When Xue Xi heard this, she suddenly understood why Little Flame had been pestering her to play solo these last few days and only chose the role of marksman.

She stared blankly at Gao Yanchen amid her sudden realization. “Were you teaching me how to play marksman all this while?”

Gao Yanchen did not speak and Xue Xi frowned. For some unknown reason, she suddenly felt her heart sink.

Why did Feng Yan not want Little Flame?

She clenched her jaw and suddenly said, “I don’t want to play against you. Actually, I want to be your teammate more.”

Xue Xi had already done some research on the situation in Feng Yan’s team when he first invited her.

The other four members were all injured. Their team was very short of people.

She did not necessarily have to play marksman. Her support was also very good, and her mid-laner was also very formidable. She could even learn solos.

Little Flame’s marksman was really good. He was very suited to playing with others.

However, Feng Yan merely tensed his chin in the face of their suggestion. He lowered his eyes and looked at Xue Xi after a while. “Sister Xi, are you willing to play marksman?”

Seeing that Feng Yan was still rejecting Little Flame even now, Xue Xi was a little infuriated.

She clenched her jaw and said, “You two can discuss this before telling me. I’ll go out first.”

She turned around and walked out.

The moment she turned around, Xiang Huai, who had sensed the little kid’s unhappiness, took a deep look at Feng Yan.

His gaze was so cold that it seemed to be corporeal, causing Feng Yan’s body to freeze.

Feng Yan did not dare to turn around. Xiang Huai sneered and followed Xue Xi out.

The moment he left the room, Feng Yan broke out in a cold sweat.

...

As soon as Xue Xi went out, she saw Qin Shuang standing outside and waiting for her. When she walked over, she heard the nurse pointing at their ward.

“I don’t know where he came from. A small stomach hemorrhage actually resulted in the director personally performing the surgery.”

“Besides, our hospital’s wards are very high-end, but he actually stayed in the super VIP room.”

“He looks like the young master of a wealthy family, but in the capital, money is not enough. There are other things...”

“Anyway, don’t offend anyone who’s staying in this room...”

As the few young nurses were speaking, the director personally rushed over. He did not enter the ward but stood in front of Xue Xi and Xiang Huai. He said respectfully, “The patient’s body is fine. The surgery was very successful as the wound was very small. After being taken care of in the hospital for three days, he can be discharged. However, he’ll have to take care of his stomach for at least three months.”

Xue Xi nodded. “Okay.”

The director smiled. “Is there anything else I can help with?”

Xue Xi and Qin Shuang exchanged glances and shook their heads. “No.”

After the director left, Qin Shuang sighed. “Sister Xi, the capital is indeed a big city. A hospital’s director actually has such a good temper. He’s too polite!”

Xiang Huai, who was standing beside them: “...”

How could the director be so polite for no reason? It was all because he’d called.

However, he was also shocked by the chatterbox’s actions. If he’d known that it was just a simple stomach bleed, he would not have made such a big scene!

After sighing, Qin Shuang said, “Sister Xi, how should Brother Chen be taken care of?”

Xue Xi thought for a moment and said, “I think we should find a caregiver. We two can’t afford to take care of others. We’ll just find time to visit him.”

It was impossible for her and Qin Shuang to not go anywhere every day and accompany Gao Yanchen here.

In any case, from the doctor’s words, it seemed that Gao Yanchen’s illness was not severe.

Xue Xi then turned to look at Qin Shuang. “Go back and rest first.”

Just as Qin Shuang was about to say something, Xue Xi said, “Come over after class tomorrow.”

This was a practical move as they could not all stay in the hospital. If they did, everyone would be wasting their time here and not have enough energy for later. Qin Shuang thought about it and nodded before leaving.

...

In the ward.

Feng Yan was distracted by General Xiang’s glance. He knew that Sister Xi would not be happy if he did not let Xiao Chen join the battle team, so General Xiang was unhappy.

Logically speaking, he should have let Xiao Chen in now.

However...

Feng Yan lowered his eyes and stared at Gao Yanchen. He sighed. “Xiao Chen, this life doesn’t suit you.”

Gao Yanchen had already lost hope in him. Hearing this, he sneered. “How do you know that it doesn’t suit me?”

Feng Yan remained silent.

In the quiet ward, a pause...

“Brother.” Gao Yanchen seemed unable to release his violent temper in front of Feng Yan. He was extremely repressed. He stared at the ceiling and slowly said, “Five years ago, we fought together. At that time, I was young and ignorant. You didn’t bring me along when you founded the team. To me, it was a form of betrayal. Now that I think about it, I was too impulsive and loved to fight. It’s normal for you to find me troublesome. I forgive you.”

Feng Yan was stunned.

His eyes were a little warm.

He wanted to say that it was not Xiao Chen’s fault. He mustn’t slander and doubt himself... Feng Yan had never despised him for being troublesome. Back then, when the two of them were playing together, it was the happiest time of his life. However, he could not bring himself to say this.

Gao Yanchen could not hear his reply, but because of his words, he was reminded of the past.

When he was 13 years old, he became rebellious after losing his parents. He seemed to have been born with a tempestuous personality, and it was easy for him to get angry and start fights. His personality was rash and he did not have a brain. There were pitifully few friends around him.

When he got to know Feng Yan in the game and discovered they had a lot in common, he slowly restrained his temper.

He started off as a marksman.

However, he was a reckless person who’d rush forward whenever something happened. To fix his temper, Feng Yan forced him to play support while Feng Yan played marksman.

While the two of them were playing, they accidentally became the best of partners and became rather famous in the group.

Gao Yanchen finally stopped being impulsive, and the two of them agreed to set up their own team.

But later on, when Feng Yan’s team was established, he abandoned Gao Yanchen due to his young age.

At that time, Gao Yanchen felt as though he had been abandoned by the whole world. Whenever he thought that Feng Yan’s marksman would have other supports to protect him in the future, he would be in immense pain. Hence, he forced Feng Yan to swear that he would never let anyone else help him!

Feng Yan swore: “I will never play marksman again.”

Hence, the top marksman in the national server changed his role.

He was an Omnipotent Demon, but he had never again touched the role of marksman.

At this thought, Gao Yanchen’s eyes turned red again. Tears seemed to be about to spill out. He widened his eyes and forced those tears back. He then slowly said, “But now, I can control my temper. All these years, I’ve been practicing my marksman and have been working hard to keep up with you.

“Brother, can you tell me why you don’t want me?”
