Are his mom and auntie teasing him? Are they setting him up for a blind date?
He Jin felt like he was being struck by lightning! He was a guy, and he was still in his third year of university, but his mom and auntie were already trying to find a marriage partner for him! Was he living in the olden days?!
He Jin's heart was pounding with anger, but he didn't say anything. It was Chinese New Year's Eve, and he didn't want to cause trouble. He could only empathize and think that maybe the two women were just chatting … But if his mom really brought it up, he definitely wouldn't go!
He Jin endured it silently. His wristband vibrated. It was a message from Shang Huo. They were just discussing what to eat for reunion dinner and the Spring Festival Gala.
He Jin didn't realize that even though he always said that it was a relationship in the game, his interaction with Shang Huo had slowly extended to the real world …
He Jin felt an inexplicable sense of comfort when he saw the person's name and the comment he made about the skit. He quickly replied and immersed himself in the conversation with Shang Huo, as if he had found a temporary shelter and used this opportunity to forget about the depressing environment he was in.
After a while, Shang Huo suddenly asked, "Why are you acting so weird today?"
He Jin was surprised. "What's weird?"
Shang Huo: "More clingy than usual."
Ah Jin: "…"
Shang Huo: "Do you miss me?"
He Jin's fingers froze, surprised at the other person's keen senses.
Ah Jin: "Yeah."
For the first time, he admitted that he missed Shang Huo, and that he needed him.
He Jin sent that word, but there was no reply for a long time. He glanced at his wristband every two seconds and waited for a minute before Shang Huo replied.
Shang Huo: "I miss you too."
He Jin's furrowed brows relaxed when he saw that. His palms felt warm and his heart felt sweet, as if he had been fed a piece of candy.
Shang Huo followed up with another message, "I was so excited just now that I took a few pictures of me and wanted to send them to you, but I was afraid that I would scare you, so I deleted them."
After that, Shang Huo sent a picture. He Jin took a look. It was a picture of Shang Huo in the game. This kind of picture was everywhere on Tieba forums. No one knew where Shang Huo had downloaded it from, but the watermark was still there.
Shang Huo: "Just put up with it for a while. Look at this and think of me."
He Jin almost laughed out loud. His eyebrows and eyes were filled with sweetness and longing, and the surrounding air was filled with an ambiguous smell.
Mrs. He and her aunt's conversation came to an end. When she turned her head, she saw her son's expression …
There was a saying, which young girl didn't yearn for love, which young boy didn't fall in love, even an old lady in her seventies or eighties had experienced the age of budding love, seeing her son like this, Mother He knew very well what it meant …
Perhaps He Jin was in love.
He Jin did not know that his mother had already noticed his abnormality. He focused on the projection interface and continued chatting with Shang Huo.
Ah Jin: "Why are you afraid of scaring me? Are you ugly?"
He suddenly started to be curious about Shang Huo's appearance in real life. His looks, his height, what would he look like … At this moment, he could not help but think of what Li Yaoyao had said to Xu Jing 'er when they were on the lake previously — those with a nice voice on the internet would definitely be extremely ugly in real life, and those with a magnetic voice would probably be fat.
Coincidentally, Shang Huo asked him back, "If I was ugly, would you despise me?"
Uh, the corner of He Jin's eye twitched. If that was really the case, then it would be quite a contrast. However, He Jin felt that no matter what, Shang Huo would not be that ugly, right? After all, the other party's charisma was still there.
He was face blind. His understanding of a person was more based on the feelings he got from interacting with that person.
He Jin replied to Shang Huo: "You don't even despise me for being a man, why would I despise you for being ugly?"
It was only after sending this sentence that he realized that he had unconsciously said "words of love" … This was probably the first time he had said something in more than twenty years, and it was also the most explicit and most mushy words of love!
As expected, Shang Huo did not reply again. He Jin shyly turned off the projection bracelet and pretended to be calm as he looked at the television. However, he was still anxiously waiting for the other party's reply. He was both nervous and expectant.
Qin Yang was also sitting in front of the television with his family watching the Spring Festival Gala. When he saw He Jin's message, he was completely stunned. After a few seconds, he began to chuckle.
Qin Yang was also annoyed. He was annoyed that he had tried so hard to tease and entice the other party to have the slightest reaction, but the other party's casual words had instantly turned him back into the silly boy from eight years ago who had just experienced his first awakening of love. This was really unfair …
His younger brother began to be mischievous again, pouncing on him and using him as a punching bag to practice boxing. Qin Yang did not feel any pain, but he instinctively kneed the brat.
He threatened, "Don't bother me, or I'll beat you up!"
His younger brother became more well-behaved. Not far away, he flaunted the new moves he had recently learned from the taekwondo dojo in an attempt to attract his brother's attention. However, Qin Yang did not care about him at all. He only wanted to rack his brains to fall in love with another boy.
At midnight, He Jin, who had already returned home, received a Happy New Year message from Shang Huo. There were also many messages from his classmates, including Tong Xuan, Hou Dongyan, and even Jiang Baijian … but there was no message from Qin Yang.
He Jin hesitated for a moment before sending Qin Yang a message, but Qin Yang only replied with a smiling emoticon.
As he had to wake up early the next day to pay his respects to his elders, He Jin did not go online that night. He said goodnight to Shang Huo early and went to bed.
At three in the morning, He Jin's door opened silently. A dark figure crept in. Without turning on the lights, she quietly walked to He Jin's bedside and sat down.
The woman quietly watched her sleeping son. After a while, she quietly crept under the blanket and found the bracelet on He Jin's wrist.
She squatted down, lifted a corner of the blanket, and tried to turn on the bracelet. However, it did not work. The bracelet was unlocked by the pupil. When she looked at it, the sensor light only flashed a red light. Other than that, there was no reaction …
She was very anxious. For a moment, she wanted to wake her son up and get him to confess to her who he had been contacting recently, who he had been chatting with at his grandmother's house, and whether he had fallen in love behind her back. If he had, why didn't he tell her? What kind of person was he? Was he lying to her …
She thought about it for a long time. She did not sleep for the first half of the night, which was why she could not help but sneak into her son's room. But now, looking at her son's sleeping face, she finally resisted the urge to wake him up and interrogate him. She quietly got up and left.
He Jin slept very soundly. He did not notice that his mother had come in the middle of the night. When he woke up in the morning and turned on the bracelet, he saw a message appear on the projection. It said that the pupil had been unlocked wrongly more than ten times, reminding him to confirm that his identity was safe.
He Jin was a little puzzled. Ever since he bought the bracelet, there had never been such a problem. Had he looked at the bracelet in his dream last night?
That was not right. If he had looked at it, he would definitely be able to unlock it … Could it be that someone else had been here?
He Jin quickly thought of the only suspect — his mother. However, He Jin felt that no matter how perverted his mother was, she would not sneak into his room in the middle of the night, right? Perhaps the bracelet had matched some wrong signal.
