Xiang Huaizhi looked down at the bag in Jing Huan’s hand.


Jing Huan felt like his hands were probably shaking.


He still had things he wanted to say when he heard a sentence float down to his head. “No need, thank you.”


Jing Huan clenched his hands and it took awhile before he relaxed them. “Oh… oh.”


“Is there anything else?” Xiang Huaizhi asked.


“Yes,” Jing Huan’s Adam’s apple rolled. “Before, when I opened a girl’s account and sought you out, it really was… because of my Jie’s business. I didn’t know that a booster used your account back then.”


Xiang Huaizhi looked askance at him and listened quietly.


“I didn’t know about that until after we got married. I wanted to come clean to you about everything at that time, but then I heard something… the stuff that happened in the past, so I hesitated.” Jing Huan braced himself and continued, “All in all, this whole thing was completely my bad. If you want to beat me or curse me out, that’s alright. If you still don’t feel better, then you can beat me again. I definitely won’t fight back. Also, for all the purple equipment you bought for me before, I’ll return all of the money back to you.”


He felt that he wasn’t sincere enough, so he added, “I’ll pay you back double.”


They stood in the middle of the school bypath and occasionally, two or three students would pass by them, hearing some words from the conversation. These students would cast curious and gossipy eyes at them one after another.


“No need,” said Xiang Huaizhi. He paused for a moment and then added, “Double isn’t necessary.”


Jing Huan nodded. “Then, when do you want to beat me?”


“….”


This was Xiang Huaizhi’s first time hearing such words.


He stared at the boy’s hair for a while and then said, “I don’t plan to hit you.”


Jing Huan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.


It wasn’t that he was afraid of being beaten. He had been pain resistant since he was a child, so getting beaten wasn’t a big deal. It was just, if the person who beat him was Xiang Huaizhi… that was a completely different story.


“When are you going online today? Let’s file for divorce.”


Jing Huan thought he had perhaps relaxed too soon, he had been too optimistic. Thus, the attack power of Xiang Huaizhi’s words were doubled, and it was like a mountain crushed him.


At the bus station, Lu Wenhao was discussing what to do in the afternoon with Gao Zixiang, when he saw that the person who had just flown away was now slowly making his way back to them.


Lu Wenhao turned his head and asked, “What did you do over there?”


Jing Huan replied, “Nothing.”


“Your Jie already left,” Lu Wenhao handed him the plush. “Also, isn’t this a demon race plush? Did you just ask your Jie for this?”


Jing Huan took the plush and held it in his arms. “En. I’m going to head back.”


“Why are you going back?” Lu Wenhao looked at his cellphone and said, “Don’t ah, go to the library bei. I asked in the group chat, there aren’t any people in the library today.”


If I told you why, you probably wouldn’t believe me.


My marriage has broken down, and I’m rushing back to get divorced.


“Another day ba,” Jing Huan weakly said.


As soon as he was about to leave, Gao Zixiang grabbed his arm.


“Are you really all right?” Gao Zixiang gave him a look. “Why do I feel like you’re acting weird today?”


Lu Wenhao immediately added, “I also thought so too. Did you lose 20 games of LoL last night?”


“It’s worse than that.” said Jing Huan.


“…” Lu Wenhao was silent for a moment. “There are things worse than that?”


“Yes.” Jing Huan turned around and muttered, “At least ten thousand times worse ba… I’m leaving.”


&#k2013;


When Xiang Huaizhi returned to the dorms, Lu Hang was still sleeping.


His eyes swept over Lu Hang’s sunflower mouse pad and thought of the bag that Jing Huan had just held out to him.


He knew what was inside. The size and packaging of the bag was the same as the bag containing the roses yesterday.


He had really wanted to say, since it was an apology, you should’ve at least bought tulips, but roses were a very versatile flower for boys so it wasn’t surprising that Jing Huan would choose them.


As soon as Xiang Huaizhi logged into the game, he received a new friend message.


[Friend] Chunxiao: You there?


[Friend] Yearning For: 1.


[Friend] Chunxiao: Tonight, are you still teaming up with your wife in the arena?


[Friend] Yearning For: Not playing.


Xiang Huaizhi’s original intention was that he wasn’t playing the arena tonight, but Chunxiao clearly misunderstood.


