Chapter 80 Chapter 80 (2/2)
A group of straight men couldn’t really play that long and there was also no alcohol to drink here.
After having some fun with Song Qinglan and Ji Yushi, everyone was no longer interested in embarrassing the other teammates and most of the subsequent punishments were related to physical strength.
Everyone played for more than two hours before they finally lost interest.
“When we are allowed out, let’s go for a drink.” Li Chun suggested, “Before I left, my friend was preparing to renovate their nightclub. Since a month has passed, it should already be open again.”
“That one again?” Tang Le was beginning to feel tired. He let out a yawn and asked, “Aren’t you afraid of meeting that girl again?”
That girl. He was referring to the girl Li Chun mentioned time and time again because he was not able to get her phone number before they set off.
But in the bubble world, they had already interacted and found that they weren’t suitable for each other. Li Chun quickly denied it, “No, no. We aren’t fated. Let’s go have fun at another place!”
As they discussed where to go, Duan Wen said, “Just choose somewhere normal. Places that are noisy and smoky, do you think Advisor Ji would go?”
Ji Yushi expressed, “I can. You can just call me when the time comes.”
Tang Le: “Really? I was afraid that you would find it very boring.”
Nightclubs were noisy and filled with all sorts of people. Someone as elegant and refined as Ji Yushi didn’t look like someone who would go to nightclubs to party.
Of the people present, only Song Qinglan knew that when they were in the roadside kiosk in PU-31, Ji Yushi had once said that his gaze looked like the gaze from a pervert in a gay bar. They weren’t familiar with each other at the time, so Song Qinglan didn’t take this matter to heart but now he recalled it again.
Song Qinglan looked at Ji Yushi and said to the others, “We can talk about it then. I will decide on the place.”
Everyone, “Cap Song!!!”
Li Chun was so excited, he almost jumped up, “Did I hear wrong?! Cap Song is also going to a nightclub!! You never went no matter how much I asked you before!!”
Tang Le: “Hehehe, I know the reason why!”
Li Chun, “I also know!! Hahahaha!!”
Ji Yushi, “………”
If it continued like this, he should just stop speaking for the rest of his life.
Song Qinglan grabbed the cushion nearby and threw it at them, “Scram! Haven’t you had enough?!”
It was late now, and everyone still had their psychological evaluation tomorrow. The others returned to their rooms in a good mood.
The game scene was a mess. The cleaning robot and robotic arm slowly moved over to clean it up.
Song Qinglan stood up first. He looked at Ji Yushi who was still sitting on the ground, “What are you looking for?”
Ji Yushi didn’t look up, “Dice.”
Song Qinglan asked, “Still want to play?”
The dice Li Chun held was gone. It was unknown if Li Chun had accidentally pocketed it or if it was swept away by the cleaning robot.
Ji Yushi couldn’t see it anywhere, but he didn’t say anything. He just said lightly, “No.”
Song Qinglan stretched his hand out, “Get up.”
Ji Yushi raised his head. Just like what they did before, he very naturally held Song Qinglan’s hand and stood up.
Song Qinglan then let go of him.
The cleaning robot seemed to have not expected Ji Yushi to stand up and just happened to be cleaning the area behind him. At this moment, it gently touched Ji Yushi’s heel.
Ji Yushi subconsciously took a step forward, almost running into Song Qinglan in the process. He was only able to stop with Song Qinglan supporting his shoulders.
With the distance suddenly narrowed and the two standing so close together, the two were left stunned for a while.
Since that conversation, their relationship had reached a stage where it was more than friends and even their teammates had acquiesced that they were a pair. They however were still not official lovers.
As for the twenty-four hours of wait, Ji Yushi still hadn’t given his answer and Song Qinglan was still waiting.
The natural actions between them in the past had now become a little ambiguous in this period of time that felt both extremely long and extremely short.
Secretive, heart racing.
Only they were clear.
Song Qinglan moved aside a little, but he then heard Ji Yushi speak, “Cap Song, I am a man.”
Suddenly mentioning this, Song Qinglan was confused, “Huh?”
He saw Ji Yushi look straight at him and speak calmly word for word, “I am twenty-five years old and physically fit. Although I don’t grow much hair, I would still occasionally grow a stubble. I like guns, fighting, am proficient at Jiu-Jitsu and can climb rock walls barehanded. My body has masculine features and I would similarly have a morning wood reaction in the morning.”
Song Qinglan understood what he meant. He raised his eyebrow slightly, “Are you suddenly doing a self-introduction or are you challenging me?”
Ji Yushi shook his head, “I just wanted to remind you that I am different from what you imagine.”
Song Qinglan asked in return, “How do you know what my imagination is like?”
Ji Yushi didn’t speak.
Song Qinglan’s tone carried some anger, but he also found it a little funny, “Are you thinking that what I said wasn’t direct enough? Or you thought that I haven’t imagined doing anything to you?”
Ji Yushi’s ears were hot, “…..No.”
Song Qinglan said, “If you want to know, I can tell you.”
It could be seen that Ji Yushi had rested well this time.
The shadows under his eyes were mostly gone and the fragile feeling he gave off during the missions had also disappeared without a trace.
Someone who is too smart and has a tendency to silently endure would typically have poor sleep quality. Song Qinglan was originally worried that he would have difficulty falling asleep with all the things he had to consider but he was relieved when he saw this. He felt that he shouldn’t say to much lest it becomes counterproductive.
There were only a few short hours left so he should bear with it. As such, he said to Ji Yushi, “If I was too sudden, then I’m…..really sorry. But you don’t need to think over it too much. Have a good rest tonight and give me your answer tomorrow.”
Ji Yushi: “Okay.”
Song Qinglan said, “Good night.”
Ji Yushi responded, “Good night.”
Before returning to their rooms, Ji Yushi handed over something, “Your communicator.”
Song Qinglan stood in place and placed the communicator back on his wrist.
When they were playing the game just now, he had left it on the ground and had almost forgotten about it. Fortunately, it wasn’t taken away by the cleaning robot.
The screen automatically lit up after sensing his actions and it displayed the time and date.
The time on the communicator was incorrect.
It had been changed to tomorrow morning which was nearly seven hours from now —- It was the twenty-fourth hour since his confession to Ji Yushi.
Song Qinglan’s movements stopped. He suddenly understood something.
Ji Yushi was given a day to think it over.
And that time had been intentionally pushed ahead.
*
Closing the door, Ji Yushi’s heart was racing.
His private training room was brightly lit and the mirror in the room reflected his current appearance. It was an appearance he had never seen before.
All that had to be said had been said, and all that had to be reminded had been reminded.
Ji Yushi wanted to drink some water to calm himself down but just as he unscrewed the cap, there was a knock on his door.
As soon as Ji Yushi opened the door, Song Qinglan unceremoniously pushed in.
His arrival was fierce. Male hormones as well as a strong oppressiveness emanated from his body as he approached step by step. He confined Ji Yushi between the wall and himself.
Ji Yushi had no way of escaping. Unable to see his expression clearly, he was anxious, “Wha—-”
Song Qinglan had already bowed his head and kissed him.
KK has something to say:
Can I just say how much I loved how time was incorporated in their confession/answer? SO SATISFYING
