extra 5
Chu Jianxin couldn’t believe that Sang Jun would suddenly appear in the new game.
The club boss asked him to lead the team to the internal test area, but left Sang Jun in the Time Team. Partners who had known each other for four years and were inseparable have to be separated because of the project.
During this period of time, Chu Jianxin had been pretending to be nonchalant, but he had always been depressed. He always felt that something was missing, and his heart was empty. Even if he was facing a brand-new game, he had no excitement at all. His whole body was numb, and the reaction seemed to have become sluggish.
Until Sang Jun suddenly fell from the sky.
At that moment, he realised that what was missing was this old partner!
Without Sang Jun, he went to explore the new area alone with his team, which really didn’t have any motivation.
Looking at the ‘fool’ sent by Sang Jun, although it was a curse, his heart was warm. He rubbed his temples to stay awake, looked at the screen again, and found that the word was still there, not an illusion of his own.
Chu Jianxin was happy, he immediately burst his hand speed and quickly replied with a row of hugging emoticons: “It’s really you?”
Sang Jun: “En.”
Chu Jianxin: “Why did you suddenly come to the new game? Does captain Tan know?”
Sang Jun: “Yes, I’ve already told captain Tan and the boss. They agreed to let me come and explore the new area with you.”
Chu Jianxin: “Great!!!!!!”
A long string of exclamation marks represented his excitement at the moment.
In the training room, the other team members were still practicing seriously, and there was a crisp sound of tapping on the keyboard in their ears.
Since he led the team to Peerless Jianghu, he and Sang Jun had been sitting apart. Sang Jun was still in his original position, but Chu Jianxin and new team members had switched to another row of computers. When Chu Jianxin looked around and found that no one noticed him, he took off his earplugs, pretended to go to the bathroom, and walked past the second row of seats, aiming at Sang Jun’s position.
Sang Jun, who was sitting in front of the computer, suddenly looked back at him with a smile on his face.
Chu Jianxin, who was caught, blushed slightly and waved to Sang Jun.
Sang Jun got up and walked towards him.
They walked out of the training room together and came to the tea room. Chu Jianxin hit Sang Jun’s shoulder excitedly and said, “You! How did you persuade captain Tan and the boss? They agreed to let you help me with the new project?”
Sang Jun smiled and said, “Be reasonable and emotional, and they agreed.”
“The details?” Chu Jianxin asked.
Sang Jun explained, “There are several strong newcomers on Time’s side, all brought by captain Tan, and they can play directly next season. Even if I leave, it will not have any impact on the team as a whole. However, on the side of the new team, just you, Lin Yao and Wen Hua lead the team, and other newcomers have no competition experience. Once the league starts next year, if the results are not good, it will be unfavourable to be the opening.”
This was the aspect of ‘being reasonable’.
When Chu Jianxin heard this, he couldn’t help but wonder, “For the emotional one?”
Sang Jun was silent.
In fact, captain Tan didn’t want to let Sang Jun go, but Sang Jun said a word to Tan Shitian, “I like him, and I want to be with him.”
Tan Shitian had no choice but to agree, after all, if Sang Jun was forced to stay, he would become a villain who beat a mandarin duck.
However, Sang Jun wouldn’t tell Chu Jianxin the truth.
He smiled, looked gently at the person in front of him, and said, “I told captain Tan that Xiao Chu and I have known each other for four years, and our partnership for such a long time have long been accustomed to each other’s existence, and our tacit understanding is not comparable to that of others. I don’t want to be separated from Xiao Chu.”
Chu Jianxin: “…”
Suddenly, his eyes felt hot. It turned out that he didn’t think so by himself, and Sang Jun also didn’t want to be separated from him.
Chu Jianxin sniffed, stretched out his arms and hugged Sang Jun firmly, and said, “Good brother! We can work hard together again!”
Sang Jun calmly tightened his embrace.
