Hu Bingbing's eyes widened in surprise. She would never be a homewrecker. "Are you serious?"
Jiang Xu nodded earnestly, his smile gentle as if he were thinking of something. "Of course."
Hu Bingbing opened her mouth, then stepped back and said, "Goodbye." She turned and left, her steps appearing somewhat hurried.
Life offers opportunities for trial and error. She wanted to persevere, but she also didn't want to hit a wall.
Gu Li watched Hu Bingbing walk away and asked, "Is this considered getting rid of her?"
Jiang Xu: "More or less."
Gu Li, "What's missing?"
Jiang Xu, “I’m missing a truth that won’t be exposed.”
Just as Gu Li was about to say something, Lü Chao and the others walked over. Ji Hai looked at Gu Li's leg and asked, "How is it?"
Gu Li: "It's nothing serious, I just bumped into something, and I don't feel anything now."
Jiang Xu squatted down. "Let's see. If something goes wrong, a fight is inevitable." He pulled down Gu Li's pants.
Gu Li's bump was actually not too bad; the previous bruises had completely healed. This bump wasn't as serious as before, but a large area was red from the shoving.
Jiang Xu pointed to the red spot. "Does it hurt?"
Gu Li wanted to pull her leg back a little. "It doesn't hurt. It's really nothing serious. I've rested enough. We can go now."
However, when they tried to leave, someone tried to stop them.
Liu Xian walked over with a group of people. "You barely managed to win this time, but you won't be so lucky next time."
Jiang Xu: "Barely? I think it's you guys who are more reluctant."
Gu Li: "There won't be a next time. A shutout is a bit boring."
Lu Chao sat down with his legs crossed, "Luckily, they really know how to flatter themselves."
There were also sounds of discussion around.
"They actually have the nerve to come? Don't they know what they've been up to?"
"He's from our school's basketball club. He even represented the school in competitions before. He didn't do anything like this back then, did he?"
“It wasn’t this group of people back then; look, they didn’t have the chance to go this year.”
"That's true."
For the basketball club members, who are mostly boys who are often given water and cheered on, it's a bit embarrassing to be talked about like that. Someone stood up and said, "You guys are pretty good, especially that last four-pointer, that was pretty cool."
Once is never enough, so it happens again. "Indeed, we can have a proper time together next time."
Jiang Xu smiled slightly. "Thank you, but we usually play by ourselves. Now that someone is injured, we're even less inclined to play with some people." He thought for a moment and added, "If we run into each other again in the future, let's say hello to each other."
He swept his gaze across the crowd with a cool expression. "As for some people, there will absolutely be no next time."
When he said that, the others nodded and waved goodbye. Of the group that had come, only Liu Xian remained.
Jiang Xu looked at Liu Xian, "What's wrong? Some people are stuck with super glue?" He looked at Liu Xian expressionlessly, "Carrying super glue with you doesn't seem to be of much help to you. Did you pass your driving test, young man?"
Liu Xian suddenly recalled his experience taking the driving test (Part 2), and his expression darkened even further. "Wasn't that what I wanted to talk about?"
Jiang Xu: "What's going on? Your Bingbing's gone, she's not following you around like a shadow anymore?"
Liu Xian, “You…” he said, controlling his emotions, “I just wanted to talk about this.”
Gu Li then spoke up, "What is it? If you want to talk, go talk to the person involved. We don't know you or Bingbing well."
Liu Xian paused for a moment, but didn't leave. Instead, he spoke up, "I just heard you talking."
Gu Li raised an eyebrow. "Then go further away next time. I'm not saying this to you."
Jiang Xu looked at Liu Xian, "So?"
Liu Xian, "You said you don't like Bingbing."
Jiang Xu: "Are you toothpaste? Why are you squeezing out only a little bit at a time? What's the matter?"
Liu Xian looked up at Jiang Xu, took a breath and said, "I want to say, since that's the case, we're no longer rivals in love. As long as you don't provoke Bingbing, I won't target you."
Gu Li chuckled. "Who are you targeting? Who do you think you are?"
Jiang Xu was also puzzled, "Are you trying to get attention again?" He was confused, "We have so much drama every day, do whatever you want, just stop bothering us."
Liu Xian glanced at Jiang Xu, and his intuition told him that what Jiang Xu said was true, so he felt a little relieved. But he still wanted to ask, "Why don't you like Bingbing?"
Jiang Xu: "I don't like you either, but I'll still give you a few reasons."
Gu Li sighed and looked at Liu Xian with pity. "You should eat something good," he said, pointing in a direction. "Hurry up and leave, this is so annoying."
Liu Xian glanced at Jiang Xu one last time before leaving.
Jiang Xu has changed a lot. Liu Xian can clearly feel that the current Jiang Xu is completely different from the Jiang Xu of the past. Liu Xian thinks that he may really never have any contact with Jiang Xu again.
If there is any, it's just that money that needs to be repaid regularly.
After watching the person leave completely, Gu Li handed Jiang Xu a bottle of mineral water, which Jiang Xu naturally accepted. "Thanks," he said, twisting open the cap and drinking the water.
He simply doesn't drink some people's bottled water.
Because of the time that had passed, the originally ice-cold mineral water was almost back to room temperature. Gu Li took a sip of water and said, "It's not cold anymore. How about we buy an iced one?"
Jiang Xu put the cap back on the bottle. "No need, it's fine."
Lu Chao glanced at his phone. "Let's go, let's go to Lang's shop and enjoy the air conditioning. We've really had enough exercise today."
Ji Hai: "It's because you don't do enough usually."
Xu Lang said, “That’s right, it’s just a warm-up for us, isn’t it?” He looked at Xie Tao.
Xie Tao nodded. "Yeah, it's alright."
Lu Chao was indignant. He patted Gu Li on the shoulder and said, "If Gu Li hadn't been injured, we would have fought for three days and three nights."
Gu Li: "Three days and three nights again, huh? Next time, if you don't beat me for three days and three nights, I won't let you sleep."
Lu Chao said, "Let's talk about it when you're better. Rest for now."
Jiang Xu watched Gu Li get up and asked in a low voice, "Do you need help?"
Gu Li answered softly, "No need. And," he said in a low voice, "You're really amazing, Jiang Xu." A faint smile drifted from the end of his words, lingering gently.
At this moment, Xu Lang patted the two of them on the shoulder at the same time, "What are you talking about? Come on, tell us what you think too."
Gu Li said, "I was just saying how I'm going to snatch all the good food later, leaving some fresh air for you guys."
Lü Chao: "Alright, I knew you wouldn't say anything good!"
Ji Hai said, "I'll let it go this time since you're injured."
Xie Tao said, "Hai, you always come up with excuses for him faster than he does himself."
The young people walked side by side, occasionally reaching out to shield their eyes from the blazing sun, but most of the time they were enveloped in its warmth; they walked alongside the sunlight.
