heartstrings

The marshmallow melted in his mouth, and it was sweet. Ke Ruochu, who never liked sweets, ate it with relish.In theory, sweetness can indeed stimulate the secretion of dopamine in the brain and make people feel positive.

"So delicious?" Sheng Ruqi couldn't help asking when she saw Ke Ruochu eating marshmallows deliciously.

Ke Ruochu originally wanted to ask Sheng Ruqi if she wanted to try it, but seeing that the marshmallows had been gnawed to pieces by herself, and their relationship was not so intimate, she had the nerve to ask, she licked the syrup on the corner of her mouth, He smiled and nodded.

The street is very lively.

Ke Ruochu looked at the time and it was just after eight o'clock, so she couldn't just wander around the street aimlessly. After thinking about it for a long time, she turned to Sheng Ruqi, "Sister, do you have time tonight?"

Sheng Ruqi turned her head, "Yes."

"...Going to play ball?" Ke Ruochu is rare to be so active with others. For some reason, he especially hopes that the people around him can stay with him for a longer time tonight.Maybe it's been so long alone.

"Yes." Faced with Ke Ruochu's tentative inquiry, Sheng Ruqi readily agreed, and she was naturally happy to have someone to spend time with her.

It hits it off.

In fact, both of them are the same, they are afraid of loneliness in their bones.I want company.

Ke Ruochu took Sheng Ruqi to a gymnasium near the school, where she often came to play squash alone.The two of them were lucky tonight. Although they didn't make an appointment in advance, there happened to be a vacant venue.

After changing into her sports suit, Sheng Ruqi came out of the dressing room first. She picked up the purified water on the floor and took a sip.

Footsteps came from behind.

"Let's start." Ke Ruochu said, and there was still some echo in the room.

Sheng Ruqi turned her head, and slowly twisted the bottle cap in her hand, her gaze was fixed on Ke Ruochu without moving away.The other party changed into a slightly tighter sports vest and hot pants. His figure is slender but not skinny, with beautiful lines, especially a pair of legs...

To put it succinctly.

Very good figure.

"What's wrong?" Ke Ruochu looked at Sheng Ruqi looking at him but didn't say a word, and asked weakly.If the other party stares like this again, she will wonder if her clothes are worn backwards.

For the convenience of working in the hospital on weekdays, Ke Ruochu dresses loosely and casually. In addition, she has a small frame, so she looks a little fragile.

"Let's start." Sheng Ruqi picked up the racket and walked slowly to Ke Ruochu, "Do you often play squash?"

"It's okay." Ke Ruochu was modest.

The ball was in Sheng Ruqi's hands, and she deliberately relaxed when serving the ball, but Ke Ruochu caught it easily.After a few easy rounds like this, Ke Ruochu clearly felt that Sheng Ruqi was letting herself down, "Sister, you don't have to give in to me too much."

With a serious tone, Sheng Ruqi turned her head to look at Ke Ruochu, "If you lose, you won't cry, will you?"

Ke Ruochu blushed slightly when she heard this, she raised her head to defend herself, "I don't cry so easily."

Sheng Ruqi smiled, lowered her head and moved closer to Ke Ruochu, and said, "Okay, then sister is going to bully you."

After the age of 26, Sheng Ruqi paid special attention to body management, and basically went to the gym two or three times a week, so her physical strength was naturally not bad.But she never expected that the little white rabbit, who usually speaks softly, is not inferior to her in playing ball.There is nothing to say about physical strength.

Ke Ruochu played very hard, as if he had erupted after being suppressed for a long time, which made Sheng Ruqi look at her with admiration. She played like a different person.

The sound of the impact became heavier and heavier, the speed became faster and faster, and the footsteps became more and more urgent.The two were evenly matched, and they played a lot of squash. It didn't take long for them to start sweating. Beads of sweat wet their foreheads, and then trickled down their cheeks, neck, and down.

After being hearty, the two dropped their rackets and sat against the wall to rest.Sheng Ruqi was almost out of breath, she hadn't sweated so much in a long time, "Do you often come to play?"

"Yeah." Ke Ruochu finally admitted, she also took a big gulp of air, her chest heaved violently, her heart was beating wildly, "I used to come here alone..."

Then, no more talking.

Ke Ruochu held the water bottle and stared straight at the wall in front of him, resting while losing his mind.

Doing things that I am not passionate about every day, working hard, not wanting to disappoint those around me, obviously not liking all the arrangements her mother gave her, but I don’t know how to refute and resist, exaggerating, sometimes I feel that life is not for me .After finally finding someone I like, I thought it would be a ray of light, but I found out that the ray of light does not belong to me...

If you have been suppressed for too long, there must always be a place to vent.

Otherwise you would have been depressed.

So Ke Ruochu often came to play alone, and every time he was so tired that he was sweating profusely and exhausted.She accidentally discovered that sweating, like crying, can relieve stress.

