lover beside

Chapter 164

The basketball court was crowded with people.Ziheng was sitting alone on a chair, holding a basketball in his hand. Although he was smiling, he couldn't hide a trace of loneliness under the light.

A bottle of soda was handed over to him, "Why don't you go to play? When did the radiant Lu Ziheng just abdicate as a spectator? Didn't you always stand in the center of the light, attracting everyone's attention and applause?"

Ziheng frowned slightly, and looked up in the direction of the soda bottle - a handsome young man in a navy blue tight-fitting sweater was standing beside him.Although he was talking to him, the boy's eyes kept looking at the center of the field under the lights, looking at the player in the center of the light.

Ziheng shook his head, took a sip of the soda, "You're still talking about me. What about you? Don't you too? Don't forget that when we were in high school, the game was full of gunpowder."

Qing Jin smiled, knelt down, and took a sip of soda, "Actually, I miss that time. I was young and frivolous, and I didn't care about anything. I could do whatever I wanted without worrying about the consequences."

Ziheng smiled wryly, "No way, you, [-]-year-old boys are starting to say such vicissitudes of life, how can you let me, who is almost three years older than you, live!"

Qing Jin smiled, shook her head, and looked up, "You are different from me. No matter what happens to you, your family is your strong backing, and no one will dare to really touch you; as for me, You have to figure out everything by yourself and work hard by yourself..."

"Especially..." Qing Jin suddenly paused, his eyes sparkling with tenderness.

Especially Qing Huan... Take care of her, protect her, keep her from harm, and let her have a carefree future...

, is really an age that is not yet grown up. Although he is legally an adult, he is still a child in the traditional Chinese family concept...but he is no longer qualified to be greedy for the care of his parents. He has to stand up, He had to transform into a mature man quickly.

It's difficult to take care of your own life, but he has already taken care of Qing Huan's life...

-

The lights in the basketball hall surrounded him at 360 degrees, and Ziheng couldn't help but squint his eyes to see the beautiful young man.His radiance reflects sadness, and his arrogance carries heaviness—he has really grown up quietly but extremely quickly.

If it was in the past, how could there be such a calm conversation between the two of them, how could there be a little bit of sympathy for each other inexplicably?

Ziheng smiled, stood up, and threw the basketball in his palm far away, allowing it to echo empty in the basketball hall, "Come on, go for a drink?"

Qing Jin raised her eyebrows, "Okay. If you can't fight, fight in a bar!"

The barbecue stall is filled with smoke and dust.Qing Jin provocatively said, "Did Mr. Lu even come to eat this smoky food? That piece of clothing smells of smoke, and the dry cleaning fee is enough to eat dozens of barbecues."

While roasting the meat, Ziheng stared, "Shut up! If you don't talk, I won't treat you as a dumb!" He didn't want to say it, but he said it anyway, "Qing Huan likes to eat, I know. So all the time, Taking her out to eat, I have never taken her to high-end restaurants that make her uncomfortable, usually to barbecue..." Ziheng smiled dreamily, "She called it 'fireworks on earth'..."

Qing Jin looked at Ziheng, and for the first time, she didn't overturn the table on the spot, but just smiled quietly, "Yes. She has always been a silly girl who cares about her family, and she wished she could spend her whole life in an ordinary life."

Ziheng smiled, and put the grilled meat slices into Qingjin's bowl.He really looks like a big brother who takes care of his younger brother, "Actually, I like Qing Huan like this. Don't you think she is actually better than us?" Zi Heng looked at Qing Jin calmly, "You and I both have dreams. , Ambitious people are the kind of people who believe that as long as they work hard, the whole world is under their control. But in fact, the more such people, the higher they fly, the more empty their hearts are. Already, soaring into the sky, although this kind of scenery is very good, people still live on land after all—and she is our coordinates on the ground. As long as she is there, no matter how far or how high we fly, Don’t worry about not being able to find the way back—because she’s always standing there, smiling and waiting for us to come back…”

Ziheng spoke a little excitedly, maybe he didn't even realize it, the corners of his eyes suddenly got wet.He hurriedly picked up the cup and raised his head to take a sip.

Men are such strange animals. Although men always need to find the motivation to continue to struggle in the competition of their opponents, their closest friend may actually be that opponent—because only opponents can understand themselves better, because Only the opponent can understand what you say...

Seeing Ziheng's gaffe, Qing Jin not only didn't take the opportunity to laugh, but almost shed tears as well.There must be too much smoke from the barbecue tonight, or the cold beer is too spicy on a winter night...

Ziheng changed the topic, "How is the preparation of that store of yours going? If you need my help, feel free to ask."

Qing Jin smiled, "If it's about myself, I would rather die than ask you for help. This is my pride." The young man's hair fluttered recklessly in the wind, his long eyebrows slanted, and he was so crazy. "However, Ziheng, do you still remember the time I talked to you?"

Ziheng nodded, "The 'I love you' said on the BP machine? Ha...Actually, you are right, and Qing Huan is also right. At that time, you used me as a shield to hide Qing Huan; but in fact, I didn't tell you Yes: I really sent the same message that night - probably in the middle of the morning, the paging lady thought the same message came from the same person, so she only sent one..."

Qing Jin was slightly taken aback.

Ziheng was slightly embarrassed, "What's so strange! Qingjin, I have the same feelings you have! For the feelings Qing Huan has given, Qingjin, I will never be less than you!"

Qing Jin pinched the wine glass and slowly looked at the golden liquid in the quilt, "I know. That's why I came to you today..."
