Chapter 73
"Ah? Why do you suddenly ask this question?" He Lijie was confused.
Why does this person want my contact information?
Aren't he and Ruiyi close friends? If you want Ruiyi's contact information, you can ask Ruiyi directly.
Based on his understanding of good brothers, Ruiyi should not refuse the other party's request.
"I...can't contact him, he deleted me." Yuan Xingyou's tone was full of regret.
"What?!" He Lijie suddenly woke up. This was even rarer than the sun rising from the west.
Qiao Ruiyi has always had a good temper, how could he do something like deleting a friend?
What exactly happened between the two people?
He Lijie also asked the same question.
Yuan Xingyou's voice suddenly dropped, "It's just... I concealed the fact that I was a host, and he found out, so he deleted me."
He Lijie's eyes widened: "Wait, you are the anchor?"
This is too sudden. Could their conversation now be captured on camera?
"Yeah." Yuan Xingyou smiled bitterly, "Rui Yi... hates being put in a position of distrust by someone he values."
He knew Joe hated this, but he couldn't bring himself to tell the truth.
He Lijie suddenly understood. As a good brother of Qiao Ruiyi, he knew his brother too well - what Qiao Ruiyi could not tolerate the most was distrust, especially distrust from people he cared about.
"So now you want to..."
"I want to apologize to him in person and make everything clear." Yuan Xingyou's voice became firm. He was determined to save this relationship.
"Lijie, please, please tell me how to contact him."
"this……"
He Lijie hesitated. On one side was the principle of good brothers, and on the other side was the other party's sincere request. Moreover, the relationship between these two people seemed different from that of ordinary netizens.
He scratched his head, hesitated for a few minutes, and finally said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Yaoxing, I can't give you Ruiyi's contact information."
He respected Qiao Ruiyi's decision and did not want to go against his opinion.
If these two people ordered him to do something at the same time, he would definitely obey Qiao Ruiyi's opinion without a doubt, because the feelings accumulated over time are far better than those with strangers who have only met for a few short times.
"I just want to get in touch with the other party, and I promise not to hide anything from him anymore..." Yuan Xingyou's voice was about to break.
If even He Lijie was unwilling to help him, he didn't know who else could help him find Qiao Ruiyi.
"Brother, I know you are eager to find Ruiyi and explain everything to him, but I am in a difficult situation. If Ruiyi doesn't want to see you, I can't do anything no matter how hard I try."
He Lijie was also in a difficult situation.
When the conversation between the two reached a stalemate, the third person in the game room spoke up.
"Li Jie, I don't think he is a bad person. Maybe the two of them just had a temporary conflict?" Xu Helian pleaded for Yuan Xingyou.
When He Lijie heard Xu Helian's voice, his expression was obviously shaken. He scratched his hair hesitantly: "But Ruiyi..."
Xu Helian suggested, "How about this, you can help him pass on the message, but it's up to Ruiyi to decide whether he is willing to give him his contact information."
He Lijie's girlfriend's plea was much more useful than any long speech.
"How about this, I can help you pass on a message." He Lijie changed his words.
Yuan Xingyou's voice immediately brightened up: "Really? Thank you so much!"
Unexpectedly, Xu Helian's online love could actually help him.
"But don't be too happy yet." He Lijie sighed, "Rui Yi may not agree."
There was cautious anticipation in Won Seongwoo's voice, "I know, but at least it's a start."
He Lijie quit the game, took a deep breath to build up his courage before calling Qiao Ruiyi.
The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up. Qiao Ruiyi's obviously muffled voice came from the receiver: "Hello?"
"Old Joe, um..." He Lijie chose his words carefully, fearing that he would upset the other party.
"Yao Xing came to me and said he wanted to explain something to you and hoped you would agree for him to contact you."
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the line. He Lijie could hear Qiao Ruiyi's gentle breathing, as if he was trying to control his emotions.
Just when He Lijie thought he would be rejected coldly, he unexpectedly heard the other party's intention to give in.
"How does he want to explain it?"
He Lijie's eyes lit up instantly, it sounded like there might be hope!
