　　After [Lone Wind Wan Yi] and Sui Yuan's chat, [Lone Wind Wan Yi] felt that his world views had completely toppled over. As a 21st century youth, he naturally knew about h.o.m.os.e.xual love and held no prejudice against it. However, this did not mean that he was familiar with the concept nor did it mean he understood it. To the current him, h.o.m.os.e.xual love was just an interesting forum post and what the fujos.h.i.+s in his guild liked to talk about. When he felt inclined, he'd skim through it as if reading an interesting story. When he wasn't interested in it, it had nothing to do with himself.

　　[Lone Wind Wan Yi] had never thought that so many gay people would unexpectedly pop up beside him. Each one of them was his good brother—one of them was even someone he felt a faint, indescribable feeling of wors.h.i.+p for.

　　[Lone Wind Wan Yi] felt like he was floating….

　　Thus, when he heard [Wind-Like High Official] complain about people randomly pairing him and [Hua Xinlei] up as a CP, against [Wind-Like High Official]'s expectations, [Lone Wind Wan Yi] didn't agree with him in ridiculing this matter. Instead—

　　【Lone Wind Wan Yi】：Are you and Hua Xinlei really not involved?

　　【Wind-Like High Official】：………………

　　——[Wind-Like High Official] and his friend were simple stupefied!

　　【Wind-Like High Official】：Wait a second, what do you mean?! You think that Hua Xinlei and I are actually in an inexplicable love/hate relations.h.i.+p?!

　　After realizing that he had absentmindedly said something wrong, [Lone Wind Wan Yi] felt a bit apologetic and awkward.

　　【Lone Wind Wan Yi】：No, that's not what I meant. Sorry, I was recently made confused.

　　【Lone Wind Wan Yi】：I had just suddenly discovered that the fujos.h.i.+s' fantasies don't all seem to be baseless, that some of them are actually founded on truth. So I couldn't help but be a bit….

　　【Wind-Like High Official】：…Founded on truth? For example?

　　【Lone Wind Wan Yi】：…For example, that thing between you, King of h.e.l.l, and Hua Xinlei?

　　Obviously, [Wind-Like High Official] had not expected [Lone Wind Wan Yi] to know about his dark history of having been cheated on by that sc.u.m gong. Only a long time later did his attention return.

　　【Wind-Like High Official】：Who told you this?

　　【Lone Wind Wan Yi】：Sorry, I didn't pry too much into your personal affairs. I just didn't want to see you and King of h.e.l.l be on bad terms because of Hua Xinlei. I wanted King of h.e.l.l to personally stop Hua Xinlei. Afterwards, King of h.e.l.l told me about what happened between you guys.

　　【Wind-Like High Official】：…I didn't expect him to tell you. What did he say?

　　Hearing [Wind-Like High Official] ask him this, [Lone Wind Wan Yi] muttered to himself for a while and then told him the truth. After all, [Disdaining the King of h.e.l.l] had not warned him not to tell other people. Furthermore, he wanted to confirm the truth by hearing the matter from the other party involved.

　　[Lone Wind Wan Yi] had a strong sense of justice. He knew that it was immoral for [Disdaining the King of h.e.l.l] to two-time. But at times, emotions would affect a person's judgement. Towards friends, the majority of people would always be more lenient. [Lone Wind Wan Yi] was naturally no exception. [Wind-Like High Official] was his friend, but so was [Disdaining the King of h.e.l.l], and compared to [Wind-Like High Official], [Disdaining the King of h.e.l.l] was more special to him.

　　Since he was young, [Lone Wind Wan Yi] had always been 'the other family's kid.' He was outstanding in every aspect: his family was well-off, he was handsome, he had outstanding grades, and he was multi-talented…even when playing a game, he easily attained great popularity as a 'great G.o.d'. It could be said that for all of his life, [Lone Wind Wan Yi] had very rarely ever tasted defeat—and then [Disdaining the King of h.e.l.l] appeared.

　　When he first saw [Disdaining the King of h.e.l.l]'s gameplay, [Lone Wind Wan Yi] could only think of the word 'stunning'. It was precise, gorgeous, and completely without flaw. It could even be said to have toppled over his understanding of how one should play the game. It was the first time that [Lone Wind Wan Yi] felt that he was inferior to another—he was no match for [Disdaining the King of h.e.l.l]. He was absolutely no match.

　　As [Lone Wind Wan Yi] was still a graduate student who had yet to leave his ivory tower, the first thought that came to mind when faced with this person who made such a great impact on him was to chase after him. He admired the other and wanted to become even stronger. He even did things he had sworn impossible to do in the past—shamelessly nagging the other, begging to get closer to the other man.

　　As the so-called saying went, 'the reluctant woman will eventually fall' (?) , [Lone Wind Wan Yi] eventually got his wish fulfilled. Although the other wasn't too willing to acknowledge him, he had finally given a tacit approval of his existence.

　　After becoming friends, [Lone Wind Wan Yi] naturally came to understand other things about [Disdaining the King of h.e.l.l] aside from his skills. For example, his personality and conduct. It had to be said that [Lone Wind Wan Yi] really admired [Disdaining the King of h.e.l.l]. He liked his unconstrained magnanimity, the confident and haughty way in which he never took anything to heart. He also thought that the occasional display of endearing silliness was quite fascinating in another way. The only stain on him was the matter between him, [Wind-Like High Official] and [Hua Xinlei].

　　Although he felt rather apologetic towards [Wind-Like High Official], when faced with the stain between his friend and his idol, [Lone Wind Wan Yi] subconsciously wanted to find an excuse for his idol. For example, it was only to be expected that the trust between them would be influenced after having his requests for video calls and photos rejected so many times; or how [Disdaining the King of h.e.l.l] had immediately broke off things with [Wind-Like High Official] after getting together with [Hua Xinlei], so, technically, it wasn't considered two-timing; or how there were so many people on this planet, who wouldn't have any sort of flaw? Emotions, this kind of private matter…one needn't pay too much attention to it…. Furthermore, what [Lone Wind Wan Yi] hoped for was that this whole thing was nothing but a misunderstanding, and that [Disdaining the King of h.e.l.l] was still the unblemished and immaculate [Disdaining the King of h.e.l.l].

　　It was a pity that he was destined to be disappointed.

　　【Wind-Like High Official】：I didn't think that he would tell you the truth. The relations.h.i.+p between the two of you is really good.

　　【Lone Wind Wan Yi】：…It's real?

　　【Wind-Like High Official】：Yes.

　　[Lone Wind Wan Yi] felt that it was a great pity that his friend/idol inevitably could not be washed white. Only, after seeing [Wind-Like High Official]'s sigh of sorrow, this feeling of pity ineffably turned into happiness.

　　The self-aware [Lone Wind Wan Yi] had always thought that [Disdaining the King of h.e.l.l] really disliked him and was unwilling to interact much with him. Now, he suddenly discovered that the other's att.i.tude towards him was actually not all that terrible, and the world seemed bright once more.
