Sugar-Coated Sniper

Sharp-tongued, slow-to-warm, soft girl x wolfish, sweet-faced schemer / a race between wolf and rabbit

19 x 21

The day after the finals, a girl was asleep on the sofa in the team lounge. Her cheek had a red mark like a pressed rice cake, she was hugging a fried-egg pillow, and there was something suspiciously wet at the corner of her mouth.

She looked about eighteen or nineteen.

He turned to ask the team captain, "Who's that?"

"My cousin. She skips class because she hates school, so my mom told her to come help with operations for a few days. She just got hired."

He lowered his head with a soft laugh and turned the ring on his index finger. "What a coincidence."

Half a year ago, in that very spot, he'd held her in his arms and kissed her until she couldn't breathe.

Back then, she'd had red eyes as she called him a pervert.

Back to me again?

Sang Cixue had fallen for a pro player online. She didn't play games and didn't know any professionals, so she thought he was just an ordinary trainee.

After they met, it took only two days for her to be scared off by the menace hidden beneath his gentle exterior.

To avoid being devoured, she ran away, blocked all his contacts, and disappeared without a trace.

Half a year later, she skipped school to travel, but her mom caught her and sent her to work as an operations assistant for her cousin's club, hoping she'd learn how hard work was.

Before she could suffer the hardships of the job, she had to deal with the hardships of an ex.

The league's top sniper prodigy had pale skin, a dusky pink beauty mark beneath his eye, and an unexpectedly towering height of 188 centimeters.

Why did he look so much like that awful ex-boyfriend who could wrap one hand around her waist and loved squeezing her tummy?
