——————————————————————————-
When LingYang returned at night, XuXian who was lying on the sofa watching television immediately ran back to his bedroom. LingYang quickly stopped him at his door, putting on what he thought was his most ferocious expression, firmly saying: “8 words , lenient if you confess, severe if you resist!”
XuXian"s neck stiffened, his expression telling him that he would not say anything even if he was beaten to death, “I have 8 words too, he is very straight, he has a wife.”
XuXian"s words were more lethal, the active LingYang immediately quietened down, turning around and throwing himself on XuXian"s bed. “d.a.m.n, can you tell me why is my life so hard, everyone I like is always attached.”
“Every time? How many times have you liked someone?”
LingYang muttered into the bed, XuXian could not hear him clearly, only hearing something about being unlucky.
“Enough YangYang, there"s many more fishes in the sea, if you want a good man they"re everywhere, you don"t have to waste your effort on a straight guy.” XuXian looked at his pitiful image and felt a little sorry, but he still had to protect the chast.i.ty of his childhood friend.
“In these times, all good men already have girlfriends, I don"t dare to fight with them, once is enough.”
“You fought with someone before?” XuXian asked cautiously.
“Why did I never discovered that you are so gossipy in the past?”
“I"m just showing concern for you.”
LingYang waved his hand weakly, “Don"t talk about it, it"s a tragedy, I"ll just go and look for my husband to ask him to console me.”
XuXian watched him dejectedly climbing out of the bed and walking out, he wondered, why was there a husband suddenly?
[System]: is now online.YeLang stared at this line on the screen for a very long while, first he suspected if the game client was lagging, then he checked if his computer was dead, finally he went to take a look at his blacklist, confirming that he did not lock the other person in that little dark house, then he was perplexed.
Normally whether it was him or Bell who came online, within three seconds the other guy would fly over with a long line of tildes, each time he would also have to urge to kick the other guy"s face.
But today Bell had already been online for ten minutes, and there was still no reaction from him, not only there was no sign of him, there was not even a whisper, this was very unlike the person"s behaviour.
He waited for another five minutes, there was still no movement from the other side, this time Night Wolf could no longer just sit tight, he started suspecting if the other guy was hacked, remembering that the account Bell was bought by him online on 3715, he had a bad feeling.
He teleported over to LingYang with the couple ability, once the map loaded he was surprised to find himself at Lake ShiWen.
And the one he suspected had ADHD was actually quietly fishing by the lake at that moment.
[Whisper] NightWolf: …
[Whisper] NightWolf: Are you actually him?
[Whisper] Bell: Husband~
[Whisper] NightWolf: …
Although the tilde line was a little short, but it could still be roughly determined that it was the actual person.
[Whisper] NightWolf: What are you doing here?
[Whisper] Bell: Fishing.
[Whisper] NightWolf: I"m asking why are you fishing?
[Whisper] Bell: Don"t all people who have suffered heartbreaks come to Lake ShiWen to fish?
People actually said this? Why was the version he heard that all lovers had to come to Lake ShiWen to make a wish? Not right, the key point of that sentence just now was…
[Whisper] NightWolf: Your heart is broken?
[Whisper] Bell: Wuwuwu Husband please console me~
[Whisper] NightWolf: But when did you fall in love?
[Whisper] Bell: This afternoon.
[Whisper] NightWolf: Then when did you break your heart?
[Whisper] Bell: Just now.
[Whisper] NightWolf: … I really think that your death will not be regretted.
[Whisper] Bell: Husband don"t be like this, having a broken heart is already very pitiful（/TДT)/
YeLang also took out his fishing road, fishing next to Bell.
[Whisper] NightWolf: Then fine, let"s hear how you derailed.
[Whisper] Bell: Looking back, I discovered him in the crowd, in that moment my heart pounded,
as though he was the marriage partner I had been waiting for a thousand years
for, my fateful companion, my soulmate, the dream lover I"ve been yearning for,
the lover from my past life that I"ve exchanged vows with, the ShaPoLang that
I"ve been praying five hundred years for.
[Whisper] NightWolf: Speak human.
[Whisper] Bell: I fell in love at first sight.
If it was before, YeLang would scorn this sentence, but for some unknown reason, looking at this today he felt as though his heart actually moved a little.
