Anecdotes about Ma Niang in East China

"Actually... I think the trainer will accept it if you come to Spica..." Bei Xuanju tried to comfort Dongcheng Kuaiju, but Dongcheng Kuaiju also thought clearly.Fumino Nase is right. No matter whether the trainer is willing to treat him preferentially or not, in the context of Tokyo University, more or less trainers will look at him differently.Whether this was fair to other racing girls, she didn't think about it at first, but if she thought about it carefully, Nase Fumino did let herself figure it out at the right time.

Maybe I wasn’t suitable to find a team from the beginning...

"Xiao Bei, I'm fine." Although Dongcheng Kuaiju was a little sad, she knew it was no one's fault.The University of Tokyo does not understand the internal situation of the horse girl, and its original intention is just to get enough treatment for itself.The reason why Nase Fumino rejected him was that he could not provide such preferential treatment. The University of Tokyo and the trainer were both right, but it was just inappropriate. "Anyway... Anyway, I will join the idol research department, but it will probably only be in name. Everyone at Vega is very interesting..."

"Little Dongcheng..." Bei Xuanju could see that Dongcheng Kuaiju was depressed, but she was not as good at comforting people as Satomi Hikari, so she could only sigh, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to be like this... …”

"This has nothing to do with Xiaobei... I just didn't think about it clearly at the beginning." Dongcheng Kuaiju quickly explained, "And if you think about it carefully, my personality is indeed not suitable for joining the team... That... I am today I’m a little tired so I’ll go back first.”

"Hey! Little Dongcheng!" Bei Xuanju also wanted to grab Dongcheng Kuaiju, but she escaped even faster this time than before, and she just missed it.This speed didn't show that she was tired at all... Bei Xuanju looked at Dongcheng Kuaiju's escaping figure, feeling an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart, and this feeling of loss didn't dissipate until someone called her to stop her.

"Northern Black Horse."

"Huh? Who is this voice?" Bei Xuanju turned his head and saw his lifelong enemy. "Ming Da Fang? Why are you here?"

"Can't I just be here? This is the training ground." Da Ming tilted his head in confusion, "Why is a man standing here in despair, heartbroken?"

"...Ah..." Bei Xuanju realized that she had stayed at the edge of the training ground for so long, and she quickly patted her cheek. "Sorry... I was distracted."

"Forget it...you guys are probably thinking about something else. Although we are not friends, I am taking a break now. How about you tell me if you have anything?" Da Ming sighed and pointed. Pointing to the bench beside him, he suggested.

"Da Ming Da Fang..." Bei Xuan Ju did have a lot to say, but it was hard to tell Xiao Zhuan and the others. Maybe it would be a better choice to talk to opponents like Da Ming Da Fang...

"Okay, then let me complain a little bit..." Bei Xuanju nodded, "Please use it as my tree hole."

"Who wants to be your tree hole? I'm just taking a break." Da Ming rolled his eyes, "You and I are not friends!"

"Yes, yes." Bei Xuanju smiled, "But I think you are my friend."

Chapter 58·Dating

Dongcheng Kuaiju ran back to Ma Niangzhuang as if he had escaped, and Huang Jinchuan, who was still playing games in the living room, didn't even have time to say hello when he saw Dongcheng Kuaiju running upstairs without looking back.Her outstretched hand froze in mid-air in embarrassment.

"What's going on? Xiaodongcheng actually ignored me." Huang Jinchuan touched his chin, thinking that the matter was not simple.The golden master who was idly stroking his tail continued.

"Is there a possibility that you are usually too annoying?"

"This is absolutely impossible!" Huang Jinchuan said firmly, "How could Xiaodongcheng hate me~"

"..." The gold master looked at the confident gold boat speechlessly, and had the urge to kick her beautiful face.However, she still controlled her emotions. On the one hand, she really couldn't beat him, but on the other hand, if she cared about the golden ship, her level would be lowered.

"Have you been wronged outside?" Huang Jinchuan guessed, "Didn't you go to experience joining the club today?"

"You can just go and ask..." The golden master twitched his ears, "Although Xiaodongcheng is a little bored, he shouldn't be hiding anything."

"Instead of me going, Takumi, why don't you go?" Golden Boat said with a smirk, "Don't you always care about Dongcheng Kuaiju?"

