Back To the Past To Fall In Love

Chapter 73:

Qiu Yurou didn’t speak any more.

The night wind was blowing against the security window outside the window, making it suspicious that something was about to break in.

In the quiet, dark room, only the slight ups and downs of breathing.

Xu Ziran still said: “I’m sorry, but I will always be by your side as your best friend.”

After she said this, she realized what she had said.

So she felt that what she said was really disgusting, but found that she still didn’t know what Qiu Yurou was talking about.

It was difficult for her to have formed thoughts in her mind, so all that was left was the surging tide, all of Qiu Yurou’s previous words swept through the tide and slapped her face head on.

There seemed to be more powerful waves after that, so much so that she was terrified.

When Xu Ziran didn’t understand what Qiu Yurou wanted to say, Qiu Yurou understood what Xu Ziran meant.

– Don’t talk about it.

-So be it.

She still didn’t want to, and said the words herself.

She must have guessed the emotion she wanted to express. Xu Ziran is so smart, how could she not guess.

Qiu Yurou stopped talking.

She still remembered that during those three days, she listened to all the words poured out by Liu Yizhen and wished she would die immediately.

Words full of sincerity may not be able to move people, and may even be a poison that makes people feel hopeless. Qiu Yurou knows this better than anyone.

Maybe Xu Ziran is not like himself, but that is because Xu Ziran is different from himself and has a stronger heart, not because such a one-sided confession can be tolerated.

Qiu Yurou hugged her knees, knocked her chin on her knees, and closed her eyes.

Her heartbeat gradually calmed down, and her thoughts gradually calmed down.

She said, “I’ve forgotten.”

“what?”

“As if nothing happened.”

As if nothing had happened.

This is the most reassuring, yet easily empty sentence.

In the lingering sorrow that spreads endlessly like clouds and mist, the system reminded—

[Dear host, congratulations on completing the early exploration mission of the dungeon “The Hesitation of the Target Character”, life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what the next one you get will be. (The ability value is 6000, the intelligence value is 30, and the special copy key is obtained)]

【Dear host, your lifestyle is very unhealthy and more improvements are necessary. 】

Xu Ziran entered the punishment space again.

This time it should be a combination of several crimes, because the previous day even the forced hibernation of the system did not let her fall asleep.

This incident made her realize that the system may not be above her, and her emotional fluctuations can still eliminate the influence of the system. This is indeed a service system.

So for a while, she began to suspect that she was Huang Liangyimeng.

If it wasn’t his own dream, why would he encounter such a fortune?

However, today was probably the time when her brain had reached a critical point, so after the forced sleep was successful, she entered the punishment space.

This time the battle was much bigger than last time, and there was a piece of equipment in front of her that she didn’t know much about—in fact, judging from Xu Ziran’s superficial scientific knowledge, it was a bit like equipment for nuclear magnetic resonance, while NPCs Qiu Yurou stood in front of the equipment and said with a serious face, “Lay in.”

Xu Ziran: “…” What’s the matter with the general appearance of a terminally ill test?

In this case, Xu Ziran couldn’t do anything to resist, so he obediently lay in, and suddenly felt like he was being squeezed by something.

This feeling of squeezing is not strong, and even considered comfortable, so that although Xu Ziran didn’t know what state he was in, he gradually fell into a half-dream and half-awake.

When the equipment under her body vibrated again, Xu Ziran also regained consciousness. She moved out of the equipment and heard NPC Qiu Yurou say, “There is no particular problem.”

Xu Ziran: “…” Of course there is no problem.

She straightened up from the device, then sat cross-legged on it, looking at Qiu Yurou who was writing something down in the notebook.

It was about the time when I saw the sixteen-year-old Qiu Yurou just now, so when I saw the adult version of Qiu Yurou now, the feeling of time travel was particularly serious.

So very unreal.

She looked at Qiu Yurou’s face, looked at the other party’s serious writing and had an expressionless face, and didn’t know what kind of nerves were in her mind, she couldn’t help but said, “Do you like me?”

Qiu Yurou was still recording stroke by stroke, but she didn’t know if it was Xu Ziran’s illusion, and her movements were getting slower and slower.

Xu Ziran quickly knew that this was not an illusion, she finally stopped completely and turned her eyes to Xu Ziran.

There seemed to be a radiance in his eyes.

Xu Ziran stopped breathing, feeling uneasy as if his heart was clenched tightly.

No way…

She looked at Qiu Yurou, and Qiu Yurou looked at her, and finally said—

“Out of authority, no answer.”

Xu Ziran: “…”

Xu Ziran returned to reality after another psychological consultation, which he didn’t know if it was helpful or not.

There was no Qiu Yurou’s figure on the bed next door, and there was a faint sound of water in the bathroom.

Xu Ziran sighed and pressed the back of his hand on his forehead.

She was so depressed, Qiu Yurou came out of the bathroom neatly dressed, and when she saw that Xu Ziran was awake, she said, “The teacher estimates that we will be assembled soon, so you should get up too.”

