After being kicked out of Spring Snow guild, Apricot went around to inquire about Errant Wolf’s location.
When she learned that the guy was spotted at the gate of Luoyang City, she went there with a sullen expression, wanting to settle the account.
She did not expect to find Sheep Curls instead.
Apricot kept her distance afar and keenly noticed that the dancer was using a new weapon.
Thinking that the new weapon was very likely a gift from Errant Wolf, she switched to her main account in resentment, and quietly went over to inspect the other’s equipment while her target was not moving.
Sure enough, the small-pink umbrella was stamped with Errant Wolf’s name on the information menu.
Having a very unsightly face, she took a screenshot before leaving.
The next day on her side account, Cherry could not wait to talk to her in private.
[(Friend) Cherry in Snow Breeze: Sprig, did Lang-ge say when he would let me back into the guild?]
Apricot was both upset and flabbergasted.
[(Friend) Apricot Sprig: You were not online yesterday?]
[(Friend) Cherry in Snow Breeze: Nope, I wasn’t. I went shopping with my friends. Why? What happened?]
[(Friend) Apricot Sprig: It’s nothing. I am at Luoyang City’s post station, meet me there. I want to tell you something.]
Cherry went to Luoyang City using the transportation array.
When she got closer to the post station, she noticed that Apricot Sprig was guildless.
[(Friend) Cherry in Snow Breeze: Sprig, you left the guild???]
[(Friend) Apricot Sprig: Cherry, I am so sad (sob) (sob) (sob)]
She began to send sobbing emoji with a straight face.
[(Friend) Apricot Sprig: Errant Wolf cheated on me with Sheep Curls. I was supposed to get a new weapon from him, but now she has it. So I quit the guild in a moment of rage (grievance) (grievance) (grievance)]
Cherry’s attention was shifted by her words.
[(Friend) Cherry in Snow Breeze: That Sheep Curls is really something!!! Sprig, let me tell you, Sheep Curls is a green tea player that hooks up with men left and right. Before, she was trying to get into Blustery Dead of Night’s pants as well.]
Apricot Sprig’s expression flickered slightly, then beamed with joy.
[(Friend) Apricot Sprig: Cherry, was what you said true?]
[(Friend) Cherry in Snow Breeze: Babbling Water said he had a screenshot of them together when Blustery Dead of Night was playing on his alt account!]
The gears in Apricot’s head turned as she stared at her computer screen and started to smile.
Yang Juan kept his promise last night and came online after dinner.
Both Errant Wolf and Night Ferry’s icons were dark, so he decided to do his dailies by himself first. When he got his dailies, he ran into Little Fish, who was Farewell’s girlfriend.
Little Fish remembered him as she took the initiative to greet him on the local chat.
Yang Juan also gave an earnest response.
The two of them immediately added each other as friends.
[(Friend) Cat Eating Fish: Are you doing dailies?]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Yes.]
[(Friend) Cat Eating Fish: With just yourself?]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Yes.]
[(Friend) Cat Eating Fish: Perfect. I am by myself as well! My boyfriend will be on later, so you want to do it together?]

It was about a fifteen minute walk from where he was to his dorm.
Not wanting Yang Juan to wait for him any longer, He Lang changed his mind on the spot and turned to Predestined Love, an internet cafe at the end of the street.
It had been a while since the last time he had been to Predestines Love. Business was booming in the internet cafe as usual, with Lao Chen sitting behind the reception desk, eating melon seeds and catching up on his idol dramas.
Hearing a customer entering, he stated without looking up, “ID.”
He Lang leaned over, propped himself on the desk, made a fist and rudely knocked on the table without hesitation. “I need to show my ID?”
Lao Chen looked up, and exclaimed at the sight of the visitor, “Oh, isn’t this young master He? Long time no see. My wife and I missed you at dinner, canceling on us at the last minute.”
“Something came up, but next time when I am free, I will treat you as well as your girlfriend.” He Lang promised with a smile.
“That is more like it.” Lao Chen nodded in satisfaction. “Are you here for someone or do you need a computer?”
“The second one.” He Lang surveyed the cafe. “Are there any private rooms left?”
