Chapter 303 Qin Jixiu's heart chilled again
Qin Jixiu had seen him chatting and joking with others in the guild group today, only to hear him say, "Those aren't his friends or family." Qin Jixiu was immediately confused. But now wasn't the time to dwell on it. Qin Jixiu didn't want him to sell his account, because he couldn't bear to part with that sweet ID.
"Why sell it? If you really don't want to play with Cang Jian, just leave it to me."
Ye Ting was obviously puzzled: "Why would I leave it to you? I bought this account, and the certificate is not mine. It's just a crappy equipment account. Do you think I'd want to leave it to you?"
Qin Jixiu didn't continue his words this time, but softened his tone: "Did I do something to make you angry recently?"
"No."
The "no" was clearly emotional and unconvincing. Qin Jixiu could only continue to patiently coax him, "Then why do you always speak to me in this tone? I said we can not meet, what are you worried about? If you want to focus on playing Jianchun, I can also transfer back to another server to accompany you."
After hearing his words, Ye Ting almost blurted out: "No need."
Ye Ting's rejection was too cold and too quick. Qin Jixiu was a little anxious: "Why? You have to give me a reason. We have always been fine, what is the reason that made you become like this——"
Ye Ting's impatient voice came: "I don't want to talk about it today, I'll go now."
After saying that, Ye Ting left the room, with the same style as "Qiao Lezi".
Qin Jixiu saw him turn and enter their own gang's YY, so he followed without hesitation. He didn't know what day it was, but YY was crowded with people, and everywhere he looked, they were all familiar names. Qin Jixiu entered the channel, and it was very lively. It was Ba Dao from the gang, organizing people for a battle on the battlefield.
Someone spotted him and enthusiastically called out on YY, "Hey, Boss, what a rare guest! How did you find time to come today? Oh, the Deputy Boss is here too! Are you two together? Did you secretly meet up without telling us?"
Qin Jizheng was about to speak, but Ye Ting spoke first: "No, we just finished playing JJC, and came to see what all of you are doing." Ye Ting's voice was cheerful, and you couldn't tell at all that he had just had an argument with him.
Leader Ba Dao said, "You came at the perfect time. We were just worried about not having enough people. I was wondering where all those battlefield geeks went? Why didn't they join my group? Boss, please be kind and save us! We fight in the battlefield for the guild ranking! While you were away, I managed to recruit enough people again!"
Cang Yun from the gang chimed in, "That's right, Gang Leader. Tyrant Blade can use a sword wall to combine Xiu Nu with the opposing Mingjiao circle. Others play the romance style Tyrant Blade, but he plays the death style. A battlefield leader plays like this. Now everyone in our server avoids him when they see him."
A younger voice said, "Hurry up! The lights are turned off at 11 o'clock. I don't have much time left!"
Qin Jixiu really wasn't in the mood for this at the moment, but he couldn't bear to let these kids' hopes go to waste, so he said, "I'm new to this, so I won't fight anymore. I sent out red envelopes in the group."
Qin Jixiu is not only a generous lover, but also a generous gang leader. In a more literal sense, the gang members are all brothers and partners who have been through thick and thin with him. Although they have never met, they are brought together by the same interests and standpoints, which is a rare fate.
Everyone present took their hands off the keyboard and rushed to grab the red envelopes. After grabbing them, they began to praise the gang leader for his generosity in various ways. Their words were much sweeter than Ye Ting's.
Ba Dao then said, "Forget it. Looks like we can't get anyone together tonight. There are too many people right now, and the guild hasn't had a team building for a while. Come and help me kill the pig first."
Seeing that Ye Ting was silent again but didn't leave, Qin Jixiu guessed that he still wanted to play with them for a while, so he suggested: "After killing the pig, why don't you have a singing party. I have something to do tomorrow, so I'll rest first."
Everyone cheered.
Qin Jixiu waited for a while, and as he expected, Ye Ting took the initiative to get on the microphone and was much more active than chatting with him.
In the past few years in the business world, Qin Jixiu had seen many demons and monsters. Ye Ting was simple-minded and loved to show off. He had a pleasant voice and was also a voice actor. Before they fell in love, he often stole the show at various YY concerts. Because of his wide range of repertoire and vocal range, he attracted many fans.
After Qin Jixiu declared his sovereignty, Ye Ting’s little fans came to him for “negotiation”, which Qin Jixiu found quite interesting.
This time, he took the initiative to give Ye Ting a chance to perform.
Ye Ting must have been preparing for this for a long time, as he immediately picked a difficult Japanese song, and the public screen was filled with praise. After the song was over, Ye Ting's voice was noticeably more cheerful, and Qin Jixiu finally exited YY.
At the same time, his phone lit up. Who was calling him in the middle of the night? Confused by this, Qin Jixiu looked down and saw it was his long-missing friend, Zhu Xun.
[Brother, you are famous today, why don’t you thank your father?]
Qin Jixiu saw this sentence at a glance, which was a typical "Zhu Xun" style of speech.
Zhu Xun was a good friend of his from the fashion design industry, and Qin Jixiu had transferred to this server to help him. At the time, Zhu Xun was like a maniac, desperately pursuing his in-game goddess. When the boss paid for plane tickets, he got a bunch of PVP enthusiasts to transfer to the server to fight, creating a sensation that was known throughout the server.
By the way, it was Zhu Xun who reimbursed Ye Ting for the several dozen dollars he spent on transferring to Cangjian.
Finally, the goddess ran away, leaving him with only one sentence: "I don't like women."
It sounded baffling at first, but Qin Jixiu immediately criticized him after hearing it: "Why do you have to play with Sister Xiu for no reason?"
Zhu Xun said at the time: "I am different from you guys. I don't like to go online and face a man's butt."