This reminder is really normal, and it is no different from talking to ordinary classmates.

Xu Ziran’s heart was suddenly empty, but he pretended to be calm and said, “Okay, I see.”

Everything seems to have really returned to normal, and there really is no such thing.

In the next two weeks, Xu Ziran came to the capital again to solve some technical problems of social networking sites, while Shen Feiyao took a period of leave to travel with Qiu Yurou to relax.

Fan Yijia temporarily lived in the capital in order to prepare for the exam, and Luo Feifei also stayed in the capital. While busy with some work, she was mixing oil with Fan Yijia. The love and career were the same, but in late August and early September, The two broke up again.

At that time, Xu Ziran was about to go home, but it was delayed for a few days because of the crying Fan Yijia, and she finally came home with a sigh of relief until the two got back together.

When it was time to go home, Qiu’s father and Qiu’s mother prepared a large table of dishes for her. Because there was too much cooking, they simply called Tian Jiaqi’s family next door, and everyone had a lively meal.

When Xu Ziran was full of food and drink, Xu Ziran was about to leave, Mother Xu said, “By the way, Qiu Yurou has been here a few days ago, but you haven’t been there. I don’t know why you didn’t come today, do you want to call and ask? ask.”

Xu Ziran was stunned when she heard the words, and seemed to be able to imagine the situation where the other party had been waiting for her because she thought she would come back a few days ago.

A long time has passed, and she has been busy, but the scene of that day has become clearer and clearer in her mind for some reason, even in her dreams.

Xu Ziran made some mental preparations, and finally made a phone call.

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. Xu Ziran hung up the phone, walked slowly to the edge of the stairs, sat at the entrance of the stairs, and picked up the phone.

The cursor moved up and down in the address book for a long time, and finally pressed dial. This time it only rang twice, and the call was connected.

Qiu Yurou’s voice came with a slight electric noise: “Hey, Cumin, are you back?”

Xu Ziran pursed her lips and made her voice comfortable: “Well, yes, I’m back.”

Qiu Yurou felt a little regretful: “I didn’t expect to be back today, I happened to be outside today, and there was a banquet at my relative’s house.”

Xu Ziran said, “School is about to start anyway, so we can meet soon.”

Qiu Yurou paused and said, “School starts the day after tomorrow.”

Xu Ziran made a sound of “um”.

Qiu Yurou said: “Then, see you at the beginning of school.”

After a brief greeting, the phone hangs up.

Xu Ziran let out a long sigh of relief and lay down on the stairs.

She told herself in her heart: This is the right way, and this is good for them.

Relationships should be talked about when they are more mature. For them now, everything is still too early.

Tian Jiaqi secretly looked at Xu Ziran with a heavy face from the corner.

It was the first time she saw Xu Ziran show such an expression.

Thinking about it carefully, she had previously doubted whether Xu Ziran’s love for Qiu Yurou was true or false, but now it seems that it is indeed true.

In the end, she did not go out to comfort Xu Ziran, but stayed where she was, thinking.

…

On the day of school, Xu Ziran arrived at the playground early again.

Her morning jogging mission has always continued, but now more often, there is no Qiu Yurou by her side.

It should be because of the first day of school, there was no one on the playground, Xu Ziran ran down in circles, and countless memories belonging to her and Qiu Yurou kept appearing in her mind.

Both present and future.

Thinking about it carefully, at that time, why did she ask the NPC Qiu Yurou the question “Do you like me?”.

The reason doesn’t seem to be because she was carried away by the previous conversation with Qiu Yurou, but she suddenly realized whether the future Qiu Yurou also has different feelings for her.

At least, have you ever had a different feeling?

She once felt that she and Qiu Yurou were simply soul friends whom she met too late, because when chatting with many people, it was inevitable that there would be dry, boring and embarrassing moments, but never when chatting with Qiu Yurou.

Logically speaking, the other party was busy and stressed in his career, and he was in a completely different direction from Xu Ziran, but Xu Ziran had never felt left out.

Relaxed and laid back.

Appropriate and intimate.

Everything seems to be compatible, as the joke says “a natural couple”.

But now that I think about it, there has never been such a so-called “natural couple”, and the ease and joy she feels is because Qiu Yurou is trying to make herself more suitable for her.

She has been being accommodated all the time, and the other party is too smart and too secretive, and she never finds out.

However, it may be his own delusion.

She might have been so confused by the sudden shock that she couldn’t look at these things in a more ordinary way.

Xu Ziran slowly slowed down, preparing to go to the side to do stretching exercises.

She raised her head and saw Qiu Yurou standing aside, looking at her from a distance.

The other party seemed to be tanned and thinner, and more importantly, cut his hair short.

This never-before-seen image made Xu Ziran forget to say hello immediately.

She looked at this Qiu Yurou, who could almost be said to be brand new in her impression, and waved at her with a smile.
