Chapter 58 Chapter 58 (2/2)

While Song Qinglan was thinking his, he had lost his usual vigilance and very soon his world spun around. Ji Yushi had exerted some force and managed to flip the situation around. With him straddling on Song Qinglan’s back, he used his hands and knees to press him down.

The other teammates excitedly started the countdown, “Five! Four! Three!—-”

Song Qinglan internally cursed. These bastards. Why didn’t they countdown earlier when he was winning?

Having landed a hit on Song Qinglan, Ji Yushi had vented his anger and no longer wanted to fight. Even if he continued, he would lose anyway.

And so, he twisted Song Qinglan’s arm back, “Cap Song, do you admit defeat?”

Song Qinglan slackened completely and slumped on the floor. He let out a long sigh, “……..Mhn.”

The sound wasn’t very willing. It meant that as long as Ji Yushi was done venting, he was willing to surrender voluntarily.

Ji Yushi understood.

“Cap Song, what do you mean by mhn?!” Li Chun gloated mischievously and insisted that he made it clear, “Say it quickly. Did you lose?”

Song Qinglan gave up his dignity, “I lost.”

Although Ji Yushi didn’t win because of his abilities, he wasn’t unhappy. After standing up, he even gently kicked Song Qinglan, “Cap Song, next time don’t underestimate your opponent. Thank you for going easy on me this time.”

The crowd laughed mercilessly, “Hahahahaha!”

Ji Yushi got off the ring. The other teammates all rushed over and chattered humorously. Several even grabbed Song Qinglan by his limbs and tried to throw their captain off the ring like a sandbag.

Song Qinglan knew that this was only for fun. No one, including Ji Yushi, would take the victory or defeat here seriously.

The fight not only did not allow him to vent, but it also seemed to have made his mood worse.

Song Qinglan laid flat on the ground amidst the mocking and didn’t want to move a single finger. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Ji Yushi change into a clean set of clothes and walk towards the water station.

Kind of handsome. He thought.

There was pretty much everything in the illusion. As long as they thought about it, anything could appear.

Time passed by normally in the simulated world.

In the evening, Tang Qi proceeded to make a whole roasted lamb while Tang Le sorted the drinks out. After a round of eating and drinking, Li Chun even took them to disco.

The music was deafening. The courtyard filled with cultural air was at this moment filled with colourful and vulgar lights.

The group of people rocked their heads back and forth. If anyone else saw this scene, they would have thought that this was a gathering of madmen.

“I wonder what’s going on with Big Beard.” Li Chun spun around, “…..Damn that Tianqiong! Anfalahagenhe!”

Everyone, “Anfalahagenhe!”

Song Qinglan stood away from these group of madmen. He turned and clinked glasses with Duan Wen who sat next to him and drank. Since time wouldn’t change in this case of time and space hijacking, Song Qinglan as the captain allowed his teammates to indulge themselves.

Not long afterwards, he noticed that a certain someone was missing, “Where’s Advisor Ji?”

Duan Wen was lying on the bench. Probably because he was remembering the wife and daughter in the bubble world, he had already drunk until his mind was no longer clear.

After thinking for a while, Duan Wen finally spoke, “Oh, I think he said he was going for a walk?”

“Walk?”

Song Qinglan didn’t understand. The outside of this courtyard was all dark. What walk?

Song Qinglan raised his head and gulped down the rest of his alcohol. He still felt that the number of people here didn’t add up, “And where did Old Zhou go?”

Duan Wen looked like he had aged, “Went with Advisor Ji.”

With Duan Wen saying that, Song Qinglan could basically guess where they had gone. The transfer stations set by Tianqiong was different for everyone so they were either at Zhou Mingxuan’s or Ji Yushi’s transfer station.

What were they doing together?

Could Zhou Mingxuan talk to Ji Yushi? With Old Zhou’s mouth, surely he wouldn’t accidentally offend Ji Yushi?

Song Qinglan placed down his bottle. Duan Wen glanced over, “You’re going? I’ll help you watch over them.”

These young ones can go quite wild. Duan Wen thought Song Qinglan was probably worried about leaving them unattended.

Song Qinglan, “Not going.”

Since the two had left together, they must have made a prior appointment. The one who had persuaded Zhou Mingxuan to leave the bubble world with them was Ji Yushi. Perhaps Zhou Mingxuan wanted to thank Ji Yushi. That guy may act tough, but his heart was soft. He was actually a pretty good person.

Moreover, in the bubble world, Zhou Mingxuan had to some certain extent faced the same decision as Ji Yushi. This was a situation where people can only get comfort from those with similar experiences.

What’s more, Zhou Mingxuan was a straight man. Ji Yushi also has his boyfriends.

But.

Song Qinglan’s expression turned cold.

As for Ji Yushi’s attitude towards relationships, it probably didn’t matter.

Song Qinglan immediately stopped his thoughts from straying too far. When did he start using such thoughts to assess another person?

But that single tear Ji Yushi had shed when he was bewitched by the phone call in the bubble world once again surfaced to his mind —- When facing others, for example people who have shared similar experiences or lovers, would Ji Yushi entrust them with his trust and tell them the secrets and concerns buried deep in his heart? Would he also reveal his helpless and fragile side to them?

Song Qinglan couldn’t imagine what it would be like if those tears were wiped away by another person.

To him, Ji Yushi was different.

It was like there was something ready to burst out from his heart.

The belated answer made Song Qinglan very irritated. He combed through his hair with his fingers and his eyebrows twisted together in annoyance.

Ignoring those noisy teammates, Song Qinglan strode into the house.

He passed by the training room and walked deep down the corridor. He wanted to go back to the room he used to stay in as a child to rest and along the way calm himself down a little.

But the moment he opened the heavy door, he was left stunned in place.

Floor-to-ceiling window. Soft curtains.

Wooden bed. White and fluffy bedding.

There were some paper books scattered across the floor and there was a warm night light on the bedside table.

He had clearly only seen it once, but that warm, quiet and peaceful scene had remained deep in Song Qinglan’s subconscious.

He had never imagined that the place that would allow him to calm down and relax, was actually Ji Yushi’s bedroom.
