He sensed his scalp tightened as he turned around to look at Lou Wei, “This…Ermm, I was drunk and I was talking rubbish.” 

Lou Wei placed his hand under his chin and stared at him, “Is it?”

“Of course!” Wen Fan hated that he was unable to open his mouth to talk and could only nod his head to show that he was speaking the truth.

It was a pity that the penguin who stood behind him, out of his view, replaced the wordings on the white board to ‘Speaking the truth after drinking.’

Lou Wei’s gaze went past Wen Fan and he stared at the white board that the penguin was holding. He then went back to stare at Wen Fan with a complex emotion.

Wen Fan sensed President Lou’s gaze. He felt that a sudden burst of light emerged behind his back, it was as if the secret that he kept inside his heart had been discovered. 

Thank goodness Lou Wei didn’t say anything after that but lowered his head and began to capture Wen Fan’s voice source. 

This was the first time that Wen Fan learned that the sound could be recorded separately and different pitches were separated and then re-group together to form a new sound.

Moreover, it didn’t sound electronic at all.

The process of reorganizing the audio took a long time. Wen Fan saw Lou Wei opened one software after another on his computer. The software had filled the computer screen, and most of them were software that he had never seen before.

Wen Fan got dizzy from staring at it and eventually sat on the mobile desktop of Lou Wei’s phone, preparing to play some games. When he was about to click open ‘Honor of Kings’, the camel who took a stroll on the desert wallpaper came back. It was still chewing on the leaves from the ‘Oasis’ as it walked slowly and steadily back to its APP shelf.

The moment the camel was back into its original spot, the desktop wallpaper under Wen Fan’s legs was due for a refresh and it changed back into the forest wallpaper from just now.

The huge crowd of animals came dashing out from the wallpaper and dashed past Wen Fan, heading straight into their respective APP shelves. The few animal’s cries merged together and Wen Fan quickly turned down the volume of the phone.

On the top of the APP shelve, the ‘Youdao Translator’ parrot glared at these groups of ungraceful APPs in disdain. A speech bubble in english with chinese translation appeared next to it, ‘Oh my goodness, for christ sake! You bunch of idiotic APP. How dare you taint my APP shelve using your stinky paws that were covered with muds from the forest! You better watch out! I’ll kick your *ss hard with my toes! Ah! For god sake, I swear I’ll really do it!”

This standard translation tone had led Wen Fan to think that he had travelled back to the early eighties. But the two APPs beside the parrots turned a deaf ear and ran back into their shelves in a flash. They then picked their paws and tamed their fur.

Even the penguin next to Wen Fan fished out a headset from its *ss and placed it over its head.

The translator parrot immediately felt that they were insulting him. It flapped its wings vigorously in anger and as a result they hit on the ‘Perfect Piano’ APP next to it. The piano’s keys were suddenly struck and made a loud sound. Luckily, Wen Fan turned down the phone’s volume just now, otherwise, it would have distracted Lou Wei.

Luckily the parrot was still frightened of the trident in Wen Fan’s hand. He raised the trident which was part of the devil costume and hurled it toward the parrot. The parrot immediately stopped flapping its wings in grief and pouted its mouth as it went back on the APP shelve.

As soon as the ‘Youdau Translator’ parrot went back to its original place, Wen Fan noticed another speech bubble appearing above his head. He turned his head to the side and found that it was the Old Arthur from the ‘Honor of Kings’ logo saying something.

As the only game APP with a human face among all the other APPs,  the stout man with golden hair was blushing. “Life is so boring. There are so many animals with me as the only handsome boy around.”

 Handsome boy…

Wen Fan stared at Old Arthur’s rough face and pouted his lips without saying anything.

The penguin behind him flipped around the white board in his hand and the wording on the board changed. “Narcissist!”

Old Authur, “…”

He coughed lightly and lifted his chin toward Wen Fan. “Hey, I’m so bored being alone. Little Brother, can you download an APP with pretty girls for me?”

Wen Fan “.”

Not waiting for him to speak, Old Arthur said again, “Find me a pretty lady and I’ll give you all the character’s cosmetic skins to your game account!”

“…” When Wen Fan was still a human, he had never thought that there would come a day where he was bribed by a gaming APP. He looked at Old Arthur with a complex emotion.

Old Arthur thought that he was hesitating. He quickly added, “It doesn’t matter if you spend money or not, you will still be able to use all the cosmetic skins. You can have all the heroes and new cosmetic skins. How does it sound?”

Wen Fan felt that Old Arthur was too shallow.

How could he as a human being trade his soul for a few hero’s cosmetic skin and download APP for a game?

…He would!

Two minutes later, Old Arthur stared at the new “Qi Ji Nuan Nuan’ APP that appeared beside him. (T/N: Qi Ji Nuan Nuan is a famous fashion game). Pink bubbles started to appear from his head.

The teenage girl with pink hair was beautiful and elegant. Her pair of eyes sparkled and even if she sat quietly on the APP shelf beside ‘Honor of Kings’, others were able to smell the scent of jasmine flowers.

The old bachelor who had been alone for many years fell in love with her at first sight. He was tongue-tied for a long while before he managed to spit out a sentence, “How, how are you…I’m, erm, I’m from Tenscent.”

He lowered his head shyly after he finished speaking, not daring to look into the girl’s eyes.

