Chapter 32: Speculation Is Not Always Wrong, But It’s Not Always Right Either
Wang Xinghao and Xu Xiaofeng weren’t in the same college, so they quickly went their separate ways.
Xu Xiaoyue and Xu Xiaofeng not only attended the same college, but they were also in the same class, so they walked together.
The biggest trouble had already been encountered and resolved, which left Xu Xiaofeng feeling considerably lighter in mood.
Of course, Fat Wang would likely be a pain later, but that’s a matter for another time.
Xu Xiaofeng pulled out his phone and opened WX. First, he deleted the chat thread with Fat Wang, and instantly reduced the 99+ notifications to a much more refreshing zero. Then he scanned the messages in the class group.
A month of ignoring WX looked like this. Successfully left Fat Wang hanging all summer; no wonder he had been waiting for him this morning.
Xu Xiaofeng anticipated Fat Wang’s actions, but it turned out they were both on the same wavelength.
That’s not quite right, though—if it weren’t for that slacker teammate, he could have easily come out on top!
As for the messages in the group, his Little Sister would relay the important stuff to him, so anything else wasn’t worth his time.
“Bro, did you have a falling out with Fat Wang?”
“Nope, we’re good! You wouldn’t understand the friendship between men. We split our joys and bear our burdens together—bros are just for selling out! You saw him waiting for me this early, right? He’s definitely here to drag me into some trouble.”
“Oh.” Xu Xiaoyue nodded, seeming to understand, but also not really.
Soon, they arrived at the college building and checked in with their instructor.
Instructor Du, with a quick process, then informed them that there would be a class meeting that evening.
“Why do we have to meet at night, Brother Du?” Xu Xiaofeng didn’t look too happy.
Because in the Otherworld, nighttime meant morning, and that was prime earning time!
Instructor Du paused for a moment, then gave him a playful tap on the shoulder. “You’re looking to play games, huh?”
“You play too, Brother Du?”
“Of course! How could I resist a game that transcends eras? Don’t underestimate me; I’m not that far behind you kids!”
“Seems like I didn’t think that through. How about I send a message in the group later to vote on the meeting time?”
“Sounds good! Because of that, give me your game ID, and I’ll take you flying!”
“Hahaha, sure!”
At that moment, Xu Xiaofeng suddenly realized something was amiss…
Oh no! He had gotten carried away with his bravado! How could he take someone else flying? His character in the game was not comparable to his real-life self!
“Ahem, hey, Little Moon, how about you lead Instructor Du? I find myself a bit… inconvenienced.”
Xu Xiaoyue shot him a glaring look.
Instructor Du, sensing something was off, chuckled, “It’s all good, it’s just a game—playing on your own can be fun too.”
“No, no, a man’s word is his bond! Little Moon, make sure you find some time to take the instructor around; I’ll make it up to you. About your Little Sister…”
“Deal!”
Xu Xiaoyue lit up at that, almost breaking her icy persona.
Instructor Du was in the dark about what was happening between these siblings and could only shrug in resignation.
Once the formalities were out of the way, the two of them left.
They headed to their respective dorms to tidy up.
While they’d rented a place off-campus, sometimes they still needed to crash in the dorm.
Xu Xiaofeng was quick, making his bed, cleaning up, and setting aside the essentials.
Done! Let the fun begin!
Just then, the dorm door swung open.
In walked a tall guy with a suitcase, towering over Xu Xiaofeng by a head.
“Little Wind, good morning! You’re up so early!”
Xu Xiaofeng couldn’t sneak away unnoticed and had to greet him, “Da Bin, morning! Why are you up so early too?”
“Just trying to get the small stuff sorted out.”
“And then…”
“Then, we game!”
A voice chimed in from the entrance—a guy of average build, not too short and not too chubby, except he was still half a head taller than Xu Xiaofeng.
What’s with me and height today? It’s just height! Not like it could feed me!
Xu Xiaofeng shrugged off the bizarre thoughts and turned to say hi: “Bowen, morning. You guys aren’t all…”
“Right on! And I’m here too!”
Shortly after, the last member appeared—he was only slightly shorter than Da Bin but looked pretty slim.
Liu Zhibin, Chen Gaoyun, Zhao Bowen, and Xu Xiaofeng—this was their dorm’s F4.
Nicknames: Da Bin, Da Yun, Bowen, and Little Wind.
Xu Xiaofeng looked at these roommates and seriously doubted his parents’ naming choices. Why were all the others so tall…
Ugh! Still on heights, huh? Can’t shake this topic, can we?
Chen Gaoyun walked in, putting down his stuff, and said, “We three planned to game together. We wanted to call you, but you went MIA. So, what’s up, want in?”
“I didn’t…”
“Don’t tell me you’re not gaming! We just came back from the instructor, and he said you were all eager to game, so he proposed changing the meeting time.”
cr*p! How did I not keep a lid on my mouth? I talked too much!
“But we’re not in the same Beginner’s Village, right?”
“What village are you in?”
“I’m in Village 62…”
“62? What a shame, I thought you were in 66.”
“What’s wrong with 66?”
“Don’t you know it’s the Loli Village?”
Even Loli Village! Who gave it that nickname? Step forward, and I swear I won’t blow you up!
Zhao Bowen suddenly leaned in, grinning: “I’m in Loli Village! Jealous, Little Wind?”
Xu Xiaofeng immediately straightened up, eyes wide, “What?!”
“See? I told you his reaction would be priceless.” Zhao Bowen flashed a peace sign to the others.
This chapter isn’t over yet, so hit the next page for more comedic chaos!
The other two nodded in agreement.
“Little Wind is such a Loli fan…”
“Can’t help it, with his build, he can only handle Lolis. Other types might dominate him.”
“Get lost, you two!” Xu Xiaofeng shouted, seriously turning to Zhao Bowen, “Are you really in Beginner’s Village 66?”
“Yeah, I got lucky.” Zhao Bowen raised an eyebrow, “Let me tell you, I’ve seen Nuclear Bomb Little Sister up close. She’s absolutely adorable. Not even your Loli obsession would stand a chance, I almost turned myself into a fan too.”
Xu Xiaofeng scrunched his face in disgust, “Ugh, gross.”
“I sense some jealousy in the air.”
“Alright, alright, Bowen, stop teasing Little Wind.”
“Okay, okay, add me as a game buddy, and I’ll snap some pics for you in the future.”
“No way! Let me warn you now, stalking is illegal and can get you up to three years in prison.”
With that, Xu Xiaofeng dashed out of the dorm, leaving his three buddies in stunned silence.
“What was that about?”
“No idea.”
“Did Bowen go too far?”
“Shouldn’t be. He’s still one of us; this kind of joke is normal…”
“Then… did the red tide arrive?”
At that, Da Bin and Bowen quickly turned their stares onto Da Yun, giving him the chills.
“Ahem… I was just joking. What do you mean by a ‘red tide’ for boys?”
Da Bin seemed lost in thought, hesitantly adding, “But Little Wind… might be a bit different? After all, he is the campus flower. Didn’t Yu say something about that…”
“By the way, did any of you notice… Little Wind seems to have grown his hair long and tied it back?”
“Wait, could it be… true?!”
The three guys spiraled into a brainstorming session, feeling more and more convinced they were onto something.
