Under the spotlight, three figures walked out to the stage just below the gigantic âQ&Vâ team logo.
Xu Shiwei was the first to come out.
âSo handsome!â Someone exclaimed loudly.
Behind him, a girlâs slim figure began to appear. Many people subconsciously held their breath, waiting for the girl to finally arrived under the spotlight. Everyone seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then the whole venue was exploded with surprised voices and exclamations.
âIs-is that really God [Q]?!â
âMy God! Too beautiful!â The legendary God [Q] was not ugly at all. On the contrary, she was beautiful, far beyond anyoneâs expectations!
ââIs this little princess perhaps going into the wrong place?
Some people suddenly had this doubt.
âGosh, itâs a goddess!â
âWho was blind enough to dare to say that [Q] is ugly?! They must be blinded by jealousy!â
âDamn, I want to hack that fool!â
âWhy do I think that [Q] looks so young?â
âThe f*ck? Is she a minor?â
Everyoneâs focus instantly changed from Su Beiâs beautiful face to her age.
âStill a minor and already such a master? Is it even possible?â
âMaybe she has a babyface. Babyface goddess.â
The next moment, MCâs question broke those peopleâs fantasy.
âQ, you seem to be the main focus of everyoneâs topic even before the final began.â The MC half-jokingly said.
âEveryone has always been curious about Qâs identity, so letâs take a few minutes before the game start for a quick interview.â The MC asked the first question: âAre you really Q?â
Su Bei nodded. âYes,â she smiled playfully: âDo I look like a fake?â
MC: âDoes the handle name [Q] have a special meaning?â
Su Bei: âMy fatherâs surname is Qin, isnât it special enough?â
The MC smiled: âWhat about God v? Is there a meaning behind your handle name?â
Xu Shiwei: âYes, I was originally called 4v. Right, Baby Q?â
Host: âHaha, it seems that God V has a good relationship with Q even in private.â
âOf course we are!â Under Daddy Qinâs murderous glare, Xu Shiwei patted Su Beiâs head affectionately. He then glanced back at the baffled audience and secretly laughed in satisfaction.
At this time, the commentator suddenly interrupted: âLet me ask the question that everyone is eager to know. Someone in the forum said that the format of our finals was changed for Q, and that you have a very powerful âpatron.â Is it true?â
The commentatorâs rude question not only made Mr. Qin, Su Xiaobao, Xu Shiwei, and Su Beiâs other friendsâ face darkened, but also put the MC in an awkward position: This commentator had a good relationship with a particular participant who made caused an uproar about [Q] before. But to deliberately targeting [Q] at this moment was absolutely not a smart move.
However, the question had been asked out, so they could only try to salvage the situation. The MC laughed awkwardly and said: âIf you think this question is infringing your privacy, you donât need to answer.â
âItâs okay.â Su Bei smiled. She turned her gaze to the direction of Mr. Qin and Su Xiaobaoâs seat and said: âActually, itâs only half-true.â
âEh?â What does she mean?
âItâs true that I have a powerful âpatron,â who is also my biological father.â
Su Beiâs words made the audience exploded again. For the first time, Su Bei had the cool feeling of bragging about her father openly.
From the seat underneath the stage, Mr. Qin also smiled upon seeing his daughterâs proud look.
The MC promptly threw the last question: âLet me ask you for the last time. Baby Q, how old are you?â
Su Bei: âFourteen, but Iâm going to be fifteen soon.â
After several questions from the MC, the audience began to recover from the shock caused by [Q] âs beauty. However, when they knew her age, many people got shocked for the second time, especially those who also participated in this competitionââand lost to [Q].
âF*ck! She is only fourteen!â They were actually beaten down by a fourteen-year-old little girl!
âHow the heck did she grow up? Eating keyboard?!â [Q] was already at this level, and she was still fourteen. Did it mean they were all embarrassing losers???
However, those peopleâs shock still couldnât be compared to the heavy blow a certain person receivedââLin Shaochi.
Lin Shaochi was standing in the special seating area reserved for the organizers and sponsors, staring at the girl on the stage with a stiff expression. At this moment, for the first time ever, Lin Shaochi didnât want to believe his own eyes and refused to acknowledge the scene he saw now.
Lin Shaochi once imagined that [Q] might be a lively girl, or perhaps a quiet person who didnât like socializing, or just an ordinary girl. Sometimes, he wondered whether [Q] actually was a mature and intellectual womanâŚbut he never thought that [Q] would actually be Mr. Qinâs daughter! And she was even the underage Qin Yue!
Thinking back now, there were actually many clues scattered around. When Lin Shaochi first made contact with [Q], the other party said that she temporarily couldnât accept a formal job offer. [Q] âs availability was also matched with studentsâ schedules. Lin Shaochi also recalled how skillful Miss Qin was when she spoke out at the NST meeting that day, and then that trip to K country where they never metâŚ
Apparently, there was a logical explanation behind it.
Even so, Lin Shaochi still couldnât convince himself to face realityââif others couldnât accept the fact that [Q] was already so skillful at such a young age, then what Lin Shaochi couldnât accept was the fact that the girl that moved his heart for the first time in twenty years of his life was actually someone he couldnât fall in love with.
Lin Shaochi gripped the gift box inside his pocket so tightly that his palm began to hurt. This was the gift he bought for [Q] during his business trip beforeââa necklace with wisteria pendant. It has the meaning of longing andâŚfascinating love. But now, this gift has become a joke.
On the stage, Su Bei of course had no idea about the storm surging inside Lin Shaochiâs mind. After a few minutes of warm-up chat with the MC, the two teams went to their designated area. The lights on the stage were dimmed, while the team areas on both sides were lit up. On the huge displays, the left and right sides were projecting each teamâs logo, while the center one was showing the stats of the two competing teams.
After they sat down, Xu Shiwei teased Su Bei: âHow is it? Has your skill rusted during the vacation?â
Su Bei smiled confidently: âOf course not.â
âThatâs good. After we start, you should only concentrate on attacking that side. Leave the rest to me.â Xu Shiwei smiled and patted Su Beiâs head. The next second, he put away his joking mode and turned on his focus.
After the game start, both sides were instantly engaged in a fierce battle. The fight between two teams of masters was undoubtedly very exciting, even more so than mundane gossips. However, Su Beiâs team didnât have a particularly hard time here. In the end, Su Bei broke the opponentâs security wall within 24.5 minutes.
Amidst the enthusiastic yells from their supporters, âQ&Vâ won beautifully.
