Chu Jianxin originally thought that he could quickly calm down and forget this matter, and then return to the previous friendship with Sang Jun..
But he didn’t expect that after falling asleep that night, he actually had a dream—— the scene of Sang Jun kissing him in the car reappeared in the dream. The touch was so clear that his back was numb. When he woke up from his dream in the middle of the night, his body actually reacted.
Chu Jianxin felt like he was struck by lightning, sitting on the bed and rubbing his hair vigorously, and then ran into the bathroom to take a cold shower in annoyance.
In the latter half of the night, he didn’t fall asleep at all, so he had to lean on the bedside holding his mobile phone, opened the bookstore and looked at the detective novel for a while and washed his eyes. Detective novels were too brainstorming, and his attention was completely attracted by the serial murders. While reading and speculating on the murderer, he really forgot about Sang Jun.
As it was dawn, his eyes were sour, and his headache was like an electric drill drilling his head.
Anyway, he couldn’t sleep, and simply got out of bed.
Upon coming to the dining room, his parents had already got up and saw him as if they had seen a ghost. “What are you doing? Your hair is messy like a chicken nest!”
Chu Jianxin was stunned, looking in the mirror, he really looked like a madman, his hair was so messy that he scratched it, and his eyes were like pandas because he stayed up from early morning to dawn. As for the obvious bloodshot eyes, it was from reading detective novels.
“Cough, I had insomnia last night, I didn’t sleep well.” He went into the bathroom casually.
Outside the door came his mother’s concerned voice, “Why didn’t you sleep well? The bed at home is not as comfortable as in your team? Or is the heating too hot?”
Chu Jianxin replied, “No, I had a nightmare in the middle of the night, and I couldn’t sleep after waking up.”
—— Is it considered a nightmare?
Unexpectedly, he dreamed about the scene where Sang Jun kissed him and even dreamed it several times.
Chu Jianxin quickly cleaned himself up, combed his hair in front of the mirror and looked refreshed, so he turned and went to the dining room.
There was milk and bread on the table. It was the breakfast that his mother used to prepare when he was at home. Inexplicably, he looked at the breakfast on the table and had no appetite. When he was in the team, he ate breakfast with Sang Jun. They usually ate soybean milk and steamed meat buns. The meat buns in the team canteen were delicious. If he got up late, Sang Jun would go down to buy them in advance and take them back to the dormitory for him..
Today, there were no steamed buns, milk and bread slices, and it seemed that there was no taste in his mouth …
“Why are you in a daze?” Seeing him in a daze, his father couldn’t help knocking on the table and said, “Xiao Min from next door has returned home, you know?”
“…” Chu Jianxin came back to his senses, with an embarrassed expression on his face, “I know, I happened to meet her at the airport that day with her foreign boyfriend.”
“Foreign boyfriend? I haven’t heard of it.” Father Chu looked at his wife and said, “Have you heard? Xiao Min has a new boyfriend?”
“There seems to be such a thing, but I think this kind of foreign boyfriend is just for young people to play with. She can’t marry abroad, right? Our Jianxin still has a chance.”
Hearing this, Chu Jianxin’s scalp was about to explode. “What chance! I broke up with her 800 years ago. Don’t worry about it. Xiao Min is doing well now, and I’m not suitable for her. We’ve long passed that matter. Don’t mention it again.”
Mother Chu suddenly realised. “Oh, it seems that you don’t like her anymore? Didn’t you chase her all the time when you were a child?”
Chu Jianxin coughed awkwardly. “At that time, I was young and not sensible. Now, when I see her, I just feel a little complicated. I don’t feel the heartbeat as before.”
Mother Chu beamed a smile, “Do you still know the ‘feeling of heartbeat’? So describe it, what is this feeling like?”
Chu Jianxin said, “That is, my heart beats faster when I see that person. I always think of that person and can dream of that person.”
As soon as he said this, he was stunned—— F*ck, isn’t this what he feels for Sang Jun?
