Book 3: Glory on the Other Side

Chapter 32

The chat exploded again.

Who was Appledog?  One of the bosses of the two largest clubs

in the nation, SP and K&K, was her past lover and the other an old

friend. She herself was the manager of SP’s A team now and a top

commentator…... Everyone was waiting to see a top player on the

national server embarrass himself before Ai Qing left her answer,

but were now amazed at what had happened

Ai Qing logged off the game and turned off the stream.

Her words carried a lot of risk.  After all, Taotao only had a high

ranking on the server, but had never gone to one of the large national

competitions.  She had no idea how well he’d place in tournaments,

perform in a tournament setting, work with a team, and even his

character, personality, and personal life.

Many top players on the internet were like meteors, disappearing very

Only those who survived numerous tough competitions were golden.

Just like everyone on SP, they all had experience in many different

games and many international tournaments, as well as having good

rankings online, before they signed with the club.

She was acting a rather bit impulsively……

Ai Qing figured that she would have to explain to SP’s upper

management tomorrow that she wasn’t going to start her own club.

It was just, it was just that……

But what was it?

She began to unpack her luggage. Her hands were busy but her

brain had gone blank. The suppressed emotions just now

gradually began to flood out.

Of course she would feel bad.  It was impossible for her to ignore

what had happened to Solo.  But she had to control herself so All

wouldn’t notice.  Though both Xiaomi and Solo were important

friends in her life, she could be very frank and show her emotions

She couldn’t even send him a text message to prevent any

misunderstandings.

……

Solo should…...be able to recover.  He had left home and worked

hard since he was a teenager and moved up in the world from an

unknown person to SP Asian’s Regional Manager.  He was in his

thirties, no longer that teenager in the past, she thought.

She started to sort out her room after she finished unpacking her

luggage.  She mopped all the rooms and washed the glasses, dishes

and chopsticks she usually used.  Finally she poured some hot

water and looked for some medicine for her upset stomach.  

Unfortunately, she only found an empty box inside the cabinet…...

She drank several mouthfuls of warm water depressedly.  How

could Wu Bai drink ice water through all four seasons?

The first time she noticed his habit was in Singapore.  Many years

ago, he was eating ice with earphones on while concentrating on

his computer screen…...was he only fifteen years old at that time?

Now he was only twenty-two years old.

Ai Qing thought about his actual age.  She bit her lower lip and

felt a little bit…...perturbed.

Would his parents approve of this kind of age gap?  Besides, they

come from different background that were very different.  She

wouldn’t leave China because her friends, business, and family

were all here.  But his family was abroad.  She wasn’t even sure

how her parents would react. She had many arguments with her

parents because of Solo in the past, but now…...it was someone

much younger than her.  She expected that there would be some

more arguments in her future.

He just entered high school when I was in college.  Ah, Ah.

She felt guilty when she thought about it.

He had dragged her along forwards; it had messed up her original

wish to develop the relationship slowly.

Ai Qing turned on the TV and turned off all lights.  She found her

cell phone on the sofa.

The moment she picked up her cell phone, there was an incoming

text message: Ai Qing.

Only two words, which he had sent.

Such a coincidence……

Ai Qing slowly typed in: Uhm.  Are you at the club?

Surprisingly, he didn’t reply.

She waited for a while and followed up with another message:

Did you receive my message?

There was still no response.

She called him on her phone.  After a long time, it finally connected.

Ai Qing asked him lightly,  “Are you busy?”

“I’m right outside your home.”

“My home?”
