“Jing Jie, are you alright?”
Qi Sheng looked at him in concern. Although Jing Jie’s mistake cost them a huge price during the beginner stage of the match, Qi Sheng wasn’t blaming him for it. He was just worried.
“I’m… Fine.”
Jing Jie said two words after a long time, but this wasn’t good enough to convince them.
“Xiao Jie, I need to talk to you. You can join them later,” Jinqian suddenly spoke up.
The rest of the team turned towards Jinqian. They didn’t know how to address the heroine that had saved them.
“You are…”
“My sister!”
Jing Jie was suddenly able to introduce her smoothly.
When the rest of them heard that she was Jing Jie’s elder sister, all of them were surprised.
“I’m Jinqian.”
“Miss Jing, we… Our match is about to start now. If Xiao Jie stays here, we will have one less member on the team.”
“He would only be a hindrance in your match if he went in this way. A blunt knife will never be able to chop wood. I’ve been busy quite recently and didn’t have the time to talk to him. Your team will only be able to perform as expected once I convince him of his problems. He won’t be able to join you for this round, but the other party isn’t that strong. You will still be able to catch up in the third round.”
The rest of them didn’t know what to say, especially since they agreed with her as well.
But… This is the Nationals Semi-Finals. How could she say it as if it was just a trivial matter?
Qi Sheng didn’t know what to say. He was aware of Jing Jie’s autism, and he should bear the consequences of his own actions.
He believed in his teammate.
Qi Sheng gave a soft pat to Jing Jie’s shoulder as encouragement before leading his team onto the stage.
When the rest of them left, Jinqian asked, “What’s wrong? Your level today isn’t even half as good as the one that you played at home the other day.”
Jing Jie kept his head down. He didn’t know what to say.
“Xiao Jie, if you don’t say it, I will not be able to help you.”
After hearing Jinqian’s words, tears rolled down Jing Jie’s face.
He immediately fell into Jinqian’s arms. Jing Jie, who was at least one head taller than Jinqian, cried like a child in her arms. He was just like an injured beast.
After a few minutes, he finally opened his mouth and said, “They… They don’t want me anymore.”
“They don’t want you anymore?” Jinqian repeated what Jing Jie said.
Then, she thought of how selfish that couple was and asked, “They… Did they throw the company to you and then end their relationship with you?”
Jing Jie, who was busy crying, suddenly stopped.
He pulled himself away from Jinqian’s arms and stared in shock. From how confused he looked, it was a heartbreaking but yet hilarious scene.
“I was right?”
Jing Jie frowned, about to cry again, but soon he was able to control himself.
His sister was so smart. She could easily guess what his parents did.
As a man, all he did was cry when he heard what happened. It was like the end of the world for him.
Suddenly, there was a thought that appeared in his mind, as if something became clearer all of a sudden.
Seeing how Jing Jie wasn’t saying anything but his face was filled with questions, Jinqian said, “Actually, I was in the same state as you are now. I found something that I really liked after a long time, but if it was something that she didn’t like, she would want to take it away from me. As for them, they would get me to give it to her at whatever cost..”
