Guan Juer looked up and stared at Li Haoyu.

She desperately wanted Li Haoyu to say something more.

Unfortunately, he simply rode away silently.

At this moment, Guan Juer wanted to back out again; she didn't know where her courage from before had gone.

On the other hand, Qiu Yingying also finished reading the emails at the company.

She couldn't resist sending Li Haoyu a text message to boast about her achievement.

"I've read through all my emails from the last six months, so hurry up and praise me!"

Li Haoyu saw Qiu Yingying's text message.

He couldn't help but chuckle and replied directly, "You just wait, I'll reward you handsomely when we get home."

Li Haoyu saw Guan Juer stop in place.

He wasn't in a hurry to go back.

Life isn't a romantic drama; it doesn't have that many dramatic plots. Nor can everything be solved by staging a Japanese drama-style run or shouting the other person's name.

We still need to let Guan Juer have some peace and quiet.

Li Haoyu believed she would figure it out herself.

…………

Guan Juer was in a dilemma at that moment.

She really considered just giving up.

She had even typed out an apology text message, but Guan Juer ultimately deleted it word by word.

She did indeed learn a lesson from Li Haoyu.

Guan Juer used to think that you should be well prepared before doing anything, but now it seems that's not entirely true.

Guan Juer squatted on the ground.

This posture makes you feel safer and less embarrassed.

She also cheered herself up in her heart.

Of all times, at this embarrassing moment.

She heard Li Haoyu's voice again.

Li Haoyu returned: "You're a good person in every way, but your biggest problem is that you overthink things. What's the point of thinking so much?"

Guan Juer raised her head and immediately stood up.

She didn't want to lose face in front of Li Haoyu, and she didn't want this scoundrel to see her crying again.

"I'll go to the competition. You can go home and don't worry about me."

Guan Juer tried her best to keep her tone calm.

Li Haoyu told her to park the car first.

He looked at Guan Juer thoughtfully.

Why aren't you leaving yet?

Guan Juer really didn't want to embarrass herself in front of Li Haoyu again.

"This is a big challenge for you. It's normal to feel uncertain, even lost and helpless."

Guan Juer is actually taking this competition a little too seriously.

If she had known that this was "specially organized" for her by Li Haoyu, she probably wouldn't have been so nervous.

The reason Li Haoyu didn't tell Guan Juer directly was that he didn't want her to think that this competition was a product of his pursuit of her.

Although this is an objective fact, we should wait until it is a fait accompli before telling Guan Juer.

"Just trust me this once. Don't think about anything tonight," Li Haoyu said firmly.

Guan Juer was encouraged by Li Haoyu.

She felt a great sense of relief.

But then he thought about how harshly he had scolded him earlier, even calling him a coward.

Guan Juer was still a little upset.

She stubbornly said, "Then I'll trust you one last time. I hope you won't disappoint me again."

"You really should go back this time. I need to go home and get some sleep too. Otherwise, I won't have the energy for the match tomorrow."

Guan Juer was really anxious.

In the current situation, Guan Juer really wanted to talk to Li Haoyu a little longer.

However, there really wasn't any legitimate reason for it.

Li Haoyu is just her cycling buddy now, not her boyfriend.

It's getting so late; it's not appropriate to continue like this, neither in terms of reason nor emotion.

Therefore, Guan Juer had no choice but to urge him against her will.

Li Haoyu looked at Guan Juer like this.

He couldn't quite understand why Guan Juer wasn't willing to say it directly.

In fact, Guan Juer has always been quite intelligent, at least much more so than Qiu Yingying.

This can be seen in many ways.

For example, when Guan Juer was arranged to go on a blind date by her mother, although she didn't explicitly refuse, she cleverly resolved the situation in her own way. From

From this point of view alone, Guan Juer has always been quite intelligent.

But why does Guan Juer always feel that he's not that smart in front of her?

Li Haoyu wasn't usually a talkative person.

But he couldn't help but say, "Sometimes, don't just think about others; your own feelings are also very important."

"When the crowd disperses, you are the only one left to face the outcome, because no one can replace you in your failure or success, and you alone can taste the bitterness and sweetness of life."

Even if others know, they can't truly empathize.

"If you don't plan for yourself in this situation, who will care whether you live or die?"

