He still remembered how many people were in the team and considered them when buying flowers. He didn’t even know the little streamer’s real name and had deceitfully given her the nickname “Sweetheart.”
Thinking of this made Kori feel worse. He unconsciously gripped the medal in his pocket through his coat, warming the cold, metallic piece slightly. However, the pretty little streamer squeezed her way out from beside Lian Zhan and walked over to him, her lips pressed together in a smile. “I forgot to tell you,” she said.
His eyes sparkled, shimmering with emotion. The mask he had worn earlier was long gone, revealing a snow-white, beautiful face unobscured in front of Kori. Her dark and lengthy eyelashes framed her flushed cheeks, and a hint of her wet, red tongue peeked out as she spoke, making her appear radiant.
Her glossy black eyes reflected Kori’s shadow, looking quite serious. Kori found himself holding his breath.
His previously calmed heart began to flutter again, refusing to listen to its owner. He watched as the pretty little streamer pressed her lips together, smiled at him, and said, “You’re amazing! Will I be able to be as good as you in the future?”
Kori heard his heart pounding loudly.
【Ah, the baby is so bad】
【What a poor little puppy, even the flowers brought by his wife are just one each…】
【This water cooler gets great satisfaction; anything his wife brings is shared equally, so thoughtful!】
【Little puppy be like: Excitement—Disappointment—Excitement—Disappointment—Crazy】
【Yikes, Yan Bao is so smooth with her words, she’s so good at deceiving!】
Yan Chuan felt a bit embarrassed saying those words. To hide his nervousness, he glanced down at the clean floor, his gaze somewhat drifting. His words… probably didn’t sound very sincere.
How could a streamer who wanted to improve at gaming not focus on the game itself but instead rely on their teammates for help? Kori, as a professional player, had mocked him in the live broadcast before, drawing a crowd to ridicule him for being such a gaming novice who dragged others down.
Although he had apologized later, Yan Chuan remembered the incident clearly. Now that he had flattered Kori, he shamelessly added if he could also be as impressive… which was indeed the wrong thing to say.
However, the script had given him the task of meeting the top three reward givers in the live stream, and Kori was number two. To “encourage him to continue giving rewards,” he had to please him, right?
Yan Chuan was unsure if his words had reached Kori’s heart. He nervously looked up and stared at Kori. To his surprise, Kori’s face was stern, lips pressed together in what appeared to be extreme nervousness. His brows furrowed as if he had heard something unbelievable.
Yan Chuan was a bit at a loss. He was nervous, but why was Kori reacting this way?
As Yan Chuan pondered, Kori suddenly reached out and pulled him closer. They were already quite close, but Kori used considerable strength, making Yan Chuan nearly collide with him, feeling a painful jab from bones.
His nose brushed against Kori’s shoulder, reddening from the impact. Rubbing his slightly sore nose, Yan Chuan looked up, confused about Kori’s exaggerated reaction to his single comment.
After touching his reddened nose, Yan Chuan heard Kori confidently say in his ear, “I will help you get better at gaming; I will definitely make you stronger.”
Kori gazed steadily at Yan Chuan’s face, punctuating each word with determination.
Yan Chuan:!
He hadn’t meant for Kori to offer to tutor him in gaming; he was just a novice who didn’t need such promises from Kori!
【I wondered why he kept messing up, turns out it’s because he gets silly when he sees his wife, even losing to the nearby tea-stealing guy】
【He listens too much to his wife; he can’t even catch the hint of a polite compliment】
【Silly, yet very good to Yan Bao, quite sincere】
【Just think about how he shouts for his wife to log in to play every day, while she looks at his clueless behavior speechlessly】
After speaking, Kori felt somewhat disappointed. His original intention was to go along with the pretty little streamer’s compliment, but hearing her praise made him elated, causing him to speak without thinking.
Kori regretted speaking at that moment, especially with gaming on his mind. However… leveling up in a game might still count as close contact, right? Kori wondered uncertainly.
Yan Chuan was led by Kori and his group to an amusement center not far from their venue. This place, called an amusement park, was actually a large commercial center with a fully equipped amusement area, surrounded by many buildings and a large crowd.
Even in the afternoon during a workday, there were plenty of people. The streets were bustling with traffic, but it was still rare to see someone like Yan Chuan walking alongside a group of tall young men.
Many who passed by cast their gazes over, some even staring at Yan Chuan rudely, making him feel compelled to pull up his mask. Luckily, once he wore the mask, the glances lessened significantly.
Yan Chuan let out a sigh of relief.
However, surrounded by Kori’s group, which formed an impressive line, they still attracted a lot of attention. Kori, at the forefront, dressed like a delinquent, wore a slightly tilted cap, with his blonde hair dyed platinum, sporting eyebrow piercings, giving off a tough vibe.
Lian Zhan and the others were equally tall and long-legged, forming a large group and squeezing the innocent and pitiful little streamer right in the middle.
What embarrassed Yan Chuan even more was Kori’s occasional questions, asking if he was hungry or thirsty, and upon receiving the answer “a bit tired,” they debated who would carry him.
All Yan Chuan wanted was to quickly return home and avoid the crowd: …
