The Beautiful Time With You

It was [Expert of the Monkeys] who first popped up in the group: In the season of the refreshing winds, the boundless Autumn moon hangs. ¹ On this fine night, is there anyone interested in causing a slaughter in Miramar ² ?

[Juice]: You fool. It’s Spring now, so how can there be an Autumn moon? Those without common sense sure are scary. Watch and learn—

[Juice]: On this Spring night, the gentle and tranquil moonlight reflects the depths of my heart. So, is there anyone who might be interested in accompanying this youth to wander the world of Miramar?

Three minutes later.

[Expert of the Monkeys]:  Hm? Why is no one replying to us?

[Expert of the Monkeys]: @[Yao Loves Ice Cream]

[Expert of the Monkeys]: @[111111]

Another three minutes later.

[Juice]: Hah, no one wants to answer you. Come, let your grandfather show you how it’s done.

[Juice]: @[Yao Loves Ice Cream]

[Juice]: @[111111]

Yet another three minutes later.

[Tide]:  Not coming. Watching a movie with my girlfriend.

[Juice]: Screw you. It’s the responsibility of every single individual to protect the single dogs. Please mind your words.

[Expert of the Monkeys]:  Juice, did anyone reply? Why don’t I see anything at all?

[Juice]:  Ah, you’re right. No one said anything. My mistake.

After which, [Juice] @’d [111111]:  Boss, Little Lailai is summoning you to play. Wuwuwu~

[Expert of the Monkeys]: @[Yao Loves Ice Cream] Sis Yao, the new desert map is a lot of fun. Play with us!

[Juice]: @[111111] Boss, are you going to abandon your Little Lailai? Wuwuwu~

[Expert of the Monkeys]: @ [Yao Loves Ice Cream]   Beep beep beep.

[Juice]: This is weird. They usually show up as soon as we @ them, so why not tonight? We’ve been @ing them for over two hours now, but not only is our boss not around, even Sis Yao has vanished too.

Seeing that the two of them still hadn’t appeared after so much time had passed, [Expert of the Monkeys] began to theorize: [Is it possible that boss and Sis Yao are secretly meeting each other behind our backs?]

[Juice]: It’s possible! Say, amidst the silence of the deep night, could they possibly be doing something together? Wah, will our boss lose his long-preserved chastity just like that?

[Expert of the Monkeys]: Scram, don’t you dare joke about my Sis Yao like that!

[Juice]: So what if I make jokes about her? What are you going to do to me?

“…”

The both of them jabbed at one another for a while before [Juice] eventually said: [It’s already one in the morning now. It looks like our boss and Sis Yao won’t be showing up after all. So, Expert, on this Spring night, the gentle and tranquil moonlight reflects the depths of my heart. Are you willing to accompany this youth in wandering the world of Miramar?]

[Expert of the Monkeys]: I’m willing! I’m willing! I’m willing to blast your dog head with this 98K—

…

[Juice] and [Expert of the Monkeys] fought hard in the game for the entire night. They didn’t head off to sleep until it was nine in the morning.

On the other hand, Shi Yao and Lin Jiage, who hadn’t really slept well the previous night, woke up.

Lin Jiage roughly swept through the group chat before nonchalantly tossing his phone aside to enter the bathroom. After washing up, just as he was wiping his face, the tip of his finger accidentally touched his lips, and his entire body froze for a moment. A tinge of redness began creeping up his face once again.
