After a very long time, Qin Chengyao nodded almost imperceptibly.
"To be honest, I even feel that I don't deserve to be with you anymore. But I just can't bear to let you go... Siyue, no matter whether you can get over this hurdle in your heart when you're with me, I won't let you go again. This feeling is really too painful. Siyue, let's fight for the championship together! After we win the championship, we'll open a club and focus on training e - sports players."
Qin Chengyao had already planned out the future, but Ji Siyue noticed an unusual point.
Qin Chengyao seemed not to mention the Qin Group and his father from beginning to end.
"What about your company and your family?"
"Siyue, I already told you before you went abroad. Your parents are gone, and I'm your family. I'll always be by your side. I was also very shocked and angry about what that man did before. So while you were sleeping, I made some decisions..."
After hearing what Qin Chengyao said, Ji Siyue just thought it was absurd and even a little funny.
It turned out that Qin Chengyao voluntarily gave up his equity in the company and broke off relations with his father. From the moment he walked out of the ward, the two of them were no longer related.
Although the law does not allow biological father - son relations to be severed, in their hearts, they would never have anything to do with each other for the rest of their lives.
Qin Chengyao knew that Ji Siyue would never forgive that man in this lifetime, so he made this choice.
If that man broke off relations with him, at least he still had another son, who could come back to inherit the company when the time was right.
But Ji Siyue only had him.
He couldn't bear to see Ji Siyue sad and in a dilemma every day, so he simply made this decision.
Ji Siyue was silent for a long time. When she finally reacted, her first words were: "Is it worth it? Giving up a multi - billion - dollar group and your blood - related family... just for me, Ji Siyue, who has nothing?"
"Precisely because I'm here, you're not a person with nothing. From now on, you have me, and I have you."
At this point, any more words would be redundant. All their feelings were poured into a passionate kiss...
...
The next day, Ji Siyue held a general meeting.
"Guys, I've been in a bad mood these days, which has delayed your training. So today I've ordered Haidilao takeout. Let's have a good meal, drink some wine, and sleep for a whole day. When we wake up again, get fully prepared for the competition! There are still four teams left. It's the semi - finals now... Get yourselves together!"
Seeing that Ji Siyue finally got her spirits up, everyone felt more confident.
It was only later that everyone noticed that the company introduction on Qin Chengyao's Weibo was gone, and he no longer introduced himself as a person from the Qin Group to others.
The Qin Group withdrew its investment. Ji Siyue took all the money from Lao Yang's company for investment, as well as the money from her own live - streaming company. Finally, she managed to make up for this shortfall.
Next, it was time to fully prepare for the competition.
The next opponent was still ik.
It seemed predestined. Since there were more than forty teams, they had only faced Junchen once, which was in the AB grouping. Since then, they had never faced that team again. Now, in the semi - finals, they still hadn't faced each other. It seemed that something was guiding them, making it a must for the two teams to face each other on the finals stage.
This change also unconsciously affected many people's hearts, making everyone nervous.
After having a hearty hot - pot meal, crying, laughing, and scolding while drinking, and sleeping for a whole day and night, everyone woke up the next day full of energy and started playing training matches.
...
At the Junchen headquarters.
The team manager was droning on about the sponsorship for this quarter. The other team members were sitting on the chairs beside, while Xiyou was sitting on the sofa, with Tianfeng sitting next to him.
Tianfeng was sitting very close to Xiyou and even held Xiyou's hand, ambiguously playing with his fingers. Although Xiyou was a bit unhappy, he didn't resist and just sat there.
After reading out the sponsors and regulations on the document, the team manager said, "We must win the next game no matter what. And this opponent is not that strong. It ranks fourth among these four teams, so there's no need to worry too much. What we really need to worry about is gh. Gh has expanded from five people at the beginning to eight people now. Their lineup has become more diverse, presenting more possibilities, which means greater pressure for us. I know that everyone looks down on that team in their hearts and thinks that it's not as good as ours. But I still have to remind you that an over - confident army is doomed to failure. I hope everyone will stop being so lazy and focus on training. I checked the average training time of that team yesterday. Just the time spent on the main accounts was eleven hours. Moreover, everyone is holding back their secret weapons now. Let alone the time spent after training..."
These lectures were given every time, but not everyone listened. Only Xiyou listened very carefully.
He had to be serious about everything related to that person and then completely defeat all of that person's pride.
After the meeting, the team manager left, but Tianfeng still sat beside Xiyou.
"Are you feeling a bit panicked now?"
"I'm not."
"But your fingers are shaking."
Xiyou was stunned for a moment and then pulled his hand back from Tianfeng's. At the same time, Tianfeng reached out a hand to hold Xiyou's neck and almost imprisoned him in front of himself: "I advise you not to forget what you promised me. You don't need to worry about this game. I've been training for seventeen hours every day just to make sure you can win the championship."
Xiyou gradually softened his body and didn't resist as fiercely as before: "I know that myself, so thank you. But this game hasn't started yet. Don't be too over - confident now."
"Of course I know. Don't worry. If it comes to the worst, I may do something crazy, but you can rest assured that I won't involve you. I just want you to win."
Hearing these words, Xiyou couldn't help shivering.
This person was sometimes very gentle and sometimes very cruel.
Xiyou still couldn't figure out the real purpose of this person approaching him.
It was just... if he could defeat that person, he didn't care about anything.
