Chapter 52 - Baby

Edited by Divetus

Seeing that he wasnt talking, Xiang Huaizhi thought that he might have misunderstood him.

I dont mean that you cant like other people.

Jing Huan cursed out Yearning For 1000 times in his heart and then typed.

[Team] Xiao Tianjing: How can I like other people besides Gege

ah

T.T

If he turned on his microphone, he was afraid he was going to explode at him.

Xiang Huaizhi believed that he had expressed himself clearly.

He nodded. For now, when Im not on, you try not to leave the safe zone.

With Wheats Number One Fans temper, it was obvious that he wasnt a lord who could swallow down his anger and keep quiet after being killed. Who knows what trouble he might try to cause.

[Team] Xiao Tianjing: Its okay, Im not afraid of him at all. >.<

Jing Huan really wasnt afraid. Wheats Number One Fans equipment was really good, but his technique was terrible, a standard

RMB player

.

He believed that the reason why NCH had lasted so long was that poor players with good technique could still fight and win against RMB players.

Of course, having no money at all still wouldnt work.

"You really arent afraid," Xiang Huaizhi said, looking at the little fox fairy beside him. "When did you buy all your equipment on you?"

The little fox fairy no longer had only one s.h.i.+ning ring.

She carried a purple whip in her hand, the gourd on her waist shone with a white light, and even her belt was purple.

Jing Huan was stunned and then remembered that he had bought everything on him in a fit of anger.

[Team] Xiao Tianjing: I

[Team] Xiao Tianjing: I was too angry back then! QAQ

"Where did the money come from?"

[Team] Xiao Tianjing: Living expenses

ah

Living expenses were enough to buy all this?

No?

What kind of strange conversation was this?

Jing Huan felt like his accounts were being checked over by his wife.

[Team] Xiao Tianjing: Yes, its overdrawn

la

! This month, I can only eat baozi!

Xiang Huaizhi choked.

He didnt expect that there were really people who didnt even eat for the sake of games.

Why are you only typing and not speaking? Xiang Huaizhi picked up his cellphone. Ill lend you a little. How much do you need?

Jing Huan was stunned. Ah? No need, no need! I have money on my meal card, and Im already trying to lose weight

Youre not fat, you dont need to lose weight.

There was a silence over the headphones.

Jing Huan asked, How do you know Im not fat?

Xiang Huaizhi was silent for two seconds before saying in a natural tone, Guessed.

Flattery!

You really dont have to

la

, Gege. The meat buns in our school are really delicious. They have thin skin and a lot of meat, and theyre only five yuan each! Jing Huan paused. Besides, were not in that kind of relations.h.i.+p. How can I spend Geges money? Gege, if you really cherish me, its better to realize my other dream. Lets go to Old Moon Temple

I see. Xiang Huaizhi put down his cellphone, Then you can eat at the cafeteria.

Jing Huan wanted to make a few comments when his friend alerts suddenly lit up.

[Unknown Realm Shopkeeper: Congratulations, young hero! Qiufeng has gifted you a set of Lantern elf clothes. Please go to Unknown Realm (118, 29) to collect your new clothes! ]

Jing Huan was stunned and reflexively sent a ? to Qiufeng.

[Friend] Qiufeng: Comforting gift. [pats head]

Jing Huan didnt reply to him, but turned on his microphone and asked, Gege, can we make a trip to the Unknown Realms?

Why.

Qiufeng has sent me some new apparel. I want to return it.

The NCH gifting system had a perverse rule. If the gift was left for more than half an hour with the Unknown Realm shopkeeper, a handling fee would be charged, which was called a safekeeping fee.

Although the amount was small, Jing Huan was not willing to spend the money.

Yearning For didnt say anything else and took him away from the Valley of Falling Flowers.

When they arrived by the Unknown Realm shopkeeper, Jing Huan left the team and quickly returned the apparel.