He quickly added: "Yao Xing didn't tell me in detail, how about I give him your contact information, and you two can have a good conversation on the phone?"
There was silence again on the other end of the line.
Qiao Ruiyi is currently experiencing a struggle between a human and a god. His mind tells him: since he has already blocked this person, why should he bother to listen to his explanation; but his heart is clamoring to hear the other person's voice again, maybe everything can be turned back to the beginning.
Qiao Ruiyi: "...Give him my contact information."
He closed his eyes and finally listened to the voice in his heart.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell Yaoxing the good news right now." He Lijie hung up the phone excitedly.
Qiao Ruiyi took the phone in front of him. He looked at the time displayed on the screen and silently calculated that the other party would call him in a few minutes.
Suddenly, "Ring, ring, ring——"
An unfamiliar phone number lit up on the screen.
Qiao Ruiyi answered the call immediately, "Hello?"
The other end of the phone was unusually quiet, and there was no response for a long time. It was so quiet that Qiao Ruiyi almost thought it was a harassing call from someone else.
"I finally contacted you..." Yuan Xingyou's voice was obviously filled with tears.
He cried uncontrollably after hearing Qiao Ruiyi's voice.
He really -- missed the other person too much.
"What's wrong with you?" Qiao Ruiyi was suddenly at a loss what to do in the face of this situation.
Yuan Xingyou is crying?
This famous anchor with many fans, the proud and unrestrained jungle god, actually cried in front of him?
Yuan Xingyou clenched his phone tightly, tears falling uncontrollably. "You said I was fake, but you're even crueler than me! You deleted me, quit the team, and didn't change your name, so I kept finding you through search engines. I couldn't add you as a friend even though you were so close to me. You want to drive me crazy, right? ! ! Do you know how desperate I am?"
Yuan Xingyou's shoulders slumped, and he couldn't stop feeling sad and upset.
"Wu... I was wrong, I was wrong. I didn't use you, and I never thought of using you. That's not what I meant. I just wanted to protect you. In fact, I have always wanted to find a chance to tell you about this, but I don't know how to start. No matter how you want me to compensate you, it's fine, just... don't delete me again."
"I never thought that the fate between us was so shallow. You can leave my world without leaving a trace if you want to. If your friend hadn't told me your contact information, I would have lost the opportunity to reconnect with you."
Qiao Ruiyi felt heartbroken when he heard Yuan Xingyou's heartfelt words. He didn't expect that his departure would have such a huge impact on the other party. The other party seemed...
There was one thing he had to confirm:
"Why are you so nervous? We are just online friends, and deep down we are just good friends. There is no need for you to cry over this."
Qiao Ruiyi tightly gripped the phone, his heart beginning to pound nervously, because the other party's answer would determine the subsequent development of their relationship.
"I don't know. I just feel a pain in my heart when I think about not being able to see you, hear your voice, or play with you anymore. Maybe... I really like you."
Qiao Ruiyi felt his heart skip a beat and his phone almost slipped from his palm.
Yuan Xingyou's confession on the other end of the phone continued:
"I like to see you operate seriously, I like to hear you calling my name, I like the tacit understanding we have when we fight side by side..."
Yuan Xingyou's voice was thick with nasal sounds, "I thought this was just caring for a good friend, until you disappeared from my life..."
He didn't dare to say that he fell in love for the first time after watching the CP-related editing video.
Qiao Ruiyi could hear slight sobbing on the other end of the phone, and his fingertips tightened unconsciously.
Yuan Xingyou smiled bitterly, "That day when I couldn't find you anymore, I realized that you had already become an indispensable part of my life."
Qiao Ruiyi looked at the sky outside the window and felt that his defenses were collapsing bit by bit.
"Sharp."
Yuan Xingyou called his name softly, "Give me a chance to start over, okay? This time I promise not to hide anything. I swear to tell you everything as soon as possible, including the comments in the live broadcast room, the comments from fans, and even what I eat for breakfast every day..."
Hearing the childish assurance, Qiao Ruiyi couldn't help but chuckle.
