Chapter 1305: End Game (45)
The camera had now zoomed into Shen Liangchuan’s face, projecting it onto the central big screen.
His expression was serious as he looked steadily into the lens. It was as though through it, he was looking into the eyes of the viewer.
There were millions of eSports fans watching.
In addition to this, there were Shen Liangchuan’s own fans. Hence at this point, there was an unprecedented number of people watching the livestream match.
Before the world, Shen Liangchuan had uttered the words that had come nine years late:
“Xiao Qiao, please marry me.”
The venue fell into a deafening silence.
After ten seconds, cries of surprise suddenly broke out all over, people started whistling and yelling.
All the eyes in the crowd seemed to be following his gaze, searching for Qiao Lian, who was standing among them in a complete daze in her CQ team uniform.
Then the crowd parted automatically, opening up a path for her.
A path that led to the stage, to Shen Liangchuan.
Shen Liangchuan stood there on the stage, smiling, with his hand held out towards her.
She stood rooted to the ground, her eyes still widened in astonishment.
Time stopped at this very moment.
The noise around her faded in the background, the colors had dimmed, as her focus was now trained solely on that one solitary figure on the stage.
Qiao Lian’s mind had gone blank, but the man on the stage was like a magnet drawing her one step at a time towards him. She found herself walking to the stage, under his spell.
As she took that one last step onto the platform, he reached out and took her hand tightly in his.
She knew, in that moment of time, that there was no longer anything separating them.
By the time she came back into her senses, the shrieks and cheers in the venue were deafening.
Everyone in the audience was shouting, “Say yes! Say yes!”
Qiao Lian looked at Shen Liangchuan. He was staring back at her with his dark, piercing eyes.
They were burning bright with an amazing darkness.
She bit her lip and, under his deep and pa.s.sionate gaze, nodded.
The crowd broke out in an ecstatic cheer. Then the crowd kept demanding, “A kiss!”
“Kiss!”
“Kiss!”
They started to shout in unison.
They shouted at the top of their voices.
All that noise! Qiao Lian’s face turned a bright scarlet as she glanced back at the fans in the crowd.
Wouldn’t it be pure bragging to kiss under such circ.u.mstances?
But the next moment, she suddenly felt a broad and tall figure take a step towards her. Then, a warm and large hand pressed up against her back. She wanted to give a shout of alarm but as she opened her mouth, a kiss landed on her lips.
“Arghhhhhhhh!!”
The crowd got excited and completely charged up.
Best Actor Shen had never even filmed a kissing scene.
But he had kissed Qiao Lian before the world.
–
Even after the interview, there was a buzz of excitement among the fans at the live venue.
The compet.i.tion organizer had no choice but to arrange for Shen Liangchuan and Qiao Lian to leave the venue through a special pa.s.sageway.
Accompanied by the staff, they were led along the pa.s.sageway. They hadn’t gone very far when suddenly, they saw King in front of them. He was walking with his head lowered, wearing his baseball cap.
However unlike them, King’s posture made him look like he was a fugitive on the run. He cut a terribly sorry figure.
When he heard the noise behind him, he spun around. He halted and narrowed his eyes when he realized it was them.
Then he walked towards the two of them.
