Yu Zhaohan could tell that Shi Du really wanted to come in, and he also wanted Shi Du to come in. However, if he opened the door now, all his practice would be in vain.

Yu Zhaohan said patiently: “Shi Du, don’t be impatient. Let me explain my strange behavior first.”

“I won’t listen!”

Yu Zhaohan’s tone became heavier. “You have to listen.”

“…” Shi Du felt like he was going to explode.

“The skill I just used is called ‘Word Love’ in official terms. This skill involves both parties using phones or the internet for textual teasing and stimulation without physical contact, to release each other’s desires, achieving both mental and physical double pleasure – the above content is what I found on Baidu, and then memorized,” Yu Zhaohan explained sincerely. “This is the only method I found to control them in a long-distance relationship.”

“I said I won’t have a long-distance relationship, I won’t!” A drop of sweat rolled down Shi Du’s forehead. He had never regretted not bringing his room card when he left.

To coax Yu Zhaohan into opening the door, Shi Du tried to keep his voice gentle and even called him baby: “Baby, please open the door, don’t make me kneel down and beg you – I miss you so much.”

Yu Zhaohan picked up his phone and checked the time. He was surprised. “We’ve only been apart for twenty minutes, and you already miss me? You’re really hopeless. What will you do when we have to be apart? You can only endure it. Shi Du, this is a test of endurance, and endurance is victory.”

Shi Du gritted his teeth. “Yu Zhaohan, if you don’t open the damn door…”

Cheese and Jiang Di were getting ready to attend the hotel’s pool barbecue party in their swimwear. They both noticed Timeless standing in front of the adjacent room, looking like he was going mad.

“Bold! He actually dared to address the captain by his real name!”

Cheese’s voice came from the side. Shi Du closed his eyes, suppressed his impatience, and turned to say coldly, “Do you have something to say?”

“What the hell, Timeless?” Seeing Shi Du’s expression, Cheese’s voice gradually turned frightened, “Were you bitten by a zombie?”

It was only then that Shi Du realized he looked like a mad zombie banging on the door. But he would never admit it in front of his teammates. “Go play by yourselves.”

“Why isn’t the captain opening the door for you?” Jiang Di’s expression turned grim. “Did you make him angry?”

Shi Du was speechless. “Do you want to fight?”

Yu Zhaohan saw his two other teammates and said, “You came at the right time. Take Timeless away, I need some alone time.”

Shi Du: ?

Cheese and Jiang Di looked at each other and said in unison: “Yes, Captain!”

They each took one of Shi Du’s arms and attempted to lead him away. Shi Du resisted slightly. “Damn, are you guys serious?”

Cheese advised, “Let’s go, Timeless. The captain doesn’t want to see you right now.”

Cheese’s strength was negligible, but Jiang Di was the key factor. While Timeless and Jiang Di might be evenly matched in a physical struggle, Timeless could outwit him.

He could, but there was no need.

Shi Du was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled: “Yu Zhaohan, you’re amazing, and you’re aloof.” The boy took a step back, and the agitation in his body subsided – at least on the surface.

“Alright, I respect the captain’s wishes. I’ll join you with the training,” Timeless said. “I’ll go out for a late-night snack with them, and when the captain wants to see me, I’ll come back.”

Cheese looked at the captain and then at his brother, with mixed emotions.

Clearly, the two of them had had an argument. The fact that the captain wouldn’t even let Timeless in suggested a serious disagreement.

Shi Du was willing to leave, so Cheese and Jiang Di let him go.

“Brother, what happened to you and the captain?” Although Cheese was jealous of Timeless’s ability to hug the cold and beautiful captain back, he definitely still hoped that the two of them would be fine. He likes the captain very much, and he also likes his younger brother. Love is love. In matters of the heart, fairness is crucial. “Regardless of what happened, it’s definitely your fault.”

After Cheese finished speaking, he was prepared for Shi Du to quibble. Unexpectedly, Shi Du nodded and said, “Indeed.”

If he hadn’t given Yu Zhaohan the impression that they might face a long-distance relationship test, Yu Zhaohan’s mind wouldn’t have gone down such a strange path. If he had really suffocated himself because of this whole situation, well, maybe it would be his own fault.

What bad thoughts can Yuyu have? Yuyu just wanted to ensure that both they and the roosters could live happily together in the future.

But the problem was, there would never be such a day. It seemed a bit excessive to push him to the brink of becoming a zombie.

Timeless was very relieved that their team uniform pants were of a loose-fitting style; otherwise, he would have made a complete fool of himself abroad. He also realized he couldn’t show off in front of his teammates ever again.

Hearing this, Jiang Di said, “If you know you were wrong, you should apologize. If a verbal apology is not enough, you can show it with actions, such as getting up early and making breakfast for him.”

Normally, for Timeless, getting up early for Yu Zhaohan was no big deal. If Yu Zhaohan requested it, he could always do it. But since someone else suggested it, he had to be a little rebellious. “That’s impossible.”

Jiang Di: “.”

The three of them walked to the elevator. Shi Du stopped and said, “Those who make the captain angry are not qualified to eat late-night snacks. You guys go ahead; I’m going to analyze the match with Lu Youshan.”

Yu Zhaohan had finished his shower and checked the time again – he had been separated from Timeless for forty minutes.

Whenever they played outside, he and Timeless shared a room, ate, trained, and slept together, essentially glued to each other for 24 hours.

For Shine, forty minutes was nothing more than playing two rounds of games. In fact, as long as he focused on the game, he might endure being apart from Timeless for forty days.

But Yuyu was different. Yuyu was a clingy person. If he had to be apart from his boyfriend for forty days, he wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Yu Zhaohan opened his computer to review today’s match, and at that moment, his phone vibrated – it was a voice call from Shi Du.

