Tears gathered in the corner of the eyes and rolled down her cheeks.

They fell on the tombstone, a drop at a time.

Her fingers clenched into a tight fist as she looked at the blurred image of this person who had once given her his heart and soul. Now tears were flowing uncontrollably and silently, as though even her voice had gone into painful mourning.

How she wished he were still alive.

Even if at that time he had toyed with her, she wouldn't have wished for this situation to be the reality.

The captain sighed helplessly as he looked at the crying woman. He bent over and, as though he was talking to himself, told Zi Chuan, "Zi Chuan, I saw Xiao Qiao today."

"She's doing well and has become a well-known caster. She's even the coach of the King Fighting Team."

"But she didn't seem to want to have anything to do with us."

"Perhaps it's because she thought of you when she saw me, and it made her sad."

He stood up and gave the tombstone a pat.

After a while, he sighed deeply and spoke to Qiao Lian, "Young lady, let's go."

After he said this, however, she did not move.

He paused for a moment. Observing her pale face, he saw an expression of one who was at a complete loss, in her eyes there was unfathomable pain and hopelessness.

He felt an unexplainable ache in his heart as he looked at her

With a softened tone he called her again, "Young lady?"

Qiao Lian did not hear what he said.

Even though her world was now blurry through a film of hot tears, she continued to stare at the tombstone.

She could not accept this reality.

Zi Chuan had died…

How could he have died?

The skies were darkening gradually and the cold winds were picking up.

The captain looked around and then back at the young lady, who was crying so pitifully as though she had lost her soul. Without another word, he bent over and helped her up. He led her to the car and they drove away.

The car heater was on.

The captain looked straight ahead as he drove and once in a while, he would steal a glance at the young lady next to him.

She was devastated and an air of deep desolation seemed to surround her.

He finally spoke, "Where do you live? Let me take you home?"

Qiao Lian finally snapped back to the present.

She looked around and realized that they were now driving through a place not too far from the villa district. She immediately said, "Please let me get off here."

The captain paused and then pulled up on the side of the road. "Is this okay?"

Qiao Lian did not answer, but pushed open the car door and got out of the car.

The captain looked at her back view and shook his head as he drove away. "What a strange young lady."

–

Shen Liangchuan was almost going crazy.

It was turning dark and the hands on the clock were telling him it was eleven at night. But Qiao Lian had not come home.

He had called the team's villa and Su Penghao had said that they had parted ways after the competition.

But where had she gone after parting ways with Su Penghao?

He had tried calling her cell phone, but why hadn't she picked up the call?

Could she have gotten into some sort of unsafe situation?

He drove around the streets nearby, wishing there were a few more of him to help with the search.

"Brother Shen, don't be anxious. Ms. Qiao is a grown up and won't get too lost. Besides, she's been gone for just five or six hours, even the police wouldn't bother if we were to report it!"

Shen Liangchuan narrowed his eyes, "If we can't do that, then we can only post it on Weibo and ask for help in the search."

Song Cheng immediately panicked and said, "Brother Shen, you can't! I beg of you! If you get the citizens involved, it'd be a public disaster! And it could be that something urgent came up for Ms. Qiao and she's merely delayed!"
