Chapter 323 The Final Match Begins
Tang Xia was actually panicking when she interrogated the upper management. Until now, her hands and feet were still cold and trembling. The warm cup of coffee was just nice to warm her nervous heart.
July sat down slowly beside Tang Xia. The two looked at each other and actually had nothing to say to each other. After a long while of silence, Tang Xia opened her mouth first. “I know that you didn’t tell me because you’re worried that I’ll be sad and you want to tell me after I’m better.”
While she said so, faint darkness flashed across her eyes. She turned to look at July, who was sitting beside her with her brows furrowed.
Tang Xia said faintly, “But I hope that you can just tell me all of it directly. Then I’ll be able to digest them at one go. Otherwise, after I climb out of a pit, I will fall into another one right away. This is very torturous.”
This sentence seemed to poke directly at July’s heart. After a long while of silence, she slowly opened her mouth. “Back then, I didn’t know whether I was doing it right or not. In fact, I was there when the police sent you to the hospital.”
Tang Xia froze. She looked up in shock. She always thought that only Ye Yifan came to see her. She did not expect July to go.
July started to recall that day and said slowly, “I didn’t expect you to really be kidnapped. I was in a state of shock right up until I got a call. But when I went to the hospital and saw the red light outside the operating room turn on, and when I saw your pale face that didn’t have a single trace of blood as they pushed you out, I was then really worried.”
July’s gaze at Tang Xia seemed like it had a trace of apology. “I know how hard this journey had been for you. I’ve brought you up myself. When I saw the news and the comments, my heart ached too, so I don’t want to give up on you.”
“But so what if you don’t want to give up? They’ve already made it clear that they’re going to remove some of my rights. I’ve already a useless card. Whatever else that we do will just be a struggle.”
Tang Xia’s eyes grew darker and her whole person exuded a sense of decadence. July naturally knew that she had mustered up great courage to come to the company today. However, she was defeated by the harsh reality once again.
July held onto Tang Xia’s hands slowly and persuaded her sincerely, “It’s okay. As long as you’re still in the company, there’s hope. You are Tang Xia, you should not give up easily.”
However, Tang Xia repelled even more. “So what if I’m in the company? The company only pitied me and kept me because of Ye Yifan. Now that I’ve been banned from doing live streaming and entering competitions, what’s the difference from being kicked out?”
After finishing that, she slammed the coffee cup she was holding onto the table and was totally unaware of her hand that had been splashed with coffee. She stood up and turned to leave right away.
July quickly grabbed her arm and stopped her anxiously. “You can’t go out now, your fans are all outside. They’ve heard that the company disqualified you and came to protest! If you go out, it will cause a commotion!”
Tang Xia was startled and her hand froze on the door handle. However, she did not stop. Instead, she pushed the door open directly. “What’s the use of protesting? There’s still no possibility.” After that, she left and slammed the door shut behind her.
Looking at her back view as she left, July could only sigh helplessly. She slowly took out her phone. “Go get Tang Xia through the back door, don’t let anyone see her.”
July then dangled her weak hand. She leaned against the sofa and stared at the ceiling for a while. She felt that it was good for Tang Xia to go back home and digest all this new information quietly.Read More chapter on our Webnovel Club
For Tang Xia, perhaps time may be the best medicine.
In the next few days, Tang Xia resumed her previous lifestyle again. Every day she lazed around at home and did nothing. Ye Yifan was shocked when he heard that Tang Xia had gone to the company the other day and caused a scene. He quickly went to find Tang Xia but she would not say anything.
Feeling helpless, he could only go to the company to protest. However, it was to no avail until one day, Time-travel Company suddenly faced a real crisis.
Looking at the screen in front of her, July was neither conceited nor rash. Instead, she even chuckled.
Cross-era Livestreaming Company had launched the idea of couple pairing streamers to complete a task. However, other than Tang Xia and Ye Yifan this couple pairing, Time-travel Company had no other couple pairings that they could use to compete. This was an opportunity for Tang Xia.
An opportunity to come back.
Suddenly, a young assistant came running in anxiously. She did not even knock on the door, but July did not blame her. Instead, she took a leisure sip of her coffee. “What’s wrong? Catch your breath first before speaking.”
The young assistant caught her breath and pointed anxiously outside the door as she said, “Sister July, the upper management are having a meeting about the couple pairing streaming. Why aren’t you anxious at all? The upper management looks like they have faced their biggest enemy!”
July slowly put down her cup and glanced at her. Then she turned to look at the comments on the screen that Tang Xia’s fans had left. She could not help but smile.
“This time around, I would like to see how you guys are going to hide Tang Xia!”Read More chapter on our Webnovel Club
“I won’t watch anyone other than our Tang-Ye couple pair!”
“Raise the banner of Tang-Ye!”