[Friend] Chunxiao: Then, can you help me practice a new combo? It’s a healer and Mt. Qiya combo that I just came up with yesterday. I want to use it when fighting in the 2v2 server war. Of course, I’m not asking you to fight in the war with me, I was just thinking if the combo would be more efficient or not. If it is, I’ll get a Mt. Qiya account..


[Friend] Yearning For: What’s the combo?


Chunxiao immediately sent a voice message over.


The tactics that she talked about were fresh, but its effectiveness could only be determined through actual combat.


[Friend] Chunxiao: Help me with this favor, God Xiang. You haven’t played in the arena for a long time ba, so if you continue not playing, your points will be frozen. Don’t be overtaken by those Heaven Grants Conjugal Felicity people.


Although Heaven Grants Conjugal Felicity and Illusion server had been integrated for a while now, the players from the two servers very obviously had no real harmony. They all still fought against each other in private.


Xiang Huaizhi decided to help, considering all the help that Chunxiao had given him before.


[Friend] Yearning For: Got it.


As he just replied, he saw a friend notification pop up—[Your lady Xiao Tianjing has entered the game.]


Jing Huan put the plush on the top of the computer table. Going online felt like running towards the guillotine. .


Last night, he was still glad that he hadn’t received a forced divorce notification, but in the end, it was just Xiang Huaizhi trying to save him some face.


After all, if a married couple had a forced divorce, there would be a system-wide prompt of—”XXX player cut the red thread in front of Yuelao alone, ending their marriage with XXX player”, which was cold and detached.


NCH just loved seeing the server in chaos, fearing that the players didn’t have enough melons to eat.


His Gege was very kind.


Jing Huan enjoyed himself despite his suffering. He thought about it as he opened up a chat box and began typing, and then after he finished typing, he went back to delete the word “Gege”.


[Couple] Xiao Tianjing: I’m here.


[Couple] Xiao Tianjing: I met my counselor on the way back… So I’m a little late.


[Couple] Yearning For: En, Yuelao.


He wasn’t sure if it was because of his mood, but it seemed like Xiao Tianjing’s steps were much heavier than usual. By the time he arrived, Yearning For was already waiting for him in front of Yuelao.


Yearning For didn’t wear any of the latest apparel. He dyed the original clothing completely black, and with his divine artifact, he looked cool and indifferent.


The title, “Xiao Tianjing’s husband” had already been hidden by him so there was just an empty space above his head.


For the first time, Jing Huan didn’t want to accept Yearning For’s team invitation.


[Yuelao: The divorce application has been registered successfully. Please come by again in three days to cut your red thread. During these three days, either of you can cancel this application. The cancellation limit is three times. If you apply for divorce again after a cancellation, the waiting period will be reset. ]


After applying, Xiang Huaizhi said, “Okay, you go play ba.”


Jing Huan opened his mouth and said, “Wait.”


Xiang Huaizhi paused in his action of disbanding the team.


Jing Huan also didn’t know why he had stopped him. At last, he could only say, “Shouldn’t we divide the family property?”



What did I just say?


Jing Huan gaped and wanted to knock his head on the computer screen and die.


In fact, this was a very normal process. After all, the husband and wife lived in one house, and before the divorce, all their belongings were lumped together in one warehouse. After the divorce, everything in the house would default to the owner of the house—Jing Huan.


The two of them returned home and began to separate their possessions.


“All the things in the warehouse are yours, the furniture is yours, and the ornaments in the yard are yours,” Jing Huan looked at the little girl in the corner of his eye and clenched his teeth. “Xiao Xiangjing…”


“The baby will come with me. Everything else you can keep,” Xiang Huaizhi’s words were concise and comprehensive. “It’s troublesome to move.”


That was true.


In one glance, one could tell that Xiang Huaizhi didn’t seem like the kind of person who would patiently dismantle each piece of furniture by clicking the dismantle button.


But he was such a person who, on the day of their marriage, had taken apart his mansion alone and moved all the good furniture into Jing Huan’s house.


Jing Huan scratched his head and felt that he had no qualifications to fight for custody. “Then… You can take her away ba. You can take away the furniture and the things in the warehouse too, I’ll help you gather them and leave them at the door for you.”


Many married couples quarreled when dividing their family property after divorce, but when it came to them, they solved this problem in just a few words.


In the afternoon, Jing Huan didn’t study a single word and spent all of his time in front of the computer dismantling the furniture.


[Friend] Love is For You to Eat: What are you doing? Just hanging around the main city and browsing the stalls?