“Always save one for you, but don’t go just yet.” Lao Chen paused the drama and got up. “I was just about to go out for a smoke, could you hold the fort for me? You can use this computer in the meantime.”
“Fine, you go on ahead.” He Lang was up for the task without a second thought.
“Thanks, buddy.” Lao Chen grabbed his phone on the desk, walked out of the front desk, and went out.
He Lang sat down at the reception desk and leaned back lazily into the swirling chair.
Lao Chen is older than him by about two years, and used to be a street thug who was engaging in dishonest work.
During He Lang’s senior high school, he met Lao Chen in an alley fight by chance.
When he was admitted to A University, Lao Chen rented a shop near the campus and opened an internet cafe. At that time, he did not have much savings, but he still managed to borrow a little and relied on He Lang to invest the rest.
Which was why He Lang did not have to pay for internet access here.
He used the front desk computer to log into the game, and Yang Juan was still in the middle of his dailies.
Standing at the entrance of the guild base, he sent the other player a private message.
[(Friend) Errant Wolf: Where are you?]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: I am doing my dailies with Cat Eating Fish.]
Cat Eating Fish? He Lang vaguely remembered her. Farewell’s girlfriend.
Girls usually like to play games with their girlfriends, and He Lang understood that. Moreover, this should be the first female friend the dancer befriended with in the game.
He was very generous in his response.
[(Friend) Errant Wolf: I am at the guild base. Come find me after you finish your dailies.]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: Okay.]
He Lang stayed in the guild to check the storage and the rewards obtained from the guild war they partook for two days.
Once he was done, he estimated that it would take more than twenty minutes for Yang Juan to finish, so he went afk, turned the chair, raised his two long legs up, put one of them on the corner of the table, and the other leg over it. Then, he began to play on his phone with his head down.
Several young girls came in to meet up with their friends. After seeing his face, they stood at the door and snapped a few pictures of him in secret.
Without looking up, He Lang opened the drawer beside him, grabbed the baseball cap inside and put it on, pressing the brim down.
Only then did the girls stop what they were doing as they put away their phones.
The brim blocked most of the light in his vision, and with the addition of sleeping late last night, He Lang began to feel drowsy in less than two minutes.
Because the temperature set in the internet cafe was very low, he simply put his elbow on the armchair, pulled over Lao Chen’s sport jacket hanging on the back of the chair, and draped it over himself, deciding to catch a short shut-eye.
However, before he fell asleep, the sound of the electronic camera shutter sounded again at the front desk.
He Lang furrowed his brow and took off his baseball cap. As he was about to look up and go off on the person who took the photo, he saw Shao Ye standing at the front desk with his phone in his hand. His friend raised his eyebrow and teased, “What is young master He doing here? He is working here as an assistant?”
“Lao Chen went to get a smoke, so I am watching the front desk for him.” He Lang put down his legs and took off the jacket. “What are you doing here?”
“I ran into Lao Chan outside and heard that you are here, so I came in to have a look.” Shao Ye zoomed in on the photo he took. “For real though, with how tightly you are hiding your face under that hat, you really look like someone who is working this internet cafe.”
Shao Ye posted this photo in his Moment with a few worker emojis while he was at it.
He Lang snatched his phone, made sure that the photo was appropriate, saw that only the bottom of his chin was exposed, and let the other man be.
Shao Ye did not stay long.
He Lang sent another message to Yang Juan.
[(Friend) Errant Wolf: How much longer?]
[(Friend) Sheep Curls: I am on my way.]
When Yang Juan replied back to He Lang, he just bid farewell to Little Fish.
He was riding on his chestnut horse to find He Lang at Smoke Beacon’s base.
He Lang was not idling around either, as he was gathering people on the guild chat.
And received many responses.
[(Guild) Mango Mille Feuille: Let me join this ride!]
[(Guild) Crush Pick This Sweet One: Lang-ge, wait for me!]
[(Guild) Errant Wolf: Sweet-mei, get the head count and roles.]
[(Guild) First Shift Worker: This worker will never be absent!]
[(Guild) Which Cookie Are You: Lang-ge, please save me a spot, I will be right there.]
[(Guild) Sleepy One on the Moon: Oh me, pick me, Lang-ge, please have pity on this poor child.]