"We are friends after all—" the golden master scratched his cheek and responded with some dissatisfaction. "Xiao Dongcheng is actually quite sensitive. Maybe just other people's unintentional words will hurt her. She is also not good at communicating with others. To be honest, I am about the same."

"That's not your attitude when you took off the mask..." Huang Jinchuan said with a smile, "Okay, okay, you go and ask. If someone really bullies Xiaodongcheng, then I can't let it go. Xiaodongcheng... People who are protected by our golden family."

"...The Golden Family..." The Gold Master complained speechlessly, "If Sister Journey hears this, you will definitely be blasted."

"That's what I said when Sister Menglu arrived!" Golden Ship was famous for not forgetting about food but not fighting. He said proudly, without the slightest worry about being bombarded by the journey and Menglu.The Golden Master occasionally laments why the two of them are obviously sisters but have completely different personalities and body shapes, and how the bloodline of the Golden Family is calculated. "Speaking of which, we haven't been home for a long time. Why don't we just invite Xiao Dongcheng to Huang Jin's house?"

"Are you serious? Can Little Dongcheng stand the atmosphere in our house?" The golden master looked horrified, "Are you trying to harm Little Dongcheng?"

"Don't be embarrassed. I think Sister Journey and Sister Menglv will like Little Dongcheng very much. It's not like you don't know that Sister Journey actually likes cute things the most." Golden Ship emphasized, "And I think Sister Menglv Although I am irritable, I cannot lose my temper with someone as soft as Xiao Dongcheng. Although our Jin family may have some personality problems, we never bully the weak!"

"...So you tacitly agree that Xiaodongcheng is the weaker side?" The golden master complained, "Okay, okay, let me ask what's going on first..."

There is no point in arguing with the ship like this. The golden master is indeed very worried about the status of Dongcheng Kuaiju.In fact, after Dongcheng Kuaiju was hospitalized after his debut battle, Dongcheng Kuaiju's state was a bit strange. Generally, with such excellent results in the debut battle, not to mention directly announcing that he will directly compete for the Satsuki Prize to challenge the classic triple crown, he will also run a few more OP games. Or GIII to confirm the status.

There are really only a few people like Xiao Dongcheng who have completely fallen silent after their debut. Many people are speculating that Dongcheng Kuaiju is undergoing rigorous training.But the golden master knows that this is certainly not true. In fact, apart from routine morning exercises, Dongcheng Kuaiju basically stays at home and does not come out.

Occasionally, this would make the gold master worry about whether she had suffered a mental illness from the fall, but he couldn't ask any questions even though he was asking insinuating questions.She prepared her mood, then walked up to the second floor and knocked on the door.

"Xiao Dongcheng? Are you okay?"

"Huh? Craftsman?" Dongcheng Kuaiju responded quickly. Everyone heard the sound of rustling clothes turning around in the room, followed by a bang, and Dongcheng Kuaiju's suppressed and light eating sound. There was a sound of pain, and when Dongcheng Kuaiju finally opened the door, the golden master saw the tears in the corners of her eyes, and instantly felt that something was serious.

"Who bullied you!?" The golden master thought that the golden ship was unfounded at first. She didn't think anyone would bully a cute and pitiful child like Dongcheng Kuaiju.But if there really is such a disdainful person, that is another matter. The golden master is furious! "I'll lift him up now!"

"Eh? No... no one bullied me..." Dongcheng Kuaiju was stunned. He had run too fast just now and hit the foot of the bed with his little finger.As we all know, the pain caused by hitting something with your little finger is about the same as stepping on a civilian broadsword Lego. It is really painful.Dongcheng Kuaiju also waited for a long time before running over and opening the door. "What's the matter, Takumi?"

"...I just saw that you seemed a little unhappy." The golden master was not very good at expressing his concern, and he expressed his concern with some embarrassment at this time. "Of course, if it's just me who cares too much, just pretend I didn't say it."

"...Master, you are really a good person." Dongcheng Kuaiju was indeed very depressed when he returned to Ma Niangzhuang, mainly because he was hit by what Miss Fumino Nase said, although the other party was Tell the truth, but sometimes the truth does hurt people... "I'm fine, I was just hit a little before, and the other party didn't have any ill intentions. To be precise, there is no fault on either side, it's just a little embarrassing for me."

