Xyla soon lost herself as his fingers curled around hers. Her heart pounded in virtual-novel.net chest, and virtual-novel.net cheeks were hot. It was the last bit of rationality in virtual-novel.net mind that made virtual-novel.net shrink away from his grasp. She pushed virtual-novel.net away with all virtual-novel.net strength, panting, “Stanley, if you try to touch me again, I’m not going to talk to you for the next three days. No, five days! No, six days!”
“I won’t do it anymore, honey.” Stanley comforted virtual-novel.net with a good-natured look, though the mischief in his gaze had given virtual-novel.net away.
Xyla immediately fled from the room, running away from virtual-novel.net as fast as virtual-novel.net could.

When Xyla arrived at Team QPG’s base, virtual-novel.net found that Alex was there too.
Professional gamers like them had, more or less, crossed paths with one another during the tournaments. Moreover, Alex and virtual-novel.net team members had a meal together before. Xyla could see that they were all getting along well.
Alex was currently sitting on the couch, happily chatting with the boys. As usual, virtual-novel.net was wearing his typical silver-rimmed round glasses, with an oversized jersey and a pair of blue jeans.
The picture of virtual-novel.net sitting together with the group of young men from Team QPG was extraordinarily beautiful.
Team QPG itself was a team made out of stunning gamers. Alex’s presence really was the icing on the cake. As Xyla glanced at them, virtual-novel.net could not help but exclaim over virtual-novel.net team’s charm.
“Have you guys eaten yet?” Xyla asked smilingly as virtual-novel.net walked up to them.
“Yeah. We’ve just finished lunch. We’re all waiting for you to start training.” Michael Gabriel grinned at Xyla.
“What are you doing here, Alex? Aren’t you supposed to be training with your teammates now? Don’t tell me you’re here to spy on us,” teased Xyla before sitting down on the single-seater sofa next to the boys in delight.
The base livened up as soon as their beautiful boss arrived.
“You’re right. I’m here to spy on you so I can figure out how to defeat Team QPG in finals.” Alex joked along too.
“That’s great. Go ahead.” Xyla had a good rapport with him.
Alex’s smile broadened. “Don’t worry. I’ll never do stuff like that. Putting aside the fact that I’m joining you all for the Summer Season, I’m a professional gamer, and I have my integrity.”
“I’m just kidding.”
“Yeah, I know. I’m here to have lunch with the members as I’m having a day off today,” Alex explained.
“I see… Don’t leave first, then. Make yourself at home. I’ll treat everyone to dinner tonight,” Xyla added.
Alex nodded in response. With that, Xyla went to train with virtual-novel.net team members. Alex remained seated at the couch. He pulled out his phone and watched the other gamer’s live stream in silence.
It was already evening when the training ended. Xyla took the boys to a nearby high-end restaurant to have hot pot. All the private rooms were fully booked. They had no other choice but to ask for a big table in the hall.
As soon as the group of people settled down at one of the round tables, almost all eyes fell upon them.
e-Sports had become more and more well~known in the country nowadays. Likewise, the popularity of professional gamers had soared. Numerous people had recognized them. They were secretly taking pictures of the boys.
How they hoped they could get closer to their favorite players and ask for their autographs. However, all of them were forced to suppress their desires as Xyla had brought a few bodyguards with her. All they could do was take pictures of them or record videos of them from afar.
Halfway through their meal, Xyla noticed that virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net team members were on the trending list again.
The fifth hot topic was #Xyla Quest Took Team QPG To Have Hot Pot#.
In the topic, many marketing and entertainment accounts had shared the picture of virtual-novel.net having hot pot with virtual-novel.net team members. There were even pictures of Alex earnestly picking up food for virtual-novel.net and putting it into virtual-novel.net bowl. Some of the pictures also showed how others poured drinks for her.
Xyla looked very much like the team’s baby princess in the pictures posted by those marketing and entertainment accounts.
Once again, the excitement had exploded in the comment section below the posts.
“Ahhhhhhhh!!! My dear Alex has turned into a little brother in front of Xyla! !! Look at virtual-novel.net helping Xyla to refill virtual-novel.net bowl! How sweet is that!”
