C41 Confusion 1

Xia Tianqing turned on the computer while Gu Qingping was running outside at night.

In short, what was said on Baidu was most likely true. Gu Qingping was unwilling to say it, but his curiosity had driven Xia Tianqing to do so.

Xia Tianqing searched for the name Gu Qingping on Baidu. Sure enough, Gu Qingping's name appeared on Baidu, and there were many introductions about Gu Qingping on sports news.

The most sensational news was that a few months ago, Gu Qingping deliberately went easy on him in a competition. He slipped and missed the first place and was ranked second.

Some people said that Gu Qingping was too arrogant. Some people said that Gu Qingping had been bribed.

In any case, there were all kinds of comments in the comments section.

Xia Tianqing was a little angry and immediately retorted: How do you know that other people were bribed? Don't speak nonsense here if you don't understand the situation, keyboard warrior!

"What are you doing?"

Xia Tianqing was shocked and subconsciously closed the page. This closing of the page was probably the fastest in her life.

"It's nothing. Why did you come back so quickly today?"

Gu Qingping was wearing a white sportswear with a towel around his neck. The sweat on his face was obviously not as much as before. He probably came back before running ten laps.

"What were you doing just now?"

Xia Tianqing forced a smile. "I. . . I was just checking the information. "

"Whose information are you looking for?"

"You. . . "

Xia Tianqing almost blurted out and immediately changed her words. "The information in our class is nothing. "

Gu Qingping frowned slightly. He stepped forward and pressed on the mouse, opening the original page of the website. The history records showed the search for the words Gu Qingping.

Xia Tianqing lowered her head as if she had done something wrong and said, "I. . . No, I'm just curious. "

"Curious about who that person is?"

Gu Qingping wiped his hair nonchalantly. Xia Tianqing said, "That person is called Luo Jiucheng?"

That was the name Xia Tianqing had just seen when she closed the page.

The champion of that competition was called Luo Jiucheng.

Gu Qingping threw the towel into the bathroom. "I'm going to take a shower. "

After saying that, as if he didn't see Xia Tianqing here, Gu Qingping took off his shirt.

Xia Tianqing could only cover her eyes. "I'm going out first. Call me after you finish bathing. "

After Xia Tianqing left, Gu Qingping stopped.

His gaze fell on the news report on the computer.

Luo Jiucheng's gloomy face was stuck in his mind for a long time.

Now that he thought about it, it had only been a few months ago. To him, it had actually been as long as a few years.

Gu Qingping went up and wanted to close the page, but his eyes fell on the comments section below. The comment from Xia Tianqing's account just now was directed at the trolls. [How do you know that someone else was bribed?] Don't talk nonsense here if you don't understand the situation, keyboard warrior!

Gu Qingping just smiled. Seeing the reply from the person below: How did you know that he wasn't bribed? Who are you?

Gu Qingping typed on the keyboard twice and closed the page.

There were two simple words on the reply. This sovereign

When Xia Tianqing returned, Gu Qingping had already changed his clothes and was lying on the bed.

In the two consecutive days of competitions, although his physical strength was not as much as when he was training, the psychological pressure was really not small. Xia Tianqing thought that Gu Qingping had already fallen asleep, so she also laid on the bed.

The computer had been turned off.

Xia Tianqing thought in her heart that Gu Qingping must be angry.

Maybe he was still angry, but he did not get angry because of his friend.

"If you want to know why I lost to him, you can ask me directly. "

This sentence suddenly came from the upper bunk. Xia Tianqing was shocked and said, "You haven't slept yet?"

"Yes. "

"[Then. . . Are you willing to say it?]"

Xia Tianqing said, "I don't have to know either. If you feel like you don't want to say it, you can choose not to. "

"Because I feel like I owe him. "

"You two knew each other before this?"

Xia Tianqing lay on the bed and changed her posture, as if she was listening to a story when she was young.

It was the first time Gu Qingping had said so much for the first time. Although what he said was simple and shocking, Xia Tianqing basically understood.

Luo Jiucheng and Gu Qingping both grew up abroad. Because their parents had a good relationship, they often came into contact with each other since they were young. Children's hearts were always strong when it came to winning and losing. Just like her and Tian Qi, neither of them was willing to lose to the other. Even if it was just a little bit, they had to work hard to catch up.

Luo Jiucheng's father was a member of Gu Qingping's father's team. Gu Qingping's father was a coach. Due to an important international competition, Luo Jiucheng's father had injured his muscles during high-intensity training and was unable to participate in international competitions. He was not fated to be the champion.

Feeling disheartened, Luo Jiucheng's father was told by the doctor that he could no longer participate in the competition. In his depression, he chose to commit suicide.

This matter had always been stuck in Luo Jiucheng and Gu Qingping's hearts.

Originally, the two of them should have been good friends, but because of this matter, they had completely broken off.

Xia Tianqing understood that feeling. It was just like her two years ago. Her desire to win was too strong, and she paid too much attention to winning and losing. She had forgotten what was a gradual process that led to that kind of result.

Xia Tianqing said, "Intensifying training, is it your father's idea, or his father's?"

"It's his father's idea, but we didn't tell him anything. "

"Why?"

"[You can grow quickly in adversity, not to mention that his father is dead. If you tell him about this, it will only make him even more depressed. ] Right now, he's already a first-class expert "

"How is he compared to you?"

Xia Tianqing thought that Gu Qingping would say things like 'maybe he's stronger' and 'I'm actually inferior to him'. Who knew that he answered without any hesitation, "He's still far from being as good as me. "

. . . ""

Xia Tianqing knew that Gu Qingping's arrogance could not be cured in this lifetime.

"I feel that even if you deliberately go easy on him, he might not be grateful to you. "

"Yes. "

"If I were him, I would definitely feel that you've underestimated me, you're looking down on me, sympathizing with me "

"It's not that I'm looking down on you, there's a bit of sympathy. "

. . . ""

Xia Tianqing felt that Gu Qingping's words were a little too much. Such a casual attitude could often make others angry. She said, "It's because you're too excellent. You can't see other people's efforts at all. "

"I'm excellent. But hard work is not for others to see. "

Gu Qingping could not reach such a level in a day and night.

However, there was no report that published Gu Qingping's successful journey.

Perhaps it was as he said, hard work was never for others to see. It was good that he knew the process, and the results were the best way to repay him for the process.
