Reborn 80s

81 Response
After eating, Lin Qiu was ready to go out. She walked slowly towards Renming Square, but she was still a little apprehensive.

It was the first time in two lifetimes that someone confessed seriously. I thought it should be something that would make me feel excited and happy, but I didn’t know that I felt a lot of pressure. I thought about how to reject others for several days.

Lin Qiu sighed again from the bottom of his heart, it was not unreasonable for him to be alone for more than twenty years in his previous life.

Thinking about this in my heart, I arrived at the People's Square in a short while, and passed through this square to the gate of the park.

Lin Qiu walked to the center of the square and saw Zhou Jian at the gate of the park from a distance.

Zhou Jian was wearing a white short-sleeved hoodie with a pair of dark jeans. He seemed to have had his hair cut recently. The short hair made his eyebrows look more refreshed.

Lin Qiu felt that he seemed to have grown taller recently. The bones of an 18-year-old boy had begun to develop. He had an adult body but retained a strong youthful air because of his thin body.

Lin Qiu looked at Zhou Jian and had to sigh sincerely, what a good-looking boy.

Zhou Jian seemed to see Lin Qiu, and his body tensed up for a moment. He raised his hand stiffly and waved to Lin Qiu.

When Lin Qiu walked in front of Zhou Jian, Zhou Jian clenched his fist unconsciously, "It's so hot, it's too hot to walk here, shall I buy you a popsicle?"

Lin Qiu shook his head hastily, refusing that he ate too much for dinner and couldn't afford it.To be honest, Lin Qiu really didn't have much appetite.

Zhou Jian had no choice but to nod, looked around, and said, "Then, why don't we go for a walk in the park?"

Lin Qiu smiled at Zhou Jian and said, "Okay."

Zhou Jian blushed unconsciously, and the two walked into the park.

After turning around, the two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't speak. There seemed to be a delicate balance between the two silent people, and neither of them wanted to break the situation first.

Finally, Zhou Jian seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, and said, "After the graduation party, you have not heard from me all this time. I was really impatient, so I called your family."

Zhou Jian stopped walking forward and looked at Lin Qiu, "But it was Auntie who answered the phone and told me that you had gone to Jingshi and it would take a few days to get back. These days I have... I can't bear it, I called your family several times, but you didn't return."

Lin Qiu nodded and said, "I know, my mother told me all about it, I'm really sorry."

Zhou Jian shook his head, he didn't really want to hear the apology in Lin Qiu's tone, he always felt a little flustered for no reason.

He gritted his teeth, worked up his courage, and asked, "Lin Qiu, my question that night...have you considered it?"

Lin Qiu suddenly remembered the top floor of the school's teaching building. She felt that she was standing outside the fence of the top floor, overlooking the ground.

Finally, I made up my mind and jumped downstairs.

"Zhou Jian, I'm sorry, I don't think I can be your girlfriend." Lin Qiu felt that his tongue seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and it was very difficult for him to spit out these words.

It was the longer silence that surrounded the two of them. It seemed that after a century, Zhou Jian found his voice and asked dryly, "Why?"

Lin Qiu closed his eyes, thinking helplessly, why is there no reason?It's just that since Zhou Jian's confession, I don't feel the slightest joy, but I feel huge pressure and... a sense of guilt for not being able to respond.

If you really like someone, maybe you won't feel this way, right?
Lin Qiu thought about it and said, "Zhou Jian, I'm not in the mood for love."

Zhou Jian smiled bitterly, stared into Lin Qiu's eyes and asked, "Are you not in the mood to fall in love with me?"

"I don't know." Lin Qiu said helplessly, "To be honest, at least until now, I have no idea of ​​dating anyone."

Lin Qiu met Zhou Jian's gaze and said seriously, "Thank you for liking me, but I think it's more appropriate for us to be friends."

Finally speaking out what was in her heart, Lin Qiu felt that the pressure on her chest that made her breathless finally disappeared.

After listening to Lin Qiu's answer, Zhou Jian's face turned pale, as if he was unwilling to give up, and said to himself, "According to what you said, you don't have anyone you like now, right?"

Lin Qiu nodded, feeling a little confused about Zhou Jian's question.

"Then why don't you try to be with me? If one day you have someone you like..." Zhou Jian said bitterly, "Then we'll separate, and I won't stop you."

Lin Qiu interrupted Zhou Jian's next words, "You know, everyone has only one first love, and it's very precious. You shouldn't waste your first love on someone who doesn't like you and can't respond to you."

Zhou Jian still seemed to want to say something, but Lin Qiu then interrupted him, "And my first love is also very precious, you can't just start in a daze just because you want to try."

Lin Qiu's words seemed to be a sap, Zhou Jian felt his heart shrink into a ball, Lin Qiu didn't even leave him a glimmer of hope.

Lin Qiu also knew that what he said was quite unfeeling, but if he couldn't give the other party the same response, it would be a more cruel thing to keep the other party hopeful.

Lin Qiu said apologetically, "I'm sorry..."

Zhou Jian waved his hand and stopped Lin Qiu from apologizing, "I'll take you back."

Lin Qiu nodded, and the two walked to Lin Qiu's neighborhood without saying a word.

After Lin Qiu entered the yard, he watched Zhou Jian walk away with his lonely figure, and finally disappeared into the night.

Lin Qiu sighed and was about to enter the house.Suddenly I heard a "click" sound from outside the door, as if someone had stepped on dead branches and leaves.

Lin Qiu suddenly became a little nervous, and shouted "Who!"

Second Brother Lin was suddenly taken aback by his sister's angry shout, for fear that Lin Qiu's nervousness would frighten the neighbors.

Lin Youfu hurriedly spoke out to reveal his identity, "Hey, hey, don't shout, it's your second brother."

Only then did Lin Qiu see Lin Youfu walking out of the darkness, and followed him into the courtyard.

Lin Qiu was a little baffled, the second brother also went out?Came back with me?Why didn't I notice it at all?

Lin Qiu thought about it carefully, finally felt that something was wrong, squinted his eyes, and asked Lin Youfu, "Second brother, why are you sneaking around at night?"

Brother Lin said seriously, "Hey, what are you talking about sneaking, how do you talk about it? I also accumulate food and walk around to eliminate food."

"Oh, walking around so coincidentally you can reach home with me? Brother, which route do you take?"

Lin Youfu hesitated and said, "How can I remember where I went? Why don't I just walk casually."

"Hmph, did you accidentally walk to the People's Square when you were walking casually? Brother, you are all bored, and you secretly followed me!".