Dongcheng Kuaiju briefly described his predicament, especially that the University of Tokyo's injection of funds to him was clearly well-intentioned, but it affected his ability to join the team. Although there are also trainers who don't care about this, such as Spica's trainer or Rigil's. Trainers, these two have been famous for a long time, and funding is no longer a problem.But these two teams——

One has President Lu Duo, whom he fears the most, and the other has the Emperor of the East China Sea who once kidnapped him. To be honest... Dongcheng Kuaiju doesn't want to join these two teams.How to say psychological shadow?But if you consider that you will have to choose a team in the future, unless there is another way, you can only choose one of these two.

And it happens to be that one side is Xiao Zuan's team and the other is Xiao Bei's team - this makes it even more confusing.

The Golden Master was originally here to be a tree hole, but after putting herself in, she suddenly realized that she couldn't choose either.As a result, he and Dongcheng Kuaiju became autistic together. By the time the golden ship found them, the two of them were going to have mushrooms growing on their heads.She can completely understand why Dongcheng Kuaiju hesitates. When both parties are very good friends, going to either side feels like a betrayal of the other side.

"Why are you so entangled? After all, the team is just where you are happy. You see, I have been in Spica before it became famous." The Golden Ship does not understand the thoughts of the dark people. After all, she has always been indifferent.The so-called going its own way is probably the style of Golden Ship.

Compared to Dongcheng Kuaiju and Golden Master, two people who are always in tangle, she is much more chic.At this time, she was like a life mentor guiding the two of them.

"Being a horse girl, you should be more unrestrained - friends you like may not stay together for life." There is no need to explain to others when he acts like a golden ship.Only with this kind of character can she become the famous alien superhorse in Teresin College. "There is no need to worry about this kind of thing. Just join whichever team you want to go to."

"If it was really that easy, I wouldn't have to worry about it for so long." Dongcheng Kuaiju rolled her eyes. Occasionally she envied Golden Ship's unrestrained attitude, but her character was not something that most horse girls could imitate.But after hearing what Golden Ship said, she was indeed in a much better mood than before. "But thank you anyway - it's obviously just me struggling, but in the end, you all spent time with me."

"It's okay. After all, you are one of the most interesting jockey girls in the entire Teresin College. I have always been very fond of interesting people." Golden Boat patted his chest, "And you are also a roommate. We are here Isn’t it very fateful?”

"Isn't it a bad fate?" the golden master complained, "If it doesn't work out, Xiaodongcheng can join our team. Although the trainer here is a newcomer, although he is a bit useless, his character is still very good."

"I remember Takumi's team..." Dongcheng Kuaiju thought for a while. The team that Golden Master joined seemed to be the same as Dongshang Revolution. It was called Arcturus, right?I don’t know why, but the entire Treyson Academy team is named after a first-magnitude star. Arcturus is a first-magnitude star located in the constellation Boötes. It is the fourth brightest star in the night sky, second only to Sirius, Canopus, and South Star. Door two, wait for three stars——

No good - the knowledge I gained when I was preparing for the Tokyo University exam came back to me out of nowhere!Dongcheng Kuaiju shook his head and threw away the astronomy concepts in his memory.

"Well, my trainer's name is Ikeda Asai. Although he is not a very powerful trainer, he has a pretty good character." The golden master nodded. Although she could not hide her dislike for the trainer, according to Dongcheng Express Ju's understanding of the golden master is that she won't even dislike the person she really hates.Even Dongcheng Kuaiju, no matter how slow he is, understands the fact that the Golden Master is actually a arrogant person.

This can be seen from the golden ship - if the gold master really hated the golden ship, he would not be able to stay in Ma Niangzhuang.These two people have a very good relationship at all.It's just that if the truth is revealed, Takumi's thin skin will probably make him angry, so Dongcheng Kuaiju Quan is kept in the dark.

“Although I’m very grateful for the invitation, Takumi—” Dongcheng Kuaiju sighed, “but maybe I’m not suitable for joining the team.”

Dongcheng Kuaiju still rejected the Gold Master's kindness, but she also had some reservations about Arcturus. After all, it was the team of the Gold Master and Dongshang's reform, and she would probably have less contact with him in the future.Golden Ship did not stay in Dongcheng Kuaiju's room for long, and soon left with Takumi.

