I Can Do It

Chapter 46

Jian Rong didn’t even think about it before nodding. “We have. I was also at the stadium during the last Worlds finals.”

Lu Boyuan paused and laughed in spite of himself. “My memory isn’t that bad. I’m talking about before the finals…”

After he finished sending Ding-ge a message, Lu Boyuan tilted his head and looked at Jian Rong’s hair. “Before you dyed your hair, have we met before?”

Jian Rong opened his mouth but didn’t say anything.

Because he also didn’t know whether their earliest encounter could be considered as “meeting” one another. He was certain that at the time, Lu Boyuan definitely hadn’t seen what Jian Rong clearly looked like.

In the end, Jian Rong said, “I’ve seen you before.”

Lu Boyuan nodded. “Back when I was playing in the LSPL1?”

“Yes.” Jian Rong thought about it and said, “I was there at the competition at the time.”

Which was why he had that merch hat.

That way, it all made sense. Although it had been the finals, the LSPL was the secondary league, and esports hadn’t become popular yet either, so the competition site was very small. With one glance, the entire audience could be seen.

But Lu Boyuan didn’t really remember himself looking at the audience back then.

He knitted his eyebrows together a tiny bit before quickly relaxing them. “How come you’re only wearing a mask.”

“I accidentally got my hat wet, but I didn’t blow-dry it because I was pressed for time. I returned the scarf.”

Jian Rong had already donated his scarf from last year to the little orange cat. Since he hadn’t really gone outside much this winter, he just never bought another one.

Someone knocked on the driver’s side window. They both looked over simultaneously to see two police officers standing outside the car.

Lu Boyuan rolled down the car window. The police officer extended his head forward. “Were you two the ones who called in the report?”

Jian Rong: “Yes.”

Jian Rong put on his mask and was about to get out of the car when the person sitting next to him gently pulled at his arm.

Lu Boyuan tossed the scarf that he just took off to Jian Rong.

Lu Boyuan’s body heat still lingered on the scarf. Jian Rong gripped it and stared blankly at it for a few seconds. “No need, I’m not cold.”

Lu Boyuan didn’t reply. He opened the door and got out of the car while also tugging the collar of his turtleneck higher. He said to the police officer outside, “Sir, you’ve worked hard. The lock to our base has been pried open, and someone should have entered. We haven’t gone inside yet, so we still aren’t sure if there’s been any damage…”

The car door closed, and Lu Boyuan’s voice grew muffled from outside the car.

Lu Boyuan’s back was to Jian Rong. His jacket was wrapped solidly around his upper body, making the man’s broad shoulders and long legs even more obvious. Lu Boyuan’s head was slightly lowered as he talked to the police officers, and he said something that caused the police officer to look over at Jian Rong, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
