Let's rewind time to half an hour ago at Sakura Apartment.
"Eh? Can you repeat your request? "
Xu Shenxing had an incredulous look on his face. He dug his ears and then asked the girl in front of him, "I think I heard wrong."
"Please be my boyfriend!"
"I refuse!"
Old Xu shook his head without thinking.
Then he looked at Song Yu suspiciously and asked with concern, "Did something happen to you?"
After all, Old Xu rejected the girl's confession not long ago. Judging from Song Yu's mature behavior, the girl was not someone who would rashly do something that was bound to fail.
"No, I mean," Song Yu blushed under Xu Shenxing's gaze and said evasively, "My parents are coming to Jiang Jin. While they're here, can you pretend to be my boyfriend?"
"I see. Simply put, you're a shield, right?"
Xu Shenxing showed an expression of sudden realization.
After all, this kind of plot often appeared in urban web novels. Xu Shenxing was not unfamiliar with it.
If it was the kind of fake boyfriend that was purely to attract the attention of the crazy bees and butterflies pursuing the female protagonist, Xu Shenxing would also be a little disgusted.
Although Xu Shenxing was almost not afraid of anyone in this world, it did not mean that he liked to live a troublesome life. Otherwise, he had many ways to do something big, and even conquering the world would not be a delusion …
But from Song Yu's description, this fake boyfriend's duty seemed to be to help her deal with her parents. He did not need to pretend for too long.
In addition, Song Yu was always doing her best for Sakura Apartment. If he did not help her with this small matter, Xu Shenxing would not be able to get over it.
Seeing Xu Shenxing's frown, Song Yu's eyes, which originally revealed some hope, gradually dimmed.
She tried to restrain her sad expression, forced a smile, and comforted Xu Shenxing, "It's okay, you don't have to care so much. It's not a serious matter. At most, I'll confess to my parents that I'm just lying. It'll be over after I get scolded, right? "
From the beginning to the end, the girl did not think about finding another boy to pretend to be her boyfriend. With her appearance and reputation, as long as she leaked the news, there would be a lot of people who would be willing to pretend to be her boyfriend.
That kind of smile was so bitter. Even with Old Xu's heart of stone, he could not help but feel a little heartache.
"I know."
He sighed deeply and said, "Let's do it then."
"Do what?" The girl was confused.
"Didn't you say so?" Xu Shenxing gave her a thumbs up and grinned. His teeth seemed to sparkle. "Boyfriend and girlfriend (fake)."
His tone was rather comical. In fact, Xu Shenxing also intended to use this kind of playful words and actions to lighten the atmosphere. In the past, this method had been tried and tested time and time again.
But the effect this time was completely different from before.
Song Yu, who stood there like a sculpture, did not respond. After a while, big drops of tears oozed out of the girl's eyes like pearls, sliding down her white face.
"Hey, was I too frivolous?!" Xu Shenxing suddenly felt a little lost.
"I, I'm sorry …"
Song Yu sniffled and wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve, but the more she wiped, the more tears she shed.
"I don't know why … I'm obviously very happy … but my tears keep flowing."
Although the tears kept flowing, the girl's face did not show any sadness. Instead, it was a kind of indescribable, as if the bitterness was over and the sweetness was coming, as if her past efforts were being rewarded, so slightly relaxed and moved with joy.
Xu Shenxing felt that his memory seemed to be touched.
In the distant past, there seemed to be a girl who had shown him such an expression.
When he came back to his senses, Xu Shenxing found that he had already touched Song Yu's cheek.
"Careful …" The girl seemed to be a little nervous and closed her eyes. Her lips were dark red, and her eyelashes with tears seemed to be more slender than before, making people's hearts beat faster.
But the one in front of him was not the one who had already passed away.
Xu Shenxing felt empty in his heart.
When she, who had made a vow to the three moons of Oravia, died suddenly, he did not feel sad, but only endless emptiness and confusion.
But at this moment, he began to feel that something in his chest seemed to be clenched, and it was throbbing with pain.
"…"
Ah, ah, it turns out that it's not that I don't feel sad, but that I simply can't accept her departure, and even the feeling of sadness has numbed me? Only now do I feel the pain, isn't the reaction arc too long?
While mocking himself in his heart, Xu Shenxing let go of the hand that was stroking the girl's face.
Song Yu slowly opened her eyes, and there was a trace of imperceptible disappointment in her eyes.
"Sorry." Fortunately, Old Xu was also a person who had experienced great storms and waves, and his self-control was still very good.
After pulling himself out of the pain, Xu Shenxing smiled bitterly and apologized to the girl.
"En," the girl shook her head, "I should apologize to you, it's obviously such an unreasonable request …"
"So what should I do? Just wait for your parents to arrive and pretend? "Xu Shenxing, who did not want to be bound by this atmosphere, immediately changed the topic to a more substantive issue.
Sure enough, Song Yu's attention was fully attracted by his question, and she began to think hard.
"According to my parents' style, when they called me, they were most likely already on their way here."
Then the girl said with a serious face, "I need to clean the house, my mother is a bit of a clean freak. Recently, I have been at Ying Apartment, and the hygiene of the house is a bit neglected … Shenxing, can you go buy some groceries? I plan to finish dinner before they arrive. "
"Oh, oh, leave it to me!"
Xu Shenxing had no objection to this.
"Also, this is the spare key to my apartment, take it, and open the door yourself."
Seeing that Xu Shenxing did not object, the girl immediately took out a security key from her pocket.
"Why do you carry a spare key with you?" Xu Shenxing asked curiously.
"… In case of emergency." The girl was silent for a moment, then she answered vaguely.
"…"
Although Xu Shenxing still wanted to ask what a rainy day meant, he wisely didn't continue to ask.
