"The level of understanding between us, who would believe it if I said it was nothing?"
During a brief break in the game, Chen Dahao suddenly asked me, "Tong Tong Zi, if I said I liked the style of your game, would you believe me?"
His voice was soft, yet it detonated in my heart like a bomb.
I was taken aback, unsure of how to respond.
The comments exploded on the screen, filled with "Ahhh!" and "Get together!"
I felt my cheeks burning, my heart racing as if it might stop.
To ease the awkwardness, I stammered, "Brother Dahao, did you take the wrong medicine today? You're just talking nonsense."
He chuckled lightly, "I'm just speaking the truth. But if you don't like it, forget I said anything."
His tone was casual, but it only made my heart race even more.
As the live stream approached its end, the audience began to cheer for us to sing a love song together.
"Sing one! Sing one!"
"The Tong Hao CP must sing!"
"If you don't sing, I'm unfollowing!"
I looked at Chen Dahao for help, and he smiled, saying, "Then let's sing one and satisfy everyone's request."
He chose a sweet duet love song.
As the music played, my heartbeat felt like it was about to break through its limits.
I struggled to control my emotions and sang along with him.
When the song ended, Chen Dahao looked at the camera and said, "Tong Tong Zi, actually this song is what I want to say to you."
My mind went blank with a buzzing sound.
In a fluster, I stammered, "Let's stop here for today, everyone. Good night!"
Then, I quickly closed the Live Streaming, leaving behind a screen full of question marks and screams.
I covered my face, my heart still pounding wildly.
Chen Dahao... what did he mean?
Was he joking?
Or...
Suddenly, my phone vibrated; it was a message from Chen Dahao.
"Tong Tong Zi..."
I hurriedly shut down the Live Streaming and collapsed into my chair.
My heart continued to race, like a little hamster drumming away in my chest.
"Did he... just confess to me?"
I covered my face, feeling my cheeks burning as if they were on fire.
The words Chen Dahao said before the Live Streaming ended kept replaying in my mind: "Tong Tong Zi, actually this song is what I want to say to you."
That song... was a sweet duet.
What did it mean that he chose this song?
I began to recall the moments since I met Chen Dahao.
From being initial rivals to later becoming partners, and now... something ambiguous?
We streamed live together, played games, joked around, and shared happiness.
He always teased me with that lazy tone, yet he supported and encouraged me at crucial moments.
I picked up my phone and scrolled through the chat history with Chen Dahao.
His seemingly joking remarks were actually filled with hints, making my face even redder.
"This guy has been testing me all along!"
At that moment, a message from my best friend popped up: "Tong Tong Zi, what's going on between you and Grandmaster Dahao? The Live Streaming was explosive!"
I hurriedly replied, "Nothing! He was just joking!"
My best friend replied instantly, "Really? Why do I feel like the way he looks at you is a bit off? You silly girl, don’t tell me you don’t feel it!"
Her words pierced through the truth I had been deliberately avoiding, like a needle.
I began to seriously examine my feelings for Chen Dahao.
I had always seen him as a rival, and sometimes I even found his carefree demeanor quite annoying.
But unknowingly, his presence had taken up a significant part of my life.
Every smile, every gesture of his tugged at my emotions.
"Could it be... that I really like him?"
Once that thought crossed my mind, it became impossible to shake off.
I tried to deny these feelings, convincing myself that it was just an illusion, a product of fans’ wishful thinking.
After all, I had always hidden my true identity, afraid of being disturbed by others.
If I were to be with him, could I still keep my secret safe?
I thought about my parents' expectations; they wanted me to lead a normal life, not to become a prominent streamer.
What would they think if I publicly acknowledged my relationship with Chen Dahao?
My heart was filled with contradictions and struggles.
I tossed and turned in bed, struggling to fall asleep.
The figure of Chen Dahao kept flashing through my mind, along with the words he had said to me.
"I can't keep avoiding this! I have to face my own feelings!"
Taking a deep breath, I picked up my phone and sent him a message: "Dahao, I want to talk about today’s live streaming properly."
After hitting send, I anxiously awaited his reply.
As seconds turned into minutes, my heart raced faster and faster.
Finally, my phone vibrated.
It was Chen Dahao's response: "Sure, see you at our usual place tomorrow."
I stared at the words on the screen, feeling a mix of anticipation and anxiety.
I looked forward to seeing him and clarifying everything between us.
But I was also nervous about how to respond to his confession.
