Chapter 101 : I Am Fire

It was necessary to say something to break away the awkward silence. But He Jin was just staring at him, and it hurt even more than asking him loudly. Qin Yang felt like his heart was twisted, he was so nervous that he didn’t know what to say.

He already told Ah Jin in the game that he liked him, so what if he said that in reality too? He reckoned if he did so, their friendship would come to an end. However, he couldn’t control himself, and he felt like he didn’t own his voice anymore, he told He Jin directly, “He Jin, I like you.”

But this statement was like a hammer striking He Jin’s heart, not only did it fail to calm him down, but it made him even angrier!

– Yes, you like me, as Fire, or as Qin Yang, you can tell me whatever you like, but have you ever considered my feelings, have you ever thought that I’ve been facing two different people? What if I didn’t lose sleep last night, and what if I hadn’t read all those messages? Then, I would still perceive you as two different people. And what you’ve just said would not be a surprise to me, but a mental torture!

He Jin’s shoulders were shivering as he felt too emotional. He looked at Qin Yang and said in revenge, “I am already into someone else!”

Qin Yang’s whole body was shaking. He was ready to be “hated” and “avoided” by He Jin, he also anticipated a reply such as “I’m not gay”, but he’d never expected such an answer!

He’s already into someone else…how come He Jin never mentioned about it…

Wasn’t he single? And didn’t he just break up with that girl?

When they were at school, He Jin was either in the game or attending classes, even if he had extra time left, it was all occupied by Qin Yang, how come he still had time to be into someone else? Could this guy be randomly looking for an excuse?

Also, when a guy told him that he liked him, shouldn’t he first put the focus on gender issues? He shouldn’t have given such an answer even if he was looking for an excuse!

“You don’t despise homo, do you?” Qin Yang anxiously asked, “then who are you into?”

He Jin took a step back and shouted in his mind – are you stupid?! Don’t you know already??!!

But if He Jin told him, Qin Yang would soon realize that He Jin had known everything earlier…

He Jin trembled and said, “the one in the game…” he wanted to treat Qin Yang the way he was treated. He didn’t intend to force Qin Yang to make up his mind, he just wanted to know what his reaction would be, when he found out that his enemy is himself!

Qin Yang’s face instantly became weird, the one in the game…could it be himself then?

Qin Yang seemed to have been dragged out from the dark mist, he was no longer confused, and he was more than thrilled to know this answer!

– As a result, He Jin rejected his real self because of his game self?!

Right! Qin Yang now finally understood!

As he had been hiding his real identity all along, He Jin had completely perceived him and Fire as two different people, and that’s why he was acting so close to Fire, yet so distant to his real self. Since whom he liked was Fire, and he hadn’t realized that Fire is him, hence he had two different attitudes!

But wait, no, didn’t He Jin reject his game self the previous night too?

And what’s the reason for this rejection?! Qin Yang tried his best to think, “this fantasy is good, and I have the same fantasy toward you, I don’t want to break it.”
