Chapter 92

The hot search was once again occupied by Ji Yue's name, but now he was surrounded by flowers and applause.

The national anthem sounded on the field, and there were cheers and cheers all around.

Ji's father and Ji's mother went outside the venue to get the bouquet of flowers that had been reserved. Qi Zhao also went out while Ji Yue was being interviewed.

When she met Ji's mother again, the bag in her hand was obviously bulging, as if it was filled with something.

An hour after Ji Yue received the award, he escaped from the crowd. Qi Zhao saw him running over in a red uniform, and the gold medal around his neck reflected tiny lights as he moved.

Ji's mother's eyes were swollen to the point of being swollen, and Ji's father's eyes were also wet.

Ji Yue took the flowers from her hand, held Ji's mother in her arms, smiled and patted her back and said, "Mom, why are you crying like this?"

Ji's mother laughed again when she heard this. He wiped the corners of his eyes with a tissue and replied with a nasal voice: "Aren't I happy?"

Ji's father, who was standing aside, turned away and took a deep breath to stop his tears from falling. After calming down a little, He turned his head and looked at Ji Yue, smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, son."

There were no flashlights and cameras around. Ji Yue's eyes were a little hot at the moment. He stretched out his arms to hug his father into his arms and said, "Thank you." Dad."

This is not the first time Ji Yue has won an award, but it is the most emotional victory for Ji Yue and Ji Mu.

The family cried and laughed. Although they didn't say a few words, the tacit understanding in their blood knew what each other wanted to convey.

After the mist in Father Ji's eyes dissipated, he remembered what he said when he first met Qi Zhao.

He followed Ji's mother's words and called Qi Zhao: "Xiao Zhao, the competition is over now, let's go eat together..."

"Xiao Zhao, your uncle and I have something to do, and we have to take a step first."

Ji's father still said . Before he could finish speaking, Ji's mother interrupted him. While Ji's father was still confused, Ji's mother suddenly hit him with her arm and gave him a look.

"Yes, yes." Ji's father suddenly realized, "I'll go and find a place first, and you guys can chat slowly."

After Ji's father and Ji's mother left quickly as if they were fleeing, only Qi Zhao and Ji Yue were left around. people.

The sound coming from the nearby venue was not clear through the building. I could only roughly make out the whistle and commentary.

Ji Yue, who was obviously not nervous in front of the cameras like guns and cannons a few minutes ago, suddenly turned red and didn't know what to say when facing Qi Zhao.

Qi Zhao looked at him and laughed, and was the first to break the silence: "Congratulations on winning the championship."

It was obviously something worthy of honor and pride, but when Ji Yue heard this compliment, she looked away with embarrassment.

He lowered his head and looked at his medal, and for some reason he stuttered when he spoke: "It's okay."

The golden medal hung on his chest. Ji Yue's eyes fell on the reflective place, and the most obvious thing he felt was the light near the medal. Heartbeat vibrates.

His palms had become sweaty at some point, and he was more nervous than ever now.

He prepared this performance for a long time, and the design of the movements and the changes in lighting were all completed by him.

I just want to perform for that one person.

Ji Yue made a point of confirming Qi Zhao's position before going on the field, but after coming off the field, she was not sure whether she had received her feelings.

Looking down, a hand suddenly stretched out, with a black block-shaped package in it.

Ji Yue was stunned and then suddenly raised her head, staring at Qi Zhao with wide eyes.

Seeing his appearance, Qi Zhao burst out laughing: "Your reaction will make me think I bought the wrong candy."

Qi Zhao looked at the palm of his hand again, where there were three or five candies with brown bear patterns. candy.

She thought about it carefully and felt that she must be right: "I searched and compared online for a long time, and only this one has something to do with bears."

Seeing that Ji Yue hadn't come back to her senses, Qi Zhao joked with him with a smile. : "What's wrong? Are you still worried that eating sugar will affect your weight?"

Ji Yue came back to her senses now, but still couldn't say a complete and smooth sentence: "...brown bear candy?"

Qi Zhao nodded and recalled Recalling what he said at the beginning: "Didn't you say before that you would secretly ask the coach for this kind of candy after every game?"

Qi Zhao put the candy in his hand, and deliberately lowered his voice, asking Ji Yue Blinking: "Don't worry, I won't tell your uncle and aunt."

Ji Yue finally laughed after hearing this.

There was a foreign feeling of plastic paper in the palm of her hand, and Ji Yue felt that her fingertips were twitching.

He tore open the wrapper and put the candy into his mouth.

It's still the same taste as in my memory, but it's inexplicably a little sweeter.

"Is it delicious?"

Ji Yue nodded and handed one to Qi Zhao: "Want to try it?"

