When they met in the dormitory lobby, the first thing Yue Ran told Jiang Xiao was, âSunken Moon knows about us being in the same university!â
Jiang Xiao predicted this. He grabbed the otherâs hand and walked out of the first floor. âBeing in the same university doesnât mean anything. If we are found out, we could just say itâs a coincidence.â
Still feeling uneasy, Yue Ran said, âDo you really think thereâs no flaw?â
There are too many loopholes in this matter, not to mention anything else, just the group of people in the blank space is a group of walking safety hazards. Yue Chen really wanted to find out, as long as she found out that they were in a relationship, she would understand everything.
There were actually too many holes to count. Apart from anything else, Blank and the other guildmates alone were a walking hazard. If Sunken Moon really put his heart into investigating, he just needed to ask about their relationship before he would see everything crystal clear.
Jiang Xiao cast a glance at Yue Ran and asked, âDo you want to hear the truth?â
Yue Ran immediately understood what the other meant and raged like a furious cat. âItâs all your fault! You had to merge our guilds!â
Jiang Xiao hurried to smooth the fur. âBecause youâre too likeable.â
Jiang Xiao leaned over and kissed the youth gently on the lips. âPlease donât be angry. Iâll do my all to keep your secret.â
Shameless, to use his looks as a tactic.
Noticing the youth was maintaining a straight face, but the anger in those eyes was gone, Jiang Xiaoâs heart suddenly softened into a total mess.
His little soul master is really easy to coax, many things are just a short-term temper tantrum, and it passes quickly. And even though Yue Ran didnât say he liked him, he could see that Yue Ran was caring more and more about him, and it was easy to be happy when he was with him, which made him want to swallow people up.
His little summoner was really easy to coax. He would get angry with the little things, but the tantrum would quickly end. Although he didnât verbally admit his feelings, Jiang Xiao could see that Yue Ran was paying more and more attention to himself. It was easier for the youth to be happy when they were together. Just a glance made him want to swallow the other whole.
He suppressed his animalistic desire and changed the topic with a very normal tone. âSo are your two friends and their boyfriends in the same university?â
âNo, but they are all in T City,â Yue Ran replied. âOne of them is also in this university city, while the other one is a bit further away. It would take an hour by subway.â
Now he thought about it. He actually became the only one of the three to attend the same university with his boyfriend.
Yue Ran couldnât help looking at Jiang Xiao, and met his gaze, pretending to look away calmly, silently feeling refreshed in his heart, and moved his body a little over there honestly.
Yue Ran subconsciously glanced at Jiang Xiao, which made their eyes meet. He pretended to be looking at something else by calmly moving his eyes, but a secret smile appeared on his face, and his more honest body closed the distance between them.
Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. He wasnât exactly sure what his little summoner was thinking, so he went on with the topic. âHow long have they been together?â
Yue Ran recalled, âSince the first year of high school for Xiao Yang, and second year of high school for Xiao Yu.â
Then he gave simple information about his two friends, as childhood friends, their friendship was deep as family.
Jiang Xiao responded with âI seeâ. Then as they chatted, they were soon out of the university.
Yueran and Xiaoyu met at a seafood restaurant with a good reputation near the university town. It took two subway stops from T University. Jiang Xiao studied here for two years and knew the surrounding area like the palm of his hand, so he took him here with ease. destination.
Yue Ran and others were meeting at a well-known seafood restaurant in the university town. It took two subway stops from T University. Jiang Xiao studied here for two years and knew the surroundings like the back of his hand, so arriving at their destination was like a walk in the park.
Xiao Yu and others just arrived. As they were about to go upstairs, they saw the duo enter through the restaurant door.
Once the two sides met, the two friends and their boyfriendsâ attention focused on Jiang Xiao almost at the same time, and a trace of surprise flashed through their eyes.
They had already seen Jiang Xiaoâs photo in the WeChat group, but it was taken secretly, and the distance was still relatively far away, so they could only see a handsome silhouette clearly. Taking a closer look at this moment, they found that the real person was much more handsome than the one in the photo, and had a strong aura. He had good genes at first glance, and he was worthy of being a school grass-level person. Even the two boyfriends felt that he was the public enemy of Alpha.

Jiang Xiao calmly held their gazes, waited for Yue Ran to finish the introduction and greeted them in a friendly way.
After a brief exchange of greetings, several people went upstairs. Xiao Yang is a typical face control. Although he has a partner, it does not prevent him from seeing beautiful men, so he pulls Yue Yue a few steps behind, and whispers to him excitedly: âFuck, you are so handsome, you can meet this kind of top quality, you Your eyesight is fine!â
After a simple greeting, they went upstairs. Xiao Yang as a typicalface-con. Although he had a partner, it didnât stop him from admiring a beautiful man. He pulled Yue Ran to the back as they broke away from the group, and chewed Yue Ranâs ear out, âHoly handsome. You have great judgement to find such an outrageous alpha.â
Yue Ranâs expression was calm. He wanted to reply âItâs nothingâ. Unfortunately, he still couldnât break through from his conscience, so he strived to answer with âIndeedâ with a pretence of indifference.
