A great joy filled my heart.
"We did it!" I exclaimed, looking at Yi Jian Han.
He turned around, meeting my gaze. Even through the virtual image, I felt as if I could see a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Yes, we succeeded," he replied, his voice carrying a hint of relief. "You did very well."
This was the second time he had directly affirmed me like this.
My heart felt like a small stone had been thrown into it, creating ripples that spread outwards.
Just then, he suddenly spoke up, "By the way, I still don’t know your name."
"Huh?" I was taken aback. "Isn't my ID Xing Chen Yue Luo?"
"I meant your real name."
My real name?
My heart skipped a beat.
Was he… asking for my true name?
After playing games for so long, especially in a large online game like Tales of the Spirit Realm, everyone usually referred to each other by their IDs. It was rare for someone to ask for another's real name unless they were very close friends.
Were Yi Jian Han and I… close?
It seemed so. At least in the game, we had become quite the tacit teammates and technical exchange partners.
But when it came to reality, I hesitated a bit. I had always kept my online world and real life separate.
"What's wrong? Is it inconvenient to say?" His voice held no discernible emotion as he noticed my silence.
"N-no..." I steadied myself, realizing there was really nothing to hide; even Zhao Qian and the others knew my true name. Moreover, since he had asked so openly, refusing might come off as unfriendly.
"My name is Lin Wanxing. 'Wan' as in evening, 'xing' as in starry sky." I stated my name, my voice unconsciously softening.
"Lin Wanxing..." He seemed to be savoring the name before finally saying after a few seconds, "That's a beautiful name."
My cheeks flushed uncontrollably again. Being complimented on my name, especially by someone like him, felt different.
"Thank you. So… what about you?" I gathered my courage and asked back. Although I knew he might not share it, curiosity got the better of me.
He fell silent for a moment.
Just when I thought he wouldn't respond, he slowly spoke, "Gu Yu. The 'Gu' from 'Yan Gu,' and the 'Yu' from 'Shan Dao Song Zhi.'"
Gu Yu...
I silently repeated the name in my mind. Simple, clean, and carrying a sense of stability like mountains and rivers, much like the impression he gave.
"Gu... senior Gu?" A thought suddenly flashed through my mind, causing me to blurt it out.
With the surname Gu and being a prominent figure at A University... could it be...
Is he?!
The legendary senior—Gu Yu—who is known throughout our computer science department and even the entire school?!
The one who is two years ahead of me, won a gold medal in a national programming competition, participated in a national key laboratory project during his sophomore year, and even co-founded an AI technology company with a few friends in his junior year, which is said to have caught the attention of several top venture capitalists, and... rumored to be extremely handsome... Gu Yu Senior?!
My brain instantly short-circuited.
No way! What a coincidence!
The number one player in the game, Yi Jian Han, turns out to be the legendary figure at our school, Gu Yu Senior?!
This... is even more bizarre than a game plot!
"You... know me?" This time it was Gu Yu... no, Gu Yu Senior. His voice seemed to carry a hint of barely perceptible surprise.
