Chapter 103 (1/2)
The technician was very attentive. When he was repairing the helmet, he did not say a word. Qin Yang then began texting He Jin using the identity of Fire.
Yesterday, he spent a long time in the café with He Jin, and they were also together in the evening. The two didn’t even say goodnight to each other.
Fire, “wifey, what are you busy with?”
Ah Jin, “I’m working.”
Qin Yang thought sadly, the identity of Fire enabled him to say whatever he wanted. He also felt strongly that He Jin was trying to keep a distance with him in reality. However, Qin Yang found it strange, since He Jin had always differentiated the reality and the game well, shouldn’t he be acting more closely with his friends in reality then?
Fire, “you’re still working. Have you got a new helmet?”
Ah Jin, “not yet. My friend said he knew someone who can fix helmets, and he went to ask for me today.”
Fire, “I hope you’re back to the game soon. I miss you.”
He was indeed thinking, that he could kiss, hug and be in the same room with Ah Jin, yet he couldn’t do anything with him in reality.
After about ten minutes, He Jin replied, “yeah, I want to be in the game too. I miss you a lot too.”
Qin Yang stared at this sentence, this different treatment made him bitter and sweet at the same time!
When he recalled that He Jin had begun to admit his feelings toward Fire during the New Year, Qin Yang began to feel curious. Was he really that attractive in the game, making a shy and protective person like He Jin say something as ‘I miss you’?
In reality, he was also very good to He Jin, he accompanied him to buy a racket, they saw each other often, they bought a scarf together, he accompanied He Jin to the train station, and he’s even helping him repair his helmet…why didn’t He Jin have any feelings by any of his actions? And why didn’t he feel touched?
How could the same person be so close to “Fire”, yet so cold to his real self?
Up to now, Qin Yang had thoroughly tasted what it meant by “setting a trap for oneself.”
After an hour and a half, the technician tested the helmet again. This time, all the green lights were on, “it should be fine now.”
In order to make sure, the technician also checked the information storage part. As the helmet was linked to the player, if there was any wrong or lost information, the factory settings would have to be restored. On the screen, the information of the user was displayed. And the technician let Qin Yang verify them:
User ID: hj2000
Game name: Ah Jin
System test: Male, 22 years old

The technician looked at the familiar game name – what? This helmet belonged to Fire’s wife?
