A group of Seven Silver Coins members received a peculiar message from Han Yuze.
The content was straightforward and brusque:
[Yu Weize: Share your addresses with me for sending gifts.]
Since it was a collective dispatch, no one felt anything amiss. They assumed it was a team bonus for gearing up for Nianhua Cup and promptly provided their addresses.
A few days later, they received a silent delivery at their doorsteps.
“Could you please explain why this thing was sent to us?” Muchuan Pants went straight to the point upon logging in, holding a meticulously carved wooden figurine, mocking, “I could make a car full of these figures in a day. Do you want me to send some over to you guys as well?”
“I know you’re good at craftsmanship,” Han Yuze pacified, attempting to awaken the other’s sensitive side, “But when you look at this pair of figurines, don’t you feel something special about them?”
Muchuan Pants furrowed his brow. “What feeling?”
“For instance, a longing for love?” Han Yuze suggested.
“…,” Muchuan Pants directly thrust the knight’s lance he was holding.
Jiang Shi sat against a nearby tree, observing Han Yuze being chased, holding his head, and running around. He looked up at the deep blue sky, squinting contentedly.
Hmm, the weather in the Genesis had been really nice these days.
Muchuan Pants wasn’t the only one who received Han Yuze’s special “gift.”
It could be said that when everyone opened the delivery box, they experienced almost the same complex feelings.
This disguised act of throwing dog food wasn’t entirely ineffective, but behind this action lay a particular problem. Since these were the Seven Silver Coins guild’s series of figurines, besides Yu Weize and PoisonedMilk, where were the other five?
Han Yuze’s reply remained dismissive, as usual: “It’s not important; don’t worry about the details.”
Members of Seven Silver Coins: ?
Who do you mean isn’t important?!
That day, the number of people chasing Han Yuze increased from one to the entire Seven Silver Coins group.
Watching the lively scene before him, Jiang Shi smiled gently and reminded Serious Young Man beside him, “Take note, this collective attack training method seems quite effective.”
Serious Young Man, accustomed to his master’s unfeeling attitude, diligently recorded the scene.
As they planned the next training session, a figure flashed by, and a green head appeared in their field of vision.
Jiang Shi, familiar with Han Yuze’s apprentice, noticed the hesitant expression on Green Fanatic’s face and blinked, “Got some gossip again?”
Green Fanatic scratched his cheek sheepishly, “Please don’t say it like that, Master. It makes me sound like I have no other interests besides gossip.”
Jiang Shi raised an eyebrow, “Hmm?”
“Okay, fine, I do have some gossip,” he confessed.
He conjured up a virtual interface, pushed it toward Jiang Shi, and watched his reaction attentively.
The official forum’s gossip section had a particularly eye-catching title: [Shocking! PoisonedMilk and a Mysterious Man Spotted on an Offline Date?]
Jiang Shi glanced briefly at it and had a vague idea. As he scrolled down, he came across the exact scene of him and Han Yuze’s date at the Genesis-themed store.
The angle of the photo was captured exceptionally well, precisely at the moment when Han Yuze held a pair of figurines in his hands, his gaze slightly tilted, smiling, fixedly focused on him.
Without speaking, Jiang Shi stared at the photo intently.
Actually, he hadn’t noticed before. His expression when looking at Han Yu Ze seemed so calm, but there was a hidden excitement in his eyes.
Was this the look one should have when facing someone they liked?
Even Jiang Shi himself felt this way. Needless to say, others probably did too.
As he scrolled a little further, the content of the post was exactly as he had expected:
[User 8l: The man with PoisonedMilk on a date… Is he the same as the one from the previous rumor? Looks like the rumor was true. PoisonedMilk indeed has a boyfriend?!]
[User 14l: Wait, I’m a bit confused. What does this mean? Is my ship sinking already?]
[User 22l: It shouldn’t be. Judging from their performance in Nianhua Cup, PoisonedMilk and Yu Weize have been cooperating quite well. They should be doing okay.]
[User 35l: What’s so strange about it? It’s been so long since the confession in San Tingpo. If there’s no follow-up by now, it’s probably over.]
[User 46l: Even if it’s over, they can still play together? I might have to reconsider Yu Weize! He didn’t seem so open-minded in my mind before.]
[User 65l: I feel like Milk might be deceiving Yu. Otherwise, why would anyone give up such a great opportunity to join a professional guild and come to Seven Silver Coins, a small guild?]
[User 73l: What’s wrong with Seven Silver Coins? They’ve said their goal is to become champions at the Century Cup!]
[User 82l: Hilarious. Champions of the Century Cup? I can also claim to be a World Cup champion. Do I look like one?]
[User 94l: Some of the earlier comments are hilarious. Does PoisonedMilk need to deceive Yu Weize? Guess what, he’s trying to apply to a professional guild himself. Would the guild management laugh themselves to death?]
[User 122l: After flipping through so many pages, I have only one thought: Watch the game; obsessing over someone’s private life is just pure idleness.]
…
Jiang Shi was fairly absorbed in reading, making the nearby Green Fanatic hesitant to interrupt for a while.
