My girlfriend is from the future!

The brief farce sparked by the "young" He Tianran has come to an end.

Perhaps all of this doesn't need to be prefixed with a personality, after all, He Tianran in his youth was not a very likable child.

With the matter settled, the group had no reason to stay at Jiang Xixi's house any longer. Moreover, given the young girl's earlier remarks, it would be awkward to stay any longer. Therefore, when He Tianran suggested leaving, Jiang Xixi naturally did not try to stop him.

The He Tianran standing before her was destined not to be her "Brother He," nor was he the one she would follow in his footsteps...

The young girl saw the three of them to the door. He Tianran turned around, opened his mouth, but only uttered two words:

"Feel sorry……"

Looking into his unfamiliar eyes, Jiang Xixi wondered if she was still thinking about the past events she had just interrogated him about. She shook her head listlessly.

"fine."

He Tianran didn't know how to comfort her, but fortunately Jiang Xixi didn't give him the chance. The door closed gently.

Because Wen Liang had come suddenly and needed to return to the filming location, after confirming that He Tianran was alright, the three of them left the residential area and hurriedly hailed a car to leave.

He Tianran and Cao Aiqing stood there, both somewhat silent.

The writer was already somewhat reserved when he was with Cao Aiqing. Now that the old story had been brought up again, even if the writer didn't know about these past events, he could tell from Cao Aiqing's perspective that she wouldn't be in a very good mood...

He checked the time; it was only afternoon when he came out, and it was only four o'clock in the afternoon now.

"Uh... I saw your email... about those two plots of land..."

"I don't want to talk about this right now."

"Ah... okay, by the way, Wen Liang came from Zhuguang Lane, so where did you come from? You met up with her so quickly?"

"My home."

Cao Aiqing adjusted the scarf that had fallen onto her collar, then put her hands in the pockets of her trench coat. She turned to look at He Tianran, her breath steaming in the crisp winter air, and asked:

"What, have you forgotten that you lived here when you were in high school? That should be within your current memory."

"Ah, I remember, I remember..."

He Tianran then remembered that he, Cao Aiqing, and Wen Liang were all in the same school district in high school, and their homes were not far apart, so it was natural that they came to find him quickly.

Although He Tianran only rents a place in this community, with the official address in Jiadi, Nanshan, He Panshan also has properties nearby, making it incredibly easy for him to send his son to study at Hong Kong University.

“When Wen Liang met up with me, I lost track of you. It was only after I arrived that I guessed you were at your old home. I just didn’t expect that Jiang Xixi would be living there now…”

Cao Aiqing added, and He Tianran sighed:

“Yes, when the ‘young man’ woke up, he wanted to go home, so he happened to meet Jiang Xixi. It wasn’t intentional on my part… Wait, how did you know my home… Sigh, we’ve known each other for ten years, it’s normal for me to know.”

The man was talking to himself, wondering why Cao Aiqing knew his high school address...

Cao Aiqing looked at him in confusion, "What, in your memory, you've been living here since high school... all this time?"

"I don't remember... but it shouldn't be..."

He Tianran responded with a confused look, then continued:
"Could you... tell me what kind of person 'he' is?"

He refers to the original He Tianran inside this body.

It seems that Jiang Xixi's words not only provoked the "young man," but even the already mature "writer" couldn't help but ask further questions.

But in truth, he had been wanting to ask this question for a long time, but before he could fully open his heart to Cao and Wen, he couldn't find the right person to help him answer it.

The girl stared for a few seconds, and He Tianran, who hadn't received a timely response, also turned to look at her.

Their eyes met for a moment. Looking at the man's eyes, which were full of confusion and bewilderment, Cao Aiqing turned and walked away.

"Let's go. At least the original Tianran wouldn't leave me standing in the cold winter wind..."

Cao Aiqing is afraid of the cold.

He Tianran silently noted this small incident down in his mind, hurriedly followed in her footsteps, and asked:
"where are we going?"

"my home."

He Tianran suddenly stopped in his tracks, perhaps caught off guard by the answer.

Noticing that the other person hadn't followed, Cao Aiqing turned her head slightly:

"But I need to go to New Muse to buy some things first. Let's talk as we walk."

"it is good."

The man followed again.

Although it was mentioned before that the two houses were very close, Cao Aiqing drove here because she was in a hurry, perhaps because He Tianran's personality disorder occurred so suddenly. Instead of parking in the underground garage of the community, she parked her car on the side of the road not far from the community.

The girl's car was a black MINI Cooper with a white roof. The car was small and exquisite with beautiful lines and a very fashionable feel, which was very suitable for Cao Aiqing, a city lady who only needed to commute daily.

You know, there's a shopping mall and three residential areas around here, so parking on the street isn't easy. The roadside where Cao Aiqing parked was already full of parked cars. If her car hadn't been able to squeeze in, if it had been any bigger, Cao Aiqing would have been ten minutes later when she knocked on Jiang Xixi's door.

The two got into the car. In a three-door model, if there were no one in the back, there was plenty of space for He Tianran in the passenger seat. He watched as Cao Aiqing got in, started the car, turned on the air conditioning, and tossed her trench coat into the back seat, looking every bit the seasoned driver. Just as he was about to remark that this road wasn't too congested at this time, he heard a "scratching" sound from ahead…

The windshield wipers in front of him started moving...

