‘I like you’?? What did he hear? Is it an auditory hallucination?
Chu Jianxin looked at Sang Jun in front of him blankly, his brain was completely frozen as if it crashed.
Seeing his shocked appearance, Sang Jun smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and gently brushed the falling snow from his hair, and asked, “The snow is heavy, do you want to continue to stand here?”
Chu Jianxin finally came back to his senses, his cheeks were slightly hot. “Cough, go back to the dormitory first.”
Sang Jun held his hand and said, “Go back to what dormitory? You must have missed lunch. I’ll take you to eat hotpot.”
Chu Jianxin: “…”
Before he could refuse, Sang Jun took his hand and turned and walked towards the hotpot restaurant across the street.
Chu Jianxin’s hands were red from the cold and almost lost consciousness, but Sang Jun’s hands were exceptionally warm when he took off his gloves.
The frozen fingers were gently held in the palm of the other party’s warm hands, and the warmth was conveyed to the bottom of his heart through the nerves and veins under the skin.
The temperature in Beijing dropped sharply after it snowed today. Chu Jianxin didn’t wear thick clothes when he went out. In addition, he saw Sang Jun with the girl just now. He hid and stood in the snow for too long. He was shivering with the cold, but now, being led by Sang Jun, he suddenly felt that his whole body began to heat up slowly, as if he had lighted a small heater in his heart, and even the cells of his whole body began to produce heat. His cheeks were especially so hot that the snow that fell on his face melted almost instantly.
After being led for a few steps, Chu Jianxin’s heartbeat was like a drum, and couldn’t help but say, “You let go first, two men, what appearance it will be like to take my arms in familiar ways…”
In a good mood, Sang Jun looked back at him and smiled. “I’ve already kissed you, do you mind holding hands?”
Chu Jianxin: “……”
F*ck, can you stop talking about it?
Chu Jianxin blushed and wanted to kick Sang Jun into the snow and bury him.
The hotpot restaurant wasn’t far from the club, and it was only a block away. As Sang Jun was wearing a long overcoat, he held Chu Jianxin’s hand and tucked it into the pocket of his coat. Both of them walked forward side by side without attracting much attention from passers-by.
However, Chu Jianxin’s heartbeat was getting faster and fater, almost uncontrollable.
He remembered that many years ago, he established a relationship with Xiao Min. When he held each other’s hand for the first time, his heart beat faster. At that time, he was still a young boy in love. He was a little excited and shy when holding the girl’s hand. After returning home, he foolishly wrote a ‘chunibyo’ diary, to record his joy.
Thinking about it, he hadn’t experienced such a heartbeat in many years.
But today, he was holding hands with a man.
Different from girls’ soft fingers, Sang Jun’s hands were the hands of typical esports players. His fingers were slender and powerful, his nails were trimmed very clean, and his fingertips were also covered with a thin callus, which was left by hitting the keyboard all year round.
The hands were dry and warm.
Being held by such a hand seemed to have a special sense of security.
Chu Jianxin’s heartbeat stalled and his imagination ran wild all the way until Sang Jun reminded him, “Here we are.”
It was only then that he took a deep breath and calmed his mind and walked into the hotpot restaurant with Sang Jun. The heating was on in the shop, and it was not as cold as outside, and Sang Jun finally let go of his hand.
The beauty receptionist at the door smiled and asked, “Excuse me, how many people?”
“Two people,” Sang Jun replied, “Do you have a small private room?”

“Yes, this way,” said the beautiful woman.

He ordered the spicy pot base, and in the menu he chose beef, tripe, edible mushrooms, dried tofu, kelp, wide noodles, fried tofu… All of them were Chu Jianxin’s favorite dishes to eat hotpot at ordinary times. After ordering, Sang Jun took a look at Chu Jianxin, smiled and said, “Please serve the food quickly, he is starving.”
The waiter immediately said, “Yes, sir, please wait a moment.”
The spicy pot base was quickly brought up, and all kinds of vegetarian dishes were brought in by the waiter with a cart. Both of them began to cook the dishes, and Sang Jun helped him put the cooked beef into a bowl with great consideration.
