Chapter 945: Confession and Surprise

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Happy, you… sat over there for a long time. Do you… maybe have something troubling you?”

This Xu Yao practically did not dare look Happy in the eye, even though when the game had just been launched, Xu Yao had not bothered to regard Happy as anyone important when she was still the leader of the disciplinary committee.

“No.”

When Xu Yao heard Happy’s answer, she sank into silence again. Although she did not believe him one bit, she did not dare show it on his face.

When he saw Xu Yao, who was supposed to be his girlfriend as well in this world, act like a timid white rabbit, Happy cannot help but laugh. “Xu Yao, are you afraid of me?”

“Of course not… I mean, no…”

She had practically said the first half of her sentence instinctively, but she hunched her shoulders, and she no longer sounded as confident during the second half.

“And you say you aren’t?” Xu Yao’s expression caused Happy to temporarily cast aside the grave emotions he previously had, and he cannot help but tease her. “Your posture is directed at the bedroom, and this shows that you’re eager to run back into your bedroom. You might even hide under your blanket while shivering. Say, I’m not that scary, am I?”

Xu Yao said nothing, but once Happy started teasing her, Xu Yao straightened her body slightly while her face burned with embarrassment. “And you’re talking about me? You were sighing all the while on the balcony just now. Are you really that disappointed? If I were not around, you would have found a chance to hold Xin’er by now, right?”

“Nonsense.” Happy’s expression changed slightly.

Xu Yao could not see Happy’s expression, and she thought that she hit the mark about what was troubling Happy, so she immediately said in a vengeful tone, “And you’re saying that I’m running my mouth off now? Over the past two days, you will only come out for a while to eat, and we can’t even see you. Besides, you always bring your food into the bedroom. There’s no way I will believe you if you say that you aren’t mad at Xin’er.”

Happy said nothing.

“I have to say, I can tell that Xin’er is already regretting her decision, but she can’t find it in herself to ask me to leave. I can actually move away tomorrow so that you can enjoy your life together. Even though you’re usually pretty fierce with me, we all know how you really are, and Xin’er won’t be making a mistake being together with you.”

“You’re leaving?”

“Yeah. You’re going through an argument right now, and I’m suffering being stuck in the middle. It’ll be better if I leave now,” Xu Yao answered with a smile.

Happy suddenly sucked in a deep breath and said, “You don’t have to leave. Let me tell you a story.”

“Huh?” Xu Yao was instantly stunned.

‘A story?’

Why was the strongest player in the Chinese server telling him a story now?

Xu Yao could not help but have her brain short-circuit.

Happy did not care about that. His act of moving to and fro between worlds already caused him to not know how to handle the subsequent matters.

After all, this body was Chen Kaixin’s.

Happy did not wish to continue hiding this matter.

If Xu Yao truly left so that Xu Xin and Chen Kaixin can cohabit, Happy might end up suffering through a mental breakdown, and Chen Kaixin, too, will go through the same thing.

The current Happy liked Xu Xin, but Chen Kaixin cared about Xu Yao, whom he was supposed to develop a relationship with.

Once Chen Kaixin and Xu Xin got together, they will definitely end up rejecting each other.

Happy absolutely did not want that to happen.

Besides, he should not continue hiding this matter either.

He might not have thought of this before, but now, if he continued hiding it, it will be unfair to him, Chen Kaixin, and Xu Xin.

With a grave tone, Happy began telling Xu Yao about his story in the other world.

And Xu Yao, who listened, had her petite mouth slowly fall open, and she stared at Happy in disbelief. There was skepticism in her eyes, along with a faint hint of derision.

When she reached the middle part of his narration, Xu Yao was finally unable to hold herself back from speaking up to interrupt him. “Did you use such an absurd method to trick girls last time? We’re a couple in another world? Stop talking! It’s disgusting!”

Happy said nothing for a moment. He looked up and cast her a glance before he said, “Then, a person called Blood Robes entered my life and became a friend of mine with the identity of someone from your hometown.”

When he said those words, Xu Yao’s expression turned pale, and she froze. “How did you know?”

Xu Yao’s voice quivered.

Happy did not answer her. He just continued telling her the next part of the story.

Ten minutes passed.

Xu Yao, who originally did not believe any of this, could not help but have her beliefs shaken, because while many of the things Happy said sounded unbelievable, he can always mention a lot of truths that many of the people in the university did not know, along with some of her secrets.

“Do you know why I’ve always hated you and never showed any good will to you for a period of time?”

Xu Yao said nothing.

“Because I’ve always misunderstood your relationship with Blood Robes and thought that you betrayed me. It lasted until I returned to that world.”

Happy told her everything, and he did not even care whether Xu Yao could accept what he said or not.

Xu Yao listened to what he said in a dumbfounded manner, and her mind was in a mess.

‘Happy is my boyfriend in another world? He also knows about my relationship with Blood Robes as people who came from the same town, as well as the things I can’t eat, along with many of my secrets.’

Many of the things he said sounded like a fantasy, but yet made so much sense as well.

“Regardless of whether you believe it or not, if it were not for my appearance, right now, you would have become friends with Chen Kaixin, and he was supposed to have become strangers with Xu Xin, but now, I’ve fallen in love with Xu Xin, and you are still waiting for me in the other world in the ward.”