[(Guild) Taro Tapioca Pudding: Sorry for the wait, still need a healer QQQ?]
[(Guild) Crush Pick This Sweet One: Still need two healers, Taro, come!]
[(Guild) Jingling Bells Dear: Save me that last healer spot! Thanks, Sweet-mei!]
[(Guild) Errant Wolf: We only need four healers, I got one.]
[(Guild) Jingling Bells Dear: Then I will be a damage dealer! Sweet-mei, are all the dps spots filled yet?!]
[(Guild) Crush Pick This Sweet One: Not yet, hurry up.]
[(Guild) Jingling Bells Dear: Give me a second, I need to switch my equipment (happy)]
[(Guild) Errant Wolf: Anyone participating, get on YY.]
Yang Juan switched out of the game client and logged on to YY, entered the guild chat room, and was dragged into the room for the instance dungeon by Sweet One.
This was a room without microphone restriction as anyone could speak directly without pressing the keyboard.
Sweet One was delegating healer to each team, and by the sound of it, he was young in age.
When it was Sleepy’s turn, the small circle by her name lit up, “This might be asking too much, but it never hurt to ask. Could I be grouped with the guild leader?”
Yang Juan recognised her ID.
She was the young lady who said her voice was delicate and super sweet in YY yesterday.
Her voice was indeed crisp and sweet.
Maybe it was her first time talking with a mic, everyone was shocked by her voice.
“Wow, Sleepy, you have such a melodious voice!” This was from Sweet One.
“I think I am in love.” This time it was from a female player.
“I can tell by the voice that Sleepy must be a lovely young lady!” Said Mango, who said in a bright and warm male voice, despite playing a female player.
Yang Juan unconsciously went to look for He Lang’s name on the list.
The other person did not make any comment on Sleepy’s voice.
While there were compliments from all corners of the room, yet, nothing from He Lang.
Sleepy hesitated for two seconds before repeating her question.
The small circle after He Lang’s name finally lit up, accompanied by clear keyboard tapping, as he began to arrange, “Go with another team, Sheep Curls is with me.”
At the same time, Yang Juan also received a private message by He Lang on YY.
Errant Wolf: [Why aren’t you talking?]
Yang Juan lowered his head to type, answering truthfully.
Sheep Curls: [I do not know what to say.]
Errant Wolf: [Anything is fine.]
Yang Juan paused in his typing.
Sheep Curls: [Sleepy One on the Moon has a very lovely voice.]
Errant Wolf: [You are afraid of being compared?]
Yang Juan never thought of that. He just felt that the other person’s voice was real, while his was fake. So he was embarrassed to speak in front of everyone.
Receiving no answer, He Lang took the silence as positive.
Errant Wolf: [You did not even ask about my opinion on her voice.]
Sheep Curls: [Oh.]
Sheep Curls: [What do you think of her voice?]
Errant Wolf: [Pretty nice.]
It was in Yang Juan’s expectation to get a compliment from the other man.
He lowered his eyes, without much fluctuation in his inner mood.
Sheep Curls: [Oh.]
Errant Wolf: [But it is not as good as our Little Sheep.]
Errant Wolf: [Our little sheep has the best voice. No one can be compared with the little sheep.]
Our Little Sheep?
Yang Juan was stunned. He curled his fingers uneasily, and subconsciously dug the side of the keycap tightly.
Not knowing why he felt a little happy.
The feeling of joy from the tip of a small round bud that slowly entered into the bottom of his heart.
But at the same time, he was suddenly a little lost.
The voice that the other person praised was fake, it was not his own voice.
Oh my, hahahahaha! Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️🐑
Sweet.🥰 He finally starts to get happy receiving compliments, even though they are directed at his fake persona. I really hope he will feel really guilty fast and end up confessing that he is a boy soon. He Lang deserves to know the truth since he earnestly started to like him. Such a complicated situation. 😌
He stops being so confused of compliments! Yes!
Thank you for your translation 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚new color of hearts for april!
Ahh sooo cute. He Lang really likes Little Sheep~~Hurry up and reveal your identity so he can compliment your real voice~~~♪(´ε｀ )
