Chapter 2787 The Online Game Master's "Straight Male" Roommate 31

As winter approaches, the weather is becoming increasingly erratic.

The morning was a warm, sunny winter day, but by the afternoon dark clouds loomed over the city, and a cold wind carrying damp chill swept through the northern part of the city, followed by a torrential downpour.

Jin Chen had no classes in the afternoon, so she stayed home and finished the last part of her final project report ahead of schedule. She glanced at her phone, estimating the time. At this hour, Cheng Lang should still be at the gym.

Since the two confirmed their relationship, Cheng Lang has paid more attention to maintaining his figure, and his slender muscles are perfectly toned.

Jin Chen... well, Jin Chen admits, she really likes it.

Jin Chen had suggested exercising together at home before, and even bought equipment specifically for this purpose.

Unfortunately, after two attempts, Cheng Lang pushed the restless hands away, panting, and said that if things continued like this, his pectoral muscles would definitely not grow from training, but from being eaten.

Therefore, Jin Chen could only regretfully lose this home-based benefit for the time being.

Jin Chen changed into a thicker coat, grabbed an umbrella, and went out.

The winter rain was icy cold, and the wind whipped the raindrops onto them. The gym wasn't far from where they lived, only a ten-minute walk away, and they could also buy groceries on the way back.

This gym is not large and focuses on small group personal training sessions. Cheng Lang mostly signed up for classes in the evening.

Cheng Lang was stretching when he heard the coach chatting with several familiar students.

My colleague, an office worker, received a phone call and was picked up by his wife in her car.

The coach, a capable woman in her early thirties, known as Sister Li, jokingly said with a smile, "Look at her, she gets picked up rain or shine. We're all alone here, let's just stay and chat for a while until the rain gets a little lighter before we leave. There are two umbrellas on the rack by the door for everyone, anyone who needs one can take it later."

The young male trainee collapsed on the ground, wailing, "I want a family too! Sister Li, can you introduce me to someone?"

Sister Li: "Come on, get rid of that belly first. We have a handsome guy named Cheng here."

Cheng Lang listened to their teasing without responding, leaning forward to feel the stretch in the back of his thighs.

He wasn't envious of that man. He was thinking to himself whether to rush home or go to the convenience store next door to buy an umbrella if the rain continued to pour.

Then I thought, should I stop by the supermarket on my way home and buy some groceries?

Xiao Chen is currently working on his final project, which is quite demanding. I need to make him something nice to eat to help him relax.

However, it would be more fun to go grocery shopping together tomorrow when Xiaochen doesn't have class.

As Cheng Lang pondered this, he glanced out the window and saw a figure holding a transparent umbrella walking towards the gym entrance.

The rain was heavy and the wind was strong, but the person walked very steadily.

Rainwater slid down the transparent umbrella, and the misty rain enveloped the young man in a halo of light, making him appear almost unreal, yet his expression remained indifferent. In the dark, damp rain, he was truly stunning.

"Holy crap... this handsome guy is at the gym? Whose family member is this, Sister Li? Is he yours?" The male student was also taken aback by his good looks.

Sister Li: "My God, she looks like a celebrity. I wish I could look like that."

As Cheng Lang watched the figure getting closer and closer, a sense of pride and excitement welled up inside him. In an instant, he understood why the office worker had been showing off.

His gaze followed the person outside the window until the person closed their umbrella, pushed open the glass door, and walked in, at which point he turned his head away.

Cheng Lang cleared his throat, but couldn't suppress the smile on his lips. "He's my boyfriend."

Sister Li: "Holy crap... handsome guys really do need to be paired with other handsome guys, they're a perfect match!"

[The villain's darkening value is detected -5, totaling 10! 】

Jin Chen pushed open the door and came in, put away the umbrella, and stood on the umbrella stand by the door.

"elder brother."

Cheng Lang was also captivated by her boyfriend's good looks today. A sense of pride welled up inside her like bubbles, and all she could think about was wanting to hold him close and take him home.

