[Online Gaming] Love You 59 Seconds Chapter 51

Proofreader: Jesse

The kitchen door was ajar, through the gla.s.s one could clearly see the situation going on inside. Wu Han Ying saw that Xia Chen did not change out of his clothes and was still in his s.h.i.+rt and suit pants. As he continued to watch, he saw the man in the kitchen start the fire to heat up the cooking pan with oil after he had prepared all of the ingredients.

Wu Han Ying was deep in his stupor for a moment before he remembered that he should give the other man a helping hand.

The kitchen wasn't very big, it can be said that it's a little bit small; the kitchen was a bit warmer than the living room probably because the stove was turned on. As Wu Han Ying watched Professor Xia cooking dressed in a suit, he felt very strange.

The other seemed to be very skilled as if he had cooked on a regular basis, which was a bit surprising to Wu Han Ying. Professor Xia with a paralysis face was holding a plate in one hand and a spatula in the other; he was ready to add the ingredients into the cooking pan.

"You shouldn't be in here or else your clothes will get smelly." said Xia Chen when he saw the other man coming into the kitchen, "Grab the utensils to set up the table on your way out."

"Oh, okay." Wu Han Ying agreed as he knew he wouldn't be much help, plus it was very cramped in the kitchen for the two of them to have standing room.

After one look around the place, Wu Han Ying finally found the cupboards for the dishes and utensils. As he turned around, he saw Xia Chen had started to stir fry something, his cuffs were unb.u.t.toned and it looked like the sleeve might rub the edge of the hot dirty pot in front of him.

"Professor Xia, your sleeve will get dirty." As expected, a small black spot had appeared on the white sleeve right after he spoke.

"Help me." Xia Chen looked down at the cuff of his sleeve and switched the spatula to the other hand, he stretched the now unoccupied arm to Wu Han Ying.

"Oh." Wu Han Ying looked down and hurriedly helped him rolled up the sleeve, after he was finished he went to the other side to roll up the other one. Right after he was finished he felt someone gently patting his head.

"Be good and wait outside, it'll be done soon."

Wu Han Ying grunted an "um" and then quickly went out. As he opened the door to the living room he could not help but shudder a bit, it was so warm in the kitchen. He turned around to look at Xia Chen and it was obvious that the other person is much taller than him, his height was just about the other man's chin. If the other was not taller than him then how was it that the other man had only stretched out his hand and already touched the crown of his head...

Speaking of which, Wu Han Ying isn't a huge fan of fried rice, the reason is because he doesn't like the taste of the oil in the fried rice. However, today he was very hungry so he could not be a picky eater, Xia Chen's fried rice was very delicious. He added in a lot of ingredients, he noticed there were big shrimps with the outer sh.e.l.l removed, overall it looked very yummy.

Maybe Wu Han Ying was too concentrated on eating since the two people did not talk during the meal. Even though the meal was eaten in silence, it did not feel awkward between them; somehow it felt quite natural.

After they finished eating, Wu Han Ying insisted on doing the dishes; he really couldn't let the other do the dishes after he had troubled the other man to cook dinner for him.

Was.h.i.+ng the dishes during winter was a pain, during summer he could at least play with the water to cool down from the heat, but the water is very cold during winter. Wu Han Ying turned on the faucet, when the ice cold water touched the tips of his fingers it caused him to s.h.i.+ver. He did not get to do anything else before he saw a large shadow appear on the wall in front of him.

"Turn on the hot water." Xia Chen seemed to just pa.s.s by when he reached out his hand to turn off the cold water and start the hot water.

It was getting dark outside even though it was still very early, only a bit after 8:30. Wu Han Yin had finished was.h.i.+ng the dishes and couldn't help thinking that if he were to have taken the bus home, he would just be getting off the bus at this hour.

There was about an hour and half time in between 8:30 and 10:00. He wondered if his uncle and aunt would really be home at 10 o'clock, Wu Han Ying thought that it would not be appropriate for him to just stay at Xia Chen's place until then.

When he came out of the kitchen, Xia Chen was sitting on the couch reading a newspaper, "There is an ethernet cable in the study room, you can use it to access the internet there. When your family is home, I'll send you back."

"Okay." Wu Han Ying still felt somewhat embarra.s.sed.

