Chapter 271 Are You Luika

Lucien’s eyes softened, a smile tugging at his lips. “Yeah, I do. She’s my wife now.”
The crowd went wild with cheers, but Kaia’s mind went completely blank.
Was it really her that Lucien was talking about? She was his first love when he was twenty–four? Why didn’t she know that?
When he was twenty–four, she would have been only seventeen. But when on earth did they date?
By the end of the bonfire party, Kaia was still in a daze.
Vanessa invited her to watch the meteor shower that was expected tonight.
Kaia declined politely with a shake of her head. She went back to her tent and rummaged through every memory in her head.
She was sure there was no way she’d had a secret early relationship with Lucien.
As harsh as it might sound, her first love was indeed Alden.
Suddenly, a message from Lucien popped up: [Come to my tent.]

Kaia peeked out of her tent furtively. After making sure no one was around, she dashed into Lucien’s tent.
As soon as she stepped in, Lucien wrapped his arms around her.
“Your tent seems bigger than mine!” Kaia remarked.
Lucien smiled, “Sure it is. I asked them to customize it for me a few days ago. It’s got a king–sized sleeping bag!”
It was quite something to have such a huge sleeping bag in a
tent.
“Alright, spill the beans. What’s this about your first love?” Kaia demanded, trying to look stern as she pointed at Lucien.
Lucien took her hand and gently sucked on her finger, teasing it with his tongue.
Just that one move was enough to make Kaia’s ears turn red.
“Do you remember that game from your sophomore year summer?” Lucien asked.
Kaia’s eyes widened in shock.
“Are… are you Luika?”
“Yes, silly. It’s a combo of our names. How could you not recognize it?”

Kaia was really taken aback.
She’d been a well–behaved girl all her life, the good

granddaughter in her grandma’s eyes and the model student in her teachers‘ eyes. But no matter what she did, she couldn’t win her father’s favor.
Kaia always strived for perfection, just hoping to get a bit of approval from Tobias.
But when she was seventeen, no matter how high her grades were, Tobias never seemed satisfied. That was when she first had a rebellious thought.
So, she spent the whole summer vacation playing an online game instead of studying. She got hooked on it for a whole month.
In the game, Kaia partnered with a player named Luika, who topped the wealth rankings. They rarely spoke–Kaia wasn’t interested in socializing then. She only formed the in–game partnership to complete some couple quests and earn the rare gear rewards.
Kaia remembered that every time she logged in and saw his avatar online, she’d send a message: [Are you there?]
And Luika’s reply was always short and simple: [Yeah.]

Then they’d teleport to the dungeon map and run through the dungeons over and over again.
One day, when Kaia snapped out of it, she uninstalled the game.
The last time she logged in, she typed in the chat box to Luika: [I’m quitting the game. Find another partner.]
After that, she never logged into that account again.
Kaia wrapped her arms around Lucien’s neck. “Did you know it was me back then?”
Lucien’s eyes sparkled with affection. “Yes.”
Well, it made sense since the name was a combination of theirs.
Kaia wasn’t sure. “Did you like me back then?”
As expected, Lucien was firm. “Yes.”
Kaia hugged him tightly and nuzzled his neck. “Why didn’t you tell me? If you had, maybe…”
“Maybe you would have fallen for me first?” Lucien gave a self–deprecating smile. “Kaia, you weren’t even an adult back then. Who knew that the rose I’d been watching for so long would be picked up by someone else in the blink of an eye?”
Just as Allen had said, Lucien lived by strict principles.

But whenever he thought about Kaia, he felt deep remorse for not making an exception for her.
He often wondered if he had shown up before Alden proposed to Kaia, would she have fallen in love with him first?
It was a question that no one could answer, not even Kaia herself.
So, if it hadn’t been for the truth–telling game the day before, Lucien didn’t plan to tell Kaia about this little episode between them.
“Honey, I love you even more today.”
Lucien raised an eyebrow, looking a bit disgruntled. “Only a
little more?”
Kaia closed her eyes, her long lashes fluttering slightly as she kissed him on the lips.
Lucien let her take the lead, enjoying her initiative and the way
she kissed him.
In the tent, the sounds of their passionate embrace were clearly audible, making one blush.
Just as Lucien’s fingers started to touch Kaia’s back, her phone
rang.

Both of them were startled.

Kaia fumbled to take out the vibrating phone from her pocket. The name flashing on the screen was her colleague, Vanessa.
“Hey, Kaia. Why aren’t you in your tent? I was going to drag you out for some photos.”
Kaia stammered an excuse, “Oh, Vanessa. I–I went to the restroom. I’m not feeling well today, so I won’t join you guys.”
Meanwhile, Lucien playfully nipped at Kaia’s earlobe and ran his tongue along the edge of her ear.
Kaia’s breathing became rapid. She pinched her thigh hard to stop herself from making a sound.
