Chapter 317: Young And Alive

Hyson's lips twitched when he heard that remark from Raelle. He had no words for this best friend. Although it sounded like she was complimenting him, he actually felt like she was taunting him.

Especially when Shui Koshing started laughing.

"Why do I feel like you're making fun of me?" asked Hyson to Raelle.

"Maybe because I am," she answered.

"What a big meanie," grumbled Hyson. But immediately his mood turned into the sunshine as he told her, "Ellie, this gaming computer at your house is so cool! I fell in love with it already!"

"Of course, it's cool. My husband got it for me. How can it not be cool?" responded Raelle that felt she was showing off. But this one remark alone couldn't throw off Hyson's enthusiasm.

He still continued to tell her how smooth it was to work on this computer and how he was enjoying it. Even the mouse was high-performing. The computer screen was not only big but also high definition. It felt like he was pulled into the fantasy world of the game. The gaming experience was truly exceptional!

No wonder people spend fortunes just to upgrade their gaming experience.

While was chattering away, he was suddenly stumped when he saw something unusual. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the screen again. 

"Ellie, is that really your character?" he asked her.

"Yeah," answered Raelle.

"Spin," he ordered her to do so.

Raelle didn't care what he was up to she just pressed the keyboard keys to make her character spin. Hyson's jaw dropped, "It is really your character. But why is it showing that you're married?"

"I am married, am I not?" she asked him.

"I'm talking about your in-game character! You're married in real life, how did your character also follow suit?"

Raelle only then recalled that Hyson didn't know this detail. 

"And who did your character marry? Are you cheating on Xian Ge in the game? Tsk. Tsk. I've expected better from you, Ellie!"

"How can I cheat on him when I married him?" 

"Huh?"

Shui Koshing finally decided to jump in this conversation to clear up Hyson's misunderstanding as he told him, "Raelle's in-game character married Xian's in-game character."

"What?" Hyson was taken aback. "How did I miss this news?"

"You didn't hear about it?" questioned Shui Koshing. Then he felt pleased with himself for being up-to-date as he informed Hyson, "They had a duel in the arena and after that, they got married in the  game."

"Ellie, how can you not tell me?" asked Hyson feeling wronged.

"Because before I could tell you anything, I was informed about your accident," she told him. Indeed, right after she played the game with Xian, the next day Hyson got himself into an accident. She had no time to share anything with him.

"Oh, I missed out on such explosive news just because I was busy getting lost in the snow? What is wrong with me?"

"Only you can tell what's wrong with you."

"If only I knew it myself," lamented Hyson. "Forget it. Let's clear the dungeon together. I'll vent my anger on the dungeon boss!"

They took the dungeon task and started fighting with the mini monsters before reaching the big boss of the dungeons. Killing those bog boss' minions, Raelle even had the leisure to tell Shui Koshing, "Bà, Hyson wants to invite his group mates over. Is it okay with you if he invites them to dinner at our home?"

"That's such a silly question, Raelle. I wasn't expecting it from you," stated Shui Koshing.

"Silly question? Why?"

"Didn't you just say it's our home?" Shui Koshing reminded her. "Then how come you need permission?"

"I still had to ask," said Raelle.

"Pay attention here," came Hyson's voice. "I'm dying here!"

They went silent and started to seriously get engaged in this fight. It took a while to kill the tricky dungeon boss. But only after they cleared it were they happy. 

"I say, we make a good team," was Hyson's opinion. "That just reminded me, you had a duel with Xian Ge in the arena? Who won?"

"Why does it matter?" responded Raelle.

"I need an answer for the peace of my mind," said Hyson. How was he supposed to live in curiosity? That won't be healthy for him. Definitely won't be healthy.

"What if I don't want to provide you any peace of mind?"

"I never got the answer for that question either," Shui Koshing chimed. He did ask the question to his son but he also said the same thing the winner didn't matter. Only the result did and the result was that he tied the knot with his wife even in the game. Hehehe.

"And I am unable to understand why is that important?" 

"Your understanding had always been lacking," said Hyson. "And if I tried to make you understand, it might take a while."

"We are here for the game," reminded Raelle. "I see that we are in good form. So, let's clear more dungeons."

"Yes, let's go to the new dungeon. I heard no one has cleared it yet," said Hyson. "I checked in the forum. The dungeon appeared an hour ago and the first 100 players to clear with get exclusive weapons."

"Since you seem so excited, let's do that," Raelle agreed readily.

Since two teammates had no problem, why would Shui Koshing have any problem? He also followed them to the location of the new dungeon. While playing with these two, Shui Koshing felt like time had turned back and he went back to his youth. 

He hadn't felt this energetic in a while. He had been all alone when Raelle and Xian weren't home. And even though he thought he was used to it but he only now realized that he liked this boisterous scene. 

It made him feel alive and young. 

He could tell that Hyson and Raelle always teamed up since they understood each other without even a word. They could easily assist each other in a fight. Or it was right to say that they always had each other's back even in the game.
