Book 4: The Return of the King


    Chapter 19


    K&K was staying in the hotel right on Changan Street.


    After dinner, they walked westward along Changan Street.  Ai Qing stopped


    when they passed Tiananmen Square. “Wait. I’ve arranged to meet some


    old friends here.  He said he is around here now.”


    There were people everywhere.


    It was an early summer night, she was dressed in a short skirt and a three-quarter


    Perhaps because she had been in the game industry all these years, she still


    looked quite young though she was already twenty-five years old.  She stood


    with him, a twenty-two year old, side by side and spoke to him from time to time,


    they looked perfect together.


    Then a man walked to them by himself.


    A very common face, but Dt recognized him at first sight.  This was her old friend


    and teammate, an alternate player in Solo’s team.


    Ai Qing rushed to him immediately when she saw him.


    Seeing Dt, the man fidgeted for a couple seconds mulling over whether he should


    hug her before Ai Qing  jumped to hug his neck. “It’s so great to see you!” Ai Qing


    Yi Qian tittered and looked at the man behind Ai Qing.  He said in a low voice, “He,


    though I’ve seen him in the competition news, but I still don’t know him and he doesn’t


    know me.  Why don’t you introduce us first? Gou Gou.”


    Realizing her mistake, she moved back two steps to grab Dt’s wrist and pulled him


    forward.  “He was in Solo’s team before……”


    “Yi Qian.”  Dt stretched out his hand,  “Hello.”


    The man raised his eyebrows.  “Oh, I didn’t expect Gou Gou to have already


    mentioned me.”


    “No, because I was a loyal fan of Solo’s team, so I know you.”  Dt told Yi Qian calmly.


    “Ah…...Right!  You are Gou Gou’s die hard fan!”


    Dt’s Weibo post had already been forwarded to all their old friends by All.  Though


    they more or less felt somewhat regretful because the only and well known couple of


    the team didn’t get together at the end.  But they were still very excited that the only girl


    in their team finally had found her match after so many years. All the brothers seemed


    very happy about it.


    It was three people walking together now.


    Ai Qing kept asking Yi Qian about various things in his life in great detail.  She even


    After he began dating her, he cherished any moment he had with her.


    He remembered that when he was young, Grunt and 97 asked him a question.  How


    would he interact with his goddess if he really got together with said goddess?  At that


    time he was already a very proud man, but only this question did he have no expectations.


    He even felt it was a desecration just to think about it.


    He just wanted to get closer, to get just a little bit closer to her world.


    Closer to be able to see her happy and sad, then that would be enough.
