Chapter 1: Asking the canal is as clear as it is
It was a sunny day with just the right amount of sunshine.
Coffee shop around the corner.
Xu Lai sat there alone, taking advantage of the gap, crackling on his laptop, and his hand speed was extremely fast.
The handsome appearance and focused posture have attracted the attention of many female customers, but those who dare to take the initiative to ask for contact information are only a few after all.
It didn't take long for a long-haired beauty wearing Prada sunglasses to sit calmly in the seat opposite him.
She took off her sunglasses, her skin was brighter than snow, her eyes were like a pool of clear water, her appearance was extremely beautiful, she was really like a pearl and faint, beautiful jade was shining, and there was a faint breath of books between her eyebrows.
Xu Lai closed the laptop, and after seven years, he was a little surprised to receive this girl's active invitation.
There was inevitably a ripple in his heart, after all, who didn't have such a crush in his youth?
Not to mention, in fact, they have known each other since childhood, been neighbors for a few years, and went to the same elementary school and the same high school, but after graduating from high school, they no longer have any contact.
Time can dilute everything, he was originally rational and indifferent, the ripples quickly calmed down, and his state of mind at this time was extremely peaceful.
"Xu Qingru, long time no see." Xu Lai showed a polite and detached smile and took the initiative to greet him.
Xu Qingru supported her cheek with a slender hand, the famous watch on her wrist was worth a lot of money at a glance, and her eyes were filled with nostalgia and scrutiny.
She looked at him for a while, didn't talk to him politely at all, and said straight to the point: "Xu Lai, do you have a girlfriend?" ”
Xu Lai felt that she was abrupt, but in her memory, it seems that she has always been like this, beautiful girls always have the qualifications to be willful, plus she has a good family, so she can live more wantonly.
He sometimes envied her carefree life.
"Nope." Xu Lai replied nonchalantly.
"You're so handsome, you don't have a girlfriend yet, I already have a girlfriend!" Xu Qingru smiled, this smile was full of charm, very moving.
"You? Got a girlfriend? Xu Lai was a little confused.
"Well, her name is Jiang Xue, she is super beautiful, very virtuous and caring, I will introduce you to you another day...... It's a pity that no one in my family supports me except my brother, and I don't dare to expose my orientation at all, and then my parents always let me go out on a blind date, and now the requirements have been lowered to a man, and they also said that they regretted letting me study for a doctorate. ”
Xu Qingru opened the conversation box and complained.
However, at the age of twenty-six, she has indeed reached the age of being urged, and she will not be urged to marry, but it is normal for her parents to urge her to find a boyfriend.
Xu Lai didn't have such troubles, because in the summer vacation of his third year of junior high school, his parents died in a car accident, leaving him and his grandmother to rely on each other, and just two years ago, his grandmother also died, and he was alone and careless.
Sometimes he can't help but laugh at himself, his life is really full of buffs, he is simply a member of the orphanage who is the starting point of the roots, the protagonist of the old online article, but unfortunately he hasn't activated the system for so many years.
But one thing to say, he is actually quite satisfied with his current life, as a freelance writer, his manuscript fee can support himself, he doesn't have to buy a house, and he is not ready to get married.
He has close friends with the author, sincere and faithful readers, and words that will never betray him, and he never feels alone.
Xu Qingru is still confiding: "Actually, I really regret studying medicine, my dream is actually to be a great writer, or a great artist, in fact, I have a special literary ...... in my bones."
Are you Brother Xun too? Xu Lai silently complained in his heart.
However, now is the prosperous era of national peace and security, and the prospect of studying medicine is very bright.
Like his words, the best thing to say is freelance writers, new media people, and online writers, but the worst thing is to say that they are unemployed vagrants who have no regular jobs.
I don't blame others, I just blame him for not being able to get out of the shadow of his parents' deaths, the entire high school was abandoned, and finally went to a broken second university, and the key high school he went to, the first rate was 95%, and the second rate was 98%.
After graduating from high school, he didn't contact any of his high school classmates, not because he felt faceless after failing the exam, after all, it was his youth with the strongest self-esteem and the most excess self-awareness.
"Do me a favor, pretend to be my boyfriend, and fool my parents." Xu Qingru confided for a long time, and finally tried to see the dagger.
Xu Lai's smile retracted, he didn't expect that this kind of bloody plot that often appears in online articles could be encountered by him.
He admitted that the girl opposite was indeed very beautiful, especially in line with his aesthetics, or his "white moonlight", and even the attribute bonus of "childhood sweetheart".
However, he shook his head and refused, "I'm sorry, I can't help you." ”
Xu Lai is extremely tough and assertive, since he has made up his mind to die alone, he will not make an exception for any girl, he doesn't have a girlfriend, he just doesn't want to find it.
Xu Qingru felt the alienation and indifference in the other party's bones, she was a little uncomfortable, obviously she had a good time when she was a child, but when she grew up, everything changed.
Childhood sweetheart, long time no see, and then the story of the front edge, it seems to end here.
She didn't mess around with anything, and after being rejected, she said "I'm sorry", and picked up the Hermes bag that cost nearly 300,000 yuan and left, with a faint sadness between her eyebrows.
Xu Lai didn't stay in the coffee shop for long, packed up his laptop, and left after him, where Eason Chan's "Long Time No See" was playing-
“…… We can't go back to that day, will you suddenly show up at the coffee shop on the corner......"
After going out, Xu Qingru was in a trance, and when he crossed the sidewalk, he actually ran a red light, and then the extremely classic mud truck came, without slowing down at all!
Seeing this, Xu Lai didn't think much about it at all, and rushed over and pushed Xu Qingru forward fiercely, allowing her to avoid this flying disaster!
However, he himself was made a porcelain solid, and his body flew out, and he died so that he could no longer die.
It's all happening between the lights and the fire.
When Xu Qingru reacted, she ran to Xu Lai, who was lying in a pool of blood, like crazy, and while calling the emergency number, tears rained down!
"Xu Lai, don't die! When I was a child, I clearly said that we would always play together and never be separated...... You've changed since you were in high school, and you've been completely out of touch since college, you big liar...... Woooooooo ”
Xu Lai's soul had already floated into the air, and when he was dying, he saw this scene with mixed feelings in his heart.
If he didn't feel inferior when he was young, or if he was also admitted to a prestigious school, then maybe he would really have the courage to pursue her.
Next, he felt that his soul had passed through the time and space tunnel of the parallel world, and a reminder of "system binding" appeared in his mind, and after the binding was completed, he actually regained consciousness.
Xu Lai was refreshed for a while, and it is indeed said that the classic artifact mud truck plus the buff stacked at the starting point orphanage is full!
"Xu Qingru, a good name, ask Qu Na Qingru Xu, for there is a source of living water, sit down, a classmate in the back, it's your turn to introduce yourself." Cai Bin, a Chinese teacher and head teacher, said to her with a smile.
Xu Lai sat down in a daze, he, or rather her, looked at the face of "Xu Qingru" in the small round mirror in the pencil case, and then looked at her slender and beautiful palm, and then she put her hand on her chest......
Her heart is ""!
She doesn't want to say anything like that!
He did save Xu Qingru with his own life, but now this kind of divine unfolding that has crossed into the other party's body is too deceitful, right?