After getting drunk and kissing that night, he always felt wrong when he saw Sang Jun. His heart beat so fast that he didn’t dare to look at him, but he kept thinking about him, dreaming about him, and because of his insomnia, he even came up with a way to distract himself from reading serial murder novels, so as to drive the distractions out of his mind.
The feeling of heartbeat?
So, was he attracted to Sang Jun?
F*ck!
Chu Jianxin sprayed out a mouthful of milk, spraying it to mother Chu’s face.
Mother Chu was very unhappy, wiping her face with tissue and scolding, “What are you doing? Suddenly spraying milk, are you three years old?”
Father Chu smiled and said, “Jianxin, you go home and make a mess, and it also affects our world with only two people.”
Chu Jianxin: “……”
He wasn’t their own child, right?
When other people’s sons came back from holiday, their parents served them with delicacies, but every time he came home, his parents looked disdainful.

Father: “Jianxin, why don’t you go back to the team first?”
The show of love between the old husband and wife could blind his eyes.
Chu Jianxin covered his head hard and said. “Okay, okay, okay, I’m convinced. You can travel, I’ll cook at home.”
Mother Chu was worried and said, “Are you sure you won’t burn down the kitchen?”
Chu Jianxin replied, “I’ll follow the guide, if I really can’t, I’ll order takeout, I won’t die of hunger!”
So his parents left him happily and went on a trip.
Chu Jianxin cooked at home with a dark face.
He really had no talent for cooking, so he followed a guide, and it said what oil to cook medium heat… how to determine it medium heat?
When he was thinking about what medium heat was, the oil in the pot was already smoking, so he quickly threw the shredded potatoes into it, and then there was a loud crackle, and the pot was blackened.
Chu Jianxin: “…”
Finally, a dark plate of shredded potatoes looked very scary.
Chu Jianxin had a self-blackening spirit. He took a picture and sent it to his Moments, saying, “Does anyone dare to eat the dark food cooked by me for the first time?”
Soon, there were a lot of comments.
Lin Yao: “Captain Chu, are you digging coal and fried it?”
Chu Jianxin replied: “This is shredded potatoes.”
Lin Yao sent a frightened emoticon.
Tan Shitian: “It’s really dark cuisine, except for the black color, you can’t even see the shape. Your master’s cooking skills are really handed down [smile].”
Cheng Wei: “Nonsense! As his master, I can at least tell that the shredded potatoes I fried are shred, but what he fried is black.”
Chu Jianxin replied with a row of ellipses.
He happily scrolled Moments until the familiar name appeared.
Sangsang: “Want to learn how to cook? Let me teach you.”
Chu Jianxin’s face was so hot that his mobile phone almost fell to the ground. He grabbed it and suddenly felt a little flustered.
Sangsang: “When you lived in my house in Suzhou, didn’t you praise my good cooking skills? Otherwise, I will come over and help you make it.”
Chu Jianxin hesitated for a while before replying: “No need.”
These two words reply without any expression, and it looked so stiff that even Lin Yao was aware that something was wrong.
Because, in normal times, Chu Jianxin liked to joke with Sang Jun very much. When Sang Jun left a message like this, he usually replied to such jokes as “Sangsang, please come and cook something delicious for me” or “Our family Sangsang is virtuous.”
But today there were only two simple words ‘No need’, and Sang Jun didn’t reply again.
Lin Yao thought of the five rows of kneeling in the arena when he and Chu Jianxin used smurf accounts, and couldn’t help chatting in private: “Captain Chu, did you quarrel with vice captain Sang?”
Chu Jianxin quickly typed and replied: “Don’t meddle in other people’s business, you’re a real man, why are you nosy like a meddling woman!”
Lin Yao sent a row of aggrieved emoticons: “I’m just concerned. In fact, vice captain Sang is very kind to you. Have you ever seen the vice captain of any team, doing all the chores and making the captain feel at ease for a year?”
Chu Jianxin was slightly stunned—— Lin Yao was right. Sang Jun was indeed a very responsible vice captain. He had more contributions for Dynasty team than he did.
