Chapter: 6678
Haily Swain's eyes went dark and she immediately lost consciousness, stiffly falling backwards to the ground.
The audience in the venue erupted into thunderous applause that almost shook the entire hall, no one thought Qin Ao Xue's counterattack would be so fierce, like a small crustacean car suddenly transformed into a 100-ton truck and thoroughly crushed her opponent. It was shocking beyond compare.
The judge rushed to Haily Swain's side and began reading out the seconds loudly.
By the time the judge shouted "five", Haily Swain's consciousness had returned slightly, but her legs were still flailing wildly on the ground, as if she wanted to stand up but couldn't muster any strength. She struggled for a few seconds before her body hardly moved.
As the judge finished reading out the 10 seconds, Haily Swain was still unable to get back to her feet.
As a result, the judge rushed directly to Qin Ao Xue's side, raised her right hand, and loudly declared: "The champion of this year's women's group is Qin Ao Xue!"
The scene was once again drowned out by the thunderous applause.
Qin Ao Xue's female coach immediately rushed up to the stage and hugged her tightly, while Haily Swain's coaching team could only reluctantly climb up to the stage to help him off the stage.
At this moment, Qin Ao Xue, although surrounded by many people, was still searching for Ye Chen's figure with her eyes. She soon found a smiling face of Ye Chen in the crowd, and her heart was filled with excitement, unable to help but waving wildly at Ye Chen, shouting loudly: "Ye Dashi! Ye Dashi!"
The two locked eyes, with Ye Chen nodding slightly, then pointing towards the backstage passageway. Qin Ao Xue suddenly understood the situation.
In this kind of place, they definitely couldn't have a normal exchange, and there was also the men's group final to be played soon. Qin Ao Xue now needed to take a temporary break in the backstage area after finishing the men's group final, then join other award winners on stage for the award ceremony.
Ye Chen's gesture towards the backstage passageway also meant that he wanted to go backstage and talk to her.
Qin Ao Xue immediately told the coach beside her: "Coach Wang, have you seen that good-looking guy in black at the front row? He is my..."
She stopped talking suddenly.
She didn't know how to describe her relationship with Ye Chen to her coach. Should she say they're friends? She had always respected Ye Chen, even her father did. If she said they were friends, it would be obvious that there was a lack of respect.
"If you say he's a teacher, there won't be much of an issue anyway. However, that would definitely spark the coach's curiosity."
"She knew Ye Chen was always low-key and didn't want outsiders to know too much about him."
"The coach saw Qin Ao Xue looking puzzled and didn't know how to describe it, so he just nodded and said with a smile: 'Is this boyfriend of yours who came from home to cheer you on? That's really sweet! And that young man is quite handsome, isn't he? He matches you pretty well.'"
"Qin Ao Xue was somewhat embarrassed for a moment, but since the surroundings were chaotic, she didn't want to explain too much, so she whispered in the coach's ear: 'Coach Wang, can you take him to the backstage area?'"
"The coach didn't hesitate and agreed, saying with a smile: 'Okay! You go rest first, I'll bring him over to see you later.'"
"Qin Ao Xue had just won the championship, and the coach was still thrilled, although bringing someone into the backstage area does violate some rules. But this kind of thing is usually just ignored, as long as there's no major issue."
"After a moment, Qin Ao Xue waved goodbye to the cheering crowd while being surrounded by other staff members and left the ring, heading for the backstage area to rest."
"In the backstage area of the martial arts hall, each participant in tonight's quarterfinals and championship matches has their own private resting room."
"Qin Ao Xue returned to her resting room, where that coach also walked through the crowd to Ye Chen's side, smiling and saying: 'Young man, are you Qin Ao Xue's boyfriend? I'm Coach Wang, Qin Ao Xue asked me to bring you backstage.'"
"Ye Chen slightly furrowed his brow but didn't deny it, just smiled and said: 'Thank you then, Coach Wang.'" JrNovels.com