But since he couldn’t quite gauge the atmosphere, after a short while, he cautiously probed, “Master, about this… Clearly, it’s a date with Master, right? Shouldn’t we consider clarifying it?”
Jiang Shi nodded. “Yes.”
After all, he was already with Han Yuze. Though it was a private matter, since it had garnered attention, there was naturally no need to keep it hidden.
As he continued reading, Jiang Shi asked the Green Fanatic, “Did your master see this post?”
“He did,” the Green Fanatic replied. “I just forwarded it to him.”
Jiang Shi’s action of scrolling paused for a moment. He asked, “When did you forward it?”
“Just before coming to find you?” the Green Fanatic responded.
Jiang Shi instinctively glanced at the increasingly heated chase scene, vaguely sensing something.
Continuing to scroll rapidly, the contents of the replies in those few floor levels were like this:
[223l: Hey everyone, is there a possibility that this man is God Yu himself?]
[278l: Recently, Yu and Milk have always had a good relationship. Maybe these two have already moved offline, right?]
[335l: Ah, I don’t like hearing you guys say this. What, playing both sides? If this is disproved later, are you prepared to apologize?]
[346l: No, how could I be deliberately misleading? I simply firmly believe that PoisonedMilk and Yu Weize must be an ordinary CP fan!]
[376l: Hmm, thanks for all the support, fellow Fanatic. I just think there’s no need to get so excited before the truth is revealed, right? Kisses?]
[455l: Yes, yes, I also think the two in the photo look particularly compatible. If it’s really God Yu himself, I might take off on the spot~]
[498l: Ladies, don’t get so excited. What if it turns out just as I suspected! Ahhh, the synchronization in the game and offline is amazing!]
[566l: Stop arguing and let the insider spill the beans. I promise you won’t be disappointed!]
Jiang Shi: “…”
Even the Chairman’s customer service tone came out at the end. It was really embarrassing, not knowing any shame.
Ignoring how this person managed to run a forum while being chased, the atmosphere of the comments was so recognizable that one couldn’t simply overlook it.
Jiang Shi looked at the ID of Shi Zhi Bu Yu and raised an eyebrow. He nonchalantly logged into his account and replied.
[This is PoisonedMilk: @Shi Zhi Bu Yu, Need an official announcement? Sure, let’s announce it together. The people in the photo are me and Yu Weize (@Shi Zhi Bu Yu) himself. Thank you for your concern; we are already together~ #Smile#Smile#Smile]
This post was one of the top threads on the forum today, and the responses flooded in.
After Jiang Shi’s reply, it was quickly buried, and it took a while for netizens to notice it gradually.
Then, one by one, they completely lost it.
[669l: Wait a minute, was that 620l’s reply just now, ‘himself‘?!]
[698l: D*mn, I saw it. That tone, could it really be PoisonedMilk herself!]
[712l: My focus is… the one called Shi Zhi Bu Yu is God Yu?]
[723l: Hahaha, this wave of betrayal is killing me. Going back to see the comments from God Yu’s disguised profile, this twist is so splendid.]
[777l: Love and betrayal series?]
[822l: Didn’t expect this. On closer inspection… God Yu, you’re really something.]
[843l: Rumors come easily, but clarifying them is so tough. Watching God Yu try so hard to lead, it’s both funny and sad, right?]
…
[878l: God Yu, are you still there? Your disguise has been exposed!]
[922l: Hahaha, kisses again! I can’t look at these words anymore.]
[931l: This… the closer someone is, the more ruthless they are, right? Going back to see the earlier comments, God Yu might want to die of embarrassment.]
[945l: Ahhhh, lol! Help! Mom, my ship is officially announced! Ahhhhh (520 characters omitted)!]
[962l: …You’re disturbing my eyes, upstairs.]
[988l: God Milk ahhh! God Yu hahaha! I’m not crazy!]
Jiang Shi looked at the post with great satisfaction.
He leisurely scrolled through for a while until the battle next door finally drew to a close.
Because he was so focused, it wasn’t until someone tapped his shoulder that Jiang Shi turned around to look.
He met a pair of close eyes.
Han Yuze looked straight at him. “Are you happy?”
Jiang Shi showed no signs of guilt and countered, “With the announcement made, are you happy?”
“Happiness? Of course, but…”
At first, Han Yuze seemed prepared to question him about the exposed disguise, but Jiang Shi’s response left him somewhat unable to maintain that questioning expression. He could only helplessly chuckle, burying his face in his palm, and softened his tone when leaning in closer, “Forget it, nothing else matters. Shouldn’t we… compensate for the loss of dignity on my old face on such a memorable day, huh?”
The slightly prolonged tone carried a clear hint.
Pretending not to notice, Jiang Shi said, “Hmm? You have an old face?”
Han Yuze looked straight at him but remained silent.
There was a sudden quietness around them.
Jiang Shi’s eyelashes drooped slightly. Unable to resist, he curved his lips slightly and leaned forward a bit, gently planting a kiss.
The Seven Silver Coins members who had just returned from chasing Han Yuze saw this scene when they raised their heads: “…D*mn?!”
poor the members hahah
