After that, I didn't log into the game for several days.
On the surface, it seems that it’s just because I’m too busy and don’t have time to play games, but the real reason is that I can’t deceive myself even if I want to -
Whenever I see the icon of "Fantasy Jianghu", I will think of Du Yexing, and also think of the scene when he and Mu Jinhuakai fought side by side in the Tiancheng battle - the assassin was cool and handsome, the female knight was unparalleled in elegance, the two of them cooperated tacitly, and they were a perfect match. That scene deeply shocked me, and I couldn't help but feel ashamed - only masters like Mu Jinhuakai who are worthy of Du Yexing, a rookie like me, should just hide in the corner and grow my cabbage and radishes.
"Xiaotong, what's wrong with you recently?"
One day after class, Ye Kexin suddenly asked me, "Why are you always sighing these days?"
"Really?" I was surprised - it couldn't be that obvious?
"Of course! And you look listless, just like..." Ye Kexin thought for a moment, then snapped her fingers neatly, "like a resentful woman whose husband was kidnapped!"
I twitched the corner of my mouth and said expressionlessly: "Dear classmate Ye, I have to say that you have a very rich imagination!"
Ye Kexin shrugged and said nothing. She looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so she came closer with an ambiguous smile on her face. I immediately became alert - every time this girl showed this expression, it meant that her gossip skills were about to be fully unleashed.
"Xiaotong, let me ask you, why haven't you seen Han Yebin come to see you recently?"
My heart ached for no apparent reason, but my expression remained impeccably calm: "He came to me before just to help me shoot a class video. Now that the video is finished, he will naturally not come again."
"Is that all?" Ye Kexin stared at me suspiciously, as if trying to find some clues from my face.
"That's all!" I concluded firmly, with a stern expression like a female hero who is ready to sacrifice her own relatives for the sake of justice.
"Is that so..." Ye Kexin finally gave up. She pouted and sighed softly, "What a pity. I always thought Han Yebin came to see you because he liked you."
I almost choked on my saliva. Ye Kexin's expression was as if she had seen a ghost: "Student Ye, I have to say it again, your imagination is so rich that it amazes me!"
"It's not imagination, it's intuition!" Ye Kexin shook her head and announced proudly, "The intuition of love!"
I stared at her awkwardly for a while and asked, "Have you ever been in love?"
Ye Kexin shook her head happily.
"What kind of intuition do you have?" I sneered. "The paper theory is the most unreliable!"
Faced with my doubts, Ye Kexin was not discouraged. She just looked at me, chuckled a few times, and suddenly said something.
"Since you don't trust my best friend's intuition, then my rival's intuition must be right, right?"
"ah?"
Before I could react, she pulled out the chair and shoved me under the desk.
"Hey!" I was startled by being suddenly squeezed into such a small space. "What do you want to do?"
"Hide under there! Don't make any noise!" Ye Kexin said in a tone that would not tolerate any negotiation. Seeing how persistent she was, I could only follow her instructions and hide under the desk. Ye Kexin rearranged the chair and then turned around and shouted.
"Xu Wenfeng! Come here!"
Xu Wenfeng ran over immediately: "What's wrong? What do you want from me?"
Ye Kexin chuckled, leaned close to Xu Wenfeng's ear, and spoke in a voice that I could just hear.
"Xu Wenfeng, I heard that Han Yebin confessed to Ling Jiantong!"
I almost jumped up from under the table, and Xu Wenfeng's reaction was even more intense.
“What?” He looked like someone whose tail had been stepped on, and shouted angrily, “Sure enough! I said that the way that boy looked at Xiaotong was not right!”
When Ye Kexin sent the noisy Xu Wenfeng away and pulled me up from under the table, she looked very proud and spread her hands to me: "See, I was right, wasn't I?"
I felt myself blushing, but I still stiffened my neck and pretended to be tough: "I still don't believe it. The person Han Yebin likes is obviously An Mujin. He even confessed to her so publicly."
