Chapter 63 Online Dating 30
During lunch break, a post quietly climbed to the top of the Endless Returns forum homepage.
Who is the alternate account that suddenly appeared next to ls?
OP: [Image] He's only level 23, and Lai Si not only carries him through daily quests and low-level dungeons, but also lets him carry her around to help him with the main quest? Even the most hardcore players don't get this kind of treatment. What's Lai Si's background that makes her so good to him? Aren't the hardcore players jealous?
Anyone who follows LaiSi knows who the poster is talking about. Even if they don't know, the two big characters "Yaguchi" on the picture are clearly visible. A quick search will allow them to seamlessly find out who the juicy gossip is.
Wow, I haven't checked for a few days and it's true! Where did this alt account come from? Did you pick it up in the newbie village?
This beaver, the previous apprentice successfully became the master's wife, and now that she has no apprentices, she feels so lonely, so she thought she'd go to the newbie village to pick one up.
I don't accept this??? I've been camping in the newbie village for so long, woof woof, I practically threw the leash in front of him, why won't he pick me up? [crying]
I'm devastated. Is Lai Si's kindness to her disciple an arithmetic sequence? Feng Ting, you've ultimately given your heart to the wrong person. If only you had come a little later. [crying]
Is it possible that Chun Chun came here because she felt so grateful to have finally found a normal person, and wanted to treat them well to prevent them from turning evil like those previous rebellious students? [sweating]
Wouldn't this make them even more corrupted? Some hate that the moon doesn't shine alone, and with their possessiveness overflowing, they resort to unethical acts to forcibly take over their master.
Honestly, if this weren't a game, I'd really be worried about Lai Si's personal safety...
Electronic screens still make me feel too safe.
OP: Don't go off-topic. He didn't just pick up a low-level account from the newbie village. Besides, he's now a high-level player. Can anyone tell me his background?
Wow, that was fast! Even the British dog was only invited because he was being chased by Feng Ting.
No, I just entered the guild, how come Yaguchi is in the management list?
Wow, this guy is awesome! Who is he?
Although I play a male character, I have a slight suspicion that he is a demon, because he always attracts some strange creatures.
It's a guy. I could tell he wasn't using a voice changer. I heard him on YY. Uh... but how did he get into Nice and Ying Gou's private room? The last person to go in was our guild leader. Yaguchi is getting pretty good treatment.
: Another tonic, oh, when will it be my turn to bewitch you? (crawling in the shadows) (swinging back and forth) (crawling in the shadows)
Uh, Yaguchi has been around for a long time, even longer than Fengting became an apprentice. He should be a close friend or relative of the gang leader and vice gang leader. Let's call it a day.
That's alright then.
They came carrying melons, left disappointed, and dispersed.
Laughing at me, Ying Gou was so smug and boastful in his World Championship speech yesterday, but he got a slap in the face from Sha Kou right away. Serves you right for being so cocky, now you don't have your little world with him anymore!
Those who know, know. In front of real-life friends and family, even romantic relationships and life partners have to take a backseat. [laughs]
Brothers are like limbs, boyfriends are like clothes, right? [Laughs] I wear...
OP: Something seems off about this guy, I'll wait and see. Can't he just get lost already? Why don't you break up with him? Isn't Lai Si straight? He's already revealed his gender and he still won't break up...
: They're such decent people, they're probably planning to quietly break up once things calm down and netizens stop paying attention.
Is it possible that Lai Si just likes Luo Ying? He's never been in a relationship before, and nobody told you he was straight. He's just met the right person. Anyone who's ever chatted on YY (a Chinese live streaming platform) knows how sweet the couple is now, always saying "baby." I advise you to stop daydreaming.
Brother, shut up! Your words have deeply hurt me. I've broken down and cried uncontrollably. I've pleaded before Buddha for three thousand years, just for one glance from you in this lifetime. [crying]
This person seems a bit odd, always surrounded by people. I suggest sending it to me for a checkup. [Thinking]
OP: Are you a British dog? Get out of my thread. You're the kind of person who'll be separated from me sooner or later, what are you so smug about?
