An Encounter With Ley

Jay placed the phone nearby, pointing at him as he hyped up the viewers. 

Then, he sat down beside the man in a hoodie and looked at him. 

With a smile, he said, "Please go easy on me!"

The person wearing a hoodie then turned to Jay and was stunned. 

"Jay?"

Unexpectedly, a female voice came out from behind the face mask. 

And it was still a familiar voice to Jay. 

Jay snapped his head to the person wearing a hoodie with surprise. 

"That voice, Ley?!"

Taking off the mask, the face of Ley was revealed. 

After confirming that it was indeed Ley, Jay asked, 

"What are you doing here? Are you by yourself?"

Ley nodded, "Yeah, I just went out to relax on my own."

"Is that so…"

After a very short exchange, the two fell into a silence and the atmosphere grew awkward. 

At this time, someone suddenly tapped Jay's shoulder. 

Jay looked and it was one of the gamers who were watching. 

"Uhh, are you going to play or…?"

Hearing that, Jay realized that he's still in front of the Tekken arcade. 

What's more, everything happening right now is being broadcasted to all of his viewers. 

There's no need for him to even guess.

Everyone will probably use this as a topic for a discussion. 

Anyway, Jay doesn't need to pay attention to that right now. 

Currently, what he should do is focus on what's in front of him.

"Ah, yeah, I will play, sorry, sorry." Jay said. 

Then he turned to Ley, saying, "Then, let's play?"

Ley nodded and the two of them turned their eyes back to the game screen. 

Anticlimactically, the battle didn't even last for a long time. 

For some unknown reason, Ley showed prowess that is much higher than before. 

It was to the point that Jay didn't even manage to do anything and was beaten by combos for consecutive rounds. 

In the end, Jay could only accept defeat and stand up.

He looked at Ley, smiled and said, "You're really good at games. I didn't know that you're even good at this kind of combat game though."

Back when they were still with each other, the two of them actually bond together through games. 

To be specific, first person shooter games.

In those games, Jay can say that Ley truly excels.

Hearing Jay's words, Ley smiled, "Thank you."

Jay smiled back and said, "Yeah, I'll go first and look for other games to play. You enjoy yourself here."

Jay grabbed his phone, turned around, and started walking around. 

Ley stared at his back for a while before she turned her eyes back to the game. 

… 

Walking around the arcade aimlessly, Jay's mind seems preoccupied. 

And this was immediately noticed by the viewers in his livestream room. 

[Jay, what are you thinking about?]

[He looks like he's in a daze. I wonder what's on his mind.]

[Hehehe, do you guys even have to think about it? It's pretty easy to see. It's that girl!]

[That's right, hahaha! It appears that Jay and that girl called Ley had quite some emotional attachment, don't they? Hehehe!]

[What?! No! My Jay is not for anyone else other than me!]

[What do you mean by that, upstairs? Jay is mine!]

[You two, stop arguing, Jay can only be mine.]

[Sisters, stop stop, let's not fight each other. Can't you see that we're all in a predicament here? What we should be doing is unite with each other and fight against outsiders!]

[That's right! The sister upstairs got it well thought out. Now, let's unite and fight outsiders!]

[...]

The female viewers on the livestream started another commotion and the male viewers could only stay on the side, looking at them speechlessly. 

Once again, they realized how much the female friends can dominate this livestream room. 

At this time, Jay also noticed what was happening. 

"You guys, you're talking nonsense here."

"Ley is only a friend, okay? Nothing else."

But hearing his words only became fuel to the fire. 

[Hehe, why does it look like you're sad that she could only be a 'friend' then?]

[Jay, as a fellow man, I know how you feel. *snicker*]

[Oh, Jay. Don't be sad, man. You have us here with you. *smirk*]

… 

Looking at the teasing comments from the male viewers, Jay smiled wryly. 

On the other hand, after seeing the comments of the male viewers, the female viewers started attacking them. 

In general, what they are doing is denying Jay's attachment to Ley. 

Seeing this, Jay thought of something and looked at the screen playfully. 

Snickering, he said, "Hehe, see that, even the female friends in our livestream room are defending me. You guys are just, tsk tsk."

The faces of the male viewers behind the screen turned black after hearing Jay's words. 

They can clearly feel just how the tables have turned at this time. 

However, there's nothing that they can do in this situation. 

After all, you can't reason with an unreasonable girl, right? 

Much more a group of it! 

In the end, they could only retreat and patiently wait for their next chance to fight back. 

After the short playful interaction between Jay and his viewers, he went around the arcade and played more games while chatting with them. 

Just like that, time passed by and the tokens on Jay's hand were all used. 

"Well, that's it, my tokens are all used up. That means it's about time for me to leave."

Then, Jay started looking around, searching for Jean and his parents. 

Unexpectedly, before he even found his parents, a figure wearing a hoodie came into his view. 

It was Ley. 

At this time, she also looked in his direction and their eyes met. 

Jay just smiled at her and was about to continue looking for his family. 

However, Ley started walking towards him which made him pause. 

'Hmm? Why is she coming here.'

Jay looked around to see if there's anything here for Ley to come, but didn't see any. 

After all, he's in a corner of the arcade right now and there's really nothing here other than a broken game machine. 

Raising an eyebrow, Jay thought, 'Is she really coming for me?'
