　　The one who came to our school this afternoon for the compet.i.tion, his figure is pretty good.
　　There's a shy little boy who private messaged me, saying that he didn't dare to send this 
　　himself, and wants me to help him ask.
　　Anyone knows? Those who know don't keep it to yourself.

　　Heheh.

　　——————————————————————————-

XuXian never expected that when that person said he wanted to bring him to his dormitory, they would actually need to take public transport, the few schools in the college town were all close together, exactly which school was he from?
When that person sat down he was quiet, XuXian wanted to speak a few times, but he kept his words back, luckily that person seemed to decide that XuXian was unable to escape once on the bus and released his wrist, XuXian then realised that the person was really very strong, his wrist was left with a few obvious red marks.
XuXian had nothing to do, he could only looked down and study those fingerprints.
　　
“Sorry.” That person said suddenly.
“What?”
“I seem to have scratched you.”
“Oh, you mean this, it's fine… But I really couldn't tell, you're actually so strong?”
The person gave an irrelevant answer, “LingYang and I grew up together, we've already known each other for 16 years.”
XuXian never thought that the other would start talking about this himself, and that they actually knew each other for so long, he was very surprised, he thought YeLang and him knowing each other from elementary school was already considered very long.
“But LingYang is at most 20 years of age, you seem to be around his age as well… You still can remember the things from so long ago?”
He shook his head, “We grew up in the same compound, we were in the same nursery, the same kindergarten, the same elementary school… We heard all these from our parents and elders while they were chatting, having heard them often they actually really became part of our memories.”
　　
“I grew up in a military family, my upbringing was very strict, when other children were playing, I had to learn many things instead, I didn't have a single friend, so I was very anti-social from young.”
XuXian stared at this person who was lost in his memories, how come there was no sign of this person ever being anti-social.
“You can't tell right,” That person seemed to have guessed what XuXian was thinking about, he turned around and smiled at him. “This is all because of LingYang. My earliest memory of him was he coming to my house as a kid, creating trouble each time I was practising writing and memorising books, every time making me very angry, our relationship was always very bad, all the way until elementary school when we were 7 years old.”
XuXian remembered what LingYang said when he left. “YangYang said that when you were 7 he pushed you into the river.”
“That's right.” He nodded, “That's true, when I came home from school I would walk by the river, LingYang suddenly rushed at me from the back, pushing me into the river, luckily the water wasn't deep, the weather wasn't cold, but I was completely drenched and looked pathetic.”
XuXian could imagine the image then, he wanted to laugh but did not dare to, he could only hold back his laughter.
　　
“By the time I climbed out of the river, he had already ran away, I could only beat up LingYang's good friend who was still standing there, of course the other guy also retaliated. Our houses happened to be next to each other, when we got back both of us were very pitiful-looking, wet and with injuries, and we were punished to stand outside in our own backyards.
“Later on LingYang came by, don't know where he got some bricks from, stepping on them he climbed up the wall of the courtyard in my house, while lying there he mocked me,” He looked down, smiling helplessly, his face gentle, his eyes curving into a crescent. “You don't know, the sight he presented then, it was completely asking for a beating.”
XuXian was a little spellbound by the other person's image, although he did not see it himself, but he could definitely guess what kind of expression LingYang had then.
　　
“After that incident we became good friends, LingYang was the first friend I ever made, and also the closest one, his wall climbing habit has never changed even till now, every time when I see him, all I want to do is to beat him up.”
“However, it's also thanks to him, my personality became more cheerful, becoming like what you see now.” He again smiled at XuXian, XuXian discovered that when the other guy smiled he was really very good looking, it would be a waste if he was anti-social.
　　
XuXian coughed, and suddenly realised that he seemed to have forgotten himself, covering his mouth with a fist. “If your relationship is actually so good, why is YangYang still hiding from you? Did he do something to you that he is sorry about?”
The smile on the other guy's face disappeared, replying only after a pause. “He didn't do anything that he has to be sorry about, I was the one who did something to him that I have to be sorry about.”
XuXian's jaw dropped, he always thought LingYang had offended someone and that was why he always had to escape and run away, who would have thought that it was the complete opposite of his imagination.
　　
“What relationship do you share with LingYang?” He asked.
