26. Run-in changes
When Xu Ziran naturally woke up at six o'clock the next day, her first reaction was to think that this system had a benefit, and it actually adjusted her hopelessly healthy biological clock.
But she didn't get up immediately, but looked at the ceiling in a daze.
She felt as if she had a dream last night.
It's not a good dream, so much so that when I get up in the morning, I'm covered in a cold sweat, and I'm not happy.
She looked at the two quilts on the bed and came to the conclusion that she was too thick.
After thinking of a reasonable reason, Xu Ziran turned over and got up, went downstairs in his pajamas and poured some hot water to drink.
I don't know if it's because the nightmare consumes too much energy, Xu Ziran felt very hungry, she rummaged through the refrigerator and cabinets for a while, and finally cooked some dried noodles and fried a poached egg.
When cooking noodles, Xu Ziran tried to think about the dream he had last night, and after he didn't think about it, he looked up and wanted to look at the scenery outside the window.
Then she was so frightened that she almost flipped over.
Tian Jiaqi opened the window and was looking inside, probably because she was discovered, she bent her eyes and smiled, like Xu Ziran waved her hand.
Xu Ziran: "......"
When Xu Ziran pulled Tian Jiaqi in, he pinched her hand by the way, and found that his palm was cold, so he said: "Why are you freezing outside in broad daylight." ”
Tian Jiaqi wrinkled her nose, pulled her hand back and stuffed it into her pocket, looked at the kitchen with her eyes dripping, and said, "Cumin, you can cook, you can get married." ”
Xu Ziran knew that Tian Jiaqi was joking when he said this now, but he didn't know if it was because the other party didn't say this kind of thing many times in the future, Xu Ziran felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it, so he replied coldly: "I didn't learn to cook to get married." ”
Tian Jiaqi sensed Xu Ziran's unhappiness, although she didn't figure out why, she still said: "It's the same." ”
Xu Ziran glanced at Tian Jiaqi, the other party was wearing a lemon yellow coat with lace to the knees, but wearing a pair of loose slacks, which looked spicy to the eyes.
But even such a dress, because of the pressure of a young and beautiful face, is actually acceptable.
Tian Jiaqi is a short haircut, this is because she and Xu Ziran are not allowed to have long hair in junior high school, and after going to high school, Xu Ziran gradually began to grow long hair, so that her hair has grown to the point where she is now over her ears, but Tian Jiaqi has always had short hair that shows her ears.
But such short hair does not look like a boy at all, but makes her more delicate and delicate, with big eyes with single eyelids like a clear pool of autumn water, and thin eyebrows are gentle and well-behaved.
So what Xu Ziran didn't understand ten years later, in addition to Tian Jiaqi becoming like that for a man, and why she cut her double eyelids.
She felt that Tian Jiaqi was beautiful enough, and Tian Jiaqi knew that she was beautiful.
The boys who like Tian Jiaqi since junior high school are like carp crossing the river, even if Tian Jiaqi doesn't do anything but walk around in front of them, they come over one after another to worship her pomegranate skirt.
Tian Jiaqi has always had the consciousness of a beautiful girl, and she has never been unconfident.
Tian Jiaqi didn't know that Xu Ziran's thoughts were tumbling in her head, she walked to the kitchen and looked at the pot, then turned around and said, "I didn't eat breakfast either?" Can you make me one too? ”
When the other party can be coquettish, the voice is sweet but not greasy, even if you are a hard-hearted person, you should can't help but want to compromise.
Xu Ziran compromised.
She gave Tian Jiaqi the noodles and eggs that she had boiled at the beginning, and cooked another one herself.
The other party is not the woman who can't understand what she is thinking ten years later, but a fifteen-year-old girl, and there is really nothing to be angry about.
Xu Ziran knew that she was not angry with Tian Jiaqi, she was just fighting with her own standards.
Tian Jiaqi seemed to be really hungry, so she took a breath and ate half of it, only then slowed down a little, raised her head and said, "Auntie told me that you got up very early now, and it's true." ”
Xu Ziran let out a "hmm" and said, "What about you, what are you doing so early?" ”
Tian Jiaqi said: "Isn't it obvious, of course I'm here to block you." ”
Xu Ziran laughed, his smile was a bit like funny, and it was also a little like a bitter smile.
Tian Jiaqi is sometimes very direct, and it is this directness that Xu Ziran used to appreciate.
Let Qiu Yurou's mind be delicate and turn a thousand times, it is easy to be defined by Xu Ziran as twisting and pinching at once, Xu Ziran feels that no matter what she does, it is best to be cheerful.
But then she finally knew that looking refreshing and really refreshing were two completely different things.
Xu Ziran's noodles were also familiar, and while she was serving them, she said lukewarmly: "Oh." ”
She didn't know how to face the current Tian Jiaqi, so she unconsciously used the way she would get along with unfamiliar people in the future, some of them were like leaving, and some of them were condescending.
