Chapter 24 Part 1
Qianxi rushed back to KeyArena as fast as she could. KG and R.Y had already left the stage. By the time she got there, another match between two other teams had already begun. As she pa.s.sed through the audience, she could hear their discussion of the previous match.
“Could it be that Wind was under too much pressure from all the comments online that he made so many mistakes today? They could make a highlight video of all the mistakes he had made today.” “Didn’t they call him a genius? He hasn’t made so many mistakes ever since he started playing professionally?” “He’s probably plagued by a guilty conscience.”
The forums online were also exploded with comments. Almost all KG fans seemed to be saying, “Thanks Wind for being generous.”
What was going on……
Would Cheng Feng really lose deliberately just because he felt sorry that his teammate hurt Cheng Yang?
Meanwhile, the winning team, KG, didn’t have time to pay attention to all the fuss around R.Y. They were discussing strategy for the next match against Insanity in the resting area.
The compet.i.tion was a group tournament, beating R.Y was just the beginning. If they lost the next two matches, they would still be eliminated. They really wanted to beat Insanity especially since they had lost one match to that team during the wild card phase. They happened to be in the death group; luckily they had beaten the third ranked team, but there was the number one team, Crystal, in the same group as well. The match against Insanity was especially important to KG.
Li Cang anxiously paced up and down the rest area. With a boss who always drew the death group, it was difficult to survive……
Wei Lai knelt in front of Cheng Yang, “Cheng Yang Ge, is your hand alright?” Cheng Yang kept trying to avoid the topic.
But how could they avoid the topic? When Qianxi came back, Wei Lai’s eyes brightened up, “Qianxi jie, you’re back finally. Come take a look quick, Cheng Yang Ge’s hand is hurting.”
“What happened?” She put down her purse, walking towards Cheng Yang, and forcefully checked his wound as Cheng Yang tried his best to resist.
The finger was red and swollen. It was sickly warm when she touched it. He was definitely not in a state to continue playing.
However, Cheng Yang turned his back to the others and put his finger over his mouth, “Don’t say anything……”
Qianxi was in a difficult position and glanced at Xu Jimo’s direction.
Cheng Yang held her arm and, for the first time in his life, said seriously, “Young lady boss, I’m begging you.”
The one thing she couldn’t stand was when people looked at her with hopeful eyes, it was impossible for her to refuse. She compromised, “Then……if it starts hurting badly, you have to say something right away. It’s your own hand, it’s not something you should ignore.”
From Xu Jimo’s point of view, he saw the two were whispering to each other. Qianxi was like a loving Nightingale overseeing a patient, her eyes were squinted into a soft line.
She was like a beam of ray inside the trenches, the rest area, filled with nervous young men and the smell of battle.
Xu Jimo finished his a.n.a.lysis on the whiteboard and gathered everyone, “Cheng Yang?”
Cheng Yang lowered his voice to thank Qianxi, “Thanks, young lady boss,” before he turned to join in the discussion.
She hoped…...there would be a miracle.
Since they had won the first match, the second and third matches shouldn’t be a problem either, right?
Qianxi actually resented the way she currently felt, she was helpless at the sidelines. She felt as if her existence was meaningless. The only thing left for her to do was pray quietly.
The battle resumed with familiar opponents, a familiar 1 : 1 draw. During the third round, Cheng Yang obviously couldn’t hold on anymore, beads of sweat formed on his forehead from the pain.
KG asked for a time out and brought him to the hospital.
A miracle didn’t happen. KG announced their decision to back out of the game. The audience was in an uproar.
Cheng Yang was still struggling on the way to the hospital, “I can do it, boss. It’s still possible for us to win the third round. If we can beat Insanity, at least we can be in the loser"s bracket. We still have chance……”
“Do you want to continue with your professional career?” Xu Jimo coldly stopped him, “Or do you want to lose a hand?”
“Boss!”
Xu Jimo patted his shoulder, silent again.
Maybe it was a mistake to continue the compet.i.tion in the first place. Though he knew he shouldn’t have been too optimistic, he had never thought that the day would come when he had to desert the battlefield which he had fought for three years to reach because of some unrelated reason.
