"Not necessarily. So I made a decision in my heart. This rain is the start. When I really win the championship one day, I'll let go completely. This is the last... the last rain I shed for Ji Siyue."
Nan Gongqi had never experienced heartbreak and didn't understand why Qin Chengyao and Zhu Zhiyao were so heart - broken over a woman. However, he could imagine the feeling of loving someone but not being able to be with them.
He reached out and patted Zhu Zhiyao on the shoulder. "Good brother, come on. Big brother will let you thrash me a couple of times to relieve your pain."
Zhu Zhiyao said expressionlessly, "Beating a handicapped like you doesn't make me feel proud at all."
Nan Gongqi said, "Damn it! Do you still want to be friends?"
Finally, Zhu Zhiyao smiled. Looking outside, he said, "To be honest... after all these years of going around in circles, we haven't really gained much. I don't feel regretful. I just feel sorry for Ji Siyue because I couldn't make her truly happy during the time we were together."
Nan Gongqi really couldn't understand why his good brothers were all trapped by love.
Qin Chengyao, Ji Siyue, and Zhu Zhiyao had been entangled for so many years. Now Bai Yu was inquiring about Jin Zhiyan's whereabouts. They were all involved. Fortunately, his fiancée was nice. Although she always scolded him for being idle, she at least respected his gaming career and would defend him in front of his family.
"Don't think about this for now. If you really feel confused, go play a few dungeons to calm down."
"Okay."
...
Outside the mountain, Ji Siyue sadly found that the mountain road was too narrow for a car to pass through.
She wanted to send a WeChat message to Qingqing, but unfortunately, her phone had no signal here. The same was true for Qin Chengyao's phone.
Looking at the rain outside the window, Ji Siyue said worriedly, "I don't know when this rain will stop. I even forgot to check the weather forecast before coming."
On the contrary, Qin Chengyao had the attitude of "since we're here, we might as well make the most of it".
"If this rain doesn't stop, let it keep falling."
Ji Siyue looked at Qin Chengyao strangely, not quite understanding what he meant.
Qin Chengyao turned to look at Ji Siyue and said, "If I can be with you, it doesn't matter if this rain lasts for two more nights."
Ji Siyue blushed for no reason. She turned her head away forcefully. After a while, she turned back awkwardly and said, "Me too."
Then she turned her head back again, looking extremely shy.
Looking at Ji Siyue's back, Qin Chengyao leaned back on the seat. He smiled contentedly for a while and then gradually fell into a deep sleep.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already late at night.
He checked his phone. It was one o'clock in the morning.
Ji Siyue had fallen asleep at some point. Her neck was crooked and she looked very uncomfortable.
Qin Chengyao thought for a while, then lowered his seat, climbed to the back seat, put his seat back up, lowered Ji Siyue's seat, and dragged her body to the back.
Half - awake, Ji Siyue only felt her body moving. But when she opened her eyes and saw it was Qin Chengyao, she felt at ease and closed her eyes to continue sleeping.
That night... Ji Siyue slept very soundly. So did Qin Chengyao.
When the first ray of sunlight broke through the sky the next day, when they opened their eyes, the rain outside had stopped.
Ji Siyue tried to sit up and found that she was lying in Qin Chengyao's arms. She was wearing a black windbreaker, which was Qin Chengyao's. He was only wearing a sweater and holding her tightly.
He was still sleeping with his eyes closed, and his brows seemed to be slightly frowned.
Strange. Was this guy still frowning even in his sleep?
Ji Siyue unconsciously reached out her hand and touched his brows twice. As soon as she touched him, Qin Chengyao opened his eyes and looked at Ji Siyue calmly.
At first, there was a look of confusion in his eyes, just like someone who had just woken up. After a while, he became fully awake.
"Are you awake?"
Ji Siyue sat up straight and nodded. "Yes, I'm awake. How do you feel? Didn't catch a cold, did you?"
"Just one night. How could I catch a cold?"
Just as he finished speaking.
Qin Chengyao: "Achoo!"
Ji Siyue: "..."
Qin Chengyao: "..."
Ji Siyue: "..." She scoffed.
She quickly took off the clothes on her body and threw them at Qin Chengyao. "I'll drive. You sit in the passenger seat. Let's get the prescription quickly. We can't stay in the mountains for too long. The humidity here is too high."
Seeing Ji Siyue being so insistent, Qin Chengyao didn't refuse. He just nodded in agreement.
Maybe because they had been trapped in the mountains for a night yesterday, they were quite lucky today. After driving around for more than two hours, they finally found a wide road and arrived at Qingqing's village.
Unable to contact them, Qingqing had been waiting there early in the morning. When she saw them, she smiled happily.
"Sister Siyue!"
Ji Siyue got out of the car and waved to Qingqing.
"It's really hard to find this place."
Qingqing led the two of them into her house and took out two big bags of things.
"This bag is for Nan Gong. The other one is for you. I've written down the dosage, method, and the detailed prescription inside. You can buy the medicine by yourself next time. I originally wanted my grandfather to take a look at you, but he went out early this morning. The rain was so heavy yesterday that some villagers were injured by the mudslide, so he went to treat them. Otherwise, you can wait. Maybe he'll come back tonight. I'll cook for you today!"
Seeing Qingqing being so enthusiastic, Ji Siyue couldn't help but decline.
"We can't stay here for too long. Otherwise, if there's another mudslide, we won't be able to get out. Thank you for these things, and thank you for waiting for me at the village entrance so early in the morning."
Qingqing shyly scratched her head. "Who asked you to be the first esports team I liked? I watched WE play games when I was in college, and then it was your GH. I've always followed you. I hope you'll really work hard. I'll still go to the scene when you play the next game!"
Ji Siyue smiled and said, "Sure. I'll definitely reserve a VIP ticket for you then!"
Ji Siyue and Qin Chengyao, two outsiders, attracted a lot of attention in this small mountain village, especially since they were holding two big bags of medicinal herbs.
After getting in the car, Qingqing stood there and waved them off for a long time before going back.