But it didn't move much; it barely moved twice before Cao Aiqing turned it off silently with lightning speed...

"..."

He Tianran wisely swallowed back the words he wanted to say about the route and silently fastened his seatbelt.

Then, Cao Aiqing casually shifted the gear lever, and the car lurched forward, as did He Tianran.

Then came reversing, turning the steering wheel, stopping, shifting gears, moving forward, back up, moving forward again, turning the steering wheel, turning on the turn signal, the wipers started... This was repeated three or four times, and the little MINI stuck in the narrow parking space was practically stationary...

"How about... I drive...?"

He Tianran carefully observed Cao Aiqing's still calm and composed expression.

"Tsk——"

She clicked her tongue, gripping the steering wheel with both hands as if deep in thought about something important, which is why she kept failing to move the car out of the parking space.

However, all of this was just a facade. In reality, Cao Aiqing's mind was blank. She felt that her aloof image, which she had always maintained, had been completely ruined since she left Jiang Xixi's house, and she was extremely embarrassed...

However, she managed to keep her composure despite the tense situation!
Well done, Cao Aiqing!
The girl silently withdrew her hand, then unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and got out. Seeing this, He Tianran also hurriedly unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the door, and the two switched seats...

He Tianran got into the driver's seat and began skillfully maneuvering the car. Actually, the car's features were quite good, including all-around radar, 360-degree surround view camera, and driver assistance systems...

"Why didn't 'he' send you a car with automatic parking? That would have been so much more convenient for you..."

As soon as He Tianran opened his mouth while reversing the car, he realized that what he said was wrong.

"What do you mean 'his' or 'your'? My dad bought this for me not long ago! Besides, this car has an automatic parking function, I just wanted to practice on my own!"

After Cao Aiqing finished speaking, she muttered something under her breath:
"It's not like I don't have other men who love me..."

"..."

He Tianran wisely kept quiet.

This car was a surprise that Cao's father prepared for his daughter after Cao Aiqing came to the island. After all, it would be much more convenient for his daughter to have her own car when she returned to China to work. So, let alone the current He Tianran, even the original one had never seen this car.

The man, who had been struggling with the narrow parking space for Cao Aiqing, moved onto the main road in less than a minute, stepped on the gas, and sped off towards Nathan Road.

The two remained silent for a few minutes. Their destination wasn't close; even without traffic, it would take more than half an hour to drive there. He Tianran finally spoke, asking:
What do you want to buy at New Muse?

Nathan Road is a shopping paradise in Hong Kong, and New Muse Mall is a landmark among landmarks there, where you can find many top-quality items. Cao Aiqing must have shopping needs to go there, hence the man's question.

"Nothing much, just going over there to buy some groceries to cook dinner."

"no……"

Cao Aiqing spoke calmly, but He Tianran almost slammed on the brakes and pulled over to the side of the road.

"You just need to buy groceries and cook a meal. There's a big supermarket in the Yuehui Mall that we just passed by... or there's a farmers market nearby. Why do you have to go so far to buy them? You can just eat there when you get there. Or should I take you to the nearby farmers market now?"

"Let's go, there are other projects over there, buying groceries is just something we did on the side."

Cao Aiqing ignored He Tianran and instead gazed at the city rushing past the window. Seeing that she had no intention of chatting, the man focused on driving.

Little did he know, the girl was simply lost in thought, her reflection in the car window catching the driver's profile...

She remembered the past.

Or rather, there is no difference between the past and the present.

He was driving, and she was sitting in the passenger seat. They were chatting animatedly, laughing, or just making small talk...

"He Tianran..."

"Ok?"

Do you know why Xixi suddenly told you all this before?

The man sighed somewhat:
"Because...because we want the 'young man' to face himself and face reality."

"Any more?"

"Is this also a way to awaken me...?"

He Tianran wasn't quite sure. In his memory, Jiang Xixi didn't seem to know much about her personality other than the "young man" personality, although her previous embarrassing state of attacking her right brain with her left brain and her conversation with Wen and Cao had revealed quite a bit of information.

"..."

"..."

"Does she... have some other reason?"

After waiting a few seconds without Cao Aiqing speaking, He Tianran took the initiative to ask.

"That's right, everything you said is correct, but it's not enough."

"What else?"

"Xixi...she wants to win too, doesn't she..."

This answer was actually unexpected for the man...

He Tianran fell silent, a strange light, uncharacteristic of his maturity, flashing in his eyes. Cao Aiqing paused, then continued:
"I had already heard that she had been admitted to the graduate program at the Beijing Foreign Affairs University and had become such an outstanding person. But when facing that 'boyish' personality that was most compatible and tacit with her, her Brother He would still accompany her in her fooling around and acting childish. Although this may have a lot to do with her personality and interests, as a girl, I can understand that it is not easy to do these things. If it were me..."

The man listened quietly until he heard the other person's voice gradually fade, and it seemed like the conversation was about to end, before finally asking another question:
"What would you do if it were you?"

"I have no idea……"

The same answer, the same speechless response.

However, just when He Tianran had already assumed that Cao Aiqing's next words would go unanswered, she turned to look at him and said two more things:

"However, there is one thing I can confirm."

"what?"

"I won't let her win." (End of Chapter)
