A Smile So Alluring Chapter 4

Author

note: for femboys I will use wife / sister-in-law/ female terms

🖤

Since the decision to get married is already made, then everyone is considered to be acquaintances

Taehyung [ReedWeiWei]

Sigh, this sentence’s logic seems a bit weird… 💭

Thus, during the following two days Taehyung goes along with ASmileNaiHe and even joins ASmileNaiHe’s regular party.

NaiHe’s party also consists of all masters. A couple of them have PKed with Taehyung before, but he only knows them by their IDs anyway.

The first time Taehyung meets up with them is like this

[ MonkeyWine: “Hoho, new person" ]

[ YuGongClimbsAMountain: “NaiHe, who is this?” ]

ASmileNaiHe🐰

[My fiancee]

He says it quite naturally. Taehyung becomes speechless for a bit, and then types out a smiley face

Taehyung [ReedWeiWei]

[Hi, everyone ^_^]

[ MoZhaHim (Don’tHitHim): “Wow, third sister-in-law. ]

[ YuGongClimbsAMountain: “Bull, the ten thousand year bachelor is also going to get married. ]

Everyone starts talking at once, teasing them and congratulating them. Suddenly, someone says

[Third sister-in-law’s ID is a bit familiar.]

[ Now that you say it, I also think so. Is third sister-in-law on the leaderboards?]

Frank and outspoken, MonkeyWine says

[ MonkeyWine: “I remember now. Isn’t ReedWeiWei, RealWaterIsScentless’ ex-wife?”]

The party immediately became quiet and the atmosphere became a bit odd.

Just as Taehyung is about to say that they are getting married because of the PK competition, he sees NaiHe, very flatly type out a line

ASmileNaiHe🐰

[Mmm, your third sister-in-law actually married the wrong person before. Don’t discriminate against him, everyone.]

Taehyung is choked by his potato chip.

Since then, Taehyung is aware of one thing — when battling monsters or doing quests with brother NaiHe, never, ever, eat snacks or drink water.

Otherwise, as soon as he says something astonishing, it’s either Taehyung being choked or the monitor being sprayed.

To kill bosses and complete quests with this group of people is really enjoyable.

First of all, everyone gets along with each other. Secondly, their efficiency is really high.

Before, when Taehyung and people in his guild created parties, they took a really long time to kill the boss.

Now, in a short time, it is done.

Speaking of this, ASmileNaiHe needs to be mentioned. His profession is that of a (Stringed Instrument) Musician.

The Musician profession in “Dream Voyage in Rivers and Lakes” is a bit awkward.

They are those who can do a bit of everything, but are not experts at anything.

Simply put, he can cut, can perform AoE (Area of Effect aka multiple target) attacks, can assist attacks, and can heal.

But his attacks are not as good as a Swordsman, his assists and healing are not as good as specialized support characters. Honestly, they are weak and of little value.

But with Great Master NaiHe, it is different

Great Master Naihe’s healing ability is not the least inferior compared to a specialized healer.

And he has great speed and accuracy in his APM (actions per minute), none of his teammates have a need to worry, nor do they have to look after him.

Once, when the boss they were fighting was close to dying, ASmileNaiHe, who had been playing the healer position, suddenly took out a sword from the middle of his guqin and, using the Sword Within the Guqin pierced the boss with a fatal blow.

Atop the boss’s head huge red words appeared, and then with a loud bang, it fell to the ground.

The Sword Within the Guqin is the Musician’s only attack ability.

Taehyung had seen it many times before, but had never seen it do so much damage before.

It was almost as powerful as his. Taehyung was jealous almost to the point of tears.

Taehyung [ReedWeiWei]

It must be his equipment that was too powerful, Ah Ah Ah! 💭

With this as precedent, when Taehyung sees ASmileNaiHe’s pet for the first time, he already can’t figure out what to think

NaiHe’s pet is a white kitten.

Taehyung's pet is an impressive tiger

When a tiger can’t even beat a kitten, how can Taehyung know what to think.

In contrast, NaiHe, after carefully looking over Taehyung's’s pet for a long time, typed:

ASmileNaiHe🐰

[After we get married, our pets can also get married.]

Pets getting married is another feature in “Dream Voyage in Rivers and Lakes” that is different from other online games.

