At half past eight in the morning, the familiar alarm clock sounded.

"Jingle bell, jingle bell."

Lu Li, who was half-asleep, opened his eyes, slapped one hand on the alarm clock, and the noisy sound disappeared without a trace in an instant.

After turning over, Lu Li yawned loudly, got up from the bed, and pushed open the door of the study.

Lao Lu and Lao Xiao have already gone to work, and Lu Li is the only one left in the family.

"Panda, get up, go out in half an hour, let's go to the Internet café to play games." After sending a text message to Panda on WeChat, Lu Li walked into the bathroom and washed up.

By the time he came out of the bathroom, the panda had already sent him a number of messages.

[Panda: Brother, look at what time it is, buddy only slept in the early hours of last night. 】

[Panda: Stay north, if it weren't for the fact that you fell out of love last night, buddy would never have come out today. 】

[Panda: (head big) (head big)]

[Panda: By the way, when you came, you brought two buns for your buddy, who hasn't had breakfast yet. 】

"This guy." Lu Li chuckled, took the keys, ID card, mobile phone and other personal belongings, opened the door and walked out.

The community where Lu Li lives is an old community, but there are still elevators installed in each building.

He strode up to the elevator, pressed the button to open the door, and waited quietly for the elevator to come up.

"Buzz."

There was a crisp sound, and then the elevator doors slowly opened.

Walking into the elevator and pressing the button on the first floor, just as Lu Li's fingers moved towards the door closing button, he suddenly heard a sound outside the door.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

As a childhood sweetheart who grew up together, Lu Li knew that this was Xu Qing's voice when he heard it, and he was a little hesitant to wait for her for a while.

Wait, it's a little embarrassing to meet, after all, people just rejected their confession last night.

Don't wait, there are only three families living on this floor, and you can't see anyone looking up when you look down......

In the end, Lu Li still pressed the door button.

Two seconds later, there was a "bang" of the door shut, followed by the sound of small leather shoes on the ground.

Then a shadow appeared in front of Lu Li's eyes.

A jet-black and supple high ponytail, a white sundress, and a small pale green coat.

Her skin was as white as milk, her eyes were narrow and cold, and her big bright eyes were full of pride and confidence.

She is like a white swan on the stage, destined to meet everyone's adoring eyes.

After running into the elevator, Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked up at the boy in front of him.

The boy's facial features are delicate and handsome, his figure is tall and straight, and his whole body is filled with a clean and free temperament, which makes people can't help but want to get close to him.

Lu ...... Lu Li, you ...... You're going to go out too. After seeing the person in front of him clearly, a trace of confusion flashed on Xu Qing's face, and he asked softly.

When she spoke, her eyes were a little evasive, but with a little expectation.

"Hmm." Lu Li nodded, "I made an appointment with Panda to go out to play." ”

The moment he saw Xu Qing, Lu Li found that he was not as embarrassed as he imagined, and his heart was quite calm, as if the person standing in front of him was not the person who refused his confession last night, but an ordinary classmate.

"I'm going to hang out with Yiyi today." Xu Qing blinked his beautiful eyes and whispered, "Why don't you go together, it's exactly four people." ”

In the past, she didn't like Lu Li to intervene in her personal life, and felt that she had no privacy at all. I don't know why today, maybe it was subconsciously sensing that Lu Li was leaving her, and Xu Qing took the initiative to invite Lu Li to join her.

"Forget it, we're going to the Internet café today." Lu Li didn't think about it, and shook his head directly.

It's not that he's afraid of embarrassment, it's purely that he thinks it's more convenient for two boys to play.

"That'...... All right. Xu Qing whispered, a strong sense of helplessness swelled in his heart.

In her past memories, Lu Li rarely refused her requests.

Even if she sent a difficult math problem at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, it would take thirty minutes at most, and Lu Li would send him the solution to the entire problem.

Even if she said on a whim that she would go to the mountain to watch the sunrise at four o'clock in the morning, Lu Li would smile and nod in agreement.

Only when there are some emergencies, Lu Li will refuse her request, such as when he is in his hometown or traveling with his parents.

But in a situation like today, without the interference of external factors, Lu Li's initiative to reject himself has never appeared in Xu Qing's memory in the past fifteen years.

During the elevator descending, neither of them spoke again, as if they were not childhood sweethearts who grew up together, just strangers.

There was silence in the small space.

Lu Li felt that it was nothing, but Xu Qing's heart seemed to be pressed against a big stone.

In the past, he would take the initiative to make himself happy, but now this kind of cold scene has never happened...... For no reason, Xu Qing felt a little aggrieved, but she didn't say anything, just secretly glanced at Lu Li.

Lu Lizheng looked at his phone intently, not noticing that the little girl next to him was in a mood that was wrong.

The elevator descended quickly, and after a while, it was on the first floor.

The elevator door opened, and Lu Li took the lead in walking out, and a clear voice suddenly came from behind.

"Lu Li." Xu Qing stood in place and shouted seriously: "I just think we are more suitable to be friends, I don't mean to hate you, don't think about it." ”

？？？

Lu Li turned his head, a little puzzled between his eyebrows.

Do you think about it yourself?

Lu Li's temperament belongs to the kind that can afford to take and let go, he will not feel sad because his confession is rejected, and even affect his original life.

Maybe he would have had some regrets at first, but now he has too many things to think about.

The sudden appearance of the simulator, the extra ten years of writing ability, and ten years of game design experience were enough to take up all of his time, so that he didn't have to think about his confessional rejection.

The reason why contemporary young people emo late at night is not because of how sad their lives are, nor because of how sensitive their emotions are. The reason why they know how to emo is because they have nothing to do.

If they move bricks on the construction site for a day, they probably want to rest as soon as they go to bed at night, so how can they have the energy to go to emo.

As for Lu Li, what he wants to do most now is to write a novel that can bring him enough income to accumulate his first pot of gold.

"I didn't think much of it." Lu Li explained seriously: "I think you're right, we're not suitable to be together, I was impulsive last night." ”

He spoke in a sincere and sincere tone, but without the slightest pretense, as if all this was from his heart.

I think you're right......

We don't fit together......

I was impulsive last night......

Obviously, the meaning in Lu Li's words was the same as what she expressed, but Xu Qing felt even more aggrieved, and what made her feel even more unbelievable was ......

As a childhood sweetheart who grew up together, she can see that Lu Li's words are completely from the heart, and there is no meaning to support it.

So do you think confessing to me was just a product of impulse...... Xu Qing clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and pretended to be calm and said, "That's what I mean, it's great that you can think so." ”

With that, she quickened her pace and walked quickly past Lu Li.

"What's wrong with her?" Lu Li tilted his head and said with some puzzlement.

The two had known each other for so many years, and he naturally saw that Xu Qing was angry.

But you are the one who rejected me, and you are the one who is angry.

Lu Li said that he couldn't understand it, but since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't want to.

……

After walking some distance......

Xu Qing took a deep breath, looked back at Lu Li, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why have you been following me?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Li couldn't help but cover his face with his left hand, and pointed to the community not far away with his right hand.

"Panda and Loi live in the same neighborhood, so I can't go far to avoid you."

Right...... Oh, Panda and Ichiyi live in a community.

Xu Qing's expression suddenly became embarrassed, Sakura's lips moved slightly, and she thought for a long time before she stammered:

"Have you had breakfast, why don't you go together, there's a breakfast shop in front of you, and it's doing pretty well."
