Chapter 1: The Person in the Mirror

The global debate takes place at Mount Hua

At that moment, unaware of where his courage came from, Chen Kaixin impulsively walked up and offered his umbrella to the other person. The result was an awkward scene—Xu Xin had just shifted her gaze, taking an umbrella out of her bag, and was taken aback to see Chen Kaixin's expression, which had quickly transformed from one of generous self-sacrifice to an embarrassed shade of liver color.

At this moment

Ah!

In the mirror, Chen Kaixin touched his familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar chin, his mind feeling as if it were stuffed with a large mass of glue

Shh

Originally, he was a person of integrity, but because Qi Ci was the only one in the dormitory with a girlfriend, he became the target of constant "exclusion" and "suppression." After a joke, the glorious title of "Seven Times a Night" was completely confirmed, and Qi Ci became known as Mr. Seven Times in the minds of everyone who knew him, a man whose name belied the reality of his lonely existence both day and night.

In the second semester of her junior year, on a drizzly evening, Kai Xin encountered her dream lover, Xu Xin, who had been the object of her affection for over two years and was widely recognized in the department as the most beautiful and gentle girl.

This name is destined to be remembered by people all over the world

Hello, it seems that this is not the time to discuss drinking capacity. Look, the happy expression is quite off, both angry and dejected, leaning back with a cold smile at the mirror... My goodness, is happiness contemplating a drastic decision

Finally

Chen Kaixin walked out of the bathroom, and the three of them immediately turned back with silly smiles, saying, "Haha, we knew you would be fine. If anything happens, don't be afraid. We pooled our resources to get you a virtual reality headset. Tomorrow, the four of us in the dormitory will fight side by side, charging into the world. We won't pay any attention to the gossip in the school."

How is that possible

As an unnamed lay disciple of Shaolin, he forcefully entered the top sixteen of the Huashan Sword Debate as the biggest dark horse, and at the moment when billions of viewers were eagerly watching, he unexpectedly withdrew from the competition! This news shocked the official forum of "Jianghu" and simultaneously revealed the biggest upset in history

In their view, after a confession is rejected, a night of drunkenness seemingly does not resolve the issue of 'happiness' for the heartbroken man. Consequently, this unfortunate young man, Xiao Chu, is left to lick his wounds alone until they heal.

The helmet is in your wardrobe

Standing in the four-person dormitory, which was so familiar it felt etched in his bones, Chen Kai's gaze swept over the 2013 calendar on the desk, and he shook his head vigorously! He could not believe that everything before him was real. He tapped his head, which was still heavy from the alcohol, feeling light-headed and somewhat impatient as he rushed into the bathroom

Who let the cat out of the bag in advance?

Is it really that outrageous

The Shaolin lay disciple "Kai Xin" automatically forfeited the competition for the top sixteen due to absence from the event

Less than a month after its grand launch, "Jianghu" has attracted over 50 million players worldwide in a short period. The special terminal device, the virtual headset, has been sold for 3,600 RMB each.

The next day

The first confession

Memories gradually become clearer

"... Is there anyone who can finish a bottle of white wine, half a bottle of red wine, and then follow it up with six bottles of beer? This guy has quite a tolerance for alcohol..."

Installment payment, to be settled in three years

Damn

These three individuals are also referred to as the 'Lonely Three Wolves' of the Computer Science Department

In a state of confusion, three bystanders appeared beside the books, yet none of them noticed.

In the restroom next door, three lewd men overheard a heartbroken man muttering inexplicably and intermittently to himself, exchanging glances with one another

The joy of breaking into the global top sixteen was ultimately overshadowed, as even several ordinary elders of the Five Poisons Sect could not withstand it. In despair, he directly deleted the name 'Kai Xin' and Chen Kaixin exited the game, thus distancing himself from the 'Jianghu'.

Qi Ci's forehead dripped with sweat

Stop guessing; you all were talking in your sleep last night, and I heard everything clearly.

... ... ''

"You, with your severe myopia, might as well throw away your glasses; happiness is clearly just a bitter smile..." Chen Fan shot a disdainful glance at the tall and thin Bai Lang, who defiantly responded by raising his middle finger.

As it became evident that someone was about to erupt, Chen Kaixin finally could no longer ignore the increasingly loud argument among the three people

... ... ''

During the break, this scene quickly became the most classic and popular topic of jokes on campus, which subsequently led to an incident involving a certain man who was drunk late at night

I will still be called 'Happy'

... ...

Good! A man who has experienced heartbreak is at his best; today, I give you face

Is this the low-key brother who is said to be unassuming and discreet?

What he never expected was

The boundaries continue to diminish

Nonsense

"Yí, yí, yí, I’ll give you a head, that’s talking about the dead!" Finally finding the opportunity, Qí Cì struck Bai Lǎng's head repeatedly.

Chen Fan, a classmate of Bai Lang, has darker skin and is an exceptionally active member in both the department and the class. Unfortunately, he lacks a sense of security in the eyes of girls, which is why he has not had a girlfriend up to this point. He is known for his loneliness, famously stating that "when night falls, loneliness sets in".

