After a brief hesitation, Celine sent him another friend request, but this time, she added a text: I’m sorry for what I did just now.
Just as Rowen was about to pick up a bottle of soda, he received a notification about a friend request he had declined earlier. Isn’t Linnie the girl brought by that dude? The dude stole my jungle role. Argh, I can’t believe she gave the other team eighteen kills while playing support.
He had encountered girls like her on many occasions and knew that she was only interested in riding on his success after noticing his achievements. She thinks she can curry favor with me with that apology, huh? How cheesy.
Rowen had no interest in pursuing girls while gaming. In fact, in real life, countless women tried to get his attention, but he showed no interest in them, let alone the girl online who might be an uncouth man.
Rowen grabbed his phone, intending to decline the request, but he accidentally clicked the accept button instead.
He knitted his brows, and another notification popped up.
The person sent him another text message: I’m so sorry. It’s only my second time playing the game. Earlier, I was accompanying my friend, who was on a mission in the game. I didn’t play dirty on purpose. I’m sorry.
After glancing at the screen, Rowen opened her page and was ready to strike the person’s face.
Yet, he was surprised to see that there were only a total of four games on the page.
He was instantly rendered speechless, believing her apology to be sincere. Nonetheless, he had no intention of replying to her message. Just as he was about to unfriend her, she sent another message: I’m so so so sorry. To make it up to you, I’ll buy you new skin, okay?
After Celine sent him that text message, anxiety overwhelmed her. In truth, she was not a generous person, but Chermond’s constant reminders about her dirty tricks during the match, along with seeing Xen suddenly stopped moving when he could almost obtain the crystal, made her realize that he must be angry with her.
At the beginning of the game, she was clueless about the strategies. Following Chermond’s advice, she avoided sticking with her team’s players in a duo and instead went to support the marksman. Later, when Enzer asked her to buy a gem, she recalled Chermond’s words and finally understood why Xen had told her not to follow him earlier.
Throughout the entire game, Xen had only spoken one sentence at the beginning, but after twenty minutes, everyone was already arguing. Enzer blamed the mage and top laner for forming a duo, while the mage and top laner criticized her and Enzer for doing the same.
Celine kept mum throughout the argument, and Xen acted as if he was not involved at all.
However, if she put herself in his shoes, she could understand why he was furious. Dealing with gamers like the four of them could actually drive people nuts.
Chermond’s constant reminders made her realize she had treated Xen unfairly, so feeling a pang of guilt, she came up with a solution to make it up to him.
Xen, who had not replied to any of her messages, finally texted back: That seems like a sincere apology. I want Venantius’ Honor Collection.
Rowen wanted to see if she was willing to give him a skin set worth more than five thousand. Why should I turn her down since she wants to give me something for free?
Celine had limited knowledge about skins in the game. Upon receiving his reply, she went to the store to look for the skin instead of replying to him right away. She learned that the skin he wanted was not available for sale.
She went to check with Chermond. Upon receiving her message, he texted back: Are you crazy? That collection is worth over five thousand, and you won’t be able to purchase it. You have to draw crystals to get it! Why would you want to buy the skin all of a sudden? It’s just a game. It’s not worth spending so much on it!
Celine instantly gasped after reading his reply. What? That costs more than five thousand?
Nevertheless, she was not someone who would go against her words. Even though she had no idea who Xen was, she still felt desperately guilty for not being able to fulfill his request. She texted him: I’m so sorry. The skin you asked for is too expensive. How about another skin?
Rowen, who was about to load a new game, thought he had frightened her off with his demand, but that was not the case.
After reading her message, he responded with a brief reply: Forget it.
Upon sending the message to her, he noticed she had already gone offline. It was getting late, so he chose to exit the game and went to the bathroom to freshen up. I better hit the sack now since I need to go to school tomorrow.
Celine woke up early the next day. Despite going to bed early the previous night, she could not sleep well due to the unfamiliar surroundings of the Lewis residence.
The bed she slept in last night was much more comfortable than any she had slept in before, and the room was also brighter and more spacious than her previous living quarters. However, she could not sleep a wink as she was not used to the new environment.
She only managed to sleep for a short while before the alarm on her phone rang.
