[Online Gaming] Love You 59 Seconds Chapter 50

Proofreader: Jesse

Translator's Words: Hi guys, my apology for the super late update. I've just got back from a graduation party, and totally worn out T.T But I hope this is not too late~ have fun reading~ ^^ 

Right at 11 o'clock, Wu Han Ying logged out of the game. Talking about it, he was also very tired today, after he finished was.h.i.+ng up, he immediately crashed onto his bed and slept. He had a lot of fun today since he got to tease Love You 59 Seconds a lot, but since he only had a few hours of sleep last night and had to wake up "early", once his head met the pillow he immediately went off to the wonderland of dreams.

As for how Love You 59 Seconds knew he was from Beijing and which school he goes to. Wu Han Ying did question them at first, but after teasing Love You 59 Seconds for a long while, naturally...he forgot about the matter as the topic got s.h.i.+fted to something else.

And when Xia Chen learned that Xiao Wu is also from this school, he felt b.u.t.terflies fluttering around inside, it could be said he was "excited". It turned out that the world is very small, it was as if two people turned around they would see each other.

As he looked at the grayish colored name on the screen, Xia Chen had to say for a moment he had this urge of wanting to know who Xiao Wu really is. Whether the boy is someone he knows or not, but in the end he just laughed it off and did not try to do anything.

Sometimes this hazy unknown feeling is much better than the reality of the matter. If Xiao Wu really is his own student, he bet the other must be really afraid of him.

{Translator Opinion: I'm sorry but I have to laugh here. Because Xia Chen knows that his stoic face does scare a lot of people off XDDD and he was right on. Wu Han Ying at first didn't like him one bit XDDD only after the zoo incident~ their relations.h.i.+p as teacher and student got better^^}

But sometimes, both unintentional and intentional need a coincidental chance to spark.

Wu Han Ying had been very busy these past few days, since he kept on procrastinating with his term papers and year-end projects. Day after day, he kept on procrastinating until he couldn't any longer and finally had to suck it up and work on it. It had all piled up and had become a huge work load. He spent several days completing everything, he did not even have time to sleep; how could he have time to play the game? Moreover, he had sent his resume out to several companies that are offering interns.h.i.+p positions; he had the intention of gaining some work experience through an interns.h.i.+p while on the break.

During the term end period, Xia Chen usually was not that busy, so he still logged into the game like usual. Love You 59 Seconds account was still at level 90, he had not even moved up one level. Everyone in the guild joked that if TLBB has the downgrade level function, eighty-percent of the people said that Lao Da's level would be a negative number.

Xiao Wu's account was already at level 90, even though he had not yet inlaid the stones to the equipment, Xia Chen personally leveled it up all by himself.

Jun Zhe would call to tease him, saying that he paid other people to level up his own account, yet he personally helped Xiao Wu level up. If it wasn't because he fancied the other, then what.

Xia Chen only smiled and ignored the other's antics. If you asked whether he likes Xiao Wu or not, Xia Chen could not give you the exact answer. Like? Or don't like? More like he did not know. Perhaps as Jun Zhe said, he has a high IQ but a very low EQ, even he himself did not know whether he liked Xiao Wu or not.

Then again, these past few days Xiao Wu didn't log in, Love You 59 Seconds' daily routine was the same. He played the game like usual, after he finished his meal he would log into the game and then only log out at around 1 or 2 o'clock. However, Xiao Xiao Xiao and the others said that they should not provoke Lao Da when Sao Zi wasn't around, because Lao Da gave off this very unusual murderous aura; someone could get frozen to death even standing outside of the 800 miles radius. They said he logged into two accounts and took Sao Zi to level up. He had done nothing but level up Xiao Wu's account, compared to those paid players, his leveling performance was so much faster.

Thursday night, like always Xia Chen logged into the game and took Xiao Wu's account to level up; he opened two TLBB windows and placed them next to each other, then picked a good place to turn on auto kill. After that he opened his mailbox and started to busy himself with the work from his own company.

{Translator Input: Seriously, I totally forgot about his company XDDDD until now XDDD}

These days Xiao Wu was not online, Qi Yue Wei was also not online, and the guild members seemed to have forgotten about the woman. Xia Chen did not want to mention her again, it was not like she just disappeared into thin air, but someone secretly interfered with her work over there. This interference caused her to become so busy that she did not have the time to think about playing the game.

Xia Chen looked at the ma.s.sive number of unread messages in his email and immediately felt a minor migraine coming on, perhaps he had done too much of a drastic change to his plan. He was the only one who handled everything in the company. He clicked on an unread message and started to read the content.

After reading through a few messages, the hand holding the mouse made a sudden pause. He and Xiao Wu had exchanged a few email messages, so he memorized the email address. However, all of those times he didn't use this email to communicate with the other.

