She knew that it was his birthday.

But on the 29th, she was already in S City. There is a match on the 30th, Lu Zhi should not have any interaction with her life, so it is definitely not possible, she can't accompany him.

She was silent and did not speak, Lu Zhi was not sure what she was thinking, and frowned.

He parked the car on the side of the road.

"Not even for a day? Ning Zhen, don't be so stingy." He put his fingers on the brow bone, and said with a bit of shame, "I'll pick you up on the 29th, if you dare to refuse, I'll come to your house to find you."

"Lu Zhi!" Ning Zhen bit her lip, "Don't come."

When she came, she was not at home. If she bumped into Ning Haiyuan or Xu Qian, the situation would be very troublesome.

Ning Zhen couldn't talk to him about the game either. She was very uneasy, and she was really afraid that Lu Zhi would come to her.

"Then you should be good, Ning Zhen, I don't do anything to you, I just think you can't think well."

He was never ashamed or ashamed when he spoke, and Ning Zhen's ears slowly turned red.

She still had to make it clear to her: "don't come pick me up, I won't see you."

There laughed out loud: "I'm playing a TV series with me, isn't the heroine very soft-hearted, then I'll wait for you outside your community, can you come and see me when you're willing?"

She still wanted to refuse, but Lu Zhi suddenly asked her, "Ning Zhen, do you think I'm poor?"

Ning Zhen was stunned for a moment: "Why do you ask such a question?"

Lu Zhi paused: "It's okay."

It was impossible for him to say that He Ming had come to him once when the holiday started.

The boy who just got up from the hospital was unwilling and brought a group of people to his place.

Lu Zhi was calm, without raising his eyelids, he wrote and drew with his legs crossed.

He Ming laughed so wildly that the door was pried open, but Lu Zhi on the sofa still didn't raise his eyes. Written very focused.

As soon as He Ming raised his hand, the group of bad boys surrounded Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi stopped writing, twisted his wrist, his eyes were a little cold.

He Ming suddenly remembered the fear of being unilaterally beaten by this lunatic that day. But when he saw the seven or eight teenagers around him, he felt confident again.

No matter how powerful Lu Zhi is, he can't beat so many people, right?

So He Ming is not in a hurry.

He walked over slowly, glanced at the things on Lu Zhi's hand, and laughed out loud: "Oh, write a physics problem? Aren't you very obsessed, what are you doing with this stuff?" He patted Lu Zhi's hand. His head, his tone of contempt: "I know I have no ability, do you know why Yu Shanshan came to hook up with Lao Tzu? I think you are poor, where did you get the capital to be so poor?"

Lu Zhi never moved, his eyes became colder.

"Is it cool to wear a green hat? Lu Zhi, hahaha, let alone Yu Shanshan. If you like a woman in the future, that woman will have to..."

His voice got stuck, and Lu Zhi twisted his wrist fiercely and kicked him on the socket of his knee. Before He Ming could exhale, Lu Zhi touched the fruit knife from the coffee table and pressed it against his neck. He was so fast that several teenagers didn't respond.

Lu Zhi curled his lips and his eyes were cold: "Are you finished?"

He spoke very slowly, and the knife edge was closer to He Ming: "What will happen to her?"

He Ming scolded and said, "Are you crazy, Lu Zhi, if you dare to kill Lao Tzu, you will be finished!"

Lu Zhi smiled: "Oh." He pressed his hand, and there was a blood line on He Ming's neck.

The teenagers around were panicked, and He Ming's eyes widened in horror, his voice trembling a little: "You, you, you..."

Lu Zhi's tone was very light: "Come on someone and call Lin Zichuan."

Just as Lin Zichuan was about to board the plane, he rushed to Lu Zhi's house immediately after receiving the call. After hesitating for a while on the way, he made a phone call to the Lu family.

The call was transferred to Lu Mingjiang.

Lu Mingjiang listened to him calmly, and his voice was wide and gentle: "Thank you, there are people from me in the city, I will ask them to pick up Azhi later." The man's voice hesitated, "If you can, please help I persuade Azhi to let him come back, Qiu Ling has already forgiven him."

Lin Zichuan was a little embarrassed, and answered vaguely.

He knew that he could not persuade Lu Zhi.

Even without Qiu Ling, Lu Zhi was reluctant to bear Ning Zhen.