Jiang Xiao ate here before and, naturally, would be the one ordering for them. Understanding the youthâs taste, he nimbly selected their dishes.
He is a person who is really cold when he is cold. He can only be patient with people who care about him, such as Yue Ranâs important friends. So a few people soon discovered that he looked cold, but he was actually quite easy to get along with, so they became bolder and began to ask them gossip, wanting to know how they met.
He was someone who would be cold when he wanted to be. Heâd only treat the ones he paid notice to with extreme patience, such as Yue Ranâs important friends. So the four soon found that although he might appear lofty, he was very easy to get along with. As they became bolder, they started asking details about the duo, such as how they knew each other.
Yue Ran didnât conceal the truth. âHeâs my older cousinâs friend. We played games together during summer.â
Jiang Xiao added after, âI met him during summer vacation.â
The gears in othersâ heads immediately turned.
Met during summer vacation. Did that mean he had smelled Ran Ranâs pheromones or not?
It would be fine if that he had, it meant the other might not break up with Ran Ran when he couldnât handle the otherâs smell after the suppressant lost its efficacy.
Of course, Jiang Xiao knew what they were thinking, and could better understand how they wanted to protect Ran Ran.
He didnât go that much into detail. Once the server brought their meals to the table, he found a random topic to take attention away from the duo. Then he began to peel crabs for his darling, and very attentively and carefully as well.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Yang glanced at their own men almost at the same time and educated them, âFollow good examples all right?â
The two alphas were very aggrieved. They were only a step too slow.
They dared not talk back to their wives, and hurried to show their efforts by deshelling shrimp and getting the vegetables.
After Yue Ran ate the crab meat, he gave Jiang Xiao a peck, and then another peck a moment later.
Jiang Xiao noticed the twinkling in the youthâs eyes and whispered, âWhatâs wrong?â
It was hard for Yue Ran to express how he could finally be lovey-dovey in front of his two friends in this lifetime. He replied calmly, âNothing.â
This is the first time that Yueran and Xiaoyu are not in the same school. Now that they meet, they have a lot to talk about, new school, new classmates, new lifeâŚthey started chatting before they knew it.
This was the first time Yue Ran and his two friends were not sitting in the same classroom in the same school. So now when they have a meetup, there are countless topics to talk about. New university, new classmates, new lifeâŚthe more they chatted, the more into the conversation Yue Ran became.
Jiang Xiao noticed his little summoner was sipping the alcohol little by little bit and said, âLet me get some juice for you.â
Yue Ran nodded like a well-behaved child. âOkay.â
He actually didnât like alcohol, but Xiao Yu and Xiao Yang preferred cocktails, so he accompanied them in drinking. But because of how pleasant a time he was having, he managed to finish his glass today.
Jiang Xiao rubbed his head and called the waiter to order a glass of juice.
Xiao Yu captured their small interactions and could tell how Jiang Xiao really cared for Ran Ran, feeling relieved.
This meal didnât end until eight oâclock. The four didnât plan to return to their university. After they bid farewell, they left in pairs. It was self-evident where they were going.
Jiang Xiao couldnât resist teasing, âSince theyâre all going to stay in a hotel, why donât we as well?â
Yue Ran rejected, ââŚNo!â
Jiang Xiao smiled, and they returned to their school hand in hand.
Although he wanted to eat the youth up, he didnât want to appear too much like a beast. He had to wait at least until he could solve the pheromones issue.
At the end of September and the beginning of October, the night was the most comfortable time.
It was only 8:20 when the two arrived at the school, so they didnât go back immediately. Instead, they held hands and walked around the school until nine oâclock. They made an appointment to go back to play games, and then went upstairs.
When they arrived at their university, it was only twenty minutes past eight, so they didnât go back immediately. Instead, they took a walk around the school holding hands until night. Once they agreed to meet in the game tonight, Jiang Xiao watched Yue Ran go upstairs.
The first thing Yue Ran did was to shower and brush his teeth. When he came out, he felt a little dizzy, but he remembered the promise to get on the game, so he turned on his laptop and logged into the game.
Jiang Xiao also happened to come online and appeared beside him. The two entered a YY voice room and continued to fight Snow Shrieking Eagles in a party, because Yue Ran was determined to get his rebellious chicken back on the right path. They decided to feed it some more, he highly doubted that it would have its long feathers dyed next.
They fought two together before Jiang Xiao noticed the little summonerâs reaction speed was slowing down. He asked, âAre you sleepy?â
Yue Ran mumbled, âNo, a little dizzy.â
Jiang Xiao understood as soon as he heard it. âDo you know if the alcohol they ordered was strong?â
âIs there honey? Go drink some honey water.â
âLet me ask aroundâŚâ
Before he could finish, he saw a huge eagle standing quietly in front of them. It was the Eagle King that only respawned once a week and he was immediately excited. âWe need to get it!â
Jiang Xiao also knew this monster was difficult to encounter, so he didnât object. He was ready to urge the other guy to drink honey water after fighting.
