Chapter 1098 The Night in August in Leland is Very Beautiful
Hearing this, Mervyn stopped in his tracks, his face becoming even darker.
All the viewers watching the interview through the live broadcast were also amused.
[ Hahahahaha! The laughter is like thunder to the family! ]
[ Sister Li’s stab is so accurate… Hahahaha! I can see that Mervyn’s face is turning red! ]
!!
[ Help! So Sister Li is so sarcarstic?! ]
[ I can’t laugh anymore! If I were Mervyn, I would just dig a hole and hide in it! Not only did he lose the match, but he has also lost all of his face! ]
[ To be honest, if it wasn’t for Mervyn and Doyle who attacked Shen Li first, she wouldn’t have destroyed so many people, right? He had thought that she would be easy to bully, but who would have guessed that he had kicked an iron plate? To be fair, this situation could be evaluated with one word: Yes! ]
[ I think Sister Li was really sincere when she said that. She’s truly grateful to Mervyn, right? After all, Mervyn is pretty strong. He was beaten three times in a row, but he was not forced out of the arena. If it was someone else, they would probably have been eliminated like Crowe. Sister Li probably didn’t have a good time while competing, right? ]
[ The first part was so mean… Hahahaha, but I agree! Look at Sister Li’s smile, it’s so beautiful! Wasn’t this all thanks to Mervyn? He persevered and finished the entire course, and even got the good result of being in sixth place in the end! Let’s congratulate him! And Ral! [ applause! ] [ applause! ] [ applause! ]
There were rows of clapping emojis below, making it a lively scene.
Currently, Mervyn could not see this but that did not mean he did not know.
All the spectators, coaches, and drivers were stunned.
All of them were looking over here!
He did not even need to raise his head to know what their expressions were at this moment!
Those gazes made him feel like there was a dagger in his back.
He had never thought that one day, he would lose so badly in a race.
Yes, it was tragic.
That was his evaluation of the game, and his own performance had also been a mess!
Not only had he been overtaken by Shen Li, but he had also been beaten by her three times in a row.
Everyone knew that it had been provoked by Shen Li, especially in the last lap.
Then, just when he thought that he had a chance to win, he had ruthlessly been beaten back!
There was no more direct humiliation than this!
At this moment, a reporter who was watching the commotion quickly came up to Mervyn.
“Mervyn, this year, you and Ral failed to defend your t.i.tle. Ral has fallen to fourth place in the group, and you’ve faced your first defeat in three years, and you’ve also ended up in sixth place. Do you think that Shen Li is the biggest reason for our defeat?”
Countless cameras turned their focus toward him, and everyone was waiting for his answer.
In fact, no matter what he said in answer to this question, it would still not sound good.
That was because on the field, failure was the original sin!
No matter what happened before and after the match, a loss was a loss!
Today, all the media and news would make a big deal out of this!
Mervyn’s face was cold and he did not answer the reporter’s question. Instead, he continued to walk forward.
Perhaps it was because there was such an aura of danger around him, the reporter’s first reaction after being blocked was fear.
At this moment, Mervyn really did not look like someone you would want to mess with!
However, it was also because of this that the reporters became more excited and quickly followed him.
If Mervyn really did something extreme here, that would be extremely exciting!
A group of reporters surrounded them as they frantically handed their cameras and microphones forward.
Seeing that Mervyn was walking over with ill intentions, Ji Shu narrowed his eyes and moved to step forward.
Shen Li tugged at him.
Ji Shu paused and turned to look at her. The expression on her face was normal, as if she was not surprised by Mervyn approaching them.
By the looks of it, he had already expected this.
He thought for a moment, shrugged, and returned to her side.
At the back, the rest of the team members from Ral were getting nervous.
“What is Captain planning to do?”
“No matter what, the match is over. There’s no way to change the outcome even if you’re unwilling. Moreover, there are so many people watching. He’s…”
The team members spoke to each other in whispers. Only Doyle’s face was tense. He did not say a word as he merely stared ahead.
He could guess what Mervyn was planning to do this time.
In fact, he was also a little embarra.s.sed.
“Shen Li.”
Mervyn stood three steps away from Shen Li, his voice cold and emotionless.
Everyone fell silent.
Shen Li raised her eyes and looked at Mervyn, her eyebrows raised.
Mervyn’s eyes scanned her face.
There was no doubt that this was the face of an extremely beautiful young girl, completely different from the figure in his memory.
But–
“You’ve been to Leland before, haven’t you?”
It was a question, but Mervyn’s tone was certain.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. They looked at each other in confusion.
What?
What was Mervyn asking?
They thought that he was here to cause trouble for Shen Li, but why was he asking such a question?
Shen Li’s eyes flickered.
However, before she could speak, Lu Siyu could not help but say, “What? This is clearly Sister Li’s first time here!
It was the first time for almost all of LY’s team members, so what kind of question was he asking?
Mervyn ignored him and continued to stare at Shen Li with an unusually persistent att.i.tude.
However, he still did not get Shen Li’s answer.
That was because a staff member quickly jogged over from behind, “Um… Excuse me, the award ceremony is about to start.
The end of the match was of course very important.
He was here to seek Shen Li’s opinion. After all, she was the captain of LY and the champion of the race.
Shen Li looked over and nodded at the staff.
“We’ll head over now.”
With that, she turned around and walked towards the podium.
The other reporters quickly followed, and for a moment, no one cared about Mervyn’s question.
After all, getting a good spot and taking good photos for publicity was what they were more concerned about.
Shen Li took two steps and suddenly stopped. She turned around to look at Mervyn.
By that time, the reporters had already left. Ji Shu and the rest had also left, while she stayed behind.
Her eyes curved and she said softly, “It’s an August night in Leland. It’s beautiful.”
This sound was extremely light, as if it would melt into the hot sun in the next second and dissipate with the wind.
However, it was like a thunderclap in Mervyn’s ears!
His heart trembled! He suddenly looked up!
It was September now, but what Shen Li had said was definitely August!
She was…
Shen Li did not want to waste any more time on this. After saying that, she turned around and left.
However, just as she turned around, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Lu Huaiyu had unknowingly appeared behind her, not far from her.
He stood there, casting a faint shadow on the ground. With one hand in his pocket, he was looking in their direction. His posture was lazy, and it was unclear how long he had been here.
