Chapter 2777: Online Game Great God's 'Straight Male' Roommate 19

~6 min read 1,188 words

Comic Expo Day.

From the moment he woke up in the morning, Cheng Lang's feeling of being unsettled never ceased.

Jin Chen rarely got up early, and he carefully matched his scarf and accessories, preparing for an important appointment.

Cheng Lang also had to go see his idol; logically he should feel some excitement, but that excitement was forcibly suppressed, leaving only a sour bubbling.

It's really infuriating! Friend, brother, roommate, senior—added together… they still can't compare to an online game partner!

Cheng Lang never used to think of himself as someone who would quibble over friendship; he was generous with friends, expecting nothing in return.

But with Jin Chen, all standards have shifted.

The car drove into the comic expo venue's parking lot and turned off.

Jin Chen unfastened his seatbelt, suddenly turned his body closer, and looked at Cheng Lang up close.

"Senior," Jin Chen asked, "Aren't you supposed to meet your guild friends today? Why do you look unhappy."

Too close, Cheng Lang caught a whiff of his sandalwood scent, felt a bit uncomfortable, turned his head away, and mumbled, "I'm happy, why wouldn't I be."

Jin Chen stared at him for two seconds, let out a low laugh, and said, "Alright."

"Then let's go, senior. Don't keep people waiting."

The exhibition hall's heating was on full blast, the crowd buzzed, cosplayers' figures flitted about, splendid and fun, as if stepping into another dimension.

Jin Chen glanced at his phone; a message from Shadow Wave popped up, expressing full support for his surprise preparations today.

He took off his scarf, turned his head, looked at the somewhat absent-minded Cheng Lang beside him, and said cheerfully, "I'm going to get ready now; senior, you should hurry and meet your guild friends."

"Preparation," Cheng Lang frowned slightly, "preparing for what?"

Jin Chen's eyes curved as he said, "A surprise!"

"Prepared for the teammate, I hope… he'll like it."

Cheng Lang: "..."

Good, very good!

Xiao Chen has never prepared any surprise for him before!

He's been outdone again!

Jin Chen left; Cheng Lang stood where he was, took out his phone, and took a look.

Xun Chen: See you later^^

Yeah, he's also here today to see his idol, the Great God; it's something to be happy about, can't let it affect his mood.

Thinking that, Cheng Lang perked up and went to the agreed-upon spot in the guild chat.

Leisure Abode, as the First Guild, mainly had the top-ranked Great God Xun Chen from the Wealthy God List, who had lavishly booked an independent private room for team building.

A comfortable rest area, a buffet table, and a themed backdrop suitable for photo check-ins.

When Cheng Lang pushed the door and entered, there were seven or eight people gathered together chatting.

He was dressed simply today—a black slim-fit sweater under his coat—but tall and long-legged, with a handsome, sunny face, he still stood out in the crowd.

Two cute-looking girls' eyes lit up simultaneously, and they blurted out, "……He Liangyue!"

Being called by his game ID in reality was a first for Cheng Lang; he smiled, nodded, and greeted them.

"Hello, I'm Cheng Lang, game ID He Liangyue."

When he smiled, he had a peculiar affability that made people easily take a liking to him.

The girl in a Lolita dress beamed, "I'm Xiao Tianbing, Moon Warrior you're even more handsome than I imagined!"

"I'm Nuomi Tuan!" the girl in a JK uniform beside her also laughed and waved.

Malatang exclaimed, "Moon Warrior, your physique is too top-notch—this height and leg length, those broad shoulders and narrow waist, no wonder with the Great God…"

She had barely finished speaking when Nuomi Tuan swiftly covered her mouth with such force that Malatang almost fainted.

Nuomi Tuan: "……No wonder they cooperate so seamlessly with the Great God in the game! Indeed, handsome guys and experts always share something in common!"

Xiao Tianbing and Nuomi Tuan exchanged a knowing look, grabbed the still-struggling Malatang, quickly turned their backs to Cheng Lang and the others, and huddled together.

"Phew, Malatang, you big mouth!"

"Exactly, the Great God repeatedly urged to give the Moon Warrior a surprise!"

"I still think it's too dreamlike…… the Great God is actually pursuing the Moon Warrior, and he's even my real-life roommate—what a divine plotline."

"Online romance meeting in person+dropping the act+being close to the water tower? Ah, I'm dead!"

"Delicious, so delicious—I must definitely take a picture later!"

Their discussion was very quiet; Cheng Lang couldn't hear it clearly, just taking it as girls' whispered talk.

He walked toward the rest area; a composed man stood up, exuding an elite vibe, his composed demeanor matching the reliable yet slightly scheming guild leader image from the game perfectly.

"Long admired, I'm Jian Wuxiao."

"Guild leader, hello."

Ming Yue Jiang was a sunny, outgoing young man, very talkative, and soon pulled Cheng Lang into chat.

The atmosphere quickly became harmonious.

Cai Yangliu propped her chin, "Moon Warrior, I feel you're a bit absent-minded—are you waiting for our Great God?"

As soon as she said that, several in-the-know members exchanged meaningful smiles.

Cheng Lang rubbed his nose embarrassedly, didn't deny it, and said, "Yeah, I'm really looking forward to meeting the Great God—after all, he's my idol."

Xiao Tianbing, who was sitting by the private room Main Gate, sat up straight, patted Malatang and Nuomi Tuan, and said, "Here he comes, the Great God is here!"

Cheng Lang turned to look at the doorway.

The private room door was pushed open.

The first to peek in was a boy wearing an exaggerated bright green wig, a Pikachu-themed painful T-shirt and suspender pants, Grinning.

"He Liangyue!"

Cheng Lang's pupils shrank suddenly.

Cheng Lang was greatly shocked.

Is this the great god Xun Chen? The image of the lofty, aloof beauty he imagined…… the gap is really too big.

The great god offline is actually like this…… so lively and unrestrained!

Hehe, it's me! An Ying Lang Lang~ Surprised or delighted? Expected or unexpected?

Cheng Lang: "……"

An Ying Lang walked over quickly with a smile, "Moon Warrior, don't rush to be disappointed! Turn back, turn back! The main show is yet to come."

Cheng Lang hesitated slightly, turning his head to stare at the delicately shaped mousse cake on the plate in front of him.

The great god has already helped him so much, clearing rumors, inviting him to join the group, running dungeons together…… what more surprise could there be?

Before he could sort out his thoughts, a wisp of familiar scent drifted over.

Cheng Lang blinked slightly, then turned around.

The person wore a moon-purple robe embroidered with dark cloud-crane patterns, sleeves fluttering, as if carrying the immortal aura from the game.

Looking up, he plunged into those familiar peach-blossom eyes, so familiar they couldn't be more familiar.

Jin Chen stood behind him, slightly bending forward, tapping his shoulder with a folding fan, even more exquisite and noble than his in-game model, peerlessly handsome.

He looked at Cheng Lang's incredulous eyes, the smile in his depths deepening like spring water just thawing.

"Senior, we meet again."
