Guide on How to Fail at Online Dating - Chapter 13

The two healers in the team knew each other and were chatting happily, but as soon as Xiao Tianjing came in, they immediately muted themselves and fell silent.

Lu Hang, however, became interested: « Hey… how did you get her to come? »

Xiang Huaizhi was brief: « Just asked casually. »

Lu Hang enthusiastically crossed his legs.

[Team] Lu Tiaotiao: Good evening [blowing a kiss]

[Team] Lu Tiaotiao: Have you ever farmed the Water Spirit dungeon before?

[Team] Little Sweet Jing: No, I haven’t [shushing]

Jinghuan was telling the truth; he really hadn’t played. During the four years he was away from the game, Jiuxia added quite a few new dungeons, and « Water Demon Trouble » was one of them.

[Team] Little Sweet Jing: Is this dungeon very difficult?

[Team] Lu Tiaotiao: It’s the hardest dungeon, but actually not that bad. You can AFK through the small monsters in the front; it’s just the BOSS that’s hard to kill. The fragile characters can easily be wiped out in one attack.

[Team] Little Sweet Jing: Got it! [Patting head]

After finishing the celebration, Jing Huan casually opened a guide for the Water Demon and glanced through it roughly.

Just as Lu Tiaotiao said, the small monsters ahead are the Water Demon’s « battle intent, » not very threatening, but after death, they possess the Water Demon, making it stronger. Many players complained that it takes ten minutes to clear the small monsters but two hours to kill the boss.

Comments under other guides are only in the double digits, but the Water Demon dungeon has comments reaching four digits, mostly telling the game developers to go eat shit.

However difficult it is, it’s still just a dungeon. With five players working together on a quest character, it can be defeated. Not to mention a setup like Xin Xiang Wang Zhi; with this account in the team, even bringing four healers is manageable.

During the few minutes Jing Huan was looking at the strategy guide, everyone in the team was AFK, and no one spoke.

Only the two healers were complaining in private chat.

[Friend] LoveIsForYou: Why did Sweet Jing come? I don’t want to run the dungeon with her at all.

[Friend] Ji Xiaonian: I don’t know either. We already have two healers, what’s the point of her coming? Is she here to be a cheerleader? [eye roll]

[Friend] Love is Sharing with You: And she’s probably a transgender, look at how she talks, pretending so much…[Shut up]

[Friend] Ji Xiaonian: It shouldn’t be, someone has heard her voice, she’s a woman. Probably a real piece of work.

[Friend] Love is Sharing with You: Were those guys blind before? Never seen a woman? They could all be fooled like this.

[Friend] Ji Xiaonian: I heard from a friend that this account was taken over by someone else, the previous owner wasn’t as good at playing as she is.

[Friend] Love is about sharing: Not necessarily, if she wasn’t a liar, why would Idle Pavilion still be after her? Actually, her skills are just average. Last time, most of the Demon King battles were just luck + following the heart’s desire for positioning. Anyway, I don’t like her!

[Friend] Ji Xiaonian: Me too, with this kind of talk, I can take on ten people! Hey, wait, I just got an idea…

A girl’s kindness and hostility usually come out of nowhere. Jing Huan had no idea he had already made enemies in the team. He finished the rest of the popsicle in one bite and switched back to the game.

[Team] Little Sweet Jing: War God brother [peeking], have you eaten dinner?

Xiang Huaizhi glanced at the words and continued to look down, replying on WeChat.

Xiao Tianjing is looking for you. » Lu Hang couldn’t help but say when he saw this, « You’re too bad, what era is this still pretending to be offline?

« None of your business. » Xiang Huaizhi didn’t look up.

Lu Hang clicked his tongue twice and typed on the keyboard.

[Team] Lu Tiaotiao: He’s AFK watching a movie [shh]

[Team] Xiao Tianjing: Oh oh, how do you know? 0.0

[Team] Lu Tiaotiao: We share the same dorm room.

[Team] Xiao Tianjing: Ah, company dorm?

[Team] Lu Tiaotiao: No, it’s the student dormitory!

Student dormitory?

Jing Huan frowned in confusion. He remembered that Xian Mengmeng once said that Xin Xiang Wang Zhi is a thirty-year-old uncle?

…Could it be that he just looks older?

The friend message flashed, Jing Huan shook her head, temporarily setting aside her doubts.

[Friend] Energetic Little Mosquito: Whoa, little sister!

