Li Huanhuan, 26 years old, is just a passerby in a book. She meets the protagonist at a blind date.
Qin Shi is the male protagonist of the book—a genius esports player, super popular, broad...
Chapter 55 Chapter 55 "It seems that you really like me."...
"Hmm? Li Huanhuan? Why aren't you talking? Are you asleep?"
Not hearing any movement, Qin Shi, who was lying on the big bed, asked.
Li Huanhuan came back to his senses from his daze, with a complicated expression on his face.
She wanted to say, yes, she slept.
However, this is unreasonable, and Qin Shi obviously won't believe it.
"Why are you talking to me about this?" Li Huanhuan asked with difficulty.
This would be quite intrusive, you know?
“Why can’t we chat?”
Qin Shi's voice was filled with doubt, and it was unclear whether it was real doubt or just pretending. "Sister, don't be shy. If you are embarrassed, I can tell you first what kind of girls I like."
Li Huanhuan pursed his lips and said, "No need."
She doesn't want to know.
"Then tell me, what kind of boy do you like?" Qin Shi seemed not to hear her rejection at all, and climbed up the pole, "Don't tell me it's your senior."
The tone sounds a bit sour.
“…”
Li Huanhuan remained silent.
After Qin Shi urged him again, he finally spoke reluctantly: "No."
"Huh? Didn't you say last night that you once liked your senior? Your ideal type is not your senior?" Qin Shi's tone sounded a little sarcastic.
"Liking someone is different from having an ideal type. No, what I mean is..."
Well, Li Huanhuan himself was almost confused by Qin Shi’s “questions without a sense of boundaries”. She paused and said, "Can you please stop mentioning Senior for a while?"
Li Huanhuan began to regret telling him about his senior yesterday.
Sure enough, people's brains tend to expand and become impulsive at night, so they should be cautious before speaking!
"Oh, I understand." Qin Shi said meaningfully.
Li Huanhuan didn't want to ask, but she felt that there were two eyes staring at her in the darkness, urging her. Li Huanhuan got goose bumps all over his body from the overly enthusiastic gaze. Finally, he sighed silently in his heart and asked, "What do you know?"
Sure enough, the next second Qin Shi said: "You must not like that senior now. Otherwise, you would not want me to mention him."
"……yes."
This time, Qin Shi guessed right.
"So what kind do you like?"
As a result, before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, Qin Shi's questions came from the direction of the bed again.
“…”
"Speak, sister, don't be shy."
It seemed as if he had to know tonight.
It seemed that there was no way to find out, so she was not allowed to sleep.
"Tell me about it. For me, I like someone like your sister." Qin Shi suddenly said.
"???"
Li Huanhuan was stunned.
However, after several consecutive system outages tonight, Li Huanhuan has become somewhat immune to Qin Shi's "dirty talk". No longer like the beginning.
If she had heard him say this at the beginning, she would definitely have thought too much and would not be able to sleep tonight.
Just like now, half of her face is red. The other half was pressed down and could not be seen clearly in the darkness.
"Stop talking nonsense! If you want to know what type of the opposite sex I like, I'll just tell you." Li Huanhuan touched his flushed cheeks and deliberately lowered his voice to make his voice sound calm and normal.
Qin Shi said "Oh" without explaining.
The night is dark and the moonlight is beautiful.
The bright moonlight shone through the window glass, leaving a bright white shadow on the tiles of the bay window. The cool air, sent out from the air outlet of the central air conditioner, also brings comfort and pleasure to this summer night.
Li Huanhuan was lying on the sofa near the window.
She lay face up, looking calmly at the ceiling which seemed hazy and blurry in the night. She was also in a very calm mood.
"No," she said.
"Um?"
A surprised voice came from the direction of the big bed.
Just when Qin Shi was about to tell her that she couldn't lie or be perfunctory, he heard Li Huanhuan continue, "I don't have an ideal type, and I haven't thought about what kind of opposite sex I would like."
She paused, as if choosing her words, "I don't think I'll fall in love with anyone or establish a closer relationship with anyone. I haven't even had any fantasies about marriage."
After the words were spoken, the bedroom fell silent.
The air was filled with a kind of silent, uneasy alienation.
Qin Shi fell silent.
Li Huanhuan stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.
She didn't lie or exaggerate. She originally didn't want to discuss this kind of thing with anyone, nor did she think about telling someone one day.
Perhaps it was during these two days that Qin Shi knocked on the "snail's glass tank", causing the "snail" living in the glass tank to suddenly become curious about the outside world and start communicating with the outside world. That's why she spoke out her true feelings on impulse.
Ah, I’m impulsive again!
Li Huanhuan was already regretting it.
She knew that this idea was strange, so she didn't even tell her mother Su Mei or her best friend Xiao Jing about it. Worrying that they wouldn't understand was one thing, but the main thing was that she was afraid that they would worry, especially her mother.
After experiencing the death of her ex-husband and marital problems, Li Huanhuan finally met her current uncle Liu, and their reconstituted marriage is harmonious. She doesn't want him to worry about her anymore.
Besides, this is just Li Huanhuan’s own idea. She is just a passerby in the world, not even a minor supporting role. Her thoughts do not affect anyone, so they are not that important.
No love, no one to like?
