1077 HUANG WEN'S TROUBLE

HUANG WEN sat down in his seat. When he heard the conversation of his classmates before reaching the door of the classroom, mentioning the names 'Noctis' and 'YUN, he immediately thought of Luo Yan. And that... guy.

He was quite sure that the guy he saw in the game with Luo Yan was that YUN. It was also the same guy who visited school that day. Hearing his classmates asked if Luo Yan and that guy were Noctis and YUN, something must have happened to suddenly start this inquiry.

Many of their classmates had already suspected that Luo Yan must be Noctis ever since the other had that insane growth spurt. He knew that there were some who wanted to ask Luo Yan about it. But they always held back. Probably in consideration of the other.

But now, they're not holding back at all. Whatever happened must be quite exciting. And the fact that he hadn't yet heard Luo Yan's voice meant that the other must be feeling quite awkward to answer them.

He sighed and just walked in at that moment, making the others stopped their questioning.

Surprisingly enough, Huang Wen didn't feel the same pang he felt when he first saw Luo Yan and that guy together. In fact, he had not been thinking of Luo Yan altogether for quite a while now.

It's all because he was too busy thinking of a way to end his cold war with Ying Chen. It had been almost two months now, and the other was still giving him the cold shoulder. Although it had somehow improved now since the other was at least acknowledging his presence, it's still not the same as it was before.

It's like they suddenly became strangers. The years they had been friends went... poof, just like that. And the worse thing was, he had no idea why it even happened.

No matter how much he racked his brain, he couldn't find the reason why Ying Chen was acting this way. They never had a serious argument that could have led to this 'cold war'.

So why?

But he knew that no matter how much he questioned things, it wouldn't change the fact that Ying Chen was acting like this. So, the only thing he could do was to try to change it.

His first course of action was to invite the other to lunch. Which did not yield anything since winter vacation quickly came. He initially thought it would be fine, since they lived in the same residential area. But he didn't expect that Ying Chen wouldn't even meet him. Even going so far as to ask the maids to tell him that he was busy reviewing for the college entrance examination.

Huang Wen would have believed that if he hadn't been talking to Liang Sen before and knew that the other and Ying Chen were playing Arcadia just 30 minutes ago. How could it be believable that Ying Chen was suddenly busy reviewing the moment Huang Wen came to visit?

He visited the Ying family mansion for a few more days after that. But he was given the same excuse over and over again. At that point, it was quite obvious that Ying Chen didn't want to see him.

He could take a hint, so he stopped visiting. But that didn't mean he would give up fixing their friendship. So, he logged into the game. He knew Ying Cheng wouldn't meet with him in the game even if he messaged the other. So, he simply messaged Liang Sen.

Huang Wen released a deep sigh. When he raised his head, he saw Luo Yan's back, and a wry smile subconsciously crossed his lips.

The two would most likely be together. Even if they weren't, he could simply ask Liang Sen to contact Ying Chen. Thankfully, the two were together, so he didn't have to do that.

Upon seeing him, Ying Chen didn't hesitate to show his dissatisfaction. But he still shamelessly tagged along with the two. Which then ended up with him being a huge burden because he was such a noob. He still didn't leave, though.

Days continued on like that. Uncle Ying Chen couldn't take it anymore and shouted at him. Telling him to get lost if he wouldn't be of use. He didn't mind it. In fact, it made him happy. Because that's the first time Ying Chen had talked to him since the start of this 'cold war'.

Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind at that moment. What if he continued to annoy Ying Chen? Maybe the other would also continue to shout at him. That's definitely better than total silence.

And his plan worked!

The more he annoyed Ying Chen, the more attention the other gave him. After a few days of that, it was Liang Sen who couldn't take the way they were acting any longer.

What the other said kind of made a huge impression on him.

[What the hell is happening with you two? Ah Wen is acting like Ah Chen and Ah Chen is acting like Ah Wen. Did someone curse you and switched your souls?]

That kind of hit something within Huang Wen. Because if he really thought about it, Liang Sen was only stating facts.

If before, Ying Chen was the one trying his best to get his attention, the one always indulging his every whim, the one who had always been there. And now, that was no longer the case. Just like what Liang Sen had said, their position had now been reversed.

That's when he realized that he had been taking Ying Chen for granted. From when they were kids until now. If the other didn't start to ignore him, he might have not even realized it.

That it had to take this much for him to even realize this showed just how much of a total buffoon he was. He was not only a buffoon, but also a hopeless and utter jerk.

Huang Wen released a deep sigh. When he raised his head, he saw Luo Yan's back, and a wry smile subconsciously crossed his lips.

The big joke here was, because of what was happening with Ying Chen, any thoughts he had about Luo Yan just disappeared.

Now he's starting to wonder if he even truly liked the other.