In a long-distance relationship, staying in touch through calls was an important part, and this was considered part of the training as well.

Yu Zhaohan answered the call: “Hey, Shi Du, are you having a late-night snack? Thank you for being willing to cooperate with my training.”

Shi Du’s voice sounded normal, just a bit lower, as if he were deliberately lowering his voice in a public place. “No need to thank me, it’s the least I can do. Have you finished your shower?”

“I just did. Is the late-night snack delicious?”

Shi Du made random remarks: “British BBQ, you can imagine.”

The content of their conversation was as innocent as it could be, and they even talked about today’s match.

Yu Zhaohan asked, “What do you think about the tank strategy we used against Lawman in today’s match?”

“It won’t work,” Timeless replied without hesitation. “Lawman’s focus shooting efficiency is not something we can compare to. If we run a tank system against Lawman, the moment Stone jumps into the crowd, he’s dead.”

Yu Zhaohan said, “I agree.”

“Oh, Yuyu, do you know what we’ll be doing when I get back?”

“What will we be doing?”

The topic was suddenly changed by Shi Du: “Of course…”

The last word was hushed, but Yu Zhaohan heard it clearly, and his heart skipped a beat.

“Captain has just taken a shower, his legs must be nice to touch.”

“I’ll be happy to touch you.”

“Lie down and relax.”

“I want to be behind you.”

Shi Du spoke so many words, and as he continued, his breathing became noticeably irregular, clearly affected. Yu Zhaohan listened to every word through his phone as if Shi Du was right there beside him.

If any of these words, except the last one, were spoken by anyone else, the police would be called. But his boyfriend’s voice was just so pleasant. It was the voice of a disheveled and slightly breathless young man. He had no intention of reporting anything. Instead, he found himself wanting…

Yu Zhaohan put his ear against the screen as if his phone was about to be burned.

He licked his lips and asked, “Shi Du, what are you doing?”

Shi Du laughed: “Don’t you want to practice? Come on.”

Yu Zhaohan: “…Oh, okay.”

Shi Du waited for a while, but when he didn’t hear Yu Zhaohan’s voice, he said, “Why don’t you speak now?”

Yu Zhaohan’s face was so red that it was almost bleeding, and he obediently answered Shi Du’s questions in order.

“I think it feels good to touch. Do you want to touch it?”

“I want to.”

“Lie down.”

“What does ‘from behind’ mean?”

Shi Du chuckled and said: “Yuyu, you can’t just answer my questions, you need to say other things. Weren’t you really good at it just now?”

Yu Zhaohan said: “I’m not really good at it, all of those were copied from the internet.”

Shi Du said: “Then read out the words you just typed.”

Yu Zhaohan recalled what he had typed a moment ago and began to recite the whole text, “When will you come back? I want to take off your clothes right away, and let you wear me out until I cry…”

Yu Zhaohan’s voice seemed like he was reciting a text at first, but if you listened closely, you could sense his slight nervousness.

“I’m already back,” Shi Du couldn’t take it anymore. “Open the door.”

Yu Zhaohan was stunned and looked towards the door. He had a feeling that Shi Du hadn’t left and had been calling him through a door.

Yu Zhaohan walked to the door and took off the door chain uncertainly.

As soon as the door opened, the boy wrapped his arms around his waist, then pushed him against the door and kissed him on the lips.

He and Shi Du had kissed countless times, but never had it been as wild and beastly as now.

It was hard to imagine that this was happening between two rookies. He and Shi Du were truly amazing, both candidates for this season’s regular season MVP.

In any case, their first long-distance relationship training had failed.

Yu Zhaohan was carried to the bed, thinking that they would be taking care of each other as before, and said vaguely: “We need to take care of our hands, we have a match next week. Every ten minutes I have to be Yuyu for a while and stretch my muscles.”

Shi Du stared at his lips and said, “You are the commander.”

Yu Zhaohan didn’t know why Shi Du mentioned this, but his professional instincts kicked in, “Yes, you have to listen to my commands. Don’t act on your own. Flank and cut the crispy skin.”

Shi Du interrupted him: “I don’t need a commander, so I don’t need to protect my throat.”

“…Huh?”

Shi Du lowered his head to him again. Yu Zhaohan’s eyes widened suddenly and he stepped back to avoid it. At the same time, he tried to push Shi Du away: “No, this is not fair. I want to take command. I can’t help you.”

Shi Du lifted his head and held onto Yu Zhaohan’s leg to keep him from leaving. “Do you like thigh-slapping?”

Yu Zhaohan replied, “It’s not that I like it, it’s what I read online.”

“Well, can I borrow it later?”

Yu Zhaohan didn’t quite understand, “Borrow what?”

“Your thigh.”

With Cheese’s big mouth around, the news of the captain and Timeless having a fight quickly spread throughout R.H.

There was a time when he had the determination to protect secrets at all costs, but after being deeply hurt, he completely gave up on it.

As long as Xu Lanzhi knew something, half an hour later, R.H. wouldn’t have anyone left who didn’t know about it; that’s how careless he had become.

After Lu Youshan heard about it, he put down the review in his hands and rushed straight to Shine and Timeless’s room without saying a word.

They were about to face Lawman, and if the double C dared to have a fight at this time, affecting their on-field teamwork, he would jump from London Tower Bridge.

The door was quickly knocked open.

Luo Youshan looked at his in-house assassin, shirtless, and asked directly, “I heard you had a fight with Shine?”

Shi Du replied, “Oh, we’ve made up.”

Luo Youshan was still worried, “Really?”

Shi Du raised his chin and asked, “What do you think?”

Lu Youshan was much shorter than Shi Du and from his angle he could just see the faint kiss mark on Shi Du’s Adam’s apple.

The coach was very satisfied: “Very good, very energetic, keep it up!”
