Be Strict on HonestyCh13.1 - Admitting Mistakes

Snow Town is one of the top five scenery spots in the game. Located between two mountains, where players could take in stunning snow views.

The phoenix descended from the sky and let the two players off on the hillside. Looking ahead from the top of the slope, they could see an excellent view of the entire Snow Town.  YkIM1A

He Lang had his in-game character sit down, while Yang Juan followed his example, sitting down next to him. 

The phoenix rested lazily against Yang Juan. 

Chrysanthemum Garden.

He Lang’s voice came from Yang Juan’s headset, “You like the phoenix?”

“It is very pretty.” Yang Juan answered calmly, not as nervous as before. spu1W

“So you like it?” The other side asked again. 

“I do.” Yang Juan said. 

He Lang offered smoothly, “Then do you want it?”

Without a second thought, Yang Juan rejected the offer stiffy, “I do not want it.”

He Lang suddenly felt this was getting dull. 

“Other female players would actively ask male players for equipment and mounts.” He wished he could get this through the fool’s brain. “While you are acting completely unlike them.”

Yang Juan missed the point, “Who are the other female players you speak of?”

He Lang thought for a moment. “You know Apricot Sprig right? Did she not ask Errant Wolf to buy her accessory in front of you once?” U0yfGI

“She did.” Yang Juan’s voice was slightly hesitant, obviously confused. “How do you know this?”

The person on the other computer coughed softly. “I am friends with Errant Wolf in real life.”

“Oh.” This confused Yang Juan even further. “But Apricot Sprig is Errant Wolf’s wife.”

He Lang was made speechless by this statement.  tgHaoC

Hearing this argument, Apricot Sprig indeed did nothing wrong. 

Putting away the idea of giving away his mount, he recalled the phoenix back into his inventory and changed the subject, “Did you take a screenshot?”

Yang Juan asked softly, “Take what screenshot?”

“Why aren’t you taking screenshots of this glamorous snow view?” He Lang asked in a raised tone, “Don’t you girls like to take scenery pictures in the game the most?” VSeE50

When Yang Juan heard this, he began to focus on taking screenshots. 

However, being no expert in capturing the moment, all the screenshots he took contained he and He Lang’s characters, either of their backs or profiles.

Some angles he took happened to be the dancer turning her head to look at Night Ferry. The two game characters have their shoulders and arms touching. With how close they were, from his perspective, they looked like a couple whispering loving words. 

Remembering that one of them was himself, he was in a slight daze. Scrolling the scroll wheel, he resetted his camera view to a wider perspective instead of close-up of his character, and murmured, “I am done.” 9dyKa3

At the same time, Night Ferry’s voice pierced through the headphones and into Yang Juan’s ears. “Take my hand.” d6 iS1

Yang Juan stared at Night Ferry’s face on the screen, and briefly had the slight illusion that the game character was talking to himself. 

Seeing no movement, and thinking that the other person was offended by this, He Lang explained, “I am taking you somewhere.”

Yang Juan came back to his senses as he moved his cursor to accept the request. “Okay.”

Once they held hands, Night Ferry pulled the dancer from the ground.  WRl7vc

He spun the other player into his arms, flew to the steep cliff behind him with light movement skill, went up along the towering cliff, and finally landed into the cave on the cliff face. 

Night Ferry turned them around, and looked down from the edge of the cave. 

“You can see the whole Snow Town here.” He Lang pointed out. 

Yang Juan took a few screenshots.  1r4WtR

He Lang did not let go, leading the other player into the cave. 

The cave was dimly lit, with unlit torches on both sides of the cave wall. Instead of bringing light to this dark cavern, He Lang led the dancer deeper into the dark. 

Yang Juan slowly voiced out, “What is inside?”

He Lang did not give a clear answer, “You will know once we are inside.” ao9lPK

Yang Juan obediently followed him inside. 

After about a few minutes of walking, he could finally see a faint flickering yellowish light at the end.

Yang Juan kept his eyes on the little yellow spot. 

Only afterwards did he realize that the small light was alive, as it moved and jumped.  snD8Ao

Behind the light was an entrance. 

Being led into the new cave entrance, He Lang picked up the pace as he took them running along the long narrow path. 

At the moment they passed through the hole, their vision became clear. 

There was a field of grass swaying in the wind, a vast, dark blue night sky above, which was decorated with numerous shining stars.  NjqVoY

In the middle of the meadow were pale yellow fireflies, flying around the sky. 