Yes, we can be together again. I’m very satisfied even if I just accompany you as a teammate.
***
In the following days, with the addition of Sang Jun, the exploring process of Huaxia Club’s internal test became very smooth.
Everyone quickly cleared all the dungeons and got all the secret books. Sang Jun and Chu Jianxin worked together to study the combination of various sects, skills, and secret books. Returning to the dormitory every night, both of them were discussing some new discoveries in the game, as if they were back in their youthful years of looking forward to the future together.
Sang Jun was thoughtful and could find details that many people had overlooked.
At the beginning, he was active in thinking and was able to come up with many novel styles of play.
They complemented each other, and their understanding of this game was becoming more and more thorough.
After the internal test, the server was shut down and all the role data was cleared. While waiting for the public test to open, the club convened a meeting of members of the new team.
The name of the team was determined to be the Dynasty team. As for the captain, the boss wanted Chu Jianxin to take the post, but Chu Jianxin actively suggested, “Let Sang Jun be the captain. He is more careful than me, calmer than me, and his tactics, and also consciousness is also much stronger than me. When he plays games in the future, he will be more reliable in commanding team battles.”
Sang Jun: “…”
Boys of this age were more or less arrogant, especially the players who stood at the top of the esports league, most of them would think they were very good. It was rare to say that a partner was better than himself, as was the case with Chu Jianxin.
The boss was surprised, looking at him and asked, “Why? Xiao Chu, don’t you want to be the captain?”
Chu Jianxin scratched his head, smiled and said, “I really think Sangsang is better than me. It’s more suitable for him to be the captain.”
At this moment, Sang Jun suddenly said, “It’s better for you to be the captain.”

Chu Jianxin still wanted to speak, but the boss made a final decision. “That’s it. Xiao Chu, you’re the captain and Xiao Sang is vice captain. As for the command of team battles, there is no stipulation on who must command a team. You negotiate.”
Chu Jianxin had to stop arguing, and then nodded. “Okay.”
The first professional league of Peerless Jianghu officially opened. Under the leadership of Chu Jianxin and Sang Jun, Dynasty team of Huaxia Club experienced many ups and downs.
The emergence of Twin Stars, Han-Mo had become the biggest attraction in Peerless Jianghu.
Qin Mo returned to the league. Although he changed his career and played as swordsman, his strong consciousness and talent still couldn’t hide his demeanor after he changed to swordsman. With a sharp sword, he opened up a whole new world in the professional league of the experts like clouds. Coupled with Xiao Han’s escort, a world-class assassin, Mojue team had achieved outstanding results from the start of the individual competition, and it had been unstoppable. .
However, due to Sang Jun’s strong consciousness, deep understanding of the new game, and novel tactical thinking, in the later stage of team battle, the points of Dynasty quickly caught up, and even surpassed Mojue in the three-players stage to reach first place in the standings.
But Sang Jun knew in his heart that this was only a temporary first place.
Sure enough, after a period of rest in the three-player competition, Mojue began to exert force again in the final teamfight stage.
Dynasty and Mojue met in the finals.
In this battle, Sang Jun carefully prepared a lot of plans. In the case of the first two games being tied 1:1, he was more cautious in commanding the treasure hunt mode in the third game.
However, in the third game, Qin Mo took out the clock tactics, and a wave of team battle reversed the disadvantage in the early stage.
In the last few seconds of the game, Twin Stars joined forces to kill Wen Hua and instantly reversed the score.
1:2。
1:2.
After losing the final, Dynasty could only win second-place this season.
There would indeed be a bit of unwillingness, after all, after working hard for so long, they still missed the championship in the end.
But Sang Jun soon adjusted his mentality—— Qin Mo came back after injury, and still had such strong perseverance and walked all the way to the stage of the finals. Such a player deserved the respect of every professional player. There was nothing to complain about when he lost to Qin Mo and Xiao Han. He tried his best, he was convinced when he lost.
