Chapter 202 I Don’t Want to Get Involved
There is a reason why Ye Ting thinks he is rich.
Over the past two years of their online romance, Qin Jixiu had frequently found various excuses to send Ye Ting daily necessities, including food, clothing, and other essentials. He even meticulously selected and gifted Ye Ting several high-end, six-figure gifts during festivals. During Ye Ting's year abroad, Qin Jixiu felt sorry for him and felt bad for his lack of food, so transferring money to him for living expenses was a common occurrence. Ye Ting had also mailed Qin Jixiu two boxes of Ferrero Rocher for Chinese Valentine's Day the year before last and last year, as a token of his affection.
Qin Jixiu gave Ye Ting the address of one of his houses. That house was in a good location, in the heart of Jiangcheng, where land was very expensive, and it was not something that ordinary people could afford.
Qin Jixiu was already accustomed to this, so he moved his fingers and started typing.
[Would it be more convenient to transfer the money to a card? Please send me the card number.]
Ye Ting sent a string of numbers, followed by the bank where the account was opened, and finally a strange name - "Yang Qiao."
Qin Jixiu couldn't help but frown, somewhat questioning: [Who is Yang Qiao?]
Ye Ting replied: [My mother.]
Qin Jixiu was worried that something had happened at Ye Ting's home, so he couldn't help but feel nervous and worried, so he quickly called. Ye Ting immediately rejected the call and sent a question mark expressing "inexplicable".
Qin Jixiu pondered for a moment, and considered his words as he walked towards the bathroom.
[Baby, have you encountered any difficulties recently? Don't be afraid, you can tell me, I can help.]
Next, Ye Ting's words were more direct than expected: "I just found a job and need a lot of money. Don't worry about it, just send the money first. Send the money, send the money."
Qin Jixiu thought it made sense, so he transferred the money without hesitation. He was always soft-hearted, and when he recalled his sudden surge in popularity today, his confidence in his handsome face soared. No man in the world thinks he's ugly; any man with even a hint of good looks knows it.
When Qin Jixiu clicked on the photo that netizens considered "daddy-level" and wanted to share it with Ye Ting, he hesitated.
What if... Ye Ting thinks he is old?
Qin Jixiu walked over to the mirror and, after changing into his home clothes, examined himself with almost demanding standards. His stubble was clean, his eyes were clean, and his face was fair and shiny. He raised his hand to push his bangs down, then blew upwards. Satisfied with the look, he stood in a well-lit area of his home and asked, "Baby, let's have a video call."
[Busy.]
Ye Ting's concise reply was indistinguishable from his emotions, so Qin Jixiu could only guess: [Working overtime?]
Ye Ting didn't reply immediately. Qin Jixiu waited, but soon lost his patience. He went to the game room, turned on the computer, and logged into the online game where they had met and fallen in love, the 3D martial arts MMORPG that Qin Jixiu had often played since the accident - Jian Wang 3.
Ye Ting's account showed as offline, and it was unknown when his signature was changed - "Maybe the road ahead is long, maybe the firewood and rice are just smoke from the cooking stove." When Qin Jixiu couldn't understand what his lover was thinking, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
The last time he had this feeling was when he and Ye Ting were talking on the phone one evening. After a long time, the two of them were silent and started doing their own things. Qin Jixiu was bored for a moment, so he casually checked his phone and saw that Ye Ting had "just" posted a status: "During the Tianbao period, it was all a dream."
While talking to his lover on the phone, he expressed such emotion. Qin Jixiu could only think of one word at that time - sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams.
At this moment, Qin Jixiu adjusted to the feeling of his heart and slowly exhaled. He still wanted to know what Ye Ting was doing at the moment.
Before, they liked to hang out in the small room of the guild YY to play in the arena. He sneaked into the guild YY, but Ye Ting was nowhere to be found. He then looked closely at the friend list and saw that the familiar avatar of Jian Chun wearing a lotus leaf hat was lit. Without thinking much, Qin Jixiu immediately clicked on Ye Ting's channel.
Qin Jixiu discovered that Ye Ting was in a small room called "Cooking Wine | Love to Eat Qiao Lezi". The room was locked and he was stopped outside, but he could see that in addition to Ye Ting, there was also a person in a yellow vest inside. Her name was "Qiao Lezi". Judging from the YY gender, she was female, but her actual gender was unknown.
Qin Jixiu didn't want to let it go, so he privately chatted with Ye Ting on YY: [What are you doing?]
Ye Ting responded quickly: [JJC, are you coming?]
[What configuration?]
This time the news came a little slowly.
[…I forgot, you don't have an account on this server. I'll ask the boss if he'd mind farming 33 coins. I'll find someone to lend you a Tian Ce. However, this boss's skills in playing a healer are average, so be prepared.]
Qin Jixiu said it was okay.
Soon, "Qiao Lezi" dragged him down from the upper channel. The channel was unusually quiet, with only the occasional sound of keyboard tapping. Qin Jixiu then muted his microphone and silently logged into the Tiance account Ye Ting had given him.
He casually glanced at the battle record and saw that his win rate was only a little over 30%. Qin Jixiu changed the key position according to his own habits.
After a while, Ye Ting seemed to have calculated the time and said at the right time: "I'm in line."