Nuan Nuan with pink hair opened her mouth to reply. Her voice was as gentle as how Wen Fan imagined. “That’s such a coincidence, I’m also from Tenscent.”

 

Ch1yo: Yay! BONUS Chapter this week <3

   

The moment Nuan Nuan finished her words, Wen Fan and the penguin noticed that the logo above Old Arthur’s head ‘5V5’ changed to ‘1V1’ the two horns on the ‘V’ alphabet curved inward to form a heart shape that was stuck through by an arrow that was fired from Old Arthur’s chest. 

The air was filled with love.

The two APP stared at each other and the temperature inside the phone was like springtime.

The penguin who stood beside Wen Fan fished out two new packets of ‘single dog’ potato chips. It opened one packet and passed it to Wen Fan while it feasted on the other packet madly. Meanwhile, ‘Net Ease Music’ dragged out the music scores and the white music notes in the APP danced on the scores, playing a love song.

Lou Wei who was still cutting the sound files heard a tune coming out from the mobile phone beside him —

“Let my love be by your side, until forever~ Can you feel it, I’m worried about you~ The moment I look at you, I realized what is fate~ Have you been waiting, for an intimate lover~” 

Lou Wei, “…”

He lowered his head to find Wen Fan with his back facing him with his face tilted up as he stared at the newly downloaded APP with a female icon. The teenage girl turned her head and met with Wen Fan’s gaze. She smiled gently and she was a real beauty.  

Lou Wei didn’t notice that Wen Fan was also holding a packet of ‘single dog food’ but only saw the two of them exchanging glances. The silent man believes in acting before talking. He placed his finger on the screen and moved the APP shelve for games to the last page of the mobile screen and then flipped the desktop back to the first page.

Wen Fan was still waiting for Old Arthur and Nuan Nuan to scatter more dog food. He then realized that the APP shelve for the two games was moved to the last page of the desktop.

The youth turned his head around to give a shocked and confused look at Lou Wei. The man’s voice was low yet attractive. It seemed as if he had done a very small matter that wasn’t even worth mentioning. “Girls like to be left alone. She would be more comfortable staying at the end of the desktop.”

...is that so?

Wen Fan nodded but felt something wasn’t quite right.

But Lou Wei had a serious look on his face. And furthermore, he had no experience getting along with a girl. He for a while, since Arthur and Nuan Nian were moved together, it didn’t break the ambiguous atmosphere. So he didn’t think any further. 

He glanced at Lou Wei with full of trust. 

He had droopy eyes which made him look a lot younger. Moreover, he had large pupils which made him appeared loveable and cute when he stared at others. 

Lou Wei couldn’t hold back but lifted his hand and pressed his index finger on Wen Fan’s head. It was apparent that his fingertip was only touching the cold screen, but it seemed as though he really touched something. A jolt of electric current pass through his fingertip and shot through his palm.

Lou Wei quickly retrieved his hand. Under Wen Fan’s doubtful gaze, he placed his hand behind his back and rubbed his fingers subconsciously without showing any expression.

Wen Fan who suddenly got pat on the head didn’t notice anything strange about Lou Wei. He leaned against the phone screen and stared at the computer outside of the screen and saw the computer’s desktop was scattered with lots of computer software. He tilted his head as he asked Lou Wei, “How’s the sound files going?”

Lou Wei pulled out the sound clips that he arranged just now. “The data was still insufficient as some of the tones were still missing. I still need about one third.”

Wen Fan stared at the sound wave that floated up and down the computer screen and said in a half-understanding manner, “I see.”

Lou Wei responded to him briefly.

He sat in front of the computer but was looking at Wen Fan from the corner of his eyes. The tiny man leaned against the screen and kept staring ahead. His face was squashed flat against the screen with the devil horns on top of his head and the slender devil tail wrapped around his calf.

…He was obviously a grown up, but his appearance was as pure as a child.

Wen Fan’s fringe was poking into his eyes, he lifted his hand to sweep it aside. Lou Wei was startled by his sudden action. He immediately reeled in his gaze and stared at the sound wave displayed on the screen. “There’s still a bit more to go. Do you have any other sound records?”

Wen Fan frowned and tried hard to think about it for a long while. He used Lou Wei’s phone to log-in his QQ account and managed to dig out a few short voice messages from over ten thousands conversation history.

Although that sound clip had better sound quality compared to those in the videos, the words that were spoken were very little. Lou Wei could see Wen Fan’s chat history with others. The conversations were mostly one word only.

It was totally different from what he had imagined.

Lou Wei thought that…Wen Fan was good at socializing and the content of his conversation shouldn’t be this limited.

He gazed at the tiny man on the screen. “You rarely speak?”

Wen Fan nodded.

“How about me?” Lou Wei squinted as he looked at him. He couldn’t understand what made him ask this question. “Do you want to talk to me?”

 As soon as he finished asking, he got a reply from Wen Fan. “Of course.”

“Why?”

“Because Lou Wei is different.”

""

“…”

The youth was wearing a black color devil suit over his fair and translucent skin. The veins underneath his fair skin were very visible. No matter how you look at it, he shouldn’t be a mobile phone system for he was a real human. 

Lou Wei stared at Wen Fan and shifted his gaze on the content of the new speech bubble that appeared on the screen. He felt like every word he saw had turned into a voice, burning the tip of his ears.

He remained emotionless as he thought secretly. He would like it even more if these words were spoken.
