Back To the Past To Fall In Love

Chapter 42:

Qiu Yurou blinked and looked at Xu Ziran. This time her face was not red, she just raised her eyes and looked at Xu Ziran in a daze.

Xu Ziran suddenly realized that there was some ambiguity in what he said, and added: “Aunt Chen also likes you very much, and Jiaqi Zhang Xuan and Cheng Haoyan must also like you.”

Qiu Yurou lowered her head again, her expression could not show whether she was happy or not, and she was generally indifferent.

Xu Ziran was inexplicably flustered and didn’t know what to say. After looking at the time, he said, “Let’s go to bed, and get up early tomorrow.”

Because Xu Ziran’s bed is not big, putting a quilt on it will be a bit crowded. Xu Ziran thought it was okay to cover a quilt, but now he is still inexplicably hesitant, and subconsciously asked: “Do you want me to get another quilt?”

Qiu Yurou looked at the bed and said, “No need.”

She asked again: “Where is the switch, I went to turn it off.”

Only then did Xu Ziran remember that he didn’t turn off the light, and he actually needed the guests to turn off the light, but it was not interesting to be polite at the moment, so he said, “Just the switch at the door.”

Qiu Yurou walked over and turned off the light.

The room suddenly fell into darkness.

It takes a while for human eyes to get used to such darkness, so Qiu Yurou reached the edge of the bed with a general impression when she could not see her fingers, and then bent down to touch the edge of the bed.

Instead of touching the edge of the bed all at once, she first touched something soft and warm.

She withdrew her hand suddenly, realizing that she seemed to have touched Xu Ziran’s shoulder.

The smooth touch still stayed on the fingertips, and soon it became like a fire spreading from the fingertips, like a beating heart, echoing with the one in the chest, and beating far away.

She stopped at the head of the bed and heard Xu Ziran say, “Go to bed, can’t you see?”

Having said that, Qiu Yurou heard a rustling sound, Xu Ziran probably straightened up from the bed, and then a hand reached out and touched her arm.

It was like a feather gliding softly, Xu Ziran didn’t hold it tightly, but just put it on her arm to guide her, but Qiu Yurou couldn’t stop her from holding the other hand.

Xu Ziran noticed that her arm was being held, and was stunned for a moment, then she pulled Qiu Yurou over with all her strength.

Until she felt Qiu Yurou sitting on the bed, lifted the quilt and got in, and then slowly released the hand that was holding her.

The eyeballs gradually adapted to the darkness in front of them, and there were blurred outlines from the original darkness.

After a rustling sound, both of them lay down, Xu Ziran slept in it, habitually lying on the right side, facing Qiu Yurou, and saw that she was lying on her back and she was up and down with her breathing.

Xu Ziran swallowed inexplicably, her fingers seemed to touch Qiu Yurou’s long hair spread out, all the senses were magnified in the darkness, Xu Ziran unconsciously wrapped her hair with her fingers, and quickly released it after realizing that she had done so. , I wondered if Qiu Yurou was aware of it or not.

Of course Qiu Yurou noticed it. After Xu Ziran let go, Qiu Yurou suddenly asked, “Are you playing with my hair?”

The sound that suddenly sounded in the silent room was as refreshing as a clear spring in the valley. Xu Ziran put his hand behind him and said embarrassedly, “I touched it by accident.”

Qiu Yurou turned around suddenly, she was lying on her right side, and she faced Xu Ziran, her eyes adapted to the darkness, and through the faint moonlight through the gap in the curtains, she could see the silhouette of the other person’s face blurred by the night.

Xu Ziran took a breath and didn’t know what to do for a moment, but fortunately Qiu Yurou quickly changed her posture and turned around.

In the darkness, there seemed to be an ambiguous light fragrance floating from nowhere. Xu Ziran felt that his current mood was a bit wrong, so he secretly wondered if it was because he hadn’t shared a bed with others for too long.

The last time you slept in the same bed with someone else, it must have been a matter of college in your previous life, right?

She diverted her attention in a random thought, suddenly remembered something, and opened the system panel to see the task.

I don’t know when, there was actually a new mission in the ongoing mission—

[The night was long, but drowsiness couldn’t come. While tossing and turning, she waited to talk about her doubts, dear host, shouldn’t you speak first at this time? (ability value 10, experience value 10)]

Xu Ziran: “…” What the hell, there seems to be a plot.

But after being speechless, she thought, if the system reminded her like this, does it prove that it is possible to try to ask Qiu Yurou what happened before?

After thinking about it, she stretched out her hand, put it on Qiu Yurou’s shoulder, and said softly, “Yurou, why do you say everyone hates you?”

Qiu Yurou’s back trembled slightly, but she didn’t speak.

After a long silence, just when Xu Ziran thought that Qiu Yurou would not speak anymore, Qiu Yurou finally said, “It seems to have started from the first day of junior high, when I was hated by someone…”

Because of Qiu Yurou’s words, Xu Ziran set off a storm in his mind.

She never thought that she didn’t know Qiu Yurou more than she thought.

