I really thought about forgetting, but it was always too late.

What’s new at School C: Jian Sile, who was recently named the school beauty, has had good things happen to her one after another. Yesterday, she won the championship in the National Piano Competition. She could have made a living with her face, but she chose to rely on her talent! The official blogger saw the photo of Jian and Luo Qubai that the school beauty posted, and found that the relationship between our school beauty and school hunk is not simple! After some searching and investigation, the official blogger found out that Jian and Luo were childhood sweethearts who grew up together, and their parents were close friends. In addition, every time Jian took a piano exam or a piano competition, Luo would definitely be there to support her. Is this a disguised show of affection? If you say they are just ordinary friends, I don’t believe it. Looking at the photos below, they are not only a perfect match, but also have feelings for each other! The single official blogger said that this pair of childhood sweethearts with high looks and high IQs is simply enviable!
When Lin Qianliu, who was beating eggs, saw the news titled "News from School C" on Weibo, he was startled and his hand slipped, dropping the whole egg into the pot.
A pot of noodles was ruined.
Lin Qianliu didn't have the mood to feel regretful. He just frowned, picked up the phone beside him, and clicked on the so-called group photos one by one.
In every photo, Luo Qubai stood beside Jian Sile with a smile. She always held a trophy or certificate, and he always held a bouquet of flowers. To outsiders, they really looked like "childhood sweethearts, talented man and beautiful woman".
However, perhaps it was a girl's sixth sense that made Lin Qianliu feel that the two people in the photo were both close and kept their distance, and were definitely not in a relationship as what was said on the "C School News" Weibo.
Even if I am interested, my lover may not necessarily share my feelings.
Lin Qianliu hesitated for a while, called Luo Qubai, and asked directly: "Someone on Weibo said that you and Jian Sile are a couple."
"boring."
Lin Qianliu could not see Luo Qubai's disdainful eyes, he only heard his impatient voice.
"So, it's a rumor?"
"um, yes."
Lin Qianliu raised the corner of his mouth: "Then..."
Before he could finish his words, there was a "click" sound from the other end, and only a busy tone remained.
"You hung up on me!" Lin Qianliu cursed angrily and called back. After the call was connected, he said angrily without waiting for Luo Qubai to speak, "I haven't finished yet!"
"Oh." Luo Qubai remained indifferent.
"What is your relationship with Jian Sile?" Ignoring Luo Qubai's indifference, Lin Qianliu went straight to the point.
"Good friend." Luo Qubai replied.
"So do you like her?" Fearing that he would hang up again, Lin Qianliu hastily asked this question before his voice completely fell. After she said this, she couldn't help but put her hand over her chest. Because she was too nervous, her heart seemed to be on a roller coaster, reaching the clouds.
Perhaps it was because he heard her rapid breathing through the microphone that Luo Qubai, who usually spoke quickly and concisely, suddenly fell silent.
Time passed second by second, until Lin Qianliu felt that he was about to suffocate, and Luo Qubai's answer slowly came into his ears.
He said, "I like it." Still speaking in a nonchalant tone.
Lin Qianliu didn't know that Luo Qubai had a slight smile on his face at this moment.
A playful smile, with a hint of mischief.
"you're lying!"
Lin Qianliu hung up the phone in a rage, her heart dropping rapidly from the clouds, she gasped for breath. After a long while, she reluctantly called Luo Qubai again.
This time, the two people spoke almost at the same time -
"Lin Qianliu, will you let me do the test?"
"Luo Qubai, do you really like Jian Sile?"
After that, they were silent for a second. Lin Qianliu gritted his teeth , ignored his angry tone, and said with a fearless look, "Answer me, and I won't call you again. If you really like Jian Sile, then, then I will never call you again!"
After impulsively making a promise, Lin Qianliu regretted it the next second.
Just when Lin Qianliu wanted to take back what he had just said, Luo Qubai said calmly: "Brothers all like their own sisters."
The brother likes his sister.
It’s still our own.
Lin Qianliu was stunned for a second, then smiled brightly and said in a cheerful voice: "So you don't like Jian Sile, right? You are just good friends, right? At best, you have a brother-sister relationship, right? You only treat her as a sister, right? I told you that you don't like her, I told you, you really don't like her!"
