“He’s not worthy of it. A gamer, and he dares to date a violinist?”
“Does your sister have any other siblings? Aww, I want to have a sweet romance too!”
“……”
On stage, Mu Wan could see the complex gazes from the four people in the audience. At first, she found it a bit strange that they kept glancing at Kuang Ye. Did they know him?

—

After the performance, the results were announced immediately, and Mu Wan successfully advanced, as expected. This was just a small competition, attracting mostly amateur violinists. Although Mu Wan hadn’t practiced much in a while, she was still a professional. After learning about the schedule and format of the next round, Mu Wan slung her violin case over her shoulder and headed out to meet up with Kuang Ye.

Just as she reached the door, she bumped into someone coming in. Mu Wan was about to apologize when the girl spoke first, with a pleasant surprise.

“Mu Wan, it’s really you! I saw you when I came to sign in earlier and thought I had mistaken someone else.”

Mu Wan looked at her in confusion. “You are?”

The girl quickly introduced herself. “Hello, I’m Chu Xiao Yin, a first-year student at the S City Music Academy. I’m also majoring in violin. Our teacher often uses your recordings as examples for us.”

Although Mu Wan had been quiet for a year, she was still a prominent name in the music world a year ago. A violin prodigy, someone blessed by the music gods, with endless praise and recognition. Mu Wan didn’t expect to be recognized right after her comeback.

Worried that Kuang Ye might have been waiting outside for too long, she politely declined to chat further and left quickly.

Chu Xiao Yin watched her leave with some regret, muttering to herself, “I was hoping to add her as a friend on WeChat…”

Coming out from the backstage, Mu Wan immediately spotted Kuang Ye. A bright smile appeared on her face as she quickly walked toward him.

“How did you know I had the preliminary round today?” Mu Wan was a bit concerned about her image, so she hadn’t told anyone, worried that things might not go well.

Kuang Ye naturally took her heavy violin case from her.

“I checked it out. There’s only one violin competition at the music hall recently.”

Mu Wan raised an eyebrow. “What if you got it wrong? Wouldn’t that be a wasted trip?”

Kuang Ye responded casually, “Then it would be a wasted trip.”

Mu Wan’s lips curled upward. Who wouldn’t like someone who goes to such lengths for them?

Behind them, near the huge English-style carved stone pillar, the four main players from ST team couldn’t help but make noise.

“Wild God Ye is so considerate, just like that, he took the violin case. He must be used to carrying bags for her.”
“What are they talking about? Why is Sister-in-law smiling so happily?”
“I don’t know. It’s a bit close to the square over there. It’s easy to get noticed if we get too close.”

Ahead, Mu Wan asked Kuang Ye, “Are those your friends?”

Kuang Ye, puzzled, replied, “Those?”

Mu Wan pointed her thumb over her shoulder, indicating the spot where a few of the team members were hiding. She had noticed them from the stage earlier and had been looking for them as she came out. There were only a few places where they could hide, so she spotted them right away.

Kuang Ye turned around. At that moment, Shen Lele was peeking out. The two of them locked eyes immediately.

Oh!

Shen Lele jolted, quickly pulling his head back.
Kuang Ye: “…” The vein on his temple twitched as he gritted his teeth. “Still not coming out?”

Behind the stone pillar, everything was silent as a chicken.

Kuang Ye spoke with a low voice, “If you don’t come out, go back and train. You’re not allowed to rest until every hero in your position is ranked at King level.”

Shen Lele immediately popped out first. “Captain, are you human? Have you counted how many heroes there are in the mid-lane? If you want them all at King level, you might as well kill me and get it over with.”

Kuang Ye: “Really? I see that you all seem pretty free.” He glanced at the stone pillar. “Is it just you?” He hadn’t forgotten that Mu Wan had said “them” earlier.

Shen Le didn’t hesitate to sell out his teammates. “Of course not, Jin Ge, Xi Ge, and Yu Ge are all here.” We’ll die together if we have to.

The teammates behind the pillar were still pushing each other, trying to sneak away unnoticed.

“…” This little rascal.

In the end, everyone sheepishly came out one by one. Xu Yijin, being more mature, was the first to react and politely addressed Mu Wan. “Hello, I’m Xu Yijin, the support of ST. Sorry about today. A few of the kids in the team were fooling around, and we disturbed you and the captain.”

The others quickly followed suit and introduced themselves.
“I’m Shen Le, the mid-laner of ST.”
“I’m Jiang Shixi, the marksman of ST.”
“I’m Jiang Yu, the tank of ST.”

Mu Wan smiled at everyone and glanced at Kuang Ye. “Hello, I’m Mu Wan, Kuang Ye’s fiancée.”

The mouths of the ST players dropped open, and they simultaneously exclaimed, “Fiancée???”

Not just a girlfriend, but they were already at the stage of talking about marriage. The captain had hidden this too well.

Kuang Ye smacked Shen Le on the forehead as a warning. “You’re making so much noise, the roof’s going to collapse.”

He turned to Mu Wan. “I’ve reserved a spot at Zui Xian. I was going to congratulate you on advancing, but I hope you don’t mind me bringing these four extra people along?”

Mu Wan smiled and shook her head. “Of course not.”

So the six of them happily headed to the restaurant.

Shen Le was always the one to ask questions. Having just been warned by Kuang Ye, he curiously approached Mu Wan and asked, “Sister-in-law, how did you and the captain meet? Did he chase you, or did you chase him?”

“Do you play games? If you do, we can add each other as friends and play together sometime.”

Behind them, Xu Yijin sighed. “This silly kid, when he hears Mu Wan’s name, doesn’t he think for a second? She’s already playing sweet duo games with the captain. Does he still need to ask if she plays games?”