It was also Sang Jun’s strong consciousness and ability that allowed Chu Jianxin to safely and boldly hand over the command to him, and he was quite idle as a captain.
However, this matter had nothing to do with the team. What Chu Jianxin was now struggling with was that he actually had a kind of feeling of heartbeat for his old friends for several years.
Even when he saw his message in Moments just now, he couldn’t help thinking of his smile.
And then he thought of their kissing scene.
His tongue stretched in, wrapped around his tongue and swept gently in his mouth, the kind of numbness that Chu Jianxin had never experienced before.
It was strange, very novel, very exciting…
And it was very memorable.
Wasn’t he really crazy?
Chu Jianxin took a deep breath and quickly replied to his mobile phone: “Don’t think about it. I didn’t quarrel with him. We have a good relationship! My friendship with Sang Jun for several years is pure.”
Lin Yao sent a row of Buddha worship emoticons: “Good, you two must not quarrel!”
But facts had proved that he couldn’t say too much, otherwise he would be face-slapped quickly.
Chu Jianxin said, “Sang Jun and I are pure good brothers”, but how could ‘pure good brothers’ kiss each other and couldn’t forget after kissing?
He thought that he was thinking about it only because the experience of the first kiss was so good, so he began to let himself go at home and read mystery novels crazily.
However, eating alone at home had become a problem.
Chu Jianxin was a kitchen destroyer. After frying shredded potatoes into black mashed potatoes three times in a row, he finally gave up the idea of cooking and ordered takeout.
But he ate takeout for several days in a row, and his stomach really couldn’t stand it. He thought about it and felt that he… Maybe he could go back to the team? The food in the team canteen was delicious and clean.
However, Sang Jun must be living in the team dormitory if he didn’t go home this holiday. If he went back, he would inevitably run into him again.
However, heart disease still needed heart medicine to be treated, and heart demons must be completely removed. He couldn’t escape.
Before the start of next season, he must deal with the relationship with the vice-captain, otherwise, his mood would likely affect the whole team.
Chu Jianxin made up his mind and bravely returned to the club.
It happened to be snowy that day. Chu Jianxin took a taxi and stopped in front of the club. He paid the driver. He was about to go forward after getting out of the car, but he saw a man and a woman walking out of the club.
The man was tall, wearing a long overcoat and looked handsome; the girl had ear-length black hair, a furry white hat, a sweater, a plaid skirt and white snow boots, plus a thick over-the-knee coat to keep warm, lively and lovely at the same time.
These two people walked together, which was exactly like the shooting scene of the idol drama.
The snowflakes floated down and fell on the girl’s shoulder.
Sang Jun gently reached out to help her pat the snowflake, and didn’t know what was said. The girl laughed excitedly, turned around and gave him a big hug.
Sang Jun gave her a gentle hug and looked at her with a very gentle smile.
Looking at this scene, Chu Jianxin’s eyes felt a little sore.
He didn’t know what happened, but he only felt that the scene was so dazzling that he felt like a needle in his heart.
Sang Jun used to be so gentle to him, but now he was so gentle to a girl. It turned out that Sang Jun wouldn’t stay by his side forever. Sang Jun might also find a girlfriend, leave him, and treat other girls well.
This realisation made Chu Jianxin completely stunned.
He stared blankly, until Sang Jun sent the girl away and disappeared at the end of the street, he realised that his eyes were actually blurred by some liquid.
Was it snow?
His eyes were hot, he definitely thought it wasn’t a tear. It must be because the snow was so heavy that he couldn’t see clearly when it touched his eyelashes.
Chu Jianxin stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously, resisting the soreness of his eyes, and turned around, but heard a familiar voice behind him, “Why are you back?”
It was Sang Jun. He sent the girl to the intersection and returned to the team, so he happened to run into Chu Jianxin here.
Chu Jianxin froze slightly, pretending to be relaxed and said, “Haha, I’m not a good cook. I’ll go back to the team to eat.”
