Guide on How to Fail at Online Dating

Ch30 - Beautiful roses all have thorns.

When Jing Huan returned to his table, Gao Zixiang immediately peeked over. "Huanhuan, were you talking to Xiang Huaizhi?"

"Yeah." Jing Huan handed him the milk tea. "Yours."

Gao Zixiang poked through the plastic lid with a straw. "When did you get so familiar with him?"

Jing Huan shook his head. "Not familiar with him."

Gao Zixiang uttered an "oh". "I thought you guys knew each other."

Jing Huan yawned. He had played the game until late at night and had an 8am class this morning, so he had been sleepy the entire day. "We usually don't even bump into each other, how would we even get acquainted?"

It would've been okay if they were still in high school, since it was easy to bump into each other when there were classes at fixed times every day. But in college, schedules and locations for classes were all different, and even the basketball courts they used were different. After studying here for more than a year, it was his first time seeing Xiang Huaizhi in the stairwell the other day.

"Acquainted through games bei." Gao Zixiang swallowed a pearl. "Senior Xiang plays NCH too."

Jing Huan was a little surprised. "Really?"

"Really, I know his dorm mate, he plays NCH too, and it seems like he's even a Great God. Met at the last player's meeting." Gao Zixiang said.

Jing Huan asked, "Which server are they in?"

"Seems like they're in... Resplendent Stars? I don't remember."

Jing Huan nodded and murmured, "... I couldn't tell."

"What couldn't you tell?"

"That Xiang Huaizhi would actually play games."

Gao Zixiang laughed. "Do you think you look like a young man with an Internet addiction?"

Jing Huan laughed as well. He looked down and finished eating the remaining braised meatballs.

Xiang Huaizhi returned to his dormitory and picked up the cloth beside the washstand to wipe his shoe with.

The cloth was dry and couldn't wipe it clean. He gave up and decided to send it for washing when he was free.

"What happened to your shoe?" Lu Hang came out of the bathroom and scrutinised it while wiping his hair with a towel. "Yo, the print's pretty obvious, did it get stepped on? Who stepped on it so hard?"

Xiang Huaizhi, "A junior."

"A junior? Which junior? You know juniors??"

Only then did Xiang Huaizhi realise that he didn't know the junior brother's name, and only remembered his friends calling him "Huanhuan."

"Why are you asking so much?" He said, "Finished collecting all the materials?"

"No," Lu Hang felt frustrated at the mention of that, "I've been shouting around in the entire room, and not a single person PM-ed me. Say, why is it so hard for me to make a divine artifact?"

Xiang Huaizhi sneered. "I had to collect materials for half a year before I finished collecting them all."

Lu Hang, who was already more or less done collecting his materials in just a month instantly felt satisfied.

Xiang Huaizhi sat in front of his laptop. He had afk-ed his character at a corner of Fairyland before leaving, and right now, there was a little fairy fox sitting in front of his character.

The Fairyland was pretty big, yet she could still find him.

Xiang Huaizhi charged his phone. Right after it was turned on, he heard a soft ding from his WeChat.
