"I'll log off now. Bye," Xie Zhou said in the team voice chat.
After saying goodbye to Yu Nian, he was about to leave the team, but hesitated when his gaze fell on the avatar frame beside his own.
He had never expected to team up with Pei Zhengdu tonight.
Still, perhaps it was just a coincidence.
Pei Zhengdu seemed to get along well with Yu Nian. A collaboration between a professional esports player and a famous gaming streamer was a treat for both their fan bases.
He had simply tagged along.
Pei Zhengdu had probably only struck up a conversation with him in the game to keep things from getting awkward.
But there probably wouldn't be another chance after this.
Xie Zhou took a deep breath and clicked Leave.
He stared at the flashy game screen in silence for a while. There seemed to be nothing left to do, yet he lingered without closing the game.
A red notification dot suddenly appeared on his inbox. Xie Zhou opened it, and his heart skipped a beat.
[TCG-Canoe has requested to add you as a friend.]
Xie Zhou's lashes trembled. His fingertip hovered over Reject for two seconds, but he couldn't bring himself to press it.
He was so bad at the game. Why would Pei Zhengdu want to add him?
Had he recognized him?
No. If that was the case, it would be even harder to keep himself in check.
But wasn't this his only chance to get in touch with him?
Hadn't he deliberately given him that little charm because some part of him still hoped the other man might remember him?
As he wavered, Xie Zhou realized he had already clicked Accept without thinking.