Coming forward to him, Sang Jun looked at his red eyes and wondered, “Why are your eyes so red?”
Chu Jianxin responded randomly, “I got out of the car without an umbrella, and my face was covered with snow.”
Sang Jun: “…”
Can snow make your eyes red?
As he was thinking, he heard Chu Jianxin ask, “Is that your girlfriend just now?”
Sang Jun: “Did you see it?”
Chu Jianxin gave a hollow laugh and patted Sang Jun’s shoulder. “You have such a beautiful girlfriend and didn’t tell your good brother. The brotherhood is really not enough!”
His acting skill of pretending to be calm was terrible, and his fingers patted on his shoulder were shaking.
“Do you mind?” Sang Jun frowned slightly.
Chu Jianxin was stunned, then smiled. “Why should I mind! You have a girlfriend, and good brothers should be happy for you. In other words, you are the first one in our Dynasty team to get rid of the ranks of single dogs. Should you buy everyone a drink?”
Sang Jun ignored him, stared into his eyes and continued to ask, “Do you mind?”
“Of course I don’t mind…” Chu Jianxin hurriedly looked away.
“Really don’t mind?” Sang Jun asked again.
Three consecutive direct questions, like serial bombing, made Chu Jianxin completely unable to resist, so he had to stay away.
Sang Jun: “You’re lying.”
Chu Jianxin: “I’m not.”
Sang Jun: “You didn’t dare to look at me.”
Chu Jianxin: “……”
He was suddenly embarrassed, because he actually minded, very much.
Seeing the scene where Sang Jun was with another girl, he was angrier than he saw his childhood sweetheart first love girlfriend He Min at the airport that day.
Seeing that He Min had found a new boyfriend, he just felt that times had changed, everyone had their own new life, and his mood was a bit complicated. However, when he saw that Sang Jun had a girlfriend, he felt that it seemed to be a betrayal—— Sang Jun betrayed him, stayed with others, and left him behind! They were inseparable for so many years, but Sang Jun found a girlfriend first?
He was so angry that he was abandoned and his chest hurt like being pricked by needles. He felt it hard to breathe, and his voice even trembled slightly.
Looking at him like this, Sang Jun sighed softly. “Don’t lie, you actually mind, right?”
Chu Jianxin didn’t speak, but his eyes were instantly red, like a wounded beast.
Sang Jun took off his gloves, stretched out his hand and held his frozen fingers with a warm palm.
Chu Jianxin suddenly trembled for a moment and tried to withdraw his hand, but he was gently clenched by Sang Jun.
Chu Jianxin: “…” The warmth made him almost cry.
Sang Jun kept warming his hands and explained in a low voice. “The girl just now was my sister. When my parents divorced, I was with my mother, and she was with my father. She was a few years younger than me and was admitted to Beijing University. Under curiosity, she came and saw the team, nothing else.”
Chu Jianxin’s heart was like a boulder falling to the ground, and he was finally relieved, and the stiff expression on his face was obviously alleviated. “Oh, it’s your sister! It made me think you secretly found a girlfriend…”
Sang Jun suddenly leaned into his ear and asked softly, “Did you eat vinegar?”
Chu Jianxin: “Ah?”
Sang Jun chuckled and continued to say in his ear, “Seeing that I’m looking for a girlfriend, your reaction is so strong, did you eat vinegar?”
Chu Jianxin quickly denied. “…What a mess, how can I eat-eat your vinegar!”
“What do you think of me kissing you?” Sang Jun smiled.
Chu Jianxin: “…”
Sang Jun said, “Do you think I am so big-hearted that I am willing to kiss a man casually?”
Chu Jianxin: “…”
Sang Jun continued, “Why don’t I mind kissing you, do you understand?”
Chu Jianxin was completely bewildered by his words and subconsciously said, “I don’t understand.”
Meeting his confused eyes, Sang Jun smiled slightly, and said in a soft voice that almost melted the snow. “That’s because I like you, fool.”
Chu Jianxin: “……”
