Chapter 22: What Was She Hiding from


    The moment when Jane jumped down, Quincy rushed over. Without thinking, he also jumped into the


    water.


    Fortunately, Quincy could swim. He grabbed Jane''s clothes and tried his best to swim towards the


    shore.


    "What are you doing? Let me die!" Quincy grabbed Jane. Jane wanted to break free from Quincy''s


    hand, but Quincy would not let go once he grabbed her. In the end, with great effort, Quincy finally


    pulled Jane back to the shore safely.


    "Why did you save me? Why didn''t you let me die?" Jane sat on the grass beside theke and said


    sadly.


    Jane was wet, and her clothes were tightly pasted on her body, outlining her delicate body, making her


    look exceptionally pitiful.


    "Why did I save you?" Quincy calmed down. He really couldn''t understand Jane''s actions and thoughts.


    "You canmit suicide. But have you ever thought about your parents? Who will support them in the


    future? The country has nurtured you for so many years. In the end, is this how you repay the society?


    You are such an idiot!"


    Quincy wanted to awaken Jane''s desire for survival!


    Hearing Quincy''s words, Jane was shocked. She hugged her knees and wasn''t as excited as before.


    "You said that you weren''t even afraid of death. Why don''t you have the courage to live?" Quincy''s


    attitude softened.


    Jane looked up at Quincy with her big watery eyes.


    Her eyes shone brightly. It looked so heartbreaking. Quincy suddenly had a feeling that this weak girl


    was not what he had imagined.


    "If I can survive, I will not choose to die." Jane''s tone was filled with helplessness.


    Quincy enthusiastically asked, "If you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me. Perhaps I can help


    you."


    Looking at Quincy''s sincere gaze, Jane felt that he really wanted to help her. A warmth rose in the


    depths of her heart. She feltfortable.


    "You can''t help me." Thinking of her own situation, Jane''s heart cooled down again.


    "Just tell me. Trust me. I will definitely be able to help you!" Wasn''t it easy for Quincy, a rich kid to help


    her?


    "Thanks. I''m really grateful that you have such thoughts!" Jane smiled faintly. She felt that this stranger


    in front of her was so nice.


    "Alright." Quincy sighed and said seriously, "However, I hope you can promise me that you won''t do


    such a foolish thing again."


    "I promise," Jane said.


    Only then did Quincy feel relieved. He pulled Jane up from the ground and said, "Oh right, you

    shouldn''t buy such expensive food in the future. You can''t afford it."


    Jane blushed and looked down slightly. She tugged at the corner of her clothes with both hands and


    whispered, "Actually, I don''t eat more than 10 yuan a day. Today, I thought it was my final day this


    world, so I took the courage to order seafood rice at Good Food...."


    Hearing Jane''s soft voice, Quincy couldn''t help but relent. "Then why did you order two?"


    "I think that 200 yuan for a meal is too extravagant for me. In order to feel better, I haven''t eaten for the


    past two days. I''m very hungry, so I ordered two." Jane''s voice became softer and softer.


    "So that''s what it is?" Looking at Jane who was embarrassed, Quincy felt that she was cute.


    "Come here!" Jane pulled Quincy and walked back to the stone where the seafood rice was ced.


    She smiled warmly at Quincy, then picked up a box of seafood rice and brought it to Quincy. "Here you


    are."


    "No need. Aren''t you hungry?" Quincy rejected.


    Jane raised her chin and said, "You can eat it. I just knew that I could only eat a bowl of rice for one


    meal. I''m already full now."


    "Alright then." Quincy took the lunch box and sat down on the stone to eat.


    Quincy ate and Jane watched him. He felt a bit embarrassed, "Take a seat."


    "Alright." Jane sat beside Quincy. Quincy had put in a lot of effort just now. He was hungry. He enjoyed


    the food and he didn''t know that the grains of cooked rice stuck to his face. Jane helped Quincy take


    them off. Quincy was shocked, and he had a strange feeling in his heart, "Thank you."


    Quincy and Jane chatted while he was eating. Only then did Quincy know that Jane had knelt down to


    his mother in his hometown in the Northeast, asking her to forgive him for being unfilial.


    Quincy finished his meal quickly. There was something special between them.


    "Well, can I meet you at this time tomorrow?" Quincy scratched his head and said embarrassedly.


