Chapter 67
Shen Yanjin also hadn’t expected Lu Yuan to come here inexplicably.
If it were anyone else at this moment, they would have long discovered he was actually holding a key. However, this fool Lu Yuan truly took him for a pervert plotting against Duan Mingyue, trying to sneak into his room. She stepped forward directly to pull Shen Yanjin’s arm. “You’re crazy…! You shamelessā”
“Stop, stop, stop, stop, stopā”
Hearing the commotion, Kai ran over in a panic and separated the two supports. “What are you guys doing in the middle of the night?”
With a bystander present, Lu Yuan immediately changed her face, pointing at Shen Yanjin as if she had suffered a great grievance. “He’s prying the Captain’s door!”
Shen Yanjin stood there, the indifference and disgust on his face displayed without reservation. He looked at Lu Yuan coldly, his posture so aloof it seemed he was watching a ridiculous performance.
Kai knew clearly in his heart about his captain’s relationship with Sliver. Plus, Lu Yuan was already a “dead person” in his mind who would leave KW quickly once her contract expired, so his attitude naturally favored Shen Yanjin more. “What prying door? Are you crazy? Daring to say anything randomly?”
Lu Yuan said, “Then what is he doing squatting at the Captain’s door in the middle of the night?”
Kai cursed inwardly: Whatever the young couple does is their business; what’s it to you? But he had to deal with it verbally, “Can’t you see the key in Sliver’s hand?”
Lu Yuan’s expression froze, only then seeing the item in Shen Yanjin’s hand. “That… that isn’t necessarily given by the Captain…”
“If not given by the Captain, where did it come from?” Kai was about to be annoyed to death by her. “Maybe the Captain wanted him to enter the room?”
Lu Yuan stopped talking.
Looking at the woman before him, Kai sighed, thinking a bit sadly: That shy and gentle girl from six years ago was finally thoroughly swallowed by material desires and disappeared.
Before, she just liked Duan Mingyue and pulled some petty moves in private. It didn’t affect matches, so annoying as it was, he pretended not to see.
Since Shen Yanjin arrived… no, it should be since returning to the country after Worlds, Lu Yuan had changed.
Logically, KW and Duan Mingyue should have replaced Lu Yuan long ago.
But Lu Yuan’s fan base and popularity were extremely high. She was a woman adept at superficial work, crowned with various honors. A beautiful female esports player with excellent results naturally received countless people’s flattery and affection.
If she cruelly bit back, the scene would turn into “the barefoot not fearing those wearing shoes.” After all, they hadn’t reached the step of tearing faces apart yet.
In previous seasons, the club also looked for a few supports, but those people either had problems in scrims, ran away inexplicably right after signing, or refused outright upon hearing KW’s name.
Plus, aside from her skill being a bit lacking, Lu Yuan didn’t do anything particularly heinous, so it dragged on.
And Shen Yanjin’s arrival undoubtedly broke this weird stalemate.
As soon as he came, he first showed off his skills, securing the substitute position, and even threatening the starter position.
Following that, he even took down the tough bone that was Duan Mingyue.
Thinking of the time he accidentally discovered the Captain secretly holding the little Support’s hand, Kai panicked inside. To think he thought Duan Mingyue was a gentlemanāturns out the gender just wasn’t right!
He glanced at Lu Yuan’s ugly expression, suddenly remembering something, and asked, “What are you doing here then?”
Lu Yuan opened her mouth but didn’t speak.
But Shen Yanjin had already guessed the reason: he didn’t follow her wishes, so to retaliate, she ran to find Duan Mingyue, wanting to expose the matter regarding his sexual orientation.
If he and Duan Mingyue didn’t have so much backstory, this move by Lu Yuan would truly have put him to death.
Shen Yanjin could accept being disliked and questioned by anyone, except Duan Mingyue.
He looked at Lu Yuan coldly, the corner of his mouth suddenly pulling up in a mocking arc.
Just then, the adjacent elevator made a working sound.
Duan Mingyue, having finally finished his shooting work, walked out of the elevator. Looking at the three people gathered in front of his door, he was obviously somewhat surprised too.
He stepped out of the elevator, his handsome brows furrowing. “What scene is this again?”
Seeing Duan Mingyue, Kai was a bit cowardly. “Uh, Captain, it’s justāHoly crap! Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!!”
Shen Yanjin walked up, hooked his arm around the man’s neck, and accurately kissed those slightly cool lips.
Then, he turned his head and looked at the two people frozen in place with looks of having seen a ghost.
In his heart, sparks of impulse and revenge jumped cracklingly, stirring up a weird pleasure in his brain.
Lu Yuan’s face was pale as paper, obviously hit hard. Her body swayed; she could almost not stand. Her fingers trembled. “Y-You guys? You guys???”
She let out a short scream but couldn’t say anything more. Retreating several steps, she leaned against the wall, knees softening, slowly sliding down, then covered her face and started crying.
If it were just Shen Yanjin kissing Duan Mingyue, Lu Yuan wouldn’t have had such a big reaction.
