Chapter 2795 The Online Game Master's "Straight Male" Roommate 40
The early summer wind in the northern part of the city already carries a hint of dryness, and the leaves of the sycamore trees have turned from tender green to dense shade.
June has arrived in the blink of an eye, with the sound of cicadas and the graduation season upon us.
Cheng Lang returned to school to take graduation photos and attend the graduation ceremony.
And how could Jin Chen be absent from such an important moment?
After the group photo was taken on the playground, classmates and friends who usually get along well gathered together to take their own group photos to commemorate the occasion.
Xu Can hooked his arm around Cheng Lang's neck, grinned at the camera, and then, glancing at the entrance to the playground out of the corner of his eye, nudged Cheng Lang, "Langzi, look! A family member has come to visit the set!"
Cheng Lang had a sudden thought and followed his gaze.
A little distance away from the crowd, Jin Chen walked towards them, holding flowers. His figure was elegant and upright, clean and refreshing. He walked over in the slightly scorching afternoon sun, a true campus heartthrob.
Along the way, she attracted many admiring glances from senior students from other departments who were taking photos.
As Cheng Lang watched the bouquet walk towards her boyfriend through the crowd, the complex emotions of graduation were replaced by joy and satisfaction, and she took a few steps to greet him.
"Don't we have class right now?" Cheng Lang asked, stopping in front of Jin Chen.
Jin Chen handed him the flowers, and using the bouquet as cover, leaned in slightly and kissed him on the corner of his lips amidst the noisy crowd around them.
A brief, secret kiss, the heat of summer, and the fragrance of a bouquet.
"Celebrating my brother's graduation is the most important thing." Jin Chen stepped back a little, his reason perfectly reasonable and justified. "I asked the professor for leave."
Cheng Lang took the flowers, lowered his head and smelled them. They felt heavy in his arms, and his heart felt heavy too. He raised his hand and patted Jin Chen's back.
"Brother, happy graduation." Jin Chen looked into his eyes, and the sunlight fell into his pupils, turning them into melting amber.
Cheng Lang was delighted and took Jin Chen's hand, "Come on, let's take a picture too."
Xu Can, quite perceptively, had already raised his camera. "Come on, family members are here, let me take some stunning graduation photos for you!"
Under the camera's focus, Cheng Lang, dressed in his graduation gown, holding flowers, put his arm around Jin Chen's shoulder and leaned slightly towards him.
"Look here! One, two, three, cheese!"
The camera captured this early summer moment.
In the photo, two equally outstanding young people stand side by side against a backdrop of lush green grass and a clear summer sky.
Cheng Lang had a bright smile and sparkling eyes, radiating the spirit of someone about to spread their wings and soar.
After taking the photos, Cheng Lang looked at the preview photos on the camera and suddenly felt a sense of emotion.
For the first three years of university, he lived a routine and unremarkable life, attending classes, playing sports, working out, and playing video games, just like most boys.
Who would have thought that in this final year, I would meet Jinchen, thus embarking on a life I never anticipated but found joy in.
Cheng Lang turned his head to look at Jin Chen, who was looking down at the photo beside him. "I will keep this photo safe. Two years from now, when you are wearing this outfit," he pointed to his graduation gown, "we will stand here again and take another picture."
Jin Chen looked up and met his expectant gaze, then smiled and said, "Okay."
On graduation day, Cheng Lang naturally had many things to do: a class dinner, saying goodbye to his advisor, and a final chat with his friends...
Jin Chen didn't follow; she went back to her apartment first, leaving a light on for Cheng Lang.
That evening, after having a farewell dinner, Cheng Lang hired a designated driver to take him home.
The bedroom door was ajar. Cheng Lang changed his shoes and quietly walked in.
Jin Chen was already asleep, lying on her side. Cheng Lang turned and went to the bathroom, quickly washed up, and then lay down on the bed, feeling lazy and drunk, next to Jin Chen.
Cheng Lang turned off the light, turned to lean towards Jin Chen, and gently wrapped his arm around her waist. He recalled the flower-scented kiss from earlier that day, and tender feelings of love surged up again.
He kissed Jin Chen's forehead, then lingered on the tip of her nose, and finally landed on the corner of her lips.
The movements are very gentle, a sign of cherishing and overflowing affection, and also a physiological, uncontrollable closeness.
Jin Chen was woken up by the noise and snuggled closer to Cheng Lang, wrapping her arms around his waist. Her voice was sleepy and muffled as she asked, "When did you get home, brother?"
"I just got back a short while ago," Cheng Lang replied softly, gently stroking Jin Chen's nape. "Did I wake you up?"
"You weren't sleeping soundly," Jin Chen sniffed in his arms, "Did you drink, brother?"
"Mmm." Cheng Lang didn't hide it from him; the slight intoxication after washing up hadn't dissipated, making him especially eager to be close to his boyfriend.
