Chapter 77:
Xiao Xue and Jiang Nan no longer had the arrogance they once flaunted. Xiao Xue finally understood that, in Jiang Yuan’s heart, she and Jiang Nan combined didn’t even compare to a fraction of Jiang Feng’s importance. How foolish they had been to go against Jiang Feng, even attempting to drive him away!
Now, Xiao Xue deeply regretted everything. She felt like her insides were twisting in remorse. “Xiao Feng, please believe me,” she pleaded sincerely. “I can be a good stepmother. I will love you like my own child from now on. Please, forgive me!”
Forgive?
Jiang Feng found their pleas almost amusing. “Why do you think I must forgive you? What, because of your audacity?” His gaze, sharp and intense, felt hotter than the summer sun.
Time had molded his demeanor into something calm and composed, like the finest white jade, exuding a brilliance that was impossible to ignore. Xiao Xue couldn’t even look him in the eye.
“But… it’s been years,” Xiao Xue insisted, desperate. “Why dwell on the past? The future is what matters most. I love your father, and I’m truly sorry this time. Why can’t you give me a chance?”
People passing by slowed their steps, listening in on the confrontation. Some even pulled out their phones to record the scene.
Give you a chance?
Jiang Feng chuckled lightly, the sound carrying a hint of disdain.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, he looked down at them, his expression cold and dismissive. “Showing mercy to an enemy is cruelty to yourself. If the roles were reversed, would you let me go?”
“Of course we would!” they both exclaimed, not hesitating for a moment. They even raised their hands as if swearing an oath.
Their eager, sincere faces only made Jiang Feng feel even more scornful.
Would they really?
Of course not.
He knew it all too well. The tragic end of his past life was proof enough of how they would have treated him. “Don’t waste your time,” he said flatly. “Even if you laid your heart out in front of me, I wouldn’t believe it.”
…
One year later.
WPL Arena.
“Hello, everyone! This is commentator Xiao Yang, and welcome to the WPL arena! Today’s match is the final game of our international competition. We have our QF team going up against South Korea’s LGG team in the last of the BO5 series!”
The camera zoomed in on the row of uniformed e-sports players on stage, while the audience below erupted in cheers. The crowd roared in unison, shouting a single name:
“Breeze!”
“Breeze!”
“Breeze!!”
The entire arena was awash in a sea of blue, the signature color of Jiang Feng, known by his fans as “Breeze.”
This year, the world of e-sports belonged to Jiang Feng. Having excelled in youth training, he obliterated every other player and secured the starter position with ease. And then, something even more monumental happened—Bai Jia, a major conglomerate, invested in Jiang Feng’s team, renaming it QF Team.
Fans were ecstatic.
QF Team? That’s Breeze’s team!
The internet exploded. Fans of the “First Love CP” pairing couldn’t believe it. Wasn’t this official confirmation that Breeze and Bai Qingqing were real?
People went wild. Every day, fan pages and hashtags trended non-stop. The popularity of Jiang Feng’s fanbase remained in the top five, overshadowing even the biggest stars.
…
Initially, the e-sports community had doubted Jiang Feng, mocking him for supposedly riding on Bai Qingqing’s coattails to secure his position. He was ridiculed and criticized across the board. But Jiang Feng stayed silent. He didn’t respond to the hate.
Instead, he let his skills speak for him. He took his team to victory after victory, all the way to the global finals.
Five kills as Li Bai!
Five kills as Tachibana Ukyo!
Five kills as the Monkey King!
With a damage output exceeding 40%, Jiang Feng dominated every role with ease. The QF team became a nightmare for every competitor.
No one knew how to prepare against them because no one knew which position Jiang Feng would play next!
Jiang Feng’s meteoric rise silenced all his critics. He had proved them wrong by delivering results and achieving global success.
…
Standing under the stage, Bai Qingqing gazed at Jiang Feng, who was clad in his black team uniform. Her heart swelled with pride and affection. She had witnessed his journey every step of the way.
As a major investor in QF, Bai Qingqing was often at the team’s matches. Only she knew just how much Jiang Feng had sacrificed to lead his team to victory. Countless sleepless nights, endless practice sessions—all had led to this moment of glory.
Under the arena lights, Jiang Feng’s features seemed almost unreal, as if sculpted by the gods. His eyes gleamed with determination, sharp as a blade. As time passed, his hard work and dedication were finally recognized by everyone.
Even from the audience, Bai Qingqing could feel her blood pumping as she watched him play, his fingers moving across the controls with lightning speed.
