Before Yan could come to a conclusion, the door was pushed open.
The coach, Qin Ran, and the others all came in.
The rest of the OST members and staff all stood up and swarmed over.
"Coach!"
"Coach!"
"We won!"
Although they were calling the coach, their eyes were focused on Qin Ran.
In each of their groups, screenshots of Qin Ran's account in the first district had already been circulated.
Even in Team OST, apart from a few old players, there was rarely an account from the first district even though the legend had been heard of.
They had also seen Yi Jiming's interview.
They knew that this was an old member of the previous OST. Who were the old members?! Although outsiders were unaware, OST insiders were very clear.
They had already suppressed their fanatical feelings towards Qin Ran.
Qin Ran put on her black sweater hat and partially covered her forehead. She glanced around the lounge and chuckled."I'm looking for Yan, everyone else can go out."
The coach stood a few steps behind her and said when he saw how stunned the other people were, "Go out."
Bam—
Everyone went out and finally relaxed.
"What the hell. Just now... was that her?"
"I think so..." someone said slowly.
Inside, Yan subconsciously put away his phone and stood up from his gaming chair. He glanced past everyone and finally stared at Qin Ran.
He suddenly felt uneasy for some reason.
"Coach, " he called.
The coach only glanced at him coldly.
"Tell me." Qin Ran didn't sit and just leaned on the armrest of the gaming chair by the door. She turned to stare directly at Yan and raised an eyebrow."Why did you drug Yang Fei?"
The coach and Yi Jiming followed behind Qin Ran.
Yan wasn't a fool and had sensed the coach's attitude as well. He could feel that the coach was especially polite to her, even more so than towards Yang Fei.
Yan's heart sank and he pursed his lips."I don't know what you are talking about."
"The dormitory is equipped with monitoring, and Yang Fei's things will definitely be taken for investigation. We will find out who it is as soon as we check the fingerprints." Qin Ran leaned back and clenched her fists."Yang Fei's hands contain hidden damage and he can no longer play in the future. Even the compensation alone will be able to crush you."
The coach thought that Yang Fei had been harmed by someone.
And that he would be fine after a while.
But after hearing this, he almost shouted, "Miss Qin?! You... Yang Fei's hand..."
Without hesitating, Yi Jiming lowered his eyebrows, walked over to Yan, and punched him hard in the face.
When he lowered his eyes, his light and breezy expression from the interview just now was no longer there. The bottom of his eyes was blood-red and his normally messy blond hair even seemed especially cold.
"Why did you harm Sun God and OST?" It had not been easy to maintain OST to this day. When Qin Ran left back then, he and Yang Fei had persisted on.
Yi Jiming's image in the team was usually unreliable and was different from the coach and Yang Fei's wise image, so it was the first time they saw his attitude change.
This showed that Yang Fei's hand could really be...
Yan froze for a moment and took a step back, his heart beating wildly and sweat rolling down his spine."No, that's impossible. They told me it was only to prevent Yang Fei from playing tonight, how could he not be able to play in the future..."
Hearing this, Qin Ran nodded and stood up from her chair. She looked at the coach and said, "You can handle the rest."
The Yunguang Consortium would handle this matter well.
As for Yan, even if Yunguang Consortium didn't intervene, no future eSports team would accept him with his character. He had no future left.
The coach nodded but felt cold sweat on his back.
After Qin Ran left, he turned to Yi Jiming."Yang Fei... he..."
"I'm not clear about the situation, but he has been sent over to God Qin's friend." Yi Jiming glared fiercely at Yan.
The coach called Yunguang Consortium's officials to deal with both Yang Fei and Yan.
They especially had to deal with Yang Fei. According to Yi Jiming, if he couldn't even be saved by the hospital, only the Yunguang Consortium could find a solution.
The coach called someone and it was picked up quickly.
It was his assistant's voice.
"His hand will face sequelae?" Hearing this, the assistant froze for a long while before replying tensely, "Is he okay? Where is he now? I will let someone contact Country M immediately..."