Xia Chen waved his hand gesturing for him to follow along as he headed to the study. Fortunately, Wu Han Ying brought his laptop home this time, so he would not be bored and staring at the other man for more than an hour.

The study has a very simple design, there is a very big desk sitting in the middle of the room. All of the other vacant areas in the room are filled with bookshelves, the type that are attached to the ground and are much taller than Wu Han Ying's height, they look very spectacular.

Three computers were sitting on the desk: 2 laptops and one desktop. Wu Han Ying looked with a gaping mouth, the rich sure are rich ah.

Xia Chen put away the two laptops to make room for Wu Han Ying.

Wu Han Ying walked over and plugged in his laptop, the desk was very big so there was more than enough room for two people. Xia Chen was sitting right across from him, so he could see the other man just by lifting up his head, this feeling was...

As he looked at the laptop screen sitting in front of him, it was only natural that his eyes would sweep over Xia Chen who was sitting opposite from him.

{Guild}[Xiao Wu.]: I'm here (Laughing Expression)

{Guild}[Qian Qian Junzi]: Oh~Bangzhu is here

{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: (Surprised Expression)

{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Sao Zi, you're done with your exams?

{Guild}[Xiao Wu.]: Not yet, I have an interview the day after tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous so I came early to relax a bit, haha

{Guild}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]: *sweating* Sao Zi, you're being lazy

{Guild}[Mo Shan Xi]: Big Bangzhu is here! Clap my hands to welcome Bangzhu, today Lao Da's temperament will return to normal

{Guild}[Mo Shan Xi]: (Applause Expression)

{Guild}[Xiang Zuo Kan]: XD these days big brother worked extremely efficiently at leveling up, he was way better than any of the paid players

{Guild}[Xiao Wu.]: (Smiling Expression) Haha, that's right, it scared me a bit when I saw that I'm already at level 90 at login

{Guild}[Xiao Wu.]: I'm going to be in the high-level account group

{Guild}[Love You 59 Seconds]: Level 90 is considered graduating from the elementary level

{Guild}[Xiao Wu.]: ......

{Guild}[Xiao Wu.]: *Shock*

{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Yo yo yo~I finally know why Lao Da stopped leveling up at level 90

{Guild}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]: Yo yo yo~you know now

{Guild}[Mo Shan Xi]: *touching chin* I know too

{Guild}[Qian Qian Junzi]: Hahaha

{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: Come do the blessing, the blessing balloon is here

{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: Coming!!

The guild members were still teasing them, but the two main characters just decided to ignore the guild completely, so they moved to a team chat channel. Xiao Wu. took out the brushes from the warehouse and then directly ran over to Da Li to meet up with Love You 59 Seconds.

{Whisper}[Yun Tou - Zhuan Xiang]: Want to do Pao Pao?

{Whisper}[Xiao Wu.]: No, I'm about to log out

{Whisper}[Yun Tou - Zhuan Xiang]: Pal, today is it really you?

{Whisper}[Xiao Wu.]: ???

{Whisper}[Xiao Wu.]: It's really me

Wu Han Ying clicked on the brush while looking at the whisper chat, for a moment he did not know what the other meant.

{Whisper}[Yun Tou - Zhuan Xiang]: Your husband has been logging into your account for the past few days. He has such skill, he is so coquettish when clearing the dungeons ah.

{Whisper}[Xiao Wu.]: =.=

{Whisper}[Yun Tou - Zhuan Xiang]: Next time we should all clear the dungeons together

Your husband! Wu Han Ying did not reply as he saw the air balloon next to him suddenly fly away and leave colorful gift boxes on the ground in its wake.

It was Xiao Wu.'s first time picking up the gift boxes, the last time they did the married couple blessing he did not get to pick up anything. So he hurriedly ran all over the place to pick up the boxes and once he had collected them all he rubbed his hands together to open them.

Wu Han Ying acted very fast, but it helped that there weren't any other players around so all of the gift boxes were divided among him and Love You 59 Seconds. He picked up a bunch of transformation pills and a nouris.h.i.+ng pill for rare pets, everything was piled up in his inventory.

He clicked the bunny transforming pill, Xiao Wu.'s height immediately shrunk as his appearance turned into a big bunny that looked identical to Love You 59 Seconds the last time he changed.