But she clearly saw that Duan Mingyue, embraced by Shen Yanjin, not only didn’t resist or show disgust but even reached out to support the youth’s waist when he reached for his lips.
“Enough.” Duan Mingyue was fairly calm. He didn’t spare half a glance for the girl crying on the ground, only saying to Kai, who stood there dumbstruck like a wooden chicken, “It’s late. Go back and rest, and take her back too.”
Finished, he very naturally took the key from Shen Yanjin’s hand, opened the door, and the two walked in together.
The door closed, leaving only Lu Yuan’s low sobbing in the corridor.
Kai wiped his face. My god, Sliver doesn’t show the mountain or reveal the water, looking so introverted, I never thought he would do such a thing.
He tugged helplessly at the mess on the ground. “People are gone. Stop crying, get up.”
“I don’t believe it!” Lu Yuan lifted her face, asking incomprehensibly, “He is a homosexual! How come you guys have no reaction?”
“…” Kai absolutely didn’t expect that in this day and age, there were still such old-fashioned antiques among his peers. He knew very well that reasoning with Lu Yuan wouldn’t work, so he only said, “Are you getting up or not?”
Lu Yuan ignored him, continuing to lower her head and wipe tears, looking pitiful like pear blossoms bathed in rain, but her mouth muttered curses solely at Shen Yanjin.
Kai couldn’t stand listening and was too lazy to care anymore, patting his butt and leaving directly.
Lu Yuan still had a bit of pride after all. After crying for a while, seeing no one really paid attention to her, she gave a resentful look at the closed door in front of her, slowly stood up, and left.
—
Inside the room, Duan Mingyue held the youth who refused to lift his head, somewhat amused. “Weren’t you very capable just now? Cowardly now?”
Shen Yanjin tilted his head to kiss Duan Mingyue’s neck, feeling a bit guilty. “She knows our relationship. Will she…”
“She won’t.” Duan Mingyue saw through what he was thinking at a glance. “As long as her family still wants to continue, she won’t come to touch my bad luck.”
The Lu family was considered half a wealthy aristocratic family, but having changed heads in recent years, they were gradually declining. Initially, Lu Yuan and Duan Mingyue joining the same team was indeed just a coincidence, but after the change of family head, the Lu family set their sights on Duan Mingyue.
Lu Yuan already had this intention, and with her family’s fueling, she became even more emboldened.
However, the falling flower has intent, but the flowing water has no feeling; Duan Mingyue’s attitude toward her had always been cold. Lu Yuan used every means, even employing family connections to covertly force away several supports, just to stay in the position beside Duan Mingyue.
Did she like Duan Mingyue the person that much? Not necessarily.
But saying she was infatuated with Duan Mingyue’s family background was undoubted.
Really comparing, the Lu family only had the share of being shrimp crushed by the Duan family. So, Lu Yuan might be rude to Shen Yanjin, but she couldn’t possibly touch Shen Yanjin who was with Duan Mingyue.
Hearing Duan Mingyue’s assurance, Shen Yanjin breathed a sigh of relief. He calmed down a bit now, feeling he could have handled this matter better. He was too impulsive and couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed.
If only Lu Yuan was there, it would be fine, but… Kai was also there.
How did he dare?
Seeing Shen Yanjin really torn, Duan Mingyue didn’t pretend to hide it. “Don’t worry. Kai knew long ago.”
“Ah?” Shen Yanjin was stunned. “He knew long ago?”
Duan Mingyue raised his hand, gently rubbing his earlobe with his thumb. “Yes. Rather than worrying about that, why don’t you tell me what exactly happened just now?”
Shen Yanjin remembered the recording in his phone and hesitated.
Duan Mingyue was somewhat helpless, thinking it wasn’t a good thing for his boyfriend to be too laissez-faire.
He spoke, “Five years ago, someone impersonated me and sent you a message asking you to leave.”
Shen Yanjin looked at Duan Mingyue, obviously not understanding why he brought this up now.
Duan Mingyue said faintly, “That person was Lu Yuan.”
Shen Yanjin’s body trembled.
It was herā
Making him and Duan Mingyue miss each other for five whole years.
He closed his eyes, took out his phone, and sent the recording to Duan Mingyue.
After listening to the recording, Duan Mingyue didn’t express an opinion but kissed Shen Yanjin. “Ignore it. This matter will end very soon.”
Shen Yanjin nodded.
Duan Mingyue pulled Shen Yanjin’s hand again, touching it to his own body. He was still wearing the suit, exuding a charm completely different from usual. He asked Shen Yanjin, “Like it?”
Shen Yanjin blushed, nodding honestly. Without Duan Mingyue needing to tease further, he spontaneously unzipped his team uniform.
Duan Mingyue smiled, lowered his head, and kissed his lips.
Duan Mingyue indeed wasn’t joking.
On the morning of KW’s second preseason match, a trending search appeared out of nowhere, directly squeezing down a crowd of celebrity scandals to top the list.
