Chapter 205: Back to the Basics
Inside the car, Ethan glared at his cousin with a mixture of embarrassment and exasperation.
"There was no need for that," he said, though his voice carried more amusement than genuine anger.
Noah laughed softly. "Come on, admit it—you enjoyed watching their faces when you got in."

"I mean, you are going to be one soon, from your streaming hustle." Noah teased.
Ethan rolled his eyes at but couldn’t help but hope that his cousin’s words would become true.
As they drove toward Ethan’s house, his cousin’s curiosity about the earlier day’s events finally overcame his embarrassment about the school spectacle.
"By the way," Ethan said, his tone shifting to genuine interest, "my team has been going crazy trying to figure out how you got so good at the game so quickly."
Noah raised an eyebrow while keeping his eyes on the road. "Oh?"
