Qiao Lian wasn’t going to admit defeat and thus, she tried again!

And this time, before she could even go near Zi Chuan, she was killed by him.

And she tried again!

But when she revived, she was once again killed.

The cycle lasted until the end of the game. Qiao Lian did not kill any monsters and never got any coins. She had been seeking for death for the whole match.

When she counted, she had actually died nine times!

Qiao Lian tapped her head and started a new match. The teams were once again randomly assigned.

After entering the group, while she was quietly waiting for the players to enter, she suddenly realized that Zi Chuan had entered the same group. Furthermore, he was in the same team as her!

Qiao Lian immediately greeted him in the group chat:

Xiao Qiao: Hi, Zi Chuan, you played really well in the previous match!

Little did she expect he would quit the group right after she said so.

Qiao Lian: …

She searched for his account and sent him a friend request.

However, even after a long time he did not accept it.

Qiao Lian then sent him a message:

Xiao Qiao: Zi Chuan, why did you leave?

She only received a reply from him after a whole 5 minutes.

Zi Chuan’s answer was straight to the point:

Zi Chuan: I don’t want to be in the same team as an idiot.

Qiao Lian: …!!

——

Qiao Lian stared at her phone and burst into laughter.

That was their first conversation.

His words angered the energetic and outstanding girl.

When she recalled the crazy actions she had taken then, Qiao Lian couldn’t help but cover her face in embarrassment. Now that she thought about it, she had been really retarded then.

She flipped her body over and stared at the lamp hanging from the ceiling. It pulled her back to reality and the smile on her face slowly disappeared.

The sweeter her memories were, the sadder the present seemed to be.

She hadn’t had affinity with Zi Chuan on their first encounter, which showed that this first love of hers was not meant to be.

Her eyelids dropped as she shook her head, stopping herself from thinking further. She was afraid of falling back into the loneliness she had been in eight years ago.

She took a deep breath and looked at her computer, realizing that the video had been already sent to Chuanliu Buxi.

On WeChat, Chuanliu Buxi sent her a message:

Chuanliu Buxi: This actually isn’t enough to show Wang Wenhao’s hatred for Best Actor Shen. I wished we had more direct ways to show it.

When Qiao Lian saw her message, her eyes dimmed.

She obviously had a more direct video, but it wasn’t the time for it to meet the public yet.

She threw her phone to her side and feel asleep with her body splattered on the bed.

In the neighboring master bedroom.

Shen Liangchuan had not gone to sleep.

While he was holding his phone and surfing Weibo, he suddenly saw a video published by Chuanliu Buxi.

He opened the video and his lips curved into a smile after he finished watching it.

Lying on his arm, he laid onto the bed, but he wasn’t able to fall asleep.

He then decided to leave the bed and check out the other room.

As he carefully opened the room door, he realized that the woman had fallen asleep.

Shen Liangchuan’s gaze darkened when he saw that she hadn’t covered herself. It had been so many years, but she still hadn’t learnt to take care of herself.

He walked over, picked up the blanket and covered her with it. When he was about to move her laptop aside, he was stunned the moment he saw what was on the screen.

He turned his head and stared at the girl on the bed. His eyes were full of emotions.

She had said that she had work to do… So, she had been busily working on this video?

Suddenly, warmth and impulse rushed into his heart.

He got onto the bed and laid on top of her. Just as she dazedly opened her eyes, he suddenly asked, “Xiao Qiao, why are you treating me so well?”