After a male and female player gets married, if their pets are of the same breed, the pets can also get married and gain a small ability.

It is said that after certain conditions are met, they can even produce an offspring.

Taehyung [ReedWeiWei]

[But they aren’t the same breed.]

ASmileNaiHe🐰

[Mine is an amorphous cub.]

Taehyung [ReedWeiWei]

So this kitten is also a tiger. 💭

Taehyung [ReedWeiWei]

No wonder it has “King” (王) written on its forehead. 💭

Taehyung finally finds back a bit of self-esteem.

Taehyung [ReedWeiWei]

A tiger losing to a tiger doesn’t count as too embarrassing. 💭

Taehyung [ReedWeiWei]

[Okay, okay, let them get married.]

Taehyung happily says.

NaiHe's kitten is a spirit pet while Taehyung's is just an ordinary tiger he caught himself.

No matter how you look at it, Tae's tiger is climbing up the ladder.

Taehyung casually asks

Taehyung [ReedWeiWei]

[Is your kitten female?]

ASmileNaiHe🐰

[ No. Male]

Taehyung [ReedWeiWei]

[…My tiger is also male]

Taehyung becomes dejected. As expected, it’s hard for a spirit pet to take a wife.

🖤

The day of their wedding is a Saturday.

In the morning, Taehyung went to self-study at the library, as usual.

Speaking of this, classmate Taehyung is still very hardworking.

He can’t not be hardworking.

At this kind of school, in this Computer Science kind of department, which student isn’t smart?

Just falling behind a little means taking a beating on your grade.

After studying until 4 in the afternoon, Taehyung is a bit restless and keeps on looking at his watch.

At 5, Taehyung rapidly packs up his books and rushes towards the dining hall.

After eating dinner, he returns to the dorm room and goes online.

ASmileNaiHe is still not on.

The names of the other members of the party are also dim.

Leveling up manic, Kim Taehyung, carries his large saber to go kill monsters.

Just as he is happily killing, his roommates come back.

Taehyung’s dorm room is a four person room.

Besides Taehyung, there lives Ji-Eun, Lisa, and Jimin, all a part of the Computer Science department.

And the four of them are the only four sophomore female / femboys in the Computer Science department.

Lisa (Tae's bff)

Taetae, stop playing.

Lisa (Tae's bff)

It’s almost 6, our department’s basketball team is going against biochemistry department’s team.

Lisa (Tae's bff)

Let’s go see it together

Lisa says as she changes her clothes.

Taehyung shakes his head as he kills monsters

Taehyung [ReedWeiWei]

You guys go, I’m busy today

Lisa (Tae's bff)

Stop it, what can you be busy with. Isn’t it just playing the game? Let’s go, Mingyu says that Jeon Jungkook will be coming.

Jimin (Tae's bff)

Oh! Really? Jungkook!

Ji-Eun (Tae's bff)

Oh! Really? Jungkook!

Jimin and Ji-Eun both shout together.

Taehyung’s eyes also sparkle as he turns his head.

Even though this is the effect Lisa wanted, when she sees her roommates being like that

Lisa (Tae's bff)

I can’t stand you guys anymore. So obsessed (with pretty/handsome men).

Lisa (Tae's bff)

Look at Taehyung, so calm.

Taehyung quickly raises his hand

Taehyung [ReedWeiWei]

Don’t wrong me, I am also obsessed.

Honestly, the four of them are already considered the type who really doesn’t become obsessed.

But there is always someone in the world who will make people who don’t obsess over them seem strange.

For example, Jeon Jungkook.

Jeon Jungkook of the Computer Science department. University A’s finest, prominent person.

If University A has leaderboards like in games, then Jungkook’s rank is definitely expected to be number 1.

Not even considering his shocking talent at writing computer software, in his more than three years here, he has led a team to obtain glory for their school at the ACM and other international programming competitions..

He is also an expert at guzheng and Go.

And took gold for the school in swimming, and more.

No one has hope of catching up to him. In addition, his looks are also elegant and refined, completely svelte and handsome.

It’s hard for anyone not to admire him

But as much as they obsess over him, no girl in the department dares to go up and strike a conversation with him.

One part, is because he doesn’t come to the school very often, even though they are in the same department, they don’t know him well.

