Waiting For You Online Chapter 6

006. Let's Talk

He Jin's mood was very complicated, he did not know why he was feeling like this after seeing those ranking lists, but Fire somehow felt so inexplicably tall right now.

To worship the strong was a human instinct, especially to the kind of incomparable strength that made others unable to even fight back, those Super Powerful Gods type really left people's heart filled with awe.

But in regard of how they treated those strong ones, different people had their own different ways. Some people would want to kneel, lick their kick, and hold their thigh, some people would be blunt to confess their feelings, and some others would be filled of jealousy, desiring to fight them ...

He Jin, who had a cold personality, when treating someone stronger than him obviously would want to speak to them a little more than usual.

However, because he was not really an insider in the game, he would not be too fanatical. Just like people who did not play the piano would not understand Bach's wonderful plays, and people who did not draw would not know what's so good about Van Gogh's painting, he simply did not have that vision.

He Jin currently was just feeling a lot of curiosity, curious about Fire Ruthless's first thought when seeing his name on the top player list, curious about his experiences, curious about the deep of his realm, curious about how did he treat his own actions now ......

He could not restrain himself from opening the dialog box, and hurriedly sent his questions over--

Xiao Xian-Jin: "I just saw the leaderboard, how did you become so powerful!"

Xiao Xian-Jin: "Where is this? Are you taking me to see the scenery?"

Xiao Xian-Jin: "The top level is 100 now?"

Xiao Xian Jin: "Realm 'Demon God ' what does it mean?

Xiao Sin A Jin: "Just now in the mountain, did those two new people unable to see you?"

Xiao Xian Jin: "Why did you kill them but they thanked you?"

...

When he was still immersed in his interrogation, the other suddenly sent back a word, which scared He Jin enough he pulled his hand back from the keyboard.

Fire Ruthless: "Let's talk."

He Jin's forehead shed a drop of cold sweat ...

Suddenly he realized a very important question - does he know I am a "man"?

He Jin forgot whether or not he had exposed his real gender back then, of course, that did not mean that he can't be honest now, the problem was ... Even after eight years, the fire had not divorced him, he could not fathom what the other side was thinking. In case the Fire really was a fool who waited for him for eight years, and wanted to mend their feelings now that he had returned..

Thinking of that, He Jin's forehead again shed a drop of cold sweat ...

He also did not want to be so passionate, but he was still ... a human.

Fire ruthless then sent a sentence: "The last time I talk to you was eight years ago, I don't know how your voice is now."

He Jin sweatdropped ...

He actually talked with Fire Ruthless before! ? Really young and ignorant! (= _ =)

He Jin began to think, eight years ago his voice seemingly had not entered changing period . He was a late bloomer, on the last group of boys to experience changing voice period, and before that, because of his light and thin voice, He Jin was often being ridiculed and compared to a girl. Of course, this was part of the dark history that He Jin was unwilling to acknowledge. Now he had a clear voice and no longer likely to be mistaken.

Seeing Fire Ruthless's sentence, He Jin hesitated for a moment before replying: "Sorry, ah, my roommate is here, it's not convenient."

His reason for refusing was actually irrelevant to his tangled question, adult He Jin had a cautious personality,he  would not casually exchange private information with online friends, in his opinion, playing games was merely for the sake of 'playing' , he drew a line for anything beyond that.

So he simply found an excuse to refuse, in fact, it's not even an "excuse" because his roommate was indeed in the room with him.

Fire Ruthless: "Oh, then I'll talk, and you listen?"

He Jin: "....."

Fire Ruthless: "You can hear, right?"

He Jin, who, back in the mountain, had heard the passersby talking but pretended not to hear anything and stayed silent, apparently even back then he... had been exposed!

Fire Ruthless: "Otherwise, you have so many questions, It would take me half a day to type an explanation."

Xiao Xian-Jin: "Ok ..."

Well, he would just listen, it's no big deal.

After a slight "click" sound in the headset, a young man's voice was heard ..."Hey?"

They were standing face to face in the game, so He Jin felt that the sound seemed like it came from in front of him, so close ...making the feeling of distance between them suddenly narrowed.

On the other side, Qin Yu asked tentatively, "Did you hear me, Ah Jin?"

Compared with He Jin's, the voice had a completely different tone, it was low, a little husky, and naturally oozed with intimacy, as if they had known each other for a long time, especially when he said "Ah Jin," He Jin did not know how to describe the feeling, it was like his ears were gently bitten for a moment ... His whole sense collapsed and he nervously typed: "Heard."

If he were to speak, he would surely stutter.

Qin Yu received a reply, turned to look at the chat log and asked, "Did you think I was taking you to see the scenery?" He automatically ignored He Jin's first sentence, ""Have you forgotten everything?"

He Jin replied guiltily: "Yes..."

Why did it feels like it pained you to be asked that? Just answer the questions!

Fire Ruthless paused then said: ""I'm helping you to find your memories."

He Jin: "....." he had an ominous foreboding feeling...

Fire Ruthless: "Here was where we died together for the first time? Remember?"

He Jin: "....." Who would remember such a thing?

Fire Ruthless slowly explained: "When I first started to play this game, I directly used the default mortal race, I didn't know there was a 'spirit' race, so the first time I saw your 'corpse', I thought you were a monster. " Here, a smile could be heard in his tone.

