Qiu Yurou did not speak again.

The night breeze was blowing against the burglar-proof window outside the window, making people suspect that something was about to break in.

In the quiet, dark room, only the breath fluctuates slightly.

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

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

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

It was difficult for her mind to form thoughts, so all that remained was the constant whistling tide, and all Qiu Yurou's previous words swept in the tide and slapped her face head-on.

Then there seemed to be a wave that was even more powerful, so terrified of her.

Xu Ziran didn't understand what Qiu Yurou wanted to say, but Qiu Yurou understood what Xu Ziran meant.

- Don't talk about it yet.

-- So be it.

She still didn't want to say that sentence herself.

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

Qiu Yurou stopped talking.

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

Words full of truth are not necessarily moving, and may even be a poison that makes people despair, and Qiu Yurou knows this better than anyone.

Maybe Xu Ziran is not like himself, but that's because Xu Ziran is different from himself and has a stronger heart, not because this kind of unilateral confession is tolerable.

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

Her heart beat and her thoughts calmed down.

She spoke, "I've forgotten about it. ”

"What?"

"It's like nothing happened."

It's like nothing happened.

This is really the most reassuring sentence, but it is easy to be empty.

In the melancholy that spreads like a cloud and mist, the system reminds -

[Dear host, congratulations on completing the preliminary exploration quest of the dungeon "Hesitation of the Target Character", life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what the next one you get. (Ability +6000, Intelligence +30, Get Special Quest Key)]

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

Xu Ziran entered the punishment space again.

This time it should be punished for several crimes, because the day before it didn't even let her fall asleep from the forced sleep of the system.

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

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

If it wasn't for your own dreams, why would you hit such a big luck?

However, today it is probably the brain that has reached a critical point, so after the forced sleep is successful, she enters 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 very well - in fact, judging from Xu Ziran's shallow scientific knowledge, it was a bit like equipment for doing nuclear magnetic resonance, and NPC Qiu Yurou stood in front of the equipment and said with a stern face: "Lie in." ”

Xu Ziran: "......" looks like a terminal illness.

In this case, Xu Ziran couldn't do any resistance, and obediently lay in, and then suddenly had a feeling that he was being squeezed by something.

This feeling of squeezing is not strong, and it can even be regarded as comfortable, so that although Xu Ziran doesn't understand what state he is in now, he gradually fell into a half-dream.

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

Xu Ziran: Of course, "......" is no problem.

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

It was about the sixteen-year-old Qiu Yurou who had just looked at it before, so that when I saw the adult version of Qiu Yurou now, the sense of crossing was particularly strict.

So it's also very unreal.

She looked at Qiu Yurou's face, watched the other party write seriously and was expressionless, and she didn't know what nerve was wrong in her brain, so she couldn't help but say, "Do you like me?" ”

Qiu Yurou still recorded one stroke at a time, but I don't know if it was Xu Ziran's illusion, and her movements became slower and slower.

Xu Ziran soon knew that this was not an illusion, and she finally stopped her movements completely and moved her gaze to Xu Ziran.

It seemed that there was a gradual brightness in his eyes.

Xu Ziran stagnated his breathing, and felt unstable like being clenched to his heart.

No way......

She looked at Qiu Yurou, Qiu Yurou also looked at her, and finally spoke-

"If you exceed your authority, you won't answer."

Xu Ziran: "......"

After another psychological counseling that I don't know if it was useful, Xu Ziran returned to reality.

Qiu Yurou was no longer 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 depressed like this, Qiu Yurou came out of the bathroom dressed neatly, she saw that Xu Ziran had woken up, so she said: "The teacher is estimated to let us gather soon, you should get up quickly." ”

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

Xu Ziran's heart suddenly emptied, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Okay, I know." ”

It seems that Yiqiē has really returned to the ordinary, and there is really no then.

In the next half month, Xu Ziran came to the capital again to solve some technical problems on social networking sites, and Shen Feiyao took a period of leave and accompanied Qiu Yurou to travel and 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 matters, he and Fan Yijia were blending oil in honey, and their love and career were correct, but in late August and early September, the two still broke up once.

At that time, Xu Ziran was about to go home, but because of the crying Fan Yijia, she postponed it for a few more days, and it was not until the two got back together that she finally breathed a sigh of relief and went home.

When she went home, Qiu's father and mother prepared a large table of dishes for her, because it was too much to burn, so she simply called Tian Jiaqi's family next door, and everyone had a lively meal.

When Xu Ziran was about to leave the table, Xu's mother said: "By the way, Qiu Yurou has been coming over a few days ago, but you haven't arrived, I don't know what's going on today and didn't come, do you want to call and ask." ”

Xu Ziran was stunned when she heard this, 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.

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

Xu Ziran made some mental preparations, and finally called over.

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 staircase, and picked up the mobile phone.

The cursor moved up and down the address book for a long time, and finally pressed dial, this time only about two rings, and the call was connected.

Qiu Yurou's voice came with the murmur of electricity: "Hey, cumin, are you back?" ”

Xu Ziran pursed his lips and made his voice feel free: "Well, yes, I'm back." ”

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

Xu Ziran said: "Anyway, school is about to start, and we will be able to meet soon." ”

Qiu Yurou paused and said, "School will start the day after tomorrow." ”

Xu Ziran said "um".

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

After a brief pleasantries, the phone hung up.

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

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

Feelings should be something that should be talked about when they are more mature, and it is still too early for them now.

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

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

Thinking about it carefully, she had doubted whether what Xu Ziran said about liking 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, thoughtful.

……

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

Her morning jogging task has always continued, but now more often than not, there is no Qiu Yurou by her side.

It should be the reason for the first day of school, there is no one on the playground yet, Xu Ziran ran down in a circle, and countless memories belonging to her and Qiu Yurou in her mind kept appearing.

There is both the present and the future.

Think about it carefully, at that time, why did she ask NPC Qiu Yurou the question "Do you like me"?

The reason for this does not seem to be because she was carried away by the previous conversation with Qiu Yurou, but because she suddenly realized that the future Qiu Yurou also has different feelings for her.

At the very least, have you ever had a different relationship?

She used to think that she and Qiu Yurou were soul friends who met too late, because when chatting and talking with many people, there were inevitably dry and boring and embarrassing times, but never when chatting with Qiu Yurou.

And logically speaking, the other party's career is busy and stressful, and he belongs to a completely different direction from Xu Ziran, but Xu Ziran has never felt left out.

Relaxed and relaxed.

Intimate and intimate.

A qiē seems to be compatible, like a "natural pair" as mentioned in the joke.

But now that I think about it, there has never been a so-called "natural pair", and the ease and happiness she feels is because Qiu Yurou is trying to make herself a more suitable person for herself.

She has been accommodating, and the other party is too smart and secretive, and she has never found out.

However, it may be my own delusion.

She may have been so confused by the sudden shock that she couldn't even look at these things from a more ordinary perspective.

Xu Ziran slowly slowed down and prepared to go to the side to do stretching exercises.

She looked up and saw Qiu Yurou standing aside, looking at her from afar.

The other party seems to have tanned, thinner, and more importantly, he actually cut his hair short.

This never-before-seen image made Xu Ziran forget to say hello at the first time.

She looked at Qiu Yurou, who could almost be said to be new in her impression, and smiled and waved at her.