“We… We're online friends,” XuXian still remembered what LingYang asked of him, he did not mention that they were roommates.
“Online friends from the BBS you mentioned just now?”
“That's right.”
“Oh it's like this,” That person's face displayed some disappointment.
“That,” XuXian could not hold it back. “The question you asked LuoMing #7 just now, about YangYang's hand…”
“You know about it?” His tone became very agitated, giving XuXian a fright.
“I heard YangYang mention it once, he said he fell down while iceskating, accidentally breaking his fingers.”
“That's what he told you?”
XuXian nodded, “Yes.”
That person fell into silence again.
　　
“Why, is there something wrong?” From that person's expression XuXian could tell that he did not seem to fully believe it.
The other guy thought about it then said, “You know it as well, anything LingYang says, 70% of it is true, 30% of it is fake, I cannot tell exactly what's real and what's false… Have you seen LingYang ice skate before?” He asked suddenly.
XuXian shook his head.
“LingYang's sports ability cannot be described as very good, but cannot be said as very bad as well, he's someone who only does what he's interested in, when he's not interested in that sport he will not be good at it, but when interested in something, he will devote himself to it, even putting much more effort into it than anyone else.”
“Since young, he has only been interested in 2 sports, 1 is swimming, the other is iceskating. He said swimming can train his lungs, while iceskating can train his balance, both of these sports were very advantageous to him.”
He recalled, “LingYang skates very well, although you cannot compare him to a professional, but to outsiders, he could still be considered an amateur athlete.”
“Even professional athletes can be injured when falling, also, when the skills are higher the injuries tend to be more serious,” XuXian reminded him softly.
“You're right, I'm not discounting this possibility,” He patted XuXian. “Let's get off the bus, we've reached.”
　　
When XuXian disembarked he was shocked by his surroundings.
“This is your school?”
“That's right.”
“You're a student here?”
“Why?”
XuXian considered him, “Can't tell by looking at you…”
“How should I look like then?”
XuXian also could not describe it, he gestured, “Shouldn't you be more…”
The other guy was amused, “You're prejudiced.”
　　
XuXian felt a little emotional standing in front of the QianTang Military School sign, “I can go in?”
“You can go in if I'm the one bringing you in.”
“That's great, I've been wanting to go in to take a look.”
“I'll bring you around when you're done teaching me.”
“Really? Why are you walking so slowly.”
“…”
　　
It was the first time XuXian entered the military school, he was curious about everything, looking everywhere, his head twisting like an African mongoose.
There were many students in the school, most of them were wearing training gear or camouflage, people wearing athletic wear like the person next to him were very few.
From the entrance to the dormitory, XuXian realised that this person either had a huge social circle or high status, most students would take the initiative to greet him, and he would only just nod back.
XuXian also met someone who seemed to be the dormitory manager, when he saw the both of them, he did not even ask any routine questions.
Entering the building, many students seeing an outsider there were also very surprised, but no one asked anything, this made XuXian very puzzled.
　　
Upon reaching the other guy's room there was only one person inside, he was about to go out, seeing XuXian's arrival he was a little shocked, but also left after a greeting, and so there were only the two of them in the room.
XuXian saw that there was also computers in the military school's dormitory and felt that it was strange, although there was only one, but it looked similar to the other objects in its surroundings.
“Why does the military school's dormitories come with computers too?”
“They are all provided by the school, it's now the digital war, why would we not be allowed to use the computer? We also have a computer room, most people would go there to get online.”
“Wouldn't that be similar to the LAN shops that students go to?”
“That's different, you guys need to pay cash when you go to those shops, we're using military expenditure here.”
XuXian was speechless, “Isn't this too corrupt, doesn't that mean you guys are luckier than other ordinary schools?”
He thought about it, “But we're not allowed to use our phones when in school, only outside of the school.”
“Ah, so it's difficult to get in contact with people?”
“We have landlines,” He pointed at the phone installed on the wall. “Give me your phone, I'll save my number in it.”
　　
Getting XuXian as a teacher was the correct decision, he was a very patient person, after downloading the software he explained all the steps one by one.
“The school's intranet BBS registry is all under a real-name system, the ID has to be in English, the nickname you can change it anytime you like.”
“What's your ID? Right, after so long I still haven't asked your name.”
“My ID is Hana, oh, YangYang calls me Flower, if you want you can too…”
“Flower,” He repeated it. “You're called Hana, then I'll call myself Haku, isn't this ID very compatible with yours?”
“What?”
“BaiLong, my name is BaiLong.”

