IISET Chapter 70

I’m in a Shuraba Every Time I Open My Eyes Chapter 70: Second battlefield (38)

 

Qiao Song had originally imagined that he would have a wonderful night today. He would bring Bai Xiyue into his world, drink and chat, so that their relationship would be further improved, their status would rise in Bai Xiyue’s heart, and they would naturally spend a night embracing each other. But it turned out like this.

 

And this is all because of Chu Lan.

 

The cold snow slapped him randomly on the face, and Bai Xiyue’s look made him feel a little powerless.

 

“There should be snow tonight.”

 

Bai Xiyue raised her hand to catch the snow, her voice soft.

 

“I’m in a bad mood today. I just want to go home and sleep. Let’s go home and find our own mothers.”

 

Bai Xiyue waved at Qiao Song and prepared to leave.

 

“If you can’t bear to part, then why do you want to separate?”

 

Qiao Song tried to hold back, but still couldn’t help asking.

 

He told himself that he was just curious, but the uneasy feeling in his heart could not be shaken off.

 

Bai Xiyue paused as she was leaving, and turned back to look at him.

 

“To me, Chu Lan is like an expired strawberry cake. It looks good and tempting, but once you take a bite you will feel uncomfortable all over. Why would I eat it when I know it is expired? Even though I am reluctant to do so, because it looks like it is not bad yet.”

 

Bai Xiyue’s expression was calm and she spoke in a relaxed manner, but she gave people a very depressing feeling.

 

Bai Xiyue knew too well how to express reluctance and sadness in a calm manner. She didn’t even need tears, just a calm voice and eyes like dead water.

 

Qiao Song felt more and more depressed.

 

Even though Chu Lan was an expired cake, he still left a considerable weight in Bai Xiyue’s heart.

 

He originally thought that he had a certain status in Bai Xiyue’s heart, and if he worked hard, he would surely succeed.

 

But that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.

 

The fingers hanging at his sides twisted unconsciously together. There was something in his heart that he didn’t quite understand, wanting to roar out from his chest but it was suppressed.

 

Bai Xiyue saw it and thought it was interesting.

 

It seems that the progress bar is closer to the full value than I thought.

 

There is not only one way of liking something; Different people express it in different ways.

 

Some people know that liking someone means liking them, but some people may not understand.

 

So Bai Xiyue decided to advance the plan.

 

“Hello, Qiao Song.”

 

The girl put her hands in her pockets and raised her chin towards him.

 

“I don’t have anyone around me right now. Do you want to be my boyfriend? The kind we can date and sleep with?”

 

In the dim light, her eyes sparkled.

 

Qiao Song felt that he should happily agree, but it seemed as if something was stuck in his heart, like a thorn in his throat.

 

Caring is only the first step in liking someone, the second step is to mind.

 

Then Qiao Song heard his own voice.

 

“To you, Chu Lan is an expired strawberry cake, so what am I to you?”

 

He is still a fence-sitter.

 

In fact, Qiao Song can be a loyal dog in a sense, of course, his partner must be extremely beautiful in his eyes.

 

But no one can stay beautiful all the time, everyone always has a tired side and an ugly side.

 

No one can stay beautiful all the time, and time is never biased towards others.

 

“You are my sweetheart.”

 

Bai Xiyue said this with a hint of frivolity.

 

Qiao Song felt that he should laugh, but he just couldn’t.

 

He didn’t know what was wrong with him, and something seemed very wrong.

 

What’s in front of me is clearly what I’ve always wanted, but why do I feel so depressed, as if there’s a voice in my heart that keeps saying “No, this is not the way it is.” So what should I do?

 

“Don’t want to? If you don’t want to, forget it.”

 

Bai Xiyue spread her hands.

 

Qiao Song’s body moved faster than his thoughts. He held Bai Xiyue’s hand tightly, but there was lingering depression in his eyes.

 

“We do.”

 

At this moment, the faint smile on Qiao Song’s face was almost the master’s personality, and the two expressions were strangely blended together on one face.

 

It was clearly a smile, but it made people feel a little chilly.

 

We do.

 

Sometimes things a person doesn’t understand don’t necessarily turn out to be confusing when another person comes to them.

 

The main personality saw the hesitation and depression of the secondary personality.

 

He knew why.

 

It’s just that he doesn’t want to be a substitute in a failed relationship, as if Bai Xiyue only looked for him because she lost Chu Lan.

 

It seemed to have become a way for her to escape and vent her emotions, but it wasn’t that she liked him.

 

But it doesn’t matter, just get it first.

 

You will have everything you want.

 

As long as they get it and slowly drive out the shadow in her heart, it will be theirs sooner or later.

 

Bai Xiyue didn’t feel scared, but she was amazed in her heart.

 

Wow, this is a standard double-person format struggle!

 

Write it down in a notebook and practice it when you get home. You may need it in the future.

 

“Then it’s settled, boyfriend, take me home.”

 

Bai Xiyue smiled and shook their clasped hands, and saw Qiao Song nod.

 

They walked home hand in hand, just like an ordinary couple.

 

When he woke up the next day, there was a layer of white between the sky and the earth.

 

Chu Lan didn’t come to class.

 

The system didn’t want Bai Xiyue to report about Chu Lan anymore, because Chu Lan had already succeeded and there was no value in reporting anymore.

 

The teacher said in class that Chu Lan was sick and that he had been sick for almost three days.

 

During these three days, Bai Xiyue and Qiao Song were extremely sweet.