A mouth as hard as ice, a defenseless heart [picking nose]
OP: Why should I be on guard? The one who should be on guard is someone else. Who do you think you are to be worthy of him? It's just a game.
OP: And those of you who are fantasizing in this thread, can you please get out of here? Don't you think your behavior is disgusting?
Why did you suddenly go crazy?
It felt like I was walking down the street and suddenly got kicked by a dog.
There's a surprise waiting for you on the poster's homepage! Come and have some fun, fellow netizens!
Oh my god, I was wondering why this ID looked so familiar, it's Li—who is this guy?! This guy is a high-intensity stalker, posting every day asking "Who is the person next to xxx in the thread?", from Fengtingbuzhi to Yakou, are you a walking encyclopedia of questions?
Wow, a living cybernetic STK, that's interesting. [eating popcorn emoji]
This guy's homepage is hilarious... He went to the fortune teller next door to ask about his sexual orientation, paid to test his compatibility with Lai Si, only to be scammed and then angrily posted 300 comments.
I guess I can't do it anymore [laughs]
The funniest thing is that the divination result came back as a straight man. Who is this guy? His late-night emo post: When can I become your backup option?
It's so heartbreaking to see a gay man fall in love with a straight woman; I'm crying while I'm shipping them.
: I suggest that whoever is suing the fortune teller, that's a scoundrel! Lai Si and Ying Gou are clearly ttmm now, what kind of guide is this!
OP: ttmm what? This is my thread, get out! They'll break up sooner or later, straight men won't accept same sex.
I'm totally shipping this guy. I'd rather believe he's straight than accept that he doesn't love me. It's kind of funny how I'm deceiving myself.
Milligrams [Delicious]
...
"Chen, Yaguchi, you're trending!" Fox, who had been watching the whole thing, rushed over to report. The three of them now had one more person in the microphone, making it even more crowded. "Everyone is curious about who you are."
He made no attempt to hide his mockery: "Has your intelligence deteriorated? You even need Nice to lead you through the main quests. This isn't our genius Yaguchi, is it?"
Yaguchi said lazily, "I wanted to avoid taking a detour, but you pretended to disappear, so I had to trouble Lai Si."
"—And Luoying. Sigh, I really didn't mean to disturb your time together. I didn't expect that the youngest of us would be the first to fall in love. Fox, reflect on yourself."
Fox: "Sand Mouth."
Yaguchi: "?"
Fox: "Keep your chastity pure and do not disturb."
The two of them sang in unison, completely dominating the microphone. Yuan Ying was just sharing her latest recipes with Lu Xuejin when she was squeezed out and had no room to speak.
It's still too crowded for four people together.
Lu Xuejin watched coldly from the sidelines.
Since she was guiding others through the main storyline, she inevitably had frequent conversations with Shen Fangzhi. Shen Fangzhi seemed interested in the plot and always asked about the relationships between NPCs and the secrets behind the events. Lu Xuejin didn't like skipping parts and was fairly familiar with the plot, so the two were having a pleasant conversation.
Yuan Ying had no knowledge of the plot, and even if she looked it up on the spot, she would find it difficult to join the conversation and could only find other topics to talk about. It became even more difficult after the fox joined, as the three of them had more interaction in real life and had endless topics to discuss.
Not to mention, the fox and Yaguchi intentionally or unintentionally brought up the topic of the three of them when they were children.
“Let’s get together sometime when we’re both free. I just met Lai Si, but Fox, it’s been three years since we last met.” Yaguchi said with a half-smile, “I need to see what you look like now.”
"No need to guess, he's as handsome as ever. You can ask Lai Si if you don't believe me."
Lu Xuejin was fully aware of their plans, but he didn't mention a word about it, only saying, "Not much has changed."
The fox laughed: "You little sandpiper, you think you can mess with me? Count how many times I've delivered sweet soup to you before. Even if you didn't do anything special, you still put in the effort. After not seeing you for years, all you do is cricket me."
Lu Xuejin said nostalgically, "That shop closed down and reopened five years ago, but the taste isn't as good as it used to be."