Several members of Lu Zhijia's family were quickly taken away.

As if nothing had happened, he continued to calculate the physics problem, and Lin Zichuan was speechless when he saw it.

"Azhi, you..." After thinking for a long time, he didn't know what to say.

Lu Zhi, who studied hard, is too weird.

In particular, there were several people from the Lu family who were still standing at the door.

Lu Zhi figured out the question and looked at Lin Zichuan: "You haven't left yet?"

"..."

Lin Zichuan cleared his throat, "Would you like to go back with me?"

He originally thought that Lu Zhi was going to refuse, but Lu Zhi turned the pen in his hand and raised his eyebrows suddenly: "Lin Zichuan, does Yu Shanshan think I'm poor to hook up with He Ming?"

Lin Zichuan laughed: "You just know, what the hell."

When Lu Zhi came to high school, he broke down with the Lu family. He didn't wear a famous brand and rented a house outside the school.

No house or car, go to Internet cafes and play games all day.

Except for the handsome face, he is similar to the gangsters in the society.

It is also Lu Zhi's appearance that is against the sky and sultry, and Yu Shanshan rushed to pounce, but couldn't stand his "poor and indifferent", so she hooked up with He Ming.

Chen Dongshu, Xiao Feng and the others also knew about this, and they all regarded Yu Shanshan as a joke.

There's something wrong with this girl's eyes.

I can see Commander Lu, but can't see that he is actually a walking RMB.

Although he was in trouble with Lu Mingjiang, the old man of the Lu family is also a rich man. Anyway, the Lu family is so unique at present, and everything will be Lu Zhi's in the future.

If Yu Shanshan knew about it, she would have vomited to death.

But Lin Zichuan didn't expect that Lu Zhi never thought about it. It may be that there is no self-consciousness of "poor people".

Lu Zhi pondered for a moment, frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

After waiting for a long time, he said lightly: "Go, go back to City B."

"...!" What happened?

It wasn't until Lu Zhi hung up with her that Ning Zhen remembered that she still hadn't made it clear to him.

But it's not clear. She couldn't tell him that she was going to play, and she couldn't reverse his decision.

When Ning Zhen was packing her luggage, she sighed silently.

If he can't wait for someone for a while, he will leave.

I looked at my watch, it was just seven o'clock in the evening.

On the flight at 9 o'clock, she quickly put away her things, thought about it, opened the drawer, and put her mother's photo in the suitcase.

Ning Haiyuan is discussing the design drawings with the client today, and will come back very late. Xu Qian finished the meal and called Ning Zhen to eat first: "The plane at nine o'clock, right? Zhen Zhen, you eat first, it's only seven o'clock now, at most half an hour, you only need half an hour to go to the airport, it's too late. , or you'll be hungry on the plane."

Ning Zhen couldn't bear to reject Xu Qian's kindness, so she sat down to eat with her before going out.

Xu Qian put her in a taxi and thought about it: "How about I accompany you there? The airport is not far from home."

Ning Zhen quickly shook her head: "No need, no need, Aunt Xu, you can go back first, I will call you when I arrive." If Xu Qian really followed, it would be incredible. She was going to S city, and her grandmother's house was in H city. , it was immediately exposed.

Xu Qian didn't insist, she was embarrassed and thought that Ning Zhen was reluctant to talk about her grandparents' side. She had to tell her to pay attention to safety. Xu Qian was worried. The flight at night was already too late. Grandpa Ning Zhen and the others lived in the countryside, so they couldn't go there right away. They could only take the bus the next day.

She had never raised a daughter, so she always felt that Ning Zhen going out was more worrying than Tang Zhuo going out.

The flight to S City takes two hours.

After boarding the plane at nine o'clock in the evening, Ning Zhen sent a text message to Xu Qian and Ning Haiyuan to report safety, and she turned off the plane on the plane.

She was sitting by the window.

The dark night sky looks more like a dark blue when you look closely, with occasional clouds, and you can see the mountains faintly below.

Now, two days later, is when she stands on the stage.

She will stay in City S for five days, if she can advance to the finals.

The preliminaries, semi-finals, and finals were one day apart. She signed up late, and she should have been in the last group. Based on her previous experience, the last group was in the evening.

When we arrived in S City, it was just after eleven o'clock in the evening.

