Trajectory 2: entangled curves

In the end, she didn't leave.

There were some things that she didn't want to avoid, no matter if they were what she wanted or not. It wasn't that she didn't want to avoid him, but she didn't want to avoid herself.

She had to face his gradually obvious changes towards her, her doubts about his changes, and the uneasiness brought about by this speculation.

I just watched the game in peace. When the game was over, I watched the fathers leave the field and said goodbye to them one by one.

During this period, Shen Chengkun just sat opposite her and watched her do all this.

Zhuge Qinuo would glance at him from the corner of his eyes, and he would remain calm and composed, even if he had just finished playing basketball.

But until the last father left, he showed no intention of coming over.

"Didn't you say you were going to wait for him? Why is there no movement? Or have you forgotten what you said just now?" Zhuge Qinuo didn't know if he did it on purpose, but she was not willing to take the initiative to step forward, so she had to turn around, bend down, pick up the remaining water, and walk towards the door.

There were footsteps running behind me...

"I've been waiting for you for so long, and you're just leaving like this?" The man ran beside her, "I'll do it."

He took the things from her hand.

Zhuge Qinuo didn't know how to face it, so he didn't say anything.

"Are you angry because you've been waiting for so long?" He turned his head to look at her, "I just wanted to finish the water you handed me. I didn't want to waste it."

Zhuge Qinuo: "I don't get angry so easily. I just don't know what you mean by asking me to wait for you but not coming to find me."

"So, you want me to come to you?" He still looked sideways at her.

Zhuge Qinuo wanted to refuse, but if she did, it would be too inconsistent with her actions. If she didn't want someone to come find her, she wouldn't have to stay.

"So, what do you want from me?" Simply turn the passive into active.

"Hehe, I just want to help you carry all this water. It's too heavy for a girl like you."

Zhuge Qinuo had three black lines on his forehead and was speechless.

Shen Chengkun: "Also, everyone has a share of drinks today, so it doesn't count against our previous agreement."

It turned out that he knew everything, and knew that the two bottles of sports drinks were bought for him specially according to what she said last time.

Zhuge Qinuo: "Okay."

Shen Chengkun: "Today, I got hit by another ball. How do you think you can thank me?"

Zhuge Qinuo: "I beg you, don't block the ball for me next time, it's too costly."

Shen Chengkun: "You lose money, and I help you get rid of the disaster. It's fair."

The topic was more relaxed than Zhuge Qinuo had imagined, and he had already reached her car as he was talking.

The two put the water into the trunk.

"Going home?" Shen Chengkun asked.

"Let's send these back to school first. I may not know when I will come next time." Zhuge Qinuo replied.

"okay."

"Okay then, goodbye."

Zhuge Qinuo couldn't stand this kind of lonely atmosphere and simply said goodbye.

Get in your car.

Zhuge Qinuo calmed his heartbeat, turned on the navigation, and drove carefully.

I drove to the school gate smoothly, got out of the car, got some water, and just opened the trunk...

"I'll do it!" The action of getting the water was interrupted by two words.

The voice was so gentle, but Zhuge Qinuo didn't dare to face it. She didn't dare to turn around, but let the person take the water to the school gate.

When he came out again, he invited: "Would you like to have a midnight snack together?"

"I don't have time. I need to go home and take care of the baby." She refused.

"Okay then." He had anticipated her refusal and said with a smile.

"Well, thank you! I'll be leaving then?" Zhuge Qinuo made a gesture to leave.

Shen Chengkun smiled brightly: "Okay, goodbye."

Zhuge Qinuo: "Goodbye."

This is the end?

All the psychological preparation was of no use. Zhuge Qinuo thought that she was just being overly sentimental and making a big deal out of nothing.

On the way home, she carefully recalled Shen Chengkun's actions. She didn't know what this meant to her.

It's not even ambiguous, but it's definitely making my heart flutter.

She stayed, obviously to solve the strange things she was aware of, but she didn't speak. She wanted to tell herself that it was just that she didn't have the right opportunity or entry point to speak, but she knew that at this moment, all she could tell herself were just excuses.

This kind of extreme tug-of-war is the most difficult to control. She suddenly felt that the cheating that she once sneered at was actually understandable and even easy to do. She couldn't help but understand the love between Han Moli and Yang Qiang, who knew that there were ethical and moral problems.

But she is not Han Moli, let alone Yang Qiang.

So, whether all this about Shen Chengkun, that extra care, was her illusion or his true feelings, Zhuge Qinuo anticipated the development and results of things from the worst perspective. She would never allow such a result to happen to herself who claimed to have a strong sense of principle.

I don’t know if it’s because whenever Zhuge Qinuo went, the class teacher would buy extra sports drinks for the basketball team, but in every subsequent basketball team activity, the class teacher would ask Zhuge Qinuo if he had time to come at the request of the parents, and he would ask every time.

She refused several times at the beginning, but she also thought that these things were initiated by herself and Han Moli, and she couldn't just walk away just because her child graduated. So she tried to go when she had time, so that she could see it through to the end.

As the number of times increased, more and more parents joined the basketball team, many of whom Zhuge Qinuo did not know at all. Even the head teacher felt that she was spending too much money, and finally slowly cultivated new parents and prepared to replace them to take over.

It was her last shift before the change of staff. Han Moli still hadn't come, but Zhuge Qinuo had. Shen Chengkun, like every time before, waited until the end to help her carry water.

She vaguely felt that this behavior had become Shen Chengkun's habit. When Zhuge Qinuo realized that he enjoyed this habit, she knew that things could not continue like this.

She wanted to solve these problems, but he never said much every time. He just did things silently, said goodbye to her and let her drive away first.

This left Zhuge Qinuo no chance to explain herself clearly. She was even more afraid that the other person was only helping her out because he was a nice person and they had been classmates for many years, and that he had no other intentions at all. It would be very abrupt for her to say anything on her own initiative.

So I never spoke.

After the event, Zhuge Qinuo just bought some props for the class basketball team activities, and Shen Chengkun was moving things as usual. She thanked him so many times, but she didn't dare to really look at him who was busy for her.

This time, she didn't dare turn around and look until she saw his back.

He closed the trunk door but didn't get in the car and drive away immediately.

She knew that what was coming could not be avoided, and she was very clear about what she wanted, what she could do, and what she could not do. Instead of letting her heart drift and doubt, it was better to let everything have a result.

Even if she was overthinking, so what? She had to figure out and resolve some things.

It’s better to do it today than to wait for a day.
