Chapter 75 - The three family members were joyous and harmonious
Edited by Divetus
Jing Huan was really frightened this time, and it wasn’t just a small fright.
This terror manifested in his feet, which were originally already moving around because of his embarrassment, and then after seeing that sentence, his foot directly kicked out the power cord.
The computer screen suddenly blacked out, and Jing Huan stared at himself in the black screen. It was as if he had written the word “muddled” on his face.
He remembered that he had specifically opened the side account to coax Yearning For to divorce him.
The initial direction was clearly right, and the golden sentences had also been used.
And then what?
What did they say later?
Why did he suddenly want to meet up in person???
Xiang Huaizhi looked at the place where the avatar had disappeared, and he gently frowned.
He took off his earphones and had just picked up his cellphone to ask when there was a sharp dragging sound behind him.
Lu Hang pushed his chair over and looked at him with a complicated expression. “You… Who were you just talking to?”
Xiang Huaizhi glanced at him. “What are you doing?”
Lu Hang continued, “You wouldn’t be doing that, would you?”
“Speak clearly,” Xiang Huaizhi said.
Lu Hang coughed, “Cheating.”
He had just been talking with Chunxiao about guild matters. As soon as he had taken off his headphones, he had heard the words “blacklist”, “hunt down and kill”, “I believe you”, and “meet you” from Xiang Huaizhi.
However he listened to it, it was very ambiguous!
The most most most important thing was—Xiao Tianjing wasn’t online at this time.
Lu Hang frowned and thought that it couldn’t be that his roommate had tasted the sweetness of online dating and had decided to indulge a bit more ba?
“Xiangxiang, I’m telling you, men can’t be like this,” Lu Hang said bitterly. “If you do this, you will become the leading actor of the 818 posts in the forum… Although you’ve been there before, it’s not the same.”
“Not cheating.” Xiang Huaizhi interrupted his nonsense.
“Then, who were you just courting?” Lu Hang looked at him suspiciously. “I checked ah, Xiao Jinjing isn’t online.”
Xiang Huaizhi paused. “Courting?”
He thought about it for a while, but he couldn’t think of a single sentence of his that counted as “courting”.
Lu Hang looked at his expression and said, “Otherwise, would you say those words just now to your friends?”
Xiang Huaizhi suddenly glanced at him and said, “No.”
Lu Hang felt offended.
He choked. “Then, you’re still saying you’re not cheating?”
Xiang Huaizhi looked away. “It’s their side account.”
“Whose side account…” Lu Hang thought about it. “Xiao Jingjing’s?”
“En.”
Lu Hang breathed a sigh of relief. “Oh… Why did she open a side account?”
“Main account couldn’t hold all her items, so she made a side account.” Xiang Huaizhi made up an excuse.
Lu Hang nodded. “Why didn’t she just tell me, I have a lot of side accounts, I could’ve just sent her one… Oh, wait! So, you guys are meeting up in person?”
Looking at the shota fox’s head in the stranger list, Xiang Huaizhi said, “No.”
Lu Hang suddenly understood. “Got rejected? But that’s normal.”
Xiang Huaizhi had originally wanted to drive him away, but now twisted his eyebrows and asked, “Why?”
Lu Hang was stunned. “Haven’t you guys just gotten married? It hasn’t even been a week… What girl would want to meet you in person after less than a week of marriage?”
Xiang Huaizhi considered this and thought it sounded right.
He knew who Xiao Tianjing was and that they could meet at any time, so he didn’t put much importance on this matter, but in Jing Huan’s eyes, it wasn’t like that.
He really hadn’t thought it through.
“And…” Lu Hang frowned at him and said with a laugh, “What do you want to do by carefully making this appointment to meet up in real life? Too impatient ba.”
Xiang Huaizhi gave him a cold glance.
Lu Hang quickly got in front of him and said, “We’re all men, it’s no fun for you to pretend otherwise ah. Don’t say that you don’t have any thoughts on that at all. Is chatting with Xiao Tianjing face-to-face the only reason for you to make an appointment to meet up with her?”
Xiang Huaizhi was too lazy to reply to him and walked out carrying his cellphone in his hand.
Lu Hang hadn’t finished talking yet, so he quickly shouted, “Where are you going?”
“Going to find some peace and quiet.”
The door opened, cold wind blew through the gap, and soon disappeared.
Lu Hang sat in the chair, holding the back of the chair and happily laughed. It still wasn’t enough, so he couldn’t help taking out his cellphone to text Xiao Tianjing.