S City is a big city. At this time, the neon lights are shining brightly, and the bright lights are reflected on her fair little face. Ning Zhen smiled softly.

Long time no see, S City.

The wind on the summer night was not cool, and it blew away the stuffy feeling on the plane.

Ning Zhen dragged her suitcase and called Ning Haiyuan to report safety.

The officials of the National Middle School Dance Competition have arranged hotels for the participants, all of whom are students, so that it is safer to gather together in a unified manner.

Ning Zhen took a taxi, and after arranging everything, lying on the bed only felt very tired.

It seems that my grandmother was wise to let her come a day earlier, just in time to support her state.

She took out her phone and was a little stunned when she saw the time.

00:13.

July 29.

Lu Zhi's coming of age ceremony, his birthday is coming.

For her, rebirth is sometimes like a dream that is not very real, like sleeping for a long time and accidentally dreaming of past and present life. When woke up, knew that the dream really existed, and the past few years and previous feelings were not half fake.

This day was too special. She lay back on the bed after taking a shower, and couldn't help thinking about what happened today in her previous life.

When she remembered it, Ning Zhen covered her face with a thin sheet.

"...!"

It was also fitting, and it started to rain outside. Just like the previous life, on July 29, it rained all day.

After the two of them hid in the cornfield in the previous life, Lu Zhi was caught by his grandfather and beaten severely.

The young man was dishonest, his grandfather beat him with a cane, he jumped and dodged: "Grandpa, please be gentle, oh! What should I do if I break it, I will feel bad for Zhen Zhen..."

Ning Zhen was crying beside her, she was ashamed and wanted to cover Lu Zhi's mouth.

His mouth is so cheap that he almost made his grandfather stunned.

After the fight, Ning Zhen was taken home by her grandfather and taught her to never interact with people like Lu Zhi again.

She ignited like a chicken pecking at rice, and her grandfather was panting, like pulling a bellows, and she looked worried.

Lu Zhi was beaten, wiped the corners of his lips, raised his eyebrows and looked at her, smiling uncontrollably. She can't wait to beat this little bastard a few more times!

Lu Zhi returned to the small hotel in the town to recover from his injuries.

In the early morning of the 29th, he appeared outside the small courtyard of the grandfather's house.

The rain was pattering, and my grandfather's house was a two-story building.

Lu Zhi stood in the rain curtain and whistled towards the second floor. She was so startled that she opened the window and saw him.

The night was blurry, and she couldn't see it clearly. Only a general outline can be seen, and know it is him.

With his hands in his pockets, he stood under the elm tree in the yard. The leaves were sparse and could not cover the rain. Lu Zhi's black hair was wet, and his shirt was wet. When he saw her open the window, he raised the corners of his lips.

Just look at her quietly.

Looking at each other in the rain, the room was dimly lit with warm yellow light.

Her heart was pounding and she didn't know what to do. He didn't say a word, just stood there drenched with dark eyes and a faint smile.

He knew she was soft-hearted.

She has the cleanest heart in the world.

Ning Zhen whispered to the bottom: "Lu Zhi-you go quickly-"

I don't know if he heard or not, but she didn't move. She was going to be so mad that she finally stepped down to open the door for him.

This time, Lu Zhi was flexible and pressed against the door: "Let me in."

She blushed and stood at the door. The rain was still falling, and the room in the countryside was not soundproof. She faintly heard her grandfather's cough, and her face turned pale in shock.

Lu Zhi picked up the corner of his mouth.

She finally gave in.

There were only two rooms in the small building. She pulled out the old sheets in the closet and gave them to him. Maybe they hadn't been used for a long time, and they smelled a bit.

Lu Zhi was a little disgusted.

The light was dim, he glanced at her pale face, and said nothing.

Ning Zhen finally gathered things at home for him to dry, handed him an umbrella, and whispered, "Go away."

It's so late, don't know how he got here.

Lu Zhi dried his black hair, his black eyes as deep as night: "Don't drive me away, Ning Zhen, it's my birthday today, can you bear it?"

She was stunned, and for a long time, Lu Zhi heard her whisper, "Happy birthday."

He was so soft-hearted that he almost laughed.

Ning Zhen said again: "You can't stay here, go back quickly."

"It's very late outside, it's raining, and I can't see the way back. I'll sleep at the door, okay? I promise not to touch you, and I'll leave early tomorrow."