“…”
“Let’s go. Since that’s the case, I’d like to go and see what they’ve discussed.” After saying that, she went upstairs slowly without panicking. The young assistant, on the other hand, was so confused that she started scratching her head.
Before entering, July could already hear the intense dispute going on inside. She slowly pushed open the door and walked in. After finding an inconspicuous spot, she sat down and listened as an observer.
A man slammed the table angrily and said, “See? Why did you cancel Tang Xia’s qualifications back then? Now, which one of you can find a couple pairing to compete?”
On the other side, an old gentleman frowned, disapproving, and opposed in a deep voice, “Our company can operate as well without her! We have so many artists. She isn’t the only one who can do that job! I don’t care, just find someone else to replace her!”
A rather alluring woman sneered and said ironically, “Find someone else to replace her? Are you sure you can still win? The biggest highlight of this final is probably the couple pairing. You’re already old, please don’t try to mix in with the new generation. Pedantic.”
Everyone started to voice out their own opinions. July managed to get a good sense of what was going on. Basically, they wanted to find Tang Xia, but they did not want to say it out. Since that was the case, she shall take the lead.
After the meeting, July drove directly to Tang Xia’s house. Tang Xia was extremely decadent at home in the past two days and did not even go online. She did not know what mess the world was in right now. Hearing someone knocking on her door, she got up to open the door.
When she opened the door and saw July’s face, her face became dull instantly. Both of them stood at the door for a long time in silence before Tang Xia invited her in. As July saw how messy the house was, her expression was not very good.
“What do you want to drink?” Tang Xia made an effort to get her some water but was instead dragged back to the sofa by July.
Looking at Tang Xia’s increasingly bad expression, July said slowly, “No need. I’m here not to waste time. I’ll cut straight to the chase. For the competition this time around, the company needs a couple pairing to take part in the final.
“Some of the company’s upper management has proposed for you to come back, so I’m here to ask you to come back to participate in the competition.”
After finishing her sentence, July looked at Tang Xia with anticipation. However, Tang Xia seemed to be contemplating something. She frowned indecisively. “I… I’m not sure if I can…”
However, she suddenly remembered that she went to the company last time to do a live broadcast again. She had wanted to see Chu Tiankuo so badly. She seemed to have found her confidence. “Okay, I’ll go.”
July could not help but smile in satisfaction. “This is the last game, you must do your best.” After saying that, she touched her head like a big sister.
When July spread the news of Tang Xia’s comeback to the media, the upper management then knew that she had decided for herself to bring Tang Xia back. However, they only said a few words about it. After all, given the situation, this was the only way out.
However, despite the company’s announcement of Tang Xia’s comeback and rolled out love and hate gimmicks for Ye-Tang Couple Shippers, the response was still not good.
Tang Xia’s popularity had particularly plummeted since the incident. Only those fans who had witnessed her climb to her spot now step by step cheered for her at this point.
The last match was still held at the Aqua Crystal Stadium but there were fewer spectators, not as many as before. This was especially because the impact of Tang Xia’s controversy from the previous match had remained to this day.
The host pretended as if nothing happened and still tried to hype up the atmosphere. “Come, let us welcome our Ye-Tang Couple Shippers! Today, the show is about them!”
In front of everyone’s intense stares, Tang Xia and Ye Yifan walked slowly before them. However, the response from the spectators was not good. Ye Yifan patted her shoulder comfortably.
However, Tang Xia smiled slightly. “I’m okay, don’t worry.” Seeing that she was so calm, Ye Yifan was relieved. He knew that Tang Xia had matured a lot mentally after the whole saga.
After leaving behind her vanities, she was now much calmer.
Looking back at July who was standing behind them, Tang Xia saw her cheering for her and her smile widened. Both of them slowly walked to the center.
The host watched the time and announced with great excitement, “The final match officially begins!”
Ye Yifan slowly reached out his hand and held Tang Xia’s. Both of them looked at each other in the eye and then smiled lightly before entering the broadcast room together.
When the two of them opened their eyes slowly, they could not help but be startled by the surrounding. Tang Xia turned her head in shock towards Ye Yifan. “This is…”
Ye Yifan smiled with a reminiscence. He then turned to look at her with a gentle gaze and said gently, “Yea, this is the broadcast where we first met. ‘He who Remains is King’.”
Thinking of their first encounter, Tang Xia was also full of reminiscences. She still remembered how she was feeling at the beginning. Now, after all these, she finally reached the final.
However, just when the two of them looked at each other, a system prompt sounded in front of them. [Destroy the Virus]
Tang Xia looked at Ye Yifan in confusion. “What virus?”
However, Ye Yifan’s gaze grew deeper. He slowly looked far at the other side.
He then said in a nearly discernible voice, “It is probably Chu Tiankuo.”