Little Road Little Road Certainly Wouldn’t Get Lost: Xiao Jingjing, you don’t know what you missed.
Xiao Jing ya: ?
Little Road Little Road Certainly Wouldn’t Get Lost: You missed the opportunity to meet our campus idol and have in-depth exchanges with him.
Xiao Jing ya: …
Jing Huan almost believed him.
Whose campus’ idol would run around doing online dating ah? He would have long ago been coaxed away by all the girls around him, OK?
Jing Huan laid on his bed staring at the ceiling, and after a while corrected himself.
Not necessarily, their campus idol had no partner.
Although the term “campus idol” wasn’t used anymore, when it came to these two words, Jing Huan couldn’t help but think of Xiang Huaizhi.
And Xiang Huaizhi seemed to have played NCH before.
He didn’t know if he had gotten married in the game.
Shit, the more he thought about it, the farther away he got.
Jing Huan quickly gathered up his thoughts and concentrated on worrying about his own affairs.
Who knew how long his distress lasted, but the vibration from his cellphone pulled him back to reality. It was finally a reply to the message he had sent out before.
Xiao Jing ya: Gege, I accidentally kicked the power cord and shut down the computer…
Xiang: En.
Xiang: Let’s wait a bit before meeting in person ba.
Xiao Jing ya: Ah?
Xiang: [voice]
Jing Huan turned over and laid on the bed, turning up the volume of his cellphone.
“When you want to meet later, we’ll meet then.”
Jing Huan was spellbound by his cellphone, and after an indeterminate amount of time, it vibrated again.
Xiang: Don’t think about it anymore.
Xiao Jing ya: …
Xiao Jing ya: It’s not that I don’t want to meet Gege, I’m just a little shy. T▽T
Xiang: En.
Jing Huan looked at the phone screen and didn’t know how to reply.
He found that, although he had managed to muddle through unpunished, his heart was uneasy. Since knowing that Yearning For’s account had been played by someone else before, his heart had been suspended in midair, never managing to land safely anywhere.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t just keep on playing out this act, it was just that Yearning For was too good to him.
To be exact, he was too good to Xiao Tianjing.
But that was towards Xiao Tianjing, not Jing Huan. Xiao Tianjing was just a character he made up and acted out. The personality was fake, the voice was fake, and even the gender was fake.
Jing Huan rubbed his hair impatiently, just lying there spread-eagle on the bed.
Xiang: I’m going to sleep.
Xiao Jing ya: Wait!
Xiang: ?
Jing Huan gritted his teeth and typed.
Xiao Jing ya: Let’s meet on Christmas ba.
Xiang: ?
Xiao Jing ya: Is that okay…
Xiang: Yes.
Xiang: Why?
Xiao Jing ya: Ah, because by then, we’ll have already been married for a month, so I think we can meet then 0.0!
Xiang: Good.
Xiao Jing ya: Where does Gege live? I’ll check the airplane tickets in advance.
Xiang: Where are you?
Xiao Jing ya: Man City
Xiang: Understood.
Xiang: I’ll come to find you on that day.
And just like that, Jing Huan set up his time of death.
He had already thought it through; he couldn’t just keep dragging it on like this between him and Yearning For. If Yearning For had not gotten tired of him before Christmas, he would just go for broke and lay bare everything in person.
At the very worst, he could just let him beat him up a bit. He was a rough-skinned and fleshy big man after all, getting beaten up wouldn’t be a big deal.
If that wasn’t enough, then he could just beat him up twice.

With the sports festival coming, the school sports field was also full of people.
After running the 1500m twice, Jing Huan finally couldn’t stand it, and he just sat down on the grass nearby.
“Don’t sit after running.” Xiang Huaizhi said with half-lidded eyes.
“I can’t get up anymore.” Jing Huan gasped and looked up at him. “Ge, why aren’t you gasping for breath at all. You’re too strong ba.”
“It’s just 1500m,” Xiang Huaizhi insisted, “Get up and stand a bit.”
Jing Huan’s mouth twitched, and he reached out to him.
Xiang Huaizhi stared at his hand and didn’t respond.
“Give me a hand, Ge.” Jing Huan said, “I really can’t get up.”
Xiang Huaizhi hesitantly reached out. Even before his arm straightened, Jing Huan grasped his hand and stood up with his strength.