Sang Jun stood up with a smile and encouraged his teammates around him. “It doesn’t matter, it’s pretty good to win second place this season. We will continue to fight in the coming year.”
These were just necessary scenes, Chu Jianxin, as the captain, also echoed a few words, pretending not to care, and shook hands with Han-Mo and the others.
***
After returning to the hotel, Chu Jianxin finally couldn’t put it down. He was lying in bed looking at the ceiling. He said sadly, “After working hard for a whole year, we were only a little short of winning the championship. Sigh, if my support was fast enough, the treasure chest in the tiebreaker game would not have been lost…”
Looking at his lost appearance, Sang Jun then sat down by his bed, gently shook the back of his hand, and asked softly, “Are you very sad?”
Chu Jianxin nodded. “I am the captain and I can’t show it in front of the players, but I feel really uncomfortable in my heart.”
Sang Jun sighed lightly and said, “This is the game. If someone wins, someone will lose. A few years ago, when we were in Time team, we won the championship with captain Tan, and there were times when we couldn’t win any prizes. Aren’t you used to it?”
Chu Jianxin explained. “This is different. At that time, we were just a little footman in the Time Team. No matter what the final result was, captain Tan helped us. But now, we are the captain and vice captain, and the final result must be backed by both of us. Dynasty team feels like a child brought up by our own hands, and the feelings will naturally be deeper.”
“Our child?” Sang Jung smiled softly. “I remember, you joked that if we had child, we would call them Chu Xiaosang?”
Chu Jianxin’s face suddenly turned red, “Hey hey, why do you remember all my nonsense so clearly? It was all jokes…”
Sang Jun continued to laugh: “If Dynasty is our child, then you say, who is the father, who is the mother?”
Chu Jianxin frantically said, “Don’t hold on to this sentence. It’s just a metaphor. Do you understand the metaphor?”
Sang Jun looked at him carefully, and after a moment, he whispered, “Are you in a better mood?”
Chu Jianxin was stunned——he was surprised to find that the haze previously precipitated in his heart disappeared in an instant after Sang Jun took the topic astray.
Sang Jun really knew him well and could quickly untie his knots.
He was silent for a while before scratching his head, and smiled. “Actually, it’s not bad to get second place. Am I a bit hypocritical?”
Sang Jun replied, “No, it is only one step away from winning the championship. It is normal to feel regret. This is the truest feeling.”
Chu Jianxin thought for a moment and said, “Do you remember when you first arrived at Time team? The first time we formed a team to play in a partner challenge arena, we just matched Xiao Han and Qin Mo in the arena. They were using smurf accounts at that time. We didn’t know what was going on, so they killed us in seconds.”
Recalling the past when he was young, Sang Jun couldn’t help but smile. “Of course I remember that at that time we were still newbies, and we couldn’t live for ten seconds in the hands of god Han.”
Chu Jianxin laughed. “Yes, yes! At that time, I also said that one day, when we became stronger, we might be able to beat them. Unexpectedly, Qin Mo suddenly retired when he was only eighteen years old. After a few years, he came back and the whole person changed.” Saying this, Chu Jianxin gradually stopped smiling and said, “In recent years, everyone has changed a lot. Whether we, Qin Mo or Xiao Han, it feels as if they have grown up a lot, and they have to bear a lot more responsibilities.”
Sang Jun listened in silence.
After a few years, many things had indeed changed, but one thing hadn’t changed.
That’s the feeling of liking you.
Chu Jianxin exhaled gently and lay on the bed, shaking his feet as usual, smiling and saying, “I am already the captain of a team, and I personally led this team to win second-place of the first league. I didn’t dare to think about it before… Everyone in the Dynasty team, like a family, the atmosphere has always been very harmonious. There are you this powerful vice captain around, I think, I should be satisfied.”
