Trajectory 2: entangled curves

As they walked, Zheng Qili and Yan Zhengping came to a large open space, as big as a school playground. Zhuge Qinuo and Chen Chen did not dare to follow too closely, so they hid in the shadows of the houses around the flat ground. There they could see what the two were doing, but they would not be discovered.

Zheng Qili hugged Yan Zhengping from behind. He turned around and tried to break free, but did not leave directly. Instead, he faced her, probably saying something.

Judging from their body language, the two were exchanging words, and they probably weren't talking about love.

Zhuge Qinuo saw Zheng Qili and Yan Zhengping moving forward and backward. Seeing Yan Zhengping was about to turn around and leave, the next second, if she was not mistaken, Zheng Qili kissed him directly.

Zhuge Qinuo's understanding of their relationship was refreshed once again.

Yan Zhengping turned his head away and pulled Zheng Qili away, but she did not give up and continued.

After a few tugs of war, Zhuge Qinuo actually saw them kissing, mouth to mouth.

However, this kiss was not what Zhuge Qinuo had imagined. There was no aesthetic feeling. Instead, it seemed to have pushed Yan Zhengping's patience to the limit. He pushed Zheng Qili away. Maybe it was because of the force, or maybe it was because Zheng Qili's center of gravity was unstable, she fell to the ground.

However, the fall did not bring any pity or even sympathy.

Yan Zhengping turned around and left.

"What exactly do you want me to do?" Zheng Qili's voice was a little far away, but it was loud enough for Zhuge Qinuo and Chen Chen to hear the content clearly and to hear the heart-wrenching emotion.

Yan Zhengping seemed not to hear her and walked away with his back to her.

Zhuge Qinuo couldn't bear it any longer and rushed out.

This time Chen Chen didn't hold him back. She ran quickly behind Yan Zhengping and pushed him hard.

Caught off guard, Yan Zhengping stumbled forward and nearly fell. He turned around and tried to attack.

Zhuge Qinuo felt the momentum, the moment he turned and rushed over, the air around him seemed to be scared away. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, yelling at him: "Are you still a man?" The voice was loud, but it did not stop it from trembling. It was hard to tell whether the trembling was due to panting after jogging a few steps, or because of anger, or because of fear.

When Zhuge Qinuo asked about Yan Zhengping, she found out that he was a good fighter. So she was afraid that he would hit her right away. She was supported by the belief that "he is strong, I must be stronger". As long as she was not afraid, nothing could make her surrender, not even Yan Zhengping.

There was no violent storm or fierce momentum as imagined. Yan Zhengping held his forehead and smiled: "It's really you!"

The voice was not loud, but every word fell clearly into Zhuge Qinuo's ears. Perhaps she should investigate further, but at the moment she could not care so much and was too lazy to pay attention.

He turned around and squatted down to help Zheng Qili, staring at Yan Zhengping who turned around.

The funny thing is that Zheng Qili didn't even look at Zhuge Qinuo, and looked at Yan Zhengping with a half-confessing and half-resentful look.

Zhuge Qinuo insisted on letting her get up, but was pushed away by Zheng Qili.

Zhuge Qinuowan didn't expect such a result. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.

No care, no apologies.

Only Zheng Qili asked Yan Zhengping persistently: "What do you want me to do?"

again and again.

The voice was accompanied by tears, which made a bystander inevitably moved. Zhuge Qinuo understood Zheng Qili. In such an excited mood, there should be no one else in her heart and eyes except Yan Zhengping. Zhuge Qinuo chose to forgive Zheng Qili for being pushed down by her.

She could forgive Zheng Qili, but that didn't mean she would let the person who caused the problem go. She stood up, took two steps forward, and walked in front of Yan Zhengping: "Help Qili up!"

When Yan Zhengping saw that it was her, his expression changed, but he still smiled.

One was crying on the ground, one was on high alert, and one was just downplaying it.

Yan Zhengping's smile was full of contempt, which made Zhuge Qinuo feel extremely humiliated.

"Why should I be controlled by such a gangster now?" Zhuge Qinuo thought so, took a deep breath, raised his hands, and pushed Yan Zhengping's chest.

He was pushed back several steps and even felt some pain.

Yan Zhengping laughed instead of getting angry: "So you are so wild?"

She ignored him, raised her head and continued forward: "I asked you to help her up!" her tone was firm.

"Why?" Yan Zhengping asked with a smile, a bit of disdain and amusement.

"Because she likes you." Zhuge Qinuo answered. In fact, she didn't know how to answer this question.

Yan Zhengping sneered, not wanting to say anything else, and chose to turn around and leave.

This attitude really irritated Zhuge Qinuo. Anyway, she didn't have the image of a lady anymore. She also stepped forward and grabbed Yan Zhengping's clothes from behind: "I asked you to help her up!"

Yan Zhengping never expected that Zhuge Qinuo would disregard his image for Zheng Qili. He stopped for two seconds and turned around to break free from her entanglement.

"What on earth do you want to do?" He was also a little angry. "What does my relationship with her have to do with you?"

"She is my friend." Zhuge Qinuo said confidently.

"Then you just take good care of her!" Yan Zhengping said and left.

After this conversation, Zhuge Qinuo felt that he was being unreasonable: "Do I really understand what's going on between the two of them? What position do I have? What status do I have to get involved?"

She began to waver and fall into self-doubt.

Zheng Qili cried in despair after seeing Zhuge Qinuo's efforts and Yan Zhengping's stubbornness.

Perhaps because he felt empathy from the crying, Zhuge Qinuo also cried.

She looked at Yan Zhengping's back as he walked away with his hands in his pockets, and she felt very sad, sad for Zheng Qili.

Why is this happening? What went wrong? Zhuge Qinuo didn't have time to think deeply. She didn't want to give up. No matter what the reason was, he was wrong to push the girl to the ground and make her cry. She continued to chase him and grabbed Yan Zhengping's arm, trying to drag him towards Zheng Qili. But the strength was still too different. Yan Zhengping just turned sideways and was not dragged by her at all.

The two of them stopped like this, she held his arms tightly with both hands, and he looked at her.

"What do you want from me?" Yan Zhengping asked. This time, he was no longer angry, but calm and smiling with a bit of helplessness, as if everything that was happening now had nothing to do with him, which was in sharp contrast to Zhuge Qinuo's tearful smile.

Zhuge Qinuo felt that these words were very familiar, but it was rare that both she and he were still emotionally stable: "Just make peace with each other!" she asked.

"We're not quarreling. It's not as simple as making up or not." Yan Zhengping explained.

"What is that?" Zhuge Qinuo really didn't understand.