The two of them were very close, and Xiang Huaizhi saw him lick his dry lips.
“Your water.” Xiang Huaizhi asked.
Jing Huan said, “In the stands, too lazy to go get it.”
As Jing Huan was talking, he subconsciously glanced at the mineral water in Xiang Huaizhi’s hand.
Xiang Huaizhi followed his gaze and also looked down.
“…”
Xiang Huaizhi passed the water bottle to him.
“Thank you, Ge.” Jing Hun took it with a smile, opened the bottle cap, and poured it into his mouth.
After they finished their run, the two of them walked back together.
“Ge,” Jing Huan suddenly turned to ask him when they had walked halfway, “Why don’t you play NCH?”
Xiang Huaizhi paused, then said, “No time.”
“It really does takes time…” Jing Huan paused then asked, “Did you ever get married in the game?”
He had been curious about this since the thought came to him that night.
Xiang Huaizhi let out an “en”.
Jing Huan was stunned and slowed down, soon falling behind Xiang Huaizhi.
He returned to his senses and hurried to catch up. “Really ah, Ge?”
“Why would I trick you?”
“Online dating? True online dating?”
Xiang Huaizhi glanced at him. “Are you very interested?”
Jing Huan let out a dry laugh: “En… Just a little curious.”
“It’s online dating,” Xiang Huaizhi said. “What else do you want to ask?”
Fuck.
It turned out that there really were handsome guys who engaged in online dating.
He couldn’t believe it.
Jing Huan actually had many questions to ask, but he realized that if Xiang Huaizhi and his online lover were still on good terms, then he definitely wouldn’t have sold his account, let alone abandon the game.
Afraid to bring up his sad story, Jing Huan shook his head. “No, no more.”
They ran once every two days until the day of the sports festival, and Jing Huan didn’t even beat Xiang Huaizhi once.
The big sports festival wasn’t any better than a senior high school festival. The students who wanted to go online went online, and the ones who wanted to go home went home, leaving very few people to come to cheer everyone on. Lu Wenhao and Gao Zixiang didn’t have any events in the afternoon, and they both just holed themselves up in their dorm.
Jing Huan went to the sports field alone and met Xiang Huaizhi during the procession.
“Ge.” He half-jokingly said, “Wait for me later.”
Xiang Huaizhi heard him and a rare smile twitched at the corner of his mouth. “En.”
Later, Jing Huan learned that this handsome man not only dated online, he could also trick people.
When he was a few hundred meters away from the finish line, Xiang Huaizhi rushed through first.
After determining their scores, Jing Huan clenched his fist and thumped Xiang Huaizhi’s arm gently. “Liar ah, you said you’d wait for me.”
“Am I not waiting for you now?” Xiang Huaizhi checked the time, “Let’s go eat together?”
Jing Huan had just wanted to agree when his cellphone suddenly rang.
He picked it up and said a few sentences, and the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger.
After hanging up, he said, “My parents have come to see me, they’re almost at the school gate.”
Xiang Huaizhi’s eyebrows very lightly furrowed, and he had just wanted to bid him farewell when his words twisted once they reached his mouth. “At the front gate?”
Jing Huan nodded. “Yes.”
“Let’s go together,” Xiang Huaizhi said. “Have to go buy something at the front gate anyway.”
On the way to the school gate, Jing Huan’s words were constantly hovering in Xiang Huaizhi’s mind.
He wanted to see what kind of parents would turn a blind eye to Jing Huan after having a new family and were even willing to let their own child work every night and live on 200 yuan a week.
As they arrived at the front gate, Jing Huan stood on the side of the road and looked around, eyes full of anticipation.
Xiang Huaizhi quietly stared at him and inexplicably felt a bit sad. As soon as he wanted to say something, he saw Jing Huan’s eyes light up.
“Ge, I see my parents… You go ahead! See you next time!”
At the end of this sentence, Jing Huan waved to him and ran to the station on the right.
Xiang Huaizhi watched him as he jogged over there and ran… right next to a black Maybach.
A couple came down from the car. The woman had curled her hair and was holding her husband’s arm. The posture was intimate.
The car was quickly driven away by the driver, and the three people stood beside the station. The woman was laughing and talking with Jing Huan while the man took Jing Huan’s shoulder and listened gently.
Jing Huan had a joyful smile across his face, standing there cutely, without a trace of unease or displeasure.
The three family members were joyous and harmonious, standing very close together, and obviously very intimate with each other.