Looking at the smile on his lips, Sang Jun stood up and picked up the slippers he had shaken off, and smiled, “I have a daily task as a vice captain, that is, to pick up slippers for you,”
Chu Jianxin was stunned, scratching his head and smiling, “Our family Sangsang is the most considerate.”
Sang Jun sighed lightly in his heart—— there was nothing he could do about him, he unconsciously teased him, simply challenging his bottom line repeatedly.
***
Dynasty won second-place, the boss was very happy, and gave other teams a day off, and everyone went out to eat together.
In the evening, as usual, there was a celebration banquet. When the dinner was over, everyone went to KTV. Chu Jianxin was pushed to the stage to sing, and Sang Jun requested the song ‘Liking You’ for him.
In recent years, every time they got together to sing, this song had almost become a must.
The team members didn’t respond. They thought Sang Jun liked the song very much. It happened that Chu Jianxin sang a Cantonese song very well.
But Tan Shitian already knew the truth. Listening to the familiar Prelude in his ear, he couldn’t help sighing gently, took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat to Sang Jun: “‘Liking You’ every time. Even if you let him sing it a hundred times, he can’t reflect what you mean.”
Sang Jun replied: “I know.”
Tan Shitian asked: “Are you going to spend it like this all the time?”
Sang Jun raised his head and just looked at Chu Jianxin.
He took the microphone and sang very attentively. When he saw Sang Jun looking at him, he smiled and went on singing.
His eyes were so frank, pure and without impurities that Sang Jun felt guilty instead.
Looking at WeChat on his mobile phone, Sang Jun was silent for a moment before he replied: “I’m afraid that once I confess, I will break the beauty in his heart.”
After all, in Chu Jianxin’s heart, they were good brothers who treated each other with sincerity. They had worked hard and struggled together since they were teenagers. Today, they had become captain and vice captain of the Dynasty. Such friendship was too rare. If he let him know that the person he always thought was a good brother had long been in love with him many years ago, and even suppressed the idea of kissing him, holding him and possessing him, it would probably be very difficult for him to accept and disillusioned.
Seeing this reply, Tan Shitian sent a thumb expression: “You really can bear it.”
Sang Jun was a little curious: “When captain Tan chased god Wei, how did he react? Did he agree soon?”
Tan Shitian: “Xiao Wei’s mind is very simple and easy to coax. In addition, he is quite dependent on me, and he didn’t struggle long after I said it, so he jumped into my arms obediently.”
Sang Jun smiled: “That’s really different. I guess, if I reveal it, Chu Jianxin will probably beat me up, not to mention throwing himself into my arms.”
Tan Shitian: “[lit candle]”
In fact, Sang Jun hadn’t confessed his love until now, not because he didn’t dare, but because he couldn’t bear it.
He couldn’t bear to destroy the beauty in Chu Jianxin’s heart.
***
The next afternoon, teammates Lin Yao and Wen Hua booked a flight home, just as the flight time of the two was relatively close, so Sang Jun took the initiative to drive them, and Chu Jianxin actively followed them.
The club was quite far away from the airport. Fortunately, there was no traffic jam on the highway. Chu Jianxin sat in the passenger seat and chatted with the two people in the back row, while Sang Jun concentrated on driving.
After arriving at the airport, Sang Jun went to stop the car, and Chu Jianxin went to check in with his two teammates.
The three were looking for the check-in window in the hall. Suddenly, a girl in high heels walked too fast. Her luggage collided with theirs. All three suitcases fell to the ground like a domino effect.
The girl leaned over and pulled up the suitcase that fell to the ground, and said, “Sorry, I didn’t pay attention just now.”
Lin Yao said hurriedly, “It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Chu Jianxin was stunned, raised his head and said, “Xiao Min?”
The other party was also stunned for a moment, looked back at him carefully, and then confirmed, “Jianxin?”
Chu Jianxin replied, “En, it’s me…”
He Min said, “What a coincidence, what are you doing here?”
Chu Jianxin blushed and scratched his head, “I-I send my friends. How about you?”
