Guide on How to Fail at Online Dating

Chapter 47 - Gege, what day should our wedding be?

Edited by Divetus

Although the character “Xiang” was easier than the character “Jing”, for Jing Huan, who had a hard time with these kinds of drawings, it had been very difficult. In addition, afraid that it would look too simple, he had also made the center letter of the word “Xiang” into a heart.

Anyway, no matter how he looked at it now, it looked great!

Yet, the fireworks had been set off half a minute ago, but the other person in the team still hadn’t responded at all.

Jing Huan raised his eyebrows and asked hesitantly, “Gege, do you not like it?”

This was your daddy’s whole afternoon of blood, sweat, and tears!

If you dare to say “don’t like it”, I’ll fucking…

Jing Huan picked up the milk tea at his side and took a sip.

… I can’t fucking do anything about it.

I’ll just have to think of another way.

“Beautiful.” Xiang Huaizhi said, “Because of this, you’ve been afking under the Temple of Heaven all afternoon?”

Jing Huan replied, “Yeah… How did you know I was afking there?”

Xiang Huaizhi paused then said, “Saw you.”

Seeing Xiang Huaizhi talking to Xiao Tianjing, Lu Hang immediately ran up, grabbed the earphone hanging to one side of Xiang Huaizhi, put it on, and asked, “Xiao Jingjing, you’ve made something so awesome! Do you have any saved fireworks templates? Send me one?”

Jing Huan was stunned. “Ah, don’t have anyyy.”

He had created everything based on screenshots of that afternoon’s fireworks, carefully placing one flower after another.

“Then can you send me a screenshot? I’ll save it to use later.” Lu Hang asked with a smile.

Jing Huan responded, “OK, I’ll send you it on WeChat ba.”

“OK, good teammate!” Lu Hang asked, “But you doing this, Qiufeng…” Does he know?

Before Lu Hang finished speaking, the earphone was plucked off. Xiang Huaizhi took out a tissue and wiped the earphone with it, and only then put it back on slowly. “If you don’t finish running the quests, don’t think about killing the God of War over the weekend.”

Lu Hang was angered half to death by his actions. “I wash my ears every day! They’re so clean I could die! Who are you being disgusted with?! ”

“You.”

“…”

Lu Hang sat back at his desk with a face full of resentment. Soon, Jing Huan sent a picture of the fireworks to his WeChat. Because it was casually taken, it also included his and Yearning For’s characters in the picture.

After sending the photo to Lu Hang, Jing Huan dragged his mouse, and the little fox fairy twirled around the man in the black robe.

Xiang Huaizhi had wanted to say something when the game interface popped up a prompt.

[Xiao Tianjing wants to hug you. Yes, No. ]

There were many kinds of character actions in NCH, including single player actions and multiplayer actions. As a MMO game, the number of multiplayer actions in the game was more than that of single player actions. Hugging was one of the multiplayer actions.

Jing Huan was idle and bored, just clicking around randomly. In the afternoon, he had looked at a few fireworks posts, and in all the screenshots of the game, the male and female subjects all stuck extremely close together, each positioning more intimate than the next.

After a few seconds of no response, he wanted to cancel the invitation.

His mouse had just moved to the word “Cancel” when the invitation interface suddenly disappeared.

Only to see the little fox fairy standing on the heart in the middle of the character “Xiang”, hands close to her chest, coyly and cautiously leaning against the man in the black robe. In a romance novel young damsel move, her leg was popped behind her, and her tail was raised up high.

Yearning For’s hand stopped at his waist.

[You gently lean into the arms of Yearning For. ]

Jinghuan: “?”

Jinghuan: “!!!”

Jing Huan took a quick screenshot and rolled around laughing in his heart——

Wait until you’ve succumbed to daddy’s charms, and I will post this picture! Everywhere! Send it to your house! You’ll be so angry you can’t die!

After screenshotting the scene, Jing Huan licked his lips and sent another invitation.

[You have sent a princess carry invitation to Yearning For. ]

Ten seconds later, Yearning For bent down and picked up the little fox fairy.

The little fox fairy buried her head into the other’s chest, and her tail swished back and forth around them.

[You have sent an piggy-back invitation to Yearning For. ]

After a moment, Yearning For squatted down, and the little fox fairy was wreathed in smiles as she joyfully climbed onto his back.

[You have sent a kiss invitation to Yearning For. ]

Two seconds later.

