The summer vacation of the year of the university entrance examination. His father spent a huge sum of money to buy Ke Shaobin a laptop with the highest configuration because he got into the Computer Department of Hua’an University, making him easily play all the games on the market.
Ke Shaobin was not a nerd who could only study. He just spent most of his high school time studying. After graduating and three years of repression, he finally unleashed his fun-loving nature. He downloaded a bunch of games on his laptop.
Most of the other students would go out to travel during the summer vacation after their third year of high school, while Ke Shaobin stayed at home to play online games.
He had superb skills. Soon, he made a name for himself in online games and built a guild as a guild leader, planting and harvesting vegetables to make food in the game, learning skills to hit the wooden stakes to the PK arena, and having a good time.
A month of vacation passed quickly. On August 29th, he did see Xin Yan when he arrived at the high-speed rail station.
Their seats were in the same compartment.
Ke Shaobin took the initiative to greet him. “Xin Yan, are you going to report alone?”
Xin Yan said lightly, “En. My mother has something to do.”
Ke Shaobin’s mother carefully looked at the clean and thin teenager before her and smiled. “Xin Yan. You have been a role mode for my family Binbin. It’s great that you guys were admitted to the same university.”
Ke Shaobin’s face turned red. “Mom, what are you talking about?!”
I’m terrified that Xin Yan will say ‘Stay away from me’. It will be embarrassing.
To Ke Shaobin’s surprise, Xin Yan was very polite to his elders. He nodded his head and said, “Auntie, we’re the only two who got into Hua’an University from High School no.14 this year. We’ll take care of each other.”
Ke Shaobin’s mother knew Xin Yan’s family conditions. She had a good impression of this hard-working child. In a few hours, the high-speed train arrived at the station. After arriving at school, she also took the initiative to invite the two people to have a meal, helped Ke Shaobin settle his luggage, and went back by the high-speed train that day.
Ke Shaobin’s dormitory was not in the same building as Xin Yan. They said goodbye downstairs in the dormitory.
Xin Yan took out his mobile phone and said lightly, “Let’s add WeChat. You can find me if you have something in the future.”
Ke Shaobin thought he was just being polite, so he cooperated and scanned the QR code to add a friend.
During military training, the Faculty of Chemistry and the Faculty of Computer Science were not in the same company and never met. But Ke Shaobin logged on to the game every day after returning to his dormitory and chatted with his guild mates in the online game.
Within a few days, a player called [Dark Night Guardian] was suddenly added to the guild, playing an assassin. He had a very sharp operation, killing people in the arena smoothly. Ke Shaobin found this person and pulled him into the guild’s arena team. He made an appointment to play in the arena together every night.
Ke Shaobin and the others formed a 5v5 arena-fixed team, with tank, melee, mage, assassin, and healer. Ke Shaobin played a healer and had an obscene position.
The others were all old friends he had known since he first played online games. Everyone liked to talk and laugh, only the new assassin brother never turned on the mic. Every time they played in the arena, everyone complained and cursed in the voice chat, and the assassin would only reply ‘Oh’, ‘En’, ‘Okay’ on the team chat channel.
Ke Shaobin joked. “Little Brother Dark Night, you are so cold ah. Can’t you say a few more words?”
The companion said, “Little brother doesn’t want to talk to you. You’re too talkative.”
Ke Shaobin smiled and said, “I’m in military training these days, shouting one, two, one, two from morning to night. I’m so tired that I can only talk to you guys more in the evening. Don’t mind my nagging.”
Dark Night Guardian typed and asked, “Military training? Are you a freshman?”
Ke Shaobin: “Yes. I’m from the Faculty of Computer Science.”
Dark Night Guardian: “Are there very few girls at your faculty?”
Ke Shaobin: “This question is heart-wrenching! In our class, there is only 1 girl out of 45 students. It’s the kind that already has a boyfriend. We are so miserable.”
There was a burst of laughter around. “That is how the science and engineering majors are!”
“When this uncle went to university, I studied Liberal Arts. There were beautiful women around. There are 35 girls from 40 students in our class!”
Ke Shaobin envied. “Then you are happy.”
The uncle teammate said, “Happy your fart. I’m too ugly to find a girlfriend, even after graduation.”
There was another round of laughter.
Dark Night Guardian: “Guild Leader, you don’t have a girlfriend?”
Ke Shaobin: “I don’t have ah.”
Dark Night Guardian: “Don’t you have anyone you like?”
Ke Shaobin felt embarrassed. “No. I always studied in high school, planning on getting into a relationship or something in university. However, it turned out there are a bunch of big old guys in my class with pimples, shattering my fantasies.”
Dark Night Guardian: “...”
Xin Yan, who used an alternate account before the computer, smiled slightly and thought to himself—— Isn’t it good that there are fewer girls in the Faculty of Computer Science? You don’t have a chance to find a girlfriend, so just stay single for now.
They didn’t know if it was Xin Yan’s curse that took effect, or if Ke Shaobin was too nerdy and spent too much time playing games, but in the past few years of university, he had indeed been single.
There were too many male students in their Computer Department. Female students were like rare animals, and occasionally a few male students who were off the lists were relatively communicative and got them from other faculties. Ke Shaobin tended to be shy and blushed when he met girls. He was even more embarrassed to go on social occasions, such as proms.
Therefore, he complained in online games every day. “If I continue to be single, I’ll marry a computer as my wife in the future.”
“By the way, I’m majoring in Artificial Intelligence. You say, in the future, after the development of human technology, can we customize a robot as a wife?”
The teammates chimed in. “It’s good ah. I’ll custom-made order a celebrity!”
