Lilia might think that Merry was studying hard, but it wasn't quite like that. Merry was currently in her own apartment, sitting at her study table with a miserable face. She was forced by Chris to read through her textbooks. Chris deprived her of sleep before she finished reading it all.

  Merry suspected that Chris might have put her life on purpose like this, because he knew she didn't like reading. It all started with what happened this afternoon, when they were playing online games together. Chris played so badly that Merry mocked him as a 'noob'. But that title joke hurt Chris's self-esteem even more than Merry had imagined.

  The man's face turned fierce like a debt collector and he forbade Merry to play games. Plus, Chris gave her the reading assignment she hated the most. Merry did not accept the punishment that was too severe, but she did not dare to oppose Chris.

  Therefore, Merry was sitting reading in her room at this time while Chris was in the living room. The man leaned back on the sofa with both feet on the table. Chris was busy playing the game online while he kept swearing every time he made a mistake.

  Merry could hear Chris's irritated voice coming from her room. She scowled and silently opened her social media. After Lilia clarified her photo taken by the police car, netizens began to change their opinion. Merry was relieved that everyone stopped accusing Lilia of breaking the law. She put her cell phone back down before getting up from her chair, then peeked into the living room.

  Merry saw Chris playing the game with a very serious expression. Her curiosity made Merry crept out of the room. She stopped behind the sofa and peeked at Chris' cellphone screen over the man's shoulder.

  The man was in the middle of a round and was desperately trying to survive. Then a line of blue sentences appeared in the corner of the screen. The contents of the chat sentence made Merry freeze.

  [Christine_0202]: "Brother Bill, please protect me!"

  Merry blinked, then rubbed her eyes. Did she read that right? Why was Chris pretending to be a girl by changing his name to Christine?! And he's trying to win with the help of more skilled players! Where's his pride as a gamer?!

  When Merry was trying to understand what happened, Chris's teammate replied to the message.

  [Bill_Sgate]: "Take it easy and follow my directions, baby! Take it easy, I will definitely protect you!"

  Merry's patience ran out when she read the reply. She had her hands on her hips and glared at Chris. What was this guy doing while she was struggling to read her book? If Chris didn't intend to watch her, Merry was better off playing games than studying!

  Unfortunately, Chris was too caught up in his game that he didn't notice Merry's presence. The man was determined to master this game at any cost. He didn't accept being called a 'noob' by that little girl earlier!

  The two people were both annoyed with each other, but neither of them was mature enough to talk about it. Finally, Merry returned to her room with a frown on her face. She threw herself on her study chair and glanced out the window

  It was past midnight, so the scenery outside the window was pitch black. The darkness made Merry's face clearly reflected on the window's pane. Her angry face looked back at the young woman.

  Merry immediately turned her gaze to her textbook. She grabbed the book and threw it in the corner of the room. Who gave a damn about this stupid book?! She also wanted to play games!

  Merry was still able holding back against Chris in the game before, but now she had absolutely no mercy! She took her anger out by killing all the female characters on the opposing team, no matter if it was Chris or not!

  As a result, just three minutes after the round had started, Merry had killed Chris' character three times. No matter how many times the man was brought back to life, Merry would continue to hunt him to the end!

  After finishing that round, Merry's mood improved a little. She silently peeked at the living room again. However, she saw Chris type something again. Merry touched her chest, which suddenly felt tight. Why did she feel this way when she imagined Chris close to other people in the game?

  Merry tilted her head and thought for a moment, then she finally decided that she was just annoyed because Chris was pretending to be a girl. If that man wanted to play like that, Merry could do the same!

  She rummaged through her desk until she found headphones. Merry put on the headphones and typed to her teammates, "Ladies and gentlemen, I will communicate using voice, okay!"

  When Merry's four teammates read that, they all cheered to themselves. They could finally hear the voice of a real girl in the game! What kind of rare opportunity is this?!

  Before entering the next round, Merry cleared her throat. She tried to speak in a voice that was deliberately sweetened. After a few tries, Merry's voice turned sweet as honey.

  When the round started, Merry immediately said, "Brother, I need the red buff……"

  The four of Merry's teammates scrambled to answer the young woman.

  "Jeez, her voice is so cute! Am I dreaming?!"

  "Yes, yes, my little sister, I will give you whatever you want!"

  "Little sister, come to me! I'll give you the red buff!"

  "Little sister, one buff is not enough! Here, let me give you more!"

  Merry's words made the four teammates rush towards her. They all seemed to forget that their main task was to guard the tower and fight with the opposing team! The only thing on their minds was to give Merry what she wanted.

  Meanwhile, Chris had goosebumps on his neck when he heard Merry's voice just now. Who was that little girl talking to? Another guy? And why did her voice sound like that? Merry's voice was so sweet that Chris had a hard time controlling his racing heartbeat.

  Chris glanced at Merry's room with a frown. He deliberately did not use sound while playing so as not to disturb Merry who was busy studying. But why did he hear that woman chatting with other people? How about the lesson?

  The man got up from the sofa and headed to Merry's room. When he opened the door, he saw the young woman sitting cross-legged on a chair. A headphone was attached over her ears, while Merry's hands were busy playing with her cellphone. Her textbook was sitting in the corner of the room, as if the young woman no longer cared about her studies.

  Chris's anger had reached his head when he saw the sight, but the climax was when he heard Merry's words.

  "Brothers, you are really great! Will you protect this lousy little sister?" Merry gently asked.

  "Of course!" There was an excited reply from his teammate, "We swear to protect you with our lives!"

  Chris's hand gripped his cell phone so tightly that the glass cracked. How dare this little girl ignore his prohibitions and play games without him knowing?! Chris took several deep breaths to calm himself down. He might do something he would regret if he didn't!

  Chris just put his cell phone on the table and stomped over to Merry. He didn't care about this stupid game anymore!
