Xiao Ye watched them curse and grumble, his expression calm.
"Let the school spread whatever they want, I'm not going back anyway."
Because he no longer wanted to care.
Caring would only plunge him into an abyss of pain.
He Yu and Huang Wei were stunned.
They stopped relaying the online abuse to Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye changed out of his hospital gown for the first time, his face looking somewhat gaunt.
"What do you think of my outfit?"
Due to the long-term torment of stomach cancer, Xiao Ye wore an oversized hoodie, which seemed to engulf his skeletal frame.
He Yu and Huang Wei gave him thumbs up and loudly praised, "So handsome, so handsome! Brother Xiao, you look great, even the campus belle would chase you down the street."
Xiao Ye didn't banter with them. The three of them left the hospital.
"Brother Xiao, where do you want to go? We'll play with you to our heart's content today."
He Yu and Huang Wei walked with their arms around each other, leaving the hospital, looking much more relaxed.
Xiao Ye smiled faintly, "You guys decide."
He Yu and Huang Wei had originally wanted to treat Xiao Ye to a seafood feast.
However, thinking of Xiao Ye's illness, they hesitated and smiled at him, "How about we go to an internet cafe and have a match?"
Xiao Ye didn't refuse, and they arrived at the internet cafe.
He Yu and Huang Wei sat in front of their computers and excitedly said to Xiao Ye, "Brother Xiao, don't you love playing a certain game?"
"Quick, log in! Today, we brothers will get you the first kill!"
In the past, when he was at school, Xiao Ye occasionally played games with He Yu and the others.
The game where he became a disciple of Bai Xian'er was also recommended to him by these two.
After logging into his game account, Xiao Ye saw the list of disciples Bai Xian'er had frantically applied for.
Seeing He Yu and the others' excited faces, Xiao Ye's expression became relieved.
It was just a game, after all.
His account did not exist solely for Bai Xian'er.
"Let's go."
After joining the room, Xiao Ye adjusted his state.
Even though he hadn't played this type of game for a long time, no matter what position he played, he could carry the entire team.
Seeing Xiao Ye's god-like skills, He Yu and the others went from reluctant to shouting in awe.
Content to be carried along.
A smile flickered across Xiao Ye's lips.
After playing for two hours, He Yu and Huang Wei, one after the other, escorted Xiao Ye out.
"Brother Xiao, where else do you plan to go?"
As they chattered in his ear, Xiao Ye froze as he walked out of the internet cafe.
Xiao Ye's gaze caught a familiar figure, a beautiful girl rushing towards them.
"How about we take you to Century..."
As Huang Wei suggested, he suddenly saw Xiao Ye's expression turn serious.
"Shh!"
Xiao Ye suddenly pulled He Yu and Huang Wei to the side.
They also saw Bai Xian'er and their eyes widened.
...
"Why is Battle God Bai appearing at an internet cafe!?"
The crowd on Blue Star couldn't help but look confused after seeing Bai Xian'er.
Bai Xian'er didn't seem like the type of player who would frequent internet cafes.
"Master..."
Upon hearing that Bai Xian'er had rushed into the internet cafe in the footage, searching everywhere for something,
They became even more bewildered, "Does Bai Xian'er know that Xiao Ye would be coming to the internet cafe?"
"No, Bai Xian'er doesn't know Xiao Ye is her master, so why would she come to the internet cafe to look for someone?"
It was too strange.
The onlookers at the scene were baffled by this scene.
Perhaps only Battle God Bai could give them an answer.
Bai Xian'er felt the scrutinizing gazes, and her attention never left the screen.
She suppressed her grief and explained, "Because Master blocked my contact information, I hired a detective to help me find information about Master's whereabouts."
"When Master logged into his account, the detective called me and told me that the hacker he hired had located Master's game account IP at an internet cafe."
At that time, she had searched for her master like a madwoman.
Bai Xian'er thought she would see her master at the internet cafe, but after searching the entire place, none of the people were him.
The camera she had bought for her master had not yet been given to him.
"Master, where are you..."
Inside the internet cafe, Bai Xian'er cried out in helpless despair.
She couldn't accept being abandoned by her master, as he was the glimmer of light she had tightly grasped after leaving her wealthy life.
"My disciple hasn't returned the money to you yet, and I've become well-behaved and obedient. I've adapted to this impoverished life. Master, please come out?"
"I just want to see you, I just want to see you..."
The entire internet cafe was stirred, but none of the men were her master.
Her long search had ended in vain.
Bai Xian'er cried bitterly in disappointment.
Xiao Ye was watching from outside the internet cafe!
Off-screen.
Bai Xian'er looked at Xiao Ye blankly, not expecting him to be watching her from outside.
Xiao Ye's expression was calm and complex as he listened to her call him Master again and again.
She wanted him to appear so desperately.
If not for all the intervening events, perhaps Xiao Ye and Bai Xian'er might have had a chance.
Xiao Ye gradually contained his emotions.
Forced to live under the suffocating pressure of his family.
Xiao Ye had worked desperately to earn money so he could attend university properly.
Bai Xian'er's daily nagging...
Her expectations and hopes for him.
These were also three years that Xiao Ye couldn't easily let go of.
How could he simply let go?
"What is Bai Xian'er crying about in the internet cafe!"
He Yu and Huang Wei were somewhat surprised. They saw Bai Xian'er crying miserably.
They didn't know what had happened to Bai Xian'er.
"Could she have been dumped and heartbroken?"
He Yu and the others guessed, but in their opinion, Bai Xian'er was reaping what she sowed.
Every villain gets their comeuppance.
They were also surprised that Xiao Ye had stopped and watched for so long outside the internet cafe.
Xiao Ye changed his game ID name.
As he left the internet cafe, he changed his game name to [Forget Myself].
Xiao Ye hoped that Bai Xian'er would forget him.
Their relationship was completely over.
"Let's go,"
Xiao Ye calmly looked up and said to He Yu and the others.
He Yu and the others left with Xiao Ye.
Bai Xian'er was still in the internet cafe, sobbing uncontrollably.
Because she had also seen her master change his name.
"Master, why won't you see me even once?"
Bai Xian'er murmured, "Is it because I'm not good enough, not the way Master likes..."
However, if Master didn't like her,
Why would he be willing to help her?
Bai Xian'er, outside of her memories,
Finally understood.
"I don't deserve to look for Master at all, because I've hurt him so much."
"Master not choosing to see me is already the last bit of gentleness he has shown me."
Her obsession had led her to search for her master for so long, but the conflicts they had created could no longer be resolved.
Even if Bai Xian'er had returned her family to Xiao Ye, was the bullying he suffered at school not real?
Everything was because she had not treated Xiao Ye as a human being before.
His willingness to help her was Xiao Ye's sentiment towards his disciple.
Not towards her, the cruel Bai Xian'er who had hurt him.
"I get it, hahaha, Xiao Ye really shouldn't see me..."
