Qi Xun’s pupils dilated, and he anxiously stretched out his hand to grab Le Han. “Wait!”

But he was still a step late and caught nothing, seeing that the person on the bed had disappeared again.

Qi Xun was stunned. After he recovered, he gasped, clenched his hand, and hit the bed. He was a little annoyed.

He was angry and impulsive. As soon as the last sentence had come out, he had regretted it. The person on the bed was already gone. Qi Xun grabbed two strands of hair and gloomily sat down on the bed.

He had just let Gua Gua run away; what should he do now?

Qi Xun was just being petty and jealous.

He couldn’t bear the thought that if he hadn’t been the one who had lifted Gua Gua’s red veil in the Tie the Knot area, maybe he would have fallen in love with another man.

Qi Xun just wanted to hear Gua Gua say, “If the person who’d lifted my red veil wasn’t you, I wouldn’t like the other person.” Although he knew that this was meaningless, he just wanted to hear it! And shouldn’t the usual routine go like this? Did Gua Gua not know the standard answer in this kind of situation?

His requirements weren’t very high…

Qi Xun let out a breath full of depression.

Remembering the boy’s red eyes just now, he was really upset to death.

It was the first time he fell in love, and he also made the person he liked cry for the first time. His mood right now was really beyond words.

On one side, he was aggrieved because he was unhappy. On the other, he was anxious because he was worried about the other’s emotional state.

He covered his lips with a bad feeling in his heart.

The anger on top of his head faded, and he calmed down. Qi Xun realized that he was in an online game. If he really annoyed Gua Gua, it was possible for him to abandon the account directly.

Although he was uncomfortable with Gua Gua’s love history, how could he really have the intention of abandoning the account and leaving Gua Gua behind? But what about Gua Gua?

…Would Gua Gua leave him just like that?

Qi Xun was very upset.

He reflected on himself and finally waited for the other party to come online. How did he manage to make things like this?

How could he be so hypocritical?

…After Gua Gua calmed down, would he go online again?

With this thought in mind, Qi Xun waited in place. But it was late at night, dawn was approaching, and the owner of the hut didn’t appear again.

After Le Han took off his helmet, he pulled the quilt up to cover himself, but his mood was unstable, and he couldn’t fall asleep until dawn.

He thought about his past all night.

Most of the time, him being calm didn’t mean he didn’t feel wronged in his heart. All this time, he had been shielding all kinds of disharmonious interference from the outside world, working hard on himself and actively striving for what he wanted. Le Han felt that he was living a very… inspirational life, but in the end, he was looked down on by people he cared about just because it was easy for him to like someone.

He was so pissed off!

Asshole!

Asshole, asshole, asshole!

After Le Han angrily scolded, he became sad once more.

He was done with Zhan Ge.

The next day was Sunday. When Qiao Rui woke up and went to the toilet to brush his teeth, he was startled by the dark circles underneath Le Han’s eyes.

“What’s going on?” Qiao Rui’s brain turned quickly. “What happened to you and Brother Qi yesterday, ah ?”

“Nothing.” Le Han expressionlessly wiped his face and went out of the toilet.

Qiao Rui was also depressed. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have invited Le Han to the bar yesterday.

Qiao Rui thought about it and finally sent a WeChat to Zhou Yao. “Do you know what happened to Brother Qi and Le Han yesterday?”

Le Han sat down at his desk and took out his books and homework.

Another roommate passed behind him and was startled. He glanced at his phone and said, “Damn, you’re starting homework at 8 o’clock in the morning. Do you want to be so serious?”

Le Han didn’t look back. “Yes.”

Roommate: “…”

Le Han worked hard to focus on his homework, brushing the questions one by one at an unprecedented speed.

Qiao Rui carefully walked over and asked, “Han Han, what would you like for breakfast? I’ll bring it back for you.”

Le Han turned his back to him and dully said, “I have no appetite.”

“How can this work?” Qiao Rui frowned and said, “I’ll bring you something you can eat. Wait for me to come back.”

When Qiao Rui left, Le Han stopped writing and was in a daze.

After a while, his eyes became sour.

Le Han sniffed and paid more attention to his homework.

At this time, his mobile phone vibrated.

Le Han glanced at the screen and saw it was a message from the WeChat group of the Public Policy Department.

Someone was asking, “Will the board games start later?”

Although it was early in the morning, the message received many responses after it was sent. Someone @-ed Le Han because he didn’t go last time.

Le Han stared at the message for a while, stretched out his hand, and replied.

Some people in the group laughed. “The little social master is back in the arena, ah !”

Qi Xun didn’t sleep all night and waited until dawn in the hut. He was troubled and stiff as a piece of wood.

He didn’t know how much time had passed after hearing the system’s notification sound, and he moved. He slowly opened the control panel to see it was a message sent from Zhou Yao.

Zhou Yao: “Where are you?”