The coach told the assistant that Yang Fei was with Qin Ran.
The assistant had already made contact with a few people from Country M and immediately put down his phone after hearing the coach's words.
"How is it?" Yi Jiming didn't hear much of the conversation.
He asked anxiously after seeing the coach hang up with a strange expression.
The coach put the phone back."They said... if he's with Miss Qin, then..."
It was okay even if he had broken his hand...
Yi Jiming was speechless.
The two eventually sent a video call to Yang Fei out of worry about his situation.
Yang Fei was lying on the chair of Gu Xichi's laboratory at this time and smiled when he received the video call from Yi Jiming."Your game this evening was great."
Qin Ran was exceptionally impressive. Weibo's hot searches were about Qin Ran all night.
"Yeah, how are you doing now?" Yi Jiming glanced at the video and originally thought that Qin Ran's friend's house was an ordinary place.
However, there were a bunch of precision instruments he had never seen before in the background.
Yi Jiming was taken aback.
How was this an ordinary friend's house? This was basically a laboratory?!
**
At the same time, Qin Ran and the others arrived at Gu Xichi's house.
Qin Ran went directly to the laboratory on the third floor.
Yang Fei was still half-lying on the patient's chair.
He supported himself with the chair and stood up immediately when he saw Qin Ran."God Qin, " he called weakly.
Qin Ran glanced at him sideways, picked up a list next to him, and looked at the bunch of medical terms on the paper. Unable to understand it, she frowned delicately and threw it to Cheng Juan behind her, annoyed.
Cheng Juan took a look at it and leaned back slightly.
Gu Xichi was still busy with the test tube.
"No need to look at it, your friend is fine. I will give him medicine later." Gu Xichi put the test tube on the shelf.
Then, he picked up the microscope and observed the petri dish.
Hearing this, Qin Ran rested her mind and thought it was probably nothing much.
It was just that Cheng Juan's words at the lounge had been a little scary.
Cheng Juan finished reading it and threw the list on the table. He seemed to know what Qin Ran was thinking, for he raised an eyebrow slightly and said in dissatisfaction at her suspicion, "I didn't intend to scare you on purpose."
Yang Fei would continue staying with Gu Xichi. Otherwise, he might really not be able to play anymore if he was treated by someone else.
Qin Ran touched her nose with one hand and lowered her head to stop talking.
A video call was sent to the laboratory's computer again.
Gu Xichi took the microscope and was about to go to another instrument, but he turned back to pick up the video call.
Jiang Dongye was originally sitting next to Yang Fei, coldly scrolling through his Weibo while glancing over occasionally. Seeing this, he stood up immediately and said, "Brother Gu, don't move, let me do it!"
He took the microscope from Gu Xichi and brought it to the other instrument.
Gu Xichi took off his medical gloves and pressed the answer button.
"Xiao Chi, are you really going to release your report tomorrow?" The video showed the old man from the medical organization. He held a report in his hands and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose.
"I will release it quickly so you won't ask me for another study this month!" Gu Xichi narrowed his slightly sinister eyes.
The old man exploded."You bad disciple..."
Cheng Juan saw that Qin Ran wasn't looking at him, so he also walked over slowly and said in a light tone, "Hey, don't sign my name on it."
"Beloved disciple, you're still there?" The old man immediately changed to an affable tone and his fierce expression was kept away."Are you not signing your name again this time?"
Cheng Juan had done a lot of research with people in the medical organization, but of course, he usually just spoke casually.
There would naturally be people trying to snatch the experiment from him.
In the first batch of students, more than half of the graduate students of Country Flower had received their inspiration from Cheng Juan.
But he never once signed his name.
Cheng Juan responded casually before reaching out to take the report from Gu Xichi and looking down at it.
The old man in the video found a pen and crossed out Cheng Juan's name.
Then, he suddenly remembered something again."Bad disciple, did you talk to your big boss about the subsidy? Let me tell you, our medical organization is too poor to even function further..."
He looked up at Gu Xichi and began to pour out his sufferings.
