1 Person in the Mirror (1/2)
The Sword Among Us tournament was in Mount Hua!
Shaolin disciple Happy voluntarily forfeited his right to compete in the best of sixteen competition because he did not show up…
As an unknown Shaolin disciple, he became the greatest dark horse who forced his way into the Sword Among Us competition in Mount Hua, but right when millions of people turned to him to see what would happen, he voluntarily forfeited! This news shocked the official forum of World of Martial Arts since it was the greatest surprise in the history of the game.
The day after, Happy was caught in a conflict with someone at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain [1]. In the end, he was killed multiple times by the disciples of Five Venoms, who had laid an ambush for him a long time ago.

In the end, Happy, who had managed to get into the best sixteen in a competition involving the whole world, could not even fight against multiple normal Five Venoms elders. With all hopes dashed to pieces, Chen Kaixin deleted Happy and exited the game. On that day, he left the World of Martial Arts.
And yet, what he did not expect was that he would wake up from his dream on an intoxicating stormy night.
Chen Kaixin shook his head violently while standing dazed in his four-person dorm with which he was intimately familiar. His eyes swept to the calendar on his desk—2013. He could not believe that all of this was real. He tapped his head, which still swam because he had yet to sober up. His mind felt heavy, and his limbs light. He rushed to the bathroom, impatient to learn the truth.
He was stunned.
The person in the mirror opened his mouth wide. His expression was filled with disbelief.
The person in the mirror was young.
That person was the replica of Chen Kaixin from when he was a junior in university. He was fair, and a little handsome. The studious look was still there as well. He was wearing a very normal and cheap Adidas T-shirt and pants, and he looked very naive… Everything had returned to three years ago.
'But…' The Chen Kaixin in the mirror touched his familiar but also unfamiliar chin with his mind in a mess. 'How can this be?!'
Despite his confusion, the three onlookers who had appeared beside him did not notice anything off.
The trio were naturally Chen Kaixin's good friends and dormmates. Ever since Chen Kaixin decided to act recklessly and drink, they had watched his every move from the top bunks. They did not dare rashly snap ”Happy” awake.
”There's something off about Happy.”
A tall and thin boy pushed his glasses up. He spoke as if he had just made a discovery, but the other two people only rolled their eyes at him.
”Duh.”
”Would a person who is perfectly fine drink a bottle of white wine, half a bottle of red wine, and six cans of beer? This brat can drink pretty well…”
”Hey, we shouldn't be talking about how much he can drink right now, right? Look, Happy's expression is very weird. He looks angry and dejected. He's even smiling coldly at the mirror… My god, Happy won't actually be thinking about committing suicide, right?”
”Are you blind? Why don't you just take off your glasses if that's the case? It's clear that Happy is smiling in anguish…” Chen Fan shot the tall and skinny Bai Lang a condescending glare. The latter refused to admit defeat and flipped him the bird in retaliation.
”Come on, guys, knock it off. We're talking about Happy here.” The last of the three could no longer continue watching them.
”Pervert, you heard him. Be the judge and tell us who is right—”
”YOU were the one who provoked me first!”
”Don't call me Pervert. My name is Qi Ci.” Qi Ci was rendered speechless by the duo.
Bai Lang just said what was on his mind, ”Alright, it doesn't matter what you're called. What is important is that—”
Qi Ci's felt anger burn in him. He was even close to spitting fire! ”What do you mean it's not important? It's MY name, okay?”
”Hey.”
When he saw that a certain someone was about to explode in anger, Chen Kaixin found himself unable to continue ignoring their bickering, which grew in volume by the second.
”If you want to argue, do it outside.”
”Fine! The man who has his heart broken is the one with the greatest power today. We'll show you respect today.”
Bai Lang's outspoken behavior caused Qi Ci and Chen Fan to feel embarrassed for him. The two of them would very much love to stuff a bar of soap into his mouth, but they ended up just pushing him out in a flurry.
At that moment, Chen Kaixin, who felt lightheaded, finally registered a little of what had happened due to his three valuable buddies.
Bai Lang was a top student of the computer engineering department. He constantly used his bad sight to search for a girlfriend, but never managed to find one even after three years. He was known as the Lonely Brother White who was always lonely when it was daytime.
Chen Fan was Bai Lang's coursemate. He was slightly darker and an abnormally active person in his course and class. Unfortunately, he gave girls no sense of security, so he also had no girlfriend for the time being. He was known as the Lonely Brother Black who became lonely at night.
The last of them was Qi Ci, who was dubbed Pervert by Bai Lang and Chen Fan…
He was a responsible person, but since he was the only one in the dorm who had a girlfriend, he was always the object of ”ostracization” and ”suppression”. After one particular joke, his glorious nickname of the man who could ”ejaculate seven times a night” was set in stone, and Qi Ci became known to everyone as a man who could ejaculate seven times. He was the Lonely Seven Times Brother who was lonely both day and night (and the one who did not live up to his nickname).
The three of them were known together as the Three Lonely Wolves of the Computer Engineering Department!
...
When the sound of the door closing reached his ears, Chen Kaixin finally remembered that he seemed to have drunk a lot the previous night. He did not have a lot of memories of drinking excessively in university, so one time had left the deepest impression… It was because he had embarrassed himself the most at that time.
It was due to his first confession.
During the second term, on a drizzling night, Happy had unexpectedly run into the woman of his dreams at the entrance of his department's building. It was the girl whom he had a crush on for around two years and who was widely acknowledged as the most beautiful and gentle girl in their department—Xu Xin. She was their department princess.
Xu Xin had stood alone in the corridor while staring at the drizzle outside.
