Back To the Past To Fall In Love

Chapter 44:

In the silent courtyard, this sentence exploded in his mind like a bomb, making Xu Ziran lose his comprehension ability.

WTF? What else could it be if it wasn’t a friend?

In shock, Mother Qiu said, “Do you know why Rourou came here to study high school? She could have gone to a better private middle school.”

Although Xu Ziran had heard Qiu Yurou say it last night, she still shook her head.

Mother Qiu said, “Because she was entangled by someone, girl—you understand, that kind of entanglement?”

Xu Ziran: “…” Then, what she thought yesterday was indeed right, it was really a routine of “if you like you, I will bully you”.

Qiu’s mother: “Rourou thought I didn’t know, but in fact, how could I not know. The other party’s parents also talked to me. After we were open and honest, we sent each other out of the country, so that this bad relationship could end soon.”

Xu Ziran couldn’t help clenching her fists, her fingernails embedded in her flesh, her face pretended to be calm: “Why did you tell me this?”

Mother Qiu looked at Xu Ziran’s face for a while, and said, “I just hope you can understand the reason why Rourou is sometimes too timid, otherwise, what else could it be?”

Xu Ziran nodded clearly: “Of course, I wouldn’t have thought about this at all.”

Mother Qiu put down the topic and said, “Look, what is missing between me and Rourou?”

Xu Ziran was still immersed in the topic just now, his mind was in chaos, and he could only say something casually: “It’s probably communication.”

In any case, 99% of parents and children have poor communication.

But Mother Qiu nodded as if she was taught, stood up straight, and said, “Thank you, Xu Ziran, I have learned a lesson today. I’ll leave now, and I’ll pick up Rourou tomorrow.”

Xu Ziran was annoyed and blurted out: “I can’t do it if I learn it.”

Mother Qiu glanced at Xu Ziran, didn’t speak, opened the door, and started the car.

Xu Ziran looked at Qiu’s mother’s car. The interior decoration was elegant and simple, and there was no sense of gender.

She suddenly thought of something and asked, “By the way, take the liberty to ask, where is your husband?” She remembered that Qiu Yurou’s family was complete, and there was no divorce or anything, but after these days, Qiu Yurou’s father had no sense of existence at all. Even if Qiu Yurou’s relationship with her mother is like this, when she signs her parents’ names, she still signs her mother’s name.

Where is Qiu Yurou’s father?

Mother Qiu was silent for a moment, then said, “You can consider me widowed.”

With that said, step on the accelerator and leave.

Xu Ziran was stunned, watching the car turn a corner, but couldn’t understand what the phrase “count me widowed” means.

After returning home, Xu Ziran told his parents about the situation, and Xu’s father and Xu’s mother naturally insisted that no matter how long Qiu Yurou stayed, it would be fine.

Qiu Yurou finally said that she would go back tomorrow.

Xu Ziran knew that even if she kept Qiu Yurou, the other party would not stay, so she didn’t say much, but when the two returned to the room, she still couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked, “Yurou, where’s your father?”

She looked at Qiu Yurou’s expression, saw that the other party was calm, and said, “Ah? Dad? I don’t know, I haven’t seen it for many years.”

…well…more…years…haven’t seen it?

What is this description?

Xu Ziran finally realized that because Father Qiu was busy with work, he often traveled outside, and he did not go home for many years.

Even if Xu Ziran has seen a strange family in the future, he has never seen such a strange family. He was dumbfounded for a while, and he couldn’t even say words of comfort.

Fortunately, Qiu Yurou didn’t care, since Qiu’s mother was defined as widowed, then Qiu Yurou was probably defined as bereaved of her father.

The two talked for a while and read the book for a while, then went back to bed and went to sleep.

Xu Ziran didn’t sleep soundly last night, but she fell asleep very quickly tonight, breathing lightly with her body up and down, the moonlight shining on her face, and her eyelashes passing over her eyelids, leaving light shadows under her eyelids.

Qiu Yurou stretched out her hand, first couldn’t help touching the other’s eyes, and then slid down the bridge of her nose, then gently stayed on the tip of her nose.

And her other hand couldn’t help holding the position of her heart, and then gradually tightened the clothes on her chest.

The heart is beating fast, but it seems to be different from the usual fast beating.

It brings a similar lack of oxygen, but not the usual palpitations and anxiety.

-why? what is it then? …What could it be?

Qiu Yurou thought that she had an indescribable longing for the person in front of her, and this longing was driving her and was about to control her.

So when she came back to her senses, she found herself approaching Xu Ziran and gently kissed the corner of his mouth.

