For Love of the Game

Zhou Ning was eating with Orange when he received this news.

Orange asked, "What's the matter? You look unhappy."

"No," Zhou Ning put away his mobile phone, "The list of wild cards is out, and we will report tomorrow."

"So fast?" Tangerine immediately put down his chopsticks, "I still want to take this opportunity to play with you for a few more days! We're going to sing K after dinner and go to the movies at night. There's not enough time!"

"Sister Orange, Sister Orange."

Zhou Ning interrupted her, "I have this meal with you today to make things clear."

Unmoved, Juzi propped his chin with one hand, and looked at him with a smile, "You want to say that we are impossible? You don't like me, and you don't want to be with me?"

Zhou Ning nodded awkwardly.

"Then you're done talking, let's continue eating! You must go to the movies with me tonight, and I've bought all the movie tickets."

"Sister Orange," Zhou Ning called again, "I'm serious. I don't plan to fall in love right now, and I won't get married in the next few years. You don't know me, and staying with me will only delay you."

Juzi argues, "I don't know you because we spend too little time together. As long as you are willing to associate with me, I can go to Shanghai to develop with you. Even if it turns out that we are not suitable and we cannot be together, I will definitely Do not blame you."

Zhou Ning quickly shook his head, "No, Miss Orange, think about it carefully, how difficult it is for you to walk step by step from the time you just entered the circle to now. You are a good girl with good conduct, high popularity, and a very successful transformation." You are definitely the most eye-catching female commentator in the "City" game circle, you can find someone who can help you more, or at least support you, and I will only hold you back."

With a seriously ill father, he maintains the family's livelihood. He can't even see the future, so how dare he involve others?

Even if it's not orange, it doesn't matter, he doesn't plan to have a girlfriend until his family situation improves.

If he has a wife, he will treat her well and not let her run around for a living and cry because of the burden of the family. When he decides to get married, all problems must be solved, and he can live for himself without any worries. when.

Orange listened in confusion, "Why are you holding me back? Your popularity in the industry is not low. Even if you retire one day, you will still be the runner-up player of the former professional team. What's more, if I want to find someone who can My boyfriend who helps me in my career, why don’t I go to Team Guan or Yushen? I don’t have to worry about marrying any of them for the rest of my life, but I just want to find a good man who I like and has a gentle personality .”

Juzi took his hand, "We can work together and make progress together. I believe that only you can bring me the happiness I want."

Zhou Ning put her hand on the table, "So, you don't understand me. I can't give you what you want. Maybe one day in the future you will understand what I said today. I hope you will already have love at that time." Your other half. Sorry."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and left the restaurant, leaving Tangerine alone to watch his back for a long time.

Zhou Ning stopped a taxi to go to the hospital, and oranges could still be seen vaguely through the glass windows of the restaurant.

He sighed, others saw him as an appearance, and there were too few people who really understood his true nature.He didn't want to disappoint Juzi, and he didn't want to delay this good girl. She had a bright future. As for himself, let's take a step at a time.

Zhou Ning brought some supplements to the hospital. Zhou Jing and Guan He were both there. Zhou Ning was a little surprised. He knew Xiao Jing was here, but why did Guan He also come?

When Zhou's mother saw him, she put down her things happily, "Xiao Ning, you are here, Xiao Jing said that you went on a blind date, how did it turn out?"

Zhou Ning stared blankly at Zhou Jing, who poured Guan He a glass of water expressionlessly, "Team Guan, drink water."

Guan He thanked him, and his eyes drifted over Zhou Ning's body, Zhou Ning suddenly felt as if a cold wind had been poured into him, from head to toe.

"Mom, don't listen to his nonsense."

"Hey, this is nonsense. You are already so old, it's time to find a girlfriend. You can't play games for a lifetime. The key is to start a family and start a career."

Zhou Ning smiled awkwardly, and walked directly to the hospital bed, "Dad, how do you feel?"

"It's okay." Father Zhou seemed to be in good spirits with a tube inserted into his body, "I heard from your mother that you and Xiaojing won the national runner-up, and my son and daughter are doing well."

Zhou Ning smiled, and Zhou Jing's face eased a bit, "Dad, my brother was also selected to play in this year's wild card game. It was composed of the most powerful players selected from each team. The team is going to the United States to compete."

Zhou's father turned his head slowly, Zhou's mother was very happy, and asked quickly, "Xiao Ning, are you going to go abroad to play a game? It's amazing! I want to tell your aunt, ouch, you don't know, she tells me about her every now and then. How is that son going to be successful, I hear calluses in my ears."

In front of Guan He, Zhou Ning was not happy at all when he was praised, but felt ashamed as if he was playing a big knife in front of Guan He.

"I'm going to wash some fruit." He casually took the fruit basket on the table.

Mother Zhou rolled her eyes and said quickly, "I'll go too, Xiao Jing, please treat Xiao Guan."

Zhou Ning felt top-heavy when he heard this, and almost fell down.

Xiao Guan...

Mother Zhou trotted to catch up with him, "Hey, Xiao Ning, what do you think of Xiao Guan?"

Zhou Ning's heart skipped a beat, "It's good. Mom, don't call him Xiaoguan, it's impolite, just call him Guan He."

