"Thank you, it's much better now......" Qin Yi sighed after wiping his hair, and then pointed to the packet of instant noodles and biscuits and other things on the side, "I'll bring as many things as I can, hoping to help you survive until the rain stops." Maybe there was some rain leaking in it, but ......"

"Ah, thank you. Zhang Manning smiled and looked at the rainstorm and lightning and thunder outside the window, "I'm sorry to let you run here in the rain...... Why don't you go back now? Why don't you sit back and wait for the rain to get a little lighter?"

"Hmm......" Qin Yi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "Well, it's okay." ”

After all, he didn't come to deliver something not only to show his courtesy, but to announce to Zhang Manning about his relationship with Xia Yuxin. But it always takes a little foreshadowing to talk about it, and you can't just come up and say, "Oh, by the way, I dated the girl who went on a blind date last time", right?

It's as if Qin Yi thinks that Zhang Manning has a good impression of him again, but in fact, neither of them showed similar ambiguous behaviors and words, nor did they have a lot of frequent exchanges, but Ren Ze was getting in the way.

So in order to avoid being sentimental, Qin Yi still planned to do the foreshadowing, and then find an opportunity to naturally say this, in a way that neither of them would be embarrassed.

"Why don't you just take a bath?" Zhang Manning looked at the rain on Qin Yi's body and asked a little hesitantly, "After all, if it's raining, taking a bath will warm your body a little, otherwise it won't be good if you catch a cold." ”

"Oh, no. After a while, if the rain doesn't light down, I'll go back. Qin Yi said and smiled bitterly, "Besides, if you go back after taking a bath, you still have to get drenched in the rain, so it's better to just wait for the shower back before taking a bath, otherwise it's easier to catch a cold when it's cold and hot." ”

"If you really can't do it, just stay overnight, I don't mind, I'm not afraid of you anyway. Zhang Manning teased.

"Why aren't you afraid of me?" Qin Yi immediately raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked a little puzzled.

"You're such a weak chicken...... Zhang Manning couldn't help laughing, "You can't even fight in junior high school, and you basically haven't won a fight with other boys, right? ”

"That was when I was a child, and I can't help it, right? Qin Yi frowned and asked dissatisfiedly, "The situation is different now, have you seen it?" ”

"The means of fighting are one thing, and the courage is another story. Zhang Manning sat cross-legged on the sofa and smiled, "Anyway, I don't believe you have the courage to do anything out of the ordinary, so you can stay overnight if you want, it's up to you." ”

"Tsk......" Qin Yi frowned and sighed a little helplessly, "You know, you haven't seen me for nearly ten years, don't still look at me with the impression of junior high school." ”

"Really, what have you been through all these years?" Zhang Manning asked with a smile while hugging the pillow, "You said before that you worked in the FBI when you were abroad, what did you do?

"It's not that exaggerated. Qin Yi smiled and said, "I'm just a psychological consultant, what you're talking about is a field agent, most of the time I just sit in the office and give them a little bit of my opinion from the psychological aspect." ”

"Psychology...... It seems like you said that you have a Ph.D. in psychology abroad. Zhang Manning asked curiously, "Why did you choose psychology? I remember that you used to like to draw, and you also learned mathematics and physics very well." I didn't expect to choose such a ...... in college Liberal arts subjects are biased. ”

"Well, how to put it. Qin Yi sighed, "Sometimes I can't help but think, if only I could know what others really think." Some people are obviously in love with each other, but they don't express it in the right way, which leads to the opposite result, and in the end, they go further and further. Don't you think that's a pity?"

"Hmm...... It's a pity. Zhang Manning sighed slightly, and his expression instantly dimmed. Qin Yi hurriedly explained: "I'm not just talking about lovers, it's more about family. For example, many times, parents actually want the good of their children, because they have experience and know which are the right choices, but they don't express it in the right way. ”

"Well, that makes sense. Zhang Manning nodded and said, "Many times, parents don't explain to their children why they say this, they just blindly use their own parenthood to pressure their children and tell him to do it." ”

"Right?" Qin Yi said with a smile, "This situation is common in various countries, especially Huaxia. Many parents have conflicts with their children because of similar things, especially when children are often in a rebellious period at this age, and will have a stronger resistance to the arrogance of parents, even if they know that they are right, they will choose to refute. ”

Saying that, Qin Yi sighed: "So, I always think that it would be great if I could help people understand each other through psychology." I was faced with a lot of choices, and to be honest, I was more talented in other ways, but in the end I chose psychology......"

This is true, in fact, when Qin Yi was training, his best performance was actually martial arts, followed by shooting. So at that time he was classified as a combat agent. Of course, this is mainly because he applied psychology to these two subjects, so he got better results, which is actually a kind of opportunism.

Other people's psychology is used to obtain information, but he has gone off the rails and applied psychology to battle, thus gaining combat abilities comparable to Hawkeye, the highest combat power. Of course, it is undeniable that Qin Yi is also very accomplished in psychology, and there are not many people in the organization who can surpass him, so his ability to obtain information is not bad.

"Really? That's a good idea. Zhang Manning said with a smile, at this time, there was a lightning bolt outside the window, and then a deafening thunder sounded, and the next moment the house suddenly went dark, and Zhang Manning also let out an exclamation.

"Wouldn't it? There's a power outage?" Zhang Manning said to himself in despair, reaching out on the sofa and fumbling for his phone.

