Chapter 514: Liangchuan is Zi Chuan! (14)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qiao Lian sat in the room on the third floor for two hours.
There were very, very few things in the room, but it was full of memories.
After the happiness, the questions remained.
If Shen Liangchuan was Zi Chuan, why hadn’t he told her?
And…
Song Yuanxi had kept saying that his first love was her sister… What was this about?
Apart from this, who was the person buried in the cemetery then? Why did those team members think that it was Zi Chuan?
As she thought about these things, she lowered her head.
As the feelings of joy and happiness from this discovery ebbed, she still drew a blank.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of her cell phone ringing.
She looked at the number and recognized it—Lot’s Beijing official number. She quickly picked it up. The voice on the other end said, “Hi, this is Lot Conquest, may I know if you’re CQ Team’s Coach Qiao?
Qiao Lian nodded. “Yes.”
The voice continued, “We are doing a promotion of all the teams that made it to the semifinals, it’s for the advertis.e.m.e.nt of the grand final coming up. Will you be able to bring your team members in for a photoshoot? We’ve made arrangements with our top makeup artist and photographer.”
ESports were going in the direction of making celebrities out of star gamers.
Hence, it was usual to get photoshoot requests and such.
Qiao Lian contemplated it for a moment and agreed.
Although they weren’t completing to gain fame, there was a certain obligation to meet such official requests.
Shen Liangchuan was not home yet.
After some thought, she decided to call him.
However after attempting it, she realized that he had turned off his cell phone.
Qiao Lian then called Song Cheng. When he picked up the call, she noticed he was talking very softly. “Ms. Qiao, what’s up?”
Qiao Lian bit her lip and asked, “Is Shen Liangchuan with you?”
Song Cheng replied, “He is here next to me, but something came up at the filming location and he’s now talking to the director. He can’t come to the phone right now.”
Qiao Lian heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing these words.
After the match had ended, he had left in a great hurry. She was worried that it had something to do with his ident.i.ty as Zichuan being discovered.
Just like how they had been supposed to meet eight years ago and he never showed up…
Now knowing that he wasn’t trying to avoid her, she was relieved. “Okay, I’ll talk to him later tonight then.”
After she hung up, she made another call to the team’s villa to speak with Zombie Leader.
Su Penghao had always been quite arrogant, he had never liked doing things like publicity events. Before today, their club had kept such a low profile that no one knew they existed. To the extent that during the match, there was only a small handful of fans supporting them.
When she got through the line, Qiao Lian started to explain, “Zombie Leader, the situation is this. The organizer would like us to go for a photoshoot. Could you check your schedule and see if you have time? Actually, since we are playing these games—”
She was trying to convince him, when he interrupted her midway and said decisively, “Sure, when?”
Qiao Lian was caught off guard by the unexpected response.
She looked at her cell phone. Was this the same Zombie Leader who would disagree and argue with her about every little matter?
Was the guy feeling unwell?!
She coughed once. “It’s in an hour. Could you guys get ready to be on your way? I’ll go there directly.”
“Sure, see you in a bit.”
After he hung up, Qiao Lian was in a slight daze. It had gone so smoothly that it was unbelievable.
She slapped herself lightly on the face to wake herself up, trying hard not to think too much about Zi Chuan. Then she left the house, hailed a cab and headed to the organizer’s venue.
Just as she arrived, she saw a car parked outside, by the front entrance. Purple Fairy emerged from the car.
The moment she saw Qiao Lian, she halted.
