Chapter 861 - The Truth about Eight Years Ago! (9)
[Zi Chuan: Hahahahaha! We exchanged accounts today! After you invited me, I was going to bring him in, but you started the game.]
Qiao Lian: …!!
She knew that those two would get together to game on the weekends.
They only had to exchange seats to switch accounts.
Qiao Lian was livid at that point.
She had wanted to ditch Soul Fighter to enjoy a bit of couple time, but she had unexpectedly caught the wrong person.
When she thought about these things from the past, Qiao Lian broke into a smile.
The three of them had formed a close bond.
Even though she argued with Soul Fighter everyday and would rebuke him all the time, she held him close to her heart as a good friend.
Eventually, they decided they wanted to start a gaming team.
They wanted to turn gaming into a profession, but no one else apart from Soul Fighter would stand by them unconditionally. He was there supporting them and forging the way with them with no questions asked.
Qiao Lian sighed deeply.
She lowered her body and stared steadily at Soul Fighter’s picture.
She had lost track of time before she finally heard footsteps approaching behind her.
She turned around and saw the captain. He was in a black coat, striding towards her and lifting up dust with each step he took. Upon seeing her, he smiled and said, “Xiao Qiao, sorry to have kept you waiting! The meeting ran half an hour late.”
She shook her head and replied, “It’s ok. I’m just thankful that you took time amidst a busy schedule to meet me.”
The captain turned and glanced at the tombstone.
Then he turned back to look at Qiao Lian and asked, “You’re…”
He recalled how Xiao Qiao had cried when she found out about Zi Chuan’s death. The questions that he had been carrying around in his mind finally found an outlet. “At that time, the three of you disappeared at once from our competitive team. I thought you bowed out because of Zi Chuan’s accident. But… you didn’t know about the accident?”
Qiao Lian nodded.
The captain looked as though he had more questions. But when he spoke, the following words came out, “Xiao Qiao, it’s all in the past. You’re now Best Actor Shen’s wife. So just focus on your life together from now on. If he doesn’t treat you well, let me know and I’ll ensure justice for you!”
The captain still had the same sense of justice, like in the past.
Qiao Lian smiled and asked, “Captain, I wanted to find out more about what went on between Soul Fighter and Zi Chuan. Would you happen to know?”
The captain exclaimed, “Weren’t the three of you the closest? I may not even have any information on the things that you wish to know.”
Qiao Lian looked at him and asked, “At that time, didn’t we say that we wanted to set up a eSports team? Did you know anything about this?”
Looking bewildered, the captain shook his head and said, “When Zi Chuan invited me to join the official team, I had to decline. Firstly, 0my parents would never have agreed, and secondly, I knew my limits. I was too far behind and could have never reached the level you guys were playing at. I wasn’t suited to play professionally. What happened to you guys in the end, I had no idea.”
Qiao Lian hung her head in despair and said, “I understand. But captain, do you know anything about Soul Fighter? For example, anything about his family?”
The captain seemed to be at a loss but said, “This… Soul Fighter’s parents passed away when he was 15. So he wandered around in Beijing, taking his little sister along with him. At the time, when we used to play together, he wasn’t going to school but working. I only know that he had a little sister who was in school, and not much else besides this.”
