Chapter 26.1

The Friendship In The Darkness

A certain Ying (referring to Xia Ying, Ying means “cherry”) said: A windy and moonless night was the time to have a heart to heart chat .

I habitually touched the other side of the bed and discovered that it was empty and cold . It was obvious that no one slept there yesterday .

I drowsily opened my eyes, looked at the empty spot that belonged to Han Lei and sighed .

It seem like this thing that’s called “habit” was really unpleasant . I who had slept alone until now unexpectedly lost sleep due to the lost of Han Lei’s warm chest and his reassuring embrace .

I once again sighed and slowly got up . I put my feet on the floor and after finding my slippers in the dark, I softly opened the door and walked toward the neighboring guest room .

Today was the first day where I and Ouyang Shuai watched the house together . The result was that he had been strange since this morning . Was it because he’s dissatisfied with me?

I gently opened the guest room, crossed my arms across my chest and leaned against the door . When I saw Ouyang Shuai lying on the bed enshrouded by the warm, soft beams of light, I couldn’t help but recall the scene this afternoon of dashing to Qin Hao’s home without informing him beforehand .

At that time, I held several bags with one hand while using the other to hold the still pondering Ouyang Shuai . I pressed the doorbell of Qin Hao’s home with a face that could almost cry .

Soon, the door opened and Qin Hao’s handsome face with glasses appeared in front of me . At that moment, I thought that he was shining just like an angel that was sent by God to help me .

But the next second, I was suspicious . Since Han Lei went on a business trip, why was Qin Hao who was his secretary staying at home instead of following him?

Qin Hao also seemed to have seen my suspicions . He looked at me gloomily, turned his head and smiled, pulling Ouyang Shuai into the house .

Looking at his back, I suddenly felt pity for him: It seems like he has lost favor .  En, he definitely has lost favor!

Ouyang Shuai and I obediently sat on the sofa in Qin Hao’s house, quietly drinking orange juice and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward and strange .

Taking advantage of Ouyang Shuai being absent minded, Qin Hao sat next to me and asked in a low voice, “What did you do to the brat?” There was disdain, blame, doubt and distrust in his tone .

Looking at Qin Hao’s expression, I felt wronged and innocently narrated what happened in the store today .

After hearing what I said, Qin Hao leaned against the sofa with one hand under his chin and the other under his elbow in deep contemplation .

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he gently called Ouyang Shuai, “Xiao Shuai, Qin Yang gege downloaded the game that you mentioned last time . Go and enter that room and play with him!”

After hearing what Qin Hao said, Ouyang Shuai “suddenly woke up” and after returning to normal, he uttered a “thank you” and dashed to the room that Qin Hao pointed to .

When I saw the little brat smiling again, I just want to say that in the end, “Han Lei” couldn’t be compared to that video game .

“You already thought of a countermeasure and a remedy?” I looked at Qin Hao admiringly as he was the one who made Ouyang Shuai “normal” again .

Who knew that Qin Hao would calmly say, “How can that be? This move of mine is called ‘diversion’ . What do you think? Brilliant, right?”

“…”

Qin Hao and I soon followed and entered Qin Yang’s room . The most noticeable thing in his room was still his bald head that could reflect light .

The Ouyang Shuai right now was sitting obediently beside Qin Yang, both of them were facing the computer, laughing and talking .

I walked up behind them and noticed that they were currently downloading the game . When I saw their list of games, I slightly frowned .

World of Warcraft, Street Basketball, Fantasy Westward Journey, World of Blood…

What were kids playing these days? If it’s not about magic and monsters, it’s some hot-blooded action and such . Back in my day, other than whatever-Tanks (reference to Battle City, Namco tank shooter in NES), it’s Super Mary (reference to Super Mario Bros), and used those keyboards* connected to a TV to play . And when I was caught by my dad, I couldn’t avoid his “lecture” .

Sure enough, the era is advancing with new innovations of games .

“You guys don’t play any rhythmic games?” I couldn’t help but ask .

Qin Yang looked at me with disdain while Ouyang Shuai looked at me puzzledly .

I looked back at Qin Yang coldly . Was there something wrong with rhythmic games? I could barely skip over 140 beats at most . Moreover, the game that I really wanted to ask about still hadn’t been said . If I really did ask, wouldn’t Qin Yang immediately jump up?

What I really wanted to ask was, do you guys play “Kichiku Megane”? (BL game)