In the past few days, Jing Huan cleared out all her friends, leaving only Xin Xiang Wang Zhi and Energetic Little Mosquito; the former goes without saying, the latter…

The person is quite interesting, so keeping them around doesn’t hurt.

[Friend] Little Sweet Scene: [Confused]

[Friend] Energetic Little Mosquito Coil: You’re way too wild, aren’t you?

[Friend] Energetic Little Mosquito Coil: But it’s really awesome, big brother supports you! Don’t take it to heart! No matter what others say!

[Friend] Little Sweet Scene: …What are you talking about?

[Friend] Energetic Little Mosquito Coil: Your confession to the one you long for! I saw it all!

Jing Huan was confused.

He does want to confess, no doubt… but that’s still just part of the plan. With the way Xin Xiang Wang Zhi is acting now, only a madman would go confess.

[Friend] Sweet Jing: I didn’t confess to him [surprised], what did you see?

[Friend] Energetic Little Mosquito Coil: No way, you still don’t know?

[Friend] Energetic Little Mosquito Coil: [Share link: Xiao Tianjing’s heartfelt truth-telling session!]

Just seeing this title, Jinghuan already felt something was off.

He clicked on the video, and the moment he saw the conversation clearly, an indescribable awkwardness immediately sprouted from his feet and rushed straight to the top of his head!

Damn!!

How did his chat history with Xian Mengmeng end up here???!!!

Jing Huan was instantly dumbfounded, his scalp tingling from the bold things he said in the video.

The worst part was, this video was edited, only his words were kept, and all of Xian Mengmeng’s replies were cut out.

After a while, Jing Huan slightly came back to her senses and drank a sip of water, still shaken.

Stay calm, absolutely stay calm. This video only has a few hundred views at most, and most of them are probably just here for the spectacle. There might not even be many people in the game who know about it, let alone those who yearn for it.

He glanced at the game with a flicker of hope.

[Team] Lu Tiaotiao: How about you, little Sweet Jing? How old are you? Are you still in school?

[Team] Lu Tiaotiao: Hello?

[Team] Lu Tiaotiao: [Confused] Could it be that you ignore me because I’m not bad enough?

Jing Huan: « …….. »

Damn it!

I, the Killer Immortal, am so cute!!!

Xiang Huaizhi also saw this sentence. He frowned and said, « Are you bored or what? Why do you have to bring this up? »

Just teasing her… » Lu Hang said, « Don’t you think she’s quite interesting? Nowadays, the girls in games are all fierce, and their fights are like world wars. Someone as soft and cute as Jingjing is already a rare species. » Seeing that the little fox fairy remained silent, Lu Hang muttered, « Hey, wait, why did she log off halfway through the chat?

Of course Jing Huan didn’t log off; he simply got up from the computer desk and went to the bathroom to wash his face.

That video was so embarrassing, his cheeks were burning. Usually, when he was pretending to be a cute woman in front of the one he admired, he didn’t feel this way, but suddenly having this chat record right in front of him…

He even wondered if he had been possessed by another soul at that time.

He had just finished wiping his face with a towel when his phone suddenly rang; it was a special notification from Weibo.

Jinghuan’s Weibo was like a wasteland, filled with the foolish remarks he made when he was young. He was too lazy to post new ones or delete the old. The account followed dozens of people, all friends, and the only special follow was his sister, Liang Ran.

He quickly opened Weibo.

[Liang Ran: Everything will get better. [Photo]]

The photo was of the sea she took, a vast expanse of blue, calm and wave-free.

Jing Huan immediately liked and commented.

【Top dog of Mancheng No.1 High School: [hug][hug]】

Liang Ran replied very quickly.

【Liang Ran: [crying]】

Jing Huan looked at the tears on the little yellow man’s face, then recalled Liang Ran’s haggard figure when passing through security. The emotions from just now were instantly trampled underfoot by him, stomped on a few times, then buried and sealed shut.

He sat back down at the computer desk and tossed his phone aside.

[Team] Little Sweet Jing: Ah, sorry, I just went to the bathroom… Luckily, the boss fight hasn’t started yet. QAQ

[Team] Little Sweet Jing: Lu Tiaotiao, you’re so annoying, why did you have to bring that up!! [Angry][Blushing]

[Team] Little Sweet Jing: …Could it be that Brother War God also saw that video? Ah, I can’t live anymore! [Facepalm Screaming][Crying]

Jing Huan selected all the cute expressions from the game and sent them out together.

Awkward? Shame? Embarrassed?

Not at all.

The one passionately confessing in the video is Sweet Jing, what does that have to do with his Jing Huan?