Qin Jixiu: ...Okay.
Perhaps because she'd been hurt by her goddess, Zhu Xun was now a shrewd young lady who only knew how to plant flowers and build houses, wearing a pitch-black, ugly outfit and taking screenshots all over the world. Qin Jixiu couldn't understand why Zhu Xun had such strong professional skills, but her aesthetic in the game was so touching.
Qin Jixiu picked out the important things and said: [Shut up.]
Zhu Xun's mouth was filled with poison: "What's going on? Is things not going well with Xiao Cang Jian? Is he about to get pregnant? I told you not to fall in love online! You didn't listen to your dad, and now you're in trouble?"
Qin Jixiu replied: [When you have time, reflect on yourself more and stop criticizing others.]
Zhu Xun changed the subject: [Life is so hard, Brother Zheng.]
Qin Jixiu felt disgusted by this name and asked, "In order to get you to work at Zhukang, your uncle suspended your card again?"
Zhu Xun was bitter and vengeful: [Whatever money is, it's just material possessions. If you knew I've been urging people to get married every morning, you'd think I'm miserable too.]
Qin Jixiu: [Indeed.]
[By the way, are you okay? I saw on the news that you were in a car accident.]
Zhu Xun's thoughts jumped out of control, and Qin Jixiu was speechless: [You're asking now?]
Zhu Xun: [Didn’t I just grasp the key point?]
After exchanging a few pleasantries with his friend, Qin Jixiu's mood suddenly brightened up, and the frown that had been on his face for a while now slowly relaxed.
But he didn't expect that Zhu Xun's words were so accurate - that night, Ye Ting secretly transferred Cang Jian to another server without telling him.
When Qin Jixiu learned about this, he was busy reviewing documents. Ye Ting, who was at odds with him, naturally would not admit it on his own initiative. It was the gang members who accidentally discovered that "Ji Xiaomeng" had quit the gang and came to ask him what was going on between them.
Qin Jixiu recalled Ye Ting's rhetoric last night, using "Ye Lansheng sold this account" to dismiss those who were concerned about the gossip. Then he realized that when he heard the news, his first reaction was not surprise, but "finally".
He continued to look down at the document in his hand. He wondered which idiot had written this obscure, pretentious, and damn hard to understand product copy. These kids' work ethic was becoming increasingly frivolous, each generation truly worse than the last. He slammed the document shut.
The desk calendar beside him was whipped around by the angry wind, and Qin Jixiu's heart stirred. His slender fingers flicked through two pages, and he began to stare blankly at a date marked with a red heart. In just two months, he and Ye Ting would have been in love for a thousand days. Qin Jixiu planned to give Ye Ting a car on that day. The car had already been ordered; it was a white Pamei.
When he ordered the car, he was thinking about going for a drive with Ye Ting. It would be great to go to the bustling Jiangcheng, but it would also be nice to go to Lincheng, a natural oxygen bar. He'd buy a big house in Lincheng, preferably a duplex, with a game room, bar, karaoke room, and living room on the first floor. They could play games together after work and have a few drinks when they felt like it. He'd heard that many people used sound cards for singing, so he had to get Ye Ting the equipment, too.
The second floor should be equipped with a starry sky ceiling, the home theater should be large enough, the bedroom must have good lighting, and the master bedroom should have a comfortable big bed where they can enjoy themselves...
Qin Jixiu stopped imagining this time.
Because the dull pain that he was belatedly aware of suddenly pierced his heart.
Ye Ting was such a nice guy when they first met. A sunny and cheerful boy, he wouldn't let anything you said fall flat on his face once you opened your mouth. He was humorous, versatile, and had a knack for reading people's minds. He'd always try to put on a show when his son was feeling down. Qin Jixiu even suspected he was secretly memorizing jokes at school.
Ye Ting has an amazing talent for languages. He can speak all the nice dialects from all over the country, and can suddenly come up with a few passionate lines from comics. He can also speak Korean quite well.
If you cooperate with him a little more, he can chat with you all night in high spirits, with no two jokes or songs repeated, and his energy is so great that you will feel ashamed of yourself.
Qin Jixiu thought he was cute and lively.
At the peak, they could talk on the phone until three in the morning, and finally fall asleep with Ye Ting's loud snoring gradually filling their ears. Qin Jixiu was sometimes unable to sleep because of the noise, and would just take off the headphones silently, still reluctant to hang up the phone.
How did they become like this?
What does it mean to be together for over 900 days? If their chat logs were printed out on A4 paper, it would be enough to rebuild their company. Is it because Ye Ting is young that he gets bored after such a long time?
Qin Jixiu couldn't understand. He couldn't understand, but he didn't immediately run over to question her. That would make it seem like all the extra years he'd lived before Ye Ting had been wasted.
But at the end of the day, the more the emotions settle, the more difficult it is to let go.
But he was better than the boy in his early twenties in one respect: since he knew he couldn't control the future, he didn't care whether the ending would be the same as he eagerly anticipated. Instead, he wanted the ending to come later. Didn't Ye Ting want to talk to him more? Then he would show up less often.
After pretending to be dead for three days, Qin Jixiu's heart sank even more when he found out that Ye Ting did not take the initiative to look for him.
What exactly did Ye Ting want? He accepted all the gifts and money transfers, but his attitude towards him didn't soften because of them. Was it not enough?
Qin Jixiu couldn't help himself and contacted Ye Ting first. He called and this time Ye Ting actually answered the phone, saying "Hello" in a very cold tone.
Qin Jixiu's prepared speech was choked back by this sound, and the longing he wanted to express was also changed. Qin Jixiu said plainly: "We have known each other for almost a thousand days. I prepared a gift for you."

Those who betray others' sincerity will not have a good ending.
