FCY Chapter 45

Lacking a sense of security…

“Finally, it’s over!” Wu Xinming stood up and stretched. His hands were surrounded by fried chicken bones; his mouth hadn’t stopped for the entire two-plus hours of reviewing the match.

“Bro, I’m heading out first. If I don’t breathe some fresh air, your dear brother is going to die. Later, tell me the amount of training Zhu Zi wants me to complete.” Wu Xinming took advantage of Zhu Zi’s trip to the restroom to sneak out. He was a repeat offender in this regard, and everyone was used to turning a blind eye, ignoring him.

“Hurry up and go.” Wu Xinshen didn’t even glance at him; he was already used to it. After each review, Zhu Zi would arrange training tasks for everyone based on their performance in the match. If they finished, they were free for the day. If they didn’t finish before midnight, they would continue the task during the next day’s rest time. Generally, the fewer mistakes, the less training required.

“He snuck off again. Sigh, I don’t know what’s wrong with him, he never likes reviewing, even though he’s quite enthusiastic when pointing out mistakes.” Zhu Zi returned and saw Wu Xinming’s seat was empty. Without thinking, he knew Wu Xinming had slipped away. Zhu Zi handed each person a piece of paper. “Your tasks after the review are all on this paper. Check them off yourself as you complete each one. Don’t cheat, there’ll be a check at 10 PM. Xinnming’s, Xin Shen, you give it to him.”

“Okay.”

“Alright, that’s it for now, everyone disperse. Train if you want to train, rest if you want to rest, I won’t force it, but I hope you don’t drag your tasks to tomorrow.”

After Zhu Zi finished speaking, he was the first to walk out of the meeting room, followed closely by Cen Xi and Luo Yan.

Luo Yan hadn’t walked more than a few steps out of the meeting room before Cen Xi grabbed his hand, pulling him toward a corner.

“Brother, what’s wrong?” Luo Yan’s back was against the wall, and Cen Xi’s hands were around Luo Yan’s waist, trapping him in the corner.

“I have…” a question I want to ask you. Why didn’t you fight with me like Wu Xinshen and the others, or directly scold me? Why haven’t I felt your dissatisfaction since that day? Your emotions should be the worst, the person you love most left you silently for so long, the resentment in your heart should be the greatest, resentment towards your teammates, resentment towards your lover, but why do I feel your resentment is even less than Wu Xinming’s? Why is that?

Ever since reuniting with Luo Yan, his relationship with him seemed to be progressing too smoothly, so smoothly that it felt unreal. No wonder, he sometimes felt a little strange, so that’s it, he only felt Luo Yan’s love, but not Luo Yan’s resentment. He probably doesn’t trust himself, right? Did he not give him enough security? Or does he also feel it’s unreal…

No matter which reason Luo Yan said, Cen Xi would feel a sense of frustration, and he was also afraid of Luo Yan’s answer, so he didn’t dare to ask the words on his lips.

“Brother?” Luo Yan felt Cen Xi’s hands trembling.

“Why?” Cen Xi’s words were so soft they were almost inaudible, as if asking himself, or asking Luo Yan.

“What? Brother, what are you saying?” Luo Yan leaned his ear close to Cen Xi’s mouth, “Say it again.”

Cen Xi hugged Luo Yan tightly. “Yan Bao, you can vent any emotions you have to me, I will be good to you.”

These words made Luo Yan feel inexplicably warm. Luo Yan was serious during the review, so he didn’t notice the changes in Cen Xi’s emotions. He didn’t know what Cen Xi was thinking, but that didn’t stop Luo Yan from feeling warm in his heart after hearing these words.

“Brother, really? You won’t say anything even if I hit you?” Luo Yan looked at Cen Xi with curved eyes. Indeed, Luo Yan was a little afraid in this relationship. If it were before, Luo Yan would scold when he needed to scold, hit when he needed to hit. He knew his brother would indulge him, but now, he wasn’t sure. He didn’t dare to vent casually. He inexplicably lowered his position. He was afraid of making Cen Xi angry, afraid that Cen Xi would leave again. He couldn’t bear this, so he had been trying to face Cen Xi with his best side, bottling up his resentment, but bottling it up for too long would cause problems.

It can be said that there doesn’t seem to be any major problems on the surface of this relationship now, but because both of them lack a sense of security, over time, the relationship will more or less have problems.

“Really, I hope you can open your heart to me.” Maybe you still have concerns about the current me, but I believe that sooner or later, we will treat each other honestly, and I will prove my feelings for you with actions.

In a relationship, someone always has to take the first step. Luo Yan started it, now it’s Cen Xi.