After settling the time of the report's release, Gu Xichi had turned around to prepare medicine for Yang Fei.
After hearing this, he turned sideways and frowned."I don't know. Should I try contacting him at night?"
The diamond big boss's appearance was unpredictable. So, although the two of them were friends, Gu Xichi might not always be able to find him.
Other than Matthew, Gu Xichi rarely saw the other two big bosses who supported Gu Xichi according to the rumors.
Cheng Juan was reaching for a glass of water from Xiao Er's tray to take a sip. When he heard this, he raised an eyebrow calmly.
Gu Xichi prepared Yang Fei's medicine and let him take it directly.
"Xiao Er, water." Gu Xichi snapped his fingers.
Xiao Er brought another glass of water over.
Yang Fei wasn't ignorant and had seen much of the world, but when he stepped into Gu Xichi's house, every second was a shock to him.
Swallowing the medicine with water, Yang Fei's eyes fell on Xiao Er and he asked, "Where did you buy this robot?"
He also wanted to buy one.
Jiang Dongye had also wanted to ask Gu Xichi about Xiao Er.
He was prepared to go back to Beijing and make a fully-automatic lazy hall at home. Hearing this, he couldn't help but look up and lean forward.
Gu Xichi's white sleeves were rolled up as he inspected Yang Fei seriously. Hearing his question, he said vaguely, "You cannot buy it, it was customized."
On the other side, Qin Ran put down her cup and said lightly, "You guys talk, I will go back to sleep."
**
At night.
Qin Ran finished her shower.
While wiping her hair, she took out her computer from her bag and looked at the time—it was already eleven o'clock.
She had been a little uneasy recently. Although she had already called Chen Shulan in the morning, she still wanted to send a video call to confirm her condition.
But looking at the time, she gave up.
She picked up her phone and saw that Yi Jiming had sent her OST's official website.
Qin Ran clicked on the link.
She automatically followed the official website and it seemed to send out a notification to her circle of friends.
Before she could take a look at it, someone knocked on the door three times.
It was a very polite and gentlemanly knock.
Qin Ran's hair was half-dried and Gu Xichi's house had a constant temperature of 24 degrees all year round, so she threw her towel casually to the side and opened the door.
It was Cheng Juan.
He leaned halfway on the door frame, deep in thought.
He looked up when he heard the door opening and stared at Qin Ran with bright peach-blossom eyes. He seemed to smile slightly and looked extremely gentle under the soft lights.
Qin Ran coughed and was silent.
"Hey..." Cheng Juan smiled motionlessly and tilted his head while smirking casually."I'm here to listen to your explanation, God Qin."
Qin Ran was speechless.
After a while, she turned sideways."Come in."
"You recognized me the first time you logged into my account, right?" Cheng Juan sat on the sofa with his white fingers placed on the side and seemed to ask casually.
Qin Ran poured a glass of water for herself and Cheng Juan before lowering her head even further and giving up completely."Yeah."
She originally thought that after asking these questions, Cheng Juan would continue to ask her about three years ago, so she squeezed her cup and thought of some countermeasures.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Juan went silent after asking this.
He finished his glass of water and stood up to leave.
A little stunned, Qin Ran put down her cup as well and paused before standing up.
Cheng Juan opened the door, but before he stepped out, he turned around and reached out to give Qin Ran a small hug.
Under the dim lights, Cheng Juan's voice was low and slow and even a little husky. He almost gritted his teeth and said with inexplicable emotions, "I waited three days for you!"
"Boom!"
He closed the door.
Qin Ran stood frozen in shock.
After a long while, she looked up, slowly walked towards the sofa, and sat back down.
Her cell phone lit up on the table.
Qin Ran ignored it.
It lit up again.
Qin Ran reached out and saw that it was from Yan Xi—
[Screenshot]
The first message was a screenshot of her circle of friends, showing that she had shared OST's official website. Below it, the street she was currently at in Shanghai was shown.
Yan Xi—
[Brother Dei, I'm also in Shanghai. Shall we meet?]