After realizing this, Qiu Yurou stepped back abruptly and covered her mouth.

She kissed Xu Ziran.

She, she, she actually kissed…

Qiu Yurou tucked herself into the quilt, and tightly covered her face because she felt that she had done something very shameless…

…

When Xu Ziran was woken up by the system the next day, he was no longer in a state of confusion due to the constant “ding ding ding” that followed.

– Immediately stunned.

She didn’t even have time to look at Qiu Yurou, who was still asleep next to her. She opened the system panel first, and saw a huge pink window popping out of the center of the panel.

It says-

[Congratulations to the host for the breakthrough! ! 】

[Congratulations to the host for reaching the achievement of the heart! The intimacy meets the requirements, and the distance limit is lifted! 】

[The progress of the dungeon task is 80%, please make persistent efforts from the host]

Xu Ziran: “???”

Xu Ziran was dazed and confused.

what happened? System pumped? Upgraded? Conscience found out?

She didn’t do anything, why did she make a breakthrough when she woke up? Is intimacy enough to lift distance restrictions?

Xu Ziran opened the task panel, and was blinded by the reward brought by that breakthrough.

! ! ! 20000! !

Is this what it feels like to drop a pie from the sky?

Is this what it feels like to buy a lottery ticket just to exchange change and win the jackpot?

Is this the feeling of picking up a bag of hundred-yuan bills on the road?

Xu Ziran felt for a while that he must be still dreaming, so he reached out and pinched his thigh.

Ouch, it hurts.

Because the pinching was too hard, she couldn’t help taking a breath of cold air, while Qiu Yurou said, “Cumin, what’s the matter with you.”

Xu Ziran looked empty: “…I feel like I’m still dreaming.”

Qiu Yurou put her hand on Xu Ziran’s forehead and asked worriedly, “Are you sick again?”

Qiu Yurou’s cool and soft palm made Xu Ziran finally return to reality. She first turned off the system panel, looked at Qiu Yurou in front of her, and found that the other party seemed a little haggard. Specifically, there were dark circles under her eyes.

Xu Ziran thought that it might be because Qiu Yurou’s heart was still entangled with Qiu’s mother yesterday, so she didn’t sleep well at night.

She couldn’t bear to mention this matter, and stopped thinking about the system first, she straightened up from the bed and said, “It’s alright, it’s just a dream and a circle, and now she’s awake.”

As she said this, she smiled at Qiu Yurou as usual, and saw that Qiu Yurou’s face quickly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, until it reached the base of her neck.

Xu Ziran: “…” What happened? Has the world changed so much overnight?

Xu Ziran watched Qiu Yurou blushing and lowered her head, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, then walked into the toilet without a glance, and then the sound of splashing water on her face came from the toilet.

And then, Qiu Yurou behaved even more strangely. Not only did she dare not look directly at Xu Ziran, she even blushes when she touches Xu Ziran’s eyes. Xu Ziran thought for a long time and felt that this performance could only be embarrassment, so she thought, could it be—

Qiu Yurou began to feel embarrassed that she told her so many secrets?

Thinking of this, Xu Ziran felt that her analysis was very reasonable, because from before to now, it seems that Qiu Yurou has been revealing her heart and secrets, but she does not share secrets with Qiu Yurou very much.

But her biggest secret is rebirth. It’s hard to tell. As for other secrets, when she is nearly thirty years old, I really don’t think there are any secrets worth mentioning before the age of fifteen.

So, what is more appropriate to say? Xu Ziran began to rack his brains to think of a secret worth mentioning.

The two of them ate their breakfasts each in a ruthless way, went to school together, and started running.

The process is obviously the same as usual, but Xu Ziran feels that there is something wrong.

When the two of them finished running and started to walk quickly, Xu Ziran finally said according to the original plan: “Ah, it seems that I have never talked about me, let me tell you.”

She imagined that Qiu Yurou should also be interested in her affairs, but when the other party’s eyes were shining brightly at her, she still couldn’t help but think that Qiu Yurou was a little… overjoyed?

Being so happy, Qiu Yurou made her feel the pressure of mystery. She bit the bullet and said the shameful things about the old sesame and rotten millet when she was a child. “And then what?”

When he saw that it was almost time to go back to the classroom for self-study, he showed obvious disappointment.

Such Qiu Yurou seems to be more shy and enthusiastic than before, with contradictions and harmony, making Xu Ziran find that when facing such Qiu Yurou, he can’t help but be different from usual.

…but she still can’t figure it out, what’s going on? ? ?