[Friend] Xiao Tianjing: Ah, you saw?


[Friend] Love is For You to Eat: I’m just setting up a stall right now. What are you looking for? I’ll see if I have it.


[Friend] Xiao Tianjing: No need, I already found it.


[Friend] Love is For You to Eat: Oh, then want to do an instance together? Long Road Ahead just logged in too~


[Friend] Xiao Tianjing: I still have stuff to do, you guys do it first ba.


[Friend] Love is For You to Eat: How are both you and God Xiang so busy?


Jing Huan’s heart leaped, perfunctorily replied with something and then quickly moved the mouse to Yearning For’s profile picture, wanting to see which map the other party was on.


But in the end, the other party had already turned off displaying coordinates.


… All right ba.


Jing Huan spent the whole afternoon transforming the magnificent house back to the former shabby cottage.


After that, he made a cup of coffee and sat in front of the computer just staring at the game interface.


In fact, he didn’t want to divorce Xiang Huaizhi at all.


But the marriage itself was forged in deceit so if Xiang Huaizhi wanted out, he couldn’t tell him no.


Jing Huan stayed in a daze the entire afternoon while Xiang Huaizhi just afked in Fairland, studying all afternoon.


Lu Hang looked back at him and said, “Yi, secretly studying again while I’m not paying attention, stinking top student.”


Xiang Huaizhi didn’t bother lifting his head. “You’re not working hard but you’re also not letting others work hard?”


“Not letting,” Lu Hang said bluntly. “Stop studying, the arena is about to start. Haven’t all your points been frozen because of your paternity leave recently? Hurry up.”


Xiang Huaizhi only then closed the book. He opened WeChat and had just wanted to ask Chunxiao where they would meet, when he saw a preview of the guild group chat’s messages.


After reading it, he frowned and moved the mouse to click on it.


Qiufeng: My partner is busy tonight, who’s free to play 2v2? @Don’t Ask when I’ll Return @Peachy Fate…


Qiufeng: @Chunxiao, oh that’s right, is Regardless of Lovesickness gone today? Let’s fight together ba.


Chunxiao: No, I already made an arrangement with Yearning For.


Qiufeng: ? He agreed?


Chunxiao: En.


Qiufeng: Then I’ll just not fight tonight. You two can just go massacre some Heaven Grants Conjugal Felicity people ba.


Qiufeng: Wait… If God Xiang is fighting with you, then there isn’t anyone taking Xiao Tianjing?


Don’t Ask when I’ll Return: Grabbing this key point… As expected of you.


Chunxiao: Still want to be slaughtered?


[Qiufeng has withdrawn a message]


Xiang Huaizhi looked at the withdrawal prompt for a while before closing WeChat.


When he had arrived at the meeting spot with Chunxiao, which was the gate of the arena, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Tianjing standing near the transporter.


The little fox fairy had changed into a white outfit, which was much more beautiful than the previous one. She quietly and motionlessly stood in the crowd, with “Yearning For’s Wife” pinned on top of her head.


Xiang Huaizhi looked away, and calmly discussed what potions to bring with Chunxiao.


A few minutes later, his gaze drifted back to the transporter.


After a moment, Xiang Huaizhi let out a breath and suddenly said, “Lu Hang.”


Lu Hang turned his head around and asked, “Ah?”


“Who are you playing with in the arena tonight?”


“I don’t know ah. Originally I wanted to call over Chichi, but she had a power outage.” Lu Hang muttered, “I’ll go find someone in the guild ba.”


“Go ask Xiao Tianjing whether she wants to fight or not,” Xiang Huaizhi said.


Lu Hang reflexively answered, “Oh.”


It was only a few seconds later that he realized that something wasn’t right, and he turned his head slowly while frowning to confirm. “… Who did you want me to ask?”


Jing Huan originally didn’t plan to play in the arena.


He just wanted to try his luck and see if he could meet Xiang Huaizhi—NCH’s maps were too big. He had wandered around for half an hour without finding him, so he just had to hope to bump into him.


He didn’t expect to actually see him.


Xiang Huaizhi was leading Chunxiao and standing in the lower left corner of the map.


At that moment, Jing Huan was just thinking about how to enter the 2v2 arena when two friend messages flew over.


[Friend] Qiufeng: Xiao Tianjing, do you want to get some points?


[Friend] Long Road Ahead: Xiao Jingjing, let’s go! Ge will take you to fight against your husband!
