Chapter 64: The Alliance Support Who Was Suppressed by His Teammates (Part 7)
A group of them were drunk. Duan Qiancheng was pulling one and then the other, and with a twitch of his lips, he called for someone to come and pick them up.
Yu Lin couldn’t take it anymore and lay on the table to sleep for a while. His dream was hazy, and it had everything.
One moment, he was in middle school and had come home to find that his father had had an accident and was lying unconscious in a hospital room, leaving behind a pile of high debts and people who had come to demand payment.
The next moment, he had put down his schoolbag, had signed the application to drop out of school, and in the worried gaze of his teacher, he had staggered out to find a chance to survive.
But he was too young at fourteen, and no one was willing to hire him. He could only do very scattered odd jobs and watch the internet cafe at night. At that time, “Under the Stars” was very popular. As he watched, he had started to play.
Yu Lin had come to this world early and had experienced this feeling in the prequel script. He pressed his lips together, his forehead resting on his thin arm, his cheeks flushed red, and his brow was furrowed.
The table was cold, both icy and hard, and it was very uncomfortable to sleep on. The world around him was a blurry expanse. He was dazed, and his cheek lifted and then fell. He didn’t know what he wanted.
“What’s wrong?” Before long, his chin was held by a warm finger, and a low voice fell. Yu Lin turned his head and nuzzled the palm that was holding him. He found that it was no longer cold when he fell down again, and he tilted his head and fell asleep.
In the private room, Zhuang Ningyu looked at the hand that was being held in his arms and used as a pillow, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, and did not pull it away.
Duan Qiancheng was playing with a cup, and he was smiling. He turned his head, and a mouthful of water almost choked him.
“No… you… you?” He looked at Zhuang Ningyu with hesitation, and then he saw that his gaze on Yu Lin was unusually indulgent, and he was dumbfounded. “Zhuang Gou, you… are you really not a good person?”
Hearing this, Zhuang Ningyu raised his eyebrows, and there was no expression on his face. His voice was placid. “Mutual affection, you and I are both willing. Understand?”
Duan Qiancheng understood what a six-month-late relationship meant.
Duan Qiancheng: “…”
How did it become ‘you and I are both willing’? I’ve seen shameless people, but I’ve never seen such a shameless person.
Tui!!!
Yu Lin had slept for a little over half an hour.
He hadn’t drunk much. When he woke up, his head was much clearer. He shook his head, and when he looked down, he saw the long and slender fingers with distinct knuckles in his arms, and he immediately froze.
He hesitated for two seconds, and when he moved his neck with uncertainty, he seemed to hear a mechanical clicking sound.
A low laugh came from beside his ear.
Yu Lin closed his eyes, and for a moment, he was so embarrassed that he didn’t know what to do. He pressed his lips together without a sound, and the tips of his ears were red.
After a long while, he lightly let go of the hand that was holding him, and took a deep breath. “Captain, I’m sorry.”
“What’s wrong?” The person who had been used as a coolie didn’t feel anything. Seeing that he was awake, he let out a low laugh and gently moved his numb fingers.
“Have a glass of honey water.” Zhuang Ningyu’s fingers curled slightly, and he pushed over a glass of water. He glanced at his red neck, and after a pause, he did not tease him anymore. “Your Brother Duan has called a car to pick us up. We’ll wait for a while.”
Yu Lin took the glass of water, tilted his head back and drank it all, and nodded randomly. “En.”
The private room was quiet. Fang Cheng was tired from drinking and was holding Lin Qingchuan’s shoulder.
Lin Qingchuan shot him a glance, and looking at his dirty fingers after he had finished the crayfish, he frowned deeply, but in the end, he did not push him away.
Zhou Cheng was lying on the table and sleeping soundly.
Duan Qiancheng had gone out. Yu Lin sat in his seat, and after a moment of silence, he got up, swaying. “Captain, I’m going to the restroom.” With that, he got up and fled in disarray.
His eyelids were lowered, his cheeks were flushed red, and his body was tense. In a flash, even the roots of his eyelashes were red.
He had fumbled with the doorknob a few times before he had opened it.
Zhuang Ningyu looked at his panicked back, and his eyelids lifted, and the fingers hanging by his side moved.
***
After Yu Lin had gone to the restroom, he supported himself on the sink and washed his face.
