Qiao Nian lowered her eyelids and said politely, "Really, no need. I have a friend coming over later, I'll wait for them to come and eat together."
A friend of mine...
For some reason Liang Conglin remembered that when they were in the illegal area, Qiao Nian had said something similar, saying that a friend was coming.
Not long after, her friend arrived, who was one of the main members of the Red Alliance.
"Okay then. If you need us to take you, just send a message to me or your teacher Du."
Liang Conglin didn't ask who the friend she was talking about was. Instead, he seemed to remember something and looked at Qiao Nian several times. He spoke with some difficulty, "Um...Qiao Nian, do you know that the D country player Aiden withdrew from the competition?"
Qiao Nian sat cross-legged, one hand supporting his face, and tilted his head. A hint of surprise flashed across his black pupils, and his voice was slightly hoarse, with a rather unexpected tone: "Aiden withdrew from the competition?"
Liang Conglin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't seem to know about this matter. He said, "Yeah. I just heard the news half an hour ago."
Liang Conglin looked at her again: "...Qiao Nian, I heard from your teacher Du that you met them before you came up, and Aiden even greeted you."
"..." Qiao Nian frowned, his eyes looking a little depressed.
This guy who is obsessed with thin waists...maybe he can go to the red light district of Independence Island to develop his career.
His brain is not working well, so he should raise money to see a doctor, so that he won't be like a middle school boy every day, causing trouble for himself even in illegal areas...
Liang Conglin saw her silence, his heart once again in his throat, looking at Qiao Nian, his face could not hide the complex expression: "You..."
He couldn't help but think of Qiao Nian's friend in the illegal area!
Aiden is a top hacker in the top 20 of the Heavenly Ranking and a member of the Red Alliance. Although he is not a main member, Qiao Nian knows the main member of the Red Alliance, Xiyaokong.
He couldn't help but think more about whether Qiao Nian had secretly contacted the thin-waisted man and asked him to make Aiden withdraw before the game.
He didn't think too much about this matter.
I just didn’t expect that Qiao Nian had such a good relationship with the Red Alliance!
"Don't feel pressured. I'm just asking casually. If you don't want to talk about it, forget it." Liang Conglin was very considerate. Seeing Qiao Nian's silence, he was worried that Qiao Nian would feel embarrassed because of his words. He quickly waved his hand, raised his eyebrows, smiled at the corners of his lips, and gently changed the subject: "Are you really going out to eat with us at noon?"
Qiao Nian moved this time. She changed her sitting position. Her fair face was very eye-catching. She said, "I really won't go. My friend will be here soon."
"Okay." Seeing that she really didn't want to go, Liang Conglin nodded, but didn't force her to go. He walked over, silently patted the girl's shoulder, and said softly: "Don't feel too much pressure for tomorrow's game. After Aiden withdrew, the most competitive player is only Mas, and he will definitely win the championship of this competition. Your teacher Du and I only hope that you will be happy."
The reason Liang Conglin came here this time was not only to ask Qiao Nian if she wanted to eat, but also to help her relax and comfort her.
"As long as you have fun and can grow in this competition, we will be satisfied." He raised his hand again, patted the girl's shoulder, and said calmly and forcefully: "So don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"Well, thank you Principal Liang, I'm not under any pressure." Qiao Nian was wearing a baseball cap. When she lowered her head slightly, her eyes were covered by the brim of the hat.
Liang Conglin felt relieved when he saw that she was indeed not under any pressure.
"Just because you're not stressed."
