Qiao Lian halted and turned around.
During those gaming years, the competitive team’s members used to tease each other.
And their competitive team had been like one big family, until Zi Chuan betrayed her and she left the team. After this, she had not kept in touch with any of the team members.
Because this person had been their team leader, he was pestered by the team members to send many pictures of himself. That was how she had recognized his face.
But why was their team leader here?
Qiao Lian looked up and heard her team leader shouting as he ran towards Purple Fairy, “Purple Fairy! Wait up!”
Almost out of reflex, Qiao Lian started to walk in their direction. However, Su Penghao tugged at her arm at once and said, “Hey, what are you doing? Are we going or not!”
Qiao Lian turned around and said to him, “The car is waiting for all of you outside. Take the team back to the villa, I have to stay behind to attend to something.”
Then, not bothering anymore with Su Penghao, she took a few steps ahead in Purple Fairy and that man’s direction.
At this point, she caught the conversation between the two.
Purple Fairy had halted and turned around when she heard him call her. Her sharp instincts as a caster told her that this stranger standing before her was no ordinary man. Hence, she asked politely, “Yes, may I help you?”
The team leader gave a silly grin and asked, “Don’t you remember me?”
Purple Fairy paused and immediately replied, “Have we met?”
Still grinning, he said, “Xiao Qiao, I used to be your team leader!”
As soon as Purple Fairy heard the name “Xiao Qiao,” she froze. Then she forced a smile.
Putting on a surprised expression, she exclaimed, “Oh! Team leader!”
The team leader laughed. “That’s right, I used to send out pictures of myself to the team. Don’t you recognize me? Or have I aged that much in the last eight years?”
Always knowing how to talk her way out, Purple Fairy said, “Of course not, it’s my memory that’s aging fast!”
The team leader nodded and continued, “Xiao Qiao, where have you been all these years? Our team is still around, but all of us have aged! We seldom play now, but our comradeship remains. The team members still meet for yearly gatherings and they inevitably talk about you and Zi Chuan. It’s a pity you never turn up! After everyone realized that you had become an eSports caster, they all became your fans. I suppose you’ve fulfilled your childhood dream now that you’re King Fighting Team’s coach! Our team will be organizing a group gathering again this year, would you like to come?”
Purple Fairy’s eyes flashed.
What was the point of going?
Was there a possibility that she could get busted for being an imposter if she went?
She laughed immediately and suddenly looked into the distance. “Team leader, I’m sorry, I’m in the middle of something urgent. Let’s talk another day.”
The team leader paused and before he could snap back into the present, Purple Fairy had already disappeared.
He was about to chase her when a hand grabbed his arm and held him back.
He turned around. It was the young lady who had almost knocked him over. She was looking at him intently.
Qiao Lian held on tightly to his sleeve, her expression was both intense and confused. There was a painful anxiety that seemed to be squeezing her chest and an unbearable yearning in her heart.
The team leader had just said that they organized a gathering every year…
Would Zi Chuan be there then?
Thinking of this made her so nervous she could hardly find her own voice.
She finally managed to get the words past her throat and with a trembling voice, she asked, “Do you know where Zi Chuan is now?”
The team leader was stunned for a moment and answered, “Of course I do!”