This attitude is not pleasant, and it can easily scare off some people who want to please her face but are not thick enough.
However, Tian Jiaqi is not one of those people.
She came to reconcile sincerely, a high school girl, who came to ask for reconciliation, actually had enough courage, and now when she encounters the cold nails that adults are used to, she is suddenly a little injured.
In the past, Tian Jiaqi and Xu Ziran had a cold war, as long as his attitude softened, Xu Ziran would reconcile with himself, but why was he so cold and hard this time?
She felt sad in her heart, but she was reluctant to leave, and always felt that if she left today, she might really have to go further and further away from Xu Ziran.
She went home these days and thought about it, and she also felt that she was indeed wrong, and it was really bad to say bad things about others behind her back.
But she felt that she would have said such things before, and she would not have been so angry before, but this time Xu Ziran was so angry, is there any other reason?
For example, because the person she said was Qiu Yurou?
In Tian Jiaqi's opinion, this reason is more difficult to accept than the disagreement between the two people, and it is more likely, she has always thought that she and Xu Ziran are best friends and the most special relationship, and now there is a person in the middle, how can she be willing.
She bit her lip, ate the noodles quietly, and when she saw Xu Ziran coming to collect the dishes, she volunteered: "Or I'll wash the dishes." ”
Xu Ziran shook his head, and was about to speak, when he suddenly got stuck.
Because an option appeared in front of her eyes.
[Dear host, do you choose a new character to become the second target when you feel that the interaction value and intimacy with the fixed character are up to standard?] 】
[A, Yes, B, No]
Xu Ziran's hand shook, the bowl almost fell off, and he hurriedly chose "no".
And she was stunned, Tian Jiaqi took the bowl over and began to wash the dishes in the sink.
Xu Ziran was no longer polite, because she felt that she needed to be quiet.
What the heck? There's really nothing disciplined about this system.
Like her and Qiu Yurou, it is a mystery that they have never been in love, Tian Jiaqi is 100% a straight daughter, just look at the sticky energy she will have with her boyfriend in the future, this can be chosen?
Also...... After all, even a sofa and a pen can be chosen.
Xu Ziran calmed down on the spot, and was detached from the previous sadness and sorrow by this stubble, and thought that he should really talk to Tian Jiaqi.
The little girls have already put down the shelves, and as an adult, they should be more mature.
After all, didn't you say that you were going to change something?
Xu Ziran saw that Tian Jiaqi had finished washing the dishes, so he said, "Jiaqi, let's go out for a walk." ”
……
When walking in the alley, Xu Ziran saw the ginger cat again.
The cat was actually holding a grudge, squinting at her for a moment when he saw her, then turned around and pointed his butt at her, and jumped from the wall to the other side in a different way.
When people walk outside, they can still feel that the weather is a little cold, but the new leaves on the old trees on the roadside have already sprouted, and they are about to grow.
Xu Ziran looked down at the shadow stretched by the sun on the side of the road, and she and Tian Jiaqi's shadows were in front, walking side by side.
Xu Ziran suddenly said: "If you have plastic surgery, where will you do it?" ”
This question came to an inexplicable point, Tian Jiaqi looked puzzled, and asked rhetorically: "Plastic surgery?" ”
Xu Ziran asked: "Have you thought about plastic surgery?" ”
Tian Jiaqi said: "I haven't thought about it, how terrible it is, have you thought about it?" ”
Xu Ziran remembered that now is not ten years later, all kinds of micro-facelifts are blooming everywhere, and now plastic surgery is still something in the news and legends, and everyone still has doubts and distrust of this kind of acquired behavior of changing appearance.
Now Tian Jiaqi looks disgusted when it comes to plastic surgery, which is completely different from the later Tian Jiaqi who mentioned hyaluronic acid and face slimming injections.
Xu Ziran smiled, feeling that it was ridiculous for him to ask this question.
Asking questions before they happen will not get the answers you imagined.
After doing it for a long time, she really didn't be much angry at what Tian Jiaqi said that day, what she was angry about, or what she was afraid of, was the fate that had already happened in the future.
About to open her mouth, Tian Jiaqi was not as nervous as she was just now, she said: "That, I'll go to the library with you in the afternoon, okay." ”
Seeing Tian Jiaqi's expectant gaze, Xu Ziran felt that she couldn't refuse, but when Tian Jiaqi really didn't face up to the previous problem, she was a little disappointed.
Although she has long known that Tian Jiaqi is used to avoiding all problems, if she is like this forever, at the last moment, how can she know where the real problem between the two of them is.
But Tian Jiaqi is not a person ten years later, of course she holds her current habits, so it is strange to say that she is expecting her to change.
