He even placed his hand on the door handle. He could enter whenever he wanted.

However, until the end, he remained on the spot.

The memories from eight years ago had rushed in, and complex emotions once again flashed through his eyes.

In the end, he lowered his head and gave a bitter laugh.

So what if he said it?

It wasn’t as if he could change anything from eight years ago. It wasn’t as if he could change the fact that she had played him.

He took a deep breath and put his hand down.

Staring at the champion on his phone, he suddenly lost the urge to continue playing.

He exited the game, turned around and entered the study room.

In the master bedroom.

Qiao Lian had accumulated energy and was waiting to utterly defeat him.

Shen Liangchuan’s performance did not really mean much, she was still really powerful!

But… who could’ve told her? What was this?

Her opponent had quit the match?

Her opponent had quit the match!

What the hell!

Was he admitting defeat, knowing that he couldn’t beat her?

She jumped off the bed, directly opened the door and rushed to the study room. At the doorstep, she heard Shen Liangchuan’s voice from the inside of the study room, saying, “Oh, ok.”

He was actually on the phone.

So, had he abandoned the match?

Qiao Lian took two steps backwards and returned to the room.

She patiently waited for him to come back online again, but his phone call seemed to last for a long time. As she was not active on the game, the system had exited the game application for her.

Their competition had ended, as they had stopped playing.

Qiao Lian lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

She didn’t know why, but she suddenly started laughing.

She had suddenly recalled that time that she got stronger thanks to Zi Chuan’s guidance, so she recklessly insisted on challenging him to a one on one.

He was so pestered by her that he had no choice but to start a game.

They both started by killing small monsters in order to level up, and they didn’t attack each other. After a while, she couldn’t take it any longer and provoked him. However, she ended up getting hit by him.

She shouted in the game directly, “Hey, Zi Chuan, how dare you attack me!”

“Didn’t you attack me too?”

“That’s different! I’m a girl and you should go easy on me!”

“… How do we play then?”

Qiao Lian covered her mouth and laughed, “I also don’t know, but I don’t want you to attack me and I don’t want to attack you either. However, when I see you, I can’t resist jumping on you!”

Her honest words made him stop talking for a moment.

Qiao Lian giggled and said, “Don’t tell me that you’re embarrassed.”

“No.”

Qiao Lian started laughing heartily and said, “You’re embarrassed.”

“Woman, why are you so annoying!”

He scolded her, but they didn’t quit the game.

They even worked together to kill a small monster. The match became a joke in the end.

However, the sweeter it had been in the past, the sadder it seemed now.

Zi Chuan had made her fall deeply in love, and then hate him deeply for a long eight years. The hate had been there so long that it was deeply buried in her heart, and she was completely unable to forget it.

As she lay on the bed for some time, she suddenly stuck out her hands and covered her eyes.

After a while, two drops of tears rolled out of the corner of her eyes.

Zi Chuan, why didn’t you appear then?

Why hadn’t he appeared?

Shen Liangchuan, who was in the study room, was standing on the balcony and looking into the distant starry sky, trying to push back memories.

That day, he did go and remained near the cafe for the whole time. He stayed there until the end.