[Friend] Qiufeng: Its only a set of clothes, but you still wont accept it

ah

.

[Friend] Xiao Tianjing: Understand your gesture

la

, no need to spend any money. 0.0

Just a few seconds after sending that out, his friend icon lit up again. Jing Huan thought it was Qiufengs reply. He clicked to have a look, but it was the pink message box that the system had.

[Unknown Realm Shopkeeper: Congratulations, young hero! Yearning For has gifted you a set of Lantern elf clothes. Please go to Unknown Realm (118, 29) to collect your new clothes! ]

???

Are these two gifting addicts?

[Friend] Yearning For: Keep it.

[Friend] Xiao Tianjing: I cant always accept things from you that are so expensive

[Friend] Yearning For: ?

[Friend] Yearning For: If you return it to me, Ill just give it to Long Road Ahead.

[Friend] Xiao Tianjing: Thank you, Gege. Gege, do you think I look good wearing this?

Jing Huan changed his clothes.

He originally hadnt wanted to defraud Yearning For of this 1200 yuan, but this slag man had to keep bringing it up, so no one could blame him for just taking it.

[Friend] Yearning For: En. Have you done your dailies today?

[Friend] Xiao Tianjing: If you hadnt said it, I wouldve completely forgotten. QAQ

[Friend] Yearning For: Join the team, Ill take you to do it.

Jing Huan was so happy to be so leisurely, and he sped into his team.

After half an hours work, Jing Huan opened the take-out menu and was planning what to do next when his little

sister

managed to find him.

[Friend] Love is For You to Eat: Stupid Jingjing [angry]! Whats the matter

ah

? Why did you even quit the guild? And you dont even reply to me on WeChat!

Jing Huan was stunned. He opened WeChat and glanced at it. He really had received a lot of news.

[Friend] Xiao Tianjing: My WeChat is blowing up, I couldnt send anything QAQ! I was afraid of involving the guild in my fight with Wheats Number One Fan, so I quit.

[Friend] Love is For You to Eat: No, Wheats Number One Fan already had some conflict with our guild anyway.

[Friend] Xiao Tianjing: 0.0 Oooh what conflict?

[Friend] Love is For You to Eat: Can we use WeChat call? Im eating, and its hard to type.

[Friend] Xiao Tianjing: Okay.

Jing Huan turned off the game microphone and set up a WeChat call with Love is For You to Eat.

He had previously killed a didi of Idle Pavilion and drove them away from the game, and also quarreled with Chunxiao. Anyway, it was very unpleasant. But you werent playing when all that happened, so its normal that you dont know. And many people in the guild dont like him. Love is For You to Eat said, In the afternoon, everyone was discussing how to help you vent.

Jing Huan was stupefied. Help me vent?

Love is For You to Eat responded, Yeah, Guild Officer Qiufeng even privately went down to find Wheats Number One Fan, and even G.o.d Xiang got involved.

Jing Huan kind of regretted that he had left the guild so quickly. Ah What did Gege say?

Ill take a screenshot and send it to you via WeChat.

Jing Huan immediately held up his cellphone and looked at the picture.

[Dont Ask when Ill Return: No way, did she really quit? No need

ah

Youth Chasing the Wind: Really theres no need, its not like were afraid of trouble.

Peachy Fate: Then is Xiao Tianjing going to return to the guild?

Chunxiao: Im on holiday with Regardless of Lovesickness. Wait until we come back tomorrow to deal with this.

Qiufeng: This Wheats Number One Fan, last time we already gave him a pa.s.s, yet this time he actually messed with one of our guild members. Dont worry, Ill definitely go talk to him for Xiao Tianjing.

Dont Ask when Ill Return: Good, Guild Officer is mighty!

Yearning For: @Qiufeng, shes my teammate, Ill deal with it by myself, no need for you to bother. ]

Jing Huan repeatedly read what Yearning For had said. After a while, he asked, What else did Gege say?