He Min replied, “I am also sending my friend.”
Standing next to her was a tall blonde foreigner who couldn’t help saying, “NO, you are sending your boyfriend, Boy-Firend.”
He Min reluctantly smiled and bluntly introduced, “He is my boyfriend.”
The handsome foreign guy was happy, he put his arms around her shoulders with a grin, and said to Chu Jianxin in bad Chinese. “Hello, I’m happy to meet you.”
Chu Jianxin: “…”
I’m not happy to see you!
The handsome foreign guy was very tall and was more than ten centimetres taller than himself. The identity of this ex-boyfriend was really embarrassing, Chu Jianxin was frozen in place and didn’t know what to do.
Just then, Sang Jun came over and saw that Chu Jianxin’s face was flushed and at a loss. He frowned and asked, “What’s the matter?”
As if he had caught a life-saving straw, Chu Jianxin immediately hid behind Sang Jun and said, “Cough, that, we should go back, too. Goodbye!”
He Min replied, “En, goodbye.”
The handsome foreign man followed, “Byebye!”
They turned and left. Chu Jianxin also hurriedly turned and wanted to go. Lin Yao and Wen Hua looked at each other. Sang Jun looked at Chu Jianxin and turned back to the two team friends and said, “Go to the security check as soon as possible. I’ll go back with captain Chu first.”
Lin Yao and Wen Hua quickly nodded and said goodbye to them.
After returning to the parking lot, Chu Jianxin sat in the passenger seat and took a long breath.
“Who is she?” Sang Jun asked calmly.
Chu Jianxin: “Ah?”
Sang Jun: “That girl just now.”
Chu Jianxin was so embarrassed that he didn’t know how to explain it. He scratched his head so hard that he almost scratched his scalp.
“Is it the legendary ex-girlfriend?” Sang Jun said faintly.
Chu Jianxin was stunned. “How do you know?”
Sang Jun explained, “I heard that when I first joined the team, it was said that your two families lived next to each other, grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Later, she graduated from high school and studied abroad, and your long-distance relationship didn’t last long before you broke up. It seems that she has found a new boyfriend now.”
Chu Jianxin: “…”
Sang Jun’s words made him feel a little uncomfortable, in fact, the reason for the breakup was not just a long-distance relationship, but that he was not sensible enough and didn’t know how to care about and considerate girls. A girl should be disappointed with a boyfriend like him, so they broke up.
Chu Jianxin was still young at the time and didn’t know how to cherish the person he liked. Although he lost contact after breaking up, he couldn’t forget.
Although the time they spent together was very short, they only reached the level of holding hands, but in Chu Jianxin’s heart, the girl was always a beautiful existence.
After a few years, she had grown up and matured a lot. Her boyfriend was very handsome and seemed very good to her…
He should let it go completely, but he still couldn’t help feeling sad.
Chu Jianxin hung his head and didn’t want to speak, his eyes were red.
Sang Jun didn’t break the silence, but looked calmly at the highway ahead, holding the steering wheel and tightening his hand lightly.
***
After returning to the team, Chu Jianxin kept his head down and didn’t speak, and walked straight into the bedroom like a walking corpse.
Sang Jun knocked on his door and said, “In a bad mood? Would you like to go out for a drink?”
“Don’t you laugh at me?” Chu Jianxin’s face was a little ugly.
Sang Jun said, “Why would I laugh at you? If you feel uncomfortable in your heart, you can talk to me, and it will make you feel better.”
Chu Jianxin nodded and went out with Sang Jun.
Both of them ordered a row of cocktails in a small bar near the team, and Chu Jianxin directly got rid of several glasses, and tears were about to come out.