Ye Kexin was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened: "Huh? Don't you know that An Mujin is already with Qiao Luoyu?"
"Ah?" I opened my mouth wide, "Are you sure?"
As one of the top ten school idols, Qiao Luoyu is also a celebrity in the school. However, he is not famous for his handsome appearance, but for his speechless "narcissism" - it is said that he looks in the mirror more than ten times a day, and carries a small comb with him, combing his hair wherever he goes, saying that "a perfect hairstyle is the meaning of my existence." Because of his "narcissistic attribute", everyone privately calls him "Narcissus Man".
"Why would An Mujin choose him?" I still couldn't believe it, and felt that my worldview was about to be overturned. "Even if Qiao Luoyu is indeed much more handsome than Han Yebin, his reputation... is really not that good!"
"Who knows? Maybe school beauty An is just like this?" Ye Kexin paused and said, "But there are many rumors about this. The most reliable one so far is that An Mujin wanted to take revenge on Han Yebin, so she found a flower protector to anger him."
"Ah? Revenge?" I thought I must be hallucinating. "What's going on? Aren't you writing a novel?"
Ye Kexin shook her finger and said in a condescending manner, "Think about it, if Han Yebin really liked An Mujin, why would he ignore An Mujin even if you messed up the confession scene? Why would he still pursue her to the end!"
I was lost in thought.
"So there is only one answer. Han Yebin doesn't like An Mujin at all." Ye Kexin said confidently, "And according to reliable information, Han Yebin later admitted to his friends that he confessed to An Mujin simply because he was bored, and then he found it meaningless and stopped pursuing her."
With Han Yebin's character, he is indeed capable of doing such a wicked thing... But this guy really deserves a beating! He deserves to be retaliated!
It took me a whole day to digest Ye Kexin's revelations. After school, I stayed in the classroom to clean up because I had to do my duty. After everything was done, I went to close the window before leaving. I accidentally looked downstairs and saw a familiar figure.
Huh? I was surprised: Is it him?
The boy standing downstairs, pacing back and forth, as if waiting for someone, was Han Yebin. As far as I know, my brother is going to give special training to the members of the Mathematical Olympiad class today. Han Yebin should be receiving special training at this time, so why is he here? Besides, it has been a long time since school ended, and there are not many people left in the teaching building. Who would he be waiting for?
The answer was soon revealed.
When I locked the classroom door and was about to go downstairs, I happened to see a slender figure walking out of the next class. She had long hair and a fair face, and even her ordinary walk had a light charm - this person was undoubtedly An Mujin. She didn't notice me, and turned around and went down the stairs, humming a song, looking very happy. Looking at her excited back, an idea suddenly popped up in my mind - could it be that the person Han Yebin was waiting for was An Mujin?
For some unknown reason, I lowered my footsteps and quietly followed An Mujin. She walked to the entrance of the teaching building, stood there and looked around for a while, then walked towards Han Yebin.
Sure enough - I heard a sigh from a corner of my heart - the person she wanted to meet was indeed Han Yebin.
My mood suddenly became low, and I stopped sneaking around and walked out of the teaching building, ready to go home. But not long after I left, I looked up and saw Qiao Luoyu running towards me from the other direction.
"Mu Jin!" He waved from a distance, and An Mu Jin stopped at the right time, watched him run to her, and then smiled elegantly.
"Wait a moment!" Before An Mujin could speak, Qiao Luoyu suddenly made a "STOP" gesture and quickly took out a small mirror and a small comb from his clothes. He used his index finger to curl up his hair, which was slightly messy from running, and spent three minutes tidying up his hair, which was slightly messy from running, and then happily put away the mirror and comb.
"Okay!" Qiao Luoyu raised the corner of his mouth and showed his white teeth to An Mujin, "Let's go, I'll take you home."
I swear I saw the corners of An Mujin's mouth twitched twice, but a lady is a lady. An Mujin quickly regained her composure and smiled sweetly at Qiao Luoyu.