There was no air conditioning here, and the water temperature in autumn was a little low. He took a deep breath, lifted his eyelids, and the person in the mirror was looking at him coldly. He looked as if he had no expression, but in fact, his whole person was red, and there were water droplets on his chin.
“…” Yu Lin took out a piece of paper, wiped the water droplets clean, and then stood there and let the wind blow for a while.
As a secret admirer, under the debuff, any of Zhuang Ningyu’s actions had a huge impact on him.
Yu Lin had waited for a while before his pounding heart had calmed down. His head was still a little dizzy. He got up and walked out, and after a few steps, he brushed past a person who was about to come in.
The person had also been drinking and was a little unconscious, but in the instant they brushed past, he had still accurately called out the name on his lips. “Hmm…? Yu Lin?”
The man raised his eyebrows and stopped. The hand on his belt loosened. He was tall, and his hair was messy because it was too stiff, but it made him look handsome, and his appearance was very aggressive.
Leaning against the cold white light of the restroom, the smile on his lips also cooled a little. “Why are you here?”
Yu Lin frowned, glanced at him with confusion, and his eyelashes moved. There was no expression on his face, which made him look cold.
However, he was extremely beautiful.
Zhou Huang looked at him and found that his heart was still beating fast, and his expression immediately turned cold.
Yu Lin’s cheeks were very hot, and his head was also very dizzy. He glanced at him, did not want to speak, and walked forward coldly. Zhou Huang pressed his lips together, took a step forward, and blocked him, and his arm was against the side of the door.
Yu Lin glanced at his wheat-colored arm, and his voice became cold. His eyes were bright, and under the porcelain white wall tiles, they looked even more indifferent. “Zhou Huang, is there something?”
He frowned, and there was no emotion in his beautiful eyes, and there was no change. After he had left DEC, he had no longer paid any attention to him, and he was indifferent to his anger, as if he were facing some insignificant person.
But in fact, if he put you in his eyes, the corners of his lips would curve into a little smile when he talked to you, like a little bit of early spring that had fallen into an icy river.
Zhou Huang looked at him and only felt that he couldn’t catch his breath. An unknown fire suddenly rose in his heart, and it burned him uncomfortably.
“Aren’t you unyielding?” he suddenly said.
“?” Yu Lin was puzzled, and he frowned and looked at him. Because of the alcohol, his neck was flushed red under his cold face.
Zhou Huang’s family background was good, and he had played with countless people since he was a child. He was very familiar with his state.
“You’ve been drinking with someone?” Zhou Huang let out a cold laugh. “I said I’d help you pay it back, but you didn’t want it. Aren’t you short of money? What’s wrong? You’re unyielding with me, and you’re playing with someone else?”
“Dai Qiao said that you owe him three million. You think you can get rid of me like this, but that’s what you owe me. You can never pay it back.”
“I can.” Yu Lin said calmly.
He thought for a moment and said with confusion, “As for why I’m not with you, I’ve said it before. I don’t like you.”
He had come to this world early, and he had followed the plot step by step before. Zhou Huang’s behavior was a little abnormal, and he hadn’t paid much attention to it. After the plotline was over, it was not difficult to repay the debt.
Zhou Huang’s threat had no effect on him, and the money had already been entrusted to Dai Qiao to be repaid. He didn’t understand why the other party was holding on to him.
Zhou Huang looked at him and frowned fiercely. “Don’t be so sanctimonious. Have you found a better prospect? You don’t want me? Is there someone better than me? I heard that Dawn is going to officially announce you. Let me guess. You first begged Dai Qiao, and then who was it? Fang Cheng? Or Lin Qingchuan?”
“It can’t be Zhou Cheng, right? He’s about to retire. You’re trying to get a position by hooking up with him, and you’re letting him willingly let you be a support?”
Yu Lin frowned. The alcohol had made his brain not as clear as usual, and there was still one thing he didn’t understand.
So he slightly deviated from his persona, pressed his lips together lightly, and asked with confusion, “What does it have to do with you? I’ve paid you back the money. I’ve left DEC. What I do, who I’m with, does it have anything to do with you?”
Zhou Huang: “.”
Zhou Huang was furious.
