Chapter 499: 499
While Qiao Lian was contemplating the matter, her cell phone suddenly rang .
As she reached for it, she saw the number on the screen and walked over to the balcony to take the call .
A very formal-sounding worker’s voice came through the speaker . “How are you? I’m Lot’s official representative . Are you Coach Qiao?”
“Yes, I am . ”
“Your CQ Team has passed the preliminary competition . The team has qualified for the actual competition that will be taking place in three days’ . ”
Qiao Lian’s eyes lit up at once when she heard this . “Great . ”
It was only after she hung up that she realized today was the official announcement of the results .
Using her cell phone, she went to the Lot official website .
It was then that she discovered CQ Team had actually taken the second position in the preliminary round .
And in the top position… was King Team!
Qiao Lian frowned .
King Fighting Team was evidently a strong team . Besides Smiling Tiger, the rest of the team members were not new . Hence, the chances of Smiling Tiger being able to take the field would not be very high .
Such a competitive team would prove to be quite a worthy opponent .
In the days that followed, Qiao Lian was busy as she could be .
She was constantly running between the hospital and the team’s villa . She had little time to occupy her mind with anything else .
On this particular day, she had brought some boiled chicken and wolfberry soup from home to the hospital for Shen Liangchuan .
After drinking a mouthful of soup that Qiao Lian had poured out for him into a bowl, he said, “I’ll be discharged tomorrow . ”
Qiao Lian was a little surprised at hearing this . “Didn’t the doctor say that you’ll need to stay for a few days, until the wound closes?”
Shen Liangchuan put down the bowl and replied, “It’s my body and I have a better idea than the doctor . I’ve called Song Cheng, he’ll be here in the morning to help me with the discharge paperwork . ”
Qiao Lian could not figure out the reason for his insistence, but after thinking for a moment she suddenly remembered: wasn’t the team playing their semifinals tomorrow?
Was Shen Liangchuan insisting on being discharged so that he could go and watch the match with her?
She looked at him steadily for a few moments and finally nodded . “Okay . ”
–
First thing the following day, Qiao Lian went to the hospital to help Shen Liangchuan pack his belongings .
After the discharge paperwork had been completed, she accompanied the newly-recuperated, or more accurately, the yet-to-recuperate Shen Liangchuan to the competition venue .
To avoid being recognized, Shen Liangchuan was well-prepared, completely disguised and not standing out at all in the crowd .
As they had been delayed by the discharge process at the hospital, they arrived a little late for the competition .
By the time they got there, the other teams and coaches were already in position .
Qiao Lian headed for the backstage lounge, after she found Shen Liangchuan a seat among the audience and settled him .
She also walked to the back of the venue and from there, she could see that the audience was huge and almost all the seats were filled .
The crowd was a mass of black against the stage and the ambient lights, noisy and chaotic .
As she stared at this bustling scene and immersed herself in the adrenalin-pumping atmosphere, the thought of Zi Chuan automatically appeared in her mind .
If only he was still alive… If only he was here .
Could they have been professional gamers, sitting in this same place, eight years ago?
As her mind rested on this thought, her lips curled upwards in a bitter smile .
Just as Shen Liangchuan was unable to forget his first love, wasn’t she also unable to forget her Zi Chuan?
She took in a long, deep breath and told herself something .
This match was not just for Shen Liangchuan, and not just for their team’s aspirations, it was also for Zi Chuan .
For Zi Chuan, she had to become the champion in this season’s match!!