[Yearning For has rejected your invitation to kiss. ]

[current] Xiao Tianjing: …

[current] Xiao Tianjing: QAQ uwuwuwuwuwu!

At this time, if Lu Hang had looked back, he would’ve discovered that his very close roommate had been newly enlightened about some aspects of NCH’s gameplay.

But he didn’t. He was seriously studying the firework merchants under the Temple of Heaven.

He had assembled his own fireworks before. To be honest, the firework diagram that had circulated for many years in the forum had been originally created by him. Because of his experience, what took Jing Huan a whole afternoon to finish piecing together, he finished in less than 20 minutes.

He took a screenshot of the template and sent it to the guild chat to benefit the general public.

Fluttering Firefly: Got it, thank you lord.

Don’t Ask when I’ll Return: Eh, isn’t this the fireworks picture that Guild Officer sent today? I went to Guild Officer to ask for a template, but Guild Officer told me that he hadn’t saved it! @Qiufeng

Long Road Ahead: I made it out of Xiao Jingjing’s screenshots [proud]

Don’t Ask when I’ll Return: Awesome, but this heart looks a bit different than Guild Officer’s?

Long Road Ahead: Really? Maybe Xiao Jingjing modified it herself a little?

Don’t Ask when I’ll Return: What do you mean [surprise]. You don’t mean that Xiao Tianjing actually also made some fireworks as a return gift?

Long Road Ahead: [picture]

The guild was quiet for a few seconds.

Peachy Fate: ?! Am I seeing right? Why is the picture of Xiao Tianjing and Yearning For?

Is Gege Big: You’re seeing right…

Affectionate in Silence: We dare not say anything, we dare not ask.

Don’t Ask when I’ll Return: @Xiao Tianjing what’s the situation hahaha?

Jing Huan was persistently sending invitations to Yearning For. Kissing him was rejected, kissing his neck was rejected, even kissing his face, Yearning For rejected it all!!

He snorted. What’s wrong, was getting an in-game kiss taking advantage of you?!

He was thinking about saying a few spoiled words, when the bottom right of his screen popped up with WeChat notifications.

Xiao Tianjing: Ah, what’s the matter? 0.0

Don’t Ask when I’ll Return: You actually set off fireworks in the guild scene with Yearning For!

Xiao Tianjing: (/ / / V / / /) En? We’ve been found out la, the guild’s scenery is kinda prettier.

Meatbun Dudu: Is it prettier than the scenery of the Moon Palace [funny]

Peachy Fate: We actually thought you and Guild Officer were going to get married. [shuts up]

Xiao Tianjing: Ah, I really want to marry Gege, but he still refuses to accept me >.<

Peachy Fate: …

Peachy Fate: I'm talking about Guild Officer Qiufeng

Xiao Tianjing:?!

Xiao Tianjing: How can I marry someone else?! [frightened face] Qiufeng and I are friends la!

Qiufeng: Holding a friend card while passing by.

Peachy Fate: 23333

Don’t Ask when I’ll Return: Guild Officer, this way isn’t working.

Qiufeng: Well, the revolution hasn’t been successful, still need to work hard.

The group became active again. Xiang Huaizhi glanced through a few lines of the chat before looking back at the game, only to find that the fireworks on the ground had disappeared.

He assembled a team. “Into the team.”

Jing Huan returned to his senses and jumped into his team.

He had just wanted to ask him what they were going to do, when he saw Xiang Huaizhi leading him to the side of the guild cart driver, and the two of them were taken to the guild treasury.

[Guild Announcement: Yearning For has “commandeered the guild scene for 20 minutes”, and has paid 40 gold of guild fees to the guild. ]

The guild channel immediately flashed out a whole new mass of question marks.

Jing Huan was also taken aback, but before he could react, he was brought back to the main city by Yearning For.

[Yearning For gives you gem x1]

Jing Huan looked at the items in his inventory. “Gege?”

“Equip it, and in the future, heal more in the arena,” Xiang Huaizhi replied.

The higher the grade of the gem, the more expensive it was. If converted to RMB, this grade 10 gem had to be around four figures.

Jing Huan hesitated but still accepted. “Okay.”

For every five gems equipped, the basic attributes of the equipment would randomly improve. After Jing Huan equipped the gem, he showed off the ring in the team.

“Gege, it burst through to the highest attribute!” He said excitedly.