Li Haoyu's words were simple and direct.

Guan Juer was also deeply moved.

She burst into tears immediately.

"Then why did you say those things to me? I've never been this vulnerable before. If it weren't for you, I definitely wouldn't have cried so much."

Guan Juer blew her nose.

"It's all your fault that I've become like this. I used to be very strong."

She kept complaining, but she cried even harder.

Guan Juer seemed to want to vent all the pressure she was under and the exhaustion from her internship.

This time she cried especially loudly.

However, Li Haoyu had another thought at this moment: Guan Juer actually looked even more beautiful when she cried.

Is it just my own twisted sense of humor?

However, Li Haoyu quickly dismissed the idea.

Guan Juer's crying face possesses a unique charm.

Her eyes and nose were slightly red from crying, making her look very pitiful.

It truly makes one want to hold her in their arms and comfort her tenderly.

It's true that pretty girls look good even when they cry.

Guan Juer saw Li Haoyu standing to the side.

She couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Why are you still laughing? Are you gloating?"

Guan Juer didn't have time to think about anything else; she directly questioned him.

This time, Li Haoyu didn't remain silent and explained directly, "I wasn't laughing at you this time; I just think you're really interesting."

Guan Juer was somewhat puzzled.

In her opinion, the excuse Li Haoyu came up with was really lame.

However, Li Haoyu was willing to say that.

Guan Juer felt somewhat comforted.

At least Li Haoyu didn't storm off like he did before.

Don't be late tomorrow morning.

Li Haoyu emphasized it to Guan Juer again.

Guan Juer wiped away her tears and nodded in acknowledgment.

Li Haoyu said, "Then I'll take you home."

The two soon arrived at the apartment building.

Guan Juer pushed the cart toward the elevator, only to find Li Haoyu still standing there motionless.

Guan Juer paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Why aren't you going upstairs?"

Li Haoyu smiled and said, "For me, nightlife is just beginning. There are too many people who need me. I'm still hesitating about which girl to comfort."

Guan Juer laughed: "Will you die if you don't brag?"

Her voice became much clearer.

Guan Juer is in much better condition.

Li Haoyu wanted to pat Guan Juer on the shoulder.

However, Guan Juer instinctively dodged away.

This made Li Haoyu realize that Guan Juer was still not conquered by him, which was why she was avoiding him.

Li Haoyu wasn't annoyed; instead, he waved to Guan Juer.

Guan Juer also silently lowered her head and walked into the elevator.

Neither of them spoke.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close.

Just as Li Haoyu was about to turn and leave.

He suddenly heard a voice saying "Thank you".

Li Haoyu looked back, but the elevator doors had already closed.

It's really a bit of a pity.

Li Haoyu thought Guan Juer's facial expression must be quite interesting.

It's okay, if everything goes well tomorrow.

Guan Juer will belong entirely to me.

Li Haoyu called Qiu Yingying.

"I'll go with you tonight to try out the bed in the new house."

···········

Early the next morning.

Li Haoyu arrived at the bottom of the Joyful Song residential complex.

He was just about to call Guan Juer and ask her to come down.

As a result, Guan Juer emerged from the shadows of a nearby building.

"Why did it take you so long? I've been waiting for you for ages."

Li Haoyu was startled: "Do you know how scary this is? If you let your long hair down, you could look like Sadako."

Guan Juer rolled her eyes at Li Haoyu without saying a word.

She just silently pushed the cart and followed.

Li Haoyu said, "I'll help you park the car. This time, the venue is on a mountain."

Guan Juer's lips twitched slightly

"Does this still not explain the significance of my participation in this competition?"

Li Haoyu smiled.

"How can it be meaningless?"

"This is a competition that tests friendships. Some people will become best friends through this competition, while others may never speak to each other again because of it."

"But I feel you're different?"

Guan Juer couldn't resist her curiosity: "And what about me?"

"You'll feel like your whole body is going to fall apart; this is an ultra-long-distance cycling relay race."

Guan Juer didn't say anything when she saw Li Haoyu's gloating expression.

She simply gave a faint "oh".

Guan Juer remained outwardly calm.

Li Haoyu glanced at her heaving chest through the rearview mirror.

He knew that Guan Juer was still very nervous.