Thats it, just that sentence, Love is For You to Eat clicked her tongue, G.o.d Xiang is really cool when he talks now, its totally different from before.

Before?

Yeah, when Immortal Mengmeng was with him Love is For You to Eat halted in the middle of her sentence.

Jing Huan only then remembered that Love is For You to Eat and Immortal Mengmeng used to be good friends.

He unconsciously straightened his back and asked curiously, What was it like when Gege and Immortal Mengmeng were together?

Love is For You to Eat hemmed and hawed. You know, like that.

Tell meee. Jing Huan said, I promise not to talk about it!

Like ordinary people dating, it wasnt a big deal. Love is For You to Eat thought about it. Its just, ten hours straight per day on the microphone

ba

.

?

Is there that much to talk about?

Jing Huan let out some chuckling sounds without any feelings. How do you even know about this?

Mengmeng often liked to show off their affection, so a lot of people all know about it, Love is For You to Eat said, Their WeChat profile picture was a couple photo. Yearning For seemed to always be sending her photos to his friend group. She even sent me a screenshot of the friend group But G.o.d Xiang seems to have changed his WeChat profile picture now?

Jing Huan thought of his own rejected friend request, and his smile grew even stiffer.

Yearning Fors friend group was also completely clean, and it was obvious that it had been completely cleared out when they had broken up.

Couple photo profile picture He murmured.

Thinking of all the

dog food

she had been forced to eat before, Love is For You to Eat couldnt stop talking, Yeah, G.o.d Xiang even used to call Immortal Mengmeng baby, wifeYou really cant tell now, can you?

Jing Huan:

What did Yearning For usually call him?

He couldnt think of anything but Xiao Tianjing.

No way Yearning For actually spent a whole ten hours on the microphone, changed his profile picture to a couple photo, and could actually call someone baby?

Jing Huan couldnt connect any of this behavior to the person currently leading him around right now.

And plus, based on what?

Based on what would you change your profile picture and friend group for someone else, but when it came to him, you couldnt even say a few soft words?!

Jing Huan suddenly felt unhappy.

Very unhappy.

The kind of unhappiness where you dont even want to eat dinner.

Love is For You to Eat only now figured out that she may have said too much. But G.o.d Xiang is very good to you. You see, he even helped you kill people.

Did he help Immortal Mengmeng kill people before?

Hearing the other sides listless tone, Love is For You to Eat immediately answered, No! When they were together, they didnt even play together in the arena very often.

Not fighting in the arena? Jing Huan wondered, Then, what did they usually do?

Just, did some instances, go look at some scenery, take some photos

ah

Love is For You to Eat coughed, That sort of thing.

d.a.m.n it! This man actually could do all of that! Why act so lofty and cold in front of him day after day?!

After hanging up the call, Jing Huan sat in his chair and didnt even want to order take-out.

The more Jing Huan thought about it, the angrier he grew!

Yearning For really treated people way too differently!

[Team] Yearning For: Are you there.

[Team] Xiao Tianjing: Im here.

[Team] Yearning For: How come you turned off your microphone.

Because daddy doesnt want to talk to you, you two-faced dog.

[Team] Xiao Tianjing: No, I was just calling Love is For You to Eat.

Xiang Huaizhi paused while taking a drink of water.

[Team] Yearning For: You two have a good relations.h.i.+p?

[Team] Xiao Tianjing: Of course

la

, were teammates after all.

[Team] Yearning For: .

This was different from Qiufeng, Love is For You to Eat was a girl. If the person Jing Huan liked switched to herIt was pretty good too.

Xiang Huaizhi considered it expressionlessly.

After dailies were done, the two of them stood beside the NPC in the main city, and no one spoke.

For a long time, Xiang Huaizhi came out of his thoughts and was just about to type.

Gege. His teammate called out to him pitifully.

En?

You promised me that anything that happens in the game, I could come and find you, Jing Huan said, Right?

