Chapter 375: Volume 1 Chapter 375 I Insist on Tasting the Bitterness of Love (15)

Jiang Zhi refused to speak to him any further, lifting her foot step by step into the elevator, extending her trembling finger to press the top-floor button.

Bystanders nearby saw the most famous genius esports player in the esports circle, the ice-cold Ning Xun, humbly trailing behind the woman, both flattering and soothing her.

The taken photos quickly spread online.

Weibo crashed instantly.

The top hot search was:

#YK Ning Xun's Girlfriend#

Because the photo was blurry, only Ning Xun's face could be seen clearly, while the girl in his arms was completely blocked, her face invisible.

Thus everyone was guessing who the girlfriend of Ning Xun, hailed as the esports circle's divine face, was.

In the luxurious top-floor suite.

The youth half-kneeled before her, extending his head toward her hand, gently rubbing.

"Sorry, Zhizhi."

Jiang Zhi, having cried enough, asked in a trembling voice: "She's just my friend, and she's also a girl."

Ning Xun pressed her palm against his chest, leaning closer, his dark eyes reflecting her face.

"... Seeing you smile at others, Zhizhi, I will go mad… I will go mad." His voice was low, almost hoarse, as if he would roar from his throat any moment.

Jiang Zhi's fingertip caressed his reddened eye corner, and she let out a soft sigh.

Ning Xun narrowed his eyes, rubbing her fingertip, and stretched his arms around her waist; deep in his pupils lay a morbid, obsessive love.

Thus he held her, never to part.

—

The competition venue.

Many fans gathered, holding signs in the air, most of which read Ning Xun.

Jiang Zhi was required by Ning Xun to wear a mask and hat to enter the venue, and her clothing was also rather conservative.

The youth wished he could let her burrow into a plush toy so no one could see her.

His possessiveness toward her had already approached abnormality.

After meeting the prearranged Li Qianqian, they entered the spectator seats together, their seats near the front, the best viewing spots.

The spectator seats surrounded the central four screens, which were now playing highlight reels of past players.

Li Qianqian brought her a cup of milk tea and a bag of snacks.

"The match will surely last a long time, so eat more."

Jiang Zhi took a sip of milk tea and nodded in agreement.

Li Qianqian leaned close to her ear, excitedly saying: "Do you know? Something big happened in the esports circle last night!"

Jiang Zhi: "What?"

Li Qianqian handed her the top hot search from Weibo: "Didn't I tell you? The esports circle has a player more famous than celebrities, and last night paparazzi caught him being intimate with his girlfriend."

Jiang Zhi lowered her gaze and saw the two characters 'Ning Xun'.

She opened the candid photo on her phone screen, and upon not seeing herself, she breathed a sigh of relief.

After Li Qianqian finished speaking, she thought of something and asked: "By the way, you still haven't told me who your boyfriend is."

Jiang Zhi pointed at the face appearing on the large screen and said: "Him."

At that moment, Ning Xun was being introduced; a handsome yet aloof face appeared on the screen, causing the fans in the stands to scream repeatedly.

Li Qianqian stared for a moment, then lowered her gaze to the candid photo, which faintly captured half of the female's clothing hem.

It was exactly the outfit Xiao Zhi wore while shopping yesterday.

Li Qianqian covered her mouth, almost exclaiming, "You… your boyfriend… is……

Ning Xun???"

Jiang Zhi took a sip of milk tea and weakly nodded.

Li Qianqian spent ten minutes digesting this big news.

Seeing the woman's abnormal expression, she couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? Is dating him unpleasant?"

Jiang Zhi lay back in the seat, weak and listless, saying: "He's too young."

Li Qianqian, also something of a veteran, immediately understood her words, propping her chin and nodding: "Exactly, he's only 18, his behavior isn't as mature as his peers."

But he's truly handsome!

She fell silent for a few seconds, then quietly asked: "Did you do it?"

Jiang Zhi glanced at her; the latter's expression was excited.

"... Yes."

Li Qianqian widened her eyes: "How was it? How was it??"

Jiang Zhi thought and said: "Desire is too strong; I can't quite handle it."

Li Qianqian let out a soft, drawn-out 'oh'.

Drought brings drought death, flood brings flood death.

"Before, his teammate secretly took a photo of his abs and posted it online, driving his fans crazy." Li Qianqian sighed: "Someone like him, engaged in an esports career, who can persist in daily exercise, is truly not ordinary."

Jiang Zhi was like a salted fish that had lost its dreams, her eyelids so heavy she could barely keep them open.

"I'll sleep a while; remember to wake me when the match starts."

Li Qianqian, sharp-eyed, noticed the ambiguous red marks spreading across her snow-white neck.

This Ning Xun is too fierce, right? He has a match today, yet last night he was still clinging to Xiao Zhi?

She sighed again, "He's not an ordinary person."

…

The match starts in an hour.

The awakened Jiang Zhi rubbed her tired eyes; her blurry vision gradually cleared, and she saw Ning Xun walking onto the stage.

He stood in a line with his teammates; the light split into specks, falling like golden light on his handsome profile, deep shadows under his long lashes covering his eyes, and as he lifted his gaze, loud shouts rang in his ears.

"Ning Shen! Ning Shen!!"

The youth's gaze shifted, landing on the woman's face sitting in the dim light.

Faintly meeting the youth's dark, narrow eyes, Jiang Zhi wasn't sure if it was an illusion; she vaguely saw a hint of a smile on his thin, red lips.

The loud fans' screams told her it wasn't an illusion.

After the introductions, they entered the soundproof game room to prepare.

Li Qianqian only felt a chill down her spine: 'He won't get jealous just because I'm sitting with you, will he?'

Jiang Zhi handed her a warm milk tea, comforting: 'Be more confident, drop the 'ba' particle.'

Li Qianqian: '……'

Wow, what a petty guy!

The game officially began.

Their opponents were the M-country team, which performed well last year and can be considered a strong rival.

One match decides the winner.

But as expected, Ning Xun's team YK won.

Next up were the other teams' matches.

In the lounge.

Zhuang Hui curiously asked: 'Ning-ge, has the sister-in-law come?'

Mid laner Ren Xixi, game ID Xigua, said: 'I saw online speculation that the sister-in-law is the early early netizen whale on the Whale Live platform, right? Ning-ge.'

Ning Xun, lying on the sofa with eyes closed resting, replied coolly: 'No.'

Coach He walked in at that moment, praised them, then said: 'Tonight we'll eat together, Xiao Xun; it's time to let the younger siblings meet us.'

Ning Xun suddenly stood up, hands in his pockets, and walked out.

'She's shy.'

…

Jiang Zhi, walking out of the restroom, felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.

She picked up her phone and saw the text the boy had sent.

【Where are you?】

Jiang Zhi didn't want to meet him here, fearing paparazzi would snap her again; she didn't want to become some celebrity.

【In the stands, getting ready to nap a bit; you don't need to come find me.】

Just after sending it, as Jiang Zhi prepared to lift her leg back to the stands, she heard a familiar voice behind her.

"In the stands?"

Jiang Zhi turned around and saw the boy who had appeared behind her at some point.

Under Ning Xun's slightly curled brown short hair hung a pair of gloomy, deep pupils; his face was cold and aloof, as if steeped in a deep, cold abyss.

"Why did you lie to me?"