"Other people's homes don't seem to have a power outage, so they should have tripped. Qin Yi got up and came to the window, opened the curtain and looked at the window next door and replied, "Where is your electric switch, shall I go and take a look?"

"Behind the mural above the shoe cabinet at the door. Zhang Manning explained that it was dark in the house at this time, and she couldn't see anything, and she couldn't get up and walk around. However, it was another lightning bolt, and the room flickered, and Qin Yi's figure shook in this lightning, and in an instant, Zhang Manning suddenly felt that the shadow was a little terrifying, like a demon hidden in the shadows.

Although this feeling was fleeting, Zhang Manning felt a sense of powerlessness from the bottom of his heart.

She wasn't afraid of Qin Yi, but the strangeness was irrepressible, and it was getting stronger and stronger, which made her feel particularly uncomfortable and uneasy. Since the wiring was all intact, it just tripped, so soon the power in the house was restored. Qin Yi closed the mural again, turned his head and said, "Maybe it was caused by the thunder just now, this kind of old house doesn't have a lightning rod, it's inevitable." ”

"I actually know what Ren Ze means," Zhang Manning suddenly said thoughtfully, "He wants to poke me with you, and I know it in my heart, but I didn't refuse." Because I still have a little fantasy in my heart, is it possible to start over with you. ”

Saying that, Zhang Manning sighed, lowered his eyelids and said, "When I saw you again with Ren Ze, I was actually very confused in my heart. They kept talking, but my head kept buzzing, and I didn't hear what they were saying at all, just kept feeling remorse and regret in my heart. If I had been more frank back then, what would I be like with you now?"

"Both of us are too unfrank...... Qin Yi smiled slightly, "It's not your fault, as a man, I should be braver, I should be the one who is frank." So, it's actually my own fault. ”

"But liking someone doesn't mean anything, as you said before. Zhang Manning said sadly, "Obviously I want to do the good of each other, but the two of them are still going farther and farther." I've been regretting it since I met you......"

As she spoke, tears slipped down the corners of Zhang Manning's eyes, and her voice began to tremble: "So although I know what Aze meant, and I also know that I am not qualified to be with you anymore after abandoning you, I still have such a trace of illusion." But now it seems...... Ten years is really too long, and both of us have changed, completely different people. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Manning raised his head and looked at Qin Yi, barely squeezing out a smile, but tears did keep dripping: "You were right from the beginning, the two of us are no longer the same as we used to be." You're not the simple and a little timid little boy I liked back then, and I'm not the brutal girl who always spoils you......"

Qin Yi didn't say anything, just looked at her with a gentle smile, and then handed her some tissues. Zhang Manning took the tissue and wiped his tears, and said with a smile while crying: "Ha...... We really have to get to know each other from the ground up now. ”

"So, you just sent me a good guy card. Qin Yi teased, Zhang Manning sniffed, barely maintained a smile and said, "Well, yes." I'm sorry to give you an answer after all these years, but I guess the two of us don't fit right now. ”

"It's okay, I've been thinking about how to say it so I don't have to be so embarrassed. Qin Yi replied with a smile.

"Are you already dating that girl?" Zhang Manning teased with a smile, "The beautiful woman from the last wedding?"

"How do you know?" Qin Yi asked with some surprise, Zhang Manning smiled: "I saw it last time, that girl seems to like you a lot, I know that kind of look very well, after all, I have also liked you for so long." ”

Saying that, Zhang Manning sighed and said, "But you still have to be careful, to make sure that the other party is sincere to you to take that step again." Speaking of this, Zhang Manning smiled self-deprecatingly again, "But, I think you probably don't need me to tell you how to do it now, right? You should be better than me in this regard, after all, aren't you a doctor of psychology?"

"Ah...... Oh, yes. Qin Yi smiled a little embarrassedly, Zhang Manning tilted his head to look at him with interest, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "At least you look like the shy little boy in my memory now, it's relieved to see me, although you have grown up, but in essence, you are still the same Xiaoyi." ”

"Well, I think so. Qin Yi thought about it and replied seriously. Zhang Manning said, stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, then I won't keep you anymore, let's go back as soon as the rain is light." I laughed at what you sent, and it was taken as compensation for my dumping. ”

"Yes, I'm sorry. Qin Yi replied helplessly, Zhang Manning smiled, stuffed an umbrella over, and then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Borrow your umbrella and go back quickly." I wish you and your girlfriend an early breakup, and let me take you in when the time comes. ”

"Mengyou Jiyan......" Qin Yi replied with a wry smile and took the umbrella from her hand.

After the two came to the door, Zhang Manning suddenly opened his arms and hugged him, and waved his hand: "Goodbye." ”

In an instant, the figure of the young Zhang Manning in his memory emerged from his mind, overlapping with the figure of the girl in front of him, he knew that this goodbye was a farewell to his youth and the past, and everyone was going to move forward.

"Goodbye. Qin Yi replied, a trace of bitterness in his heart, and then walked downstairs.

In fact, Qin Yi also felt very sorry about the relationship between him and Zhang Manning. For so long, the two people have just been separated by one sentence, and just such a sentence has led both of them to a completely different future. In fact, he also thought about what kind of life the two of them would live today if the two of them were more frank back then?

No one will know, maybe they are still together, or they may have broken up because of something else, no one will know, because there are no ifs in this world.

But who doesn't have some regrets in their youth? With these regrets, people can grow all the way and become the better version they are today.

Looking at the torrential rain in the air, Qin Yi sighed slightly, and walked into the heavy rain with an umbrella.
