I cried and pounced on Ding Zaihe, his broad and steady shoulders.

"Ding Zaihe, I thought you were playing hide-and-seek with me. I thought you didn't want me anymore! I thought you..."

I thought you were dead.

Then I would truly be alone in this world, becoming an orphan.

My snot and tears

soaked his clothes, and Ding Zaihe pushed me away in disgust.

"As a girl, can't you be a bit more tidy? Haven't I taught you that?"

At that moment, the sound of a broadcast notification rang out, and Ding Zaihe and I became champions.

We stood on the award podium, supported by the crowd, while the wealthy people on the top floor cheered and rewarded us.

After all, in the previous game, no one had ever achieved 16 kills like Ding Zaihe did, all by himself.

"Ding Zaihe, I never knew you were so handsome when you were young."

"You're just realizing that? If you inherited one-third of my looks, you wouldn't be like this."