Qi Xun didn’t have the energy to say much and only asked, “What’s the matter?”

Zhou Yao: “I just received a message from Qiao Rui asking me what happened to you and his friend yesterday. Did you quarrel with his friend?”

Qi Xun dully thought of the boy in the bar last night, adding another layer of depression in his heart.

Was he possessed yesterday? Why did he offend people both inside and outside the game?

He replied, “I’ll talk to Qiao Rui.”

After replying, he looked at the empty hut again, slightly lowered his eyes in a depressed manner, and chose to go offline.

After waking up in reality, he took off his helmet, rubbed his eyes, picked up his cell phone, and called Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui quickly answered the call, “Brother Qi.”

Qi Xun paused and said, “Last night was my bad.”

He explained the matter briefly, without any concealment.

After listening, Qiao Rui was silent for a moment and said with a complicated tone, “Brother Qi, you—”

“I know,” Qi Xun said before Qiao Rui could finish his words. “Yesterday… it was me who offended him. Otherwise, give me your roommate’s number, and I’ll apologize to him myself.”

“I can give it to you, but Le Han… shouldn’t need you to do this,” Qiao Rui said.

Qi Xun’s mood became more complicated as soon as he heard this.

How to reconcile after offending someone?

Qiao Rui said, “Brother Qi, I know that you don’t like people who see one and love the other. Many people don’t like it, but everyone’s situation is different. Le Han is really not an annoying person. It’s easy for him to like others, but I think… this is because he is better at seeing the good side of others rather than seeing the bad side.”

Because he yearned for beautiful things, he would always see the beautiful side of others.

And beauty was always exciting.

“He is… very innocent. Most of the time, he just had a good feeling for others. If the other person is also interested, they may develop. But if the other side isn’t, he will only like the other person silently. He would never do anything to harass others.”

“I know,” Qi Xun said, “I can see that he is not that kind of person.”

“Also, although I haven’t talked with him about this matter, I think I know him well enough. If he were to get together with someone one day, he would never like other people easily.”

Qi Xun was in a daze, thinking of the young man in the game.

Qiao Rui said depressedly, “Hey… he must have been wronged yesterday.”

Qi Xun pursed his lips.

He said, “I’m sorry.”

But he knew that this ‘sorry’ shouldn’t be told to Qiao Rui.

When he hung up, Qi Xun’s heart felt a little empty.

Just like with Qiao Rui’s roommate, he didn’t know enough about Gua Gua. Even if it was easy for Gua Gua to like others, it wouldn’t be like in those dog blood TV series. He should’ve thought things clearly and should’ve had a good understanding of Gua Gua before exploding in anger.

After understanding, after calming down… maybe things would have been different.

After thinking about it, Qi Xun used his mobile phone to log in to the game and clicked on the dialog box to leave a message. “Gua Gua, I’m sorry. Come online; I’ll apologize to you again, okay?”

Although he knew that he wouldn’t receive a reply from Gua Gua so soon, Qi Xun still couldn’t help but send another message. “I couldn’t say what I really thought last night.”

Qi Xun: “Don’t be angry, okay?”

These messages were not delivered to Le Han’s phone at the moment.

A group of people gathered around a table in a board game shop near T University.

On the table lay a pile of overlapping building blocks. Many of the blocks had been removed, and the whole structure was crumbling.

Le Han held his breath and carefully pulled out one of the blocks in the middle. The pile of wood blocks moved slightly, but it didn’t fall. He cried excitedly, and the others wailed.

Le Han’s face was red, he was panting because of excitement, and his head was dizzy.

With a smile, he put down the block, and when he turned his head to talk to the person next to him, he met a pair of deep black eyes.

The owner of those black eyes was leaning against the wall as he quietly gazed at him.

Le Han froze.

“What is it, silly?” The person next to Le Han bumped him, followed his gaze, and exclaimed excitedly, “ Oh , Chairman He is here, ah . Come on, come on. Come and sit down.”

The face of the girl beside Le Han changed. She looked at Le Han and said in a low voice, “I didn’t know he would be coming today.”

The girl was close to Le Han. Although she didn’t know what conflict there was between Le Han and He Yiming, she knew that Le Han was at odds with the other.

Le Han’s thumb moved stiffly, and he had the urge to turn around and leave.

He just wanted to calm his mind. He didn’t want to meet this person right now!

The familiar scent came closer, and the man was already standing beside him.

Someone said, “Chairman He is here, why don’t we play German Heart Disease?”

He Yiming’s voice sounded next to Le Han, “Okay, ah .”

Everyone got up, packed up the blocks, and began to arrange the cards.

In the bustle, Le Han heard He Yiming whisper, “Have you calmed down? Can we have a good talk?”

As he listened to the man’s usually calm voice as if he had mastered the overall situation, Le Han, devoid of any expression, looked down and said in his heart:

Unfortunately, not only am I not calm right now, but I also want to kill someone, thank you!
