<h4>Chapter 1299: End Game (39)</h4>


    No one else had noticed The Deputy Godfather’s shift of emotions.


    But Qiao Lian, as a girl, was sensitive enough to catch the issue at hand.


    She pursed her lips and turned towards Shen Liangchuan.


    She didn’t know the details of what had happened, but she understood Shen Liangchuan’s personality.


    Although in person he came across as a very cold and emotionless individual, the reality was that he had a forgiving and loyal nature.


    She recalled something that happened when she had just met him.


    There was someone on the team who yed poorly, so he often criticized him. But one time in a game, that person was yed by the enemy a few times and was taunted, “What a noob, hahahaha.”


    That team member was so infuriated that she cried.


    Qiao Lian also had a forgiving nature so she immediately shot back, still standing in the nexus.


    After that, everyone else in the team joined.


    Only Shen Liangchuan was out there alone, clearing the jungle and quietly leveling up.


    At the time, Qiao Lian had thought what a quiet person he was. Besides, did he actually think the opponent was right in making those remarks? This person was really heartless and cold.


    But in the next ten minutes, she discovered his way of doing things.


    Shen Liangchuan yed the opponent who had taunted them numerous times.


    Eventually, after beating that person to pulp, he calmly and heroically typed out a message on his keyboard, “Are we ying against bots?”


    That was a direct insult to the opponent.


    And it was that very same Shen Liangchuan that Qiao Lian had fallen in love with.


    She had stared at Shen Liangchuan’s champion, moving through the field with fluid motions, with his dashing maneuvering and that air of steadiness, despite the fact that he had not been very much older than her. All these qualities of his had captivated her.


    As these recollections filled her mind, someone grabbed her wrist.


    Stunned, she looked up. It was Shen Liangchuan. She asked, “What’s the matter?”


    He replied, “So are you nning to follow us all the way?”


    Qiao Lian: ...


    She looked around. It was then she noticed that they were before the restroom. Since she had gotten distracted, she hadn’t noticed that she had actually been about to step into the male restroom with the guys.


    Qiao Lian: ...!!


    She turned scarlet at once.


    Su Penghao burst outughing and said, “I don’t really mind if you came along.”


    In an immediate reaction to the joke, Shen Liangchuan said, “I do mind.”


    Su Penghao: ...


    He realized suddenly whom he was making fun of and shut his mouth, falling into silence at once.


    Next to him, The Godfather lowered his head and sniggered.


    The Deputy Godfather continued to look at Shen Liangchuan with admiration in his eyes.


    Qiao Lian threw Su Penghao a nce and then rolled her eyes, saying, “I’m gone.” Then she quickly went the other way into the female washroom.


    –


    By the time Qiao Lian was done and walked out, she saw Shen Liangchuan standing alone outside, waiting for her.


    Puzzled, she asked, “Where are the rest?”


    “They’re gone.”


    “Men,” Qiao Lian thought, “they are fast!”


    She took a step forward and was about to put her arms around Shen Liangchuan, when she suddenly heard a voice behind, “Xiao Qiao? Shen?”


    The couple turned around simultaneously. It was King and he was just walking out of the restroom.


    The interpreter was next to him.


    King carried an aggressive smile on his face as he looked at the two of them. After a moment, he said something which the interpreter quickly conveyed, “Xiao Qiao, weren’t you tortured pathetically in thest match?”


    Immediately, Qiao Lian frowned.
