After the game ended, Old Fish couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into laughter, his hefty body shaking with each laugh. “Hahaha… Miss, how did you come up with such cheeky lines? I misjudged you before; I admit this round is my loss!”

Wave, with a gloomy expression, silently closed the game window, clearly unhappy.

Su Heng didn’t respond and, glancing at the time, quietly opened the live streaming website.

After a moment, as if recalling something, she said, “I’m going live now, so don’t make any noise.”

Wave snorted and turned his head away in displeasure, while Old Fish was still clutching his stomach, tears streaming down from laughing so hard.

Zhou Lingxing calmly sat down, thought for a moment about his streaming duration, and soon followed suit by starting his own live stream.

However, unlike Su Heng, he never spoke or turned on the camera during his streams. Despite this, the number of viewers in his stream remained consistently high.

Half of the audience came for his skills, while the other half were drawn by his looks.

Even without turning on the camera, Zhou Lingxing couldn’t stop a wave of fans from fantasizing in his chat.

As soon as Su Heng opened her stream, the chat lit up.
【Is the sister going to take off her mask today?】
【Is the sister going to solo today?】
【Can the sister show us LING today?】

After streaming for a while, Su Heng slowly figured out the audience’s preferences.

She adjusted her camera and said calmly, “No mask off, no solo. If you want to see LING, just take a left outside; he just started his stream too.”

Zhou Lingxing was still wearing headphones and only vaguely heard his name. He lifted his hand to adjust his headphones and turned to the girl. “What?”

Although Zhou Lingxing’s stream had no camera or microphone, Su Heng’s was on.

Hearing the familiar male voice suddenly come from the screen, the audience erupted.
【Ahhhh!!! It’s LING’s voice!】
【Is LING next to you? Sister, show me my idol! I’ll pay a hefty reward!】

Just as this message finished scrolling, Su Heng received a flurry of gifts.

Looking at the continuously increasing number of gifts on the screen, she felt a bit of a headache.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to fulfill the audience’s wishes.

Seeing Zhou Lingxing still looking at her in confusion, the girl clicked the right mouse button, feeling inexplicably guilty. “Shall we duo?”

Zhou Lingxing was surprised but agreed, “Pull me in.”

Upon hearing this, Su Heng minimized the live stream window and quickly invited him into the game.

When she noticed that the man had put his headphones back on and refocused on the computer screen, Su Heng stood up pretending to get some water, carefully blocking the view from the other side. As she turned her fingers, she adjusted the camera direction.

After completing a series of actions, the girl subtly whispered to the audience on the other end of the screen, “Don’t make unreasonable requests if you want there to be a next time.”

Thinking her plan was foolproof, the girl accidentally locked eyes with Zhou Lingxing when she sat back down after turning her head.

Su Heng’s expression stiffened for two seconds, and she forced herself to act nonchalant. “What’s up?”

Zhou Lingxing shifted his gaze to the camera in front of him, his eyes inadvertently showing a hint of a smile. In a low voice that made one feel uneasy, he asked, “There’s a next time?”

Seeing the man’s clearly amused expression, the girl was momentarily taken aback, quickly realizing her little actions had been noticed.

She licked her lips, turned her face away without changing her expression. “What next time? You heard wrong.”

Zhou Lingxing found Su Heng’s actions amusing. “Oh? Did I mishear?”

After saying this, he raised his long index finger and gestured towards the camera.

Seeing that she couldn’t hide it anymore, Su Heng immediately reached out to adjust the camera back and, with a calm face and steady heart, pretended, “Who touched my computer? Why is the camera crooked?”

Watching the girl’s clumsy acting, Zhou Lingxing couldn’t help but cover his mouth and chuckle.

He hadn’t expected her to be so cute.

Su Heng caught a glimpse of the man’s slightly awkward expression, and her cheeks under the mask secretly flushed red.

As the saying goes, “If you often walk by the river, you’re bound to get your shoes wet.” But why did she get soaked to the bone the first time she passed by the river?

Although the audience only saw Zhou Lingxing for a few seconds, they were all quite satisfied with the performance that followed.

[Ahhhh, Ling God is so handsome!]

[Oh my, Ling is simply a walking hormone!]

[It’s time to lick the screen!]

[Hahaha, the girl was discovered just like that? Caught off guard?]

[Shouldn’t Ling God say it’s hard to guard against it? 23333]

[MD, my idol’s voice is so charming! Is there going to be another time? Hahaha, of course!]

[66666, the girl’s performance is good; she can debut now!]

[Hahaha, who touched my computer? Who is it??]

[The girl usually looks pretty smart; why did she suddenly turn so adorably clumsy at such a critical moment?]

[Sleeping must be thinking at this moment: wqnmlgb hahaha]

[Feeling sorry for the girl a bit.]

[Feeling sorry 1]

Throughout the day until the live broadcast ended, Su Heng didn’t glance at the person next to her again, while Zhou Lingxing occasionally stole glances at her.

Not only did he glance, but he also couldn’t help but chuckle a few times.

Su Heng felt uncomfortable all over and hurriedly ended the live broadcast to go upstairs and prepare for bed.

But once she lay down, she couldn’t sleep no matter what.

