Chapter 82 - Did Jing Huan add your WeChat?

Edited by Divetus

Due to the limitations of being pregnant, they could only select to do three-star instances at most, which were low in difficulty, so they didn’t have to pay much attention to the fights. Besides letting Jing Huan finish off some instances, it also gave him a chance to think about other things.

For example, when did Xiang Huaizhi figure out he was Xiao Tianjing?

Jing Huan frowned. He knew that Xiang Huaizhi’s personality was relatively cold, but it couldn’t be to the point that he was completely indifferent to being cheated by a catfish.

What’s more, the person who tricked him was actually Jing Huan… The two of them were so close, and no matter how you looked at it, it would seem as though Jing Huan had been planning something.

Jing Huan propped up his chin and thought about it for a long time. As a result, he really did get reminded of something.

Some time ago, he had gone downstairs to buy medicine, and he had happened to run into Xiang Huaizhi that night.

Now that he thought about it, at the time, Xiang Huaizhi hadn’t been sweating at all, nor did he have any companions with him. It wasn’t like a night jog… it was actually like he was crouching there and waiting for him.

Jing Huan suddenly saw the light. Xiang Huaizhi must’ve been crouching there and waiting for him! Sure enough, he wanted to pummel him!

But, why hadn’t he done it in the end?

Because he had been sick?

Jing Huan let his imagination run wild for quite a while. After going around in circles to no avail, he could only finally reach one conclusion——

Xiang Huaizhi was really a good person.

They did instances into the afternoon, and by then, Jing Huan really couldn’t bear it anymore. He got up and took some medicine.

He didn’t have any fever-reducing meds at home, but he still had a lot of the cold medicine he bought last time.

He grudgingly choked it down, just in case it made him feel better ba.

His headache already made him uncomfortable, and after taking the medicine, he was even more sleepy. After they finished the low-level instances he hung around the team and didn’t leave.

“Xiao Jingjing,” Lu Hang said, “I’m very willing to take you to do high-level instances, but your husband doesn’t seem very happy.”

Jing Huan suddenly snapped out of it, left the team, and entered Xiang Huaizhi’s team.

“What did you go do?” Xiang Huaizhi asked.

[Team] Xiao Tianjing: Poured a glass of water.

Xiang Huaizhi replied, “Drink it hot.”

Jing Huan had just wanted to send a nodding emoticon when he suddenly thought of something.

[Team] Xiao Tianjing: ?

[Team] Xiao Tianjing: Why aren’t you going with them to do the high-level instance…

Xiang Huaizhi responded, “Not going, don’t lack experience.”

If Jing Huan was really a NCH noob, he would’ve believed him.

But in NCH, experience grinding was endless. Upgrades, skills and even affixing gems into equipment would consume a player’s own experience. No player in the entire game would dare to claim that he or she didn’t lack experience.

[Team] Xiao Tianjing: It’s fine, you don’t have to worry about me. I can play by myself for a while.

“If I don’t worry about you, who will?” Xiang Huaizhi asked, frowning.

[Team] Xiao Tianjing: …

Xiang Huaizhi glanced behind him and just happened to catch Lu Hang’s eye.

Lu Hang: “…”

Lu Hang asked, “What?”

Xiang Huaizhi said, “Put on headphones.”

Lu Hang: “?”

Xiang Huaizhi continued, “Don’t eavesdrop.”

Lu Hang cried out, “Fuck, am I that kind of person? I actually find you noisy!”

Although he really was eavesdropping, and even if it wasn’t fair, he was pissed.

Lu Hang really thought it was rare; Xiang Huaizhi usually didn’t even like to spare an extra glance to the people around him, but now, he was chatting with his online girlfriend every day…

And plus, if you looked at Xiao Tianjing, she was so unrestrained in front of them, so wouldn’t she be even more unrestrained in private!

Lu Hang sucked in a breath, and his gaze became more subtle.

Xiang Huaizhi narrowed his eyes at him. “What are you thinking?”

“Thinking about&#k2026;” Lu Hang obediently put on his headphones. “The instance is probably about to start. I’ll go to the guild YY so it’ll be easier to coordinate with them.”

Jing Huan drank his third cup of hot water. His whole body felt like it was soaking in hot water. His sore throat made him feel uncomfortable, and it was hard to breathe.

But, he didn’t want to rest at all.

Xiang Huaizhi led him to do some couple quests, and by the time they had reached the eighth level, there hadn’t been a single sound from the team.

Xiang Huaizhi asked, “Do you not want to do this?”

[Team] Xiao Tianjing: Want to.

