113. Victory will eventually belong to you
Three days later, the world's four major city competitions will begin.
This year's Asian city competition will be held in Zecheng, the capital of Lan Country.
At this moment, the contestants are waiting in the backstage area.
Su Wei puffed up her bangs to cover the scar under her eye.
She has repeated this action no less than twenty times today.
Xia Chi felt a little uncomfortable seeing her like this.
But he still pretended to comfort her cheerfully: "Mom, it's okay. This scar is not ugly at all. It doesn't affect your looks at all. In my heart, you are the most beautiful."
Su Wei heard the boy's clumsy words of comfort. She put aside the depression in her heart, smiled, then reached out and rubbed the boy's head.
She didn't say anything, but Xia Chi still felt that she was obviously more relaxed than before.
Xia Chi's sparkling puppy eyes narrowed, and his invisible wolf tail was wagging with joy.
Of course, at this moment, there should still be a big wolf.
"Why hasn't your dad come back yet?"
Su Zhi couldn't help but look towards the door.
Xia Chi immediately stood up: "I'll go and call him."
Just ten seconds after Xia Chi left, Lu Yaoyao called her, "Sister, let's go, it's almost our turn to go on stage."
There are ten minutes left.
Su Zhi lowered her eyes slightly, put away her lost look, and stood up: "I'm here."
From the players' waiting area to the competition stage's waiting area, one has to walk through a corridor that is not too far away.
The commentator's voice came, along with the occasional shouts from the audience.
The volume was several times higher than that of the qualifying rounds, and I felt as if I had returned to my previous life.
But at that time, I was covered with thorns, and now...
Su Zhi was thinking absentmindedly when she suddenly felt a pulling sensation on her wrist.
She was caught off guard and was pulled backwards.
Just as she was about to raise her hands to resist, a cold, clear and familiar breath suddenly enveloped her.
Su Zhi was stunned for a moment, then looked up and met a handsome face.
"Hubby!" she exclaimed.
"Um."
Xia Linxing looked at her with a smile in his eyes. He raised his hand and stroked the scar under the corner of her eye with his slender fingertips.
It feels like something is stuck on it, and it feels soft and has a faint fragrance that smells very nice.
"What is this?"
Su Wei blinked, and as her remaining eyes looked downward, she vaguely saw a golden light.
She couldn't help but reach out to touch it, but was suddenly caught by his big hand.
"Okay, time to go on stage, little cat."
Xia Linxing stopped talking, and suddenly held her soft cheeks, leaned over and gave her a fleeting kiss.
"I'll be cheering you on from the audience."
Their breaths intertwined, he looked deeply into her eyes: "Victory will eventually belong to you."
Su Zhi raised her eyes and stared into his dark and deep eyes without blinking.
The disappointment in her heart disappeared, she narrowed her eyes, and her lips swelled up with joy.
"Um."
At the end of the corridor, there was brilliant light and a sea of people.
The competition adopts a BO5 (best of five) format. Several teams from countries including China, Lanzhou, Hankou, Manchuria, etc. will compete against each other for seven days to ultimately determine the starting team for the World Championship.
This is a tough battle.
In the EC team, except for Su Zhi and Shi Xubai, the others did not have much experience in big competitions, but no one was stage frightened.
"The regional city tournaments are the final key to unlocking the world championships."
In a high-end club in Yancheng, China.
Jonathan exhaled a puff of thick smoke, looked at the woman opposite him and smiled casually.
"This is a good opportunity. Are you sure you don't want to do it?"
“Ahem.”
The smell of cigarettes could not be blocked even through the mask, and Shen Shiyue couldn't help but cough.
After a two-second pause, she lowered her voice and spoke.
"No."
"The higher you stand, the harder you fall."
She handed a card to Jonathan, her eyes lit up with smile: "Coach Joe knows what to do."
Jonathan took the card from her and raised his eyebrows: "Balance?"
"yes."
"Tsk," he casually spun the card between his fingers, "Aren't you afraid that I'll regret it after I take the money?"
"Of course I am."
Shen Shiyue smiled faintly, took out a lighter from his pocket, and lit a cigarette for herself: "However, the most important thing in doing business is trust, isn't it?"
As she moved closer, wisps of smoke blew across Jonathan's cheeks.
Jonathan smiled, and the indifference in his eyes faded a little. It was a rare moment when he showed a bit of admiration for this woman who, in his impression, had always been stupid and funny.
"Of course."