    Jane impressed Qunicy. He felt the urge in his heart to protect this girl. If he didn''t see her in the future,


    Quincy would feel empty.


    Jane did not expect that Quincy would ask such a question. There were bright pink patches on her


    cheeks.


    "Yes." Jane listened to her own heart.


    The next day, as soon as Quincy finished his ss, he arrived at Redby Lake at noon.


    Sure enough, he saw a delicate figure sitting on the stone.


    Quincy was excited as he walked over step by step.


    Jane heard Quincy''s footsteps and turned around. She held a red and yellow stic bag in her hand.


    She stood up and extended the stic bag to Quincy, "Here you are."


    Quincy was surprised. He took the stic bag. They were peaches, plums, apricots. And there were


    water droplets on it. However, none of them wasplete.


    "These fruits you bought for me are too expensive. Don''t buy it for me anymore," Quincy said. Quincy


    was deeply moved. He knew that to others, the fruit could be the most ordinary food, but to Jane,


    eating fruit was a luxury thing.


    Jane said unconfidently, "You can eat them. They are not expensive. I bought all the seasonal fruits.


    Furthermore, they were left over from someone else''s selection. The owner sold them to me at half


    price. I cleaned them up and dug out the broken parts for you. I hope you can like it."


    "Why do I dislike it?" Quincy was shocked by Jane''s thoughts. She saved up money to buy fruit for


    Quincy, and cared so much about his thoughts.


    Quincy picked up a peach and stuffed it into his mouth. The juice sshed everywhere, "It''s delicious!"


    "Here you are. This peach is really sweet!" Quincy picked up a peach and handed it to Jane.


    Jane watched Quincy eat happily. She smiled sweetly, and put the peach into her mouth.


    For the next few days, Quincy and Jane would meet at theke every afternoon.


    Every time Quincy came, he would take the food from the cafeteria and eat with Jane. Jane did not


    refuse.


    Of course, Quincy ordered the most ordinary dishes. He didn''t want Jane to know his identity yet, but


    he liked the current state.


    Quincy packed a portion of green vegetables and tofu, and a portion of stewed vegetables to Redby


    Lake.


    Strangely, Jane wasn''t here today. Normally, Jane would havee early.


    Perhaps something took her time today.


    Quincy sat leisurely on the stone. Jane had never eaten a decent meal before, so she would definitely


    be happy to have meal in the best restaurant in JM City.


    Quincy sat on the stone and waited for 20 minutes. Before Jane came, the food was about to get cold.


    Quincy took out his phone and called her.


    "Jane, where are you now?"


    "Ah ... I''m sorry, Quincy, I can''te over today." Jane''s voice came from his phone. "Our ss is


    doing experiments in theboratory building now. I can''t leave. You can eat by yourself." After saying


    that, Jane hung up the phone.


    "Hey ... hey...." Quincy looked at his phone and felt strange. He pped his forehead. Jane couldn''t


    Quincy carried the food and quickly walked towards theboratory building.


    After arriving at theboratory building, Quincy called Jane. He asked whichboratory Jane was in.


    Jane stammered, "Ah ... you went to theboratory building ... But I''m leaving the building now. You


    can eat it yourself. You don''t need to worry about me anymore...."


    When Quincy asked Jane where he was, Jane hung up the phone.


    Quincy had a bad premonition. Was Jane hiding something from him? Quincy became more and more


    uneasy. He ran out of theboratory building and casually threw the food into the trash. Then, he began


    to look for Jane wherever she might go.


    The cafeteria, the supermarket, the hot water room ... Quincy had found all the ces where she might


    go, but he didn''t find her out. Furthermore, she didn''t answer his phone.


    Quincy was helpless. His heart was as uneasy as a ball of wool messed up by a kitten. His heart was in


    a mess.


    Quincy walked into the yground dejectedly, sat down on the grass, and looked at the people jogging


    on the track absentmindedly.


    Quincy''s eyes lit up. He saw a small figure sitting in the corner of the grandstand. If it wasn''t Jane, then


    who was she?


    Quincy had a feeling that he got it back. He stood up and rushed towards Jane.


    "Jane, why didn''t you answer my call...?" Quincy walked to Jane and asked her. Quincy had a trace of


    Jane''s face was ck and blue, and her eyes were swollen. Jane beautiful little face was now


    scratched and bruised!
