Qin Lu squatted on the flower bed holding a handkerchief and covering his nose. Bai Jia still couldn't wake up, lying half drunk and unconscious.%&*";

He looked at her, his eyes full of confusion and fear.

If Teng Ye hadn't appeared in time to rescue him, what would have happened now would be unimaginable.

"At the beginning, the reason was that I was still young, but now? Is it because I am incompetent?" He murmured softly, his voice a little strange.

There was a roar and thunder. Qin Lu subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky, but he didn't expect the heavy rain to fall down. He was busy grabbing Bai Jia, but unfortunately Bai Jia still had a weak consciousness.

He could only jump off the flower bed, pick up Bai Jia and drag it on his body with the strap, and then looked around, hoping to find a place to take shelter from the rain.

Unfortunately, there are enough billboards here, but there are almost no places to take shelter from the rain. By the time Qin Lu finally found a place to take shelter from the rain, Bai Jia had probably had enough rain, and most of the people had woken up.

"Where are we?" She lay on Qin Lu's back, her eyes dazed and confused. Everything around her was strange and blurry.

"Under the eaves." Qin Lu said and tilted his head: "Are you awake?"

When Bai Jia heard Qin Lu's voice, he was stunned. Only then did he realize that he was lying on Qin Lu's back, and he said hurriedly or lightly: "Well, let me get down!"

"Forget it, it took a lot of effort to pick you up and put you down again. It won't be easy to carry you anymore. Besides, it's wet everywhere here. Isn't it reliable to put you down? Wait until the rain eases, or maybe there is rain.

Once the car comes, we can go back."

Qin Lu said as he looked at the cars on the street corner. All of them were carrying passengers.

Bai Jiali was lying on Qin Lu's back in embarrassment. She tried to keep a distance or something, but unfortunately she was dizzy and had no strength. She blinked and made do with it.

The rain was pouring, and the only sound in the quiet night was the sound of nibbling mulberries. The two people who were close together felt like a cat was rubbing its claws.

"you……"

"you……"

Suddenly the two of them spoke together, and then paused together. After a while, Qin Lu said: "Can you speak first?"

Bai Jia pursed her lower lip: "Is that true?"

Qin Lu was stunned: "What?"

"The girl you said you like." Bai Jia said softly: "It's true, right?"

"Do you believe it?" Qin Lu tilted his head.

Bai Jia blinked: "I just saw, um, your sadness.i^"

Qin Lu paused for a few seconds: "It's true."

Bai Jia hesitated to speak. She instinctively wanted to ask her who she was, but she swallowed the words as she spoke. After all, Qin Lu had said it before and didn't want to tell who she was.

"You know my dad is a shooting champion, right?"

Bai Jia shook his head: "I don't know. I only know that the principal used to do sports."

"My dad retired very early and became the principal of this sports school from a senior coach. But eight years ago, when my dad was the dean of students, he taught a very outstanding student. That student was still

I just learned shooting in the middle, but I was originally going to be involved in bicycle racing."

"Such a big span?" Bai Jia was a little surprised. Cycling is a competition that combines speed, endurance, and physical strength, while shooting is more about precision.

"Yeah, she was transferred to my dad to study because my dad saw her near the shooting range. On a whim, he gave her a chance to try, but it turned out that she was almost a natural marksman. Then I

Dad talked to her about changing her major, and she agreed, and she became my dad’s student. In just one year, she became his best and best student!”

"That's awesome! It would be great if I could become the best in one year!" Bai Jia's murmured words made Qin Lu stunned for a moment, and then he said softly: "You can do it, you are very similar to her!"

Bai Jia was stunned when he heard this, and then said after a moment: "Could it be that this you are talking about is you, the girl you just said you like?"

"That's right." Qin Lu looked at the water splashing on the ground and said slowly: "When she was my dad's student, I was still young, but I could always hear my dad saying how great that student was.

She is such a good prospect. My dad also said that he must train her to join the national team and win glory for the country. Later, when I was in junior high school, I finally met her, but it was she who came to my house to say sorry to my dad.

"

"Ah? I'm sorry? Is there something wrong with her grades?"

"No, she is still excellent, but, she gave up going to the national team."

"What?" Bai Jia thinks this is incredible. If she can join the national team one day, it will be such a high honor. She will try her best to win glory for the country instead of giving up: "Why should she give up? Could it be that she would give up?"

Are you having trouble at home?"

"No, her family background is very good. She doesn't have to worry about food and clothing. Of course she doesn't seek fame and wealth too much. However, her family still supports her to join the national team, but she doesn't want to."

"Why is this?" Bai Jia couldn't understand.

"I was also very curious at the time!" Qin Lu's voice was full of memories: "So after she left, I asked my father why she gave up the opportunity. But my father didn't say anything. There is no answer. I can't figure it out. After all, I grew up

My dad told me to work hard, and when I grow up, I can represent the country and win a championship. But now, someone has denied this path, the path I am pursuing, so I ran to the school to find her and wanted to talk to her.

