Daniel looked up and met William's gaze, changing his words: "Ellie is usually quite busy, I won't trouble Ellie."
Only then did he feel the cold feeling dissipate a bit.
In the class group without the teacher, everyone was discussing Ellie.
Since it was a group privately created by the students, some used real names, and some used usernames.
[Liang Shanbo Beats Ying Tai]: Damn, Ellie directly went to second place this time, and she might go to first place next time.
[lily]: Hahaha, see who still looks down on our class seventeen.
[Lucas]: Speaking of which, is Ellie in this group?
[Adrian]: Just check and you'll know.
[Theodore]: Ellie doesn't seem to be here.
[Lucas]: @Daniel, do you have Ellie's Instagram, hurry up and invite her in.
...
Then many people started to mention Daniel.
Daniel heard his phone ringing non-stop, opened it and saw many people in the Instagram group asking him to invite Ellie in.
Because they didn't dare to mention William continuously.
Daniel almost thought he was being cyberbullied.
"Ellie, they all want me to invite you into the Instagram group, is that okay?"
"Sure."
As soon as Ellie finished speaking, Daniel saw the message in the group.
["." invited "." to join the group.]
The people in the group were quiet for a few seconds.
They were making a fuss here for a while, and it turned out William had seen everything.
[.]: I am Ellie.
The group was once again filled with welcome and congratulations.
Surprisingly, William, who usually never speaks in the group, also sent a message.
[.]: Congratulations
People couldn't figure out the emotions of the big guy, only feeling that Ellie seemed to be a bit special to him, and the two were deskmates.
Ellie replied with a thank you and put down her phone.
Daniel said: "William, William, I'll create a group for the four of us."
"Mm-hmm."
After Daniel created the group, he said: "William, why did you change your avatar?"
"Just changed it this afternoon."
Daniel opened that avatar, the hands in the screen were small, slender and white, William's hands were big, and these small hands were obviously not William's.
He secretly glanced at Ellie's hands.
And then looked at the hands on the avatar.
Confirmed!
They were Ellie's hands.
William looked up at Daniel and said: "What are you looking at?"
"William, are those Ellie's hands in the photo?"
William hummed in affirmation.
"Ellie's hands are so small."
Ellie stretched out her own hand and looked at it, saying: "My hands are not small."
William glanced at her small hand, his hand spread on hers, was almost two lengths longer than hers, he chuckled and said: "Still not small?"
The young man's hands had distinct knuckles, with clean and well-groomed nails, very slender and good-looking.
"I thought my hands were quite big."
...
Coco had been nestled in Ellie's arms.
The four of them were eating hot pot, and it kept rubbing against Ellie with its head, and Ellie would rub its head from time to time.
William said: "I'll hold it and feed it some food."
But Coco stubbornly stayed in Ellie's arms and wouldn't come out.
Daniel couldn't help but laugh: "It's quite clingy to Ellie."
William glanced at Coco and didn't say anything.
How did he end up with such a little green tea spirit.
...
After a hot pot meal, it was already past two in the afternoon.
Daniel, feeling stuffed, leaned back in his chair and said: "I'm so full."
Hao Ming looked at him: "Clean up the table and it will help digest."
"You don't have to tell me."
Ellie wanted to help, but William said: "No need, we can clean up, you feed Coco, the cat food and cans are on the shelf."
...
After cleaning up.
All four of them nestled on the sofa.
"William, Ellie, do you want to play games?"
Ellie hesitated: "Games?"
Daniel spoke up: "It's the game 'Honor of Kings', do you play?"
Ellie shook her head: "I don't know how to play."
"It's okay, let William teach you."
Ellie looked at William, and William chuckled: "If you want to play, I'll teach you, if you don't want to play, that's fine too."
"I'll download one first."
William saw her eagerly waiting for the download and threw his phone to her, saying: "You can play for a while and wait."
"Okay."
William propped his chin and watched her play the match-3 game.
After the game was downloaded, William logged in with his account for her and said: "Play with my account first, otherwise, you'll have to do the newbie task."
"What about you?"
"I'll play with a secondary account."
Ellie looked at the array of heroes and immediately took a liking to Xiao Qiao. She said to William: "I'll play this one."
Xiao Qiao doesn't have much operational difficulty, William simply explained the operations to her and then said: "Try a game?"
Daniel excitedly said: "Match or rank? Or shall we 2v2 in a private room?"
William looked at Ellie and whispered: "Do you want to play in a private room and beat them?"
"I don't know how to play."
"It's okay, I'm here."
Ellie nodded at William.
Daniel watched the two whispering secretly, curious about what they were saying.
William said in a light voice: "Let's play in a private room."
Daniel excitedly said: "Okay, okay, then Mason and I will be together."
Just a few minutes into the game, Daniel's Dian Wei was sent flying by Ellie's Xiao Qiao.
Daniel: ?
Didn't Ellie say she didn't know how to play?
A few more minutes passed.
Daniel watched his hero fall and fell into contemplation.
Coincidence, it must be a coincidence.
A few more minutes later.
Daniel watched his hero fall again, and he couldn't believe it as he said: "Ellie, are you sure you don't know how to play?"
Ellie looked up and seriously said: "I don't, it's my first time playing."
Daniel: "..."
He was silent for a while and then said: "Okay."
On the other side, William had been chasing Hao Ming relentlessly.
Daniel was just about to ambush Ellie in the grass when he was picked up by William's Han Xin.
He hadn't reacted to when William had come over, Ellie's Xiao Qiao sent him flying, and then a fan hit him dead.
Daniel looked at his darkened avatar again.
He began to doubt himself.
Perhaps because he had ambushed Ellie, William had been chasing and killing him afterwards, making him not dare to even come out of the defensive tower.
William directly killed through the tower. (The meaning of killing through the tower is to kill him directly inside the defensive tower)
Daniel looked at the exploded crystal, and the score was 21:1.
That 1 was because Ellie didn't know and entered the defensive tower by herself.
Daniel looked at his phone, then at Ellie, and said: "Ellie, are you sure this is really your first time playing?"
Ellie said: "Yes."
Daniel: "Maybe this is a natural talent player."
Ellie said: "No, no, it's easy to remember the three skills."
Daniel: I'm not talking about whether you can remember the skills or not, you can always send me flying, aren't you a natural talent player?
William looked at Ellie and whispered: "Little teacher is really amazing, indeed a natural talent."