The ninth level of the couple quest was the NPC’s sweetheart multiple choice questions, which tested the couples’ understanding of each other.

In general, players would use the voice channel to communicate here.

Xiang Huaizhi glanced at the question and asked, “What color do you like?”

The team channel was completely quiet.

By the time Jing Huan reacted, there were only four seconds left on the question.

He suddenly returned to his senses and instinctively opened his mic. Because he hadn’t made any sounds for a long time, his voice was hoarse enough to scare someone. “Ah, white…”

Time ran out, and they failed the challenge.

[Team] Xiao Tianjing: Ahhh I’m sorry, I was in a bit of a daze, let’s do it again ba.

Couple quest requirements weren’t strict; if you failed, you could always try the challenge again.

Xiang Huaizhi didn’t click the NPC again.

He asked, “Do you have a fever?”

[Team] Xiao Tianjing: En… but it’s just a little.

“How many degrees?” Xiang Huaizhi asked.

[Team] Xiao Tianjing: Low fever, 37.7 C.

“Take out a thermometer and show me the result,” Xiang Huaizhi said.

“…”

This move caught Jing Huan off guard..

In fact, he only took his temperature once today, and it had gone as high as 38.7 C.

Jing Huan picked up the thermometer and measured himself again. When he looked down at the value with sleepy eyes, he was still contemplating things in his mind.

37.7… 37.7…

With a tick, the thermometer showed the number.

38.9 C.

Jing Huan: “…”

Isn’t this too far from before?!

Xiang Huaizhi asked, “Did you take it?”

[Team] Xiao Tianjing: The thermometer seems to be broken. It suddenly can’t measure anything 0.0! Really!

On the side, Lu Hang was just in the middle of passionately completing the instance when his shoulder was suddenly patted.

He turned around and asked, “What now? I really didn’t eavesdrop this time!”

This meant that he had been eavesdropping earlier.

Xiang Huaizhi was too lazy to care about that. “Where’s the gift that you prepared for Jing Huan?”

“On the bed, the express delivery just arrived this morning…” Lu Hang was stunned. “Hey, why are you taking my gift!”

Xiang Huaizhi explained, “I’m helping take it over for you.”

?

Lu Hang was a bit confused. “Do you think I have no hands or no legs, why do you want to help take it over for me?”

Xiang Huaizhi put the gift in his pocket. “Do you have anything you want me to say to him from you?”

Lu Hang reflexively said, “Say a happy birthday ba…”

When Lu Hang finished the fight in the instance, Xiang Huaizhi had just put on his overcoat to go out.

He wondered, “What are you going to meet Jing Huan for?”

“Things.” Xiang Huaizhi closed his laptop.

“Alright, don’t blame your brother for not letting you know, but my present is way more awesome than your stupid little scarf. Don’t be too ashamed when you get there.” Lu Hang laughed, “Oh right, did Jing Huan add your WeChat?”

Xiang Huaizhi was just about to open the bedroom door, but hearing this, he stopped. “What WeChat?”

“WeChat account ah,” Lu Hang laughed and said, “He asked me for your WeChat last night… Although, didn’t you abandon your side account a long time ago? Why are you using it again?”

Xiang Huaizhi looked at him with fathomless eyes but didn’t speak.

Lu Hang’s hair was standing on end from his stare, and his smile gradually froze. “Wha-what’s going on?”

“You gave him my WeChat?” Xiang Huaizhi asked.

“Yeah… I couldn’t give it? ” Lu Hang was confused.

Xiang Huaizhi stood in place. “What did he say then?”

“Didn’t say anything,” Lu Hang replied. “Originally, we wanted to add each other’s WeChat, but he ended up breaking his cellphone, and we didn’t end up adding anything.”

Xiang Huaizhi was silent for several seconds and then nodded. “Understood.”

Lu Hang could hear that his tone was abnormal. Just when he wanted to ask another question, he heard a “bang”. His roommate had closed the door and left without turning back.

It was drizzling outside. Xiang Huaizhi casually buttoned his coat, put on his hat, and walked to the front gate while looking at his cellphone through half-lidded eyes.

No wonder his little friend had behaved so strangely last night. After coming back from the toilet, he didn’t even dare look at him. And his face had been completely red.

His cellphone softly rang. Xiang Huaizhi had just quickly thrown out a sentence about having stuff to do before leaving. The person on the opposite side had only now slowly replied to him.

Xiao Jing ya: Okay, then I’m going to do some dailies.

Xiang: Go lie down.

