Purple Fairy did not say a word.
She widened her eyes, finding it hard to believe what was going on.
Qiao Lian was the famous Xiao Qiao, and she was currently the female eSports caster Forget Chuan... Didn’t Sun Linan know all that?
What the hell!
She grimaced, feeling that the next thing she needed to do was to hand in her letter of resignation.
At the venue.
Qiao Lian had returned to the auditorium.
The host was speaking on stage, narrating the hardships that CQ had faced during their journey to where they were now.
His touching words made all the fans tear.
Led by Su Penghao, Qiao Lian walked down the side of the auditorium and stood waiting by the stage to receive the award.
At that mont, Shen Liangchuan was there too.
Although his face was covered by his mask and sunglasses, his tall and striking fra still attracted much attention.
The mont Qiao Lian walked up, his gaze was fixed on her.
She looked back at him.
After a mont, she smiled.
Shen Liangchuan’s expression, however, was dark and hidden in depth.
His gaze fell on her hand, that was stuffed into her pocket. He could see that it was still trembling uncontrollably.
Shen Liangchuan felt as though sothing heavy was crushing his chest, making it hard for him to breathe. And that stabbing pain in his heart...
His thoughts went back to eight years ago.
The team had been established. He just had to wait for them to turn up during the holidays, so that they could train together and take part in the competition.
Suddenly, a call from her. She said she wanted out.
At that point, he had been truly upset with her.
Although eventually, he felt that her withdrawal was not out of choice. After all, having to withstand pressures from one’s parents to continue gaming was not sothing that everyone could do.
Like himself. Hadn’t he been kicked out of the family by his father for the sa reason?
Hence, all these years, even though he had learnt to let things go and not to take things too seriously, regrets remained nevertheless over the fact that Xiao Qiao had not made good on her word at that ti.
Until this mont... This day...
He finally understood that it was because she was injured.
His Xiao Qiao had injured her hand and could no longer play gas. And he had been unaware of it, or when it had happened.
When she had called him at that ti, she must have been sad and devastated.
While he, on the other hand, had waited impatiently for an explanation that didn’t co quite as imdiately as he expected, before he hung up on her.
What she would have needed the most at that ti would have been having him by her side, supporting her.
And then a scene flashed in his mory suddenly.
An eighteen year old girl, hugging her knees and crying quietly in a corner.
That devastation and desolation... All he wanted to do was to hold her in his embrace and tell her it was alright.
At this point, the host on stage was starting to make the announcent, “And now, let us invite the mbers of CQ Team to co up on stage and receive their award!”
After these words were spoken, Su Penghao, The Godfather, The Deputy Godfather and Lonely Peerless walked up to the stage.
Qiao Lian stood on the spot for a mont, but she saw that the four n on stage had suddenly turned around to look at her.
Because of Shen Liangchuan’s identity, he was unable to appear before the cara.
But that wasn’t the case with Qiao Lian.
It was a mont of great honor and the team wanted Qiao Lian to share this mont with them.
She could read this from the expression on their faces.
Qiao Lian’s lips curled upwards in a smile.
She strode up to the stage.
By then, Sun Linan and Purple Fairy had returned to the auditorium.
Sun Lian’s jaw dropped open with surprise the mont he saw Qiao Lian on stage, receiving the award. He froze on the spot.