Yaguchi said gently, "Actually, no matter what, I always feel that the taste was better when I was a child. It's a filter of time, and I can't resist it."
Lu Xuejin suddenly brought Yuan Ying into the conversation: "I saw a restaurant near your school before, and the reviews were good. They said it was very authentic."
“Jialing House?” Yuan Ying recalled, “Indeed, every time I passed by, the business was booming.”
Lu Xuejin said, "Let's go explore the store together sometime."
His tone was incredibly gentle.
The other three all had their own thoughts after hearing this.
The baby's tactics of feigning closeness and distance, of seemingly rejecting while simultaneously courting, were quite skillful, Yuan Ying thought. Although he had been chatting with Fox and Yaguchi for the first half of the time, he knew that Lu Xuejin's attention had actually been focused on him. The subtle neglect, the inability to join the conversation, suddenly receiving extra, intimate care was like a ray of moonlight dispelling the darkness; anyone would be moved.
So adorable. Even when they're being mischievous, it's done subtly, leaving people completely bewildered.
Yuan Ying couldn't help but imagine what Lu Xue looked like when she was young.
He's probably a little devil with a hidden agenda, an angelic appearance but a devilish heart. He doesn't even realize when others are bullied by him; they just stare blankly at Lu Xuejin's fair, chubby cheeks, wondering if he'll cry if they take a bite.
He had already met Lu Xuejin and knew that with just a pair of affectionate, bright, and clear blue eyes, she could easily entice countless people to fall for her. If she only had eyes for one person, and her heart and soul were devoted to him as if he were her whole world, it would be even more dizzying and irresistible.
Even if Lu Xuejin openly instigates others, or stirs up war and causes conflict, no one will blame or hate him for it.
Yuan Ying was not fooled. Even when Lu Xuejin lowered her eyes in sorrow, he could see the gloating in her eyes.
The two "light bulbs," oblivious to the situation, shone brightly, hoping to attract Lu Xuejin's attention. In reality, it was all a charade orchestrated by Lu Xuejin to stir his emotions and make him even more infatuated; the process and outcome had nothing to do with them.
After a while of commotion, the third wheel finally went offline, leaving him and Lu Xuejin to take the rare pet baby for a walk.
Lu Xuejin then explained carefully, "Fox, Yaguchi, and I have known each other since we were very young because our elders were acquainted with us. Our families lived next door to each other, and we often saw each other when we were children. They are my closest friends."
“However,” he said in a low voice, as if there was a third person in the microphone, “we’re not actually that close, but Yaguchi contacted me. He’s lonely abroad and rarely comes back to China, so I didn’t think I could refuse.”
"Don't be angry."
The whispered apology made Yuan Ying's ears involuntarily burn, as if Lu Xuejin were truly close, her warm breath lightly caressing her skin. Every word, especially the breathy lip and teeth sounds, amplified by the microphone, gently tapped against her eardrums, causing a series of subtle, strange tingling sensations that spread along her ear canal.
Yuan Ying chuckled: "Why would I be angry? On the contrary, I'm so happy to finally meet your friend. It's wonderful that you've grown up together and are still together."
Yuan Ying's childhood was filled with beer bottles and violence; his life was chaotic and disorderly, and he was happy to live in a daze. Sometimes he would beat the man unconscious, leaving blood on the back of his hand, and then throw him into the sofa and fall into a deep sleep.
“When I was little, I was silly and only knew how to play by myself. I never thought about making friends. As a result, I couldn’t find any friends later.” Yuan Ying’s voice was a little aggrieved and a little down. He carefully controlled his tone, not playing the victim too much, and quickly regained his cheerfulness—a trick he learned from Qian Man. He said in a light tone, “But being alone is good too. You don’t have to worry about others, and you can go wherever you want anytime.”
Lu Xuejin said sadly, "I could hardly go out when I was a child."
Yuan Ying sighed, "Poor little thing."
After saying that, he paused and slowly asked, "Now that you can go out, would you like to come to my place and go shopping with me?"
