Yang Juan froze.
He recognized this voice, it was Night Ferry’s voice.
So Dead of Night was not Night Ferry, but Errant Wolf.
The first thing he thought of was all of his hard work was for nothing, before it dawned on him that Errant Wolf was looking for him.
Yang Juan did not know whether he should respond using the public chat.
By that time, He Lang had found him, saving him the effort to respond in public.
The players present have an exceptionally keen gossip radar. They immediately smelt deeper meaning from He Lang’s words and were brave enough to inquire on the public chat, asking about the relationship between Sheep Curls and the guild leader.
Without providing any more information, He Lang turned the mic over to Shao Ye, moved Yang Juan into a password-locked room, before following in himself.
Everyone tossed listening to the guild leader’s singing to the back of their minds as they hooted at Shao Ye for password, so they could sneak in to listen in the corner.
Shao Ye sighed helplessly, “I do not know the password myself, sadly.”
The public chat sighed with him.
Yang Juan and He Lang were alone in the small private room.
After a short silence, He Lang asked in voice chat, “Is it good time for you to talk right now?”
Yang Juan did not answer immediately as he hurriedly turned on the voice changer.
Not getting a reply from him, the other party’s voice lowered slightly, “Are you angry?”
Yang Juan paused his movements while adjusting his mic, looking confused.
When did he get angry again?
Since childhood, his good temper and credulousness have been most praised by the people around him.
However, when it came to gaming, this was not the first time that the other party thought he was angry.
Girls sure get angry easily.
As he moved his lips, the sound coming out of them became soft through the voice changer, “No.”
Instead of believing in that, He Lang furrowed his brow and only one thought came to mind. To remain delicate and soft even when angry, what would the other party do when being bullied in school?
Thinking that he had lied to the other person for so long, he became more and more upset as his voice deepened when he apologized seriously to Yang Juan, “I am sorry, I was wrong.”
Yang Juan was stunned again and did not understand why He Lang suddenly apologized to himself.
After giving a long thought, he finally came up with a more appropriate reason.
Since he was playing as a female character, Errant Wolf was someone with an in-game wife, yet he lied about his single status.
“Apricot Sprig—” He slowly began.
He Lang tensed slightly and hastily interrupted, “Apricot Sprig is a spy from Spring Snow. So me taking her as my wife was just for show, I am really single.”
Yang Juan blinked, obviously not expecting such an unfolding.
Why did the other man apologize?
Yang Juan lowered his gaze, thinking about everything that had happened on Saturday night.
It slowly sunk in.
Errant Wolf got close to Apricot Sprig because she was a spy.

Could it be that Night Ferry had been gaming with him daily because the guild leader suspected him to be a spy?

Yang Juan pulled himself out of his thoughts and subconsciously opened his mouth to say, “Okay.”
He switched to the full-screen game client and controlled his characters to travel to Luoyang City using the transportation array.
The game was particularly lively right after the guild war as the Luoyang City’s gate was crowded with players.
Yang Juan stopped amidst the crowd. “I am here, but I do not see you.”
“Stay where you are, I will come find you.” He Lang answered quickly.
Yang Juan stayed where he stood, took off his headphones and sent a WeChat message to Zhuo Lan.
Curl It Up: [We have got the wrong guy. Night Ferry is not Blustery Dead of Night, but Errant Wolf.]
Joyce: [Fuck my dumbass! I found out two days ago! I meant to ask you to keep an eye on him so you could collect evidence of him cheating, but I completely forgot.]
Curl It Up: [Apricot Sprig is a spy, so they are not really together either.]
Joyce: [???]
Joyce: [We didn’t lose the guild war, right?]
Curl It Up: [No, we won.]
Joyce: [So has everyone in the guild know about Apricot Sprig being a spy?]
Curl It Up: [It appears so.]
Joyce: [Tsk, I was right, like why would Lang-ge suddenly fall for someone like her.]
Curl It Up: [Then do I have to continue playing? I don’t think Blustery Dead of Night is cheating.]
Joyce: [You don’t have to worry about that anymore, I have already broken up with him. If you want to purely play the game, you can continue to use that account. If you are done playing, you can return the account back to me.]
Curl It Up: [Okay.]
After replying to Zhuo Lan’s message, Yang Juan raised his head and found that Errant Wolf had been standing by his in-game character’s side for a long time.
The chat also contained fresh system prompts and messages from the other party.
[(System) ‘Errant Wolf’ has requested to ‘hold hands’.]
[(System) ‘Errant Wolf’ has canceled the invitation.]
[(Friend) Errant Wolf: You there?]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Yes.]
He Lang directly sent a trade request.
[(Friend) Errant Wolf: Last time, I told you that I will get you Waters of Autumn’s full set and a new weapon. I got them, so accept it.]
Yang Juan kept pushing off on accepting the trade.
Now that the matter of Zhuo Lan had been dealt with, he did not plan to continue playing. He had the thought of bidding farewell to Errant Wolf and getting off the game forever.