He looked at Yu Lin’s eyelashes lifting slightly, and his face was cold. In the past, he would have glanced at him and smiled, but now, he hadn’t paid any attention to him for a long time, and his chest was heaving violently.
He said without thinking, “I know. It’s Zhuang Ningyu, right? You used to secretly watch his matches. You think I don’t know? You just like Zhuang Ningyu. You went to great lengths to get into Dawn just for Zhuang Ningyu, right?”
“So what if it is?” Yu Lin didn’t understand what he was angry about. Not to mention that Zhuang Ningyu was the important person to him, even according to the plot, he should have stayed by Zhuang Ningyu’s side.
Zhou Huang’s eyes were red. “What is he? Is he better than me? Is he richer than me? Can he take care of your family’s mess? Why? He’s just a damn gamer. What is he!!!!!”
Yu Lin didn’t want to get entangled with him anymore. He lifted his eyelids and suddenly asked, “Zhou Huang, do you want to get beaten up?”
“…” Zhou Huang suddenly sobered up a little.
Yu Lin would really hit people. Although he didn’t know how his seemingly thin frame could exert force, his punches were really painful. Zhou Huang had been beaten by him before and was a little afraid.
He was furious. “You’re hitting me for him? You’re hitting me for him?! You just like him!”
Yu Lin’s light-colored eyes were even colder and brighter under the light. He frowned slightly, still not understanding. “Who I like, does it have anything to do with you?”
His head was very dizzy. He no longer paid any attention to him and turned to leave. Just as he reached the corner, in the huge sound of a wall being smashed behind him, he saw the person who was leaning against the tiles outside, his eyelids slightly lowered, and he was looking over with a half-smile.
“…”
Yu Lin’s slightly numb brain from the alcohol hesitated for a moment, and he remembered his persona.
His eyelashes trembled very quickly. He turned his head away, not knowing how to cover up everything that had just happened.
He should have had a secret crush on Zhuang Ningyu, but Zhou Huang seemed to have just exposed his thoughts.
He would also hit people.
Even Yu Lin, who rarely made mistakes, was stunned for a moment at this scene. He looked at the cold white wall and couldn’t speak.
“Come here.” Zhuang Ningyu said.
Yu Lin buried his head and walked to his side and stood still. He took a deep breath, his chin lowered, and he turned his head away from him.
Zhuang Ningyu lowered his eyes and saw that he was like he had done something wrong. His eyelashes trembled, and only then did he say, “Captain.”
Zhuang Ningyu replied, “En.”
This “en” seemed to have startled him. The person under his eyelids opened his mouth, and after a pause, he stuttered and explained softly, “I… I’m not. You listen to my explanation.”
As he was explaining, his skin was already red, and now his eyelids and neck were all red.
Zhuang Ningyu was leaning against the wall and did not speak. His gaze was calm. His gaze fell on Yu Lin, and he waited for his explanation. After a long while, he heard a stutter.
“I don’t hit people much.”
Zhuang Ningyu had waited for a long time and had gotten such a sentence. He took a deep breath and felt that his self-control had completely disappeared.
Yu Lin’s cheek suddenly felt a chill, and he looked up in a daze.
Zhuang Ningyu didn’t know how long he had been standing outside. His hands were cold and were casually in his pockets.
He reached out and pressed on Yu Lin’s flushed cheek and said, “En, I know.”
He helped to explain, “The ones you hit are not people.”
Hearing this, Yu Lin hesitated for a moment. “Hmm?”
He himself was dazed. Zhuang Ningyu, who had been leaning against the wall and had been thinking about something, seemed to have figured it out at this moment, and he straightened up and looked over.
He had a very cold appearance, and his fans had joked that he could become a monk if he didn’t play games.
He felt the strange temperature in his chest, looked at Yu Lin, and his gaze slowly softened, and he suddenly asked, “And?”
“And…?”
“En.”
Yu Lin pressed his lips together, not knowing what he wanted to say. He shook his head gently. “I don’t know.”
Zhuang Ningyu suddenly said, “I know.”
In Yu Lin’s puzzled gaze, he opened his mouth. “I know. You don’t like anyone. You just like me, right?”
He took off his coat and lightly draped it over Yu Lin’s thin body, which was only wearing a black long-sleeved shirt.
He repeated in a low voice, “I know.”