To apply for an interns.h.i.+p? Xia Chen smiled as he looked at the message. Just a few days ago he learned that they are from the same school, today the other person already sent over an email. Can this be considered that the other is trying to seduce him? {Translator Opinion: >.> Lao Da, I didn't know you were such a narcissist! =.=}

He clicked to open the mail, the resume is written directly in the mail and no attachment. Xia Chen scrolled down to skim over it, he then looked at the three letter name at the end, he had to say he was a little surprised.

Wu Han Ying...

It was a surprise, but then again it was not much of a surprise. Xia Chen looked at the three letters "Wu Han Ying" and felt that he received the same feeling as "Xiao Wu", even his real name is very fitting.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Wu Han Ying ran downstairs to buy a hamburger to fill his empty stomach, as he was about to go back upstairs the phone started to ring. He fished it out of his pocket, when he looked at the screen a set of numbers that he didn't recognize appeared. After he hung up the call, he was super excited, it was a call from one of the companies he had applied for an interns.h.i.+p, they told him to come in for an interview on Sunday morning.

Wu Han Ying ran back upstairs, only then did he realize that he has an interview on Sunday, but he does not have a suit. It was settled, Sat.u.r.day he has to go buy one. The interview place is not too far away from home, maybe I should go home on Friday, so I won't be late for Sunday morning. So there was no way he could play the game this weekend.

He logged into QQ and saw "Wifey" is online. He and Love You 59 Seconds' had the same avatar and the same background, although they didn't use the default avatar, their QQ active points were zero so they both had a white background. At first, Wu Han Ying thought it was due to the super slow school internet and couldn't load even an avatar picture...

Xiao Wu 21:17:11

Are you there?

Wifey 21:17:34

Yeah

Xiao Wu 21:18:30

Hubbie has to go to an interview on Sunday, so hubbie might not be able to log into the game

Wifey 21:18:41

Um

Wifey 21:18:56

I'll help you level up, don't worry

Xiao Wu 21:19:11

Wifey, you're so good XD

Wifey 21:19:13

............

Wifey 21:19:21

Study for your exams

Xiao Wu 21:19:28

Wifey is very caring XD

Wu Han Ying chatted with Love You 59 Seconds for quite some time, but he still obediently checked his school work; even though he had finished his homework, he still needed to read the books. After all there are some closed book exams.

Although they did not have early cla.s.ses the next morning, everyone still woke up early to clean up their dorm room and pack their stuff. They wanted to get ready so they could head straight home right after they finished their afternoon cla.s.ses; they also wanted to skip a trip up and down the six flights to their dorm room.

This week Wu Han Ying was also going to go home, he decided to take his laptop with him after quite a bit of debating; although it would add some weight to his backpack, it was just in case the company he was interviewing for the interns.h.i.+p happen to send him new updates through email; it would be bad if he were to miss them.

By the time he finished his afternoon cla.s.s, it just so happened to be dismissed at the same hour as the neighboring elementary school, so there were a lot of people waiting at the bus station. Wu Han Ying had planned to ride the bus with Jiang Tan and the others, but as he pa.s.sed by the school parking lot, someone called out to him. At first he thought he heard it wrong.

He looked up and in front of him, there stood someone in a black coat with frameless gla.s.ses, no doubt it was Xia Chen and no one else.

"Professor Xia..." Wu Han Ying was slow to react.

"You are going home ah, then get in." Xia Chen did not say much, he just pointed at his car and gestured for the other to get in.

Wu Han Ying was muddled up in his thoughts and just stood there with his mouth gaping open not knowing what to say. Xia Chen felt somewhat amused, last night the boy was happily teasing him, yet now the boy was in an awkward stupor.

"Sending you back is on the way." Xia Chen reached his hand out and touched the boy's shoulders. He pulled him to the opened pa.s.senger door and pushed him into the seat then closed the door. After he was done he walked around to the driver side.

Wu Han Ying sat in the pa.s.senger seat, his fingers had gotten quite stiff... he was a little nervous. He had wanted to say that he did not want to trouble Professor Xia and he could take the bus home.

But...by now the other man had started the car, he could not just say that sentence and then jump out of the car...

"Thank you, Professor Xia." Wu Han Ying's face stiffened up. Speaking of which, he had been in Xia Chen's car twice, but those two times he was sitting in the backseat. Xiao Shang was with them the first time and the second time he was asleep the whole way, so consequently he did not know much...

"If you want to sleep, cover yourself up with the coat."

