Book 1: The Storm is Coming
Chapter 15
She lowered her head, pretending to watch the video, in order to avoid Gun’s eyes . “I certainly remember . Your backpack is still at my home . ” There was a fierce team fight going on in the video, with double kill and triple kill notifications going off .
But her vision was blurry .
She was choking up and couldn’t raise her head to meet him as she was afraid that if she moved, her tears would start to flow down .
“Oh?”
“But they’re of no use now . ” She controlled her voice and
continued to speak light-heartedly . “The keyboard, mouse and headphones are all obsolete . Probably can sell them as antiques . ”
“Then just sell them as antiques . ” Gun’s voice was still coarse as usual . In those days, they liked to call him the male Zhou Xun (note: a very famous Chinese movie actress with coarse voice) because of his unusual voice . “Just say Gun had used them to win three championships and a bunch of international individual titles . As long as there’s a buyer, we will share it fifty-fifty . ”
“Alright, fifty-fifty . ”
She did not dare
dare to raise her head all this time .
Fortunately Gun did not continue the conversation . He walked around the front three rows of SP area toward his own people . When he reached the K&K area, almost all the K&K people stood up . He smiled and playfully patted each and everyone of their shoulders . When he reached Grunt and Dt, he didn’t just greet them rather he asked 97 to move over a seat, and then sat down in between these two main players .
Ai Qing wiped her eyes . She pretended to talk to the girl team
girl team members behind her and turned around to look at them .
She forgot to turn off the video .
The video on her iPad turned dark suddenly . An alert window popped up to remind her that there was only 10% battery remaining .
Someone stretched out his hand and turned off the alert window .
“Did you cry?”
“Uhm . ” She turned back . “I can’t help it . ”
Solo lowered his eyes and looked at her . “I just learned it too . He was one of K&K’s investors . ”
“Investor?”
“Yes, investor . ”
Solo stood in front of her . her . He did not bother to hide the fact that he was looking at that man who had battled with him side by side and was his best and most understanding brother . However, at this place, at this moment, the two most shining star players in Solo’s team before were no longer players any more . One was a SP Chinese Regional manager and the other was one of K&K’s investors .
It seemed that it was from this moment on that he truly realized it:
The golden era that had belonged to Solo’s team in the past had already ended .