[Whisper] NightWolf: What"s the feeling of falling in love at first sight?
[Whisper] Bell: Just like you got an electric shock, zzz–
Like an electric shock? YeLang recalled that moment, there did not seem to be one.
[Whisper] NightWolf: Then how did you break your heart?
[Whisper] Bell: That guy is a skeleton type elite boss.
[Whisper] NightWolf: What does that mean?
[Whisper] Bell: It means that he has a wife.
[Whisper] NightWolf: Turns out there"s also people in this world that you can"t act upon.
[Whisper] Bell: I also have moral integrity please.
[Whisper] NightWolf: Sorry, I couldn"t tell.
[Whisper] Bell: 凸>皿<>
[Whisper] Bell: Actually I"ve confessed to an attached guy before.
This was the secret LingYang had been keeping in heart, he had never even told his bosom friend XuXian, but he did not know why he wanted to say it at that moment, maybe that was the power of Lake ShiWen.
[Whisper] NightWolf: Oh?
[Whisper] Bell: I"ve know him for 16 years, we met when we were young because of our
families, I only know that he had always been around since the start of my
memories, that feeling"s just like it"s natural for us to be part of each other.
[Whisper] Bell: He is like my closest brother, he also has a girlfriend, but I don"t know why,
one day I actually went to confess to him.
[Whisper] NightWolf: And?
[Whisper] Bell: What else, we can"t even be friends anymore.
[Whisper] Bell: He didn"t reject me directly, but he didn"t even want to speak a word to me,
not even a no.
[Whisper] Bell: It"s completely a bad ending hahaha.
YeLang could tell that the other was forcing himself to laugh, but he did not know how to console him.
This person was usually heartless, suddenly feeling such emotions he himself was also not used to it.
He could not understand what it was like to like someone of the same gender, but thinking about it, if his childhood buddy XuXian confessed to him out of the blue one day, he believed the shock that he would feel would not be any lesser than that person.
[Whisper] Bell: It only gets worse, although we"re both of the same age, but he has always
taken care of me like an older brother since young, every time we fight I"m
always the one getting angry, he has never scolded me before.
[Whisper] Bell: But on the next morning after my confession, because of my unintentional
fault, he actually called me and gave me a huge scolding, saying that I was
very impulsive, that I was irresponsible etc.
[Whisper] Bell: Oh oh, this is still not the unluckiest thing, at that time I couldn"t pick up the
phone, so LuoMing Wind that guy helped me put it on speaker mode, the
entire room ended up hearing it, till this point in time, I"ve never embarra.s.sed
myself like this in front of anyone!
[Whisper] NightWolf: …
[Whisper] Bell: So I ran away, I no longer had the face to see him, not daring to stay in the
dormitory, not daring to go home during the break, I was afraid of getting
found by him.
[Whisper] NightWolf: Are you sure there"s no misunderstanding somewhere?
[Whisper] Bell: It doesn"t matter anymore.
[Whisper] Bell: Husband, don"t you think I"m very miserable, please give me warmth please
comfort me T^T
[Whisper] NightWolf: How do you want me to comfort you?
[Whisper] Bell: A meet up?
[Whisper] NightWolf: Impossible.
[Whisper] Bell: Wuwuwu then a hug ok?
YeLang thought about it for a moment, he still opened the couple ability panel, and selected the option to hug the wife.
Just as he went in for the hug, a cloud of white smoke enveloped the other, YeLang was not unfamiliar with this sight, as expected, in the next second, the screen showed an intimate scene of two guys hugging closely together.
He knew that right from the start the other guy did not have any good intentions, but he was still foolish enough to believe him, even feeling sad for him for a moment.
But he was even more sure that was really a b.a.s.t.a.r.d game, the developers" 3D team really had nothing better to do.
Bell had changed to a male character, the model was exactly the same as Night Wolf, both guys of the same height, when hugging together there would not be a delicate and lovely feeling.
But it was also because of this reason, on screen Bell was turned around, and Night Wolf was hugging the other from the back, his chin resting on Bell"s neck, it looked very intimate.
It was now sunset in the game, the rays of the setting sun reflecting on the lake, making the water glitter with gold, YeLang"s top-rated graphics card even clearly rendered the two"s reflections on the surface of the lake.[Whisper] Bell: Don"t move, we"ll hug for awhile ok?
