[Net King] Under Thirty

Chapter 9

They didn't say goodbye.

Some things in the conversation were tacitly ignored, and the hot water in the electric kettle just boiled when the hotel service staff brought clean clothes.Nioh drew the curtains and opened the window to let the cold wind blow in.

He stood by the window and drank a cup of hot water while bathing in the cold wind.

Then he changed his clothes, waved to Atobe who was still sitting on the bed as if thinking about life, opened the door and went out.

There is no goodbye.

It's not a hypocritical idea, it's just that King Ni felt that there was no need to say goodbye.

Encounter is accidental, and farewell is hypocritical.

As for what Atobe thinks... Well, Nioh said he doesn't care much.

He bought a ticket to Suzdal that day with a backpack on his back. When he booked the ticket and waited for the bus, he glanced at the time and date and realized that today was his birthday.

He stared at the December [-]th and thought that if the time difference was counted, then last night would be his birthday.

After all, the time difference of six hours is pushed forward from zero o'clock...

Well, definitely before he met Atobe.

... Puff?

So this birthday present is pretty good, right?

Opening the address book and finding the contact information that Atobe had left for him, Nioh hesitated and exited the interface.

Well, just spit it out yourself.

Imagine Atobe's reaction to receiving a text message like "Thank you for the birthday gift"...

Seems like fun too?

While in the car, he received congratulatory messages from several old friends.We all know that he is not in the country, and gifts and the like cannot be sent to the person concerned.Marui said that when you come back to my shop, I will make a birthday cake for you, guaranteeing double the sugar content, Nioh rolled his eyes and thought that only you can eat the cake with double sugar content.

Besides, I've already received my birthday present.

Although not given by you.

Thinking of this, King Ni finally couldn't hold back.

He did some calculations, and finally called Yukimura.

With an eight-hour time difference, Yukimura was awakened by a phone call in the middle of the night.

"...you'd better have something urgent."

It was only after hearing Yukimura's voice that Nioh realized that it was still early morning in the United States.He apologized casually, and looked at the snow scene passing by outside the window with a smile in his voice: "It's not really important, I just want to find someone to show off."

"...What are you showing off? Are you in Russia now?" Yukimura rubbed his temples without getting up, turned over and continued talking on the phone.

"Yes, I'm in Russia." Nioh said, "I met Atobe yesterday."

"Oh." Yukimura finally came to his senses after answering, "Atobe? Yesterday?"

He frowned and thought for a while: "Why is Atobe in Russia?"

"I don't know. Why should I care why he is in Russia." Nioh said confidently, "Anyway, I met him in Russia."

"...So, what's there to show off? Or did you do something to him?" Yukimura asked puzzled.

King Ren's tone was brisk: "Yes, I slept with him."

Yukimura: "..."

Wait, asleep?

Is it the same as what he thought about falling asleep?

Yukimura suddenly fell asleep.

Sitting up straight, Yukimura was rarely surprised and said, "You...didn't lie?"

"What's the point of lying about this kind of thing?" Nioh said, "I'm pretty happy now anyway. Well, the confidant is over, you can continue to sleep, bye."

Yukimura: ... Nioh, if you talk like this halfway, it is easy to lose my friendship if you drop the bomb and run away.

Yukimura twitched the corner of his mouth under the busy tone, and moved the phone away.

The time displayed on the screen made him stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly understood the purpose of Nioh's sudden call after eight hours of time difference.

The man nicknamed a fraudster has had the habit of telling him things about him since he was young, probably because he actively gossiped when he was in middle school in order to keep him from being bored in the hospital.As for Nioh's liking for the Atobu, there are so many people in the tennis club, he is probably the only one who has seen some clues.It was originally a hidden and hazy feeling, and even the person concerned remained skeptical, and only he was inexplicably certain.

No wonder it's a show off.

Yukimura tapped the date on the screen.

Atobe fell asleep on my birthday...

I don't know how Atobe will react if he knows that King Nio thinks so.

How could it be impossible for these two people to roll together for no reason?