Dongcheng Kuaiju was the only one left in the room, and her sorrow, which was just the size of a room.I don’t know if it’s been too smooth since I came to this world. It seems that this is indeed the first time I have encountered a dilemma in the strict sense.But fortunately, I always have friends around me who are willing to help me.

Dongcheng Kuaiju picked up his cell phone and originally wanted to make a call to Satomi Kozuan, but before he could make the call, a call came in.The caller name is Northern Xuanju.Dongcheng Kuaiju hesitated for a while before answering the phone. "Hello?"

"Xiao Dongcheng! Are you free now?!"

"Ah... If you want to talk about whether you are free, I guess you are..." Dongcheng Kuaiju thought for a while, and he ended his experience of joining the club early. He was indeed very free.After Dongcheng Kuaiju agreed, Northern Xuanju immediately said happily. "Then - do you want to go out on a date with me?"

"...?" Dongcheng Kuaiju was stunned and replied after confirming that he was not dreaming. "Did you dial the wrong number? That's not Xiaozuan's number."

"No, I just want to invite Xiao Dongcheng on a date." On the other end of the receiver, Beibu Xuanju said this seriously under the supervision of Da Ming Da Fang. "I have something that I must explain to you, Xiao Dongcheng, alone! Please!"

"...Eh?" Dongcheng Kuaiju was a little panicked. Dating, in fact, dates between girls are very common... What a ghost, Dongcheng Kuaiju wanted to convince himself, but he couldn't think of other possibilities.Is it possible that Beibu Xuanju likes me?What kind of international joke is this? The Tianjiangzi and the eldest lady in her comics are in that situation only because the main theme of the comics is love. If Xiaobei actually likes her - she is the first one not to believe it.

She took a deep breath and weighed the current situation.He thought carefully about Xiaobei's past attitude towards him.asked very seriously.

"Xiaobei, are you serious?"

"I have never been so serious!" Bei Xuanju replied decisively, "There are some things I really have to say!"

"...Okay." Dongcheng Kuaiju gritted his teeth. As a friend, he couldn't ignore the other person's feelings.Although she was so entangled in her heart that she wanted to run away, she still agreed. "When? Where?"

"Hmm... haven't decided yet? But" Bei Xuanju hesitated for a while and finally said hesitantly. "But I will tell you in advance when the time comes."

"Okay." Dongcheng Kuaiju took a deep breath, "I will listen carefully to what you have to say!"

Of course she could tell that the other party was serious, and in response to this seriousness, she had to make a clear enough attitude.But in her heart, she still believed that Beibu Xuanju and Satomi Hikari were made for each other. She... Dongcheng Kuaiju had never thought about what her future would be like.

After all kinds of tangles, she still agreed.But if nothing else happens, she should refuse...

It all depends on what Xiaobei wants.

Compared to Dongcheng Kuaiju's entanglement, Beibu Xuanju immediately turned to look at Da Ming Da Fang after hanging up the phone, "Is this okay?"

"I think you are the best." Da Ming gave a thumbs up, "Is there any other way to encourage the horse racing girl besides taking her to watch the competition?!"

"I think so too!" Bei Xuanju nodded and gave a thumbs up. "As expected, let's go to the game!"

Chapter 59·The horse girl who changes clothes falls into a date

--How to do!

After Dongcheng Kuaiju hung up the phone, he was as panicked as an ant on a hot pot. From his past life to this life, he had never been in love, let alone dealt with someone else's confession.The last time she received a suspected love letter, she had already confessed everything she had learned in her life. This time she didn't know how to deal with it.

In short, I need to dress a little more elegantly first - but I only have some old clothes, most of which were given by Xiaozhuan.But is there something wrong with wearing the clothes given by Xiao Zuan when you go out with Xiao Bei?Dongcheng Kuaiju opened the wardrobe, but he was faced with a problem. The clothes he chose were mostly cheap, durable, and wearable clothes were basically given by Xiaozuan.

She didn't dare to discuss this kind of thing with Xiaozuan, and she didn't know where to start.

——I want to go on a date with your childhood sweetheart. Is it possible for the other person to confess to me?

How can this be said out loud!Damn it!Although the relationship between Xiao Zuan and himself is not going to sink him, he probably won't care about himself anymore.Even if it's for Xiao Bei's sake, he can't tell Xiao Zuan now, otherwise he will cut off his own future.Dongcheng Kuaiju scratched his head, wishing he could sacrifice his brain to heaven now to get a solution.