This was the first time he told his secret to someone else, and Happy felt as if he was released from a burden, but he also felt deeply resigned.

Xu Yao just listened to everything on the couch in dumbfounded silence.

“You know that Blood Robes is from my hometown?”

“I know. I also know that you have been liaising with Blood Robes, so I couldn’t hold myself back from investigating your background. It’s only then that I learned how hard things are for you. You have a mother who is very ill, and before you played World of Martial Arts, you took up two jobs. That’s why I contacted Thunderous Battle to let you become a manager so that we can continue observing you.

“You didn’t disappoint me. In the end, you chose to refuse working together with Blood Robes.”

The duo descended into silence again.

Xu Yao seemed to be trying hard to digest many parts of Happy’s story.

After a long time, she asked, “Then, who are you right now?”

“Happy, your boss. Not the person who likes you.”

“What about him?”

When Xu Yao mentioned him, she sounded as if she was talking about an outsider.

Happy was willing to bet that Chen Kaixin will definitely be displeased if he heard this in Happy’s mind.

“He’s currently throwing a tantrum. After all, he did not have a transition period, so he only has a superficial knowledge about training, and he only knows the theory behind it. There are many parts where he’s not used to it.”

“Can you let me talk to him?” Xu Yao braced her courage and asked, “If he’s really stuck at that stage, he should be pretty scared of me. If you let him come out, I will believe you.”

“You heard that?” Happy asked.

But the person in his mind did not answer.

He frowned a little, and Happy felt a faint sense of unease. He sucked in a deep breath and told Xu Yao, “Forget it. He has never used his own identity to face any of you as of now. Give him some time.”

Xu Yao said hesitantly, “Then… if what you said is true, will you be unable to return to this world in the future?”

Happy sucked in a deep breath.

Even though he did not want to admit to this, in the end, this was not a question he can run away from. “No, before I am certain he can protect everything over here, I will still come back. Right now, he’s not strong enough to bear all this.”

“Then, what you said is all true?” Xu Yao’s expression changed and said, “Over the past few days, the Three Lonely Wolves have been acting strangely, because you will never train in the clan prisons. The prisoners might be useful to the others, but it’s completely useless to you.”

Xu Yao just smiled wanly and did not answer.

“Then what about Xin’er?”

“Don’t ask me that…” Happy’s grave voice caused Xu Yao to give him a pitying expression.

“I hope that you can keep what I told you today as a secret. Also, please don’t move away, because I hope that you can help me,” Happy said.

Xu Yao immediately understood what he meant.

Happy wanted her to continue staying in the middle between the duo and continue maintaining this situation.

“I… I’ll try my best.” Xu Yao felt incredibly troubled as well.

Even though she felt that all of this was incredibly absurd, as if she was dreaming, all that Happy said was on point, and she had a vague feeling that what he said was supposed to happen, forcing her to believe him.

“But I won’t like that Chen Kaixin. Xin’er is my best friend, I won’t make her sad.”

Xu Yao did not know why, but she added this sentence. Once she finished speaking, she looked at Happy in great anxiety and worry.

Happy smiled wanly again.

He originally thought that if he explained things, he could create a chance for Chen Kaixin so that Xu Yao can consider him. He did not expect that the reverse would happen.

He just told Chen Kaixin to work hard on his own before they returned to their own rooms.

When he closed the door, Happy called out to Chen Kaixin a few times, but he did not expect that he still would not get any reply from his other self. He frowned and shook his head. ‘I’ve already done what I need to do. Just work hard on your own. Now, send me back.’

Once he finished speaking, he laid on the bed again.

But after a while, Happy did not sense the suction force that he expected.

‘Hey, you can’t do this, man. If you don’t want me to leave, just speak up. You’re not a woman, you know? You won’t speak, and you refuse to send me away. Just what the heck is wrong with you? I don’t recall ever being as fussy as you are.’

He mocked Chen Kaixin a few times, and Happy finally noticed that the situation was not quite right.

Since the moment he returned today, he never heard the other Chen Kaixin say anything.

Chen Kaixin had also not moved for at least three hours in the game, and he did not do anything.

Also, since both communicated through their minds, the principle of them needing to communicate with each other through talking should not exist. They will be able to sense what the other party was thinking of very clearly. This was just like how Happy can quickly read through what the other experienced during the first time he was dragged over at midnight.

But today…

It was only at that moment that Happy remembered that he never sensed the other Chen Kaixin’s thoughts over the past few hours.

It was as if he had suddenly vanished from existence.

When he thought of this, Happy suddenly felt a chill grow from the bottom of his heart. He thought, ‘Is Chen Kaixin being suppressed by my mind?

‘That shouldn’t be the case. I’m only unable to let go of Xu Xin and my friends over here.

‘Could it be…?’

“Doesn’t make sense.” Happy thought about this for a long time, and his expression slowly turned pale. “Chen Kaixin, oh Chen Kaixin, don’t toy with me, please. If I don’t go back, Xu Yao is going to be worried to death! Do you intend to let her take care of me in the ward forever?”

When he thought of Xu Yao, Happy could not help but have the image of the ward appear in his mind.

In the next second, a powerful suction force suddenly appeared!