"good."
Then I saw a scene that almost made my eyes pop out—An Mujin stretched out her hand, Qiao Luoyu took her arm attentively, and the two of them snuggled together like a couple and walked forward...
Han Yebin was still pacing not far away. When he turned around, he saw An Mujin and Qiao Luoyu walking towards him sweetly, and he was also stunned. When the rivals met, they were particularly jealous. When Qiao Luoyu saw Han Yebin, instead of avoiding him, he took An Mujin's arm and walked directly in front of Han Yebin.
"Hi, handsome Han, what a coincidence." Qiao Luoyu smiled proudly and said in a sarcastic tone.
"Classmate Han Yebin..." An Mujin behaved very appropriately, her smile still friendly, "Are you waiting for someone here?"
"Yeah." Han Yebin nodded to An Mujin lightly, then turned his head away and ignored Qiao Luoyu who was as proud as a rooster. How could Qiao Luoyu, who was as narcissistic as him, tolerate being ignored? He immediately glared and pulled An Mujin to Han Yebin again.
Han Yebin frowned slightly, and Qiao Luoyu deliberately said in a provocative voice: "Han Yebin, what's the matter, you don't dare to talk to me?"
Without waiting for Han Yebin's response, Qiao Luoyu lifted his bangs again, looking particularly arrogant with his chin raised. He said, "Yeah, I understand you. It's not your fault that you look worse than me, but it's embarrassing that you can't pursue the girl you like. Hahaha, you confessed so loudly before. So what if you are the number one genius in the academy? You are still defeated by me."
An Mujin gently pulled Qiao Luoyu's arm, obviously thinking that his words and actions were too arrogant. Han Yebin finally looked at Qiao Luoyu seriously, then sneered: "I'll give you a word of advice - it's not your fault that you're stupid, but it's not good to come out and disgust others."
"You!" Qiao Luoyu's face suddenly turned red with anger. He opened his mouth and suddenly pointed at Han Yebin's hand, shouting as if he had caught something, "Ha, you actually brought a gift? Are you trying to steal my girl? Let me tell you, Mu Jin is my girlfriend now, and she is devoted to me. It's too late for you to show your affection now!"
Only then did I notice that Han Yebin was holding a beautifully wrapped gift box in his hand. Everyone knows that Han Yebin's confession failed because he gave a tragic gift box. Now seeing Han Yebin waiting here with a gift box again, it's no wonder that Qiao Luoyu immediately thought that he was going to give An Mujin another gift.
When An Mujin saw the gift box, her eyes suddenly lit up. I could see clearly from behind that she quietly pulled out the hand that Qiao Luoyu was holding. Han Yebin didn't notice it. He just rolled his eyes impatiently and suddenly shouted at me.
"Hey! How long are you going to stand there and watch the show?"
An Mujin and Qiao Luoyu turned their heads at the same time, and three pairs of eyes shot at me with an embarrassed look on my face. After Qiao Luoyu saw me clearly, he pointed at me exaggeratedly and shouted.
"Ah! Is it that crazy girl who pursued Han Yebin so vigorously?"
I wanted to rush over and slap him in the face - how long ago were those rumors and gossips? It's amazing that this guy still remembers them so clearly! What a disgusting Narcissus man!
Perhaps this sentence triggered her memories, and An Mujin's face suddenly looked a little ugly, but Han Yebin seemed to have remembered something interesting, smiled slightly, and waved at me.
"Hey, what are you standing there for? Come here."
Not sure what he was up to, I walked over hesitantly, but Han Yebin suddenly took my hand and handed me the gift box.
"Here, this is for you."
I was stunned, and so were An Mujin and Qiao Luoyu. They looked at me, Han Yebin, and then at the beautifully wrapped gift box.
To be honest, Han Yebin gave me something, which shocked me but also made me a little happy. However, when I saw the gift box clearly, my scalp immediately went numb - why is this gift box exactly the same as the one I gave to An Mujin before?
