Our Reality

Chapter 82

The single word boyfriend had given the single dogs in the seventh squad a critical blow.

Knowing that their steel straight and homophobic captain had suddenly turned gay was one thing but seeing the two together with their own eyes was another thing. They were able to joke around before but now they could really sense the ambiguous atmosphere between Cap Song and Advisor Ji.

The two clearly hadnt done anything excessively intimate and they also looked no different from before but just the sight of the two standing there made it difficult for the others to ignore the fact that they were truly a pair.

Tang Le felt dizzy, How is it a boyfriend?

Zhou Mingxuan, Advisor Ji, you really dont need to think about it a little more?!

Ji Yushi slowly ate the hot omelette and answered between bites, Didnt you guys remind me that Cap Song is very popular?

That line was light and very casual.

Ji Yushi spoke so naturally, it was as if he was saying I heard the price of the vegetables would rise so I stopped by and bought some.

Song Qinglan crossed his arms, revealing an arrogant attitude, Thank you for your assistance.

Everyone, Dammit!

Only saw the beginning and didnt see the process. This was the damned fate of wingmen.

Li Chun defeatedly cried out, What did we miss?! Didnt he say that you had a day to consider it?! It was still fine when we were playing games last night. What did you two secretly do while we were asleep?

Escaping single status was a good omen. It meant that the seventh squads curse had been broken. He had even specially prepared a love diary to record Cap Songs journey of escaping singlehood.

That final question happened to be the question everyone was curious about.

Just now, Song Qinglan had said, When I left, you were still sleeping soundly and Rest early next time. They were words that couldnt help but make the others start to use their imaginations.

Everyones expressions were very interesting, as if they were internally thinking that gays were truly different. Despite only bending recently, they were able to reach the next base so quickly.

Song Qinglan was without a doubt. If it wasnt because Ji Yushi was too refined, these rascals would have already asked the question directly. Song Qinglan coldly snorted, What else? Spending a night in a public space like this, would I disrespect Ji Yushi so much?

Everyones hearts stabilised somewhat. It seems that the two hadnt progressed at rocket speed. Song Qinglan was still a low-ranking virgin.

They activated their taunting mode.

If you cant, then you cant!

Hah. Song Qinglans temper was better after escaping singlehood, It was just because it was too late. I only stayed in my boyfriends room and slept with him in my arms for the night.

Ji Yushi finished the omelette and added with the right timing, Single bed. A little tight with two people.

Song Qinglan comforted him, Its okay. Itll be fine when we get home.

Everyone: ???

Everyone, Fuck!!!

Despite everyones nonstop curses and complaints, the two were speaking the truth.

The private training rooms only had single beds so it would indeed be a tight squeeze for two big men. With Song Qinglans big build, any careless movement would result in him falling off. Song Qinglan however didnt mind it and didnt plan on leaving. He simply held Ji Yushi tightly in his arms and managed to spend the night like this.

He couldnt sleep at first.

Ji Yushis sleep quality had always been poor and it as even more difficult for him to sleep peacefully with another person on the bed.

Song Qinglan on the other hand was hot-headed. What was that saying again? With the warm and soft prize in your arms, who can still remain upright? Whats more, the person in his arms was the seemingly cold and refined but warm and soft Ji Yushi.

He restrained his excitement and quietly watched Ji Yushis sleeping appearance in the dark. He only fell asleep in the latter half of the night.

As such, one reason was that it was the beginning of love, and the other more important reason was because they were inexperienced.

Although there wasnt much to worry about after the two shared their feelings, the two of them were actually much more innocent than their teammates thought.

It was about time. The group headed towards the medical centre.

Walking along the spacious corridor, the group of tall and strong Guardians pushed each other back and forth playfully. It resembled a group of school tyrants arrogantly sauntering through the corridors during high school.

When passing the balcony, Duan Wen Suddenly commented, Arent they those bastards from the ninth squad?

Everyone stopped in place and looked over.

In the woods outside, they saw the members of the ninth squad scattered around. They appeared to be searching through the bushes looking for something.

As if sensing their gaze, Lin Xinlan straightened up and looked over.

With this look, he happened to see Song Qinglan, the tallest among them. Lin Xinlan then proceeded to bend his eyes and smile at him. It was unknown if it was done deliberately or not but he even sent finger hearts at Song Qinglan from where he stood.

Everyone,

It had been a while since they returned. They had almost forgotten about this.

Seeing the captain of the ninth squad express love towards the captain of the seventh squad was already commonplace in the Jiang City branch.

No wonder everyone would mention PTSD when talking about Cap Lin. Lin Xinlan was far more expressive and forward in this respect than Ji Yushi.

Tang Le, What are they doing?

Tang Qi, Dont know.

The group continued on.

Ji Yushi said, Searching for a dice.

Dice? Song Qinglan found it strange. Someone last night was also searching for a dice, How did you know?

You gave him a dice during training camp as a trainee. Ji Yushi continued looking ahead as he answered lightly, While we talked here last night, I suggested that he throw it. Probably regretting it now.

After imagining what happened, everyone laughed loudly.

Ji Yushi was probably paying Lin Xinlan back.

The two of them getting together was a matter that would be made public and spread through both the Jiang City branch and the Ning City branch sooner or later. With Ji Yushi who had a tendency to hold grudges, he would ensure that everything had been sorted out properly. This personality of his was truly amazing.