{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: Let's go

{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: To make a wish?

{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: Sure

Xiao Wu. had more than ten wis.h.i.+ng bottles in his inventory, five wis.h.i.+ng bottles can be used at the Tai Hu map; when he was playing in the past, he often did not have time to do the wis.h.i.+ng. Yet, today it wasn't suitable to team up to clear the dungeons, what if his family was to call while he was in the middle of clearing the dungeon? It's not appropriate for him to leave the team in the middle of fighting, so tonight it was best to do these kinds of activities.

Xiao Wu. did not change back because he wanted to stay in the big bunny appearance, step by step he hopped over to the teleporter where he was ready to head to Suzhou but then changed to Tai Hu.

Love You 59 Second was riding on his mount, but when you watched his movements Wu Han Ying figured he must have chosen the following function, since he was taking very small steps as he followed the big bunny in front of him; it looked somewhat funny.

They were starting to get bored after they had finished wis.h.i.+ng, but he really did not know what to do. In the end, they decided to head to Xue Yuan map to fight the monsters there and look for "The Monster's Diary" to sell at the stall.

This was Wu Han Ying's first time coming to Xue Yuan. Since his character was previously at a lower level, he had never dared to go to this high-level place to fight the monsters. They had to travel from Luoyang to Yan Nan, pa.s.sing Cao Yuan to Liao Xi, and only then would they finally reach Xue Yuan.

Xue Yuan is also one of those places that does not increase the player's hatred*, the whole place is covered in a single blue tone, but the scenery looks so much better than the Ancient Tomb map. The monster's levels are quite high, level 70-80. For Xiao Wu. who is a recent elementary level graduate Emei, it was a bit difficult for him to fight. Luckily, Love You 59 Seconds was with him, so it was a piece of cake.

{Translator Input: Referencing the places where the player's hatred level is not increased, that means the players can kill each other freely without having to worry about any kind of a penalty ^^}

Xiao Wu. at first tried to fight off one or two, but the big Wudang next to him made him lose all hope, they were both at level 90 but the gap between their skill at playing was such a difference. Therefore, he transformed back into the big bunny and joined the little bunny pets running around Love You 59 Seconds collecting the bags.

Occasionally, he got too carried away, he would have the big bunny hop forward to attract the monsters. He would attract so many monsters that he almost died a few times; it got to the point where he even made Love You 59 Seconds run over to save him.

The dropping rate for "The Monster's Diary" is not that high, but at most one would be dropped at least once every thirty minutes. To take along the pets and enough medicine {health potions and man potions}, there is the possibility that they might be able to get five diaries within an hour if they were lucky enough; but again this kind of thing still depends solely on luck. Like when Xiao Wu. tried to make the F1 {lower level} deity weapon, he needed to collect level 40 regular weapons, he stayed in Jian Zhong for a very long time but not even one weapon dropped out. Other people said the item dropped after they had killed 2 skull head monsters.

At 9:45, Wu Han Ying felt quite irritated because he only picked up one diary. After that he decided to logout of the game because he was thinking that his family would call him soon and he wanted to be ready to head home immediately. So he logged out of the game and then started to pack all his stuff, he really didn't want to be in a rush collecting his stuff and possibly leave something behind.

{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: Wifey, hubbie is going to log out

{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: ......ok

{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: These days I didn't have time to log in

{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: I have an interview the day after tomorrow, I feel a bit nervous

{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: Don't be nervous

{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: (Going Crazy Expression) I don't have a suit for it, need to go buy it tomorrow

{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: Um, need to get one for work

{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: I'll logout now (Waving Expression)

{Team}[Xiao Wu.]: I'm leaving now

Wu Han Ying turned off his laptop and looked at the time on his phone, it was almost 10 o'clock but still no phone call. He did not know whether Xia Chen sitting opposite from him is working or not, the room was very quiet.

Wu Han Yin was afraid to disturb Xia Chen, so when he turned off his laptop, he soundlessly put it back into his bag. After he was all packed up he did not know what to do next. He leaned back in his chair and opened a x.x.x book to start reading. Even though his exams would start next week he needed to memorize important facts for them, yet he could not absorb any of the information into his brain right now, instead he felt sleepier.

