âJing Jie, are you alright?â
Qi Sheng looked at him in concern. Although Jing Jieâs mistake cost them a huge price during the beginner stage of the match, Qi Sheng wasnât blaming him for it. He was just worried.
âIâm⦠Fine.â
Jing Jie said two words after a long time, but this wasnât good enough to convince them.
âXiao Jie, I need to talk to you. You can join them later,â Jinqian suddenly spoke up.
The rest of the team turned towards Jinqian. They didnât know how to address the heroine that had saved them.
âYou areâ¦â
âMy sister!â
Jing Jie was suddenly able to introduce her smoothly.
When the rest of them heard that she was Jing Jieâs elder sister, all of them were surprised.
âIâm Jinqian.â
âMiss Jing, we⦠Our match is about to start now. If Xiao Jie stays here, we will have one less member on the team.â
âHe would only be a hindrance in your match if he went in this way. A blunt knife will never be able to chop wood. Iâve been busy quite recently and didnât have the time to talk to him. Your team will only be able to perform as expected once I convince him of his problems. He wonât be able to join you for this round, but the other party isnât that strong. You will still be able to catch up in the third round.â
The rest of them didnât know what to say, especially since they agreed with her as well.
But⦠This is the Nationals Semi-Finals. How could she say it as if it was just a trivial matter?
Qi Sheng didnât know what to say. He was aware of Jing Jieâs autism, and he should bear the consequences of his own actions.
He believed in his teammate.
Qi Sheng gave a soft pat to Jing Jieâs shoulder as encouragement before leading his team onto the stage.
When the rest of them left, Jinqian asked, âWhatâs wrong? Your level today isnât even half as good as the one that you played at home the other day.â
Jing Jie kept his head down. He didnât know what to say.
âXiao Jie, if you donât say it, I will not be able to help you.â
After hearing Jinqianâs words, tears rolled down Jing Jieâs face.
He immediately fell into Jinqianâs arms. Jing Jie, who was at least one head taller than Jinqian, cried like a child in her arms. He was just like an injured beast.
After a few minutes, he finally opened his mouth and said, âThey⦠They donât want me anymore.â
âThey donât want you anymore?â Jinqian repeated what Jing Jie said.
Then, she thought of how selfish that couple was and asked, âThey⦠Did they throw the company to you and then end their relationship with you?â
Jing Jie, who was busy crying, suddenly stopped.
He pulled himself away from Jinqianâs arms and stared in shock. From how confused he looked, it was a heartbreaking but yet hilarious scene.
âI was right?â
Jing Jie frowned, about to cry again, but soon he was able to control himself.
His sister was so smart. She could easily guess what his parents did.
As a man, all he did was cry when he heard what happened. It was like the end of the world for him.
Suddenly, there was a thought that appeared in his mind, as if something became clearer all of a sudden.
Seeing how Jing Jie wasnât saying anything but his face was filled with questions, Jinqian said, âActually, I was in the same state as you are now. I found something that I really liked after a long time, but if it was something that she didnât like, she would want to take it away from me. As for them, they would get me to give it to her at whatever cost..â