Her noisy voice came through the phone, surrounding Luo Qubai's ears.
The repeated "is that right?" may seem like questions, but they are actually just statements.
Luo Qubai frowned slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he pressed the red "hang up" button.
The second time he heard the busy tone, Lin Qianliu felt that it was a piece of beautiful music.
She squinted her eyes and smiled, and continued to herself: "Thank you for not falling in love with Jian Sile, otherwise I don't know how to defeat her."
If my love rival is strong, I can be stronger. But if you already have someone in your heart, then I will be defeated without a fight.
Fortunately, fortunately you didn't fall in love with her, so I can accept the brother-sister relationship between you and her with ease.
Thinking of this, Lin Qianliu decided to make peace, become Jian Sile's friend, and be a mature and sensible future sister-in-law.
With this in mind, Lin Qianliu began to show his kindness to Jian Sile: he would greet her with a smile when he saw her, and would enthusiastically share snacks when he bought them; every morning when he gave Luo Qubai apples, he would bring one for Jian Sile; every afternoon when he gave Luo Qubai water, he would bring an extra bottle for Jian Sile; every time he was courteous to Luo Qubai , he would also ask Jian Sile if she needed help; when someone with bad intentions talked about Jian Sile, he would be the first to stand up and speak for her; when there were nice boys who wanted to pursue Jian Sile, he would also help give advice and deliver love letters.
She said to Jian Sile: "Luo Qubai treats you as his own sister, so I will also treat you as my best friend."
However, Jian Sile did not appreciate it, and even resisted her approach. She politely rejected Lin Qianliu with a distance, treating her more like a stranger than a classmate. If Lin Qianliu helped her out of kindness, she would say "thank you", or "but next time you can stop meddling in other people's business." Facing Lin Qianliu's attentive look, she would say indifferently: "Whether you like her or are siblings, for some feelings, two people are enough, three people would seem crowded."
At first, Lin Qianliu didn't care. He just thought that Jian Sile was just cold-tempered and believed that people's true character would be revealed over time.
Until Jian Sile threw the birthday gift Lin Qianliu gave her directly into the trash can in front of her.
When accepting the gift, Jian Sile smiled and thanked Lin Qianliu in front of Luo Qubai, saying that she liked the gift very much, but was embarrassed to let her spend money. In the blink of an eye, when the two were , she threw the gift away with disgust and said, "Even if Qubai only treats me as a sister, it is not your turn to become his other half."
Lin Qianliu finally realized that Jian Sile regarded her as a love rival, just like she had regarded her as a love rival before.
Just when Jian Sile thought that Lin Qianliu would scold her angrily, Lin Qianliu smiled with the corners of his mouth.
She was neither angry nor embarrassed, there was only pride in her smile.
Jian Sile was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"
"Thank you." Lin Qianliu thanked him nonsensically, and then said, "I'm smiling because I'm very happy. After all, you regard me as a love rival, which means that I still have some weight in Luo Qubai's heart."
"Lin Qianliu, can you stop being so self-righteous?" Jian Sile said through gritted teeth, unable to hide the anger on his face.
"Don't be angry." Lin Qianliu smiled brightly, "If you're angry, it means my guess is correct."
"Psycho! I'm angry because I really can't stand female hooligans like you. Don't say I didn't warn you, Qu Bai doesn't like girls like you!"
"He will definitely like me. Or rather, he already likes me a little bit."
"Neuropathy!"
Watching Jian Sile, who was at a loss for words, leave angrily, Lin Qianliu couldn't hide her joy. It turned out that she had occupied a place in Luo Qubai's heart without realizing it.
Time flies, and it has been two years since we first met, but it seems like just a dream.
Before meeting Luo Qubai, Lin Qianliu had never thought about how long she could persist in liking someone. She was a person who was quick to react and thought that if she wanted to love someone for a long time, the other person must give her a romantic surprise from time to time, and the only way to preserve love was to always be unexpected.
The appearance of Luo Qubai broke her expectations.
Lin Qianliu realized that it was not until the other person did nothing that she loved him for so long. Two years had passed, and she had loved him for countless three minutes. Her hair had grown from shoulder-length to waist-length, but she still loved him. She had changed seats again and again, and the deskmate next to her had changed again and again, but now she had become his deskmate again.
