Oh no, the aloof school beauty has been reborn too!

The streetlights were on one by one, and people were coming and going on the street.

Occasionally, couples would walk by hand in hand, their laughter carried away by the wind and mingling with the distant hustle and bustle.

Lu Xing glanced at the girl beside him.

Shen Qingyi still held his arm.

Her eyes were still a little red, but her overall condition was much better than before.

The ethereal wall that had previously stood between the two of them had thinned even further after tonight.

Many unreasonable things from the past seem to have found their answers at this moment.

Thinking of this, Lu Xing suddenly grinned foolishly at the sky.

Shen Qingyi heard his laughter and looked up at him.

"What are you laughing at?"

Lu Xing couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

"It's nothing."

Shen Qingyi narrowed her eyes.

"Your expression right now looks so irritating."

Lu Xing looked at her with a smile.

"It just suddenly occurred to me..."

He paused deliberately, his tone carrying a hint of exaggerated surprise.

"So you planned this all along."

Shen Qingyi was slightly taken aback.

Lu Xing found it more and more interesting as he talked, and even cleared his throat in a pretentious manner.

"Come on, let's do an interview."

"How does it feel to successfully deceive an innocent-looking guy?"

Shen Qingyi was silent for two seconds, then rolled her eyes at him.

"Still as foolish as ever, still as stupid as ever."

Lu Xing didn't mind at all; instead, he laughed even more heartily.

He now understands completely.

From the very beginning, the way this girl looked at him was off!

What kind of love at first sight is this?

No wonder I always felt something was off...

The story about my ex-wife from a previous life who restarted the game with maxed-out affection and wooed me completely.

Thinking of this, Lu Xing turned his head to look at her:

"But I never imagined my future self would be so awesome..."

Shen Qingyi looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"What?"

Lu Xing puffed out his chest, his tone quite proud.

"He's a senior executive at the internet company."

In the future, I will have a house, a car, a stable career, and such a beautiful wife.

Isn't this the epitome of a winner in life?

Although it was ultimately launched by the Universiade.

Shen Qingyi did not respond immediately upon hearing this.

She slowed her pace slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

Lu Xing keenly noticed the girl's change.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Qingyi pursed her lips and said softly:

"...You still need to keep working hard."

Lu Xing was stunned for a moment.

The trajectory of a past life will not repeat itself in this life.

Shen Qingyi appeared in his life early on, and many things changed as a result.

The so-called "internet executive" of the future will not be a title that falls from the sky.

He still has to take it one step at a time.

Lu Xing nodded slightly.

"Of course."

His tone was very natural.

"Let's put in extra effort this time and strive to create even better conditions."

"I'll make sure you live in a villa, drive luxury cars, and become an absolute 'rich, beautiful, and successful' woman."

Shen Qingyi wrinkled her nose.

"Who wants to be a rich, beautiful, and successful woman?"

She has never been particularly attached to these things.

No matter how beautiful the house, how nice the car, or how expensive the gift...

As long as the person who would smile foolishly at her is gone from the house, everything loses its meaning.

Shen Qingyi's voice was slightly low.

"I don't care about such a big house..."

She linked her arm with Lu Xing's, her fingertips unconsciously tightening their grip.

"All I want is for you to stay by my side."

Lu Xing opened his mouth.

When it comes to safety, no one can really say for sure.

In this life, it's impossible to completely avoid all unexpected events.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

But we can avoid all dangers as much as possible.

As he spoke, he pulled Shen Qingyi and walked a little further into the street.

"How is it?"

Shen Qingyi watched his movements.

Lu Xing said in a serious tone:

"I have a very strong sense of security."

Shen Qingyi couldn't help but roll her eyes again.

That's bullshit.

Thinking that she had already confessed her biggest secret, Shen Qingyi couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

The rest...

From then on, she would stare at this idiot every single day.

Help him cross the street properly, and tell him to stay up less late and not to overexert himself.

As for whether fate will reach out that cold hand again...

Shen Qingyi didn't know.

But at least this time, she won't be powerless to do anything.

Just as the girl was deep in thought, Lu Xing tugged at her sleeve.

"Look, what's that?"

Shen Qingyi looked in the direction he pointed.

