Please let us move the time back to Sakura's apartment half an hour ago.
"Eh? Can you repeat your request?"
A disbelief appeared on Xu Shenxing's face, he picked out his ears, and then asked the girl in front of him, "I seem to have misheard just now."
"Please be my boyfriend!"
"I reject!"
Old Xu shook his head without thinking.
Then he looked at Song Yu suspiciously, and asked with concern: "Have you been stimulated by something?"
After all, not long ago, Old Xu had rejected the girl's confession. Judging from Song Yu's usual mature behavior, it seemed that the girl was not someone who would rashly make such an inevitable failure.
"No, what I mean is," Song Yu blushed when Xu Shenxing stared at him, and said with evasive eyes, "my parents are coming to Jiangjin, during the time they stay here, can you Can't pretend to be my boyfriend."
"So that's it. Simply put, it's a shield, right?"
Xu Shenxing showed a sudden realization expression.
After all, such plots often appear in urban online novels, and Xu Shenxing is not unfamiliar.
Xu Shenxing would also be a little disgusted if it was the kind of fake boyfriend who was purely for attracting firepower and used as a target to attract hatred for the crazy bees and butterflies who pursued the heroine.
Although Xu Shenxing is almost not afraid of anyone finding fault in this world, it does not mean that he likes to live that kind of troublesome life: otherwise, he has a lot of ways to do some great things, and even conquering the world is not a delusion...
But judging from Song Yu's description, the role of this fake boyfriend seems to be to help her deal with her parents, and it doesn't need to pretend for too long.
Coupled with Song Yu's devotion to Ying's apartment all day long, if he doesn't even do this little favor, Xu Shenxing will not be able to pass this test in his heart.
Seeing Xu Shenxing's frowning expression, Song Yu's eyes, which originally revealed a little hope, gradually dimmed.
She tried her best to restrain her sad expression, and comforted Xu Shenxing with a forced smile: "It's okay, actually, you don't need to care about it that much. It's not a serious matter. At worst, I'll confess to my parents that I'm just lying. It’s over after being scolded for a few words, right.”
From the beginning to the end, the girl never thought about finding other boys to pretend to be her boyfriend. With her appearance and reputation, I am afraid that as long as she leaks a little word, even if she is pretending to be a couple, there are many people who are willing to do so.
That kind of smile is so bitter, even with Lao Xu's heart of stone, he can't help but feel a little distressed for it.
"I see."
So he sighed deeply: "Then do it."
"What?" The girl was stunned.
"Didn't you say that?" Xu Shenxing stretched out his thumb and grinned, his exposed teeth seemed to be biting brightly: "Boyfriend and boyfriend (fake)."
His tone was a bit funny, in fact Xu Shenxing planned to use this kind of trickery to make the atmosphere easier. This method has been tried and tested in the past.
But this time the effect was completely different from before.
Song Yu, who was standing like a sculpture, was dumbfounded and did not respond. After a while, big tears oozed from the girl's eye sockets like pearls, and slid down her fair face.
"Hey, did I say it was too frivolous?!" Xu Shenxing was suddenly at a loss.
"Yeah, sorry..."
Song Yu sniffed and wiped away the tears on her face with her sleeve, but the more tears she wiped away.
"I don't know why... I'm obviously very happy... But the tears just keep coming out."
Although the tears flowed continuously, the girl's face was not sad, but a kind of inexplicable, unexplainable, as if the pain had come, and as if the past sacrifices had paid off, it was slightly moved and joyful.
Xu Shenxing felt that his memory seemed to be touched.
In the distant past, there seemed to be a girl who once showed such an expression to herself.
When he came back to his senses, Xu Shenxing found that he had already touched Song Yu's cheek.
"Carefully..." The girl seemed to be a little nervous and closed her eyes, her lips were bright red, and her eyelashes with teardrops seemed to be longer than before, which made people's heart skip a beat.
But the person facing him was not the Yiren who had passed away after all.
Xu Shenxing felt empty in his heart.
When she, who made a vow to the three moons of Olavia, passed away suddenly, I didn't feel sad, what I had was only infinite emptiness and loss.
But at this moment, he began to feel that something in his chest was throbbing, as if it was being clenched tightly.
"..."
Ah, so it's not that I haven't been sad, but that I simply can't accept her leaving and even the feeling of sadness is self-paralyzed? I didn't feel the pain until now, the reflex arc is too long, isn't it
While laughing at himself in his heart, Xu Shenxing let go of the hand that stroked the girl's face.
Song Yu slowly opened his eyes, revealing a trace of imperceptible loss.
"I'm sorry." Fortunately, Lao Xu can be regarded as a person who has experienced big storms, and his self-control ability is still very good.
After pulling himself out of the pain, Xu Shenxing apologized to the girl with a wry smile.
"Well," the girl shook her head: "I should apologize to you, it's such an unreasonable request..."
"So what should I do? Just pretend to wait until your parents arrive?" Xu Shenxing, who didn't want to be stuck in this atmosphere, immediately turned the topic to substantive issues.
Sure enough, Song Yu's question attracted all his attention, and he began to think hard.
"According to my parents' style, when they call me, 80% of them are already on their way here."
Then the girl looked serious: "I need to clean the house. My mother is a bit of a clean freak. I've been in Sakura's apartment recently, and the hygiene at home is a bit negligent... Xing Xing, can you go and buy vegetables? I plan to clean it before they arrive. Finish dinner."
"Oh, leave it to me!"
Xu Shenxing had no objection to this.
"Also, this is the spare key of my apartment. You take it well, and then you can just open the door by yourself."
Seeing that Xu Shenxing did not object, the girl immediately took out a security door 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, and then replied vaguely.
"..."
Although he still wanted to ask what "emergency needs" meant, Xu Shenxing was wise enough not to ask further.