It's a pity that she doesn't have a magical conch in her hands, and she doesn't have any blue and white Doraemon to help her, so even if she wants to find a happy planet, she has no way.Neither Hogwarts nor the Digital World chose him, so why did Xiaobei fall in love with him.There's something about me that attracts her, why don't I change it?

Complaints are complaints, the date is set for tomorrow.Dongcheng Kuaiju decided to free up his time tomorrow first. This is the most basic respect.She had always believed that she had to face other people's feelings seriously, but she had to put the team's affairs behind her. Although it was not a good thing to go from a chronic predicament to an acute predicament, at least she was thinking about it now. It’s true that there is no such thing as choosing a team.

In a sense, Beibu Xuanju and Da Mingda Fang really made Dongcheng Kuaiju stop thinking about this matter——

Just when the girl was struggling, her door was knocked again.This time, the visitor was a big shock after getting off work. After hearing about the troubles of Dongcheng Kuaiju from Huang Huangchuan and others, she decided to come up and see the situation in Xiaodongcheng.After all, she also claims to be the childhood sweetheart who knows Dongcheng Kuaiju best, so it is naturally impossible for her to be absent at this time.

Before Dongcheng Kuaiju opened the door, she took a deep breath and suppressed the wonderful feeling in her heart that the two of them could be alone for a short time. Only Dongcheng Kuaiju could make Da Shock feel satisfied and happy just by being alone. Ju is alone.Occasionally she would think about what if she had stayed with Dongcheng Kuaiju, if she had not left, if they had supported each other until now.

Perhaps, the distance between the two people will be closer now. She wants to be relied on by Dongcheng Kuaiju, wants to share her troubles with Dongcheng Kuaiju, and wants to exchange one percent of her inner joy for Dongcheng Kuaiju. , after all, as long as you make her happy, she will feel a hundred times more happy.

When she returned to her hometown, she once asked her closest elders what it meant to like someone.

The elder at that time was silent for a long time, then touched her head and whispered.

"I never forget you when we are apart, you are full of joy when you are together, you are full of expectations when you think about the future, you are at peace when you are in the present, and you are satisfied when you think about the past. If there really is such a person, then you probably like it. Fuck each other.”

This elder has very rich emotional experience, so his words are also very weighty.She was so shocked that she remembered these words for a long time, and she realized it only when she saw Dongcheng Kuaiju again.The person I like has never changed from beginning to end.It’s the lively girl who pulled herself up on the street, and it’s this poor kid who now likes to hide behind people and talk in a low voice.

Has Dongcheng Kuaiju changed?She has indeed changed a lot.But the strange thing is that no matter which Dongcheng Kuaiju it is, she likes it very much.Maybe this is what is called an extra layer of filters in front of your eyes after you like it.But the big shock doesn't matter. Her current goal is to stay with Dongcheng Kuaiju and accompany her all the way.

creak-

The door opened, Dongcheng Kuaiju looked warily at the absence of other shadows outside the door, and then pulled Da Shock into the room.This cautious and timid look couldn't help but make Da Shock feel a little funny, but she followed the other person into the room very cooperatively, and then raised her hands to show that she was not aggressive. Only then did she see Dongcheng Kuaiju Song Take a breath.

"Fortunately, you are the only one who is shocked. I thought everyone in Ma Niangzhuang would take the opportunity to get in." Dongcheng Kuaiju whispered, "Forget it, it's a big shock. If so many people come to comfort me, I will What’s more scary is…”

"I didn't bring anyone else with me, Xiao Dongcheng, what are you thinking about." Da Shock said with a smile. She looked at the open wardrobe and some clothes scattered on the bed, including some relatively private underwear. Da Shock Although I was a little concerned, I didn't mean to read more. "Speaking of which, Xiaodongcheng, are you here? Changing clothes?"

"...I'm choosing my clothes for tomorrow." Dongcheng Kuaiju whispered, "I'm going out with Xiaobei tomorrow."

"Oh, are you going out to play together? Then I also -" Da Zhen thought for a moment and decided to postpone tomorrow's work temporarily.Anyway, the double cover shoot only started on the weekend, so other work can be postponed.