Qi Zhao took it and tasted it, and objectively commented: "It's okay."

Ji Yue stared at Qi motionlessly. Zhao, the words hidden deep in my heart are packed in my throat, as if they will burst out of the ground in the next second.

He opened his mouth, his throat feeling a little stiff.

After a few seconds of silence, Ji Yue unconsciously exerted force on her hands. He looked at Qi Zhao and said, "Sister, I have something to say to you."

Qi Zhao looked at Ji Yue.

There was still sweat on his forehead that he hadn't had time to wipe away, the ends of his hair were wet, and his eyes were filled with moisture.

Ji Yue wore the national team uniform that symbolized glory and pride, and hung around his neck the gold medal that had just accompanied him on the podium and listened to the national anthem.

If Ji Yue's face was more delicate before, then he is a bit more handsome now.

He was holding the bouquet of fresh and beautiful flowers in his hand, but the hand holding the flowers was trembling slightly.

Qi Zhao could guess what Ji Yue would say next at a glance, but at this moment, there was a different kind of emotion in her heart.

There was no wind around, but the flowers in Ji Yue's arms began to dance.

Ji Yue seemed to have used all her strength to say the four words pressed in her throat completely.

The young man's voice was trembling, but his eyes were firm and fiery.

"I like you."

Ji Yue had obviously rehearsed it countless times in her mind, but when she actually said these words, she realized that her overloaded brain was no longer able to support him in even one process.

There is clearly a lot to say in my heart.

He wanted to say thank you very much to Qi Zhao, but it was more than just gratitude.

He wanted to say that he wanted to be with Qi Zhao and be together forever.

But Ji Yue couldn't make a sound even though she was face to face with Qi Zhao.

He didn't even dare to ask Qi Zhao, "Can you be my girlfriend?"

Ji Yue just expressed her feelings like this, and secretly hoped that Qi Zhao would give him a response.

The air between the two became quiet, but Qi Zhao's mind was very busy.

【Ah ah ah ah ah! ! ! Ji Yue's favorability level is almost three points full! ! ! 】

The system excitedly told Qi Zhao: [Qi Zhao, promise him now! Maybe his favorability level will be full once you agree like this! ! ! 】

Qi Zhao also knows this truth.

Reason tells her that the best solution now is to nod and agree to Ji Yue's confession, for the sake of the strategy mission and for herself to leave this world as soon as possible.

But Qi Zhao shook his head at this moment.

She looked at Ji Yue, opened her mouth and said, "Sorry."

Ji Yue froze on the spot, and the system went offline.

The system reacted and quickly went to the backend to take a look at Ji Yue's favorability data, and breathed a sigh of relief after finding that there was no downward trend.

But it was still puzzled, and while Ji Yue was still stunned, it asked Qi Zhao: "Why didn't you agree to him?" Ji Yue's favorability level was full, and only Gu Ci was left. ]

Qi Zhao replied to the system smoothly: "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."

When the system heard her say this, although it didn't know what Qi Zhao's specific arrangements were, it could only believe: [Okay. 】

In fact, Qi Zhao had no plans at all. She just didn't want to agree to Ji Yue.

When Qi Zhao faced Ji Yue, he didn't have the urge to interact with adult men and women.

She likes Ji Yue, but not that way.

What's more, Qi Zhao understands better than anyone how Ji Yue became cheerful step by step from a timid boy who could only huddle in the corner of the elevator.

She didn't want to drag Ji Yue into the abyss again because of this deception that she knew the result of.

That would really weigh on her conscience.

Ji Yue finally came to his senses at this moment, but his brain was still confused, as if lightning had been introduced into his body and exploded.

Swollen and buzzing.

"No, it's okay."

"...No matter what, I still want to thank sister."

He realized that he should say something, but he really didn't know what kind of topic to find and how to find it.

At this moment, Ji Yue could only recall that others had disclosed information about Qi Zhao to him.

A breath of air seemed to be lifted in her throat, and Ji Yue's speech speed increased unconsciously: "I heard my mother say before that she wanted to give you a card as a thank you, but you refused to accept it."

Ji Yue said this His words came out a bit haphazardly, and his words were somewhat inconsistent.

But this was the limit of his mushy brain's faulty operation.

Qi Zhao didn't expect Ji Yue to mention this matter again, but he still explained to him: "It's useless for me to hold that thing."

For someone like her who might leave at any time, money is really an extraneous thing. .

Ji Yue didn't know whether she was really confused or just answering mechanically, but she blurted out "why" without much thought.

Qi Zhao thought for two seconds, and finally said the truth without revealing the reason: "Because I don't need it."

Qi Zhao looked at Ji Yue and laughed, with a relaxed and half-joking tone: "Let me state in advance, I absolutely do not Pretending to be aloof. “

After all, who can’t get along with money?

