Chapter 2774: The Online Game Master's 'Straight Male' Roommate 15

"All right." Cheng Lang let out a breath, his palm lightly touching Jin Chen's cheek, his palm was warm and moist.

Cheng Lang turned the heat to low, added rose petals and goji berries, then simmered it slowly for a while.

He poured the heated milk tea into two cups, sliced a plate of crisp sweet apples to accompany it, carried the tray back to the sofa, and saw Jin Chen kick off his slippers, curling up in the wide sofa; the steam from the milk tea made even his eyelashes a little damp.

Seeing him approach, Jin Chen lifted his eyes, smiled, and patted the spot beside him.

Cheng Lang suddenly felt an urge to do something to make this warm closeness more tangible.

He put the tray on the coffee table, sat down beside Jin Chen, the two close enough that their legs touched and shoulders leaned against each other.

Cheng Lang whispered, "Want to hug?"

He always indulged Jin Chen's closeness, but rarely initiated it himself.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Cheng Lang's ears felt a little hot.

The smile in Jin Chen's eyes deepened. "Yes."

Cheng Lang then pulled the thick wool blanket from the sofa and wrapped both of them in it.

Under the blanket, Jin Chen half-lying in Cheng Lang's embrace, quietly sipped a few mouthfuls of milk tea.

Immediately, he lifted his head, touched the spot on Cheng Lang's neck that had been bitten, his fingertip lightly pressing there, then sliding down the neck, passing the moving Adam's apple, stopping over Cheng Lang's firm chest muscle through the sweater.

"Senior," Jin Chen whispered in his ear, "To you, I'm also different, right?"

The answer was beyond doubt.

Cheng Lang thought, in his first half of life, over twenty years, he had many friends and buddies, but never had anyone like Jin Chen who could easily sway all his emotions.

"Yes," he heard himself reply, his voice a little dry, "You and them… are all different." This was the truth, needing no embellishment.

Jin Chen's lips curled in a triumphant arc, his fingertip drawing circles on his chest.

"So, I like staying with you, senior, I like being close to you, a bit more intimate than with other friends… is that okay?"

Cheng Lang's heart gave a heavy thump, a vague sense of danger flashing through his mind.

He felt something was off, but that doubt was suppressed by indulgence and his soft-heartedness.

"Yes……" he heard himself say, "What do you want to do……"

Before his words faded, Jin Chen leaned in again, opened his mouth and bit his neck side, sucking with a bit of force.

A corner of the blanket was lifted, the milk tea Jin Chen hadn't finished spilled somehow, soaking his chest's sweater.

"Ah, I messed it up." Jin Chen was vexed, but innocent.

Jin Chen decided to personally clean the milk tea that had spilled on the senior.

Wet, carrying the lingering sweet scent of the milk tea, little by little, slowly, he licked.

The tingling numbness intensified, making Cheng Lang instinctively want to pull back, but Jin Chen lifted his eyes at that moment.

The yellowish light fell into Jin Chen's eyes, reflecting a misty hue and joy from within.

He gazed at Cheng Lang with that look.

Cheng Lang's thought of resistance collapsed, unable to muster even a hint of refusal.

He slightly tilted his head back, raised his somewhat trembling hand, and rubbed behind Jin Chen's ear.

Jin Chen, as if having received permission, began to savor it with relish.

Nothing much, right?

Cheng Lang thought in confusion.

Cheng Lang tried to use reason to convince his slightly heated head: he was a man, his pectoral muscles trained just to look good, with no real practical use.

Xiao Chen liked the milk tea he made; that was nice, liking it so much that even if he spilled it accidentally he wanted to clean it up himself… also nice.

Cheng Lang's Adam's apple rolled once; seeing Jin Chen's forehead damp with sweat, he gently helped smooth it, then embraced Jin Chen's back, lightly patting.

The pleasure of possessive desire being fully satisfied quietly arose in this gentle stroking and intimate contact, filling his heart to the brim.

……

Over the next two days, Jin Chen was indeed busy with group work, feet never touching the ground, returning only late each day.

Cheng Lang knew he was busy, preparing various late-night snacks to ensure he had something hot to eat when he returned.

That evening, Jin Chen said he had an elective class at night, plus the group project needed to catch up, so he would return later than usual.

Cheng Lang looked at the overcast sky outside, then thought of Jin Chen's poor night vision, feeling uneasy.

He thought it over, then simply packed up, saying, "I happen to need to go to the library to check some materials tonight; let's go to school together."

"After your class ends I'll pick you up, and… treat your group members to a late-night snack?"

Jin Chen was changing shoes in the entryway; hearing this, he paused, looked up at him, a smile blossoming in his eyes, "Sure."

The two left together; upon arriving at school, each went about his own business.

Cheng Lang indeed went to the library, and on the way also dragged out Xu Can, who had been binge‑gaming in the dorm.

"What are you doing, Langzi!" Xu Can hugged his laptop, wailing repeatedly.

Cheng Lang showed no mercy, pressing him into the library seat.

Xu Can muttered, but obediently opened the software.

The two busied themselves for a while; Cheng Lang rubbed his slightly sore shoulders, got up to stretch, and by chance switched to the game interface.

Xun Chen's avatar was dark, still offline, but the guild channel was unusually lively, messages flying by fast.

He glanced a few times; the topic revolved around the large comic expo to be held at the end of the month in A City.

Cheng Lang recalled the VIP tickets he and Jin Chen had won, his heart giving a slight twitch.

【Leisurely Abode】Ma La Tang: Folks! Did anyone snag the expo VIP tickets? I guarded for three days and didn't get a single hair! Scalper tickets are sky‑high priced!

【Leisurely Abode】Ming Yue Jiang: +1, the speed‑cryers are weeping.

【Leisurely Abode】Xiao Tian Bing: I heard there's also a top‑tier master showdown PK performance this time!

〖Leisure Abode〗Nuomituan: However, the big boss Xunchen appears and disappears mysteriously; he didn't come to the last offline gathering either.

〖Leisure Abode〗Anyinglang: Eh, this time it's uncertain, the big boss is currently in A City, oh. (holding a rose, evil smile. jpg)

〖Leisure Abode〗Caiyangliu: Real or fake? Lang bro got any insider info?

〖Leisure Abode〗Anyinglang: Can't say, can't say~ Anyway, our guild's team-building event this time might have a surprise. @all members, let out a squeak; those who can go, please sign up; let's meet offline! Let's meet offline!

〖Leisure Abode〗Jianwuxiao (President): Everyone, cut the chatter; details pending notice; however… @Heliangyue newcomer, will you come to this comic expo? Our guild's tradition: for large offline events, please try to attend if you can; let's make it lively.

Cheng Lang froze for a moment, then a faint excitement welled up in his heart.

He always felt he owed a proper thanks to the great god Xunchen; the thanks in the game always felt insufficient, and if he could say it in person, that would be just perfect.

〖Leisure Abode〗Heliangyue: I'm in A City; if time permits, I'll go; besides… the great god Xunchen, is he really also in A City?

〖Leisure Abode〗Xiaotianbing: You're in A City! Great! Let's meet offline! Let's meet offline!

〖Leisure Abode〗Mingyuejiang: The great god and Lang bro are familiar; Lang bro says this, it's likely true! Moon warrior, come quickly; you might just get to see your idol!

〖Leisure Abode〗Anyinglang: Hey, as the Buddha said, cannot speak; anyway, you'll know once you come.
