Gu Qingqiu silently called out to the male protagonist system in her mind for several hours before she finally heard the familiar mechanical voice.
Male Protagonist System: [Host, do you need something from me?]
Gu Qingqiu: [I just want to confirm, will Bai Jingyuan really win the world championship? Urgent!]
Male Protagonist System: [Does the host have some misunderstanding about the male protagonist's luck?]
Gu Qingqiu: [Phew... That's all, thank you!]
Male Protagonist System: [Yes, host. The current experience bar progress is 93%. Please keep up the good work.]
Gu Qingqiu: [How come I'm already 93? So fast? I've only been in this world for a little over a year...]
Male Protagonist System: [Completing the mission sooner allows you to leave this world sooner, save more life points, and earn more settlement coins. Doesn't the host like that?]
Gu Qingqiu: [Ah... I think he'll like it...]
Male protagonist system: [Host? You're not reluctant to leave, are you?]
Gu Qingqiu: [System, we're quite familiar now, so I won't lie to you, there is indeed a bit of something. Give me some time to process my emotions.]
The system emitted a few intermittent buzzing sounds, as if it were carefully considering its wording.
Male Protagonist System: [Host, a short, sharp pain is better than a long, drawn-out one. What difference will it make if you stay for five or ten years? You will leave this world sooner or later. Bai Jingyuan is just a passerby to you. After you leave, a Forget-Me-Not herb will free you from emotional torment. Do you still remember the male protagonists from the previous worlds? Do you remember their names?]
Gu Qingqiu: [Okay, I understand, don't worry.]
The system seemed worried, but the other temporary host seemed to need some attention, so it didn't say anything more and left silently.
Gu Qingqiu lay sprawled on the hotel bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
When she was with Bai Jingyuan, she couldn't think of the other male leads, but when she was alone like this, she seemed to be able to think of them again. Gu Qingqiu felt that the so-called forget-me-not had a bug.
Gu Qingqiu suddenly stopped expecting Bai Jingyuan to win the world championship. If he didn't win this time, she might still accompany him to the world championship in the second or third year.
However, she quickly dismissed this idea. She wasn't such a selfish person. She knew that e-sports had always been Bai Jingyuan's dream, his inner sanctuary, and it was not to be defiled. She shouldn't have such thoughts.
After rousing herself, Gu Qingqiu appeared in the King team's training room with a big smile on her face.
The training room was filled with a tense atmosphere, as everyone typed away on their keyboards with blank expressions.
Gu Qingqiu cleared her throat and announced excitedly, "Everyone—we're going to win the championship!"
Everyone was startled. One team member said helplessly, "Boss Gu! Stop trying to make us laugh, we really can't take it!"
"Really, really!" Gu Qingqiu's smile remained unchanged. "I just had a dream. I dreamt that you won the championship, and I also dreamt that Jingzai was holding the trophy, sobbing and proposing to me!"
After these words were spoken, the air in the training room fell into an eerie silence for a few seconds.
Bai Jingyuan spoke somewhat awkwardly, "Sister, what if the dream is the opposite of reality?"
Gu Qingqiu blinked. "Huh? So you're not going to propose to me?"
Bai Jingyuan glanced helplessly at his teammates, "...What if I don't win the championship?"
It has to be said that after Gu Qingqiu's antics, the training room suddenly felt more vibrant, with some teammates even joking, "Even if it's just for Gu Qingqiu's dream boss's marriage proposal plan, they have to fight tooth and nail to win the world championship."
"That's right! If we lose the game and our leader misses this opportunity to propose, who knows what he'll do to us!" the other teammates echoed.
But on the day King team actually won the world championship, when Gu Qingqiu saw Bai Jingyuan kneeling down on one knee, trembling as he took out the prepared ring from his pocket and proposed to her while sobbing, she was still stunned.
The teammates cheered, "Marry him! Say yes!"
Gu Qingqiu glanced at them and then realized that her casually made-up words of comfort actually coincided with Bai Jingyuan's original marriage proposal plan.
Bai Jingyuan's voice trembled with nervousness: "Sister... Gu Qingqiu, do you know? My childhood dream was to become an e-sports player. Now I not only achieved it, but I also won the world championship. But actually, a year ago I couldn't have imagined that I would have this day. At that time, I didn't even dare to dream of becoming an e-sports player. My simplest wish was to be able to buy a scallion pancake to eat every day."
Gu Qingqiu couldn't help but be moved, and her eyes reddened.
Bai Jingyuan continued, "You are my light, illuminating all the darkness in the abyss, saving me from the night into the day. I love you, I love you so much."
Bai Jingyuan raised the large diamond ring in his hand slightly and continued, "This ring is the result of all the income I earned this year from live streaming, shooting commercials, contracts, etc. It was custom-made before I came to Berlin. I want to tell you that I am willing to bet everything on this one time. Will you marry me? From now on, you will be my everything, and everything I have will be yours."
When did this little rascal become so eloquent? Is this the power of love?
Gu Qingqiu nodded through her tears. As if afraid that Gu Qingqiu would change her mind, Bai Jingyuan quickly and carefully slipped the ring onto the ring finger of Gu Qingqiu's left hand. He lowered his head and kissed the spot where the ring and the ring finger met, then straightened up and pulled Gu Qingqiu into his arms.
The audience in the stadium couldn't help but cheer, and viewers watching the live stream on their screens were also moved by this moment.
Bai Jingyuan received a response after confessing his feelings to the whole world.
However, although Gu Qingqiu accepted the marriage proposal, Bai Jingyuan still had a few months before he could reach the legal marriage age and get a marriage certificate.
Before that, Gu Qingqiu finally took Bai Jingyuan home to meet her parents.
Although Gu Qingqiu's parents still had some prejudice against Bai Jingyuan as their son-in-law, they no longer objected to the marriage. After all, they had put on such a touching show in front of the whole world, and even their old friends had sent WeChat messages and made phone calls to congratulate them! Could they really say that nothing had happened?
Moreover, a world champion esports player is worth over 100 million yuan, which is more than enough to be a good match for Gu Qingqiu. It's just that Bai Jingyuan always feels that he is not good enough.
Bai Jingyuan dressed up very carefully that day, looking like a pure and innocent male college student. On the contrary, Gu Qingqiu's parents thought that Gu Qingqiu, with heavy makeup and bright red lipstick, was trying to abduct a child!
Bai Jingyuan had inquired about Gu Qingqiu's parents' preferences beforehand and prepared gifts. As soon as he entered the door, he addressed them as "Dad" and "Mom," quickly winning them over. They even warned Gu Qingqiu before they left that she shouldn't be promiscuous and let down such a good boy as Bai Jingyuan. Gu Qingqiu was ashamed and immediately agreed. After dinner, she dragged Bai Jingyuan out the door.
