It's Just a Game. Do You Really Have to Take It Offline?

Xiao Linye only clicked into a game, then unexpectedly got into a feud with someone.

The two of them kept fighting, but eventually he couldn't compete with the other guy's spending. So he started playing dirty.

Attacking at dawn, guerrilla tactics, and one sneaky move after another.

Later, the feud escalated, and Xiao Linye started using psychological warfare.

Xiao Linye: "You're this obsessed with me? Got a crush on me?"

Xiao Linye: "I wouldn't be against it. Looking for a partner?"

Xiao Linye: "Hubby~"

Watching a string of asterisks pop up on the other player's screen, Xiao Linye felt vindicated and secretly delighted.

After that, he took things even further, chasing the other guy around and calling him "hubby" for months. Somehow, it really did ease the conflict.

When he got bored, he chose to migrate to another server on the final day of the migration period and settled down to farm.

Who knew that during the next migration period, three months later, his "bargain hubby" would follow him there!

Not only did he chase Xiao Linye around calling him "wife," he even seemed to know what city he lived in?

He felt vaguely uneasy, but figured it couldn't be anything serious. It was just a game.

Besides, in real life he was a refined, elegant cafe-by-day and bar-by-night owner, nothing like the person he was in the game.

Then he noticed a man so handsome it was almost unbelievable. The man had been coming to his shop for drinks for half a month, and his gaze was growing more and more intense.

Things started to take a turn for the worse...
