Four years ago, Beijing, Huaxia club.
Sang Jun took an afternoon flight to Beijing. It was already dark when he took a taxi from the airport to the club. He took his suitcase from the taxi, stood at the door of the club, took a picture with his mobile phone at the words ‘Huaxia Club’, and sent a message to the person on WeChat who was marked ‘Empress Dowager’: “Arrived smoothly, please rest assured.”
The other party soon replied with a string of text messages: “Junjun, you are so young, and you have gone all the way to Beijing. Mom still doesn’t feel at ease. Is Beijing cold? Besides, the haze is serious over there. Will you get lung disease if you smoke haze every day?”
Sang Jun replied helplessly: “I’m eighteen years old, and I’m not too young. Also, don’t call me Junjun, listening to it gives me a toothache.”
The Empress Dowager: “However, mom is more worried about your s*xuality. You say that you don’t like good girls, but you like men. Your esports club is full of boys…”
Sang Jun had some headaches and typed back: “I’m not looking for a partner in the club. Besides, how many of the teenagers with acne who play esports look good? I may not be attracted to the ugly face.”
He was sending WeChat to his mother when he heard a clear voice in his ear, “Hey, who are you? Why are you standing at the door of our club?”
Sang Jun looked up.
The street lamp at the entrance of the club was a little dim, and the young man’s face was like a soft warm light under the street lamp. His facial features were clear and well-defined, and short bangs fell above his eyebrows, just revealing the pair of flying knife-shaped eyebrows. Although he was young, he looked a little young and inexperienced, but his face was full of youthful vitality.
…He took back that sentence just now.
Those who played esports also had good-looking ones, such as the one in front of him.
Sang Jun stepped forward and said, “Hello, my name is Sang Jun. I’m a newcomer to the club.”
The other party’s eyes were originally full of curiosity, and when he heard this, he immediately got excited. “You are Sang Jun! Hello, my name is Chu Jianxin! Captain Tan told me that you are the newcomer recruited by the club some time ago. From now on, we will live together, please take care of me!” He stretched out his hand as he spoke.
Sang Jun didn’t know that the roommate arranged by the club was Chu Jianxin, and he didn’t expect that before he entered the door, the roommate came out.
Seeing Chu Jianxin smiling, Sang Jun stretched out his hand and said, “Please take care of me.”
In fact, he didn’t like to get too close to people, but he had a natural familiarity with Chu Jianxin. After shaking his hand, he also took the initiative to help him lift his luggage. He enthusiastically said, “I’ll help you. Go back to the dormitory and settle down first. I have cleaned your bedroom. At this point, the supermarket has not closed yet. If you want to buy something, just tell me and I will take you.”
Sang Jun gave a faint ‘En’ and went upstairs with Chu Jianxin.
The conditions of the club were better than he thought. The dormitory area on the second floor was neatly pasted with room numbers.
As he walked, Chu Jianxin introduced him. “Room 201 is where captain Tan and vice captain Cheng live together. As a comprehensive club in China, we have our own teams in several games. Miracle is the Time Team, which is currently led by captain Tan. I heard the captain Tan say that you are interviewing for the Miracle project, playing assassin, right?”
Looking back, Chu Jianxin found that Sang Jun stuffed his finger in his trouser pocket with a calm and indifferent expression, without the curiosity and bewilderment of the newcomer who had just entered the club.
Having said so much, he didn’t seem to listen much…

Chu Jianxin’s accent sounded like a Beijing native, and the teenager had the directness and frankness of a Beijing people, and he was very enthusiastic. Even if Sang Jun’s personality didn’t like to be too close to others, he didn’t resent it when he took the initiative to introduce the club to him.
He followed Chu Jianxin all the way into the dormitory, and after putting down his suitcase, he felt that his stomach was growling with hunger. He was wondering if he should go out to find something to eat, so he heard Chu Jianxin ask, “by the way, would you like to go out and get something to eat? I was going downstairs to eat, but I was so excited to see you that I almost forgot about it.”
Sang Jun wondered. “What is so exciting to see about me?”
Chu Jianxin laughed. “After training every day, when I get back to the dormitory, there is no one to talk to. It is better to have a roommate to discuss what I have learned than to think about it alone.”
Sang Jun looked up at him. He stood at the door scratching his head, looking a little silly, but his smile was pure and clean.
Both of them were about eighteen years old, but Sang Jun was a few centimeters taller than the other and looked much more mature than the other.
Chu Jianxin, who was simple minded, was still smiling and scratching his head. “Are you going to eat? Why don’t I buy you some? In the future, we will be roommates, just to get to know each other.”
“Okay.” Sang Jun’s lips curved up slightly.
***
They came to a roast duck restaurant near the club. Chu Jianxin insisted on asking Sang Jun to taste the authentic Beijing roast duck. He even enthusiastically picked up the rolled-up pastries and taught Sang Jun how to roll it so it would be delicious.
Sang Jun had never met such a warm-hearted person. It was like both of them were old friends for more than ten years…
“Say, where’s your hometown?” While eating, Chu Jianxin asked.
“Suzhou.” Sang Jun replied.
Chu Jianxin nodded. “I guess you are also a southerner, and your skin is so white, unlike us the rough guys from the north, who are exposed to the weather all day long.”
“Did you grow up in Beijing?” Sang Jun asked about this topic.
“How do you know?” Chu Jianxin was stunned.
“Your character is very bold and unrestrained.” Sang Jun replied.
Chu Jianxin was happy. “Haha, we just complement each other. You are the Jiangnan’s graceful faction, and I am Beijing’s bold and unrestrained faction… Come and have a glass of boiled water for our friendship!”
