QHM Chapter 83 – Part 2

[mfn]TL: Part 2 💜[/mfn]The skyrocketing viewer count had the God of Chuuni’s fans seeing red with jealousy.

What the hell was going on? Why the hell was this Angel having such insane luck after his return?!

Xu Yin took it all in with a calm gaze.

After regaining his composure, he kept fighting NPCs while deep in thought.

It made sense that his hubby—whose body still retained its instincts—would be drawn to gaming. That was expected.

What wasn’t expected was that his hubby’s other streamer account… was this famous.

And just then, a private message popped up in the lower-right corner of his screen.

This was a message only he could see—the viewers had no idea.

It was from ly.

ly: “Sorry. I didn’t tell you in advance that I had a main account.”

Xu Yin’s expression immediately darkened: No, your biggest problem is that you’re spending money like a lunatic.

He figured he needed to have a serious talk with his hubby after this stream. For now, he just kept a cold face and swiftly wiped out a group of NPCs.

Meanwhile, the chat was going wild—half of them were screaming over his hardcore gameplay, while the other half were losing their minds over the gossip about him and the Flower God.

—The Flower God is such a cold, ascetic guy! But those three extra aircraft carriers he threw in… and the fact that he switched to his main account just for this?

—He’s so obviously standing up for Yin!!

—This level of public backing is insane… What’s going on with these two??

—Did they just meet? Or have they actually known each other for a long time, and we just never knew?

Some people thought it over carefully—then confidently concluded: They definitely already knew each other.

The way they interacted—one speaking in-game, the other responding in chat—was way too natural.

And if that were true, then all those messy rumors about “a rich sugar daddy and a streamer” were completely irrelevant.

No, this wasn’t about money.

This was just the Flower God spoiling him rotten.

And let’s be real—no one spoils a “brother” like this.

Xu Yin didn’t bother checking the forums to see how much the gossip had escalated—he had other priorities.

The moment he cleared the dungeon, he logged off immediately.

Chat went into a full meltdown.

“Where did Yin go?! Is he not continuing?!”

“Is the Flower God still here?! Is he staying?!”

“Both of them disappeared at the same time…”

Yeah. Because Xu Yin had something important to deal with.

The second he exited the game, he messaged his hubby—his tone serious.

Xu Yin: “Stop throwing money around. I mean it.”

Sure, he could just stash the money away for his hubby, but that wasn’t the point.

Xu Yin felt like this kind of reckless spending needed to stop.

ly: “…Mm.”

…That response.

Xu Yin could already picture that man, lips pressed into a thin line, face completely serious.

For some reason, it was kind of funny.

To be honest, if Xu Yin didn’t have his memories, his hubby’s over-the-top behavior this time would have completely bewildered him.

…

That thought flickered through his mind, and suddenly, Xu Yin felt like he had caught onto something.

His reaction had been a little slow, sure—but not that slow.

At this moment, a question finally surfaced—

—Was he overthinking this?

Their meeting in this world had been… strange.

For a brief second, something in his heart clicked into place. A quiet suspicion.

…

Xu Yin stared at the chat window.

After a moment of silence, he typed a question—one filled with careful curiosity.

“Are you trying to pursue me?”

The chat instantly showed: “The other party is typing…”

That short moment stretched out.

As he waited, Xu Yin’s thoughts floated—drifting through past memories.

He thought about every time he had met his hubby.

Every single time, from the very first moment they laid eyes on each other—his hubby’s gaze was so gentle.

He never remembered anything, yet they would always fall into deep, burning love.

It seemed like this time was no different.

But… something was off.

Because this time, they hadn’t even met yet.

All his hubby had done was hear his voice.

Feeling a sense of closeness? Sure, that made sense. Xu Yin had even planned to take it slow this time—gradually getting closer to him in this world.

But his hubby’s actions were…

Too passionate.

Xu Yin kept staring at the chat window.

Then, the reply came.

“Mm… I like you, Yin.”

—Thump.

Xu Yin’s throat bobbed.

He stared at those words.

For the first time, his hubby had clearly said it—

I like you.

…

That afternoon, Xu Yin hadn’t noticed anything too strange.

But now—staring at those four words—he finally, completely realized it.

This confession…

Wasn’t like before.

His heartbeat sped up.

