[55. I will update even if I die]
Today’s weather is very good. Even the clouds looked light and the air felt fresh.
For an otaku, how the weather was had nothing to do with him. Bai Lian Hua logged onto his penguin account that he had not used for a long time. One by one, he selected the dialogue boxes and then closed them.
A few days ago, he went on a blind date. To be more specific, it couldn’t be called a blind date. It was just that an overly enthusiastic professor wanted to introduce his niece to Bai Lian Hua. His head could be cracked open, his blood can flow but he couldn’t pull a girls pigtails. And so, even if Bai Lian Hua didn’t want to go, he still sat at the restaurant waiting for them.
Not knowing if it was because of her family environment, this woman mostly spoke about “HP, “NP and “lily glass”. (KK: ?? Sorry I don’t get this part) At the end, she even fought to pay the bill and exchanged their penguin accounts. Sure enough, after logging into penguin, the speaker icon flashed and Bai Lian Hua added her as a friend.
Bai Lian Hua didn’t have the chance to send a message to the woman when he suddenly received a notification from someone. “White Lotus? Is it you??” Looking at these words that were displayed on his screen, Bai Lian Hua felt that his expression probably looked very wretched right now.
“Yes Smile brother. Long time no see.” Bai Lian Hua typed and, thinking that it felt too intimate, he removed the word “brother”.
“F*ck! It really is you? Why aren’t you playing the game anymore?” “I’m in fourth year, busy.” “........”
After that was silence. Online friends were always like this. Even for friends in reality, if you don’t see each other for a few days, the relationship will be affected so it wasn’t anything unusual for online friendship.
After a long time, he received a message again from Half Crazy Smile. It was a long message and it was unknown how long it took for him to type it. “On May 1st, the game company will be holding a player meet up at C City. Li Shenzhou said that he sent a letter to the email account registered with your account with the details. It covers the flight, food and accommodation. Are you coming? Also, your account is now at full level. I haven’t transferred the guild ownership, you’re still the guild leader. How can we just change guild leaders just like that? The guild is currently ranked 11th in the world. A little bit more and we will be top ten....Altogether we have one hundred and forty four members. Great God is also in it. Oh that’s right, there’s a few young ladies in the guild that keeps saying that they want to meet you. Want to go and show your face to them?”
Bai Lian Hua was speechless. “Full level? You helped me train?”
Very quickly a response came. “Of course not. That’s right, don’t evade the question. You haven’t told me whether or not your coming to the player meet up?
Meet up.....He didn’t have many friends in the game so there isn’t much point going.
“Forget it.” “You don’t want to see Yun Yu? Don’t want to see Hundred Days Red? Or you can even see Love Heart King!” ”Yun Yu is downstairs outside my dormitory and the other two, I have no interest.”
“Then you don’t want to see your heroic and amazing Smile brother?”
Bai Lian Hua laughed in front of his computer. “You’re not a beauty so why would I want to see you” “You are so cruel.......Lotus, my heart hurts.”
———–“Hurt your head!” Bai Lian Hua hammered out those three words and pressed enter. After it was sent, he glimpsed at the message he had typed and smiled. Although some things can fade with time, the foundation still remained. It was like attending a class reunion and meeting old acquaintances. You couldn’t help but feel nostalgic and happy.
“Hey, are you coming or not? Don’t waste the ticket the company booked for you!”
After a long time, Bai Lian Hua sent a reply: Okay, I’ll come.
In another blink of an eye, two months had passed. One day, on April 21st, Yun Yu brought a letter to Bai Lian Hua who opened it to find a plane ticket and a note inside. On the note was a string of numbers which were followed with a sentence: Smile brothers phone number. He didn’t know if it was written by Smile or Li Shenzhou.
Bai Lian Hua entered the phone number into the phone and threw the small note away.
The ticket was booked at 10am on April 20th and was due to arrive at 2pm. Very thoughtfully, they even included return tickets in the package. But, he had also participated in game meet ups before and didn’t the players usually pay for themselves? Or is it really true that the company is really rich and not short on money? Thinking of the latter, he couldn’t help but feel that the possibility was too small.
He licked his lips and stored his ticket away. The meeting on May 1st sounded very amazing.
Bai Lian Hua suffered from a little bit of airsickness but it is not very serious. Considering that it was only for one day and two nights, he didn’t pack too many clothes and packed very lightly.
The air in C City seemed to be a bit more humid than B City. Bai Lian Hua squinted and slowly looked up at the sky....This scene was supposed to be an artistic scene but the wrong person was at the wrong place at the wrong time. With so many people travelling to C City on May 1st, his figure was quickly drowned out by the crowd.
Once out of the airport, he felt that the air clear up a lot. Although places like the airport is well air-conditioned, he still found it hot and humid. Should he call Smile and ask him to pick him up? Bai Lian Hua scrolled through his phone contacts but eventually returned his phone to his pocket.
Shouldn’t bother him now. It’s not even the weekend so maybe Smile is still working. Say....He really didn’t know how old Smile is. When he thought back to how even the mature and calm (?) Great God was only eighteen, if Smile actually revealed that he is underage, he probably wouldn’t be too surprised? Uh....hopefully?
But fortunately, he isn’t. Just as he arrived at the hotel and logged onto penguin, Half Crazy Smile sent a message over. The contents were too long and Bai Lian Hua directly filtered out the message into the following information: “Bai Lian Hua, which hotel are you at now?” Naturally, he completely ignored the rest of the message which included “Lian Hua wuwu Why didn’t you call me when you landed?” “Lian Hua, Lian Hua, let’s go hang out somewhere tomorrow?”
“A country hotel for twenty dollars a night. You coming?” Bai Lian Hua asked.
Soon, Half Crazy Smile’s response came back: “Okay, brother will keep you company. You just prepare a bed.”
“Who wants you!” Gritting his teeth, Bai Lian Hua furiously typed back.
The address in his email was the address of the hotel. Since it is a hotel, then it meant that they would take care of the meals but thinking about it, it was impossible for them to take care of his breakfast.......Is he just going to lie in the hotel for the whole morning? Thinking of this idea alone was already tragic.....Otherwise, he could go out and play by himself? Should he call up Half Crazy Smile?
In fact, Bai Lian Hua felt that he really was a shy person. More specifically, he just couldn’t speak up about things when he can and when he shouldn’t, he could say things very easily.
He really was a stupid child.
