His mind was filled with the scenes of the last moment of the game, 97's recklessness, Demo's indecision, one's timidity... Every scene was like a sharp knife, cutting his heart repeatedly.

He irritably peeled a mint and put it in his mouth. The candy crunched between his teeth, as if mocking his incompetence.

He walked aimlessly, the neon lights on the roadside flashing colorful lights, but they were particularly dazzling in his eyes. He suddenly thought of the girl who bumped into him in the Internet cafe.

Her clear and bright eyes, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, caused ripples in his restless heart.

He cursed again. What on earth was he thinking? How could a girl whose name he didn't even know make him still obsessed with her after he lost the game?

He quickened his pace, trying to get rid of the girl in his mind, but found that she was like a stubborn virus, constantly replicating and spreading in his mind.

Han Shangyan walked into a brightly lit Internet cafe and opened a machine at the front desk for the entire night.

The smoke-filled internet cafe, the air mixed with the smell of instant noodles and cheap cigarettes, made Han Shangyan's stomach churn. He tugged at his collar irritably. Only these little brats could stay in this damn place.

He turned on a machine and sat in a corner. In the dim light, his stern face looked even gloomier.

Tong Nian sat in a corner not far from Han Shangyan, her heart beating like a drum. When he turned on the computer just now, she fell in love with him. This man looked like he came out of a comic book, cold and sharp, exuding a cold aura that kept strangers away, but he was also damn charming.

She looked at him furtively, wishing she could glue her eyes to him. His slender fingers danced on the keyboard, and the light from the screen shone on his face, outlining his sharp features. Tong Nian was mesmerized, as if the whole world had disappeared, leaving only him and her, forming a strange yet harmonious picture in this noisy Internet cafe.

"Niannian! Save my life!" Chu Hua pushed open the glass door of the Internet cafe. A wave of heat mixed with the smell of instant noodles and cigarettes hit her in the face, almost making her vomit.

She glanced around in panic and immediately saw Tong Nian sitting upright in the corner, and rushed over as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Tong Nian was secretly observing Han Shangyan not far away, and was suddenly startled by Chu Hua, and almost fell off the chair. "My aunt, what's wrong with you? It's like you're fleeing."

"I played for too long today and can't go back to school..." Chu Hua looked at Tong Nian pitifully, with signals for help flashing in her eyes.

Tong Nian sighed helplessly. This girl was really a worry. "So? What do you want to do?"

"Please take me in for one night!" Chu Huan hugged Tong Nian's arm and shook it like a spoiled child.

"Good Nian Nian, just help me! I promise, just for one night!"

Han Shangyan heard the familiar voice and raised his head suddenly, like a dormant cheetah suddenly discovering its prey. In the dim light of the Internet cafe, he immediately locked onto the figure that haunted him.

She is still the same, irritable, like a kitten with its fur standing on end.

He subconsciously wanted to get up, but he forced himself to hold it back. The shadow of losing the game once again enveloped his heart, making him feel so embarrassed that he had no face to see her.

He scratched his hair irritably and buried himself deeper into the shadows.

"Just one night!" Chu Hua's voice came again, with a hint of coquettishness. Han Shangyan's heart suddenly shrank. This girl was quite good at coquettishness to other women.

He thought sourly, if she acted like a spoiled child towards him... He shook his head violently, driving this dangerous thought out of his mind.

"Okay, just one night." Tong Nian agreed reluctantly.

Han Shangyan looked at Chu Hua hanging on Tong Nian like a koala, and a nameless anger rose in his heart for no apparent reason.

He snorted coldly and turned his attention back to the computer screen, only to find that the codes on the screen had turned into the little girl's bright smiling face in his eyes.

"Niannian, you're so nice!" Chu Hua jumped up excitedly, hugged Tong Nian, and kissed her hard on the face, leaving a bright red lip mark.

Han Shangyan's eyes became even colder, like two poisoned ice knives, wishing to torture Chu Huan who was hanging on Tong Nian to death. Does this girl really need someone to hold her?

He slammed the mouse onto the table, making a loud noise that was particularly abrupt in this noisy Internet cafe. Chu Hua was startled and finally got off Tong Nian, looking in the direction of Han Shangyan with some confusion.

Han Shangyan thought the little girl recognized him, but Chu Huan just blinked blankly and turned to look at Tong Nian.

"Niannian, who is this? He has such a bad temper." As she said this, she patted her chest with her hand, looking as if she was still frightened.

Han Shangyan held his breath in his chest and almost choked himself to death. This girl, she didn't even recognize him?! He, Han Shangyan, the captain of K&K, the Gun God, was actually treated as a nobody by a little girl?!

Besides, hadn't they met in an Internet cafe not long ago? He taught this newbie how to play games for an entire night!

He felt that his self-esteem had been severely hit, just like a peacock that had dressed up carefully, spreading its feathers in front of a hen, but the hen ignored him and ran to peck at the insects on the ground. This feeling made him crazy.

He glared at Chu Hua fiercely, wishing to turn the confusion in her eyes into fear. Unfortunately, Chu Hua's nerves were obviously thicker than he thought. She didn't notice Han Shangyan's murderous gaze at all. Instead, she pulled Tong Nian's arm and chattered about other things.

"Niannian, let me tell you, today I..."

Han Shangyan couldn't bear to listen any longer. He stood up suddenly, and the chair rubbed against the ground, making a harsh sound, which still seemed particularly abrupt in this noisy Internet cafe.

Chu Hua was startled again, and this time she finally looked at Han Shangyan straight in the eye. She tilted her head and looked him up and down, as if she was looking at a stranger.

"What are you doing?" she asked, with a hint of impatience in her tone.

Han Shangyan was so angry at her innocent look that he almost vomited blood. He took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions, "You..."

"What's wrong with me?" Chu Hua asked back innocently.

Han Shangyan was choked by her and was speechless. He felt like he had punched cotton and had no place to put his strength. He had never seen such a slow-witted girl, which made him both annoyed and helpless.

"Little girl, don't you recognize me?" Han Shangyan raised his eyebrows, with a hint of grievance in his tone that he himself didn't even notice, like a large dog forgotten by its owner.