It was only then that he dared to speak. “At the beginning, I courted the disaster myself. I didn’t know how to cherish Xiao Min, and I never thought about her. She was alone abroad, so far away, she called me in the middle of the night. I actually hung up her phone in order to play the game. I later found out that she was sick that day and called me in the hospital. She must have been particularly disappointed with me…”
“When she proposed to break up, I didn’t ask her to stay. I was just a video game player. She got good grades, went abroad to study, and came back after taking the master’s degree in the future. She was also Ms. Perfect who has come back to China after gaining overseas experience. Where am I worthy of her? I might as well break up early…” Chu Jianxin said, drinking another glass of wine, and blushing, “Seeing her today, she really has a different temperament. In fact, I don’t have any other ideas. I feel a little uncomfortable… And I’m very happy for her. After leaving this b*stard boyfriend, she looks like she’s doing well.”
Sang Jun didn’t speak all the time, but became a listener in silence.
He could understand Chu Jianxin’s feelings. In fact, many people did this to their first girlfriend—— they didn’t want to redeem anything, but they felt more complicated when they saw that the person they once liked was doing well and had a new boyfriend.
Chu Jianxin started talking nonsense after drinking too much. Sang Jun put away all the wine glasses on the table and directly carried him back to the team.
Originally, he only wanted to put him in the bedroom, but this guy held Sang Jun and refused to let go.
Sang Jun tried to open his fingers hard, but he hugged him more tightly.
As a result, both of them fell down on the bed, and Sang Jun pressed on Chu Jianxin in an ambiguous position.
Chu Jianxin was lying on the bed with his hands and feet like an octopus wrapped around Sang Jun. His eyes were red, and his mouth was still yelling, “Don’t go… I don’t want to be alone… Sangsang, can you stay? …I feel uncomfortable…I feel uncomfortable in my heart… Stay with me for a while…”
Sang Jun’s head exploded with a ‘boom’
He looked at Chu Jianxin’s face close in front of him, and his eyes gradually became extremely deep.
Chu Jianxin was still saying, “Stay with me for a while…”
Sang Jun heard his voice hoarse with depression, “Are you sure, you want me to stay with you?”
Chu Jianxin’s mind was completely blank. He just wanted to find someone to accompany him. Hearing this, he nodded without hesitation.
But the next moment, a fierce kiss fell on his lips.
“Wu…”
Chu Jianxin had no idea where he was. He only felt a flexible tongue break into his mouth and licked him around, almost swallowing him.
The original smell of alcohol spread, the head became more dizzy, Chu Jianxin had to open his mouth wide to catch his breath, but this action made it more convenient for Sang Jun to invade.
A deep and strong kiss suppressed many years of emotion.
It was so hot that it almost burned them into ashes.
Sang Jun hugged the person on the bed tightly, and continued to deepen his kiss, wishing to eat the other person as a whole.
Only when Chu Jianxin had difficulty breathing and flushed cheeks, he gasped and let go of the other gently.
Chu Jianxin seemed to have no idea what had happened. He looked at him with confused eyes, and the ambiguous liquid after being kissed was still on his lips.
Sang Jun smiled slightly, lightly licked the transparent liquid on his lips, and said softly, “You used to be young and missed a good girl. But now, when you grow up, you should know how to cherish a person—— from now on, you will have me by your side., and put your next feelings on me, okay?”
The voice was gentle, and almost seductive.
Chu Jianxin’s brain was completely numb at this time. He didn’t know what Sang Jun said. He only heard the last three words: okay?
So he subconsciously nodded and said, “Okay.”
Sang Jun’s smile was deeper, taking off both him and Chu Jianxin’s shoes and clothes, turning over to lie on the bed, and gently hugging Chu Jianxin into his arms.
Okay.
That’s what you said.
So, I don’t have to bear it anymore, right?
Hmmmmmm Sang Jun, I think you can’t take that drunken confused “OK” as an OK……. lolol… but yay, progress! I guess. Maybe. Lol.
Thanks for the translation!
Lol, he already said okay, in daze, Sang Jun is really good for grasping the opportunity 😏
