounded like a scumbag who wanted to deceive an innocent female college student. He was so shy that he didn't dare to look up at Duan Wenzheng.
Duan Wenzheng naturally would not agree.
He sneered and was about to say something, but he saw the person who threw himself on him actually went all out and kissed him with his eyes closed.
The kiss fell on his cheek, gently brushing against his heart like a feather.
"Can we not make it public?" Xue Lan lowered his head, knowing that he was in the wrong. His voice was muffled and soft, making people feel itchy.
Duan Wenzheng raised his eyebrows, then gave up and tried to open the door again: "How long will it take?"
"Three... three months." Xue Lan replied guiltily.
Duan Wenzheng pulled his hand away. Just when Xue Lan thought he was going to open the door again, he lowered his head slightly and touched his lips with his fingertips:
"Kiss here."