There is a small supermarket on the street.

The signboard was lit with white lights, and the freezers inside glowed with a faint blue light.

Shen Qingyi was somewhat puzzled.

"What's wrong with this supermarket?"

Lu Xing said with a smile:

"Wait for me a minute."

As soon as he finished speaking, he released Shen Qingyi's hand and strode into the shop.

Shen Qingyi stood at the door, watching his back.

The boy walked across the shelves, went to the beverage cabinet, bent down, and opened the cabinet door.

Cold, white steam rose from the cabinet.

He browsed through them for a few seconds, and finally took out a bottle of orange soda.

Lu Xing, holding a soft drink, stood in front of the cashier to pay.

Then he walked back to her, handed her the soda, and smiled:

"I'll buy you a bottle of orange soda, honey."

Shen Qingyi was momentarily dazed.

After realizing what had happened, she slapped him hard.

"Who's your wife?!"

"He's not even old enough for legal age yet, what are you yelling about?"

Lu Xing was swayed to the side by the camera, but he still smiled.

He unscrewed the cap on her soda bottle.

The glass bottle made a soft "hissing" sound as tiny bubbles instantly emerged.

Lu Xing handed her the freshly opened soda again.

"So, once we reach the appropriate age, we'll immediately go and get our marriage certificate?"

Shen Qingyi was about to take the soda when she heard this and paused.

The next second, she looked at him with a smile.

"all right."

"However, you'll have to get past my dad first~"

Lu Xing's smile froze.

Shen Qingyi blinked and continued in a sweet tone:

"My dad has always loved me since I was little..."

Lu Xing immediately lowered his head.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Shen Qingyi gave a soft hum.

"Is that all the courage you have?"

Lu Xing muttered to himself.

"This is called a strategic retreat."

"What did you say?"

"I'd say my uncle is definitely wise, magnanimous, and has a discerning eye!"

Shen Qingyi almost laughed at his joke.

She took the soda, lowered her head, and took a sip.

The icy soda went down my throat, the bubbles bursting gently on my tongue.

Shen Qingyi gripped the bottle, her eyes momentarily unfocused.

Lu Xing noticed that she had quieted down and asked softly:

"How is it?"

Shen Qingyi snapped out of her daze and looked down at the soda in her hand.

"The taste now... will be quite different from the taste in the future."

Lu Xing turned his head and asked curiously:

"Is that even a saying?"

"Aren't they all orange soda?"

Shen Qingyi glanced at him.

"The ingredients are different now."

"More and more shoddy workmanship will gradually appear in the future, and the taste will naturally change."

Lu Xing nodded in realization.

"That's certainly true..."

He had actually felt that way too.

Some snacks I ate as a child, when I buy them again as an adult, always seem a little off.

Some say it's due to childhood nostalgia, while others say the formula has changed.

Lu Xing hadn't studied it seriously.

For him, most things are okay as long as they're edible.

Shen Qingyi saw through his thoughts and smiled.

"Of course, for a glutton like you who's like a cow chewing on a peony, the taste is pretty much the same."

Lu Xing immediately shook his head seriously.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Shen Qingyi looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Um?"

Lu Xing said earnestly:

"I probably can't tell the difference between most of the food served outside."

Shen Qingyi raised an eyebrow slightly; that was the truth.

She knew that Lu Xing wasn't that particular about food.

Expensive or cheap, exquisite or rough.

As long as the food isn't outrageously bad, he can eat it quite happily.

The next second, Lu Xing continued:

"But I can definitely tell the difference in a dish you made yourself just by taking one bite."

Shen Qingyi glanced at him.

"what?"

"Is what I made really that bad?"

Lu Xing was speechless.

"How is that possible?"

He looked at Shen Qingyi and explained in a serious tone:

"I mean, your cooking is absolutely delicious, it's exactly what I like to eat..."

At this point, Lu Xing suddenly stopped.

Shen Qingyi pursed her lips and instantly turned her head away.

"Don't tell."

Lu Xing scratched his cheek.

Shen Qingyi's voice was soft, yet it carried a hint of unreasonable command.

"I know what you want to say, but you're not allowed to say it."

Lu Xing coughed lightly.

"cough……"

"In short, it's delicious!"
