That day, she lost her meal card somewhere. She was hungry at noon and found it in the desk in the afternoon.

The next day, she stood in front of the card machine in the cafeteria, looking at the numbers on the display, somewhat unbelieving, and repeatedly checked to make sure that the leather case was her meal card.

She looked at the number on it, took the plate and left, took two steps, then turned around and said, "Auntie, please get me a portion of braised pork."

The aunt scooped a large spoonful for her. She looked at the chicken stewed with mushrooms in front of her and pointed at it, "I want this more."

The aunt knew her and saw that she only ate vegetables and rice every time she came, so she filled another big spoonful.

Jiang Xueer took the plate and found a corner, hiding away from others, and ate with big mouthfuls. She ate so fast that she choked suddenly.

She frowned, pulled her earlobe down, and tried hard to return to normal.

A cold and anxious voice came: "Drink quickly"

Jiang Xueer didn't even see it clearly, she quickly took it and drank a few gulps, it was milk.

She turned away, not daring to look up, and whispered, "Thank you, I'll let Nanxi give you the money for the meal card."

“I don’t have any money on me”

Lu Qinyi was sitting two seats away from her and asked in confusion, "How did you know it was me?"

Jiang Xueer lowered her head and continued to eat: "Guess"

Lu Qinyi sighed, stretched his legs, and said leisurely: "My mother hired a tutor for me, and the money was charged to Luo Nanxi and deducted from his salary."

Jiang Xueer turned her head to look at him, and doubted: "Your grades are so good, why do you need a tutor, Nanxi?"

Lu Qinyi looked at her innocent look and said slowly, "Luo Nanxi is the best in the province in chemistry and mathematics. She is fully qualified to be a tutor."

"Eat quickly, don't think too much, only if you have good physical fitness can you run fast"

Jiang Xueer lowered her head and whispered, "Can you sit over there? My classmates are all looking here. I don't want others to talk about me."

Lu Qinyu was choked by her words. He stood up, took two steps, and looked back at her without even looking at him.

During this month, Lu Qinyi and Jiang Xueer would take time out every day to practice the 800-meter race on the playground. On the track, she saw that Lu Qinyi was obviously running faster than that day.

Jiang Xueer was a little anxious. Lu Qinyi stopped and handed her a bottle of water. She looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she took it.

After a few sips, she was a little skeptical, "Can you really run 1000 meters in 10 minutes?"

Lu Qinyi lowered his eyes, looked at the tennis court in the distance, and nodded: "Yes"

“Keep practicing.”

“Common progress”

Jiang Xueer had no choice but to follow him. Day after day, her physical strength, endurance and speed improved a lot.

Every day after Luo Nanxi came back from tutoring Lu Qinyi, she would bring fruit milk for Jiang Xueer.

Jiang Xueer looked at the milk and lunch box on the table and asked:

"Nanxi, why do you bring it every time you come back?"

Luo Nanxi pointed and said: "His mother gave it to you, saying that you can't finish it, so you can replenish your body."

"Don't worry, I'll tell Lu Qinyi everything I've learned and return it to him when I grow up. Don't think about it and just focus on your studies."

I still remember that day on the playground, when the whistle sounded, Jiang Xueer was full of confidence, the breeze blew her short hair, and her steps were brisk.

Lu Qinyi watched her moving faster and faster, feeling relieved.

Jiang Xueer ran to the finish line and looked at the physical education teacher, not daring to speak.

The teacher glanced at her and smiled: "You've made rapid progress. 3 minutes and 45 seconds. Your practice was not in vain."

Jiang Xueer's eyes flashed with surprise, and the corners of her lips curved slightly as she smiled:

"Thank you, teacher"

Lu Qinyi was standing not far away. Hearing the result, he clenched his fists:

"good"

After a while, Jiang Xueer watched the male classmates' 1,000-meter test. She lowered her head, then looked up quietly, only to see that Lu Qinyi had very good speed and endurance. Her brows furrowed.

Seeing him running in the front, the corners of her lips pursed. Until graduation, she wondered if Lu Qinyi ran two laps less during the test that day when he came in first.

The teacher didn't keep a close eye on the students and didn't use the stopwatch correctly.

