Chapter 2778 The Online Game Master's "Straight Male" Roommate 19

Comic convention day.

From the moment he woke up in the morning, Cheng Lang's uneasy feeling hadn't subsided.

Jin Chen rarely gets up early, and she even carefully put together a scarf and accessories, looking ready for an important date.

Cheng Lang was also going to see his idol, and he should have been excited, but he suppressed his excitement and felt a sour feeling instead.

It's so frustrating! A friend, a brother, a roommate, a senior—all those relationships combined... can't compare to a game partner on the internet?!

Cheng Lang never thought of himself as someone who would be petty in friendships; he was generous to his friends and never asked for anything in return.

But when it came to Jin Chen, all the standards shifted.

The car was driven into the parking lot of the comic convention venue, and the engine was turned off.

Jin Chen unbuckled his seatbelt, then suddenly turned to the side and leaned closer to look at Cheng Lang up close.

“Senior,” Jin Chen asked, “Weren’t you supposed to meet your guild friends today? You don’t seem very happy.”

Being so close, Cheng Lang smelled the sandalwood fragrance on him and turned his head away uncomfortably, mumbling, "I'm happy, of course I'm happy."

Jin Chen stared at him for two seconds, then chuckled softly, "Alright."

"Let's go then, senior. Don't keep them waiting."

The exhibition hall was well-heated and bustling with people. Cosplayers moved about, creating a vibrant and fun atmosphere, as if stepping into another dimension.

Jin Chen glanced at his phone and saw a message from An Ying Lang expressing his full support for his surprise preparations for today.

He took off his scarf, turned his head to look at Cheng Lang, who seemed a little absent-minded beside him, and said in a cheerful tone, "I'm going to get ready now. Senior, you should also go meet your friends in the guild soon."

“Prepare,” Cheng Lang frowned slightly, “Prepare what?”

Jin Chen's eyes crinkled into a smile. "What a surprise!"

"This is for my partner. I hope... he'll like it."

Cheng Lang: "..."

good very good!

Xiao Chen hasn't prepared any surprises for him yet!

I've been outdone again!

After Jin Chen left, Cheng Lang stood there and took out his phone to check it.

Xun Chen: See you later^^

Yes, he's here to see his idol today, which is something to be happy about, and he shouldn't let it affect his mood.

With that in mind, Cheng Lang perked up and went to the location agreed upon in the guild group chat.

As the top guild, Xianquju also has Xunchen, the number one richest player on the list, who generously booked a private room for their team building event.

A comfortable rest area, a buffet table, and themed backdrops perfect for taking photos.

When Cheng Lang pushed open the door, there were seven or eight people chatting together inside.

The two cutely dressed girls' eyes lit up at the same time, and they blurted out, "...He Liangyue!"

Being called by his game ID in real life was a first for Cheng Lang, so he smiled and nodded in greeting.

"Hello, I am Cheng Lang, game ID: He Liangyue."

When he smiles, he has a unique charm that makes it easy for people to like him.

The girl in the Lolita dress smiled brightly, "I'm Sweetie, Moon Warrior, you're even more handsome than I imagined!"

Mala Tang exclaimed, "Moon Warrior, your physique is amazing! That height, those long legs, those broad shoulders and narrow waist... no wonder you're with the God of Cookery..."

She was halfway through her sentence when Nuomi Tuan swiftly covered her mouth with her hand, the force so great it almost made Mala Tang faint.

Nuomi Tuan: "...No wonder we had such great teamwork in the game! It seems handsome guys and expert players have something in common!"

Little Sweet Cookie and Glutinous Rice Ball exchanged a knowing glance, then, pulling the still struggling Spicy Hot Pot, quickly turned their backs to Cheng Lang and the others, and huddled together.

"That was close! Mala Tang, you big mouth!!"

"That's right, the master repeatedly told us to give the Moon Warrior a surprise!"

"I still think it's so dreamlike... The god is actually chasing the moon warrior, and he's even my roommate in real life. What kind of amazing plot is this?"

"Delicious, so delicious! I have to take a picture of it later!"

Their discussion was very quiet, and Cheng Lang couldn't hear it at all.

He walked towards the rest area, and the composed man stood up. "I've heard so much about you. I am Jian Wuchao."

"Hello, President."

Mingyuejiang sat next to him; he was very talkative and soon pulled Cheng Lang into a conversation.

The atmosphere quickly became harmonious.

The girl, Yang Liu, rested her chin on her hand and said, "Moon Warrior, I feel like you're a little distracted. Are you waiting for our great god?"

Upon hearing this, several members who were in the know revealed meaningful smiles.

Cheng Lang touched his nose sheepishly, but didn't deny it. "Yes, I'm really looking forward to meeting the master. After all, he's my idol."

Little Sweetie, who was sitting facing the door of the private room, sat up straight, patted the spicy hot pot and glutinous rice ball, and said, "Here he comes, the master is here!"

Cheng Lang turned and looked towards the door.

The box door was pushed open.

The first one to peek in was a boy with an exaggerated bright green wig, wearing a Pikachu-themed T-shirt and overalls, grinning from ear to ear.

"He Liangyue!"

Cheng Lang's pupils suddenly contracted.

Cheng Lang was greatly shocked.

Is this the great god Xun Chen? The difference between him and the image of the aloof beauty he had imagined is too great.

The pro player is so lively and outgoing offline!

"Hehe, it's me! Shadow Wanderer~ Surprised? Unexpected?"

Cheng Lang: "..."

Shadow Wave chuckled and strode in. "Moon Warrior, don't be disappointed yet! Turn back, turn back! The main event is yet to come."

Cheng Lang hesitated for a moment, then turned around and stared at the exquisitely crafted mousse cake on the plate in front of him.

The expert has already helped him so much—clarifying rumors, inviting him to join the guild, and running dungeons together… what other surprises could there be?

Before I could even sort out my thoughts, a familiar scent wafted over.

Cheng Lang was slightly taken aback and turned around.

The newcomer wore a moon-purple long robe embroidered with dark cloud and crane patterns, its flowing sleeves giving off an ethereal, otherworldly aura, as if he were from a video game.

Looking up, I came into the familiar peach blossom eyes that I knew all too well.

Jin Chen stood behind him, leaning slightly forward and lightly tapping his shoulder with her folding fan. She was even more exquisite and noble than the character model in the game, with unparalleled handsomeness.

He looked into Cheng Lang's incredulous eyes, his smile deepening, like the first thaw of spring water.

"Senior, we meet again."