Chu Jianxin was really hungry, and it was too cold just now, so it was a pleasure to eat hot spicy hotpot at this time.
He just buried himself in eating, but he didn’t chat with Sang Jun again, and Sang Jun didn’t take the initiative to open his mouth and silently helped him cook.
After a meal, they went back to the team together and happened to meet Tan Shitian and Cheng Wei in the corridor.
Captain Tan was surprised, “Xiao Chu? Didn’t you go home?”
Chu Jianxin was a little embarrassed, scratching his head and said, “Cough, my parents have gone abroad, and I don’t know how to cook, so I returned to the team to eat.”
Cheng Wei laughed unceremoniously. “The dark cuisine you cooked is worse than mine. You really inherit this master’s teaching.”
Chu Jianxin: “…”
Tan Shitian looked at Sang Jun with a meaningful gaze, “It’s good to come back. Sang Jun won’t go home this holiday, so you two happen to be partners.” He pulled Cheng Wei to the training room and left a sentence before leaving: “This holiday is quite a long one, make good use of it.”
Chu Jianxin replied hurriedly, “En, I’ll make good use of it.”
Sang Jun smiled behind him.
You’re so pure. Do you think captain Tan asked you to make good use of your holiday time?
He’s asking me to seize the opportunity to catch you.
After returning to the dormitory, Chu Jianxin went to the bedroom to clean up.
Actually, there was nothing to clean up. He just went home a few days ago, because his home was in a local area, so he didn’t bring too much luggage at that time. Today, when he returned to the team, he just carried back a few clothes and hung them in the closet.
After tidying up, he sat by the bed and began to think about it carefully.
It should not be auditory hallucinations. Sang Jun did confess to him, saying ‘I like you’.
However, he was too shocked and didn’t respond to Sang Jun, so Sang Jun took him to have a hotpot????
So, what’s going on?
Chu Jianxin was a little stupid, and he couldn’t understand Sang Jun’s train of thought at all.
As he was wondering, he suddenly heard a knock on the door. Looking up, he saw Sang Jun standing at the door with a smile and asked, “May I come in?”
Chu Jianxin braced himself. “Cough, come in.”
Coming in, Sang Jun went to the bed and sat down beside him. He looked back at him and said, “Are you full?”
“En, I’m full.” Chu Jianxin gave a hollow laugh.
“Your brain should also be warmed up?” Sang Jun asked.
Chu Jianxin: “…”
Just now he really stood in the snow and was a little confused by the cold. He didn’t keep up with Sang Jun’s rhythm.
Sang Jun smiled and said, “So, what do you think of my confession?”
Chu Jianxin immediately looked away in a panic and said, “I, I don’t know, I just treat you as…”
Sang Jun interrupted him. “Okay, just treat you as a best friend and a good brother. I’m tired of hearing this sentence after you’ve been saying it for several years. Will a good brother eat vinegar and be angry because I am looking for a girlfriend?”
Chu Jianxin’s face turned red, “I-I don’t eat vinegar.”
“But, your performance does seem to be eating vinegar.” Sang Jun replied.
Chu Jianxin fell silent, because he was actually a little guilty and couldn’t find a suitable argument to argue with Sang Jun.
Until Sang Jun’s face was magnified in front of him again, and then his lips suddenly warmed up.
Chu Jianxin’s eyes widened instantly.
F*ck, why did he kiss again?
The kiss was instant. It was just a gentle touch, but Chu Jianxin’s face burned up. He stared at Sang Jun and didn’t know what to say.
Sang Jun was in a good mood, smiled and asked, “Do you hate it? If it was someone else, you must have punched that person, but every time I kiss you, you look shocked with an expectant expression, and blush a little.”
Chu Jianxin: “…”
Re-really?
He didn’t realize this, but, at the moment when Sang Jun leaned over, his heart beat faster and his cheeks felt hot.
“I wait for you to understand, in fact, I’ve waited for a long time.” Sang Jun sighed softly and whispered, “I like you, not a day or two. Four years ago, shortly after we met, my heart moved to you, but at that time, I knew that you liked girls, and I never dared to confess. I could only stay with you as a friend and grow up with you silently.”
