Countless messages from Alex’s mother flooded his phone screen.“Hey, when are you coming home? Your father and I miss you…”“I heard that you had an interview at the television company today, didn’t you? That’s amazing…”“D*mn… Why did I read on Weibo that you like someone? Who is it? What does she do?”“Is she a commentator? A host? Or a news anchor? Does she do something else? Speak, will you…”“Is this still a one-sided crush? Say something…”“Where are you? Are you asleep? You can’t be asleep at this hour. Are you intentionally ignoring my messages?”With so many messages, Alex suddenly didn’t know which one to reply to first.After letting out a long sigh, Alex tapped on the voice recording button. “The holidays will be the same as in previous years. I’ll go home when the holidays start… Yeah, I did get interviewed… There’s also someone I like, but she doesn’t like me…”“As for other stuff, don’t ask. Alright, I’m going to sleep…” Alex said.After that, Alex locked his
After reading the last message sent by Tia Teegan, Alex subconsciously frowned a little.‘Are girls so direct these days?’ he wondered.“That’s not possible.” Alex replied without hesitation.“Alright then… Pretend I didn’t say that. Can we play together?” Tia asked.“No… I want to sleep. I’m tired.” Alex replied.At the same time, after sitting on the couch for a while, Xyla Quest went upstairs.Stanley Batton hadn’t returned home yet, but Xyla didn’t call him to ask where he was. She knew that Stanley was naturally occupied with something if he wasn’t home by now.Hence, Xyla put her phone down and went into the bathroom. She turned on the faucet in the bathtub.While waiting, Xyla removed her make-up and washed her face…After washing her face, Xyla slowly put on a high-class, customized face mask.Right then, the water in the bathtub happened to be full.Xyla removed her clothes and immersed herself in the water.The feeling of exhaustion melted away the moment she sat
These people simply felt too dull.Xyla Quest didn’t interrupt either. Instead, she silently selected her hero and waited for the game to begin.Soon, Xyla’s team decided on their formation.The Top Solo, Riverside Grass, chose Aatrox…The Jungler, Awakened, chose Sejuani.The Mid Solo, Dreamlike Wine, chose Orianna.Meanwhile, as the ADC, Xyla chose Xayah.Alex chose Rakan as the Support.After the game started, people on the team started talking again—“It’s such a shame that you aren’t playing Top Solo, Alex…” Riverside Grass said.“That’s right… Alex, can I add you as my friend? Let’s play together when you’re free,” Awakened said.“Alex, I’ve watched every single match of yours. Your performance during the world championship this year was amazing… In my heart, you’ll always be the number one Top Solo in the world…” Dreamlike Wine said.“LPL Region would never have a better Top Solo than Alex,” Riverside Grass added.In Team XS’s practice room at their base, Alex glanc
Stanley Batton pinched his forehead gently once more. After that, he slowly turned around and leaned against the wall. “There’s a lot of work and meetings to attend. That’s why…”Xyla Quest felt extremely hurt to see Stanley like this. “Okay… In that case, hurry up and take a shower. After that, let’s sleep.”“Alright… Be a good girl. Stop playing after this match, alright?” Although Stanley’s voice sounded hoarse from being tired, it was still charming to listen to. It sounded extremely sexy.Xyla felt tingles in her body just listening to him.“Okay…” Xyla nodded obediently.Stanley entered the bathroom immediately after that. Meanwhile, Xyla quickly shifted her gaze back to the game screen.By then, the team matching process was already complete.This time, their teammates were all professional gamers from LPL Region.These gamers were all in bottom-ranked teams within the region.When they saw Alex, they started complimenting him enthusiastically. Moreover, they also activ
Xyla Quest was intoxicated by heart-warming moments like this…“I feel great today, and my appetite was good too. I didn’t feel nauseous either. So I think I probably won’t experience retching in the future again,” Xyla said.“That’s great.” Stanley Batton immediately felt relieved when he heard this.“I promised Dad that we’d return home for breakfast tomorrow. So let’s get to bed early,” Xyla said.“Alright,” Stanley said.After closing her eyes, Xyla very quickly fell asleep…However, as soon as she fell asleep, she started dreaming again.Xyla dreamed that she was in a densely overgrown forest.A white nine-tailed fox collapsed in a pool of blood…A large area of white mist surrounded the nine-tailed fox…After this dream ended, Xyla was transported to another dream…In this dream, she wore a traditional white robe, and she had the hairstyle of someone from the ancient past. Xyla found herself playing a string instrument in an antique-looking room…Soon after, a man in
“Why do the dreams you have tonight sound so similar to the ones you had before? It feels like scattered parts of a television drama…” Stanley Batton said earnestly.It sounded like these stories could be pieced together.However, other minor parts of the stories seemed to be missing somewhere in between.Xyla Quest nodded repeatedly. There was an eager look in her eyes. “I didn’t expect you to think the same way… I also feel that these stories could be connected. With a few added snippets, it would be a complete drama plot…“In the beginning, I probably rescued a nine-tailed fox in my dream. This nine-tailed fox turned out to be a demon. After that, it perhaps fell in love with me because I saved its life…“To be with me, he kidnapped my husband. Moreover, he demanded I marry him. Otherwise, my husband would die…“I didn’t have a choice but to agree to what he asked. After that, there was the scene on the night of our wedding. I might have put some poison in the wine.“That, in
However, Xyla Quest had no way of knowing for sure…Xyla could only leave everything up to time.If she continued to have these dreams in the future, that would signify they weren’t just dreams… After all, up until now, nobody else had been able to watch a drama series in their dreams…In fact, this drama was even updated daily.“Yeah…” Stanley Batton replied calmly. He then gently pulled Xyla into his arms.“If those were memories from my past life, what else do you reckon ties us to the nine-tailed fox?“I’m truly curious…” Xyla had many questions about this.At the same time, she also had a lot of concerns in her heart…Xyla felt that if all those were memories from her past life, the fact that she was seeing them at this point would indeed be ordained by fate.Why did god arrange for all this to happen?Was it a representation that all the enmities in her past life were being tallied?Was the person after her debts carrying out this crazy scheme?There was no way for
Seeing that Xyla Quest was also awake, Stanley Batton immediately ignored his physical discomfort and hugged her tightly. “Did you sleep well last night?” he asked.“Yeah. What about you?” Xyla lied.Stanley lied in return. “Very well… Let’s get out of bed and get ready. Aren’t we going back to your father’s house for breakfast?”***After cleaning up, the two of them felt much more energized…Once Xyla was done putting on make-up and wearing her clothes, she went over to her father’s house next door with Stanley.When Stanley parked his car in the Quest family’s courtyard, the gardener was busy tending to the plants in the small garden within the courtyard…The two of them were greeted by a breeze that brought with it a scent of trees and plants, instantly easing the discomfort they felt.Although Xyla didn’t rest well, she looked like a white peony in full bloom thanks to skincare products and the help of her nude make-up…Xyla’s face was soft and smooth. Coupled with the wh
