Don't think of rebirth.

Chapter 644 Regret

Lu Jingying was a little uneasy and accidentally hit her head when getting on the car.

Xiang Jiri felt pain just watching, and when Lu Jingying got into the car, he held her head and looked at her: "Did you faint?"

Lu Jingying waved her hand away and said unhappily, "No, I'm fine."

Xiang Ji Ri didn't care. The children had gone out to eat, leaving only her and Lu Jingying at home. It was troublesome to prepare meals, so they went out to eat as well.

"What kind of restaurant is this Yunjinlou that your Xiao Tao mentioned?" Lu Jingying asked.

Although she was hiding outside the camera just now, she could still see the scene displayed on the screen, and naturally recognized how high-end and exquisite the layout of Yunjin Building was.

"It's a club opened by Shen Xing's classmate's family, which provides catering services. The membership card I gave him before allows him to get a free meal once every quarter." Xiang Ji Ri gave a brief explanation.

Hearing her say this, Lu Jingying felt a little relieved. She didn't want to take too much advantage.

Seeing that she relaxed, Xiang Ji Ri withdrew his gaze, started the car, and drove to the restaurant they had chosen earlier.

The scene outside the car window quickly receded. Xiang Ji Ri turned on the car music, and melodious music suddenly echoed in the car.

When the next song was switched, it was a song that Lu Jingying was familiar with. She subconsciously said, "Why are you still listening to this song? It's an old song from more than 20 years ago."

"So what if the song is old? I just like it." Xiang Jiri was driving, his eyes straight ahead, just his index finger on the steering wheel, tapping the beat lightly to the rhythm of the music.

Lu Jingying held her breath for two red lights before she couldn't hold it back anymore and said, "I was the first one to hear this song."

"Yes, you would play this song as accompaniment when you practiced. I also fell in love with it after listening to it many times." Xiang Ji Ri admitted readily.

Hearing her say this, Lu Jingying was stunned. She murmured, "You remember everything."

She thought back to her teenage years when she was very proud and always won good places in competitions, until she met Xiang Jiri.

Xiang Ji Ri is better than her, but his experience was rough and difficult.

She had been in a car accident and the rehabilitation process was painful and torturous. Despite this, she worked hard to recover to her best condition and returned to the court.

People praised her strength, just like they were praising the plum blossoms blooming in a bitterly cold land, pure and noble, so the rich and gorgeous peony suddenly became vulgar.

But why do we need to compare? Whether it is the plum blossom or the peony, they are both working hard to bloom. The images they are given are not their own ideas. Why do we need to rank them?

This is what Xiang Jiri thinks. She doesn’t care about praise from others. She will always hold the billiard cue tightly for her love.

But Lu Jingying couldn't let it go as easily as she did. In her opinion, she was the one who was praised before, so why did Xiang Jiri suddenly appear and take her place?

She couldn't accept this and was always hostile towards Xiang Jiri - she wanted to take that position back.

Despite this, she had never considered trying to influence Xiang Jiri's condition by spreading rumors outside the arena like some people did.

She just wanted to defeat Xiang Jiri fairly and stand on the podium that belonged to her again.

However, she was not the one favored by fate.

When she was full of fighting spirit and wanted to prove herself to everyone through victory, she got into a car accident.

At first glance, her injuries were less serious than Xiang Jiri's, but she had injured more critical nerves and tendons, and her recovery was very slow.

When she finally got back on the court, her touch could not return to its peak, and her results became worse and worse. She was even described as "regrettable" in reports.

Why? They both suffered a car accident, but why was Xiang Ji Ri able to rise from the ashes and make further progress, while she could only leave with regret?

Why did fate favor Xiang Jiri, but not show her a bit of mercy and let her also get a miracle?

She did not admit, or was unwilling to admit, that she had lost to fate. She wanted to defeat Xiang Jiri.

It seemed that by doing this, she could prove to fate that she had not lost.

She had Lucas, and the child's excellence made her feel that this was another chance for her, and she could still win through the competition between the children.

However, when she was so eager to defeat Xiang Jiri, Xiang Jiri never regarded her as an enemy.

Even now, Xiang Jiri still remembers her past.

The dark past for Lu Jingying seemed to still retain a touch of brightness in Xiang Jiri's memories.

The car stopped and Xiang Jiri got out first. While Lu Jingying was unbuckling her seat belt, she helped her open the door and supported her from above: "Don't hit your head again."

Lu Jingying retorted: "How could it be possible that..."

Before she could finish her words, Xiang Jiri's fingers hit her head. Obviously, if Xiang Jiri hadn't blocked her, Lu Jingying would have hit the car door with her head.

Lu Jingying was speechless, while Xiang Jiri couldn't help laughing and said in a teasing tone, "How is it impossible?"

There was really no way to continue this topic! Lu Jingying simply stopped talking, got out of the car, and asked with a straight face, "Where is the restaurant?"

Let's just eat, and then go back quickly. Then she won't ride in Xiang Jiri's car anymore, it's simply incompatible with her!

Fortunately, the delicious lunch was enough to make Lu Jingying forget all the unpleasantness temporarily. Xiang Jiri still remembered her taste, but after living abroad for so many years, some things that she originally didn't like or dared not to eat, Lu Jingying could now eat.

Xiang Jiri commented: "It seems that you have a really hard life out there. In the past, whenever you saw a grain of minced garlic in a dish, you would skim it clean before eating it."

Lu Jingying rolled her eyes at her and didn't respond.

Xiang Jiri paused and asked, "Why did you go abroad in the first place?"

This question brought back Lu Jingying's memories. In fact, she didn't remember why she chose to go abroad. It was too long ago and even the cause had become vague in her mind.

Was it because she couldn't accept the views of the people at home and chose to escape, or was it because she heard that there were better rehabilitation teams abroad and she wanted to try again?

However, as a result, she had completely left the square pool table and could no longer imagine herself picking up the cue.

On the contrary, Xiang Jiri, even though she has retired now, still with the support of her husband, cooperated with others, opened a billiard club and became a coach.

"I don't remember. It's not an important thing anyway." Lu Jingying said in a light tone, "What's important is that I had a pretty good marriage. Even if we chose to divorce due to conflicts in our ideas after marriage, it was a good parting."

"More importantly, I have Lucas."

When talking about her children, Lu Jingying's expression softened.

Lucas is her hope, and she absolutely wants Lucas to have a different, better and happier life than hers.
