Chapter 8

Because our relationship had been exposed, we went straight into zero contact.

Everyone focused on training for the upcoming matches, and he always stayed in his room without coming out.

My plan to chase my ex finally made a little progress again.

At noon, he ordered food for us.

K quickly opened the food, and his eyes lit up. “Ethan, there’s a chicken drumstick today!”

One hand quickly took the meal away and placed it in front of me.

“Were you starved in a past life? This is for Logan.”

K wailed, “Ethan, I haven’t eaten a chicken drumstick in ages.”

Seeing that K was craving it, I gave him the drumstick. “Eat it. You’re practically drooling.”

Ethan frowned as he looked at a certain someone’s sharp collarbones. “Team XYG doesn’t have a habit of starving people. Eat more.”

As the gossip spectator, Zane clicked his tongue. “Tsk, tsk. I think old flames are burning again. Tsk, tsk.”

The chicken drumstick returned to my bowl.

My chase-my-man diary had progress again, and this meal tasted so sweet!

“Captain Hale definitely likes women. If I were a girl, I would absolutely win him over!”

Bang.

Then came the sound of coughing.

Tomorrow afternoon, Team XYG had a friendly match against Team Dragon God.

Zane and K both cheered me on and told me to target mid lane tomorrow.

K quietly looked back, and Zane quickly locked the door, both looking as if facing a great enemy.

“The first love Captain Hale likes is someone from Dragon God.”

That one sentence froze me for a full minute, and my mind went foggy.

Was I the simp? Or was I the clown?

“But we’re all rooting for you. Smash Dragon God and steal Captain Hale back home as your trophy wife!”

I wanted to go home... so it turned out all of this had been my own willing delusion...

The grievance that had built up for so long burst at the slightest touch.

Tears fell without even telling me first.