“…I don’t know what that person said to others. No one has spoken to me since then. At first, I just didn’t speak. Later, it developed into talking about me in person or in private. I started to want to explain, but found an explanation later. It doesn’t make any sense at all, so I don’t speak…”

“…until she was sent abroad by her parents after graduating from high school, and I also left the campus where I was before and came here to study…”

When Xu Ziran heard this, he asked, “He is three years older than us?”

Qiu Yurou had turned around at some point, buried her normal face in the quilt and said, “Yes, three years older.”

“Then he is too rude, how did you know each other, and why does he hate you?”

Qiu Yurou shrank even lower into the quilt: “In the beginning, I seemed to think that I had good grades and ignored others.”

Xu Ziran couldn’t believe it: “What does it have to do with your good grades and ignoring others? You are not in the same class.”

“I don’t know, but I also did her homework at that time, so she asked me to help her with the questions…”

Xu Ziran suddenly thought of something, she was thinking, although this kind of thing is inexplicable in the eyes of adults, but among high school students and junior high school students, there seems to be that kind of “bullying you because you like you” thought.

So she hesitated for a while, but couldn’t help but ask, “He doesn’t like you, does he?”

Qiu Yurou was silent for a moment.

Then she whispered, “It’s not like this—”

“She’s a girl.”

Xu Ziran: “…”

What is the reason for the sudden stagnation of the atmosphere?

– Girls may also like you. This sentence was stuck in his throat and did not come out, and why?

Xu Ziran thought that it was probably because Qiu Yurou’s eyes and tone that she was about to cry in the dark made her feel that she didn’t need to worry about any ghost tasks.

Xu Ziran stretched out his hand and hugged Qiu Yurou firmly across the quilt.

“It will never happen again, never again.”

The warm breath sprinkled on her ears, bringing an incredible sense of security. Qiu Yurou smelled Xu Ziran’s body, and unknowingly fell into a dark and sweet sleep.

And Xu Ziran didn’t know when she fell asleep. She was half asleep and half awake. The system’s morning alarm clock rang again. She opened her eyes and saw that Qiu Yurou was no longer in bed.

She raised her head and saw Qiu Yurou reading a book in front of the desk.

In the hazy light, the other party’s drooping hair was caught behind his ears, revealing his smooth cheeks and slender neck.

Perhaps this scene was too quiet and beautiful, and Xu Ziran forgot what she was about to say for a while, and fell into silence.

Xu Ziran watched for a while, and when the system reminded him to get up again, he quickly got up from the bed.

When Qiu Yurou saw Xu Ziran get up, she put away the book and started combing her hair.

In an incredible harmony, the two finished everything and went downstairs for breakfast.

After breakfast, when they were about to go to school, the two ran into trouble.

Because Qiu Yurou ran out of the house yesterday, she didn’t ride a bicycle at all, so now the two of them only have one bicycle.

After thinking for a while in front of the bicycle, Qiu Yurou said, “I’ll take you by bike.”

Xu Ziran said, “Why is this so embarrassing.”

She still had a feeling in her heart that she was an adult and the other party was underage, so she felt that it was a bit strange for Qiu Yurou to take her.

Qiu Yurou glanced at her and hesitated, “But you can’t take me with you?”

Xu Ziran: “…Who said that!”

Out of defense of Mystery’s self-esteem, Xu Ziran took Qiu Yurou all the way, but then because she was too tired, her tired stomach started to hurt, so she had to give up and let Qiu Yurou lead her instead.

Qiu Yurou took her as if there were no obstacles. The two of them reached the school all the way, and after parking the car, Xu Ziran said, “I’m quite tired today, so I’d better not run.”

Qiu Yurou nodded in agreement.

Xu Ziran looked at the sports students in the morning training on the playground and said, “Since we also have a club classroom, let’s go to club activities in the morning.”

Qiu Yurou laughed.

Unlike the previous smiles that were either gentle or shy or embarrassed, this smile lit up her whole face, a real, cheerful smile.

The two drew for a while on the blackboard in the club classroom, and then sat on the chairs to practice spoken English with each other. When the class time came, they went to the classroom together.

And as soon as she entered the classroom, Tian Jiaqi rushed over and said, “Did you sleep together yesterday?”

Xu Ziran twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking that he was probably too dirty, so he felt that there was something wrong with this sentence.

Just like Qiu Yurou, she said very simply and normally: “Yes, I slept at Cumin’s house yesterday.”

Tian Jiaqi pouted and said to Xu Ziran a little unhappily, “Don’t you like sleeping with others?”

After she said this, she suddenly remembered something, and suddenly realized “Oh~” and said, “Oh, too, there is no way to do this.”

Xu Ziran: “…”

“What can’t be done?” Zhang Xuan ran over and asked.

Tian Jiaqi shook her head and sighed: “Child, you don’t understand.”

Zhang Xuan: “Are you younger than me!”

Xu Ziran: “…”

The topic was diverted in this way, and everyone returned to their seats as the morning self-study bell started, and two classes later, Xu Ziran saw Qiu Yurou’s mother appear at the door of the classroom.