Although Zhuo Lan would still use this account, it left a bad taste in his mouth if he was to accept the gifts before he disappeared.
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: I do not want it.]
He Lang frowned.
[(Friend) Errant Wolf: Didn’t you say you wanted it, why changed your mind now?]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: It is too wasteful on me.]
[(Friend) Errant Wolf: You are still angry?]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Am not.]
[(Friend) Errant Wolf: Accept the equipment right now, and I will believe that you are not angry.]
Yang Juan stopped replying.
He Lang raised his eyebrows silently, a little surprised by the other party’s persistence.
If the dancer was too shy to accept it, he could take his time.
[(Friend) Errant Wolf: It is fine that you do not want the full set, I can always sell it. However, the weapon was specially smithed for you, with your name on it. If you do not want it, I cannot sell it nor can I use it, it will just collect dust in my inventory.]
After a long hesitation, Yang Juan finally accepted the weapon.
The idea of not playing this game was shaken for a second.
But it was for a single second, as his interest in gaming was still quite low, wanting nothing but doing his course experiments, free of distractions.
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Thank you.]
[(Friend) Errant Wolf: Now equip your new weapon.]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Okay.]
Yang Juan opened his equipment window and switched his weapon.
The new weapon was a pink peach blossom umbrella. He slid his mouse cursor over the small pink umbrella, and information on the weapon appeared.
Although he did not understand the game, he could tell that the stats on his little pink umbrella were much higher than his original white umbrella.
He read from top to bottom, but did not find his name anywhere on the weapon’s information. Instead, he found a familiar name in the maker’s column—
[Errant Wolf]
His eyes stayed on the other party’s in-game name for two seconds, and he unconsciously pursed his lips.
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: My name is not written on the weapon.]
[(Friend) Errant Wolf: Put on your headphones, it saves me the time from typing.]
Yang Juan picked up the headphones and put them on.
“Look at the name of the weapon.” He Lang suggested.
Yang Juan moved his eyes up to where the name of the weapon would be—
Baa Baa.
“Don’t Little Sheeps go bleat?” He Lang chuckled husky. “So Little Sheep equal to baa baa, and baa baa equal to Little Sheep.”
The two were obviously not face-to-face, but Yang Juan blushed from the other’s laugh.
After a long time, he whispered, “Oh.”
There were a sea of players at the city gate, a never ending flow of traffic. He Lang used his light movement skill to lead Yang Juan up the city gate, and pulled him to sit down at the edge of the city wall.
Yang Juan gazed up at the distant scenery and thought it was time to say goodbye.
After repeatedly trying to type out what he wanted to say, he finally said, “I—”
Unexpectedly, He Lang spoke up at the same time, “I—”
Both of them ceased talking, waiting for the other to finish.
He Lang got up and got out of his mount, rode it, bent over and extended a hand out. “I will take you to the wilderness zone to test out your new weapon.”
Yang Juan accepted the invitation without any difficulty, took the hand and sat in the other person’s arms. “Okay.”
He Lang controlled his mount to move to the wilderness. “What were you trying to say just now?”
Yang Juan paused and replied, “Nothing.”
As if already guessed what the other was trying to say, He Lang glanced at his phone and said, “You want to go offline and sleep? Then we can do it tomor—”
“No.” Yang Juan interrupted the other person quickly, as if to enhance the believability of his words. He added in a low voice, “I do not plan to sleep yet.”
He Lang could not hold back his laughter at the attempted explanation.
Yang Juan’s face burned red again.
Why are you laughing?
Yang Juan lowered his eyes, feeling uneasily.
He just suddenly changed his mind and decided to say goodbye to the other party after they get back from the wilderness after testing the weapon.
In the blink of an eye, ten o’clock turned deep into midnight.
That night, Yang Juan was having such a blast. It was only when He Lang mentioned that it was late that he realized it was past midnight.
The two separated in Luoyang City. Yang Juan considered his words and intended to say goodbye.
Unexpectedly, before he could speak, he heard He Lang asked, “Are you getting on tomorrow after dinner as usual?”
Yang Juan hesitated when he heard the question.
Before he could answer, He Lang continued, “Call me when you get on tomorrow. We can do instance dungeons.”
This time, Yang Juan hesitated even longer.
After a long time, he finally heard himself say, “Okay.”
Actually, his experiment would still be in observation. Yang Juan thought quietly and decided to postpone the farewell plan for another day.
After He Lang left, he was ready to go offline at the gate of the city.
A classmate from the dormitory next door suddenly knocked at his door, asking if he could borrow a hairdryer.
Yang Juan took the hairdryer from the shelf, gave it to the student, closed the door and returned to his desk, sitting down.
His character was still standing near the city gate, and there were no other players passing by.
However, on the screen, he was greeted with a system prompt that a player called [Overgrown Sprig] had checked his equipment information.
The author has something to say:
A’Ruan has Wine:
Yang Juan—to deceive others and to deceive the sheep.
Yang Juan, weren’t you gonna not play now that your role is over 😂