When Xin Yan heard this, he couldn’t help but think–Then I will order one that’s exactly like you. No, even if it looks the same, there’s no way to replace you.
That night, Xin Yan had another dream.
He dreamed back to that rainy day in high school. Ke Shaobin ran into the classroom soaking wet, holding his textbook. He took off his glasses and wiped them before him, turned around, and took off his school uniform, wringing out the water on it.
The teenager’s waist was thin and beautiful. He could hug it casually with his hand.
Those legs were straight and long, and the way the drenched pants clung to them was tempting to crime.
In the dream, Xin Yan looked at the teenager who was bending over to wipe his hair and couldn’t control the crazy possessiveness floating in his heart. He pressed Ke Shaobin on the desk and violently tore off the teenager’s pants despite his shrieks.
In the high school classroom, Xin Yan swept Ke Shaobin’s books off the floor as soon as he could, picked Ke Shaobin up, and pressed his entire body against the desk…
The teenager’s face was full of tears. His voice was hoarse from crying.
The ground was a mess. Those notes, exercise books, and textbooks were scattered all over the place. Xin Yan saw himself in high school, like a beast who had bloodthirsty eyes. He was crazy as a devil.
Ke Shaobin kept crying.
But he got even more excited. He loved to see Ke Shaobin’s fragile appearance. He liked to see that simple and kind teenager twitching, crying, and trembling in his arms…
The bed was sticky when he woke up from the dream.
Xin Yan came to the bathroom expressionlessly and slowly washed himself as if nothing had happened.
On his way to class, he bumped into Ke Shaobin. The face that overlapped with his dream came to him with a friendly and bright smile. Ke Shaobin stopped the bicycle and greeted him. “Good morning Xin Yan. Are you going to class?”
Xin Yan averted his eyes and said lightly, “En.”
Ke Shaobin smiled and said, “I’m going to the computer center. Bye!”
Then he rode his bicycle to the computer center near the library to take a class.
The morning sun shone on the boy’s body, warm and bright.
The back of the boy riding his bicycle on the campus looked like it was coated with a soft light.
Thinking of the dream, the way the boy struggled and begged for mercy underneath his body, made Xin Yan’s emotions tumble. He clenched his fists hard, quickly suppressing this strong possessiveness, and walked towards the chemistry laboratory with an expressionless face.
Chemical experiments require precise calculations, where a single mistake could end up not getting the desired product.
Just like his feelings for Ke Shaobin.
Ke Shaobin was the light of his heart. Although he can forcefully imprison that light around him by violent means, but the light will no longer be bright… it will become dim.
How can he be willing?
……
Three years of university passed by.
Ke Shaobin met a lot of friends in the Faculty of Computer Science, but the people who had the best relationship with him and talked about everything had always been the group of people in the online game. It might be because there was no psychological burden across the network cable. Ke Shaobin would share happy and unhappy things with those netizens.
Especially that little brother Dark Night Guardian.
Ke Shaobin always felt this little brother was a mature and rational person who gave him much advice and help. Although the other party still didn’t like to talk on the mic, he was online every night in the arena as long as there was nothing to do.
Several of the other people who knew each other from a very early age had left the Internet because of job transfer. Some went to graduate school, got married, had babies, etc., and were not as active online.
Many of the avatars on the guild list gradually dimmed.
There was only [Dark Night Guardian]. When Ke Shaobin was online at night, he was online as well. According to him, he was also a university student and had time to play games at night.
Every time he saw his avatar online, Ke Shaobin felt warm in his heart. This person, who joined their guild at the beginning of his freshman year, was not Ke Shaobin’s vice guild master. Although they had not met, the relationship between netizens was sometimes more cordial than that of friends in reality. After all, there was no conflict of interest between netizens, and they didn’t need to take too much into account when talking.
If Ke Shaobin had anything in his heart, he would tell this netizen as soon as possible.
After receiving the test invitation for the holographic game, Ke Shaobin didn’t dare to tell anyone out of a confidentiality agreement. He logged into the online game and said to Dark Night Guardian. “Dark Night, I’m going to participate in a game test. There may be a period when I won’t be online, so I’m counting on you for the guild ah.”
Dark Night Guardian: “Game test? Do you have any new online games?”
Ke Shaobin: “Hehe. It’s not convenient to disclose.”
Could it be that holographic game test the counselor told him about today? Has Ke Shaobin also received an invitation?
Xin Yan frowned, opened the Chemistry Department’s counselor contact in his list, and typed a single line: “Teacher, I’m willing to participate in the game test.”
The teacher was a little surprised. “Didn’t you say today that you’re not very interested?”
Xin Yan: “At that time, I thought it would affect the progress of my experiment. After I went back and thought it over, I think the game test shouldn’t take too long. I’ll be able to finish the experiment in time, and I can write the thesis during the winter vacation.”
The teacher smiled. “Okay. You can come back to me tomorrow when you’ve thought it over.”
Early the next morning, Xin Yan came to the Faculty of Chemistry’s office and signed his name on the holographic game informed consent form. Ke Shaobin had no idea that he accompanied him for three years in the online game.
It would be a good experience to meet up with Ke Shaobin in this holographic game.
***
Later, they met in the game.
When he met Ke Shaobin, Yue Xingwen, and the other in the first public elective course <Orienteering>, Xin Yan decided to join their team. However, before he could take the initiative to mention it, Yue Xingwen sent the invitation to him first.
Xin Yan went along and joined the Research Group 183.
The reason why he joined this research group was not because there were top students here, nor because this team had strong comprehensive strength and was very likely to pass…
Rather, it was because there was the light that his heart had longed for here.