"I, I haven't offended you recently, right?" I asked stutteringly.
Han Yebin didn't comment, but just smiled and urged: "Open it and take a look."
My face fell - the "tragedy" of An Mujin opening the gift box and getting hit by that big fist was still vivid in my mind. Could it be that Han Yebin was still brooding over that incident and wanted to take revenge on me?
"Ling Jiantong, why don't you open it and take a look." An Mujin suddenly interrupted, "I'm curious too."
I looked at An Mujin. She had a gentle smile on her face, and her bright eyes were filled with innocence and kindness, as if she was really curious about what was in the box. But if you look closely, you will find that An Mujin's smile did not even reach her eyes, which made me suspect whether she had colluded with Han Yebin to take revenge on me.
Alas! I sighed in my heart, every wrong has its perpetrator, since I have caused the trouble, I should bear the consequences myself!
I opened the gift box in a tragic manner, prepared myself for a punch, but after waiting for a long time with my eyes closed, there was no movement.
Huh?
I opened my eyes, looked at the gift box lying quietly in my hand, and immediately exclaimed.
"White ball?"
Han Yebin still looked at me with a smile, but An Mujin seemed surprised, and then looked at Han Yebin with an expression of disbelief.
Anyone who has played "Fantasy Jianghu" knows that "White Ball" is the nickname of a baby mythical beast in the game. Its real name is White Star Lion, and it is a very cute little mythical beast. My pet mythical beast is White Ball, but its level is too low. I usually don't want to let it out when I fight monsters, for fear that it will be slapped to death by those ferocious monsters.
"Is this for me?" I looked at Han Yebin in surprise. He smiled and nodded, and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Qiao Luoyu's exclamation.
"Hey! Are you going to confess your love to this nympho?"
I was embarrassed. This Narcissus man seemed to have just come to his senses after Han Yebin gave me a gift, and he started to say something shocking.
"Mr. Han, could it be that you were stimulated by your unsuccessful pursuit of An Mujin, so..."
Qiao Luoyu's voice suddenly seemed to be cut off. He looked in a certain direction behind Han Yebin, with a slightly surprised expression on his face.
"I don't want to bother with you, Mu Jin, let's go!" Qiao Luoyu said, and immediately ran away with An Mu Jin, who looked puzzled.
"Scared away?" Han Yebin looked at Qiao Luoyu who was running away and smiled lightly.
I didn't answer, but just looked behind Han Yebin, slowly opened my mouth, and then uttered a word with difficulty.
"elder brother……"
"oops!"
My voice and Han Yebin's cry of pain rang out at the same time. My brother slowly withdrew his fist, his voice as gloomy as his face.
"You're getting bolder and bolder, you dare to skip my class?"
"That's not called being lazy! I have finished all the questions you assigned!" Han Yebin hissed, rubbed his head, and refuted with confidence.
"Oh, really?" The brother glanced at Han Yebin, then adjusted his glasses with his hand, and suddenly showed a warm smile.
"You'll soon be overwhelmed."
"What do you want to do?...Ah! Let go! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and leave!"
The setting sun cast a black shadow on the ground, and a few crows flew through the sky, croaking. I stared with my mouth wide open as my brother dragged the "bad boy who skipped class" Han Yebin away. It took me a while to react, and I touched my chest and let out a sigh of relief.
"Sure enough, my brother is the most brutal creature in the world..."
I lowered my head, took the "white ball" out of the gift box, and saw a note underneath. The handwriting on it was still fresh, and the flying font was just like that person, proud and flamboyant.
"I completed some tasks, and the game company gave me a stupid doll as a gift, which is perfect for a stupid girl like you."
Humph, you are the fool.
I complained in my heart, and then hung the "white dumpling" on my schoolbag. The white dumpling stared with big round eyes, and its cute face smiled heartlessly, which really looked like the smile on my face...