She wants answers."

"Is it coming yet?"

"No, when I saw her, she was practicing multi-directional flying saucer. She was playing very beautifully in both standing and lying positions. Not only was I shocked by her results, but I could also see that when she achieved such perfect results, she

Happy smile, I believe she loves shooting, but at the same time, I was also fascinated by her beautiful smile. Not only did I not ask, but from then on, I often ran to the sports center after evening self-study.

Shooting range, watch her practice."

"you like her?"

"Well, I was only in the first semester of junior high school at that time! I spent a lot of time running to the gym and stood there every time to look. How could she not notice it? One day, she didn't practice.

When I stood at the shooting range feeling lost, she came to me and asked me if I had anything to do with her."

"She must have found out that you like her."

"Maybe, or maybe he thinks I'm here to visit on behalf of my dad. Anyway, when I asked her why she didn't join the national team, she said, life is like a road, there are many forks in the road, you always have to choose

One way is to give up the national team, it is just a choice, there is no reason."

When Bai Jia heard this, he blinked and said nothing.

"I thought it made some sense at the time, but I felt vague at the same time. I asked her what her plans were in the future. She smiled and left without saying a word. I even didn't see her at the shooting range again after that!"

"Ah?" Bai Jia looked regretful: "She won't give up completely, right?"

"I thought it was so at the time, so I went to my dad to ask if it was the case. But outside the office, I saw a man. He was standing quietly at the door smoking, and then my dad's office door opened.

, she walked out, and my dad yelled at her back: 'Don't you feel it's a pity?'"

"How did she answer?" Bai Jia had completely integrated into the story: "Could it be related to the man at the door?"

Qin Lu nodded: "Absolutely. She said that she is a girl and what she wants is a stable and warm home. Compared with the glory of the national team, this warm home is more important, so she chose the latter.

.”

Bai Jia was stunned: "Do these two have a big conflict?"

"I was confused at the time, but she took the man's hand and left the school. A few days later, she dropped out of school."

Bai Jia was speechless. She really couldn't understand the conflict here.

"Then for half a year, I never saw her again, or even heard from her, until..." Qin Lu's words suddenly stopped. Bai Jia couldn't help but ask, but Qin Lu didn't speak, because he was thinking about it in his mind.

He had sworn to her that he would never mention those scenes to anyone.

Seeing that Qin Lu didn't want to talk anymore, Bai Jia had no choice but to give up. However, this story without an ending made her a little uncomfortable.

Suddenly Qin Lu spoke again, and he said softly: "Anyway, we met and something happened. I don't want to talk about it, but I also understand that everyone's dreams and reasons for pursuing are different, and I think

It turns out that she is very happy and very happy.”

"That's good! Even if you fall out of love, even if you can't be with the person you like, but you know that she is happy, you will feel that this is good. After all, not all happiness can only be given by yourself."

She spoke as if she were speaking her own heart. After all, her emotions were so humble in Teng Ye's eyes.

"Yes, I thought so too. I even said that I must invite me after I found out they were engaged, but... one day not long after, she... got into a car accident and then... passed away."

Bai Jia sighed after hearing this: "A car accident is the most helpless thing."

Qin Lu nodded: "Yes."

Silence enveloped the two of them again, but the rain continued to pour, not letting up at all.

"What did you want to say just now?" Bai Jia asked Qin Lu in a low voice.

Qin Lu was a little tangled. He wanted to summon up the courage to ask before, but now that he had finished telling the story in his heart, he didn't dare to ask anymore.

"Why don't you speak?"

Qin Lu blinked: "I forgot."

Bai Jia was stunned when he heard this, then laughed.

At this time, an empty car finally came over, and Qin Lu ran over with Bai Jia on his back and stopped it.

Bai Jia got into the back seat, and Qin Lu closed the door. When he reached out to pull the front door, he suddenly let go of his hand, and then he knocked on the car window.

Bai Jia immediately lowered the car window and said to Qin Lu who was bathing in the rain: "Get in the car? Why are you getting wet in the rain?"

"I suddenly remembered that I forgot my things at the bar. You should leave first!" Qin Lu said loudly, then backed away, turned around and walked away.

Bai Jia was a little confused, but the rain dripping through the car window was like a shower, so she quickly rolled up the car window.

"Where to go, miss?"

"Jin, No. 1 Jinhong Road." She said as she glanced out the car window at the figure blending into the heavy rain. She couldn't help but feel lucky that he had left something behind, otherwise she would be so embarrassed now that she didn't know what to say.

…

After finally returning to the villa, she sneezed loudly as soon as she entered the room.

Reaching out to knock on her head, which was suffering from a splitting headache, she swayed towards the bathroom. As she stepped into the bathroom, her head hit the glass door of the partition in a daze, and then she slipped out and fell to the ground.

When she was about to fall to the ground, a pair of hands caught her and she let out a sigh.