He took Jin Chen's slightly cool hand in his and gently scratched his palm with his fingertips.

“Perfect timing, I just finished practicing too.” Cheng Lang looked at him, his eyes shining. “Come with me to change my clothes, then we’ll go home.”

"Okay," Jin Chen agreed, letting him lead her.

Amidst the teasing glances of the other trainees, Cheng Lang led Jin Chen toward the changing room.

The changing room was a single room. Cheng Lang pulled Jin Chen inside and closed the door behind him.

Before Jin Chen could speak, Cheng Lang cupped his face and kissed him.

Jin Chen responded to the kiss, their tongues entwining, and she loosely embraced him, her fingertips brushing against his full chest.

Cheng Lang's breathing became heavier. He stepped back slightly, but then, as if unable to restrain himself, he grabbed Jin Chen's hand and pressed it against his chest.

"Touch it."

Jin Chen's fingertips sank into the elastic texture.

Cheng Lang is a clean person. After finishing his practice, he took a shower. Now, he only smells of shower gel, and his skin is warm and smooth.

Jin Chen lowered his head and kissed the reddened skin, then moved up along the collarbone, pecking at Cheng Lang's lips and gently caressing them.

"Brother," Jin Chen whispered against Cheng Lang's lips, "you're so enthusiastic today."

Cheng Lang felt a little dizzy from his kisses, his chest filled with a satisfied and restless emotion.

He liked Jin Chen's slightly aggressive kisses, which made him feel needed and loved by Jin Chen wholeheartedly.

Cheng Lang muttered, patting Jin Chen's hair, "Is doing research projects tiring?"

Jin Chen rested her chin on Cheng Lang's neck and rubbed her warm skin against him. "Seeing you makes me feel less tired."

Cheng Lang's heart softened completely. He ran his fingers through Jin Chen's cool black hair and gently rubbed it, saying, "You have such a sweet tongue."

Jin Chen chuckled softly, her breath brushing against Cheng Lang's neck.

"truth."

The two lingered in the changing room for a while before Cheng Lang gently pushed Jin Chen away. "Okay, I'll change. Are you hungry?"

"Hungry." Jin Chen straightened up, leaned against the wall, and watched Cheng Lang take out clean clothes.

His gaze was open and honest, and Cheng Lang quickened his pace while changing clothes because of his stare.

"What do you want to eat? It seems like we don't have much food left at home." Cheng Lang asked as he put on his coat and tidied himself up.

Jin Chen thought for a moment, "Let's make dumplings. It's been a long time since we've had them. We can buy some minced meat on the way later."

“Okay.” Cheng Lang naturally listened to him and added, “Buy some more shrimp and I’ll make you a shrimp and seafood sandwich.”

"Okay." Jin Chen nodded with a smile, watching him put on his coat and sling his sports bag over his shoulder, and added, "I like to eat whatever you make, brother."

Cheng Lang glared at him, but his eyes were full of laughter. "Come on, that innovative dish I tried to make last time, you took two bites and then secretly fed it to the stray cats downstairs. Do you think I didn't know?"

Jin Chen blinked, looking completely innocent. "Really? Brother must be mistaken. Brother's cooking is the best."

Cheng Lang had no choice but to shake his head with a smile, open the door, and say, "Let's go, let's go, the supermarket will close if we don't leave now."

The two shared an umbrella and walked into the rain.

Jin Chen wrapped his arm around Cheng Lang's shoulder and pulled him closer to his chest.

Cheng Lang leaned against him and suddenly felt that the gloomy, eerie weather wasn't so bad after all.

He even wished the road could be longer.

"Xiaochen."

"Ok?"

"Your project is due next week, right?"

"Well, I've submitted my final project and everything's fine now. It's exam week. How's your graduation project going, bro?"

"It's alright, the code is almost done, but the paper still needs polishing. However, our department's holiday starts a little later..."

The two chatted about trivial matters, their footsteps splashing water as they walked across the puddles.

The streetlights had come on sometime earlier, casting a warm yellow glow that stretched the two shadows of the two people huddled together long.
