Qiao Lian turned around with curiosity as the captain rushed towards her.
He seemed a little nervous about Shen Liangchuan and didn’t dare to look at the man. Instead, he focused on Qiao Lian.
Puzzled, she asked, “What’s the matter, Captain?”
The captain scratched his head and said, “Actually, I know I shouldn’t be asking you this, but I do feel that apart from you, probably no one would know.”
He was going round and round, so Qiao Lian got more and more puzzled. “What is it exactly?”
The captain sneaked a glance at Shen Liangchuan and then ventured, “So…. do you remember Soul Fighter from our competitive team?”
Qiao Lian paused and said, “Of course.”
At the time, Soul Fighter, Zi Chuan and her had been the closest friends in the team.
Zi Chuan was very familiar with the games’ strategies and sometimes, in a match no one could catch up with his pace.
In the end, Zi Chuan had trained her as well as another fighter.
And the three of them were considered the solid anchors of the game.
Zi Chuan and her were a couple, so Soul Fighter self-proclaimed himself the Third Wheel.
Back then, the three of them frequently played together and often called each other.
It was only later on, when she and Zi Chuan planned to meet and Zi Chuan missed the appointment, that all of them lost contact with each other. Zi Chuan had disappeared from the game, so she never did log into her account again.
She looked at the captain with a puzzled expression and asked, “Why? What’s wrong?”
The captain sighed, frowned and said, “Soul Fighter is from Beijing too, isn’t he? That first year, he said he would come for the gathering but he didn’t turn up. In the end, Zi Chuan died and you stopped logging into your account. He disappeared around that time too.”
“I’m thinking that because he was impacted by what happened to Zi Chuan, he stopped playing.”
“I was on very good terms with Soul Fighter at the time, so I wanted to get some clarity on this. After all, we were all in the game together for three years, and I’d consider us all good friends.”
“This guy really caused me grief for disappearing on us like that.”
The captain went on and on, but to Qiao Lian this discovery was like a bolt of lightning that flashed before her eyes and triggered some sort of realization in her.
And a thought suddenly struck her mind.
She spun her head around to look at Shen Liangchuan.
His expression, however, was as calm and unruffled as always. But his eyes… There was something lurking behind his deep eyes. But it was so obscured that Qiao Lian had no way of guessing what he was thinking, or feeling.
She held her gaze on him steadily and, to her astonishment, she began to see light.
The captain was still talking but gradually, he started to sense that something was wrong. He looked up and saw the strange expressions on Qiao Lian’s and Shen Liangchuan’s faces. He quickly stopped himself, “Heh- err- I think you better get going! Xiao Qiao, come look for me if you need anything.”
Qiao Lian nodded.
“Ding,” the elevator chimed as the door opened.
Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan walked in and the door slowly shut, leaving the captain alone outside.
At once, the deafening silence inside of the elevator was obvious.
Qiao Lian turned to glance at Shen Liangchuan, but she saw that he was expressionless.
She opened her mouth, but no words came.
An awkward silence fell over them both.
–
Shen Liangchuan was truly fearful that Qiao Lian would start asking him questions. He knew she was intelligent and, as a journalist, she was sensitive to these things. For sure, she had figured out something was wrong.
Hence, after the elevator door shut, he waited quietly for her to start raising the difficult questions.
However, she ultimately kept silent.
He, too, began to slowly relax.
Upon arriving at the underground carpark, the two got into the car and then drove out of the hotel grounds.
