Chapter 413

413 Someone is high on vinegar

Just when Yi Chen thought Zi Han wouldn’t come out, the bathroom door opened with a click and he straightened his back. He was sitting on the edge of the bed with his feet resting on the fluffy carpet. The fabric of the carpet rubbed against his toes giving a sense of ease.

He could hear Zi Han mumbling something in the background while looking for something anxiously.

“Han Han,” he called out softly but the little Nimsel that was napping in the full view of the camera turned over dissatisfied and opened its eyes with a soft wee sound.

The little fluff ball excitedly pressed its face on the floating screen. It began to make excited wee wee sounds only to fall over through the holographic screen. Despite having fallen flat on its face that didn’t dampen its enthusiasm. It got up and began to jump up and down again.

Yi Chen raised Mr. Twiggles for the little Nimsel to see and the little thing began to jump excitedly. Zi Han walked over to the screen absentmindedly as he flicked a lighter several times trying to light a cigarette which was what he had been looking for a while ago opening drawers frantically.

“What are you doing? Now he won’t sleep asking for Mr. Twiggles,” he said coming into the view of the camera.

Yi Chen’s hands froze looking at the cigarette dangling on Zi Han’s lips. He couldn’t help but reprimand him. “What are you doing? Haven’t we discussed this before and you promised you would quit,” he said and Zi Han paused his fingers before placing his hand on his hip while pointing at him.

“Do you blame me after what you said?” said Zi Han in an accusatory tone like Yi Chen was the cause for his smoking habits.

“What? So you don’t want to elope with me?” blurted out Yi Chen with his jaw clenched.

.....

“I don’t... I mean I do but I have to speak to my family first. I will give you an answer when I see you,” replied Zi Han before flicking the lighter again but no matter how hard he tried the flame wasn’t lighting up.

“Damn it. Sometimes I think my grandfather gave me this lighter just so that I can quit smoking. It’s so hard to light it. Look at my finger,” complained Zi Han showing his throbbing thumb.

Yi Chen was feeling a little downcast but when he saw that look of grievance on Zi Han’s face his sullen mood couldn’t help but vanish.

“Then do you want me to kiss it? I heard kissing it will make your wound heal faster,” said Yi Chen and Zi Han’s eyes instantly turned watery like he was about to cry. He was obviously a big man with bloody hands but he couldn’t help but act cute with his lover. Oh, how he missed being pampered by this man.

“How can you kiss it when I am already far away from capital star?” said Zi Han and Yi Chen leaned closer while curling his finger beckoning him over.

Zi Han subconsciously licked his lips as he moved closer like he was bewitched by this handsome man’s charming appearance.

“The virtual net dummy,” whispered Yi Chen before he leaned back while chuckling.

Zi Han remembered now that there was such a thing. He nodded his head before saying, “Just leave Mr. Twiggles right there. At least you can appease this ancestor.”

The ancestor they were talking about was still making wee sounds as though having a conversation with the plushy shark.

Yi Chen’s brow arched while asking, “What do you think they are talking about?”

Zi Han shrugged his shoulders while putting a t-shirt on. “I don’t know. Probably complaining about everyone in this warship. My grandfather dresses him up in cute outfits and shares them with his friend circle and my mother is guilty of grooming and feeding him constantly. If I were him I would complain too.” Yi Chen acquiesced to that.

“I forwarded our virtual net address. Meet me there,” said Yi Chen as Zi Han headed for the door. The simulator Lynn Feng modified wasn’t in his cabin.

“Mm see you there and keep that call active. My little Nim Nim isn’t done talking,” said Zi Han before walking back to pet the little fluff ball’s head and kiss its furry cheek.

“Weeee,” was the sound the little cutie made after that kiss leaving Yi Chen’s lips twitching subconsciously. Even the little guy got better treatment than he did over the years.

Yi Chen stared at the little nimsel as a sour feeling rose in his chest. The little Nimsel could smell the strong smell of vinegar coming from its father and couldn’t help but stick its tongue out.

Yi Chen, “???”

The amount of disrespect was uncalled for.

He sighed before getting off the bed and entering the virtual capsule to enter the virtual net.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

In a matter of seconds, his consciousness was drawn to the virtual net which was bustling despite how late it was.

The last time he was on the virtual net he was harassed by that annoying girl that he didn’t dare login again. He could only blame his father for telling her his virtual alias.

He was standing right where he logged off that is the auction house. He had been looking for a gift for Zi Han and the virtual auction house was the kind of place beautiful and unique things could be found. They would then be delivered right at his door in the real world.

Yi Chen turned to the information display and pressed the teleportation button that would send him straight to his virtual property.

Who would have thought when he got there he would find that girl squatting at his doorstep with no self-image at all?

Yi Chen ignored her. He walked right past her treating her like air. She had been poking the ground with a dejected appearance when she heard the sound of footsteps.

She raised her head and when she saw that figure walking past her eyes brightened as she got up. “Chen-ge,” she called out and grabbed his arm without warning.

Zi Han who had just arrived at the virtual property was unfortunately met with this scene. His chest tightened like a stone was weighing heavy on his chest as an uncontrollable sour feeling rose up his throat.

‘What the fuck,’ swore Zi Han internally his chest rising and falling as a very nasty beast threatened to show its face. Was it illegal to beat someone in the virtual space? Just asking for a friend.
