I am the Lucky Cat of an MMORPG

61. Intent

After their talk, XiaoYu and HereticKing decided to walk back to the little alley they first met in only to find out someone else beat them to it. A few unknown players were sitting together on the street...playing cards =_=.

Thus, they turned around. HereticKing pulled XiaoYu into the nearest motel and asked for a normal room.

The moment the door closed, XiaoYu was pushed back until he was stuck between the door and HereticKing. To be honest, XiaoYu still didn't know what happened. However, he did know the other wasn't feeling happy.

Frankly, HereticKing himself didn't know why he was angry either. So even if he was the one who dragged XiaoYu all the way here, he didn't know what to ask or to say. An intimidating sort of silence loomed between them.

"Um...did I do something wrong?" XiaoYu cautiously asked. His skin was prickling at how HereticKing was staring down at him at such a close distance.

"Why does Glory know your name?" They had been chatting on the party channel the entire time they were grinding at the Derelict Ruins. Even if ZhuGe was sneaking along next to them, he wouldn't have heard anything they said.

But the moment the words left HereticKing's mouth, he regretted it. It was XiaoYu's freedom to inform anyone of his real name. The rather jealous tone that question was asked in now sounded as if he was interrogating XiaoYu.

"Oh. We talked about names the last time we met in Serica, so I told him."

"..." XiaoYu's frank and straightforward answer made HereticKing feel dejected instead. Just what was he angry about?

"???" XiaoYu really didn't get it. Was it because he didn't tell HereticKing his full name first? "Um...Actually, you know my full name is Bai XiaoYu from the incident before we went to the ruins. Are you angry I told someone from Wings first?" he asked.

"No." HereticKing drooped. He let down the arm held against the door. He instantly curled XiaoYu into his embrace, his chin resting on the tiny round hat on the other's head. A soft sigh escaped his lips.

XiaoYu didn't find it weird at all. He was probably used to being hugged now after so many times of being pulled into one.

"Were you worried about me?" XiaoYu asked.

"Yes, but I know you're not a child either."

"Okay. I'll pay more attention."

"Are you good friends with Glory and ZhuGe now?" HereticKing had to admit it. He did mind it. A little. Just a little.

"Yes, but...not really good friends." XiaoYu had always been honest about his feelings. While he added Glory as a friend, the other man felt different in some way to the friends he made in the Heretic Demons. "We should just be normal friends. Erm...I can't really name it. It sort of feels weird."

"Weird?"

"I don't know how to interact with them." XiaoYu paused and thought about it. "That is," he added, "I don't know how I should continue the conversation with them."

"Do you feel that there's another meaning hiding within their words? To the point where you don't even dare to answer without thinking hard?"