Xiang Huaizhi clicked on the ring, and it really had the highest attribute. “En.”

“Thank you, Gege.” Jing Huan skillfully sent a kiss. “Gege mua~”

“…” Xiang Huaizhi said stiffly after a moment, “Don’t kiss whenever.”

Doing this for the second time, Jing Huan had no shame at all.

“What’s the matter? After all, I don’t kiss anyone else.” He paused for a bit, “Or is it that my kissing doesn’t sound good?”

It’s not that it didn’t sound good.

Xiang Huaizhi’s expression shifted a bit. After a while, he said, “The arena is about to open. Go and try out the ring.”

“Okay,” Jing Huan, coasting on his success, said with a puzzled expression, “But Gege, don’t you have something to do today, so you can’t play in the arena?”

?

Did he say that?

Xiang Huaizhi thought back… It seemed like he had said something like that.

“It’s not urgent,” Xiang Huaizhi said after a pause, “Still have time to play two rounds.”

“If you quit the arena halfway, you’ll lose points ah. Forget it la.” Jing Huan thought for a moment. “Gege, why don’t we go to the challenge platform to fight 1v1?”

The challenge platform was at the center of the main city. Players standing in the challenge platform could duel at will. Victory or defeat would not have any impact.

Xiang Huaizhi responded, “Alright.”

Jing Huan flattened his voice, “But Gege is so fierce. Will he kill me with one stroke?”

Xiang Huaizhi replied, “Won’t.”

They soon arrived at the challenge platform, and since it was arena battle time, there were few people in the challenge platform.

Jing Huan had long wanted to PK against Xiang Huaizhi. After all, only by fighting him one on one could he really understand the strength of the other party.

Xiang Huaizhi was dragged into the battle scene as soon as he disbanded the team.

[Xiao Tianjing has launched a PK contest with you. ]

Jing Huan finally knew why Yearning For had said “Won’t” before.

A man in a black robe stood quietly opposite him, holding a long white sword in his hand. The sword was extremely ordinary, just a common grade equipment.

Yearning For had taken off his divine artifact.

Fuck! This slag man was looking down on him?!

[Current] Xiao Tianjing: QAQ wuwuwu Gege’s too goooood.

Xiang Huaizhi didn’t respond, lifting up his sword and rushing up to him.

At the same time, in the guild WeChat group.

Chunxiao: Someone come to the arena for 2v2, I lost a healer.

Qiufeng: What about your wife?

Chunxiao: Out having fun. The best would be a mage with good control who can maneuver well.

Chunxiao often got matched up against Yearning For’s team recently. She and Regardless of Lovesickness didn’t have any control over them, and they basically hadn’t won even once

Is Gege Big: Deputy leader, take me ah! God Xiang isn’t playing arena tonight, so we can explode with violence. No one can stop us!

Chunxiao: How do you know he’s not fighting today?

Is Gege Big: I just passed the challenge platform and saw him and Xiao Tianjing playing 1v1, and asked around.

Challenge platform? 1V1?

Chunxiao frowned. She remembered that Yearning For never went to the challenge platform.

She thought for a moment, then controlled her character to go to the challenge platform.

There were many people standing at the challenge platform at this time. It was much livelier than usual. They were all watching the battle.

When Chunxiao entered the viewing interface, she saw Xiao Tianjing being cut down on the ground. Her fox tail trembled pitifully on the ground, and then there was no more movement. Only her summoning beast, the nine-tailed fairy fox, was still standing on the ground.

Yearning For held a common grade longsword and quietly stood by her side.

[Current] Xiao Tianjing: …

[Current] Xiao Tianjing: Since Gege has won me, I can only promise myself to him [wiping tears]

[Current] Yearning For: ?

[current] Xiao Tianjing: I was competing for marriage ne. Now with so many people are here, they’re just in time to witness for us. I’m willing to forfeit and lose. I’ll never cheat in this match. [shy]

[Current] Yearning For: …You didn’t say that before.

[Current] Xiao Tianjing: There’s no difference in saying it now.

[Current] Xiao Tianjing: Gege, what day should our wedding be? Whose family will hold the wedding? Do you like baby boys or baby girls?

It seemed that the competition for marriage was already over.

As Chunxiao was about to quit the scene, she saw Yearning For suddenly put his sword back onto his back, recall the summoning beast, and then turn around — running away from the PK scene without turning back.