Jin Chen looked up and stared at him for a while in the dim light.
"Are you drunk?" Jin Chen asked again, stroking Cheng Lang's brow bone with her fingers.
"No." Cheng Lang took his hand, kissed it, then hooked his own pajamas collar and pulled it down to reveal his chest.
Jin Chen's lips touched that skin, leaving a warm, moist feeling.
Cheng Lang closed his eyes briefly, placed a delicate kiss on Jin Chen's head, gently patted his back, and tenderly comforted him.
“Today, during the dinner, our advisor asked us,” Cheng Lang’s voice was gentle, “what you most want to do after graduation.”
Jin Chen paused slightly, but didn't stop. His breath sprayed onto Cheng Lang's chest, bringing a warm, itchy sensation.
He asked vaguely, "What?"
Cheng Lang's fingers slid from the back of Jin Chen's head to his cheek. With his eyes lowered, he slowly said, "Back then, I was sitting there, having drunk a little wine, watching them all say they wanted to go to the big city to make their way in the world, to start businesses, to realize their dreams..."
Cheng Lang's voice was even softer, "I only have one thought in my mind."
Jin Chen stopped what she was doing and looked up.
In the darkness, their eyes met.
"What are your thoughts?" Jin Chen asked.
Cheng Lang: "I want to buy this place."
The apartment they live in now is rented, but it holds countless warm and intimate memories of how they met, fell in love, and shared their lives.
“Let’s make this our home,” Cheng Lang said.
Outside of work, he has always sought stability and security. While a dramatic and passionate life is certainly moving, being able to share meals and seasons with his loved one is the best thing he could ask for.
Jin Chen stroked Cheng Lang's cheek and pressed her lips to his, "Okay."
"I'll do whatever you say, brother."
Cheng Lang was so happy he almost trembled, his heart pounding with overwhelming emotion.
He was obsessed with returning the kiss, conveying his overwhelming love to her.
"My goodness..." Cheng Lang gasped for breath during a lull in his passion, calling out to Jin Chen softly.
"Ok?"
Cheng Lang kissed Jin Chen's sweaty forehead, his love as heavy as a thousand pounds.
"I love you."
……
Another two years passed.
With his outstanding professional skills, Cheng Lang was successfully promoted to the management of the company's IT department and began to take charge of things independently.
Jin Chen also graduated successfully, ending his temporary assignment at the company, and officially took the helm of Ruifeng Technology as the new president.
"Fengyue Jianghu" remains lively, with version updates and iterations, carrying the Jianghu dreams of generation after generation of players.
Players come and go; some veteran players gradually forget about the game due to the hustle and bustle of real life, while many new players flock in with curiosity and passion.
New dungeons are constantly being introduced, and the names on the leaderboards are constantly changing.
However, Xun Chen and He Liangyue's IDs, as well as their Xianquju guild, remain legendary figures on the server.
They no longer rush for the top kill rankings as frequently as before, and when they do log in, they cooperate well.
In the guild forum, Xianquju's dungeon strategy post is still featured on the homepage, serving as a guide for countless players to clear the dungeon.
Some observant players also discovered a private post that was quite popular in the lifestyle sharing forum.
The poster documents the fun times playing games and completing dungeons with their partner, shares cooking tips and travel experiences outside of work.
The text is plain and simple, and the pictures are mostly of food, scenery, or clasped hands, never showing faces.
"My boyfriend and I were working on a new recipe today, and we almost blew up the kitchen, but it tasted pretty good."
"It's getting colder, and this young man insisted on going out in a light jacket. He caught a cold and was very naughty. But I still have to make him ginger tea."
"The new sofa we picked out together arrived, it's so comfortable to curl up on and play games."
But sharp-eyed veteran players can still make connections from those few words.
This is definitely He Liangyue, the notoriously protective husband warrior on the server, and Xun Chen, the great god he's protecting!
The post is often followed by comments from fellow game enthusiasts who have heard about it, half of whom express envy for the fairy-tale romance and ideal life.
The other half was a joke, saying that the Moon Warrior really has a husband-like demeanor, and that the god is actually like this in private!
The original poster rarely replies, but the record never stops, like a warm love diary, recording the happiness that flows like a gentle stream.
Games, work, life.
Perhaps many people believe that even the closest lovers should have their own personal space.
But for Cheng Lang, the greatest sense of security comes from being able to connect with Jin Chen in every aspect and to have mutual influence.
We discuss the mechanics of the new instance at breakfast, work on different floors of the company, strive for our respective careers, go grocery shopping together after get off work, research new recipes, remember each other's preferences, and tolerate each other's occasional temper tantrums and bad habits.
And so it went, year after year.
Why should they swear an oath never to be separated?
That would be perfect, living like this until old age.
