By the time An Xin came out of the ward and changed her clothes, the trio's final destination was Milton Stadium.
It was also the venue for the opening of the first round of the S6 World Championship.
"It's mainly because there's nothing else to see."
An Xin casually explained to the two beside her as they waited by the roadside to hail a taxi to the city center bus stop.
"It's still early in the morning, and it's not the time for the lively places to get busy."
"Lin Feng and I went to China City yesterday. It's actually not that interesting. If you want to eat hot pot or Chinese food, you can go back to Chinatown during mealtime. Of course, there are Chinese restaurants everywhere in Manchester, so it's very convenient."
"As for the shopping malls … most of them don't open until close to noon, and you two guys might not be willing to go there, right?"
Lin Feng and Ceng Rui nodded in unison.
"That's right."
The girl smiled and clapped her hands as she concluded.
"Since there's nothing else to see, why don't we go to the stadium first? Most of the teams should be coming today, so it's not a bad idea to check out the situation in the stadium in advance."
"I'm fine with that." Lin Feng looked excited. "I've only been to the London stadium back in S1. I wonder what it's like in Manchester City."
Ceng Rui naturally had no objections. He had been to Europe and the UK before, so he had no interest in foreign customs and customs. Anyway, he was preparing to watch the S6 World Championship in Manchester City, so it was good to familiarize himself with the venue earlier.
Of course, the main reason was that An Xin was in charge today. As long as the girl spoke, the other two would naturally choose to obey unconditionally.
…
They hailed a taxi and went all the way from the outskirts of Manchester to the city.
They paid and got off at the central bus stop in the city center. The three entered the bus stop and went to the ticket office to buy tickets to Milton Stadium according to the platform signs on the map.
It was about a 30-minute journey.
However, sitting in a slow bus and leisurely passing through the stations in the city and admiring the scenery outside the window was also an ideal way to travel and sightsee.
The bus slowly departed from the station and traveled through the city.
Bathed in the warm morning sun, a gentle breeze swept in through the window. The driver hummed a relaxing tune along with the music played on the car stereo. There were few passengers on the bus, and the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful.
An Xin, who was sitting in the back seat by the window, smiled and introduced the bus stops to Lin Feng and Ceng Rui. She talked about the unique features of the streets of Manchester City, or pointed at some old British buildings and told a few stories or two. Ceng Rui nodded as he listened, and Lin Feng nodded as well. Eventually, Lin Feng began to doze off.
Ceng Rui glanced at a certain someone who was dozing off beside him. He shook his head and looked at An Xin, who was sitting by the window across the aisle.
"You've done a lot of homework."
An Xin stuck out her tongue.
"I've been discovered … I spent half an hour on the internet last night to search for information. How is it? It's pretty good, right?"
Ceng Rui then glanced at Lin Feng, who was sleeping soundly on the backrest in front of him.
"At the very least, I should have fooled this guy."
An Xin smiled. "Are you still mad at him? That's a little unreasonable."
Ceng Rui shook his head. "I can't be mad at you anyway. Who else would be more suitable for me to vent my anger on?"
An Xin looked at Ceng Rui and said in a serious tone, "Don't worry, I'm really fine. Look, everything's fine now."
Ceng Rui smiled bitterly.
"Yeah, I'm fine now."
"But … Ossen Moor, right? I just checked it last night when I got back to the hotel. It's not optimistic at all …"
The girl shrugged with a relaxed expression. "Who knows? Even if there's no cure in the past, there's no guarantee that there won't be a miracle in the future. Maybe I'll be that special case."
"You will." Ceng Rui said solemnly. He then frowned. "Is St. Edin's good enough? If not, have you considered other hospitals? There are some top medical research institutes in Northern Europe, right?"
"Yeah, a lot of people have mentioned this." An Xin nodded, then shook her head. "But it's not certain. I'll stay here for now. If there's really no progress, I'll consider transferring."
Ceng Rui said, "So you can only stay in Europe for now."
An Xin nodded and looked out the window at the passing scenery. "Actually, there are times when I want to return to China. If … there is really no hope, I don't want to spend the rest of my time abroad."
These words were spoken in a light and indifferent tone.
But it was enough to make Ceng Rui's heart tighten.
"Don't say such inauspicious things."
An Xin stuck out her tongue again. "I know. Don't worry, as long as there's even the slightest chance, I won't give up hope."
Ceng Rui nodded. "Of course, not just for yourself … but also for everyone around you who cares about you."
As he spoke, he paused and looked at a certain someone who was still sleeping soundly on the back of the car seat in front of him with a complicated gaze.
"And for …"
"That guy."
The girl also looked at a certain someone. Seeing that he was sleeping so soundly that he was almost drooling, she couldn't help but smile.
"Yeah."
"Definitely."
"If possible … I haven't seen him win the world championship yet."
… …
"Huh? So we're already here? "
The bus had already left the platform. Lin Feng was still in a daze as he alighted from the bus.
"That fast?"
An Xin rolled her eyes. "Yeah. It's been 30 minutes, and you've already slept through it. You missed a lot of scenery."
Ceng Rui added, "Steamed Bun and I were just talking about how we could have let you sleep all the way to the terminal if we hadn't woken you up."
An Xin scratched his head awkwardly.
"Ahem … Maybe I didn't sleep well last night, so I had to catch up on some sleep …"
Then he quickly changed the topic.
"But we're already here, right?"
"Where's the gym?"
"Why don't I see it?"
An Xin turned Lin Feng's head 120 degrees in a certain direction.
"Look for yourself, idiot. Over here."
Soon, an indoor gymnasium between a green lawn and tall trees came into view.
Milton Gym.
Lin Feng's eyes widened. "That's it …"
Then, he gave his own evaluation, "It's a little too small."
The gym didn't look that big, and it didn't take up much space. It looked just like the Longteng eSports Arena used by the three Chinese LPL clubs for their training.
But it didn't look as impressive when used in the S Series World Championship.
"It's just the group stage.
"Of course it's not that big," An Xin explained.
An Xin casually explained, "Besides, this is Europe, not China. There won't be that many people here. This size is enough for the group stage."
