This childhood sweetheart has a problem

Chapter 1

It was a sunny day with clear skies.

Corner coffee shop.

Xu Lai sat there alone, taking advantage of the gap, crackling and typing on the laptop, his hands were 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 after all a minority.

Not long after, a long-haired beauty wearing Prada sunglasses calmly sat on the seat opposite him.

She took off her sunglasses, her complexion was more radiant than snow, her eyes were like pools of clear water, her appearance was extremely beautiful, she was really like a pearl shining brightly, and the beauty of jade was shining, and there was a bookish air between her brows and eyes.

Xu Lai closed his laptop, and after seven years, he was a little surprised to receive this girl's unsolicited invitation.

There was inevitably a rippling in his heart, after all, who didn't have such a crush in their youthful years?
Not to mention, they had known each other since they were young, had been neighbors for a few years, and went to the same elementary school and high school, but after graduating from high school, they no longer had any contact.

Time can dilute everything. He was originally rational and indifferent, and the ripples that appeared soon calmed down. His state of mind is extremely peaceful at this time.

"Xu Qingru, long time no see." Xu Lai greeted with a polite and alienated smile.

Xu Qingru supported her cheek with a slender hand, and the famous watch on her wrist was worth a lot of money, and her eyes were full of nostalgia and scrutiny.

She looked at him for a long time, and without being polite to him at all, she said straight to the point: "Xu Lai, do you have a girlfriend?"

Xu Lai felt that she was abrupt, but in his memory, she seemed to be like this all the time. A beautiful girl always had the qualification to be willful, plus her family was rich, so she could live a more wanton life.

Sometimes he envied her carefree life.

"No." Xu Lai replied indifferently.

"You are so handsome, yet you don't have a girlfriend yet. I already have a girlfriend!" Xu Qingru smiled, and this smile was full of charms, very touching.

"You? Have a girlfriend?" Xu Lai was a little confused.

"Well, her name is Jiang Xue, she is super beautiful, she is very virtuous and considerate, I will introduce you to her another day... It's a pity that no one in my family supports me except my brother, and I don't dare to reveal my orientation at all , and my parents always asked me to go on blind dates, but now the requirements have been lowered to just being a man, and they also said they regret letting me study for a Ph.D."

Xu Qingru opened up the chatter box and started to complain.

However, at the age of 26, 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 did not 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 depend on each other, and just two years ago, his grandmother also passed away, and he has been alone ever since. No worries.

Sometimes he can't help laughing at himself, his life is full of real buffs, he is a member of the Orphanage at the starting point, and the protagonist of old Internet novels, but unfortunately he hasn't activated the system for so many years.

But there is one thing to say, he is actually quite satisfied with his current life. As a freelance writer, his writing fee can support himself, he does not need to buy a house, and he is not planning to get married.

He has author friends with deep friendship and sincere and loyal reader friends, as well as words that will never betray him, and he never feels lonely.

Xu Qingru is still confiding: "Actually, I really regret studying medicine. My dream is to be a great writer, or a great artist. In fact, I am very literary..."

Are you Brother Xun too?Xu Lai complained silently in his heart.

However, now is the prosperity of the country and the people, and the prospect of studying medicine is very bright.

Like what he said, at best they are freelance writers, new media professionals, and Internet writers, at worst they are unemployed vagrants without a fixed job.

Don't blame others, just blame him for not being able to get out of the shadow of his parents' death, the whole high school was abandoned, and finally went to a poor second university, and the key high school he attended had a rate of 95%. The second rate is 98%.

After graduating from high school, he didn't contact any high school classmates. Maybe it was because he felt ashamed to face others after failing the exam. After all, it was his youth with the strongest self-esteem and the most excessive 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 him.

Xu Lai's smile restrained, he didn't expect that such bloody plots that often appeared in Internet articles would be encountered by him.

He admitted that the girl opposite is indeed very beautiful, especially in line with his aesthetics, or his "white moonlight", and even has the attribute bonus of "childhood sweetheart". If it were any other man, he might have agreed to it long ago.

However, he shook his head and refused, "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 does not have a girlfriend, and he simply does not want to find one.

Xu Qingru felt the alienation and indifference in the other party's bones, and she felt a little uncomfortable. She played well when she was young, but when she grew up, everything changed.

Childhood sweetheart, long time no see, and the story of the continuation of the front seems to end here.

She didn't bother about anything, she said "I'm sorry" after being rejected, and then picked up the Hermès bag with a price of nearly 30 and left, with a touch of sadness on her brows.

Xu Lai didn't stay in the coffee shop too long, he packed up his laptop and left right after him. Eason Chan's "Long Time No See" was playing in the coffee shop——

"... We can't go back to the day, will you suddenly appear in the coffee shop on the corner..."

After going out, Xu Qingru was in a trance. When crossing the sidewalk, she ran a red light, and then a very classic dump truck came, without slowing down at all!
Seeing this, Xu Lai didn't think much at all, rushed over and pushed Xu Qingru forward, allowing her to escape the sudden disaster!
However, he himself was traumatized, his body flew out, and he couldn't die anymore.

All of this happened between lightning and flint.

When Xu Qingru came to her senses, she frantically ran to Xu Lai who was lying in a pool of blood, making an emergency call while crying like rain!
"Xu Lai, don't die! We clearly agreed when we were young that we would always play together and never be apart... You have changed since you were in high school, and you have completely lost contact after college, you big liar... Woo hoo."

Xu Lai's soul had already floated into the air, and when he was dying, seeing this scene, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.

If he had been young and had no low self-esteem, or if he had also been 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-space tunnel of the parallel world, and a reminder of "system binding" appeared in his mind. After the binding was completed, he unexpectedly regained consciousness.

Xu Lai was refreshed for a while. There is indeed a saying that the classic crossing artifact dump truck and the buffs of the starting point orphanage are full!

"Xu Qingru, that's a good name. Ask me how clear it is. For the source of fresh water, please sit down. The next classmate, it's your turn to introduce yourself." Chinese teacher and homeroom teacher Cai Bin said to her with a smile.

Xu Lai sat down blankly. He, or it should be her, looked at the face of "Xu Qingru" in the small round mirror in the pencil case, then at her slender and beautiful palm, and then she put her hand on her chest... …

Her heart was full of "fuck"!
She doesn't want to talk like that!
He did save Xu Qingru with his own life, but now this kind of divine development that travels through the other person's body is too good-natured, right?
