After forming the club, the club’s professional eSports team would need to train intensively.
The team that they formed randomly online had to foster their teamwork in real life and start group training.
This one idea of hers had given him something to strive for that entire summer break.
Zi Chuan was busy with the club’s matters. The few people he worked with often were mostly students.
Playing video games was seen as a distraction from their studies by parents, so everyone was in a dilemma.
That was the most difficult and tough period of time for Zi Chuan. He even fought with his family because of this.
She showed her support, “Zi Chuan, you still have me. This is our club. I won’t leave you.”
She had thought that she would stay with him until the end no matter what. She had even began to imagine that both of them would become the “Batman and Catwoman” of the gaming scene, as they conquered the world after they got together.
However, she could not have ever thought that the development of the club would be much faster than she expected.
He called her. “My Royal Princess, the club has been established and is ready for your inspection.”
At that time, she had been filled with pleasant surprise and bitterness.
Pleasant surprise because they could finally meet in real life, after close to two years of online dating.
Bitterness…
Tears started rolling down her cheeks all of sudden. “Zi Chuan, I’m sorry. I can’t be in the club anymore.”
She had ended up being the first person to betray him in the team.
As soon as she said that, he became silent.
After a while, he simply hung up on her.
Even though she had wanted to give an explanation, she knew that at this moment, any explanation would be futile.
Zi Chuan ignored her for a whole week. Neither did he reply her messages, nor did he pick up her calls.
He did not even go online on the game.
At that point in time, she had thought her and Zi Chuan were over and Zi Chuan would never forgive her.
Until he finally returned her call a week later.
In the call, he remained silent for a long time before explaining, “Something happened in my family. My phone ran out of battery and I didn’t have the chance to charge it.”
She immediately started crying and yelling at him, “I thought you did not want to talk to me again!”
“… Stupid.”
His mood was very bad, so Qiao Lian could not help but say carefully, “Since it’s summer break, I’ll go see you to Beijing.”
After remaining silent for very long, he replied, “Ok.”
_
Qiao Lian’s gaze focused more while she tried her best to recover her thoughts from the memories.
Although Zi Chuan was petty and had always said mean things, he had never been one to bear grudges.
Hence, it had never crossed her mind that Zi Chuan would not forgive her and give her a hard time.
She had not said her reason for not being able to be part of the club because she had wanted to explain it to him face-to-face.
However, never could she have thought that she had lost the chance to explain since the start.
So, had Zi Chuan actually heartlessly dumped her because he was angry over this matter?
Qiao Lian looked down while she stretched out her right hand from under the blanket suddenly.
That hand was fair and flawless.
But after holding it there and staring at it for five minutes, that hand began to tremble uncontrollably.
A sense of helplessness surged in her, causing her to put away her hand.
She liked games. She loved games.
However from that day onwards, she had rarely played any games.
Throughout these years, she had regretted a lot.
She had regretted not standing by Zi Chuan’s side eight years ago.
But now, she wanted to help Shen Liangchuan.
Even though they would eventually separate.
