On the day of the final, the audience is charged up .
Players fill the venue . Ah Zhao is in the middle of the air as usual .
A Sword from the West doesn’t need to look up to look for her since he knows she is always there, watching him .
His opponent is powerful .
However, he is even more so .
Besides, he can't lose .
Holding her chin, Ah Zhao looks at Ji Yunting with blinking eyes as she speaks with cotton candy:
“The male lead is so handsome . ”
Cotton candy isn't affected by her enthusiasm at all . It even feels like sleeping .
On the stage, Ji Yunting kills his opponent with one brief move .
The champion is decided .
Everyone sees it when he puts away his sword, reaches out and blows a kiss to somewhere in the air .
The audience is surprised and looks at that direction . Even the camera goes to it .
However, there’s nothing .
Only Ji Yunting sees a girl sitting there, smiling sweetly at him .
However, he is drugged away by the game stuff, busy with acceptance speech and award ceremony which stops him from sharing his joy with Ah Zhao immediately .
One advantage of virtual reality is that everything can change in no time .
The venue for the final soon turns into a stage .
Ah Zhao watches the presenter give Ji Yunting the symbol of the highest honor of this competition .
Somehow, she feels a little emotional and blurts out: “Cotton candy, I’m so excited . ”
As soon as she says that, she blacks out .
Right now, Ji Yunting is speaking on the stage:
“I’m most thankful for this one person . ” His expression suddenly changes since when he looks up, he can't find the girl who was sitting there a moment ago .
He suppresses his anxiety . Ending his speech hurriedly, he gives the stage to other players .
Throwing the trophy in his backpack, he finds a chance to leave .
“Ah Zhao . ” He calls her from his heart which is how he usually contacts her . He knows she can hear it .
However, there isn’t a response .
Ji Yunting smiles: “Now, don't tease me . I’m worried . ”
Still no response .
His heart sinks .
Without a word, he walks to that plain again, sitting down .
There hasn’t been a rain here for a long time . The ground is dry with finger-long grass .
However, with few visitors, it is as silent as ever .
He has got many private messages .
Congratulations, small talks and messages from game stuff .
He doesn't want to reply a single one of them .
He keeps calling her . He’ll have a rest when he’s tired .
Around five’o clock in the afternoon, he looks up at the sky and logs out .
Cooking himself a meal and taking a walk, at eight, he logs into the game on time .
He doesn't actually do anything in the game except waiting .
He doesn’t know what happened . But he knows Ah Zhao can find him no matter where he is as long as she wants to .
This plain is special since he was found by Ah Zhao here when he met her for the first time .
A day passes, then two days .
Ji Yunting's heart is heavier but he looks calmer .
He feels dead inside, as he has expected .
He has imagined her leave numerous times . However, he was too weak to think about the consequences, instead, he was happy about what he had then .
Until the day she really left .
I am so calm though . He thinks .