Ye Ting's boss played a milk flower, and his synergy with Jian Chun was seamless, but he was a bit stretched to take care of Tian Ce, who had mounted a horse. Moreover, Ye Ting acted as if he had a grudge against him, refusing to cooperate with the intention of focusing fire. After several battles, Qin Jixiu relied almost entirely on his life-saving skills to hold on in critical moments.
It was probably inconvenient for the boss to use the microphone, so he said in the team channel: [Tian Ce, pay attention to your positioning. Don't run out like a mad dog from the beginning. I can't catch up with you, and you still have to nurse Ye Lansheng...]
"Ye Lansheng" was the name of Ye Ting's Jianchun account. Qin Jixiu had previously belonged to a moderately large guild on this server, and one day, he saw a post on the world channel where "Ye Lansheng" was looking for a guild to take him in. He had seen enough of Ce Zang's jokes to have a personal motive when he recruited him into the guild. He had never expected the person who came up with this name to be a Jianchun.
Later, the gang was handed over to Ye Lansheng for management. He wanted to help his friend fight faction wars, so he moved to another server to rebuild the gang. At that time, in order to accompany him, Ye Ting transferred his small account Cang Jian over.
The Cang Jian equipment score was very high, and after landing, he changed his name to "Qin Zheng's Ji Xiaomeng".
"Qin Zheng" is of course the name of Qin Jixiu's Tiance.
At that time, Qin Jixiu was so moved that he officially established a romantic relationship with him.
On the day they confirmed their relationship, Qin Jixiu's entire wardrobe (ugly clothes hidden) Jun Ye found a beautiful island in Qiandao Lake and set off fireworks for the second young master, who was wearing a school uniform.
Qin Jixiu came back to his senses from the past, and because Naihua's accusation was indeed reasonable, he was not angry.
[Sorry to trouble you.]
This sentence appeared in the team channel, and Naihua did not speak again.
Ye Ting didn't know if he hadn't seen the two messages, he just mechanically said: "I've queued."
About half an hour later, after a loss, Milk Flower sent another message in the team channel: [I'm tired tonight, I won't play for now.]
After saying that, the other party immediately quit YY, leaving Ye Ting and Qin Jixiu alone.
Qin Jixiu didn't pay much attention to an outsider, but planned to talk to his lover while Ye Ting was still there.
"Are you tired from work today? Can you handle it?"
A light laugh came from the gaming headset, and then Qin Jixiu heard Ye Ting's nonchalant voice: "Brother, I'm going to my dad's company. There's nothing to be tired of. Don't worry about it."
"Then your family..."
Qin Jixiu had only spoken a few words when Ye Ting interrupted him sarcastically, "If you're reluctant to pay, forget it. It's not like I can't live without you. Sigh, I'm curious, do you really care about how I'm doing today, or do you suspect I'm cheating you out of your money?"
There was a sting in Ye Ting's words, and Qin Jixiu felt uncomfortable.
"Of course that's not what I meant..."
Qin Jixiu tried to force a smile, but after saying this, he paused. He wasn't a slow person, but he showed rare patience with Ye Ting. As expected, one always has to be a grandson, either here or there. Sometimes they're willing to be, sometimes not so willing, and now is the time when they're not so willing.
"Then what do you mean?" Ye Ting asked in a harsh tone.
Qin Jixiu was having trouble digesting the venomous tone. He simply wanted to stop the conflict, not to stir it up. So he quietly exhaled and tried to speak calmly. "It's okay," he said. "If you don't want to talk, I won't force you. When you do, I'm always here to listen."
There was silence over there. Qin Jixiu heard the sound of him drinking water. When the cup was put down, it made a slight knock. An ominous premonition quickly spread in his mind, like a black fog wrapping around his heart.
Qin Jixiu first heard a strange and distant name - "Qin Zheng", and then heard calm but interrogative words.
"Let me be frank with you. I don't want to be involved in anything else. You keep bringing up the idea of meeting in person. Are you prepared for your future life? Would your parents approve? What would your friends say? Have you ever considered what I'll face? Are you really satisfied just by forcing me to stop playing this game?"
"No, I don't want you to leave."
Qin Jixiu immediately retorted. He certainly didn't want to force him, but when feelings were deep, he wanted to see and touch them, not just listen to Ye Ting's voice and imagine them all day. Qin Jixiu was more afraid of losing him forever than accepting Ye Ting's cold treatment, so he had no choice but to lower his stance and make concessions.
"I understand your concerns, and I also understand that you're not ready yet. I won't mention meeting you again unless you tell me you're willing. Don't worry, I won't rush to Lincheng to find you without your consent. You know I'm not that kind of person."
Ye Ting didn't speak for a while, and Qin Jixiu waited with bated breath.
"I want to sell the Hidden Sword."
When Ye Ting told him this, Qin Jixiu stopped breathing.
"Why?"
A low, unsteady whisper was met with a more casual attitude. Qin Jixiu could even hear Ye Ting's undisguised deliberateness: "Don't want to play in this server anymore? I came here for you in the first place. The relatives and friends here are your relatives and friends, not mine. I've been with you in this gang for so long, I've wanted to leave a long time ago."
The author has something to say:

You'd better really leave.