Tonight, Pa.s.sionate Sword's raiding party took very long to set up, and it still was not full, everyone was a little frustrated.
MT's healer Clinging Scent having requested for leave was one of the reason, but was made people surprised was FlowerHouse with a nearly 100% attendance record still did not appear after half an hour on the agreed upon meeting time.
The one in charge of forming the party, Mourning Mo, could not bear it anymore and sent a private message to FlowerHouse's closest friend Night Wolf.

[Whisper] MourningMo: Strange, it's already so late, why is Flower still not online? He's
                                              usually very punctual.

Having been reminded by Mourning Mo like this, YeLang also found it strange.

[Whisper] NightWolf: Hold on I'll give him a call.

After awhile, YeLang returned.

[Whisper] NightWolf: FlowerHouse is not joining us today.
[Whisper] MourningMo: What? Why?
[Whisper] NightWolf: I don't know, he hesitated each time I asked him something, anyway
                                        he's not at home, he's also not sure when he'll be back.
[Whisper] MourningMo: So what about today's raid?
[Whisper] NightWolf: Aren't there any replacement clerics?
[Whisper] MourningMo: At first that was one, but he has already joined the team as LiuXiang's
                                             replacement.
[Whisper] NightWolf: Why do I usually feel that the guild is full of clerics, but when I actually
                                        need one there's none?
[Whisper] MourningMo: Maybe because a certain trio is usually everywhere?
[Whisper] NightWolf: … You're right, I was the one who forgot to consider this point.
　　
[Whisper] NightWolf: Which other clerics in the guild are online now?
[Whisper] MourningMo: There's only 2 with max level, one is your wife, the other is your
                                              wife's disciple.
[Whisper] NightWolf: …
[Whisper] MourningMo: You want to ask if Bell's hand is any better?
[Whisper] NightWolf: I'll ask.

YeLang thought about it, he sent a private message to Little Buckle first.

[Whisper] NightWolf: Have you done a party dungeon before?
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: Yes, why?
[Whisper] NightWolf: FlowerHouse is unable to partic.i.p.ate today, we need one healer.
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: ( ⊙ o ⊙)! Why are you not asking Master?
[Whisper] NightWolf: I brought him once, he cannot handle it.
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: !!!!!
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: Master's Husband, you're joking right!
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: Master is very impressive!!
[Whisper] NightWolf: Are you comparing him to yourself?
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: Faint….
　　
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: I've done a 25 men raid before, but I wasn't playing a
                                                                      cleric then.
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: Also I have something on tonight, I won't be able to
                                                                       raid with you guys.
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: You should let Master try again, you'll never know if
                                                                       you don't let him try right? Master's Husband, you must
                                                                       believe in your wife!!!
[Whisper] NightWolf: … Fine.

YeLang poked Bell.

[Whisper] NightWolf: The dungeon 24=1missing one healer, you want to come?
[Whisper] Bell: !!! Husband you finally remembered me! I still thought you were going to
                             ignore me forever!
[Whisper] NightWolf: If you create trouble again like the previous time, I'll fulfil your wish.
[Whisper] Bell: I swear I'll never do it again! Let me follow you ok?

YeLang considered it, today's raid happened to be the bosses that Bell had fought previously, now that his own gear could suppress them, there would not be a lot of pressure on the healer.
Also, Clinging Scent was not around, the position of the MT's healer was empty, if Bell followed someone else there would also be trouble, might as well just follow him, he would also be able to supervise. 

[Whisper] NightWolf: Then you have to promise to do it properly.
[Whisper] Bell: I promise! Please give me a chance to perform, I will let you see me in a
                            different light!!

Bell actually managed to do what he said he would, he did not give YeLang any trouble along the way, healing was also done accordingly, not missing a step, the party quickly reached the second boss, which was Grandpa Calabash.

[Whisper] Bell: There's no need to fight the calabash dolls here, I'll kite the grandpa out.
[Whisper] NightWolf: You'll kite the boss out? How?
[Whisper] Bell: Druidic clerics have a skill that can do that… But it's only for this boss.
[Whisper] NightWolf: How did you know about it?
[Whisper] Bell: There are guides online, and also a video, it explained it in detail.
[Whisper] NightWolf: Are you sure you can do it?
[Whisper] Bell: Husband trust me, when have I ever disappointed you?
[Whisper] NightWolf: You've never disappointed me, you've already made me lose all hope
                                        since long ago.
[Whisper] Bell: Husband（/TДT)/
　　
[Party] NightWolf: Bell says she studied the guide, she can kite the boss out, let's try it out,
                                   if it's successful we can save a lot of time in the future.
[Party] NightWolf: If it's not successful I'll cover the repair fees, everyone please bear with it.
[Party] DevotedCouple: With old Wolf's words, what are we still afraid of, let's go ahead.
[Party] LittleRights: That's right, that's right, good luck Sister-in-law!
[Party] MourningMo: I've seen that video before too, it looks very difficult, Bell just try your
                                        best, don't force yourself.
[Party] CuteEgg: I believe in Bell, good luck go go!
　　
[Whisper] Bell: Husband you're so good to me T^T
[Whisper] NightWolf: If it fails I'll add the repair fees to your debt.
[Whisper] Bell: Money is not an issue… But aren't you afraid I'll throw your face if I fail?
[Whisper] NightWolf: Ever since I bound my face to yours, I've already abandoned such
                                        useless things.
[Whisper] Bell: I will work hard and retrieve it back for you T^T

Bell formed a protective shield.

[Whisper] Bell: The very cool very skilled top professional player Bell, let's go!
