Cassia clicked “Decline.”

The moment she did, another alert sound rang out.

“Rollercoaster has invited you to a duel. Accept?”

Why is this person so annoying?

Ding!

A new message popped up in her app’s chat window. It was from a stranger

Rollercoaster wrote, “Hello. My name is Aspen Wood, rated just over 2000. May I ask–are you the legendary player?”

Aspen?

So, Rollercoaster is Aspen?

No wonder the name sounded familiar. Last time she went to a family dinner, she had heard Aspen casually mention that he had an account on an online chess app.

Cassia replied, “So what if I am?”

Aspen froze.

That meant yes, right?

Excited, he quickly replied.

“I want to learn chess from you. Please, I’m serious about this. I hope you’ll agree.”

Cassia moved the mouse toward “Decline.”

Suddenly, she changed direction and clicked “Accept.”

She accepted!

Aspen excitedly straightened up in his chair at once. He stared at the screen with a respectful, almost nervous look.

“Senior, I truly want to become your student. Please give me a chance.”

Cassia sent a message.

“People online say I already took you as my student. Did you spread that rumor?”

Aspen’s right hand froze on the mouse.

He remembered what his father had once said to him.

Aspen went silent.

After a few seconds, he finally replied, “Yes. It was me.”

Cassia raised an eyebrow when she saw the answer.

At least he had the nerve to admit it.

At home, aside from Geneva, Aspen was the only one who seemed even slightly decent in her

eyes.

But he was still annoying.

Aspen typed again, “I’ve loved chess since I was little. I want to improve faster, play against stronger opponents, and reach the top of the chess world. I believe the best way is to learn from a true master.” After sending the message, he clenched his fist tightly.

These were his honest thoughts.

He stared at the screen, barely blinking, waiting for her reply.

Ding!

A message arrived.

She replied. She really replied!

Aspen took a deep breath and looked at the screen.

But the message said, “I won’t take you as my student.”

His heart dropped straight to the bottom.

“Why?”

Cassia’s reply was short and blunt. “Because you’re annoying.”

As he kept looking, an image flashed through his mind, Cassia saying, “You’re annoying.”

Cold. Calm. Slightly smug.

He sat there, staring at the screen for a long time before slowly coming back to himself.

When he checked the time again, more than half an hour had passed.

Henry had firmly rejected him. Aspen had finally waited for the legendary player to come online. He thought fate had opened a new door for him. Instead, that door s‘ harder.

Did he actually lose his chance to find himself a mentor?

Aspen’s shoulders slumped. He shut down the computer.

He needed some time alone.

As for Cassia, after closing the chat with Aspen, she randomly matched with a few other players and started a new game.

In the middle of the match, her phone rang. It was Geneva.

“Cassia! Get to the hospital right now!”

An hour earlier, at the hospital.

In the quiet hospital room, Danica jolted awake from a nightmare.

“Ha… ha…”

She threw off the blanket and curled into a corner of the bed, hugging her knees. Her whole body shook. Sweat covered her forehead, and her hospital gown was soaked throug

The dream was still stuck in her mind.

In it, strangers tore at her clothes until there was nothing left. Rough hands grabbed at her in a wild, careless way.