In her "otaku" life, it's not even a Category 1 typhoon.
She just felt a little regretful now, for having said all this to Qin Shi on impulse. The so-called "talking deeply to someone you just met" is a taboo in interpersonal communication!
She couldn't imagine what Qin Shi would think of her after hearing these words? Do you think she is a freak? Think she's a little scary?
After all, words like “I won’t form close relationships with anyone” would make you seem cold and emotionally apathetic, like a cold-blooded monster.
If Qin Shi thought that she was dark-hearted and wanted to stay away from her, she actually, well, she had to admit that she was not ready yet. She now really wanted to ask Qin Shi to forget what she had just said. Or, if she knew hypnosis, she could make Qin Shi lose his memory on his own initiative.
Here, Li Huanhuan was feeling uneasy about his "talking too deeply to a friend he had just met".
On the other side, Qin Shi finally spoke after a long silence. His voice sounded strange in the darkness: "Li Huanhuan."
"exist."
"Have you ever thought about what kind of opposite sex you would like?"
He said with some difficulty, "What about homosexuals? You don't like homosexuals, do you?"
"Of course, of course not!"
Li Huanhuan was stunned. He didn't expect Qin Shi's thoughts to drift so far. "I'm not gay."
She had never thought about what kind of opposite sex she would enter into marriage with, but she was very sure that she was definitely not a lesbian.
"Oh, that's good." Qin Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad you understand." Li Huanhuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
"What about the senior you mentioned before? Didn't you say that you haven't considered it?" Qin Shi asked.
“Well, this is actually…”
Li Huanhuan hesitated for a moment, but finally explained, "It's just that kind of girlish emotion, the vague affection of adolescence. I'm not gay. It's normal to have a crush on a handsome, tall, good student, and good in all aspects of a man."
"oh."
On the bed, Qin Shi touched his chin and said, "I am also very good-looking, tall, and a lot of girls like me. I am also a professional player with very good skills. So it seems that you should have a good impression of me too."
“Huh? Ah!!!”
Li Huanhuan's eyes suddenly widened.
Hello, hello? ? ?
Please don't make any random associations, okay? This is not the same thing at all!
Li Huanhuan was in a mess.
What's going on in Qin Shi recently?
Have you stayed at home for too long and haven’t seen other people? Is it the estrus period?
Ahem, sorry, sorry. How could she have such evil thoughts? In the end, Qin Shi’s words were attributed to “narcissism”, the narcissism of the protagonist!
"So excited? It seems that you really like me." Qin Shi said.
"no……"
"I'm not handsome, tall, or powerful?"
"no……"
"Does that mean you admit that you like him?"
“…”
Li Huanhuan remained silent.
No one doesn't like handsome guys, but...
"Have you studied anywhere recently?" Li Huanhuan asked sincerely.
"Um?"
"You are becoming more and more eloquent."
It is now difficult for her to surpass Qin Shi in words.
"Thank you for the compliment."
Qin Shi raised the corner of his mouth, "I knew you liked me."
“…”
Li Huanhuan was speechless.
He turned over on the sofa and said, "I'm going to sleep."
"No, I have one last question." Qin Shi called her.
"What?"
"How did you and Fox know each other?" Qin Shi.
Um?
Why are we suddenly talking about Canyang?
Li Huanhuan was stunned for a moment.
"Li Huanhuan, are you still listening?" Qin Shi asked when he got no response.
Li Huanhuan closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
"Li Huanhuan?"
"elder sister?"
…
I was just pretending to sleep.
Later, Li Huanhuan didn't know how he fell asleep. But this night, she no longer slept until dawn. She had a dream.
In her dream, she returned to the time when her father was still alive.
The evening light shone through the crack in the door. Li Huanhuan was standing in the darkness at the door wearing pajamas and holding a cat doll. The light coming through the crack in the door shone directly onto her slippered feet.
"Woo, why? Why are you doing this?"
“…”
"Tell me, who is that woman?"
"What woman, I don't know what you are talking about."
"That woman who was holding your hand at the intersection! You two were holding hands, and my mom and I saw it."
“Crazy.”
…
The sound of the quarrel inside the door gradually became blurred, and fell intermittently into the ears of young Li Huanhuan through the crack in the door, marking the beginning of a family change.
dad? Mother?
Young Li Huanhuan held a doll and stared blankly at the two people arguing through the crack of the door.
This scene broke Li Huanhuan's trust in marriage, love and loyalty. No matter how beautiful a love is, after the time has faded away the initial throbbing and the hormones have dissipated, all that is left is betrayal and mess.
What is love?
What is responsibility?
In the heart of young Li Huanhuan, parents represent love and father represents responsibility.
All her beautiful fantasies about love, marriage, and family, her happy and dreamy childhood, her admiration for her father and her longing for her parents' love were shattered on that day by her beloved father, the father who always told her stories with a smile, played with her, and would take unfamiliar children to the hospital in the rain.
Crash.
Crash.
The dream shattered into pieces, small and distant.
The next day.
When Li Huanhuan woke up, the pillow was a little wet. She found that it was already bright outside the window. Click, Qin Shi pushed the door open with his crutch at this moment, and Li Huanhuan heard the noise coming from outside.
Qin Shi told her that his friends came to see him at home.
