fatal blow

Wei Cheng didn't always stare at Yuan Jing like before, but Yuan Jing did feel that something was different.

For example, in the middle of the night that day, Yuan Jing suddenly felt an obvious earthquake.He was awakened by the wave. Since the house has only one floor and is made of wood, it would not be a big deal even if it really collapsed, so Yuan Jing didn't feel panicked.The earthquake lasted for about seven or eight seconds. After everything returned to calm, Yuan Jing walked back to her room from the yard.

Just after lying down again, Yuan Jing heard the phone ringing.

Picking it up, it turned out to be Wei Cheng.

"...Wei Cheng?"

"There was an earthquake just now."

"I know."

"Are you all right?"

"of course not."

The shaking wasn't that bad just now, unless he was lifting dumbbells in the middle of the night, Yuan Jing really couldn't think of any reason for the injury.

"Sleep later." Wei Cheng said again: "The one just now might just be a foreshock."

"alright."

The short phone call made Yuan Jing feel a little anxious.

After that, Wei Cheng was busy making money from this natural disaster.The epicenter was far away from Yuan Jing's city, but it happened to be on a piece of land that Wei Cheng had been coveting for a long time. Wei Cheng was very efficient, and quickly led people into that area.

The magnitude 6.5 quake was the strongest the entire state has seen in years.Several houses collapsed in the surrounding town, including one of the town's iconic clock towers.Broken glass and bricks surrounded the clock tower, and cars parked on the side of the road were also crushed.The clock tower collapsed several nearby shops, and three people died, two in their 50s and one 19, all employees of 24-hour convenience stores and pharmacies. More than 20 people were slightly injured in the escape, and some people were crushed under the rubble. Rescuers have been digging hard.

Tens of thousands of households were without water and electricity, and gas stations were unable to work. The government had to activate the emergency supply system and mobilize police forces to check whether the highway was broken.There is also a nuclear power plant in the quake area. There is no sign of damage, and all equipment is operating as usual, but even so, careful inspection is still needed.

Several centuries-old wineries and museums in the city were damaged, with broken glass and cracked roofs.Many homes also had to be repaired.Some people's roofs even flew into the street, hitting cars on the road and people returning late, and rescuers struggled to pull them out.The equipment in the school and the factory also fell to the ground in a crooked manner.

In order to recover slowly, there are too many places where businessmen need to intervene, and Wei Cheng took a fancy to this, and got a lot of contracts when the government was overwhelmed, of which construction companies accounted for the largest proportion.

Wei Cheng has been busy there all the time, and Yuan Jing knows it too.He concentrated on doing his own things, training, competing, watching the news about the post-disaster reconstruction, and dealing with Wei Cheng's sudden calls.

One day more than a month later, Wei Cheng finally arranged the affairs over there, and returned to the city where he was originally.

"Yuan Jing," Wei Cheng called Yuan Jing the first day after he came back, "Come out for a drink?"

Yuan Jing thought for a while: "Okay."

Wei Cheng stared at Yuan Jing as soon as he saw him, which made Yuan Jing feel a little uncomfortable.

"long time no see."

"Yes." Yuan Jing smiled: "Have you gotten rich recently?"

"It's not a big deal."

"You should be happy then."

Wei Cheng shook his head, and looked carefully at Yuan Jing's face again: "I can't seem to concentrate during this time."

"Oh?" Yuan Jing smiled and said, "Have you started taking drugs?"

"Stop talking nonsense."

"What's the matter?"

Wei Cheng took the wine handed over by the waiter: "Think about the past."

"Huh?" Yuan Jing said, "This is not like your style."

"I also find it unbelievable." Wei Cheng said: "But the fact is like this."

"Don't think about it," Yuan Jing looked at the football game playing on the screen: "It's over, it's over."

"Yuan Jing," Wei Cheng said again: "There is a problem, I have tried it many times before, and you should be able to feel it too. ——I used to make you very angry, so now, can you forget about that?"

Yuan Jing didn't go to see Wei Cheng: "I forgot about it a long time ago."

On TV, a young man in a yellow uniform is running with all his strength.

- The quarterback on this team is really good.

"Yuan Jing," Wei Cheng next to him seemed to have not given up: "I found that you are still very important to me."

"……Oh."

"Do you know what I mean?"

"I know roughly."

"Yuan Jing," Wei Cheng couldn't help himself: "What do you think of me?"

"..."

"say."

Only then did Yuan Jing look at Wei Cheng: "...I have no idea."

"no idea?"

"Ah."

"What do you mean no idea?"

Yuan Jing smiled vaguely: "If you have no idea, you just have no idea."

It took Wei Cheng a while to say another sentence: "I won't give up."

"Wei Cheng." Yuan Jing said seriously: "Forget it."

"what?"

"I said, forget it." Yuan Jing looked at the wine in his glass, then looked up at Wei Cheng: "Don't worry about the past, and don't worry about the future."

Wei Cheng shook his head lightly.

Yuan Jing stopped paying attention to Wei Cheng, and devoted himself to TV again.

At this point in the football game, the game is over.Both sides tried their best, but unfortunately one side was not so lucky.Yuan Jing sighed, this team's record this year is very poor, it is obviously a top team, now retired and injured, only a group of young teenagers can be sent, and the results have plummeted.

Yuan Jing sighed, feeling sorry for this team.

There is nothing to watch in the game, and the weather is getting late.

Yuan Jing picked up his coat and stood up: "It's almost done, let's go."

Wei Cheng sat there without moving.

Yuan Jing thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go first, there will be training later."

"..."

"That's it." Yuan Jing said, "I'm going back to practice."

"Yuan Jing." Wei Cheng said suddenly, "I'm really sorry for what happened before."

Yuan Jing smiled heartlessly: "It's okay."

Wei Cheng was silent.

Yuan Jing said jokingly again: "When I was young, my parents taught me that when others say 'I'm sorry', you should answer 'It's okay'."

Wei Cheng also bent the corner of his mouth, a little reluctantly.

Yuan Jing asked again: "Are you planning to leave?"

Wei Cheng stopped looking at Yuan Jing: "I want to drink alone for a while longer."

"That's fine," Yuan Jing said, "Don't drink too much, or you'll get drunk."

"I know."

"Don't drive."

"Ah."

"Do you need me to call Tiger Bone?"

"do not."

"Alright then." Yuan Jing finally pushed away the chair and left the bar.

When the door was closed, he took another look in - Wei Cheng's back was also very unclear under the dim light.

For people like Wei Cheng, it's just a trivial matter like drinking, so there's nothing to worry about.

The fans of the winning team outside were celebrating wildly - today is their home stadium.

Wearing bright team uniforms and recognizable colors on their faces, they swayed forward to participate in the TailgateParty held at the designated location, where these people can celebrate, drink, barbecue and chat together , Participate in various games.

Everyone along the way exudes joy that cannot be hidden.

Yuan Jing felt a little out of place.

He is not a fan of the local team, and it is really difficult to blend into this atmosphere.

In fact, he watches football just for fun.

Yuan Jing is not 10 minutes in love with this sport.

Those 10 minutes just now were perhaps the game he watched most seriously.

Otherwise, what else can be done.

Wei Cheng has been so obvious that Yuan Jing doesn't want to leave the other party with unrealistic expectations.

Leaving him alone may be the most effective way to make Wei Cheng give up.