So gathered a few chairs and built a simple bed at the farthest place from her.

Lu Zhi was so uncomfortable that he snorted softly. He may be really sick, and he is terminally ill, but he actually feels quite happy.

"Ning Zhen, did you sleep?"

She didn't, but she didn't want to answer his words.

"You said it would take a few years before I could sleep beside you?"

This made her unable to bear it any longer: "Don't talk nonsense."

"Huh? Let me guess, you're blushing, aren't you? I'm telling the truth, I really want to know how many years it will take, it's too damn hard."

She regretted it so much that she could not wait to push him out in the rain.

His low laughter drowned out the rain, disturbing her.

At that time, he didn't know the future, but at this moment, Ning Zhen knew the answer. She hugged the quilt and sighed, it was never possible.

After running around all night, she quickly fell asleep.

The next day it was still not sunny outside, Ning Zhen opened the window a small gap to breathe, went downstairs to buy breakfast and went back to the room.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and she felt a little uneasy.

Reluctantly, she practiced the dance she was going to dance twice twice. She turned on her mobile phone to surf the Internet and checked the weather in City A.

Sure enough it was raining.

The phone rang twice, and she clicked it.

[Ning Zhen, I'm here, you come down, I'll wait for you]

It was only eight in the morning.

He didn't know that she was not at home and had already come to S city. Ning Zhen tapped her finger on the screen for a while, deleted and wrote, wrote and deleted, and finally there were only a few words left.

[Don't wait, go back. 】

Just as she sent it out, the phone rang. She was startled, and when she saw the unfamiliar number, she knew it wasn't Lu Zhi.

There was a sweet female voice on the other end of the phone.

"Hello, is this Ning Zhen? The competition will start tomorrow. I would like you to come to the stage today and enter the categories and songs to be performed in the preliminary round. Is it convenient for you?"

"Okay, I'll come over now."

Ning Zhen went out to the competition venue. Since it was a national competition, every dance competition was very lively.

The rain outside was a little lighter, but it affected travel in the end. When Ning Zhen arrived, she heard a lot of people complaining about the rain.

She looked at the scene, and most of the participating faces were immature.

Students from the first year to the third year of high school can participate, so they are usually accompanied by their parents or teachers. You can see the big red banner at the door, and the posters on the side are also very beautiful. Because it is the preliminary round, there are many people, and the hall is crowded with people, and the queue is long.

Ning Zhen was in no hurry to enter, and looked at the huge poster carefully. The top of the poster was the competition reward.

The top three all have cash rewards, which are very generous, followed by 50,000 yuan, 30,000 yuan, and 10,000 yuan.

Divided into junior high school group and high school group, and selected the top three respectively.

She looked back, and finally settled on a set of photos.

- Successive champions.

"The 6th National Middle School Dance Competition, Ning Zhen, the champion of the junior high school group."

A fourteen-year-old girl, wearing a small crown, holding a gold cup, and smiling innocently.

She looked at it and couldn't help laughing.

A tall and handsome boy came over next to him. He was wearing a black peaked cap. He was about the same age as Ning Zhen, and his height was quite conspicuous.

He glanced at the photo on the poster, his eyes fixed on the sixth session, and the corners of his lips curved.

Oh, the little girl who robbed him of the championship.

haunted for many years. hope she will come again this year. If she can't continue to torture him to death, she should be tortured to death by him.

Tsk tsk, a blooming little delicate flower, don't know what it will look like after two years.

At the crowded scene, Ning Zhen waited in line for a long time before it was her turn to enter the information.

The group is indeed the last group.

The staff gave her a lot of precautions, and Ning Zhen listened carefully and wrote them down one by one.

"There are too many people in the preliminary round, and everyone only has three minutes to perform. Just give the number plate to the staff before going on the field, and you don't need to introduce yourself. Ten minutes later, the shortlist will be refreshed on the big screen. If you don't see your name, It means you can go home." He shrugged, "If you want to be a spectator, you can stay for two more days."

After finishing a series of things, when Ning Zhen left the hall, it was already 1:00 noon.

She rubbed her slightly sore temple, suddenly startled, and turned on her phone.

The dozen or so missed calls seemed to be cold.

Twisted down.

Finally a text message.

【I'm waiting for you】