Yuan Xingyou's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone: "You smiled? Does it mean that you have forgiven me?"
"You wish."
Qiao Ruiyi deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Unless..."
"Unless what?"
Yuan Xingyou asked nervously.
"Unless you help me duo-queue tomorrow, I want to play Mulan."
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then Yuan Xingyou's excited voice came: "Okay! I will be yours all day tomorrow! No, I will be yours every day from now on!"
Qiao Ruiyi's ears turned red quietly, and he said with a chuckle: "Idiot."
Yuan Xingyou protested, "You can't call me idiot! You should call me..."
"Boyfriend." Qiao added sharply.
Yuan Xingyou’s face quickly turned red, and even the hand holding the phone was shaking slightly. This must be a dream, right?
"Um……"
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Ruiyi looked at the newly added contacts on the phone screen, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
On the other side, Yuan Xingyou was busy marking this number as "boyfriend".
That night, Yuan Xingyou’s live broadcast room opened on time.
Fans were surprised to find that the long-lost ID appeared again in the host’s team room.
【Live Room】
[Skin-friendly and non-irritating] Wow, it’s the great Mulan!
[Not in my aesthetic taste] It’s the familiar duo, the familiar ID, the familiar taste is back!
[6-20] I haven’t seen Dark Moon for several days. What happened between you and the host? Did you have a conflict?
[Death is the most graceful] A few days ago, Yaoxing didn't allow us to post comments related to Dark Moon. He would be unhappy if we did. Can we post comments now if we want?
"Well, you can post any comments related to him now," the host in front of the camera interacted with the comments with an unconcealable smile.
[45+-552] Is it my illusion? I always feel that today's host seems a little too gentle?
"Shall we start the game?" The other person in the team said the first words of the night.
"Open." Yuan Xingyou responded with a smile, and his eyes instantly turned into crescent shapes.
After the game started, the interaction between the two further confirmed the speculation in the barrage.
"The blue buff is for you."
"You take this head."
"How dare he challenge you?"
"I helped you get revenge!"
Question marks appeared in the comments:
[eGo forward] Is this still the Yaoxing I know who cherishes buffs like his life?
[Don’t want to go to work anymore] Did the Dark Moon Master cast a curse on the anchor?
【type】Yesterday I was still worried about whether I could see the great Mulan again, but today I got a big surprise!
[The Lonely Green Frog] Such a doting tone... am I really believing it?
Yuan Xingyou looked at the figure of Hua Mulan killing people on the phone screen and said softly, "Welcome back to me."
Qiao Ruiyi chuckled in the voice channel: "Well, I'm back."
Their IDs finally became couple IDs in a legitimate sense, and they look pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at them.
After the affectionate young couple played a ranked game, Qiao Ruiyi's account successfully advanced to 100 stars.
“The next goal should be 150 stars, right?” Yuan Xingyou was looking forward to using his main account to gain points together with the other party.
"Um."
Qiao Ruiyi opened the ranking interface and took a screenshot of his current rank. This was his first 100-star rank—he had achieved it together with his boyfriend, so it was very memorable.
"Then let's continue..." Yuan Xingyou said as he was about to start the game again.
Suddenly, his other cell phone rang with a rapid wx ringtone.
Yuan Xingyou said "wait a moment" in the voice channel, and then started chatting with the person on the other end of the phone.
"City competition... two teams... team competition in two days... still need people... executive officer can... still need to find people in the team..."
Qiao Ruiyi could vaguely hear the trivial words in their conversation, but he didn't know what they meant exactly.
"I'm back." Yuan Xingyou's voice sounded again in the voice channel.
"Um."
His boyfriend who was waiting patiently was just like a Labrador dog squatting in place.
Yuan Xingyou was amused by his own association, and his voice was also full of laughter when he spoke, "I have a favor to ask you for. I can give you a skin as a gift."
"Even if you don't give me the skin, I will still help you." Qiao Ruiyi said.
Yuan Xingyou was so moved by these words that he pursed his lips. Is this the benefit of having a boyfriend?
marvelous! !
Qiao Ruiyi asked, "What do you need me to do?"
