Damon knew about her purchase of the outfit and sneakily took a picture to share in the game's social circle, captioning it: "The little medic looks exceptionally beautiful today, but wearing the medic's exclusive faction outfit is also very likable."
His social media post blew up on their game server.
"I couldn't believe it when I knew he liked me; it felt like a dream. He was really nice, protecting me for a year before he revealed his feelings. Back then, the game just launched a Valentine's quest, and it was only three days away, so I asked him if he wanted to bind our fates together," Eilane shared shyly.
"Wow, so romantic! I can't agree more, and I insist, anyone who doesn't write this as a novel is wrong! No, I must write it myself tonight!" Shaunee couldn't contain her excitement.
That binding lasted for seven years.
During that time, many girls flirted with Damon, who was a big shot in their gaming server. His in-game gear alone was worth an entire house.
"Pretty impressive," Alfie couldn't help commenting.
Kevin was extremely envious of such a fairy-tale romance.
Even Cameron and Xavien felt they were fated, as very few gaming couples actually took their relationship as far as they did.
"You really did something special; how did you start liking her?" Kevin asked Damon.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Damon replied, "I just fell for her after spending time together. She was genuinely enjoying the game. Back then, I was quite into competing for rankings. Meeting someone like her was intriguing."
"The potions she gave away could have earned a lot of in-game currency. Back then, you could sell in-game currency online for real money, but she seemed to really enjoy being a medic and never sold them. I found her quite unique," Damon said, growing more bashful.
Talking about his love life felt like a public execution.
"Speaking of which, the love story between Sean and Abigail is truly legendary," Kevin chimed in with a meaningful smile.
"I refuse to tell it!" Abigail raised her hand quickly, clarifying her stance.
Sean simply smiled. "There's nothing legendary about it. Just don't mess with her, or you'll be sorry!"
"Alfie told me that if I ever get bullied, you could help me, right?" Shaunee clung to Abigail's hand, her intent clear.
Abigail raised her other hand, patting Shaunee's fluffy head. "Of course, one call, and I'll be there to send the bullies flying, from strangers to your husband, Alfie."
"Oh, we're not married yet," Shaunee blushed slightly.
"Hey, you're only concerned about whether we're married, not that she included me in the beating!" Alfie protested.
Abigail's lips curved slightly. "If you bully her, of course, you deserve a beating."
"Oh no, Sean—"
"Don't look at me. I can't beat her," Sean promptly declined.
"What, are you really planning to bully me?" Shaunee reacted with displeasure.
"Dare not, how could I? You're my precious. How could I bully you? In our relationship, it's always you bullying me!" Alfie quickly surrendered.