 

She was like a competent girlfriend, flirtatious, well-behaved and sweet, making Qiao Song blush and his heart beat fast when he put on glasses, and wanted to think about philosophy when he took off his glasses.

 

During these three days, Shen Wan came to find Bai Xiyue and asked her to go with her to visit Chu Lan.

 

At that time, Qiao Song was beside Bai Xiyue, looking at Bai Xiyue quietly without saying a word.

 

Bai Xiyue decisively refused.

 

She was afraid that if she went there, Chu Lan would become autistic, so she decided not to go up and continue to attack him, lest others would think that she was still obsessed with him.

 

Shen Wan was very puzzled. She thought that even if there was no ambiguous relationship between them, it should not be excessive for a classmate to visit him.

 

Bai Xiyue just touched her hair and shook her head at her.

 

Shen Wan felt like she had grasped something, but she didn’t seem to understand it very well.

 

She went there by herself, still puzzled as to why Bai Xiyue didn’t come.

 

When she noticed the pain Chu Lan showed when he heard Bai Xiyue’s name, she suddenly understood why Bai Xiyue didn’t come.

 

She still didn’t understand these love stories, and didn’t know why these people were happy at one moment and sad at another.

 

When Chu Lan came back to class, he seemed more inaccessible than before.

 

He was like a piece of ice, freezing everyone who came close to him.

 

He was thinner than before, and his eyes were so dark that one couldn’t see through them.

 

He ignored Bai Xiyue as if she were nothing, and walked past her without glancing at her.

 

It’s not because he didn’t care, but because he cared too much. Every time he sees it, he feels like his trachea was pulling on his lungs and it hurts.

 

Since it is impossible, just pretend you didn’t see it.

 

Compared to Chu Lan’s pain, Qiao Song felt like he was living in a dream.

 

It feels like walking on clouds, light and floating, and not very real.

 

Bai Xiyue was applying medicine to him.

 

The marks from the fight with Chu Lan a few days ago were still on his body. Chu Lan looked fine, his face was still swollen and his body was still bruised.

 

Bai Xiyue used a cotton swab to apply medicine on him, her eyes full of seriousness. There was his reflection in her eyes, which were incredibly gentle.

 

“Painful.”

 

“You’ve been applying the medicine for three days, and it still hurts?”

 

“Um.”

 

“Then I’ll blow it for you.”

 

Qiao Song narrowed his eyes in satisfaction and put his arms around Bai Xiyue’s waist.

 

Bai Xiyue treated him with great patience and took her time.

 

Half a month passed in this warm and sweet way, and Qiao Song’s heart gradually calmed down.

 

Maybe he was not as pessimistic as he thought. Maybe Chu Lan was just a piece of expired cake that made Bai Xiyue feel uncomfortable in her stomach.

 

Throwing it away will make you sad, but eating it will make you sick.

 

Bai Xiyue took Qiao Song to the tofu pudding shop.

 

When they sat down, they saw Chu Lan pushing the door open.

 

“You brought him here?”

 

Chu Lan’s face turned extremely ugly at that moment, even losing its color.

 

Chu Lan felt that this store should be a special place, both for him and Bai Xiyue.

 

But now, Bai Xiyue brought Qiao Song to this store.

 

“The boss opened the shop to welcome customers and do business, why can’t I bring him here?”

 

Bai Xiyue asked back, smiling.

 

The huge malice came towards him, and Chu Lan left here in a nearly embarrassed manner.

 

“Is there any story behind this place?”

 

“It’s just a place where I used to meet him often. The memory of him is no longer important. You are sitting opposite me now, and from now on on this will be the story of you and me.”

 

Bai Xiyue has curved eyebrows and a pair of very attractive eyes.

 

Qiao Song was sure that he was in love.

 

Whether it is the main personality or the secondary personality, there is always a smile on his face.

 

They had quarreled before, and when they quarreled, Bai Xiyue would always say that you only like me because of my face, and you don’t really like me at all.

 

Qiao Song didn’t care much at first, but when Bai Xiyue didn’t eat with him, or didn’t let him go home with her, he started to panic.

 

Da Qiao was not very good at speaking and always explained clumsily.

 

“I like you, not just because of your face.”

 

He loved her casual flirtatiousness, her calmness when reading, and every pout and raise of her eyebrows. The longer the time passed, the more he couldn’t help himself.

 

He was almost obsessed with her. Even if there were many people around him, as long as she was within his sight, he couldn’t concentrate on anyone else.

 

Xiao Qiao was more direct. He lay on her and spoke love words over and over again without getting tired of it. He was greedy for the feeling of being close to Bai Xiyue, craving for her warmth, and admiring her eyes that could speak.

 

Qiao Song never knew that liking someone could be addictive.

 

Qiao Song was addicted to this love and thought he could stay with Bai Xiyue like this for a long time.

 

Because she liked him so much too.

 

Until that day, they walked on the road as usual.

 

“Qiao Song.”

 

“Um?”

 

“Let’s break up.”

 

“What?”

 

Qiao Song felt that he might have heard it wrong and couldn’t even keep his smile.

 

“I said, let’s break up.”

 

“I met a guy. He is very handsome. He is the most handsome guy I have ever seen. I want to pursue him.”

 

“So let’s split up.”

 

The girl spoke confidently, with some longing on her face.

 

“Just because that person is good-looking?”

 

Qiao Song was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and there was disbelief in his voice.

 

Bai Xiyue raised her eyebrows and looked at him, as if asking, isn’t this reason enough?