She remained silent in the car until they reached the mountaintop where the race started.

Guan Juer saw that there were actually over a hundred people participating in the competition.

She panicked: "With so many people, can I really handle this?"

Li Haoyu didn't say anything, but silently took out the two cars.

He watched his watch start the countdown.

"191."

Guan Juer was still wondering what Li Haoyu was muttering to himself.

The starting gun fired.

"It's already started, let's ride now."

Guan Juer didn't know what to do either.

But she subconsciously obeyed Li Haoyu's instructions.

However, Guan Juer was still in a flurry of activity.

This meant that the two of them were still quite late in setting off.

Guan Juer and Li Haoyu have been left far behind by the first cycling team, and can no longer be seen.

Guan Juer glanced at Li Haoyu behind her.

"I'm sorry, if I hadn't dragged you down, with your usual strength you should be leading the group right now."

Li Haoyu glanced at Guan Juer.

"You're right about that, my strength is indeed as described. But there's one thing you've forgotten?"

"What have I forgotten again?" Guan Juer asked, puzzled.

"Actually, you're the one who's made more progress. Before, at this point, you were just lying in bed dreaming. But now you've actually achieved this."

"But I'm a veteran rider who's been practicing for several years. What's there to brag about? Besides, if you're going to praise someone, you have to make sure it's on the right track."

"No matter how good you are at cycling, you're just an athlete. What's truly valuable about me isn't just my cycling skills, but also my ability to run a company."

"But that's not my most outstanding advantage. My most outstanding advantage is that I'm too handsome."

Guan Juer looked at Li Haoyu.

She couldn't bring herself to say the apology she had prepared.

How can you be so narcissistic?

Guan Juer simply started pedaling silently.

Li Haoyu was not in a hurry when he saw this.

Anyway, the journey is still a long way off.

He simply didn't believe that Guan Juer could hold back on her own.

Guan Juer was clearly holding her breath.

Her pace is getting faster and faster.

Li Haoyu guessed that Guan Juer still wanted to catch up with the vanguard as soon as possible.

However, she was just messing around.

The speed may be good in the short term, but it will be exposed as soon as the time goes on.

Long-distance cycling is actually very similar to a marathon; controlling speed and conserving energy are extremely important.

Li Haoyu spoke up directly: "Your speed is pretty fast, much faster than your usual pace."

Guan Juer glanced at the odometer on the bicycle frame.

29 km/h

"I'm only a little faster than usual, you don't need to encourage me like this."

"Anyway, we're at the bottom of the pack, and I haven't had breakfast yet, so how about you compromise and lower the speed to 25 km/h?"

"That won't do. Even though we're at the bottom, as long as we work hard, the final result won't be too bad."

Li Haoyu looked at Guan Juer in surprise.

"I never expected a young girl like you to be so calculating. Are you still the Guan Ju'er I know?"

"Besides, when it comes to cycling, isn't it just about people being in front and behind?" Those who are faster have to wait for us, so can't we do some healthy cycling?"

Guan Juer was amused.

She repeated "health-preserving cycling" several times.

That really does reflect the current situation.

Li Haoyu said with a smile, "So our main theme going forward is: to focus on companionship."

Guan Juer continued cycling while chatting with Li Haoyu.

However, her cycling speed gradually slowed down without her realizing it.

Guan Juer suddenly felt that riding the bike was much easier.

As she rode, she suddenly felt a warmth spreading through her body and mind.

Guan Juer suddenly understood.

Why did Li Haoyu say so much to her?

Li Haoyu wanted to let go of his burdens and enjoy cycling, so he deliberately said those things.

It seems she really misunderstood Li Haoyu.

This made Guan Juer feel guilty.

She tried to initiate a conversation to ease the tension.

Just as Guan Juer was wondering what to talk about.

"Quickly look up."

She looked up and saw a continuous expanse of rosy dawn.

The sunrise was truly beautiful, like a magnificent oil painting.

Guan Juer was mesmerized.

"You asked me why I signed you up, and this is my answer."

"The rosy dawn, the rustling wind, and a handsome partner..."

"It's pointless for me to explain this directly; you'll only understand it after you experience it for yourself."

"Stop showing off, I've almost finished the adjustments, it's time for us to speed things up."

"Okay, I'll follow your orders."