Xiao Jing ya: I’ll fall asleep if I lie down…

Jing Huan reclined in his computer chair with his head spinning, and his long legs were dangling completely ungracefully at the edge of the bed.

He had asked for leave today, so it actually didn’t matter if he fell asleep.

But when he woke up, he would have to be beaten by Xiang Huaizhi.

At the thought of this, he felt that he should cherish his sick time.

His cell phone vibrated, and he lowered his head slowly.

Seeing that the message wasn’t sent by Xiang Huaizhi, he didn’t even bother opening it, but the people in the group chat didn’t want to let him go and continued to @him.

Lu Wenhao: How’s your cold? Do you need your roommate to deliver warmth? It’s way too cold. Xiang’er and I are going to have some hot pot, so it’s just perfect. We’ll just commandeer your kitchen [shy].

Lu Wenhao: @Xiao Jing ya Where are you? Hey, is our dormitory unlucky today ah? I just fell down the stairs and nearly died.

Gao Zixiang: He didn’t die, it’s just that the students in front of him thought there was an earthquake and ran away fucking fast.

Lu Wenhao: &%# you! @#……！

Lu Wenhao spat out a hundred fragrant words, and then @him again, asking him what kind of hot pot base he wanted.

Jing Huan had no energy to type and pressed the voice key. “Have you gone crazy ba, your daddy is this sick, and you still want to pump me full of hot pot, do you want me to die early?”

Lu Wenhao quickly returned a voice message. “Holy shit, your voice, if I didn’t know better, it sounds as though you’ve been screaming all night.”

Two seconds later, he heard Gao Zixiang chuckle.

Jing Huan simply said, “Scram.”

Lu Wenhao said, “I thought you were pretending to be sick and skipped class, but you’re really sick? How about I bring you some medicine on the way? I’m in the infirmary right now.”

Jing Huan said in a hoarse voice, “Don’t come, you’re too noisy. Where did you fall?”

Lu Wenhao immediately sent him a picture, followed by several crying emoticons.

Jing Huan glanced at it casually and was suddenly speechless.

Then, he sneered and said, “Of course you have to immediately see the doctor, otherwise it would’ve already healed.”

Lu Wenhao angrily sent over enough emoticons to cover the entire screen.

Jing Huan didn’t talk to him anymore. Seeing that Xiang Huaizhi hadn’t replied, he opened up an app to call for medicine to be delivered. Then, he threw his cellphone on the bed and directed his game character to run to a certain wild map.

He had already decided that he shouldn’t only apologize but also compensate Xiang Huaizhi for his loss.

If he directly tried to pay him, Xiang Huaizhi might not take it, so he planned on creating a good belt for him. He had seen it the other day when he had logged in, Xiang Huaizhi’s equipment was all comprised of the best; the only thing with some room for improvement was the belt.

And in this wild map, the monsters had a chance to drop the materials needed to forge the belt upon kill.

But, he soon found a problem.

The monsters in this wild map, he basically… couldn’t grab them.

In his old server, Jing Huan was called the little overlord of wild maps, and his speed at grabbing monsters was unparalleled. But today, the little overlord was a bit dizzy, and his reaction time was a few seconds slower than others. He hadn’t managed to grab a single wild monster.

He cursed under his breath and had just wanted to go to another place when a message popped up in the game interface.

[Qiufeng has invited you to join his team. Yes, No. ]

[Friend] Qiufeng: Our team is farming too and we just happened to be missing one person. Come on, let’s do it together.

Jing Huan hesitated a bit before clicking agree.

In any case, this was better than just him aimlessly and randomly pressing buttons alone.

He pulled out his summoned beast, and as soon as he was just about to AFK, he heard the doorbell ring.

[Team] Xiao Tianjing: I’m going to afk and go get takeout, brb.

He got up and walked to the door. He was too lazy to look through the peephole, so he just opened the door.

“…”

Outside of the door, Xiang Huaizhi was standing ramrod straight with a hat covering most of his hair, but the several rain-soaked strands of hair on his forehead were now slightly sticking up.

The boy’s eyes were dark, and he looked at Jing Huan directly.

For a moment, Jing Huan thought he was hallucinating.

“Lu Hang asked me to bring you a present.” Xiang Huaizhi said.

Jing Huan subconsciously looked down and saw that he was holding a small gift box and a plastic bag.

There were some medicine boxes in it.

“You don’t look very well.”

Jing Huan had just opened his mouth to say something when the boy in front of him suddenly raised his unoccupied hand, lifted his hair, and put the back of his hand against his forehead.

It was cold and kind of wet.

“Have a fever?” He heard Xiang Huaizhi ask.
