Ji Siyue: "… What did you say? I can't hear you clearly!"
How did she suddenly become a heartbreaker?
No... In a way, she was indeed a heartbreaker. But why was he so worked up? Why did he suddenly bring this up? This was what Ji Siyue was curious about.
"During our first live - broadcast, you once said that your favorite person was Huang Feng. I was sitting right beside you at that time. Later, when you found out my identity, you were very excited. And then... we broke up. Generally speaking, the chance of meeting your idol and dating them is very low, but you didn't cherish it. You even took advantage of my feelings for you and played me for a fool. Do you think that's appropriate?"
Ji Siyue blushed: "I'm ashamed, truly ashamed..."
Qin Chengyao: "…"
He felt speechless and wordlessly started the car.
After a while, Ji Siyue suddenly burst out laughing.
Qin Chengyao had already calmed down and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing because I'm really a bit of a heartbreaker... But I didn't take advantage of your feelings for me. At least, every time I left you, I truly wanted to cut all ties with you."
Qin Chengyao fell silent.
Actually, he had always wanted to ask if Ji Siyue had left any room for herself when she decided to leave. But then he thought it was better not to ask.
Because he felt that no matter how far Ji Siyue went, Qin Chengyao would probably always leave a light on in his heart for her. If she wanted to come back or showed signs of regret, Qin Chengyao would immediately grab her back and keep her firmly within his sphere of influence, not giving her any chance to leave again.
So... he had been waiting.
It didn't matter. He could wait for Ji Siyue to talk. He could wait as long as it took, as long as she was by his side.
The sky had somehow darkened, and a fine drizzle started to fall. It felt cool and refreshing when it drifted into the window.
Ji Siyue pressed her face against the window, but Qin Chengyao slowly closed it.
Ji Siyue gave him a slightly reproachful look. Qin Chengyao explained, "You have a weak constitution. It would be troublesome if you caught a cold. If you want to watch the rain, I'll stop the car later and you can watch it through the glass."
As he spoke, it was time to exit the highway.
After getting off the highway, the rain grew heavier. Qin Chengyao stopped the car and let Ji Siyue watch the rain outside.
"I'm not being unreasonable," Ji Siyue said after a moment of silence. "You've been so good to me that I always thought you still had feelings for me."
"Do you want to test if I still have feelings for you?" Qin Chengyao looked at Ji Siyue and said.
"How do I test it?" Ji Siyue turned around, looking very confused.
Then, Qin Chengyao reached out his hand, grabbed Ji Siyue's wrist, and placed her hand on his chest, pressing it tightly against him.
Such an intimate contact in this enclosed space always had the greatest impact on people in the shortest time.
Ji Siyue even felt that the temperature of her face was almost the same as that of his chest.
She instinctively wanted to pull away, but the vivid, beating thing in the palm of her hand seemed to be shouting - don't leave me, don't abandon me again.
All the noise and madness were locked behind his thin lips in an almost fastidious way.
Ji Siyue suddenly seemed to be driven as she slowly leaned towards him. In his dim eyes, she gradually pressed her lips against his.
The moment she kissed him, Qin Chengyao's originally dull eyes instantly burst with a lot of light.
This kiss was chaste. Qin Chengyao didn't respond, and Ji Siyue didn't go too deep. She just left her own taste on his lips lightly, then pushed back and pulled out her hand as well.
The palm of her hand still retained the scorching temperature, but her face had already calmed down.
"Qin Chengyao, I've discovered something."
"What is it?"
"There's no longer that passionate love for you in my heart."
With this sentence, Qin Chengyao immediately closed his eyes.
He didn't want to hear it and wanted to cover his ears, but he sadly found that because of Ji Siyue's words, his whole body was stiff and he couldn't even resist!
"But... I rely on you more. I've seen through myself. I'm just so cheap. When I kissed you just now, I actually hoped that you would hug me. Since you didn't, I've officially seen myself clearly."
Qin Chengyao's eyelashes fluttered, and then he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of disbelief.
"You..."
"So I want to ask you, if we can win the championship this time, can we get back together? This time I won't run away or torture you. I'll just be good to you."
Time seemed to stand still for about a century before Qin Chengyao said in a slightly trembling voice, "What if we don't win the championship?"
He originally thought he could win the championship, but once it involved Ji Siyue, he couldn't tolerate the slightest mistake. Naturally, he became worried and anxious.
"Um... Let me think. If we don't win the championship..." Ji Siyue stared into Qin Chengyao's eyes, indulging herself for the last time in watching his uneasiness. "I'll pursue you again, just like you pursued me before."
With this sentence, the heart that Qin Chengyao had been holding in his chest finally fell back into his stomach.
He still didn't open his eyes, just smiled gently, his whole body shaking with laughter.
"Siyue, do you remember what I once told you?"
"What?"
Qin Chengyao looked at Ji Siyue and said word by word, "You just need to stand there, and you're my goal. Whether you take a step forward or not, I'll always strive to get closer to you. Now that you respect me a little, I will surely never fail you in life or death."
...
At the training base.
Zhu Zhiyao was lying on the balcony, looking at the time on his phone. There was a lot of sorrow in his eyes.
Nan Gongqi walked over from behind, with a pungent smell of medicine on him. Instead of being disgusted, Zhu Zhiyao made a little room for him.
"It's raining," Nan Gongqi said.
Zhu Zhiyao didn't say a word.
Nan Gongqi: "I'm afraid someone's heart is also raining, right?"
Zhu Zhiyao opened his phone. The interface was the photo album, and the selected ones were pictures of Ji Siyue. There were hundreds of them, with the words "to be deleted" on them.
"I'll just delete these photos."
"Will deleting them really make you let go?"
