The Whole World Thinks I’m a Woman Disguised as a Man - Chapter 41-2

Just when Su Yiyu’s fingertips were about to touch Xue Lan’s neck, Xue Lan suddenly felt his collar tighten, and was caught by someone and lifted up ——

“?!”

Xue Lan hurriedly struggled to free himself from the clutches behind him, but Duan Wenzheng’s unsalty voice came from behind ——

“What are you messing with? You think you are already in first place in the next tournament? Why don’t you go to training?”

“…”

“I-I’m sorry!! I’m going to train now!!”

Xue Lan froze for a second because of Duan Wenzheng’s voice behind him, but Su Yiyu bowed and apologized without loyalty, and then ran away.

Xue Lan looked at Su Yiyu who ran without hesitation, and then at the lounge where only Duan Wenzheng and himself were left. He wanted to sneak away too and said, “I’m going to practice too…”

Duan Wenzheng simply pressed him on the rest chair, leaned over, and asked with a bad expression on his face, “Where is it? I’ll touch it too?”

“…” Xue Lan didn’t dare to vent his anger. Because of his sudden approach, he retreated stiffly to the back of the chair.

Duan Wenzheng stretched out his hand seriously as if intending to touch the Adam’s apple he had mentioned.

Xue Lan blushed from holding back, but Duan Wenzheng’s fingertips inadvertently grazed the skin of his neckline during the random struggle and the zipper also slipped down…

Duan Wenzheng paused, and before Xue Lan could come back to his senses, he quickly pulled his zipper up again.

“…”

Duan Wenzheng stood up again. He cleared his throat. “Have you realized what you did wrong? How can you let people touch a place like this so casually?”

Even though Xue Lan felt a little wronged when the zipper was pulled to the top, he nodded his head quickly.

Duan Wenzheng calmed down a little, rubbed his head randomly, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, “Good boy.”

Xue Lan didn’t know why Duan Wenzheng was angry again, but his anger came and went quickly. Xue Lan looked at Duan Wenzheng who sat down again, wondering if there was something unpleasant about the conversation he just had with Wen Yan.

Xue Lan looked at Duan Wenzheng as if he was sulking alone, and asked cautiously, “Wind just now…”

Duan Wenzheng glanced over.

Xue Lan shut his mouth in a split second, and sure enough… Husband and wife quarrels and disharmony in life would make anyone irritable, not just them.

He looked at Duan Wenzheng’s tense expression. Afraid that Duan Wenzheng might have spoken impulsively and upset Wen Yan, Xue Lan asked cautiously, “Did you say anything to Wind?”

Duan Wenzheng glanced at him, but still said, “Do you really think it’s a coincidence that we got Deng Ruiqiu and the others?”

Xue Lan was taken aback.

He didn’t expect that the matter would suddenly involve the game just now. The blush on his face faded and he hurriedly asked, “You mean… it’s Manager Ke?”

Even though Xue Lan usually doesn’t want to worry too much about trivial matters, he wasn’t someone who couldn’t turn his head around. Therefore, he soon was able to figure out what was wrong after a little pointer from Duan Wenzheng.

But why did Manager Ke let them fight Deng Ruiqiu? It didn’t look like it was doing him any good either.

Duan Wenzheng seemed to see Xue Lan’s doubts. He explained, “Deng Ruiqiu wants to fight us again. Probably because they think they have found a way to break through our defense.”

Xue Lan nodded thoughtfully when he heard the words, and then made up his mind that he would slam into the east and west, and throw all his firepower on Duan Wenzheng after leading the king into the urn.

“But I don’t think he can sway Manager Ke’s decision on this kind of sign change,” Duan Wenzheng continued. “In a sense, sign change is equivalent to cheating.”

Xue Lan pondered for a while, then raised his head. “Manager Huo of Team Thunder?”

Duan Wenzheng was pleasantly surprised that he got it so quickly and rubbed his head like a reward.

“Wen Yan has dealt with this matter, so you don’t have to worry about it, and just concentrate on playing the game.”

Xue Lan raised his head in surprise. He didn’t expect Duan Wenzheng to suddenly become serious. Just now, Baby Wind praised him alone, but did this mean their CP had already started to work together? Isn’t the day when the two of them will be together not far away?

Seeing the child’s gaze fixed on him, Duan Wenzheng raised his eyebrows and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing.” Xue Lan blinked. “It’s just… why did you suddenly become serious?”

“Maybe it’s because…” Duan Wenzheng’s eyes fell on him as if he was in the middle of recalling some episodes from afar. “Because I found that there will be times when I can’t do what I can.”

“It’s just a youth training camp right now. Here, we meet with people who want to go professional, not real professional players.” Xue Lan’s half-understanding gaze made Duan Wenzheng’s eyes grow soft. He leaned back in the chair, patiently explaining, “But it’s different after entering the club.”

Xue Lan nodded subconsciously. He seemed to understand Duan Wenzheng’s concerns and the feeling of being beyond one’s power.

Like if he had found out earlier that Deng Ruiqiu’s goal was directed at Duan Wenzheng, would he have been able to get to his position today?

But the most helpless thing in this world is the “if.”

“I want to be there when that person needs me, so this time I want to play games seriously.”

Duan Wenzheng looked at the child in front of him who seemed to have something on his mind suddenly, and his voice slowed down unconsciously.

“I wonder if he is willing to wait for me?”
