The breeze gently pushed the clouds away, gradually covering the last bright color of the sky, and also covering Yin Man's complicated face, and sat on the rooftop, quite a bit of broken jars.

"You must be very proud now, look at how pitiful this person is, even if he takes stimulants, he can't catch up with me. ”

Gu Qiao replied to her lightly: "I didn't think so. ”

Yin Man sneered.

"Oh, I don't believe it. ”

"Actually, I envy you. ”

"Envy me!?"

Yin Man almost burst out laughing.

"What do you envy me, do you take doping? Gu Qiao, let me give you a piece of advice, as an athlete, never touch this thing, it will not help you, it will only push you into hell. Drinking to quench your thirst is all fake, and in the end, you will have nothing but destroy yourself. ”

Gu Qiao shook his head and looked at the night scene under his feet, his gaze not knowing where to freeze.

"I don't mean stimulants, you said your mother did it from you, and it made me envious. Even if she didn't do it right, it was all out of love and concern for you. ”

Yin Man disagreed and sneered.

"I really don't know what you're thinking, whose parents are not like this. ”

Gu Qiao looked at the lights in the distance in a daze, and only felt that a breath was in her chest, not up or down, it seemed that it was a long time before she floated out of her mouth with a sentence or two.

"I don't know, I haven't met my parents. ”

"You..."

Facing Yin Man's puzzled eyes, Gu Qiao chuckled, the smile was too shallow, too short, so short that Yin Man wondered if it was his illusion.

"Well, that's what you think, I'm an orphan, or the kind of orphan who was abandoned at birth. ”

Yin Man really didn't know that she was shocked by this sudden surprise, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked at Gu Qiao blankly.

"You... Why are you telling me?"

Gu Qiao smiled, and Yin Man actually read a little chic from her smile.

"I don't know, maybe it's because you said something from your heart to me. ”

For the first time in two years, they were so open to each other. In those days spent together, jealousy, admiration, and various emotions put layers of filters on their eyes, making the real image of the other party in their eyes distorted and deformed.

At this moment, everything is put aside, they are just two extremely ordinary girls.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, as gloomy as ever, the clouds were very thick, and the pressure was a little low, and in the boundless darkness, those subtle lights gradually brightened, and the buildings hidden in the darkness were also alive at this moment.

The place where they stood had a wide field of vision, and when they raised their eyes, they could take in the night view of the whole city.

"Yin Man, look. ”

Following the direction indicated by Gu Qiao, Yin Man turned his head to look.

The lights of the whole city are bright and bright, and there is a magnificent beauty.

It feels really nice to climb the heights, the whole city is prostrate at your feet, as if the world has dropped its head to you.

In the night breeze, Gu Qiao suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she liked to run through the rugged mountain roads alone and reach the peak, because there was no one there, only the most beautiful scenery.

It was only now that she seemed to understand that the desire for the championship was like the desire for a high place, like a physical instinct, an instinct that would not change no matter how it was suppressed or distorted by external forces.

The gorgeous night scene was magical, and it tempted Gu Qiao to murmur out what he wanted to say most in his heart.

"There's nothing wrong with competition itself, and there's nothing wrong with you, even if it's a little detour, but in the end you have to get back on track. ”

As soon as the words came out, even Gu Qiao himself was taken aback, as if the secret hidden in his heart was exposed to everyone, and a strange slight shame infected the girl's cheeks. And her words seemed to be said in Yin Man's heart, her heart swelled, she even had the urge to cry, her throat was slightly swallowing, some words were about to move, and she hesitated for a long time, but she still couldn't say it.

The sound of emergency braking was sharp and harsh, and a large number of people who got the news had just arrived at the moment, and Yang Yili, who had just come out of the car, looked up and saw Yin Man sitting on the edge of the rooftop, and her legs were weak with fright, and she needed the support of others to stand firmly.

"Manman, mom is wrong, come down quickly"

Yin Man glanced down, a disgusted but soft light appeared in her eyes, and she turned her head to Gu Qiao and said.

"It's time for me to go home. ”

Gu Qiao nodded, got up and stood up, and stretched out his hand to Yin Man, Yin Man was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled, and reached out to hold the other party's hand.

In the quiet night, different shades of light broke out in the girl's eyes, like crumpled starlight, and her voice also carried a little bit of the cool of the late autumn night breeze, which penetrated into Yin Man's ears.

"Yin Man, if you still love running, don't give up easily, I will wait for you at the National Games. ”

After that day, Yin Man did not appear at the training ground again, nor did she come to school, and Cui Lingli's parents personally took her to visit her.

didn't want to look at her parents' flattering smiling faces anymore, Cui Lingli went upstairs under the pretext of visiting Yin Man.

In the face of her eager concern, the other party was always lukewarm, Cui Lingli softly touched a few nails, rolled her eyes, and asked in an extremely secret tone.

"Manman, did you not come to school because of that skinny bamboo pole?

Hearing this, Yin Man's already cold face completely fell.

"No, you're all bored, and besides, it's almost enough at school, so don't bother her anymore. ”

Until she said goodbye and left, Cui Lingli had not thoroughly understood the meaning of Yin Man's words.

