Chapter 97 - But now that he’d killed him, his heart didn’t feel that happy.

Jing Huan didn’t hesitate.


Lu Hang’s team invitation shot over and he agreed, jumping into his team before typing a response back to Qiufeng.


[Friend] Xiao Tianjing: Nah, I already made an arrangement with Long Road Ahead.


[Friend] Qiufeng: [sobbing] No, you didn’t. Long Road Ahead was just looking for someone in the group chat to play 2V2 with.


[Friend] Xiao Tianjing: Alright ba, it’s me not wanting to give away points with you.


[Friend] Qiufeng: ?? Long Road Ahead is also a warlock ah!


[Friend] Xiao Tianjing: I’m afraid Gege will see and try to kill you again.


[Friend] Qiufeng: ?


[Friend] Qiufeng: [wiping tears] You’re actually thinking for my benefit… I’m so moved.


[Friend] Qiufeng: But it’s fine, as long as he doesn’t use an immortal binding cable, I can run away. You don’t have to feel so guilty.


[Friend] Xiao Tianjing: Killing people is a waste of Gege’s equipment durability, forget it la.


[Friend] Qiufeng: ?


[Friend] Qiufeng: ???


[Friend] Qiufeng: Leaving now.


Jing Huan looked at the chat and laughed a little.


I don’t know what I’m talking about.


Even if I teamed up with you for a month in the arena now, Yearning For wouldn’t try to kill you.


As he laughed, he also felt quite sour, so Jing Huan closed the chat and began to check his equipment’s durability.


“Xiao Jingjing, what kind of combo should we do when we play soon ah?” Lu Hang’s voice came out from his headphones. “We’re short on DPS, so we should start out with the DPS baby ba.”


After Lu Hang’s words, there was a vague sound. “Understood.”


Jing Huan immediately held his breath but didn’t hear the next sentence.


“Xiao Jingjing?” After a while, Lu Hang puzzledly asked, “Are you there?”


“Ah, I’m here.” Jing Huan said as he snapped out of it. “I know, I’ll bring her out.”


“Nice. Although we don’t have enough DPS, we can still CC the other side to death. Most of them will run.”


The CC + Support pair was used to disgust people. Teams with low DPS or poor movement could only run, or waste their time being stuck in place and pummeled until they were killed off.


Only, at their rank, there weren’t many noobs so most of the players would choose to slowly play it out. In the end, the winners and losers would be hard to determine, using him and Qiufeng as a previous example.


Jing Huan answered “en” and asked, “Lu Ge, what about the physical DPS that usually plays with you?”


“He’s gone on vacation abroad and doesn’t have any free time for now. I’ve been playing with Chichi for a whole week now… Can you pay attention to your teammates,” Lu Hang joked, “And, Chichi’s power got cut off today. Why do you ask, do you dislike this bad warlock ah?


“How could that be?” Jing Huan replied.


“Don’t worry, although I’m not as strong as your husband, compared to Qiufeng, I’m still a bit more powerful.” Lu Hang vowed, “Just entrust all your points to me tonight ba.”


[Congratulations, Don’t Ask when I’ll Return and Peachy Fate defeated Long Road Ahead and Xiao Tianjing to achieve three consecutive victories!]


[Congratulations, Wind By the Ear and Cloud in the Heart defeated Long Road Ahead and Xiao Tianjing to achieve two consecutive victories!]


[Congratulations, Fog and Sound of Rain defeated Long Road Ahead and Xiao Tianjing to achieve two consecutive victories!]


Xiang Huaizhi: “&#k2026;”


Xiang Huaizhi was originally listening to Chunxiao explain the battle tactics, but as he saw the system’s new battle announcements, he couldn’t help taking off one side of his earphones. “Qiufeng has possessed you, so you’re also holding a charity dinner tonight?”


Lu Hang was also very angry.


“Fuck! Do you think I want to? My keyboard keys aren’t working properly, and I’ve tried pressing the key three or four times. I’ve changed the key mapping but it’s not easy to operate with.” After complaining, Lu Hang turned on his mic and said, “Xiao Jingjing, I’m sorry ah, I’m having problems with my keyboard tonight so I’ve dragged you down.”