This question should still be raised by oneself.
Xu Ziran laughed, and when she smiled, the whole person seemed free and easy, as if there was nothing worth worrying about.
Tian Jiaqi saw Xu Ziran smile like this for the first time, and was stunned for a while.
Then she heard Xu Ziran say, "Do you think the rumors you heard about Qiu Yurou are true?" ”
Tian Jiaqi is a little short-sighted.
But it's not deep, both eyes are about two hundred, about fifty degrees apart, so she never wears glasses, and most of the time she can see.
But this time, when she was obviously so close to Xu Ziran, she felt that Xu Ziran was a little vague.
It was not the first time she noticed that Xu Ziran had changed, but for the first time she admitted in her heart that Xu Ziran had indeed changed.
In the past, the two chatted, Xu Ziran seemed to be always listening to her, she crackled and poured beans and said a lot, Xu Ziran answered casually, but most of them echoed or asked questions, and rarely expressed their opinions.
Sometimes Tian Jiaqi can find that Xu Ziran disagrees with some of her words, but the other party rarely says it, or changes the topic, or falls into silence, or looks at herself and laughs helplessly.
Xu Ziran has always been such a person.
Tian Jiaqi sometimes thinks she is very close, sometimes she feels very far away, but there is one thing that everyone agrees on, that is, she is very comfortable with Xu Ziran.
However, Tian Jiaqi realized at this time, ah, the reason why she felt comfortable was because the other party never refutated.
And in the misty and faint morning light at this moment, when Xu Ziran looked at himself and seriously expressed his opinions, Tian Jiaqi flinched a little.
Why take it so seriously, she thought? It's just small talk.
She dodged Xu Ziran's gaze, and then realized that this question had to be answered in the disappointed look of Xu Ziran that she glimpsed in the afterglow.
Tian Jiaqi rarely thought about these questions, this time she began to think hard, she recalled her own words at that time, and recalled Xu Ziran's words at that time.
She spoke: "...... Yes, I'm not sure. ”
Her brain was a little confused, and she seemed to understand something: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spread this rumor when I'm not sure, but I thought it was nothing ......"
She didn't think she liked this kind of flawed chat, but when she said it, she was relieved.
In fact, she had thought about these things last night, but when it was time to say it, she didn't know how to say it.
Now, she finally spoke up.
Xu Ziran also breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't want to push too hard, so she said: "Actually, I know that when you say these words, you are more catharsis than the content, but you must know that the person who receives your words may not be able to receive your emotions, but can only receive the meaning of your words." ”
After she said this, she paused, looked at Tian Jiaqi, and saw Tian Jiaqi looking at herself in confusion, and hesitated for a while: "Ah? She didn't understand what Xu Ziran wanted to express.
Xu Ziran: "Forget the ......", let's take our time.
After going home for dinner at noon, Xu Ziran waited for Tian Jiaqi at the door, and the two set off to the library together.
Xu Ziran found that when she tacitly did not run today, the plan of the running task was also humanely reduced to Sunday, and it seemed that within a certain distance, the plan made by the system could be flexible.
But when she mentally envisions reducing her running time to less than three days a week, the system will pop up to remind her that she is not exercising enough and needs to be rectified.
And when she didn't see Qiu Yurou this morning, the system was still in [Struggle Mode], and there were no tasks related to Qiu Yurou.
Of course, if she had chosen the option of whether to choose Tian Jiaqi as the target figure in the morning, the situation might have been different.
The thought of this made her tremble all over.
Set Tian Jiaqi as a love target task? Oh my God, she hadn't even thought about it.
Xu Ziran complained in his heart while rushing to the library with Tian Jiaqi, and finally arrived at the appointed time.
The two parked their bicycles in the carport, and as soon as Xu Ziran walked out of the carport, he saw Qiu Yurou waiting at the door of the old library.
Because when she parked, the system alerted her, and in an instant, it turned pink.
And Qiu Yurou was originally full of smiles, but when she saw Tian Jiaqi, she was obviously stunned.
But she quickly came back to her senses and said with some hesitation, "You...... Hello. ”
The relationship between the two is a bit unclear, and Qiu Yurou is wondering if she should be more enthusiastic.
Tian Jiaqi was also a little embarrassed.
Before, she was almost linked up with the girls in the class to isolate Qiu Yurou, but this time it was she who was going to join in with a dead face.
Before she came, she actually thought about it, since she came for Xu Ziran, if Qiu Yurou ignored herself, she would ignore the other party, but she didn't expect that the other party would greet her as soon as she met her.
Oh my God, this man has no backbone!
Although she thought so in her heart, when Qiu Yurou opened her mouth to say hello, Tian Jiaqi still took an awkward step forward and said, "Hello, Qiu Yurou." ”
She thought: Although he has no backbone, he seems to be a good person.
