Chapter 128
I bit my lip and thought of a simple answer. "KielZie. I’m a fan of your StreamTube videos." Aside from him being a bookworm at day, he’s also a streamer by night. I happen to stumble into one of his stream while I was scrolling StreamTube and since then I started watching him when I don’t have anything to do.
A flicker of surprise passed through his voice when he replied, "How did you know that I am KielZie? I only enabled my mic on."
I continued, "Well, I recognized your voice, and I decided to watch a bit, and I ended up watching all your videos. Sometimes, I also watch you livestream. Don’t forget my username @LiaMeri."
It was true; I had always found his videos entertaining, and his soothing voice was a big part of that appeal.
For a moment, he seemed to freeze beside me, the silence stretching out like a thin thread between us. The air was thick with anticipation, making me wonder what he was thinking.
"Does that mean... You like me?" he stammered out, his voice barely above a whisper. Confusion swirled within me as I processed his question.
I blinked, taken aback by the question. "Of course?" I replied, trying to sound nonchalant. Why was he asking me that? Didn’t he know that it was natural for fans to like their idols? It wasn’t like I was confessing a secret romance or anything.
He went silent again, this time leaving me puzzled. I decided to remove his hand covering my eyes. As I did, I saw him staring at me dazedly, his eyes unfocused.
"Zeke?" I asked softly, waving my hand in front of his face to get his attention.
Slowly, he snapped back to reality, his eyes refocusing on mine. "You... You sure about what you said?" he asked, his voice tinged with uncertainty.