Itâs a pity that the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. The Eagle Kingâs attack is high, and ordinary players usually need a team of five to win it. Although they are great gods, one of them has been scrapped due to the effect of alcohol, and it is very difficult to fight. Just after killing half of its blood, the opponentâs big move came over, and they immediately rushed to the street.
Unfortunately, he had beautiful expectations but was met with a very cruel reality. The Eagle Kingâs attack was high. Ordinary players generally needed a team of five to beat it. Although they were two great gods, they were down to one because the other was out of commission from being under the influence. This was a very difficult fight. They managed to chip half of its HP before the monster began to use its powerful ability. They immediately dropped dead on the ground.
Jiang Xiao clicked to revive on the spot. He thought this wasnât working, so he suggested, âStay on it. Iâll switch to my heavy blade account.â
With a heavy bladeâs high defence. He could lure the eagle while Yue Ran could attack from a distance at ease. They could try this out.
It took some time for Yue Ran to react. Once he finally understood what the otherâs plan was, he muttered âOkayâ and waited for his senior like a good child. Jiang Xiao quickly switched his account, controlled and rushed Smashing Vault of Heaven to the snowy mountain. At the same time, he typed in the guild chat for some helping hands. Then, when he came back, he found that the remaining great gods were here, so he told Blank and others that they were not needed.
Sunken Moon and Pure White Sun didnât go offline at all. When they saw the notification that the duo were online, they sneaked over and wanted to observe in secret.
Not only that, but they also called Inked Sun earlier for a small meeting, focusing on Tempestâs little lover. However, after a long discussion, it all came to not having evidence. So as the last resolve, Pure White Sun clenched his teeth to share who Wailing Wall was, which made Sunken Moon and Inked Sun very surprised. They suggested calling Dying Starâs older cousin over after they figure questions to trick the truth out of him, such as if Dying Star was playing a sockpuppet account.
As it happened, they noticed the local system notification.
Watching Tempest logging off and Dying Star entering the Eagle Kingâs attack range, the summoner was going to get himself killed. The three immediately rushed to help. Unfortunately, they were still a little too late. They watched Dying Star drop dead on the ground again, so they had to wait for him to revive on spot before telling him to open the party so they could join.
Due to the tight time, they had no time to enter the YY voice chat. Luckily, they were all expert players with decent reactions and awareness. They soon stood as a team and began to concentrate on fighting the raptor.
When Jiang Xiao returned, he saw âthey were about done, so he simply watched them. Once they defeated the bird of prey, he rejoined the party which allowed him to read through the party chatâmost of it was the three asking about Yue Ran, thinking there was something wrong with him.
[(Party) Sunken Moon: Whatâs wrong with Dying Star? Is he really the one playing?]
[(Party) Pure White Sun: Donât just stand there! Go collect the spirit beastâs soul or itâll disappear soon.]
[(Party) Inky I Love You: Hello~ Little Star?]
[(Party) >Smashing Vault of Heaven: He drank some alcohol at dinner today. Maybe the wine was too strong.]
After Jiang Xiao finished this sentence, he said in the voice chat, âDarling, pick up the beast soul and remember to refine it before it disappears.â
After the hype from discovering the Eagle King was dying down, Yue Ranâs brain began to grow numb. It took several seconds for him to utter a vague âOhâ back.
Jiang Xiao reminded, âDonât forget to feed the two souls we got earlier to your bird, otherwise itâll be gone tomorrow.â
Yue Ran was suddenly in a trance, when he heard âfeed the birdâ, he opened the refine window with his muscle memory, tossed the two souls along with the Eagle Kingâs soul to feed the bird. After clicking âRefineâ, he closed the window to see new messages in the party chat.
[(Party) Sunken Moon: Go sleep early if youâre drunk. Good night.]
[(Party) Pure White Sun: Good night.]
[(Party) Wailing Wall: Good night.]
[(Party) Inky I Love You: Good night Little Star~]
[(Party) >Smashing Vault of Heaven: Good night.]
Yue Ran blankly stared at the chat, it was as if his state of mind drifted to some unknown dimension. It took a long time for his eyes to focus, and his gaze landed on the last IDââ>Smashing Vault of Heavenâ.
As if this conditioned reflex was nearly raised into a habit, he slowly typed out a sentence.
[(Party) Dying Star: Sob, my head is so dizzy. Iâll head to bed. Good night Hubby >_<]
After he pressed enter, he went offline in a daze and closed his laptop. As soon as he climbed into the bed using all four of his limbs, he fell asleep within seconds.
In the game, there was a wall of the same message in the party chat.
[(Party) Sunken Moon: âŚ]
[(Party) Pure White Sun: âŚ]
[(Party) Wailing Wall: âŚ]
[(Party) Inky I Love You: âŚ]
Jiang Xiao placed his hand against his forehead and smiled softly.
Although he knew there were many flaws, he didnât expect it to be revealed this way.
It was over. He feared that his little summoner would jump off the cliff again when he got on tomorrow.
