This group of passionate youths reminded her of herself eight years ago .
At that time, she had been just like them, passionate and on fire . But ultimately, they had had to succumb to the harsh reality .
Now, her only hope was that their journey on this road towards their dreams and aspirations would be smooth and without bumps .
As she sat in the cab on the way to the airport, her cell phone rang .
It was an unfamiliar number .
Qiao Lian picked up the call . Ancestor White Bones’ voice came over the line, “Coach Qiao . ”
Ancestor White Bones was normally a quiet person, who seemed to be perpetually under great pressure .
At this moment, there was a certain perplexity in her voice as she spoke .

Qiao Lian said immediately, “It’s me . What’s up?”
Ancestor White Bones gave a bitter laugh . Then she continued, “I… have something to tell you . ”
Qiao Lian paused for a moment . “What is it?”
“My Mom has taken my cell phone and given it to my brother . From a very young age, she has always told me that whatever we had at home belonged to my brother . When I grew up, I was to work hard and earn money so that my brother could take a wife, buy a house . I had good results when I was in school and came in top of the class every year . My brother was mischievous and did not do well in school . But my mother made me stop school after I graduated from junior high school so that I could work and let my brother go to college . The staggering cost of tuition fees and life almost killed me . And it was during this time that I came across Lot games . ”
“I love gaming and I’m passionate about that world . Coach Qiao, my mother says this is not a proper job, and all my neighbors give me strange looks . ”
“Coach Qiao, I’m feeling lost and I’m not sure what to do . I don’t know where my future’s headed . ”
As Ancestor White Bones spoke, Qiao Lian could her choking on her own words .
Since she was speaking in a low voice, she must have been making the call in secret, not wishing for anyone to hear her .

Qiao Lian’s heart ached for her .
Actually, life was hard .
What Ancestor White Bones was saying was probably be true of many others like her .
Qiao Lian looked at the bustling crowd outside .
She suddenly smiled and said, “White Bones . ”
Ancestor White Bones gave a soft “hmmm” in response .
Qiao Lian continued, “In this world, some people are destined to be successful; some people are destined to lead a normal life . But does it mean that ordinary folks are unhappy?”
Ancestor White Bones paused .

“An ordinary life experiences ordinary joys, and pursuing your aspirations brings about its own happiness . This boils down to your own choices . ”
“Oh,” Ancestor White Bones said softly .
Qiao Lian knew that she was trying to break out of her current situation .
She needed a breakthrough point .
But she actually still lacked courage .
Qiao Lian couldn’t help but to add, “The prerequisite for leading an ordinary life is to give up your dreams and aspirations . But what about me?”
Ancestor White Bones paused . She asked, “What?”
“Even if I wanted to chase my dreams and aspirations, I no longer have what it takes . ”
Ancestor White Bones was stupefied by these words . “Coach Qiao, what do you mean?”
“My hand is injured and I can’t play games . ”
Ancestor White Bones sounded shocked, “What?”
“White Bones, what I wish to say is that whatever you have, may very well be what others want . ”
The voice on the other end of the line was silent for a moment . “Coach Qiao, I think I understand now . ”
Qiao Lian kept silent for a brief moment and then said, “White Bones, CQ Team, Zombie Leader and the rest have been waiting for you to come home to them .