In the end, she could only understand it in her own unique way with wishful thinking, and decided to teach Yin Man a lesson for Gu Qiao, and also vented for herself.

Time passed smoothly, the days alternated between training and school, and in the blink of an eye, three months passed, the cold air whistled, and the first snow of winter was ushered in in Hujiang City.

The students from school came out one after another, wrapped in silver, and the red training bag behind Gu Qiao was particularly conspicuous.

Looking at Gu Qiao's back as he walked out of school, Cui Lingli took out her mobile phone from her bag and dialed a number.

"She went out. ”

hung up the phone, Cui Lingli's chin was slightly raised, and before the smug smile was fully unfolded, the mobile phone in his hand was suddenly taken away, and he turned around.

Cui Lingli's body froze suddenly, and the blood on her face faded like a tide.

"Zong... Bosom. ”

The snow was muddy and slippery, Gu Qiao rarely didn't run home, but walked slowly along the street, and the temporary road maintenance blocked the way, Gu Qiao had to choose a slight alley to detour.

In the dark alley, a young man with a pale face blocked her way, the dark circles under his eyes were obvious, and the deep sunken eye sockets were particularly obscene. The young man bent down slightly, squinting at the name tag on Gu Qiao's chest.

"Gu Qiao, it turned out to be you. The little girl is not very good at being a person, so my brother will teach you well today. ”

Gu Qiao turned sideways and dodged the young man's dry hand. turned around and was about to run, but was grabbed by the other party's arm and dragged into the alley on the side.

Gu Qiao's desperate struggle, shouting loudly was all covered by the dark alley, and the smell of smoke on the young man's body lingered on the tip of his nose, making Gu Qiao want to vomit.

"What are you going to do?"

Li Hao grinned, revealing a mouthful of rotten teeth that were slightly yellow by his eyes.

"If you don't do anything, you just fight..."

Before he finished speaking, when he heard that Coke smashed his head fiercely and accurately, and the severe pain hit, Li Hao subconsciously raised his hand to protect his head, and before he could raise his head to find the attacker, under the impact of external force, the can burst open, and the Coke in the can spewed out, splashing Li Hao's face.

His eyes were almost open, his vision was obstructed, his nose was filled with the sweet smell of coke, and when he came back to his senses again, Gu Qiao had already taken the opportunity to escape to the mouth of the alley, and Li Hao finally found the attacker.

At the mouth of the alley, under the backlight of the street lamp, the figure of the other party was blurry but tall, and he walked forward step by step, about three meters away, Li Hao finally saw the other party's face clearly.

The face is extremely thoughtful, with angular facial features, with a bit of juvenile childishness, but in a pair of upward phoenix eyes, the eyes are cold and fierce.

Li Hao, who was taken a big jump by the sudden change, couldn't suppress the panicked look on his face, took a few steps back, and accidentally stepped on the can that fell on the corner of the wall, he suddenly came back to his senses, saw the school uniform on Zong Huai's body clearly, and realized that the person in front of him was just a student, he let out a slight breath, and vaguely regained some courage.

"Little brat, mind your business, go home and do your homework. ”

Seeing that Zong Huai was motionless, he thought he was frightened by him, took a few steps forward and pushed a few times

"Deaf or what's wrong? I can't understand people..."

Before the words were spoken, his whole person was kicked to the ground by a flying kick, and a sharp pain came from his chest, Li Hao, who fell to the ground, was stunned, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat, blown by the fierce night wind, he shivered firmly, and before he clenched his fists and struggled to fight back, the young man's heavy punches rained down, and after a few fists, Li Hao had completely lost his ability to resist, and the whole person instinctively curled up, holding his head with both hands, and kept begging for mercy.

However, in three or five minutes, the young man's ordinary facial features had been beaten to the point that his flesh and blood were blurred, but Zong Huai didn't seem to notice it at all, and still smashed it down one punch at a time, Gu Qiao could see that he was not teaching the other party a lesson, but venting, the other party was not a living person, but a sandbag for practicing boxing.

The white school uniform on the young man's body was splashed with dots of blood, and the person under him had been beaten into a little delirium, and he couldn't even say anything to beg for mercy, he could only let out some howls similar to the wailing of a beast.

The falling snowflakes and the blood on his face mixed together, blending a hideous color on Li Hao's face.

Gu Qiao looked a little frightened from the sidelines, if he continued like this, I am afraid that he would really die.

"Enough, stop fighting. ”

Her voice was like a switch, and finally turned on the thing called reason in Zong Huai's mind.

The boy finally stopped, he straightened up, took out a stack of RMB from his trouser pocket, threw it on the ground, and kicked Li Hao with his toes.

"If you can still breathe, take the money and roll, remember, my name is Zong Huai, if you want to take revenge, you can accompany me at any time. ”

Facing his gaze, Li Hao was startled for no reason, and the young man's indifferent gaze swept lightly, as if he was looking at a worthless waste.

Li Hao half-knelt and turned over, grabbed the banknotes, didn't dare to raise his head, leaned against the wall, and crawled out of the alley.

Zong Huai turned around, looked Gu Qiao up and down, made sure that she was not injured, and dropped a sentence coldly.

"Let's go, I'll take you home. ”
