“Oh, Alex’s boss is here. D*mn, she’s rich.”
“Isn’t that Xyla Quest? She can do anything she wants with her money.”
“Who else could it be if not Xyla?”
“D*mn! Indeed, it is you, Xyla.”
Alex smiled sheepishly when he saw her gifts on his channel. “Thank you, Boss, but you’ve spent too much. You don't have to give me gifts.”
“Don’t worry about it,” Xyla Quest immediately replied below.
“Would you like to play another round? I’ll still play Support for you. What do you say?” he asked.
“No. The others are doing livestreams, too. I’ll go and offer them gifts as well.”
“Okay, sure,” he replied.
Right then, somebody by the name of Turner sent him a message in the game. “I’m lacking a Support. Would you like to join me?”
“No, thanks,” Alex answered without any hesitation.
“Why? Aren’t you great as a Support?” Turner wondered.
“I don’t like playing Support.”
Witnessing their exchange, Xyla didn’t feel anything in particular and left the channel to offer gifts to other team members.
They had been training very hard recently to prepare for the spring tournament, so she wanted to encourage them with some rewards.
It wasn't unusual for her team members to give her preferential treatments from her perspective.
However, Alex’s fans in his livestream couldn’t remain calm and began spamming again—
“Honestly, there’s a double standard. Isn’t Turner a huge internet celebrity on a livestream platform? She’s so pretty!”
“You don’t dislike playing Support at all! You would only do it for Xyla, right? I can't believe you even rejected Turner.”
“Say, do you have a crush on Xyla? Why do I feel like something is going on between you two?”
“I feel so awkward seeing how people have double standards.”