It was almost unheard of for her not to be able to sleep; even she was surprised that the person rolling around in bed, feeling bored, was herself.

Half an hour later, she gave up on the idea of sleeping, rolled over, and took out her phone to start scrolling through Weibo.

As soon as she opened Weibo, various messages mentioning her popped up, overwhelming her.

She clicked on the first message and found it was a screenshot of the chat from the duo match she had played with Wave today.

She scrolled down a few comments, all expressing “feeling sorry for Wave.”

The sheer number left her speechless.

The girl chuckled, clearly not expecting her casual words to matter so much to so many people.

Suddenly, she saw a comment that revealed an unusually familiar tone.

SLZ Xiao Xin: [Sister, let’s follow each other~ Brothers, push me up! I won’t forget this favor!]

Su Heng laughed and clicked on the boy’s profile to follow him.

She then clicked back to her Weibo homepage.

Aside from two lonely live broadcast notifications and a leave request, there was nothing else.

Su Heng thought for a moment and slowly started typing.

[Actually, I really believe in my teammate, even if he didn’t get any kills the whole game.]

Within seconds of sending, comments began to pour in below.

The girl eagerly scrolled through a few but found that the audience who had just watched the live broadcast rushed in with their comments.

[So which lunatic touched your computer, sister!!]

[Maybe your computer can automatically search for the most good-looking direction, hahahaha.]

[Confessing to the sister; her acting is on par with that of an award-winning actress!]

Su Heng felt a bit embarrassed, just as she was about to reply to a few comments, a WeChat message suddenly came in at the top of the screen.

With a slight shake of her hand, she clicked on it; it was the discussion group for the five members of GI.

Old Fish: [@Sister Su Heng, are you still awake?]

Su Heng: [No, I’m scrolling through Weibo.]

Old Fish: [Want to go out for a late-night snack? Ling Ge is treating!]

Images of Zhou Lingxing teasing her flashed in her mind, and Su Heng immediately declined: [You guys go ahead; I’m getting ready to sleep.]

Wave: [You’re the only one who always likes to be special and not group-oriented.]

The girl was momentarily taken aback; what was wrong with this guy?

Clearly, she had just clashed with him during the day, but his words clearly meant he wanted her to go?

Sun He: [Let’s go together; you’re not asleep anyway. If you get sleepy later, just come back.]

Xiao Ban: [Yeah, yeah, sister, let’s go~ I don’t want to have a late-night snack with this group of big guys!!]

Old Fish Wave Sun He: [????????]

Zhou Lingxing: [@Xiao Ban, then you don’t come.]

Su Heng smirked: [Wait for me to change my clothes.]

What they called a midnight snack was really just dinner. After all, apart from Su Heng, no one in the team had a normal schedule; strictly speaking, even Su Heng could hardly be considered normal.

As the night grew cold and the dew thickened, the few of them quickly decided to have hotpot. The six of them split into two cars, and the parking lot was a bit far away. Lao Yu and the others were quick to grab a spot, leaving only Su Heng and Zhou Lingxing silently watching a taxi drive away.

Zhou Lingxing glanced at Su Heng and walked toward the parking lot. Su Heng silently followed, feeling a headache. Why did she agree to come out for a midnight snack?

The ride was quiet, with the man driving very steadily, making it so comfortable that Su Heng almost fell asleep. The girl struggled to keep her eyes open and took out her phone, planning to play a couple of games to stave off drowsiness.

Just as she opened a game, Zhou Lingxing’s deep voice came from beside her, “Don’t play games in the car; it’s easy to get carsick.”

Su Heng silently locked her screen and said, “It’s too quiet; I’m a bit sleepy.”

As soon as she said it, she regretted it, hoping he wouldn’t think she wanted to chat with him.

After a moment of silence, the man reached out and turned on the speakers. A slightly vintage female voice poured out, breaking the quiet atmosphere in the car.

Su Heng was a bit surprised to hear the familiar French duet and looked at the man, “On S’Aimera Quand Meme?”

Zhou Lingxing raised an eyebrow, “Have you heard it before?”

The girl nodded, “Yeah.” Her expression softened considerably.

Long ago, that person had played it for her. Just once, and she fell in love with this song. But that person soon forgot about it, moving on to someone new.

Seeing that the girl had nothing more to say, Zhou Lingxing fell silent again and drove quietly. It seemed that the car’s CD only had this one song, playing over and over, the ethereal French female voice echoing in the car again and again.

After a long while, the girl suppressed her memories and turned to observe the increasingly mysterious man beside her. It seemed that the more time she spent with him, the more new stories she could discover about him.

Su Heng suddenly grew curious about what kind of person he really was. This man might be like a thick book, impossible to finish reading, and never boring to look at. At that moment, she felt an unfamiliar flutter in her heart.

She wanted to openly flip through this book, boldly savoring it, finally wiping away the parting and sadness within it, leaving only the carefree flow of clouds.

When did it start? Perhaps it was during their first meeting.

People often say that love at first sight is too superficial, but without that surface, who would pay attention to your inner self?

She unraveled those unashamed ambitions that had yet to be presented to the world.

She was not a kind person, and she indeed felt attracted to him because of his looks.