A few months later, Lu Qinyi was still following her and whispered, "Jiang Xueer, wait a moment."

Jiang Xueer turned around, still not looking at him: "What's wrong?"

Lu Qinyi approached her and looked at her with her head down. He lowered his eyes, bent his knees, and stood lower:

"Jiang Xueer, open your eyes and raise your head"

Jiang Xueer listened to him for the first time and looked up at him. Lu Qinyi smiled and said:

“What’s your email address?”

"I will contact you by email later"

"You need to come back to me"

Jiang Xueer knew that his mother remarried, he was going to study abroad, and he was leaving, so she took out a pen and paper and wrote it down.

"for you"

Lu Qinyi took the note, glanced at it, lowered his head, and whispered: "Jiang Xueer, I..."

Jiang Xueer lowered her eyes and interrupted him: "Focus on your studies."

"Goodbye, I wish you all the best"

Lu Qinyu lowered his body and continued to ask her: "Can you call my name once? Just once, call me Qinyu"

Jiang Xueer looked at him and saw that he had bright eyes, a high nose bridge, neat short hair, and handsome facial features.

She looked at him, pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.

Turn around and leave.

Lu Qinyi watched her disappear from his sight without even looking back at him.

Later, far away in Germany, he would send Jiang Xueer an email about his studies every day. Some of the emails were shown as read, while others were shown as unread.

There are a total of 1825 such emails.

Jiang Xueer never replied to him.

Until five years later, that month, the email was never read again.

Lu Qinyi looked through it again and again, waiting. Time passed by minute by minute, one day, two days, half a month, and one month.

He felt vaguely uneasy.

He booked a flight back home despite the obstruction.

Lu Qinyu looked at the closed door. No one answered no matter how hard he knocked, so he had to pry open the lock and go into the house. He looked at every corner and called out "Jiang Xueer, Luo Nanxi"

No response.

There was freshly made ice cream in the refrigerator, clothes in the closet, and a few bottles of medicine. The corners of his mouth shrunk, his eyes moistened, and he said helplessly:

"She is sick, where is she?"

He looked at the notebook on the desk in the inner room. There was nothing written on it. There was an empty bottle next to it. He picked up the bottle and saw the word "Qin" written on the bottom.

His fingers trembled and tears fell like rain:

"I gave her this bottle. No wonder she showed up at the school gate ten minutes later than usual that day. She went to the playground to look for this."

Lu Qinyi regretted returning to China during the winter break of his freshman year two years ago. Standing outside the house without entering, he listened to Luo Nanxi asking her:

"So do you like Lu Qinyi?"

One second passed, two seconds, five seconds.

Jiang Xueer's familiar voice came: "I don't like it"

Snowflakes were falling outside the house, the dim street lights maintained a glimmer of light, his hair was covered with snow, and the wind was biting, it seemed colder than the winter in Germany.

A tear rolled down the corner of his eye, his back slumped slightly, and he put the things in his hand outside the house.

Return to Germany.

From then on, he focused on his studies, completed his five-year undergraduate and master's degree in two years, and also took over his parents' company.

Lu Qinyi never gave up and continued to send emails.

"Xue'er, if there are boys chasing you in college, you should be careful when choosing a guy. If you can avoid being together, then don't be together. - Qin Yi"

Jiang Xueer has read it but has not replied.

"Xue'er, don't do too many part-time jobs during the summer vacation, don't tire yourself out - Qin Yu"

Jiang Xueer has read it but has not replied.

"Xue'er, today is my birthday, can you say happy birthday to me - Qin Yu"

Jiang Xueer has read it but has not replied.

"Xue'er, can you try to like me - Qin Yu"

Jiang Xueer has read it but has not replied.

"Xue'er, I'm going to return to my country to develop. I'll come find you then - Qin Yu"

Jiang Xueer did not read it.

"Xue'er, have you gained some weight? Can you pass the 800-meter race now? - Qin Yu"

Jiang Xueer did not read it.

.......

Seeing the thirty unread emails in front of him, he panicked and dialed the phone, hearing the "beep, beep, beep" sound.

He dialed another number, "Secretary Zhang, book a flight back home as soon as possible, hurry up."

But he didn't know that Jiang Xueer had begun to lose track of him and was about to forget him due to her illnesses.
