The King's Avatar: Become Stronger After Being Rejected, Don't Agree!

"You two...you haven't been playing since last night, have you?" Chen Guo, who didn't wake up until after 11 o'clock, habitually looked around her own internet cafe and asked blankly when she saw the two figures in Section C.

"Hmm..." Ye Xiu replied without looking up, continuing to focus on the dungeon in front of him.

Lu Chen yawned slightly. He had just finished his own thing. He looked up at his phone and his expression stiffened slightly. He had obviously seen the message from Tang Rou.

I have a girlfriend now! I was so focused on playing games that I completely forgot!

Feeling a little guilty, Lu Chen sent a meme, then didn't dare look at it anymore.

"What's wrong?" Su Muqiu asked curiously, looking down at him.

"Um, no, it's nothing..." Lu Chen said awkwardly.

After fiddling with her phone for a moment, Chen Guo said somewhat angrily, "Alright, you guys go back to sleep now, I won't let you play anymore!"

"Oh." Lu Chen nodded quickly, then shivered inexplicably. He glanced at the door; it was closed.

Lu Chen quickly packed his things, then watched Chen Guo push Ye Xiu upstairs: "Hmm? Brother Ye wants to find a private room to sleep in?"

"Uh..." Chen Guo was slightly taken aback. She then remembered that Xiao Tang was now Xiao Chen's girlfriend, so it seemed a bit inappropriate to let Ye Xiu stay upstairs.

Lu Chen thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Sister Chen wouldn't want Brother Ye to stay in that storage room, would she? That's not a suitable place for him to live, is it? How about Brother Ye stays with me? I have a spare room over there."

"Wouldn't this be a bit troublesome?" Chen Guo hesitated for a moment, then realized it was a great idea: "That works too. I'll transfer money to you, Xiao Chen, every month..."

"It's alright, we'll talk about it later." Lu Chen waved his hand cheerfully, "What do you say, Brother Ye?"

Ye Xiu is his bound user, and Su Muqiu is his bound ghost, residing in that account card. They can't be too far away, so he feels very at ease having them live with him.

"Thanks, Xiao Chen. I'll pay the room fee later. Hmm, I'll pay it when I get paid next time. By the way, your place isn't far, is it?" Ye Xiu had no objections to this. He was quite satisfied with even the rather shabby-looking storage room.

Lu Chen smiled and pointed upstairs: "It's in the residential area behind here, above the internet cafe. It'll be convenient for you to get to work."

"Thank you for your help."

"Thank you for your help, Xiao Chen." Su Muqiu said cheerfully, "In return, I'll try to get you a silver weapon!"

Lu Chen yawned and, somewhat wearily, led Ye Xiu toward his residence.

"It's very clean, and the blackout curtains are great too. Thanks, Xiao Chen." Ye Xiu had lost his energetic demeanor from when he was playing games and looked extremely tired.

"It's alright, Brother Ye, you go to sleep." Lu Chen smiled. He had always been wholeheartedly devoted to his bound partner.

Lu Chen got this house from Tang Rou as a "rejection reward." It's a pity that Xiao Rou is now his girlfriend... Lu Chen felt a little regretful. However, with a girlfriend like this, shouldn't he start making some plans for the future?

Lu Chen felt a strange sensation in his heart, and his drowsiness was slightly dispelled. He scratched his head, turned around and went downstairs to the convenience store to buy some daily necessities.

He already has a girlfriend, and all he needed to do was be rejected, so why did he agree to date her?

Lu Chen sighed, took out his phone to scan the QR code to pay, and his expression changed slightly after opening Green Bubble.

Xiaorou: [Playing games until now? Humph!]

Lu Chen was taken aback, then quickly raised his hand to make the call. The call was answered quickly, and the voice on the other end carried a slight chill and dissatisfaction, but the concern in it was undeniable: "Not asleep yet?"

"Um, well, I..." Lu Chen scratched his head, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "I, I'm thinking about the future. I want to, I want to become a professional player, for, for my future with Sister Xiaorou..."

So, there's really no big problem, is there?

"..." There seemed to be a sudden silence on the other end of the phone. After a long while, the coldness in the voice disappeared, replaced by a different meaning: "Well, your health is more important. I... I'll be back by tomorrow at the latest. I'm hanging up now. You should get some sleep. Remember to let me know when you wake up!"

Then, the line went dead.

Lu Chen glanced at his phone, sighed, swiped the payment code, and went home with the item in his heart. After writing a note to remind Ye Xiu that it was bought for him, he lay down on the bed and drifted off to sleep.

After becoming tired, it is easy to fall into a deep sleep, and the body can recover well. Lu Chen woke up at about six o'clock.

I stumbled out of the room, poured myself a glass of water, and drank a little.

"Hmm? Xiao Chen is awake? Oh right, thanks." Ye Xiu waved the towel in his hand and said with a smile.

Lu Chen nodded cheerfully: "Shall we go out to get something to eat later? Or should we go to the internet cafe and order takeout?"

"Let's just head over there. I have to go back to work today." Ye Xiu wiped his face, put the towel back, and stretched. "Boss Chen said food will be provided."

Lu Chen didn't refute anything, gave Su Muqiu a barely perceptible nod, and gave Ye Xiu a spare key. He couldn't stay up too long today.

The two chatted about what happened when the server opened yesterday as they walked towards the Excellent Era Internet Cafe downstairs.

"Hmm? Why aren't the lights on today?" Ye Xiu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Is today a match day?" Lu Chen looked towards the center of the internet cafe and said with a smile, "On match days, Sister Chen always broadcasts the games, and everyone gathers together to watch. It's quite lively."

"Not bad, huh? But today doesn't seem to be..." Ye Xiu hadn't finished speaking when he heard the speaker announce: "[The captain of Team Excellent Era, the player of the League's titled Battle God One Autumn Leaf, one of the League's four great tacticians, the textbook of Glory, one of the three gods of the pioneering generation... has been retired by Excellent Era Club and left this stage.]"

"Huh? So many people retired yesterday?" Lu Chen scratched his head and asked, somewhat bewildered.

The question made Ye Xiu, who was still feeling somewhat sad, pause for a moment, and his emotions suddenly became disjointed: "Ahem, Xiao Chen, these are all my titles..."

"Oh, oh, oh." Lu Chen scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

Over there, some sobbing and shouts of resentment could be heard, indicating that they did not accept it.

"They all like you a lot, Brother Ye," Lu Chen said, glancing at Ye Xiu who had lit a cigarette.

"Ah... perhaps, they embodied their unfulfilled dreams within me..." Ye Xiu took a drag of his cigarette, enveloped in smoke in the darkness: "The yearning for glory..."
