Listening to the sound of typing beside him, Qi Yang also put away his inner thoughts and began to enter the number to log in to his account.

The first thing Qiyang did upon logging into the game was to open the friend list and take a look. Little Demon Yingying was still on the list, but her name was grayed out - she was offline.

"Who is this? Is your girlfriend playing with you?"

Suddenly, a close sound came from Qiyang's ear, startling him. He quickly turned his head and felt something soft brushing against his lips. Looking closely, it turned out to be Wei Ying's face. Because Wei Ying was speaking in his ear, the two of them were pressed together tightly. By a stroke of luck, Qiyang's lips happened to brush against his cheek with a bit of force.

"Uh... I'm sorry!" Qi Yang became flustered all of a sudden, stuttering as he spoke. He hurriedly used both hands to vigorously wipe Wei Ying's face, saying, "I'm sorry, I was lost in thought just now! I didn't see you standing nearby."

Meanwhile, Wei Ying on the other side had already stood dumbfounded in his original spot.

"Sorry... I'm really sorry." A blush of embarrassment began to spread across Qi Yang's face as he muttered his apologies. His voice gradually grew softer until, in the end, he was only lowering his head, biting his lower lip with a look of grievance.

"It's alright." Wei Ying gradually regained his composure, slowly averting his gaze. "I shouldn't have gotten so close."

"I'm sorry for being impulsive." Qiyang seemed to have given up on trying to make the other party not mind this matter, and kept his head down, not daring to look up. His fingers were intertwined in front of him, fidgeting with each other.

"No problem, go ahead and log in. My friend is still waiting for us."

"Um..."

Afterward, Qiyang dared not speak.

Following Wei Ying into the game, I added him as a friend. I was dragged into a team to run dungeons, listening to him casually joking and discussing strategies with the other players on voice chat, but I remained tightly silent the whole time.

"You stand behind us as soon as you enter, don't move forward. Got it?" It wasn't until they entered the instance that Wei Ying turned his head and spoke, only to find Qi Yang curled up in his chair like a ball, his gaze fixated on the keyboard. He nodded lightly in response to hearing Wei Ying speak.

"It's really nothing, I don't mind." She raised her hand and patted his head, causing Wei Ying to let out a bitter laugh. "Clearly, it's my fault, I should be the one apologizing."

"Ah, it's nothing, really. I wasn't thinking about what happened earlier!" Qi Yang lifted his gaze briefly, then quickly recoiled in fear. He continued to keep his head down, staring at the keyboard.

It's nothing... I don't know if this guy is just too naive or if he's putting up walls around himself. To shrink back over such a trivial matter... Wei Ying thought to himself, but his fingers unconsciously began to rub his cheeks.

It feels quite comfortable, with soft lips. I rubbed my own face with my fingers for a long time, and the slightly blurry sensation became even more apparent in comparison. It might be a bit challenging to win over this innocent and pure person, but it's worth it! This little mouth, if only...

With his mind wandering to inappropriate places, Wei Ying pursed his lips tightly, suppressing the smile that was about to burst out. He hooked one hand around the microphone on his earphones and pulled it closer to his mouth. "An Mu, if our little night assassin gets injured, make sure to heal him. Don't worry about me."

Entering the instance, Qi Yang slowly raised his head.

In front of me is a glamorous castle, surrounded by blooming flowers and adorned with exquisite carvings on the stone pillars. Even though it only exists on the computer screen, it is magnificent and extraordinary.

There were 10 people participating in the instance. At the beginning, Qi Yang didn't feel anything unusual, just that these people had magnificent and cool-looking equipment. However, as they continued walking, he suddenly felt that something seemed off no matter how he looked at it.

After pondering for a while, Qi Yang, the curious little soul, couldn't hold back and asked, "Why do I feel like everyone is covered in pitch-black... it doesn't quite match with this replica, does it?"

"Oh, you don't know about this yet." Wei Ying took off his earphones halfway and hung them behind his ears, then began to explain. "In the game Magic Prison, there are two main categories. Did you notice when selecting characters? There's the Light and the Dark. The game's background is the struggle between light and darkness. The Dark can only team up with those from the same faction to run dungeons and level up. Plus, the dungeons we can run are all castles and territories of the Light faction. Once you reach level 90, you can engage in PvP—that's when you can battle against players from the Light faction. In short, the factions are different, so we can't play together."

The person on the other end of the earphones seemed to have said something. Wei Ying chuckled lightly into the mic, "Teach the newbie, right? Haven't you also gone through the beginner stage?"