This was the first time Yang Juan saw the night view in Epic. 

They sat down where the fireflies were gathering. 

He Lang clicked on the action to lay down. The assassin with [Night Ferry] above his head, put his arms behind his head, lay on his back on the grassland, with one knee bent.  7Yv8lR

Yang Juan followed suit. The dancer with [Sheep Curls] above her head dropped her hands on her side, flicked her high ponytail, and laid back on the grass in a relaxed manner. 

He Lang opened his inventory and set off the fireworks he bought. 

He bought so many different types of fireworks from the stall. He had never bought fireworks for others, and because he could not tell the difference between them by their fancy names alone, he just bought all of them. 

He casually selected one to use.  KZX8y5

When the fireworks flew into the night sky, Yang Juan was taking a screenshot, which he happened to capture the moment the firework bloomed into a fiery flower. 

He was stunned and asked, “Did you set off a firework?”

“You know there is no one here except for us.” He Lang paused. “Isn’t it pretty?”

Yang Juan confirmed, “It is pretty.” yJdhLx

He lang did not continue this pleasant conversation, instead, he coughed softly and suddenly brought up the incident from last night, “Yesterday—”

“Oh.” Yang Juan hurriedly explained, “My dorm lost power last night, so I was disconnected from the game.”

He Lang: “…”

“Lost power?” He asked in a slightly raised tune.  iwVGbx

“Yes, it was a power failure.” Yang Juan added, “My laptop battery stopped charging a few weeks ago, and I have not had the time to buy a new one yet.”

He Lang: “…”

So the other did not go offline in rage. He thought with a straight face. 

As he was secretly fuming, he heard the other party asked in confusion, “Why did you buy fireworks? Is it a holiday today?” nm5gI3

He Lang: “…”

“I bought them a long time ago, and they were taking up spaces in my storage, so I took them all out.” He replied in a stiff voice. 

Sheep Curls’s soft oh came from his headphones. 

His gloom inexplicably dissipated from hearing the other party’s voice.  YhzSea

Since he bought them anyway, he might as well use them instead of taking up spaces in his precious storage. 

So he began to use them one at a time. 

After lighting the red [Raindrops Against Banana Leaves], he set off the yellow [Joyous Reunion at Nightfall] next to it, and what was left were the ten [Red Beans of Southern Land], which he casually glanced at and used all of them at once. 

The special sound effect of fireworks echoed throughout the sky as he widened his eyes slightly.  HIYNVl

The name of fireworks appeared in his mind—

They seemed to be inspired by love poems. 

As soon as such an idea arose, the fireworks burst in the sky. 

One by one, the pink hearts entered their view.  1lf6uN

He Lang: “…”

Yang Juan was saving screenshots in a frenzy.

After a long silence, He Lang said in a complicated tone, “My hand slipped, I clicked the wrong item.”

Yang Juan replied very understandingly, “Okay.” HQXjLx

This was how the brief interlude turned silently. 

These fireworks were bought with money after all, so He Lang took the initiative to start the conversation, “I invite you to see a firework show and you have nothing to express?”

Yang Juan said, “Thank you.”

He Lang was not satisfied. “Just a thank you?” Gt1rUi

“How about I put on a firework show for you next time?” Yang Juan offered after giving some thoughts. 

He Lang: “…”

He deliberately lowered his voice, “You used to call me gege at any given chance, why did you stop?”

Yang Juan’s face burned from such a question. After a long time, he managed to squeeze out a soft voice, “Can I type that instead?” O0IS3s

There was even a note of nervousness. 

The corners of He Lang’s lips raised as he mercifully allowed, “You can.”

With a slightly reddened face, Yang Juan lowered his head to type. 

Before He Lang could receive Yang Juan’s gratitude, he received a message from Shao Ye. QvZ78O

[(Friend) Blustery Dead of Night: Are you done yet? If you are, come help with the instance dungeon. Many of the stronger members are not online yet, so I lacked the damage output in the current party. We kept failing.]

[(Friend) Dark Ferry: Fine.]

While replying to his friend, He Lang said, “Something came up, I will be getting off now. Just up ahead, there is a transportation array that can take you back.”

Yang Juan had to delete what he was typing and quickly replied, “Okay.” dPeZOR

He Lang logged off his YY side account, and switched to his main account.
