Having said that, Quinn immediately used the cover around her and charged toward the enemy. 

Julius watched Quinn’s figure intently. Even in the midst of their game, he didn’t want to be separated 

from her. 

If there was one regret that lingered in his heart, it was that he hadn’t enlisted when she had. He hadn’t been able to stand alongside her as a comrade–in–arms, to be someone she could rely on when danger loomed. But he hoped that at least in the game, he could do just that. 

Julius rushed forward, while enemies continuously surrounded him. 

Quinn called out to Laura, “You guys go ahead and get the mission done! I’ll hold them back!” 

After all, she didn’t have any missions to complete, so it didn’t matter if she ended up in a draw with those enemy players in the game. 

“Okay!” Laura was very decisive. While Quinn was holding off the enemy’s attack, she and her three teammates bypassed the opponent’s line of fire and headed straight for their mission objective. 

In the heat of the moment, Quinn went all out. Alone, she faced off against a horde of enemy players, unleashing a torrent of attacks. 

Those players went on the offensive, launching bullets and grenades relentlessly. It was as if they’d woven a net of fire that was closing in on Quinn. 

She was struggling to buy time, and finally, she heard Laura’s voice. “All right, mission accomplished!” 

Quinn heaved a sigh of relief, realizing that the ammunition she brought wouldn’t last much longer. It seemed inevitable that she and her enemy players would end up destroying each other. However, out of the blue, the enemy players near her started falling one by one. 

Quinn was stunned. Almost immediately, she heard gasps of surprise from Laura and the other three 

teammates. 

“Quinnie, is Julius really a newbie who’s never played this game before?” 

“Wow, that’s pretty intense!” 

“This guy’s not even human!” 

Quinn looked toward Julius, noticing he was handling the gun she had previously given him, designed for beginners. He was firing it off, shot by shot. 

The hits were incredibly accurate, all striking critical spots. 

She had seen him shoot at the range before and knew he was an excellent marksman. But this was their first time playing this sort of game. The fact that he could attack so fiercely genuinely took her by surprise. 

When the surroundings were finally clear of adversaries, Quinn stared at her phone screen. Julius was controlling his avatar, slowly approaching her in the game. Then, his voice filled her ears. 

“Even in the game, I don’t want anything to happen to you.” 

In an instant, Quinn felt her heart give a fierce thump.

Logging off the game, she said with her cheeks slightly flushed, “All right, it’s getting late. You should rest. I’ll head back to my room now.” 

“Wait!” Julius grabbed Quinn’s hand. 

“What’s wrong?” 

“Did you really go to the bar with Laura to pick up handsome guys back then?” Julius, sitting on the couch, tilted his head slightly and stared straight at Quinn. 

Quinn’s face turned a bit red. “Why are you asking this? Laura’s just talking nonsense.” 

“Really? So, you guys weren’t at the bar checking out handsome men?” 

Quinn remained silent. Well, to be precise, we were checking out handsome men at the bar back then. Laura had even invited several well–known young men from the bar to join us in the private room for drinks and games. 

Of course, it was Laura who was drinking and playing drinking games. I merely observed from the sidelines. 

“I guess you were,” Julius muttered, seeing that Quinn was silent. “Did someone catch your eye back then? Were those men more attractive than me?” 

“No way!” Quinn exclaimed. “That happened ages ago. I’m heading back to my room now.” 

However, Julius was still firmly holding her hand, showing no signs of letting go. 

“Did someone not catch your eye, or none of those men were more attractive than me?” 

Quinn was exasperated. He wouldn’t let her return to her room easily without an answer. 

“They didn’t catch my eye, and you’re more attractive than all of them.” 

A hint of a smile finally appeared at the corner of Julius‘ lips. “Do you really think I’m attractive?” 

“Yeah,” Quinn responded, speaking the truth. 

Honestly, she couldn’t even remember what those guys Laura had chosen at the bar looked like. It had been right after Laura’s breakup, and she’d dragged her out to find someone better. 

The whole time, her mind had been on Laura, not the men. 

“Does that mean I caught your eye?” Julius asked. 

Quinn was at a loss for words. Is that even a question? Who would honestly claim Julius didn’t catch their eye? 

Julius subtly raised an eyebrow, still awaiting her response. His sharp brows and captivating eyes were full of anticipation. 

Because she was standing and he was seated, he had to tilt his head up to look at her, revealing the smooth, graceful line of his neck. It was effortlessly captivating.