"I just think it might be more useful for my uncle and aunt to keep the money than giving it to me." Qi Zhao glanced at Ji Yue's expression and told the truth as a lie, "I also thought that if one day I leave So I donated all the money."

Ji Yue, who had not yet recovered from the shock of being rejected, may have been forced into action by his body's protective mechanism, and his subconscious was trying its best to escape from this crushing and sad feeling.

The brain begins to deliberately ignore its own overflowing emotions, focusing all its attention on the emotional changes of the person in front of it.

Ji Yue's sensitivity seemed to have reached its peak at this time.

There were no loopholes in Qi Zhao's words, nor did they reveal any unnecessary information.

But the moment Ji Yue left her sight, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Do you want... to leave?"

Hearing Ji Yue's sudden words, Qi Zhao couldn't control his emotions for a moment and was stunned for two seconds.

It was like the third wall was suddenly broken. Qi Zhao didn't know how to deal with this unexpected incident.

"...No, I didn't mean 'if'."

Qi Zhao only paused and thought for a few seconds, but Ji Yue was keenly aware of her hesitation.

The sadness after being rejected was replaced by the uneasiness of fear of loss. Ji Yue took a step forward, greatly shortening the distance between him and Qi Zhao.

His brows furrowed, his beautiful eyes were full of worry, and his tone sounded even more broken than before: "What happened? Where are you going?"

Ji Yue's tone was anxious, but Qi Zhao didn't know how to answer.

She could only calm down, keep the smile on her face and continue to say perfunctorily: "It's really nothing, I just think it's good to donate money and do a good deed."

When Ji Yue wanted to ask something more, the phone in her bag was at the moment. It sounded like reinforcements coming from heaven.

"I'll answer the phone first." Qi Zhao took out his phone and took two steps to the side.

What was displayed on the screen was a series of numbers without notes, but under the current circumstances, Qi Zhao pressed the connect button before he had time to think.

"Hello, who's there?"

There was no immediate sound from the other end of the phone. It was quiet for a few seconds before a male voice came.

With a hint of unexpected joy: "It's me."

Qi Zhao frowned.

It's Gu Ci.

Qi Zhao subconsciously wanted to hang up, but Gu Ci over there seemed to have guessed her next move, and quickly said: "Can we find a time to chat?"

Gu Ci's speaking speed has never been as fast as it is now. So anxious.

But Qi Zhao only said, "You and I seem to have nothing to talk about." and hung up the phone.

She put her phone back in her bag, closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

The panic she felt when facing Ji Yue just now disappeared, and Qi Zhao was now left with only an emotion that she couldn't explain.

As a bystander, Ji Yue saw it clearly.

It seemed that the previous ten years had not seen such ups and downs in just a few minutes. Ji Yue couldn't believe what she had discovered, but she wanted to confirm it uncontrollably.

The packaging of the bouquet creaked when he squeezed it, and Ji Yue's voice became very soft when she asked: "Sister, is that person just now... your boyfriend?"

Qi Zhao came back to his senses and looked at Ji Yue, the corner of his mouth He bowed and denied, "No, just a leader."

Qi Zhao's smile was a little forced, and Ji Yue didn't know whether he believed it or not after hearing this answer.

He no longer dwelled on this issue, but stared at Qi Zhao and shook his head as if talking to himself: "I will no longer say things that will trouble my sister, and I will no longer be curious about the people around my sister."

Qi Zhao Zhao's state just now and the deep emotion in his eyes gave Ji Yue a huge sense of crisis.

When she realized that Qi Zhao didn't like her but might care about others, Ji Yue was deeply enveloped by the fear of being abandoned.

He didn't want Qi Zhao to leave, and he didn't want Qi Zhao to leave him.

Ji Yue reached out and grabbed Qi Zhao's wrist, her whole body acting like a rigid and paranoid animal.

His pupils were trembling, and he was staring at Qi Zhao blankly.

"Can I just be my sister's brother?"

"Sister doesn't hate me, right?"

"Can we always be together?"

Ji Yue didn't know that there was water in her eyes, and the last few words in her words were filled with Crying tone.

Ji Yue's current state is really not right, and she looks pitiful and broken as she stares at her.

The force coming from his wrist was a bit heavy, but Qi Zhao never responded.

The flower quilt fell to the ground, and Ji Yue took Qi Zhao's palm with both hands and placed it close to her face.

He arched his back and lowered his head, tears running down Qi Zhao's fingertips.

Ji Yue kept repeating those words: "Okay?"

Qi Zhao stared at him for a long time and said, "Ji Yue, no one will stay with someone forever."

"We will have to say goodbye one day."