Thinking about this, Lin Qianliu took the chocolates on his desk and said, "To celebrate me becoming your deskmate again, give me this box of chocolates."
After saying that, without waiting for Luo Qubai to answer, she opened the box and started eating.
She watched the girl from the next class put the box of chocolates on his desk. Ever since Jian Sile replaced her as Luo Qubai's deskmate a year ago, she no longer had an excuse to deal with gifts from admirers for him.
Seeing that she was taking things without asking, just like when they first met, Luo Qubai shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm already beginning to miss the days when Jian Sile was my deskmate."
Lin Qianliu replied with a playful smile: "We are old lovers..."
"Please be careful with your words." Luo Qubai rolled his eyes, "Don't try to describe the relationship between you and me using words that imply old lovers."
"Old friends also refer to good friends who have known each other for a long time."
"We are just ordinary classmates."
"Hey, Luo Qubai, you'll easily lose me like this!"
" You've never had it, so how can you talk about losing it?" Luo Qubai looked at her with disdain, pointed at the test paper on her desk, and changed the subject, "Lin Qianliu, if you had used the time you spent eating and talking to do more exercises, your physics score wouldn't be this good."
"Yes , yes, Mr. Luo, how should I do this question?" Lin Qianliu casually pointed to the place with a red cross on the test paper.
"You don't even know something so simple?" Luo Qubai once again cast aside his contemptuous look, but picked up the pen and explained seriously, "a, b, and c are the three vertices of an equilateral triangle on the paper. At the two vertices a and b, there is a long straight wire that passes vertically through the paper. The wires carry a constant current of equal magnitude, and the direction is perpendicular to the paper and inward. Then the magnetic induction intensity at point c..."
Lin Qianliu looked at him with eyes full of admiration.
Luo Qubai felt her gaze and knocked on the table: "Do you still want to study?"
Being caught in the act, she immediately stuck out her tongue, shifted her gaze to the test paper, and pretended to be listening attentively.
It was not known whether it was her efforts and persistence that touched him, or her love that touched him, but he was no longer as indifferent as before, and he talked more with her. Sometimes, Lin Qianliu would even be so bored that he would count how many words he had spoken to her and Jian Sile that day. If he said one more word, he would be happy for the whole day.
What surprised and unexpectedly made her even more surprised was the subtle yet ubiquitous concern that Luo Qubai showed her.
He would remind her not to drink cold water during her menstrual period, would take the initiative to give her class notes when she caught a cold and asked for leave, would always have Band-Aids ready for her when she got minor injuries, would give her an umbrella on rainy days when she didn't bring one and go home in the rain... He didn't know how to say nice things, and even his concern was deliberately accompanied by contempt or annoyance, like at this moment -
After listening to Luo Qubai's analysis, Lin Qianliu concentrated on solving the problem again.
Seeing that she was almost lying on the table, Luo Qubai gently placed the back of his hand on her forehead and pushed her up, keeping her thirty centimeters away from the table.
Then, he said lightly: "If you don't want to wear glasses, you have to correct your writing posture."
Outsiders may not be able to see this kind of concern, but Lin Qianliu is very clear in his heart, because in the last class she complained about eye discomfort, and he pointed out that her writing posture was incorrect. Because he listened to her complaints, he was concerned when he saw her leaning over the table to write.
Lin Qianliu thought about it and couldn't help but smile, and teased: "If I go blind, will you still want me?"
"No." Luo Qubai pretended to be annoyed and pushed her face away, "Because I hate idiots."
"I'm not stupid." Lin Qianliu blinked.
"Not smart either." Luo Qubai ruthlessly rejected her glances and said, "If you don't correct all the wrong questions, I won't talk to you again."
"So serious?" Lin Qianliu stared at him suspiciously, and surrendered after two seconds, "Okay, okay. But I want to ask, your birthday is coming soon, what birthday present do you want?"
Luo Qubai glanced at her, adhered to the principle of keeping his word, and stopped talking.
Knowing that Luo Qubai was not joking, Lin Qianliu curled his lips and then became serious. However, he was still trying to do two things at once. While doing the questions, he was thinking about what kind of birthday party he should plan for Luo Qubai.