"Yes..." Wu Han Ying answered; when Xia Chen got into the car, he took off the coat and draped it on the back of his seat. Wu Han Ying glanced over at the hanging trench coat, he didn't reach out for it; how could he sleep anyway. The owner of the car was not just giving him a ride home but he was also taking over the job of chauffeur. How could he be insensible and snore his way away. If he were to sit in the back, he would have played dead...

The car drive was very quiet, Xia Chen did not like to talk much, plus he did not have the habit of listening to music on the drive. Wu Han Ying really did not know what was a good topic to talk about. So at first he was looking left and right, but after awhile he did not know what else to do, so he took out his phone and pretended to play with it.

He then remembered that he didn't tell his family he is coming back for the weekend. He wondered if they would save food for a meal for when he gets home.

"I'm making a phone call."

Wu Han Ying saw Xia Chen slightly nod before he made a call home. The other line rang a few times but no one answered, he had thought that no one was at home and just as he was about to hang up, someone picked up.

Xia Chen focused on driving while he listened to what Wu Han Ying said to the person on the other side of phone "I'll be home in a bit." It seems the speaker on the other line was a woman with a very loud voice, she was saying "Why didn't you let us know in advance? Your grandmother went back to the countryside to visit some relatives and won't come back until next week. Your uncle and I are about to take your sister* out."

{Translator Input: I had explained this back in chapter 38, but I'll say it again. Since Wu Han Ying and his little cousin are related by a paternal bloodline (Wu Han Ying's father is the older brother of this cousin's father), so it's normal for his little cousin to be seen as Wu Han Ying's sister. And the family member would call them brother and sister, instead of just cousins.}

Wu Han Ying touched his pocket, "I don't have the keys with me. I'm at Fu Cheng Men now, I'll be home shortly."

"There is a traffic jam at Fu Cheng Men, the soonest you would get home would be an hour. We have already made plans with people and it's not polite to make them wait. How come you didn't bring the keys with you when you left ah."

Wu Han Ying frowned and did not say anything about how he forgot to bring his keys with him when he left last time; if only he had remembered he would have had the whole quiet home to himself, it was such a rare chance.

"We're eating out tonight, so we're expecting to be back some time past 10 o'clock. Go to McDonald's and wait for us to get back. I'll hang up now."

Wu Han Ying did not say anything and directly hung up the call. He looked outside and saw that it was getting dark, he really did not feeling like sitting somewhere to wait for them until 10 o'clock.

"Professor Xia, please stop somewhere on the road. I want to take the bus back to school." Wu Han Ying clutched his phone. It was better to go back to school, plus as long as he wakes up a bit earlier on Sunday, there would not be any traffic.

"No one is home?" Xia Chen did not stop his car, he could sort of hear the conversation even with the distance between them.

"Yeah." Wu Han Ying unconsciously touched the bridge of his nose, "I forgot to take the key when I headed out, it's better to go back to school..."

"Go to my house then, it's not too far from yours. You can wait until your family is back home, then I'll send you home." Xia Chen did not wait for him to finish.

"Ah...?!" Wu Han Ying was shocked and tilted his head to look Xia Chen in the eyes, "that's not good...that's too troublesome for you."

"Not a problem, I live by myself." said Xia Chen as he directly drove to his house. Wu Han Ying always thought his voice was calm, with a mix of a domineering edge to it that left no room for rejection.

Wu Han Ying recognized the place, as Xia Chen said their houses were not too far from each other, they were just a block away. His was in the new homes community and the floor was still very new.

Just by looking at Professor Xia's luxury car, he had always felt that the other must be living in a very luxurious place as well, like a two-story style or something. However, as he walked through the door, he felt relieved that it was just a common one floor plan, tower home.

The house has very high ceilings and is not too big, it looks like it is less than 60 square meters. One living room and two rooms; one of the room is the bedroom, while the other is the study room.

Wu Han Ying sat down on the sofa, he could feel himself becoming less nervous as the time pa.s.sed; fortunately this place was not one of those hundreds of square meters with a very luxurious design, or else he would not know where to put his feet in the place.

Xia Chen's house did not have a lot of stuff, the design was very simple and organized. He had all of the necessities so it gave off a homey feeling to others. Somehow this was just like him, very meticulous.

"Should we call for take-out or just eat whatever we have in the house?" Xia Chen looked at Wu Han Ying sitting rigidly on the sofa and smiled.

"Just whatever we have in the house." Wu Han Ying waved his hand, earlier he had glanced over at the take-out menu on the coffee table; all of the prices were super expensive, and he had never heard of the restaurant before.

"Then how about fried rice? Since there is nothing much anyway." Xia Chen nodded and walked into the kitchen to look around, then he headed out to the balcony to scoop a cup of rice from the rice container.

Wu Han Ying watched as Xia Chen returning to the kitchen, only then did it dawn on him that Professor Xia wants...to do the cooking?