Sang Jun: “…”
Seeing that he was laughing happily, he also took the initiative to pick up the plain water in front of him. Sang Jun smiled and bumped the glass with him helplessly.
Naive.
Such a small thing makes you so happy.
Simple-minded and warm-hearted, he’s a simple person who can be a friend.
That was Sang Jun’s first impression of his new roommate, Chu Jianxin.
At that time, he hadn’t thought that he would be tempted by this naive guy, and even fell into the abyss of unrequited love, and never recovered.

After the two went back after a meal, Tan Shitian and Cheng Wei took the initiative to knock on the door.
That was the first time Sang Jun saw both great gods, Tan-Cheng. Even if his personality was indifferent, he was very respectful to these predecessors and greeted them politely. “Captain Tan, god Wei.”
Captain Tan had a good temper and patted him on the shoulder with a smile, saying, “If Xiao Chu hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known you had arrived. It’s too late today, you should have a good rest first, come to the training room tomorrow morning, and I will formally introduce you to everyone.”
Beside him, Cheng Wei said, “Sang Jun, ha, you really have a handsome look, your parents give you a good name!”
Sang Jun: “…”
The vice-captain was a little out of line, and it seemed that the captain was more reliable.
He nodded to Tan Shitian and said, “Captain Tan and god Wei, too, go back and rest. See you tomorrow.”
After seeing them off, Chu Jianxin immediately closed the door and leaned over and said mysteriously, “I’m telling you, Vice captain Cheng used to do nothing, but recently he started running the training camp, but in a strange way, every morning, he would spend an hour playing an one-on-one rotary fight with the newcomers in the training camp and won him, and he rewarded him with a bag of biscuits. If you lose to him, buy him a bag of cookies. In this way, he saves a lot of money on snacks.”
Sang Jun: “…..”
Seeing that Sang Jun’s face was stiff, Chu Jianxin couldn’t help laughing and said, “It’s funny, right? In fact, there are a lot of interesting things in our Time team. After you stay for a long time, you will find that the atmosphere in the team is very good. Captain Tan is very gentle and kind, never putting on the airs of captain, and Vice captain Cheng feels like a child who has not grown up. The newcomers in the training camp are also very easy to get along with. In the future, no matter what difficulties you have, you can always ask me for help. I grew up in the capital, and I am more familiar with this side than you. We are good brothers. As long as you open your mouth, I will never object!”
Sang Jun: “…..”
So, does it only take a meal for you and a person to change from a ‘stranger’ to a ‘good brother’?
Sang Jun was careful and would consider many factors in making friends, but Chu Jianxin was obviously simple-minded. In his opinion, he was already a teammate and roommate anyway, no matter what the other person’s character was, he must become a good brother. Sol, he said ‘no matter what difficulties you have, you can always ask me for help.’
To his bright eyes, Sang Jun quietly looked away and said, “Thank you. I’m a little tired. You should have a rest, too.”
Chu Jianxin said, “Okay, training starts at 9am in the morning. Remember to set the alarm clock!”
He waved his hand, smiled at Sang Jun, closed the door and went out.
Sang Jun frowned slightly as he sat on the edge of the bed. He was a little surprised to find that Chu Jianxin’s brilliant smile just now was still in his mind.
Really, you can laugh at everything, why do you love to laugh so much?
***
The next morning, when Sang Jun got up, Chu Jianxin was doing morning exercises in the living room—— this guy bought a pair of barbells and was doing squatting exercises holding the barbells with both hands.
The boy’s body had just developed. Because he was thin, he didn’t have large muscles, but looked very neat.
Early in the morning, he wore only shorts and a short sleeves, revealing a pair of strong and beautiful long legs. Every time he squatted down with a barbell, his hips wrapped in shorts were strong and tight.
Sang Jun immediately looked away.
Chu Jianxin found himself standing in the same place and looking at him. He put down the barbell and said with embarrassment, “Did I disturb you?”
“No, I set an alarm clock and just got up.” Sang Jun bypassed him and went to the bathroom to wash.
Chu Jianxin followed him. Because he had just exercised, he had a layer of fine sweat on his body, his jaw was dripping sweat constantly, and his thin short sleeves were pasted on his body to outline the thin waistline. Chu Jianxin leaned against the door and said, “I have to exercise for a while every morning, although my body is not very good and I don’t have too many muscles.” Then he clenched his fist and touched his arm, hge was worried. “Sigh, lifting barbells every day still doesn’t grow meat.”
Seeing his frowning look, Sang Jun suddenly felt that this Chu Jianxin was a little cute, and a smile appeared on the corners of his lips.
But the next second, he couldn’t smile.
Because Chu Jianxin suddenly stretched out his hand, gently touched his arm, and said, “I can’t tell, you are so refined on the surface, you actually have more muscles than mine.”
The sudden physical contact made Sang Jun’s back stiff.
Looking back, he just saw a drop of sweat sliding into the collar of the other party’s delicate collarbone.
Sang Jun couldn’t help swallowing his saliva.
If he was just an ordinary boy, this contact between the same sex was nothing, but he liked men. Chu Jianxin’s unknowingly provocation was the most deadly…
Sang Jun took a deep breath and quickly calmed his mind. His voice was a little hoarse. “Don’t you go eat?”
“Waiting for you, let’s go together!” Chu Jianxin smiled.
Sang Jun nodded. “I wash my face first, wait for me for five minutes.”
After he said that, he closed the door of the bathroom, and Chu Jianxin scratched his head in doubt—— is it necessary to close the door when washing his face? I still want to talk to you.
