Love O2O (微微一笑很倾城, Just One Smile is Very Alluring) Chapter 2: Wei Wei Kidnaps the Groom?
8 o'clock at night.
The red-clad heroine, carrying a large sword on her back, majestically stands on Chang'an's Zhu Que Bridge.
The bridal sedan has to cross the bridge.
In Meng You Jiang Hu, the wedding can be very sumptuous or very simple. When Wei Wei and ZhenShui married, their wedding was very simple. They just went to Yue Lao for a notary. Back then, everyone was poor, and it was for a quest. There wasn't a need to have a traditional wedding.
But today, ZhenShui's and XiaoYuYaoYao's wedding is sumptuous beyond belief: hundreds of firewords, gongs and drums to clear the way, eight people carrying the bridal sedan, a high-class restaurant reservation for the wedding reception. Rumour has it everyone attending the reception would receive 888[1] gold pieces.
Gamers were gossiping about this wedding long before. After all, XiaoYuYaoYao is popular and ZhenShuiWuXiang isn't unknown either. Apparently, other servers are also excited about this wedding. Some people even created new accounts just to see the wedding.
On Zhu Que bridge, the red-clad heroine continues to stand motionlessly. Her figure looks frail, her expression austere.
At this very moment, the world chat exploded.
{World} [HuaChuiHuaYu (BlowingFlowersRainingFlowers)]: Do you guys see her?! I see ZhenShuiWuXiang's ex-wife standing on Zhu Que Bridge!
{World} [EAiNi (EeyLoveYou)]: sAw h3r. Eey sAw h3r.
{World} [ShangZinQiaoXiaChunBoLu (SpringGreenUnderHearbreakBridge)]: I see her. Sigh, I think her silhouette looks so sorrowful. Sigh this world, we always newlyweds laugh, never see the cast-offs cry.
{World} [DaoCao520 (RiceStraw520)]: A mistress.......when the wife is beautiful......there's no need
{World} [XiaoYuYaoYaoBuYaoLian108 (XiaoYuYaoYaoIsShameless108)]: Heh heh, why are you being so ostentatious. Stealing another person's husband of course means I will come out to play. XiaoYuYaoYao is shamelessisshamelessishamelessishamelessishamelessishameless ￥％％￥※×...... (Vulgar language was blocked by the system)
This "XiaoYuYaoYaoBuYaoLian108" is XiaoYuYaoYao's mortal enemy. No one knows the reason for this deep hatred. Even when nothing is going on, this person will come out to flame a bit. Supposedly, this person was even killed many times, but it just encouraged the flaming. Banning only meant a new character was created. Rumour has it the number at the end of the ID is the amount of times this person was banned.
When this person comes out, XiaoYuYaoYao's groupie can't bear it.
{World} [XiaoYuFeiFei (HeavyLittleRain)]: That shameless person needs to shut up! Also, who says YaoYao is a mistress?! Don't feel so superior. Are you even good enough for YaoYao to be your mistress?!!!
{World} [XiaoYuQingQing (LightLittleRain)]: Whoever wants to steal the groom can try. Don't think since you're on the PK list you're so great. Us XiaoYu clan are all here. We're just scared no one dares try!
{World} [wsn]: A women on the PK list must be extremely ugly! ZhenShui's choice is correct.
After this, the world chat exploded with messages. The masses all ran to Zhu Que Bridge.
Bei Wei Wei comes out of the bathroom and walks toward her computer. She sees this scene: a red-clad heroine is surrounded by a crowd of tightly packed characters. However there seems to be an implicit understanding. An empty ring is left around the heroine, so she stand all alone. Her miserable form stands on the bridge.
The people in the crowd are constantly emitting messages above their heads. The most common one is "Support LuWeiWeiWei's groom kidnapping! Support LuWeiWeiWei's groom kidnapping! Support LuWeiWeiWei's groom kidnapping! Support LuWeiWeiWei's groom kidnapping! Support LuWeiWeiWei's groom kidnapping! Support LuWeiWeiWei's groom kidnapping! Support LuWeiWeiWei's groom kidnapping! Support LuWeiWeiWei's groom kidnapping! Support LuWeiWeiWei's groom kidnapping!"
Wei Wei gapingly stares.
She only signed on, then went to Zhu Que Bridge, then went to the bathroom. It was at most 5 minutes. What happened?
Kidnap the groom?
Yes, the game allows kidnapping newlyweds, but first you have to pay an enormous fee to the system. Second, you have to win 3 consecutive PK rounds. Finally, you have to get the consent of the newlywed you want to kidnap......if they don't, the kidnapping is a failure. That's why asides from those love-stricken, last-gasp attempts only idiots would attempt a kidnapping.
What did Wei Wei do for everyone to mistakenly think she'll kidnap the groom?
Wei Wei gloomily stares at the screen, trying to decide if she fled would the gossips in the crowd think it is because she's heartbroken?
Wei Wei is on one hand deciding to flee or not and on the other clicking the non-stop flood of messages from her friends. All of the messages are asking what's going on. Wei Wei doesn't reply to a single one and closes them. The guild chat is also discussing the matter. Most of the men support ZhenShui. Most of the women support WeiWei. There's also some urging WeiWei not to take it personally; we're all guild members so don't act too rashly.
Then the friend chat flashes again. Wei Wei opens it and sees it's from ZhenShui. He probably is also mad now and angrily says: "What's going on? Yesterday you seemed fine with it, and I gave you compensation. You were the one who rejected it."
Wei Wei cries on the inside. She listlessly replies: "I only came......to......see......the......celebration......"

[1] receive 888 gold pieces.
The number 8 is pronounced "ba", and it sounds like "fa" which means to grow/prosper. A lot of business people like things with the number 8 because it's lucky (business will grow). In fact everyday people like it too. My family wanted to get phone numbers with a lot of 8's in it!
[2] Martian speak again
That's the literal translation. It means internet slang. The original chinese characters used by EAiNi were near impossible to translate. It would be the right word with added strokes or even radicals. As someone not very familiar with chinese, it drove me crazy trying to figure out what the characters are suppose to be. I hope I made the translation an indesipherable, semi-leet speak too!

I'm not sure how to translate this. The original text is 一贱九州寒. If someone knows a better translation, please let me know!

Spores here!
I just got back from my part-time job, so that's why this is posted a little later than usual. I might end up with two part time-jobs or even possibily one full-time job. It all depends on how the interviews go. If I do get another part-time or even full-time, obviously it's going to affect my translations. Even this one part-time is slowing me down. I planned to eventually release two chapters a week, but unless future chapters are shorter, I don't think I can do that. Sorry guys! I'll do my best to keep up with updating once a week for now.
All please let me know if there are any typos. I try to edit over the translations before I post, but today I'm a bit tired. I'll try not to let it be a habit!

{World} [anny]: Although XiaoYuYaoYao is pretty, but I also want to say what she did isn't right. Stealing another's husband and still acting ostentatiously, don't you fear Heaven's wrath.
{World} [PiLiJiaoWa (ThunderCriesWah)]: That's right. LuWeiWeiWei is a very good person. She's really loyal.
{World} [ShangXinQiaoXiaChunBoLu]: Look at LuWei. She's so heartbroken she can't even talk.