"That's so unkind!" Zhou's mother glared, and leaned closer to him, "Xiaoguan always comes here these days, didn't you say that he helped find your father's ward? I know, not everyone can find a single ward. I think Xiaoguan is in good condition. I secretly took a picture of him for your aunt that day. Your aunt said, what brand is Xiaoguan wearing? I, an old woman, don't understand, anyway, the clothes cost several thousand dollars!"

Zhou Ning couldn't help laughing, "Thousands? He only wears team uniforms for clothes worth thousands of dollars."

Zhou's mother's eyes stared straight, "Hey, he's so rich. What does his family do?"

"It's business." Zhou Ning didn't know much about it, and Guan He seldom mentioned it. He only knew that the Guan family had a lot of property, not only involving one line.

Mother Zhou grabbed his arm, "Hey, Xiao Ning, do you think he can take a fancy to our girl?"

Zhou Ning frowned immediately, "Mom! Why are you still thinking about Xiao Jing? She just joined the team and won the best newcomer award this year. Her career has just started. Besides, she is only 20. You are so anxious to find her a husband's family." do what?"

"What do you know! Thirty is just right for a man, and twenty is too old for a woman. Xiao Guan has a good character, good conditions, handsome and polite. Xiao Jing will enjoy a good life if she follows such a man. If you don't want her, don't you hope that she can find a good husband in the future?"

Zhou Ning frowned tightly, "No."

"Why not?"

"If I say no, it won't work."

"Oh, tell me. Xiaoguan didn't even say no, so what do you say? I'll ask!"

Zhou's mother turned around and was about to leave, but Zhou Ning quickly grabbed her, "Mom! Don't go..."

Zhou's mother laughed loudly, "Look, you are in a hurry. If you don't know, you think it's for your match! This set hasn't been fastened yet, how could mom startle the snake first? Mom just told Xiaojing a few words."

"Admonish what?"

"How to deal with a man!" Zhou's mother's eyes lit up, and she became interested, "It's okay to tell you. In the future, keep your eyes bright and don't bring me back a vixen. When dealing with a man, you can't follow him too much. You are right The worse his attitude is, the more he loses his temper with him, the more he cares about you and loves you more."

Zhou Ning couldn't help but nodded.

Zhou's mother changed the topic, "However, you can't make trouble all day long. After a long time, he will think you are arrogant and unreasonable! So, you have to be obedient when you should be obedient. He is what he says, and at this time he will feel You are very cute and lovable, understand? Especially for a serious and tolerant person like Xiao Guan, he will definitely accept this set."

The expression on Zhou Ning's face froze.

After returning to the ward, Zhou's mother became more cordial and enthusiastic towards Guan He. Guan He responded, but rarely spoke, and was ready to leave after a while.

"I'll see you off." Zhou Ning stood up.

Zhou's mother hurriedly grabbed him, and gave him a secret wink, "What are you giving, I just came back, talk to your father more, Xiaojing, go and see off Xiaoguan."

Zhou Ning: "..."

"Oh." Zhou Jing glanced at Guan He, then at her brother, and followed Guan He out the door.

Mother Zhou winked and said, "Look, Xiao Ning, isn't this pretty good, what a match!"

Zhou Ning was not very happy, sitting at the table and peeling oranges.

After a while, Zhou Jing came back, and Zhou's mother hurried up to inquire about the situation. Zhou Jing was made uncomfortable by her sudden enthusiasm, and went straight to hide in Zhou Ning's side.But Zhou Ning ignored him and lowered his head to peel the oranges.

Zhou Jing wondered, "What's wrong with my brother?"

"Him?" Zhou's mother sneered, "I said I would introduce you to Xiao Guan, but your brother is angry because he hates you!"

"Mom, don't talk nonsense."

As soon as he raised his head, this one met Zhou Jing's eyes, those dark and deep eyes seemed to be able to see through his heart.

Zhou Ning stopped talking immediately, and went downstairs for a walk on the pretext of going shopping.

Unexpectedly, he had just left the building of the inpatient department when he was grabbed by Guan He.

"You..." Zhou Ning was taken aback, "Why haven't you left yet?"

"I'm waiting for you." Guan He said sincerely.

"Why don't you call me when you wait for me, how long will you have to wait if I don't come down?"

"I just wanted to see if you would come down to find me."

Zhou Ning's face was burning, seeing him holding his hand, just about to say that he was just going shopping, when he remembered what his mother said.

If you make trouble all day, he will think that you are arrogant and unreasonable, and you must be obedient when you should be obedient. People like Xiaoguan are the most prone to this.

"I have something to tell you."

Guan He's eyes lit up, "Okay, let's change places."

The two went to a coffee shop, Guan He helped him pull out the chair and sat down opposite him.

After some psychological struggle, Zhou Ning moved a chair to his side.

Guan He was stirring the coffee when the porcelain spoon suddenly came out of his hand and nibbled on the edge of the cup with a crisp sound.

A blush appeared on Guan He's face, and he didn't know whether it was from nervousness or shame. Zhou Ning's mood suddenly improved, and he smiled softly.

"Guan team, you said before that you would teach me how to play swordsman."

"Well, I haven't forgotten."

"Then it will be the wild card game soon. When do you plan to start teaching me?"

"I've already made up my mind." Guan He wiped away the spilled coffee meticulously, "During the wild card game we..."

Zhou Ning listened and tilted his head, "What?"

"When the time comes, you can talk to Shen Huai."

"why me??"

"What do you say?"

Seeing Guan He's face where you asked knowingly, Zhou Ning was speechless for a while, "..."
