Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 549 Just Look at Me

Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia turned to look at Liu Wangchun together.

Liu Wangchun raised his hands, revealing an awkward yet polite fake smile: "Long Liandong said that Bai Qingxia should open this letter and read it when she decides to take a brave step. I didn't understand what she meant, but she said Bai Qingxia would understand."

Liu Wangchun was puzzled at the time. In her memory, Bai Qingxia and Long Liandong hardly interacted. How did they end up like close friends, while she, Liu Wangchun, became the clown?
Lu Yuanqiu looked at Bai Qingxia sitting in his lap, and Bai Qingxia looked at him as well. The only one who was kept in the dark, Liu Wangchun, looked at the two of them curiously and asked, "What step are we at? What's this guy up to?"

Bai Qingxia bent down, folded the envelope in half, and carefully put it into the pocket of her shorts.

"No, Xiaxia, you really believe her? Let's open it and take a look now," Liu Wangchun reminded her.

Bai Qingxia shook her head: "No need, Chun Chun, I'll listen to her."

Lu Yuanqiu took a deep breath, shook his head and sighed. He unconsciously patted Bai Qingxia's thigh, guessing that Long Liandong seemed to have given up something. This made Lu Yuanqiu curious about what Long Liandong would say to him tonight.

Bai Qingxia slightly squeezed her legs together, took the millet porridge from Lu Yuanqiu's hand, placed it on the table, and then took the initiative to get off Lu Yuanqiu's legs. She tiptoed to the ground, then used her hands to support herself on the bed and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Aren't you going to hold him and feed him anymore?" Liu Wangchun asked.

"No, it's just... it's just because... I don't have much strength in my hands, so..." Bai Qingxia stammered as she explained.

Lu Yuanqiu, on the other hand, sat down beside him as if he were an outsider, patting his leg and laughing.

Bai Qingxia awkwardly shut her mouth. She sat on the edge of the bed with her legs together, picked up the millet porridge and quietly began to drink it. Seeing this, Liu Wangchun quickly turned around and brought the lunch that was placed at the door.

"I rushed over to deliver your food. I didn't have time to come see you. This is what you like to eat that she bought for you. She asked me to bring it over on my way."

Lu Yuanqiu peeked out: "Is there any for me?"

His outstretched hand was slapped away by Liu Wangchun, and Bai Qingxia laughed out loud at the sight.

……

At 7 p.m., Lu Yuanqiu arrived at the entrance of the playground as agreed.

As soon as the sports meet ended, the playground became deserted, probably because there were classes the next day, and even fewer people were walking around the campus.

Lu Yuanqiu saw a girl in a black dress standing at the entrance of the playground, with a small bow tied around her waist. It was Long Liandong. She seemed to especially like wearing black clothes. She was also holding a sketchbook in her hand. Lu Yuanqiu remembered that sketchbook; he had seen it several times.

"You're here." Lu Yuanqiu walked up to Long Liandong.

Long Liandong looked up slightly. Lu Yuanqiu hadn't expected to see a smile on her face, but he was surprised to find that Long Liandong smiled at him.

"Let's go inside and take a walk," she suggested.

Lu Yuanqiu smiled and agreed. The two strolled on the red rubber track under the dim yellow lights. Many students taking a walk looked at them, but Lu Yuanqiu pretended not to notice. He casually chatted with Long Liandong: "You have a good talent for sports, don't you?"

Long Liandong responded: "I've been running since I was little to maintain my figure."

"That must be tiring, right?" Lu Yuanqiu replied.

Long Liandong suddenly stopped and looked at him with a smile: "You are the second person to say that I would get tired. The first was my grandfather."

Lu Yuanqiu was stunned for a moment, then laughed with some surprise: "Mainly because you're not that old yet, it's really a bit early to start paying attention to your figure from a young age. I definitely won't let my child carry so many burdens from a young age. It's much better to be an ordinary person and be free."

Long Liandong looked up at the profile of the young man beside her, gazing intently. She hadn't really interacted with Lu Yuanqiu much, but every word he said resonated with her.

Maybe this is fate.

Lu Yuanqiu asked curiously, "By the way, what did you write in that letter you gave Bai Qingxia?"

Long Liandong responded briefly: "Regarding her approval."

Lu Yuanqiu smiled: "Thank you." "You're welcome."

"So you came to see me today because..."

"I like you."

Lu Yuanqiu stopped and looked at Long Liandong. Long Liandong also stopped and met his gaze with a normal expression.

Meeting such a serious yet calm gaze for the first time, Lu Yuanqiu nodded slightly. Just as he was about to speak, Long Liandong interrupted, "You're going to reject me, right?"

Lu Yuanqiu nodded again: "Yes, so all I can say is sorry."

"But I am very grateful for your appreciation. Not many girls have liked me growing up, so it is an honor to be liked by such a beautiful celebrity."

Long Liandong didn't care about the answer she already knew. She lowered her head and took out the sketchbook in her hand. Seeing this, Lu Yuanqiu said, "Oh, no need. Since I refused, there's no need to give me a gift."

Long Liandong looked at him and said, "This isn't a gift for you."

Lu Yuanqiu: "..."

Long Liandong opened the picture book and started from the first page. Lu Yuanqiu walked around behind Long Liandong and saw that the first page featured a boy wearing a basketball uniform that read "Once Promised to be the First Class in the World".

Long Liandong: "I drew this while watching a video."

Lu Yuanqiu sighed and nodded: "It looks very similar, it's really well drawn."

Long Liandong continued to turn the pages, and Lu Yuanqiu discovered that every single one of them was a drawing of him by Long Liandong. He remembered some of the scenes, but he had no idea about others.

"Thank you, thank you for your thoughtfulness." After looking at the picture book, Lu Yuanqiu looked at the other person with some disappointment. He could empathize with Long Liandong's feelings.

"Have you liked me since we were little?"

"Yes and no, we didn't have much going on between us. Maybe fate just happened to arrange for you to match all the things that attract me."

Seeing Lu Yuanqiu's regretful expression, Long Liandong smiled and shook her head: "Don't feel sorry. I'm also gradually coming to believe that when you like someone, you really want them to be happy."

Lu Yuanqiu smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Long Liandong turned to the last page of the album. Lu Yuanqiu saw that the second to last page was a picture of him playing basketball at the spring sports meet, while the last page was blank.

She turned around, took a pencil out of her bag, and asked Lu Yuanqiu, "Can I draw one last picture for you? I want to keep this sketchbook."

"Of course, is there anything I can do for you?"

Long Liandong thought for a moment, then looked at the backboard covered by the streetlights and said, "Could you stand under that backboard?"

Lu Yuanqiu walked over and stood under the backboard. Bathed in the dim light was a sunny boy with short hair and a smiling face.

Long Liandong looked at it intently for a few seconds, then suddenly Lu Yuanqiu asked, "Do you need me to strike a pose?"

"No need, just look at me."

"Ok."

"Lu Yuanqiu, my birthday is December 23rd!"

The voice behind the picture book suddenly sounded a little choked up, or perhaps it was just my imagination.

The boy under the basket responded cheerfully, "Got it!"
