Back to the past to fall in love [system]

Qiu Yurou didn't speak any more.

The night wind was blowing against the anti-theft window outside the window, making one suspect that something was about to break through the window.

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

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

After she finished speaking, 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 any formed thoughts in her mind, so all that was left was the roaring sea tide. All Qiu Yurou's previous words were swept by the tide and slapped her face head-on.

After that there seemed to be stronger waves that frightened her.

Before Xu Ziran understood what Qiu Yurou wanted to say, Qiu Yurou understood what Xu Ziran meant.

——Let's not talk about it.

--So be it.

She was still unwilling to say that sentence by herself.

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

Qiu Yurou stopped talking.

She still remembered that during those three days, listening to all the words Liu Yizhen poured out, she wished she could die immediately.

Words full of true feelings 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 else.

Perhaps Xu Ziran is not like himself, but that is because Xu Ziran is different from himself and has a stronger heart, not because this kind of unilateral confession can be tolerated.

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

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

She spoke: "I have forgotten."

"what?"

"Just act like nothing happened."

As if nothing had happened.

This is really the easiest sentence to make people feel at ease, but it is also easy to be empty.

In the melancholy that spread endlessly like a cloud, the system reminded——

[Dear host, congratulations on completing the initial exploration task of the dungeon "The Hesitation of the Target Character". Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what the next one you will get. (The ability value is 6000, the intelligence value is 30, and the special dungeon 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 combined punishment for several crimes, because the day before, even the system's forced sleep 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 wipe out the influence of the system. This is indeed a service system.

So all of a sudden, she began to suspect that she was Huang Liang Yimeng again.

If it wasn't my own dream, why did I encounter such great luck.

However, today the brain probably 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 she didn't know very well in front of her eyes—in fact, judging from Xu Ziran's superficial scientific knowledge, it was a bit like equipment for MRI, but NPC Qiu Yurou stood in front of the equipment and said with a serious face, "Lie down."

Xu Ziran: "..." What's with this terminally ill look?

In this situation, Xu Ziran couldn't do any resistance, and lay down obediently, and then suddenly felt that he was being squeezed by something.

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

When the device under her body vibrated again, Xu Ziran also regained consciousness. She moved out of the device, and heard NPC Qiu Yurou say, "There's nothing particularly serious."

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 recording something in the notebook.

Probably because I just watched the 16-year-old Qiu Yurou before, so now when I see the adult version of Qiu Yurou, I have a very serious sense of time travel.

So it's also very unreal.

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

Qiu Yurou still recorded stroke by stroke, but she didn't know if it was Xu Ziran's illusion, and her movements became slower and slower.

Xu Ziran soon realized that this was not an illusion, she finally stopped completely and turned her gaze to Xu Ziran.

There seemed to be a gleam in those eyes gradually.

Xu Ziran stopped breathing, feeling uneasy like a heart being clenched.

No way……

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

"Exceeding authority, no answer."

Xu Ziran: "..."

After another psychological consultation that I don't know if it will be useful, Xu Ziran returned to reality.

Qiu Yurou was no longer on the next bed, and there was a faint sound of water in the bathroom.

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

After she was depressed like this for a while, Qiu Yurou came out of the bathroom fully dressed. Seeing that Xu Ziran was already awake, she said: "The teacher probably will call us together soon, you should get up quickly."

This reminder is very common, 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 understand."

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

In the next half month, Xu Ziran came to the capital again to solve some technical problems of the social networking site, and Shen Feiyao took another period of leave to travel with Qiu Yurou to relax.

Fan Yijia lived in the capital for the time being to prepare for the exam, and Luo Feifei also stayed in the capital. While busy with some work matters, he and Fan Yijia were mixed together. Love and career were both good, but in late August and early September, The two broke up again.

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

When she returned home in a hurry, Qiu's father and Qiu's mother prepared a large table of dishes for her. Because they cooked too much, they simply called Tian Jiaqi's family next door, and everyone had a lively meal.

When Xu Ziran was full of wine and food, when Xu Ziran was about to leave the banquet, Xu's mother said: "By the way, Qiu Yurou has been coming here for the past few days, but you haven't been here. I don't know why you didn't come today. Would you like to call and ask?" ask."

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

A long time has passed, and she has been busy all the time, but for some reason, the scene of that day became more and more clear in her mind, even appearing in her dreams.

Xu Ziran made some mental preparations, and finally called.

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 on the stairs, and picked up the phone.

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

Qiu Yurou's voice came with the noise of electric current: "Hello, Cumin, are you back?"

Xu Ziran pursed her lips, making her voice comfortable: "Yes, I'm back."

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

Xu Ziran said: "Anyway, school is about to start, and we can see each other soon."

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

Xu Ziran let out a "hmm".

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

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the phone was hung up.

Xu Ziran let out a long breath, and lay down on the stairs.

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

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

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

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

Thinking about it carefully, she had previously doubted whether Xu Ziran's thing about liking Qiu Yurou was true or not, but now it seems that it is indeed true.

In the end, she didn't go out to try to comfort Xu Ziran, but stayed where she was, thoughtful.

……

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

Her morning jogging tasks have always continued, but now more often, Qiu Yurou is no longer by her side.

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

Both present and future.

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

The reason for this didn't seem to be because she was dazzled by the previous conversation with Qiu Yurou, but because she suddenly realized whether the future Qiu Yurou also had different feelings for her.

At least, have you ever had a different feeling?

She used to feel that she and Qiu Yurou were soulmates whom she met too late, because when chatting with many people, it was inevitable that there would be dry, boring and embarrassing times, but never when chatting with Qiu Yurou.

Logically speaking, the other party was busy and under great pressure, and belonged to 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, like the "made for each other" in the joke.

But thinking about it now, there has never been that so-called "natural couple". The ease and joy she felt was because Qiu Yurou was trying to make herself a more suitable person.

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

However, it may be my own illusion.

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

Xu Ziran slowly slowed down, ready 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, he had cut his hair short.

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

She looked at Qiu Yurou, who was almost brand new in her memory, and waved her hand with a smile.