"No... I'm not going out with Xiao Bei and Xiao Zuan." Dongcheng Kuaiju's voice became even softer, but she thought that Da Shock was the one who could say this, so she still plucked up the courage to say. "Yes... I went out alone with Xiaobei. That... according to common sense, it should be called a date alone."

——Clara...

The shocked smile froze, as if something sounded in her ears.What is it? It sounds like something breaking.She was silent for a while, closed her eyes, gathered her thoughts, and finally grabbed Dongcheng Kuaiju's hand. "Please make it clear."

"...big...big shock, you look scary..."

"Please be sure to speak clearly, otherwise people will misunderstand." Shocked's squinted eyes opened, revealing a pair of temperatureless pupils, like poisonous tongues, with the unique calmness and killing intent of an apex predator. . "Please make it clear--"

"... That... is actually just my guess." Dongcheng Kuaiju swallowed, and under the guidance of the desire to survive, she recounted the phone call she made with Beibu Xuanju. She was quite She trusts Da Shock, so she doesn’t hide anything at all. If it was the Golden Ship, she probably wouldn’t even dare to tell him, but Da Shock is smart, calm, and more importantly, tight-lipped. Not to mention that he is her childhood sweetheart. She is very interested in Da Shock. Shocking trust is probably second only to Satomi Hikaru.

But this time there was no way to discuss it with Satomi Hikari, so she naturally set her sights on Da Shock.But she didn't expect the shocking reaction to be so big.It even made Dongcheng Kuaiju start to doubt whether discussing with Da Shock was the right thing to do.After listening to Dongcheng Kuaiju's narration, he was shocked and became much calmer than before.

Indeed, Bei Xuanju's words were very problematic, but the strange thing was that it was precisely because the other party said these things so openly that Da Shock began to suspect that the other party's original intention was not this kind of thing.After all, if you really plan to confess, you will always be a little shy, so no matter how nervous the other person is, it is basically impossible to avoid it.

So - it's most likely a misunderstanding, right?

Shocked, he nodded, but that's fine - it also meant that the other party really didn't have any feelings for Dongcheng Kuaiju at least now, so he didn't need to intervene.

"Then what does Xiao Dongcheng think? What if the other party confesses?" Da Shock decided to test Dongcheng Kuaiju's thoughts first. In fact, it is normal for other people to have thoughts about Dongcheng Kuaiju. After all, Dongcheng Kuaiju's Both good looks and abilities are there. If it weren't for this iceberg face, someone would probably have written a love letter to her.

The problem is Dongcheng Kuaiju's own ideas. As long as she has no ideas, these people can only become friends at best.And the only ones who have reached this level above friends are probably Satomi Mitsui and himself.So for the time being, I just need to be wary of Satoshi Diamond playing the best friend card.

"Me...me?" Dongcheng Kuaiju was confused for a while, and then responded cautiously. "Probably... you will refuse?"

"Oh..." Big Shock breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Why?"

"...Because I'm not good enough for Xiaobei..." Dongcheng Kuaiju whispered, "She is so powerful and one of the most powerful racing girls of this era. She has such a burning passion for racing. With my kind of The half-heartedness is different, I am satisfied just wanting to live happily, but she has already started to pursue her dreams. People like me... are still not suitable for Xiaobei."

"..." Da Shock originally wanted to hear the reason why the other party was rejected, but after Dongcheng Kuaiju finished speaking, she felt a little sorry for Dongcheng Kuaiju.She was originally supposed to be a horse racing girl who had the same dream as Bei Xuan Ju, but now she said that she was a dilettante and talked about Bei Xuan Ju with envy.

But she was so shocked that she couldn't say anything. After all the suffering she had experienced, she could completely understand why Dongcheng Kuaiju had changed so much now, and she had almost lost the courage to pursue her dreams.Now she calls herself a dabbler and hides from everyone's eyes. She carefully collects her broken bottle of happiness and holds the remaining grains of sand in her palm like a treasure, as if she is afraid of being taken away. An injured cat.

He couldn't touch her scars, but he couldn't change the fact that she had been injured.All she can do now is to be by her side, reminding him over and over again that she is still there, and there is no way she will leave Dongcheng Kuaiju.Because she had left before, she lost the opportunity to protect him.

So when he came to her again, how could he leave again after being so shocked?
