Mr. Gu, my wife has blocked you.

Han Ruoxing was stunned for a long time.

She had mentioned this matter to Gu Jingyan, but at that time Gu Jingyan did not mention his contribution to her. She always thought that the salary could be recovered because the organizer was reasonable and knew that it was not her fault.

Thinking about it now, this idea was too naive.

For such a big event, why would the organizer care about a little etiquette lady like her? They don't care about right or wrong, they just choose the simplest way to deal with it.

It turned out to be Gu Jingyan... It turned out to be him...

"Gu Jingyan is a man with a very deep mind. He has set his sights on me for a long time."

Qi An was still sighing, but Han Ruoxing smiled and said, "Brother, I believe that when Gu Jingyan helped me, he had no selfish motives. No matter if it was me who encountered the problem that day or not, he would have asked for help."

Gu Jingyan didn't call her or say hello, and even when she mentioned this matter many years later, he didn't tell her clearly, and didn't regard this as a plus point for him, so she was sure that Gu Jingyan's help to her was absolutely without any selfish motives.

Qi An smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether you have selfish motives or not. Anyway, the red string between you two must have been tied by Yue Lao with a steel wire rope. Your fate is very deep."

Han Ruoxing agreed very much.

If they were not taken away by mistake, then they were childhood sweethearts. If they were taken away by mistake, they can still be seen together after many twists and turns, so how can it not be fate?

Qin Xiao's first lap was very fast, and Gu Jingyan was almost two kilometers behind him. But in the second lap, Qin Xiao slowed down, while Gu Jingyan maintained his pace. At the end of the second lap, the gap between the two was less than one kilometer.

When Han Ruoxing was giving Gu Jingyan some energy bars to replenish his energy, she felt distressed when she saw his face covered in sweat.

Gu Jingyan took the energy bar and patted it on her palm, then bit the energy bar with his teeth and gradually ran away.

It was not even ten o'clock yet and the sun was already scorching. Qi'an was a person who enjoyed life, so he had a sunshade set up over their heads and he lay there leisurely drinking watermelon juice.

By the end of the third lap, the distance between the two people was still several hundred meters.

Qi An took off his sunglasses and suddenly sat up, "Gu Jingyan is going to steal the house."

With two kilometers left, Qin Xiao's physical strength was approaching its limit. He liked running, but he had never run 20 kilometers at a time before. The most he could do was 10 kilometers.

I was able to keep up my speed just after 10 kilometers, but by the time I reached 15 kilometers, the air I breathed into my lungs felt like it was cut by a knife, and my legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, making it difficult for me to lift my feet.

But Gu Jingyan was still following closely, so he thought that he must hold on. As long as he maintained this speed, he would win.

But he never dreamed that the pervert Gu Jingyan could speed him up in the last two kilometers.

Qin Xiao was confused when he saw people passing him.

He also wanted to speed up, but given his current condition, let alone speed up, he wanted to give up every meter he ran forward.

He ran stumblingly and even seemed to give up on himself. He couldn't catch up and was doomed to lose. He couldn't get in with the convoy, so why was he still running?

Drops of sweat seeped out of his hair and slid down, stinging his eyes, and he felt like crying.

Just then, he heard Han Ruoxing's voice.

She called his name, telling him to cheer up. He turned his head away. Qi An drove the electric car with her, keeping a distance from him. Qi An also encouraged him loudly, "It's just the last bit, hold on!"

Qin Xiao was stunned, and his mentality changed from "I lost anyway, so I'll just throw it all away" to "I can't embarrass myself in front of my two idols, I have to at least finish the race."

He gritted his teeth, lifted his heavy legs and continued running forward.

Qin Xiao lost to Gu Jingyan by six minutes.

When he reached the finish line, Gu Jingyan's breath had recovered a little.

After Qin Xiao reached the finish line, his legs felt weak and he wanted to sit on the ground. Gu Jingyan went over and pulled him up, "Stand and rest. Sit down after a while."

Then he unscrewed a bottle of room temperature water and handed it to him, "Drink slowly with small sips."

Qin Xiao felt really ashamed. He was originally very angry because he lost the game and because he underestimated Gu Jingyan, but with Gu Jingyan's concern, he felt that he was really too naive.

He took the water handed to him by Gu Jingyan while panting and drank it without saying a word.

Han Ruoxing brought another bottle of water to Gu Jingyan and asked in a low voice, "How are you?"

Gu Jingyan shook his head, "It's okay."

I am definitely tired. Although I have been running regularly, I haven't run a half marathon in a long time.

He turned his head to look at Qin Xiao. The child was hit hard. His mouth was pouting and he looked listless, as if he was about to cry.

As excited as he was to see his idol before, he was now as depressed as he was now. He didn't even want to talk to Qi'an.

"Let's go, take a break, and have dinner together later."

Qin Xiao raised his eyes, "Will you humiliate me again after you win?"

Gu Jingyan smiled and said, "Let me introduce you to Qi'an."

Qin Xiao was stunned, a little bit unbelieving, "But I lost."

Gu Jingyan nodded, "So I can't join the team, but it's still okay for me to get to know him." After a pause, "Or do you not want to get to know him?"

"I want to!" Qin Xiao responded impatiently, then he felt a little embarrassed and coughed, "What? I didn't expect that you are still so strong at your age. I'm willing to admit defeat. You are awesome."

Gu Jingyan paused, "What age?"

Qin Xiao was about to say that he was almost 40 years old, but when he saw Han Ruoxing behind Gu Jingyan winking at him, he suddenly became smart and started to flatter him, "Brother, the way you are dressed today makes you look about the same age as me. My friend thought you were born in the 2000s like us."

Gu Jingyan's expression became better. "Let's go."

Although he didn't get into the team, Qin Xiao was very happy to meet Qi'an. After dinner, he asked for a photo. On the way back to school, Gu Jingyan saw him grinning at the photo and asked him, "Do you remember what you promised me?"

"Remember, don't participate in that kind of competition anymore, study hard and make progress every day." Qin Xiao raised his head, "Didn't my mother ask you to persuade me like this?"

Gu Jingyan did not answer this question, but asked him, "How does it feel to run a half marathon?"

Qin Xiao said, "It was uncomfortable. I felt like I was dying the further I ran. I wanted to give up every second, but I still felt a sense of accomplishment after finishing the run."

Gu Jingyan smiled and said, "It's easy to like something, but what's important is long-term persistence. Think about it, do you like the thrill of racing, or do you really want to achieve success in racing and make it your lifelong career?"

Qin Xiao was stunned. He had never thought about a long-term career. The sense of excitement seemed to be more than that. He just liked cars and the sound of racing engines.

Qin Xiao sighed, "To be honest, my current major was chosen by my parents. I don't like it and I find it boring."

I don't like it, so I don't care.

Gu Jingyan was silent for a few seconds, then he started to attack, "How many years does your school give for changing majors? Or how many years for a double degree?"