Sheng Ruqi turned her head and saw that Ke Ruochu's thin lips were lightly pursed, with no expression on her face, she was a little dazed, thinking that she was exercising too much, "What's wrong, I don't feel well?"

"No." Ke Ruochu raised his head and took a sip of water, "Are you still here?"

Still want to come?Sheng Ruqi thought, it seemed that she really underestimated this little white rabbit, "I can't tell you have such good physical strength."

A habitual smile appeared on Ke Ruochu's face again.

No matter how Ke Ruochu laughed, Sheng Ruqi could feel that she was in a bad mood tonight, "Is there something on your mind?"

Ke Ruochu quietly shook her head. After a while, she got up and picked up the racket, and started hitting the ball against the wall by herself.I don't want to say anything.She was clearly preoccupied and still refused to admit it, Sheng Ruqi stared at Ke Ruochu's back for a while, then got up too.

"If you lose this round, you owe a meal." Sheng Ruqi tossed the ball in her hand, "Simply put, we win three out of five games."

"Okay!" Ke Ruochu agreed without thinking, full of confidence.

You come and I go, and it's the same.

Ke Ruochu won one round first, and Sheng Ruqi won another round.

Until the third game...

There was a sound of friction between the sole of the shoe and the floor, Ke Ruochu went to catch the racket, but he caught the ball, but fell badly himself.

Sheng Ruqi hurried forward and helped Ke Ruochu up, "Are you all right, did you fall?"

"It's okay." Ke Ruochu sat upright, rubbed his ankle, and then said, "I seem to have sprained my foot."

"Are you going to the hospital?"

Ke Ruochu was still cautious, "No, it didn't hurt."

Hearing what Ke Ruochu said, Sheng Ruqi felt relieved. She looked at Ke Ruochu's sweaty cheeks and joked, "You don't want to invite me to dinner, so you don't have to work so hard, do you?"

"I was not careful." Faced with the other party's joke, Ke Ruochu still explained meticulously.

Sheng Ruqi looked down at Ke Ruochu's slender and tender ankles, "Okay, I'm the loser. Don't play today, do you hear me?"

"Hmm..." Hearing the comforting words, Ke Ruochu inexplicably felt heart-warming, his eyes seemed to linger on Sheng Ruqi, and suddenly, he felt the urge to hug her.

However, I only dare to think about it in my heart.

It was almost ten o'clock when we left the gym.

It would be a little uncomfortable to twist the foot, so Ke Ruochu walked a little slowly, and there was a row of stairs outside the gymnasium.Seeing Sheng Ruqi, she simply handed her handbag to Ke Ruochu, "Help me hold it."

Ke Ruochu didn't understand, "Huh?"

Sheng Ruqi: "I'll carry you on my back."

"No, no, no..." Ke Ruochu quickly shook his head, and said no, "I can walk by myself."

Sheng Ruqi went down two steps first, then turned her head behind her, "Come up."

In this situation, Ke Ruochu could completely refuse, but she didn't. She hesitated for a few seconds, and actually lay on Sheng Ruqi's back.Thinking about it afterwards, she felt that she was probably in a daze. How could she be so cheeky and let others recite her?

After stepping down the stairs, there is flat ground, Ke Ruochu is light, Sheng Ruqi is easy to carry, and the parking lot is only fifty meters away.

After ten o'clock, the square outside the gymnasium was very empty. Sheng Ruqi was walking slowly with Ke Ruochu on her back, and accidentally caught a glimpse of two figures reflected in the dim light, blending together.

Feeling the warmth from her back, Sheng Ruqi couldn't help thinking, when did she become so enthusiastic and not bothersome?Or to a girl who only met a few times.Speaking of which, she has never even recited her girlfriend.

"Sister," Ke Ruochu felt particularly sorry after being picked up by Sheng Ruqi, "I'll get down and walk by myself."

With only a few steps left, Sheng Ruqi still didn't let Ke Ruochu down, "We'll be there soon."

Although he felt a little sorry, Ke Ruochu wanted to let Sheng Ruqi carry her like this, because it was like a disguised hug, when he was at the squash court, he wanted to hug her.

Now, it can be considered selfish.

Getting closer to the parking lot.

Ke Ruochu wrapped her arms around Sheng Ruqi's neck, she lowered her head, quietly staring at the other person's cheek, a soothing smile slowly appeared on her face, if she was asked to recall any day worth being happy, she thought, she would choose today .

The lights in the parking lot were not bright, and suddenly something popped up ahead...

Ke Ruochu was startled.

At this time, there was a cat meowing.

It turned out to be a stray cat, dirty and dirty.

Sheng Ruqi turned her head slightly, and laughed at Ke Ruochu's timidity, "Are cats afraid too?"

Ms. Ke has fed the stray cats downstairs in the hospital countless times, but at this moment, she hugged Sheng Ruqi tightly and snorted softly, "Hmm..."