The other is that he really stands in an extremely high place and is truly too arrogant.

His expression holds a sense of there being no one else but him, so people don’t dare to get close.

Taehyung has only seen him a few times from far away.

One time, Taehyung saw him reject a girl from another department.

That girl stopped him and handed him something like a letter. It was probably a love letter.

But that person, not only didn’t take the letter, his eyes didn’t even glance at it and walked past without slowing down.

The strange part is that, even though he is that arrogant, his popularity with the guys isn’t bad.

All the guys in the department are very accepting of him.

It is said that Jungkook has already started a company on the outside, a long time ago. Many experts in the department are scouted by him.

There are many more legends like this about Jungkook.

A lot of them are even spread from the professors’ side because his parents are professors in the history and archaeology departments.

It’s said that Jungkook’s parents are both old-fashioned and are aloof from politics and material pursuits.

But the genes changed once it got to Jungkook.

In junior high, Jungkook knew to find his relatives for a joint venture in opening an internet cafe.

At the time, computers weren’t very popular. It was the best time to be in the internet cafe business.

There is also a legend that he made a huge profit in the housing and stock markets. These stories come one after another and no one knows what is real

Being a small fry in the Computer Science department, Taehyung, of course, is also a part of the Great Master worshipers.

There are a few really good software programs on his computer that the Great Master wrote during free time in N year.

Great Master is a senior this year, and Tae will definitely not see him at school in the future.

Taehyung looks at the game — ASmileNaiHe’s avatar is still dim.

Then he looks at the time, 5:40.

Taehyung makes a quick decision and turns off his computer, rushing towards the basketball court with his friends.

When they arrive at the basketball court, there is already a hubbub.

Lisa’s boyfriend, Mingyu stands at the doors to meet them and takes them to reserved seats.

Lisa looks around as she walks and says

Lisa (Tae's bff)

Mingyu, where’s Jungkook? Didn’t you say he will be going to court?

Mingyu is dissatisfied

Mingyu (Lisa's BF)

Are you here to see me or Jungkook?

Mingyu is the Computer Science department’s basketball team’s main rear guard.

Lisa scorns him

Lisa (Tae's bff)

Of course, to see Jungkook. What is there to see about you?

The other three nod together angering Mingyu.

He is dejected for a long time before saying

Mingyu (Lisa's BF)

Jungkook will definitely not play. I’m not sure whether or not he will come. It seems like something came up.

They suddenly become disappointed. If their eyes were shining with 100 watts of light, there are probably only 10 watts left.

But it is still okay, the exciting atmosphere in the basketball court quickly allows them to quickly become excited again

Just as the game is about to begin, a tall guy wearing the Computer Science department’s basketball jersey walks in front of them.

To be precise, he walks in front of Taehyung. With his head down, he seems as if he wants to speak but can’t. His ears are already red.

In their mind, Lisa and others are already thinking of three words — Here comes another

Indeed, after being embarrassed for a while, the tall and strong boy says, while stuttering

Senior Taehyung , if we win, can I treat you to a meal?

Taehyung replies with a question

Taehyung [ReedWeiWei]

Will you lose?

Of course not!

The boy raises his head sharply.

Taehyung [ReedWeiWei]

Then, do your best!

Taehyung shows a slight smile in the loving manner of an elder, encouraging the younger male student as an senior fellow student (?).

Ok! Senior! I will definitely win!

The younger male student, with his morale boosted, runs onto the court, carrying the ball, to warm up.

Ji-Eun (Tae's bff)

....

Lisa (Tae's bff)

....

Jimin (Tae's bff)

.....

Above are Ji-Eun, Lisa, and Jimin’s heartbeats.

Jimin (Tae's bff)

This younger male student is really easy to trick

Ji-Eun (Tae's bff)

I hate this kind of immature kids who use the win of a game to threaten others.

Ji-Eun (Tae's bff)

If Taehyung rejected him and they lose, Taehyung will be blamed.

Lisa (Tae's bff)

Our Taetae’s method of rejection has become more and more awesome!

Taehyung laughs with two hehe sounds and feigns modesty

Taehyung [ReedWeiWei]

I can’t help it, after so many times, it comes with practice

After that, someone was definitely beaten for being a perfect embodiment of annoying.