“Ah? It’s okay,” Jing Huan continued to take potions. “In fact, you can try not using combo moves, just use a single seal. If the seal goes away, just do it again, you don’t need to overlap them.”


Lu Hang also knew that, but he couldn’t help trying when he had a chance. “Forget it, should we just disband ba? I think if we keep fighting like this we’ll lose anyway.”


“Don’t…” Jing Huan just saw Yearning For’s winning streak and asked, “You don’t want to fight anymore?”


“I’m all right, but I’m afraid of trapping you.”


“You won’t,” Jing Huan hesitated then said, “What if we win the next round?”


Lu Hang laughed, “Well… Let’s keep going then.”


As soon as his voice fell, they cut to a new opponent.


Jing Huan was originally a little sleepy from losing, but after seeing the people standing opposite of them, all his sleepiness suddenly flew three miles away.


[Current] Long Road Ahead: ???


[Current] Chunxiao: ….


Chunxiao looked at Xiao Tianjing, who was standing opposite of them, and opened her mic to ask the team, “Run?”


It was quite normal for couples to run away from another in the arena, of course, with the permission of their teammates. However, high-ranked players in the server were so familiar with each other that they didn’t even have to discuss it. Generally, they would still take the initiative to ask though. She had also given her wife a lot of points before.


Chunxiao’s mouse had already been moved to the escape key.


Lu Hang also shouted in the dormitory, “Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up! Give me some points! If I lose again, I’ll have lost four times in a row!”


Before Jing Huan could recollect himself, he heard an indistinct and deep voice from the other end of the headphones. “Not running.”


After Xiang Huaizhi finished talking, he switched his sword into a long saber. “Wasn’t your attack method aimed at high-speed players? Give me some buffs.”


Chunxiao froze but then quickly reacted, putting a protection skill on Xiang Huaizhi.


Jing Huan was stabbed twice and was reminded by Lu Hang to hide.


He didn’t know what was going on inside him, but the sect that he had played for several months now seemed unfamiliar. He just numbly ducked to avoid attacks, but of course, he couldn’t avoid all of them. It wasn’t long before Yearning For had cut through half his health.


“Jingjing, put out a net for him!” Lu Hang commanded.


“Okay.”


Before the spider web could hit Yearning For, Chunxiao immediately put a red lotus above Yearning For’s head. This was a healer’s buff skill, the more the target used basic auto attacks, the higher the attack buff from the red lotus.


Holding his saber, Yearning For hit Xiao Tianjing 13 times in a row. In fact, at the 12th hit, the little fox fairy had already fallen to the ground, but because of the game settings, she still stood up with an empty health bar and took the 13th blow.


Jing Huan stared at the little fox fairy’s curled-up tail for a long time.


“Fuck me…” Lu Hang couldn’t help questioning the person behind him, “This is your wife, and you still couldn’t stay your hand? Murdering your own dear wife ah? Not letting us go is fine, but you still lashed her into a corpse… Overkill ah.”


“I’m just playing in the arena,” Xiang Huaizhi said.


Lu Hang: “…”


Five minutes later, the system prompted—[Congratulations, Chunxiao and Yearning For defeated Long Road Ahead and Xiao Tianjing to achieve seven consecutive victories!]


[Arena] Small Octopus: ? I had to read this prompt twice because I thought I read it wrong at first.


[Arena] Listening to the Rain: These two should still be in their honeymoon period ba, God Xiang actually still didn’t just give away the points?


[Arena] Lose 20 Jin: Not everyone likes to do that.Also, who stipulated that only men can give points to women and not the other way around? Maybe it’s Xiao Tianjing who’s giving God Xiang some points? ?



When the battle was over, the interface switched back to the arena.


Xiang Huaizhi lowered his eyes and looked at the team next to him.


The little fox fairy stood motionless behind the warlock, he couldn’t tell if they were talking in team chat.


Xiang Huaizhi had been tricked for so long, and it was impossible to say that he had no temper.


It wasn’t necessary to take action in real life, but it was impossible to continue to play the role of an affectionate couple in the game. He wasn’t interested in doing so and also wasn’t that generous.


But now that he’d killed him, his heart didn’t feel that happy.


To be exact, he wasn’t happy at all.


“The combo experiment is over ba.” He asked.


Chunxiao said, “En, thank you.”


“No problem, leaving now.”