*

All the members of the sevenths squad had returned.

The medical centre had specially gathered experts to personally conduct their psychological evaluation and along the way they also gave them some psychological counselling.

This went on all morning.

At the conclusion of all this, they were notified that they were allowed to return home to rest, and the length of their vacation would be determined after their reports are out.

This meant that this mission that seemingly had no end to it was truly over.

There was no Ouroboros, no Chaos, no bubble world which made one have difficulty distinguishing between reality and illusion, and no mind-boggling Rubiks Cube. Despair, pain, blood and confusion, they all seemed to be something from another time and space. They had returned to their own time and space. They had returned to their safe haven.

Chief Wang came to the seventh squads training ground and sincerely praised them for their hard work.

Once she was done praising them, Chief Wang asked Ji Yushi, Xiao Ji, have you considered transferring to Jiang City and officially becoming a member of the seventh squad?

Old Yu who was previously in the seventh squad had retired, leaving an opening in the squad. For Chief Wang to suggest this, it was in fact something everyone had expected.

Unlike Chief Qi in the bubble world, Chief Wangs approach was much gentler, and she didnt give Ji Yushi any pressure.

Chief Wang said, If you decide to come to Jiang City, I believe you will be able to get along well with your teammates. You should know that Xiao Songs mission report was filled with praise for you. It was a world of difference compared to his attitude when you first came here!

Everyone heckled.

Even Ji Yushi couldnt help but raise the corners of his lips. His appearance was particularly eye-catching among the crowd.

Chief Wang still didnt know the truth yet, so she continued to tear down Song Qinglans platform, Before you came, his was a real rascal. He insisted that Recorders who only do administrative work are useless and that youre just an embroidered pillow! He also said that if you were really transferred to the squad, he would leave immediately!

Song Qinglan was losing his face, .

Haaa, but I know he was just worried that the same thing would happen again. Chief Wang continued, He has a strong sense of responsibility, and he blames himself whenever any of the team members are injured. He was afraid that he wouldnt be able to protect the new member and result in sacrifices. Facts however have shown that his worries were not unreasonable. If it wasnt for your amazing abilities, with how dangerous the mission was this time, the outcome would have probably been quite bad.

In fact, everyone understood.

As the squad with a higher-than-average chance of succeeding, they had been selected by Tianqiong because of the additional Ji Yushi.

Chief Wang said, When the strong meets the strong, one plus one is greater than two. If the seventh squad has you, it would be even more powerful and may become the strongest squad in Jiang City and even in all the Time Management Alliances. Your squad can become the sword guarding time and space.

The female leaders impassioned speech made everyone in the seventh squad store away their comfortable and contented smiles.

They were Guardians of time and space.

Their job is to guard the peace of time and space.

This belief had never changed since they joined Tianqiong.

Ji Yushi said, I will consider it.

He could feel everyones eyes focused on him. There was one in particular that was especially piercing and hot.

Everything was different this time.

Ji Yushi officially responded to this invitation, When I have finished sorting out my personal matters, I will be happy to join the Guardians and become a part of the Seventh Squad.

The two brothers Tang Qi and Tang Le were responsible for retrieving everyones belongings including their phones, clothing and the likes.

Ji Yushi changed into the normal clothes he had brought over when he came to Jiang City and heard a knock on his door.

Song Qinglan pushed the door open and entered.

The scene before him was quite familiar.

Ji Yushi wore an ordinary white shirt as well as a pair of ordinary black trousers. With the shirt tucked into his trousers, his thin waist and straight back were accentuated.

Under the light in the training room, his fair skin and lustrous eyelashes revealed a hint of coldness which made him feel a little distant. It was reminiscent of a pine tree beside a snowy lake.

It was just like when they first met.

Whats wrong? He asked Song Qinglan. There was intimacy in his tone that others couldnt detect.

But it was also completely different from their first encounter.

Song Qinglan walked over, grabbed his arm and pulled him into his embrace. He took a deep breath and said, Dont want you to go.

Song Qinglan had also changed into regular clothes. Contrary to his usual arrogant and domineering image, he now looked like an unrestrained rich kid. Without the identity of the captain of the seventh squad, he was just an ordinary twenty-six-year-old young man.

Ji Yushi was surprised. It turns out that this was what one would call farewell.

He had never been used to the feeling of reluctance. Even when he moved out to live alone when he got into university, he didnt feel reluctant.

At this moment, even despite knowing that they would meet again soon, he finally understood this emotion.

After disappearing for a whole month, it was time for them to go home.

After Ji Yushi turned on his phone, there were many missed called and unread messages. All of them were from his family.

Some of the messages were the same as the bubble world, but there were also many differences This time, Ji Minyue had taken leave and driven directly to Ning City to pick him up.

Ji Yushi leaned against Song Qinglans shoulder. He grabbed the other partys clothes and said, Ill wait for you.

This tacit understanding made Song Qinglan smile. He deliberately pretended to not understand, Wait for me for what?

Ji Yushi followed the flow, Wait for you to come to Ning City to see your grandfather.

Song Qinglan laughed out loud, Damn.

The two embraced for a while. Before the parting emotions grew stronger, Song Qinglan asked, Advisor Ji, can I stay over at your place this time too?

Ji Yushi agreed, Yeah, you can.

You better think it through. Song Qinglan said lowly, Im talking about sharing a bed this time.

KK has something to say:

Cap Song going for the kill!!