He Jin was a bit impressed, it seemed this fool genuinely determined to make him remember. Even bother to give such a long explanation!

Fire Ruthless: "For a long time, I suspected you were pets in the game, can be domesticated."

Xiao Sin Jin: "I feel dizzy ..."

For a long time? He Jin always thought that he had explained it to the other, but unexpectadly he was suspected as a pet? (= _ =)

Fire Ruthless asked: "When I killed you before, did you see what the system prompted?"

Xiao Xian Jin: "ah?" - Prompted what? Prompt that he was killed?

The other side was silent for two seconds, Fire's character in the screen suddenly raised his hand, forming a trace of faint arrow-shaped light on his fingertips, the arrow then released toward He Jin's small character who stood on his opposite -

〖System〗: You are attacked by "Fire Ruthless".

He Jin: "!!!" ... again!

He Jin had no parry skill, so on the screen his Tsing Yi was hit just like that. Like being smashed by a cannon, she flew directly up in the air and twisted into a tragic posture, and then "puff" her body turned into a long furred white animal, crashed on the ground ...

〖System〗: You have died.

Limbs stretched, the tip of the mouth opened wide, black eyes closed, a really miserable death that people couldn't bear to look at.

Like the real scene, He Jin, who was "dead", could not hear any sound, but then his friend's column flashed,

Fire Ruthless: "The corpse is very cute ^ ^"

Xiao Xian Jin: "....."

Seeing the last emoji, the veins on He Jin's forehead jumped out.

After the Fire resurrected him, He Jin heard a voice with clearly suppressed smile in his headphones, he gritted his teeth and punched down a sentence: "Don't tell me your hand slipped again this time!"

Fire avoided answering, asked directly: "Have you seen a message that prompted your increase in experiences?"

He Jin surprised for a moment, the system messages was on the lower left on the game interface, so he swept his pointer over there, and indeed, there was such a message there which informed him after his 'death'.

〖System〗: You gained 300 experience.

Xiao Sin Jin: "I saw it ..."

- dead and still received experience? What's with this game setting? (= O =)

※Spirit Fairy Past ※ (four)

"Hey, Ah Jin?" He Jin listened to the voice, it was loud and sounded like the owner was the same age as him.

After a few seconds, He Jin cautiously said back a "Yes", this was his first time chatting with online friends, so his voice held a hint of shyness and excitement, so soft that it's almost couldn't be heard.

Fire: "Your voice is light ah ... ..."

He Jin: "You can't hear it?"

Fiire: "Heard! Hehe... "

He Jin: "What are you laughing at ah."

Fire: "This is the first time I've talked to someone from internet."

He Jin: "Me too!"

fiire: "hehehe ..."

He Jin laughed and scolded him: "There is something wrong with you."

Fire giggled for a moment before asking: "Are your father and mother at home?"

He Jin: "No, they are out, they have to work overtime on Saturdays."

Fire: "Oh, then how about we talk about playing games every Saturday, okay?"

He Jin did not think carefully, casually thought it was 'fine', and said: "Let's look for an agreed time to play the game, I do not have much time, I also have to write my homework at night."

Since both of them had played together, He Jin's 'Xiao Xian-Jin' was now at level 19, while Fire 17, two levels lower than his, and he said he could leveling faster than him, hum ~

The Fire in the game was silent with He Jin following behind, but on the headset he was talking non-stop.

Fire Ruthless: "Ah Jin, how old are you? Are you doing well in your study?"

He Jin's mind was in the game, so he answered shortly: "Grade Two, study fine, usually got the first place."

Fire cried: "Wow! First place! You're amazing!"

He Jin: "I have no choice, my mother will go crazy if I'm not on first place."

Fire: "Are you afraid of your mother?"

He Jin: "Afraid ah, that woman is sick."

Fire: "Oh ... since your score is so good, surely you will go to university after?"

He Jin: "Of course, don't you?"

Fire: "My scores are bad, I might not take the test, and I don't want to test anyway what is the benefit of university oh ..."

He Jin's junior high school was a top school, so the competitive pressure was huge. Although the student would also play games, but they would not 'put the cart before the horse' in order to get better school as their goal. [T/N: Put the cart before the horse: prioritizing something of less value first]

This was the first time He Jin met someone who did not consider university in their future plans, he could not help but wonder: "If you don't want to study, then what will you do?"

Fire: "I'll work ah, my dad said that if I don't want to read then just don't read, he will give me a job."

He Jin immediately thought of the migrant children who were often mentioned in news, they had to drop out of school early to work, making his heart filled with sympathy. He immediately lectured Fire: "Read many books and study diligently ah, although I also feel that reading books is very boring, but this is the only way to change our destiny ... Being admitted into university will give you a chance to find a better job and make more money than anyone else, to live your life as you please and become a self-supporting man! "

Fire: "....."

This was the understanding He Jin 15-year-old self had on university entrance examination, but little did he know, these few words from him will change a weary-teenager's view on reading.

Fire: "Ah Jin, what university do you want to test?"

He Jin: "Well, if the results can be maintained, it should be Hua University ... My mom always said that I had to go there."

Fire: "I got it."
