Chapter 515 The Wife Next Door Turns 40
Being confessed without any psychological preparation, Qingwu was stunned.
Looking at the boy in front of her who was so nervous and shy that his face turned red, she said calmly: "Sorry, I can't."
So direct.
This time it was Zeno's turn to be stunned. The blush on his face gradually faded, and he moved his lips slightly in frustration, not knowing what to say.
She said: "Thank you for your like, but I have someone I like."
"Is it...Lu Bai?"
"Yes." Qingwu nodded without hesitation.
She smiled and said, "He and I grew up together, and I don't remember how many years I have liked him. Thank you for your love, but I will not consider anyone else except him."
The girl's voice was soft, yet firm.
It was the first time that he mustered up the courage to confess to the girl he liked, but was politely and directly rejected by the other party. Zino's young boy's heart was a little broken.
"But, he... Lu Bai just treats you like a sister."
He said this with uncertainty himself. Because the way the cold young man looked at him last time was really frightening. He saw possessiveness in those calm eyes.
But if they liked each other, they should have been together long ago.
Qingwu's eyelashes trembled after hearing his words. After lowering her eyes and thinking for a moment, she smiled and said softly: "It doesn't matter if I am my sister. Anyway, I am by his side."
The strategy missions can still be completed. She added silently in her mind.
Zino looked at her in astonishment. I really didn't expect to hear such an answer.
Do you like Lu Bai that much? She is such an excellent person, and she likes her so much... that she can give in to such an extent, like a moth to a flame, without any hesitation.
In comparison, my own love can only be regarded as a heartbeat in my youth. Although she knew clearly that she and Lu Bai were a couple that everyone wished and admired, they still couldn't help but confess their love, and even thought of... getting involved.
After a long silence, he said: "I'm sorry."
Qingwu tilted her head and looked at him. Although she didn't know why he wanted to apologize, she calmly replied, "It's okay."
Finally, the two said goodbye and went home. Qingwu walked slowly and leisurely on the roadside alone, with one hand in his pocket and the other holding the strap of his schoolbag.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the lights on the roadside were emitting a warm orange light.
When she was about to reach the door of her house, she saw a slender young man in school uniform leaning there quietly under a street lamp at the junction of two houses, letting the light of the street lamp shine on him.
His thin lips were pursed tightly and he was looking down at the ground. His broken hair covered his eyebrows and his expression could not be seen clearly. The breath is slightly cold.
Qingwu paused when she saw him, then curled her lips and smiled.
"Xiaobai!"
After calling him, she trotted over. The other person looked over quietly with cold eyes, without moving.
Standing in front of him, Qingwu reached out to hold him, "Xiaobai, are you waiting for me here specially?"
His fingers were cold and he didn't know how long he had been standing here.
Lu Bai stood up straight but didn't look at her. He said in a clear voice: "No."
The tone was angry and aggrieved.
"Huh? Then why are you standing here stupidly?"
"...come down and buy soy sauce."
Qingwu glanced at his empty hands and fell silent. I wise enough not to ask him where the soy sauce was.
As soon as she fell silent, Lu Bai became even more depressed.
His face remained expressionless. He held her delicate white hand and squeezed it gently.
"Why come back so late?"
