Qiao Lian knitted her brow tightly and reached out to massage her head.
Then she stared at the computer.
It had been a long time since she had logged onto that gaming account.
Now that she had logged in, her champion, Xiao Qiao, appeared on the interface.
That familiar figure with the floaty yellow dress was like a deja vu.
Qiao Lian stared at it and then heard Prince say, “Love Chuan, come, let’s play a solo match. I can also then assess your maneuvering skills on the computer version.”
Qiao Lian frowned. She was feeling twitchy from the splitting headache, so when she heard him say this, she immediately retorted, “Why should I play a solo match with you?”
Prince said, “I’m currently the top player in the gaming world. You wouldn’t lose anything by playing a solo game with me.”
Prince moved closer to her and said, “Think about it. I’m the top player, the pressure’s on me. If you win, you’ll be famous just like that! And if you lose, wouldn’t that just be a given? The last time we played a solo match, didn’t you gain a whole army of new fans?”
Qiao Lian was stumped by what he said.
All she felt was this strong sense of familiarity.
There were a few memories that seemed to be on the verge of returning to her, but there was just something in the way—something that was yet to be sorted out.
She stared at the game in a daze.
In an odd move, she suddenly went into the friend page in the game.
And then…
She saw Zi Chuan’s name.
Zi Chuan.
That name held a boundless charm and it came at her at full force, freezing her. She clicked on the avatar.
Zi Chuan… Zi Chuan!!
Her pupils shrank back.
At this point, she heard some noises coming from upstairs.
“Big Brother, why are you here so early?”
“That’s right. We were struggling till five in the morning, we’re still sleeping!”
“Hey, who’s this girl?”
“A new team member?”
Qiao Lian turned around when she heard them.
She didn’t feel at all familiar with any of these people in front of her.
She stared at them with her head tilted.
She could not think who these people were.
Prince got up to his feet and said, “Ok, let me introduce you. This is Love Chuan! I’ve just discovered that she was Xiao Qiao from way back. And she’s our new team member!”
The people were stunned upon hearing this. They surrounded her immediately.
“Ha, you’re really Xiao Qiao?”
“Is that for real? Xiao Qiao, when you were gaming, I had only just started going to middle school.”
“Ahhhh, if Xiao Qiao is here, then where’s Zi Chuan? Is Zi Chuan still gaming?”
“What about Zi Chuan? Xiao Qiao, hey, Xiao Qiao, why aren’t you talking?”
Their voices rang out shrill and sharp, like daggers stabbing her brain.
She could only feel a head-splitting pain.
Suddenly, she bent over and aggressively pushed away the people surrounding her. Then she ran out of the villa.
Scenes from the past flashed across her mind one by one, till she halted in the courtyard clutching her head.
She remembered.
When she saw the game, she finally remembered.
All these scenes from the past, the things that Lu Nanze had done, at once caused her expression to freeze.
Lu Nanze.
He had actually wanted to kill her child.
Qiao Lian immediately looked down, reached out and slid her hands protectively around her belly.
Now that she had managed to remember this, then she certainly must not allow him to hurt her child.
