The next two days, Qiao Lian went to work as usual. After work, she returned to the room she had rented and stayed in before.
Ever since that day, Shen Liangchuan seemed to have vanished without a trace and had not called her in these two days.
She also did not take the initiative to contact him.
Her life seemed to have gone back in time a month in an instant.
Back to her nine to five and monotonous schedule.
She had been very busy. She was so busy that she had only slept for a few hours these past two days. This was because if she were to be idle, she would be feeling very sad, as if the ocean was going to drown her in it.
Yet this afternoon, she received a call from Song Cheng saying, “I can’t find Brother Shen!”
This was the first time she heard news of him in these two days.
But his words suddenly shocked her. “Since when?”
“Since the day after yesterday. Have you two been quarrelling?”
Qiao Lian panicked immediately. “He disappeared the day before yesterday? Why did you only mention it now! Have you reported it to the police?”
“No, I didn’t. There’s no need to panic…”
Qiao Lian scolded him directly, “A big grown-up person went missing for two days, how could you not worry?”
“Hey, sister-in-law, let me finish! Brother Shen has done this before. He has suddenly disappeared, but do not panic, he will come back in a few days time. He will definitely be back before his movie starts filming.”
Qiao Lian heaved a sigh of relief. “So what is the purpose of your call?”
“This is the case. Before Brother Shen’s disappearance, he asked me to make an appointment for him to meet up with Zombie Leader this afternoon. He said that it was to discuss with Zombie Leader about him joining the eSports club. But Brother Shen is now missing, what should I do?”
When Qiao Lian heard this, she pressed her lips together.
Although she had suggested a divorce with Shen Liangchuan, as Forget Chuan, she had to still stay in the club.
So she hesitated for a while and then said firmly, “Send me the address. I will talk to him.”
–
Judging from Zombie Leader’s behavior in the game, he should be an arrogant and obstinate person.
The person in front was actually wearing custom-made clothes and was full of arrogance. But because of his upbringing, it did not make one loathe him. It fitted his image.
Qiao Lian arrived at the cafe, reached out her hand and said, “How do you do?”
The man took a look at her arrogantly and nodded.
Qiao Lian did not feel awkward. She sat down directly and said, “I am Qiao Lian and you are…”
“Su Penghao.”
There was a tinge of pride in his voice. Judging by what he was wearing, he came from an extraordinary family.
It was not an easy feat to invite such a person to join their club.
She prepared the words in her mind before saying, “I have watched you play. You are excellent in the game. Have you ever thought of joining our club to become a professional eSports player?
“Never thought of it.”
The other party had rejected her directly. After that Su Penghao let out a smirk on his face. “You do not have to rack your brains to convince me. I will not join your club.”
“Why?”
Su Penghao smiled arrogantly. “Because I heard that your club’s coach is Forget Chuan.”
Qiao Lian frowned and asked, “You look down on female players?”
“Ha! It’s not that I look down on them, but it’s a fact that women just can’t play games!”
Qiao Lian immediately reacted, showing that she wasn’t going to admit defeat, “Who says that? There are some that play well!”
“Right, it is true that there are those who can make it. But I am only convinced by one female player: Xiao Qiao. She used to play lot many years ago. The rest of them… are not worthy to be my coach!”
