Chapter 345
Sacrifice-oriented… Did she mean he was playing like a suicide squad?
Felix compared his stats with Pearl’s. He had died twice while Pearl, not only the MVP, hadn’t died even once. She was truly a gaming deity.
It had been a while since Felix faced an opponent so evenly matched, even surpassing him, which filled his heart with a thrilling sense of challenge and an overwhelming admiration. “Okay, I’m out.” Pearl didn’t want to stay too long. Richard was waiting outside, and if she lingered, he wouldn’t be pleased.
“Pearl, why don’t you stay at the club for a couple of days? We have everything here, and we’ll make sure you’re comfortable.” Birdsof Prey wasn’t willing to let her go so easily.
Pearl shook her head. “My boyfriend is still waiting for me outside, and I have to go home…” “No need to go home! We can arrange everything for your boyfriend too. Can’t you stay?” Seeing their persistence, Pearl felt puzzled. “Why do you insist on me staying here? It should be enough if I were here for the team match, right?”
“Well, there are many young and spirited kids in our club. We need you to put them in their place.” RadishX smirked mischievously.
Pearl’s mouth twitched, finding their behavior inexplicably childish.
“Alright, enough teasing. We realize there are aspects of our play that need adjusting to sync with you. Our win rate will be higher if we coordinate effectively with your style.”
“Fine, I’ll stay, but only until after this team match,” Pearl reluctantly agreed.
Seeing her finally relenting, Felix also felt relieved. “Great, let’s continue training.”
The five of them resumed their relentless training.
As the night’s lights began to shine, Pearl, feeling tired, stretched. “I’m done. I’m exhausted.”
Suddenly, she remembered that Richard was still waiting outside and widened her eyes in shock. “Oh no! I forgot about Richard!”
Pearl took off her headphones and walked out. She immediately spotted Richard sitting alone on the couch, supporting his head with one hand, seemingly dozing off.
‘Huh, even while sleeping, he’s so attractive.’
Pearl shook her head, trying to dispel the whimsical thoughts in her mind, and leaned in to look at his face.
“Richard,” Pearl softly called out, intending to poke his face with her finger, but the person in front of her instantly opened his eyes.
In the dark night, those pitch-black eyes sparkled with an inexplicable light. When she gazed into them, they held an enchanting allure, pulling her into their depths.
Pearl’s hand was unexpectedly grasped, and before she could respond, she found herself wrapped in his embrace.
“Richard, you weren’t asleep?”
“I dozed off for a bit. You were gone for quite some time. Had to catch a bit of shut-eye to make it through.” Richard’s voice was faintly hoarse, evidence of his recent nap.
Feeling guilty, Pearl said, “I’m sorry, I lost track of time while training.”
“Don’t apologize. Say ‘I love you’ instead,” Richard murmured in Pearl’s ear.
For a moment, Pearl was stunned, surprised by the sudden affection. She looked up in amazement, but immediately, Richard’s l*ps sealed hers in a passionate k*ss, carrying both aggression and his unique tenderness.
In a corner, the other four people shivered, not daring to go out.
“Isn’t this a bit inappropriate for minors?”
“Shut up! Your voice is too loud. We might get caught!”
The four of them engaged in a playful banter. As they raised their heads to peek again, the pair previously locked in a passionate k*ss suddenly stood before them, particularly Pearl, whose smile seemed uncannily eerie.
“Do
you think I’ll gouge out your eyes?”
