IRL C13 Everybody Knows
By the time the train reached his destination, Shangguan Yu had fallen asleep. Thankfully, his stop was the last one on the line and the service personal went through the train, making sure to shake everybody awake who had missed getting up in time to remind them that they were already there. Shangguan Yu woke …
IRL C12 A Short Break
The three of them agreed to meet at a teahouse at the wayside to continue with their mission. Then, Liangqiu Min departed while Shangguan Yu and Ao Jing remained. "Do you want to go over right now?" Ao Jing turned to look at his husband, waiting for his input. Shangguan Yu shook his head. While …

IRL C7 A Greedy Pig

IRL C6 Welcome to Lu Kou Town
Ao Jing glanced at his husband and gave a smile. "What? Aren’t you going to introduce me?" Shangguan Yu gave him an annoyed look. The NPCs in this game had quite the strong learning ability to ensure that the players would be able to enjoy the game as much as possible and feel like this …
IRL C5 A Not-So-Easy Task
In the end, Ao Jing didn’t go into the men’s outfitter. While he did feel like it would be nice to have some new clothes for their first date in real life, it was still some days until then. He had no reason to rush anything. It would be best to take his time to …