After Xiao Wu. logged out, Love You 59 Seconds also said a few words on the guild channel and then logged out. He was once again being teased by the others, they kept saying things like the husband followed the wife to log out, such a harmonious couple.

{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Sao Zi just left, Lao Da is ready to steal a chic*

{Guild}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]: Right, Lao Da is logging off really early today, usually he would be the last one to log out

{Translator Input: to steal a chic - a Chinese slang meaning to take a prost.i.tute, in a sense to cheat on someone LOL, but in this case they were just kidding. Because as they said, he usually is the last one to logout, but today he logs out quite early, so they teased him for doing something bad behind Xiao Wu's back. But we all know whatever he does it has everything to do with Wu Han Ying XDDDD}

Xia Chen paid no heed to them; it was 10:20 so he also turned off his computer since he might have to send Xiao Wu home soon. He looked up at Wu Han Ying and understood why he had been quiet this whole time....he had fallen asleep.

Such an elegant sleeping position...head slightly down with both hands holding onto a book.

These past few days the students have been busy with their final projects and preparing for the upcoming closed-book exams. The students in the dormitory have been staying up until 1 or 2 o'clock to finish everything and then they had to wake up early the next day to attend cla.s.ses. During the end terms, the university is like purgatory. Wu Han Ying had been suffering the entire week, now sitting in a warm room trying to study was the best and fastest way to lull him to sleep.

Xia Chen heaved out a helpless smile; he turned off the computer and stood up to walk over. He took the book that Wu Han Ying was holding in his hands and put it down. He looked at the time and wondered when the boy's family would call.

He thought about turning on the heater to warm the room a bit, so that the boy would not catch a cold while sleeping; but, since the hadn't been sleeping for that long and he didn't want to disturb the boy so he let it be.

Soon Xia Chen, who was sitting next to the sleeping boy, began to frown; it was already 11 o'clock and Wu Han Ying's cell phone was still as silent as ever, no one has tried to call him.

After Xia Chen read his book for a while, he stood up and wanted to tell Wu Han Ying to go to the bedroom to sleep on the bed, the boy had been nestled on the chair for an hour already; if he was to stay sleeping on the chair any longer he would have a stiff neck when he woke up. Then by tomorrow, the boy's neck would be hurting for sure.

Looking at Wu Han Ying sleeping so peacefully, he did not want to wake the boy up. So he walked over, stretched out his hands and then picked the boy up bridal style.

Speaking of which, even though Wu Han Ying is a head shorter than Xia Chen and has a slim physique, the boy still has the weight of a grow man. Fortunately, the study room is not too far from the bedroom, so Xia Chen did not have much difficulty with carrying the boy.

{Translator Input: Thank you! A story where the uke is not so light like a feather >.> hehehehe just my thought~}

The bedroom light was not on and Xia Chen did not have an extra hand to flick the switch, so he just directly kicked the door open and went in. Right when he reached the bed, he accidentally touched the gla.s.s surface of the small cabinet, which resulted in a "gong" sound; even though the sound was not too loud, it was quite harsh to the ears.

Wu Han Ying thought he was dreaming, because he felt like he was floating; it was as if he was floating on clouds and it was very warm, but do clouds feel this hard? After hearing such a harsh sound, he was suddenly pulled out of his sleepiness. He did not react for a moment since it was so dark he couldn't see anything, it seemed like he was being moved...

Wu Han Ying was a bit shocked, but he waited for his eyes to adjust to the darkness. When he realized his situation he became stunned; subconsciously he tried to struggle a bit, wanting to get out of Xia Chen's embrace. A grown man being carried by another man bridal style, his face became crimson red, it was very shameful.

"...Professor Xia!"

"Don't move..."

Xia Chen did not think the person in his arms would wake up so he just kept on carrying the boy to the bed, it wasn't too difficult a task but when Wu Han Ying started to struggle, he did not get to finish his sentence before he felt somewhat unstable and lost his balance.

"Ouch." Wu Han Ying grunted, his forehead had made contact with Xia Chen's chin and it was very painful. Fortunately, they both fell onto the soft bed, so his back was saved, but being pressed down by a body ma.s.s that is taller than him by one head...it is very suffocating.