Throwing this sentence out, Xiang Huaizhi left the team and flew away from the arena. He afked near the transporter and got up to walk towards the balcony.


“You’re not fighting anymore la?” Lu Hang paused, “Where are you going ah, the balcony is so cold.”


“Looking at scenery.”


“…”


It hadn’t snowed these past few days, but the temperature was still very low. A cold wind blew outside, and it was freezing.


Xiang Huaizhi silently stood on the balcony for a while, absent-mindedly turning his cellphone over and over in his hands. He only came back inside after a long time, carrying the cold chill with him.


“Crap, it’s so cold, close the door quickly,” Lu Hang was only wearing a single layer and was shivering from thecold. “Do you want to murder your roommate?”


Xiang Huaizhi closed the balcony door, glanced at his computer screen, and paused. “Is the arena over?”


“No ah, there’s still half an hour left,” Lu Hang said. “Xiao Jingjing said that she had to do something and needed to go out, so she stopped fighting early.”


Lu Hang was muttering behind him, but Xiang Huaizhi said nothing else to him. He sat back down in front of the computer and in one glance saw Xiao Tianjing amidst the crowd.


Xiao Tianjing was standing in the bottom right corner of his screen, hidden behind a stall. Even his title was blocked by the stall name so if you didn’t look carefully, you wouldn’t have seen him.


Xiang Huaizhi suddenly had a very strange thought.


He moved the mouse and controlled his character to run two steps to the left, out of Xiao Tianjing’s sight range.


Ten seconds later, Xiao Tianjing swayed her tail and carefully walked two steps forward. The distance between them was now the same as before.


Is this what he meant by “have something to do and need to go out”?


Xiang Huaizhi leaned back, grabbed the book next to his hand and turned over two pages without even reading more than a few words.


Until Lu Hang’s voice sounded from behind. “What are you doing afking near the arena? Have you finished your dailies today?”


After that, Xiang Huaizhi closed the book, tossed out the sentence “not done yet”, and used a skill to fly back to his sect.


He felt like he was a little crazy, wasting his time afking with his ex-husband here.



The next day, Jing Huan sat in class, adding and subtracting with his cellphone calculator… No, there was no subtraction, only addition.


Lu Wenhao leaned on his arm, looked at it for a long time, and finally asked curiously, “What are you calculating?”


Jing Huan didn’t even raise his head. “Debt.”


Lu Wenhao was shocked and looked at the number on the calculator before looking at Jing Huan. “You didn’t ba… Where did you borrow from? Online loan?? Such a small sum, you don’t need to calculate it ba?”


Jing Huan replied, “No, I’m not sure how much.”


After he finished his calculations, he opened WeChat to send a message.


Xiao Jing ya: Can you give me your card number?


Five minutes later, the opposite side sent a bank card number with no extra words.


After he sent the money over, Jing Huan felt a bit relieved, as if he owed Xiang Huaizhi a little less.


In fact, when he caught up to Xiang Huaizhi yesterday, the sentence, “I like you” had already been on the tip of his tongue—it just got blocked by Xiang Huaizhi’s divorce request.


At that moment, several thoughts floated into his mind.


At least… He had to fill up all the holes before he was in a position to say anything about liking or not liking ba.


After class, Lu Wenhao massaged his own shoulder. “I’ve been studying hard for so long that my bones are all loose. Shall we go to the gym to play ball?”


“Okay ah,” Gao Zixiang turned his head. “Huanhuan, are you coming?”


Jing Huan’s cellphone gently vibrated before he could speak.


Little Road Little Road Certainly Wouldn’t Get Lost: Xiao Jingjing, you guys do your instances on your own today ha. I have a class, and Xiangxiang went to the library. No need to wait for us.


“Huanhuan?” Seeing that he didn’t respond, Lu Wenhao urged him, “Let’s go ah, to play ball.”


Jing Huan put away his cellphone. “I’m not coming.”


“What are you going to do then, study some more?”


“No,” Jing Huan licked his lips. “Want to go to the library.”


Lu Wenhao was speechless. “Isn’t that still studying?”


“Let’s count it as that ba… Leaving now.”


Jing Huan took his books to the library and thought, I’ll just go take a look.


Just one look.



Juurensha: Huanhuan, get your man!