When Lin Qianliu was trying to find a way to surprise Luo Qubai, he saw a scene in a TV series where a female lead played guitar for a male lead. The affectionate performance of the female lead not only touched the male lead, but also touched Lin Qianliu. So, Lin Qianliu, who knew nothing about music, signed up for a crash course in guitar.
With less than a month to go before Luo Qubai's birthday, Lin Qianliu practiced desperately to play a song that would impress Luo Qubai. When she didn't have enough time, she gave up her homework and focused on practicing guitar, so much so that she was criticized by the teacher several times for not handing in her homework.
At this moment, in Luo Qubai's eyes, she seemed to have turned back into the lazy and unambitious girl she used to be.
On several occasions, Luo Qubai specifically reminded her at night to hand in her homework the next day, but her homework book was still blank the next day.
Luo Qubai was disappointed.
He remembered that in his second year of high school, after Lin Qianliu was criticized for writing a love letter on the Chinese test, he told him that because he liked him, he wanted to become a better person.
Now, looking at Lin Qianliu who never handed in her homework and was drowsy in class every day, he thought she had given up liking him.
Being abandoned by the person who has always liked him, Luo Qubai was not only depressed but also a little upset.
Finally, on the eve of her birthday, Luo Qubai said to her: "Lin Qianliu, if we can be admitted to the same university, I will give you a chance, how about it?"
At that time, Lin Qianliu was sleeping on the table, his fingers moving rhythmically as if he was fiddling with something.
When she heard Luo Qubai's voice, she immediately opened her eyes, sat up straight, and asked: "Opportunity? What opportunity?"
Luo Qubai said simply: "This is the opportunity you want."
The opportunity she wanted was just to become his girlfriend.
Lin Qianliu reacted instantly and grabbed his sleeve with a smile: "Really? Really? If we are admitted to the same university, will you accept my pursuit?"
Her smile was as beautiful as a flower, like a gentle spring breeze blowing past.
As soon as Luo Qubai's smile appeared on his lips, it was stopped abruptly. He pretended to be serious and said: "But if you can't do it, you might as well give up as soon as possible. I don't like bad girls."
poor?
Lin Qianliu realized that Luo Qubai meant that she was terrible now.
She was a little sad and upset, but she didn't explain anything. She just said, "I understand. From tomorrow on, I will study hard. Luo Qubai, I will definitely become someone who is worthy of you."
Although she promised to study hard, Luo Qubai still frowned.
He asked her, "Why start tomorrow? Can't we start now?"
Lin Qianliu laughed and made up an excuse: "Just think of it as me wanting to be lazy for one more day."
As she finished speaking, she saw the disappointment in Luo Qubai's expression. Although she felt bad and didn't want to be misunderstood, she pretended to be calm.
Seeing that she was excited about an opportunity one second and looked indifferent the next, Luo Qubai was a little confused.
It was not until the next day that Luo Qubai suddenly realized.
It turned out that she just wanted to give him a surprise, and didn't want to give up halfway, nor did she want the surprise she had prepared for a long time to become a memory of one person.
Looking at Lin Qianliu leaning against the tree trunk, playing the guitar and singing "Little Love Song", he felt happy.
She sang: Even if the heavy rain turns this city upside down, I will give you a hug.
She sang: Even if the whole world is kidnapped by loneliness, I will not run.
The evening glow dyed the entire sky, just like the ambiguity dyed every inch of the air in the breath. Her love song is her lifelong commitment.
Luo Qubai felt that Lin Qianliu in front of him was probably the best gift in his life.
Finally, the song ended and the last note floated in the air, announcing the end of this romantic surprise.
Lin Qianliu walked slowly in front of him and said, "I wanted to give you a surprise party, but then I thought about it and felt that it would be more cozy for the two of us."
Luo Qubai was smiling, but there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"Happy birthday, Luo Qubai."
Lin Qianliu ignored his pretended disdain and continued, "I wish you can have such a beautiful me to accompany you on every birthday in the future."
“It’s like a curse.”
"It's obviously a blessing! Just make a wish, just wish that we can be admitted to the same university."
