Hiding Behind Her Superficiality

Chapter 183

Fine. I knew he would never be that good.

The people surrounding them covered their eyes as though they were pained. “Go ahead. We’ll pretend we didn’t see anything.”

Elspeth looked sullen. “Carrot, your entire face is practically showing between the gaps in your fingers.”

Carrot chuckled in embarrassment and quickly covered his eyes.

Callum raised his chin. “Look. Hurry up and kiss me.”

Elspeth looked annoyed and embarrassed, but she still leaned forward and kissed him.

“Woohoo! They kissed!” Carrot’s voice sounded exceedingly striking in the quiet environment.

He was a Calysie fan, so witnessing their mutual affection was a bonus.

“Alright, that’s enough. Let’s head inside.”

Elspeth gave Carrot a fierce glare, frightening him so severely that he shrank back slightly. A wave of sadness suddenly filled his heart.

My Goddess sure is fierce.

They entered the training room. The environment inside the training room was extraordinarily bright, which was entirely out of Elspeth’s expectations.

Still, she didn’t let her shock show as she calmly sat in front of the table, turned on the game, and donned a communication headset to chat with them.

They had already chosen the lineup in advance. When she studied the opponent’s lineup, she realized that the opponent had an obvious advantage over them and couldn’t help frowning in response. However, the situation was reversed a few minutes later. The opposition seemed to encounter headwinds, causing them to be steadily pushed back and defeated.

After she won the game, she took off her headset and asked suspiciously, “Was the opposing party a machine? Why were they defeated when they had such a huge advantage?”

Suzy laughed awkwardly. “The opposing party comprises our club members, but their skills may be slightly lacking…”

“Slightly? They were practically sending their soldiers to death for no reason during the 5v5 earlier! We managed to enter their territory in seven minutes! What’s the difference between this situation and a six-point shot?”

Although… what she said seemed to make sense, they finally gained a thorough understanding of her skills at this moment. Hence, they couldn’t help admiring and worshiping her.

“Goddess Elspeth, are you sure you won’t consider joining our club? With your skills, you will have no problem winning every single battle with some training!”

Elspeth scratched her cheek. “The problem is… you can’t beat me. What skills will I learn here?”

Her statement stopped them cold.

She was right. She had easily defeated the number one in their team and could already be considered victorious in every battle.

“In that case, please prepare yourself for the team competition that will be held the day after tomorrow. By the way, Elspeth, do you have anything to say to them?”

She glanced around. Then, she unceremoniously pointed out their weak points to their faces with a smile. “Birdy, you don’t know how to adapt when you’re attacking. It’s like you’re stuck right in the middle of the warpath. Susy, you’re a solid mid-laner. However, your support abilities are too weak. Furthermore, you’re always thinking about how you can kill more enemies and don’t seem to know how to cooperate with your ADC. As for Carrot…”

She observed the look of excitement on Carrot’s face. He was eagerly waiting for her to comment on his performance. Thus, she smiled. “As for you… You walk too slowly. But that is not your fault. It’s simply because you have short legs.”

He was a chubby man with a round body. After he heard those words, he immediately became unhappy.

When he lowered his head in aggrieved silence, she slapped her palm against her forehead and added helplessly, “I was talking about your hero, not you!”

When Kenneth saw that she did not make any comments regarding his performance, he probed suspiciously, “What about me?”

She shook her head. “I don’t know what to say. A wild suicide bomber?”

Suicide bomber… Isn’t that part of the suicide squad?

He compared his battle record with hers. He had died twice during the game. On the other hand, she was not only given the title of ‘Most Valuable Player’ but also held the record for zero deaths.

She truly is a goddess.

It had been a long time since he last met an opponent who was evenly matched or even more skillful than him, so his heart was filled with the excitement of meeting a challenger and a fanatical sense of

worship.

Alas, she was not willing to accompany them during their training. Besides, Callum was waiting outside. He was bound to become sulky if she stayed here for too long.

As soon as that particular thought appeared in her mind, she immediately thought of leaving the training room.

“Goddess Elspeth, why don’t you stay at the club for the next two days? We have everything you need at the club. I guarantee that you will be comfortable here.” When Birdy saw that Elspeth intended to leave after one match, he was naturally reluctant for her to go since they had learned a lot from her after a single game.

Elspeth shook her head. “My boyfriend is waiting outside, so I need to go home…”

“Go home? We will also arrange for food, accommodation, and other basic necessities for your boyfriend. Will that be okay?

She glanced at them and wondered, “Why do you want me to stay here? Isn’t it enough if I show up during the team competition?”

“That’s not the same. Besides, there are many children in the club who are young and energetic. We need your help to teach them a shocking lesson.”

Carrot snickered wickedly, clearly harboring ill intentions.

The corners of her mouth twitched in response, and she couldn’t help thinking that their behavior was very childish.

“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. But I believe that we need to sort out certain aspects of our cooperation. We also wish to match your rhythm in order to increase our chances of success.”

She nodded in resignation. “Fine. But I’m leaving right after the team competition.”

Kenneth breathed a sigh of relief when she finally gave in to their request.

“Good. In that case, let’s resume practice.”

The five of them continued their endless training again.

When the lights came on at night, Elspeth noticed that the sky was getting dark and stretched lazily. “I’m done. I’m tired.”

All of a sudden, she recalled that Callum was waiting for her outside. Her eyes immediately widened in shock.

Sh*t! I forgot about Callum waiting outside!

She hastily ripped off the headphones and left the training room. It was there where she saw Callum sitting on the couch alone as soon as she stepped out the door. He propped his head against one hand and seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

Hmm? Why does he look so delectable even when he is sleeping?

She shook her head, trying to shake away the naughty thoughts in her head. Then, she leaned over, trying to catch a glimpse of his face. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Callum Winthrop,” she called out his name softly. Unfortunately, he was in a deep sleep and did not hear her voice.

She reached out her hand to poke his cheek, but the man in front of her abruptly snapped his eyes open.

In the dark of the night, his black eyes glittered with inexplicable light. It felt as though he was enthralling her by sight alone. She couldn’t help but feel that she seemed to be dragged into the depths of his eyes when she stared into his eyes.

Before she could react to the sudden turn of events, she felt something clasping her hands. In the next moment, she fell into his arms.

“Callum, weren’t you asleep?”

Callum chuckled. “I slept for a while. You were inside for too long. How would I survive if I didn’t sleep the time away?”

His voice was hoarse, indicating that he had indeed fallen asleep for some time.

When she heard those words, she couldn’t help feeling guilty. “I’m sorry. I was in the wrong this time. I forgot about the time when I was playing games.”

His gaze softened considerably when he noticed her taking the initiative to admit her mistakes. “Don’t apologize. Tell me you love me instead.”

His response stumped her, and she didn’t know how to react. Finally, all she could do was raise her head in surprise.

Regardless, his lips abruptly pressed against hers the next moment. His entire personality did a turnabout, causing the possessiveness and tenderness that belonged to her alone to vanish in that instant.

Four men stood trembling in the corner, not daring to make a peep.

“Isn’t this a little inappropriate for children?”

“Shut up! Your voice is so loud that we’ll get caught!”

The four of them quarreled between themselves. When they looked up again, the two people who had been kissing affectionately earlier were standing in front of them. Elspeth, in particular, had a sinister smile on her face.

“Tell me, should I gouge your eyes out? Hmm?”
