The call was picked up quickly, and the captain replied, “Hello, you are—”

“Captain, I’m Xiao Qiao.”

There was a momentary silence. Then she could hear that he was pleasantly surprised when he responded, “Hi, Xiao Qiao, what’s up?”

Qiao Lian stared straight ahead as she asked, “Are you free now? I wanted to have a chat. It’s about Zi Chuan and Soul Fighter.”

“Oh, let’s meet up and talk then. I have a meeting now and will be available in about an hour. Let me know where you are, I’ll go look for you.”

Qiao Lian said unhurriedly, “Let’s meet at Zhou Song’s grave.”

“Ok.”

–

Qiao Lian flagged down a taxi and went to Zhou Song’s grave by herself first.

She stood before the cemetery grounds.

It was still winter, so it was cold outside.

She wore a white down jacket and her complexion was pale, as though drained of blood.

Her gaze was fixed on the picture on the tombstone.

She recalled how hard she had cried the last time she had been here and took a deep breath.

Soul Fighter.

So this was Soul Fighter.

–

When she started getting to know Zi Chuan, she found that he had a friend known by the nickname of Soul Fighter.

At that time, she had been following Zi Chuan around, hoping to have him as her teacher in these games.

It was also then that Soul Fighter and she would often show a mutual dislike for each other when they played online.

From the start, they had never seen eye to eye.

But for the sake of Zi Chuan, they tried hard to get along.

Later on, she realized that Soul Fighter was quite a skilled player too.

The three of them became a gang of reckless kids.

One time, the game launched some sort of couple skin. She and Shen Liangchuan decided to get themselves a matching pair and started to show public displays of affection in the games. Every time Soul Fighter caught them doing this, he would sarcastically remark, “Lovers die quicker.”

She would inevitably rebuke him, “Are you jealous? Soul Fighter, when will it be your turn to get a girlfriend?”

Soul Fighter would answer, “Why would I get into a relationship at such a young age? I’m not interested in getting a girlfriend.”