“For the reason that I have liked you for so many years, how about giving me a chance to try dating for a while as lovers?”
Looking back, Chu Jianxin met his gentle gaze.
He suddenly couldn’t say a word of refusal.
He had been liking him for four years? He couldn’t see it at all. He must endure it very hard.
Over the past few years, Sang Jun really cared about him. Chu Jianxin thought it was out of friendship. Unexpectedly, Sang Jun had already been secretly like him.
Chu Jianxin’s heart was a little moved, and a little…unspeakable joy.
Yes, it’s joy.
Knowing that Sang Jun has always liked him, Chu Jianxin’s head was still a little messy, but this kind of joy couldn’t be suppressed at all. It instantly filled his heart like a gushing spring, and spread a warm breath across his chest.
Chu Jianxin’s lips couldn’t help but curve a smile and scratch his head. “Hehe, your mind is deep enough. I don’t see it at all.”
Seeing that he didn’t refuse, and even smiled foolishly. Sang Jun couldn’t help but laugh. He stretched out his hand and gently hugged Chu Jianxin into his arms, and said, “So you agreed?”
Chu Jianxin said, “Cough, let’s try dating. It seems that I don’t suffer losses? Anyway, I don’t hate you, and…”
“And what?” Sang Jun asked.
And it feels good to kiss you. I want to kiss you a few more times.
Chu Jianxin was naturally embarrassed to say this sentence, so he had to be perfunctory. “And, I don’t want to fall out with you because of our feelings for so many years.”
Sang Jun smiled slightly, tightened his arms and said, “Well, from now on, I won’t be your friend—— I will be your boyfriend.”
Hearing the word ‘boyfriend’, Chu Jianxin blushed and said, “I’m also your boyfriend.”
“Of course.” Sang Jun nodded immediately.
Chu Jianxin was somewhat entangled, “I heard that between men, they seem to be divided into what is 1 and 0, ‘gong’ and ‘shou’?
“Where did you hear about it?” Sang Jun asked.
Chu Jianxin chuckled, “At home these few days, my mind is a bit messy, so I went to Baidu…”
“So do you want to be ‘gong’ or ‘shou’?” Sang Jun asked.
Chu Jianxin didn’t hesitate. “Of course ‘gong’! My character is super ‘gong’, don’t you think?”
“En, as long as you like it.” Sang Jun smiled slightly.
Chu Jianxin: “…???”
So easy to talk about?
Why was there a chilling feeling on his back?
It seemed that in last season’s game, every time Sang Jun was so easy to talk to, his opponent would be in a sorry state??
Chu Jianxin coughed and felt a little embarrassed to put this topic on the surface. He had to shut up and enjoy the moment of hugging him.
Sang Jun’s embrace was too warm, making Chu Jianxin… somewhat sleepy.
In the past few days, he read detective novels at home every day and saw that in the middle of the night, he was seriously lacking in sleep. It seemed that he had only slept for two or three hours last night. Now he returned to the familiar team dormitory with this person who made him feel at ease by his side, plus the burden in his heart was finally put down completely, Chu Jianxin actually fell asleep like this.
Sang Jun hugged him for a while and found that he breathed evenly and went straight to sleep…
His heart was big enough!
In the whole world, I’m afraid you’re the first one to fall asleep in the other party’s arms just after confessing and starting a relationship?
He was very helpless, but looking at him sleeping with his eyes closed, his gaze couldn’t help but soften.
Smiling, Sang Jun leaned over and printed a gentle kiss on his forehead, then pulled back the quilt and held him on the bed.
The way of boiling frogs in warm water really worked for Chu Jianxin. Fortunately, he used his witty tactics in this relationship and didn’t make their relationship stiff.
It was nice to take a nap with your lover.
Next, he should care for him as a boyfriend, pamper him, and let him fall completely.
Sang Jun smiled and tightened his arms around Chu Jianxin, saying in his heart—— Chu Jianxin, you can’t escape this time.
They are so sweet ah qwq
