Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Sunflower’s presence provided female gamers with a ray of hope, demonstrating that women could indeed become the top players in competitive games. They had long been subjected to relentless questioning when it came to their gaming skills. “Can women excel in gaming?”
“Do women only play games to find men?”
“Are women’s in-game accomplishments the result of male players’ efforts?” “Women shouldn’t play games. Isn’t gaming a man’s domain?”
These disparaging remarks were like daggers piercing the hearts of female gamers. No matter how much they explained their passion for gaming and their self-earned achievements, their voices fell on deaf ears. Stereotypes about female gamers were deeply ingrained, and defending themselves only seemed to invite more ridicule.
But this time, Sunflower offered a glimmer of hope. A female gamer had proven her worth and was willing to speak up on behalf of other female players.
In this victory, they not only won the match but also the admiration and support of countless female gamers. They affectionately referred to Sunflower as “dear,” expressing their love and gratitude.
As Sunflower observed the messages affectionately calling her “dear,” a genuine smile graced her face.
Xu Yuan playfully remarked, “Seems like praise from the ladies brings you more joy. I praised you so much earlier, and you didn’t smile like this.” Sunflower playfully glanced at him and replied, “It’s good that you’ve noticed.” Xu Yuan, feeling a bit frustrated, grumbled to himself.
Just then, he received a message on his phone from Gu Chen, who said, “I’ll wait for you downstairs.”
Sun Fan was taken aback by Gu Chen’s arrival. Moreover, they were at the Song Family’s mansion, not her rental house. The villa area had many affluent residents, and Gu Chen’s presence could attract undue attention. She hurried downstairs to meet him.
Song Yin hid behind the door, watching her rush out in a hurry, wondering who Song Fan was going to meet.
Upon reaching the street corner, Sun Fan questioned, “Why are you here?”
Gu Chen extended a box and congratulated her, saying, “Congratulations on your victory.”
Sun Fan hesitated to accept the gift, remarking, “This is only the first round. There are more to come. What will you give me if I win again?”
Gu Chen maintained his offer, stating, “Every time you win, I’ll give you a gift.”
Song Fan accepted the box reluctantly and opened it to find an exquisite pistol inside. Though compact, it had remarkable craftsmanship.
She examined the firearm’s details and commented, “This is indeed a fine gun, not far off from my Desert Eagle.”
Gu Chen smiled as he explained, “I had this pistol custom-made by an arms dealer in E Country. It’s crafted using the finest materials. It’s small enough for you to carry discreetly yet packs quite a punch.”
Song Fan couldn’t help teasing, “Most people give gifts like flowers and jewelry. This is surprising.”
Gu Chen produced another box, saying, “How do you know there aren’t any flowers?”
After saying that, he opened the box and took out a bud-like flower, but it wasn’t a real flower. Its entire body reflected a metallic gleam, but every petal was exquisitely crafted, resembling real petals closely.
Gu Chen took the flower out and plucked the leaves from it. The flower instantly bloomed, but Song Fan could tell that it was a weapon.
Song Fan accepted the unique gift and smiled, noting, “The petals may seem delicate, but they’re remarkably durable. They could easily be used as a deadly weapon.”
Gu Chen nodded, saying, “Typically, it’s a decorative hair accessory. But when you remove the leaves, it becomes more lethal than the sharpest of daggers.” Song Fan continued to examine the flower and asked, “Is this gift for me too?” “Of course,” Gu Chen affirmed.
With a grin, Song Fan quipped, “So, that’s two gifts. You’re not planning to give me one for each victory, are you?”
Gu Chen replied, “The gift for the next victory is in the future. What I’m giving you now is what I want to give you. Consider it an appreciation of my gratitude for you saving my life.”
Gu Chen had initially wanted Sun Fan to continue residing in his home, but Song Ting had intervened, prompting him to visit her under the guise of presenting gifts..
