"So what exactly is going on now?" Jiang Qiuqiu asked.
There was a long, long silence on the other end.
So long that Jiang Qiuqiu felt Qian Xingxing's voice sounded a little faint and distant.
"Things have gotten… complicated."
"I… I was too reckless."
The Qian Xingxing of today was a complete departure from the man he once was. Back then, his voice brimmed with boundless ambition, and with a commanding air, he planned to make Federation livestreaming the strongest in the interstellar space.
He was hesitant, faltering, even lost.
Jiang Qiuqiu immediately stopped in her tracks. She could tell her partner was not in a good state. "Where on Federation Star are you right now?" she asked. "We should talk."
"I'm at the branch office. I'll come pick you up."
"No need. Just send me the exact address. I'll take a Hovercar."
The branch office was quite a distance from Federation University, and it took Jiang Qiuqiu nearly two hours to get there.
