"I'll keep fighting."
This time, everyone's gazes fell on Qin Chengyao. They couldn't understand why he would continue fighting after Ji Siyue left.
Qin Chengyao took a deep breath, reached out his hand to caress Ji Siyue's pale face, and said word by word without any emotion, "I'll keep fighting. Not only will I keep fighting, but I'll also win the championship. But Siyue... Do you still remember what you said to me?"
That day when they went to Qingqing to get the medicine, it started to rain. The two of them were trapped in the car and couldn't leave, so they had a heart - to - heart talk.
Ji Siyue said that if he won the championship, they would officially get back together and be together forever. Maybe Qin Chengyao was too impatient and gave the ring in advance. Was this his retribution?
"But if you leave, leave the ring with me. Come back after we win the championship. Or if you don't come back, I'll truly let go. For the rest of my life, no matter if you're sick or well, it has nothing to do with me. Siyue, I love you, so I won't force you. You can do whatever you want. But I'm also a human being. I have my own emotions. I have a heart, and it will feel suffocated with every word you say. So... I'm asking you now, what do you want to do?"
Landu pulled a few people and led them out of the room, leaving only Qin Chengyao and Ji Siyue.
The staff came to ask what had happened. Landu smiled and stopped them, saying, "They're dealing with some personal matters inside."
The staff said, "But the next match is about to start. Is everything okay? Can your captain come out to play the match?"
"Don't worry. We know the rules of the game, so we won't delay you. We'll play the match on time."
The time was up, but the people in the room still hadn't come out.
Zhu Zhiyao was silent for a while, then stepped forward in front of everyone and said, "Landu, Bai Yu, Xing Xing, Nangong Qi, Bai He. The five of you go on. Landu will replace Lao Qin as the commander. You all understand what I mean, right?"
Before, Qin Chengyao was always the center of the team. Everyone was surprised that Qin Chengyao wasn't the center in the last match.
But this wasn't the only thing that surprised them.
The team had rehearsed more than a dozen line - ups without Qin Chengyao. Facing the IK team's three - protect - two line - up, there was no suitable one, so they had to use a relatively mediocre but more stable line - up.
Zhu Zhiyao was neither the captain nor the commander, but he was very perceptive. After analyzing the situation, he decided to use the No. 36 line - up they had rehearsed before.
Everyone was silent for a while. Finally, Landu stood up and said, "I'll take on this responsibility. What about you guys? Are you brave enough to fight with me?"
Now Qin Chengyao and Ji Siyue really had some things to solve, but no one thought that they were affecting the game because of their personal emotions.
Because these two people had dedicated everything to the team. It wasn't too much to give them the time of one match.
"Brave!" Xing Xing stood up, with tears in her eyes. "The captain has never taken a break. Let him see our strength in this match!"
When the five of them came out, the spotlight shone on their confident but cautious faces. Everyone was shocked.
Was Qin Chengyao... not going to take the stage?
In the lounge, Ji Siyue saw on the TV screen that the five of them started the match without the coach and the captain. Everyone was sighing, but Landu had already started to command.
She finally came to her senses.
"Qin Chengyao, were those words you just said serious?"
Qin Chengyao had been waiting for Ji Siyue's answer, so he almost immediately said, "I'm serious. So what's your response now?"
Ji Siyue couldn't hold back and burst into tears.
She cried loudly, not caring about her image at all. She let her face distort and didn't care.
Qin Chengyao gently hugged Ji Siyue and patted her on the shoulder, saying, "It's okay. I'm here. Tell me, what's wrong?"
He was curious about the reason why Ji Siyue left last time, but he never asked.
He wanted to wait for Ji Siyue to tell him voluntarily, but it seemed that he couldn't wait any longer.
He was angry and panicked. He even said those words just now to make her sober up, but there was no denying that he loved her.
Ji Siyue hugged Qin Chengyao and cried for about twenty more minutes.
When those people came back after winning a match and stood at the door.
Ji Siyue shouted at the top of her voice, "Wuwuwuwu... Qin Chengyao! Qin Chengyao! Wuwuwuwu! I have no family left! Wuwuwuwu..."
Qin Chengyao's hands holding Ji Siyue trembled violently.
The people outside the room also heard Ji Siyue's hysterical cry and were all stunned.
What... what did it mean... having no family left?!
What had happened!
Although Qin Chengyao didn't understand what had happened, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"Siyue... Siyue..."
Ji Siyue fainted from crying.
The next match started.
Qin Chengyao let go of Ji Siyue and went to play a match with a pale face.
This time, they lost the match, and the score was 2 - 1.
He took a break for another match.
Then, he went to the substitute bench himself and let Landu replace his position.
The score was evened out again.
In the last match, the five of them fought desperately, but they still lost the match.
They lost with such a great advantage.
The fans were puzzled. Where had Qin Chengyao gone?
Some careful people noticed... Ji Siyue was missing.
[Is it Ji Siyue's problem again?]
[How long will she harm the team?]
[Although the score is still a few points ahead, this match is too frustrating! It was a sure - win game!]
The topic was already being discussed on Weibo, but the entire GH team didn't give any explanation.
Some media reported that when the GH team came out, it was Qin Chengyao who was carrying the unconscious Ji Siyue.
They took the bus back to their base. Some media followed and took pictures, but they were blocked outside the villa. Qin Chengyao even asked the security guards of the Qin Group to maintain order.
At night, Ji Siyue opened her eyes.
She looked at the faces around her bed and suddenly felt that what she said this afternoon was really stupid.
With these people... maybe she didn't need to leave...
"Sister Siyue..."
Xing Xing only said one sentence and couldn't hold back her tears.
In one afternoon, Qin Chengyao had enough time to investigate and handle everything.