[Whisper] Bell: Please.
YeLang hesitated, he removed his finger that was already ready to shift his character, allowing the characters to continue holding on to each other.
After awhile, YeLang was truly unable to get used to the silence between the both of them, especially when both characters were still in that ambiguous position, so he could only take the initiative to find something to talk about.
[Whisper] NightWolf: 7/7 has already pa.s.sed, why did you still keep the gender-changing item?
[Whisper] Bell: Such an interesting item, everyone also kept them, could it be that you threw it
away?
[Whisper] NightWolf: I destroyed it once the tasks were completed.
[Whisper] Bell: … So stupid, if you want it again you can only wait till next year.
[Whisper] NightWolf: No need, I also don"t want to turn to a girl.
They fell into silence again, YeLang discovered that he was really bad at small talk, when Bell was chattering away in the past he never felt that way, but thinking about it now, how was Bell able to liven up the atmosphere just by himself.
[Whisper] NightWolf: You mentioned your love at first sight, what kind of person is he?
[Whisper] Bell: A friend"s friend, I don"t know him.
[Whisper] NightWolf: You guys met at school?
[Whisper] Bell: Yeah, at Cafeteria 2.
YeLang"s fingers paused.
[Whisper] NightWolf: What were you doing at Cafeteria 2, isn"t the food there famous for
being very bad?
LingYang had long decided not to ever mention anything about his cosplay, so he naturally could not tell the truth then.
[Whisper] Bell: Ah, I met him while buying buns in the afternoon.
YeLang thought, that should be right, it could not be so coincidental.
Bell jumped away on his own accord, ending that shared action, YeLang sighed in relief unconsciously.
[Whisper] Bell: Ah, thank you, I"m better now.
[Whisper] Bell: Here"s a kiss MUA╭(╯3╰)╮
[Whisper] Bell: I"ll go off first, good night Husband ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (It"s very long, you
can try locking me up, lock me up~~~~)
[System] is now offline.YeLang looked at that long string of tildes, it was both amusing and frustrating, the resilience of wild animals was truly very tough, only in a few minutes he had regained his liveliness, seemed like this blow to the heart was not very significant.
Or maybe, right from the start, love at first sight was unreliable, it was just words.
YeLang"s phone vibrated, it was a notification from Weibo.
He took a look, turned out it was Little Bottom Don"t Run Away mentioning him on some Weibo account, asking if he went to YanShan that afternoon, and was actually captured in the background of some photo.
YeLang opened the image, it was XuXian"s roommate that he met at the entrance of Cafeteria 2, XuXian called him YangYang, his full name seemed to be LingYang, but he did not know which characters made up that name.
There was someone else next to him, after hanging out with Little Bottom Don"t Run Away for so long, he also somewhat understood a little of the colloquial terms, he knew this behaviour was called fan-service, he did not know why, but YeLang found it difficult to accept the interaction between the two guys on screen.
He looked through the Weibo of the person who uploaded the photos, as expected there was an alb.u.m of photos with just LingYang alone, he selected it and browsed through carefully.
Having looked through the entire alb.u.m, YeLang confirmed that he did not feel that strange feeling he had felt when he first saw that person earlier in the day.
YeLang remembered that he started getting interested in the opposite s.e.x when he was a teenager, his relative had brought him to a shooting location to play, there were many heavily made-up ladies surrounding him to “tease” him, that heavy scent of make up and perfume had overwhelmed him to the point where he could barely breathe.
They happened to be shooting that day, the Little Dragon Girl dressed in white stood at a cliff and looked back, unwilling to part, then leapt down into the abyss.
It was that striking look, this image of an extraordinary beauty was deeply engraved into little YeLang"s heart.
That scene today at YanShan"s Cafeteria 2, had actually coincided with that amazing memory of many years, he even felt the same feeling he did from back then.
YeLang fiddled around on his phone unconsciously only to realise that he had saved some photos.
He went back to his photo alb.u.m, and found LingYang"s solo shots in them.
Was this love at first sight? He shook his head, this was impossible.
It must be because Bell was very abnormal today, he had been affected by her as well and so was brainwashed. YeLang"s thumb hovered on the delete option for very long, but in the end he did not select it.
