Pegasus Cybercafé was near Kevin’s school. This cybercafé had been in existence for quite some years. Skylar had been there when she was still a student.
Back then, she used to spend the whole night at the cybercafé with Jeremy. Skylar still remembered the price. The fee was fifteen—all night unlimited use.
That time, Jeremy liked to play CrossFire. He wore a headset and cursed at the computer a lot.
He was really good at gaming. At that time, Skylar thought that was love.
However, it felt terribly uncomfortable especially during the morning hours at cybercafé. The pungent odor, dust in the air, hunger for food, and a face covered in sebum.
What came up next was the voice of the boss.
Wake up. It’s morning now.
Skylar was lost in thought. She was never a delicate girl who had the best time of youth, but an ordinary person who lived a plain life. If it wasn’t for Tobias, she would just kept on muddling through her life as she used to day in and day out.
There was an empty instant noodles bowl on the table when Skylar finally found Kevin. He was wearing a headset and commanding his teammates in the game.
“Can someone give me a Kar98k? F*ck! I can’t find any vehicles!”
“Who the f*ck is aiming at me?”
“I haven’t won a game tonight…”
Skylar found it hard to believe that Kevin used to be an excellent student with good manners and top results when she saw him there.
Kevin’s grades had always been good. He even won first place in National French Contest during his first year of high school. How did he end up like this in such a short time? Could it be the peer pressure from growing up?
Skylar had been standing behind him for quite a while. If Tobias didn’t remove the headset from behind Kevin, he wouldn’t even notice her existence.
He immersed himself completely in the game.
Kevin couldn’t recognize Skylar at first because she was wearing a baseball cap and face mask. He was about to curse but quickly swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.
