With the captains in the lead, the audience immediately broke into applause as the teams entered the hall.
As the team leader of Black Horse, Li Nanmu waved his hands and nodded at the ladies who were screaming at the top of their lungs.
It was definitely a proud moment of accomplishment.
The rest of the players appeared more cool as they waved their hands symbolically.
There were people of various shapes and sizes, as well as levels of attractiveness in the audience. However, Lin Yiqian was nowhere to be found.
Gu Nianshen frowned as he looked down at his phone.
Distracted, he was soon left behind by his teammates. However, Li Nanmu and the others noticed almost immediately as he had such a strong presence.
Seeing that Gu Nianshen was looking all around, Li Nanmu and the others immediately knew that he was searching for Lin Yiqian. They too had not seen her.
“Stop hoping. She’s not coming.” Li Nanmu placed a hand on Gu Nianshen’s shoulder.
It sounded like he was gloating.
Gu Nianshen pushed Li Nanmu’s hand away as he walked away with his phone in hand. As he did so, he began making a call.
“Haven’t you picked them up yet?” Gu Nianshen asked.
“CEO, we were told upon arriving at her office that she had already left with the child.”
‘Left?’
Did the idiot not know that the match was happening today? Gu Nianshen had made sure to remind her several times over the past few days.
As whistling sounds could be heard from the hall, Gu Nianshen hung up and immediately dialed Lin Yiqian’s number.
“Sorry, but the person you are calling is unavailable right now…”
Nobody was picking up.
Gu Nianshen was beginning to feel nervous. Could something bad have happened?
Right then, everyone was waiting for the players to get onto the court. However, Gu Nianshen was still not making his way out. “Nianshen, what are you doing?” Qin Feng finally approached Gu Nianshen.
Gu Nianshen was still trying to reach Lin Yiqian on her phone.
“I can’t play without Lin Yiqian here,” he answered blandly.
“Are you kidding me…???” Qin Feng’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Nianshen.” The gentle voice of a woman could suddenly be heard.
Gu Nianshen and Qin Feng looked over in unison.
The woman seemed extremely thin and fragile under her loose jersey. It seemed as if she could lose her balance at any moment.
One could not help but feel pity for her.
“Hey, isn’t it pretty Xia Xia?” Qin Feng greeted her with a smile.
He was trying to keep a casual tone as he greeted Xi Xia. When he saw the jersey she was wearing, he fell silent as he became contemplative.
When Xi Xia walked past Qin Feng, she nodded at him with a smile before she continued walking toward Gu Nianshen.
Once she got near, Gu Nianshen frowned. “This place is too noisy. You shouldn’t be here.” He stated coolly.
If one did not know him well, one would not be able to tell that he was concerned.
Xi Xia shook her head as she chuckled. “I can take it. You haven’t played in years. How could I not be here to cheer for you?”
Gu Nianshen lowered his gaze without saying a word. As he looked at the jersey Xi Xia was wearing, his facial expression changed.
“I saw Little Yi earlier,” Xi Xia continued.
“She’s here?” Gu Nianshen’s eyes lit up.
He sounded very excited.
Sensing his reaction, Xi Xia nodded as she smiled. “Yeah. I bumped into her at the entrance. She’s probably getting her car parked right now.”
When Qin Feng heard this, he turned to look at Gu Nianshen. “See, Lin Yiqian is here after all. Can we focus on the game right now?”