I said, have you had enough? We are now discussing matters of joy

Bai Lang's bluntness once again left Qi Ci and Chen Fan feeling embarrassed, to the point where they wished they could stuff a bar of soap in his mouth, hurriedly pushing him out.

Qi Ci reacted quickly, promptly bringing out the second set of battle plans that had been prepared long in advance, in order to divert attention from the criminal act of eavesdropping committed by the three of them

Finally, there is Brother Qi Ci, who is referred to as a 'pervert' by Bai Lang and Chen Fan

On this intoxicating stormy night, he unexpectedly woke from his dream

"You heard it, you judge for yourself..." "Clearly, it was you who approached me first."

The three of them fell silent once again

Chen Kaixin does not care about them

The three of them stared in astonishment at the one hundred yuan that Chen Kai had cleverly handed over, speechless for a long time: "Good lad, you still want to pay off something worth over three thousand yuan in installments over three years? Your awareness is quite high, isn't it"

This fellow regrets not moving forward a bit more yesterday

In the mirror, Chen Kaixin, with a face full of indignation, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth

The scene from three years ago resurfaced as if it were just yesterday. In the mirror, Chen Kaixin's fair face quickly flushed red and felt hot, and her expression rapidly turned strange and bewildered.

Do not call me a pervert, my name is Qi Ci

It was already too late for the three of them to silence the commotion

... ...

It seems that there is a bit of a problem with happiness

The latter stood alone in the corridor, gazing at the light rain outside

However

For this reason, at every class reunion, there is always someone who steps forward to lighten the mood by making jokes at their own expense

Another person could no longer bear to watch

The Sword Contest on Mount Hua Three Years Later

Bai Lang smiled with a lewd and smug expression, saying: "As expected of what we have trained, it truly carries the legacy of our Computer Science Department's lonely three wolves!"

To make a scene.

Qi's forehead veins throbbed violently, faintly showing signs of forming the character '井'. "What do you mean by unimportant? Please, that is my name, alright?"

Even after several years, every time Chen Kaixin thinks about this matter, recalling his foolish expression of not knowing whether to retract or offer the umbrella, he feels extremely embarrassed

Where is the helmet

He picked up the soft, folded helmet from the wardrobe, and a hint of inexplicable depth and brilliance appeared in Chen Kai's eyes. After a long silence, he finally raised his head

The person in the mirror has become younger

Chen Kaixin had already experienced this three years ago

Chen Fan did not expect that the heartbroken man would overnight transform from a shy boy into a lecherous wolf, which left him somewhat incredulous

The tall and slender man adjusted his glasses, making a reminder of his discovery, only to be met with the disdainful glances of two others

It can't be that coincidental

At that moment, Chen Kaixin had already made a decision

Kai Xin had a dispute with someone at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain, and both parties engaged in a physical altercation. As a result, he was consecutively killed by a group of members from the Wudu Sect who had been lying in ambush there.

These three individuals are naturally close friends of Chen Kaixin, and ever since Chen Kaixin's episode of madness began, they have been silently observing his every move from the upper bunk, not daring to recklessly 'wake up' 'Kaixin'.

"No! It absolutely isn't me." Bai Lang and Chen Fan began to suspect each other

In the mirror, a person has their mouth wide open, with a face full of disbelief

Although Jianghu has been on the market for less than a month, many individuals have already made their mark. I recall that when he entered, over fifty thousand sects had already been established within Jianghu. Even practitioners of the martial arts classics "Nine Yin Manual" and "Nine Yang Skill" are about to make their appearances. Therefore, at every moment, more martial arts secrets may be inherited by others.

I am called Lonely Little Black, Bai Lang is called Lonely Little White, and I think you should be called Lonely Little Heart. Chen Fan gave Chen Kai Xin a rather clichéd name

Chen Kaixin, feeling dizzy and disoriented, found himself somewhat revived by his three lively friends.

Bai Lang, straightforward and candid: "Alright, alright, what it's called is not important; the key is..."

Bailang pushed his glasses frame in disbelief

A vivid image of myself from my junior year, with a fair and slightly handsome face, the scholarly aura still intact, dressed in a very ordinary and inexpensive Adidas outfit, looking youthful to the point of innocence... Everything has returned to three years ago

However

Upon hearing this, he rolled his eyes and pulled out a red sun from his pocket, stating succinctly and shockingly

They have all crossed over, why not move a bit further ahead

Bai Lang, a top student in the Computer Science Department, spends his days searching for a girlfriend with his severely myopic eyes. After three years, he has achieved no results and is known as the lonely Bai Ge who feels lonely during the day

Hello

It was not until the deliberate sound of the door closing that Chen Kai Xin vaguely remembered that yesterday he seemed to have drunk quite a lot of alcohol. Such memories were not abundant during his university days, and perhaps the most unforgettable one was... his most embarrassing moment.

If someone bullies you after you go in, remember to report my name. I am called 'Lonely Little Seven,' Qi Ci said

I originally thought that the only pure-hearted scholar in the dormitory would find it difficult to mingle with them in the world of gaming, requiring a lot of effort and persuasion to draw him into the game. Unexpectedly, this fellow is quite the hidden gem, appearing even more seasoned than they are.
