Flirting with her

"As far as I can remember, there was a battle between the female lead and the villainess because of this game thingy, wasn't it?" Thea remarked, wondering about the possibilities.

In the novel, the original Thea was equally talented as Sofia. However appearing as Frio Suilin, Sofia was able to win most of the fan players' hearts. Many girls even firmly stated that they wanted this mysterious person as their future husband, indicating how much they were obsessed with Sofia's skills.

Suilin became popular all over the city and the country as well. This character was able to surpass Bei Sheilin, the main hero too. When Sofia became a hit as Suilin, the original Thea also took a liking to this character and as a result, she investigated the person who controlled Suilin from behind.

After paying a huge amount of money to an experienced hacker, she gradually found out the truth within a not-so-long period of time. In order to stain Sofia's reputation and popularity, she spread the information through the Internet and that news spread like wildfire.

'Girls,

The person you want as your future hubby is actually a girl. Frio Suilin is actually Sofia Rosebush, a seventeen yrs old high schooler. Don't tell me you guys want a girl to be ur husband, k?

Look, how impressive she was to hide this truth for so long just to maintain her popularity for a long time. What a shameless thing! Click the bellow link for further info.

Nevertheless, things didn't go well as the original Thea wanted them to be. Instead of getting her character destroyed, Sofia actually became a star like a celebrity in the entertainment circle. She became the heroine of the shy girls, proving that games didn't only belong to boys and girls also could be big shots in that area.

This unexpected outcome made Thea's blood boil 180 °C in anger. She challenged Sofia through social media. This time, she didn't hide her identity and revealed that she was Drio Ayilin. Coincidently, she also used the same character as current Thea.

Original Thea stated to Sofia that they should compete with each other and see who's the actual and rightful winner. Nonetheless, Thea somehow ended up being the loser, becoming a laughing stock, and adding a black mark to her own reputation.

When our Thea read that part, she couldn't help wondering about Sofia's victory. She honestly couldn't understand why Sofia was able to win that easily. Sure enough, the way authors acted when it came to such scenes, was just too strange and unrealistic.

As she read further and further, she gradually understood that it wasn't the author's mistake. That guy Aaron was the one at fault. He deliberately helped Sofia behind the scenes SECRETLY, proving how powerful and strong their love was.

"Yep, you're right." Siri answered, breaking Thea's reverie.

"What do you want me to do now?" Thea asked lazily.

"Don't tell me that I should compete with her just as the villainess had done. I don't see the benefits from doing so.."

"Are you crazy?" Siri blurted out in disbelief. How could she be that stupid? She really had the guts to dig her own grave!?

"You guys should become best games' buddies. In that way, you can get close to Sofia. I see you are dealing with Aaron very well. But dear host, don't forget that you have Sofia to take care of as well."

Thea rolled her eyes, looking annoyed.

"Okay, I know. You don't have to worry about it. I know what to do."

Siri scoffed in sarcasm. "Without my guidance, you won't even recall this video game trick. Now you have found a way thanks to my intelligence."

Unfortunately, Siri didn't have a chin to lift right now.

Thea smirked. "Then you MUST thank my brother. Without him taking me here, you too won't be able to remind this game part, right Seri?"

Siri: "...." 'Okay, I lost!'

Thea found Sofia's username and she clicked on it dropping a message to her.

Drio Ayilin: 'Hi Suilin! Or should I call u Sofia?'

Frio Suilin: 'Excuse me, Did u hack my account? Who the hell r you? Do you know that those things are illegal? I can sue you for hacking my account...'

Drio Ayilin: 'Whoa! Easy girl.. Am I not your dear brother? Sob..sob..'

Frio Suilin: 'Don't flirt with me.'

Thea's mouth started twitching when she read that message. Did she really flirt with her?

Drio Ayilin: 'Don't worry. I'm not flirting with u. I just want to be ur game partner.'

Frio Suilin: 'Humph, in that case, reveal urself as well.'

Thea smirked. 'Nah, it's boring just letting you know who I am that easily. Let's make it more interesting.'

Drio Ayilin: 'I'm one of ur high school friends. And ur lover as well..'

Sofia's eyes widened when she read that. She knew very well that Aaron wasn't into game stuff. Then who the heck was this person? A guy who had a crush on her? Aaah, so annoying!

Frio Suilin: 'Do u have a crush on me? Don't waste my time if u aren't really talented.'

Thea raised her eyebrows. 'She's too much!'

Drio Ayilin: 'Aren't u being narcissistic? I just meant that I'm ur on-screen lover in the school drama named, 'The childhood memories.'

Sofia's jaw dropped in shock.

Frio Suilin: 'Whaaaat? U r Rajh? I- I mean u are Thea? Thea Adeline? Is that really u Thea???'

Thea chuckled in satisfaction.

Drio Ayilin: 'Yes, it's m..

While she was typing a message to Sofia, A group of grown-up men barged into the game store.

Thea instantly stopped typing as she stood up from her seat, cursing.

"What the hell was that? Do you think of this place as your hom.." Her words stuck in her throat when she saw five giants with heavy guns in their hands.

They were holding guns! If they were just using some weapons like sticks and poles, beating them to death wasn't that much of a hard task to her. But this time, she couldn't move even an inch.

"Sis... They are my loan sharks." Someone's trembling voice sounded near her ear. She looked beside her at the owner of the meek voice. Henry, the arrogant guy who sat far away from her had managed to rush to her side at a massive speed. Impressive!

"Why did you take a loan?" Thea snapped at him in a low voice. It's not that they were poor!

Henry lowered his head in guilt without saying anything.

However, it was useless to discuss this matter right now. They should find a way to escape first.

"We knew that you would come here one day. This store is your favourite one after all, right Mr Henry Adilone?" A man who seemed like the leader of the group, uttered in a hoarse voice.

Thea sneered. "Fool, It's Adeline, not Adilone."

The man gritted his teeth in anger.

"Witchy bitch, who are you to come between us?"

"Sorry for being the third wheel." Saying that, Thea firmly grabbed Henry's wrist.

"Let's run!"

Without wasting a second, she started running towards the exit, dragging Henry along with her.

"Quickly shoot them." The leader yelled loudly behind them.

Hearing him, someone pointed his gun towards the siblings' direction and then...

Bang!