Fingers hovering over the keyboard, he typed again.

“Why?”

He had never once asked his hubby this question before.

If in the past, every time they met—at the very instant their gazes locked—his hubby’s instincts awoke, creating a cycle of love at first sight…

Then what about this time?

This time, they hadn’t even truly met yet.

This time, when did your feelings for me begin?

Xu Yin asked the question in his heart.

The chat box once again showed: “The other party is typing…”

And the longer hubby took to type, the stronger Xu Yin’s premonition became.

018 sounded confused. “What’s going on? What happened?”

Xu Yin lowered his eyes, his fingertips trembling just slightly.

The next few seconds stretched—elongating into infinity.

Then suddenly—

Xu Yin lifted his gaze, cutting off hubby’s reply with a clean, decisive message:

“I want to start a medium-sized instance. Do you want to join me?”

The typing paused.

Then came the reply.

“Okay.”

—

The forum exploded.

One post after another appeared—

《Flower God showed up in Yin’s live stream!》

“Can you believe it? The rich guy throwing aircraft carriers at Yin is actually Flower God! Everyone’s starting to suspect these two already had something going on in private!”

“Did anyone watch Yin’s stream just now? That was so thrilling, SO thrilling!”

The replies piled up at an alarming speed.

Then, ten minutes later—

“OMG. Yin and Flower God just queued up for a three-player instance!!’

—

Xu Yin absentmindedly scrolled through the medium-sized instances, picking at random.

He wasn’t paying much attention—until he noticed a zombie instance had just been uploaded ten minutes ago.

Without thinking, he selected it.

Only after confirming did he realize…

—It was a three-player instance.

Since he’d already made the choice, Xu Yin couldn’t be bothered to change it.

In the haze of his drifting thoughts, Xu Yin waited for two minutes.

And then, he arrived.

Xu Yin’s gaze locked onto him.

On this platform, the man’s virtual avatar naturally differed from his real appearance.

He was still tall, still handsome, but…

Maybe it was just Xu Yin’s own filter, but the real him was undeniably better looking.

—Yet, despite that.

The moment their eyes met—

The instant Xu Yin looked into those deep black eyes, veiled with something… indescribable, complex—

A sharp sting shot through his eyes, his heart clenched as if struck.

It really was different.

This time, this world—was entirely, utterly different.

—

The game instance loaded in:

A post-apocalyptic wasteland, desolate and barren.

And in the midst of it, he walked toward Xu Yin.

—

A blurred memory surfaced—

The third world.

That night they first met.

His heart pounded, heavily and fast.

A faint ringing buzzed in his ears.

His fingers curled, just slightly.

—

Yan Shixiu stopped in front of him.

His lips parted, as if he wanted to say something—yet held back.

—

The live stream chat exploded.

“AAAAAHHHH THIS FAST?? THIS FAST?? THEY’RE ALREADY RUNNING INSTANCES TOGETHER??”

“WTF ARE THEY DATING OR NOT??”

“THE ATMOSPHERE BETWEEN THEM IS SO INTENSE WTF??”

—

Then—

Xu Yin suddenly spoke.

His voice was hoarse.

“…Lingqi?”

—

Yan Shixiu froze.

—

The chat stalled for a second.

“? What did Yin just say?”

“07?”

“WHAT IS HAPPENING?? WHY AM I SO ANXIOUS??”

—

Yan Shixiu’s expression—changed.

A flicker of genuine confusion, hesitation.

That expression…

How familiar it was.

The same expression he had at the end of the last world.

Wasn’t it?

—

Xu Yin’s eyes burned.

His lips twitched—then he let out a soft laugh.

—

Yan Shixiu tensed instantly.

His hand lifted, gently brushing the corner of Xu Yin’s eye.

A quiet voice.

“…Yinyin?”

—

The chat ERUPTED.

“????”

“YIN-YIN?? DID HE JUST CALL HIM YIN-YIN INTIMATELY??”

“FVCK, SO THAT’S IT!”

“SO. DOES THAT MEAN THEY’RE ALREADY TOGETHER, RIGHT??”[mfn]TL: Hi there! Yue’s back ! I apologize if I took a long time to update. I got quite busy with my thesis and all. Anyways, I hope you’re still here, well and alive. Hehe. Happy reading ! [/mfn]