En.

Then, can you accompany me to take some pictures?

Xiang Huaizhi was a little startled. Pictures?

En, Jing Huan said unabashedly, Pictures with us in a kissing position!

Xiang Huaizhi:

Xiang Huaizhi asked, What do you want to do with those?

Jing Huan also didnt know what he would do with them.

But he still wanted to take them.

I just want to take them. Jing Huan said, Is that okay, Gege.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the Moon Palace in front of a full moon.

[Xiao Tianjing wants to kiss you. Yes, No. ]

Xiang Huaizhis mouse drifted repeated between the two options, hesitant.

At last, he clicked Yes.

The little fox fairy leaned her head forward, fox tail swaying to and fro, and gently kissed the corner of his mouth.

Flowers bloomed in front of them, and the moon hung behind them, creating a beautiful scene; there were even a few jade rabbits randomly gamboling around at their feet.

He stared at the picture for a few seconds and unconsciously pressed the screen capture key.

Gege. In his earphones, the female voice called out to him discontentedly, Can you call mewell baby?

At the end of this sentence, his voice grew smaller and smaller.

Xiang Huaizhi choked. It seemed like something was blocking up his throat, and after awhile he managed to squeeze out a question. What?

Just call me that in game! Jing Huan forcefully pretended to be straightforward, This, this also counts as something that happens in game

Xiang Huaizhi replied, Not possible.

Why not Jing Huan was not convinced, Geges words dont mean a thing!

Xiang Huaizhi chuckled. Who would put forward this kind of request?

I would! Jing Huan said, Call me that Gege, its not like youll lose a pound of flesh from it.

No way.

Once! Just once! Jing Huan said, Just once would be good!

Jing Huan turned on a recording device and tried to figure out what to say to make Yearning For agree.

He planned to record him saying baby and then send it to Yearning Fors inbox every day after revealing the truth!

Seeing Yearning Fors silence, Jing Huan whispered, Gege, I

Baby.

This sound suddenly fell into his ear, and Jing Huan was stunned.

The boy spoke very fast, but very clearly. His voice was low and hoa.r.s.e, which was already pleasant to listen to, but then his tone was both helpless and indulgent No one couldnt be moved after hearing it.

Jing Huan even was trapped in an illusion for a few secondsas if they were really dating online, he really liked Yearning For, and he was really pursuing him.

It took a long time for Jing Huan to recover from hearing the word baby.

His cheeks were slightly hot, and his throat was dry. He grabbed a gla.s.s of water and took a swig.

Dont tell me, this slag manactually had a few skills.

After digesting this for a long time, Jing Huan suddenly came back to his senseshe didnt, turn, on, the, recording, device!!

Gege, I I didnt hear it just now. Jing Huan said quickly, Say it again.

Xiang Huaizhi retorted, If you didnt hear me, how do you know I already said it?

Now

youre

suddenly very clever

ah

.

Jing Huan cried, Wuwuwu do it again, one last time!

No way. The other side refused.

Gege

Dont be coy Its no use. Xiang Huaizhi said hoa.r.s.ely, Im going to go afk, theres someone trying to find me on WeChat.

After saying this, Xiang Huaizhi stood up and poured himself a cup of water.

Just having filled his cup, the bedroom door suddenly opened.

Im so tired. I shouldnt have chosen cla.s.ses with you, every five days Im worked like a dog. Lu Hang walked in with a face full of fatigue. You even left early today. Do you know how bored I was sitting alone? When you left, it was like a gust of wind, I thought your account had gotten stolen again

Lu Hang was full of words but stopped after seeing his roommates face.

You Lu Hang frowned and leaned forward. Why is your face so red?

Xiang Huaizhi pushed past his face and expressionlessly spat out. Hot.

Juurensha

: Awwww theyre both so embarra.s.sed over XHZ calling him baby! Also Huanhuanyou dont realize your jealousy at all, huh?
